through a security call. on the new spending plan is. budget with the elderly taking a battering hike in fuel prices. small businesses who are driving the struggling economy. serious conflict. behind the events across the border next to our interview with a lebanese foreign minister who warns of the dangers of taking sides in the conflict. this is your first visit to moscow as a foreign minister according to a joint interview with mr lavrov your deliberations have largely focused on the syrian crisis how do you assess their results at that.

meeting was primarily focused on the bilateral relations between lebanon and russia we also discussed a lot of other issues of mutual interest it is apparent that the middle east has been going through a very difficult time for we've discussed the developments in the palestinian territories the threats facing the gaza strip israel's actions in iraq our territories and especially the situation in syria russia is standing on the syrian issue convergys with that of ours in that sense it's as clear as day we are just as concerned about the issues of series security and stability as other neighboring states and the entire international community. we seek to restore stability not only in syria but the entire international community that the events in syria escalated into hostilities armed resistance against government forces from the very start armed groups fighting against the government being financed and supplied with

weapons they are destroying civilian facilities we hear calls for military intervention coming from within syria as well as internationally we see one party in a conflict acts against the other that is the opposition big supporter to fight the government here we are very much concerned and a situation in the political transformation is not to be achieved by force pilots produces more violence every country has its political opposition if every opposition movements in the world with a push for its agenda through violence the world will go up and fight aids therefore any political country should promote their agenda with peaceful democratic. reid said such as rallies that it is unacceptable to fuel violence smuggle weapons undermine government institutions and destroy sovereign nation it's never known stance has been as clear as that of our russian friends from the very start that russia opposes a foreign military intervention that it opposes the notion of supporting one conflicting and it's opposes violence as a nations promoting

a political agenda it is against resolving the issues of transformation and change of political climate by other countries for the sake of certain policies in regard to the entire middle east. and with the proposals made by mr coffey i mentioned during your joint press conference with sergey lavrov and it was announced that russia and lebanon are determined to support these proposals all the way to doubling them as a un security council resolution what is your opinion of the essence of these proposals and for why the and. the resolution hasn't been to canada but certain matters of be discussed to the world five points of mr lavrov proposal and main point certainly is a session of violence by all sides of the conflict the other points out and they were military intervention providing humanitarian aid to the neighbors searching

for neutral monetary means and providing assistance to the special u.n. envoy caveat in his reference these five points are the foundation for the joint work on taking syria out of the crisis and developing a fascination with these five settlement was very well balanced and logical who would speak against ending the violence on all sides of the conflict whereas it had been previously said that the syrian government had to stop its aggression as if it was the only one guilty of it that special envoy kofi annan is proposing also mentioned the final solution by both sides demonstrates a well balanced approach to the issue of having. to stop violence not only on the cost of the state but other sides of the conflict as well. is there an inflow of refugees from syria to lebanon and. there is a lot of reporting on this issue today that some allege there are twenty thousand thirty thousand or even forty thousand refugees it is

a dramatic airfreighted figure if the refugees come to lebanon from neighboring areas in syria where there is fighting at the moment this can happen in any country people are trying to stay alive by seeking shelter with relatives and friends who live across the border officially there are a few hundred refugees maybe some two thousand to three thousand dollars a year but these are temporary refugees wrong. once pieces are stored in syria they will return home many syrian found relatives eleven on they have invited them to stay people are also providing humanitarian aid to those that may get. the dessert is from the so-called free syrian army and water guards have reportedly arrested some of them and are planning to hand them over to the syrian authorities despite calls several international human rights organizations to refrain from such a move that. the status of those desert is essentially different from the

tip refugees who merely seeking a place to spend a few days away from hostilities looking forward to returning to their homes once peace is restored and shit armed people trying to smuggle what was entering from syria are a different story altogether illegal arms trafficking from syria forces the lebanese government to take action in order to prevent it. is an infiltrators have been arrested and will be put on trial in accordance with the lebanese norm in the way it should be guarding any country in the lebanese military and security forces are presently concentrated on the vicinity of. syrian border in order to monitor movement and prevent armed individuals from sneaking out. of syria because such traffic destabilizes not only syria but also limited. as they have the commander of the un interim force in lebanon has called the zarmina

hezbollah what do you think about this statement which. is below what we have repeatedly stated that the lebanese resistance forces are forced to bear arms due to the ongoing occupation of a part of nominees territory by israel if israel continues its forces across that territory by sea and land on a daily basis which is a constant source of danger that is why we cannot tell the freedom fighters in southern lebanon to lay down their arms while they are faced with a constant threat from israel that israel needs to stop pressuring and threatening us all the time so that we can feel that our peace security and stability are not endangered that we will still need a force capable of protecting us against such current threats that we can revisit this issue once occupation is over and lebanese territories are liberated. the u.n. security council is closely following the events in the middle east has many friends around the globe on the looting some of the councils permanent members what

would it be possible to push for a u.n. security council resolution that only has a role to end its daily flights over lebanese territory. we are against a policy of double standards when great powers back one of the parties in a spirit of this policy is a source of great suffering in the middle east in the occupied territories and there are un resolutions addressing and we do not insist that the international community should throw its weight behind us in this dispute but we demand that the international agreements and resolutions should be respected and observed how can we feel safe about our future. how can we look forward to peace and stability with israel pursuing a policy of intimidation in the occupied arab territories from southern lebanon to the golan heights to the palestinian territories the changing demographics in palestine the ongoing illegal exploitation of its territory water resources and the continuing pressure to force out the native population will never bring peace it

will only aggravate the situation all across the middle east the same is true for the golan heights way israeli settlements are being set up and the demographics are being changed israel also continues to occupy a lot of lebanese territory that we look to the united nations to implement the agreements and resolution adopted back in nineteen forty eight. demand that israel should observe and follow these resolutions and agreements that regrettably there is no power in the world that could force israel to abide by these resolutions or what we clearly see here as a double standard policy applied to almost any other vitally important issue in the middle east take the iranian nuclear issue for example that iran is a member of the international atomic energy agency being held back from acquiring its own civilian nuclear capabilities on the pretext of its alleged intentional to develop a nuclear bomb to remark that israel is not even part of the i.a.e.a. and yet it is allowed to have its own you're clear on whether what we call for

disarmament on the middle is alchemy achieved this with no super cool interest on the other party oh well i'll. well. it's not all sun and games as barcelona host the biggest tech gathering of the year in this digitized world stage connections like never before and a whole host of new services means you're living is now only a quick car right away. but don't get lost in the crowd with one russian blog that

proves all the stereotypes wrong technology update here on our t.v. . coverage. with the core war and the going away of the soviet union many people thought that nuclear weapons disappeared. the risk is not zero let something like be going off by mistake special of weapons on hair trigger alert. focus of a difference to use it as a threat all as an accurate report you know if you keep spending a trillion dollars a year on weapons of venture you're going to blow everybody up you can't you know people are dying from these weapons but until we actually see it people don't wake up to get nuclear weapons or a bill be. that represents all the firepower of the second world war this second sound is the equivalence of firepower of the world's nuclear arsenal
