escalating violence. that southeast asian nations. just ahead of a visit to beijing secretary of state hillary clinton four nations to work together on the issue of the south china sea. we speak to a german journalist for his first hand accounts from deep inside the syrian conflict there. i. as the conflict in syria continues to unfold under the watchful gaze of the world's media there are all those that say that we aren't receiving the full picture of what's going on on the ground in the embattled middle eastern country now one of those people joins me right now manuel ox and i thank you very much for speaking to me thank you well to start off how long were you in syria and where were you what

did you see i was for nine days in syria in july and i was exactly the time when the so-called bentyl of damascus was reaching and i was inside damascus all the time and i could compare every day the worldwide media coverage and with what i saw with my own eyes now what you saw while you were on the ground in syria doesn't seem to fit with what we're seeing on our t.v. screens does it well at first it is a difference everybody saw what's in damascus because the worldwide media coverage of the mainstream media coverage claimed that the massacres is was at that time when this so-called battle of the massacres that massacres will cain or the opposition of there were the rebels about armed opposition called this operation they were saying that hold on must because it's on fire their heavy fighting so i think even a couple of days later when the battle was reaching they were saying that now the rebels are so close to the city center they are a power to conquer now the city the government will fall i was inside the city and

then you didn't see any of them therefore there was no war in the city of course they were in some suburbs you saw that that they were fighting but it wasn't at all a better reaching inside the city now in terms of the scale of this conflict nine days isn't a whole lot of time to spend on the ground there has been going on for over a year what you saw though did you feel that that was typical of what was the beliefs and feelings of people in syria in general what i didn't we. inus is the beginning what what happened in march or in april last year when when the demonstrations and so on began and what i witnessed as i spoke to a lot of people who are not outspoken not with the syrian government and they didn't have any problems to tell me as a foreign journalist that they are not with their government but in this is i think the most important difference of the media coverage here they were all against this war which is now raging so they said all of the we are not with our government

right now we support our army in pushing back the foreign terrorists from our countries so then we can make the changes and the reforms we need in our country now you've been quite critical of german foreign policy concerning syria one of the main problems for you well first of all it's really ridiculous how drew money seems to react on what is happening in syria because. i got very much the impression that the german policy makers the german politicians get all their information by the mainstream media and i ask myself why if we use to have an embassy in this country why do you use to have diplomatic personnel in this country and by the way why do we have a secret service who is monitoring what is going on so i can give you a couple of examples it's what is maybe the most well known example is the so-called massacre of houla what happened before i arrived there when. killed i don't know any more of the number i think of where one hundred eight

people were a lot of civilians and also children some of them and all the western governments including the german reacted very quickly by sending home the syrian ambassador and almost closing the syrian embassies without waiting for an extermination order really happened so when later on it came out and this is not a conspiracy theory at the swatches and the official thing what came out later that this message or what took place was not cost by the syrian army and the syrian security forces there nothing happened usually you should say ok i made a wrong decision sorry for this please come back so we can keep our diplomatic relations so you see this is one point we we are doing a lot of things based on. more or less very very bad information sources but when it comes out later that it's wrong we don't step back now their example which is maybe a little bit more funny if you compared but it's serious of course if you look of about the political consequences of his was the so-called syrian gager if you

remember last year in june there is several. homosexuals in she owes where not just to clarify what you're speaking about was a a blog that was supposed to be from a lesbian woman in syria that turned out to actually be written by a man based in scotland. so so it was it came out in june there was a big campaign they were claiming that this syrian. well which never existed which is also it well known today that she never existed that she was arrested by the security forces so the german chairman for for human rights in the german foreign ministry mark was learning from the liberal party was immediately reacting he gave a statement on what happened and he was saying this is showing obvious that there's a sub government is not taking seriously the reforms in t. show the release immediately i mean up dollar so what came out i think just two or days two or three days later it came out that it was as you say at the u.s.

american guy located in scotland to making this bloc so it was a complete fraud so what was for me interesting as a journalist where two questions the first question was how does it how does it manage that german official is reacting so quick on such an issue and the second much more important question is when it comes out later that it is also fraught how do we react to we say sorry do we take it back do we corrected for the german audience are you a critique of the citizen journalism i'm not i'm not criticizing it generally because this citizen journalism can be a really important instrument but what we learn about the within the conflict of syria is that this so-called citizen journalism is abused by several to end shields by by lobby groups who are abusing like the like what for what ends are they being abused for making pressure on politicians for making decisions for example the

decision of breaking up diplomatic relations with a country that is decision to support with financial means and with technology means the so-called opposition to make. but who gains from that no nobody makes a decision nobody pushes this hard without gaining something in what you're saying who gains out of the situation you put forward. well they have they are there are a couple of interest groups who benefit from such a politics you have it first the interest groups of the big interests interest groups of the western governments who want to have the regime change there and who are supporting that the information you get from these countries are very much one sided or money that where you're speaking about information there was a statement it came out from a senior u.s. military official who said that if you want information on syria first call is always to germany germany's far more involved in this than most people think only

yes unfortunately and it's really really very embarrassing for for germany because what i don't see what i really don't see is any german national interest so in my opinion this shows in particular foreign policy that germany's they're not really acting like a super in state should to me personally i don't see in a society why we should invite fifty syrian opposition groups to germany to educate them in berlin by educate what do you mean their political trading what we are doing by that is that we support the overthrow of the syrian government we are interfering in syrian why shouldn't germany train these people in how the democratic process works to make sure that syria isn't run by the guy with the most guns in his hands is that our german chop is that our german shock to train people from all over the road what happens if their government is overthrown and a revolution is taking palace what with the russian what the russians say if if we train our people to overthrow putin what would the u.s. american see if we train now here by takes pay us money so we all donating this as

the germans for a revolution in u.s. or in any other country so we are now or in that case of syria maybe the populations are look this government is so cruel and this assad is so mean he's so brutal he's a slaughter it's good that we trained its people because it basis and we were talking before and this is wrong information that it's wrong image of what is going . on that country so you see this this fits together but as i said if this is really my point of view it's not our job as germans to educate and to train people or taking over governments in other countries it's not our job to do our job is to get good relations to put the government's existing this is my point well this conflict in syria isn't going anywhere anytime soon it does seem and it's plenty much more we could talk about say for now thank you very much ben well i think you are.

culture is that so much i know i am an american which of course he's right on economy and so here they come for a lackluster and even slightly bizarre republican convention nominee mitt romney president now it's time for the democrats to reaffirm their. secret laboratory to mccurry was able to build a new its most sophisticated robot which all unfortunately doesn't give a darn about anything tim's mission to teach music creation why it should care about humans and work this is why you should care only on the doggone. wealthy british style sign. on the time.

champions deny moscow a wedge run as a part of god three two on penalties in the season opening match here in the russian capital. but first go to the hard courts of the u.s. open tennis why victoria azarenka has become the first player to book a place in the semifinals of the women's singles at flushing meadows the world number one on top seed not tao defending champion australia stosur in three sets the belorussians story in the six one stosur took the second six four forcing a decider which as a rank a took on a tie break leaving stosur relinquishes her grip on the trophy she won twelve months ago. of course is always going to be disappointing when you lose you know a good quarter of the u.s. open but i really think the website i thought it was a really really good you know that was what i point out to him so. you know i'm really happy with the way that i played and gave it everything. went fine adapted for advisors into the quarter finals following

a straight sets victory over freshman rashard gasket however heavy rain in new york forced the rest of the day's matches to be postponed defending champion novak djokovic she was an early breakout going stanislav blondie roddick and one martin del potro were in a first tiebreaker. football and russia have been dealt a blow head of friday's opening world cup qualifier at home to northern ireland spartak strike are trying out with a knee injury i worry for the manager fabio capello has already dropped captain andre arshad in which yvonne put reports if capello wanted to stamp his authority on his new russian side he certainly achieved that he made the tough decision to drop former captain one day a sharp in there's almost been a neighbor present for his country over the last decade however the arsenal striker hasn't been in great form this season drama should all have say as it is a surprise not to see his former senate team mate in the squad i think it's a surprise as he was always in the squad before but capello obviously wants to take

a different path and i don't really have a lot to say about than he's a good player and has played very well for us i think it's a shame that he's not in the squad russia play their first world cup qualifier against northern ireland on friday and will be looking to qualify for football's biggest tournament for the first time since two thousand and two capello has been given the task of getting russia to brazil and cheryl cole says it's great to work with the italian and i said look here in theory the coaches have all been similar with capello though training is different we didn't play well at the euros and we really motivated to play well whenever we put on a russian shirt we always give our best there are a number of new faces in the russian squad who didn't really feature under former head coach to counter counts it defies all in black and on the issue all relatively new and for the latter who's already twenty eight his call up came as a bit of a surprise. to you i'm really happy to be called up i think i have worked hard and

that's why capello has given me a chance. russia's players didn't know too much about the northern irish team will both be on friday or they are expecting a tough physical battle against a side during the two hundred one in the world of abi apollos i'm just over a month to get to know his new players but this is where the going gets tough for the italian as he looks to try and help russia qualify for will be the first world cup since two thousand and two or capello's already made a bold statements by dropping former captain andrea charbonneau and he'll be hoping to play is what he selected and help russia get off to the perfect start in the world cup qualifying campaign with victory over northern ireland on friday richard d'arcy. so after losing the russia captaincy what's next for andrea are shoving well according to press reports he could be set for a move to deny a moscow british newspapers reports claiming that the arsenal are ready to let the thirty one year old leave the club on a free transfer the deal would need to be completed soon however with the russian

chorionic rifled back home to give on guard and one nothing lead it to do now is some time to get back into it but denise cocker if levelled matters four minutes before the end of the second converting on a powerplay and the blue and white should have scored in the other but hear about bank of failed to capitalize on a penalty shot however play off top score in the haleigh neeson did give denominate two one lead on a powerplay in the decisive period but seven minutes before the final buzzer made all square again. one time that being point bass from alexandre for all off on a counter-attack this core line didn't change in the overtime and the game went to shoot out thirty year old forward for a lot of was the only a longer play to put his name on the scoreboard in the shoot out wild in amma's new signing swede that he heard and that exceeds with call of both sand the box into the back of the net speak to kill it to wrap up the blue and whites first when they were separated by things like especially for the second period we were better or.

at least i think so too bad and we didn't even score a little bit more it was the first match so we were a little bit overwhelmed by you motions is good that we managed to win the and earn two points so did i came from behind this shootout win over their rivals from the eastern conference in the opening cracka and the feet gave shell season promises to meet the high expectations and become the best in the history constantine but out of. now engulf america's ryder cup captain davis love the third his pick his wild card for the competition which begins later this month steve stricker dustin johnson brandt snedeker and the two thousand and three u.s. open champion jim furyk have been selected to join tiger woods and it was the usa now to wrestle the trophy away from defending champions europe we have a great eighteen a team member new nucleus that we got as the p.g.a.

only was it the first time that the g.t. championship had come to russia but also for the first time dishy both the g.t. one world championships and the mostly amateur g.t. three european championships lined up together on the same grid. despite bad weather and little knowledge of the newly built raceway track the drivers were quick to adapt belgian audi club team w party completed a solid g.t. one qualifying race florence one full and still fun for the telly secured ball position well oliver jarvis and frank steep finished third at the same time g.t. three championship leaders maximillian burke and dominic bowman won the battle with the treacherous conditions to take the first race when that first time we were assisted to do wanker guys. yeah i had a lot of fun it was not easy to go on contact with them just to do my race
