between syria's opposition. the rebels hope to persuade. some of. those already.

reaping the benefits of the. one of syria's opposition leaders for his vision on how to end the bloodshed in the country special. if you're joining us now we have michelle head of the syrian democratic forum delegation what is the outcome of your talks with russian foreign minister sergei lavrov. 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 essentially we wanted russia to hear to 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 but 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 on

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 age 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 as like it old lover of issued 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 syria 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 this will lead city out of the cabin deadlock and put an end to violence bloodshed and destruction in syria what is happening today benefits israel and possibly the us 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 a big levels in order to put an end to the violence only make the ruling regime all the more harsh events and see him 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 fight each other. indefinitely and it was the ruling regime which turned into such an arena from the very first day the popular uprising began just a few days after it started i ruled that the regime is trying to resolve the problem through violence from the top but the time will come when the people will resolve it themselves by trying to reason. of it you the ruling regime surely you are ready to delegate this rate to anybody as long as it is not us 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

what are 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. 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 cabinet 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 establish 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. on f.m.

and that 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. it is there in the transition plan which provides for two stages within the transition period stage one july actually start with the polls and president assad and stays to show include reform. soul makers and democracy such as appointing a new government of national unity electing a new parliament and adopting a new constitution. how. are you confident that the revolution in syria will not end up an islamic revolution. 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. and. 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 it should represent the majority of. 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 the regime is doomed still convinced that their side government is doing the right thing. first of all it shows the government's reliance on 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 specific facts to back this up none of your had of this is not just speculation when i had told her many declares that iran will not commit 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 many who will get defeated in syria i said and you played a very active role in the recent conference in paris where as 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 out yet and 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 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 and later 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 michelle a kilo member of the syrian democratic platform head of a syrian opposition delegation that has been posted by the russian foreign ministry thank you mr kiddo.

paul and the sports. thank you very much rory welcome along the to the world of sports here is what we've got coming up. headhunting. levon all this make sure. as manager of russia's football team. making a splash. with one of russia's leading hopes in the pool ahead of the upcoming london olympics. king of the dust question of the overall lead in the a rally through russia off the dominating stage three. firstly though the russian football union has unveiled its thirteen month short list for the role of national coach former boss. is just one of the star names on the r.f.u. the spying it is currently without

a job after leaving the catalans last month. to three straight domestic titles and two champions league crowns during his four seasons and she. the forty one year old is just one name on the short list of thirteen candidates the russian football union also plan to approach former england manager fabio capello a sixty six year old italian stepped down as england boss two months before the start of euro twenty twelve while former tottenham boss harry redknapp has reportedly ruled himself out of the running. now one man not in contention is the former argentina manager diego maradona undoubtedly one of the greatest footballers of all time but yet to prove himself as manager the argentinian has been fired by the by club after a disappointing domestic season maraton 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 legend guided them to eight in the league failing to qualify for the asian champions league while the final straw was the team's failure

to win a second to fixture against bahrain's. despite winning the first leg three one. now with the olympics rapidly approaching it's time for athletes all over the globe to step up their training shadow artie's michael kraft chang who was caught up with russian swimmer and medal hopeful nikita loeb in severance he gears up for his second summer games. nikita logans of 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 business associates over the wall this time around everything is different because i'm twenty three years old now not nineteen and my whole approach to the sport has changed i've become more professional started watching my diet do

additional training in the gym and 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. domingo's 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. this bite from the insanely arduous ten hour training sessions that every olympic champion aspiring one that is has to go through nowadays thank you to also have had his days in the run up to the olympics meticulously planned out with things little time for anything 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 it's just 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 london olympics 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 the pressure is on from the kids a lot of to perform well at the games and many will be hoping he gets up on the right foot when he wakes up in london michael franco party well elsewhere

superstars of the n.b.a. to begin with a defense of that and then pick title for the likes of le bron james kobe bryant and carmelo anthony were put through their paces in las vegas the trio were part of the gold winning squad in beijing four years ago usa looking to repeat that success and claim a record fourteenth title. you know we were really looking forward to the challenge of him over the four to support. us versus the family it's a very very. good to go out there and try to represent our country the best way we know how to support each other the process you know we just want to know those guys are. completed slower and you know there are no other plays that you would like to do than where you want to best purrs or so close from. now to boxing where the trash talking has begun as julio cesar chavez judea prepares to put his w.b.c.

middleweight title on the line against martinez that go head to head in las vegas on september the fifteenth two division world champion martinez is looking to reclaim the w.b.c. crown however it won't be easy the current incumbent chavez junior who's eleven years younger than his opponent has secured a thirty two knockouts in his forty six career wins the 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 on 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 where he going to go after you lose now to cricket where

one of the finest wicketkeepers 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 bale the thirty five year old is the most capped gloveman in history and was due to play his one hundred fiftieth test against england later this summer that much is meant us as is as a person. but i think speak for himself i mean i think he was in line to achieve his hundred fifty thousand dismissals in the game you know and so many other world records and we went with that so you know if you add that to the type of person that he was you know you'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 doping offenses told of france competitor going to go to zero has been suspended by his team cafe this after being arrested

by french police the twenty six year old was arrested at his team hotel on shoes day a rest day in this year's tour two other men suspected of supplying the frenchman banned substances were also detained as part of the long term investigation i was thirty in the race standings after nine stages but his team say he's been suspended pending further investigation this. make it be true there's a team member who's 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 you know now finally the annual precursor to the dakar rally continues in russia stage three of the a rally from volgograd to early star was won by christian lavelle and co-driver pascal iraq heavy overnight rain made life difficult from the outset but the rock was able to complete the three hundred three mile course quickest for their second

consecutive stage when forty six year old yvel dominated from start to finish and now has the overall lead his ten minutes ahead of his nearest rival heading into stage four which is the longest of the six stages. all that is all for now from the world of sport the union will be back here in just under two hours time with plenty more weather is next here on r.t. followed by the headlines with. there are those who desperately need it to survive. misspoken does the tongue give money to the on the lookout to follow on goldman the fish. and the suppresses the prize the rights of the fruits of. new clothes and. those who don't get their share
