breakaway cost of reach a boiling point as disputed border posts are seized by process forces local serbs set up barricades agri up the deployment of possible customs officials on the frontier which was previously under serbian control. and when times are hard heritage is in peril next the un said of protecting the world's historical sites and relics tells r t why social of people is threatening some of our most valuable sites. you know bocal the you know secretary general it's really great to have you with us and i don't know over two centuries ago george byron reflected and asked and saluting you would think that two centuries later in twenty first centuries because

we think we're more civilized things are better but are they really better for instance in egypt or libya i would say definitely much much better of course a very they're at the comparison says the danger of pain but let me first say that the overall concept the feeling of the necessity to preserve the chimp culture. of course it's an old one but at the same time we have 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. very important from their approach in the plea we see conflicts we see internal try. we see a war and very often. such monuments which are on the will carry least or even import the monuments we try not to see it on the world here if you are being affected by the destroyed or damaged or there are some disputes and of

course it's only deplorable that this is happening now or to really want to accentuate a libya just because it's on everybody's mind right now do you know this for us because sites there have been damaged or bombed from the very first day man for size this side of the conflict i have raunch appeals to all the involved parties. i have spoken. then that to nato i can spoken also to be to believe me and so i have appealed to the libyan people. to preserve this monument. to the i mean one tenth of the conflict we will be sending commissions there but there is another aspect also been said in such cases which i think is important apart from damaging monuments. as an aftermath of of such

a conflict it's another tendencies emerging and another i would say very unfortunate it's maddening 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 does anyone answer for that is anyone persecuted for that afterwards i came to say that situations have very different. situations for example in some of the african countries affected by conflict and let me take give you another example of a similar case but rather from of domestic point of view of domestic social strife or civil war in fact and this is the democratic republic of congo where we have for their children parks which i described on the world heritage list and in fact they represent an incredible important goal sole. means of securing

a biodiversity and players who are trolling the climate change. they're even after and i'm talking particularly of the view i'm going to park early to see in the east part of the country where most of the violence and civil war was waged in the now i hold the situation is of course improving and we could be in the pealing for a long time to the government when they say we. i mean the world heritage committee and also me is there at the general to the government to take concrete measures to now find these cheney already together with the prime minister at the very bottom. we drafted to draw and plan for preserving of safeguarding of this important them park with all the concrete measures of doing decreasing by one step for. educating some of the warriors who are there participating combat

educating them and giving them the feeling that preserving it's very important the peace for their own interests to try to interest to reintegrate them in society it's a very complex issue that's why i say that to situations have deeper and i know that you and you know it's going general always appealed 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 book costs or something like that but in very many cases similar cases and indiscipline let me just mention haiti because it's a different there but it's once again a natural disaster to be pretty worse effect on the world heritage we work with the partners that are on the few who are in fact in trusted we'd be practical day to day i would say business of per securing. the

order and the record structure in the particular country you've mentioned another huge problem which is smuggling them to quit is 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 you're entirely right that the trafficking there for objects of. approaching the thing i would say sequels of the traffic you put him in being so. drax and it's a very alarming new tendency a situation that we're seeing all over the world. and that's why we are very much committed to tool strengthening international cooperation through the one nine hundred seventy and the school convention on the prohibiting the ability the trafficking of cultural objects it's important to secure more education to this convention nowadays we have more than one hundred twenty countries that have it here to this convention and there are positive tendencies in the international

corporation these last two years some of the countries that represent the biggest markets open or cultural objects like belgium and the netherlands so i have read the fight to the convention literally a year ago we are cooperating with the. new also phenomenon with some of the because. i personally visited recently the headquarters of. christie's and we decided to start the corporation in terms of capacity building of sense of say a sensitizing the public opinion all the stakeholders we work with the of course we've been there probably be international customs union and i believe that encouraging the international cooperation of of countries by concrete examples of returning such objects of. i have also personally assisted

a very moving ceremony when kennedy returned to my country of origin by a good twenty one thousand objects exported from the country to can the debt and this return this corporation was based on ninety seven to mescal convention there was no other legal way of for doing get out that major auction houses have been very responsive to your appeal question remains who are the smugglers and where. those people who buy those objects well i mean the smugglers are. just saying so out this a smuggler said are doing the smuggling of arms. for human beings and otherwise unfortunately all the illegal trafficking is the most i would say call but i stand there always people on both sides of the wall there who are doing that but the important thing is called the countries. of origin have the means and the knowledge and the capacity to curb this smuggling in on the other side

also ethics to have the moral norms also all of the different parts to do it and not to do it in fact we have done that we have. drafted a called the very fix. for the a trade that 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 registration to have the respective. interaction of norms international legislations sold that then such smugglers have prosecuted impunity in this case is a very bad signal to think there is a connection between arms sales drug seeking and smuggling antiquities well. i think yes we have read legacies and the reports and of course because these are a 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 could be used to finance new wars for instance yes i mean like all the to go out there smuggling it's corruption. of course it's also a conflict it's it's horse it's all different kinds of illegal activities but what is most important is the. deprives whole country of their heritage it deprives people of for their identity. after all they they they have robbed from their identity need i would say a long term perspective on the feelings and culture in these countries so you can throw away. tracks you can throw away weapons somewhere but you can't return and what is lost in terms of the carried kitchen of culture you can

then find to substitute to buy something for these countries thank you very much for this interview thank you also for this interest. like millions of americans i've lost thousands of dollars in retirement funds and i haven't had as bad as many it's not just about this it's about me to. me man brown the. machine. shop. and. the same. need. but now. since

sports that 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 they have to compete with players from all over the world so for have them have the experience to the common and see how they match up against some of the best around the world is outstanding well the russian fans were dreaming of a final that would involve their team against the canadians then american select had their own agenda asser winning two 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 are a lot of strain on russia. i think we feel pretty good about what we're doing right now our concern earlier where we were we are a team it's starting to come together the boys are starting to gel you know we're getting better every period so we're looking forward to friday night sanjay in

siberia it's exciting and we're going to seem teams all year long it's great you know here in a place and it's national i've never played in history experience for me personally you know i guess that's why it's so relaxing for you and i will be writing the i.i.h.f. when i return back to the states to i let them know that myself and usa hockey would be tremendous supporters of this event continuing to go on and certainly one very my heart if it was here and all discover here because we've just had an unbelievable time well hopefully the international ice hockey federation will soon find a permanent place when it's counted for the c.q. events and more countries will join but for now siberia is gearing up to host the next junior ice hockey club world cup room on call for an r.c. homes. and that's all the sports news i think.
