the scent of oil. contracts. the world is now at loggerheads over how to stand in syria their. foreign minister to learn what his country believes should be done to stop. its next. guest today is his excellency shaikh. mohammed al khalifa is the minister for foreign affairs in the kingdom of bahrain is there anything you would like to say to the russian authorities about their position on the syrian issue. of the situation in syria as both difficult and dangerous not just for syrians and for all arab people everyone who wants to see peace and stability in the region and the

initiative put forward by arab nations was clear it was approved by syria the only question remaining is whether it will be implemented properly. and they were in danger unable to fulfill their mission but their reports and do indicate that the situation is extremely dire all of the material served to us by the head of the observers mission in what he reported to the arab league and it differs from what we've heard from other observers we agree with the syrian authorities that foreign military intervention would not be tolerable that we don't want to see that happen and we do not support calls for it not a single country in our region is calling for a military invasion in syria the question of a north already change in syria by whatever means is not part of a common care of an initiative we have agreed on those issues and we know that's why russia is obstructing the adoption of the resolution of syria in the un security council. many think that the situation in syria is declining in

part due to the fact that western states have not adopted the unified solid position on syria needed if the u.n. security council is to adopt a resolution in russia's case the motivation behind stopping the resolution was clear but the west is not a single minded on syria as it was on libya do you think that's true yeah. the thing is after what happened in libya any country would think twice before committing to specific measures the situation in our region is extremely volatile the region under the jurisdiction of the cooperation council remains fairly calm and safe thank god our countries are doing all they can to keep it that way the policies of other states however are not helping to bring peace or stability to their regions countries are divided into tears major or minor according to their geopolitical standing how close they are to one state or the other and their world in which interferes and so on a regime change in a minor cursory would not lead to big changes on a regional scale syria on the other hand is very important to the region and we

have to think very hard about the possible repercussions and complications we might have to deal with before we interfere in syria's affairs you know. taking into account the battle cries we hear especially from american and european media do you feel that a full scale war might break out in the region that would harm all gulf states and what that will obviously having worked in the media for a long time you understand a lot about politics and we even gauged in global politics for a long time to have the cries for battle ever stopped we hear them constantly throughout our lives they come from the west to the east and the north we can simply ignore those calls will work on our own military policy as we've been hearing war drums throughout our entire lives and we've become used to that but we must take the situation seriously it involves an atomic bomb which iran has developed because the i.a.e.a. the region his own state. the interference by various forces. political situation

is affected by what happens in iraq iran and afghanistan the peace process is constantly threatened israel is still threatening as it always has to strike out against iran and its nuclear program we are concerned by the fact that a neighboring state appears to be working on a nuclear program which could lead to a region wide disaster if an emergency account therefore we work all day every day to relieve tensions in the region and to reach a mutual understanding that we have to work on that we have to take this situation seriously the war drums you mentioned and not getting quieter and they won't stop in the near future event. could you give us more detail on the discussion about security in the region. there are direct external threats coming from countries who don't want stability and security in our region as well as internal threats coming from within the region are relations with iran are currently threatened we find them on satisfactory they are unstable and contradictory which we're not happy

about especially as representatives of the cooperation council we are beginning to fear a deterioration in our relations with iran as well they're threatened by the unstable situation in iraq which developed after the u.s. forces pulled out of the change in iraqi government policies relations between bukharin in iraq have always been good historically speaking but the statements we hear coming from iraqi politicians and regional governors. with their tradition i was referring to specific threats to the cooperation council nations there are also certain hidden threat to stability and security in the region these have to do it but arrange relations with the allies such as the usa the e.u. and russia we'd like to have a clear strategy and clear mutual understanding of problems of regional stability and security with all of our partners we're trying to make our region safe for foreign trade vessels and contribute to global economic. both if we and our allies had a clear co-operative strategy we would have no problems with security and stability

in our region we can achieve that by establishing open and transparent relations with all of our partners and that's what we're aiming for as well is the gulf countries peaceful nuclear program intended to counter iran's nuclear program or would you have developed it anyway but yes we do have such a program but we're not going to use it to stand against anything else the issue of iran's nuclear program is an international one but we live in this region and when it's discussed with iran the conversation turns political and touches upon many other issues when something concerns a particular region the opinions of those living in that region must be considered there are big and influential states in this region the cooperation council must take their opinions into account but i'd like to say that we are new less concerned about instability in the region and then with the iranian nuclear program sometimes we can't help but feel that many other issues it's not our biggest concern getting

back to the gulf country's nuclear program and i'd say yes but firstly it won't be built to oppose any other regional nuclear program whether it's iran or any other country secondly this issue is still being discussed and a specific legislative framework is being worked on with the i.a.e.a. this program will be peaceful and transparent at every stage just that it's required to be and we're working on that with total understanding of our full responsibility here. before i'm tackling the challenges to regional security addressed the issue of strengthening cooperation with russia an important international stabilizing force but we know the position of bahrain on this issue do you think your partners in the cooperation council will listen to these calls and take any specific steps to make cooperation with russia even closer than it is now. i can answer positively not only on behalf of bahrain which. cooperates with russia in many areas including going to regional security also corporates with

the us e.u. countries with china japan india and many many other states we also see a positive response from russia regarding all areas of cooperation and the benefit from it russia has always played a major role in international affairs and russia is a great power russia should be present in our region a troll is indispensable russia has put forward an initiative on security of the gulf we supported it and confirmed it in a joint. adopted during a visit by our king to moscow and signed by him and president medvedev. should have cause for all political forces in the region to develop a single approach to gulf security and. to rally. the last summit of the cooperation council for arab states of the gulf put forward a proposal to create a commonwealth have they taken any steps towards achieving this goal. at the summit itself so a number of steps on transformation of the cooperation council into a commonwealth as proposed by the king of saudi arabia

a working group has been formed and the group is to hold a number of meetings to come up with his proposals in may at the annual summit of the cooperation council and riyadh steps are being taken not only as proposals but also in terms of concrete solutions. if you remember our previous interview we discussed the initiative by the king of bahrain to set up an intern commission on human rights and a special commission to gather evidence of human rights violations has this initiative been approved if so what's been done so far. cannot we've achieved to go in the first is that a commission on gathering evidence of violations has been established the commission is studying the events of the past year and. i've submitted a report to the king which as far as i'm concerned has been broadcast live around the world now another commission is to implement the twenty four proposals listed in the report and that's been set up another thing is that a high ranking government of commission has been created to implement the tasks

imposed on the girl had all proposals concerning legislation and the digital system will be submitted to parliament but the second proposal was to create a human rights court in the arab world and that's hugely important of europe has an international court on human rights in america has a court on human rights with its headquarters in costa rica arab countries don't have such an agency only the arab charter on human rights is in place and we don't have a competent body for anyone to address his or her issues over human rights violations and this proposal has been submitted to the arab league secretary general ban will be considered at the assembly in march this year we're watching this process and continue to work on its adoption by the arab world is part of the whole wider world and in no way differs from it and we're not trying to condemn anyone but the point is that our society must move forward and for us that's crucial. but actually khaled bin ahmed al khalifa thank you very much for your time.

but i think. it is right for us that you are you. so you get to among. if you want to have sex go and have sex. from los angeles to chicago to birmingham twenty trauma centers have closed since two thousand severe problem is not enough inpatient beds not enough urgency

hello there good to have you company and here's a taste of what is coming up to the next few minutes welcome back down please crazy as far as on his long awaited return to the little side despite the goalless draw at home to spurs. plus injury blows and star midfielder danny could be out for up to six months after damaging his knee in training. and simply the best tennis star never djokovic has named the laureate sportsman to be here while long distance runner fifteen chariot gets the women's gold. but we will start with the english premier league where luis suarez returned to the lineup but he could not inspire them to victory over tottenham last night the game ending goalless at am field

suarez back after missing a total of nine games one thing is offensive gesture some for them fans and eight after being found guilty of racially abusing patrice evra but he couldn't break the deadlock afterwards though liverpool coach kenny dalglish said he was glad to have him back third will be glad to get harry redknapp back after he missed the gang that is ongoing court case over tax evasion. for to lose its when the boy thing is going to do something. with a way to get him but. we don't think it should ever be nowhere but the way to get bikes will look forward to working with the world though obviously he would give the team to organ he was unable to do that he just couldn't quite get his so but you know obviously we knew the side and we knew the way that we was going to play. a different voice given the instructions out to the players but pretty much most the loads were all of the really knows pretty much what's

expected from them so there isn't too much of a change but obviously leader and you know you you want to mirror as he wants to be . well the result leaves spurs third in the table five points of manchester united and seven from leaders manage the city while liverpool are four points off the top four spots. russian champions in it will have to deal with that midfielder danny for their champions league round of sixteen double header against benfica starting this month the twenty eight year old has picked up an injury then each training camp in italy and could be out for total of six months which also makes the playmaker down for portugal at this summer's european championships in poland and ukraine. that's why stock is carried away in our moscow have claimed their fifth win in a row with a five three victory over lowly sabir it moved in homage to within six points of lead the scar in the western conference the number were cruising in this one to start with dennis corbett of putting them in front of the fifteen minutes and that

was shortly followed by a try from constantine volkoff to make it so you know. before that god is brace many were thinking game over at this point but those that weren't almost certainly were when they scored a fourth the start of the second maxime it matter which they did go on get one back persevere and then maksim proven nor skin made it forty but the nominee needed a minute to restore their three part difference constantine got off the call hitting the net this time sabaidee a rally late on to make it five three but that is how it stayed the number extending their winning run then to five games. now another nice cyclist and the shrek looks set to be awarded the twenty ten tour de france title after alberto contador was stripped of the yellow jersey for failing a drugs test during the race schleck from luxembourg had come second but now looks set to benefit from contador conviction contador tested positive for the banned substance can do to row and had said his failed test was due to eating contaminated

meat the spaniard will also now alisa's twenty eleven zero to tell your title and will remain barred from. the sport until august after receiving a backdated two year ban the case has taken months to resolve after various the pails something cycling chiefs have criticised. is fundamental to be less time between sports justice and sports and media events it is comfortable no bird will come to our camp cycling for eighteen months he was cycling everywhere he was cycling in spain portugal italy where he won the giro he was cycling in belgium he was cycling in france he was cycling in argentina he won two stages just a few days ago the son louis two are in the future it is absolutely necessary. just like any type of justice need serenity and even though the case was extremely complex the outcome of the type of case comes. well current tour de france champion

could tell evans has defended cycling's record recent record in tackling doping contador is the second rider to be stripped of the tour de france title following forward landis in two thousand and six after he also failed a drugs test but evan says cycling is setting a good example. i think of the sport of soccer more than enough to prove itself it's doing the right thing and now it's time for other sports to look at cycling in and replicate the preparatory but starting to fight against drugs in sport can be can maybe be beaten one day across a sport what happens bespeaking on the eve of the laureus sports awards ceremony and that sort tennis world number one about york a bitch named world sport of the year while kenyan distance runner they've europe was named sports woman of the year. no mention of it. djokovic picking up the award at a ceremony in london the serve won three grand slams in twenty eleven and won forty

one matches in a row last month clinched the strain open to become only the fifth man to win three majors in a row. and on this in front of vivian cherry your daughter was named sportsman of the year the kenyan won the five thousand and ten thousand meters at last year's world championships in south korea. ambassador loman named the team of the year they won their domestic football league for a third time in a row and the champions league for a third time in six years club president sandro sell their accepting your gold. now to time running formula one champion sebastian vettel says it will be harder than ever to retain the world title this season his red bull saying have unveiled their new car the r.b.a. to these using the step no use design and they hope it will earn them a third construct this title in succession but vettel thinks any design advantage will gain over their rivals will be less than in previous years as team team

prepare for the start of the first race of the season in melbourne on march the eighteenth. you know the last two years we had two big things taken away the double the fuses plus for this year the system around the blown exhaust so you know we're missing that and therefore it's i think difficult to really create a different as we see obviously we hope that you know is better than all the others but it will be difficult and i think the cars will be fairly similar as in pick ups will be even closer than they have been. i'm finally brotherly love may prevent the klitschko heavyweight champions from boxing each other but it wasn't that wasn't an option for mixed martial arts king feed or. the russian recently came up against his brother in the tournament although the pair did find a dignified solution with more is robert down yet. the men in the special sound of feed is filled with a million guys and this is not a flashback the russian has been the greatest ambassador of the sport he came from

for years the last weekend was a real trip the last emperor of mixed martial arts came back to the competition he had won six times before the russian somewhat championships in front of a home crowd in moscow the thirty five year old was going for his seventh domestic title shirker you personally are planning to have a rest now head of a few more fights i'll have tonight if i'd like to thank my opponent it was good to get back to the met for a competitive fight and i want to thank god. for my work. and the nose and dissipated by divans was simply inevitable in the final of the heavyweight class that replace his younger brother four time russian champion and examined the men who also earn big respect in the global enemy arena some i have been looking to see a rumble.

but we're left with just a seven second class. yes many expected an exciting fight two brothers have never fought against each other before but they came out and produced an elegant finale for the competition the younger brother gave it into the elder one in a very dignified way. however they then saw no end of tough action and here is the proof.

while a heart full of courage is often the competitive edge when it comes to martial arts and let's close with a sold example of that the super lightweight final. despite being exhausted by flu and high temperature and having already won the title three times before. dinner holds on to them too if we screw with the mystic crown.
