they reportedly want to persuade russia to get behind foreign intervention. discuss russia's position on syria with the chairman of the foreign affairs committee in russia's lower house of parliament pushed off joins us next. he think. we are behind. people. there's a civil war going on in syria and it's only the syrian political opposition that's benefiting from it because the opposition took up arms and use violence to achieve their goals i'm convinced that most syrians don't want to have this armed conflict it's a well known fact that the armed opposition groups persecute the christian community in syria thousands of christians were driven out of their towns and villages shia muslims a minority in the country make up thirteen percent also targeted by armed sunni

radicals who represent a majority of the armed opposition minorities are killed as we saw in houla and driven out there is a town in syria called home market right now it is controlled by militants and there are basically no local residents left in hama they have either been killed or fled the city and in this situation the so-called friends of syria and hillary clinton tell us that the armed opposition is fighting for democracy the armed opposition is not fighting for democracy they are fighting for dictatorship and it will be a dictatorship of the forces that they are trying to bring to power to replace assad it's clear by now that it has nothing to do with democracy we can join this conclusion from the way this armed opposition is acting they don't want any negotiations that will they don't want to comply with the amount plan they don't want to create a transitional government they don't want anything what they want is to have all the power in the country i don't quite understand how the u.s.

can support the armed opposition because these are the same kind of people who blow up american soldiers in afghanistan and iraq of the same kind of people who kill nato troops in afghanistan in the same country they're considered enemies of the united states while here they're treated as allies i don't think this insurgency would have any serious prospects without support but they have this external financial and political support they get weapons from outside therefore it's not simply an uprising without a serious. future it's a civil war that split the country in half as a result of external interference. but what are these outside forces actually trying to achieve why would they want to wage war. the us in particular wants to topple the assad regime which has long been considered anti american i believe assad's good relations with russia have also played a role in washington treats any government on friendly terms with russia with a degree of skepticism to put it mildly so they would never rather replicate it

with a regime supportive of the us as for islamist or harvey mana keys in the gulf war like saudi arabia qatar or rain they seek to model the syrian regime after their own they would like to cover all women under black veils lock them up at home strip them of their electoral rights in case of dissent the government would follow the example of bahrain and open fire against his own people this kind of conflict is not unique to syria but with events in bahrain the us simply turned a blind eye because bahrain is america's friend the bit in other words these gulf countries would like the sunnis to take power and establish a religious state just like in the persian gulf and weaken the shias who have been ruling syria as well as iran which is currently regarded as syria's ally saudi arabia qatar and bahrain treat iran with much animosity and see it topple the assad as a way to weaken the shia iran this whole situation has little to do with freedom or

democracy neither saudi arabia nor qatar bahrain or the united arab emirates have any democracy or freedom and most of these states even lack a constitution because it would be ridiculous to assume that these democratic states could bring democracy to syria or the sunni shia confrontation as a very important dimension to this conflict often ignored it plays a major role that you know just recently u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton said. and i go wait russia and china will pay a price because they're helping us progress in blocking it but this is no longer tolerable what's your reaction to the statement. but all i see is that the us is paying a price for what it did in iraq for example the us has lost a lot of its glamour and trust in its foreign policy. i would even go so far as to say that the occupation of iraq prompted a crisis in us dollars at the moment even its staunch allies like turkey or egypt

along with western european countries such as germany the u.k. france so a drastic hike in anti-american sentiment in the us is now paid a price for their occupation of iraq now russia warns against the occupation of syria russia says the syrians who should decide their own future hillary clinton may well the voice or opinion but it's no more than a fantasy i hear she's about to step down as secretary of state so this must be her farewell. this hour the u.s. has clearly demonstrated that it's not going to back down i've syria how far is russia prepared to go. the conference on syria held in geneva in june adopted a roadmap supported by the us russia and china the countries agreed on the need to set up a transition government to launch a dialogue between the government and opposition the participants agreed that it

should be the representatives of the two warring parties that should start these talks this blueprint was backed by russia the us china and france almost every country present so it looks like a sensible solution but as soon as they put their signatures to the plan a war of interpretation broke out hillary clinton said that the plan implies that assad must go russia said the document does not even mention the name of a sad so it has nothing to do with his she. russia insists that the document aims to end violence and start negotiations and all this despite the fact that all the country said they had reached a common understanding it's really strange when with five minutes after you reach an understanding that the parties appear divided indeed the countries did reach some common ground or bit fragile but again they tend to interpret it differently this means a political battle is going on also the rebels said they won't take part in any kind of talks and refuse to be part of

a transitional government i think pro-rebel forces can easily do both signed the geneva plan and then tell the rebels to press on with the old ways that being their fight against the assad government. sources. what does russia. russia insists on the agreements that have already been reached so that the sides should know that the rebels are against the us well if the rebels don't want to join in the cozy asians what can we do about it we can't send in our troops and force them to do so all we can do is to work hard to persuade the u.s. to use their leverage with washington signed the geneva plan to set up a transitional government and therefore the us should now use its influence on the album position in syria to make them comply with it otherwise their policy would look hypocritical making official statements in support of the process of negotiation they in fact more sabotage we could also work to persuade the cabinet

not to renounce their support for negotiations and a transition government that was in fact government has agreed to the plan and it is only the armed opposition the rebels who are against it the u.s. says the rebels are ready to join the negotiations only after sad has resigned this was never mentioned at the geneva conference we never signed any document that would say that syria has to change its regime under the influence of the external players and we say syrians grassed make their decision this is russia's stance russia cannot work miracles however it can and will maintain its tone. not. that many experts say that for the us a war in syria would pave the way to attack iran do you think this scenario is possible and yes. i believe there's been too much speculation on this issue personally i don't quite see how a possible military strike against iran is connected with syria's future amidst the

economic havoc and domestic hostilities syria is clearly out of shape to attack any of us allies in the middle east so should the us decide to wage a war on iran syria will have little to do with. them i think that state could be a strategic base but. there are many u.s. allies in the middle east for example jordan but nobody ever calls jordan a strategic base to attack iran i would not take these speculations seriously to me the issues of iran and syria are poles apart the masochists is thought to be iran's ally so you need a regime change in syria in order to weaken iran but in my opinion this is all very farfetched right now syria can't be a fully fledged ally to iran too focused on its own domestic affairs it can either send its troops abroad will cause any trouble for america's allies in the middle east so the argument that the us needs to crush syria before taking on iran holds

little water you know that the issue of iran is not about its military expansion or aggression it's all about the nuclear weapons that iran may acquire this was a hot topic long before the syria crisis it's been on the agenda for about twelve years with the us strongly against iran going nuclear this alone is enough to prove that the issues of syria is very different from that of iran i would not link these two issues closely together. wealthy british scientists are some time to explain the. market why not. come to. find out what's really happening to the global economy

think that the country was far off now judging by the number of young athletes showcasing their talents lie shows like us and russia skaters have every chance to succeed in international competition thanks to such organizes who keep bringing the level up high it's especially beneficial to our skaters but russia has a freak show on sand if we train and show we really want it we can achieve anything even though the event was obviously dominated by such russian hopefuls there were plenty of foreign talent attracted to the event you too it's lofty status most recently because there's a rule like moscow the city is really beautiful i also like the atmosphere here the people have done a great job with the skate park to them definitely coming back next year the be a mix competition also had plenty of showmen that wowed the crowd five times x. games winner reynolds also had only warm words to say about russia russia for us is so this is my first time actually make it out yeah i see some of it's videos but it's like it's way second to someone talented person like keyboards in bike riders

often on in boise park and saw that these games were on i think it's really great and i'm enjoying myself here but there were of course plenty of hardcore skateboard and be a mic stands on hand and the other stuff every year it gets better and better constantly building new skate parks of course it's all more developed in europe under your house and i think in a couple of years everything will be no school as they are it is truly amazing to see the skate scene and to be a mixed scene evolving as it is here in moscow and in russia as a whole now this skate park behind me was purpose built older generally in games which also shows that moscow is fast becoming a real hot spot for some a sporting events and of course with this turnout that we're seeing today moscow will be giving all the more traditional sporting cities a run for their money in the future like a crushing coke moscow. and that brings us to the end of the sport we've got the weather coming up next here on up to.
