christians and muslims in lebanon and this conflict was resolved well with 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 we have now iraq is divided there is a danger that something like that will happen in syria to the current situation persists if syria is divided this will directly affect lebanon. do you think the concierge 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 heads 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 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 we want to understand it but the big question is who stands 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. 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 then for. mation 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 spray and no one has egypt elected its president or has the spring and did the most of the same thing is happening in tunisia and in yemen there's no fruit there's just this expressionlessly have spread out of it 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 movement that i'm with my. mind was i have been this with mr minister i'd like to ask you about their doctrine of eleven lebanese citizen no doubt you follow the situation closely and you disgusted with the talk

is colleague 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 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 what 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 i 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 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 as sound as raw law is the only person who can bring these people home. them. i don't think so but the secretary general of hezbollah did

say that as if his personal involvement is necessary to resolve this problem he would be willing to mazzoli them. that none of the kidnapped individuals i have. no fear no do you know how soon the kidnapped individuals may be freed quite soon it will happen this month. but in fact that it will only realign itself in defining its policies and will not take into consideration serious internal conflicts but some said 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 such a policy getting which we have a problem but part of the people support the current regime in syria and another part support the opposition but we as a state policy we recognize the syrian government so is the minister of internal

affairs and you know who should i support if a minimal in lebanon or against the regime or the minister too should be against the regime. lebanese republic cooperate with in syria we cooperate with the syrian government at 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 one clashes between the sunni and the eleven any 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 sunni and the allowing syrians did not support their lovely against the sun. and

you always have people standing up for their interests. the syrian ambassador to the u.n. bashar farai has appealed to international organizations among other things offering evidence of why 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 issue it would be no i have personally met with the defense minister and we've cleared up this situation there was some misunderstanding regarding terminology where you were but 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 present in our country but we don't have al qaeda camps or al qaida

cells in lebanon would be secular best me mr minister why don't you make an official statement in the u.n. and i just reviewed the facts presented in other sharjah far as a letter why didn't you know insufficiently that there is no terrorism in lebanon and that nobody supports terrorism that. there is no terrorism in lebanon no one can say for sure that it is al qaida has behind the terrorist attacks terrorism is a very wide concept 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 tunisia or algeria killed three or four children wasn't that a terrorist attack 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 demarcating the border between lebanon and syria. i'm

a shithead at the bit of the demarcation of the border will not stop terrorists from crossing over into another country. but the situation will be more transparent than that's true the situation will be more transparent we should have had a proper border a long time ago. that . the goal of. live. good speech. her.

a tough to sadder for me. and that's a concern to win it so you know she seems to be playing really well i know that my opponent tomorrow and you know i lost. my cheese in the last so i hope that day when i remember something from the met she's interest 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 porno and be a big change for me tomorrow meanwhile russian richter lanka and that eva tribal obviating to reach the women's doubles final that much was tied assess all yesterday before play was suspended. and they're also waiting to get back on course because of the phrase in paris meanwhile defending men's champion rafael nadal stays on course for a record seventh french open title he beat fellow spaniard nicolas almagro in straight sets yesterday and the players love the spaniard david ferrer in the semi

he's always focusing the full while he always keeps one of the ten percent actually to get all the silt. you can see this well over the last couple of years he's doing well and also with country. as one of my favorites. because he's always focused on football. try to do to get the best out of his players advocaat is a ready one trophies of benevolence scotland and russia where he won the u.a.e. for cup of domestic championship with the needs of he's managed to form a strong bond with the players especially those who played under him in some petersburg and newman believes his mentality is second to none technical modification as well. discipline. i think. as well russia had few problems in qualifying for the euro two thousand and twelve finals at spuyten early hit camp david actually finished top of a group a no man believes the russians can do well at the european championships is always

difficult because sometimes you think you're doing well and. they don't perform also some surprises. but we know that they have a very good team. players who can score calls 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's gold rush or to the euro two thousand and twelve finals however that was beezy parts and now comes the hard part as he tries to pick his wits against the top coaches and players from around the continent however of this will be the documents final told him it's in charge of the russians and he'll be determined to end it on a high richard pombo fleet r.t. moscow. meanwhile players will get a yellow card at the euros if they walk off the pitch after being racially abused
