of again our role from two spotlights the interview show on art see al green art and today marty guest in the studio is eunice bit yes poor. russia has lately experienced serious of terrorist attacks on some of its reach a number of these attacks were carried out by suicide bombers many of them came from northern caucasus where social problems still the extras is there a clue for the problem here is the head of russia's southern republic of people who showed up here of the russian federation. of. the government to bring machete has been trying really hard to improve the social and economic situation in the republic. is working closely with moscow on catching

unemployment which is one of the highest and russia it's one of the reasons blamed for extremist recruitment the kennedy school of doesn't think using force against extremists will help instead is exercising an old peaceful and personal approach. hello mr firth thank you very much for coming to our program hello mr the fear of. the war against terrorist networks and your public i asked you this same question fifteen months ago how much progress have you and she stands and. when to with you must have noticed that journalists are usually quick to notice everything both good and that of course we have made good progress in i would like to emphasize that which you did not only through the use of force the most important it was done

through crime prevention measures we talked to people especially those who have relatives in terrorist groups. you see our approach is that we look at them not as bandits and if we look at them as young guys and got involved in this bloody war against their own people due to some unfortunate circumstances. so we do our best to talk them out of it. and today we see that this kind of criminal activity has dropped you know our republic drastically this year our statistics for the first two and a half months for a terrorist activities grave crimes and attacks on law enforcement officers are all zero levels with. the head of state is f has be. said that in the past year about fifty former terrorists were coerced

waited to go back to normal life. how do you know that they're not just playing games can you guarantee that these people terrorists criminals whatever you call them won't take up their arms again. first of all these are not terrorists and they've been terrorists they would have been properly prosecuted what are they . people who were on the wanted list. for most of them their crimes have never been proved. they were afraid to come out of their hiding places i mean then it's usually recruit new members from this category of people they've been. no it's not a matter of being born and actually i'm very grateful to letting her go by f.s.b. chief in english area because this work has been very effective largely due to the fact that there is close cooperation between the government office souls on one

hand and law enforcement agencies on the other. that they were never proven guilty so they return to normal life and this is mean that they will be tried later and at some point they may be found guilty. here is what we say to their relatives and everyone else actually on the phone to your request we can check our records and we will tell you what the charges against your ability of our what the you know what kind of punishment he would face according to law. but if he turns himself in the end testifies that they term would be reduced not sure of that and this too was according to law all we do is strickly warning to law as a result your old have stays alive he will be interrogated he testifies you get a chance to see him and after he's convicted we will try to get him to serve

his term in the north caucasus. in southern russia we cannot guarantee that but we will do our best to ensure that it is the police so these fifty people came out of the woods they turned themselves in and many of them went to prison voluntarily is that correct. well these fifty people actually it's fifty four hundred eight were convicted and the rest acquitted. i think with the rest of them and their guilt wasn't proved. we helped many of them to get into schools or good. jobs you know one time i was meeting with college students and one of those students even told me you have to need bennett to get a job in. this because they all have heard about the support we offer to those people so i explained the situation to them and they all agreed that these people do need support so that they can return to normal life here though i think you will

agree that money is not the only factor affecting extremists recruitment you know mass for example some of those who organize the recent terrorist attack on the my the other airport were. you yourself said and i quote in order to eradicate the extremists influence and young people we need to look for ideologists what do you know who these ideologists are and what it is that makes their ideology so appealing to young people and. we know over eighty such ideologists in our republic and i want to emphasize that eight. special services are working with these ideologies we're talking to them spiritual leaders were both already is including me and the council of tapes we are all working with them so they're not hiding anywhere and you know them you know they're not hiding but what

do you mean when you say special services or working with them to they use intimidation or i mean crime prevention analyzing the or teachings reading between the lines which are you see it's not like a person opens a school for terrorists and people come to him you know they just teach scripture and people come to them for counseling or psychological help. but if you listen to what they say and it we know that from our undercover agents there is nothing stream missed on the surface but we see that most of those who join terrorist groups and became susa bombers were first instructed. why these ideologists. which of course it could be that not all of these eight ideologists influence people this warning them five or six of them could be ok but two or three of them definitely have this kind of influence. the idea of these people personally how you yourself ever met any of these eight little i think you'll go. only do i

know them i talk to each one of these eight. so you have a dialogue with people who basically recruit bandaids when you know what it's like well we can say they recruited and it's you have to realize that extremism is hidden deep in their teaching and they're all religious leaders right and yes for the most part of course but we can only suspect that they police some poured in instilling extremist ideas through a person goes through several stages you see what as a young boy become an extremist intimidation money and religious convictions of these three things. so their religious ideology is to teachers things in his words strengthening the other two factors or intimidation and money. and that's why when we talk to those ideologists we ask them to change their math and so for

teaching. and also to pay closer attention to their students their everything will be received. how do you view these ideologists for you as the head of the republic for are they enemies or just political opponents. they're not my enemies and they're not my political opponents they're just people who think they do their work when you do your step them. well at least i can say i don't hate them but i have to admit i don't have much respect for them either. it's just that we could have used. and the methods and you'll harshly with them right with you prefer to be solved but i understand the harsh methods one get us anywhere if we remove these people others will take their place with the best ways to change them encourage them to teach differently or change their mindset. let them know that

we're aware of what they're doing because when we just tell them that they teaching extremism they deny everything when they're with so instead we give them the numbers see eight i don't know you are ten students became bandits. was twenty one of the mystery of course until recently and even yesterday i thanked we were getting reports that the head of the terrorist underground motto for the boat who is only most wanted list who was hiding somewhere in europe public told me that this wasn't confirmed does this mean he has left in good shape here and the police couldn't catch him no it's not of what we know is that he or rarely goes down into the valley he has camps somewhere up in the mountains on the border. we know about some of these camps but he was able to escape before we got to have the information and so forth we don't have positive information that he's in our republic it hasn't

been confirmed just yesterday we discussed this and it hasn't been confirmed yet it doesn't matter actually where exactly he. used only or any way we often say so of course it would be better if he realized the gravity of his actions and at least persuaded he's associates to turn themselves in and go back to normal life even if he himself cannot do that. it isn't possible. while if it's some point he said it's to become a criminal which maybe he can also change his mind now. after all people do think about the afterlife. only about this life here and now. that the first says he. had russia's southern republic. spotlight will be back shortly if we take a break so stay with us we'll continue to in less than a minute. well

it looks like.

just. in canada and the u.s. that it is legal for you to use a bubble bath here baby it contains a known carcinogen something that causes cancer most of the mouth but in different . industries and most of the. plates it's a classical feel just today an average cancer drug prescription costs nearly one thousand six hundred dollars a month. but nobody with cancer and therefore protect salt because next year ninety five percent of cancers perth's be. with health family history of jazz the pharmaceutical industry spends about fourteen percent of their budget on research and development and about thirty one percent for marketing in a ministration. in fact there are more pharmaceutical industry lobbyists in washington d.c. and members of congress.

welcome back to the spotlight i'll do you know and just to remind you that my guest in the studio today is eunice vicki of course of head of the russia's southern republic of english. mr worth it's your second time on our show just before our previous meeting was took place about fifteen months ago you fired your publics prime minister and i should guess on of them and the reason was corruption and poor economic results this time again just before this meeting you fired prime minister alex iraq and in the case of one of the of there was no prior indication that was coming to a point that i didn't see any reports saying that he didn't perform or he didn't cope with his job or that he had a conflict where you what was the reason for this decision that it should because

first of all it had nothing to do with my coming to your show i do t.v. had nothing to do with it otherwise i won't come here again well that's a joke of course there is a big difference between these two resignations because the latest resignation it happened for a much more pleasant reason i exceeded our bureau for years my very good friend and colleague and he worked really hard he was a great help and the only reason for his resignation is that he's taking up another position so that was rather his which. he received an offer and we discussed it with him. i think it is good to show understanding when you have to let someone go . is currently acting prime minister is your former finance minister right will he be offered to take up the pm post not necessarily that's because we are considering a few candidates now. can you please comment on another personnel decision

i quote the endless judicial qualification committee has this bar deputy chairman of the supreme court will get the order. that would be mr though there go for it explains his resignation by claiming that you personally pressure out of it in other words he accuses you of meddling and judicial affairs that could you please comment on these accusations. well first of all he's not the deputy chairman or is just a regular member of the republic supreme court second i don't have time to comment on such statements i have far more important things to do third i didn't hear him say i only saw that reported on the internet fourth and this is the most important thing a judge who publicly criticize the head of the republic can no longer function as a judge he has no legal right to do this if you were to do this i think that the

supreme court of the russian federation would have to address this because they have no right to criticise in the head of the republic i didn't hear this either i just read it. right it's just something that some person wrote so i can a comment on this. missive what's your general opinion on your republic's judicial system. are you happy with it i know that only a small number of cases result in a guilty verdict. go on and frankly i was not happy with it until recently now we have a new chairman of the supreme court and i'm sure that the situation will improve. one thing i was unhappy with was not corruption bribes or anything like that because it was too soft but the e.u. says so before no that's not what i was unhappy with i was unhappy with the fact that judges could disqualify themselves from a case if they thought it was too dangerous. and so it happened that all the judges

in the republic would simply disqualify themselves if you so say twelve defendants who were found guilty and sentenced to long terms by the petty course court because they're all english they committed crimes and their guilt was proven but i'm sure that had they been tried in the shiria they would have received much shorter terms yes i'm not saying that the judges in this terrible region were biased all i'm saying is that judges had no moral right to disqualify themselves. did they rescue themselves because they feared revenge for what they claimed that they feared for their lives when i told them look police officers too can get killed does this mean they shouldn't be doing their job or that i can get killed does this mean i should do nothing but. well if judges have concerns about their safety maybe it's not the fault of the judiciary perhaps is the fault of the law

enforcement system. because billy's can't ensure their safety. no it's not like that anymore if you think your job is not see or that your safety is not properly insured you should resign and get another job. fair enough. if government officials all come up with excuses and see they could get murdered so i can provide for the border guards for everyone who watches when you're in public even the president can get killed as your own experience indicates of course but this didn't send us running and hiding right of course border guards in an armored car. and yet you barely survived. but i have hundred sent thousands of policemen who do their duty there standing all alone in the street and anyone can shoot down i have clerics you ma'am i have local officials the all do their work we can't offer protection to judges alone but the good most of the judges will

recuse themselves but i'm sure that the new chairman of the supreme court who shares my views on the issue will improve the situation or. not long ago you said quote as it. is in desperate need for new qualified workers with fresh i.d.'s with up to date knowledge and training and capable to use cutting edge technology unquote this produced quite a stir and. some people fear that you're preparing for a major reshuffle of your stuff. through and you know it's not exactly like that. let me put it this way. we do need young blood but not in the top echelon. it seems to us after some analysis that we've done and that the media lashon on which is actually the most important want it consists

of people aged fifty or sixty or even seventy years. and quite often these older people are not quite open to new and daring ideas. so we thought it all over and we discussed it. and eventually we decided to refresh the middle ashqelon. there's a lot more young people to prepare the next generation for the right to have more young people. also back in two thousand and ten i wrote told governors say ask them to put two off. local english residents on their staff. so now we have more than fifty young specialists working in regional administrations all over the russian federation. so in two or three years we expect them

to maybe come to our republic and they will come as experienced workers for the good work we did there is good news but according to all the reports industrial production your republic has risen by ten or even twenty percent which industries are developing. through those photos frankly we have no big industrial enterprises promotion of it and we decided not to purchase technology from outside instead of we use our local designers for we are now good developing brick production also quarrying and food production which we might get a little we don't have big factories only small companies that will go with it and we still are in municipal administrations to purchase food products directly from those companies or this helps us avoid it middleman and high prices through the

quick overview and eventually things got moving people began to work better and. from you know when i met with dinner put in a year ago the first thing he said was that our industrial production was in decline. with that but i can tell you that this year alone thanks to the federal program we are going to launch ip polymer production in a revival of two factories. brickyard and another one. speaking of your meeting with you said that it's the problem of unemployment remains very serious you said the task would. b. to decrease the unemployment rate by fifteen or twenty percent however so far as mean nearly four percent why is there something that puts investors off. and it's rather a question of our failure it seems to me the plans that we had made of them can be

taken amik of economy not all economic but also social. in terms of employment and considerable money was ok to to levy attention on the labor market but learning from our mistakes and taking advantage of the new facilities that we are going to launch with we do hope to improve the situation there from within and secondly we are creating new jobs in health care and education alone and we are creating more than six hundred jobs by launching new facilities and we are planning to increase the number up to two thousand. by the end it considering the programs for tension on the labor market in supporting individual and small business enterprise and taking into account the labor force that we had not considered earlier i mean some of the added taxation we are planning to bring this figure up to fifteen percent he says she was a situation where being

a bandit will not be the best way to make money in a shed. in oh this theory that people become bandits because of unemployment is not true not anymore it was false all along. when we analyze our statistics we see that all of those who are arrested or killed or are in hiding ninety percent had good jobs they have received good education and they came from families that were far from poor so you can say that only poor or unemployed people become terrorists most of the bandits are put reach you disposition space about thank you thank you very much for being with us and just a reminder that my guest in the studio today was you know. becky of course hero of the russian federation head of russia's southern republic. and that's it for now from all of us here will be back with more first on comments on once the going on in and outside russia until then stay on our team and take care of president

bush through the speech and trust. it.

all.
