instance in egypt or libya i would say definitely much much better of course a very direct comparison says the danger of pain but let me first say that the overall concept the feeling of the necessity to preserve culture. of course it's an old one but at the same time it has the need to have you know reading and meaning so i believe we are very successful on the whole of course you mentioned something also very important. unfortunately you know we see conflicts we see internal. we see wars and very often. such monuments we are on the world carried to kill east or even important monuments which are not exactly on the world heritage are being affected by the destroyed for ten meters or there are some disputes and of course it's

only deplorable that this is happening in our case we really want to accentuate alleviate just because it's on everybody's mind right now do you know if you ask the sides there has been damaged or bombed from the very first day and precise this after the conflict i have raunch that peel's to all the involved. i have spoken but . then the attorney told i could spoken also to the to believe me and so i have appealed to believe in people. to preserve this monument now after the bye called me one tenth of the conflict would be saying the commission fair but there is another aspect also means to train such cases which i think is important and apart from that meeting among humans. as an aftermath of of such a conflict it's another tendencies emerging and another i would say very unfortunate

it's mostly i will get to that later but i really want to ask you. after something like this happens one joined a call flaked cultural heritage is destroyed or damaged so you want to answer for that is anyone persecuted for that afterwards i could say that situations have very different and. i see trade for example in some of the african countries affected by conflict and let me take could give you another example of a similar case but rather from from of the my stick point of view of domestic social strife or civil war in fact and this is the democratic republic of congo where we have four they troll parts which i described from the world heritage listing in fact they represent an incredible important old sole. means of securing a viably a great city and players who are trolling the climate change. there even after

and i'm talking particularly of the view i'm going to park which is seeing the east part of the country where most of the violence and civil war was waged against the now i hold the situation is of course improving and we should be in the pealing care for a long time for the government when i say we. i mean the world heritage committee and also me is that the general to the government will take concrete measures and i'll find that he does change very together with the prime minister at the very bottom compromise here. we draft the joint plan for preserving safeguarding of this important part of the goal the concrete measures of of doing decreasing violence or for. educating some of the warriors who are there participating combat educating them in giving them the feeling that

preserving its very full for peace for their own interests to train interests to reintegrate them in society it's a very complex issue that's why i say that to situations have deeper and i don't think you want us going general always appeals to protect the cultural heritage different countries but just organization actually has to mean its or the arsenal to do it to protect it we don't have we have not because we don't have a good casks or something like that but in very many cases so similar cases and in this particular i let me just mention haiti because it's a different there but it's once again a natural disaster people ready worse effect on the world heritage sure we work with the partners that are on the field and who are in fact in trust that we'd be practical day to day i would say business of prosecuting. the order and the record structure in the particular country you've mentioned another

huge problem which is smuggling antiquities now some estimates have it that the turnover from smuggling antiquities is almost as big as track trafficking human trafficking and arson arms sales is that really the case if you're entirely right that the trafficking good for objects of our approach of the nowadays equals the traffic you with human beings. drax and it's a very alarming. tendency a situation that we're seeing all over the world. and that's why we are very much committed per tool strengthening international cooperation through the one nine hundred seventy in the school convention on the prohibiting the ability of the trafficking of cultural objects it's important to secure more ratifications to this convention nowadays we have more than one hundred twenty countries that have adhere to this convention and there are positive tendencies in the international cooperation these last two years some of the countries that were present the

biggest markets open or cultural objects like belgium and the never once i have read to fight the convention literally a year ago we are cooperating with the. new also phenomenon with some of the fallacies i personally visited recently the headquarters of hobbyists for christie's and we decided to start the corporation in terms of capacity building of sense of st sensitizing the public opinion all the stakeholders we worked with the of course with the interpol the international customs union and i believe that encouraging the international cooperation of other countries by concrete examples of returning said objects of. i think fall so personally assisted a very moving ceremony when kennedy returned to my country of origin go get it

twenty one thousand objects illicitly exported from the country to canada and this return this corporation was based on ninety seventy and ask a question there was no other legal rare for doing it well you've said that major auction houses have been very responsive to your appeal the question remains who are the smugglers and where. those people who buy those objects well i mean the smugglers are already the same so are the say smuggler said i bring the smuggling of arms for the for human beings and otherwise unfortunately all the illegal trafficking is the most i would say called allies stand but there are always people on both sides of all this who are doing that but the important thing is for the countries. of origin to have the means and the only and the capacity to curb this smuggling and on the other site also the ethics of the moral

norms also all of the different partner has to do it a lot to do it in fact we have done that we have. drafted a called the very fix for the trip for. a trade for cultural goods i think this is very important that it's taken on board by all the different and then of course the national legislation to have the respective. introduction of norms international legislations sold that then such smugglers supper security impunity in this case is a very bad signal if you think there's a connection between arms sales to king and smuggling antiquities well. i think yes we have read legacies in the reports and of course because these are big money as you said and. very valuable things and as long as there is

such an interest in that that there might be only yes what do you think is the money from sales use for it clearly used to finance me or worse for instance yes i mean like all the legal smuggling it's corruption. of course it's also a conflict it's it's horse it's all different kinds of really good q.b. tastes but what is most important is the. deprives the whole country of their heritage it deprives people of put their identity. after all day from their identity and it has i would say a long term perspective on the feelings and culture in these countries you can throw away you can burn trucks you can throw away weapons somewhere which you can't read and what is lost in terms of of heritage and of culture you can then find

a substitute to buy something for these countries thank you very much for this interview thank you also for this interest. well when one deals with water a customer realize that this tremendous amounts of damage that are done not just human damage but damage the physical environment in which the battlefield takes place tremendous amounts of damage done by aerial bombs by napalm boy chemical sims whether it's hard to solve the problems of factory marine mammals or it's the burning oil field syria and iraq or a good story across the pacific for a landing purposes to list just goes on and on the geneva conventions of nineteen forty nine states that carry shall be taken in war zones to protect funds by

italians nelson which surround an hour and a half from their training camp. training there we're not you know heard till they're in much because our schedule is packed and we're travelling to different town for our games so a sporting director trying to his best to help us relax we go to the beach or to a shooting range to release the tension and. the russians would receive quite a welcome when they finally took to the training pitch around three hundred local fans many of whom have adopted russia as their second team in the tournament turned out to see the best practice which is more spectators and attend some russian. league matches this support certainly rubbed off on the players who were delighted at the turn it's. part of the world cup in new zealand is really something out of the ordinary. new here rugby scheme here it's long been part of the culture so every kid in the street cheers even for the underdog teams that's just great.

grand prix in spain and hopes had been high for a local poll says there are plenty of pros and reigning champ you will get enzo had dominated friday straight is but nothing could stop stoner in these tracks not even a minor crash at repsol honda man set a new lab rat called qualifying head of teammate patrol base there. and finally efforts are being made to ensure the junior hockey club will cut returns to the russian city next year on the all star squad from the american eastern junior hockey is one taking that he's came to attend to siberia from unkosher after reports. before coming to russia for the inaugural junior club world cup these guys had never experienced international i saw there were eight teams from just as many countries and the tournaments with e.j. h.e.l. all star squad representing the united states you know hockey is one of the few

sports there is is truly worldwide and in a sport that. the united states does not dominate in which most of our professional sports are majority american born players but hockey is one where the have to compete with players from all over the world so for have them have the experience to come in and see how they match up against some of the best around the world as is outstanding well the russian fans were dreaming of a final that would involve their team against the canadians then merican select their own agenda as are willing to games against teams from latvia and slovakia the juniors from the states found themselves to be among the favorites to reach the final run them over three on the russians for a lot of reading on russia. i think we feel pretty good about what we're doing right now we are concerned earlier where we are. starting to come together the boys are starting to gel you know we're getting better every theory and so we're

looking forward to friday night saturday in their way of the final on friday was the red army title holders of the n.h.l. which is a european junior league originally founded in russia that now encompasses six countries that sounds true to be a near impossible affair for the visitors. and there were at least a couple of reasons for that firstly the russians were a bi fuller more experienced on the international scene with scenes role soboth think a couple of hundred twenty world champions and secondly the local site had a huge advantage with nine thousand fans cheering on the red army our guys never played in front of the crowd like that let alone a crowd that was certainly not on our side which is awesome you know it's a again it's not like i'm just saying every day this was an experience that our guys will never forget and they certainly won't know the russia us decider ended in favor of the home see which went on to win the insights are intimate though the

americans fail to go all the way they and the rest of the visiting clubs gains invaluable experience here in siberia and succeeding and we're going to see him teams all year long straight out here. i never quite an experience for me personally and i was going to stick my. foot and i will be writing the i.i.h.f. i when i returned back to the states to let them know that myself and usa hockey would be tremendous supporters of this event continuing to go and certainly one very my heart if it was here and almost every year because we've just had an unbelievable time well hopefully the international i still consideration will soon find a permanent place on its counter for the c.u. events and more countries will join but for now say be a is gearing up to host the next junior ice hockey club world cup ramon calls for an artsy homes. and then not that said oh it's cool for the moment smaller.
