this is r.t. time for the headlines now egyptians head back to the polls for the second round presidential vote with many angry at the choice they've been left and there's the mr is facing off against a remnant of the old regime which protests to say neither represents the revolution this ruling generals take over lawmaking of the parliament is barack judges. one day left until a pivotal greek election we'll look at the feeling among voters in the choices they're faced with greeks would decide whether to continue with severe austerity the choice which will split up the country's future in the u.s. . as u.n. observers say rising violence in syria is jeopardizing the peace plan and he speaks
4:31 am
to a christian not in the country who claims militants are staging riders to make them look like government killings. per serbia hopes to receive you approval later this year talks of the twenty seven nation bloc next speak to the seven embassador to the u.k. who talks about the new president on relations the e.u. which is key for 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
4:32 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 fair brought to the economic growth actual performance of serbia economy or perceived as on the statistics by the majority of voters
4:33 am
and that's the outcome what does president nicholas 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. his supporters was at these issues so majority of voters did accept that and what about relationships with the outside world is it is the new
4:34 am
president's victory a rejection of target rapprochement with the west i wouldn't say so namely the most 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 turned extent yes although the clear cut distinctions between a right and left us political arena were meant i wrote these really made namely there is a lot of left wing populists the rhetorically and some right oriented political
4:35 am
parties and vice versa but generally after four years of predominantly left oriented to government led by two social democratic parties like the democratic party. social this party of serbia. having a majority which is explaining itself it's something different to me 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 am content because of these the. that's. what policy shift do you expect to see in presently connected government when we speak about the policy is i think their economy would be. because as i said that was the only
4:36 am
important topic on the elections very tough decisions have to be made by the new government. in depth 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 austerity 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
4:37 am
who don't support austerity where it's moving towards things where you see how the 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 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 is first visit as president elect was made to russia what should we read into that is. it's my understanding that mr unequally 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
4:38 am
who termed it the congress of that political group so that was something which was prearranged before the election results and the whole show was the relevant to mr nicolle each is giving 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 to the west well yes i have a lot of examples. with such policies some very good friends with russia for instance bulgaria or creation. members who are becoming members of the u.
4:39 am
i don't see why shouldn't serbia. become a member of the european union provided all the conditional disarm at. the same time keep. 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 presently i said that he would never take on and the other is the recognition of cost of a. mistake next has already made it clear that if serbia 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 relations you cited namely the same formulation as were made by former president so be especially as somebody had adopted five six years ago. declaring the military you truly to have serbia.
4:40 am
within the present constellation is politically determined not to become the member of nato on the other hand serbia's 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 there were deep sort of 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. and it's denied that genocide take a cut in. the lawyer. as i told you in my previous life i was a professor or fall so. judgments off a court particular bearing in mind the international court of justice something
4:41 am
that top. per definition. the facts that are established i think at the 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 as it was defined by the international court of justice judgement as president nicholas now rejected that that is that what we should see and that you will have to talk to him not sure what 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.
4:42 am
has got to offer us given the debt crisis going on in your country but also the 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 prizes in the euro zone 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 and culturally serbia as all other countries in the region does belong
4:43 am
to this neighborhood the neighborhood that's integrated the european union we are speaking about the world for all we are speaking about the economic. environment that could be. providing incentives for foreign direct investments. increasing employment in serbia and solving the most important history of these two off on a 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 the comp complimentary value for the country like. so is aimed. towards having the best possible relations with russia
4:44 am
while keeping its european path open. president told that to president putin when he recently paid a visit to or to moscow. thank you very much you. wealthy british style. market why not. come to. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike's cancer for

4:46 am
thank you carrie how long welcomed this is for the arts are you with me rim on call fred and this gets our headlines right now. euro drop off france beats co-hosts ukraine to go to her group d. as england dravid to eliminate sweden from the competition. injury worries midfielder constantine's it on upsets alex russia's training session as sick of the cost men prepare for a vital match against greece. and mixed fortunes tiger woods moves into the joint lead but luke donald and laurie mcelroy missed the cuts at the us open. but football first and a spirited anglin side comes from behind to beat sweden three two in kiev and puts an end to their hopes of reaching the quarterfinals of the year olds once it's well for liverpool striker andy carroll broke the deadlock for the three lions with
4:47 am
a superb header midway through the first half but glen johnson failed to clear all of melbourne's goals as sweden levelled matters right after the interval before mellberg put the scandinavian side in front of ten minutes later but their joy was short lived at such issues theo walcott's equalize for england's just minutes later and the arsenal man so you turned provider as danny welbeck back will do what are called minutes from sime to give england their first ever competitive victory over the swedes. elsewhere a co-host ukraine have now left their future up to the last group stage match against england following it to an ill loss against in-form friends as kate partridge now reports. ukraine nella. while a big three running back things in ukraine sign over the same time champions would have seen them guys due to the quarterfinals on their european debut after coming back to beat sweden two won in game one that's off the full minutes the heavens linesman's to ridicule rain in the. that's fearing the entire stadium about my view
4:48 am
on the south the best bottom in our hands when the players did you imagine it was a first off a few chances in the second all was a long lively as time is not a campaign on sunday should 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 calls and just why they're on beat going to matches some fantastic midfield player found the feats of very many on the right hand side and he made one mistake finding my post the keeper on the left hand side and stimulation on fifty five minutes of the french maybe to no similar build up like this time karim benzema with a lethal final pass find a yellow hunk of mine he made no mistake to no seven as i said he did make a mistake he endeavored to hit the post for what i want with a keypad and ukraine couldn't find their way back into you know is how it finished france on beat no twenty three matches now with bullhorns while ukraine has three points in group d. but so looking very tight it's. ok partridge they're reporting from ukraine so
4:49 am
let's take a look quick look at how the table is shaping up in that group d. france that's but our head of england's goal difference with ukraine just a point behind which means that circumvents only did few times need to beat england in their final group game to reach the quarterfinals while sweden are already alex after losing both of their matches so for. now a team a rush up preparing for their final group a match against two thousand and four champions greece over in warsaw dika because it's mental at the quartet's and need just of points in order to make the next stage but one person who could be sitting the next match out is constantine is it out of her amidst the latest practice juta an illness or disease seem a russia correspondent richard about portrayed has more. russia's destiny is in their own hands as they take on greece on saturday with all the catholic outside needs as a draw in order to make the knockout stages and russia five themselves in
4:50 am
a great position of a moment but four points from the first two games i'm really sure that we will go through and we are very focused we must go on the peach and win the game we don't feel relaxed and we simply must win the next match it's a pretty simple thing and i'm sure we will play well dick advocaat 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 fairness 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 twenty nine year olds actually played very well as manager craig quite a number of opportunities from players like alan's or go and andrea shaaban so i did not really think he would drop of substitute bench roman pavlyuchenko replace him. you know i can't say too much about the lineups but cosy cause is a player who will take his opportunities and he can score a goal out of nothing even though he may not play that well he's
4:51 am
a player who can score goals and he's been doing that his whole career and he won't change a little bit at this moment in time he's not too happy about you come up against the greeks and lost two 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 so the two sides all know each other very well. yes it's true we didn't play that great in the second half against poland that had to do with losing the ball unnecessarily in that game but the first half was very good i thought it went too many chances for either team and in the second half played better so we will just have to improve as well but as i said russia's destiny is certainly in their own hands always needs a draw against a greek side but really failed to impress so far this tournament as they only have one point from the first two games and russia played to anything like their potential that should have no problem whatsoever in making the knockout stages richard pombo fleet r.t. warsaw. stay with football and villanova has been officially unveiled as

there won't be a massive overhaul like this one even though so far striker didier drogba and salomon kalou have left and even hazard and marion morrison have been brought in. because the nation that makes that we've lost a few players with 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 have been mixed fortunes for the top guns at the u.s. open as tiger woods grabbed a share of the lead but ranks a look donald and holder rory mcilroy missed the cut training by three shots behind surprise overnight leader michael thompson woods answered the second round with guns blazing as the former world number one birdie the third hole however three straight bogeys from the fifth density is challenging massively but the fourteenth major winner was able to recover from that as two more birdies on the back nine saw the american court at par seventy and move into the joint to stroke lead along with
