of don't speak about the connection between afghanistan the troops we have in afghanistan and nato it's sort of kept aside so people in this country they are not in favor of their soldiers in afghanistan and it was not at all brought up in the campaign for the election last autumn. so i can't on that i can see it's sort of simon's the whole thing. it was very obvious when it was. it was. suicide bombers that got down no newspaper connected this with the fact that swedish troops are in afghanistan we don't know for sure what the kind of connections were but they did the newspapers didn't connect the don't talk about the thought that the problem it was it is not discussed and why does the swedish

media ignore these kinds of things why are people talking about this not until i show the man and show the global reach of nato and how what they are doing up in the north like us was born being a training bomb training in order bought then lead said this is all you are telling the truth because it's not told tell us more about these operations how do you find out about these kinds of things that you say have taken place in the north . why do i know because i have close contact with my friend in kiruna up in the north she calls me and say now they are here again and in the northern new magazine oh no the newspapers local newspapers they cover it but not here we could leave in two countries different countries not a boughten is sort of on the other side of the world it is not covered i know that

there were nuclear capable flights up in the north last summer they did for sure. they didn't carry nuclear weapons but they have them stored in ramstein b. sixty one look it up you have a clue to computers i mean it's not to be a nuclear weapon to do doot doot it comes i mean you have to say nobody can say today we do know everybody knows everything if they want i don't think they had nuclear weapons when they were bomb training up in the north but. why was it then so silent because it was such. a step that the us air force were in come to northern sweden and train vom being so close to russia what if we russia goes to canada and train bombing shouldn't it be a little bit. unfeeling if we didn't it would have war. i mean i

would be very very scared if they started bomb being close to another country kamal from the other side of the ocean and started training bomb being a course the americans should have the right to be to be to be secure and so what's going on here what are they planning for whatever they're planning for like in the northern sweden so close to russia we have left it recently i mean it's not it's not many years since it was seems they were invaded from the west. that's why i always bring. figures when i talk about these about how many people were killed during the second world war i was eighty years old when the war was over i don't remember the war but i remember i was afraid but those who are a little elder it's just just today it's yesterday and usually always be

under understand that people who have endured such or horrifying war like russia you shouldn't treat them the way west is treating russia today by in circling strangling pointing at you from the submarine from. outside so more months you have tried in submarine surrounding the whole layer asia what is that but the international community says they understand russians caution about nato do you think they really do it's about surrounding the regime and in the end strangle maybe not bomb but strangle and threaten so you get your guest you get the same area scarce you can put up your your oil pumps and the like they tried during jensen i mean it was almost there they they really wanted to to to

come into the core of the russian foreign ministry and then drew but then put in kate and then what what was they telling what was the calling putting all hitler who who are you see what has he done he said stop enough is enough so if the whole grand chessboard the whole playing with the word and world and we are in it we are in it sweden is one of the. like if say us he's an imperium and sweden is one of the fourteen nation in the scene perry i'm i don't say if the one of the military it was cool to military who said that so we are not a small entity in these we are in the empire. and why what's in it for sweden why does the country's political elite want to help or to most likely be in the

alliance what are they doing to get them on the hook what are they do what are they promising them or i really i don't have the answer because for me it's insane this policy it's pure insanity ho many things can united states government show that they don't care about people's when they show they torture in name for instance all these terrible torture place in. the mall in every place they are violating international law they are violating all treaties all treaties and they come away with it do you think that sweden hides behind partnership for peace to cooperate with nato oh it's we all knew some of us knew for heaven's sake partnership for peace is just the end to chambre for nato but partnership for peace

was the most i haven't heard it but they told us told me when i was in new york a couple years ago the pentagon said had said partnership for peace is considered the most brilliant idea the pentagon ever had come forward with it was so successful because you could look at what the partnership for peace has turned into what may be almost olympus and almost all countries that former partnership or peace they already made to and why is partnership for peace so brilliant because you get aligned right into the foreign policy to start to discuss to get the possibility to just start to talk with their with the people who are who are responsible for four of four for important policy that is partnership for peace and they fooled a lot of peace organizations are you crazy are you really crazy you are going with nato on no admit that it's appears organisation so they were talented those who

brought this up they were but the worst thing and the. thing that made us just be one need to put wall joining european union and then after this it was just partnership for peace i mean it was it was the it was the case i mean it joining european union richard holbrooke who came here in ninety four and said hello to to us you know richard holbrooke when he is around. where now he is dead but there are certain are there others coming but richard holbrooke and he said why don't you can take on the baltic states so sweden did look at what we're doing now we're almost one of the best guys in the club in the it we do more than the other parts that are in nato and that was sweden is now it's a shame it's

a shame i've found i missed my countries joining in nato secretly forming people. that. thank you very much for sitting down with us.

a really good series win just before we left for that group replies and the group replies that that again now is the same group applies it has got us to the number one ranking in one day cricket in the world of the last couple of ease on confident the group applause it was going to be good enough in those conditions to really make an impact in this world cup i think in a world cup you go to do better than all the teams not just the names of the teams that you mention. i think playing at home it is great. the subcontinent has a lot of passion for the games and sure long. especially so. so the plane for of a home crowds on the home grounds for most of the games will be will be quite important to us. finally full contact martial arts has exploded in recent years all over the globe russia is no exception punk crutchfield in is one of the most popular forms here currently robert for done in explaining age is nowhere struction for slugging it out. the general rule of thumb about martial arts is that as soon

as you can stand and walk you can learn that the youngest of these children are seven years old and they already know what it feels like to fight it tournament kicking punching wrestling allowed so many ways to win she's the one you like the martial art of comes from big games and combines both wrestling and hand to hand fighting that makes it just what we did it with when it comes to youngsters safety is vital in this tournament in particular they use special outfits plus we have strict rules so opponents concord each other any serious harm however these are full contact bouts besides the coach's role in this respect just cannot be overrated the better he prepares a student i mean as an ultimate fighter with both wrestling and hand to hand fighting skills the more he succeeds in the sport. kids are first told basic skills

and techniques along with general fitness training all this is a must before starting a potentially professional career in later life it's like no mary hurts and it makes some parents never see the end lures known to win the war to lose with honor . instead of footballers in their bedroom walls the often have posters of this man for the remainder of the russian mixed martial arts legend or others he simply wanted to match their peers. once i saw some guys train in my school basement i decided to try to myself know i want to become a pro. i enjoy both stand up fighting and wrestling and to be good at all aspects of the sport to succeed in competitions. i always try to stay cool during a fight whatever happens i can't let my opponent beat me. because book alone there are over twenty cool. it's open to anybody who's seeking to gain some

ultimate fighting skills that's it from our federation does their best to promote. people who want to learn mixed martial arts shouldn't just try a little bit of sound first then say boxing and finally graeco-roman wrestling they just need to go to a local pub school it's a much more efficient and simple way to gain mixed martial arts skills. so we could be looking at the next floor and all before high school even becomes a thought robert party. on that wraps up all the sport where weather is next and bill is here with all the news at the top of the r.c.c. .

moshe's would be soo much brighter if you knew about sun move from funds to impressions. from stunts on t.v. don't come. in the. game.
