exclusively from jail. victor thank you very much for calling in today i want to start by asking you you were sentenced to a quarter of a century behind bars what does that feel like grow worse before they come with you and is it clear your father brother cronk you know you know your spirit if you figure it out and you understand both of the freedom it's impossible to break you down to bring your company if you're counting on war i know i don't commit to anything to have that punishment. when i was a major me and a crime these crimes would never take these are live food you have got a record not to read the crime then the result would be the conspiracy revolved label. decision to kill americans which is i'd like a magic bullet or for that european and kind of. world where you're no barriers to the moment do you hold an overreach. where you know your mom accepted.

that there were no people but i think some of. that will help i understand the reality and i understand time i'm trying to bring them out which my friends my family and russian people that listen to what is happening to me it's a pure political case you are in the process of appeal and you've also asked the russian state duma to file a complaint against the united states. in thailand why hoping for legally as politically all well legally i'm maybe not the best person tosser use the lawyers would know better and i'm not trained to especially an american president lol i'm allowed to tell you what my perspective or whatever is the law and i'll be going to do but i have almost known hope because the way the system works once you label to the ones you put to the so-called. jury's decision so no judge or even supreme

court with i was counseled that because like this is the truth in the. hoopers state nobody can ever order a rule reconsider the decision or knows of a certain point and it's accepted that the jurist cannot fail now we know that you are about to be transferred to a prison in colorado and considering your lawyer and your families here in new york city will this affect you a lot this move this transfer but that's another despised jaj decision on the recommendation to keep me somewhere nearby because i've never been in that if i don't have no and a family here except my wife visiting me. my lawyer based in new york they're trying to deal with me so it's lost to a little too most of the countess you know jail which isn't about ten feet in on the ground so i never could see daylight again as a punishment as

a chance to grace mobster goes to prepare the proper appeal as a kind of the riverbank for all that you know we brought the issue of the as a keep me and shoot for more than i want to home for years without solid reason and i'm broke prison planning you know the tricks that can play with me that you're after you learned your sentence in court on april fifth you turned to the d.n.a. agents who were inside the courtroom when you said god knows the truth. you know the truth what is your message to u.s. officials today and maybe even the u.s. president well i have a message for you is president if you will keep using these thugs who have a name of gay drug enforcement agents and they would invent a crimes based world not only not help america through early solve the problem with a drug for say anywhere but it's that of going to the a real problem and solve the real problem they just inventing the crime because

look there is no danger for him go to somebody who would not hide provoke do the kind o. the dirty tricks and be in frames of people instead of going out to solve the real problem with the real drug cartels and then it's also hypocrisy on this administration if they you know sentenced me to twenty five years daredevil status and they don't want to go and then sent those old guys. dealers in america who are selling the arms and these are my ending up in mexico and by these arms the killing of the same american citizen in mexico it's been reported that you knew you were dealing with undercover agents or at least not by members all along in the in the days in the time leading up to your arrest is that the case. i don't think we could really now talk about the you know these details i don't remember they. stated that i was dealing with undercover agents which stated that i was not sure who was a i and for me the they've been very strange people they posing like you know these

but the way they pose the way they talk i understand immediately they have nothing to do with. fog people are told you were dubbed the merchant of death the lord of war do you think these nicknames ended up affecting your case more than they should have of course this is entire story is about first you crazy me and then you bring people from all over the saw them always followed to redo all this article which and. the single article brought any single fact about my rock star look with all their money doing for all over the world and they brought two pilots who confronted yes my father my company was engaged in the transportation but it was legitimate conflict with the legitimate government of rwanda and we've been flying them you know accordingly they they call direct or really or also monitor is done properly but out of all the businessmen that they could have gone after why do you think they went after you. listen for ten thousand men to whom they're going to pick up

because whenever they go spoon feed to the mainstream media spoon feeding the american population all creating them if they don't care when they pick up we know that you've seen the movie about you with nicolas cage what do you what do you think about his performance i feel sorry for him that this is a very. middle middle career move has a very bad to know screen and i don't think it's a even interesting to watch it all it's a fair representation of the problem which is because an african nation if you knew you would be serving a twenty five year sentence behind bars do you think you would have done anything differently no i don't regret nothing in my life and i can see and face anything i did because i didn't did anything wrong with my life if you were actually a free man right now do you know what you would be doing what would you want to be doing would you change your life around start something new well of course because look around four years. of

a lot behind the bar by uncle sam dire i'm ruined completely i don't have any money left at all they. not only cause my companies they put to these executive orders which is without any due process without even chance to calm and explain as they said they freeze six billion dollars and i'm asking a challenging president of united states show the proof with i had ever six billion dollars at least i know where to get money to pay my defense team for that bukhari this is all you know story is the same and nothing short of the small can medeiros like they did with the weapon of mass destruction of iraq. then even today have bill said if you repeat the lies thousand and ten thousand times it's become a true as this is exactly the recipient which these that read ministration using some of the people who've been following your case critics have been saying that the case is very much anti russia do you think that that's really the case or is it

just you where says the u.s. government of course there isn't a russian look or whatever well what was happening in a thailand during the extradition procedure when the criminal court in bangkok denied extrusion they put tremendous pressure for the. government of thailand and they actually brought me out not extradited and we still have a pending legal procedures and dyna to the court because we submitted appeals there and it was not finished feel a because of personal involvement big pressure numerous calls of dire ambassador american ambassador going out most daily and pushing the government the government decided to pass me over to americans side like you said your papers do remain in thailand do you think they'll remain on the shelf forever or could there still be some sort of decision get a little egypt people are really moving if there really is or any political will of thigh government to prove that they have a stable justice not mockery and then not

a colony of the united states they have to do it there's been several cases throughout the last several years where the f.b.i. ended up putting itself on the back for. manufacturing some cases and bringing foreigners to u.s. soil do you think this is something that we're going to see more of in the future go through this and i was close to the money toting every two weeks you have a manufactured crime and benefactor to buy but the idea it's regular just what's there somebody's car caught for the trying and all conspiring to send airplane model loaded with explosives to the pentagon another one you know called. for the agents of begging them please go and expose synagogue for the eighty seven months and they are looking for the people in the desperate stage which is the need money and this is agents instead of really walking to move to secure this country to just say no manufacturing of the crime and showing all you know with preventing the crime itself terror or the war of terror you cannot fight against the carol because

carol it's not the state it's not the person now you are serving twenty five years right now but you have said previously that you think you will be released before that and will be able to return to russia where a lot sooner how and why how do you think that would happen because look this is a case purely political and i think the public opinion in russia understand and know the truth this by the american procedures and my case actually showing them the real condition of american justice system and real condition to reach an american state coming as a police state and nothing short of dictatorship this year but thank you very much for your time with us today we appreciate i want to send the best regards to the artist of.

russian premier league with four teams still fighting over the second and last champions league spot on this sunday the last day of the season no spots. all it was a chance the only man all best placed a point clear of the rest of the pack of good finishes runners up with a win at rubin spartak moscow are third and will be without a top scorer emmanuel and the nikkei and that capital dalby as luck would see the number or a point behind sponsor and travel to combine. also have an outside chance of playing second sponsors who see the man welcomes it meet him already in crime champions so with one set of games to go he is the top of the tables and he's our unassailable at the summit but he's really packed behind them with his got spotlight and dungy still assured of european football next season the only issue being what that champions league or the europa league. while under way now there's a fight the survival of the boss of rostov doom taller looking to escape the relegation play offs rostock need to win and also rely on b.s.e.

at all elsewhere on current. engvall guy who will go into the playoffs while rock bottom and relegated spotlight now jake are taking one thousand and up so is the table before those matches kicked off tom announce you got already relegated but two more sides will enter the playoffs and face the third and fourth place finish is probably the second tier. and it's also a thrilling end to the season in the english premier league title in european places and the third relegation spot will all be decided on the final day there with all ten matches kicking off in just over an hour match the city lead manchester united on goal difference so victory over q.p.r. would give city the title for the first time in forty four years while fourth from bottom range is a must draw to stay up and united realistically lost with sunderland and city safe as well as well asked no will finish third if they win it west brom top down are also i mean for a top four spot against full and so when you call some at everton chelsea host

relegated blackburn liverpool go to swans a bolton must win it start to have any chance of staying up north face aston villa and wigan already say take on do groups so to the table where city lead united by an eight goal difference of just two points though separate arsenal top the newcastle third place will guarantee champions league football for spot could also do the same thing but it won't if chelsea win the champions league final in munich next week. and it also goes on blackburn are already down bolton occupy the last relations forty two points and nine goals adrift and need to win it stoke q.p.r. space is in their own hands but they are not just this is that. while in germany league champions burst your dog and are celebrating their first domestic double after beating by a munich five two to win the german cup this robot led off the scoring a hat trick but there was plenty of action before his first goal pack our group had only known. robin to level from the sport's one one dome and then had

a penalty of their own home. which. slotted in and then never got it down to shine netting his first to make it three one to do it and the fall into . this second came just after the break and by having groups like. even from every point on back brilliantly to make it four to snuffed out and come back to this bird to make you find. a magnificent and you don't win season i am willing to dust themselves down this saturday's champions league final against chelsea in. ice hockey now and at the world championships they're talking juror alexander ovechkin and alexander showman from the washington capitals are due to join the russian squad on wednesday but this sunday evening russia will be looking to keep that perfect group record intact so

that a lot of the legs the knobs man remain the only other side in the tournament with five wins out of five matches so far but they're facing the czech republic and to the euro popular titles as last month what else well then take on the usa in the back of the second spot in truth so insulin played slovakia and germany are up against norway. that's a basketball and says go forward andrei kirilenko has been named the euro league's m.v.p. ahead of this sunday's final against olympiakos in istanbul while the russian was honored at an awards ceremony i was also named best defender and a member of the all you only first team a little discussed new yorkers pitch well it's a time you do is to the army man you are preparing to face the libyan coast in the final of a sunday evening and with all the build up from turkey is from uncle for us. russia says scar and the greeks olympiacos are more familiar with each other that you might think greek fans know and still adore the serbian point guard milledgeville

those age who helped the red whites reach the euro league final in swansea ten. where he eventually became the tournament's most valuable player one of europe's best coaches you don't ask us who is now plying his trade in moscow was also part of really bad cause and few years back however despite their friendly relationship they had coach will put all the motions as side on sunday don't think the three of them or use a really bad was going to a team this is a live image and believable would just love it much but compared to the beginning if they've been the means to make unbeaten and whether saw or we have been there we have been so we have to make decisions for them because mistakes were made on the beginning and played this game the highlights of course history was probably in one thousand nine hundred ninety seven when they claimed their sole yearly crown to date and that was under their current coach serbian joosh on the eve of h.

back then like now did seem fail to impress in the early stages of the tournaments but still managed to defy the odds in the playoffs on the other hand says scott have lifted the europe's top club trophy six times since the competition was established but the muscovites could have added even further to their haul after making it to the last four for eight consecutive seasons from two thousand and three until twenty ten so as you can see says moscow want to sue your titles over that period and here they are marked in gold two thousand and six and two thousand and eight sell well so once it's all final is still to combat the management and the fans of course are hoping that the next number it's once it's wealth will turn gold as well ron paul serve artsy reporting from istanbul turkey. well meanwhile in the n.b.a. the boston celtics have won the first day was their eastern conference semifinal against philadelphia the celtics edged that first encounter ninety to ninety one in

the western conference the l.a. lakers won their first round decider with a ninety six points to eighty seven victory i was the denver nuggets to clinch the series four three well that victory sets up a second round showdown with the oklahoma city thunder and the players know what to expect. but i think we know pretty well we know their personnel. and we know what they're good at and obviously we haven't had one have as much chance to look at a lot of tape. but we know who we are facing we know how hard is going to be. and we know it's a quick turnaround. so we have to stay ready mentally and physically for another battle. now on to formula one and williams driver pastor maldonado started on pole for the first time following a dramatic qualifying session for the spanish grand prix which is now underway in barcelona because lewis hamilton should have started at the front but was moved to the back of the grid after breaching regulations however the britain has clawed his

way back to face despite a troublesome pit stop on it is maldonado who is leading the way after overtaking ferrari's fernando alonso in the pits but michael schumacher and bruno center are both out following a collision and we now almost halfway through the race arsalan. tell us now is ready to williams's trash world number one victoria azarenka in the final of the madrid open the top ranked belorussian was after her fist title of the season but lost in straight sets six one six three just over an hour as our guest failed to convert only phrase grinchy cards while the younger williams sisters smashed a total of fourteen aces to a second crowd of the year and she also won in charleston last month. while in the men's side of the drop roger federer is looking to return to the world number two spot with a win against his big serve in burdick this was my stroke would rise to that rank for the first time in fourteen months leap frogging rough on the doll in the process also equaling the spaniard record of twenty losses titles with victory. now

finally to golf and kevin now rolled in a body parts on the final hole to take a one shot lead into the final round of the players championship at sawgrass the american sign this fifteen foot or two card a bogey free round of sixty eight and that could tear at the top of the leaderboard on twelve under going into the final day fellow american that is his nearest rival he's one shot back and have enjoyed a two shot lead to sinking this on the tenth before finding water later on rickie fowler was the biggest mover he jumped from seventeenth to third with a sixty six to line just three shots off the pace and did well to get out of the sun. he won the sixteenth. while england's donald is on three on that and he needs a top four finish to reclaim the world number one spot for rory mcilroy missed the cut. and that's all for this person i mean more in just under two hours but for me i think.
