it's all influential rebel backers prepared to lower the acts of new sanctions on. the uk the international trade agreement which sparked mass protests was a setback in the european parliament as a key sounds the alarm over its threat to civil liberties. now today has seen the inauguration of the recently elected south as president to be a lot of the events we spoke to the new leader up next he shares his outlook for what awaits the young state in the upcoming years of his presidency. we're joined today by lee i need to be a lawyer he is the newly elected president of south a said he i mean credit on the rich mr to do you have thank you for finding time for r t. what would be your first start as president of the republic of south.

as the new president will start forming a new government during our presidential campaign we came up with a name for this new government will be a government of the people's trust so this will be our first step because the new government will have a lot to do something says he has basically been destroyed during the georgian aggression we need to rebuild everything we will work out an integrated approach to this rebuilding process. will he continue the policy of your predecessor all select and you. course. my predecessor works in different conditions we will continue the course chosen by our people its goal being prosperity for our people improving living standards we are at a new stage of our republic's development right now and we will act in accordance with the demands of this new stage. do you plan future work in cooperation with your opponent from the past elections maybe offer him

a position in your government. senate korea it was my opponent in the election is on the presidential staff will meet very soon and we have met before i think that his expertise and professionalism would be a great asset so we plan to work with him in the future as part of a new government of the people's trust so there is such a possibility yes there is a possibility of course. what in your opinion are the most important problems currently facing south. my meetings with my constituents showed that there were many problems south of setia was attacked by georgia several times it's damaged our economy greatly so we have many problems in the industrial and agricultural sectors as well as other areas we will work on solving these problems. russia has your experience in the security services useful for the successful implementation of the

functions of the head of state. i was part of the security services for many years we worked in cooperation with other law enforcement agencies through this cooperation i learned how other structures function the ministry of internal affairs the prosecutor's office that cetera so i have experience in this area also working for the security services i traveled all over south of setia and know basically all the people in the republic so my expertise will be very useful because. the election you won was not the first attempt to elect a president in southeast asia the previous election ended in scandal what is your version of those events what went wrong. i guess you're talking about the election that was supposed to take place last november it did take place but there were political and legal incidents that made the vote illegitimate the supreme court invalidated the results of that election so that we

failed to elect a president at a time i think that we could revisit this issue later and figure out why the election was invalidated. the secret of yours and even to the south a city is an independent state recognized but only a few countries aren't you fearful that you'll repeat the fate of the republic of northern cyprus which has for a few decades now settled into a state of isolation from the rest of the international community. not frightened by the northern cyprus president because in the first three years of its independence south the city it was recognized by several countries and first of all by such a great state as russia we're grateful to russia for it russia has always been the first one to come to our rescue i think that the countries that recognize our independence will be followed by others we will try to create a certain image of our republic so that other countries may get to know south a city had better and let's hope that we will not share northern cyprus is destiny

. on election day you spoke about your dream to unite south a city with a north which is we know is a member of the russian federation how do you foresee this happening. it is not just my dream it is the dream of our people we've had this dream for a century today we have an independent state but we have this dream for our people to reunite we have been split into two parts one part lives the north has said here the other part lives in south ossetia so we held a referendum the ninety ninety two where we asked one question do we want to become part of russia people answered yes to this question over ninety nine percent did so we still have this issue and this problem cannot be solved in a day we will work together with north the setia towards reuniting our people and this is the dream that i shared before. how the relationship between south osieck in georgia developed they still see the republicans part of their territory and did

not even recognize the legitimacy of a presidential election here. it is a mistake on georgia's part not to recognize the political process in south ossetia as legitimate that goes for the presidential election as well i believe georgia should recognize our republic as an independent state the first thing georgia needs to do however is to compensate for the damage it's been dealing to us since nine hundred eighty nine georgia has attempted to start a war with the south said here several times since then practically destroying it has a result georgia has not paid a penalty to compensate for that damage they're obliged to compensate for the damage they've inflicted suffield your relations with georgia a subject to negotiation you probably know that negotiations on that are underway in geneva. any you prediction statements he talk about restoring order in the country what do you mean by that and what can we expect from this or. yes the

rule of law in south a city it was a priority in my election program how should we restore order in the country through rule of law we will need to reorganize the law enforcement agencies to make that happen the law should be above all and everyone should have by it we will bring order through law. to know how your relationship with russia will be formed political recognition is a key issue but what is the role of rushing the further development of your country both politically and economically. so good russia a neighbor in the north was always the first country to come to our rate the events of oldest two thousand and eight are an example of that georgia attacked south a setia in an operation that code names clearfield if russia had not interfered to save its citizens we would have suffered extensive damage we will build up our relations with russia based on the principles to find by our own people we will forever be with russia the president and the government of people's trust that we

will create will work to integrate into russia's infrastructure and cooperate with it politically economically and in the areas of defense and alms trade oh how do you assess the situation with russian tourists to georgia who are arrested for visiting south they say. what effect will that georgia law will have on a key pipe territory's. you may ring for months according to my information this is happened on several occasions i think it does not do credit to the georgian authorities as it's a violation of human rights the georgian authorities seized the opportunity to detain people on the sole grounds that they were own georgia's territory it is not the only case of human rights violations in georgia we can observe them quite frequently in that state i know that from my own experience with present and important. for the development of the countries to travel in would invest in and who is interested in. some. of the said here does indeed need investment that

applies both to industry and agriculture as well as the republic's infrastructure it is in the best interests of the people of a set and also naturally not in the least of the investors themselves are going to create a grill of an legal framework that would attract investment into south a city is economy i believe that investors would be interested to take advantage of it and work here one. would want it and you have imagined that he would become president of independent south a camp but if. i could approach with requests to become a presidential candidate since two thousand and one this year however the circles close to me including the intellectual circles and my friends ever undertaken a great effort to have me a greaser run for president because our republic is facing now a great number of times and i think that i and the team i'm planning to create will be able to deal with things tasks i never wanted to become president for the sake of being one it's a job with a high level of responsibility and i'll do my best to deliver. which politicians

have inspired he in your political career who do you look up to. that. there are many politicians in history that set a good example to follow but the most recent example is set by vladimir putin who's been elected to be russia's next president as we all knew going to be a putin and his team succeeded in driving russia out of a deep political and economic crisis that happened a few years ago that's why he is the politician i'm trying to look up to. there where do you see south eighteen thousand five or ten years from now what will be like the cutest into or perhaps three or five years' time i see south of setia as a prosperous state where people will feel it ease to go to for a vacation and enjoy their stay here as people do in the civilised western world this is the goal we will work hard to achieve guided by the example of the leading developed countries thank you very much for this interview. thank you very much jim

many thanks to your team for coming to work here with us in south asia your quarterly welcome here any time of what you could buy. one. hundred. years. we can buy forty acres and not nineteen ninety three and decide it would be a great place to find myself a home and retire. there she is what we call in our new neighbor neighbor i know seven. we have

seventy acres here and i can't convince them that they need to drill somewhere besides two hundred feet from. the needs of our growing economy also means expanding our domestic production of oil and natural gas which are vital fuel for transportation electricity and manufacturing this is what florida's call home service to the poor to the rifle and then mr cheney. you know our flaws are not toxic than we did a lot of because one of the mis understanding of what exactly in the flu it's. time to visit you come up here unless you come over here and live in my house for a week. i have no rights.

there hasn't been anything yet on t.v. . used to get the maximum political impact. before source material is what helps keep journalism honest we. we want to position. something else. on.

the headlines on our t.v. and a rough on us appetite for security the world's biggest spy base draws a marathon of protests over concerns it only contributes to global insecurity. india rockets its way into the big guns club off the test firing its first intercontinental ballistic missile and upping the ante in a region seeding with mutual distrust and hostility. and ceasefire crossfire u.n. monitors in syria reportedly come under a barrage of bullets with both the opposition and the regime trading blame while influential revelled backers prepare to lower the acts of new sanctions on assad. and the international trade agreement which sparked massive protests suffers

a setback in the european parliament as a key m.e.p. sounds the alarm over its threat to civil liberties. and here comes i agree with all the sports. good afternoon hugh and the headline how you but not driving on the moscow look to square their garden cup series against the guard in the russian capital. plus they don't think it's all over chelsea insists there's still work to do after their shock won the victory over barcelona in the champions league semifinal. and leading up to the concerns are raised about the state of the call ahead of russia's crucial fed cup semifinal against serbia. the first ice hockey to be gone cup finals continue this evening in the pressure is on the normal moscow to get back on level terms with god the bloom whites lost one nil in front of home fans last time out to

give our vanguard a two one series late and tonight is the last game in the russian capital before the contest which is in siberia another packed times is expected at least miki but i haven't god will see this is a golden opportunity victory to put the visit is just one win away from being frank champions the normal welcome back defending nobody believes injury but will be without would like to be shut. down football despite chelsea's one nowhere noble past alona blues boss the bird it imitate isn't getting carried away and didier drogba goal separated the sides in the first leg of the champions league semifinal at stamford bridge last night but the chelsea coach believes either side can still make the final. no i don't think. it's a fifty fifty for both teams because. you know you know what to expect when you play. to be very very difficult.

we still have the belief that we might be able to score goals. to be a tough game it's use a tough game for any of your position. to barcelona. which we had lots of chances to score the one which resulted in the goal for us is a great pity really didn't score we are happy with that we played creating lots of scoring opportunities and we are confident for the return leg. should be a cracking time in the sea when the sides i think meet again at the nou camp next week well it is the turn of the europa league semifinals the same thing with an all spanish tie between athletic a madrid. forward say were crowned champions two years ago after beating fullam in the final i knew caged is aging inside to turn around their stuff or in form of light they have only picked up six points from their last five games in the league but the players aren't letting that affect them around.

tomorrow's game an extremely important game it is a qualifying round that can lead us to a final if we go forward and after that there will be time to focus on well there are still five games to goo and we will try to take one being it comes and try to win because we know we need. a chance for revenge for valencia the sides met in the quarter finals three years ago winning on away goals are to valencia where tonight what they thought was a clear penalty and in the other semifinals the evening portuguese side sporting lisbon will be doing their best to ensure it is not an all spanish final they're up against. let it build back. now let's get the latest from the monte carlo masters where third seed andy murray is through to the quarter finals there after his french opponent julian beneteau retired the frenchman fellow in the first set and decided to call it a day when he was six games to five down in his compound creature with three to

tsonga has just begun his match with spain's fernando verdasco there is one game all. in if you call it isn't a real tussle will succeed thomas birdie and that has gone to a deciding set and it is tied at the games all. the while russia has been well tennis stars are preparing for their fed cup semi against serbia at the weekend although it has been concerned about the state of the court in moscow which has been laid on top of an ice rink might clip chunka as the story. russia's previous encounter was two years ago it was no easy matter meeting is that line equipment and at least likely to have a doubles win just great possible because the three two but being on home territory this time around russia will be hoping to make like the work of this city final opponents i'm pretty confident all the time playing for fed cup because it's for play and i'm not alone so i feel support from my seaman i feel support from the

crowds especially playing and home now the semifinals of the federations cup is nothing new to russia even though it's the first time it's going to be held on a clay court so business however could be rattled because they've never reached the same as before and they're feeling too relatively inexperienced players and the looks of the crew which you are not skiing is training behind me ranked one hundred ninety five and ninety six respectively and nineteen year old crew each and twenty year old you are not a good look the nerves get the better of them up but for number one you learn a younger which believes rankings counsel little when playing in the fed cup i think there are players who play very good for when they play for their country no matter what their ranking is and there's players who are ranked very high and don't really do so playing for their country so it's i think it's. i think the youngsters themselves are well aware of the pressure but spirits in the serbian camp are high where all the time thinking about the. team atmosphere because that's

the most important thing and we don't think if we're in the same means or in the final you know it's just going by itself you know we're winning winning so i think we have a very good team and i think we really deserve to be in the same is russia greece passed last year semifinalists italy five mill in moscow only to lose out to the czech republic in the final on home soil so could sober and co are under no illusion that the serbs will give them a good fight and you can. then your belief in the have never been to the final big pool it's a big thing russia did do it was thought of as an additional motivation and they'll be trying really hard to achieve that at the much too well some spend the time diplomatically talking up each other's chances others raise the issue of the course quality built in a short time frame and over and i spring from ls they have been kind of a freshly laid clay is lumpy and is causing holes i hope we will be there for this

match. you know and like you know the course itself not so good in this moment but really good green everything to preserve the core for the for the weekend now it's not entirely clear whether or not current boyfriend alexander ovechkin was consulted over how to play on ice but world number twenty one maria kirilenko seemed calm about the stage of the court well it's something different and i never heard about it you know that they can put the clay court on the ice but so it's ok let's just finish with practice and. it will be a case of experience versus determination when these two teams meet on saturday and sunday just by pundits favoring russia to win surtees plays a key to prove otherwise michael crabtree go r.t. moscow. in other news five more russian swimmers have grabbed places at the london olympics six time all record holder you have kenny call of kin among them after winning the hundred metres butterfly at the national championships in moscow he just beat nicolas sports off into second place here but both club required and in

pick qualification time amelle be joined in london by a car to get chin in and blood in waters of took gold and silver in one hundred metres backstroke alexander taken off on the four hundred meters medley in four minutes and fifteen seconds to go case place on the russian olympic team so they're on track with their training and you can sense their relief. the synagogue we're going to see you know from the start i was preparing for the olympics and was not expecting to face such a strong competition here my aim was to achieve the qualification time required. to do that as well as winning there and it was also a psychological be true for me this trying to get back on track you know. you worship you so. everything is your theory. not lathi charge busy getting ready for the london games this summer some are already thinking about the following games in rio and twenty sixteen that will see golf

make its a limb pick return and the search has begun for russian players to compete. as more . rushes because golf and start my river channel is currently taking a break from the sport but more young talent is coming through one promising prospect is russian national runner up about him or possible he's just sixteen and will turn twenty one at the rio olympics the games will see the return of golf after just two appearances early in the twentieth century but to make an olympic dream come true players need to dig deep. and i want to go to the olympics but to give myself a chance i need to be high up in the world rankings so have to turn pro soon and start wrecking our brain points and improve my game for this season the youngster said he cites on the european amateur team championships in portugal in september and then probably the world event the russian national sides are fresh from

a training camp in america and say local trainers praise their progress as a unit but for sports officials a raft of strong performances and not just words of approval. to go to the rio olympics golfers will need to rockets out of the world rankings those rankings are compiled in accordance with their results at professional events so arts are used to prepare our leading golfers for these tournament's and off season cams will be an integral part of these preparations because their schedule is extremely busy week in week out of russia might be anything but a golfing stronghold and years of hard work ally heads but with new courses like best of enslaver just answered moscow popping up the road to rio could become a little bit smoother. party. and that is all we've got time for for the moment more sport later.
