and the promise of a single economic government fails to reassure anxious investors as fresh trouble over greece once again threatens stability. hungary's new media law has created quite a stir in the e.u. with the setting up of a new government controlled authority. spoke with the country's foreign affairs committee vice chairman to talk about the controversial initiative and the impact it might have on the freedom of the press. it's not been long since hungry handed. the presidency to poland and president mr all down has been pushing ahead with his controversial new media law we're joined now by the vice chairman for the foreign affairs committee at the parliament here in hungary thank you very much for joining us now press freedom is a fundamental principle of the do you think the hungry some even further away from

the valleys and stand with this maybe a little more there has been a lot of talk especially in the last half year about e.u. values and standards we never really know what this exactly means i mean. and i don't think the b.u. has an almighty right to determine where ly be boundaries of such principles we never really heard the clear 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 these 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 of press so even in the e.u. the opinions about the hungarian media law have been very diverse it has received

criticisms and it has also been defended by some politicians in the e.u. 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 when people from outside try 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 hungary and freedom of press freedom of speech and . trying to tell us what kind of rules are the best for hungary and we had in this country in the past twenty years during the history of hungary in democracy so to speak 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 on the the on the the embroil of this media law that we never heard anybody say anything in europe or outside of europe criticizing this media law so i think that we have to be very careful when we when we judge this of course we have our valid criticisms against this law. to say about the ways in which the law itself was introduced had some people saying that it was done with a lot of secrecy and it seemed to be a little bit underhand what 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 enticement 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 thora t. are purely it's very one sided it's not a balance for only a few that's 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 when 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. the minimum would be that the parliament appoints them and 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 supervision to this authority how much of a threat in those press freedoms 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 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 previous to pretty sort of this media that was extremely liberal we had in hungary in journalism newspapers televisions radios the majority of people who used to work in the previous era who used to work in a dictatorship 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 in. the second world war germany you would have journalists that have written articles in the focus should be 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 though in this country we had a very very one sided very one sided liberal and left wing type of journalism which is to be balanced and there is no question about it but i think now depending . somehow struck to the other direction. so i understand the reaction but i think it has gone too far on the other end some people describe this is the government taking a loan to the media there's been a lot of layoffs are the government just trying to cut their own people and power is that tree i'm not

a media expert but. 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 that would say that hungary a national media is are not oversized in terms of employment i mean. some kind of rationalisation. was long overdue everybody has been always talking about it the socialists 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 people off because they saw that it is unsustainable. so i think. this debate has become very politicized it's more about politics than about professional commerce see i mean if something is also stable you have to cut costs and if if something is over bureaucratized. you know you're going to have people laid off so this

based on this new media law 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 the unfortunate consequence of such a situation why did the each east speak out say very clear on this particular issue when as he said it's ignored other very important issues that have been happening here in the country why do you think that he has this issue to speak out say very clear about it was an ideological and political. attack now we have a right wing government. and right wing 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 and 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 bank government already had one term and it was very interesting to see. the volume. and the extensiveness of this criticism that this government has received from outside of hungary and you can expect exactly identify who those people are where the sick criticism comes from and what is the direction of the criticism it is which has something to do with with the fear of for a 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 this was admitted that 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 at on the streets who went on the streets to demonstrate against a prime minister who made the speech the 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 speech was leaked out and there was huge progress in this country. nobody else seems to care in the whole world in the democratic world that usually are worried about democratic values or the values of the european union whatever they might be. how they are being respected in this country so i think that there isn't an extremist wrong double standard against this country. which also manifests itself in the criticism that this media law has

received thanks very much for joining us thank you very much. if. you want to. say. this is true he still keeps its secrets but now it's time to reveal that in the soviet files on oxy cool.

games on sunday spartak moscow draw with not a chick on the road that leads twenty six minutes in through good header rows about every one in the box on trying cross for on the right to build the level of mentors in the fifteen minutes and the similar situation to seal the final score of one one the most coveted stay fooled while she continued to struggle at the bottom. elsewhere and had no problems against the borg and usually no growth rushing them at home five nailed. with a brace and this one look i might see it edged out. in moscow and big spending the do not want. to want my legs on that approach nico getting the win though for the hosts. and the second week of the english football season and man seems to move to the top of the early standings after beating ball down three two at the reebok stadium a second win in as many matches barry and zach goal scoring for city elsewhere

wolves who escaped relegation last may but full on to nail and they were also winners and we could go while still do it new boys nor each and. both are still seeking their first victories this season ricci delayed summated one deal with his first off strike but can go and jones leveled in the dying seconds. moving states as well as angeles galaxy is new signing are a big key made it only twenty minutes to score his first goal in the m.l.s. the irishman to balance in the club's fixture against san jose earthquakes having trained just once on the eve of the game however keane wasted no time not seeing his first in front of the american crowd well that's why the first minute the former told him striker opened the scoring up to get the ball from galaxy star david beckham it finished in a two nail victory for the al east side that led them to move six points clear of seattle in the western conference. which when you come into a new team it's always nice to get

a fourth go. you know if you go few games you know. sometimes are going to more and so. it was no use to get them to get the fourth go goal to. hopefully deuce to drop more. now i saw on the fourth season tips off in just a few weeks time clubs from five countries will taper this year but build up series by taking a look at one of russia's biggest names 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 scars a star studded squad was led by three head 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 it's a clown's head coach militias you got who is in now at the helm of scott st

petersburg are you guys who go where you go to the sky had previously played very well every season look at buying top spots in the conference and when they leave and then some problems emerged with the four who work on it state by state going up through the team look if it's going to stay in a free game we will build a man's to pick column and move the hands in the regular championship doesn't work without beating the drum for claiming that we are number one or number two we will simply work on a. scar will start the new season without star players like alex a yosh and the other chair yannick he again a backup and maksim for shinseki however their presence will hardly be missed as the new coach has attracted the guardian cup winners patrick taurus and and carol because solved among other quite capable players with a major playoff experience my balls are somewhat part of the playoffs last year i was fine that was a great experience so it's it's very loud and they have good process i really enjoy

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 that stands 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 and. you know i'm good scenes are some to work on that they're going to right now discuss first spend a match in st petersburg show that this side is ready to reach new heights in the cage and that sentiment echoed with the fans as well as that scene delighted supporters with a three two win over another cage hillside. 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 crocus of the new study thank you yeah it's a pity that some of the stars of left the club and on the other hand i'm glad when

i hope to garner cup winners like patrick torsen defenses another pleasant surprise and split reaper four minutes from our new coach is a controversial figure but i hope you will bring the result scott st petersburg have always been one of the top sides during the cage shell's a regular season however once the playoffs dawned it seems efforts deflated and soon it was out of contention for the guarin cup some diehard fans and bundy's who are inclined towards mysticism even said that the team is under some kind of a playoff spell the realists though believe it's all about those involved so they are the man from the banks of the ball river more common than known as the scott think it is very will be looking to break that play of hex 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 so that they knew a position will be playing and scott's favor among cos rep for our team in st petersburg. staying with hawk and since i'm the guy in cup win as i became their

campaign all september the ninth against all out favorites sky men have recently been invented has been lost to oblongs prices and it was of course king takes a look at their preparations. ugh bars are getting used to life with the dino who's relinquished his club duties to manage the national team. even a coup none of those should command the respect of the players. the former defenseman led team russia to bronze at the two thousand and five ruled championships and held. the russian championship the same year beloved enough not too far from the action though taking the time to scope out potential prospects for international duty. was acquired from. off season i and the latvian international is already feeling the pressure of the finals with the season yet to start i.

specially fear playing. such high hopes for the championship. you know. we just got to try and try to win the cup and. we'll have fun with. aag bar set of top notch training facilities if you ask former n.h.l. stars in the new signing also understands the huge expectations they cold with donning the snow leopard jersey i think our training facility and all. i know it's a top notch organization. the two time to go out and coke winners also added one of the most feared men in the league during the off season transfer bonanza. a former almost call could boast

a world record slap shot registry a speed of nearly one hundred seventy eight kilometers an hour during the latest all-star game the og bars faithful fully ready to embrace the new signing but captain alex same company no those same fans expect nothing less than a third. party. and in rugby finally new. and 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 are hosting the salt and no love lost between the sides who had shared the tri nations title since two thousand and one drive a lot bakkies botha and some well what a lot squaring up to each other within the first ten minutes there is altering 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 of calm is tried just

before half time was old the all blacks could muster eight seemed so five the final score there but the zealand will still win the tri nations a baby just trying to improve spain next weekend. that's the latest in sport for the hour coming up shortly as the weather stay with us. i think it would. be strange to keep
