hello this is the news channel of these are our top stories credit agency moody's tears apart the pristine ratings of seven of germany's leading banks amid fears that not even europe's economic bastian can withstand the euro crisis. breached the peace pay the price russia's parliament votes to target the wallets of protesters who break the law with thousands of dollars in fines at stake. america's defense chief cozies up to india's leadership as a string of bad luck leaders the u.s. short of bases at its military move into the asia pacific. and syria allows humanitarian aid workers into the country for the first time amid an escalation of

violence on the expulsion of foreign diplomats. as well as physical violence syria's been fighting a so-called information war to with conflicting reports about the situation there syria's minister of information tells r.t. next that what he feels is really going on. then there's the arab league council has asked satellite operators are upside. down the broadcast of sirius 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 might if 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 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 when i 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 in foreign media the very

people are sponsible for that film their crimes and sent a fruitage to the media blaming my government for the atrocities of the syrian people and the ministry of information condemning this decision of the 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 other 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 saudi but saudi arabia was one of the gulf nations suggested slapping syria with sanctions if arab sat 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 a 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 now sat should not comply with this decision should all 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 without any 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 a little 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 a firm lead in the coverage of barack i was syria's forced into 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 to be no such impact 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. in 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 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 alters permanently working travelling freely across the

country to cover the event that. how can you shut down syrian satellite channels and at the same time allow foreign news services operate freely this will result in higher cost coverage in 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 on syria has nothing to do with the actual situation in the country it's all lies and fabrications about this again that there's a real information more 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 this uprising in. your trustees 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. by regional powers like qatar 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 being the boss what are you going to thank you very much for being with us today mr i don't want syrian minister of information.

of the war and the going away of the soviet union many people thought that nuclear weapons disappeared. the risk is not zero that something might be going off by mistake especially a lot of nuclear weapons on hair trigger alert. of the victims to use it as a threat. but you know if you keep spending a trillion dollars a year on weapons of eventually 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 nuclear weapons or
