you're watching on t.v. the headlines now egypt's ruling military vast to clamp down on dissent with an unfenced tens of thousands in cairo protest against the generals to date results of last weekend's presidential polls are expected this sunday but both mohamed mursi endowment shafique already claiming victory. if we can expound to join the sun has a nervous wait for the ecuadorian government's decision whether to grant him a political son of a son has been seeking refuge at its london embassy since tuesday to avoid extradition to sweden and possible transfer to the u.s.

but he fears the death penalty. and he says one of its jets chopped down by syrian forces on friday was not spying but enter the country's airspace by mistake both sides are now trying to defuse tensions and search for the missing pilots and damascus a national committee defensive. but next a candid perspective on the syrian uprising from a senior aide to the country's president with a no show that the political and media advisor to the syrian media gives us the view from inside ourselves regime. thank you. for saying that siobhan political and media advisor to syria's president it's great to have you with us here today with that about i'm happy to be here so

it's now official 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 work and then they're put in the three we put this statement saying 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 that has a life or for 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. there are hundreds of journalists who came to syria during this crisis it's true that we've been given access to foreign journalists hundreds of freshened written of the game hundreds of. foreign journalists from all over the world from india and china. they were as from all over the world and so it's not true all the journalists among given access to syria. but also the there are. tens at least of the channels 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 have some religious men fighting sectarian hatred among the syrian people there are many people who fall victim to do this incitement 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 costing 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. is the syrian government 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 meet these people be who are helping the terrorists to kill peaceful people like you say i think even the observers of the you i know that say that and if very. different a group we don't know who these people are we've been not to who they belong to my leadership i mean. they will and forces and they would say to you this is the most the problem in syria that you know. that is. 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

that observers have made many statements saying that the syrian government corporate with us they did not stop the mission this or spun that mission we all saw fear for 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 they say then prices and they are all. fresh on china with the double door twice and what would what this is with the stand off that it is the 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 in yemen all i could see the consequences of what happened and i think the west 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 there's no consideration for such a thing because of course you do have russia and china support as far as day 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 learned from era also they think that a night of course of course countries learn from their experiences i have no doubt we all learn from our experiences i have no doubt that the west learned from afghanistan. and the from libya also that the military strike doesn't always

come with a flowery result doesn't achieve the best result that they hoped for i think the world is different now and i think. it's no longer one polar system i think russia and china now have a safe and international adding 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 scenario for

example russia has to change. the political scene in the word by making 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. or is it the people who should decide if it is not only talking about syria is it the will curse it to say to the british people you should move camera or is it the . british people who should decide 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. 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 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 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 in syria but can you do something about it at this point or it's out of your control of the international community who should also do something about that because those countries who say that their support kofi annan the plan and kofi annan plan 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 serious most troubled place homes is not possible is because hearing government is afraid along with the humanitarian aid

will come something else is true so that not through that we be incorporating with the human that that in agencies but until now we haven't seen anything of the humanitarian aid arriving to syria we called it the absolutely fully with a human with it jen said 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 human with it and go to door 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 officials that us the united states issued what does it feel to be like on a sanctioned list sanctioned by the united states you mean personally for me it doesn't change anything to be sanctioned 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 for the money institute the go on the give a lecture there i didn't because i don't like to be treated. at the 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 brought my assets and they know i don't have a single dollar not only in the united states or anywhere in the world 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 to want to put my name on sanctions nothing to me books of mine are being sold in the united states i thought a duke university i thought richard and 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 this out of print not me who should be there should be. saying or shove and thank you very much for this interview thank you very much thank you. children play war in the all case me. nine hundred forty one these walls really a first barrier for announcing troops on their way to moscow. from somebody. dying one by one under siege this. one. in the last shelter an unnamed soldier left

play germany in the last four in the war so next thursday here's our tease kate partridge with a preview. the olympic stadium in kiev will host the first competitive match between england and italy for fifteen years and only the second is a european championship but after finishing unbeaten at the top of group day england manager roy hodgson says the approach to this tie will be much like the others to certain is a different mentality because it seems that. in the group stages you would. not help involved. in your game or get a result in your game you could not get through to the final stages i don't think this can change our mentality particularly we must just like certain we prepare for the match that we are very for the much and when we go on the field we're capable of doing what we set out to the england all the only world cup winners never to

have won the euros and lately have the habit of getting knocked out of big tournament of the quarter final stage but captain steven gerrard says this young team can still progress now they are mystery has been in the squad the confidence and belief that you know it's just important all the players seize this opportunity in this moment because you know from experience they don't come around very often so it's important that we believe everything out there and we keep shown to everyone a lot out as an architect out there that we are good enough to compete with that subsumes at this level the italians are also undefeated but miss key defender giorgio killeen a and midfielder tiago mata is a doubt. friendly is aware of hodgson's star after the englishman managed into milan prandelli what name his team until an hour before kick off as the azzurri aim to support england's tactics. we have watched all of england's previous games and know that they are one of the most organized european sides to play within forty

yards and we need to stop them playing the play to high tempo and like to put the food we need to see. at the temple from the start. while england could face a familiar opponent in managed to city's mario balotelli the unpredictable strike a scored a stunner in the two no when overawed and and he's relishing the sort of facing some of his club nights i hope is going to be a good match and. i think it's going to be fun to play against my team mates. they know me and i know them and. i just hope we're going to be nice and fun by then us by laughing i just hope we're going to win because i want to win even if they are my team mates. hope they're going to lose part soon may bring on big strike at andy carroll italy have targeted wayne rooney is ignorance danger man if he and ballot telly repeat their domestic rivalry it could go down to the last

minute not that the english and italian fans that started arriving early here in the capital would mind it to. kate partridge party kiev ukraine. now they say with football because messi has marked his twenty fifth birthday with the yet another head trick in a charity match in miami the barcelona and argentina striker displaying his goalscoring for hours despise rainy conditions in florida many of the world's best gathered for an all star match to help the player of the year raise money for his downed asian so messy to share the spotlight with the likes of former chelsea striker didier drogba and answers to get them illegal both played in mrs black bastards meanwhile those short so hours let their opponents the red stars of liverpool man also with a hat trick to his name as the football spectacular added in a seven seven draw it was the third and final stop for the all star tour after games in mexico and colombia. in formula one defending champion

sebastian vettel will start in pole position for sunday's european grand prix in valencia the red bull driver has won in valencia for the past two seasons and was quickest in qualifying for third straight year alongside him on the front row will be mclaren's lewis hamilton while pastor maldonado off williams will start in third afterwords vettel was quick to praise he stayed. in the last qualifying i knew that going at the end of the track comes in a little bit more and tying them up together than yeah should be good enough maybe to to have a look at the pole in the end it was. surprising but all in all i felt very well this week and the boys have been working incredibly hard in their garridge all the people in the factory as well to make sure that we bring a couple of new parts to the car so they seem to work and i'm looking looking forward to the race tomorrow. elsewhere in motor sports a time defending the world rally champion sebastian loeb has triumphed in new

zealand to claim his third straight victory and further straight she is in the driver's standings the frenchman did not win any of the seven special stages on the final day but he was still almost thirty seconds faster overall than his teammates because you've been in a village no ways better solberg completed the podium on his ford twenty one year old russian and you get involved it all fell short of what would have been only his second ever pole you finish coming in fourth it was the big three number five for local for the season and now these are ready a rival you're been in by thirty eight points with another six dollars left on the w.r.c. calendar. tennis now and french open champion maria sharapova is star getting a second straight major title at wimbledon which is getting underway next week however the new world number one admits it's self switching to grass after dominating the clay court season i think it's the toughest back to back grand slam

lies no doubt especially if you're coming up for you know french open when our finalists it's the toughest turn around because you know as much as you want to celebrating. and. you come here and it's a whole new ball game but i think that's the beauty of tennis is there's there's so much out there to do and achieve and it's it always seems like it's back to back and finally a russia has a new boxing champion. has claimed they i.b.o. light welterweight title which is the first graph of the south pole already nicknamed they king rubber of args anyone has the story. thunderer june that's the way this big night of boxing in the russian capital was presented with this man deserving the headline. currently one of russia's major prospects came out for his

first title shot. the ideal like welterweight belt on the line and here comes the chant down guys are my boozer the thirty two year old south african looked bigger and heavier with experience also playing in his side although the first seconds of the fight showed it was the russian speed and accuracy what would really matter. around one so my boozer thunderstruck by king and the referee counting to the first note down. the overcoming of out there had been put him down in the first round and was pretty hard punch but was a manage to stand up and continue the fight he was still dangerous he gave his all to defend a title or break the defending champ and kept moving forward but could do nothing against the of speed the russians sold for kept hitting my mother with some bitter pill to swell remaining nearly untouchable himself my boobs are clearly lost the

second round and the next one saw him fighting for survival first on the first the i saw every single punch he threw he missed and i hit back in atlanta that i was much faster and that's what gave me the edge because it was all over early in the fourth round when i was going to do if his opponent with a short and devastating left hook the the south africans courage carried him through but he was far from recovered. and marriage changes the ropes so that people would be of the nation that job in style and no he mumbles a whole lot of us that has i'm really happy now we've done a great job preparing for this fine and all those hard training sessions paid off for me and for the crown of the. figure when still life in the man in the that's the way how people are but at the established his name in the books in zero eight the twenty nine year old king captured his first ground and one can suspect any
