hello again this is the r t news channel the headlines with me kevin owen now strikes again this time by starting to publish over two million e-mails from syrian politicians government departments and companies years promises the documents will expose the double standards of a number of countries within syria meantime violence escalating with dozens more killed across the country in the last three days but civilians are ensuring battles of their own to to live throughout the conflict with a lack of basic goods and soaring food prices. and greece slams the british prime minister over threats suggesting he could block greek immigrants and other people from the euro zone from entering the u.k.
2:31 pm
the rules demand the free movement of citizens but britain is fearing a wave of economic migrants from struggling states. next we hear if the international efforts to finally bring an end to syria's woes are a make in the right directions at least as r.t. talks 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 for making
2:32 pm
a change towards democracy but these are crucial challenges in essence syria needs fundamental democratic reform. the deputy prime minister for economic affairs how do you assess the current economic and social situation in syria. 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 then there are the overall faults within the syrian economy which require
2:33 pm
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 this challenge. this is what our people's will party has been saying since last november calling for national reconciliation 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 who genuinely wants to bring about national reconciliation and get the country out
2:34 pm
of its present crisis it will follow. as a mystery. jihad in as a spokesperson for one of the opposition groups do you believe the opposition could possibly consolidate what the main one. had. 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 ask 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 a commanding party and this is dominated serious political landscape for the last
2:35 pm
few decades. i think that only over time can this kind of mentality be abandoned from this perspective of this is we believe the recent conference in cairo was illegitimate for a number of reasons first 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 the 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 league's impartiality and we regard it as
2:36 pm
a western policy to be used against syria with 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 scenario or any other pointless conference if a major national opposition party misperceived 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 the stores of the i believe the geneva conference has demonstrated a new alignment of powers whereby known 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
2:37 pm
intervention and it only focuses on a political solution to the another important outcome of the conference is its assertion that the only acceptable remedy for the conference is national dialogue and the establishment of a national unity government. as for alone charging one is a task for all of the sound national forces in syria and now is exactly the right time for it with that was what was your heard yet if i don't see a lot of french foreign minister laurent fabius has announced that the final document 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 ourselves resignation how would you explain this conflicting interpretation you mother got you can have that the bargain fit the fear. from a diplomatic perspective the text of the final document allows each of the parties
2:38 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 and 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'll zoom. and it was only made any year the situation in syria has steadily deteriorated in recent months i am a new syrian government doing to address this rising violence and bloodshed and to keep check on armed groups activities across the country has a poor. 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 stakeholders can win in this conflict but they can all lose the only way of
2:39 pm
achieving national reconciliation this is to pursue nationwide dialogue and establish a national unity government will work what will continue 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 manage to bring about national reconciliation and restore unity we will be able to
