in seventy four and seventy five we had a conflict between christians and muslims in lebanon and this conflict was resolved 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 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 cancer in 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. 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 take us in the end but we can say one thing with certainty that if the syrian conflict is resolved one way or another this will affect 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 plea or 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 one 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 when he had. based on the current situation in the region and the information we

have can you 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 the arab spring but who has seen the fruit of the 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 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. mind was i have been as 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 own 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. with you 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 why out of this what 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 i mean on his is it true that has billard 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 he would be willing to resolve it or them. but none of the kidnapped individuals are has been commanded you know if you know do you know how soon the kidnapped individuals may be freed quite soon it will happen this month and lebanon says that it will only realign itself in defining its policies and will not take into consideration syria's internal conflict but some said that this is impossible as the geopolitical ties between the two countries are very strong when you think about that. 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 if we have a problem if it had been part of the people support the current 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 u.n. recognizes the syrian ambassador 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 u.n. have it on how can clashes between the sunni and their law when 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 back in those days when the syrian army was in lebanon including tripoli and there were certain conflicts but we never had clashes between the sunni and the allow we. 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. but charges 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 you say that while the ideas of al qaeda 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. i have personally met with the defense minister and we've cleared up the situation there was some misunderstanding regarding terminology what the president said on the issue is correct we meant the 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 resettle of us mr minister why don't you make an official statement in the un and refute the facts presented in a bizarre jafar is a letter why didn't you nonce officially that there is no terrorism in lebanon and that nobody supports terrorists. 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 no one can say that there are no terrorists in this or that country the terrorists may be everywhere in the us 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 a terrorist attacks happen all over the world 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 do. marketing the border between lebanon and

syria i'm sure heard that 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 . please.

a year. you're going to blow everybody you know people are dying from these weapons but until we actually see if people don't wake up to. the firepower of the second world war this second sound is the equivalent. of the world's nuclear arsenal today. sorry and technology innovation. development from russia we've. covered.

pass a version of you in syria government forces find dozens of women and children butchered in a hotel style slaughter once again coinciding with a high profile appearance of. touching sore points local political attention shifted eastwards as president bush meets iranian and afghan leaders in beijing wrapping up his chinese tour. plus the political revolution that failed to bring a cultural one with an age of fear their fight for equality is doomed as long as rise from the ashes of the uprising. the outlines here in our sports next will remind. thanks for that's my radio i want to welcome to sport an artsy i'm on call seven let's get to the headlines first. majestic maria sharapova returns to the french

won the other three grand slams. nice to be have position again it's my third time semifinals and after a tough match in the previous round a. i'm happy with the way i am proved in this match at that those really important because she's someone that always competes in plays really well against top players especially she has that extra motivation and you know the return runs very important because she can serve very well has a big first serve so that was a big key to day. up next is a wimbledon champion beaten by the czech came from a set down to outclass cause a qualifier jaroslava she was almost two hours three six six three six four and the fourth seed is where we all should walk off after having lost twice to the russians this season i mean it it's good to know that i can play and i hope that there will be not only five but i know that my eyes open one tomorrow and you know i lost.

my cheese in the last so i hope that they will remember something from my cheese in chase i think when i can win against her and she's playing where i was she has a great season right now and she's ready to have a pool now and then there will be a big challenge for me tomorrow over the men's side holder rafael nadal has yet to drop a set following a straightforward victory over a fellow spaniard nicolas almagro the first set with the serve but the second scene prevailed on that side break before serving out the match seven six six two six three the king of play held all of his serves and sealed the deal with this match that's always searching for another president at seventy one the last title. and sure you can have this big win an easy match one of the finals of a grand slam and. so it was

a tough one. through and then we have. waiting in the semifinal is another compadre for the number six seed advanced after beating the world number four and to marry enclave. out of four however the briton put up a proper flights on his own favored surface and even won the second set on that side break but murray was guilty of what will full force. systems and what it six four six seven six three six two syringe the french open semifinals for the first time while murray was once again waiting for a major sides. and there is good news for russia ahead of their opening game at the european championships first choice keeper egan i can fair is back training with the main squad after struggling with a nice strain he had developed fluid around the joint but looks set to be fit for the first game against the czech republic on friday and was doing the same training

as the other goalkeepers in the squad on wednesday i can face currently the only slight injury doubts other than that because of a cot has a fully fit squad to choose from. well all but one of the czech squad wore in training in the vaults twelve on wednesday barossa sitting this one out the goal of surprise striker has a muscle problem in his leg but should be fit enough to resume training tomorrow the czechs have played russia only once before that was at euro ninety six and saw the czechs come back from cradles ounces snatch a draw and qualify for the quarterfinals and believe friday's game will again be crucial. i'm not sure if it's the hardest spawn but it's certainly the most important match as it's the first one we don't really know where we are in terms of how good we are but i think russia doesn't know either they've had a better build up unfortunately we lost things are going to start from zero and we
