this is r t thank you for joining us you're just in the headlines a rest for asylum british authorities are ready to detain julian assange breaching his bail conditions there was a blow is now staying at the ecuadorian embassy in london while that country considers whether or not to accept him as a political refugee. egypt's former president hosni mubarak is said to be in a coma amid mounting tensions over who will succeed him after the presidential runoff. and the mainstream media goes all out against those opposing intervention in syria with hyped up reports warning of imminent war games to be held in the
10:31 am
country involving thousands of warships jets and. those are the headlines but up next a rather candid perspective on the syrian crisis excuse me and also more importantly the way it's actually being covered in the worldwide media all of this coming from the senior aide to the country's president exclusively here on alt. thank you. for saying that siobhan political and media advisor to syria's president it's great to have you with us here today what about i'm happy to be here so it's now official the u.n. had of peacekeeping force has confirmed that syria is in a state of a civil war what do you say to that statement well i don't think that this could
10:32 am
work and then they're put in the three we put this statement saying that it is not really but it is sponsible to say that syria is in a state of civil war especially as we are fighting. terrorism i think the media in syria or some media has a war on syria and that has a life of its own well talking about media you know when you read stories on syria in the internet media they often end with a disclaimer saying that the exact number of the victims in this conflict cannot be known because the syrian government doesn't give access to journalists on the other hand syrian government also says that the western media is very biased especially on who they call terrorists. my first question is do you think there can be trust restored between the western media and the syrian government or this media war will only escalate while there are hundreds of journalists who came to syria during this
10:33 am
crisis through that with them give access to foreign journalists hundreds of freshened written of the game hundreds of. foreign journalists from all over the world from in the trial. they were as from all over the world and so it's not true all the journalists are now given access to syria. but also there are. tens a pleased of the channel's whole made themselves part of the war on syria and citing sectarian wars fabricating facts about what's happening in our country but the media war itself can it do some real damage or hands on it can do a lot of damage to the media war because when you're. just a man and fighting sectarian hatred among the syrian people there are many people
10:34 am
who fall victim to do this inside the unfortunately the media war throughout history could be very damaging. but effective so you feel like syria's government could lose this in this conflict because of media war no i don't think so i don't think that extent but it's definitely a cause thing. lives of our people causing us the harmonious way of life you know we often hear especially lately the syrian government pointing fingers to the others who are supplying arms to the unknown terrorist groups who are these others can you name the countries really the gnome but i would like to say to you that. the syrian government the issue the issue is syria the issue is the unity and safety and sovereignty and prosperity of syria that is the issue here but you surely have your own version not official but your own version who may this people
10:35 am
be who are helping the terrorists to kill peaceful people like you say i think even though. you are say that very. different the groups we don't know who these people are we've been not to who they belong to my leadership i mean. they were forces and they would say to you this is the most the problem in syria that you know. and that's the problem you know cooperation with the u.n. is critical for syria safeguarding it against a military invasion but with observers on the ground you know there was still hope for some balanced solution. but now that the units are abruptly ended the mission and they left how big is this threat of foreign intervention in syria while i think the observers have made many statements saying that the syrian government corporate with us they did not stop the mission this or spun the mission we all saw fear for
10:36 am
their safety because the syrian people are. also afraid that some observers could be targeted by the groups and we would hate that to happen all we hear in the western media is the possibility of foreign invasion or intervention how do you assess the chances for intervention i don't think. that is possible in a sense because if you take what the syrian crisis and there are all. china would the door twice and what would what this is with the stand off that it is a syrian people who should decide the future of syria i don't feel that. a military strike is possible and then if you look at what happened in libya or in yemen or you look would see the consequences of what happened and i think the west
10:37 am
is quite aware of where things are in the middle east and i hope there are enough reasonable people in the word the way actions but it carefully and i feel that there's no consideration for such a thing because of course you do have russia and china support as firestick here in security council goes but that didn't help much in the iraqi scenario. you know they want around the u.n. security council resolution and invaded iraq what other means do you guys have except russia well they live from area also they think that scenario of course of course countries learn from their experiences i have no doubt we'll all learn from our experiences i have no doubt that the west learned from afghanistan. and the from libya also that military strike doesn't always come with a flowery result doesn't achieve the best result that they hoped for i think the
10:38 am
world is different now and i think. it's no longer one polar system i think russia and china now hard to face and the international arena to the relief of most people and the world because we have suffered from one polar system and we're happy with the urgency of the bipolar system with the emergence of the brics and i think the words changing but look what just happened in libya for instance i mean the u.s. and their partners they have a perfect hundred percent track record when it comes to removing they had so foreign states that they want removed and i'm keeping in mind the result they have shown for bashar assad to go what makes you think that this could be different scenario and come to see how much russia has lived from by libyan to not know for example russia have to change. the political scene in the word by making
10:39 am
an excellent stand in support of people who decide their future and is it democracy to decide in foreign countries to move ruler i mean this is the way the more closely should look or is it the people who should decide if it is not only talking about syria is it the will proceed to say to the british people you should move camera or is it. british people who should design why that doesn't apply to other countries is it because of the colin who got money over the other people is it because the west doesn't believe that a people are equal to western people in their right to choose their own system at this is a question i pose a democracy means the people of the country should decide their future should decide who rules them and then what did the syrian people achieve throughout the sea it was both cutting roads killing they are not losing
10:40 am
their army and police people we are the ones who are losing it and when they talked about libya what did they say they said we didn't lose an american soldier but thousands tens of thousands of libyan people lost their lives. so does that not matter here talking about libya what are the implications of so much weaponry going into syria now what happens once the conflict is over and you have all this uncontrolled arms country full of arms what happened libya i think you can say that the conflict is over unless unless we all these arms are withdrawn from the street from the people that is what should happen these are part of the conflict and in fact those who are smuggling arms and money into
10:41 am
syria are the ones what igniting the conflict there are these foreign and external factors particularly the media war smuggling arms and smuggling money to syria is a huge part of the problem and syria but can you do something about this at this point or it's out of your can i think of the international community who should also do something about that because those countries who say that their support kofi annan and the pla and kofi annan say and the first item stopping armaments and stopping violence from all parties in all its forms some skeptics say that the reason a humanitarian corridor for people in syria's most troubled place homs is not possible is because hearing government is afraid along with the humanitarian aid will come something else is that true that not through that we be incorporating with the human that they're in agencies but until now we haven't seen anything of
10:42 am
the humanitarian aid arriving to syria we called it the absolutely fully with the humanitarian agencies there's no problem so there's a humanitarian corridor open in homes right now there is no human to fit in code or i don't know where the negotiations are but there there is no need for humanitarian corridor but there are assistance that. this coming and being distributed through that of the cross and that of the cousin do you feel like the allegations about people being badly in need of food and medical aid is exaggeration. extremely exaggerated you are also on that black list of sanctioned syrian official state us united states issued what does it feel to be like on a sanctioned list sanctioned by united states you mean personally for me does it change anything that we sanction no i refused to go to the united states in two thousand and five and they sent me money in the patients of brookings and through
10:43 am
money institute the go on the give a lecture there i did them because i don't like to be treated. american airport the way they treat people they probably treat all people like this but i don't like to be treated that way and i don't have to go to the united states and by the way they didn't sanction me they proved my assets and they know i don't have a single dollar not only in the united states or anywhere in the word so their countries as many assets of the like because they don't have any of them my asset is their love for my country and for my people and all these you know propaganda movements to put their name or so on so on to put my name on sanctions means nothing to me books of mine are being sold in the united states i thought a duke university i thought richer than university a third book of mine is now accepted to be published in the united states so i thought this should be embarrassed the put my name on the side of not me who should be embarrassed this should be about saying
10:44 am

10:55 am
