let the syrian people make up their mind and make the decision and. in a situation like this. the un security council has important tasks and that also goes. on and members. of the. us with the meeting in geneva hesitant about it as effectively with their vital roadmap. we believe. that it is possible. to. reach the necessary result within the framework of the decision taken in geneva to cut.

through. no. it is that however. prolonged protests in clashes in syria result in more civilian casualties. something we have already seen in the in the presidential presidential term of president assad's father. is only interested in an end to violence in syria and. nice. with him let the syrian people decide its feet and let us see. but you know that. church in your supports and implementing do is sit inside me to ensure you are this is a good fun. actions for the future. let

it distinctly. it is interesting to see. it with your. thank you very much. live from the heart of moscow watching r.t. and we were just watching a press conference between the turkish prime minister. the one and of course the russian president vladimir putin a very briefly just a moment here we'll do a quick wrap up and let you know exactly what was run down or most of the comments let's go to from our the turkish prime minister or the one him saying that when it comes to the issue of syria turkey is concerned about our security in syria so he is against the violation of syria's territorial integrity i don't know if that's just political posturing but because of then he goes on to say that the u.n. security council has a lot of responsibility to bear as it makes up its mind on what kind of action to take against syria also a prominent sort of the one saying the syrian regime is ruthless that it's killed

eighteen thousand people. all forty thousand refugees have gone to turkey one hundred fifty thousand to jordan twenty thousand to lebanon and more details on that on our website r c dot com thank you for your patience for that live press conference. all right now as we continue here at r.t. as western nations are hailed the libya's election as a broadly liberal journalist patrick hayes believes that there is little for the libyan people to be celebrating his interview if you'll bear with us is right now. as libya continues its long march towards democracy militant rivalry talk session and continued outbreaks of violence opposing major challenges we're joined now by spikes magazine journalist patrick case even extensively about libya and about what's been going on historic moments for libya really all we going to see the any

concrete changes i think it should have been the story moments i mean what we what we've seen with the elections is the first time the libyan people have been able to express their voice and talk about who they want to be elected for the first time in fifty years since nine hundred sixty five should have been the story the moment should have been the outcome of the struggle the logical outcome of the arab spring in libya last year unfortunately what we see with these elections is that this struggle for democracy this march towards democracy to talk about it has effectively been perspire western intervention over the past year or so the election itself has been administered by the national transitional council which was effectively cherry picked by the west right after the then actually selected by the libyan people it's an unelected body and there have been a lot of disagreements has been a lot of protests over the past nine ten months by the libyan people who are

unhappy with the lack of transparency from this governments there are unhappy with the fact that the transitional council does not represent their views or the people they want to be in power and they're also unhappy with the way in which the election has been planned and the seats for the national council have been allocated a large proportion of them being allocated to tripoli and the west of libya i would touch on the problems that that's causing in a moment he said in your latest article titled libyan election on. what do you mean were it not for nato intervention last year i think these elections should really have been something to celebrate the libyan people taking the democratic initiative overthrowing the tyrant gadhafi who was in charge for forty two years and they were starting to do that last year were it not for a haphazard intervention led by nicholas sarkozy in france and david cameron the

u.k. prime minister who decided to step in and in the name of humanitarian justice intervene in the in the in the way in which a sovereign country was being administered by gadhafi and to really kind of forge a wedge between the people fighting the civil war and. cronies that cause real problems because it meant that first starts with the transitional council that was set up last february in two thousand and eleven the whole time that the war in libya took place they were all into it towards getting western approval for their actions the national transitional council in libya brutally during the uprising the uprising there in qatar there in the united arab emirates they're inching this year they were flying around the world making deals with western. governments that might make sense in some ways but the thing that they forgot to do and this was the real issue and you see this happening in syria now is to get the mandates of the libyan

people to engage with them and to be oriented towards leadership to them rather than convincing the west in particular that they are the right people to lead so what you happens following the fall of the. transitional council who are affected we helicoptered in later actually because the rebels to tripoli by. by storm much faster than expected you had a vacuum in libya with a transitional council that did not represent the will or the kind of the ideas and feel. of the libyan people in general and there has been this really strange moment since there have been any other way of avoiding that. i think the way that could have been avoided would have been to not have had western intervention in march last you know the real had been a western intervention libya wouldn't be this point right now they wouldn't be having their. election we're just seeing democratic elections in egypt we've seen

elections in june this year there's no reason why the libyan people couldn't have also brought about change by themselves in fact i think it takes a very paternalistic mindsets in the west that they have to step in and intervene and do this on behalf of the libyan people seen massive swathes of the army starting to defect from gadhafi and they're. sure a ragtag bunch of resistance kind of starting to step up and to challenge could have been different strongholds. particularly in benghazi it wasn't necessarily the case in the west needed to intervene the tool but in intervening in this is. the democratic initiative from the libyan people they interfered with the struggle for leadership that struggle for the future battle of ideas for the future of libyan society which is necessary in the civil war to really unify and get here

individuals so that they can so that they can bring about change which actually reflects their will rather than what the west nato in particular thinks is the best way towards a society the west has now moved on to other things i think. there's been a lot of turmoil in libya over the last few months and we've heard very little from . people who were very vocal last year so david cameron after the death of gadhafi said this is the opportunity for the libyan people to forge a strong democratic future and i'm very proud of the way that britain has played a role in this but now there is silence. from david cameron from obama from hillary clinton from william hague the foreign secretary in the way people don't want to talk about it anymore partly because there's a lot of talk about using a look in stone in syria and they don't want to acknowledge the fact that what we have seen is effectively a very fragmented libya in the past six months is that a realistic possibility do you think i mean would a division of power in the way or is it going to cause

a struggle for where there is talk in benghazi and which is in the eastern region i think it's very telling that the libyan people have started to reassure these kind of tribal role and also go back to these old boundaries and divisions because rather than actually having to struggle for democracy that unifying sense of comradeship that i idea that they've really put everything on the line to get rid of gadhafi and to bring about a new society the west effectively the country into democracy you saw this a lot over the you know in the past year where you know the west would effectively bomb the rebels then when it was safe to come in go in and take that town and then they would move forwards that was the kind of strategy so effectively the west handed this revolution and i say revolution in kind of almost scare quotes to the libyan people on a plate and it wasn't fair for them the democratic initiative from them it's also

really process of proper leadership and a proper sense of how the country can be governing teacher you mentioned the rebels there i mean militarily they weren't anywhere near the point where they would have been able to topple the regime self in terms of that you know sort of with hindsight it's easy to criticize but again we come back to where we are now. and what we did barack go in egypt. bring about democracy there's no reason why. things couldn't have happened very very quickly and that was the remarkable thing about the arab spring no one story coming within a short periods of just a couple of months people took the initiative and brought down regimes that were just seen for generations and generations of people in the middle east as being immoveable for the vast majority of people in libya they've never seen elections and anyone under the age of about sixty really probably going to remember life without having

a few years ago and that was the same with mubarak and that was the same with ben ali. so i mean things could have been moving very very quickly western intervention i think really almost puts that struggle for democracy on ice in libya in a way that hasn't happened in egypt and tunisia you know i think there would have been a risk there either end up with a serious situation sort of a stalemate between the two sides and the death toll just keeps mounting i think there is a tendency of course from people and you saw this in benghazi as well when gadhafi troops were getting ever closer to benghazi and the death toll was rising the people of course do look for for anyone to help them they are desperate various points but the problem is when you continually have the idea of a crisis when you can call for effectively a guardian angels come in and help you he does want that situation and things the west didn't necessarily make it better the death toll increased considerably after the nato bombs started to fool in libya and the thirty thousand people died in the beer in past years during the uprising

a lot of that was due to western intervention and it wasn't a bloodless time once the west in actually intensified its and internationalize the conflict in a way that wouldn't happen. for. one western intervention intensifies internationalize this is often brings about kind of greater bloodshed if you leave the struggle to the people the democratic struggle to the people of the country selves i think we also need to think in terms of what comes next now there was never you know there were. never a plan for what happened in the post libya by by david cameron by obama it was very much you know obama reluctantly got involved and after less than a week really started to kind of go on the back foot the western leaders didn't have an idea of how they were going to restructure libya they didn't even want to talk about regime change when they first started. bombing libya so i think what

i think we can learn from from the libyan situation is that western countries coming in and intervening to try and intervene even good heartedly in a humanitarian situation can really warp a country struggle for democracy educates thank you very much. sure is that so much of an. issue. mark over syria witnessing a new generation of information there appears no doubt western media aims to construct a concert. headlined

hello there all the latest from the sporting world right now here are two things for joining us coming up in the program. was poisoned cyclist french like claims he's innocent after failing a drug test at the tour de france. big deal sweden striker's lovingly begin with signs it. would hope her exams are men in a row for the twenty five million dollars move from ac milan. braving vault world champion your blake wins another sprint race to once again turned out a warning to same bolt head of the round and. now the toughest stage of this year's tour de france has started without one of the big games frank schleck was pulled out by his radio shack team after failing

a drug test the thirty two year old from lots of book tested positive for for a band. although he claims he's innocent and may have been poisoned scheck was twelfth in the race let's ask for a sample to be tested is the second rider on the test positive frame tried that remedy gregorio also failed a drug test a week ago. the our current leader bradley wiggins was full of confidence ahead of state sixteen it includes four of the biggest climbs in cycling is one of them which rises to over two thousand metres the brute has it two minute advantage in the overall standings over skype teammate chris froome while it's hell in the chairs and a further twenty seconds back he has written off his chances of grabbing the yellow jersey but first let's hear from wiggins who has every belief his team can help him with the two different. i think we proved that every race we've gone through this year across the board even when there's been other line ups and things like that

this team prides itself on racing as a team going out with a game plan and sticking to that game plan and working for each other really in every environment not just on the bike but off the bike is where we support each other and i think i think that's one thing we've got over a lot of other things that are on it it appears in the way that it was that it will be very difficult to wean him by the next two days is the mountains and if there is a little crisis for rider it is more likely that they will lose big time in the third week then in the first two weeks. if football russian players have given their backing to third capello who set to become the new head coach of the national side the tail end has already named russia's main problem in the sport it's the presence of too many foreign players in the russian premier league in the next few days the former england boss is expected to sign a two year deal with the russian football you know will take charge in time for

russia's friendly again next month before was cut twenty fourteen qualifiers against northern ireland and israel in september russian stars including de niro believed in it have backed his imminent appointment. of school i think this is the correct decision and he's a great coach and one of the best around he's been in charge of england and top clubs around europe he's very experienced it will be great to work with him if you could bear shinya with i didn't really know what to think of moments so many names were linked with jordan capello i'm going to learn you just have to see what he's able to bring to the team and hopefully he'll help take russian football forward. meanwhile slot than me but i give each three year contract to complete his move from a similar one to three spending perry sanjit man that sweden striker will be making a reported seventeen million dollars that season after tax it's also believed the french side splashed out twenty five billion to buy the thirty year old that feat

taking the club's spendings to some one hundred thirty seven million dollars this summer the national runners up have also signed the likes of slot in the form to made to her silver and now police it's a kill less. in other football news made soon knighted manager alex ferguson has wished i had the birthday to nelson mandela south africa's first democratically elected president turned ninety four united to get their. pre season two underway and the red devils are due to play a couple of matches in south africa before we'll go to china to face did a drug bust shanghai shanghai are decide will open their domestic campaign it will turn in a month's time ferguson says bringing the top two back to old trafford is their top task. there are

just nine days to go until the london games begin and the brazilian football team has touched down in england in search of the first olympic title when a brazilian friends were heathrow airport to welcome their heroes despite the nation's glorious history they have never won olympic gold and joint favorites with spain after picking a seriously strong squad which includes a son to striker name or who at the age of twenty is one of the hottest talents in world football and a similar front man alexandre pato brazil will play great britain in a friendly friday before starting the group seek and pain against egypt belarus and new zealand. now the biggest name on the track maybe spring to use a ball but jamaican your blake looks like an increasing threat to the triple olympic champion is just around nine point eight five in the one hundred meters at a low event in switzerland and says he's staying on course for the olympics blake

ran the fastest time of the year last month at the jamaican trials he is nine point seven five faster than balls not point eight six and also beat the world record holder in the two hundred meters there the pair will go head to head in both events in london. it's rare when you can confidently say that someone has complete dominance in any one given sport but russia has done just stepped in synchronized swimming since the year two thousand they. do it performances have had a stranglehold around the olympic gold medal michael christian caught up with russia's current aspiring duo in the run up to the foster approaching london games . russia's synchronized swimming team and do it have won all six possible gold medals in the last three olympic games in addition they've also contributed heavily to russia's overall gold medal tally in both the world and european aquatic championships but whether or not the challenges have dropped the standards in

recent times it's clear the current batch of russian athletes are being trained hard. or will really work a lot as never one of the training facility nails this they're all shocked that we train daily for ten hours hauling and polishing the routine is very difficult and to remember it is even harder. although it was removed in favor of the team competition for the nine hundred ninety six games the jewett is now considered to be the most prestigious event of all russians. and honest to see a year mark over with the country stop half the last two and pick but a couple of new starlets in the form of natalee and said. have since emerged shining at least in the world and european championships so. it's much tougher physically this time around because in the last olympics i only participated in the team competition and now i will also be performing in the duets competition it's

a more individual event and it's of course very prestigious and because of that it's more than double the work the discipline requires great strength in june flexibility and of course precise timing as well as exceptional birth control when upside down underwater so training is tough and constant and lengthy the bills can train for literally half a day in order to ensure they maintain the proper level of fitness. without a doubt the most difficult aspect is dealing with the physical demands we've got to do at repetitions in the morning and to team repetitions in the evening so it's quite difficult to keep yourself in shape mentally it's also tough yes the olympics are the goal. but you try not to think about that because it just becomes that much harder you know russia's synchronized swimming to work my passion and so. of course i have to spend a lot of time in the water but surprisingly they spend all amount of the ten hour training sessions here in the gym practicing record graffiti. it's

a long and at times lonely task with a rigid regime that leaves little room for anything else let alone the time but insist there's enough time for friends and family that if there is we have one free day a week so we try to get everything done then they go to the movies and read with friends i have a husband at home so i like spending time with him of course but this is part of our work and i just have to get used to it and of course there wouldn't be much of a duet if the two girls couldn't get along with each other. natasha and i get along very well even beyond the training facility but it can be difficult especially when we come back after our day off and have to resume training when are we really want to do is share the latest asked that they know of each other mushy enough feeling big shoes and expectations will be sky high when they dive in the olympic pool in london in august but it seems they're already well prepared to carry the torch in russia's bid to win gold for consecutive time michael cook of genco r.t.

different because you have to be on your game right away and you can't just you know hit a ball in the fairway any distance you want you have to have tapped at the ball a precise number and that is different than than we experience from you know week in week out. well that's all from me for knowledge on us for more sports news from around the globe into his time here.
