hello there you're watching r t the headline story and more civilian deaths reported in libya as nato continues airstrikes against government targets in tripoli rebels for instance forced to treat hong kong and any interference of. security services in europe when that would be an expert that's a benefit to terrorism and includes some comment that. considers building action double standards on the street

a sure needed help and. right now. running down his daily business a group like this isn't says he's been sent out on to the government wants to go in there and concerns. next what's he's selfish or not talk to me call gorbachev this i want to. thank or soviets and the russians have an office an inside look at the end of a cold war from the perspective of the last year or so. thank you very much for being with us today it's a great pleasure someone to read

a quote from your book this very occupation by the air of a foreign and your own language to rake through the songs of words and having found the right one feel its texture its size sounding for the threats connecting the two languages has always been my favorite thing to do you are you more a linguist of the plot. true has always been my favorite thing to do i have done many things in my life i was a diplomat i was working in the foreign ministry for many years i have written books i've been a journalist i've been working in the gorbachev foundation as a. kind of advisor to president bush of inches post-presidential years but i would say nevertheless. as a linguist i have been the happiest it's been my vocation my occupation

you've been credited credited with intelligence remarkably open mind but were you ready psychologically to translate those earth shattering event steps gorbachev's leadership brought to the world. or well i think i was reading frankly it's not boasting but i do remember that almost twenty seven years ago i was first asked to interpret for gorbachev even though at that time you know the soviet leader the general secretary of the central committee it was a figure somewhere in the clouds i do remember that i was not a for. that i was psychological the really and part of it of course was that everyone was kind of feeling and expecting that coverage there was something new that one must not be afraid of him but also i think because i loved at that time my work i enjoyed it was part of that love for my work as

a linguist for what was your personal perception of the world at that point standing next to a guy who was turning it upside down well i was very much in favor of change and i was very much for perestroika initially during the first couple of years i frankly was worried that the whole thing will be perhaps just because maybe that it will not get enough support either in the soviet the stablish mind or among the people but then of course it was because of some decisions taken by gorbachev that the process accelerated and what's more important painted so momentum and became not dependent on gorbachev alone or. associates so the feeling was that yes change is necessary the feeling was just change is

possible but the board doubts. also said that interpreters occupies. a position that the apparatus not only working for government officials but more poor ones own personal really pretty thing is the core principle of interpreters relationship charge trust oh it certainly is trust the thing is that you have to be trusted not just by your side but also by the other side i think that is something that younger interpreters need to understand you are not neutral. you certainly are part of the process of reaching mutual understanding so whatever you can do in a way from both sides you should do but of course being also at the same time the official the foreign ministry official you have to bear that in mind as well well

you seem to archigram ran around with an curvature of life interpreter of course but did you ever have to be the psychologist counselor at times not really know but it's important for an interpreter for a diplomat for anyone to understand that you're working with a human being no one is perfect you have to make allowance for the specificity is of human character so far as your guy is concerned gorbachev so far as the other side is concerned because they too work human beings and an interpreter can be i think in certain situations. a positive factor i do remember for example when after reagan's visit to moscow in one thousand eighty eight the visit was practically over quadrature reagan were to attend a concert at the bolshoi theater. and i must say that the u.s.

security. protection at that time was a little heavy handed and they started to frisk just about everyone who was entering the bullshit and as a result of that the concert the beginning of the concert was late by almost an hour and that frankly upset the children that upset. and they said well do we need to go to that concert we need the last dinner that was to follow the concert and frankly at that time not as a psychologist but i said. that you know it's the heavy handed decision in a certain person the real group of people well it's not you know tarnish the great event very good summit with. making this a big deal and perhaps it helps because. everyone on the

visit and then on a nice note well i want to talk a little more about cricket not clicking i mean obviously speak to gorbachev and speak to people in their own language so you understand a little more of their mentality and their their path of thinking did you ever maybe by some uncertain approaches to certain persons. some top personalities easier to deal with and others except for a can oh well for sure some top personalities are easier to deal with than others but you have to bear in mind that i became personally close in his post-presidential years i was not i was a government official at that time i was not really a member of his inner circle so no i never dared to. act as someone who advises on the personal aspects of this kind of thing a later of course you know i had been with him for almost twenty seven years now so

later yes it has happened. that we discussed the individuals with whom she was dealing. beings not only americans and foreigners but also russians but that came later. ok for you personally i do understand every meeting that. with was unprecedented groundbreaking but was there one in particular that stood out for you. well you might be surprised. everything stands out reykjavik stands but it's not it's not washington it's the meeting in helsinki after the aggression of saddam hussein against kuwait that really stands out in my mind even more than malta the meeting between gorbachev and bush in helsinki even more than multi stands out as the and the cold war because that

was the first time when it was not the dynamics of confrontation opposition of the two major powers but the dynamics of carter ration card peroration in stopping the aggression that really worked in both countries show that they are able to do it that they're able to take certain steps to make compromises to make that corporation work so to me that was an enormously important event which was there and i remember by the way that's not about her but i do remember during the meeting between shevardnadze baker could see how the news came and how it was brought in by baker's associate about saddam hussein's invasion of kuwait and it was totally unexpected they did not spend much time discussing it could be agreed that they would be in contact and

then those contacts led to that in my opinion truly story and perhaps underestimated meeting between gorbachev and bush in helsinki where you'd said that you've been working with him for twenty seven years now how is time. fact that your perception turns eighteen now how would you assess his legacy to russia and the world well i think you know i was working with him in those years because i believed in what he was doing i was a foreign ministry official and had i for example wanted an appointment somber abroad it was you know past time it was past due services so i could have asked in eighty seven in eighty eight to be posted somewhere abroad i didn't do that i worked for him because i had a commitment for what he and his associates were doing to change the country and

then of course it turned of that it changed not only our country changed the world that appreciation that opinion i think is very much still with me it has been confirmed by subsequent events i. always believed that it would not be easy that it would not be for our country or for the world it would not be a feast or celebration everything is nice so you know i have been disappointed that i was disappointed in the. many things in this country about many things in the world but nevertheless i do think that. practically any unbiased human being looks at how things were thirty years ago and how things are in the world today it has to be a positive assessment is mikhail gorbachev your man of the twentieth century.

certainly as i frankly don't very much believe in those competitions those contests certainly there were people in his generation and the previous generations who. affected the twentieth century in important positive ways and of course you have to look when you talk about a man of the twentieth century have to look for people who made a positive contribution and he was certainly among the like top three top five persons all of whom really really made the world better now his romance with his late wife teresa was almost as famous as the one who would you describe his vision of how the world as romantic. well. no i don't think he had a romantic vision of the world but she was one of the luckiest person in the world really a perfect couple in the sense that. everything was just smooth and perfect. and

you know you really see that kind of personal commitment and love and i saw that i. will watch that admired that. thank you very much for this interview thank you ok. wealthy british style. sometimes looks like. the. markets why not can only. find out what's really happening to the global economy in cars a report on our culture is that so much of an oldish music is on the market the battle for libya is the so-called humanitarian intervention there so

lifted a bus to uni and the junior world champion slipped shot from the blueline hurdle beating for his first goal in the third play of the match and seven minutes later the railway man added one more chance again one more point for system mouth ki moon who put a committee for three nothing but a plan didn't give up and kept attacking with their forts eventually rewarded you can was very close to earning his first born shit in a play offs but he wanted to enforce the quickness on the sport to reduce look as lead and dish the keepers hopes for a shot out and twelve seconds before the final was an appliance captain sergei my second broke away for a short handed goal it seemed to turn the tide the host took off the goalie for an additional plan but they're going to want to face up and bottle demitra see the final score for two and a cherry and. we didn't want to go on early vacation and just had to win today he performs all defensive play and i can say we borrowed that from our opponents

lokomotiv were the first to score for the first time in the series we made several mistakes at the end of the match but we still had a good advantage and i want to thank my guys for that performance it was a very tough match for us i'm still glad or innit. we're going to produce a glance leads to the best of seven series do three one and have a chance to be a team inclusive as the teams go to yellow slowly for game five on thursday to play both of energy. now the latest from tennis a nod to fish stays in the hunt for the cyrix an open title in miami after progress ing into the quarterfinals the american forced to play a lot of rallies against fifth seed juan martin del potro but his defensive tennis paid off in the end mission also a bit lucky at first that when she won seven five helped by that board ball in his favor on the break point zero the clock throws unforced error at sixty five seconds a tie break loss to replace the quarterfinals fish successfully through and could

replace andy roddick as america's number one player and it can be deadly for eric in the last eight. if i win one more match or go through he gone. you know that's. something that i'll probably never feel like the number one american does considering what he's accomplished in his career and he certainly. you know got my career involved elsewhere wins for the top seeds raw pile of dollars out of georgia which tomas berdych also advances as does kevin anderson the in-form south africa continues on the winning side which has helped him in danger had his big loss that week now the twenty four year old is through to the quarter finals in miami with win over thirtieth seed john isner. moving on and it's an ominous statement of intent for his rivals five time olympic champion young thorpe saying he wants to be quote better than i used to be the australian swimmer confirmed last month he has to come out of
