hello and welcome to our team of care and with their top stories divided they stand a cash choked greece who begs for breathing space leaving the leaders deeply split on whether to show mercy. also on the deadly trend of afghan forces turning their weapons against nato troops helping to train them is adding yet more challenges to the country's dreams of peace. and border disorder syria's neighbors feel the heat from the country's civil war with deadly clashes and a growing flow of refugees. next archie talks to a doctor called the job syria's deputy prime minister for economic affairs he has his say on how a cease fire and a lasting peace can be reached. they're

joined by dr carter his journey series vice prime minister for economic affairs and i'm becoming. let us start over visiting your is a news conference where he says the basic principle that must be observed for any kind of dialogue to possible in syria you named. and there has still it is and refraining from foreign interference and on is there anything else you know. no there are only these two principle ours which should be enough if we were to agree on these two principles all other issues would become technicalities despite a contradiction is assumed and we would be able to reach an agreement or certain reciprocal concessions over the guidelines in question include refraining from foreign interference in any form of them which means that the syrian people should be allowed to decide their fate by themselves it is in fact a longstanding principle of international relations that to being violated right

now of the thirty second principle requires giving up violence in any of its forms if we look at the issues that lie at the core of contention in syria we'll see that it's something that simply cannot be resolved through the use of force but instead the way to deal with them is to sit down at the negotiating table i should say that pursuing a peaceful solution is through dialogue would require the world to show quite a lot of courage by refraining from military action it might seem that military force can get you farther than anything else but in reality it we've all seen that warfare doesn't get you anywhere politically. the situation in syria is very volatile and any instance of armed combat will only escalate the hostilities and what we need is a similar taney a cease fire mortars which would be in line with the kofi annan plan the geneva arrangement the stance of our friends and the attitude of the syrian government is that which is published a resolution calling for national right. conciliation what. about therefore how

would you respond to people who say they won't negotiate with a government whose military machine has been raising serious it is to the ground alaska you know was that as a precondition for dialogue and we're going to nick what have i done sort of lead here what. beyond reason violence has been employed by each of the warring parties over the if we start regarding such statements as a precondition then dialogue will never take place civil wars in lebanon and algeria have shown that sooner or later the warring parties do come to negotiate with each other so the syrian people do have a chance but if only we get down to reconciliation without delay we might avoid having to pay an immense price for our country's war torn economy. common sense and wisdom call for sitting down at the negotiating table as soon as possible are to share without imposing any preconditions that will only impede the process with such demands maybe perfectly well meaning but at the end of the day they're

misleading and effectively do more to obstruct the peace process rather than encourage it and anyone who's impeding dialogue right now should be held responsible for the continuing bloodshed in syria the. doctor your doctor had there have been described as prominent personalities on this so-called domestic opposition today you are members of a national reconciliation government notwithstanding the escalating violence would you say that your cooperation with the regime has managed to make a change that up as far as the government policies are concerned there's a. first of all the present government can be called a government of reconciliation as it has a different shape still joining this government on behalf of the opposition was aimed at unraveling the maze and finding a way to establish a true national unity government we know that by sitting by and expecting such conditions which will make all. all the opposition parties joined in the national

unity government can cause damage so we've taken it upon ourselves to make the first step towards forming a coalition government while retaining our opposition views we join the government based on a national unity agenda which was put into practice by a governmental declaration of the declaration includes two major provisions which are at the backbone of the coalition and of the future one of. the syrian government relies on the principle of national reconciliation and its recent declaration upholds this principle as a cornerstone regarding it as a process that would express the sovereign will of the people and to be essential for resolving the crisis adopting a road map for national reconciliation by a national unity government can be regarded as a victory of the entire syrian people the second provision goes in tune with our principle and was proven by the government declaration it suggests focusing on the east and not just in politics given how the current worldwide situation was affected by russia and china's veto that meant the end of the old age and the

beginning of a new one you could i mean focusing on the east regarding the economy to fully revising all the economic ties of syria which have existed throughout the years over fourth of the revision of the system is a crucial time as one of the syrian crisis gave rise to it and now the onset of this revision is of great importance and it means a lot that this is not a short term measure this solution will have a positive impact on the syrian economy society and social structure. and you can imagine this is sation off but still it is one of the key principles and you reiterated that point at the news conference however there is violence employed on both sides of the conflict in syria and one of the war in part is is the government you are a minister have you tried using your position in the cabinet to promote the notion of ending the violence. as far as the sation of violence is concerned we should refer to the. nieve a communique which provides for

a cease fire in accordance with the kofi annan plan and requires each party to assign their empowered interlocutors of syria did appoint its official representative to whereas the other party still hasn't done so and i don't know why maybe they have trouble picking the right person for the job but whatever the reason that dialogue and negotiation cannot happen without each party making their contribution this in our case one of the parties cannot decide whether it wants to participate all their deadlines change constantly on the talks are perpetually perspire and it's high time that we get on with the process of negotiation this issue is closely linked to the opposition choosing between options the opposition is very diverse or one of its more reasonable factions is the national coordinating committee which has made their stance clear they call for dialogue with no preconditions but we have supported their position which is indeed similar to our own longstanding perspectival but we see that there are points for convergence among syria's various political groups including the opposition both inside syria

and abroad in this regard there was a very important statement made by dr haitham malik who has gone as far as to suggest handing over to the hague tribunals the militants who are guilty of killing syrians is therefore i'm confident the reality itself urges every sane minded person to call for dialogue going to be if we manage to agree on the principles i've already named but once we start a dialogue we would be able to address any issues but we need to refrain from insisting on preconditions that i'm likely to prevent dialogue altogether if we can achieve a lot of the negotiating table if only we agree on the two fundamental principles for starting a dialogue that bad that in one of the not the server as a leader that syria has become hostage to global competition for power and influence in ways by major global players that want to say that american presidential candidates and president obama in particular have taken advantage of the sci. let's imagine is that obama. the syrian crisis is unfolding at

a turning point in history that i like to compare to the suez crisis the u.s. soviet standoff marked the demise of the old world with where the u.k. and france enjoyed had german and and the emergence of a new bipolar world really for us today the opposition of russia and china is what arches in the end of a uni polar world with the new world order is yet to take shape and today international relations are going through a painful metamorphoses should be there's a lot of chaos and disagreement and this brings both positive and negative implications for the syrian crisis and the downside to this phenomenon is that the global balance of power is still taking shape your continued hostilities in syria what the u.s. and europe want to say these are still a teaser follow the familiar yugoslavia scenario the shipments of bloodshed makes it impossible for various groups to co-exist peacefully within the syrian nation so this is why the current international situation is so dangerous or whether it also

creates an historically unprecedented opportunity for the syrian people to untangle a problem built on a longstanding and deep rooted feud in a totally new way she saw this is of course only possible if there's enough political will power to do that the head of syria manages to resolve this crisis without it will for the first time in history cast away the all too familiar pattern of dividing the state and society who along the lines of differences as was the case in libya and iraq just to replace it by a real nice songs that will get syria a place in the sun in the new political and economic environment. and walk.

oblique as a burden but but of course we like to be in champions league and i was also. used to play in champions league you can bury did burden on the condition that the . squad and not just the ten feel players plus goalie but that discord is a quality wise more broadly and there i have my concerns. although losing players through an overloaded schedule is inevitable hit it must be elated knowing he'll have nearly all his players at his disposal for the game including africa struck do a similar to a last minute throw or have both been absent due to injuries he will however be without influential midfielder made of who suffered a knee injury meanwhile and she's ever present rock in defense christopher samba was only too aware of the threat posed but was quick to point out why the mood in the dressing room was confident it's a final you know so we know the importance of that game. of the game.

and make a very difficult game we really confidence you know we show in the previous game quality in the squad i'm sure that we can compete in the end because. it's not going to cause i swear to feel in the last. in the past many managers have spoken out against the europa league branding it a burden teams could do without and although hitting believes that there's some truth in that he believes participation of russian teams in europe can only be beneficial to russia it would be a good achievement for a club growing club in in russia in outside russia to be in. in the group stage in europe the further you come the more difficulties we will face with a team. not all this team but having some experience and. some experience playing in europe but if we play as we can then i think and i hope that

. we can get into the. the group stage which would be a good success for russian food especially for they may be only two games away from the commission's group stages but they face strong opposition days it reached the quarter finals in the competition last year and has a habit of doing well in the competition will also be having one eye on next weekend's match against premier league new boys. which could show whether the club has the depth needed to mount a proper challenge in europe. moscow. russian side seeking to make the europa league proper is c.s.k. moscow large fit big favorites to see off the challenge of sweet ai k. stockholm in there to tie after she ask a currently set sixth in the premier league and of won their last two. goal of football's most vaulted rivalries will be reignited on thursday in spain barcelona and real madrid set to lock horns in the opening el classico battle of the new

the season my. most of them reach tom foreman april or may when all the titles are at stake them both ryall and barcelona have had players who are coming out of the euro two thousand and twelve championships you look at and we've had the same amount of time to prepare for the match that's why i think we're completely even with ryall at least on paper about london is set to further its reputation as the place to be for global sports when the parra limpid games get going on august twenty ninth before that though four frames had to be symbolically sparked across some of the british isles highest summits olympic on par and pick organizer sebastian coe seen plenty of fire this summer with this particular torch relay taking him to the highest mountain in wales a long way up to reach the peak of months notice before the fun can begin well the flames were also lit at summit sinning in scotland northern ireland roughly the same time on wed and stay on the spot the less than ideal weather caused the lighting just to be. a very exciting day and actually it was really nice to

be out and doing this this morning and story of the flames being listen pretty much the same time and really signifies the weeks journey to london which was fantastic and of course the. torch relay from the spiritual home of the paralympics state land of the great summer weather and we'll freestyle moved across isn't exactly a risk free pastime serious injuries par for the course when you're flying through the air at high speed and maybe that's the reason there aren't too many of the elites of the sport russia can boast only one such their devil and he's getting lonely at the summit. the power of gravity. risk. fear the dead devils of course take them all on and win proving impossible is no more than just the ward.
