you know you're watching r t the headlines now egyptians head back to the polls for the second round of the presidential vote angry at having to choose between an islamist and a remnant of the old regime this as the ruling generals take over lawmaking the parliament is axed by mubarak era judges. one day left until a pivotal greek election which could decide if the country stays in the euro zone we look at the feeling amongst voters and the choices they're faced with. as u.n. observers say rising violence in syria is putting an end at risk r.t. speaks to a christian nun in the country who says militants are staging murders to make them look like government killings. serbia hopes to receive e.u.
12:31 am
approval later this year to open next session talks with a twenty seven nation bloc when next r.t. speaks to the server the ambassador to the u.k. who talks about the new president and relations with the e.u. which are key to serbia's future. today i'm talking to the serbian ambassador to the u.k. dan popovich the victory of the new president and former nationalist opposition leader thomas love nicolette surprised many outside ambassador popovich did it surprise you. to an extent yes it was actually the economy that was the topic the most important topic of the electoral campaign and the perception of the. general population was actually such that they were not
12:32 am
satisfied with the performances of the economy so. contrary to the perceptions of some service some. more important quote unquote issues like he'll perspective so serbia or course a war were not in the focus of the complain the economy was and so what was the social factors that led up to his victory would you say the unemployment rate is as high as twenty five percent and this is the most important factor that actually. the majority of. voters so given the environment which is actually globally are favorable to the economic growth actual performance of serbia's economy or perceived as honestly specs by the majority of voters
12:33 am
and that's the outcome what does present promise to bring to the table under these circumstances. his or tory was concentrated on the economic issues d facilitation of foreign investments improving of the. investment climate in the country and reduction in the corruption. scale us namely there is a perception among the voters there could auction still remains a major problem and this isn't by. he can reach and his supporters was at these issues so majority of voters did accept that and what about relationships with the outside world is is the new president's victory a rejection of target rapprochement with the west i wouldn't say so namely the most
12:34 am
important difference between the two thousand and eight and two thousand and eight toric of mystery college is his move towards the political central and positioning of his newly established serbian progressive party as a pro european the one we see across a movement towards the right wing and mr nicol it is traditionally a right wing politician is this part of that movement the thing turn extent yes although the clear cut distinctions between right and left in serbia us political arena warrant i wrote these really made. varies a lot off left wing populist the rhetorically in some right oriented political parties some by survivors but generally after four years of predominantly left
12:35 am
oriented to government led by two social democratic parties like the democratic party. social this party of serbia. we are having a majority which is explaining itself it's something different and does that make serbia sort of psychologically a part of europe in that it's subject to the same social trend i don't see so yes. there are trends that can be followed throughout the region not just in serbia and i'm content because of these the. that's. what policy shift do you expect to see in presently connections government when we speak about the policy is i think their economy would be. in focus because as i said that was the only important topic on the elections very tough decisions have to be made by the new
12:36 am
government. in dept and this is now high it exceeded forty five percent of the g.d.p. which is said to limit established by the law so there is very small room for additional. independence on the other hand the deficit is running high between four and five percent of g.d.p. and the. rate of growth which is actually just above the zero rate we do not have much room for more nervous but to enter into a very strict. domain of measures to be implemented in the months to come so in fact it seems as if the rest of europe if you like is moving away slightly from us tara see electing governments who don't support austerity where it's moving towards things where we see how the
12:37 am
new government would formulate its policies we also have to see the newly elected french government after the elections in june this year. change the course of the economy it is easy to talk against austerity but to implement an alternative scenarios something different we've talked a lot about europe but mr nicol it's his first visit as president elect was made to russia what should we read into that is. it's my understanding that mr nikolay in his capacity as the then president of serbian progress who party was invited to the congress of united russia party. or his party's sister party in russia to return to the congress of that political group so that was something which was
12:38 am
prearranged before the election results and the whole it shows the relevant to mr nicolle each is giving it to a different way so. i would like to. get through with russia they are already excellent relations and i think that there is another additional room for for improving these relations as a diplomat do you think it's possible as president necklet wishes to be a country with two duals one looking to the east and one into the west well yes i have a lot of examples. with such policies some very good friends of russia for instance bulgaria or creation. members or are becoming members of the u. i don't see why shouldn't serbia. become a member of the european union provided all the conditionalities i've met. in
12:39 am
the same time keep its relations with major economic partner as russia is anyhow you with russia are part of the us not the force there are stumbling blocks they want material. being a fully fledged member of the e.u. one of them is possibly nato membership which president nicolas says that he would never take on and the other is the recognition of cost of a. mistake and it has already made it clear that if there has to choose between recognizing cost of a on the e.u. then it can forget about the e.u. there is nothing new in the for the ratios you cited namely the same from relations were made by former president george h. so b. s. national assembly had adopted five six years ago. declaring the military you truly to have serbia. within the present constellation is
12:40 am
politically determined not to become the member of nato. constitution plame kosovo as a part of the country so no politician. disobey the basic principle is as stated in the constitution of the country he's already wrote the votes as well hasn't he already to undone some of the work that was done to restore relations with serbia's neighbors the leaders of croatia slovenia and both they have said they won't come to the inauguration. nic and it's denied that genocide take a cut in. the lawyer as i told you in my previous life i was professor paul so. judgments off a court particular bearing in mind the international court of justice are something that top. per definition. the facts that are established i
12:41 am
think that serbia's national parliament adopted two years ago the declaration condemning the crime that happened in srebrenica and that was committed against the most young muslims living there as it was defined by the international court of justice judgement as president nicholas now rejected that there is that what we should see and that you will have to talk to him not sure what how the things are now developing but. what i know is that the president also condemned the tragic. and serious crime enormous crime committed instead and we had this that as a mission of the national assembly of serbia what do you think the e.u. has got to offer us given the debt crisis going on in your country but also the
12:42 am
crisis going on inside the european union the e.u. has twenty seven member states and twenty eighth is preparing to enter the year two thousand and thirteen do not know of any that is trying to leave the european union. so there are some values that are inherited in the european union. are exceeding the present day problems the problem solve the recession the crisis in do you know. within three or four years we will have another set of problems send them the recession which is behind us so things are always changing but geographically politically culturally. as all other countries in the region does belong to this neighborhood the neighborhood that's integrated the european union we are
12:43 am
speaking about the world for all we are speaking about the economic. environment that could be. providing incentives for fourteen direct investments. aimed at increasing employment in serbia and solving the most important issue of these two off on the moment of thought or dimension if push came to shove which would be the more important relationship to separate one the one with the e.u. or the one with russia well i would again try not to. explain these relations as being contradictory to the contrary i think that they represent a comp complimentary value for the country like. is aimed. towards having the best possible relations with russia while
12:44 am
keeping its european path open. the president told that to president putin when he recently paid a visit to moscow. thank you very much thank you.
12:45 am
egyptians head back to the polls for the second round of the presidential vote many angry at the choice they've been left with between an islamist and a remnant of the old regime this as the ruling generals take over the making of the parliament is axed by ever judges. one day left until the pivotal greek election we look at the feeling amongst voters in the choices they're faced with. to decide whether they want to continue with severe austerity a choice which will spread out the country's future of the usa. as you and observers say rising politics in syria is jeopardizing their. party's speaks to a christian nun in the country claims the militants are staging murders to make government killings. because i'm on now the latest action from the world of sport.
12:46 am
thank you harry hello and welcome to visit sports an artsy with me with one cost driven that's gets your headlines right now. your old drama friends beats co-hosts ukraine to gold group d. as england's erratic to eliminate sweden from the competition. while injury worries me fielder constantine's it out upsets alge russia's training session as they come because men prepare for a vital match against greece. and the mixed fortunes tiger woods moves into the joint lead but look donald and rory mcilroy missed the cuts of the u.s. open. football first and a spirited england side comes from behind to beat sweden three two in kiev and put an end to their hopes of reaching the quarterfinals of the year olds went tits well
12:47 am
of liverpool striker andy carroll broke that love for the three lions with a super header midway through the first half but the blend johnson failed to clear all of their goal at sweden levelled matters right after the interval before mellberg put the scan maybe inside it in front of ten minutes later but their joy was short lived this is the oval equalise for england just minutes later and the arsenal man soon turned provider as any welbeck back he'll do whatever twelve minutes from slime to give angolans their first ever competitive victory over the speech. elsewhere called host ukraine have now let their future up to the last group stage match against england following at sunil loss against in-form friends kate partridge has more. ukraine nello. while a big three running back feels in ukraine signed by the same time champions would have seen them guys you to the quarterfinals on their european debut after coming
12:48 am
back to beat sweden to want to get a one well. off the full minutes the heaven's like things to ridicule raid in donetsk tearing the entire stadium at the bottom if you want to sell for the best bottom in our hands when the players did you imagine it was a first offer a few chances for the second off with a loan the liveliest does not accounting one hundred ship tank i went on i'm a zero on the left hand side of ukraine but he fired over the bar that was the cue that for the french to show that false and just why they're on beat going to matches some fantastic midfield player i found the speech of very many on the right hand side and he made my mistake finding my post the keeper on the left hand side managed to miss later on fifty five minutes of the french maybe to no similar build up like this time karim benzema with a lethal final pass on to young to mind he made no mistake to no time as i say he did make a mistake he endeavored to hit the post no one no one with the keypad and you trying couldn't find a way back and so you know is how it finished france on beat no twenty three
12:49 am
matches now with the winds while ukraine has three points in group d. but so we're looking very tight. so let's take a look at once again how the table is shaping up and that is group d. now and still thoughts of the blue are only ahead of england on goal difference with ukraine just a points behind which means the tournaments only take the taunts need to beat england in their final group game to reach that sort of finals while sweden are already out after losing both of their matches so for. now team russia are preparing for their final group a match against two thousand and four champions greece over in the war so they can because men stop the quartet's and need just a point in order to make the next stage but one person who could be sitting the next match out is constantine's it out of her miss the laces fractious jutes an illness are seem russia correspondent richard been portrayed as more. russia's destiny is in their own hands as they take on greece on saturday will hold the kava
12:50 am
count side needs as a draw in order to make the knockout stages and russia fighting solves a great position of a moment of four points from the first two games. you really should. leave the reader to really go on the beach in the windies game we don't feel really we simply must we think it is it is to do. and to be sure that we will play a very good game because the count is likely to stick with the same side that has played in the first two games against poland and the czech republic and in all her famous russians i was even playing quite well while the only real concern is about alexander cares a carbon attack and he's in pittsburgh strikers had ten attempts on goal but is yet to hit a target so far in this tournament and his failure to find that will certainly be a concern nevertheless the twenty nine year olds actually played very well his manager craig quite a number of opportunities from players like alan's or go and andrea shaaban so i
12:51 am
did not really think he would drop to the substitute bench. if. i can see too much of. it. is basically was going to take this opportunity so. you can see it in the things that even though we may not be the real. reason it is clear so we could change. this moment in time it's not so happy about it or a shot you come up against the greeks and lost to european championships and of war on both occasions last actual meeting between the two sides was actually just seven months ago in athens when the two sides played out of one one draw sides will know each other very well. it's true. we can play a great or even split into. two which is interesting in their game to get to the first and it was really good it's not a nice. girl who went to beach and sister. in the second
12:52 am
one did a lot better and we just simply have to get better but as i said russia's destiny is suddenly in their own hands always need is a draw or against a greek side but really failed to impress so far this tournament as i only have one point from the first two games of russia played to anything like their potential should have no problem whatsoever and making the knockout stages. more so. and stay with football and tito vilanova has been officially unveiled as a new barcelona coach shatter siding at so your deal with the council inside the forty two year old steps after assisting former barsa boss that gordie all up the pair steer the club to a staggering fourteen sizes out of the possible nineteen over the past four years before doherty all called it a day at the end of the season last month so villanova has a tall order to follow but he is not intimidated by the formidable task.
12:53 am
of the world i'm not worried about any possible comparisons between quota and myself i will just try to do much as well and it will give you just as much time as it did when i was an assistant coach because i gave my all you can before so i'm not worried about it and you personally. elsewhere new chelsea boss roberto di matteo says he doesn't expect a huge influx of players at stamford bridge this summer demoiselles signed it's a year deal with the club this week on the back of a successful stance as interim boss which saw him win the champions league but says there won't be a massive overhaul of his squad even though so far strikers didier drogba and salomon kalou have left and even hazard and marion morrison have been brought in. your conversation that makes that we've lost a few players beef tea and the contact and we've already signed the couple of new players sent to them be a little bit of a change but i don't think it will be a complete overhaul of this one. golf now and there has been mixed fortunes for the
12:54 am
guns at the u.s. open as tiger woods grabbed a share of the lead along with fellow americans jim furyk and david toms but top ranked luke donald and holder or a mcelroy missed the cuts but both are saying i. just couldn't get a feel for the greens to reduce the speed. and you know if i did a little bit better yes you know kind of ground school today you know maybe. somewhere decently play so we can but it wasn't to be and i'm trying to learn from it and come back stronger next time you know what i'm just trying to see the positives of it all you know. i do see positives or see. them give myself chances and. feel like i had some good putts that just didn't go in. modern. you know all of a sudden it all turned you know in. a good tournament or couple good runs
12:55 am
