the purpose is to hide the truth about what is really going on in syria from people both inside and outside the country this is part of the smear campaign launched by certain satellite channels and supported by the gulf nations behind the decision contradicts fundamental moral and professional standards for mass media in the arab world and globally it contradicts the rules and regulations for satellite broadcasting as agreed by the council of ministers. when we had this decision was made by foreign ministers which means it was politically i tell you it's part of the syrian political agenda and we all understand that these plans are being implemented i cannot level with the manner purpose of this decision to silence syrian channels. a role of some of these countries providing support to the terrorists in syria helping them financially and smuggling weapons into the country and they're all certain freight of syria disclosing the truth terrorist connection

of some media outlets financed and supported by these outside players we have had a situation where terrorists acted as correspondents in foreign media that would have thought he very people are sponsible fact that film their crime was that and sent a footage to the media blaming my government for the atrocities of the syrian people and the ministry of information. ministry considers it as its responsibility to provide satellite broadcasting to syria the satellite challenge. how will the government organize satellite broadcasting for syrian satellite channels plan to work together with our upside and that says you have contracts with them. considering the current situation of the hysteria around syria we anticipated that decision of this sort it would be especially off the. u.s.

and europe impose sanctions on syria media outlets and also the us and canada technical measures to stop syrian t.v. channels and radio stations from broadcasting in north america so we are prepared to help syrian satellite channels continue broadcasting through different satellites the same orbits use by arab satellite them. but we have the capability as for the absolute satellites you know that arab sat is controlled by the council of ministers of information and that the head of the council is a sound but saudi arabia was one of the gulf nations suggested slapping syria we side. if arabs sat complies with this decision let me this will constitute a violation of satellite broadcasting regulations this would be a politically motivated status or ghanaians by external forces that are attacking syria and the syrian media as a mass that it's

a joint stock company some of the stock that belongs leadership should government some of the private investors and that's why we insist that no such i don't comply with this decision should only its legal and contractual obligations to the syrian ministry of information which means continuing the satellite broadcast channels but i want to assure all of our viewers in syria and iran that syrian satellite channels will continue broadcasting without any destruction. there is no need to get new antennas reprogram your. today daily satellite broadcast live at syria a sixteen hours without any specialized information channels not reach this level yet. the. arab states and other countries as he is saying are waging an informational war against syria does the syrian government media still provide a balanced and unbiased coverage do they provide an accurate picture. the situation

in syria especially considering that they were not prepared for this information. and. it should be said that everything about the us media is in fact down to the audience if we take our side and outside syria we shall see that the audience of the syrian satellite channels has grown a little and so has the number of viewers who perceive these channels as the source to turn to. syrian satellite channels provide live coverage to sixteen hours a day and this includes the official channels and the specialist and private. we can say the official syrian media has taken. the coverage of the syrians and forced into the exposing the plans to undermine the strength of spirits by the syrian people i'm convinced that the recent sanctions against our mass media came as a response to it's increased impact and there be no such impacts are needed to

ensure sanctions against. the american sanctions. by some of the gulf states the recent meeting only confirm that the influence of the syrian media has grown because of all that we will have to develop our informational policy and improve our structure for the syrian media. the arab league seems to shut down some of the syrian channels but the annan plan actually calls for as many channels as possible to cover the syria. of course it's very strange. and the u.n. security council protects freedom of speech with democratic principles and liberties how can you shut it down syrian national media when the ana and accreditation. coming to syria to cover the situation. you know we have one hundred

eighty media outlets from all over the world been represented in syria well are they not over one hundred accredited for. permanently working travelling freely across the country to cover the event that we think and how can you shut down syrian satellite channels and at the same time allow for new services operate freely. this will result in i asked countered with all this is part of the information more ways to get syria but we know that eighty percent of the satellite channels dedicate a thirty minutes of the new year's hours to syria today and a recent study shows that ninety percent of satellite coverage in syria has nothing to do with the actual situation in iraq it's all lies fabrications and what you see again or theory is that there's a real information it waged against syria with real facts being substituted by fabrication because these lies are the only way for them to achieve their

objectives in their war against syria that the had about the houla massacre is a good example of that as soon as the first pictures of the massacre were released everybody started accusing the syrian army and security there was nothing but we all know who was really behind us from i mean i know what you're trying to tease used against the syrian people but as one of the sanctions introduced against the syrian government media have revealed the true nature of those waging a series that today the people of syria targeted by terrorists armed sponsored by regional powers like. saudi arabia and turkey. as well as by western nations such as the u.s. the how those who often talk about fighting terrorism joined their forces today to support terrorists with attacking syria being. going to thank you very much for being with us today mr adelman syrian minister of information.

with the end of the boer 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 mistake especially with the weapons on hair trigger alert. us of a difference to use it as a threat as an actual event but you know if you keep spending a trillion dollars a year on weapons of venture 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 this. is the equivalent firepower of the world's nuclear arsenal

today. little. golden globe. clip. goodspeed picture you. will. lose long sleep good. place. to sleep. animal.

if. comfort is the least you have. money is the last that you need if you travel this way. language is common. to. the. emotions are intense. and experience priceless. if you're followed up on my debt snowball than this. sort of a throwback and if i can't part about it long. and it goes back to

a time when people would lie down in their forces in the wild west and pick up these future dates and putting them into the sheriff for prosecution i don't think much of the female relative. when they go out there is cop weapons. and you have to hope that nothing bad. will it. but we're chasing killers and you gotta keep that in mind as a two million dollar bill for his arrest. but not super hero they can be killed two of you know they should be in the head i'm going to die. and. once you hunt and run you never go back to hide anything else.

most unique moment i've experienced in my career i i never thought i would. that. i thought that when i once. thought that would be the most treasured. moment my career but when i fell down on my knees today i realized that this was extremely special and even more so with these players if you give her legs some games like this in the beginning of course the they're more relaxed it was very difficult for me to play she made a good. leader. of modern sports rivalries adds another chapter world or one novak djokovic chance six time champion rafael nadal gearing up to meet in the men's final in paris their six hours truly an open decider in january is widely regarded as one of the most stunning matches of all telling jokes which one day i can become the first man since nine hundred sixty nine to hold all four grand slams at the same time with victory this evening and the del meanwhile is

aiming for a record breaking seven french open title. before the final is difficult to imagine how much of six hours if you can do most you know michael agrees but. i will be there if i think every ball and you can predict what's going on all the things i have to believe that this has been well. playing with confidence and i have to play aggressive i have to play my game football where the second day of euro two thousand and twelve auction has already yielded the first major upset of the competition denmark overcoming the odds to shocking that alonso one will beating the twenty ten world cup runners up for the first time in forty five years our correspondents kate partridge watched the danes standing group b. victory in the fall of ukraine. so here we are on day two zero six thousand and twelve in the second day's grieving just a sponsor they think is the best denmark one the netherlands and he would probably have predicted that result before the tournament started with the dutch being the

finalists in south africa in two thousand and ten in denmark they lost one as in nine hundred ninety two but it was the dutch he dominated possession for the first twenty four minutes robin van persie normally so prolific brosnan couldn't find a shooting base and i robin teased the defense attorney full minutes in it was the day simon making a run on the left hand side of his deflected cross somehow finding my friend dead a bit runs on the goalkeeper to make it one nil the dutch peppered the danish goal three attacking substitutions quasi until i came on he managed to get a one on one with a keep out and he missed that had a shot for a penalty it wasn't to be their day denmark won hala nail and it's going to be the danish side that take a one zero victory from group a group of death on the first day and they start on the go in place to jam in portugal. also sitting pretty at the top of the group be alongside the danes are germany loves man one goal too good for christiane or portuguese team it's not the

greatest of spectacle volved but the germans are one little bit. you know with their funds look at these with a quite extraordinary scenes and burley ensuring the game really more reminiscent of a final rather than a group stage clash germany won the tournament in one thousand nine hundred seventy two nineteen eighty nine hundred eighty six. if they're to make up for their first need to get out of the toughest euro two thousand and twelve group next meet the netherlands and stay to themselves need a result on the same night against portugal if they are to make it into the quarterfinals. a major upset in the world of boxing with timothy bradley jr ending money pick a seven year unbeaten run in the ring the twenty eight year old scoring. controversial spit the. w b o welterweight belt. firing. before bradley rebinding halfway through desert storm. to eventually remain

to further develop children sport as michael reports. since two thousand and six members of the winter sports community whether they are companies providing equipment or actual sportsmen and women have been gathering in order to the states and russia common reoccurring topics have ranged from development of new training facilities to education all the engineering specifics of arenas however this is participants focused on how to better develop sport for children and. governments federation people in general need to pay more attention to developing sports for kids because the benefits are clear the promotion of being healthy we need to instill that into the minds of children it's better to spend money on being healthy rather than spending that money on medicine. but it's not only the investment into complexes and equipment that's needed but also human resources. of course

developing sports for kids is important i mean all champions are also once kids and went to sports schools and the like but we need to raise wages for the various trainers and coaches to train a little one it is that moment is the most critical for child sporting life when talking about developing children sporting abilities naturally one of the most important aspects that come to mind is the infrastructure that's needed and although many believe investment stops in moscow and st petersburg it's places like the capital of russia's republican. that's actually leading the way into short years they've managed to build this state of the art i thought that were far enough which is now home to the kontinental hockey league two thousand and eleven women as . the team itself is leading by example boasting five i thought hearings including this one with which to train their younger players. now they've also built this enormous biathlon sport complex so that young russians can further hone their skills and one of the country's most popular sport arts. this is

a really great complex and has all the necessary equipment for proper preparation and training it can be used only around whether or winter which is good because we always learn something new made up of two different sporting disciplines it's most commonly known for the combination of cross-country skiing and rifle shooting although no way is the most prolific in the event russia is also no stranger. to go to biathlon has always been a sport in which russians have excel to go athletes have enjoyed many great results at international level of course not the sport has to share its popularity with other international sporting events like football but it's still appealing to all age groups the consensus is clear to win the kids off seeking personal glory and rather to get them to better understand the physical benefits of simply doing sports but even though the adults are hoping to instill some humility in the kids with a spin towards thing healthy deep down there will always remain

a desire to be the best. and i want to go to the world championships that's my goal and what aiming for which is why i'm here and training every day. not because franco. rushes republic. it's all your sports show whether it's next year and twenty four hour r.t. .

the latest news and we stop stories here on r t the un says a syria peace plan is in the firing line after another gruesome massacre as international peace and pressure are both. a big deal in beijing russia and china sign up for more trade in pledge to top last year's record breaking eighty billion dollars worth of business. spain is to seek up to one hundred billion euros to help salvage its tumbling banks making it the fourth country to ask for a bailout. and thousands of egyptians protest that they are former leader wasn't sentenced to death and that his last prime minister has made it to the run off in the presidential poll.
