oh geez my old. omission speech now in the palm of your. machine. is called. welcome back you're watching our t.v. coming to you live from moscow these are the top stories moscow recognizes lidia's transitional council as a functioning levy an authority in the statement russia's foreign minister emphasized moscow has long called for gadhafi to go but says nato is approach sure bring him down violates international law. and divisions within libya resonated obvious family and as one of his sons vows to fan the girls stronghold of syria till the end that shortly after his brother reportedly opera's talks to and the bloodshed. and russia are members of victims of the beslan school

massacre that should the country of the whole world seven years ago chechen terrorists kept more than one thousand people hostage in a siege that lasted for three days and left over three hundred people dead most of them children. friends of libya a group comprised of sixty countries is due to meet in paris to discuss the future of the country post gadhafi had of a gathering moscow special envoy talks exclusively to r.t. about what may be in store for the country after israel and a future of its relations with russia our interview with me helmer gallop scumming up next. which i think i had a civil war about to end in libya what's the chances facing the new libyan authorities what role can russia play and is it going to help the new libya we're joined by a russian senate to me. the russian president's special envoy for africa and

chairman of the federation council's foreign affairs committee that doesn't. back in may russia recognized the national transitional council as a legitimate party to the talks recently the russian president said that russia might recognize the new authorities as long as they can unite the country based on democratic principles despite the dramatic events in libya can we say that russia's position on libya has seen some adjustments over the past six months. perhaps it's not such a good idea to start my answer with the word no but still be on syria's no opposition on the libyan political crisis has remained unchanged from the start in february we believe strongly that everything that has happened in libya is a political crisis which must be resolved naturally through political negotiation and consultation you can't resolve a crisis like this with a military force he said because when gadhafi issued his criminal orders to bomb

the peaceful demonstration of those who opposed his regime and we said the same thing when the coalition started bombing tripoli we say the same thing today when the rebels have achieved syria's military success we said of the libyan political crisis will not. this is just the end of the military phase of the crisis what we need today is consultation with the widest possible range of political forces in order to achieve national unity as regards our formal relations with libya we have not severed diplomatic ties with the country i'd like to stress that our relations are with libya as a country and we have always said but the people of libya are only friends they are let's compare the situation in libya with out of syria to new zero or egypt those countries have had revolutions they've had a change of regime. but russia did not recall its embassy from cheeriness or from cairo our ambassadors had contact with the former governments and now we have contact with the new governments the same principle works in libya. mr margelov

some complain that russia's foreign policy is heavily. influenced by their east factis whereas progressive countries straight away supported the revolutionary forces the opposition the transitional council etc how would you respond to this criticism and. our approach has never been to wait and see ever since the world leaders approached president medvedev and developed and asked him to help establish political dialogue between the different parties in the libyan conflict our approach has never been to just wait and see of course unlike many of the progressive regimes you mentioned we've had enough of revolution in our own history we prefer evolution that's why we are somewhat reluctant to throw our support behind revolutionary rhetoric we understand clearly of slogans pass away and the t.v.'s political process it seems so we're just doing our best to help stop this quiet political process as soon as possible. that when did the painkillers the

opposition give up the idea of negotiating with colonel gadhafi or his team. as regards differences within the m.t.c. always been differences over political dialogue and negotiations you always have some people who are more revolution oriented and people who are less revolution oriented i've met those people and i have to say i take them seriously i like them and i have a lot of respect for them both in tripoli and in benghazi and in other capitals where members of the libyan political elite reside all those people belong to the same political elite which has emerged in libya over the past forty five years i don't agree with the suggestion that a party that was in favor of political negotiations has suffered a defeat and libya's national transitional council will still have to negotiate towards a national union after the fighting in. russia and the g. eight spoke in favor of colonel gadhafi stepping down at this summit in jovial what

does the future hold for colonel gadhafi. we are probably not the ones who are best able to answer the question about mr gadhafi and his future it would be better addressed to the libyan justice system and to international tribunals mr gadhafi has lost his legitimacy as a ruler and his right to be called the leader of his people when he ordered airstrikes on unarmed civilians who were rallying to express political protest we stopped regarding mr gadhafi as a partner in negotiations when that happened i would say mr gadhafi will now determine his own future he chose the hardest both i would even say a suicidal perth he chose to make his supporters shed blood on his behalf until the last moment while he remained in hiding we do not know where he is presently it could be libya it could be another country regardless of this the position he chose is not one of a politician who thinks about the future at the position of a politician who is trying to save his own life if mr good after years on the run

people will look for him and they will find him the fact is a word for this to get off his arrest has been issued by the international criminal court it won't be revoked. but. now a question about the political process we touched upon earlier do you think the libyans will be able to reach some kind of balance some a common denominator because the previous ones have been left in the past is there any other idea that will unite everyone apart from toppling good daffy's regime. i think this government will only be successful if it in campuses the largest possible number of different libyan the political religious tribal cultural and professional groups in this case i think the council would have to contact the royal family or the factions of the ruling elite in cairo led by mr gadhafi is cousin after madoff who spoke strongly against mr gadhafi his policy of suppressing popular protests by force they would also have to deal with various factions within

the enticing which is not a uniform organization but rather a colorful collection of various people and political groups each with its own beliefs and interests there are representatives of the tribal elite which i think will be needed if national unity is to be established or also representatives of the intelligentsia and culture workers i can't mention any unions or similar institutions since over the past forty years gadhafi regime has succeeded in destroying anything that could be called a democratic institution by civilized standards there are no institutions about sort of libya and they will have to make created from scratch correct the n.c.c. stresses the importance of establishing political harmony between those numerous groups will this issue be result fairly or the groups put aside old grudges or needs of. the libyans are apparently in a more favorable position compared to those who have gone through the complicated multi phased process of political restructuring or for them libya can use the

negative experience of afghanistan and iraq it can draw conclusions from the hard times egypt has survived and the less hard but still bloody post of two newseum i think the best way to accomplish this is to act responsibly. right from the serbs to bear in mind that the final decision on what libya is going to become is one for the libyan people to make not the world's politicians who've been playing little parts recently a national democratic vote will determine your lives and it should be well prepared and duly carried out this is where the international community and russia in particular is eager to render active support to the libyans those who think that the notion of russian arab friendship is a great event of passing away with the totalitarian regimes of dictatorships are brutally mistaken nothing of the kind i believe that the term of russian or of friendship and partnership is as up to date as it was fifty years ago but the. second there is talk about the role russia could play in libya's politics economy and perhaps some other spheres the all cooperation between libya and the u.s.s.r.

and a new partnership between libya and russia. the first step russia took as libya's partner was to deliver humanitarian aid into the country during the military phase of the political conflict we had talks with the leaders of the national transitional council in benghazi and agreed that the interests of russia would be respected in libya after gadhafi was toppled and all contracts with russia would be preserved and the interests of russian companies respected if you were going to continue our active work in abia back in there will come heavy that. according to earlier statements by the national transitional council the new government will respect contracts concluded with the russian federation but we also hear other statements like the one made by one of the new heads of the libyan oil company he touted russia's position during the voting on security council resolution one thousand seven three saying that russia was more demanding than it should have been and that it was more reluctant to show its support for the opposition there's

a possibility he added that some deals concluded with russian oil companies operating in libya will be an old. i mean whether that was a brain if the biggest oil field workers on the boards of a national oil company are in the first place professionals and not politicians at the top sending my counterparts expressed their gratitude to russia for not torpedo for not vetoing resolution one nine seven three political be coerced this stance of the russian federation was highly appreciated by the national transitional council that's what matters russia has never silenced its commitment to resolutions nine hundred seventy and one hundred seventy three and of the russian president signed a number of decrees in support of those two resolutions but decrees clearly state that russia will never give refuge either to gadhafi or to his family or to immediate subordinates whose hands are so from the blood of ordinary libyans we will never support him or the forces loyal to him financially or supply them with

weapons and we have stuck to our commitments in full measure. by the west was consistent in supporting the revolutionaries whereas russia as one could say chose to stay away from libyan affairs when the fighting began naturally western companies with interests in libya will pursue those interests possibly using the n t c to compete with russian companies the new libyan authorities in turn may choose to work with them rather and russian companies than the. i hope you will excuse my question but what are revolutions made for them to gain access to oil and the money to be made from it hardly so i heard the revolutionaries in benghazi say and i highly respect these words that revolutions perceive the goal of making the people's living conditions decent not on land normal at least not miserable as it used to be is to let people realize they are human and deserve to live as such if

a country wanted people to live in human conditions it should maintain the balance of its political and economic interests but i have been traveling a lot in africa as a special representative. of the russian president and i constantly hear african leaders complaining they're tired of one country's dominance one blocks dominance and they tell me they need a multi-polar political situation a combination of different interests the same is true for libya it won't be able to keep in line with the interests of just the european union just the united states or the states of the persian gulf and russia will always have its place and to some variant of multicolor picture i think those libyan politicians who will respect the national interest of the country will without doubt consider your cooperation with russia. is our.

enemy. is. to. issues. are going to take three. three. three. three. three.

three blow video for your media project a free media dog archie john tom. moscow recognizes libya's transitional council as a functioning libyan as the wording in the statement russia's foreign minister emphasized moscow has long called for gadhafi to go but says nato is approached to bring them down violates international law. divisions within media resonate in could obvious family as one of his sons ballasted a fan a cold stronghold of syria. that's slowly after his brother reportedly offers talks to him and the bloodshed. and russia remembers the victims of the school massacre that shook the country and the whole world seven years ago chechen terrorists kept more than one thousand people hostage in the cvs dead last for three days left over three hundred people dead most of them children. because they have lines i'll be

made the final here last year but made hard work of this one after winning the first seven five she then lost the second to the cranium six three before taking the deciding set by the same scoreline the russian hoping to improve her game in round three. there was a good test. for a long time meaning you know she was a dangerous players are expected to very tough match then it was i think i didn't play my best. to go to get through this one and you know i give myself a lot of chance to go. next time i'm trying to do. well another two russians joy is here in next round i need to try over. the twenty four and twenty five seeds both with ease and straight sets queens shock exits there is that eight seed marion bartoli and fourteen seed dominique if you bought over venus williams pulled out with illness along with the men succeed robin sidling up to throw his next opponent

stopped four hundred ninety five in the world after a long layoff it is trying his way back to number eighty and it's looking like a contender. elsewhere time favorite andy roddick held on to beat fellow american model russell roddick had taken the first two sets of that any problems but then wobbled a bit to lose the four scrapping to take to the side at seven five. but will now russia all hoping to win form plays could help unlock the defenses in the coming year i qualifies mcfeely good as your coffin striker alexander because you cough have put in some sparkling performances in the russian prime elite recently and coach dick advocaat believes they'll be cagey in the home ties against macedonia and ireland constantine patrol has been following the sides preparations in moscow. this is the second training session ahead of the first qualifier. here at the stadium the last time the immense russia squeezed one new victory and

this time. hopes his side will be more creative particularly with midfielder. finding form again since his recent move from chelsea. said i was really happy to. came back to russia to play. richie again because you can see the way he played last saturday was for his own g. so and is very important for the national team because i still think that everybody russia wants that we will go to poland. and we really need a very fit and motivated so in that way. i think the crowd has realized that the russian guy the russian player well they will need him because russia have only scored six times in the last six games but main striker alexander could record his problem his shooting boots from the top scoring the russian premier league with thirteen goal so four and he also scored a hat trick last week or so there is growing hope russia could be more from the

second force on friday night we have to do it because we did it in the away games as well. but we look to go into a coming of no different games because we have to in a real team just the winners will so but we have to hopefully go my friend so we know that we have to give this six points you can't underestimate the importance of friday's game and the one against ireland four days later the true reason booth should top of group b. and with only the group winners guaranteed of a place next summer's finals a look at his status six points will do the same but out of. moscow. wells and he keep it just a fear will replace russia's injured first choice people eager ak in fear for the games while at club to scar are brought in angie's valley gabble of on loan as replacement i got all of our new ride angie on change they are being bought from the now moscow but has been told to pack his bags again to help the young man is

a game in the group against belgium there and sylvania got the better of old harry . now the news the rugby world cup starts in just over a week and russia are preparing to make their maiden appearance against the usa in new plymouth on september the fifteenth which upon poor fate course that will fly half you agree question out of the talks about what it means to qualify for the tournament the first time. you would be always going to be feeling the pressure move a moost when russia played our opening match will count against you or see on september the twenty six year old is expected to mine up in a crucial strong hard position which means he's good teams play me and number ten the russians will be underdogs who can't wait for the action to get underway. with . great opportunities for players so. they may resent russia where it's a three star more russian word for world golf being

a good experience for. the all comes from a rugby family as the sponsor used to play for the soviet union when he was born in the time of the sport is firmly number one. and he's managed to follow his dance footsteps and is now one of the most experienced members of the russian squad. will face usain eternally ireland and australia because now the all is under no illusions i just want a tough task his team faces. first. you say they will give us these will. just enjoy the flavor is just. talk what players made. cooper on the island. just this place they will try to do the best rugby of a growing still isn't really very popular in russia and your emails sions and most of the teams interview requests have come from foreign journalists however a man from a moscow region hopes

a good showing in new zealand can boost interest in the game in his country and the russian. some some magazines make it for show some of them but not truly interested for a week maybe going to be where they where. did the games in seven similar wars and many government books was much more. the old as a verse time player complained he'd fly half a fullback and he's likely to be a key player for the bears in new zealand and he like the rest of russian squads will be continuing their rugby learning curve on the tournament finally starts richard humble three county newport wales. and finally it was a feast of hockey talent on the ice in moscow last night washington capitals captain alexander ovechkin and new jersey devils in the lead two teens packed with celebrities it was a charity game that raised a the half a million dollars for a russian orphanage the line of think leader of russia is full of tennis and the

one i have sat in as well is the connective moscow football iterated sinchon i think actually showed a couple of times are tough in the penalty and of. for the life of all of education that added a fair few as well it ended like all the capital gains and high scoring for all eleven think the final still up in the key arena that the spectators enjoyed every moment but the main purpose was to raise money for like all finish. line children. it's good that there are still many people here it's a big thing to make something good for the children and at least to some point to relieve their problems so i think it is a teaching of every person and i was happy to respond as i've been to actually i was surprised to see more out so i can skating there are many people here that i'm not that good at skating but that's not the point the main think. is for the children and i would fully support to do this every year. right i think that's the
