mission street. welcome back now here's a recap of our top stories on our t.v. protesters in libya are calling for a final push to oust the fourteen year old regime but there are concerns that a trial of colonel gadhafi could expose sensitive backroom dealings in various western nations allowed the same type thousands of foreigners are finding themselves trapped in the chaos and some are unable to get out. the escalating on the rest of the arab world and especially libya has sent to energy prices skyrocketing affecting the living cost of the economy all around the globe but the

problem has set the stage for a renewed oil of our global powers. public outcry in the u.k. over the involvement of controversial if you will security contractor a walk in the margin and britain's national census rights groups allege that the government is risking of the confidentiality of personal data and it is reigniting a debate on privacy and ethics. that nato members are constantly claiming to create new strategies and new partnerships in the face of fresh threats to global security the alliance is trying hard to reach out to partners like russia to help it achieve its goals spoke to the danish defense minister about euro atlantic security and copenhagen all the ways it can be assured that interview is up next.

you didn't change defense minister it's great to have you with us today and things from a security perspective it's what closed a north korean gas pipeline represents for denmark and for europe. actually i think the north stream gas pipeline is another way of getting gas from russia to europe and russia and europe is so much into linked if we talk about the gas market because the. greatest fire for us therefore the north stream pipeline we'll make sure that we can actually have gas there libert without any troubles which we've seen before and from a danish perspective we've said that according to international rules then if it's ok for the environment of course they can be built so we have had a very pragmatic and very you can say it. minded focus on the pipeline and i look

forward to your country was there for us to allow that he is celtic politics is right for alain de scats why i think it was because we said that we we need the russian gas from the european markets. and we would like to make sure that we can have the supply and have the supply also in twenty years time and therefore the gas pipe is needed. and again according to international law or it's only if it damage the environment but you can say no so we have no political discussions or political focus on this because it was sort of the pure business approach lately for the last two or three years presently as it has been talking a lot about reshaping the common security zone of europe and his proposed as common european security what's your take on that point what's your response to this proposal i think that we can work very closely together russia and europe without having a new structure i'm not so much in favor of putting up

a new structures immigrant isolation if the old ones aren't working so i prefer to make the old ones for it one thing i'm very positive about is. the the russian nato council and i attended the russian nato council meeting in any member and there was a very. big focus from russia but also from nato on we have to work together because we have some common challenges we have some common threats and we have to find solutions together. and i see that as the way forward instead of talking about new structures you know some like spirits who would argue that nato is a little bit outdated and it needs restructuring and this common european security treaty is exactly what it needs to actually reshape itself in among all the world's but i'm saying what we didn't respond was also that we actually reshaped nato and we made a new strategic concept for nato that's focusing on one of the challenges of the

world today it's a cyber attacks it's terrorism it's so kyra see i mean i would say that it's a great sense it's not a conventional threat and we stated very clearly that for nato we do not see any country to be a good beginner me of a fear of nature so therefore it's we actually reshape nature and i think that it will help if we started from this point with russia or restarted repression i think that is the way. we're talking about missile defense because we also have a common threat coming from the south. and i think that's a very positive move in in the way that we are working in russia together and oh it's also my experience that russian first of the nation was in the big threat going on there more not any more and. what exactly is nader's new strategic concept for costing security. i think it's. i think the new strategic concept is this

is so much focusing on the new threats not old threats and i think that it shows that we have to work very closely together in in reshaping what we are doing and your strategic concept to say that well in denmark we also have to look into what are we doing with the danish defense how can we reshape the names defense so we can act to western new threats towards terrorism towards cyber attacks and and so i actually use things we decided need to also choose to make some changes inside the image defense. and mark is a relatively small can three of. you have curves position going up to twenty countries plus your former prime minister is now the head of nato so it's sometimes it's. disappointing about its weight what do you think well i. actually it's what i've seen and what i experience is because we are so much focusing on doing

having soldiers deployed to places where we can make a difference for example in afghanistan in the helmand province area for example when we've been in kosovo in lebannon is because we do encounter piracy at the coast of somalia and we are we whenever we decide to deploy soldiers we say can we make a difference and if we can make a difference we say yes and that's also why i think we are all great because we we sometimes we say no we say well if we can't make a difference then let somebody else do it but what we think it's important to be an international player and then i say it's you don't need to be all that work is a small state but instead of just being a small state we have to be a smart state so i have introduced that what we are actually doing in defense policy issues and security policy issues we choose to be smart state. we choose to

be involved special places around the world where we can make a difference called king ranch and then goes on that really is the hot spot right now and many people believe that it's completely unrealistic for nato troops to leave it's a scandal started by two thousand and fourteen what do you think. i think i think it's i think we can leave with our battle groups but i think also glad we have to stay in afghanistan after two thousand and fourteen to do training of the of the police to do training of the african defense and the afghan army and that's also why and what i see that when i see the russian play you know and i have some very good discussions yesterday with the ice foreign minister. and when we talk about what comes after two thousand and fourteen one of the things we agree upon is that we need to support the african reconsolidation and reintegration process to make sure that after two thousand and fourteen that the afghans can actually take

a war themselves or be responsible for security but we also have to make sure that you don't end up having. an internal war in afghanistan and i think the russian experience from afghanistan we have to broaden that and we have to we have also learned to try to look into the lessons learned from russia in afghanistan earlier what america's also is the only country to opt out of this common security and defense policy. all it comes back to the maastricht treaty and it was like well a lot of the danes they we had a referendum a lot of danes they voted new. suited mark to sign maastricht treaty so to make sure that they might could stay as member of the u. we had some of us and for instance one of the and the euro's another legal affairs is another and well i will say right now it creates some problems for me being defense minister because in every. the e.u.

countries would like to discuss security policy issues defense also issues i'm not allowed to raise my voice. which means that it would have no influence in the u. and i'm d.c. on these issues and. i would like to get get get rid of the of the opt out of the political climate in denmark it's not ready for that yet so it's so therefore i have to live with it if you look at any other angle in your opinion what kind of woman bring to the table the scars global security goes that amanda can't. i wouldn't maybe a broader focus on how do we deal with security risks and what do we actually do. i think it's very important whenever we are deploying soldiers that we do not look at just military with military ice i think it's important that we see it as a whole and i'm very much became a broad comprehensive approach so when we deploy troops we also have to look at

a civil reconstruction and development in the countries where we are deploying soldiers because sometimes where we know that some wars they actually start out of poverty it starts out because people will they fight for clean water. we have to we have to take that into consideration so i think i can be more i can have a more equal or comprehensive view on on how should we deal with. different issues i don't know whether it's because i'm woman but i feel that sometimes i have a broader view on things well you also have reading your interest in mentioning the holistic approach is this what you mean yes exactly exactly it's the position yourself as a civilian minister as a military place but then when it comes down to security in transparency a defense minister will eventually have to choose one over the other when it comes

down to it which one do you protect first. that's physical i wanted it to know. i know that i was appointed minister because i have a civilian background and because i don't have a military background and my prime minister was very clear saying that well you had the chief of defense he is responsible for the military things and my prime minister was very clear you don't want a general choo-choo be the minister because then there would be some conflict between the the chief minister so i'm actually asked might my duty is to have this broader view on things and not be the one only talking about military tactics or who's supposed to be where and when it's all right thank you very much for this and three six. issues that so much. maybe it's

a real mystery is the price of our civil war with the ongoing unrest in the petroleum markets or more than we used to. close up to spain to the old country and republish. center of russian defense production. now while she heads to central russia. to crafts and become an industry. of the harsh winter makes pollution even more enjoyable. and west everyone can train to be a stomach. for the alice la bridge. russia close up on the hot seat.

for. me soon which bryson if you knew about someone from files to patients. who for instance not seen don't come.

oh. protesters in libya are calling for a final push to oust the forty one year old regime but there are concerns that a trial of colonel gadhafi could expose sensitive backroom dealings with various western nations a lot of the same type thousands of foreigners are finding themselves trapped in the chaos and some are unable to get out of. the escalating autographs of the arab world and this specially libya has sent energy prices skyrocketing affecting living costs seven economy all around the globe but the problem has set the stage for a new world washed by global powers. the public outcry in the u.k.

watch. an impressive three hundred fifty meter long nice trick was a wreck to keep working must go to host the crucial third stage of the crash tice world championship and the downhill internationalized getting only from twenty four countries where we get to put their skills to the test at the toughest been in the history of these two sports. it's the most difficult track it's not very fast but it's very challenging as there are many obstacles coming one after another that's why there are so many folds and it's very hard to prepare for all those tricky obstructions despite the freezing cold with temperatures dropping as low as minus twenty two degrees thousands of spectators to dare to attend the event and no one was disappointed they had actually melted the ice and oh eyes were on the track russians are new to this kind of ice sport but a keen to learn quickly and available for scoping to be in some points and homegrown and he stepped in major playing for a place in the final but failed to progress at the last hurdle let him do you want

your cross post feel unfortunately i was just too tired i was eager she could use her best results but my legs just wouldn't go hard to get prepared for such events it's difficult to stay in top form. and so the final turn out to be a few years dual between current leaders are to be why anyone feel and can win this title cooks all the flying finn picked up where he'll left off from the previous have and dominating older ones and be lining easily store into his second successive be to it extending his lead at the top of the rankings thanks. truck for me and i managed to do almost five clean runs i had to build programs in the final after the steep part but i actually i got my bus back i got a slow start again against an awful start all night i like a little bit beat up. like a brit i get on the ice and just like

a little bit. but that's better start there is still everything to settle for the fourth and decisive stage in quebec so it tells fight to the finish between still whining corks isn't dissipated on the nineteenth of march because they are cheap. great to watch and so it was a match of the cricket world cup england captain andrew strauss saying his side for matic draw with india a final ball was a terrific and a big game well india had posted three hundred thirty eight all out from their fifty i was with sachin getting his fourth and seventh one day international century and in reply she cries struck one hundred fifty eight from one hundred forty five balls and england were closing in on a remarkable win and a flurry of wickets fell and when the final ball was bowled even need to see runs to win with graeme swann could only manage one match in the ball to me break it leaving the schools level one for each then the front one is a great thing. i think we go to celebrate the fact it was an unbelievable gavan

cricket. you know probably the best. fifty overfull might you could possibly get you know some great performances on both sides both sides of the. party how do you call it. that it's all a sport for the moment life and i know whether it's coming next.
