the global economy with much stronger or no holds barred look at the global financial headlines. again this is all see the headlines. accusations of more deadly carnage in syria rebels may encourage government troops of types of village in the hama province going to get these two hundred people while the regime blames almost terror groups such as the golan debates a new resolution to restore peace it's. also it's revealed that britain's olympic security is not up to speed just two weeks ahead of the games i'm displaying seems to drop to thousands of troops as private contractors have already been paid millions of pounds fails to have them all. groups in russia that are funded from abroad might soon have to declare themselves as foreign agents with

a problem and said to give its final approval district to monitoring the us as a pretext press concerned despite having almost identical legislation that's out of . his exclusive interview with parg wise ousted president fernando lugo so as the coup against him was an assault on the people's democracy. but up here mr president welcome to the program how do you feel about a recent events or what are people seen. 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 illness all

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 and jadick little girl like the one we see now that we saw what did you feel to be asked convincing in your resistance to the coup in those first hours and then i thought about what 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 up an aggravated once thing. national interest in peril while we resolve where the international community stops will and dance in paraguay is so closely there with the i believe it may be right of them 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 you know nervous or 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 marcus or even bill 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 regional 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. strange 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 and 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 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 you're a grise recognition is much more significant than that of any other country including the e.u. but for that i look at it so what are the media doing with their reporting what is the role of the media here and paralyzing a bit 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 why society reacting like they're sensitive here are just apathy that a. lot of them make that 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 kuiken. it it 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 marcus or expelled us if nothing's happened why has eunice 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 kill exposed to the keeble dated two thousand and nine from the us embassy in us and c. on to the us department of state that 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 here especially on the part of parliament as for this issue of plotting into 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 is a pinnacle of that some see. popular support for the foreigners for instance in agricultural security and to resist a parliament that was getting increasingly antagonistic if i let you think you missed. a chance to ease the tension is there anything you could have done better. 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 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 believe there failed to wabi 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. you see this problem has no

solution as long as the sea 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 by the way. i 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 ans 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 of 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 can you picture yourself as a twentieth or

a 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 that scenario is unlikely i believe i will have to take the political track and run for the press. didn't say. 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 at the end of the resident thank you for your time up there thank you and all of us.

l.z. stop story the song accusations a rule deadly carnage in syria rebels claimed pro-government troops at times a village in the whole of province killing at least two hundred people while the regime blames almost terror groups as the go on debates a new resolution to restore peace. states are videos that britain's olympic security is not up to speed just two weeks ahead of the games london's bake sales to draw ten thousands of troops as private contractors who have already been paid millions of pounds if they have them all. and groups in russia that are funded from abroad may soon have to declare themselves as foreign agents with parliament set to give its current approval to a stricter monitoring of the glass has been quick to express concern despite having almost identical legislation and so. on those headlines don't go away though as

it's all the latest from the world of sport with paul. thank you very much welcome along to the world of sports here is what's coming up climbing to the top frenchman pierre roland wins one of the toughest stages as the tour de france reaches the alps but it's a british one two at the top of the overall standings. on track of russia are gunning for gold as they reach the final of the speedway world championship in sweden. plus taking back the messick european and world titles are on the line as a huge weekend of kick boxing it's the russian capital. first though it was a good day for british cyclists during stage eleven of the tour de france teams guys bradley wiggins remains top of the overall standings while his teammate chris

froome has moved up to second and intriguing day of racing through the out sin one of the toughest stages of the tour defending champion condell evans who started the day in second place appeared determined to close the gap on the leader and attempted a breakaway with just over sixty kilometers to go however tactical racing from sky's michael roger is preventing him from making any headway evan slip further back is the finish line approached as fruit showed a burst of pace but with five kilometers to go he was instructed by his team to slow down so teammate wiggins could rejoin the peloton frenchmen pierre and eventual cross the line first but overall wiggins now has a lead of two minutes five seconds over his teammate italian chan's only barley his third with evans three minutes and nineteen seconds behind the leader heading into stage twelve. elsewhere russia can be crowned world champions in speedway this weekend they face sweden australia and denmark in saturday's world championship

final host sweden were guaranteed a place in the final while russia and australia had. also already qualified left poland great britain the czech republic and denmark to do battle for the remaining spots the danes led from the start winning six of the first seven hates meaning from defending champions poland was academic denmark secure in the fourth and final spot. now to the n.b.a. where the new york knicks have made a couple of offseason signings center marcus camby arrives on a sign and trade deal with the houston rockets while veteran point guard jason kidd leaves dallas as a free agent and the thirty nine year old saves part of his new role will be to help develop prodigious talent jeremy lin speaking right now without being able to talk to me and looking for male side is trying to teach him different gears be available he just plays that one here and it's a very high gear so for me he will sit down and talk about trying to find

a fourth poster here so that he has the energy this to finish ballgames and we want to play the whole season so we have just one gear is hard to play eighty two games football now when you talk to manager andre villas boas has made his second signing his spurs boss the portuguese snapping up for my act defending a on the tongue in the belgium international becoming the north london club second summer signing following midfielder gill fisa goodson's arrival from hoffenheim it's my first year you know it. today said today we're not everybody is very different for me and it will make a bit of it for what it is for me right now they're just what it is. great to have the privilege of. meanwhile english football icon david beckham may still have a significant role to play out this summer as an impacts even though he was overlooked for the british football team by managers to a pass rumors persist he could be the man to light the olympic flame at the opening ceremony. i've always said you know law and the torch in the stadium is something

that should be done by. and limpy and has been and done incredible things for our country and one gold meadows and i'm sure that decides. the way. meanwhile the london games will see every participating nation have female athletes competing for the very first time that's after saudi arabia made a reckon session by agreeing to send two women into action so that assets are battled out for a medal in the eight hundred meters after just making the final deadline compadre a judo competitor award john. carney would also bring her country glory in the seventy eight kilos weight category and brunei also didn't send any women into the two thousand and eight games in beijing but have changed their stance since then saudi female athletes up to now have not been allowed to compete in front of a mixed international audience. now the countdown has well and truly begun to the twenty thirteen summer university act which will be held in russia preparations for

student games which is the results of our salute now to gold where we are just six days away from the third major of the year the british open begins next week and that means there's a rather depleted turnout for the john deere classic stateside only sixteen of the top fifty players on the p.g.a. tour is money less to competing in illinois that provides an opportunity for someone to make a name for themselves american tory matterson has the lead after the first round he shot a ten under sixty one this wonderful approach shot setting up a birdie on the forty compared to at ricky barnes set the early pace this twenty foot part on seventeen helped him to seven under the group of seven other golfers a shot but. now moving to kick boxing where an open air tournament hits the russian capital for the night time on saturday many of russia's rising stars will go head to head with some of the world's best with four titles on the line for what i've done in previous the action.

he's the russian light welterweight championship there will be some old scores to settle with me to get out of going for a bench against you gave me coming in. in the eighty six kilos class rushes in will take on frenchman. bunny for the w five european champions belt. but with a minute in our starting my own a style is weak and strong points i just checked out a few videos of his fights and what he looks like els focus only on training. meanwhile the main event of the night will see a clash of heavyweights germany's daniel dirk is set to test one of russia's biggest kick boxing prospects. with a title on the line game plan will be to fight for pole from first wrong to the last round because of all the movement if he's a good fight it's a we respect this fight it's all very much and so the plan will be for paul first ran second wrong. very wrong for power so they said of the nine who show who's

training really pays off with an easy fight record but in their own party no skill region. and finally to tennis where fernando verdasco and alexander dog a ball of have reached the croatia open quarterfinals the top seed and tournament winner four years ago but asco face lovely and gold base the spaniard comfortably claimed the opening set six two but goal base for back in the second to send the match into a decider but asco successfully raised his game and cruised through for a six two three six six one when his next opponent will be russian andre was not so . alexander dog a pole of sand italy's fabio fognini packing ukrainian is the reigning champion and came through in seventy six minutes two breaks in the first set and one in the second allowed him to advance to the last date with
