leader turned into a bloody civil war more than three thousand people are reported to have died in the anti-government protests that now started eight months ago so we spoke to the country's deputy foreign minister about the ongoing crisis. facts about nick that syria's deputy foreign minister thank you very much for being with us today sir happy to be with you now according to human u.n. human rights reports over three thousand people have been killed in syria ever since the protests started in march for how long we'll see wreckage from losing its 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 number

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 the secret to fix do you think i mean 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 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 come up violate the law if the most asians were not there so these are the cases however we believe the killing of a single pierce is too much he believes that life of one person is already crucial and this question if they still keep taking place could just say that syria is at a state of the civil war no. i mean those who are provoking these developments want 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 the religious extremists sell if it's drug traffickers and smugglers they have been provided with up to date technology 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 the into the country from terre kitty from lebanon 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 recognized 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 government is actually maintaining tallow with the opposition actually filled some of their demands as well but. you cannot just disregard that 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 museum would be put down no one ever saw an alley would be ousted. no one ever thought anyone could touch gaddafi you cannot just think that syria is a completely 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 recognize mistakes

and we recognize the fact that the reform process. did not start. as it was expected to start these are realities we have to. accept what we do not expect is the fact that things develop 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 also mean played a big role we have confiscated i mean in the cars of many diplomatic missions in syria a lot of these i mean mobilize and so on yes the social media was used and it seems to me it was used in negative way but. the government did not impose any

restrictions on the and the instructions of president i said on the use of social media i also got the conflict between the ruling it's and the sunni majority has lingered on for decades do you think that make lect has in some way contributed to the uprisings in 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 president 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 meant objectivity 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 their interest and serving the major interests of israel can you talk a little bit about nato because you know how nato is very cynical when it comes to the choice of interfering in one country or another why do you think it's not touching syria or not touching. 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 it. we think they cannot because the entire region is against this in libya when they

are to interfere under the pretext of a human rights protecting the needy and people i think even if gadhafi lives hundred years more he will not kill a small number of the people nato has killed more than fifty thousand people killed by a net. i think those who committed these crimes should go to international call courts when they need to implement that was aleutian nineteen seventy three the way they did it in a criminal way russia said no china said no the majority of security council members said no pressure is only working in the interests of syria we believe russia is working also in the interests of world peace and security and 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 it everywhere in the world and it has become very clear the issue of libya is an issue of all. those companies are rushing no to divide the. gains of the war among themselves here excellency from what it seems from the outside also. the events are taking place in your country are affected by outside players for instance turkey turkey wants to be a leading power in for the sudanese in the region and we know that sunnis form the core of the opposition in syria also we know that turkey provides support for the oppositional syrian national council i was seeing double standards here can turkey use this whole thing to its advantage i'm taking your question i'm not taking very well it if the turkish government would pursue its policies in the imperial way

according to the autumn months systems when the commit a big mistake for turkey for the position of therapy in the entire region who told them they are i mean the cuss told years of sudanese and the entire world nobody has the right to interfere and that whatever so pretext including turkey if they want to interfere and disguise because this is a big mistake it's not just turkey the syrian t.v. has aired an interview with a captured terrorists who admitted to receiving aid from saudi arabia and jordan why would this countries want cows in the region here you have touch of the very sensitive issue the financing of terrorism. until now at least we don't say officially that i mean the saudi government or the jordanian government or the lebanese government toward the government are financing vece groups interest of course but we believe money is coming from these comes

from an unofficial sic us. appeal to our brothers and sisters in all these countries is not to allow that because end of the united nations this is called financing of terrorism they are sending money to concede and i believe this should be stopped since the clashes are still taking place and the protests are still going on what do you percy 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 they 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 the we are very forms 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 emerge thank you very much your excellency they sent you thank you. good team has been to the region where technological breakthroughs save human lives . on she goes to the sea. ways to protect nature. where farming pioneers place local

wasn't fretting too much. physically if you want to do something it's easy enough to get fit. and be you know in shape to be able to do it i think you know then post that and being able to 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 a price was also you know kind of the emotional attachment that you had sort of what you used to do so you know all of those things combined. and finally to the ice where we continue our profile on clubs strong is talking k h l it's been a baptism of fire for new boys left paul proud so far but thought on your reports the slovaks side are as fired up as the team song. should be subtle yet i must.

say. lead a c. learn like they're a club anthem the pride of slow guys hockey all rocking and rolling with the best in europe strongest leads the team which are based in the small city of call for a joint pick a job this isn't formally club from across the border left to move to slovakia last year as a check on this whole game so see she wouldn't allow them to do in the kitchen and the lines haven't had the best of starts claiming just they want to wins twenty two games. one of the probable reasons for that being that not only their opponents but the routine themselves has had to get used to a new home depot for the arena the smallest ice rink in the league to do just that over is still more comfortable for us to play on big rinks like in brushing just three of our players used to the small rink we have here the others have to adapt

to our home arena as soon as they do we'll hope. stop winning goal it's a win or not there is no lack of support here as the stadium is always packed down with fans passionately supporting their new idols we have like almost sold out every game. and straight for the fans you know great for. all the slovakian people and from for the czech people down because not a lot of people from czech republic and. they coming to see them love these live nazis a player always available for advice the slow expand chances in vienna children and play a couple fears for superstar in the kitchen you have to be much better life played played with your friends against against russian dolls that like little bit about play and they have somebody that i saw so we have to be seen we have to skate state skate if they don't stay in because they don't skate to take cocaine penalty and

stuff like that other starmen in rajamouli excuse include martin easter box and kept. both players knew exactly what it takes to compete at the top level although worst of all yes we have a lot of young players like experience although it does not mean we're a weak team we've lost a lot of points that we could have secured but i believe we still have what it takes to make the players take simon and 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 or club and help the young kids to you know adapt to this level and i think like i said if are going to be patient i think we're going to see see some good things coming out of the pool for the lines maybe still far from being indomitable there is no denying however down hunger is just the match winning

why it's needed now robert ford in their own party blueprint slovakia. and that's all the sports news for now i'll be back with another update in a couple of us please join me again. world's. money and technology innovation all the rest of elements from around russia we've got the future covered. more news today is once again flared up. and these are the images of world has been seeing from the streets of canada. china operation to rule the day.
