ten thirty pm in moscow the zero r.t. headline the muslim brotherhood's mohamed morsi has been named as egypt's next leader is the live pictures of thousands cheering in cairo's tahrir square in the country's first post new book post mubarak presidential. turkey denies by insisting its military jet shot down by syrian forces friday was on a training flight as nato said to investigate. and the world's top whistleblower waits for his fate to be decided by ecuador after he requested asylum at the country's

london embassy. up next a can of perspective on the syrian uprising from a senior aide to the country's president. on a political and media advisor to the syrian leader gives us the inside view from 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 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 that it is not 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 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 crisis it's not true that would then give access to foreign journalists hundreds of

freshened written of the game hundreds of. foreign journalists from all over the world from india china. 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 that there are. tens a least of the channels. 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 your. religious man 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 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 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 be who are helping the terrorists to kill peaceful people like you say i think even though there were the you i know that say that and it's very.

different the group we don't know who these people are we've been not to who they belong to my leadership i mean. they were and forces and they would say to you this is the most the 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 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 their safety because the syrian people are good to do we 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 indonesia i don't think that is that is possible in a sense because if you take what the sudan and 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 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 were to weigh actions but it

carefully and i feel that there is 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 era 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 own with scum with the 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 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 has a change. the political scene and 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 look or see it to say to the british people you should move camera or is it. 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 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 their army and police people we are the ones who are losing it and when they talk

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 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 they 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 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 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 there's no problem so there's

a humanitarian corridor open in homes right now there is no humanitarian code or i don't know where the negotiations are but there there is no need for human with it and call it god 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 now 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 invitations of brookings and throw money institute the go on the give a lecture there i didn't 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 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 anywhere and the word so their countries as many as of the like because they don't have any of them my asset is the 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 means nothing to me books of mine are being sold in the united states i thought a duke university i thought at least 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 to put my name on a side trip 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. you know.

final group game while italy have started to strike america by the tally up front ahead of the in art of a new chief the winner of this match will play germany in the semifinals but it is nil nil at the national stadium in kiev the gang just a couple of minutes old. it's the end of the road for france they flew back home on sunday after losing to numeric quarter final to spain plays heading to the check in desk with their heads bowed there had been reports of divisions in the french camp after their loss to sweden and they went out with a whimper in the last date i knew a few disappointed fans turned up at the airport to see them off. oh my god it was in stark contrast to the joy spain fans are feeling at the moment delighted with their team's performance which so as long as those double sink the french and they're there ready to face the portuguese on wednesday. pain is moving forward in this tournament on wednesday we will be back here to play

portugal and we're hoping to stand on our own older home as well and to play in the final on the first of july in q. portugal trained on sunday striker held up are still good there was a notable absentee injury reeling him out of the rest of the tournament and neither is the likely is likely to be his replacement again with spain and the portuguese promise they won't compromise their attacking style against the world and european champions. but our school no call in there what can we do to be displeased by keep united as we have been so far to be just like ourselves which is that we would plea just because we're going to face a world champion in the european champions do we have to take control of the game we are going to take control of the games that when we have to press we are going to press that we are going to play our game we are going to try and it's with all the respect that we have officially lost mort's away from the football and ferrari's fernando alonso has won an action packed grand prix in valencia the

spanish victory enough to put him on top of the drivers' championship an incredible drive saw him work his way up from eleventh place on the grid and he then took full advantage when red bull sebastian vettel who had started on pole stood on the track midway through the race to be right in the latest in the second one marco schumacher completed the podium after news how morton and pastor maldonado collided on the penultimate that is they will place afterwards alongside described his victory as one of the best of his career. feeling very proud to be spun his bottom of the moment and winning in a spin this race is probably the most. intense so far more since nothing may be compared to his one. elsewhere sebastian has won the rally of new zealand this is third straight victory and fifth of the season and stretches his lead at the top of the driver's standings to thirty eight points from security to heaven and did not win any of the seven special stages on the final day but he was

still almost thirty seconds faster overall than have been in finland always but a soul who completed the podium in these four twenty one year old russian you can you know if you call forty four there are six stops left on the world rally championship calendar. when tennis championships start on monday and it will see world number one maria sharapova in action on center court against the unseeded and is to see it early on of are going for back to back grand slam titles after winning the french open other ties there was even this williams face russian you mean the best for time grand slam winner kim clijsters is also in action in the belgian is adamant she will retire at the end of this season and this will be her last wimbledon but she does face a tough test against the eighteen seed and even the young conviction will be tough yankovic's a you know the tough opponent we've had some really tough battles in the past and i think some of my. one of the matches that are played played against you in the city

in the finals of sydney is one of the the matches that always remember as one of the fun as much as i've played in the most intense ones as well so i look forward to it. well the first game on center court was the men's number one novak djokovic to start the defense of his wimbledon title he's up against a tricky opponent very spaniard one colace ferrero has reached the last day twice before but djokovic is confident and looking forward to the task. realize my dreams last year i played a perfect tournament. i like the conditions here i have been several occasions in semifinals so. you know i'm confident before the start of the world as well elsewhere the third seed wrote you for. he's up against spain's alba argentina is there but now down the employees the eighty donkey tips are a bitch. and plays against britain's all of the gold is. now a new world record in the decathlon has been set at the u.s.

olympic trials ashton eaton beating the previous mark by thirteen points however reigning olympic champion brian clay failed 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 released 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 year they're working a long time to come out and try and put something together and 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 now the london olympics will be the first summer games for russia's open water swim anika siver she surprised many by making the squad after bigger names fail to qualify but she is determined to prove her worth as are koreans now reports. with only five weeks to go until the olympics

were 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 way was a bit of relief from a grueling schedule but says she was hoping for a podium sport in london. 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 there's a lot of expectations on her shoulders there woman swimming marathon made its debut at the olympics four years ago in beijing and russia as larry said. she's since retired producer is determined to take up the mantle and believes hope of variations will put her in good stead yeah you know i have already tested the olympic venue wines and it was quite alright but it always everything will depend on the write down they want to maybe cold but i have experience in such conditions and have competed in cold water before while those joyful there's heartbreak for

a fellow russian swimmer you get to reynosa all over so 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 it's really out of the gullible unfortunately the watch in portugal was very cold of course when you 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 he an amateur a swimmer 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 a couple just women so i come every year it's an important part of my my training calendar. fantastic and absolutely fantastic a bit more water good organization lots of other swimmers swimming has always been

a popular and successful sport for russia however the last summer games in beijing in a country only claimed four medals of more than a hundred i'm all 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. party mostly region. the sport and i have a time to tell you it is england. at the moment in the last quarter final at the european championships about ten minutes of being played there i would have the full time school on expletive.
