a way vote violence sounds scandal in the war zone. today has seen the inauguration of the recently elected south president leonid to bill off the head of the event we spoke to the new leader that's next right here. we're joined today by leigh i need to be is the newly elected president salva said here. mr to be thank you for finding time for our tea. overboard what will be your first start as president of the republic of south a city where. we will hold the inauguration of south a city as president and the republic's current government will be dismissed the new president will start forming a new government during a presidential campaign we came up with the name for this new government will be a government of the people's trust so this will be a first step because the new government will have

a lot to do south to say 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. when you continue the policy of your predecessor all select a new course. my predecessor worked in different conditions we will continue the course chosen by our people it's 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 at the. one you know it. do you plan future work in cooperation with your opponent from the past elections maybe offer him a position in your government. senate korea who 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 and you opinion are the most important problems partly facing south a city. yes my meetings with my constituents showed that there were many problems south a city 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. and i was part of the security services for many years we worked in cooperation with other law enforcement agencies curious cooperation i

learned how other structures from action and 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 a sense here and know basically all the people in the republic so my expertise will be very useful. and the election you won was not let us attempt to elect a president in southeast asia the previous election ended in scandal what is your version of those events were 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 say we failed to elect a president at the time i think that we could revisit this issue later and figure out why the election was invalidated. or years even to date south's it is an

independent state recognized but only if you 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. but it. got frightened by the northern cyprus president because in the first three years of its independence some of 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 and 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 make its new south the city a 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 the north which as 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 as we have this dream for our people to reunite we have been split into two parts one part lives the north of setia the other part lives in south setia say we held a referendum in 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 or setia towards reuniting our people and this is the dream that i shared before. how the relationship between south a stake in georgia developed they still feel the republic is part of their territory and did not even recognize the legitimacy of the presidential election here. it is a mistake on georgia's part not to recognize the political process in south a city or 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 south asia several times since then practically destroying it as a result georgia has not paid a penalty to compensate for that damage they're obliged to compensate for the damage they've inflicted on us our future relations with georgia a subject to negotiation you probably know that negotiations on that are underway in geneva. any you prefer action statements he talked about restoring order in the country what do you mean by that and what can we expect from this. yes the rule of law in south a city it was a priority in my election program how shall 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. i would like to know how your relationship with russia will be formed political recognition is a key issue but what is the role of russian the further development of your country both politically and economically. so russia our neighbor in the north was always the first country to come to our rate the events of august two thousand and eight are an example of that georgia attacked south a settee and in operation the code name 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 defined by our own people we will forever be with russia the present 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 how do you assess the situation with russian tourists to georgia who are arrested for visiting

south sake and has the what effect will the georgian law have on occupied territories. according to my information is has 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 only 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. and important. for the development of the countries to traffic inward investment who is interested in. some. sense of safety it 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 his set here and also naturally not in the least of the investors themselves we're going to create a grill even legal framework that would attract investment into south

a safety is economy i believe that investors would be interested to take advantage of it and work here. with only if you have imagined that he would become president of independent south a camp. 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 have undertaken a great effort to have me greta run for president because our republic is facing now a great number of topics and i think that i am the team i'm planning to create who will be able to deal with these 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 live up. with. 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 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 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. they've already see south eighteen to five or ten years from now what will be like the cutest in two 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 civilized western world this is the goal we still work hard to achieve guided by the example of the leading developed countries thank you very much for the soon to be. thank you very much to many thanks to your team for coming to work here with us in south asia your quarterly welcome here anytime what's your good buy.

mutilations sport and here's what's coming up. poem but not draw you now moscow aim to square their garden cup final series against robin god they hit a crunch time here in the russian capital. plus hold the stones chelsea insists there's still work to do after that one male first leg victory at home to barcelona in the champions league so we finals. and clay time concerns are raised about the state of the court ahead of russia's crucial cup semifinal against serbia. the first i saw the and in the fourth game of the best of seven going cup final series places off this thursday evening and the pressure is on time signs and i will start to get back on level terms with is it since i've been gone the whites lost one nil in front of their home fans last time managed to give up and go to a two one series lead and this thursday's game is the last in the russian capital

for the contest which is backed by one match in siberia while another is expected at the make you arena album god will see this is a golden opportunity victory would put the business just one went away from being crowned champions the only world another welcome back defender didn't know that the injury will be that forwards i like the shots. as center football now and chelsea caretaker manager about what he would tell you isn't getting carried away after his side got a vital one zero win at home to hold his barcelona in the first leg of the champions league semifinal well i made an evening of the out to be a dog was scored with the blues only clear chance in the first hour of stoppage time despite the business having seventy two percent of possession he would work twice in putting a short period off the line how about this my boss account grasp of guardiola saying jealousy and now the favorites to reach the final imitator still believes either side could get it straight. in the. i don't think it's favorites of think

it's fifty fifty for both teams because. you know you know what to expect when you play. a newcomer it's going to be very very difficult and. we still have to believe that we might be able to school as well so. tough game it's tough going for any of your position that goes to. the. second. question which we have lots of chances to score well below me how the one which resulted in the goal for us it is a great pity really to score but we are happy with the way we played reading most of scoring opportunities and we are confident for the return leg. well this thursday evening sees the turn of the right beliefs any finals with an old spanish tie in madrid between. let it go a grand champions two years ago after beating fallen and new coach diego simeone is urging him to turn around and start running full six points in the last five games

but the point is not that there are. such a lot of. what we have in mind now is tomorrow's game an extremely important game it is a qualifying round that can we go through a final if we go forward and after that there will be time to focus on. there are still five games to good and we will try to take one game as it comes and try to win because we know we need to win. more meanwhile the matches the transformer then about and they have a seismic in the quarter final three years ago before winning on away goals about anything it would you know and what he thought was a clear penalty well in the semifinal this quarter the side sporting lisbon would be doing zara best to ensure it's not an all spanish final because they had athletic bilbao. tennis out men's while the one i got out of it is a. action and his first great court tournament of the year

a monthly column all stars are the top ranked serbian is actually down against ukraine i think some people because of one before lunch third seed andy murray moved into the quarter finals of his uni and beneteau retired at sixty games to five down in the first second and next up the murray is sixty's tamasha burdick the big serving check smashed a daisey's as he came from a set down to be japan's eight and she corry all c.j. will beat tsonga hell of a spirited set challenge by now and over the last go round like a straight sets victory with a stunning. thought meanwhile russia's female tennis stars are preparing for their first cup semifinal against serbia this weekend although there's been some concern about the state of the court here in moscow which has been laid on top of an ice rink on the reports. rush's previous encounter was two years ago it was no easy matter even use atlantic when it's over and i recently been over doubles with just great possible things they flee to but being on home territory this time around russia will be hoping to make light

a work of the city final opponents i'm pretty confident this time playing for five because it's for play and i'm not alone so i feel support from i see him and i feel support from the crowd especially plan on how the semifinals of the federations cup is nothing new to russia even though it was the first time it's going to be held on the clay court so business however could be rattled because they've never reached the same as before and they're feeling to relatively inexperienced players and the likes of the crew which. is trailing behind me ranked one hundred ninety five and ninety six respectively nineteen year old cruelly each and twenty year old you are not a good look their nerves get the better of them but for number one you learn a younger which believes rankings camp a little when playing in the cup i think there are players who play very good for four when they play for their country no matter what their ranking is and there's players her ranked very high don't really do so well playing for their country so

it's i think it's their only think that can the youngsters themselves i will aware of the pressure of 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 where we were going so i think we have very good team and i think we really deserved 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 me. at any ability and though we have never been to the final before all that submitting russia to do it was probably an additional motivation and they'll be trying really hard to achieve. while 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 streets milliners there have been crimes of the freshly laid clay is lumpy and is causing holes but i hope we will be there for this match . because you know it like you know of course it's not so good in this woman but really they're doing everything to preserve the court for the for the vacant now it's not entirely clear whether or not current boyfriend alexander was consulted over how to play on ice but world number twenty one maria kirilenko seems calm about the state of the port well it's something different and i never heard about it you know that they're going for the clay court and i was so it's ok let's just finish with practice and. it'll be a case of experience versus determination when these two teams meet on saturday and sunday and despite pundits be rushing to win so these plays akin to prove otherwise mightn't have changed our moscow. well into soaring and six time world record hole

that you have any politician has won the one hundred metres butterfly but national championships here in moscow joint five other russians in qualify for this and this one then takes now about addition just based nicolette what sort but both recorded required for vacation time and that will be joined in london i think that term and loving it but also respectively to gold and silver in the one hundred metres backstroke. alexander cano one of the four hundred metres medley in the minutes and fifteen seconds took his place so really precious and then picked team of his own sure but. certainly others were going to just 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 and i had the idea that as well as winning their band it was also

a psychological the cherry for me just trying to get back on track and. you are sure you are. here and i think everything is going the right way. but in the meantime russia's top athletes coaches and sports officials have got together to discuss the preparations for the games the country has yet to announce the overall medal targets though sports federations are aiming high and hoping produce a combined total of thirty goals however possible champions are wary of any untimely injuries that spoil their plans. when you speak of the way by today's our basketball team here's what some would say key player stranger is some of the hardest part you know preparation says to try to find new leaders probably the young grandson a step up for the build it up with this picture such an important tournament and you have to be one hundred percent ready and i like individual sports volatile is a team sport so every single player and culture is of value so first of all we must try to avoid injuries because there were too many of those at the recent world cup

even though we bought it it looked like it was a i'm not practicing any new technical elements instead i'll be refining my old program because the european championships come to for their lympics and only after the tournament i may make some changes. now finally golfing history has been created in china as a local kid has become the youngest player to tee off at an event on the european tour well one lank is just thirteen days and the hundred seventy three days of thirteen years one hundred seventy five days that is he started playing the sport when he was four was crowned world champion for his age group last year is i mean rather the inaugural try to write a little less spectacular as the teenager could only manage a five over are something seven that's still not about a foot in the truck evolving leads the way by one strike on seven under the twenty six year old is also in his rookie year on the top while the biggest name there peter hansen is six shots of the base i got shy of the sweet and washed out of the

last of a fortnight ago. and that's all the sports news i think. will . technology innovation all the developments around we've got the future.
