welcome back you're watching our q live from moscow let's take a look at our top stories massacre it is of them in syria government forces find dozens of women and children butchered in a polish style slaughter once again coinciding with a high profile appearance of kofi annan. touching sore points global political attention shifting his words as president jordan means the iranian and afghan leaders in beijing wrapping up his chinese tour. the political revolution that failed to bring a cultural one women into fear their fight for equality you do bomb is to rise from the ashes of the uprising. that's the headlines here in r.t.

and next an exclusive interview with the lebanese interior minister marwan trouble who gives his outlook on how bloodshed in syria could play out for the region. well again the soul of the lebanon is affected by internal tensions and we do not conflict or decisions related to security issues are made outside lebanon by other countries so how can you talk about security in lebanon then. a. little bit of lebanon security doesn't depend on lebanon alone politically and in terms of security lebanon depends on external factors as well that the people of lebanon have close religious and family ties with neighboring states. is there an alternative to external influence. there has to be an alternative even smaller countries than lebanon resist external influence

a conflict also what do you think about the conflict between the shia and sunni as a lebanon. in one hundred seventy four and seventy five we had a conflict between christians and muslims in lebanon and this conflict was resolved with we adopted a new constitution and achieved harmony it is possible that at some point lebanon will face the threat of being broken up into pieces and of course it concerns me with a look at iraq for example the us occupied the country then they withdrew their troops and what do we have now iraq is divided there is a danger that something like that will happen in syria too if the current situation persists if syria is divided this will directly affect lebanon. do you think the current syrian regime can protect lebanon. the question is not whether this regime stays in syria or is replaced by another one the problem is that the insurgents in syria affects the situation in lebanon. who do you think is

behind the syrian conflict. we have some global and arab interests clashing here and we all understand that what we don't understand is where this clash will to. because in the end but we can say one thing with certainty that if the syrian conflict is resolved one way or another this will effect the situation in lebanon. this is the recent events in lebanon the murder of two shakes the situation in africa the detention of saudi malawi who was later released into a pulley all these events indicate that seven forces are not only trying to flare up a conflict they want to start a wave of violence in the country who want to understand it but the big question is who stands to benefit from that. it's being done so that palestinians can become citizens of lebanon if lebanon is divided palestinians will eventually be able to become lebanese citizens but one who is trying to divide lebanon. i can ask you the same question external forces seek to control lebanon they seek to divide and

weaken all the countries surrounding israel in order to ensure israel's security. is based on the current situation in the region and the information we have cannot point the finger at somebody and say that they are interested in this scenario more than anybody else and. i can put it this way we've all heard this expression of the arab spring but who has seen the fruit of this spring no one has egypt elected its president or has the spring ended almost the same thing is happening in tunisia and in yemen there's no fruit there's just this expression of the arab spring and i really think that what we see today is an israeli spring who will pose a threat to israel now and palestinians dying every day and no one protests before even if one palestinian was killed there was an outrage today three palestinians get killed or ten or twenty and nobody says anything there's not even any talk

about differences within the palestinian movement with my. miley was you have been is mr minister i'd like to ask you about the abduction of eleven lebanese citizens no doubt you follow the situation closely and you disgusted with the turkish colleagues during your and prime minister's visit to turkey what is the current situation with these people who kidnapped them when will they return home to their families. i can only give you a very general answer because we made an agreement with turkey not to disclose the details to the media the kidnapped people are on syrian territory two kilometers away from the turkish border we're working together with the turkish foreign ministry to liberate these people. well a lot of this was the syrian opposition involved again with said that they are the kidnappers. yes these people were kidnapped by the syrian opposition but we don't know which group within the syrian opposition is responsible the turkish

authorities are looking into this and also here and i mean on hizbullah is it true that has been law leader hassan nasrallah is the only person who can bring these people home. i don't think so but the secretary general of hezbollah did say that if his personal involvement is necessary to resolve this problem or he would be willing to resolve it out and i think i like that none of the kidnapped individuals i have commanded is you know do you know how soon the kidnapped individuals may be freed quite soon it will happen this month. lebanon says that it will only realign itself in defining its policies under them or take into consideration syria's internal conflict but some say that this is impossible as the geopolitical ties between the two countries are very strong what do you think about that but. let me ask you a question what will happen if lebanon pursues a policy that is based purely on its own interests where will such a policy get us which we have

a problem it would have been part of the people support current the. regime in syria and another part support the opposition but we as a state pursue our own policy we recognize the syrian government so as the minister of internal affairs whom should i support if a million people in lebanon are against the regime the minister too should be against the regime whom do we as a lebanese republic cooperate with in syria we cooperate with the syrian government the un recognizes the syrian ambassador he represents syria in the united nations what i'm saying is that we cooperate with the government of the country if there is regime change in syria we will cooperate with the new government lebanon recognizes syria as a nation as does the un we had a bet on how come clashes between the sunni and they're now in northern lebanon leads to a civil war in lebanon. and it's not true that the clashes were only between the sunni and the alawi perhaps something like that did happen but not on a large scale but back in those days when the syrian army was in lebanon including

tripoli there were certain conflicts but we never had clashes between the sunni and the allowing syrians did not support the love we against the sunny you always have people standing up for their interests. the syrian ambassador to the u.n. bashar just far he has appealed to international organizations among other things offering evidence that there were terrorist on lebanese territory the lebanese president the prime minister and just south of you or deny these allegations who say that while the ideas of al qaida may be present in lebanon there are no grounds for terrorism or terrorist yet your defense minister says the terrorists including al qaeda cells may be present in lebanon could you please explain these differences in such an important issue. that i have personally met with the defense minister and we've cleared up this situation there was some misunderstanding regarding terminology what the president said on the issue is correct we meant that there are

no al. qaeda cells in lebanon but it is possible that individual members of this international organization are present in our country but we don't have al qaeda camps or al qaeda cells in lebanon be secular that's me mr minister why don't you make an official statement in the un and refute the facts presented in a discharge of far as a letter why don't you nonce officially that there is no terrorism in lebanon and that nobody is the port the terrorists that are like that there is no terrorism in lebanon no one can say for sure that it is al qaeda who is behind the terrorist attacks terrorism is a very wide concept and no one can say that there are no terrorists in this or that country out of the terrorists may be everywhere in the u.s. in an arab country recently there was a terrorist attack in front of a man from tunisia or algeria killed three or four children wasn't that a terrorist attack terrorist attacks happen all over the world and the best way to

address this problem is to consolidate to the people of lebanon. mr minister part of the repercussions of the syrian crisis may be avoided by demarcating the border between lebanon and syria. the demarcation of the border will not stop terrorists from crossing over into another country but the situation will be more transparent that's true the situation will be more transparent we should have had a proper border a long time ago. please

speak. to. her. wish. to come it's good. to see. her. gifts. and. her. mind i'm a little. keith. 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 zero that something might be going off by. it's to expose a lot of the weapons on hair trigger alert. of the victims to use it.

all 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. 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. the influence of science technology innovation all the latest developments around russia we've. covered.

a group of newman believes the russians can do well at the european championships it's always difficult because sometimes you think teams were doing well and. they don't perform also some surprises for it. but we know that they have a very good team. players who can score goals can make a difference but it's always interesting especially. because it will be tough but it's possible we'll soon find out how well russia during the euros and they will stand a strong favorites to win the group having been drawn with poland greece and the czech republic. to go back out to somebody gold rush out of a euro two thousand and twelve finals however that was beezy potts and now comes the hard part as he tries to pick his wits against the top coaches i'm players from around the continent how all of this will be the judgments final told him and in charge of the russians he'll be determined to end it on a high ridge bumble fleet also. the basketball and the n.b.a.
