technology innovation all the developments around russia we've got the future. it's a pleasure to have you with us here on our team here just in time for the headlines now the casualties mount in syria rebels reportedly shoot down an army helicopter the government is accused of massacring over three hundred people it's all as international pressure continues to grow on damascus with calls for action against president assad and. activists carrying

is doing on the global stage right now i'm joined by. the foreign policy spokesperson for the left party here in germany thanks very much to. syria is of course the major flash point in the world right now what's germany's view on

situation moment i would love to know what my position is on syria and i think the only side i can take those people are still peacefully demonstrating for the right for the democratic and human rights. but the german government officially they don't cite something true of the. civil rights violator repression within the country sure enough but officially going to take many other sides with the rebels to what. informally and we see it from their involvement you know this by ship on the ground another step. invite three and petitions for the time thereafter and train them here so officially they seem to take sides but it's unclear to me who they are now you mentioned the training of politicians for syria without assad how are those people chosen. i know i do your i mean this is by it's not the government think. think think that close to the government would have. somebody

select people and i don't know on the basis of which virtually no clue i mean we have been invited by discussion i'm operating in how can you train some people not to mean we left party blinking in germany we have confidence left politicians some people in syria i would know why i would pick but obviously these are different people so if these people being brought here to germany because germany sees them as being beneficial for the country in the future sure obviously i mean there's sort of an idea this government has which is not out in the public space i don't know about it but obviously they have an idea who they want to govern the country with or this is ethnically based religiously based or politically based no clue and i can't figure i can imagine i would think that they would look for people who are not too close to the muslim brothers so to islam for wave from from outside as

possible maybe not too critical about turkey but i don't know so it's germany setting itself up as the best place to to train politicians for the post saddam era that's what they are doing i mean obviously they are inviting people here and they call it training for the situation there after. so yes they are training people for government positions they want to have the relationship with the german government now you mentioned the muslim brotherhood there are another country where they have huge influences of course in egypt how do you view the situation in that country after their revolution and their transition into a new egypt was very difficult situation for a long time i was afraid that the army would take over. now as of today it looks better so that they are losing some of the power of the military to the elected

president this situation continuous hopefully to future for the situation within egypt what this means for the whole region i mean we have a clash at the border to israel so i really have no idea i think it's very volatile right now for israel libya syria. and especially then all the threats from israel against iran so it's too early to say that the revolution in egypt is one is over everything is peaceful and happy happy but it looks better today than four weeks ago let's move to libya now what's the situation there in your opinion how does a country like libya want to rebuild itself and one of the aftermath very few people talk about is that many of those who fought in libya now went to the area and are now fighting in mali for example were we have no sort of a civil war going on or some really extreme muslim took over the north part of mali many of those fought before that and worked with weapons everything were trained in

libya so we see sort of the fallout of this war in libya in the neighboring countries is there a chance that the type of situation we see right now in libya could be repeated in syria as of today the situation for me in syria looks much worse than in libya because i mean the whole environment you know with the middle east conflict. is one problem the other problem is that right now there seems to be so many other countries. who have their own interests within syria supporting one side or the other turkey with the kurdish problem so they are supporting the movement just to prevent the kurds within syria to have their own you know autonomy then you have the gulf states supporting the rebels you have russia are supporting it you have the cia on the ground you have german spy ship something i mean this seems to be the whole world have their interest now with one group or the other syria and that looks to me like a recent piece for

a long civil war within syria now we talk about contagion when we're talking about the eurozone crisis is there a risk of a wall contagion in the wider middle east area if the situation in syria continues contagion is the very risk why the west right now is hesitant to intervene because they know if you go into a country like syria you have no control of what's going to happen in the neighboring countries with in the center of attention and levanon so that's why right now the west does not want to intervene because the one of the spillover. but is this not the perfect opportunity to work with iran if i would just look at syria i would think. that that's now the time to get in contact with iran but if you look at the current news. threatening more and more in conflict with iran traveling to attack the nuclear sites within iran and with the threat growing by the day and i'm still not confident that these were really keeping at bay until

november. it's very difficult for me to think about getting more contact with iran but at the same time there's the spread of military attack on iran interior. seem to back off the talks that started so hopefully in moscow for example earlier this year so. the problem is that we're not having syria as a problem alone we're not having. a problem in a row now we have turkey because conflict there's escalating everything at the same time so where do you see the future of this argument between israel and iran if tel aviv would be rational. i would be happy and think nothing's going to happen because i think military attack on the. cooking nearly suicidal for israel. considering that with all the change in egypt in the neighboring countries the tech like this you don't know how to how the region would react and if netanyahu the

rational would be happy and safe and think no they won't dare to unfortunately i'm not sure that that and you know is that rational i mean he's increasing he's really increasing his tanks israel attacks. and i'm afraid his calculation might be before the u.s. election i can attack iraq i have to back me after the election he might not want to back so that the gives us really really bad chance that the netanyahu might attack in october as soon as october and starts with an attack and the question is how an attack from. tools for a nuclear science in iran how will that develop. i'm not sure it will develop an all out war but i mean attacks on israel will happen then you don't know how to react with a street of formals whether they will close it or not that will definitely start an all out war in terms of germany's role what job is that germany to do in germany

could really change a lot in that region it was. germany nine years ago to to mediate in the conflict on the not the program it was germany who moved the three plus three talks in the beginning in two thousand and three when i'm talking to passengers in the region when i went to couple of months ago i mean everybody thinks the german should play better the stronger role unfortunately this government just plays. the u.s. courts so whatever the u.s. does they follow it and they don't have any initiative on their own what kind of initiative would you like to see the first thing they could easily do is deescalate the conflict with iran i mean they could really go three four five steps towards to iran and say ok. now we believe that you stopped the military nuclear program in two thousand and three so that we're lifting the sanctions and we are engaging in

human rights talk and economic talks and this and that this journey just lifts the sanctions is that not purely a symbolic act you know it would be much more than symbolic because the u.n. sanctions are rather small and then the e.u. sanctions are much much bigger i mean the oil embargo that's very bad in germany was sort of the powerhouse behind the on the border they could easily have said in a ok we postpone it for another six months postponement not lifting there would have been a very strong signal to turkey. they could have started because she had. to move to move from that i mean i really thought he was my own government and said what's the problem with with a moratorium for three months for six months and it wouldn't go for that because they just follow the u.s. line here they don't have their own policy that's really bad i think the other thing is weapons i mean german arms exports biggest in the world after russia are on the u.s. . and they should stop selling weapons in the region and that involves saudi arabia

as well as israel as well as other countries and they are still sending every kind of weapon to that region what would you like to see from the german government's foreign policy right now i mean if they would do nothing at all i would be happier than what they are doing today i mean officially they're not doing much but then we suddenly can read the newspapers that they sent a spy ship you know that they are monitoring everything that they are helping the rebels against the assad regime they are taking sides in a military conflict exactly wrong i mean better would be if you don't do the right thing to do nothing thank you very much pleasure speaking. you're welcome. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something
