time it will be a democratic process how many international observers will be there at the elections and this will have a number of international observers no doubt we had quite a lot of them during the previous election and so they came from different countries including some european states who's been invited and who has agreed to come visit and we'll definitely have representatives from those countries that recognize us as well as officials from multiple international organizations political parties including those from europe they will receive invitations from our parliament and our central election committee what else is done to make sure these elections are fair and conform to international standards. we observers reported that are produced election conforms with the standards of democracy that the election procedure was well thought through although there has been some feedback from the candidates on what could be improved but this has been considered by the parliament in order to make the election outcome even more reliable than what you feel. the prime minister of your main competitor is the acting president

how do you manage the country. the governmental nepotism is are working as currently in accordance with our constitution the presidential duties are performed by the parliament speaker all the ministries are working as usual you with concerns that the elections would be falsified and promised to fight if your victory would be taking from you hope for are you ready to go. to pick up the lection floor does nothing but lying to our own people it's the worst crime one could commit with all of us here not because you will do everything to never looked out hard but political tensions put the country on the brink of civil war in two thousand and four is that a threat today or yesterday of someone attempts to rig the ballot or pull some dirty tricks then of course it could be a threat to you where would you what will your foreign policy priorities be. well now for our priority strategic partner is russia and our foreign policy will focus on relations with russia but in addition to this we keep working on getting older

more distant countries to recognize us we're looking for partners for friendly states which are less dependent on nato as policy on the united states and despite some quite high pressure from the major powers that would be such states are at their this process continues and it will not stop if we are convinced that a cheating further international recognition will to a significant extent depend on how we keep on developing as a country on our progress in home affairs and for example we'll be setting is joining russia and not in any time and if you church is that if we are highly interested in joining those international organizations that russia is our strategic partner is a member of the of for instance such organizations as the shanghai cooperation organization with his joint military program and also. the customs union the as many of the organizations we'd like to participate wherever possible that's our interest but we are not talking about becoming part of another state and neither is

russia thinking in such terms for our cloaks with georgia possible move. in a certain format to talks with georgia are still ongoing if we think of the geneva talks as for direct dialogue i think it is possible and will be necessary in future you know right at the moment the prospects to reach a consensus on this matter appear quite negative with first of all the georgian authorities have themselves restricted the possibilities for dialogue by adopting the law on occupied territories this doesn't leave any chance for maintaining a dialogue is there fear of another georgian aggression. we are quite used to it by now and we have had to deal with a number of acts of aggression but now that we have a strategic partnership with russia which defines our mutual obligations it gives us reliable security guarantees and our society has stopped to consider. the external threat to our security as a priority issue we have other top priority threats to do with now. as for how far

is georgia prepared to go to restore what it calls its territorial integrity which is pushing these are the roots of our conflict that lie in the fact that george is claiming our territory as long as it keeps claiming that there is no way to reach an agreement that was more refugees are allowed to return to the bordering district of gali are you prepared to let them return to their homes and so whom the capital will breath the suppose this process has actually been completed those people who wanted to return did so well those who didn't are adopting to their lives at their new places of residence they should be receiving help both from the international community and georgian authorities because the problem of refugees is a two way problem which should be addressed everywhere via a combined two way approach those people who can be brought back home should be helped to return and that's what we did in jew course those who couldn't return should be helped find accommodation where they ended up living there those people who can be brought back home should be helps to return and that's what we did in

two time well those who couldn't return should be held to accommodate where they ended up living. those people who have been returned home want to be citizens with full rights that we've been visiting chance and settlements in the bordering district of galilee during the election campaign and the main thing the district residents are asking for is to speed up the process of recognizing their citizenship and providing them with passports and that's what we want to help them become our country's citizens with full rights under justice to all international processes through this there is a whole generation of people in a positive sense of quiet who wars with georgia during the past twenty years how is it possible at all for these people to live peaceful lives is a good debate is over if we speak of youth organizations we have twelve such groups that are causing a sense to them are participating in the fair election campaign. their position is neutral but they're going to be observing the upcoming elections and ten other organizations have gone public with their decision to support my candidacy because

captain says the club regrets the barcelona of those days and stressed state saying lost key players. could have considered four or five goals for a team like ours everyone was talking about arsenal salt no one to conclude. it's hasn't been easy. you might. have lost. we were nervous at the start and confidence minute by minute. could make his debut for barcelona tonight in the spanish super cup against reality to rid the sides during the first leg at the bernabeu leaving things evenly balanced for the return game at the nou camp bassett coach pep guardiola said his team would need to produce an extraordinary performance though to win the cup but was costly over who he would pick for tonight's game given the burgeoning talent he's got in the squad . we have to manage this kind of push an additional two years we spoke about.

and the. players are huge players. but there are many many many games. they can understand i can imagine that. every conference of me up to the training session the people you know when droughts why don't bully disco why do the bleeding these. to the tennis now and maria sharapova was somewhat relieved today after early exits recent tournament in stamford and toronto she has made round three of the cincinnati masters the former world number one the four seed in ohio this week peter strain and to see it early on over in straight sets six one six three to score afterward saying despite a few ups and downs in the second set she was pleased with her performance while the now joins you out there in the third round after a comprehensive win over lucifer over the chinese in good form here taking the first set six three and then the second six for the victory only taking an hour and twenty two minutes. rather also first round matches going on russian

anally for trover. both winning there is although twelve seed and see public jenga very easy losing to flavia pennetta and serena williams seem relieved to get through her first round match against the unseeded chair and he had better the former number one took the first set easily enough six three and a comfortable but then she led a match point slip in the second set and ended up winning that one on a tie break williams clearly glad at the end of taking it in straight sets. and there was a bit of revenge for roger federer in the men's draw he beat by martin del potro the man who beat him in the u.s. open final two years ago better at showing glimpses of his very best than the first set which he took six three and even though the second was tough for the world number three got a crucial break to win it seven five then heads into the last sixteen.

so two is the right seat i was although after just scraping the first set on a tie break against why monaco it looked far from certain whether he would win but the czechs in silence the any doubt is plowing through the next set six games to love finishing off but it makes of much point to get past the argentine. i'm responding to the support of the home crowd which james blake they were eager for him to make up for andy roddick's really exit the day before and blake did just that defeating italy's probably affinia less than an hour some fantastic four hands giving in the first set six four and a breeze three to second sixty he's finishing things off break into round three. and other matches so rushes macleod over jane to make the second round he beat ukraine cygnus the north ski and next place last week spineless the montreal mardy fish however fed a russian we could usually separate a first round exit at the hands of michael over france. in other news the
