welcome back you're watching r.t. live from moscow here's a look at the top stories brushes odyssey to join the world trade organization is now closed today and after almost two decades moscow overcame the last hurdle on the way to accession by sealing a cool szell customs agreement with georgia. italy's borrowing costs here record high pushing the country to the brink of financial collapse and dragging global markets down that's despite the country's prime minister silvio berlusconi promising to resign as soon as calm approves the stereo measures demanded by the

e.u. . and western powers to push for fresh sanctions against iran bolling the latest report on its alleged nuclear ambitions russia rejected the idea as counterproductive while the iranians it has nothing to hide calling the i.a.e.a. findings politicized. all the un human rights chief says syria is very close to becoming like libya where an uprising against a long standing near turned into a civil war more than three thousand people are reported to have died and the anti-government protests that started eight months ago so r.t. spoke to the country's deputy foreign ministry about the ongoing crisis.

if i say that nick that syria's deputy foreign minister thank you very much for being with us today sir i hope it will be with you now according to him un human rights reports over three thousand people have been killed in syria addresses a protest starting in march for how long we'll see reckon on those against people. i think the question should be the opposite the question should be what's happening in syria. of course the credibility of some international non-governmental organizations have been lost because they don't take into consideration what's really happening no one of these organizations has said that syria has lost more than one thousand one hundred fifty multi-use from the army and this is ridiculous do you think this is the correct approach absolutely not.

yes many civilians were killed assess in ated but people have to ask the question who killed them and why they were killed because women of our security forces were able to detain. themselves admitted that they were killing demonstrators in syria to keep the pace of demonstrations going on not only that but some of those criminals said they were killing people to keep for example the illegal building of houses in certain areas because they cannot violate the law if the most gracious were not there so these are the cases however we believe the killing of a single pierce is too much he believe that life of one person is already crucial and this question is they still keep taking place and i just say that syria is at a state of the civil war you know. i mean those who are provoking these

developments plant syria to go through a civil war and you know the complexity of the syrian population. is so deep because this is the history of syria we have something from everything. we have the three monotheistic religions within the each religion we have all the denominations so those who are behind these developments want really to lead the country into a civil particularly when we correctly define those forces behind the developments that are going on i'll tell you those are religious extremists celestial states drug traffickers and smugglers they have been provided with up to date the phonology of communication. by the will nor the forces from outside syria and financing of terrorism and terrorist action has taken place so much

billions of dollars were smuggled into syria to encourage people to disturb the peace in the country and not to mention the tens of thousands of weapons that have been also smuggled into the country from piercy from libya from iraq and all neighboring countries can you really say that the whole opposition is made of pure islamists and there are no civilians who are just fighting for a better life absolutely not this is my answer because we have a position from inside the country syria the syrian leadership as of the nicest that there is a position and we have to take into account the views of the opposition and to work together with this opposition to build the new syria your government is actually maintaining talent with the opposition you've actually filled some of their demands

as well but. you cannot just disregard the uprisings is in syria are taking place on a backdrop of numerous uprisings and revolutions that took place in the arab world and no one ever thought barracks regime would be put down no one ever thought an early would be ousting. no one ever thought anyone could touch qaddafi. he cannot just think that syria is a complete different story when these events are taking place at the same time do you think something like this could happen in syria of course we're organized mystics and we recognize the fact that the reform process. did not start. as it was expected to start these are the realities we have to. accept that what we do not expect is the five things developed so in such a way in such a violent way. in a way that contradicts with the spirit of the syrian people social media has played

a crucial role in egypt how is that affecting syria it's also i mean played a big role we have confiscated i mean and the cars of many diplomatic missions in syria a lot of these i mean mobilize and so on yes the social media was used. it seems to me it was used in negative way but. the government did not impose any restrictions on the amber instructions of president as it on the use of social media and also that the conflict between the willing alow it and the sunni majority has lingered on for attacking it do you think that may collect has in some way contributed to the uprisings and the conflict this is a very dangerous question in syria we don't think of minorities and majorities this

is this is a recipe for the disintegration of the country we don't speak certain. in syria everybody has the right to be a prisoner in syria everybody has the right to be a prime minister you know throughout our history the first prime minister was. christian orthodox. what's wrong with that. and none of they are trying to mislead the syrian people to mislead the international public opinion to speak about certain issues which main object of is to divide the syrian people and this is where we differ from egypt and the from others in syria we have a political system that defends the sovereignty of the country and in syria we are under such an attack because we say no to the policies of the united states in the region supporting subjugation of the region into the interest and serving the major interests of israel can you talk

a little bit about neat underclothes you know how nato is very cynical when it comes to the choice of interfering in one country or another why i think it's not touching syria are not cross very i mean for the time being they cannot touch syria i mean if they knew that i mean going to syria is easy. they will do what we think they cannot because the entire region is against this in libya when they are to interfere under the pretext of human rights protecting the libyan people i think even if the battery lives hundred years more he will not kill a small number of the people who has killed more than fifty thousand people killed by him at. i think those who committed these crimes should go to international courts when they need to implement that that was a. seventy three the way they did it in

a criminal way russia said no said no the majority of security council members said no russia is only working in the interests of syria we believe russia is working also in the interests of world peace and security in the interest of russian interests and russian policy as a peaceful power as a great power that wants to maintain peace and security in the entire world if they manipulate the situation in the middle east they will do with every word in the world. but has become very common vision libya is an issue or. those countries are rushing now to divide the. begins of the war among themselves your excellency from what it thinks from the outside but also. prevents or taking place in your country are affected by outside players for instance turkey turkey wants to be

a leading power in for the sunnis in the region and we know that sunnis from the core of the opposition in syria also know that turkey provides support for the opposition or syrian national council i would think double standards here can turkey use this whole thing to its advantage i'm taking your question i'm not very early if the turkish government would pursue its policies in the imperial way according to the ottoman systems they commit a big mistake for turkey for the position of turkey in the region. who told them they are i mean the custom audience of sudanese and the entire world nobody has the right to interfere and that what they were so pretext including took if they want to interfere and then disguise because this is a big mistake it's not just turkey the syrian t.v. has aired an interview with a captured terrorist who admitted receiving aid from saudi arabia and jordan why

would these countries want catherine the reason here you have touch of the very sensitive issue and the financing of terrorism. and until now at least we don't say officially that i mean the saudi government or the jordanian government or the lebanese government or the government are financing these groups tourist. but we believe money is coming from these comes from an unofficial sickness our appeal to our brothers and sisters in all these countries is not to allow that because and the united nations this is called financing of terrorism they are sending money to conceal this and i believe this should be stopped since the clashes are still taking place and the protests are still going on what do you personally for the near future in syria

what's going to happen of course you are right when you said there are still some clashes between those terrorist elements and the police and security forces we hope to stop because as i said the killing of a single syrian is a big tragedy. now you will ask me ok what's that we are where we are our thirty four prison that assad has put on the table a comprehensive plan of reforms so the whole process is a matter of three four months and then the new syria will image thank you very much your excellency for this interview thank you. wealthy british style. is not on the money.

everything he achieved including his read of the olympic games that cannot be taken away is true so you know you've been busy for millions returning swimmer am thorpe is continuing to struggle in the pool the twenty nine year old unable to discern that side of the string of poor performances during the one hundred meter butterfly world cup events in beijing but there straight in isn't fretting so much physically if you want to do something it's easy enough to get through. and be you know in shape to be able to do it i think you know then. and being able to get in that shape to get the feeling back this is the next most difficult thing and then you know getting your head around this whole concept of rice and also you know kind of the emotional attachment that you had to what you used to do so you know all of those things combined. palestina shop on the ice where we continue our profile on clubs from the europe's strongest hockey league make a show it's been a baptism of fire from you boys pulp rad so far but as robert harding on reports

the slovak side are as fired up as they're seen song so prove they belong. if. shell means such. a plant fish he gives. me a c. love like they're a club and from the pride of slope it's hockey all rocking and rolling with the best in europe strongest leagues a team which are based in the small city of call front joined b.k. chill this isn't formally a club from across the border left to move to some oculus year at the jack ice hogan association wouldn't allow them to do in the kitchen the lines haven't had the best of starts planing just that one wins out of twenty two games. one of the

probable reasons for that being that not only their opponents but the routine themselves had to get used to a new home the pope or the arena this most ice rink in the league a little just at the it's still more comfortable for us to play on big rinks like in brush or just free of all places used to the small rink we have here the others have to adapt to our home arena as soon as they do we'll hopefully start winning more with that we are not there is no lack of support here as the stadium is always packed down with fans passionately supporting their new idols have like almost sold out every game. straight for the fans they are right for. all the slovakian people at my home for the czech people down a lot of people project are probably bad. because at least the nuns and the players only use the rail bill for advice the slow expand dances in the n.h.l.

and play a couple of years for superstar in the kitchen to be much better. play like your threats against against russian team will sound like a really good power play and they have somebody going up the sun also you have to be. there to skate skate skate you don't stay in because you don't skate take hoping penalty and stuff like that other starmen in rugby rule exclude include martins through box and kept. both players knew exactly what it takes to compete at the top level. yes we have a lot of young players like experience although it does not mean we're weak team we've lost a lot of poise that we could have secured but i believe we still have what it takes to make the players take simon we have to build our club we have to get maybe a few new players you know at the level that they played before you know the cage

challenge so they can you know add a little more experience our club and help the young kids to you know adapt to this level and i think like i said if we're going patient i think we're going to see you see some good things coming on to make up for the lines maybe still far from being indomitable there is no denying hard work hunger is just the match winning why it's needed now river flooding down arkie blueprint slovakia. and i'll be back with another update in a couple of hours from now however our youtube channel at r.t. sport is is available to you and it's i'm such a hit out and bahrain i will be back shortly with. well. science technology innovation all the list
