fire power the world's nuclear arsenal today. this is r.t. the headlines for you that massacre deja vu in syria government forces find dozens of women and children butchered. slaughter once again that kind siding with a high profile parents of vienna. touching a sore points a global political attention shifts eastward as president putin needs to rein in afghan leaders in beijing wrapping up his chinese tour. and as europe's economic union is showing signs of progress germany calls for a political alliance to do the financial trauma of the state's major banks were mauled by a ratings agency. the next an exclusive interview with

a lebanese interior minister who gives his outlook on how the bloodshed in syria could play out in the entire region. well again a so i love the lebanon is affected by internal tensions and we do not conflict or decisions related to security issues are made outside by other countries so how can you talk about security in lebanon that would though you have a 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 that an alternative to external influence. that has to be in order to what is even smaller countries than lebanon has just external influence. also what do you

think about the conflict between the shia and sunni. about fitness in one hundred seventy four and seventy five we had a conflict but i don't christians and muslims in lebanon and this conflict was resolved well if we adopted a new constitution and a chain of 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 do we have now iraq is divided there is a danger that something like that will happen in syria to with the current situation persist if syria is divided this will directly affect lebanon. do you think the current series of regime can protect lebanon. question is not whether this regime stays in syria or is replaced by another with the problem is that the insurgency affects the situation in lebanon. 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 this clash 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 saadi 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 all 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 cannot point 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 spirit 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 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 protest before even if one person it was killed it 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 discussed it with the talkers 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 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 really thought it would have been well 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 also 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 miss a little about them hello i guess i like that none of the kidnapped individuals or has been our commanders in the field know do you know how soon the kidnapped individuals may be freed quite soon it will happen this month in. lebanon says that it will only rely on itself in defining its policies and will not take into consideration serious internal conflicts 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 where 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 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 clashes between the sunni 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 a sonny and they allowed we. did not support their 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 carry on lebanese territory the lebanese president the prime minister and just south deny these allegations you say that while the ideas about 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. and. 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. 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 qaida cells in lebanon but the circle of us me mr minister why don't you make an official statement in the un and the facts presented in other sodje far as a letter why didn't you know insufficiently that there is no terrorism in lebanon and that nobody supports terrorism that i looked at the video there is no terror as it 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 come out of the terrorists maybe everywhere in the us in an arab country and 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 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 then that's true the situation will be more transparent we should have had a proper border a long time ago. wealthy british style. markets why not. find out what's really happening. into the global economy
