hello there it's the hour here in moscow with the headlines revolution returns to egypt as hundreds of thousands rally into. the efforts to deepen the political and religious divisions and warning of more trouble ahead. some of the races leading rusher in china in the driving seat gather to thrash out security as accounts about to the political grandstanding of the west. america's defense chief is up to india's leadership as a string of bad luck pleasing us all bases had it's really true moved into the asia pacific. and syria allows humanitarian aid workers into the country for the first

time with an escalation of violence and expulsion of foreign diplomats. as well as physical body in syria has been fighting a so-called information war with conflicting reports about the situation that syria's minister of information. tells r.t. what he feels is really going on. then there's the arab league council has asked satellite operators are upside. down the broadcast of syrian satellite channels what do you think about this decision. this decision is an attack on free media and freedom of expression it's an attack on syrian media the purpose is to hide the truth about what is really going on in syria from people both inside and outside the country this is part of the smear

campaign launched by certain satellite channels and supported by the gulf nations behind it the decision contradicts fundamental moral and professional standards for mass media in the arab world and globally it contradicts the rules and regulations for satellite broadcasting as agreed by the council of the arab ministers of information and this decision was made by foreign ministers which means it was politically motivated it's part of the anti syrian political agenda we all understand that these plans are being implemented on political and economic level the main purpose of this decision is to silence syrian channels cover the role of some of these countries providing support to terrorists in syria helping them financially and smuggling weapons into the country and they're also afraid of syria channels disclosing the truth about terrorist connections of some media outlets financed and supported by these outside players we have had

a situation where terrorists acted as correspondents to foreign media that would be very people are sponsible that film their crimes and sent a furtive to the media blaming my government for the atrocities of the syrian people and the ministry of information condemning this decision ministry considers it as its responsibility to provide satellite broadcasting the serious. satellite channels. how will the government organize satellite broadcasting for syrian satellite channels do you plan to work together with our upside and outside since you have contracts with them. nor. considering the current situation of you and hysteria around syria we anticipated that a decision of this sort it would be made especially after the us in europe impose sanctions on syria media outlets and also the us and canada took technical measures to stop syrian t.v. channels and radio stations from broadcasting in north america so we are prepared

to help syrian satellite channels continue broadcasting through different satellites in the same orbit slightly used by arab sat them. but we have the capability as for the absolute now sat satellites you know that arab sat is controlled by the council of arab ministers of information and that the head of the council is a sound but saudi arabia was one of the gulf nations the suggested slapping syria with sanctions if arab sat complies with this decision that this will constitute a violation of satellite broadcasting regulations and this would be a politically motivated step organized by external forces that are attacking syria and the syrian media as for mass that it's a joint stock company some of the stock that belongs to the egyptian government some of the private investors and that's why we insist that not such should not

comply with this decision should on its legal and contractual obligations to the syrian ministry of information which means continuing the satellite broadcast in our channels. i want to assure all of our viewers in syria and abroad that syrian satellite channels will continue broadcasting without any destruction. there is no need to get new antennas. program your equipment today daily satellite broadcast live syria a sixteen hours many specialized information channels have not reached this level yet. the arab states and other countries as you say are waging an information war against syria does the syrian government media still provide balanced and unbiased coverage do they provide an accurate picture of the situation in syria especially considering that they were not prepared for this information war. and the first of all it should be said that everything about the mass

media is in fact down to the audience if we take polls around inside and outside syria we shall see that the audience of the syrian satellite channels has grown and so has the number of viewers who perceive these channels as the source to turn to a live news coverage. syrian satellite channels provide live coverage sixteen hours a day and this includes both the official channels and the specialist and private. thus we can say that the official syrian media has taken the lead in the coverage of the barack i will syria has been forced into building and exposing the plans to undermine the strength of spirits by the syrian people i'm deeply convinced that the recent sanctions against our mass media came as a response to its increased impact had there been no such impact of the need to introduce sanctions against on mass media the american and european sanctions of of followed by those experienced by some gulf states at the recent arab league meeting

only confirms that the influence of the syrian media has grown because of all that we will have to develop our informational policy and improve the structure of the syrian media. the arab league sees to shut down some of the syrian channels but the annan plan actually calls for as many channels as possible to cover. and syria. of course it's very strange we ask oceana and the un security council who will protect freedom of speech with democratic principles and liberties how can you shut it down syrian national media when the annan plan calls for free accreditation for foreign media coming to syria to cover the situation here and we have one hundred eighty media outlets from all over the world represented in syria and over one hundred accredited foreign reporters permanently working travelling freely across

the country to cover the event that we think how can you shut down syrian satellite channels and at the same time allow for new services operate freely this will result in biased coverage of all this is part of the information more ways to get syria we know that eighty percent of the satellite channels dedicate thirty minutes of their news hour to syria today and a recent study shows that ninety percent of satellite coverage of syria has nothing to do with the actual situation in because. it's all lies and fabrications and what about this again that there's a real information war waged against syria with real facts being substituted by fabrications these lies and the only way for them to achieve their objectives in their war against syria that the head of the houla massacre is a good example of that as soon as the first pictures of the massacre were released everybody started accusing the syrian army and security forces but we all know who

was really behind us trying. to tease used against the syrian people as well as the sanctions introduced against the syrian government media that have revealed the true nature of those waging a war against syria that today the people of syria a targeted by terrorists armed sky. my regional powers like a top that saudi arabia and turkey. as well as by western nations such as the us my the how those who often talk about fighting terrorism joined their forces today to support terrorists attacking syria have been. going to tank you very much for being with us today mr i don't much want syrian minister of information.

there hasn't been anything yet on t.v. . it is to get the maximum political impact. the full source material is what helps keep journalism honest we. we want to present. something else. that. i think. that in the end of that speech.

a darn about anything tim's mission to teach music creation why it should care about humans and worry this is why you should care only on the dot com. with the end of the war and the going away of the soviet union many people thought that nuclear weapons disappeared. the risk is not zeroed out something might be going off by mistake especially of nuclear weapons on hair trigger alert. focus of the victims to use it as a threat all as an actual weapon you know if you keep spending a trillion dollars a year on weapons of venture you're going to blow everybody up you know people are dying from these weapons but until we actually see it people don't wake up to nuclear weapons or a bill. that represents all of the firepower of the second world war and this second sound is the equivalent firepower of the world's nuclear arsenal
