the valleys with its maybe a little well there has been a lot of talk especially in the last half year about you know using standards but we never really know what this exactly means i mean. and i don't why i think of a you. know my theory right to determine where lie the boundaries of such principles we never really heard or critically a definition of what exactly these values are what exactly are the fundamentals of these principles and what are the details where exactly are the boundaries of peace so it is always a contentious issue i mean every country every nation state which the e.u. consists of has its own media law has its own institutions that safeguard the freedom of speech or the freedom or for press so even in the e.u. the opinions about various media law have been very diverse it has received

criticisms and it has also been defended by some politicians in the you of course the green and the liberal fraction in the european parliament has been very hysterical about it. i can understand some of their criticisms but on the other hand in this country we have a long history of. people from outside trying to tell us what to do for a long time it was for moscow for fifty years now we have people coming around from brussels from washington rating on the area freedom of press freedom of speech and . trying to tell us what kind of rules are the best for hungary and we've had in this country in the past twenty years during the history of hunger in democracy so to speak a previous media law which was very far from perfect. and there were a lot of instances where the freedom of speech has been very seriously

attacked under the under the umbrella of this media law that we never heard anybody say anything in europe or outside of europe or criticizing this media law so i think that's we have to be very careful when we when we judge this of course we have our valid criticisms against this law of the sea about the ways in which the law itself was introduced that some people saying that it was done with a lot of secrecy and i think a little bit underhand can you tell us about that i think it is very unfortunate when a two thirds majority what the government has in hungary at the moment is used to push through a law very quickly and without very careful consideration first of all i know that there is a huge in price meant to do things very quickly and pushing through laws. now that they even have a majority to change the constitution. but i think that the danger is that

the law is going to be imperfect this law is imperfect from the point of view that for instance the delegates to this media were to be are purely it's very one sided it's not a balanced authority only for this members are being delegated into this authority . the leader of this authority is appointed for nine years which is a long it's in the public office that's a long long time you know i mean during nine years more than two elections go past you know and i think it's it's very unfortunate some people are kind of. stuck to their position you know for nine years the delegates are appointed by the prime minister which is very unusual and the minimum would be that the parliament appoints the i mean there is some kind of proportionality within this authority and some delegates. of the opposition can also be there because we think that is that would bring. the kind of balanced view war supervision to this

authority how much of a threat all the ills i think that's great and i don't think it is going to impact that much on press freedom press freedom in this country has been it has a long history to say the least in this country we used to have for fifty years. media that was completely centralized and run by the party the communist party of hungary following this we had a very very liberal media law the previous the previous answer of this media was extremely liberal we had in hungary in journalism newspapers televisions radios the majority of people who used to work in the previous era we used to work in a dictatorship and i don't know if somebody coming from the west and. comprehend the situation here i mean if just to draw

a parallel this is as if the. post second world war germany you would have journalists that have written articles in the for sure back there before the end of the second world war you see it's a very obscure situation and the problem is that we have a lot of in the past twenty years we had a lot of accumulated grief. emanating from the media at all in this country we have a very very wrong sided very one sided liberal and left wing type of journalism which needs to be balanced and there's no question about it but i think now depending them. somehow struck briefly the other direction. so i understand the reaction but i think it has gone too far on the other end described this is the government taking a loan to the media in a lot of layoffs are the government just trying to cut their own paper installations of power is that tree i'm not

a media expert. i think there are very few people in this country including the socialists who are the loudest about this about this situation there are very few people in this country including them with three vast area national media's are not oversized in terms of employment i mean. some kind of rationalization. was long overdue everybody has been always talking about it but so should this have been talking about it when they were in government this government has not only talking or been talking about it but they have laid the people off because they saw that it is unsustainable. so i think. this debate has become very politicized it's all about politics than about professional commerce see i mean if something is also sustainable you have to cut costs and if if something is over bureaucratized. you know you're going to have people laid off so.

based on this new media angle i think the whole media needs a bit of rethinking including the national media and that is going to be. that is going to hurt some people that's that's the unfortunate consequence of such a situation why didn't he speak out it's a very clear and this particular a shame when as he said it's ignored other very important issues that have been happening here in the country why do you think that the case based state house a basically about it was an ideological and political. attack now we have a right wing government. writing government is always attacked by the left wing liberals in the european parliament this is our past experience. how this works we can only guess we have a socialist party in this country which has extremely good connections in the european parliament. and in the european media this government the audubon government and i'm seeing this being in opposition so i think this somehow add some

value to what i say. in the. in between ninety eight and two thousand and two this government already had one and it was very interesting to see. the volume. and. extensiveness of this criticism that this government has received from outside of hungary and you can exactly exactly identify who those people are where the secret is and comes from and what is the direction of the criticism it is which has something to do with with the fear of for dictatorship being introduced to hungary you know things are and i mean nothing like that happened exactly and when the socialist government ran this country for eight years nobody said a single word in the european parliament and in the e.u. although we know that this was admitted that the hungary and government the

socialist government forces economic statistics that were submitted to the european parliament which is criminal you had the two thousand and six issues when the people were shot on the streets who went on the streets to demonstrate against a prime minister who made a speech this speech was leaked where he admitted to have lied day and night about the economic and other situation in the country and he won the elections through lies and this this was leaked out and there was a pro in this country. nobody else seems to care in the whole world in the democratic world that usually are worried about democratic values or their values a view opinion whatever they might be. how they are being respected in this country so i think that there is an extremely strong double standard against this country. which also manifests itself in the criticism that this may be

a lot more. now is talking on the fourth day chelsea isn't it so often just a few weeks time clubs from five countries will take part of this year but was startled build up series by taking a look at one of russia's biggest teams scott st petersburg. the success of any team begins and ends with a head coach this is somewhat of a sore point for the army men from russia's northern capital of st petersburg in twenty ten alone scots star studded squad was led by three had coaches despite those revamping efforts by the team's board throughout the season the armaments still lost in the conference semifinals against atlanta from the moscow region by the way its atlanta head coach militia gigo who is in now at the helm of scott st petersburg are the guys who go to go to sky had previously played very well in every season or get behind top spots in the conference and when i leave i'm in some

problems emerged with what we work on inspired by standing up for the team rooted spaced in every game we will build on lance to pick our new hates in a regular championship without beating the drum for claiming that we are number one or number two we will simply work on it scot will start the new season without star players like alex a yosh and build archie yannick he again a block up and not seem to shinseki however and their presence will hardly be missed as the new coach has attracted the gari cup winners patrick taurus and and carol because solved among other quite capable players with a major playoff experience the high balls their side but for the playoffs last year i was glad to find i was a great experience so it's a it's very loud to have the crowd surf i really enjoyed playing last saturday something that you work for every year scott began their preparation in the czech republic where the squad concentrated mainly on gaining strength and that's then it

was followed by a brief training camp and that seems home base in st petersburg where the head coach has laid down strategy and tactics for the remainder of the pre-season it's been a tough training camp so far everybody's working to get in shape berman. you know i'm good scenes or a simple workout. i don't want to right now scott first bend imagine st petersburg show that this is ready to reach new heights in the cage shell and that sentiment echoed with the fans as well as that scene delighted supporters with a three two win over another cage l side circuit over me. mind you the match was hardly announced in the media and was held on a practice arena however it was still packed to the rafters focus of the business news story very clear yet it's a pity that some of the stars of lip klugman on the other hand i'm glad when i hope to garner cup winners like patrick torsen plus our defense is another pleasant surprise ends with a great performance and this from our new coach is

a controversial figure one i hope you will bring the result scott st petersburg have always been one of the top sides during the cage shell's regular season however once the playoffs gone it seems efforts deflated and soon it was out of contention for the guarin caught some diehard fans and pundits who are inclined towards a mysticism even said that the team is under some kind of a playoff spell the realists though believe it's all about those involved call the army man from the banks of the nevada river more common than known as that's cos think it is hard will be looking to break that play of hacks in the upcoming season then you had coach miller said as a guy who already has that necessary postseason experience has built quite a capable side and it's helped that the new accommodations will be playing and scott's pay for room on costs rep for our team in st petersburg. staying with hawk and says i'm guy in cup win as i was being in that campaign all september the ninth against all out favorites scott because on men have recently been painted has been

lost top lumps in pre-season it was a horse king takes a look at them preparations. ugh bars are getting used to life without being on the dino was relinquished his club duties to manage the national team but either could all of those should command the respect of the players. the former defenseman led team russia bronze at the two thousand and five world championships and held the boss cow with the russian championship the same year. is enough not too far from the action though taking the time to scope out potential prospects for international duty lauras was acquired from the off season i and the latvian international is already feeling the pressure of the finals with the season yet to start the ball is in all the way in through in the last game of the season. and if not it's oh it's always a disappointment no matter what team you're playing and especially if you're

playing in bars such high hopes for the championship so you know we just we just got to try and try to win the cup and. we'll have fun with that. odd bar set of top notch training facilities if you ask former n.h.l. star and he meets in the new signing also understands the huge expectations they cold with donning the snow leopard jersey i think our training facility and all that is. in all i know it's a top notch organization. and all been very happy to. be a good player for us. the team time to garden coke winners also added one of the most feared men in the league during the off season transfer bonanza denise who actual former almost call could boast the world record slapshot register your speed of nearly one hundred seventy eight kilometers an hour during the latest all-star game

dog barks faithful fully ready to embrace the new signing but captain alex a morozov and company know those same fans expect nothing less than a third garden cup title. our team. and in rugby find many. zylon suffered a thirteen point loss to south africa in the tri nations not the best of wolves ahead of the world cup which the all blacks to hosting the sultan no love lost between the sides and had shabby trying to asians title since two thousand and one brought a lot bakkies botha and somewhat lots waring up to each other within the first ten minutes the resulting penalty from more than steyn would put the has six zero up steyn very much on phone with a good kicking out a couple of penalties and adding a drop goal to make it fifteen nothing to south africa. which you can always draw i just before half time was all the all blacks could muster a teams of five the final school there but you soon will still win the try and
