six thirty pm here in the russian capital. these are the stories that shape this week western nations are inching closer to military interference in syria to set up a no fly zone to authorize a strike. and gets twenty one years in jail. as inspiration for even more radical. muslims. from performing a. court.

threat to the ecuadorian embassy in. north american nations. and the diplomatic staff. we talked to the head of the belgium based syrian friendship association of christianson the main issue regional tension in the middle east and why syria is now center stage. today we're joined by christiane sen he's an adult lister specializing in the middle east particularly syria renia relations and he also founded the assyrian a friendship association here in belgium about four years ago thanks very much travis for us for joining us today the first question i'd like to ask to establish the basis of your opinion you established this is so see a sham syrian friendship does that mean you are considered pro assad as you had

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 these bloodshed is by following the path of free for a lot of the ball to offer firelands so if i see i'm ready for him i don't see i'm pro sets. but if you look to the reality in the city and go from the men's who also is willing to follow this path or 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 one 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 who 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 bets 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 the

cuban situation in syria was 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. that 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 our allies because they have 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. but 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 huge gas reserves and i think you have to sit in this context how do you confirm the identity of the rebel fighters as you claim that they are coming from the outside they're foreigners how do we have proof of that because they found a lot of. proof of this like. when people die

in homes. they find identity passports of foreign people. they captured people with a foreign accent who you really are from mercenaries or doing it for the money but you also have no al qaeda which is active in. syria because they hope to find a new you know a new base 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 very 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 no i think there are different reasons so it can be true would that be still have this. dream aspirations to make of turkey again a. power. house which it once was once was in the region. during the autumn an era. another factor is that. the factor of the muslim brotherhood they are not really anti western because of 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 with that thirty governments 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 and 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 the purpose is to destroy the iranian regime because of being in the western awards it's a hostile regime hostile to the. western world i don't

think this is true because i feel stupid also many things to run and i can assure you that the ukrainian government is a very rational government spirit and government always stated a nuclear program. is a civilian program. while in the west they say no. buses to get more of a nuclear weapon and then they told me why should we. you need to not put your weapon i mean even if we managed to make one the prettier 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 there will be almost to the middle ages so they have no interest in going to 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 opinion is 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 the cliche is you know like a very black white picture you know the good guys in the bad guys and even amazed that a lot of people don't even realize. she goes through at the chicken location of it and 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 dollar we force this can't 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 only christian orthodox christian because of the matter i need. to get on for hundreds of your very peacefully. but most people here. thanks very much for your time it was a pleasure. you

know sometimes to see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then something else you hear sees some other part of it and realize everything you thought you don't know i'm sorry welcome to the big picture.

in the studio joins us next with the sporting action. hello welcome to the sports update this sunday and here are the top stories looking young says go forth with a straight male winner of a clearly is a very top come back to draw with and prepared to face mordovia in the russian premier league. while seeing red champions manchester city go to liverpool popped off again jordan neil no this time it started on a crunch sunday in the english top flight. and top warm up patrick critical second title of the month in a cold port warm up for the us open by beating maria kirilenko in the final of the new haven open. but first to football in tesco moscow are up to fourth off the

trancing three is the best top three nail in the russian premier league alexander sound and. we're all on target in this lopsided encounter the victory propelled the army men to within a point of the disney. looking to go six when they entertain promoted more directly at that one as the five to get underway in the southern republic of dagestan. while in the early kick off. an impressive first half fight back to come back from two goals down to draw two to attend because of that even though well that left much to be desired as you would love to see unbundled race within five minutes to give the because it is a comfortable lead before the hard foul mark meaning a striker has now scored six goals in as many matches but the key to the stops will be called one back four. before our top. level matters still in the first half to two it stopped. one saturday twice from

a champions reason came from behind to into want to needs to inflict a first defeat on the seat of the season on the defending champions watched on by russia manager fabio capello defies the ruling but the home side ahead nodding in bloody maybe starts across after twenty five minutes but seven minutes after the break alexander is out so it was found in the area for the visitors and the rest not joe level from the penalty spot for the israelis six goals in as many caves and only out of one netted from long range what proved to be robin's winner wrapping up the perfect present for coach governed by the who turned sixty on saturday. and that defeat for the chinese to let his man meant to win for a spot i could inform to reconceive in moscow so i go top and they took the lead through argentina debutant fine and so loudly from the corner office sixty seven minutes but we ten minutes to go igor lever then get levelled botero act as he's bundled bounced off the post right into the spotlight. and the cameras once again

left in stoppage time there's even define the term here for a snatch the winner for the home side two one to wreck picking up their third win in forgetting to leap frog spar tackle go level on points woods in each. one in the last game of the day young goal and posted a hat trick as ten man rostov came back from a goal down to win three wanted time to align your neck o. opened. this just in the first half the brazilian striker chalking up his sixth goal of the campaign but it was all rust off after that he got in the scoring twice within two minutes to put him in the driver's seat right before the break all the hosts or a guest as nasty as sent off soon after the restart but that didn't put the goal in the off banging home with their heads up the night the czechs iraq's health and are stuck with the bottom of the table at the expense of coke and other finish the day back at the foot of the table despite earlier winning three to it look what if in a stunning moscow davi to move temporarily off the bottom like

a question killer thoughts. on paper this match would have probably ended in looking at 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 with favor as opposed to seen as they were playing in front of a home crowd but it was denominator russian international alexander cordon who broke the deadlock arguably against the run of play with a cool finish pass dahlia clashes. with the home fans silence it took a while for the railwayman to pick up the 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 number that went ahead once more this time through the dark who smashed the ball home into the far corner oh slaven bilic had subbed an ineffective roman pavlyuchenko at half time for d.m. and boy and was rewarded when the senegalese striker headed home to equalise for the second time however

a resurgent unama had the last laugh when christian the boa popped in a glancing header over anton shushan. did have one last chance to even the scores though filed by a last ditch clearance of the line after injuring one of the worse league starts it was understandable that the dynamic camp wasn't too emotionally overcome opting for a more cautious attitude in light of the current plight. we want we finally got the long awaited victory which i think will give us a morale and physical boost that's why this when it is very sporty toss on the sports. milledge put the blame firmly on his players and meaning that the nominee simply wanted the win more than his own players. didn't get a single point from their first five games which doesn't reflect the quality of the sign i wouldn't say today was a matter of luck not going away and maybe we could have got an equaliser at the end but today we simply played badly. but naturally the players were also disappointed

with the result then i think they made too many mistakes especially. you know i'm a bitch because i. like to get into a good time but that's. really tough i want to hear a. pretty good job today so look i want to moscow's creation revolution has been derailed somewhat by local rivals do now moscow in the two three defeat here at home this gives dinamo the first win of the season and they'll go into next week's game against cuban with a new confidence village's men however will have to pick themselves up really quickly because they face another darby in spartak moscow. r.t. moscow. while over in england also have failed to score for the second straight time in the new premier league season after a dream millet start this sunday after selling last season starts for robin van persie for manchester united also in bangor side again fails to find that following a goal a stalemate at sunderland in the season while in just under ten minutes time brendan
