12:30 pm
good evening from kevin owen here in moscow it's half past eight pm moscow time the top stories from r.t. wiki leaks strikes again this time by starting to publish over two million e-mails from syrian politicians government departments and companies that date back years and website promises the documents would expose the double standards of a number of countries. within syria itself violence s. continues to escalate with dozens were killed across the country the last three days but civilians were injured battles of the road to live through the conflict with a lack of basic goods and soaring food prices. and gray slums of british prime minister of the threat suggesting he could block greek immigrants and other people from the
12:31 pm
euro zone from entering the u.k. the rules demand the free movement of citizens but britain fears a wave of economic migrants from struggling states. we hear if international efforts to finally bring an end to syria's woes are aiming in the right directions at least as r.t. talks to the country's vice premier who is also an opposition member. tappan was a. minister syria is about to get a new government one of the key challenges it faces. i would say there are economic social and political issues they all relates to various aspects of the overall economic crisis in syria will it is crucial therefore to begin a national reconciliation process as soon as possible and we should address our critical economic vulnerabilities and identify a basis for managing comprehensive social and economic reform and i'm all for
12:32 pm
making a change towards democracy but these are crucial challenges in essence syria needs fundamental democratic reform. the deputy prime minister for economic affairs you should how do you assess the current economic and social situation in syria and yet they in. last year's crisis demonstrated the degree of public resentment for the government's liberal economic policies which had been building up since two thousand and three these policies have resulted in rising social tension and eventually sparked a political implosion which we are witnessing to this day by presently we're seeing a new stage of escalation in the political crisis has resulted in a deteriorating economic situation which is affected various parts of syrian society this forces us to consider the impact of an economic downturn on our social fabric and our political landscape that we're looking at two categories of economic challenges today there are immediate issues that we need to address right away and
12:33 pm
then there are the overall faults within the syrian economy which require a new format and a new structure for the government and the state in general addressing each of these issues requires different time frames we should not deny that economic issues have an impact on the overall political situation in our country the entire syrian society should be involved in tackling these challenges of this is what our peoples will party has been saying since last november calling for national reckon so. and advocating a government of national unity with the leaders of the popular front for change and liberation at the people's will party believe that the present cabinet is not your national unity government in essence but we will see it as a step forward in establishing such a government today that the government brings together several opposition groups that have agreed to participate in its work but we should keep the doors open for all opposition forces willing to put an end to violence and bloodshed this will in turn help us expand the representation in government for all the opposition groups
12:34 pm
who genuinely wants to bring about national reconciliation and to get the country out of its present crisis it will follow. the story and jihad in as a spokesperson for one of the opposition groups do you believe the opposition could possibly consolidate what the main what i might have a. little more. before i answer this question let me ask you is there a need for such consolidation we are moving towards a pluralistic democratic society would you like the opposition to become more of a unilateral regime. should it become similar to the present regime which is unilateral in political terms i actually asked myself this question and i think the opposition should cool warden ate their stance at the most but there is no need for institutional consolidation the opposition should try to come up with a common agenda the problem is that a part of the syrian opposition still has the mindset of
12:35 pm
a commanding party and this is dominated serious political landscape for the last few decades. i think that only over time can this kind of mentality be abandoned from this perspective we believe the recent conference in cairo was illegitimate for a number of reasons first of all it did not include the true national opposition and more importantly the popular protest movement who did not attend this meeting a popular protest movement the number one factor in syrian politics today and it does not recognize political parties as such parties have little to no influence on the popular movement made with that in mind how can we recognize the conference as legitimate when it does not represent the popular movement along with a significant share of the opposition secondly the cairo conference or what had been convened at the initiative of mr now. secretary general of the arab league but the league itself has been compromised acting as a warring party in syrian infighting syrian patriots have lost faith in the arab
12:36 pm
league's impartiality and we regard it as a western policy to be used against syria when the west has sought to interfere in syria's domestic affairs willing to go as far as a military intervention in order to impose its will upon our country the way they have already done in iraq and libya any efforts to consolidate opposition groups are bound to fail whether it is the istanbul to or any other pointless conference if a major national opposition party misperceives the actual situation in the country it will not be able to play a leading role in resolving the crisis in syria instead it will only aggravates the split in society. you've mentioned the conference in geneva what do you think of its result. for that and what about. the i believe the geneva conference has demonstrated a new alignment of powers whereby nolan opposes russian and chinese initiatives anymore in my opinion the conference has come up with a positive solution for syria primarily because it does not provide for military
12:37 pm
intervention and it only focuses on a political solution to the another important outcome of the conference because it's assertion that the only acceptable remedy for the conflict is national dialogue and the establishment of a national unity government. as for alone charging one is a task all the sound national forces in syria and now is exactly the right time for it with his walk that was your heard. a lot of french foreign minister laurent fabius has announced that the final document at the geneva conference dictates that president assad should step down at the same time russian foreign minister sergei lavrov says the document does not provide for absolute resignation how would you explain this conflicting interpretation you mother got you can have that the bargain. linda would have us from a diplomatic perspective the text of the final document allows each of the parties
12:38 pm
to interpret it in its own way none of the parties is either willing or capable of making concessions as far as governance in syria is concerned therefore each party regards the document based on its stance viz a viz syria but notwithstanding this difference in interpretation the document is definitely a step forward and we should build on it in the future we will. and it was only made any year the situation in syria has steadily deteriorated in recent times what will the new syrian government do to address this rising violence and bloodshed and to keep check on armed groups activities across the country has. our movement and our party believe that a military option will not work in syria and none of the conflicting parties can resolve the situation i military needs none of the international regional or local
12:39 pm
stakeholders can win in this conflict but they can all lose the only way of achieving national reconciliation this is to pursue nationwide dialogue and establish a national unity government will work for all continued bloodshed is understandably impeding this process the new government and its new national reconciliation ministry send a clear message to all the patriotic forces both inside and outside syria telling them we are willing to follow a new path one requiring us to put an end to military confrontation and seek a political solution to the crisis in syria is in a difficult situation in social and economic terms it has been isolated which primarily hurts the people of syria rather than the assad government therefore the attitude of the west in isolating syria is pure hypocrisy and there. claim that the embargo is damaging the assad regime is own substantiated we believe that once we
12:40 pm
manage to bring about national reconciliation and restore unity we will be able to end the blockade the way it has happened time and again throughout history both in syria and in other parts of the world. oil industry claims the process is perfectly sweet. singsong says that it brings nothing but clean power and comfort. but the environment knows better and the industry isn't telling the whole story. they're goddamn why. they're here to. make as much money as they
