it's for mass media in the arab world and globally it contradicts the rules and regulations for satellite broadcasting as agreed by the council of 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 mayor purpose of this decision is to silence syrian channels can uncover 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 all surf rate of syrian 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 for foreign media that would be very people are sponsible for that film their crimes and sent a footage to the media blaming my government for the atrocities of the syrian

people and the ministry of information condemning this decision the ministry considers it as its responsibility to provide satellite broadcasting the syrian 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 u.s. and 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. orbits 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 saudi but saudi arabia was one of the gulf nations suggested slapping syria we sanctions if our upset complies with this decision this will constitute a violation of satellite broadcasting regulations 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 of

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 or reprogram your equipment today daily satellite broadcasting of syria a sixteen hours without any specialized information channels have not reached this level yet. since 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. of all it should be said that everything about the mass media is in fact down to the audience but if we take polls around inside and outside syria we shall see that the audience of the syrian satellite channels. it's

grown a little and so has the number of viewers who perceive these channels as the source to turn to a live news coverage on the syrian satellite channels provide live coverage of 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 a firm lead in the coverage of the barbaric i was syria's forced into them and they are 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 needed to introduce sanctions against on mass media the american and european sanctions followed by those experienced by some gulf states at the recent arab league meeting only confirm that the influence of the syrian media has grown and 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 the advance in syria. of course it's very strange we ask oceana and the un security council who will protect freedom of speech democratic principles and liberties how can you shut 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 well again and over one hundred accredited foreign alters permanently working here traveling freely across the country to cover the event that's. how can you shut down syrian satellite channels and at the same time allow foreign news. services operate freely this will

result in biased coverage of all this is part of the information more ways to get syria but 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 on syria has nothing to do with the actual situation in become. it's all lies and fabrications it's 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 had about the houla massacre is a good example of that as soon as the first pictures of a massacre were released everybody started accusing the syrian army and security forces but we all know who was really behind us crying in i know what the atrocities 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 war against syria. today the people of syria the targeted by terrorists armed sponsored by regional powers like qatar and saudi arabia and turkey. as well as by western nations such as the us the how those who often talk about fighting terrorism have joined their forces today to support terrorists attacking syria. but when you think you very much for being with us today mr what syrian minister of information. there hasn't been anything yet. it is. to get

the maximum political impact. the full source material is what helps keep journalism honest. we wanted to present. something else if little bit of an old joke. really outlive. that speech. and. i wish i.

could. run a little. if . soon. soon from feinstein's. screams totty don't come. with the end of the boer war and the going away of the soviet union many people thought that nuclear weapons disappeared keep em. the risk is not zero that something might be going off by mistake especially

a lot of nuclear weapons on hair trigger a lot. of the victims to use it as a threat all as an extra bit but you know if you keep spending a trillion dollars a year on weapons of venture you're going to blow everybody up you you know people are dying from these weapons but until we actually see it people don't wake up to a new flu 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 today.
