you're watching our t.v. here is a recap of all the headlines u.n. observers in syria suspended to images because it was leaking blood and. to devise the pentagon's claims that a russian military called a ship carrying weapons and sent to syria. egypt's word says in the final round of presidential election but many are disenchanted with the choice between an islamist and moderate prime minister. and the thousands of italians much abuse cuts in rome while the eurozone future hangs in the balance with greeks us that boys will decide as a country states. next time will be looking at the challenges as serbia's new

president is facing in a special interview coming up next here on state. today i am talking to the serbian ambassador to the u.k. a day on popovich victory over the new president and former nationalist opposition leader thomas surprised many outside i'm just a couple of which 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 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 performances of serbia economy or perceived as on the statistics by the majority of voters and that's the outcome what does present mcclish 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 this 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 it is the new 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 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 do you think turn extent yes although the clear cut distinctions between right and left in serbia us political arena warrant i wrote these really made. there is a lot of left wing populists the rhetorically and some right oriented political 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 and socialists 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'm 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 connected government when we speak about the policies i think their economy would be. because as i said that was the only important topic on the lections very tough decisions have to be made by the new government. in depth and this is now 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 of the 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 terracini electing governments who don't support austerity whereas it's moving towards things where we 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 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 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 with russia for instance bulgaria or creation. are 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 conditional disarm at. 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 mechanist has that he would never take on and the also 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 formulation as you cited namely the same formulation as were made by former president so b s national assembly had adopted five six years ago. declaring the military you truly to have serbia. within the present constellation is politically determined not to become the member of nato on the other hand. situation 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 often they come 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 something that top. per definition. the facts that are established i think that. 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 rejects it back then 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 ice and 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 crisis going on inside the european union the e.u. has now 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 problems of 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 culturally. as all other countries in the region does belong to this neighborhood the neighborhood that's integrated in the european union we're 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 and 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. is aimed. towards having the best possible relations with russia while keeping its european path open. president told that toward president putin when he left with the recently paid

a visit store to moscow and bust up oh it's thank you very much thank you. so. much.

you when i was in syria suspending every two years because of the escalating violence i mean almost that denies the pentagon's claims that a russian military cargo ship is carrying weapons and troops to syria. egypt votes in the final round of presidential election but maybe are this in tandem with the choice between its levis and require its former prime minister. and thousands of italians in march against cards in rome are the ones fate hangs in the balance and with greece are set to go to the polls to term and the future of the single currency. and now a sports update with entry. followed

a welcome to the sport these are the headlines heartbreak for russia who crash out of the european championships after a one zero defeat to greece reached the quarter finals against all the odds. while the czechs also make the last eight after beating poland one nil. class song grass world number three roger federer beat russian mico usually to reach the final of the gerry open but first russia of the european championships they failed to qualify for the quarter finals after losing one nil against greece in warsaw that scoreline enough to send the russians home after the czech republic beat poland one nil in the other getting to secure top spot in group a watching the russian heart break with rigid poor flicked. russian service has been twelve in championships offer an incentive to display against greece well the

greeks have one thing that they want to do not just offended numbers and try and get russia on the counter-attack i mean play a big game plan work around some treat on the sort of half time in spain in the russian defense a liar and an onus for you run a mile if they haven't been shot from the back of an attempt to get the greeks but they need russia hundred played badly but they didn't play well and even they just were unable to create anything in attack to be honest i'm not one major major problem the longer game went on rush of enforcement for the greece defensive play was just sort of the fun times that they gave russian no to spain one so whatever and then you really have to get credit for greeks the way they played and they were able to hold on to the tourney and russian and go i was of atonement for the czech republic they were able to beat poland by a goal to nil. really really depressing things really for the russian player tom had started so well but unfortunately they are now out of the storm and raining so

green. as a result tell me again why. well russia's fate sealed effectively them by the czech republic poland one they were to claim top spot in the growing three year the church with the goal in that one and joining them in the quarter finals of grace who against all the odds progress to finish second they started the day bottom of the table while russia worktops but if they're not the russians they were through to the next round. meanwhile germany have said they will have to be careful against denmark on saturday despite needing only a draw to finish top of group b. the germans held their final training session in live on saturday deciding to hold it away from the arena live in order to preserve the pitch lukas podolski is set to earn his hundred caps for his country and the germans want to make sure the occasion also marks their passage to the last eight but despite topping the table they can still go out of the competition defeat by more than one goal against the

danes and victory for portugal over the netherlands would send them home early. to help those computers or two months and i have a feeling the team recognise immediately that we haven't qualified yet if you look at the different possibilities you find out that it can happen quite quickly that we could still go out and have to be careful against denmark despite the fact that we played very dominant until now and we beat the teams that were the hardest opponents on paper holland in portugal. or germany are one of the hot favorites at this year's european championships but they haven't enjoyed an entirely happy can't buy munich start only cruz has told newspapers he's not satisfied with being a substitute and has only played a total of twelve minutes in the eighteen games against the portugal against portugal and the netherlands but general manager all of a bit off the night such comments have unsettled the squad. does enjoy the most is that often i think the most important thing is that this is not transferred to the

team it will always be like this in the tournament we've played two games now and there will be unhappy comments from players that come up on the one hand you. ask yourself is it really necessary on the other hand i'm quite happy that i'm satisfied and they're not thinking i'm happy to be here and just spend time it's important that the manager trusts them and that you always make sure to them that they are the chosen ones or. what have a little look at growing bayport to play the netherlands in the of again on saturday there are many possible permutations the biggest thing to say at the moment is that all four teams can still reach the quarter finals and a draw for germany in portugal would be enough to send them through. elsewhere italy could be without their star striker mario balotelli for their last game against ireland on monday the manchester city forward injured his nature in training and is being assessed ahead of their must win match against the irish meanwhile italy's coach scoffed at conspiracy theories surrounding the last games

ingroup say even if italy win on monday they would still be knocked out if spain incorporation played at a high scoring trough that result would sink those two sides both would progress to the last eight bases or plan that they had this to say to the conspiracy theorists . the forty acres agreed and i really have a hard time listening to these debates with you i really do you know that's not the way i see things you're but we're talking about the champions of both world cup and euro it team which over the westin use energy in the whole world with their game and with their contagious enthusiasm everybody wants to copy this team in a way should be the thinking they want to see with this kid we have a problem here we really do if we think we want to cheat. to prove his point spain of also stress the only aim is to be the founder out be all laughed at suggestions there could be an agreement between the sides and said his team wanted to finish on top of groups a. a lot of those there to do is a result is

a possible result just like one needle or any other what is clear is that we're going with the educated to win the game as always italy will have to win their game and creation alike will go out to him there will be no agreement that is stupid and each team will go to the field thinking of weaning the game and not defending from others. meanwhile ireland have described their exit from the euros as heartbreaking they're preparing to meet italy and it determined to avoid a three straight or three straight to face at the tournament but it midday you are a dream has been well and truly shattered. it's a pregnancy a dream to go and play in the championships and there were. people who thought about it just sort of. so it. was more to. you want to do well you know we haven't. played against him to arrive and it's hard to set. our best at the moment as you can see him.

elsewhere three for president sepp blatter says he has no doubts brazil will host a successful world cup in twenty six states the football chief is currently in europe why and gay there the manager of the national team asked to borrow as an order of merit medal for his achievements in football but blatter also said that despite the construction and infrastructure problems brazil has faced it will be ready to host football's biggest told. brazil will organize an exception world cup it is a country that at the moment ranks number six as an economic power it cannot fails we are aware of some problems but we are in this together and as i've said we will continue working hand by hand this isn't far because in football hands should not be used but the method of hands is complete trust in the brazilian or been ization to prepare the world cup. good good work was elsewhere to take villanova has been

officially unveiled at the new barcelona coach after signing a two year deal with the cattle and side the forty two year old steps up after assisting former boss the boss pep guardiola pestered the club to a staggering fourteen titles out of the possible nineteen over the past four years before guardiola accorded a date at the end of the season last month so villanova has a tall order to follow but he is not intimidated by the familial task. of the war i'm not too worried about any possible comparisons between what all in myself i will just try to do my job well and it will give you just as much time as i did when i was an assistant coach because i give my all you can before so i'm not worried about any comparisons to them enough. away from football and roger federer has reached his first final on grass this season he thrashed russia's mikhail youzhny in straight sets at the jerry webber open to set up a showdown with tommy haas federer made this one look simple taking the first set six games to one and then having a little trouble in the second winning that six four for the match federer has now

beaten usually in all thirteen of them made things. probably they face more resilience from the local favorite tommy haas the german winning his semi against philipp kohlschreiber in straight sets seven five seven six. motorsport hunder either. has grabbed his first pole position he'll start at the front of the grid for sunday's british grand prix the spaniard fastest in qualifying in a rain swept silverstone track it was just over three seconds faster than american ben spies while defending champion caisson stone was the quickest championship later you're going to rennes i will start from fourth trouble for nicky hayden he crashed out i'm a starting seven quality katty teammate valentino rossi also i tumbled in similar circumstances but recovered to claim tenth spot.

i won they want to make two more i will do so nor do they make condition where a little bit difficult because rain coming. i going. to wait for two more race see what we do whether we have just pushed them actually move so i do do do make. i'll try to stay again here to morrow and a reminder of our top story russia have been knocked out of the european championships after losing one nil to greece that is the sport for now the weather is coming up next. well from the fukushima it's technology innovation all the rest of elements from around russia we've got the huge earth covered.

more news today volunteers once again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. trying to operations around the day.
