as greek finance is it its nationalist reaping the benefits of chaos with race hate crimes on the rise human rights watch has urged talents to take urgent action. sorry for the mismatch there well next year in our team we talked to one of syria's opposition leaders for his vision on how to end the bloodshed in the country that's now a special interview. might have a because if you're joining us now we have michele head of the syrian democratic forum delegation and what is the outcome of your talks with russian foreign minister sergei lavrov. both. the immediate and come of the talks was pre-determined by the fact that you have on the one hand a delegation from a country where a full blown war is raging and a great power on the other you can hardly expect a specific outcome at the essentially we wanted russia to hear or say because we

represent the oppressed people of syria we want to serve the people of syria we protect their interests and we presented our position i think we were frank and convincing we told russian officials will be needed to hear from various opposition groups in syria for the syrian crisis to be resolved russian assume a well balanced stance russia plays a major role but it should not be part of the problem russia has a long history of friendship with the syrian people the people of syria expect russia to help them gain freedom and overcome the current deadlock the syrians want russia to take a fear approach to be as fair as possible precious and not side with the forces that will surely lose in the struggle that is the current regime foreign minister lavrov said russia was not committed to the current regime in syria that had alternative solutions leveled made a few remarks about the lack of harmony among opposition groups and mentioned arms deliveries and other military issues we responded very openly and frankly to all these concerns our delegation said that the opposition has decided to present

a common front of the keitel conference and all opposition groups in syria have signed the papers are a transition period and on the future of syria as regards the arms deliveries we have pointed out that the procrastination of the city a crisis makes it difficult to resolve the problems of arms the sooner that is a fair solution to the crisis that would meet the demands of the city in people the sooner it will be possible to cut the supply routes for arms deliveries by standing in the way of resolving this crisis. those who are concerned about the arms made in the interest of those using those arms. do you think the cairo conference convinced moscow that the syrian opposition is united. at that i don't think so not anymore but i think moscow is on the way to understanding the real situation with the struggle underway in syria the problem is russia looks at the situation from the viewpoint of the ruling regime like it old lover of it should look at the ruling regime through the prism of the current problems these

problems are bigger than the regime bigger than the opposition and even bigger than severe these are international regional can are big problems they cannot be resolved unless a conflict between the regime and the opposition is resolved the crisis cannot be resolved unless there is international consensus on the way it should be resolved in the way that would take severe to democracy through a transition period as five powers including russia have agreed in geneva this is why russia's role is very important russia can help resolve the city of conflict democratically but this will lead syria out of the current deadlock and put an end to violence bloodshed and destruction in syria what is happening today benefits israel and possibly the u.s. if this destruction goes on and the ruling regime wins it will rule over ruin and suffer a strategic defeat if the opposition wins it will inherit the country in an unmanageable condition in any case it is necessary to stop this violence stop this bloodshed all the efforts taken at the international and pan out of big levels in order to an end

to the violence only make the ruling regime all the more harsh events and see them eventually planted in such a way that russia will lose as will the people of syria. how do you think syria has become an arena where international and regional players like each other. definitely and it was the ruling regime which turned into such an arena from the very first day of the popular uprising began just a few days after it started i ruled that the regime is trying to. the problem through violence from the top but the time will come when the people resolve it themselves by trying to resolve it the ruling regime surely you are ready to delegate this rate to anybody as long as it is not you are willing to take this problem to a regional or international level not letting the people of syria take care of it i wrote this less than a month after the uprising began but they insisted on resolving the problem their way and now they face the consequences they face the consequences of their approach syria is being destroyed street after street city after city village after village

what kind of solution is that in order for a small group of people to remain in power the whole country is being destroyed will you be prepared to embrace moscow's proposal and engage in dialogue with a regime that we are ready for dialogue with any groups within the regime that would agree to promote democracy in syria. could that possibly include president assad. or five he doesn't agree to it and we don't want to negotiate with bashar al assad three weeks ago he officially declared war on the people sitting at first he had formed a new government that included a ministry for national reconciliation then he declared that every effort of this ministry and in fact of the entire government effectively contributions to the rising violence so how can you have dialogue with a man who has declared war on his own people we are willing to negotiate with any party that would agree to reestablish city as a democracy democracy is our principle condition we are not going to play games and dialogue should not be

a game our country is falling apart and we are not going to mask this breakout by staging a dialogue. an f.m. in vatican this statement suggests that all of position groups are united in rejecting a dialogue with bashar al assad is there a relevant provision for that in the document of national accord with the body. it is there in the transition plan which provides for two stages within the trans. p.d.s. stage one shall actually start with the pools and president assad and stays to show include reforms that will make it a democracy such as appointing a new government of national unity electing a new parliament and adopting a new constitution. are you confident that the revolution in syria will not end up an islamic revolution. that. we have emphasized in our deliberations with foreign minister laughter of the there is a strong tendency for that and the longer the crisis the more radicalized it becomes but the more they press the starker the opposition from the syrian people

who will not allow their country to go fundamentalist just as it won't allow arms shipments to continue. what about them back here on. what do you believe it is possible that moscow might host a delegation that would represent all the syrian opposition in the foreseeable future. i hope this will happen and even if it does not represent everybody at least should represent the majority. what do you think about the recent split within the military in syria is it evidence that some of the big shots in power have realized they were jeem is doomed or are they still convinced that this government is doing the right thing. first of all it shows the government's reliance and violence has proven a failure secondly it shows you cannot break the spirit of the people and those with the regime have just realized this it has become apparent that our country

needs a different solution finally it shows that peaceful protests by the people will eventually bring about the kind of a come the people see as desirable. i said what about the alleged involvement of iran is that mere speculation or other specifics facts to back this up that none of your had of this is not just speculation when i had told her many declares that iran will not permit a toppling of the syrian regime and this is not speculation he sees iran as one of the parties to the crisis he says that a collapse of the assad regime will be a defeat suffered by iran but i hope it will be a meanie who will get defeated in syria i said and you played a very active role in the recent conference in paris whereas in the past you used to be rather reserved in respect of international processes of this kind does this mean that you do support international intervention and out of the way i'm eating at yemen that it does not mean that at all the parties conference was not intended to make military intervention possible it was meant to support the people of syria

i did not assert the syrian national council as a sole legitimate representative of the syrian people what urged us to take an active part in the meeting was the realisation that the only parties represented in its deliberations will be those who come to the table certainly the conference does represent somebody but we need to be clear that no single group is capable of toppling a despotic regime such as the syrian government especially if they haven't got the public on their side and now we have some people based outside syria committing clear with their the opposition and the people stand behind them what it really is is a kind of creature of politics and an insult to the people the syrian national council was merely one of the parties not light at the conference they should realize that they are but one group within the opposition and they are not entitled to speak on behalf of the entire opposition and they seem to be starting to realize this however with great difficulty i say this was michel a kilo member of the syrian democratic platform head of the syrian opposition

you very much marina welcome to the sports headlines here's what's coming up headhunting had quality over fabio capello harry redknapp and the ten others make the sure lester if i stick out the cards as manager of russia's football team. olympic dreams or french open champion maria sharapova is set to become russia's first female flag bearer of the ending ceremony of the london gang. making a splash l.t. catches up with one of russia's leading hopes in the fall ahead of those london olympics. but first the russian football union has unveiled its thirteen man short list for the role of national coach former barcelona boss pep guardiola is just one of the star names on the our refuse radar the spaniard is currently without a job after leaving the catalans last month listed bossa to three straight domestic

titles and two champions league crowns during his four seasons in charge the forty one year old is just one name on the shortlist of thirteen candidates the russian football you need also plan to approach forming the manager fabio capello the sixty six year old italian stepped down as england boss two months before the start of your own twenty twelve all former tottenham boss harry redknapp is also thought to be a target as well as for my talian world cup winning coach much allan late pate. well one man not in contention for the role is diego maradona undoubtedly one of the greatest footballers of all time but really he had to prove himself as a manager the argentinian has been fired by dubai club after a disappointing domestic season maradona has been in the job since may two thousand and eleven almost a year after quitting his country's national team however results haven't lived up to the club's expectations the legend guided them to eight in the league failing to qualify for the asian champions in a while the final straw was the team's failure to win

a second tier fixture against behind our back despite winning the first leg three one. now maria sharapova is set to become russia's first female flag bearer at the opening ceremony for the rapidly approaching london olympics sharapova is the front runner for the role after winning the french open title last month with that victory the twenty five year old completed a career grand slam of all four major titles her world on the free will be looking to add an olympic gold to that collection made against almost four hundred fifty athletes will compete for russia in thirty four sports as the nation targets a top three finish over. libya that would push new presto it's going to be a tough lympics because our rivals are very strong in the u.c. in china other period new favorite series but the host nation and many more countries will also be vying for medals still we expect our team to keep great britain and be and finish in the top three in the medal stables well elsewhere

superstars of the n.b.a. to begin the defense of their impact title as team usa continue their preparations for the games the likes of le bron james kobe bryant and carmelo anthony who put through their paces in last vegas the trio were part of the gold winning squad in beijing four years ago the usa are looking to repeat that success and claim a record fourteenth title. you know we're really looking forward to the challenge and not only that but one of the four to support. the u.s. after. it's a family it's a family thing and we're going to go out there and try to represent our country the best way we know how to support each other in the process you know we also need to know that that's going. to be the lover in the you know there are no other place that you would like to do the money or want to best players or so you know from well continuing the olympic thing and it's not just america's basketball players who are stepping up their training all teams michael crab genk i was caught up with

russian swimmer and medal hopeful nikita in south. nikita logan siv made a name for himself when he was part of the four by two hundred meter relay team that won silver at the beijing olympics since then he's racked up a bunch of medals at both the european and world championships making him one of russia's bright stars in swimming but nikita admits the upcoming games in london are far different prospect than those in beijing back in two thousand and eight just finished the sentence over the wall but this time around everything is different because i'm twenty three years old now not nineteen years old my whole approach to the sport has changed so i've become more professional started watching my diet do additional training in the gym but expectation is much higher now than four years ago honestly it's much harder now that's not to say nikita shies away from hard work he believes a good start to the day can make any daunting task seem like fun to watch our main goal is to complete all the tasks you set out and

a lot depends on how you begin your day how you started it you need to get up in a good mood train well and enjoy yourself while doing it and then you can sleep with a sound conscience but it's all about the start of this bite from the insanely large with ten hour training sessions that every olympic champion aspiring one that is has to go through nowadays thinking to also had his days in the run up to the olympics meticulously planned out but for a little time playing thing else when you will know he has a lot of girlfriends but so far he hasn't introduced me to any of them when he finds the right girl i'm sure he'll give us the opportunity to meet her but for now he's only got eyes for the olympics and it seems both mom and son see eye to eye on this particular issue that just was that right now i guess you could say i don't have a social life you have to sacrifice everyone for the sake of the olympics i do have one free day a week where i can take my mind off swimming i like to hang out with friends drive my car and it's difficult but i'll rest once i've accomplished what i set out to do

nikita qualified for the lunch. lympics after clinching silver at russia's national championships he will now be competing in the men's one hundred meter freestyle event as well as the four by one hundred meter and four by two hundred meter relay events and he fancies russia's chances. if we just look at our hundred meter swimmers you can see that four of them have posted times that are in the top ten best results this year and i believe it's a great relay team that can challenge for the gold at the olympics so the pressure is on for nicky to logan's have to perform well at the games and many will be hoping he gets up on the right foot when he wakes up in london like a franco party. now to boxing where the trash talking has begun as julio cesar chavez jr prepares to put his w.b.c. middleweight title on the line against martinez go head to head in las vegas on september fifteenth two division world champion martinez is looking to reclaim the

w.b.c. crown however while. the current incumbent chavez junior eleven years younger than his opponent has secured thirty two knockouts of his forty six premier wins martinez believes he has what it takes to walk away with the belt. if his father wants to recognize his own son he should take a picture now because after the fight he won't recognise him i'm really going to be him up not only will i recoup my middleweight championship i will demonstrate that i'm one of the best pound for pound fighters in the world. i would like to tell you that on september fifteenth i'm going to show you what type of fighter i am who i am and have no doubt i'm going to be the winner i don't have any doubts about that i would like to ask him we are going to go. now to cricket where one of the finest working keepers of his generation has been forced to retire following a freak accident south african mark boucher ruptured his left eye ball after being

struck by a belt the thirty five year old is the most capped loveman in history and was due to play his one hundred fiftieth test against england later this summer. we all know much as mentor is as a person but i think it speaks for itself i mean i think he was in line to achieve his hundred fiftieth test match you know thousand dismissals in the game you know and so many other world records and it went with that so you know if you add that to the type of person that he was you know he'll go down as one of the greats in the game and certainly one of the greats and so african cricket. but i think now we just more worried about mark a person getting in through the situation now the sport of cycling has once again been marred by allegations of die. a friend says tour de france competitor may do gregorio has been suspended by his team can feed after being arrested by french police the twenty six year old was arrested at his team hotel on choose day a rest day in this year's tour two other men are suspected of supplying the frenchman banned substances were also detained as part of the long term

investigation to go to i was thirty in the race after nine stages but his team say he's been suspended and suspended pending further investigations. make occasional visits the member has been arrested so of course it affects the team this is never something that's easy to live with but this doesn't bring into question the whole team itself and its wish to keep its place and to continue in this tour de france with the support of partners because now finally the annual precursor to the dakar rally continues in russia stage three of the silk way rally from volgograd to estrella was won by christian love l and co-driver pascal or rock heavy overnight rain made life difficult from the outset but leavelle and the rock were able to complete the three hundred three mile course and go against for their second consecutive stage when the forty six year old male dominated from start to finish now has the overruling his ten minutes ahead of his nearest rival heading into

stage four that is the longest of the six stages. that is all from the world of sports now but i'll be back with more for you in a little under two hours time here on r.t. the world weather is next followed by the headlines with marina. there hasn't been anything good on t.v. . it is to get the maximum political impact. before source material is what helps keep journalism honest we.
