this is all your headlines accusations behind the weekend of syria flying between rebels and the government with damascus claiming saudi arabia. traces of their involvement at the crime scene. post revolution in the old ways still dominate in egypt critics are accusing the islamists. the constitutional assembly to approx. u.s. police received death threats crackdown on the occupy protesters in the six month

anniversary of the movement with peaceful demonstrators. russia and china have stood side by side with the syrian crisis saying the conflict should only be resolved through diplomatic means the next. from the chinese academy of social sciences and to find out more on why the two world powers stand so closely together . thank. you. professor head senior research fellow in studio west asian african studies and chinese academy of social sciences it's great to have you with us here in moscow my pleasure so skeptics say that russia and china unanimously resist military solution to the syria conflict because they have significant economic interests. hotaru so

what do you say to that took about money you are well i don't think it's just the about the money actually company or is there russia's economic interests in syria china's economic interests in syria it's not too much it's not about the money issue actually is the issue about principle how to refer and especially the international relations principle because always trying as a policy diplomatic parisi i think about same as the russian's foreign policy as we are by the way we should fully respect the sovereignty of our country and also we fully against the use of force trying to do any region change thought towards another country so any regime change older you know a change of administration should be undertaken by the people in that country by the people themself i think that's the principles that are we are now defending it's a great principle and that has to be defended but for aggression rather than principle

and maybe anomic interests it's also an issue of geopolitics what about china other than the principle is or anything else why you are against a military solution if we talk about the geopolitical. importance of this not only syria. even thought that you are wrong the whole middle east as well because in terms of the oil resources i think everybody knows that china has really depend on the oil or import from the whole of the middle east and also of course being our western region for example their shin there we go autonomous region we're also facing we've called history exuma is forces there like a separate person protists and also some extremists so those forces they are also included big sarratt to us the ability in china as a whole so we don't want to see. how you powerful. maybe the they would like to

penetrated to our western area that's something we don't want to see all of those. extremist forces spreading or were towards our brother as you mentioned al qaeda i know that it calls on muslims to support the rebellion against syrian president assad how do you think why has the initial fight for democracy turned into a terrorist calling i think the factors behind this are quite quite complicated i don't think this is an army that the message actually given the sectors in amman the muslim actually eventually because outside forces has been has been penetrated nowadays the so-called the freedom army of the syria now it's not longer the pure syrian people resume the freedom army. the of the have called their base the

in turkey and i think even after you have our forces. also you've watched in the libyan army so that this information actually has been released by the cia from the united states and then later on has evolved some other resources so now all those fighting groups i think the background now becoming complicated much much more complicated than before you just touched upon the two segments of the syrian opposition the free syrian army and the turkey based national council also there are people there are industries are fighting for the better life this three pieces of the syrian opposition how cohesive r.t. rather how they are not so coherent because. we all know the syria freedom army the bases in turkey they're outside of syria and then we see in the syria there is another one called the cole or the nation group there's another called the national council so there are basically the us three major opposition groups but the old.

sort of the they are not united together so the these organizations and also those in fighting are the two major features a mom those. groups are also up people inside syria how willing are the to listen to the opposition outside syria to the external i say they don't listen to those orders or so years of thaw the record a lack of this so called the syria for instance conference friends of syria coordination. group based in syria i.e. in the country then they refused to join but friends of syria conference so we are quite clear that means. groups at home they don't want to listen to lessen any orders coming from lack of freedom army of syria is the king of turkey or any others so they are fighting for their rice separately independently what about the free syrian army firing inside syria are they and the people who came out in the

streets who were asking for a better life fighting for the same thing on the surface they are fighting for the same same rights not as same goal but it's the same for them that is to. regain that's the share that come and vote for all of those even the opposition groups by the way don't know other details for example like the national council of the syria they haven't put for war the charters for other more practical roadmap whatever national council i mean based in turkey based in turkey same thing also for that coordination council basically in syria so i think i might of they have put forward what kind of syria they are going to do it in the future what about turkey is it playing a constructive role in europe a name posting forces that are eager to topple assad well our tokyo bureau i think also is quite complicated that first of all they host. searching. group freedom

army of syria so they serve that as i have color fought for them and they're going to hold the second the friends of syria meeting very soon early of a poll and also i think that turkey also has the country now leading the way you can call for like some military support for those opposition party of course they're also impose the sanction to the pressure of government so all of that that just to add those support for to pull one partner in the between them that's the thing so obviously it's not so constructive for reaching the by iraq between those two fighting parties from the west it is pushing for a humanitarian intervention in syria and of course one wonders really a pressing need for that or could that be a cover up for in military intervention like in libya i think

a great extent all of those measures so far has taken a rest and current phase. seems at least to a kind of like you mentioned a cover for the future military intervention even though on surveys now we have heard quite a lot even from the white house from the united states or from european continents they're saying now that we need to into a regime is not a. belief when president obama says there will be no milter i action against our sol is hardly to be to believe that because the only respect to the lead be a war at the very beginning we heard the same in the seeing coming from lighthouses coming from the nato they're saying military intervention is not the option and the later we have are saying very clearly eventually the military into regime that's the or a tentative left victims in syria are reported to be around seven. thousand five

hundred people and both sides position and the government claim each other for tweaking the numbers who are you more inclined to believe the new number coming out saying it is eight thousand so that number rising very rapidly so it makes. cannot be just a believe brandon we know the number now has been given by the un but what kind of resources they you can get the slumbers and then which they say the battle to the london there's another you your pay based account a group called to whom arise observation group for the syria so by people of collecting those numbers and then the longer this group contract is coming from those rebel forces so they send those numbers you pay based on humorous observation in a group and then they screw ups and this lumber for the us is that a fair number yeah i saw it. back

a whole there's some resources changing so i think this is just the one way of saying and furthermore syrian government also paid for lumbers they are saying even though you for your call it is a seven thousand casualties but they are seeing at the least the wrong serve of the . other serious those security forces they had to being killed as well by those of the groups so now i think the real picture is still not so quick to clear amidst this fighting new syrian constitution was supported by ninety percent of the population and this new constitution aiming to smooth things out can these results really be trusted ninety percent of the population supporting the new constitution well the rest the media are. highly doubt about these high supporting rate even when there are some where the high support here is there already about that

election here in russia so. i think no matter it's true or not at least the fact that it isn't legit already the people if they have cause to the battle and i think it should be either the fact also. has a vision team from i think from a few from the civil civil societies they have also witnessed all those of all team process so i tend to believe even those of you read extremely high that tend to believe the like the seventy present should be. a majority should be. bad should be the fact do you think our star will remain in power and if he does what will his regime involve into i think so far the situation is tense to be favoring they were before their assad regime so if it's a situation both like that away there is no possibility for any like the warranty

us to have done of this. regime but of course i also note it's like the us press and alabama where he has joined a conference the. british prime minister the common on and he used these wars saying and now it's not a matter of if i share a region where i step down it's not a matter is a question of if it's just a question of when so which shows now you're not if this is the current to get the question or. are face so bad because he is. on the ground i think best to deter me nation factor for how wrong this regime will be there is not any outside forces make final say thank you very much for this interview professor here my pleasure here.

a clean sweep of medals after losing to china in the same events russia had won the men's and women's individual events on saturday and came within a points of claiming the team medal as well but it was the chinese who developed the decisive blow squeezing to victory forty five points to forty four they claim silver and it seems they were events of the last olympics and are pleased with their performance ahead of the love and games this summer. i'm very happy and excited the first time we want to tournament in two years so it's a good group and i really enjoy the competition hopefully we can force and even present performance in london for the city set in golf england's dolls as the world number one a get his playoff victory at the transitions championship in florida enough to oust rory mcilroy from the sub spots jim furyk was the joints overnight leader and finished tied for the lead a guess at the end of his final round with three others on third downs are they
