france's admission that its military supplied weapons to rebels in libya well the situation in north africa and russia's relations with the e.u. and nato have been under the scrutiny of both the country's foreign minister as well and they are now crossing live to their press conference has been see in moscow and as i've been listening as in we. should be ladies and gentlemen we have a very sort of old news relations office was closed. with my colleague mr lynch of pain which ensued in the shoes in which used to. we place very high value in our cooperation in the system and although this is again mr ship a's first visit to russia which as a minister of foreign affairs well if it's you who here is one of the most efficient cultural. refuted and respected french politicians has made a great personal contribution into the strengthening of the russian the french with hardness shaping of news the fronts that include india and his to know as prime minister of france and we value this contribution of mr jabez very much that when you see the war that has been today our bilateral partnership and vari

first of all in the countries of north africa and middle east so. we discuss the situations and believe they're in syria and the situation around those countries you know at the same applies to yemen and place in child bay bridge and in general we have talked about iran's nuclear program. russia and france have been cooperating closely within the three plus three group or the five plus one as it is also known as the usual mature we're interested. in the beginning of full fledged negotiations with iran and we have confirmed now support for the propositions there's a rope russian that unscom. who are opposed to all uranium partners are also a problem ups with the best majority of issues we have discussed the sleeves of we have very close positions on those least on a number of those issues we have certain. stupidity ations is the first of all wars and turning the ways. of reaching our objectives. but in general we so we have no arguments we want to see the world around us in the global community issues consisting of stable democratic regimes flourish

united states is clearly bent on making its regina change policies which we are seeing now in north africa and in the middle east bring them over to latin america from i'm speaking from one as i was in argentina i'm particularly concerned that hugo chavez's health problems will debilitate will weaken the present government in israel and that can be seen as an opportunity by the united states or rather by the global power elite that operate from the united states to promote routine change in venezuela and if it starts in venezuela it will no doubt spread to other countries notably ecuador bolivia perhaps you can argue that it is very interesting that you bring up the issue of america here in the so-called global elite because a chavez has been so anti washington for years now he's very very outspoken in condemning american policies around the world and he has alliances with cuba iran and syria and what the wider implications be then of any change to the region we talk about regime change is that really the main focus here well no doubt about it we are seeing now how the global power elite i

sense approach is the fact that it's people power we've seen we've seen a movement across the north africa across the middle east where people have taken ownership and asking for change this is just an example of that gadhafi had been in power for forty two years he's time was up nonetheless the people said they wanted change the question is not about people wanting change itself is where the change can happen without foreign intervention is for the libyan people to determine their own cause to determine their own country and that's not what's happening currently ok mark i'll give you last word you had what brought the plane into the valley so this puts a hole the libyan people are against him as omar suggests that how is it that he's managed to arm the entire city of tripoli how is it that they clearly are on his side in those mass demonstrations going on over the layout we don't look at falsify they look as genuine as anything else i've seen coming out of libya he clearly has a huge amount of popular support as well let's not blind ourselves so that. i didn't say the all the egyptian all
