firepower of the world's nuclear arsenal today. on the mag you're watching r.t. live from moscow these are the top stories massacre days of the in syria government forces find dozens of women and children butchered in a hole the style slaughter once again coinciding with a high profile appearance of kofi on a. touching sore points a global political attention shifts eastward as president poured me to random and again leaders in beijing wrapping up his chinese tour. plus the political revolution that failed to bring a cultural one women in egypt are there five for equality is doomed as long as rise from the ashes of the uprising. next an exclusive interview with lebanese interior

minister marwan bell gives he's outlook on how bloodshed in syria could play out for the region. well again a swell of the lebanon is affected by internal tensions and we do not conflict or decisions related to security issues are made. by other countries so how can you talk about security in lebanon. little bit of lebanon security doesn't depend on lebanon alone politically and in terms of security and lebanon depends on external factors as well but when the people of lebanon have close religious and family ties with neighboring states. is there an alternative to. the corner and that has to be an automatic even smaller countries than lebanon has just external influence. also what do you think about the conflict between the shia

and sunni. for fitness in nine hundred seventy four and seventy five we had a conflict but i don't christians and muslims in lebanon and this conflict was resolved with we adopted a new constitution and achieved holiday it is possible that at some point lebanon will face the threat of being broken up into pieces and of course it concerns me that look at iraq for example the us occupied the country then they withdrew their troops and what we have now iraq is divided there is a danger that something like that will happen in syria to with the current situation persists and if syria is divided this will directly affect lebanon. do you think the current theory and regime can protect lebanon should the. question is not whether this regime stays in syria or is replaced by another when the problem is that the insurgency affects the situation in lebanon. who do you think

is behind the syrian conflict. we have some global and arab interests clashing and we all understand that what we don't understand is where class this. it will take us in the end but we can say one thing with about 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 and after the detention of saudi malawi who was later released in tripoli 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 the least chance to benefit from that and has started minute but. 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. trying to divide lebanon you and your cousin 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 on the points the finger at somebody and say they lay 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 the spray no one has egypt elected president or has the spring ended but most of the same thing is happening in tunisia and in yemen there's no fruit there's just this expression if you have a great night if you know what 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 protest before even if one person in it was killed and 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 move on with my. marley was given

as mr minister i'd like to ask you about their doctrine of eleven lebanese citizens no doubt you follow the situation closely and you disgusted with the talk as 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. but 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 kidnap 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 really thought a bit of well a lot of us what was the syrian opposition involved again was there 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 response about the turkish authorities are looking into this and i'll say here and i mean i'm hizbullah is it

true that has been largely done. is the only person who can bring these people home . i don't think so but the secretary general of hezbollah did say that his if his personal involvement is necessary to resolve this problem he would be willing to mazzoli to them hello i get my legs that none of the kidnapped individuals i have been commanded no do you know how soon the kidnapped individuals may be freed quite soon it will happen this month. but in the sense that it will only realign itself in defining its policies and were more to take into consideration serious internal conflict but some say that this is impossible as a geopolitical ties between the two countries are very strong when 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 or will such a policy get eliminated we have a problem but part of the people support the cover. regime in syria and another

part support the opposition but we as a state are pursuing a policy where we recognize the syrian government so as the minister of internal affairs and you know who should i support if i'm in iraq by going to lebanon or against the regime with the minister too should be against the regime. lebanese republic cooperate with in syria. the syrian government and the un recognizes the syrian ambassador represents syria in the united nations what i'm saying is that we cooperate with the government of a country that if there is regime change in syria we will cooperate with the new government of lebanon recognizes syria as a nation as does the un don't have the un clashes between the sunni and the lebanon and leads to a seven. it's not true that the clashes were only between the sunni and the. house 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 and there were certain conflicts but we never had clashes between the sunni and they allowed we. did not support the lovely again. you always have people standing up for their interests and. the syrian ambassador to the u.n. bashar has appealed to international organizations among other things offering evidence if you want terry on lebanese territory the lebanese president the prime minister and just south of deny these allegations you say that while the ideas of al qaeda may be present in lebanon there are no grounds for terrorism or terrorists yet your defense minister says the terrorists including al qaeda cells may be present. could you please explain these differences in such an important. i have personally met with the defense minister and we've cleared up this situation there was some misunderstanding regarding terminology but the president said on the issue is correct we meant that there are no al. kind of 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 but the circle of us me mr minister why don't you make an official statement in the un and i don't really know the facts presented in other sargeant far as a letter why didn't you know insufficiently that there is no terrorism in lebanon and that nobody supports terrorists that are at the very end of there is no terrorism in lebanon no one can say for sure that it is al qaida has behind the terrorist attacks car terrorism is a very wide concept that no one can say that there are no terrorists investable that kind of how to be terrorists may be everywhere in the u.s. in an arab country and recently there was a terrorist attack in front of a man from unity or algeria killed three or four children wasn't that a terrorist attack or terrorist attacks happen all over the world let me 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. wealthy british scientists are. sometimes guided by. market why not come to. find out what's really happening to the global economy

to. see. to. see. her. with the end of the war and the going away of the soviet union many people thought that nuclear weapons disappeared from the risk is not zero that something might be going off by mistake especially a lot of nuclear weapons on hair trigger alert. up most of the victims to use it as

a threat all as an actual weapon 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 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. there hasn't been anything good on t.v. . it is to get the maximum political impact. before the source material is what helps keep journalism honest we.

thanks during a how and welcome to sport an artsy honor among cos for event let's get straight to the headlines. majestic maria sharapova returns to the french open semifinals to stay on course for a career grand slam and the world number one spot. plus on the men's striker oman publish and go and goalkeeper egot i can dispel injury worries ahead of russia's euro opener against the czech republic on friday. and fighting saw challenger team bradley says he will defeat boxing great many back ya'll as the two held their final media conference had upset of a stifled out in las vegas. by the first maria sharapova has reached the semifinals of the french open for the third time the second seed russian powering past a stone has kaia kanepi in straight sets after taking the first set six two share rob had to call from two love down in the second but closed out the match six three

in just over an hour that's when a five year old will oust a big story as the world number one if she reaches the final this is something she has never done before despite having won the other three grand slams. nice to be home position against 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 yeah the return runs very important because she can serve very well has a big first serve so that was a big key today. up next is wimbledon champion patrick beat about the czech came from a set down to outclass kazakh qualifier jonas was like in almost two hours three six six two six four and the fourth seed is wary of sharapova after having lost

twice to the russian this season i mean it is good to know that i can play and i hope that they will be not only five but i know that my opponent tomorrow and you know i lost. my cheese in the last so i hope that they will remember something from to make cheese in chase i think when i can win against her and she's playing what i while she has a great season right now and she's very double porn and then will be a big change for me tomorrow. and over on the men's side holder rafael nadal has yet to drop a set following a straightforward victory over a fellow standard nicolas almagro the first set when no one would serve but the world number two 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 his tenth a sort of the match that's always searching for an unprecedented seventh or longer

last i think. you can of this pick to win and you see much one of the finals of one thousand. was a tough one. and through and then me. waiting in the semifinals is another competitor it's a very rare the number six seed advanced after beating the world number four andy murray on clay for the fourth time out of four however the brits and put up a proper fight on his favorite surface and even won the second set on inside break but murray was guilty off a wall full fifty nine unforced errors more consistent spaniard won it six four six seven six three six two to reach the french open said finals for the first time while murray was once again made to wait for his mates and major title. let's move to football now and it looks like russia coach dick advocaat has a full if it squad to choose from ahead of their opening game against the czech republic at the european championships in poland striker among public schenkel and

goalkeeper eager i think they have had struggled with leg injuries but both were back in training with the rest of the team on wednesday as all twenty three players pull extra muscles at their base in that sound off slowly they also played a training match that so probably go find the back of the net but look how much he must command was russia's top scorer of the euro two thousand and eight with three goals to his name. all but one of the czech squads that were in training involved on wednesday milan barroso. think this one out they go it doesn't rise riker has a muscle problem in his leg but should be fit enough to resume training the czechs have played russia only once before that was at euro ninety six and still the chicks come back from three nil down to snatch a draw and qualify for the quarterfinals and they believe friday's game will be crucial again. i'm not sure if it's the holidays 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 will see who is the better team that was the kind of a cots announce that he has to step down after the year olds once as well finals however so far he's enjoyed great success with the russian national team and guys ing them to the euro finals with a minimum of fuss richard and port fleet caught up with former neverland's defender arts or newman who knows his fellow dutchman better than most. these are nervous times for dick uppercuts he has the weight of a nation on his shoulders as he prepares for russia's first match of the euro two thousand and twelve finals against the czech republic however he believes russia in with a good chance of spring a surprise in poland in ukraine and one man who knows him better than most having played on his fellow dutchman from the majority of his career says he's

a fantastic coach i know him for twenty years and he's never changed he's always. he's always focusing on while he always keeps one of the ten percent actually to get a result. and you can see it as well over the last couple of years he's doing well and also with country. as one of my favorite the managers i've had because he's always focused on football. try to do to get the best others players undercut is a really one trophies i'm in neverland scotland and russia where he won the u.a.e. for cup i'm a domestic championship was a needs they were persona he's managed to form a strong bond with the players especially both played under him and petersburg and newman believes his mentality is second to none tactical motivation as well. as discipline right mentality and i think he sees you the right place universe as well russia had few problems in qualifying for the euro two thousand and twelve finals

national spice and early hip hop haven she finished top of a group of the newman believes the russians could do well at the european championships but it's always difficult because sometimes you think teams were doing well and then all of a sudden they don't perform and sometimes there's also some surprises with country but we know that they have a very good team good good players 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 start a strong favorites to win the group having been drawn with poland greece and the czech republic. to go to somebody called russia to the euro two thousand and twelve finals however that was beezy parts and now comes the hard part is he tries to pick his weights against the top coaches i'm players from around the continent how all of this will be the documents final told him and in charge of the russians he'll be determined to end it on a high ridge bumble fleet also. so basketball and the n.b.a.
