here without a bra top stories it's a french official calls for ground troops to enter libya saying the campaign will be quote if they're not deployed but as france finds itself writing three foreign wars president sarkozy's biggest battle is convincing zone if you stay on site. a critically ill russian convict is pleading to end his own life he's a superior god benteke threatening losing his sight and the use of his legs but officials are adamant that information is not an option it's done in the country.

and veterans in georgia say they've been abandoned by the country thing for what for the force to survive on fifteen dollars a month and the soldiers recently tried to protest in the lines all detained. for the resistance crackdowns on militants in the north caucuses seeing russian security forces kill dozens of extremists the head of the chechen republic tells us why that region remains the main terrorist and what's being done to combat it. well mr graham did it thank you very much for having us here in chechnya specifical thank you for coming but you have been arrested but there have been many unconfirmed reports lately stating that lot of the man behind the bombing at the

nigerian way it was his desk. with you know pretty or not i would only say that information was completely true if i saw his body or what i can say is not at all signs indicate that he should have been there if he wasn't in fact there when we attacked a lot of them we will have to keep on working and he has to be eliminated or thrown in jail computer security agencies will work on. us we have any idea where he made me at the moment is the has now because. i knew where he was i would be in the middle of a search and destroy operation right now rather than sitting here talking to the press or. sitting down to the leader of a gang mean essentially destroying the gang itself. on a so called little morcombe illegal armed groups are very organized and when the leader of the gang is killed other gang leaders are usually happy. was there during our attack in the operation as well but in any case the operation was a big success and i think it was because our spiritual counselor was there we had

a very good result and i think people might of was not there with his henchmen he will join them soon enough. what can happen here about illegal armed groups being destroyed the number of attacks and policemen is not decreasing their level it seems like terrorist groups are rapidly increasing their numbers by your estimation how many terrorists are active. at the moment. macaca is it. normal tell you about the entire caucasus because as far as chechens arkansas. and there are about sixty to seventy active students in the soonest taking turns more about the tactics used by these bandits and those who attack the republic based in chechnya they travel from one republic to another throughout the whole caucasus. and miller. has proclaimed the caucus is a single emirate so they are popping up all over the region when we have people here they appear in english and vice versa. or what drives young men from the

caucasus to join armed groups and of. course it is something that no one understands i spoke to a man who was to become a suicide bomber to sacrifice his life i asked why he wanted to do it or he didn't understand i told him islam is encouraged in the chechen republic are you not allowed to build mosques or to take the hardship are you banned from wearing the hijab or observing the soldiers who are going to why do you come out and say i fight in the name of allah we are all muslims everything we do is for the good of muslim people and religion they were i am an abiding muslim myself i live by the laws of islam but what is happening between us he didn't answer me most of the people who chose to become suicide bombers are mentally retarded there is blind or deaf they find these people completely disconnected from the outside world and use them but the cause of what is happening in our republic the caucasus russia and all over the world. has. anything to do with the notion that gang members are more

socially secure absolutely the focus of the rhetoric of bull is absolutely not it used to be true yes there are rumors circulating now about terrorists being paid in dollars nothing of the sort is happening they don't have any money they don't even have a place to stay they are always on the move never stopping at any place for a long time before we can talk special operations to locate them but they are very hard to find specially now that there are a few of them left it is not because. they are so good at concealment they used to get a lot of support not so much these days it was spoken out against negotiating with terrorists or as you put it criminals do you maintain that position to these days to go to the seriously think you know. why negotiate what we have to talk about or the russian authorities are doing everything for them to come and live peacefully we have all the agencies florida and we eagerly welcome them to come and give away

their submachine guns give themselves up and then relevant agencies will deal with them you cannot who should we negotiate with just imagine because you with each and every one if they kill a huge number of people that is why they are now scared to protect themselves they are now doing everything possible to attract young people so that they ensure their security a little bit they know that they have no future if we give power to them they would not know what to do with this power it's funny indeed that therefore they had better apologize to the people of the chechen republic and russia and to move the them around you would give them. a lock profession of course. we should be forgiving each other and for the sake of people and for the right forcible you wouldn't reason yeah. me you know why if they understood everything or if a person says that he understood everything i don't think you should be taken to prison actually i'm against people being taken to prison. i'm not mistaken last

summer you said that sherry a lot is about russian legislation do you really think. only a muslim or. yes i do being a muslim i'd rather die one hundred times than dissipate sharia law i'm a believer it doesn't mean that sharia law does not allow us to serve people as we do today and serve russia one million percent i'm sorry a law is more important for me in life laws are applied somehow and other says where when and how to apply them it's all of us. right therefore when people ask me if i'm against world marriage i don't have the right to say that i'm against never in my life will i say this because our law allows it to well what's your personal take on that. a lot of that i have no objection to it a lot of louse it how can i object whose could you're of to object i am a g.p. devout muslim and questions like this one seems strange to me but animal i will never say anything against yours if i did object i would cease to object to

everything done a lot. look at what our law says about it you have to be morally sound you know all your wives the same if you follow all the rules then having a second and third wife is a thousand times as difficult as having a lover of this when they asked me what is more important to get here of i say of course that the laws of the show riot are more important we live in a secular state you think the law permits us to live and work while observing the law as long as the law does not intrude on the rights of muslims and if the law does intrude on your rights as a muslim you shouldn't fight you should leave the country find a place where you fit in and i'm a believer who tries to follow the laws of his loudest. well they. are definitely a religious man but you're also a statesman which means you have just called the russian constitution should there be a borderline between them in a matter society. and that's a big problem with sharia law obliges us to protect the constitution of the russian

federation and the constitution of the chechen republic we should be carefully protecting the existing system i mean muslims from one who how do you think it's possible to foster tolerance religious and ethnic in our society and in our country because according to the latest events we're far away from that as a possible ethnically tolerant generation but if not more of course yes why not how classless everything is being done for that in our republic for which there is mutual understanding in all respects in terms of religion and ethnic origin mine we haven't had a single interethnic clash we live in build our future treating everybody equally but we get ethnic minorities an opportunity to promote their cultural heritage including their language and everything for free. but when i asked about tolerance i meant the latest events at nine years where. there was nothing interethnic about what happened on the nash where just as in other countries

somebody masterminded all this gathered people and wanted to stir them up against each other but i'm sure that we are incapable of it we've always stood together as good friends i'm sure the chechens will never go to money square or to any other square but we'll be declaring our enmity we already saw this we saw what happened after rallies and what rallies bring about and so much will constitute the russian constitution states any citizen of russia could become president of the russian federation do you think and on russian could ever become precious president clinton if not more should we of course if the constitution says so why not so much get a muslim congressman president bush one with from our why not whose name is not a public enemy. on the contrary if he's a believer if he fears god's one book he should be doing even more than any other person is just like a christian i can't think of a suitable candidate where there is a system and most people are russians making this question today was even appropriate for that. time african american could become us president.

that's why they are having problems now. what do you think. we do for. a political machine i'm for them they are pursuing an incorrect regarding muslims the hanging of saddam hussein no matter what kind of person he was was an insult to all muslims they hung him in the former president on a muslim holiday when obama came to power he started doing what he could personally think is that he had a chance he would have made a certain reshuffle but he's prevented from doing so as i see it written before one of us welcome us you want to make chesney a destination for tourists where you at right now could you imagine an english couple. kids public for vacation. native of a couple of weeks ago i visited that region and there were painters who came there to do a practical course there were students i think they paid so beautifully and i asked

them if they liked the place and they told me the place was very beautiful and that everyone was very hospitable there are a lot of tourists coming here we have a very unusual place in the d.n.c. district a very beautiful place a lot of people are going there but there will be two tourist resorts there are actors performers officials comic your career where you make the same to keep your friends close and your enemies even closer to your suitcase but i thought it was in a colorful it's very bad if you have enemies how can i keep them close by or even close or if he's an enemy if you have an enemy you should finish him off or i don't have anything so i don't know where to keep of the court i have friends. not enemies there is no such person who could sit down together with me and say i am your foe rather than here's what i don't like you don't respect he just afraid of you that's just what they want it and i would be happy if they told me frankly what i did wrong to somebody personally and then i would at least have

a chance to prove that it's not my fault and that they do not have a moral right to be against a leader but it's why i believe that i have no photos i have friends my dream is to make everybody who has a bad opinion of me learn that kind of person i really have no matter what kind of person are you really. here. i'm a very good person in all respects and i try to be impartial if i do something wrong i apologize and i don't feel shy about it or if a person lies i can tell him he's lying i lived this life with the awareness that it may ended any moment what matters most is reputation and dignity to save human face and so. for thank you. i live in a country that don't understand that there's more violence in the streets of this

country than there are in the streets in afghanistan or baghdad. one night in the discouraging become a brace of. good vibes exams comes from the some forms. of crowd gathers momentum going down the street the victims. to something has been to the children of inspiration for the long lost secret of thomas steel has been discovered. now archie goes east of lake baikal with the longest russian railway line runs. for the sunday times or the lies

a point further back. and could stand out at the other end spartak now prop up the table under four points and are on four points along with tom carr and ross stuff. but over in england united back from their f.a. cup semifinal the three two rivals manchester city are going nine points clear at the top of the premier league table if you cassell on tuesday saturday's defeat ended united's hopes of any late in their treble of nine hundred ninety nine but for alex ferguson's side six zero is from second place arsenal's draw with liverpool on sunday six games to go in the season they also welcome back and joining as a. band tenth place newcastle last long no the last until the last time out and a six points above the relegation zone manager alan pardew believes his side still need to win one more to remain in the top flight but admits it will be tough trying to do that first time victory over the red devils but. they don't lose

the latest season is the biggest yet with one hundred forty nine men's and aids and women staying stake in port. a huge rise in interest has been registered in many regions of russia it's really important because professional basketball has always been well developed in moscow and this recent shift registered in regions is really reassuring i think association is on the right way whether it's a regional or a countrywide playoff or even a regular championship match these games are attracting fans this season is carefully tailored to ensure that both players and supporters can play for or cheer and there's chemistry i like it because my friends play on the team and it's great to see my friends when and i hope they will win today too that most people that i align basketball or lost i used to go to the school it was here that i started playing this game. against buses full of students or was followed if they were teens so it's clear that basketball is attracting more fans the fan base is

constantly growing a sport events become popular among students and the greater the number of young players the more professional coaches and basketball players they have even more so for russia student athletes lack the kind of attention their peers get elsewhere north america's and see double a for instance alexander beloved the son of russia's and big basketball champion series gable up has experienced both worlds he's now player coach at moscow's a lot has made the level still feel different to the united states much higher just like the level n.b.a. is different from the early stuff but you know. me i think it's a great project back and you know i have got to have something not like a. it's a double a fun time it blow. them all this though c h no student basketball encompasses over

two hundred universities across russia from leading brad. all the leagues a far cry from its american version of the and see double eight is big growing stronger in the last three seasons with at least twenty players make it it's of the pros that's a number that's the foundation goal of the new future as russia prepares to host the twenty third seed university games in cars and the student sports gets the maximum of attention from the governments on cos right r.c. moscow. i'm not brings us to the end of the sports science fawcett i hung back again until i asked sinai which the weatherman kerry would behave and used as a. if
