asylum of the countries what do the embassy at the end of may the u.k. supreme court rejected an appeal against julian the saunders extradition to sweden where he's wanted for questioning over claims of sexual assault. mexicana perspective on the syrian uprising from a senior aide to the country's president. ben political and media advisor to syria's leader gives us the view from inside the assad regime. thank you. for saying that siobhan political and media advisor to syria's president it's great to have you with us here thank you very much i'm happy to be here so it's now official u.n. had a 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 put it in the three we put this statement saying it is math really but 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 whom 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 crisis it's true that we've been given access to foreign journalists hundreds of freshened written in 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 the journalists are not given access to syria. but also there are. tens a pleased of the trial and 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. are just

a man and 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 cause thing. lives of our people costing us the hard morning as a way of life you know we often hear especially it lately to 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 and really the known 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 you surely have your own version not official but your own version who made these people be who are helping the terrorists to kill peaceful people like you say i think even the observers of the you and say that in a very. different a group we don't know who these people are we've been not to who don't belong in the 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 that observers have made many statements saying that the syrian government corporate with us they did not stop the mission this off fund the mission we all

saw fear for their safety because the syrian people are. also afraid that some of their brothers 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 indonesia i don't think that is that is possible in a sense because if you take what the sudan and prices and there are all. fresh on china would the 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 or in yemen or you look would 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 fully 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 live from iraq also do you think that scenario 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 that military strike doesn't the old was come with the flow or the

result doesn't achieve the best result that they hoped for i think the world is the film and i think. it's no longer one polar system i think russia and china now have a 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 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 done talking about syria is it the will proceed to say to the british people you should move camera or does it do . 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 into 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 syria's most troubled place homes is not possible is because hearing government is afraid along with the humanitarian aid will come something else is that true that not true or that we be incorporating

with the human that they're in agencies but until now we haven't seen anything of the humanitarian aid arriving to syria we corporate 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 the 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 least 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 to me 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 and invitations of brookings and throw

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 through all people like this but i don't like to be treated that way and i don't have to go through that and i see 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 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 the side of not me who should

be about this should be about saying a shove and thank you very much for this interview thank you very much thank you. you know. the official. told time for me thank you sam. video. and. a. t.v. . it is to get the maximum political pulse of. the material is he journalism.

we want to present. something else. the muslim brotherhood's mob and mercy named as egypt's next president winning fifty one percent of the vote these are live pictures of thousands cheering in cairo's tahrir square and the country's first presidential poll. turkey denies spying insisting its military jet shot down by syrian forces friday was on a training flight as nato said to investigate syria maintains it was just protecting its sovereignty as the plane crossed into its territory. and the world's top whistleblower waiting for his fate to be decided by ecuador after he asked for asylum at the country's london embassy at the end of may the u.k. supreme court rejected an appeal against extradition to sweden where he's wanted

for questioning over sexual assault and here is up next with all the latest sports news stay with us. hello again thanks for joining me and these are the headlines stunning victory and i knew a long battle through the field to grab a memorable win at the european graham parade. last ready for battling them prepared to take on a depleted italy in the last quarter final of the european championships. and attacking promise portugal back to take it again to spain after the holders being france to set up and i've been semifinal. for first ferrari's fernando alonso has won an action packed grand prix in valencia the spaniards victory enough to put him on top of the drivers' championship an incredible drive saw him work his way up from eleven from the grid and then he took full advantage when red bull sebastian

vettel him started on pole stalled on the track midway through the race could be reichen and of lotus finish second while michael schumacher completed the podium after lewis hamilton and pastor maldonado collided on the penultimate last day for third place afterwards along as i described his victory as one of the best of his career. really really proud to be spun his boredom of the moment and winning in a spin this. probably the best oh you are. more suze nothing movie compared to this one now just around two hours time the last quarter final at the european championships gets underway between england and italy in kiev thousands of fans have been gathering in the ukrainian capital throughout the day england supporters haven't seen their side reach the semifinals of a major tournament since euro ninety six but the team is confident they can end that barren run against italy this evening with more from the two camps here's kate

partridge. 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 such a different mentality because saying is that. stage who was in the group stages you would had a element of not held involved because you realize you didn't win your game or get a result in your game you could not get through to the final stages i don't think this could change our mentality particularly we must just make 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 the atmosphere has been in the squad and the confidence and belief that you know it's just important that 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 defend georgia and matilda tiago mata is a doubt coach has already from delhi is aware of hodgson staal to the englishman managed into milan prandelli what name his team until an hour before kick off as the aim to support england's tactics. we have watched all of ignorance 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 play in the play to high tempo and

like to put the food we need to set the tempo 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 know 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 teammates i hope they're going to lose and may bring on big strike at andy carroll wall italy have targeted wayne rooney as england's danger man if he and ballots tell you 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 at all. kiev ukraine. so both teams hoping to extend their stay but it is the end of the road for france they flew back home on sunday after losing two nil in their quarter final to spain players heading to the check in desk with their heads. been report that had been reported divisions in the french camp after their loss to sweden and they went with their win in the last eight only a few disappointed fans turned up at the airport to see them off. and that is in stark contrast to the joy spain fans are feeling at the moment delighted with their team's performance which saw a shabby alonzo's double sink their french and they're ready to face the portuguese on wednesday oh. god is moving forward in this tournament on wednesday we will be back here to board to go and we're hoping to stay. home as well and to play in the final on the july enqueue portugal trained on sunday

strike a hell of a notable absentee injury ruling him out of the rest of the tournament and is expected to be the replacement for him with the game against spain in the portuguese promise they won't compromise their attacking star against the world and european champions. with a school in the in there what can we do to keep united as we have been so far to be just like yourselves we would just because we're going to be in india european champions do we have to take control of the game we are going to take control of the games that we have to chris we are going to address that we are going to clear a game we are going to join in it with all the respect that we have to show me what's more it's now away from football and a new world record in the decathlon has been set at the us olympic trials ashton eaton beating the previous mark by thirteen points however reigning olympic champion brian clough a fail to finish in the top three and that means he won't be on the plane to london

. so i just i feel very fortunate to be in this position. i don't want to be like. treated super special or anything like that because i think it's just in large part because the guys you compete with next you've been working a long time to come out and try and put something together i think there was a lot of a lot of hope and expectation there and when you see that kind of all go out the window it's pretty disappointing the london olympics will be the first summer games for russia's open water swim and it could see if she surprised many by making the squad after beginning to fail to qualify but she is determined to prove her worth are some good as this report. with only five weeks to go until the olympics took part in a lighter training session this week and this open water event in moscow region allowed to choose to swim alongside the stars for goose away was

a bit of relief from a grueling schedule but says she was hoping for a podium sport in london close in most of the source i was very very happy to and the right to compete in the olympics it's a dream for any athlete i think as well my expectations out really hope for the best in london and i'll try to make the podium and to get a good result she was there's a lot of expectations on her shoulders they woman swimmin marathon made its debut at the olympics four years ago in beijing and russia as larry said i won gold she's since retired but looser is determined to take up the mantle and believes her preparations will put her in good stead he added i have already tested the olympic venue winds and it was quite alright but it always everything will depend on the write down the water may be colored that but i have experience in such conditions and have competed in cold water before while there's joy for her there's heartbreak for a fellow russian swimmer you katrina sylvestre i was also taking part in this weekend's

event she was one of the favorites to represent her country in london but failed to qualify during trials in portugal two weeks ago and it still hurts when unfortunately the what in portugal was very cold of course we knew this in advance and tried to prepare for it but my muscles just couldn't cope with the conditions so it was a big disappointment for me but i need to look forward and come out of it stronger . well hell presence was definitely appreciated in the mostly region keen amateur a swimmers makes with professionals in an event designed to combine sport and entertainment what brought me here is we've got a fantastic opportunity to do well to swimming so i come every year it's an important part of my my swimming calendar. fantastic and absolute for. past to give it more water good organization or lots of other swimmers swimming has always been a popular and successful sport for russia however the last summer games in beijing

in the country only claimed four medals out of more than one hundred or more for and events like this a whole can to encourage more to take up the sport and perhaps achieve the highest level in the future. all right see more school region. finally there is a two way tie for the lead going into the final day of golf's travis championship in connecticut englishman brian davis an american role in fact you're a two shots clear at the summit both players are looking for their first win on the p.g.a. tour davies to you know carded a sixty nine on the penultimate day which puts him on twelve and over all along side him is that you hit a five under par sixty five and this chip to set up birdie typical of his short game on saturday. that's the sport's came to us.
