absolutely but part of the reason why they weren't safe yesterday was because of how much pressure the institutions were under how much act how many acquisitions there were that they wouldn't be able to produce a free fair election what we've seen is that the institutions in the maldives that were created by the constitution are in fact independent they did work as they were supposed to and democracy is continually safeguarded in the country pressure on the institutions from whom precisely if it wasn't the man who is soon to be ex president. i'm sorry peter so that again the pressure on the institutions that you're talking about i'm intrigued to know where that pressure was being applied and it was being applied boy. world was being applied by the international community more than anything else even in your report just now there were number of accusations that were made against the current administration and past administrations that are false one of the problems

that we have is that the narrative is often controlled by those who are outside of the country because when you have a country like the maldives al-jazeera c.n.n. b.b.c. you can't have people on the ground all the time and the story often isn't accurate which is one of the very difficult things over government representative ok when you talk about external force forces mysti i mean the security force you see how the judges he had the judiciary under him and yet he still lost not it not at all period the jury's independent the legislature's independent find the military and security forces under the president because that's how an executive presidential system works but he lost because it's a free and fair election because the people have spoken and they chose the opposition candidate. we can assume the indian government is happy possibly the chinese government is less. how should the new president make sure that your
6:55 pm
country manage use successfully to plot a course away from ending up in this massive debt trap because beijing has been pumping so much money into your economy for so long the president elect is one of the longest if not the longest serving parliamentarian in our legislature he knows very well the systems under which we have been able to take secure loans create these massive infrastructure projects and one of the things that you know we mentioned and we talked about yesterday was that there is a lot of sensationalist rhetoric that isn't accurate both india and china will remain close development partners both under this administration and the next as i said that with india india is of course happy will continue to be happy and it is not what is our longest as our longest friend. when it comes to china i have every expectation that they will be just as happy to be able to work with the next
6:56 pm
administration that comes into power ok that's not quite an answer to the question i asked you i asked you the question which was this could the president elect or should the president elect slightly row back from that relationship particularly with the chinese because there's a fiscal robbing peter to pay paul situation in play in real time right now you've got those big capital investment projects you've got that massive motorway that takes you across the ocean to the island airport that's a multi-billion dollar deal that could if that goes west if that goes wrong but could tilt your economy into recession into fiscal depression that has to be dealt with. this is the sensationalism i'm talking about the bridge was not a multi-billion dollar deal it cost a couple hundred million dollars and what was the fact of that deal is that it was paid for by more than fifty percent of it was granted aid and the rest of it was a concessional loan to say that this will cause an immense financial burden for the
6:57 pm
country is is not accurate and this is exactly why the relationship i expect to be maintained exactly at the current levels we think that many of our other partners will be happier as well because their candidate the candidate they were hoping to win has won but when it comes to the economic relationship that we've had with china when it comes to economic relationship in the military relationship that we've had with the united states and with india i believe that these relationships will be maintained that they'll continue forward in a strong manner every president of course has a honeymoon period for the new president mr saul or what's the first political landmine that he's got to be aware of that sitting down the road waiting for him. when the president elect one he's one with this fairly large coalition of many parties in the maldives the last time m.v.p. came into power in two thousand and eight within three months that coalition for
6:58 pm
the part one of the biggest challenges that the president elect will have is making sure the coalition stays together but is able to keep his partners happy this is very diverse group of people that he's able to create a power sharing arrangement in a presidential system which is not an easy goal he'll have a lot of difficulties coming up especially given that there's a parliamentary election less than six months down the line and the political campaigning you know the vicious sort of infighting that tends to come before an election will be president and that's a very big challenge not just for the president elect but for the modern community as well ok we mostly but the heat in geneva many thanks for your time again today. russia has announced it's going to supply a specialist missile defense system to syria it comes just a week after one of its planes was shot down by inaccurate syrian anti-aircraft fire now on sunday the russian defense ministry blamed israel for the incident in which twenty five servicemen died it says israeli jets hid behind its aircraft

pushing it into the path of syrian fire israel denies the russian accusations the israeli air force regularly enters syrian airspace it says it targets hezbollah positions to moscow road challenge joining us here on the news how significant is this. well there are a couple of big steps that have just been taken by the russian ministry of defense the headline one as you've just given is this intention to supply s. three hundred air defense systems to the syrian military within two weeks but then there's another step that they're taking which is to jam radar and on board communication systems military and book communication systems sat nav that sort of thing in the eastern mediterranean off syria's coast now both of these things seem to be directed in part. israel or at least you know sort of putting is right on warning not to do what's russia says it did last week which is
7:00 pm
be responsible for the downing of a russian plane now the s. three hundred system has a friend and foe detection system which the the system that syria has been using up until now the s two hundred didn't have which is one of the reasons why this plane was shot down by accident it's a big step from the russian ministry of defense it essentially puts other aviation powers in the area or warning that they can't really use syria's airspace for their own devices now the interesting thing here is the kremlin has been on a slightly different tack from the ministry of defense over this the kremlin has been trying to play down on this instead.
