it's sometimes. hard. to predict the. market so why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy cause a report on. this is our seattle holocaust in our last explosions in iraq the libyan capital any new wave of violence as colonel gadhafi in the off position battle for control of the country gadhafi is currently addressing for the love his supporters in chippin these are live pictures that we're seeing at the moment from libyan state television. as the rest in the middle east and north africa are shaking the wall the america's
6:31 am
foreign policy is changing course along with it its future direction top the agenda for u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton a key meeting on capitol hill this week. and the soviet union's first down long as president celebrates in its year a new higher instead of the moniker russia all the paul towards democracy. all throughout his time in power played a pivotal role in bringing about the end of the cold war the unification of germany liberalism and a story came in the soviet union. because you know mr gorbachev it's so great to have you with us today good to see you again
6:32 am
but mr gorbachev you're turning eighty did you ever think the world would look like this on your eightieth birthday. it's not easy to surprise people like me those who lived to see her eightieth birthday have seen a lot in life ese in the last we should thank god for giving us so many years and because it eighty you already know a lot of experience many things i can view life in a primitive way that's even laughter safer today compared to the late eighty's wealthiest is more 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 this is unbelievable mubarak has ruled egypt for twenty nine years for gadhafi we are all confused about the actual date when his rule began so i think we were right when we said there should be a limit otherwise people got tired of the same leaders in addition after ten years or so you get nepotism leaders become too preoccupied to take care of the things
6:33 am
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. so you think ten years is the ideal clearing it for a 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 built on nepotism and a few concerns when i look at the world today. lenin whom i respect once said don't be afraid of chaos we see a lot of chaos around chaos produces new forms of life it is true 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 will. we're sorry often say that what you regret
6:34 am
most is that disintegration of the soviet union do you think that it could exist in two thousand. what it would have been my right not. reporter it could exist even longer it should have become a union of sovereign states where the communist regime are also 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 and the constitutions of the soviet republics said they were states entitled to self-determination that's why we should have made them sovereign states. but different regimes different political systems do you mean that some countries could be democratic while 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 stays others would follow. they would have been like communicating
6:35 am
vessels 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. we would do you blame yourself for the fall of the soviet union. no i fought for the best i could to defend the soviet union but i failed why do you think the c.i.s. fell apart it is practically nonexistent. that's because of the political situation we had in our country after nine hundred eighty nine 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 i always wanted to ask you during the coups when you were isolated what did you feel. i knew anything could happen it was not just a feeling i knew it not respect try to provoke us and get us to start shooting and
6:36 am
then they would document that and have the right to shoot back and kill us. and that's the way what are you afraid the most for your life your country. no 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 gets out when you started the perestroika could you imagine the scale of the changes to calm. people i think i did not completely but it is dangerous to start a storm in our country if you lose control you may get into a lot of trouble to shelves reforms basically failed and procedures reforms failed we realized from experience that it was dangerous to wait much longer that we have
6:37 am
to take a risk but we couldn't we needed changes would be an internationally because it's what 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. you have little toward good to me if i don't agree when people say that perestroika failed it didn't fail it was disrupted he railed stopped but still perestroika achieved a lot inside russia we had democracy free elections freedom of conscience for the property the freedom to travel abroad everything. glasnost 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 normalized our relationship with the u.s. we reunited germany we didn't send our tanks our troops there all our units in
6:38 am
eastern europe stayed where they were and i will put you through your articles as the percolates. so let's talk about foreign policy twenty five years ago you started the process of disarmament between the soviet union and the united states russia day president obama and thereby making further steps to get rid of nuclear arsenals do you think we will ever come to a world without nuclear weapons. 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 a mechanism for handling the hardest and most challenging issues when we need more than that it's a matter of learning to live in a global world. because you get. two years ago you and i discussed barack
6:39 am
obama and that was during the elections before he became president and he said the united states needed its own perestroika and that obama seems to be the right man to carry it out has obama leave it up to your expectations of the president. 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 drop you should be ready for that 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
6:40 am
what we're really that depends on politicians we take as examples if we take hitler then every politician of the twentieth of the twenty first century is very different from him if we talk about the nineteen eighties 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. i think it's what. some people consider you know 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 so there is always a group of people who realize the challenges of their time they understand what is going on in the world. do you think has the potential to become
6:41 am
a politician of the twenty first century. we'll have to wait and see but 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 else 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 and you leader would emerge sometimes they emerge too late after some damage was done we have to avoid that we have to act in time. too many people you create 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 you were awarded the nobel peace prize some say that you were the last real liberal of our time what do you think is your most important legacy.
6:42 am
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. people abroad love you and respect you a lot more russian seven different opinions about you what do you make of that fact that you are more appreciated abroad than in russia. i think it's normal after all i work here in russia and many things started here it wasn't always easy but many things did not work out the way we planned at the beginning 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 lord but in public politics i don't think we have ever lost a major battle. right about now what are your priorities in life.
6:43 am
my priority is to help people realize 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 i wasn't here 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 or grandchildren great grandchildren what do 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. i miss 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
6:44 am
were very close to me and to be frank with you another thing i wish i had these days is good health well i wish you good health and many more years happy birthday to you and thank you very much. to spain to the country and republic. center of russian defense. leg while she heads to central russia. and ukraine become an industry. the harsh winter makes schools even more enjoyable. and west's training to be a stump. for the younger small. pressure clips up on the hot seat. the first.

caps incest fabregas almost could return for the champions league tie against barcelona next week but despite the setbacks manager vanga says there's still plenty to play for. in the championship. and will. qualify for your free trial. we have won the first two conventional dissolute much are your thoughts now in the carling cup. we cannot. or were confident because because of. good question for targeting from before us now were you thinking about going to watch any of the games at next year's european championships in ukraine and poland if so this is your chance because for one month only and make a direct purchase on you wafers a fish a website getting all the fans an equal chance of getting their hands on a ticket first went on sale yesterday anyway for president michel platini with at
6:53 am
a ceremony and warsaw to mark the event and there's also a ceremony in ukraine just under one and a half million tickets will be made available for the tournament with around eighty five percent being sold through the u.a.e. the website with organizers believing many games will be oversubscribed. and basketball goes newly appointed head coach jonas because says building a solid defense combined with course the this is a master plan for the job lithuanian took up the hot seat on monday by the russian powerhouses to scarf failed to make the yearly top sixteen of the first time in fourteen years last december and because last this is bringing with him a wealth of experience having trained the likes of china and greece and the top two club teams in his native country. here's a little. if you remember when you train jugglers you know literally a national side we played basketball didn't mean we would put up with lots of mistakes so i think we will once again start building the team with strong defense
6:54 am
is our cornerstone but we should also try to increase your speed that's the kind of basketball i like and that's what i'll be trying to do here and say it's got. some action from the n.b.a. where kobe bryant helped the l.a. lakers to their fifth win in a row top scoring with twenty four points as they beat the minnesota timberwolves at the target center nineteen points to seventy nine the final score bryant only made eight of his eighteen shots but instead of his moments. like that and he's scoring at the lake is in charge nailing an effort late on to keep aside from by ten with a million left that's the fourteenth time in a row. they got the better of that since the wolves. in winter sports the newly crowned bobsled world champion alexander zuckoff has dismissed fears he's a back to retire again the russian saying he's now turning his attention to the twenty fourteen tsotsi lympics the thirty six year old has returned from germany where he eclipsed the local favorites and his teammate alexis boy avoid the one the
6:55 am
two man of venti playing in the world championship the first time russians have done that as you call of have retired from the sport last summer but then returned to enjoy the best season of his career and he's now hungry for more. part of the will of course will be preparing for the social impacts from now on 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 before then you had of the boston federation knows very well what's to be done for to achieve good results of take the season for example that will finish in the top six at almost every world cup stage that's a very big thing for you so you wouldn't miss something that is pretty rare hat trick in the cricket world cup frank lasith malinga got it during his side's nine wickets rationing of can you offer surprised even the fate of pakistan sri lanka needed to make a stand so i mean the rebels columns table would still be on still three centuries
6:56 am
but then it was meaning that i first put on my back. and then the telephone for i met with him for a match was great but there was more to coming in from that stand because it's sixty five yards and seven point four i was in the canyons perhaps one hundred to see two hundred before seeing the lead in the sri lankan batsmen have a little problem dealing with that type of lapping high spot was dismissal the fans were fifty one but the co-hosts wrapped up big three i mean to celebrate a second look at a world that thinks this one wasn't as good as the right against south africa it's in two thousand said. my head in what i write my performance against south africa in that world cup but that's the effort than this because in that stage of the game south africa it was virtually winning the game and i'm saving to get the hat trick and probably bring true lanka back to the game and also with an outside chance of winning it so i think to me that was a better effort to have it today to getting
6:57 am
a hat trick gave me a lot of satisfaction and also that i end up ultimately with six wickets so getting wickets in any gold cup game i suppose gives anyone a lot of satisfaction. i also spoke with a man with a lot. hungry for the full scoop we've got it for. the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers. bringing you the latest in science and technology from the realm for. the future of coverage.
