welcome back to this week's top stories from archie the triple a if that's now america's accounting anxiety its credit crowd has taken down a wrong in the ratings as investors shudder over how the debt ceiling raised was how. it rounded off a rocky week of global markets with wall street's worst week in over two years worsened by europe's debts and fears of a second a possible american recession. the seizures former president goes on trial for mass

killing and corruption a weary public see the replacement regime failing to meet the revolutions demands. but in neighboring israel of the reform rally swelled to a quarter of a million people in tel aviv angry that the government's lead living costs get out of. all the eve of the a third anniversary of the south of such a war president of viet of spoke to argy and other broadcasters about why he took action and the legacy of got decision well here's what the russian leader had to say. i said that mr president thank you very much for agreeing to answer our questions then let us go back to the events of two thousand and eight back then you met with the georgian president mikheil saakashvili your meeting took place in st petersburg and there was an impression that points both into d.c. and in moscow that we had arrived at some sort of an accord and the dispute should not be allowed to pile over into an armed conflict and i reiterate that it's

feelings present both in moscow and it's b.c. you tell us that the managed to agree on anything that the georgian president back then. pushes the question you know catherine i had the same impression at the time when i can still recall meeting president saakashvili for the first time i was in some petersburg we met in the constantine palace and mr secretary arrived i told him literally little you know there are many problems in the region at the moment georgia is at odds with these unrecognized states but i can assure you that as a newly elected president of russia i shall do everything in my capacity to help you find some compromise solutions good accommodate everyone and would eventually facilitate a reintegration of georgian territory if that's acceptable for all the parties in a cage a negotiation naturally couples this is what i told it word for word and his response was sort of course we are ready to cooperate and i also have this impression that we could at least try to find some creative solutions if not

a new chapter in time but first of all there was an opportunity to meet on a regular basis but i can tell you earnestly i spent the next month checking regularly for any feedback from our georgetown counterparts there was nothing of the same time georgia was getting more and more visits from envoys from across the ocean as they would be dubbed. the moment of truth for me as i realized later well analyzing those events in hindsight over and over again came with a visit by u.s. secretary of state conda lisa rice still flying following that visit my georgian colleague simply dropped. all communication with us he simply stopped talking to us he stopped writing letters and making phone calls it was apparent that he had some new plans now and those plans were implemented later. mr president am i correct to assume that the way you see it visit by the u.s. secretary of state it's all it was meant to urge president saakashvili into the country do you think the united states was deliberately encouraging georgia to pursue a conflict with them which you know i don't think so the united states is

a very large country headed by pragmatic people but in politics connotations a nuance is a very important as it is i don't believe the americans have heard george as president to reinvade but i do believe that there were certain subtleties and certain hints made statements like it's time to restore constitutional order or it's time to be more assertive which could effectively feed saakashvili apparent hopes the b. americans would back him in any conflict that they were stand up for georgia and even go to war with the russians therefore i do see a relation between ms rice's visit to georgia and the events that followed just as i see a link in my further discussions with the u.s. president our phone conversation and then also some meetings at the top of the world one more question in here up if they still believe that while russia's initial response was legitimate as self-defense the further actions of the russian troops were excessive why wasn't it an option to push the georgian forces out of

the set yet and stop at that point to change. course later. you know sophie people are free to make speculation like now and i have come across the many times to try putting yourself in the shoes of russia's commander in chief my shoes that is sure sure we could have merely forced them out and stopped there but what we're hearing from georgia we should fall back to our initial position and our american friends and that allies will help us rearm get our new aircraft and what not and then with your resume the same offensive with any. viggo the world or letting them do that would have been a crime against the memory of those who died protecting their land and therefore our mission at the time was to destroy georgia's war machine so that it wouldn't be able to target civilians i said to have cars here on the russian federation because as you know it's all mixed back that that was the one. that was a. surprise to us that you were referring to the peace and foursomes operation and

i keep thinking back to to doing libya and syria when do you consider it acceptable to step up what's your rationale for deciding whether it's ok to launch a missile wasn't be sure that there is russia to be lenient to gadhafi in libya and here it is imposing sanctions against syria how do you accommodate your decisions on georgia back then and russia's stance on today's prices. you see alexey it's always case by case there are no identical countries and there are no identical solutions i guess it's clear to you what is going on in libya sort of as a man who has been running the country for forty years and at some point he decided to use force against his own people still less that this was condemned by the entire international community including russia which is we're not taking any part in the military campaign reza few nations are attempting to still order in libya through military means we don't think it's the right thing to do but there is one nuance you should keep in mind today had been split into three parts by the time of

the war it should have been about pulling the country back together for them with rather than merely restoring constitutional order of libya is still in one piece such a risk does exist for libya but so far the parties in the conflict clothing the so-called rebels in the program daphne forces have pledged that preserve their country's territorial integrity so the situations are quite different however i'm not saying this to explain how we make decisions or i'm merely trying to demonstrate that all of these situations and scenarios are totally diverse. this goes for other countries as well some of us i see what about syria and shit syria syria is a more complex issue but sadly their situation has been unfolding in a very dramatic way so far. all of us practical politician should keep a close watch on the developments in that country daffy for one had issued unequivocal orders to slaughter opposition activists by contrast syria's president

never ordered anything like that unfortunately people are dying in syria in grave numbers and not around is our deepest concern therefore in my discussions with president assad during our personal conversation was planted in our correspondence i've been advocating one principle idea that he should immediately north reforms reconcile with the opposition restore civil accord and start developing a modern state should he fail to do that he's in for a grim faced with and we will eventually have to take some decisions on syria to actually we've been watching developments very attentively the situation is changing and so are our objectives on the minutes as it enters the rest of this is a look at some of the numbers in the wake of the war in two thousand and eight russian envoy said the representatives of south the sect is de facto government argued that the fighting in simi valley that claimed two thousand lives that was the number that was the now but later on russia's investigative committee estimate

of the casualties it's no more than one hundred fifty people i think i mean while it was this alleged toll of two thousand and thirteen some of the main reasons for launching the so-called peace important operation how do you account for this discrepancy now three years after that i will. not go look at it when you. get in itself and i have explained by rationale for taking out a decision on the universe occasions you see i didn't go to any figures for motivation this isn't exactly a case for mathematics and more noise and let me remind you what was going on where on the night between. the seventh and it's the eighth well i received a phone call from the defense minister i was on the vacation of the guy sailing down the volga river and the whole world was looking forward to the olympics that were about to take off in china a minister told me a good georgia had launched a full scale combat operation so look at the honest my initial reaction was complete that was also used that i told the minister we should check this is really

completely out of his mind robotic maybe it's just a provocative act they say the stress test of your seconds is trying to send us some kind of message and i will later the minister reported to me this is no bluff they've unleashed an elaborate artillery barrage which are now using grad rocket launchers and. i said all right i'll wait for another update in some more tired hostile minister called again i have something to tell you i believe they've just leveled the tent full of our peacekeepers killing every one of them what was i supposed to do i said return fire and shoot to kill or no figures had been announced at that point. mr president you said you give the order to return fire let's get on the operation continued after that so whatever weapons rolled in and the conflict turned into an all out war could you tell us about how you made the decision to continue the operation and not a question that all our colleagues would like answered you who called who first did you call prime minister gordon d.g. or did he call you how did you and the prime minister called you need to move when

you can was when i was there so the first time i contacted him about a conflict stance was about twenty four hours after it had broken out someone who was involved was already ablaze what mr putin just made a statement condemning tbilisi's move that was the right thing to do of course with us we spoke twenty four hours after the attack over a secure line was i do understand it's not very appropriate to discuss matters like this by south areas it's also a lot of trouble to establish a secure line with someone who's in a different country that we taught and we talking at all when he came back but even before his return i called to meet. at the security council i explained my position my decision to return fire and engage in conflict the security council members voiced their support for my decision sometime later we had the meeting in sochi which mr putin attended i don't want anything on the question of russia's accession to the world trade organization is very relevant these days russia wants into the w t o w c o wants russian the problem as far as we understand is that george is

blocking russia's accession it is the only country that's not in favor of russia joining the w t o. there's been talk about georgia agreeing to agree to russian succession if russia lifts its impact on the imported georgian goods to make some other concessions is russia willing to pass a for it and what is your take on the prospect of russian joining. us. that was very well put and one point i don't want to do is barter for it that would be immoral georgia has a position on russia's w t o a session we respect that position as we respect the stance of any of us over a state as long as that position is in line with the goals set out in the w t o's charter trade and trade preferences custom regimes we're ready to discuss it all the imports of wine and mineral water we will discuss anything but the problem is something else in essence our colleagues in georgia are trying to force

a new edition of a political problem under the guise of w. to go recession i'm referring to entry points control over the traffic of goods then they will want to get the e.u. involved russian opposition on this is clear if you want information about the traffic of goods including transit forever and south a sense here we will provide it via a modern electronic database i've agreed to the suggestions made by the swiss president regarding this and i recently discussed it with president obama what we're ready to implement the model that switzerland has proposed to us what the weather if they try to change current political reality is serving as a prerequisite for russia w.t. over session we won't fall for that w t o recessional is not too high a price to pay thank you very much mr president.
