hello and welcome to our team it's half past the hour and these are your top stories a u.n. convoy comes under fire in what appears to be a rebel held area and syria while washington considers injecting paltz of money into the opposition with. fresh reports say millions of dollars aimed at training locals to maintain security in iraq and restoring infrastructure in afghanistan are going to waste as critics attack plans to send u.s. police in across unstable regions of the world. and russian police get closer to

solving the shocking mystery of more than two hundred human fetuses discovered in the woods with the source revealed as a state institution. next up on our t.r. interview with the russian envoy for human rights constantine the gulf who says the norms of international law around the world leave much to be desired. thank us. was. accurate. consenting freshened foreign ministries and words from human rights democracy and the rule of law it's great to have you with us again sir hello and good emotion is to be back next the arab spring has upset the balance of power in north africa and the middle east who witnessed islamist movements come to power across the region some are moderate but also the rise of radical islamism is

evident what threat do these radicals represent well first of all. called arab spring. a process which probably reflects certain objective phenomena in the in the region that was the movement which pretty much from within. are all of us lee there was certain external participation i would say or even some certain external prodding in those cases where the changes came from within stability in those cases in those countries is basically kept and we face fewer immediate dangers as far as extremism is concerned as far as the security there all of those countries and all of the joining regions is concerned. it is definitely different when. certain transformations certain political

changes being pushed from the outside then it's a different picture and. we keep reiterating that it's not only russia's view that you cannot bring about democracy from the i'll say democracy to become the result of the certain internal processes if we take for instance this issue which is which falls within my purview of my mandate the situation in the field of human rights and democratic development and rule of law. yes you are absolutely right the picture is not black and white and. we cannot say that. that human rights being insured. absolutely better. in the.

certain countries of the region where the arab spring has occurred. it's still a long way it's still a long way let's take for instance i mean pretty much all of them but let's take for instance libya let's take for a little when you talk about better like our human rights ensured at all when we were better off before the need to live in nation or now i don't know what will the new government in libya do you know the elections and. when i see the new government there is a. government and you are thought to use they expressed their willingness to build the democratic libya to build libya which will live here to the basic human rights and democratic freedoms which is positive it's a long way and the picture once again is pretty much mixed because what we see now is unfortunately the violations of human rights to be to continue.

in the way it is a result of the military conflict which raised in the country but still future is ahead of this country and we hope that this future will be democratic we hope that human rights. in their you know in their entirety will be ensured for both the libyans and for the citizens of other countries what's going on with the team and to russian language serving their sentence in libya well i'm not a lawyer. i'm not sure whether this term serving their sentence is absolutely right because they have been sentenced. one of them to life time in prison another one to ten years in prison and we have expressed. our assessment of the of the sentences but i think there are too harsh that they absolutely do not deserve such punishment and we think that the legal and.

legal processes have been faulted and have been flawed and. oh. the situation is that. the the lawyers and the russian embassy as with the russians has been very much supporting those efforts have appealed we hope that these sentences will be reviewed seriously reviewed we. strongly encourage the libyan authorities to. provide for all the basic rights. of our citizens in accordance with international standards. remains to bring our citizens back home talking about bringing citizens back to russia victor boot is one example of how what he has defendants say is

a criminal case invented by the united states just to remind our viewers a picture of what is a russian business and who was arrested kidnapped by the u.s. drug enforcement administration and sentenced to twenty five years in prison to serve in the united states and russia's foreign ministry has said many times that it would try to restore justice what's going to happen there do you think well the same goal we we are undertaking all necessary efforts to bring i was it isn't back home where yes indeed we think that the sentence is unjust we think that the entire legal process. process which led to their sentence was absolutely political from beginning to em. political or politicized maybe you both the goal remains the same. we keep raising the issue of mr wood or

some other similar cases. also russian citizen who also has been has been. a else a pilot who had been excavated. to the united states and. i would. he also has been sent as i think the twenty years when you say it was a political case what exactly do you mean like america versus rochelle what you know the reason lot of hollywood is in the in the story of mr bush i mean. i don't mean only that famous movie a lot of the war you know which we fortunately also became effector in the which must not happen. in the last year but but you know he was sentenced for as it was for intentions you know for inventions to can mean something illegal in the use of in the eyes of the american system of justice what

we've seen is of course lack of. objective and impartial. legalistic approach one more issue we keep pushing the american authorities. to ensure. you mean conditions for our citizens in prison it is not good. russian citizens in american prisons being deprived of medical assistance for us unfortunately we had to raise this issue more than once with the americans both mr bush and mr africa. you know all the blood is still in the one of the federal prisons and he is in a special cell for. the most. dangerous criminals he definitely does not in his present condition. in particular he does

not represent any. clear and present danger to the security of the united states president obama promised to close down guantanamo bay and one russian citizen is also serving a sentence in that prison but he hasn't been able to do that so far do you think it will be easier for him to accomplish if he's re-elected well there is still some time before the elections. i don't want to speculate about the upcoming american elections who will win and what will happen you know it's definitely the will of the american people but. this particular. problem is a good big you know in the you want reds domain because that particular prism is a very special institution and no norms of international law. be it international or international humanitarian law or you know they are not respected there is like

a legal way cuba you know which one is going to suddenly or you used to be whether it will be difficult by the income of the ministration and some people say the chances are slim. but they are still there if there is a will is they say there is a way. or it will be tackled by the next administration and whatever the administration will be you know but it is to be tackled it is to be there because these. are. resolved human rights problem just very briefly i want to get back to where we started talking about the arab revolutions syria is a lot lately and if we observe. what happened and how things happened in countries like egypt tunisia libya all those arab countries that underwent revolutions what lessons are there to building for the syrian scenario

you know i will stick to the humanitarian field the main lesson. is the following the best way to prevent new casualties among the civilian population among the civilians the best way to ensure in the long term manner. respect for human rights respect for human dignity. definitely to stop till it is as soon as possible use to strike and begin full fledge it national political dialogue. all constructive political forces began three definitely to happen without external interference civilians are the first to suffer we saw it in libya unfortunately where quite a number of civilians perished including under the nato strikes including under nato they did and it is still to be investigated by the way. which has not

happened. including by the national criminal court because the russian foreign minister is and was for human rights democracy and the rule of law thank you very much for this interview a little may thank you. thank .

it's.

a u.n. convoy comes under fire and what appears to be a rebel held area and syria by washington considers injecting pots of money into the opposition. fresh reports saying millions of dollars aimed at training locals to maintain security in iraq and restoring infrastructure in afghanistan are going to waste as critics attack the plans to send u.s. money supply. so unstable regions of the world. and russian police get closer to solving the shopping mystery of more than two hundred human fetuses discovered in the woods but the source revealed as a state institution. and now it armand brings you the latest sports.

hello and welcome and this is sport on our team would be a problem calls for of london olympics and the rest of the headlines up first. met at sac team russia secure their second gold at the olympic games and again it's in judo. two goals in two games and they give it all for remains the only score for today the chechen side played their first big story of the season against krasnodar . from green to reality russia's first ever professional motorsport track is tried out for the first time. and let's start with that's why it's well the london olympics where there's been an other gold in judo for russia on day three with the details from london here's agra farmer so i want to start for russia we've only had three days of competition sorry

far but russia have been amongst the medals for the third day running saying have got a second go at it came from montreal is the live in the seventy three kilogram category he beat japan's world champion ricky in a car in the final a man he hadn't beaten in six previous attempts and he did it with the yukon and that effectively means he threw his opponent on the side that happened in the final minutes of this five minute contest a true olympic champion he came into this contest ranked number four but he blew away a house to big names including senator kerry's key chung wang in the semifinal much to the delight of russia's judo loving president vladimir putin but of course no one is more delighted than is die if himself. still ahead has sold game plan for the clash my coach told me oh i had to do it was crucial to neutralize my opponent's stronger hand and prevent him from doing any effective moves. also ahead

to boy. it worked out. so joy for him but there was pain in the pool for russia and this is who came fourth in the hundred metres backstroke final she was second at the turn but lost out on the bronze medal to japan's i attend a coward american missy franklin got the gold with. claiming the silver there's also more heartbreak for you're female her hopes went without trace in the hundred meters breaststroke coming in seventh after coming forth in beijing with the way his teenage insatiate routinely taking the gold and india is a dwarf could not add to the bronze he got in sunday's relay finishing down the field in the two hundred metres freestyle that was won by france's agnel gani favorite ryan lochte was fourth well there was better news for russia's handball and basketball teams the women in those events both keeping the one hundred percent record at these games with two wins from two incidentally the russian prime minister dmitri medvedev kissing every member of the house after their victory over

great britain russia's men know in the artistic you know six didn't do you say well they didn't pick up a medal in the team final however the women do have a chance to shine in that event on tuesday with more is richard on monday wasn't the best of afternoons for russia's male gymnasts but failed to get on the podium in the team event however on tuesday you had tension turns to russia's women's gymnastics team as well try and fight it out for a medal weathers a lot of expectations on them and rightly so they managed to qualify in second place fourteen point zero which will take place on the tuesday after a couple of names which are well worth looking out for including victoria. she managed to finish in first place overall for him because the cation period also earlier mustafa washes russia's team leader and best gymnasts for countries produced perhaps in years both has been difficult for half an hour she's just come back from a very serious. injury nevertheless former russian juvenile steeliness imo she's

backing of the russian team to do well on tuesday and try and bring home a medal but. you know leo is going through some hard times right now she was and she actually still is a leader but the young generation is catching up with her but she has to bush has to give up she's a fighter and i'm sure she'll be fine. for the honor of a swimming pool where russia just one bronze to show for verified so far but they'll be looking to a certain improved balance on tuesday and first of all the want to. be going in women's two hundred metres freestyle well but will be a very difficult task for her to try and get on the podium but perhaps much more is going to be explained to the russia's four by two hundred freestyle relay team well back in beijing in two thousand and eight they managed to claim a silver one just a few days ago the men's four by one hundred metres freestyle relay team they managed to claim a bronze in a lot of expectation on them but there you could try and bring home

a would be russia's second medal in the pool so far also over a few chances in the archery well if you remember just a few days ago russia the women's team they were on the brink of a medal in the team competition but just missed out on points and getting a final in just two points on getting a bronze medal so will be seen you can manage to get a medal in the individual events and voters had a bit more luck commerce side couple of ovens house to tell you about where russia might have outside chances once in the mines for oil fencing and the men's judo where russia have done very well so far winning two gold medals and also just. completing the volleyball they got off to a great start with her first match for bell be taking on brazil her favorites really to win gold two thousand and twelve london olympics so this will be a great test for the russian side who are ranked second in the world kind of a you can get a win over there perennial foes the brazilians that's going to bode well for the

rest of the. elements and their hopes of trying to claim the men's volleyball gold medal so this is fast becoming one of the best of a start to on him to explore russia and president putin is jews who arrived in london in a couple of days' time so let's hope the russian team can keep that medals tally ticking over until the end andrew farmer. london. and reformer and richard portrait there from a long time let's move on to russian football now word today girls they have claimed their first win this season after beating f.c. crosstabs are one nil on home pitch it. was men just eighteen minutes to secure the victory or lead given all headed home his second goal in just as many games so far this season and it stayed one mail as to how long for the win there are now in the standings with four points while across the door or in seventh with three. elsewhere australia midfielder team cahill has become the latest international

ago few dram to moscow would have its very own world class more a sports wreck today even a month ago you could heal new workers here and the quickest car was nowhere near formula one levels but the dream finally came true and high octane action has found its home on the outskirts of the moscow region make an impact in international motor sport now a very real possibility for russia the building of the track began in two thousand and eight with a total cost to reaching one hundred fifty million dollars when it comes to it wants to get the best track money can buy they call herrmann toolkit the global renowned architect who's designed numerous f one tracks around the world it's a very technical track you have one part also talk is. a half is slow and very very tricky if you push too hard then you go a little bit over the limit then you know is

a lot of time and you have to have in mind that the combination of you don't need to concentrate on the car you are in now you have to concentrate also on the next. five to four years of planning and many more years of dreaming russia finally has its own motor sports track to help with us now that the racers can develop their skills in their own countries and maybe even for straight their way into the f one race. one man already did their off into when it's in the rework orkut became the first russian to make it into the sport's top and loans securing his first podium finish at the season opening a straddling ground pre the following season and after two years bella tran are the twenty seven year old driver now races with get around f one. action in the circle. better than percy was. i think they make it was ok but

all the focus is the thought of michael it's quiet no is no bump in the sand yeah but it's it's quite difficult you know it's it's a lot of low speed color second or third here and it's really difficult to find out a fix in the corner if one is for another day however the rana world series taking center stage this week not only was the first franchise to test the track it also hosted the first over international motor sport event in russia. saying that. that isn't. such a short time. tried where you can accept formula one just like the small prime russia is already set to join their foreign calendar in twenty fourteen it's another circuit in the winter olympic of such a however the moscow raceway should prove a solid plan b.
