sean combs discovers what makes this so special for the detractors for many. parts of these bones if you live in the flood zone. extradition to the bottom of your tree. it was hard to live from moscow a reminder of the week's top stories believe in capital's been rocked by nato's have used air strikes since the start of military operations the bombings have reportedly claimed more than thirty lives and led to a growing anger at foreign intervention. moscow agrees to lift the ban on european vegetables if the e.u. can guarantee they are free from the deadly e. coli bacteria they surance came from president medvedev during russia's new talks of years also discuss russia's accession to the world trade organization and the

situation in libya. also the e.u. prepares a new rescue package for bankrupt brings sparking massive protest against tougher cuts in the country there's outrage to germany work critics say they're tired of paying for other people's debts calling on greece to leave the eurozone. and people here in moscow and nationwide are celebrating russia day it's twenty years since the country staged the first free presidential elections just one year after declaring independence from the soviet union. next r.t.m. meets a possible candidate for next year's french presidential election far right leader marine upin believes the current government has put france in danger of being colonized by its own former colonies. so when an unprecedented first round victory in france's presidential elections

next year she says the fraud is on the verge of revolution what tactics do you expect nicolas sarkozy to use to try and stop you would in power. you know i don't think there is a risk a person a sincere and defiance he's a her own ideas there is no reason to warry the greatest change in connection with nicolas sarkozy so he may again do what he did in two thousand and seven namely make a number of extremely tough statements regarding the threats regulation of immigration process and european protectionism for those statements will remain what they are just verbiage after all during his four years in office and another nine years at the head of the security system he was interior minister before he became president he strictly speaking nothing as i repeatedly sap to him he had allowed words and weak hands so from time to time the french tend to delude themselves thinking that maybe this time he'll carry out his promises but in actual fact he made good for

not a single promise he was throwing around during his two thousand and seven campaign what effect will straw's cause or worst have on the french elections so this means that strauss kahn is really a symbol of some sort a symbol of universalism clause devoid of african norms a symbol of hysterical liberalism and in this sounds he was indeed an emblematic candidate for from the human point of view considering what he's like the fact that he has been neutralized in not distress you i think is that in consequence nicolas sarkozy automatically has given a gold walks a german this is due to the fact that the electorates of dominic strauss can and they claw sarkozy are in part identical because prices are up holding the same grand ideas so a woman have complained about sexual assault by the extras called for. it's a risk but the french media refuse to investigate what does that say to you. yes there does exist a problem of falling public morality on my part i am urging the citizens of france

to recover their read this matter the french must become exacting again this and must say after all that five ministers resigned in the course of one year over a conflict of interests mr blank's mr mr worth and even frederick mitterrand him you are speaking about been forced into resignation five ministers during one year and six who deserve to be kept on is too much for want government moreover i'm not forgetting that it was nicolas sarkozy who pointed dominic strauss kahn france's minister of finance doing so in full knowledge of the critical remarks with regard to comms womanizing behavior but he took the risk of a possible scandal a scandal like it was so much the whole of france how many people refused to vote in french elections traditionally and how much of the vote you expect. so this depends on the elections absent asians amount to twenty percent asian a sixty it's significant you must be sat at the high offices in france are rotated

between persons who never fulfilled their promises so at a certain moment the french simply got tired and other phenomena existing in western countries today is about economic power being preferred over political power so why should the french go somewhere to vote for their rulers it's clear that the rulers of powerless are that this country is run by those who possess economic power this is why in order to make the french but you also have to explain to them that politics should seize the initiative from economics and finally france is not a democracy it's high time we stopped telling ourselves fairy tales williams a frenchman are in no way represented in the national soundly usually account for between fifteen and twenty percent of votes the communist party at the same time as deputies even though they have just five percent of the vote since far from every frenchman feels that he's anything he has is only natural abstain from elections

it's all about affirmative action for. here in france what does that mean the rot is thousand of them because today all the enterprises and pretty big ones have signed a charter that prescribes hiring people from other cultures or a different origin which means that a frenchman who frenchman with french troops will end up behind others i believe it's a gross violation of the republican principle of equality on my part i believe in markets over the color of the skin is the origins that person really deserves it will get the job to agree that some should take the job just due to his or her color of their skin or region or face is an absolute contradiction of the basic values of france it means if you are a foreigner you have a better chance of a plume and then a french citizen thus they heard of. a major french enterprise issued a statement because darius. personally all of the conditions being equal i can

phone calling a person a home and hundreds who are so as a result the french are discriminated in their own country this is a world turned upside down what's the consequences for immigration into france continues record levels. first of all immigration is used to lower wages you see the labor market is something which speaks for itself it's about demand and supply it also allows foreign citizens to enter our country and work for peanuts thus making salaries go down is a labor that has been used in more than thirty years there are more than five million jobs lost people in france how can it be that a law permits another two hundred thousand people a year to enter the country with five million unemployed and these jobless people are just forced to do whatever they can to survive who lets them survive the state which obviously lots of deficit grow such i believe that immigration as it is now is sheer nonsense i believe that the current situation is actually related to child

colonial history and not to me putin was quite right saying in about twenty years france is due to become a colony of its own former colonies as a matter of fact we are witnessing something over vange by the group of these peoples since france is made to feel guilty by saying you are scoundrels calling noises and slavers so you have no right to hinder in any way those who come to france the french have put up with the mass immigration and today they are aware that this massive immigration is fraught with huge problems those of state financing self-consciousness and living together hear them talk many of these young men just hate farms now that they have gained independence one may think they will be developing their own countries by demonstrating a better without it. thousands of north africans from through to me recently. italians use the system they use shan again they use

the european union so they know that any legal regularized by any country of the e.u. can with these documents cage or any other country of the e.u. they say please no problem at all eighty percent of tunisians want to go to france or give them documents i would like that they will leave and that is exactly what they did a regular rice the legals and they all came to france should remain. to be allowed free movement within the e.u. as is now being discussed here in the european parliament. it will be tragic it will be an additional immigration it is obvious it will be a signal for a massive immigration more particularly a very much it was useless for nicolas sarkozy to sing and dance and go and get all the world television to say come and see i will take a moment back to a border which does not exist now they will have the possibility to come and settle as they want in france but they are

a considerable number we know they are very poor people but once more france being the most attractive country in all e.u. will be up to her to face this inflow of immigration with the consequences going with it in terms of conflicts once more of living together people cannot bury our. government said the libyan war would. you expect to happen. because firstly you are completely outside international law which is stop talking nonsense it is no longer at all an air exclusion zone we are in a mission to bring down a man and regime and in order to do so we bomb we send helicopters and tomorrow obviously we will send an army on the ground so it's no longer it's all about humanitarian issues it's about a civil war in which we take one side and even in a tribal war which objective least. not of our business unless you consider france as other countries has to muddle again in the internal affairs of face of the country we will not get out of this war or get bogged down in this one and in

addition i ready to take baths unfortunately so warns that the regime will come after khadafi sworn will be an islamist regime and probably one of the hardest islam isn't as we know well that the dissidents the rebels of garci are in the majority infiltrated by all x.t. hardest from all wars of recent times for lawyers or suing sarkozy for war crimes on behalf of libyan. children due to french to support for france is the bid to bring the country in this is not liked by the league that is not politically correct he did not say it strange people do not know at all that hundreds thousands of civilians die under nature's that's it nobody knows i'm going to dump the son for i have no friendship i never met him he was not my friend i have nothing in common with him at all when he son his wife and his three babies

are killed by strikes from nato only a private house nobody said a word just as if these new being babies were not really babies you would take fraud out of the boys even for frogs but with the goats today years death certificate is just waiting to be signed this means that those who built this currency wrong and he took with them are the people and the major failure at the economic and social levels while that six year is going to die i think it should be better to anticipate this death rather than suffer from the stuff which will be otherwise real economic and social chaos but they have told us the euro will bring growth employment rates purchasing power allowing us to counterbalance the power of the dollar story because the euro zone is the weakest in the world and a design is bankrupt almost. germany has just said it's scrapping its nuclear plans three in four french people are against nuclear energy what will you do with nuclear and she if you become president. i think it's impossible to do without me

janet g. today in france i mean given the importance of this energy for our national independence so eventually their objective is to invest in the research so as to try and find alternatives and i chased them but we cannot consider getting out of nuclear energy by twenty twenty two or twenty twenty five that's just germany which actually has been preparing his accent for a long time. and head of the national front thank you for speaking with all three. wild kings go mad there people suffer. while some take advantage of power that was given to them the. secrets of big dirty

money. on arcane. wealthy british soil most of us moved on to the front of. the. market long enough to. find out what's really happening to the global economy cause a report on our. mind

. would be soon which bryson a few moments from phones to print in some. news for instance on t.v. . its top stories here in our team's libyan capital has been rocked by nato heaviest airstrikes since the start of military operations the bombings have reportedly claimed more than thirty lives and led to growing anger at foreign intervention in moscow agrees to lift the ban on european festivals if the e.u. can guarantee their free from the deadly e. coli bacteria assurance came from president would be added during rush it easier talks to leaders also discuss russia's accession to the world trade organization and the situation n.d.p. and. also the e.u. prepares a new rescue package for bankrupt greece sparking a massive protest against tougher cuts in the country there is outrage tonight in

germany where critics say they're tired of paying for other people's debts calling on greens to leave the euro zone. and people here in moscow and nationwide are celebrating russia day twenty years since the country states of spurs three presidential elections just one year after the glaring at her parents from the start even the. time now for sports of the end is here with us and of course got the latest as always on what's happening and have become a homecoming for one of russia's big basketball stars that's right former m.p. . of house returned to moscow after his switch to the n.b.a. and he watched his old he get a vital victory last night we caught up with him to look at the details just after the. hello there are you watching this sport and these are the headlines. perfect start

him piece done defending champions to his scar in the russian basketball finals classy done it again vettel takes his six pole from seven races ahead of the canadian grand prix. and the big countdown with a thousand days of the sort you winter paralympics athletes take time out in training to inspire. first applied to be crowned russian basketball champions has got underway with him keep winning the first game of the best of five finals against his scar a late surge giving them the edge over the defending champions it is the fourth time in five years these teams have faced each other in the end of season finale and two years scar have won all of them so him pete making a great start to these playoffs with the seventy seven points to seventy two victory on the road gratian power forward that is a mile long top scoring for him with sixteen points allowed to make that tally pleased and added fifteen again tonight again at the tears carina and expect

another tough encounter. for example by drugs and it says god. plan a route renewal import. for this. kind of jump or any kind of surprise i'm going to be the. fourth or the second is the much harder for us. to try to. come to the fourth quarter we are going to be really more nervous that's our goal for. him case almost stars to me is promising russia will not cut corners as they prepare for the upcoming european championships the denver nuggets player has been back in moscow ahead of the euro basket tournament which starts in it when you're in a month's time growing cost caught up with him. despite its not quite making it to the top of the bill just yet city my famous golf had already managed to make the headlines in north america he became part of

a blockbuster multiplayer trade that saw him move to denver nuggets and carmelo anthony the new york knicks well mozzies and you'd seen were knocked out of the first playoff round in the n.b.a. giving him an opportunity to visit home and prepare for the upcoming european championship in lithuania winning the continental trophy in twenty eleven will mean automatic qualification for the london olympics. i can't make any promises immigrants in the euro basket but i can say that i'm sure the guys will perform at their best and no one will cut corners and i think that if i enjoy cura lang curry joins us will have better chances because of his experience to be a great help. despite leaving russia still has a large fan base at his previous club called him he knows he keeps in touch with them for his online blog and those lucky enough may even catch one of his master classes in the russian capital but where are the fans most dedicated in russia or the united states. when i played for khimki i saw the same people at

all the games it was a group of fans who form the majority of the audience and even followed the team to other cities in regards to the n.b.a. well they might have something similar although i personally never came across such a thing you just get a full audience of people who come to support something but i never saw such a thing in the us when an organized group of fans would take up a large share of the audience and root for that same. fan support is not the only difference between the russian basketball league and the n.b.a. the american schedule is a more intense with the regular season games sometimes held four times a week so the studying of the opponent shot practice or simply warm up takes center stage during practice providing plenty of room for individual skills. it is team play no one negates that but compared to europe it is somehow more individualized i would say the game is based on the single players who play one on

one and win it they may score a goal just make a pass european basketball not to mention russia is slightly different people try to find other solutions to the difficulties that arise during the game. the russians will be hoping to qualify for the on the olympics by winning the european championship in september let's hope that both russian and b.a. stars andrei kirilenko and the more famous golfer will be available to help the team a little rainy or acquired individual skills from the united states and their home bred scene play is expected to be the winning formula. see moscow now it is becoming a thermal year story in formula one sebastian vettel has grabbed pole position again this time for sunday's canadian grand prix but claims rain could have a big say on who wins this one the red bull driver top qualifying to grab his six pole in seven races this season finishing just under two tenths of a second faster than ferrari's fernando alonso his teammate felipe massa and red

bull's other driver mark webber will start and fall on the grid respectively however unsettled weather is predicted and it could be the first time a race has been held on a wet kit this season i think we had a school of qualifying and two very good runs we were able to use the first time a lot of the tire so all in all i'm very happy totally a big step but you know the main task comes to moral conditions are very likely to change so we will see some rain the question is when how much so we will see put obviously you know he wants the best best possible position possible while in motor g.p. casey stone as taken pole for the british grand prix at silverstone this trailing piling more pressure on jorge lorenzo with the defending champion starting from third place on the grid behind italy's marco simoncelli stone is just seven points behind the renzo who leads the overall standing. so you fastest man over one

hundred meters this year have gone head to head at the latest diamond league meeting with steve mullins ping his training partner tyson gay to first place in new york three false starts or three competitors disqualified before the race finally got underway and when it began it was mullings from jamaica and got the fastest out of the blocks getting a move in the first the however the american read here them through the second part of the race and it looked like you might have wanted to replay the show see dick to willie and that gave mullings victory in a time of ten point two six seconds relatively slow but there was a strong headwind. my mother are just under a thousand days to go before the twenty fourteen winter paralympics in sochi one of russia's best medal hopes is her early seven and she's been using her incredible life story inspire others to overcome their disabilities for the canyon has nor.

the aging clue thousand and eight the paralympic games will russia's elicit will begin a struggled and so the new world record in the women's one hundred meter breaststroke wood was even more marketable is that of the twenty three year old read through just five months after she had lost her left arm in a car accident while she was in holding in thailand and prior to that had contemplated cooling the sport a victory was a triumph of mental strength and she's always really be sure the thoughts are with those who are strictly needed the swimmers know embezzler for the switch to a fourteen olympics and with one thousand days to go to the games is good disabled people in one of most schools rehabilitation centers and the chance to see and hear firsthand what it takes to accept the challenge of overcoming injuries unwilling. sport is what brought me back to life and made it worth living i managed to return

to swimming and win the paralympics that's what inspired me and gave me strength i discovered any world new people and you goals to achieve. having got the new oliseh . and the angels the whole band which consists of hearing impaired youngsters even those who once might have lost hope might get it back. i believe it's my duty to share my experience and views with anyone who is interested no matter if they have disabilities or not with some of them it could be really encouraging i know it works as they've seen it with my own eyes many times. it's very nice i'm from lisa she's a great example for all of us some people would have given up but once they saw her and you have a story they didn't she helps us change our lives well done only to. disappoint her achievements and then it would still call people like elizabeth disabled well in many respects they proved to be more evil than all of us. were going on forty

in school now let's switch to tennis and andy murray will pay joel free to tsonga in sunday's final queen's the brit beating four time champion andy roddick in the semi's in this warm up event for wimbledon great all round game coming together for this one smashing thirteen nations including the one which sealed the first set six three and the two thousand and nine champion went on to win the second six one one hundred experience roddick was back after injury after missing the french open. but next up murray is there were free to tsonga who not stop fourteen aces in his straight sets win against local hopeful and world number. one six three seven six the school to song in the last round is after his first title in over twenty months .

meanwhile golfers are preparing for next week's u.s. open sweden's robert karlsson is a man in form at the moment he maintains a one shot lead after three rounds at the classic in memphis he hit a two under par sixty eight on saturday and again with steady hitting this approach on the fifteenth to within seven feet of the pin you could drop a couple of shots in the last couple of holes but the swede stays on top of the leaderboard at eleven under overall one shot ahead of american harrison fraser and england's robert rockies close to claiming his first title on the european tour he's a two shot lead going into the final round of the italian open carling a sixty eight on saturday which leaves him on sixteen overall just ahead of a chasing group of six. so that brings us the end of the sport so we've got more.
