six thirty pm here in the russian capital. headlines now spanish police and. protesters. protested. continuing the demonstration. syria's main opposition leaders refused to budge. they say they don't want president assad to stay in power and. to stop the bloodshed. security council. mission in the country. and violent

attacks on immigrants show an alarming increase in. the rise of racial hatred is being blamed on the economic crisis. all right as promised her and next we talk to one of syria's opposition leaders for his vision on how to end the ongoing bloodshed in the country the special interview the up close and if you. i'm afraid 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 here is

a 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 at 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 this indian's 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 at 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 whereas like i told 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

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 this will lead syria 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 that 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 bit to levels in order to put 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 and 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 my shot al assad three weeks ago he officially declared war on the people of syria 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 pause in 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 this government is doing the right thing. first of all it shows the government's reliance on violence has proven a failure secondly issues 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 common 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 heard 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 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 would 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 caricatured 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

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 stamps over the wall this time around everything is different because i'm twenty three years old now not nineteen but my whole approach to the sport has changed so 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 of this bite from the insanely arduous

meter relay events and he fancies russia's chances but 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 me it's 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 yeah hard to believe the london olympics only arriving two weeks away now and that is all your sports know whether it's next. well. it's technology innovation all the developments from around russia we've got the future covered.
