the civil war now more than three thousand people are reported to have died in the anti-government protests that started now some eight months ago so we spoke to the country's deputy foreign minister about the ongoing crisis. facts about mc 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 a protest 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 the criminals 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 demo stations 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 is they still keep taking place and 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 woodinville 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 sell if it's drug traffickers. smugglers they have been provided with up to date technology of communication. by the well known 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 here 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 your government is actually maintaining talent 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 gadhafi. he 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 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. it seems to me it was used in and negative way but. the government did not impose

any restrictions on the and the instructions of president as that on the use of social media i also that the conflict between the ruling 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 men are objective 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 we 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 i think it's not touching syria are 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 human rights protecting the needy and people i think

even if he lives hundred years more he will not kill a small number of the people nato has killed more than fifty thousand people killed by. i think those who committed these crimes should go to international courts when they need to implement that was a. 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 russia 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

. it has become very clear the issue of libya is an issue of all. those countries are rushing now to divide the. gains of the war among themselves to excellence it 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 sunnis 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 then the commit

a big mistake for turkey and for the position of terror in the entire region who told them they are i mean the cust told years of sudanese and the entire world nobody has the right to interfere and the what of our so pretext including turkey if they want to interfere under this guys 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 to receiving aid from saudi arabia and jordan why would this countries want cast in the region here you have touched up on a very sensitive issue 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 to us but we believe money is coming from these

comes from a number of fish i'm sick it's 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 consider 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 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 the way out the we are very forms present that assad has put on the table a comprehensive plan. but he forms so the whole process is

after a well placed second shot and taking one stroke lead into the second round well after a slow start woods got going on the back nine placing his second shot within birdie range on the part for tenth and fourteen time major winner ended the day with a share of eight spot after carding his first bogey free round of nine months sinking four birdies for an opening round of sixty eight but it was john daly who made the headlines for all the wrong reasons the forty five year old american made an embarrassing exit walking off the course midway through the first round the tears i major winner quit after hitting six balls into the water from the eleventh day and on his way out of date his girlfriend and i come back is took a swipe at a photographer. finally to the ice where we continue our profile of clubs from europe strongest hockey league the k h l where this season has been a baptism of fire so far for slovakia new boys left pop out but as robert father now reports the lions are as fired up as their team song.

show me such. can be said to me ac looks like they're a club anthem the pride of sloth is hockey are lucky in and rolling with the best in europe strongest leads the teams which are based in a small city of call for a joint b.k. gel this isn't formally a club from across the border left to move to slim oculus year to check on his whole game association wouldn't allow them to do in the kitchen on the lines haven't had the best of starts claiming just that one wins out of twenty two games . one of the probable reasons for that being that not only their opponents but the

ruki team themselves have had to get used to a new home depot for the arena on this most ice rink in the league a little just don't but it's still more comfortable for us to play own big rinks like in russia 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 hopefully start winning more with that weekend or not there is no lack of support here as the stadium is always packed out with fans passionately supporting their new idols have like almost sold out every game and. straight for the fans they are right for. all the slovakian people at my problem for the czech people down by a lot of people from czech republic and. they come and say i am love these the nazis the players only see a little for advice the slow expand chances in the n.h.l. and play a couple of beers or similar stuff in the kitchen you have to be much better life

played like a thief that is. against going to washington was definitely going to get bob play and may have somebody but i saw some we have to be so we have to skate skate skating we don't stand because you don't skate you take cocaine penalty and satellite that other starmen in rugby muhlach squad include martin starbuck and kept. both players knew exactly what it takes to compete at the top level and the worst of all 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 points that we could have secured but i believe we still have what it takes to meet the players to take simon and we have to build our club we have to get maybe a few couple 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 to be patient i think we're going to see you see some good things coming out of the pool for the blinds maybe still far from being done with the ball there is no denying our board hundred just the match winning by that's needed now robert ford in their own marquee blueprint it's no walk in. and that's all this post bison.
