syria's minister of information tells r t next 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 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 with 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 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 that would be very people are sponsible that's filmed their crimes and sent to fruitage to the media blaming my government for the atrocities of the syrian people and the

ministry of information condemning this decision of human history 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. now 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 saudi but saudi arabia was one of the gulf nations suggested slapping syria with sanctions if arab sat complies with this decision that 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 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 with syria a sixteen hour 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 a little and so has the number of viewers who perceive these channels as the source

to turn to a live news coverage of 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 syria has been forced into gold 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 that there be no such impact that it would be no need 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. 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 three 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. 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 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 and what about this again that there's a real information more waged against syria with real facts being substituted with 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 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. i'm saved by regional powers like. 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 do you want to thank you very much for being with us today mr i don't know what syrian minister of information.

i think. that in the street. where i was. a good. luck. to

see. it on the. bottom a little. with the end of the boer 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 of sounds of the nuclear weapons on hair trigger

alert. us of the victims to use it as a threat all as an actual bit 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 if people don't wake up to nuclear weapons or a bill. that represents all the firepower of the second world war and this second sound is the equivalent firepower of the world's nuclear arsenal today. league just
