fishing is taking the bread out of our mouths. the potential obstacles to peace talks on syria and why nato holds military drills as seemingly. foreign minister sergei lavrov visits altie studio i'm sure as his thoughts. about the time kills fourteen people endangers over one hundred at a security building in northern agent the government spokesperson blames the muslim brotherhood a brand to get a terrorist group. on the us a personal diplomacy in south sudan as a raging battles between all the functions threaten to shut up american farms out of oil.

this is all seem to national coming to live from moscow hello and welcome to the program. russia's top diplomat says serious humanitarian crisis is being used as a tool to disrupt negotiations on ending the civil war that. spoke exclusively to c and he was among those who interviewed the foreign minister and joins me now live back how they you were what did the foreign minister have to say well we spoke for around an hour and touched upon a lots of issues but with the recent diplomatic breakthroughs that took place this year with the iranian nuclear program and the chemical arms deal with syria obviously a lot of attention was focused on that and according to city go up it off as the international community currently is working on the geneva two conference aimed to

bring a diplomatic solution to the conflict in syria he named some of the key challenges which clearly will players are facing and he said that one of the main problems at the moment are preconditions still being voiced by the syrian opposition which include this demand for president assad to step down from power only after that most of the opposition in syria they see only after that will be able to take place in any peace conference and he did say that what russia wants to see is one of the main topics which this conference should focus on is terrorism in syria the jihad forces or jihad his forces fighting there on the side of the opposition but there with their own personal to stablish islamic regimes on the teacher of syria according to say go off this is a big problem which in fact the g. eight earlier has called on both sides of the conflict both the authorities and the

opposition to try to get rid of these terrorists jihadi extremists to get rid of them get them out of the equation that would make. a diplomatic solution much more possible now also the foreign minister said that the humanitarian situation in the country is definitely going to be discussed and it is quite worrying matter but the same time he did say that this topic the humanitarian crisis there is now also being used and manipulated with the one sided approach pointing the finger of blame on the syrian authorities. to some people who should try to take advantage of this humanitarian disaster just like it happened with the chemical weapons. use the government everything negative that happens there including the humanities here in crisis there was

a resolution adopted in the u.n. general assembly that doesn't reflect the actual situation on the ground start only ideology this initiative has no future and. we buy the d.v.d.'s of such spoilers. with the geneva two conference in the offing just. now you just heard the minister say spoilers some people some players but in general said go out of says that the position of the west has changed shifted towards syria with a more balanced approach turning up the. western countries see this problem differently they're becoming more realistic in their approach to the syrian settlement regardless of what they are official spokesman say the threat of terrorism in syria the threat of

coming to power in syria and setting out to kill a feat of violating their rights and maybe even exterminating minorities in syria this is the number one problem and the realisation of the fact that the regime change is not the way to solve this problem. become increasingly clear above that. also spoke about the relationship between russia and nato there is a russian nato council which works with an aim to create more trust more transparency in the relationship but according to the foreign minister sometimes it's not really clear to moscow what nato does since seventy simply there were massive drills held on not far away from russia's western borders it wasn't really clear what was their purpose since they were working out defending the alliance

from an attack and then according to said go off some states just admitted openly saying that they have now worked out all the possible schemes to defend themselves from an attack from the east and to go out of says in moscow this is really not clear due to the fact that we are trying to work if you will create this trust and transparency. you are many thanks indeed for that. live and you can watch exclusive interview with the russian foreign minister in for later this hour so stay tuned. a bomb attack in the egyptian city of one syria has killed at least fourteen people and injured over one hundred some interruption officials have put the blame on the muslim brotherhood tom dale has more now from cairo. around one am series of at least two explosions went off inside and just next to the security directorate building in months. we know that at least two senior security officers are among the dead according to state t.v.

and this is the deadliest the most audacious in a series of attacks a series of bombings which are plagued egypt since the july third ouster of mohamed morsy. and the group which has been behind most of these bombings which has claimed most of them it's called unsought beat them up this thing the parties under jerusalem. while they haven't yet claimed responsibility for this attack they didn't shoot a statement two days ago where they specifically warned employees of the security services that they would be targets and that they weren't safe. so this is an all day since the time on which apparently managed to penetrate. the inside of a security building destroying as you can see from your pictures part of the top three floors and one which poses a real question about egypt's transition post the ouster of president mohamed morsy the first official reaction was from a spokesman for the cabinet office who appeared to blow the muslim brotherhood and

who said that they had been designated as a terrorist organization however shortly afterward the prime minister hasn't we emerged to say that the the muslim brotherhood had not being so designated that they aren't officially considered to be a terrorist organization and it should be said that it's very common for quite casual connections to be drawn between the brotherhood and terrorist activity for their own part of course the brotherhood denied any involvement and condemned the attack. and lawrence freeman from executive intelligence review magazine says egypt's interim government pays too much attention to fighting the muslim brotherhood and too little to the needs of the people that. the current government . cleary the interim president. made a decision that they have to see. the muslim brotherhood for the sake and survive. the. really

months since the change in power this summer and unfortunately really the more important aspects that were egypt's got to go in the future not yet be acted on in the full scope people really need is the need ok nomic to goldman we need jobs in the future and all the details on the latest attack in egypt as well as the unrest plaguing the country can be found on our website r.t. dot com had there for. the former vice president of south sudan who is now leading an armed rebellion has said he may negotiate with the government that's according to the u.s. special envoy who's working frantically to prevent a country from falling apart as iteration that would harm on washington's interests there american corporations have had their sights on the country's oil zones a sort of broke away from saddam in twenty eleven the new borders contain over

seventy percent of the sudanese reserve now there are reports that army defectors a sour sedan are we control of these areas after two weeks of violence which has seen hundreds of people killed pulis here has more details. it is the boots newest country but it is south sudan already on the brink of its own a full blown divisive conflict you're dealing with a civil war that knows no bounds in terms of how long that's would last of course it has no determination as to how many people lose their lives not to mention those who will be displaced and the latest coup the vice president forced out which it's claimed ignited his loyalists into a deadly rebellion yet just two and a half years ago the world rushed to recognize south sudan with washington among the loudest supporters in south sudan has mining rees reserves and it also has massive oil reserves those are the biggest interests land for oil mining and agricultural production the agents of power that have put in place the government

of silva cur the agent that supported the south sudan sudan people's liberation army would be the government of uganda and powerful factions from the united states including corporate executives from the oil companies so the oil companies have served their interests have been served by bringing deescalate to power which they did and they succeeded in creating a separate independent state called south sudan now though a key oil producing area has fallen into when it gave forces a huge blow to a government that relies on the industry for just about all of its money well i'm afraid it's going to affect each and every one of us worldwide you will see a tail pullback in terms of production levels from the south sudan which will impinge on global world prices of oil and alternately we would fill it out the pumps irrespective of where you are in the world where you go to a lot so prices will go up but there will be panic in the markets and the lost

cause ultimately the biggest losers will be the south sudanese people falling fuel firms are pulling stuff out and in many cases winding production down to zero last weekend for american service personnel wounded as the military aircraft came under fire during an attempt to evacuate u.s. civilians to say. president obama warns that he may take further action to keep american safe i mean south sudan was never you know a country that had proper infrastructure and the main complaint from from the people is where is the money going why are most south sudanese on the edge of survival and you know the new government is already driving their set a stance and building these huge houses this fledgling nation born out of decades of civil rule is facing the toughest test of shorty existence but the population weary of feinstein and flynn has fallen down the priority list of those championing the moves to get south sudan put on the map paul is here r.t.

. and there are plenty of factors behind south sudan's failure to build a stable state since gaining independence for ethier open diplomat and expert in africa one hundred her son told us what he sees as the main reason i. know it is the political conflict to keep him from above could not solve their own problem and this problem grows into a division in the ugly and then there's also a tube of course exceptional forces probably also their own role. that also down there is a very big rose and this was a supposed to be a blessing for the people of the. book knowledge becoming a noted mirror and igniting a sectarian war which would be very dangerous for the rooms or done not only for the people of so that and so that also for the region they tuned for more news on r.c.a. international from me after this very short break. no

origin. stories others live in the. places change the world like. to picture.

from around the globe. welcome box international it's good to have you where those twenty fourteen is almost upon us and will been basing here s.l.c. international sorting through the stories and regulations that defined the outgoing year. fracking was sold to the wild as a revolution entry destined to drive down bills and make the west an interest self-sufficient but what wasn't in the marketing pitch or the devastating cost base here has been dotted with frankly horror stories which has in turn have given birth to a global crusade against shale gas drilling has point to boycott reports now for what

has become a model of cranking resistance romania. locals in this remote region of remaining i have been saddled with and i'm going to guest u.s. energy giant chevron is due to begin drilling for shale gas bills ople agriculture is our lives come to drill in our soil for sure all will die because we've seen an engine know what they have done in other places when we came up with many residents here fear that the process of fracking could release chemicals into the soil and contaminate the water. i'm so afraid of this kind of guess exploitation people see they will be big problems for our animals because the wood will be affected and this one and the food for animals and for us and our children as well we have children and grandchildren what should we do these locals and environmentalist been camped out here braving the elements in order to stand up to

us oil giant chevron and the remaining government which has given them the green light to start exploratory drilling in that field over that without any public consultation. ok let's look biggest problem and problem. gives through just people and two real true. feeling of stooging because they didn't ask. we didn't matter to them. the sense of betrayal is echoed by most protesters there are many in prime minister was against fracking during his election campaign but after being voted into office he changed his mind and granted chevron permits for the controversial practice but now nothing is happening chevron were forced to leave the area last week on able to get past the locals

human chain around the site but it's only a matter of time when they can guess they don't have any future because the children present the future the old people in the village told us that they can die but this is important for us to have a future chevron told our sea that they have all the required permits to begin drilling and plan to return to the site and begin fracking safely assume as they can something that's less than reassuring for the growing number of people gathering here when we hope to stop them even if it means paying with our lives and if they want to send the army we will die if it is speeded for us to die so loaded b. who won't give up until the outlaw fracking in romania or loike a pretty gestae romania up next a unique glimpse into world affairs for the eyes of russia's foreign minister in his exclusive interview with r.t. and an.

these are. braving the elements in order to. see us oil giants. this comes after a massive hunger strike that returned the world's attention to the place that some have dubbed the gulag of our times. is an undeclared global battlefield in which is just one of the front lines.

missed a lot of roof think you find the time to come here to ot see to give we have representatives of the spanish. to english and if there are no objections from my colleagues or else be the first of two thousand and thirteen has been learned mark that year for the russian diplomacy how do you personally assess the arrangements on syria and iran what are the prospects of the geneva two conference. that we have reached some very useful agreements. and i think this success is. due to our collective efforts and this is another evidence that.

only achieve certain results when we all work together based on the principles of international law. that was the way to go i would not call this year a breakthrough year talking about syria and iran what happened i mean was that the green meant to dismantle the syrian chemical weapons stockpile. agreements. and plans for the iranian nuclear program all of this is the result of meenie years of effort setlist as far as syria is concerned we have being insisting on the principles of international law for three years and what happened would be a rainy and nuclear program this also has been going on for a long time actually more than three years it's we insisted on two points first of

all all parties involved should agree that the final goal is to resolve the situation in a way but that the right to all the wren to peaceful nuclear program including the reach mint for the purpose of producing fuel for nuclear reactors. as long as old questions and doubts related to the possibility of this program having him military to mention. and full control by the. program is. ensuring the security of all countries in the region and. our western partners however that they could not agree with this for a long time i think this is a very fierce statement that in six into account the interests of all countries in their region interests so all countries around the world were in the interests of

nonproliferation. so finally. just. as we were approaching the end of the year we were able to reach disagreement then there is also another aspect another issue with the. we need to really medal this term is very popular and these days. because. it's hard to resolve a problem in support in one step so you have to advance stage by stage it has to be mutual. takes a step just to meet the demands by the i.a.e.a. and then the international community in response takes a step to lift some of the sanctions and we go like this step by step until iran systems meets our requirements and then all sanctions will build lifted so that we can use this kind of understanding. the end game

and the method we conduct talks we spent several years working on that and we also insisting on the need for political settlement in syria so if this year was a breakthrough year it was because of years of hard work and patience on the part of the russian federation which because. at the beginning of the arab spring we were accused of being on the wrong side of history losing the arab street losing the meta least unfortunately our western partners at that stage and actually some partners in the region and in the has the they were not apt to be. efforts looking for solutions that would help the nations of this region to exercise their right to a better life they used principles which may be described as the principles of

information warfare. there i just mentioned what we had back in those years and even at the beginning of this year. i recognized that there were some very important decisions that were eventually made by a western partners so if there was a breakthrough this breakthrough came as a result of. the work and my second reserve ation i have regarding this term breakthrough it has to do with the future because decisions taken with a regard to syria and iran there are far from being fully implemented yet as far as serious concerned the process is under way as planned that we had to adjust some of the timeframe but. these each estimates that it's happened for objective reasons and the final goal of june thirtieth is the deadline for dismantling the entire syrian chemical weapons stockpile i

think will meet this deadline as far as johnny would too is concerned we still have our work cut out for us we are not certain at this point that this. event will be successful we can talk about this in more detail later and as far as the reigning nuclear program is concerned we have only greeted the first stage in much detail the technical experts are currently working on nickel details related to the steps to be taken by iran and the international community but then will have the second stage. we need also a detailed. mutual steps until the point which we can describe as the final point in the settlement process so we're still in the intermediary stage we have achieved a lot. that's true but. currently.

it will shortz i don't think you do much in the future and it is. possible to say that we are there i think that would be premature at this point. so if the she says things with the mr staying with syria salem and on the generally and what's happening in the country is that we're hates was the because of this arab spring what is the ballons weeks when security and democracy what lessons could learn from the arab spring since the war's threat. for the region in terms of terrorism. i think the number of countries who repudiate democracy steadily decreasing two d. schools and democracy is the way all. the way to the nation works nation is

organized russia has made this choice and it's syria. but. we know that there is no alternative to democratic development. and at the same time we strongly believe it is every country to choose their model to choose democracy is their model of development based on their history their traditions their values of course there are some universal criteria when you go to. these criteria have been universally approved i mean like the charter of the united nations the declaration of human rights which old members of the united nations have subscribed to but when a group of countries makes it introduce something in addition to universally

accepted principles to impose their values and we see this happening in recent years maybe two or three decades of imposing. those beings own everybody else when this happens. this results in conflicts of. certain democracies may want to impose their principles on the other countries by force and this is no longer a democracy this is democratic. and this may result in instability this is what happened when and they were invaded iraq and this is happening to de. when in violation of the un mandate if they need to bomb libya and this happens in many other countries in the region this syrian conflict. is an example of that.

but so. many of these terrorists from all over the world including even european countries the us the russian federation has a lot of militants fighting in syria to set up a caliphate here in not just in syria in this entire region so this is. attempts to in the impose democracy from outside these destabilizes the situation and produces new threats near risks. that will so. and on the contrary stability any chances and democratic proces and makes them more effective so i have no doubt that the conference which will probably take place on january twenty second.
