it's technology innovations all the developments around russia. the future. for. the threatened widespread opposition the country's been isolated by other south american nations. just a few seconds to other headlines before saudi arabia deploys additional troops to its eastern region of. continues to rise more protests planned the deaths of two activists. and the un peace envoy to syria the security council to take. the. position of consequences. for the calls but no relief to the common people who

continue suffering from a lengthy. interview with president . but up here mr president welcome to the program how do you feel about a recent events or what are people seen him. i would first like to say hello to your audience i'm happy to see the international press interested in the events in paraguay the parliamentary koon the paraguayan people who resist it we have all lost here as parliamentary coote disrupted the democratic process in the country and made it lose as well as the whole region it distressed mercosur and. paraguayans are outraged some say there was no coup because of zero violence and no tanks on the streets indeed it was nothing like a military coup of the one nine hundred seventy s. and one nine hundred eighty s.

but it was a grave violation of law if a president who was elected constitutionally by a majority of votes gets illegally ousted that really made the people angry but i think that mr president right after you were voted out of office you spoke as if you were resigning of your own accord he also looked as if you weren't quite sure so later we saw him more an inch at a cool girl like the one we see now at the movies so why did you feel to be asked convincing in your resistance to the coup in those first hours. up in the end i saw people out in the square they wanted me to go because of the ministers i knew that a new massacre was being prepared i am a convicted pacifist i didn't want to see any paraguayan lose their blood as a result of violence that's why we went along with this illegal and unfair process it was a politically charged trial disguised as a constitutional process as one m.p. said it all looked like a circus designed to depose

a democratically elected president what do you think about media accusations that are circulating speaking out against vice president federico franco taking over what do you agree with the situation make that aggravate and once. international interest in peril while we resolve for the international community stop swollen events in paraguay so closely. i believe it may be right and presently it's not only the international media that watch paraguay closely but so do international organizations we can definitely say that today in our country there is prosecution on political and ideological grounds on monday the european commission and organization of american states will arrive in our country we're also asking eunice nerka sore and other international organizations to participate in the process of restoring democracy in paraguay this isn't just about the april twenty thirty election this is also about getting equal opportunities and eliminating censorship and persecution for ideological and political reasons that are taking place in our

country now with as you mentioned the regional blocs sewer and marcos or even though federico franco who are you please to declare that he was going to rebut the paraguayans expulsion from microsoft it looks like those groups leaders who we agree on this will make their difficult for him what consequences of the long term expulsion from their original blocs do you foresee or. we wouldn't want to see those consequences there's a widespread saying that innocent people pay for the transgressions of sinners isn't that true we wouldn't want to see economic sanctions or economic blockade have a negative impact on the lives of common people who export their bananas pineapples and oranges to europe why and argentina they will be the ones who end up hurt the most therefore we disagree with the economic blockade of paraguay but we do support sanctions against these serious violations and that's why paraguay is expulsion

from mirka sort of and even if so as a sanction against the political forces that staged the coup i'd like to ask you firstly what do you think about the role of the organization of american states and secondly in your view. what were the objectives of the e.u. countries such as spin germany and france when they are recognised federico franco is take over almost immediately and gore says restraint fact is that most nearby states in the region don't recognize it i believe it's much more important as there are such countries as vatican city in taiwan but what's the political weight of places like vatican city or thai well how can you compare twenty three foreign states with the political weight of argentina brazil or euro quietly our neighbors and brotherly states with whom we've been maintaining commercial diplomatic and political relations in the morning what is the position of the church in this matter mean for you as a bill of rights. i believe that in politics reality is the most important aspect

of the vatican's decision may well be symbolic but as i've said it has no real weight from the diplomatic commercial cultural and political viewpoints even compared to a country as small as europe why he organized recognition is much more significant than that of any other country including the e.u. but for that i look at that so what are the media doing with their reporting what is the role of the media here and para why because of that i mean one thing which drew our attention here in our city on is that the political situation in the countries that are being talked about much you know why in society you were reacting like this as it is here just apathy that a. lot of them made to them the fact of the matter is they don't like to talk about such events and most of the media here the main thing is that nothing has happened according to the media all is quiet there are no rallies no deaths no blood because i the president and the legitimately elected government don't want them so.

therefore it's important for the media to reflect the truth what's going on here now is a disruption of the democratic process and the people will forget this if there are things that are never forgotten just because nothing is said about them i think this parliamentary coupe. committed on the twenty first and twenty second of june this year will not be forgotten by the people because the coup is etched in their minds their personal history and the history of civil society and as they say if nothing has happened why has mergesort expelled us if nothing's happened why has yunus or expelled us if nothing's happened and everything's all right why is the european union sending a commission to our country the organization of american states held an extraordinary meeting and a commission they've come here from that organization so it can't be so that nothing has happened something very serious has happened here a serious violation a parliamentary cuckoo a coup d'etat when the president elected according to the constitution by a majority of votes was impeached overnight and he will go in a week in twenty

a woman we kulaks posted a keeble dated two thousand and nine from the us embassy in us and c. on to the us department of state it contained rumors about opposition plans to topple you through parliament and to hand power to federico franco were you aware of this document. but oh no i wasn't aware of the document that was published in twenty eleven but i've said that parliament talked about a political trial for me twenty three times in all these years i always insist that the key merit of our government is that it didn't give up in view of these threats of political trials you especially on the part of parliament as for this issue of plotting and expulsion i keep saying that politicians will never forgive the fact that a toad of unknown origin such as fernando lugo who comes from neither the political elite nor from traditional political parties or just out of his obligation to the people took their place they belong to them as politicians the chair of the lopez dynasty at the seat of government it again with

a benign court that some see could have drawn popular support for the foreigners for instance in agriculture i want to ensure security of it to resist a parliament that was getting increasingly antagonistic do you think you mean. a chance to ease the tension here is there anything you could have done. for the young that i don't think so but this parliament is dominated by traditionalists conservatives and right wing it and even if jesus christ shows up out of the blue and tells them to change their mind they were right we were sabotaged all the way the parliament gave us a budget with a deficit of eight hundred billion dollars so firms were in short supply for everything and when the chaco flood propelled a deep crisis they asked us for fifty billion dollars for their politicians mind you these politicians are members of political parties who get paid for nothing you know so we said no that was the straw that broke the camel's back. but what about the long standing problem of for land ownership the whole of eighty two percent of

the territories owned by only two percent of the population in the revamping agriculture was one of your election played too soon or something you strongly believed in. you know what so who wields the real power in a barrel why. in the. letter the country's land ownership structure defines its economic structure and with the same parliament whoever brings this question up will end up just like me today depends to an extent on executive power but it's the judiciary that sets the chief. the right to land is within the realm of the judiciary paraguayan is four hundred six thousand square kilometers large but if you take all the rights to land together its square mass will exceed five hundred twenty nine thousand square kilometers it's the judiciary the ground's rights to possess land that already has two or three owners the. problem has no solution as long as the scene people remain in parliament but when you change the situation

through democratic elections or war there are fundamental flaws in paraguay's border call system and better way. i'd say both the constitutional system is flawed our constitution was drafted in one thousand nine hundred two after the fall of a thirty five year long dictatorship and we handed the bulk of powers over from president to parliament but now it's parliament that has the most political clout and the use of ants have proven it indeed we submitted two claims on breach of the constitution to the supremes court but they were never published because parliament blocked them in other words parliament is used to threatening and blackmail is an argument against other branches of power but on the one last question mr president frank i promised he would not run for presidency in the april elections now he says he will step down by august the fifteenth will president lugo all come back through a democratic election and you picture yourself as a twenty three team candidate but i think. there are a number of ways out including legal and political as for the legal track we've

initiated proceedings on constitutional violations the court has handed it over to the prosecutor's office should the court rule i return i will immediately take office but this scenario is unlikely i believe i will have to take the political track and run for the press. one wish they can tell me i've already been president and can only be reelected after one term in power in accordance with the constitution where there's a will there's a way if you want to keep a person from running for office because he's a people's favorite and therefore a serious rival that there are lots of legal tricks to do that. but if you have been a resident lugo thank you for your time up there thank you and all oh yes. one needs of spare time to obtain inner peace and spirituality.

around we concentrate on diving archon gregorian report. the last decade in diving so cheney's athletes go from strength to strength both immense in women's competition at their home olympics games in beijing four years ago they clinched gold in seven categories out of possible eight the rest of the world led by a russian divers that's left to wonder just how they could break the monopoly last year's swimmer in the world championships further evidence of the eastern dominance of the chain are sweeping the opposition winning gold in every single discipline. we try to be objective we should admit that to match china in this sport in the near future is virtually impossible our athletes can beat them in this or that discipline because they're still human and they can also make a mistake but in general i don't think anybody can challenge china. but support and olympic sport in particular is where the unexpected does happen and of course russia's diving team will be just tourists in their upcoming trip to london two
