been portrayed in the belgian media i'm considering me as pro syria pro syrian people i'm convinced that the only way to get out of this crisis out of this bloodshed is by following the path of free forum not the ball to offer file ins so if i say i'm pro or the forum i don't see i'm pro sets. but if you look to the reality in the city and go from the mint who also is willing to follow this other forum and you've written and said that the armed uprising in syria has been supported or started from be outside but do you also acknowledge the fact that the syrians from inside want change and what of what is the basis of your analysis on this i do believe is that the violence what we are seeing you know this has nothing to do with the forum this has to do with destroying the people. i'm also convinced. i have a lot of testimonies from from people in syria that

a lot of. what they call the rebels the members of the of syrian free army it's a matter of fact they are foreigners i mean this is not a forum in syrians are not interested in this is syrian people out of very. peaceful peaceful people and they managed to live together for centuries since. we don't have any problem. so the violence we're seeing no it's not a syrian products i went to daraa. which. which was the bit the year before where the trouble started. also that it's near to the jordanian border it's not a coincidence that the trouble started at the border there. at the border town because this underlines once again the influence from abroad i mean. if

you're in the situation in syria what's really. a syrian. or a city and problem. trouble would have started from. our homes a lot of. outside forces and governments are interested in the to destroy syria why because you have to remember the city has a very strategic position in the area in the middle east in the region i think the main targets as a matter of fact is. because iran is such a powerhouse in the region it's so strong. they know that to take out iran first they have to take out syria and i'm quite convinced if they would succeed to destroy syria the next order to get will be hezbollah in lebanon i wonder if these two allies are taken out. they will concentrate one hundred percent on the you know

who are you referring to when you say they i mean to my opinion the united states and elyse because of their strategic interests in that region. also do. a lot of people talk about oil but you have to know syria it's not rich in oil they have some oil but it's not rich but of course the real oil is in saudi arabia and syria can be a transit country. you also have to know that or huge gas reserves in the former soviet union i mean the central asian states of the former soviet union so they're for a huge i guess reserves and i think you have to see it in this context how do you confirm the identity of the rebel fighters if you claim that they are coming from the outside therefore as how do we have proof of that because they found a lot of. proof of this like. when people died

in the homes are now we know they find identity cards passports of foreign people. they capture people with a foreign accent you really are from mercenaries or doing it for the money but you also have no out which is active in syria because they hope to be find a new you know a new base to to establish a new base over there let's just briefly look at turkey's role in all of this historically turkey and syria have had good relations what is the interest in turkey being rather aggressive now against syria what is the what lies in it for them to see unrest in syria as a matter of fact we're already seeing this because at this moment the kurdish region in syria or the people in accordance region in syria they already got

a lot of. government from the government in damascus and of course turkey is not happy with this evolution why this change of mind why are they so. anti syria and no i think there are different theories is can be true would that be still have this. dream aspirations to make of turkey again a. powerhouse which it once once was in the region. during the ottoman era. another factor is that. the factor of the muslim brotherhood they are not really anti western because the. origin of the muslim brotherhood. they are what we call rick and. so they are interested in free trade with europe with the united states with the

western world i mean we see now in egypt the muslim brotherhood we know that turkish government also the president is. also pro muslim brotherhood and maybe they are hoping to establish a new government in syria also pro muslim brotherhoods for economical economical reasons and also political reasons of course because you cannot really split this so you said that the ultimate target in this geopolitical story is iran what is and this is not the first time that this opinion has been voiced or what is your analysis on this where iran is concerned it's fairly clear to me not only to me to a lot of people that. is to destroy the iranian regime in binyan of the west are in a war of words it's a hostile regime hostile to. western waltz i don't

think this is true because i feel stupid also many times to run and i can assure you that the ukrainian government is a very rational government spirit and government always say to nuclear program. is a civilian program. while in the west they say no. birth person is to get an automatic bomb or a nuclear weapon and then they told me why should we need in that period a weapon i mean even if we managed to make one the player weapon. there is a difference between having a nuclear weapon and to be capable to deliver it so there is a big technical step between these two phases and they see even if we have one nuclear weapon and they think we're going to use it's. the american government and their allies they will almost say to the middle ages so they have no interest in their country being destroyed it's so they are much more rational than most people

here in the west think now all the opinions you voiced today it's. contrary to the general narrative that we find in a lot of the press lot of the analysis here in belgium or in western europe how is your work and your opinions received in this part of the world unfortunately. most people. here in belgium but i can also. see maybe a broader picture of the western world to europa in the united states. they're not really aware they don't know really the situation in the middle east what they know about it it's based on cliche is you know like a very black and white picture you know the good guys and the bad guys and even amazed that a lot of people don't even realize. the chicle location of here.

for them it's somewhere over there in the middle east and the same with syria i mean a lot of people don't know that the origin of the bathtub or street it was socially sporty a lot of people say ok president bashar al assad and his family to allow we are so this can be true but this is not. how can i say this is not the main factor in syrian politics the main factor is the origin of the baath party the socialist party where all religions lift together and city as one of the few maybe the only country in the middle east where you have all these denominations christian but also get all the christian orthodox christian greek orthodox modern needs sunni shia living together for hundreds of here very peacefully. but most people who are done pretty allies these chris answer thanks very much for your time it was a pleasure.

time to get some action with kate she's next with the sport. hello welcome to the sport on this busy sunday and here are the headlines looking up off the defeats for top to spotlight this guy and our she looked to capitalize as they both play at home. to draw with class a dot in the russian premier league. while seeing red champions of manchester city go to liverpool the all small trouble to stoke on a sunday in the english top flight chelsea will finish the weekend in top spot. and tough warm up that truck. second title of the month in a hard court warm up the us open by beating maria kirilenko in the final of the new haven no. first

a footballer test aim to keep up the pressure at the top with three matches taking place this sunday in the russian premier league first i'm got back from two goals down to draw two two it have the class no doubt in a mid table battle while now it's the turn of the argument at a time to clear so that's a victory for lang it's that these men would save the world could see them drive to third and play our goal up there to see an example the sound of sixty minutes in and then later on g eight a much more day in the late game. was a trifle which champions reason came from behind to win two one it's nice to think the first defeat of the season of the defending champions watched on by russia manager fabio capello victimize you in but the whole side ahead not to. cross the twenty five minutes but seven minutes after the break alexander was on say was fouled in the area for the visitors and it does not show a level from the penalty spot for the israelis six goal in as many games and so on they are the one at the moment can't netted from long range what proved to be

rubin's wind up roughing up the perfect present for a coach got rid of it if you turn sixty eight on saturday. how about you before you join us. his man meant to win for a spot i could inform to right would see the boss their side go top and as they took the lead to argentinian day returned fire and surrounding from the corner after sixty seven minutes but with ten minutes to go eagle eleven don't get leveled with tech passes fundable bounced off the post and right to spotlight net and keeper and the count was once again left fuming in stoppage time brazilian defend the antonio for a rest match the winner for the home side two one to wreck picking up their third win in four games to leapfrog spartak and the level on points with his innate. while in the last game of the day young goal in the posted a hat trick is ten man rostov came back from a goal down to win three want to turn to a lawyer that mean america opened for the visitors in the first minute the brazilian strike a chalking up his sixth goal of the campaign but he was all right stuff after that

to go into scoring twice within two minutes to put them in the driver's seat right before the break how the hosts they saw and got us as not to send top soon after the restart but that didn't put a goal in the off banging home his third head of the night checks heroics helping rostock move off the bottom at the expense of to know how quickly and another finish the day back at the foot of the table despite earlier winning three two a look at what if in a struggling moscow dobby to move temporarily off the bottom like a crush anchor reports. on paper this match would have probably ended in looking achieve moscow's favor what with the railway men sitting pretty in third place while their opponents languishing without a single point at the bottom of the table the game did start in looking at each favor as opposed to seeing as they were playing in front of a home crowd but it was denominated russian international alexander cordon who broke the deadlock arguably against the run of play with a cool finish pass dahlia pressure. with the home fans silent it took

a while for the railway men to pick up their game but did so with a neat header by brazilian showboat my gone and this followed through into the second. half as each side continued to disrupt each other's play but it was the nominee that went ahead once more this time through by last who smashed the ball home into the far corner. slaven bilic had subbed an ineffective roman pavlyuchenko at half time for a dam and boy and was rewarded when the senegalese strike ahead of home to equalize for the second time however a resurgent denominate had the last laugh when christian the boa popped in a glancing header over anton shushan looking much he did have one last chance to even the scores though filed by a last ditch clearance of the line after injuring one of the worst league starts it was understandable that the genomics camp wasn't too emotionally overcome opting for a more cautious attitude in light of the conflict. we want we finally got the long awaited victory which i think will give us

a morale and physical boost that's why this winning is very important toss on this . milledge put the blame firmly on his players admitting that dinar must simply wanted the win more than his own players. didn't get a single point from the first five games which doesn't reflect their quality of the side that i wouldn't say today was a matter of luck not going away maybe we could have got an equaliser at the end but today the if we simply played badly the number but naturally the players were also disappointed with the result and i think they made too many mistakes specially. in our vision because. you have to be here to retire. first five goals. play me a. pretty good result. so looking at the moscow is creation revolution has been derailed somewhat by local rivals deny moscow in the two three defeats here at home

this gives did imo the first win of the season and they'll go into next week's game against the button with a new confidence village's man however will have to pick themselves up really quickly because. they face another darby and spartak moscow drinking oxy. and in the meantime overeating on three former top flight champions are in action in two key matches on a rainy day in the premier league firstly it's a battle of styles of stoke host also with both sides looking for their first win of the season after buzz through last weekend's return his date in thirty two minutes gone and it's still no little while later brendan rodgers liverpool steaming from their st no opening defeat at west brom welcome to champions manchester city. southampton three two. one on saturday and then as our and fernando torres struck because chelsea won two no time to newcastle to stay top elsewhere everton won three wanted ten man aston villa robin van persie and shinji kagawa school their first pub goals is not just united one three two at home to follow but wayne rooney is out for around four weeks with a gash nor

a true one one with q.p.r. swanzy one three nil at home to west ham while wigan were two no big to southampton west brom snatched an injury time one one draw at tottenham and sunderland against reading was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch. now into tennis and patrick critter has clinched her second title this month by beating maria kirilenko in a hard fought battle to win the new haven open in the final warm up for the us open the final grand slam of the season last year's wimbledon champion was pushed hard by the russian with each dropping serve three times in the first set. to eleven nine with twenty great length went a break up in the second but fought back to try and seven six seven five in two hours and eight minutes adding to the one true all time she won this august while caroline guy has risen to a career high twelfth in the world rankings and could see the fifth russian meadows again hello so from some of the. yeah i am very excited that

didn't remember it's expected here in the north america so they re going to row and i hope to get some of the try to play my best india is opened. and finally kick boxing and the fifth edition of the w five fighters who once was held on friday night here in the russian capital but it was two ukrainian up and comers who forty's as on the night robots father now reports b w five why there is a new russian martial arts tournament and still far from the biggest fighting stage twice the kind of event that up and coming kickboxers need to build up their names among my you it is one of ukraine's biggest hopes and on friday night the twenty year old placed another test on his quest to reach the summit there were some old scores to settle with the russian didn't use a lot of. that you first met last may and it was the ukrainian thunder who won the

battle in the extra round this time out large ingo was standing in his way once again and out for revenge. fire and ice. lushington nickname desboro always bringing emotions into the ring and my love seeking his chance with patience it was the ukrainian proved to have the better skills with thunder white noise striking seconds from time this impressive left uppercut giving my all of it difficult when the main event of the night to have a special my coach signal from the corner of the just seconds left before the end of the fight i knew i was losing it on points so i had to open up an attack and i missed that punch it wasn't too hard it was just very accurate and well timed. i'm glad this time i wanted fair and square with no split decisions or extra rounds in our first fight i made some mistakes at it or chased a knockout it was just

a brawl try to fight smart by sticking to the game plan making and miss and lose confidence you think and the other big fight of the night so my looks young compared to read. taken from belgium the seventeen year old ukrainian face probably the toughest test of his life with his opponent having an impressive record of forty four i wince at a fifty one professional kick boxing fights and looked simply a bigger and stronger whatever in the beer was not to be intimidated and claimed in the spirit of victory the fourth in his fledgling career. i've checked a number of his fights on the internet and he's won so many by knockouts but you know what i think he didn't face with the opponent he's a big strong guy and it seems like the others were scared but i was i was much faster and he could do nothing about it since courage rather than fortune favors the brave. party moscow.

and just a quick update before we go because dani pedrosa has just won the check wrong pretty the spaniard edging out combative and much of g.p. lead out all day. and that's all the sports news more into as they join me again. well. it's technology innovation all the developments around russia we've got the future covered.
