sometimes. margetts weiner scandal. when you know what's really happening to the global economy is a report on our. past the hour here in the russian capital this is our team your headlines now police fired tear gas at demonstrators in athens as the nation is brought to a standstill by a nationwide strike state services have been paralyzed after thousands of civil servants walked off the jobs in protest a new social austerity cuts. russia and china blocked the un resolution against syria which did have european backing moscow says the targeting of damascus is based on confrontation and not the push from. thousands across the u.s.

to voice their anger at corporate money and its influence on the government this is a time of soaring unemployment level union so now joined the chorus of disapproval . those are the headlines for you right now the north caucuses remains russia's most volatile region with terror attacks happening almost every day corruption and a poor quality of life often blamed for causing violence next we talked to the president's special envoy to the north caucuses about how the situation in the region is being improved. mystical planning thank you so much for being with us today thank you president david said that one of the key problems many countries including russia face to die

if interest in canton and criminality and the new russian dissociate at the root of the youth communism of the kook face you were entrusted to think of by what can we do about it. so it works i strongly object to your putting it this way that the caucus is the epicenter of ethnic crime unfortunately and it has repeatedly been stressed crime has no national identity i would support those of the opinion that the criminal group in question is of no particular ethnic origin is another important issue we have to tackle today is migration migration unfortunately or perhaps on the contrary locally is an economic process strictly speaking modern russia has two major centers today moscow and st petersburg perhaps another two or three cities and nominations that abound in competitive business opportunities jobs and everything related to this these centers attract people from the republics of the north caucasus siberia and the far east stimulating migration towards big cities this is the first issue and i repeat it is of purely economic nature but the

same can also be said of education today the most popular and prestigious higher educational institutions are the universities of moscow and st petersburg therefore it is only natural that young people are eager to enter these universities above all others we should focus on the issue and take all the necessary steps at government level to provide for similar competitive educational facilities in the north caucasus and many other russian cities if we want to develop our vast country another really great problem is the unrestrained inflow of cheap labor from the former soviet union this is as you. problem today is we are getting a cheap and uncontrolled workforce that is not always civilized and cultures cannot always adapt to living in the capital and other big cities we should concentrate on this problem. i have to interconnected questions for you the first one is about the outflow of the russian speaking population from the north cork they've in fact it's not only students that migrates to the big city but also all types of common

citizens but can't compare this process to that of siberia or the far east because unlike these regions they cook if it has to do with f one cultural installation as a result of internal russian migration it could eventually split the country what can be done to reintegrate its population back into the north cork this. let's look at his problem from another angle who benefits from the migration of the russian speaking population if you think the republic of dagestan where the chechen republic or any other constituent entity benefits from it you are fundamentally wrong they need a russian speaking population like bread or air because the russian language is the link between various nationalities co-existing in the north caucasus so there is another thing here you know the notion of population mobility and the russian speaking population is far more mobile than the caucasians who are more devoted to their homes and roots their land and traditions the state should deal with this by creating new competitive jobs we believe that the state of elephant program for the

north caucasus should focus on creating conditions that would facilitate an inflow of russian speakers into the region is in our immediate interest to work on this and what is particularly encouraging republics are interested in creating such conditions to. fall in august a high ranking french delegation visited the north caucuses and announced their decision to invest configurable funds in developing two reasons that result in building a cluster of two or three disconnected from the rest of the region where many of the rate and lawlessness still persist are you saying that there will be a zone where a lot. an order will be installed and chaos and misery everywhere outside that zone i'm asking you this is an audio with possible. of course not i want you to understand that we are not reinventing the wheel here we are not inventing constructions that have never been heard of it is perfectly obvious that unless the local population is integrated into the tourism cluster development process all our attempts to build ski lifts and by star hotels will inevitably fall flat if we

disenfranchise the indigenous population the local population must be involved in all of these developments for how do we do that first of all we must go out of what i call the starship troopers well that's up to ten thousand young people who will be employed in the tourism and service sector because these people must be local and live in the areas where these mountain skiing clusters will be developed seconds from any residential areas located around those skiing clusters we are going to select young people teach them and do our best to help them set up small and medium businesses sometimes with the help of the state they may open small hotels for tourists we want people to be able to make money if people feel involved and integrated in this process i see no problems at all austria had the same experience a while back austria's vice chancellor said at a conference that there were also explosions in austria while infrastructure was being built the local population he said was also terribly upset until authorities managed to involve locals in what was going on before the project telling her great

difficulty. to the point and you thought that he thought so many investments people and even stated pre-show spiteri to ensure gun safety and the back money later of used to finance terrorist attacks what can be done about got an even steeper share of in civilian property paid terrorists. are good for first of all i would say it has to do with a certain lack of trust the business people have in the ability of federal authorities to protect them from criminal extortion networks recently active in the caucasus the situation however is. changing now we're working actively to explain to people that aiding and abetting terrorism is a crime just as destructive as terrorism itself and that any money given to terrorists can be seen as a crime equal to carrying out a terrorist attack today we have many cases of local citizens and business people cooperating with law enforcement the results are improving gradually but again this is a long process but i've talked to several leaders of move quick these republics and

their opinions differ some of them say negotiations with terrorists i'm necessary while i don't think that there is no talking to terrorists he think authorities must negotiate with terrorists. i believe there is nothing to negotiate with terrorists but we should talk and negotiate with parents of those children who have left for the woods and haven't committed any crimes yet if there is a chance to bring them back in the woods with the help of our religious leaders were their parents and families elders councils and any other social institutions we should be doing our utmost to take it and we should encourage those who report to us and inform on these people for those who are willing to lay down their arms and start living a peaceful life we should consolidate our efforts because once they take a gun and commit a crime there's nothing to talk to them about. how many terrorists operate throughout the north caucuses today. we like giving numbers but it's actually very difficult to make a difference between bandits and terrorists the overall number that i usually give

to media agencies for both small groups of five to six members of the large groups of twenty to thirty is up to one thousand people in all the north caucasus republics and the women we're aware of these gang leaders and we've been working thoroughly on their cases are well formed they funded one would then be conscious by out of country. was a. recent analysis shows the abroad domestic funding ratio is about ten to ninety the latter being russia they don't need to support of international organizations and other worldwide terror networks such as al-qaeda the money they extort from business representatives. confines of this actually means that it's not so much terrorism as banditry at the same time i want to stress again that there is indeed a funding inflow from western foundations charities and human rights organizations these funds are used among other things to finance radical religious literature and a number of branded leaders who exploit children for profit in the caucasus.

mystically point in many north coaxes residents go to muslim countries such as pakistan and saudi arabia to study by the time they return home what is this subtle line for down between their spiritual freedom and their realize ation that they're citizens of a circular state with worth. the great is warts and fortunately this line becomes blurred we are indeed facing this problem of your pencil recently we were unaware of the number of young people who travelled for religious education in saudi arabia pakistan egypt but a number of other countries having lived and studied for five years in a country like saudi arabia which is an absolutely non secular state a person returns to our country to secular authority institutions and laws and feels lost to me these realities for these people require a special approach and adaptation program in essence various countries have different ways of working on this matter for instance turkey and particularly azerbaijan have practically made

a decision on providing active adaptive work for these people until these people are really fully adopted to secular laws and to particular rules and principles of behavior until they are prepared to follow these laws they have no right to take any position in any state unit simple or regional structure nor to do business they have to go through a certain out of taishan system first unfortunately there is no legislative place for this it's a very complicated process it requires a lot of patience and tedious work on the part of families for example on relationships with parents we need to keep track of children who travel abroad to study as we can prohibit them from receiving religious education that's the same time we should certainly develop our religious institutes to train experts and examine studies in the north caucasus i believe a key aspect will be to establish a secular islamic institute through the north caucasus federal university or another regional institution for. credit for and that has been out that's about democracy and i thought it meant in our country and most people believe that sooner

or later we'll reach the buttons down democracy and cookies but centuries that have been in the kitchen which are very difficult to be able to that leave you think you should they tend to lean comprehend feet but to buy from mentality that is the take fifty m. islamic genea and particularly. does this kind of a society really need a western style democracy. i don't know what a western style democracy is the west itself has various kinds of democracy in the political interpretation of democracy everyone wants to impose their vision of democracy on other countries i'm totally against it i believe russia has its own form of democratic development for our republics i wouldn't dramatize the situation regarding the peculiarities of the north caucasus there is perhaps one significant difficulty which we should gradually give up if this is a certain activism which over the past twenty years was reimpose in the caucasus for some reason i'm talking about the fact that executive power structures of our

regions are being established according to his nick identity this is the most acute issue which subsequently brings up speculation about plans and corruptions of executive power but he should be stopped according to professional rather than ethnic principals has asked for ethnic features traditions culture and religion these aspects should be manifest in the parliaments or people should generate laws and reflect the diversity that exists in the republic and in the caucuses generally and it's disappointing thank you very much for this interview. please. lifts

cricket is the sport now including afghanistan but there is still no better place than russia to learn and you trick or to. somebody is the same back in again this time as it is here in russia but unfortunately we don't have such good conditions at home if we had similar equipment we would produce results which are just as good as is often the case with meetings like these competition was not the only goal well a bit of attention doesn't do any sport any harm but with all become some medals handed out bridging the cultural gap was the rather important message as the organizers revealed. this was not only about school but also about cultural exchange or have been guests not only wrestled but also deserted the kremlin and central moscow so we hope they will have happy memories of this trip for the rest of their lives. the small tournament dubbed together we're stronger has been deemed as a local success and hopes are high it could become the first event of many which will
