senate sammy. the russian president's special envoy and chairman of the federation council's foreign affairs committee. 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. our approach has never been to wait and see ever since the world leaders approached president medvedev and de ville 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 that slogans pass away and

a tedious political process sets in so we're just doing our best to help start as quiet a political process as soon as possible. but when did the broncos the opposition give up the idea of negotiating with colonel gadhafi or his team. as regards differences within the n t c i have 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 at the feet and libya's national transitional council will still have to negotiate towards a national union after the fighting in. russia and the g eight in

favor of the 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 would airstrikes of unarmed civilians who were running into express political protest we stopped for guarding 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 path i believe and say a suicidal person 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 or it could be another country regardless of this the position he chose is not one of a politician who thinks about the future it's the position of

a politician who is trying to save his own life if mr gadhafi years on the run people will look for him and they will find him the fact is a warrant for mr gadhafi is arrest has been issued by the international criminal court it would be revoked. but. really 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 of daffy's regime. i think this government will only be successful if it encompasses 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 factions of the ruling elite in cairo led by mr gadhafi is cousin head off who spoke strongly against mr gadhafi is policy of suppressing popular

protests by force they would also have to deal with the various factions within me and t.c. 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 there are also representatives of the intelligentsia and cultural 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 be created from scratch corrects the n.c.c. stresses the importance of establishing political harmony between those nearest groups will this issue be results fairly well the groups put aside old grudges or leave. the libyans are apparently in a more favorable position compared to those who had gone through the complicated

multi phased process of political destructuring before 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 tunisia i think the best way to accomplish this is to act responsibly right from the start of to bear in mind that the final decision on what libya is going to become is one for the libyan people to make not for worlds politicians who've been playing leading parts we simply a national democratic vote want to target us and it should be well prepared and julie 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 outdated and of passing away with the totalitarian regimes of dictatorships brutally mistake and nothing of the code i believe that the term of russian arab friendship and partnership is up to date as it was fifteen years ago that the. us talk about the role russia could

play in libya's politics economy and perhaps some other spheres the old cooperation between libya and the u.s.s.r. and. a partnership between libya and russia. the first step russia took as libya's partner was to deliver humanitarian aid to the country during the military phase of the political conflict and 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 we're going to continue our active work it would be a. heavy. let's 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 doubted russia's position during the voting on

security council resolution one ninety 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. army weapon that was every if they. all field workers on the boards of the national oil company are in the first place professionals and not politicians at the talks in benghazi my counterparts expressed their gratitude to russia a notch torpedo of the not vetoing resolution one nine seven three political at the post 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 one hundred seventy and nineteen seventy three and the russian president signed a number of decrees in support of those two resolutions decrees clearly state that russia will never give refuge either to gadhafi or to his family or to immediate

support of those whose hands are so in the blood of ordinary libyans we will never support all the forces loyal to him financially or supply them with weapons and we have stuck to our. in full measure. and that 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.c.c. to compete with russian companies the new libyan authorities in turn may choose to work with them rather and russian companies. i hope you will excuse my question but what are revolutions made for you 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 the revolutions perceive the goal of making the people's living conditions decent and normal at least not miserable as it used to be is to let people realize they are

human and deserve to live a search if a country wants its 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 are tired of one country's dominance one blocks dominance 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 state of the persian gulf and russia will always have a place in this very of multicolor picture i think those libyan politicians who will respect the national interest of my country will without doubt consider cooperation with russia.

no the algerian i.q. sixty six i got up because of things a sign. other things i was doing and this is the reason he said we were given for there were no there was a personal protest. during the vietnam war an antiwar movement emerged that altered the course of history this movement didn't take place on college campuses but in berets and on ships it's penetrated elite military colleges like west point and it spread throughout the battlefields of vietnam it's a day few people know about the jihad movement against the war in vietnam. asked the army and we always said free the army or fun travel and adventure but it really meant the arms. of this nation and discover its buzy.

and russia could go top of group b. on friday if they win at home to macedonia and other results go their way they can because side are one of three teams mughal at the summit on thirteen points and will be looking for the maximum return against their opponents who have no chance of reaching that she is finals richard brown reports. friday will be to start a vital double header for the russians as they look towards and actually qualify for next year's finals in poland and ukraine because they can't side face the republic of ireland next choose the but first open macedonia the russian managed to beat one nil in the last encounter in scope here not sober. things certainly won't be easy. probably the same as the first go. there for a lot of those into. the first going so we have to wait and see russia will be without first choice keeper ego i can think of is going to have to spend a long time on the sidelines of injuring his knee ligaments just one more thing if will replace a serious car number one and he actually saved

a penalty the last time he played against macedonia almost four years ago at the cannibal be forced to pay a very salty brothers in the center of defense as even a share which is suspended on a sixty three year old says it is to strike a golden pond of poses a particular freights it was the most dangerous is his bond. i mean we. are going to do so and so we're thinking over the other cats made decision will be who partners under your charge in the tank well known publishing co and probably believe me i haven't had much came time for their clubs recently alexander has recalled certainly has he's not of thirteen goals as you need to season including how to get his last game and he could well win a place in the starting line up was going to be huge next few days the russian national team as they look trying to qualify for euro two thousand and twelve championships in poland ukraine first up is macedonia only three points were due for pick up the car side which d'arcy. well our business has only one have held the

final training session or heard of fridays and turn to our head coach is a case of trying to learn the names of his players and so being charge of the team for three days macedonia only have one winning seat. i mean i was a fan dora and i as a contention in that way to reach the finals in poland and ukraine and it's a shock you came up against the russians twice with his film a star in wales it would be a strange feeling knowing its opponents but i think something. when i was with ways we played the russians twice a call when visiting was in charge and looking at the russian squad no other mr hill very much involved there apart from pan baffin we don't know too much about the macedonian side at all but i had three days training with him it's a lot not a lot but obviously i know them a lot better now than i did when we can go on into camp one that i'm under physical main danger so it's really well i think time difference played into milan is

obviously the one player that universally is known but we have two or three young players you know. will be playing one of them in champions league this year one of them in europe will league and another strike in poland that to look at so hopefully in the future the people will know more than and then just stand there i mean if you came away from the points on friday night with a difference as a result you dance well we have to you know we fall games to play if we win the four of them we can qualify we're not in a good position but what we have to try and do i think is to go out and try to win each game you know. we need to try and get the winning mentality into these places soon as possible but i have to say a very very difficult place to start is this russian team better than one you played wales stories are. similar and i think similar i was surprised to see that they didn't qualify for the last tournament the last european championships surprised me that they didn't qualify i'd like to take this

opportunity wishing the goalkeeper a speedy recovery as well i can for as a simple keeper nobody likes to see any player suffer an injury like that so hopefully will be back soon but no i think the russians are always difficult opposition. russia will always be difficult. for anybody and they should really always be afraid but still qualify i think and you know sheldon despite his platform recently to be still dangerous vigo it's very much a danger. if we called always to settle in a foreign country but i think his played some very very good games for some people thought that maybe. not totally satisfied with him he's on the bench a lot but i've seen him perform really well for arsenal as well. he's a difficult opponent it's ok. that's playing with google and lot of european transfer window close late on wednesday italian fans in some alarm have officially unveiled their big summer signing like

walks of life were in abundance on the ice of this a cold karina in the russian capital and it was washington capitals skipper alexander ovechkin and his new jersey devils frenemy. the headlines the charity band and these people two star studded sides the hand-picked celebrity teams got together for a second straight here to try and help underprivileged children this time they skated for an orphanage for deaf and blind kids just outside moscow now. i think games like this are important for everyone and it's not about our preparation for the season it's about helping the kids so the people have achieved something in life can help those in need the more matches like this we stage the better because you don't really play to get a result when your aim is a noble cause but on the other hand there's hardly ever a shortage of goals and this talk is practically lived up to every expectation of the capacity crowds eleven always the way finished with a vision and

a top scorer this game was also a comeback of sorts for a good malcolm penguins center was on his first outing since the surgery back in february and was impressed by his teammates there's a good bit of what alexander ovechkin isn't there a form after all his scored four goals and that all the guys are doing great and zander i do love you guys shared of just to name a few so i wish all of them a good new season true to the spirit of the event the kids to center stage the young guns replacing the heroes in the goal for good measure is a child caused an uproar but put in the park beyond a seven year old boy but apologized after wards have a very strained argument dean stole the show as the organizers raise and. they could have imagined just over half a million dollars and the place promised to become well personally involved never we haven't yet been to that all finished but i've seen now by the sights and i think we'll go there next gen because

a lot of play is leaving quite soon and that can is leaving tomorrow i'll be off in a week so we can't go there now but i've talked to the people in charge of the orphanage and we've arranged for us to come and see the kids next time. so regardless of the school everyone was a week after i saw the extravaganza with pleasant officials alike hoping they'll be even more of them to come here older trophy. that's all this.
