it's four thirty am here in moscow you're watching our t.v. is a recap of all the stories western nations i should say such a military intervention in syria those plans to set up a no fly zone and to mobilize and strike in the country meanwhile the conflict schools further beyond its borders with over a dozen killed in a series of clashes between pro and anti such miters in lebanon. no reason to lenders bravely please do let us say as the judge sentences him to the maximum to twenty one years in prison but that's his case is inspiring even the radical groups across iraq. and a britain has abandoned its threat to storm the ecuadorian embassy in the world

julian assange easing tensions in the diplomatic standoff between the two nations comes just said day after the blog absolved and north american nations it's president's support of three to. five nights is our in-depth interview our team talks to the head of a belgian based syrian friendship association chris johnson the main theme regional tension in the middle east and why the current conflict in syria is now at the center. today we're joined by christiane sen he's an avid listener specializing in the middle east particularly syria renia relations and he also founded be a syrian a friendship association here in belgium about four years ago thanks very much levasseur yes for joining us today the first question i'd like to ask to establish the basis of your opinion you established this is so c.h.m.

syrian friendship does that mean you were 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 this bloodshed is by following the path of pretty for a lot to offer firelands so if i say i'm pro 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 mint who also is willing to follow this path of reform 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 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 to 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 members of the 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 they managed to live together for 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 that up. 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 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 door to it will be hezbollah in lebanon on the one days these two allies are taken out. they will concentrate one hundred percent on the

them 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 guess 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 as 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 for mercenaries or doing it for the money but you also have no out qaeda which is active in. syria because they hope to be finding 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 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 of the. origin of the muslim brotherhood. they already 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 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 purpose is to destroy the iranian regime because. when you're 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 times 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. birth person is to get an upcoming bomb or a nuclear weapon and then they told me why should we need in that period a weapon i mean even if we manage to make one appear a weapon. there is a difference between having a nuclear weapon and to be capable to deliver its 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 its. 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 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 your dope in the united states. they're not really aware they don't know what really the situation in the middle east what they know about it's based on cliche is you know like a very black white picture you know the good guys and the bad guys and even amazed that a lot of people don't really 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 the 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 only christian orthodox christian and greek orthodox matter i need. living together for hundred of your very peacefully. but most people here don't trivialize this thanks very much for your time it was

a pleasure. you know sometimes to see a story and it seems so for lengthly you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm tom hartman welcome to the big picture. from zero zero zero.

zero zero. i've been going down over the song and good morning we will remember that we will get a little bit. wealthy british silence on roads and that's not on the title. of the. markets find. find out what's really happening to the global economy for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines to name two cars a report on our. it would.

to stories that stable the western nations inching closer to military intervention in syria with plans to set up there by certain and threats to the us why they use like all the clinton meanwhile the cold examples clearly beyond its borders a little bit doesn't seem so much. want to sit in that. knowledge until landers break their kids declared same as a judge sentences going into the lesson in twenty one years in prison that says a state's is inspiring even. the most senior. britain has abandoned its threat to still be added laurean the embassy and arrest him a staunch easing tensions a diplomatic standoff between the two nations just a lot of the american expressed support for the. next

stop of the sport update to will take its. hello welcome to the sports and here are the headlines looking up to go forth with a three nil win over clearly as the very top why is samuel eto lake grace helps angie beat the kids all day in the russian premier league. while all those even champions manchester city twice come from behind to draw two two at liverpool drop snow again finished goalless up stove top flight. check might produce the edges motor g.p. lead full day lorenzo to win his second straight broad pre narrow the gap to the top. but first

a football and most go up to full softer trancing creosote off three nil in the russian premier league alexander sound of the home side ahead catching clear goal keeper but then put away as the long range after only six minutes then added a second just before the interval and it's a go of providing for this one. and with the five minutes left after made the rocky two moussaka latched on to a mark on top of its cross to net his first goal of the season so the army men wrapped up their third win in a row to go forth with just a point now separate from the top five slipped to eleven. and in the late game samuel eto scored a laser braces and he went six with a pull to win at home to promoted more tovia. mounted an impressive fight back to rally from two goals down to draw two two at home to cross that off all the goals coming in the first tof that is fine though it left much to be desired as you

would bag to brace within five minutes to get the distance and apparently come to bring me. the media striker has now scored six goals. as in as many matches then if you took the stuff he pulled one back out. to a. level of matters and two two was how it stayed. while on saturday twice former champions rubin came from behind to win two one it is the need to inflict a first defeat of the season on the defending champions watched on by russian manager fabio capello that defies even put the home side ahead not in any beast of cost twenty five minutes but seven minutes after the break alexander is done so it was filed in the area for the visitors the press not sure level from the penalty spot for the israelis six goal in as many games and on the hour the man at the helm and cat netted from long range what proved to be billions without wrapping up the perfect present for coach goodman body of who turned sixty on saturday. and that's

a defeat for the chanos selectees men meant a win for spots i get informed to read and see the moscow side go top amnesty to argentina and every time i'm inside out from the court i'm off to sixty seven minutes. with ten minutes to go eat or i never drank a level four to write this wonderful. right to speak to. the camp was once again left in stoppage time brazilian defended antonio fluoresce match winner i was signed to one thing up this road winning games to leapfrog spot act and go at that point it suits us while over in england carlos tevez capitalized on a defensive howler to help champions manchester city it's not a late two two draw in a stroller at liverpool to deny brendan rodgers a first victory as reds manager the reds let through martin shuffles ahead after thirty four minutes at city levels just after the hour when ya touré pounced on

a defensive mistake then the home side immediately regained the leave thanks to luis suarez free kick but with ten minutes to go. intercepted all that passed to ensure it finished two two while early also failed to score for the second straight league game off the selling top scorer robin valley firstly to manchester united as they drew in nil minutes stoke which followed last week's goalless open up against sunderland. defensively and as long as we didn't score and you know they were happy with the point you could see that. and. if you do point. to drop. i would. choose to go on. but it's made a good point because different for everybody. and his now and patrick fit about 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 the last

performance in the move to rainey and. now the brilliant blend of europeans has gained some russian flavor with making his debut these images in the political two multi-cultural race over the last weekend but it's the latter assume it's a great honor for me to be russia's representative on such an outstanding boat shoulder to shoulder with the likes of yacc and schumann and one viola who are sailing screen with a crop this is a great chance for all of us to bring our skills together and reach the top in cheshire. the first race for the russian was expected to be a real challenge for the health team as the weather conditions was far from perfect and for she will expect hard light breeze when the big question will be going west of sitting across a girl going on these are all going to the middle so there are a lot of strategic options and obviously following the weather reports the race proved to be one of the harris tests these i'm a team had ever had escaping out of debt combs. tried

a brand new route me at the tail and killed. which gave the yacht the lead in the dying minutes just twenty miles from the finishing. carl. was a long one when you would really not a record but actually trust for cost to go along italian coast and he made a very early decision to split to the right and then we realized soon on the track of that nobody else got the same play on the risky tactic proved to be the best with the team's victorious record remaining intact and in the meantime his immature all parties once again challenging the elements on the course between the narco unforced cheryl near certainty near. the team of outstanding europeans based on going all out to be in the record set in two thousand and three. a bit but in your own party. and that's all the sports news i have.
