welcome back kotter past the hour and here's a look at the stories we're covering today are two british courts are cracking down the rioters with some stiff sentences but human rights groups accuse judges of over reacting by dishing out severe penalties indiscriminately to young men have been given a four year sentences for posting a joke message on facebook for people to loot their home town. r.t. here is the syrian the voices that welcomed the government's troops moving its of their towns but international calls to prosecute president assad's regime for human

rights violations and the cost of these against protesters known louder. and of them also regions biannual international airfield continues with the aerobatic displaced in the skies and deals being signed on the ground all it's business good business thursday at six thousand and eleven with plenty of the five spots on the back. of the republic because this is preparing for an early election following the death of its president well any future leader will take on a region still recovering from conflict with neighboring georgia well next we talked to the country's acting president about the challenges his country faces. we are in the republic of cause here were preparations are underway for the presidential election. the country's acting president and also one of the candidates and he's here with us today but upcoming election will be the second

presidential election since a cause a gain recognition just how hard it is for a cause it's a live as an independent state i hear from of course there are many difficulties with the competition a lot already but there's still an enormous amount of work to be done but we're optimistic about our future and the most important thing is that following our country's recognition we've had its security ensured now all we need to do is get down to work as there are a lot of things to be done for the country and people many of causey and currently reside abroad there are also georgian refugees who would like to return to their homes in the closet will the upcoming election take into consideration the needs of those who consider this republic their home then even europe with us and i don't see any relation between the abkhazians who resided brought in russia or in more remote places and the refugees who became ones because of the wall as for the election it's only citizens vote republican are eligible to vote there's nothing i can add to this international observers the president of the election who's been

invited already and we're agreed to come not to let it would you prefer to not be able be very many observers if one hundred is a lot standing there it is because that is approximately the number of observers that will be monitoring on election we have already sent the invitations are sort of going to wait observers were present in significant numbers at the previous election and circled back and she got reelected i can tell you honestly that their evaluations were mostly positive for have because you serve is considered our election from a fairly democratic and transparent and maintained it because you should serve as an example for many countries but keep the upcoming election will go exactly like that as well since a pause here remains unrecognized by many countries what are the chances that the current the lecture. and will be considered political of the broad when we have them both new whom we don't even focus on normally what matters to us is that we must administer the election in accordance with their concious legislation and

others may react to it is another matter what is truly important is that we do everything right those who unbiased will come up with an impartial assessment of the election that's pretty issue of recognition of our election let me speak plainly even if it sounds a bit too blunt for this interview and we didn't really catch it according to supporters of your competitor sergey samba is the current leader of the polls with almost forty percent support what are your views on the campaign you are in compliance with a longstanding principle i would prefer to refrain from mentioning any names now in according to our new and improved procedure is a good insight in the figures have opinions is a very intricate matter especially in the air because in society and figures do not always reflect the actual situation the results of the election will become clear once the votes have been counted and formalized in an official statement as for today we're busy preparing to vote and the election campaign is generally moving ahead without any trouble there are occasional rough edges but i'm confident that

the people in some of the campaign headquarters will just distances and kate along with going clones of the agreement that was signed by the three presidential candidates the political battles of two thousand and four place the pause there on the brink of civil war what should be done to avoid such a scenario today. there's nothing of the kind not by a long shot in two thousand and four the situation was absolutely different so i can tell you honestly and i believe it's very important that your viewers should be made aware of this back in two thousand and four it was through some very serious efforts by surrogate bank and rule him that the situation was stabilized i would even say that it was thanks to the wisdom and full sight of these two politicians but now the situation was resolved successfully and approved. whitley society was very grateful to both of them for that one if anyone feels that the events of two thousand and four may recur i believe such an assessment is premature and we i mean

the society do not share the opinion of those who believe this election should end up with some kind of confrontation we have entirely different planets all of the risks are cause in treaty our military cooperation the played grown work for stationing russian troops on the country was signed one a half years ago but it has been submitted for a typical by the russian parliament only recently why is the process getting a fresh start today is the fear of new georgian aggression and that's not what was about nothing in the wrist when i was with us we know that for us georgia is not a very friendly state at kazi is present legal standing allows us to say that any aggression will be repelled would be for size the presence of russian servicemen feeds our optimism about the future of a safety an ounce of our country is securely protected pointed to strengthen this kind of cooperation with aggression federation we've also been collaborating with russia in other areas everything is just getting started and it all looks promising

a new actually rewarding we intend to meticulously implement the comprehensive agreement signed by our two presidents is said to be treated if and just to set a baggage we strongly support the case of strengthening our relations with russia what kind of methods can we expect from georgia and its attempts of restoring official police sequels to countries through tauriel integrity when the us over the past years we've lost a lot of people to violence at the border including over one hundred russian peacekeepers as well as open accounts customs offices reservists and civilians and it's certainly georgian politicians that is to blame even today regretfully the georgians of thinning gauge insults and sabotage operations as you probably remember when there was a russian order true. but a young lieutenant colonel who was killed in action a few months ago he was in the news reports it's right that russian border troops keep settling down in have coliseum i believe that in a year or so our border will be sufficiently fortified and the situation will

change drastically if we're really looking forward to that was or is it possible for georgians who are prepared to recognize a closet as an independent state to return to their homes not only in the bordering gali district but also let's say in the capital support that's going to you see organize and for today the situation in the early districts is very different from what it was like in the past and we convinced that there will be continuous progress at the moment when we should about nine thousand of causing the whole schools to the resistance of the gaudi district and this trend continues because we strongly concerned that all people should feel safe and live in peace traditionally this area was always well developed economically and we're confident that people will pick up eventually and the life of the people in gali will improve we believe that this district has great prospects and it is ourselves to make sure that all girlie residents feel like rightful citizens of our republic of korea there's a whole generation of people in

a positive who survived two wars with georgia during the past twenty years as a possible at all for these people to live peaceful lives. through them over there if you refer to our young people aged eighteen to twenty they've already cherished the events of the recent past and honor the memory of those who defended their country's independence and it's the task of the government to keep strengthening this memory the way i see it all people don't live in constant expectation of things to come nor do they consciously think back to the events of the past for my point you do because these presents a mystic situation is very tranquil you've survived five us nation attempts during the path six years why has no one been charged you probably know who's behind them . is your life in danger now but it can go in the past like a politician should only. be aware of danger as for me personally these assassination attempts are being investigated by the relevant security agencies have made considerable progress in this aspect but this is an issue for

a separate discussion. needs foreign investment but is it possible to attract capital to projects in the country when its legal and economic status lacks credibility in the eyes of potential investors how would a qazi a protect them from national investors coming of course our own budget is quite modest and we certainly are in need of money in the form of investment the president mostly investment comes from russia but we would definitely be happy if international businesses would also consider cooperating with the republic of the coliseum we are open with that kind of visibility and the investment legislation is fairly advanced we're going to leave this is surely going to happen someday as for now we mainly get investment from the russian federation and we're very happy about it logo and we understand each other very well and our prospects at great the russian city of sochi is very close to our cause is there any profit for applause in the fact that so much is being invested in the sorties a limpid project the predicaments are for a new number much to our regrets we are unable to organize in jus time so as to

take part in those projects at least with our commodities i'm talking about sandy gravel cement to crush stone we do deliver some of the materials but the volumes are very tiny if we were to increase our sales this was certainly under some money and that would be good for both thought business and government if you miss a pharma sales volumes virtually and significant i caught up thank you for your time with us today.
