this is a home in miniature operation in the country and the u.n. is preparing to call on the international criminal court to investigate the regime's lethal crackdown on protesters. and the moscow region. continues with aerobatic displays in the sky lucrative deals being signed on the grounds. of republic of the caucuses and preparing for an early election following the death of its president and any future leader will take on a region still work compering from conflict with neighboring georgia next we talked to the country's president about the challenges his country faces. we are in the republic of a cause here where preparations are under way for the august presidential election . is the country's acting president and also one of the candidates and he's here with us today the upcoming election will be the second presidential election since

of cause a gain recognition just how hard it is for a cause here to live as an independent state i hear from of course there are many difficulties with the company a lot already but there's still an enormous amount of work to be done we're optimistic about our future 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 cause currently reside the brought there also georgian refugees who would like to return to their homes in the plaza will the upcoming election take into consideration the needs of those who consider this republic their home then even you know of course yes you know i don't see any relation between the abkhazians who resigned abroad in russia or in more remote places and the refugees who became ones because of the war and as for the election it's only citizens vote republican are eligible to vote there's nothing i can add to this will the international observers be present at the

election who's been invited already and who agreed to come number two that it wouldn't push him and there will be a very many observers if one hundred is a lot sten then it is because that is approximately the number of observers that will be monitoring on election we have already sent the invitations opon and source and that by the way observers were present in significant numbers at the previous election when sergey baggage got reelected i can tell you honestly that their evaluations were mostly positive for him because you. can see that our election to be fairly democratic and transparent and maintain that if you should serve as an example for many countries i think the upcoming election will go exactly like. that is well since a pause here remains unrecognized by many countries what are the chances that the current election will be considered legitimate abroad than we have with them but a new broom we don't even focus on that what matters to us is that we must administer the election in accordance with their concious legislation how 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 as for the issue of recognition of our election let me speak plainly even if it sounds a bit too blunt for this interview we don't really camping 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. in compliance with a longstanding principle i would prefer to refrain from mentioning any names now and according to our new and improved procedures i wouldn't cite any figures public opinion 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 the votes and the election campaign is generally moving ahead without any trouble but there are occasional rough edges but i'm confident that the people in some of the campaign headquarters really just this stone says

and keep along the guidelines 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. and there's nothing in the kind of not by a long shot in two thousand and four the situation was absolutely difference 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 sergei baghdad and rule has that the situation was stabilized i would even say that it was. thanks to the wisdom and full sight of these two politicians into the situation was resolved successfully and appropriately. society was very grateful to both of them for that one if anyone feels that the events of two thousand and four may recur and i believe such an assessment is premature because 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 plans. the result because in treaty on military cooperation the glade grown work for stationing russian troops in the country was signed one half years ago but it has been submitted for a terrific ation by the russian parliament only recently why is the process getting a fresh start today is the fear of new georgian aggression and was not what would have been asking of those members who got so we know that for us georgia is not a very friendly state at kanzius present legal standing allows us to say that any aggression will be repelled if the size of the presence of russian servicemen feeds our optimism about the future safety and that of our country is securely protected and we intend to strengthen this kind of cooperation with the russian federation and we've also been collaborating with russia in other areas everything is just getting started and it all looks promising

a mutually rewarding if we intend to meticulously implement the comprehensive agreement signed by our two presidents dimitri medvedev and mr second 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 what official police equals the country's three 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 obo to go its customs offices reservists and civilians and they certainly georgian politicians that is to blame i think even today regretfully the georgian. often in gauging assaults and sabotage operations as you probably remember when there was a russian i would attribute a young lieutenant colonel who was killed in action a few months ago he was in the news reports but despite that russian border troops keep settling down in abkhazia i believe that in the year or so our border will be sufficiently for to find them 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 cause as an independent state to return to their homes not only in the bordering gali district but also let's say in the capital so who should cross or rights come in and say wouldn't you today the situation in the gali district is very different from what it was like in the past and we convinced that there will be continuous progress at the moment we've issued about ninety thousand cosima passports for the residents of the gaudy district and this trend continues and we're 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 it 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 going to tell us to make sure that all gali residents feel like rightful citizens of our republic of 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 the model if you refer to our young people aged eighteen to twenty they ready cherish 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 from my point of view because these present domestic situation is very tranquil you have survived five us this nation attempts during the past six years why has no one been charged you probably know who is. behind them. is your life in danger now but if you are in the past if a politician should always be aware of danger as for me personally these assassination attempts being investigated by the relevant security agencies have made considerable progress in this aspect but this is an issue for a separate discussion applies in 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 international investors creditors of course our own budget is quite modest and we certainly are in need of money in the form of investment when the president makes the investment comes from russia but we would definitely be happy if international businesses would also consider cool phrasing with the republic of the coliseum we are open with that and on fiscal issues investment legislation is fairly advanced and i believe this is surely going to happen someday as for now we mainly get investment from the russian federation and we're very happy when we see it well we understand each other very well and our prospects a great the russian city of sochi is very close to our plaza is there any profit for a cause in the fact that so much is being invested into such as the limbic project critical more southern india where 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

in that in big games the number of competitors increased dramatically and china's concurring them all. this southern russian city of course now there is the capital of trampoline ing in the country with long held traditions of producing world in olympic champions including the first ever women's olympic champion and the most decorated athlete in the sport i mean like i live and the thirty six year old the athletes retains the kind of olympic spirit that so her given the international fair play world in two thousand and one. at the world championship in denmark a judge made a serious mistake and i won the gold medal but i just couldn't accept that and i just had to give the medal to my opinion because it was unfair and i didn't deserve it. however the trampoline is widely used not only for sporting competitions in spaceflight programs that for a soviet cosmonauts he would get in and well. trained on it and it's also used in

cross training for many other sports. but there were many people started trampoline as it provides a foundation for other sports like gymnastics diving freestyle skiing snowboarding and other extreme sports in russia many genes now have trampolines. and the popularity of it is growing. but got complicated in the coordination of movements food goes in hockey players also use it in training for example many food police perform cartwheels and soma sorts of to score goals and they practice those tricks on the trampoline and many other sports use trampolines well the decision speed for jump as high as that of formula one drivers. with its increasing popularity trampoline is working its way into fitness clubs in gyms is becoming more affordable it's agree with of keeping in shape eight minutes of jumping musical to running three kilometers an hour to just a couple of minutes i was running out of when i give it
