we. called them back well here's a recap of the top stories we're covering on our t.v. the you won the suspense libya from its human rights council following the government's aggression against protesters while the u.s. is moving its naval forces closer to libya triggering speculation of possible strikes on the u.k. is also not moving out the use of force. as the rest of the middle east and north africa is shaking the world america's foreign policy is changing course along with what's future of the russian talking agenda for u.s.

secretary of state hillary clinton at a key meeting on capitol hill this week. at a soviet union's first of last president celebrates his eightieth birthday. considered the man who could wash all the cars she wants to moxie and off throughout his time in power going to talk played a pivotal role in bringing about the end of the cold war the reunification of germany liberalism and perestroika in the soviet union we'll argue caught up with him and the interviews up next. because it well mr gorbachev it's so great to have you with us today good to see you again but this regard you're turning eighty did you ever think the world looks like there is on her eightieth birthday. it's not easy to surprise people

like me but those who live to see the eightieth birthday have seen a lot in life eighty in the last we should thank god for giving us so many years because an eighty you already know a lot of experience many things i can't view life in a primitive way because he's a laugh a safer today compared to the late eighty's. if we look at the middle east for example in most countries where people took to the streets demanding resignation of their leaders these leaders have been in power for twenty or thirty years believe it will. because ruled egypt for twenty nine years as for gadhafi we were all confused about the actual date when his rule began. and we said there should be a limit otherwise people go tarred as a leader in addition after ten years or so you get nepotism leaders become too preoccupied to take care of the things that are really important that's why we decided that the maximum term for the general secretary the chairman of the council of ministers and others would be ten years after ten years they had to step down

this eclipse. some visiting ten years. for the head of state. yes of course many of those people are very capable they can be very useful in other areas but it is important to have rotation young people should not feel like they are locked in a box lest they upset the system builds on the opportunities from what you are concerned when i look at the world today. lenin whom i respect once said don't be afraid of chaos or we see a lot of chaos around chaos produces new forms of life it is true but so these troubles too will pass it won't be easy of course changes are never easy but this will be a step to a better future that will be truthful. sorry i often say that you regret most is that disintegration of the city union do you think that it could exist in. what it would have been like today. reporter it could exist even

longer should have become a union of sovereign states we're not calling it stream. being a union of sovereign states means that each sovereign state has the right to make its own choice the conditions we were in required that we practice what the constitution said of the constitution of the soviet republics said they were states entitled to self-determination with all that's why we should have made them sovereign states and would have really good. thread relation with separate political systems do you mean that some countries could be democratic but others remain communist yet. no i think they all would have followed the same scenario because they would be making their choice at a stage when they were still close to each other in many respects so if something would change in one state others would follow. they would have been like communicating vessels just today sixty or seventy percent of people say they were gresh that the soviet union fell apart because when you ask them if they want the

soviet union to be restored only nine percent say yes it will certainly but it will fly through the blame yourself with all this in it you're in still. no i for the best i could to defend the soviet union more but i fail to live which means the cia asked aren't it is practically nonexistent. that's because of the political situation we had in our country after nine hundred eighty nine years the elite played a role there after nine hundred eighty nine we had the coup first they tried to overthrow gorbachev using political means but they failed because people supported gorbachev had always wanted to ask if you're in the clear is what you were isolated what did you feel. i knew anything could happen it was not just a feeling i knew it laughter as they try to provoke us and get us to start shooting and then they would document that and have the right to shoot back and kill us. what are you afraid the most for your life your country. you.

know for my family and of course i thought that it was not going to be just my family other people may suffer too i knew there would be bloodshed especially if you consider how big our country is it takes our country a while to start but when it does it is very hard to stop so my goal was to renew the country without bloodshed. because it is out when you started the perestroika that could you imagine the scale of the changes to calm . people i think i did good not completely it is dangerous to start a storm in our country if you lose control you may get into a lot of trouble to show his reforms basically failed and procedures reforms failed we realized from experience that it was dangerous to wait much longer that we had to take a risk because we couldn't we needed changes. because you

are saying that you didn't quite understand the scale of it all when did you finally get a clear realization that there was no return to the past with a. visual there with i don't agree when people say the perestroika failed it didn't fail it was disrupted railed stocks but still perestroika achieved a lot inside russia we had democracy free elections freedom of conscience part of property freedom to travel abroad everything so. there was so much openness the entire country was affected people realized they had finally got some freedom an opportunity to act in foreign affairs we put an end to the cold war we normalize our relationship with the u.s. we reunited germany we didn't send our tanks or troops there all our units in eastern europe stayed where they were and i will put you through the consequences. let's talk about foreign policy twenty five years ago he started the process of

disarmament of the soviet union and the lighted streets russia day president obama and medvedev are making further steps to get rid of their arsenals do you think we will ever come to a world without nuclear weapons. but. we must do it and i believe that sooner or later we will get there but to get there we have to put the world back in order first nuclear arsenals were significantly reduced thanks to our efforts during perestroika today when the world is so divided we need to find things that bring us together for instance the g. twenty is a step which brings us closer it's an instrument in the election isn't for handling the hardest and most challenging issues we need more than that it's a matter of learning to live in a global world. two years ago you were not discussed barack obama and that was during the election before he became president and you said the

united states and its own perestroika that obama seems to be the right man to carry it out has obama we had up to your expectations of the president. and you know we were. i think he's been doing a good job so far by the way i met with him when he was in moscow i told him your approval rating is still high that's great but remember as soon as you get to some real big issues it'll drug you should be ready for that moment he said i understand that i think the fact that he got his health care bill approved is terrific but rich republicans don't like it i admire him because when things got hot for example when they had to get the new start treaty ratified he got involved personally he talks to people and about twelve senators changed sides and sided with the democrats and eventually the treaty was ratified i wish him good luck what would you say is the difference between twentieth century and twenty first century politicians that's what you could not depends on politicians we take as examples if

we take hitler then every politician of the twentieth or the twenty first century is very different from him if we talk about the one nine hundred eighty s. it was a time when we saw a large group of politicians from asia america and europe join forces to stop the nuclear arms race and begin disarmament with the ultimate goal of uniting the world i think we should give them credit for that it was a very interesting time. because guess what. some people consider you a number one politician of the twentieth century. always remember when you were number one there's a great responsibility that comes with that actually though you can't give a single politician credit for everything there is always a group of people who realize the challenges of their time and we understand what is going on in the world. do you think has the potential to become a politician twenty first century. we'll have to wait and see if no one

you can name at this point. no i would not give that title to anyone for now they have to earn it no one praised also until we walked the talk today's politicians are not even at the talking point yet but what matters is what they will do the steps they will take their policies we know from history that every time there was a new challenge a new leader would emerge sometimes they emerge too late after some damage was done we have to avoid that we have to act in time. to many people you played a major role in many important events the unification of germany the end of the cold war perestroika some people say that you are the one who brought down the soviet union and were awarded the nobel peace prize some say that you were at a loss as a leader of our time what do you think is your most important legacy. i think it is the fact that the world is no longer divided that it is mostly free

from ideological antigun ism this is perhaps the most important thing this creates conditions for further progress with people abroad love you and respect you a lot more russians have a different opinion so how do you make of that fact that you are more appreciated and brought than in russia. i think it's normal that after all i worked in russia and many things started here you know wasn't always easy but many things did not work out the way we planned at the beginning and when we made our first mistakes we didn't really explain to people what was going on and didn't get them involved in all those processes we were self-confident but in public politics i don't think we have ever lost a major battle. brought about what are your priorities and. my priority is to help people realize. is that there are other people around them and conduct themselves accordingly and in fact that's what religion teaches that

you should help your neighbor and many people have this understanding they're willing to help others support them so the most important thing is to remember about other people and their problems are used for wasn't eighty the whole world is celebrating your birthday at the end of march in london few people can say i made this world a better place but you can say that about yourself if your children grandchildren great grandchildren what you lack. for the horse and you know the lord there are a few things i didn't have time to do and i regret it. you know i missed my wife who was my best friend and i lost her in this fierce battle it's hard you can't forget about things like that sometimes i look at people with a lot of money and they may have many wives many women but we were different we were very close to me and to be frank with you another thing i wish i had these days is good health always good health i mean warriors happy birthday to thank you

wales were shelves to consider the battle put russia on the path towards democracy . and palestine for all the latest wars highlights with andrew. you're watching the sport and the headlines staying alive and on the last go get a bottle when against an armory get to remain in the. clouds like losing baby brazil world cup win reverted to the design g. they used to send to the russian cup. and chelsea give united the blues these in the lead his team won at stamford bridge. and although moscow have kept their garden cup hopes alive after a three one thinks against an armory in game five of their western conference quarter final playoff series things were looking bad for the muscovites going into

the third quarter but as richard reports two goals in as many minutes means they did have to fight another day. it was when a busted out of morse code states a common name safe from riga for a one time in a best of seven series only victory would suffice for me it's not rocket science if they want to continue their fun for a good car in the title the story couldn't have been more different from aside from not the two straight wins on home ice and put them in command of the series however misters would have to waver in early storm as a muscovites attack me called helpless net right from the all you know come on over in your gold medals all of both trying to break a dead wrong however there was nothing particularly boring the swedish netminder i was opposite number michael garnett was a virtual spectator such as the home side's dominance however they were unable to find the net despite a couple of chances on the powerplay open on having a shot in the first period and amerigo began to come out of their shells in the

second the warning signs were there for the home side as my garnett was forced into making a good save midway for a period of this this would take the lead told me his enormous power play from blue line to sunday's also in shots was only hasi by garnett and brooke frost i was on hand to find a park passes for the canadian side from a lap in capital on course for victory in the series cove across it would come up worst aware of being on the receiving end of a punch before storing. going into the final period a goal down the nominee moscow could see the car in cup hopes fading away over just three minutes see in boxing bilko gave them a lifeline as history shall be tell prescribe side from home side levels much to the going to be fans who finally had something to shout about in just two minutes later the most boys would take the lead roman deluges wrister troubling for a traffic shell taking an affliction of captain weeks he was told was helping the past help with what i believe now all signs are to one leave the home team have the

chance to extend their advantage or maybe gain same as the side from a latin capital push in search of an equaliser. and they would do just five seconds remaining with this engine that's not the same three one three people series i think you control the game i think replay most most of the gaming there is own. go to first go on about whether you know all or they have a good barboy they used it for all the serious bugs. well we were able to score the goals in a slow them and their control to get out of change on the first to back up you know it could have been football player problems all over the genome almost or still had some words do they still from the side of reagan brain true but that's the second series i'm not going see a book bad place in the semifinals will be true again six three bridges are hopefully going to see more sky so come from

a she never left me inside still leaving day especially seven series three stations and dark nights a few days so the styles and the nominees respectively changed enough of the savings that they atlanta could make it through to last i think. drinking again the series do said elsewhere because i need to make a mess as i do the course continue grab the dice twice and shoot at a football i woke up whenever a better call us couldn't help his new side angie on his debut as the service icon of the last sixteen of the russian couple the hands of how old is the fish breaching the legs and even grossly i suppose fifty penalty for this is drunk thirty minutes and before camille i got off levels matches and minutes later danny was still believes his innate need way through the second and bank tellers of each major. seven minutes before time to make even of the last times life until angie but it was anything it will go through a movie i did see is

and sit around with us but let's go to winter sports now the newly crowned bobsled world champion alexander zuckoff says he'll now be turning his attention to the twenty fourteen sochi olympics the russian better and then dismissing fees he could once again retire the thirty six year old has returned from germany where he picked a local favorite to come russia's first ever world champion zuckoff anniston made alexa good order also won the two man a bent to add to their world cup glory plus they clinched the overall title at the same track as you caught had retired from the sport last summer but then returned to enjoy the best season of his career and is an eye on going for more. on the court a lot of the knowledge of the world of course will be preparing for the sochi olympics from now on everything so i didn't come back into the sport for just one season we had some serious discussions with the sports hierarchy and came to a decision then you had of the books the federation knows very well what it's done if you want to achieve good results take the season for example finish my top six

at almost every world cup stage that's a very big thing you see it but we're not cricket now and lasith malinga. well the trick is to house trying to return to winning ways in the world cup with the nine wickets thrashing of tenure in cologne buy off the surprise even to think of pakistan i think need to make a strong statement i know you're going to promise collins and david will be on stroke centuries but then it was meaning the time first record and my new friend i'll be back the ben who vowed he'd gone but the best. for the bat was used and i was moved to becoming a famous and with that stunning focus and since before it's been seven point four i get it and was clapping my hundred sixty for him for saying relax the before life and vasant had a little problem with that price but yeah dismissal rusalka fifty one because i stepped up big for a two point four i was moving to celebrate the second half in

a world cup but i think it's the one against south africa it's in fashion said that . my what a great my performance against south africa in that world cup but back to the base because in that stage of the game south africa be virtually winning the game and i say to get had treatment probably pretty sure like get back to the game and also with an outside chance of winning it so i think to me that was a picture record about the way but today to get a hat trick gave me a lot of satisfaction and also did i end up ultimately with six wickets so getting wickets in any gold cup game are supposed gives anybody lesser satisfaction and suffering is the end of the sport for my win so we've got more sas time. we'll. bring you the latest in science and technology from the realm plus.
