twenty four seven from central moscow this is our top stories the russian prime minister defending people's right to protest legally in pledges video surveillance to ensure a presidential. will for the people in his annual public q. and a. syrian activists say twenty seven state security officers have died at the hands of army defectors as human rights watch dozens of government officials call them attempts to put foreign criticism of the countries drawing parallels now with the pressure put on libya before the nato bombing campaign then began. a moscow

says only the eurozone could solve its own problems but it will try to help deal with the blocs debt crisis russia and the e.u. also pledged closer energy and economic cooperation as president medvedev meets top technocrats in brussels. amid this year's turbulence in the arab world algeria has remained relatively quiet but recent decades of still being tough on the country and its neighbors ruptures are a big concern too is the algerian foreign minister explains to us next. minister the arab countries have been swept by what has been called the arab spring what is european or russia's position in relation to dance in syria in the arab world as a whole. our opinion is based on mutual trust between our two countries on

common vision concerning events in the world and on mutual respect for the principles of each of the sides first of all i'm talking about the principles of non interference in the internal affairs of third countries the principle of long term cooperation and the right of states to change the order within their own territories but not within the territory of other countries i believe russia's stance is serious and well thought out it's identical to the stance taken by algeria we're proud to share similar views but especially in relation to the arab spring. some experts see that old jiri didn't welcome the arab revolutions that it's taking ever since you know which is closer to dead of other arab regimes . algeria didn't welcome those revolutions but it went beyond the borders of the countries where they began we didn't export the algerian revolution and we don't seek to spread the principles of the algerian revolution where over to other nations it's an issue that depends on the will of the people and we respect that if

the people aspire to change their own government or change their own countries order we'll take that desire seriously this is our stance for example towards tunisia and then god willing to watch libya. both russia and algeria are concerned over the or moments that have gone missing in libya it's feared they could end up in the hands of terrorist groups is there any kind of card peroration in which we rush in algeria on this. this is a very serious issue which of course has been a concern for algeria but primarily this must be a concern. for libya and for the new libyan government very aware of the threat and that applied much effort to avoid them however this is not only a libyan issue anymore it's spread beyond libya and now threatens the whole region countries that have access to the sea should be on high alert their security and stability can be ensured through negotiations and regular contact between algeria and libya and between algeria and other parties russia as the other party is

interested in the issues resolution and has the opportunity and the tools to address the challenges in this region actually this is something we really need we're trying to take control of channels for weapons trafficking and are currently developing new means of doing this. you know that get out his regime has been toppled what will relations be like between algeria and libya. today our bilateral relations are almost being normalized we'll cooperate with the libyan people in all areas especially where we've had a positive experience for example in national reconciliation we're proud of the efforts taken by our libyan brothers to reach national reconciliation and we're proud that they regard it as a priority issue. earlier you said that the people have a right to change the order in their country to change the existing regime and you are well aware that these changes have been brought about by islamist movements in america and even in

a libya where this movement is around them if you. think of the rise in strengthening of islam is movements in north africa. islam is parties and movements were in opposition to the regimes that existed in neighboring countries and have now been toppled as the fall of the regimes allowed these parties and movements to enter the political arena it's a new phenomenon and we welcome it because it reflects a strengthening of democracy it shows that all political forces who aspire to build a new future are prepared to take up that responsibility however when taking these new steps the parties in movements new. need to stick to the rules of the game and show respect for them if they abide by the rules then they are as eligible as anybody else ultimately the people cast their votes for those who believe they will make them happy. in a recent events or result in iraq mon between morocco and algeria in the light of all cheery a welcoming these alarmists victory in the recent elections. algeria

did congratulate the new government on its victory the government is indeed islamic but congratulations were sent to the new government our relations with the rocker of the cornerstone for our geopolitical strategy there was a period when our relations suffered a slight decline but about a year ago we signed an agreement on the development of our bilateral relations i'm sure this will prove fruitful not only in terms of politics but in other areas that are important for the people to. a new stage following the so-called arab spring which ultimately helped us extend our cooperation with arab nations does this mean the moroccan algerian border will be opened in the near future. all the issues in our fraternal relations with the people of morocco have been resolved after a certain period of time and under appropriate conditions we will implement this decision in accordance with the wishes of those nations that have been living side by side and as a cheery is a part of a ministerial taskforce on libya working on resolving the syrian crisis the

immediate use seeing the arab initiative to resolve the syrian crisis that it must be given the maximum chance do you think the arab league was too weak to act at times now giving damascus a chance to meet the demands of other arab countries. and as a member of this task force i can tell you that all of its members and all member states of the arab league are eager to see syria cooperate this doesn't mean there needs to be outside interference because syria is an arab country a member of the air. so we don't see that the league acted as an outside force towards syria that opinion is shared by all the arab nations but there are concerns as well we see human rights violations in syria and if the authorities that bear full responsibility for those violations such negligence is unacceptable this is not the position of just one state and we all agree here that we cannot accept what's happening in syria and. in that last week you matt with the comedian foreign

affairs of the french national assembly you spoke about political and economic reforms in algeria but many old cheeriness say that this is an internal matter and there was no reason to report to france what do you say to that. france is a major partner there are many algerians living in france we protect their rights and keep in touch with them through official government channels in france three days before the trip we met with the members of our high council of state where we discussed all of these issues so our priority was algeria and only after that we went abroad and our first stop was paris and then we went to moscow now. we all know that there was a period of stagnation in relations between old here in france you know we see that now here in paris are coming closer together due to recent advances in a mutual interest. yes we can say that but at the same time we hope that

france recognizes the past there have been positive changes in the positions of some french officials in algeria and abroad in recent years but algerians are waiting for some concessions on the part of france algerians are very patient people have their spring member in the past while addressing the foreign affairs committee of the french parliament you said something that's heard politicians in the media as you said there. is the most westernized country three developed in a different way we would be a fool who are members. the european union because when the treaty of rome was signed were french colonies. considered that this statement meant a recognition i will cheering dependence on france of the many criticized it and said how can the old hearing foreign ministers see such things now you have a chance to have your say. about the fact that algerians can voice their

opinion testifies to the freedom of speech in our country and that's wonderful but on the other hand the algerian minister has the right to speak on behalf of us no matter where they are saying that and remembering the past is very important we must remember that at the same time we should always proceed at the point of algerian interests giving it as broad an interpretation as possible and speaking the french language already means remembering the past but we speak french in the algerian interest it's also the case when we discuss other issues for instance our relations with the european union that's definitely the case both algeria and france should be doing everything possible to clear the environment for our relations we were a french colony for more than one hundred thirty years we've lived under a very cruel regime and the algerian revolution began as a general political social and ideological uprising and up to now this revolution remains a foundation and a source of respect for algerians that belong to our generation and generations

that followed if the algerian experience is useful for some arab african and other countries then we'll very happy about it. and here's the last issue i would like to discuss with you today. now member of the arab margaret union many old syrians as well as other arabs and wonder what is the role of the arab margaret union in the events in libya tunisia and in the neighboring arab and mediterranean countries . and that's the hope of all the people of the magreb both the people. in their governments however the changes we've seen are on satisfactory one of the causes of that partially it may be down to poor condition between political and economic activities for example algeria had a centralised economy for twenty years the state monopolized economy and industrial production while a neighboring morocco was open and liberal maybe that's why everything was well coordinated in harmonious there the same concerns our relations with. as for the

political regime we know that they were different at that time but we have seen changes including recent ones the arab spring. started coming closer together united by the idea of a republican government we hope that that repression in economic systems will stimulate development and constant forward movement that's what we've all been dreaming about the dream has become a necessity and we can't live without it it's a treasure based on our ideological linguistic and economic similarities we can't ignore those enormous assets which are not being used properly even for the sake of cooperation with other countries specifically the e.u. .

barcelona in spain striker david very set for a long absence after breaking his leg in passes for no victory over qatari side our side in the semifinals of the club world cup in japan other iana had put the european champions one nil up after twenty five minutes after confusion between the goalkeeper and his defender. there five minutes before half time search it'll be appear to land awkwardly was employed on the stretcher as they took the crank to the left to be joined by so from balance there for almost fifty three million dollars last year to spain's all time leading scorer with fifty goals in eighty one games is now a doubtful euro twenty twelve and spain will try to defend their title. well basso went on to complete the four no victory at three and i netted again shortly after beers exit. and say do cater maybe three no just after an hour.

and much and made the cattle on the sidewalk faced brazilian side something else as . if they aim to change their second preference three world cup finals. i mean. a tough time we all knew the latest about to be a natural it everybody was disappointed we all love david man he's got a great personality it seems well worried about him but this is something that can happen to any one of us so we're going to have to play the final with our team we still need to win and become the world's best team. well copper leave with authorities when a sun sets went through to sunday show this event following a three one win over local town especially what i saw nineteen year old strike in a more opened after ninety minutes showing some nifty footwork to make it one nil however the boy gets a relative veteran x. thirty one almost eclipsed the teenager's effort with a beauty of his own just five minutes later well covered his sack i gave the

parties and home crowd a reason to celebrate soon after the interval two one with his head was not enough and you know there was a silver who's moving to porto next year sealed the samples with yet another cracker in midfield occurring in a quasi free kick just after the hour. vs that is going to session doesn't amount to result and we'll need to do an even better job in the final boss alone other one team who are really good at possession i don't think any other team can beat them in this aspect but what's important is that we made our chances count today. it's a ball and chelsea manager and regulation ourselves dispelled rumors that under pressure strike a philanderer torres might be for sale the portuguese coach said the twenty seven year old is not available at any price during the january transfer window taurus sets the blues back a reported seventy five million dollars last year but has failed to impress since however fellow striker the eyedropper looks more likely to leave the thirty three

year old i've already in has been linked with a russian big spenders and she and chinese side shanghai should well you've already agreed the transfer chances and despite this bar speaks of drug including thames. pretty much a move with with chelsea as we've seen in the recent performances so his mind said it's for competing with his colleagues. who was this close so that there is the most gratifying thing you can get is there is a commitment from the players that with the specific situation that it is a player at the minute in contract. is professionalism is not in question. i saw him now and a new look russian team have beaten world champions finland three nil here in moscow to make a blistering starts to their campaign at the home leg of the four nation euro hockey tour well several new faces are on the russian roster that the channel one cup it was double world champion really cool and who opened for the hosts in the first period and they added two more in the third is to take the provisional lead

in the standings while in thursday's other game sweden have come from behind to leave the czech republic to one. staying on the ice and while russia is a first team the red machine made a successful starts to their china one cup campaign here in moscow the next generation of players the under twenty one red stars are getting ready to start a promotional tour of north america of constantine but i reports. they have h l is the younger brother of the cage the kontinental hockey league which is the biggest ties hockey division off to the north american n.h.l. the junior league is picking up steam in the its third year with now thirty two teams in the standings and permanently expanding the red stars are the a.m.a. shelves all star team and when they toured the u.s. and canada last year they lost only once in five minutes while least time there will be taking on eight of bone and meanwhile these here they may tell decided to stablish one more team consisting of under eighteen players the red star juniors

cool travel to denmark for two friendless the us the red star genius is our contribution to russia's junior national team coaches will get a chance to see the players in action once again so they'll be able to make the right choice for the world championships in april hopefully it will be a positive experience and will keep the all star team idea going there red stars tour last year was a great success and then dissipation this time will be the same as some of the has already sold out the team arrived in new york on thursday and are preparing for their first encounter against the university of north dakota where the park will drop on december the seventeenth. the m.h.s. development is tremendous and we want to demonstrate the level of our league our young players want for nothing in ninety nine to two our junior to use for disastrous but nowhere man the powerhouse again the tour is a great opportunity for growth as the players will gain invariable experience in

the usa. the tour is not only about promoting name h.l. the players will develop from competing in international matches and several plan and coaches alike sure some of these players will be on the road at the next winter olympics in sochi in twenty fourteen complain about out of her team. boxing champion without a hitch go has rated his chances at fifty fifty as the ukrainian heavyweight prepares to fight britain derek just sora like this will be his last fight but it held a joint media conference in the german city of munich where they will slug it out retaliates w.b.c. belt on february the eighteenth at forty to go is thirteen years older than his british opponent but boasts a formidable record of forty knockout wins out of forty three overall and just two defeats while just or has lost two of his three fights this year and though he was a little wary of the outcome dr iron fist was in a good enough mood to crack

a few jokes by as doctor i promise you not to send to the hospital i don't want to i don't want to do that but we were beautified. you tell me. a lot alike hinting it was was a jab. then took you up with my right him. and finally this year alone the russian olympic committee has invested more than twelve million dollars into the national sport federations of the country hopes to win big and their first ever winter games in sochi in twenty fourteen according to the officials the ultimate goal for russia is to finish first in terms of gold medals at the black sea resort canada provides a shining example and a tough act to follow after the north american nation prevailed at their home olympics last year those vancouver games also witnessed the sharp decline of perennial powerhouse russia who could manage only eleventh in the overall table but steps are being taken to avoid a similar result. we've invested around twelve million dollars in the very spot for

the ration so far this money was allocated first of all to finance in foreign specialists cut of the edge technology and scientific research and will keep up our support in the future so that our thoughts have access to top level trainers and equipment but the most important thing for us is not just to invest money but to get a result in the end. of us all is what this thursday i think. he
