feel. hello there this is art see these are the top stories from our news review of the week moscow warns of the un human rights body which claimed syrian leaders for the who the massacre russia believes it's premature because the investigation is still ongoing and put pressure to downscale all this while president putin's reaffirmed his stance on not taking sides during top level visits to paris and he was speaking had a meeting with european leaders in st petersburg which kicks off later sunday. egypt's ousted president hosni mubarak begin serving life for his party and killing eight hundred fifty protesters during last year's uprising thousands are enraged at what

they see as soft sentiments. by the world's top loses his extradition appeal from britain to sweden on sex assault ship. legal team has fourteen days now to appeal the decision which they believe is politically motivated. next our interview with serbia's newly elected president nicola chin which he talks about the road ahead for his country as it faces economic difficulties and strives for e.u. membership. that's what it is mr president thank you very much for giving your time for this interview the international media see you as a nationalist and a right wing however you based your election campaign on good relations with the european union that is the obviously they are absolutely right i am a nationalist but i'm a democrat as well and as far as european values go we will respect them because of our constitution the constitution the cost to meet certain i wrote together i

respect it sincerely i'd like to bring order to serbia the way the germany is organized probably a lot of time will pass until the western press accept me and treats me fairly as for many years they've written about me negatively now it's difficult to change that but after achieving victory in unacceptable conditions during an incredibly dirty media campaign it's more probable that the media will change their opinion too moreover i showed that i want to be the president of all the citizens of serbia i've resigned the position as head of the party that i founded only three years ago and i took it to the top of the serbian political scene i left it as if it was a child when now my objective is to make serbia a developed and successful country and for that i need the support of all citizens not only members of the progressive party of serbia. aren't you afraid you'll lose the support of your traditional very to save your european stone your voices at the store i'm not afraid because europe is a very attractive partner for serbia and our country should meet almost all the

conditions that the e.u. imposes this process should stop only if they ask us to renounce part of our territory i'm referring to kosovo and i talk here until now i've been open and sincere with the citizens of serbia and i'm going to continue cooperating with the people at the moment they impose such conditions i told people immediately i think that's why i won't lose my popularity you know in our country the dismissal of a president is almost impossible nevertheless my term will last five years only if the cities. and allow it if they no longer want to see me in this position i will walk away right now i'm convinced that the politics that i've been representing are the only good politics for serbia. mr beard in your first statement after the elections you said that serbia will not turn away from the european path and at the same time you promise to hold a referendum where the citizens will have to decide if they want to join the e.u. or not we keep this promise as award of the referendum is going to happen we agreed with the democrats that when all the conditions are fulfilled for serbia's entry to

the e.u. we will go to the people with the question do you want to be in the e.u. and they will decide that's how they did it in croatia only a few months ago but only after they had fulfilled all the conditions and when the e.u. had accepted co a share then they organized the referendum i think it's necessary to cooperate with citizens a lot more than in the past but that doesn't mean that i'm resigned to the european way my only fear is that they'll impose conditions that i personally wouldn't accept but probably the citizens would say that's fulfill it too because we want to be in the e.u. i won with fifty percent of vote and i know that the other half didn't support my ideas that's why i believe that i should ask them to get it for these women more as those who come to power tonight when serbia is in a difficult economic situation when the country's unemployment rate exceeds twenty four percent on the other side europe also has its problems and it's becoming poorer day by day so why do so still want to become members of the here aren't you

afraid that the greek scenario could be repeated in your country over to you know greece is another thing greece is a member of the e.u. which was spending more money than it could afford and then one day it came out that it didn't have anything left it took advantage of the e.u. which is not a state but a union of states the trust one another serbia is far behind any of the e.u. member countries and i've had a meeting with the foreign affairs minister of live out here who told me much concern that unemployment in his country is ten percent was i told him that we almost read. twenty five percent of that our debt by the end of the a.b.a. probably surpassed sixty five percent of g.d.p. which would be a catastrophe as a state most likely it's not the debt that others or the g.d.p. of the state it is too low so i think it should go on trying to form part of the e.u. which means much more than simply belonging to a union a well organized judicial system of the human rights freedom of expression because of the struggle against organized crime bribery and corruption of the likud minority rights all these are achievements over the you also be

a end to the ear i don't know that the first of all they have the crisis of expansion with it today it's clear that we were being naive during the next ten years at the same time they have the existential crisis the euro is a currency that's turning weaker by the day on the other hand it's a big question how long is germany going to help many other you know that's to say how long should german taxpayer support the countries in crisis i promise to guide serbia to a path where no one could say that we don't want to enter these new my truth is that the world is a lot bigger my victory is a victory of the ideology of both the e.u. and russia call me and i'm not the e.u. or writer because of the sea that india doesn't or that was interesting he didn't think that sebi i will have to she's between the e.u. and russia i think it's possible to keep the right balance between then. you have a whole other level i'd prefer not to have to make the choice or those i'd like serbia to be at home with toodles one to the west and the other to the east these serbia simply belongs to the east as well as to the west we have a traditional and deep relationship with russia not only in terms of origin but

also in religion was their story customs language but we have complementary industries that we've had exceptional economic relations since the second world war unfortunately we ruined our industry with senseless privatisation over the years which led to people losing their jobs we were never the less we have the education we have the will power and natural resources to collaborate once again with the russian federation at a much higher level since two thousand serbia has moved away from russia's until two thousand. thousand and eight when russia signed with serbia and energy a reasonable allowing our country to breathe more easily will also those who are already talking about the construction of south stream of large investments in hydro and gas power stations which we should have done it earlier because the they shouldn't think that it's our unique partner because this way it could impose really harsh condition is the country should maintain its sovereignty and also have partners in other places and we shouldn't forget about the brics countries of the arab and african world the cooperate very well with serbia so when we open the

doors of serbia to the world we do so for a prosperous future that's why i'll never choose between russia and the e.u. i know where my heart is and everybody in serbia knows that but i also think that we can be a good bridge between europe and russia and the best partner of russia in the years of either the use of molex kind of the other the it seems like serbia is always having to meet new conditions to become e.u. members the other candidates have to join nato what if they want me to join it to. go to serbia will never enter nato as this is the will of the majority of the serbian people and the e.u. will never impose this condition because serbia doesn't have any reason to enter i don't see any sense in its existence but if nato becomes an organization which together with the collective security treaty organization would fight against organized crime of the world then we would have participated in serbia is a small country surrounded by nato members there's no one serbia would start a war with we don't need nato to defend us we are militarily neutral and it will

stay like that forever are you ready to maintain a dialogue with pristina and with its leader touchy just as they are at the purgatory of the sort that i'm ready for dialogue but not with her tattoo because there are suspicions that he committed crimes against the serbian anything he cannot negotiate until the investigation of his case finishes but i will speak with other representatives after the bombing of serbia in one thousand nine hundred ninety we left nato in the territories if it worked we gave them civil and military power we have. ministration for communities in northern cause of over here and the e.u. has asked us to abolish these serbian institutions and we responded that we cannot do that because we have a university there are hospitals and schools and colleges oil i just follow the constitution and in serbia the president has its guarantor yours our constitution says that kosovo and metohija are parts of serbia ok do you believe that he possible to divide hasa by force in this case what would happen to the serbs living on the territory acquired by the albanians not to so so there's no good at this

moment and from the point of view of the constitutional it's not possible to and one of the citizens of serbia say yes in a referendum build i don't know but the syrians are really the outside these four communities as north depend on the christina case for when making a new lazies the international society especially the united nations should guarantee its absolute security and serbia should guarantee a good life that's something that serbia avoided a bit and i will do my best over the serbs in kosovo can leave from their work without waiting for assistance and depending on the institutions of pristina of you know because this would start the indirect recognition the loss of those independence of the poor or a sort of beard or that they were the booze. of the city is that in russia as well as in serbia you hear very often that the hague tribunal is unfair to the serbs do you plan to continue their cooperation with the tribe you know initiated by the democrats. have been the team leader who defended voice left shell and i struggled against carla del ponte a for many years even personally in strasbourg we

had a very difficult conversation in the presence of many parliamentarians of the european council the hague tribunal will exist until the situation in the world changes or people have been convicted their people are dying there but the tribunals have the support of all countries and so far no one has launched a process to stop it anyway it will be closed soon because there are only a few processes legged with and it will close in a fairly negative way for the global justice system or as the former president of serbia die. in that you have to the presidents of croatia and bosnia have not been convicted discrimination of the serbian people began long ago and today nothing has changed and segregation continues obviously it's not fair that the serbian government adopted them nor in cooperation with the hague tribunal we have to respect that norrin stand by it like we've enjoyed many injustices in this world we'll see what it was that that a. lot of thank you. thank you. my

services you know from just moving the ball making a right plays and i think during the first record was kind opener for me in the fourth that i was able to make some shots but you know russell said great. says it should do my job ferguson now staying on the hardwood finally waiting russia have their eyes set on a place in the upcoming london olympics their last chance of booking their next month a qualification tournament in venezuela. has more. russia's national basketball team needed to become first or second at the last year's european championship to get a straight ticket to the olympics but andrei kirilenko and his team mates finished the tournament just to play slower than their quiet clinching bromance against macedonia this means russia now has to take part in the qualifying event which starts on july the second even if. the first three teams will secure their place in london and head coach david block is confident his men can achieve their aim i

think we have a good team and i think we've proven that over the years. you know three teams out of twelve make it so i'm not a mathematician but that's twenty five percent chance right so hopefully will hopefully will make those chances a little bit better than that while preparing for the qualification event russia will play friendly games against macedonia greece lithuania and great britain will have a squad of seventeen players at his disposal however to play securely in harappa will join this cord later as the dual were given time off after a long club season while russia's experience guard sergei because will miss the tournament after picking up any injury sergei played a big role in all of the major competitions in the last seven years so his losses is a problem force but we have other talented players and other guys that have stepped in. to fill the position and hopefully they can they can do the job and driver and

save each is another doubt after he was taken to hospital with a spine injury earlier this week but despite these problems the team spears a high and everybody feels passionate to fulfil the task and book a place for london games is great no people happy to be here you know subpoena the training camp so we're excited are all still for us i guess you could say just excited to go out and so the. russia's first opponents in qualification will be south korea followed by the dominican republic while the final games are scheduled for july eighth and with the women's team already qualified for the olympics the men will certainly try to do their best to make them. out only ariens party moscow . well that is all the world of sport has to offer from now i'll be back in a little under two hours time to join me at.

you know how sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm sorry welcome to the big picture. wealthy british style is on hold so it's not on the front. of the. markets finance scandal find out what's really happening to the global economy for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines to name two crimes a report. with the end of the war and the going away of the soviet

union many people thought that nuclear weapons disappeared. the risk is not zero that something might be going off by mistake especially of nuclear weapons on hair trigger alert. but because of the difference to use it as a threat all as an extra bit but you know if you keep spinning a trillion dollars a year on weapons of actually you're going to blow everybody up you you know people are dying from these weapons but until we actually see it people don't wake up to nuclear weapons or a bill. that represents all of the firepower of the second world war and this second sound is the equivalent firepower of the world's nuclear arsenal today.
