region there are specific fears about what's al qaeda and terrorist groups may be trying to do in the region a that they may be trying to gain higher positions within new government structures there and b. that they may find it easier to try and get their hands on weapons of mass destruction which would create a very dangerous situation indeed specific to russia he talked about the reported sightings of north caucasus terrorists operating in the region and gaining valuable experience there and he talked about a new strategy that of a thousand stabs being employed lots of little attacks and mr born a cop says that the e.u. wildfires that have caused such problems recently may have been started by terrorists citing a web site encouraging terrorists to try and cause as much damage as possible by doing things like lighting fires which require very little imports those are the

investor confidence and the humanitarian tragedy i mean there is an enormous public outrage right now in spain as there is in greece as there is in portugal and if these people were allowed to decide on their own future they would not through the path of the u.s. forcing them down right now so what you're seeing is a repetition of what we've seen for the past twenty or thirty years what's happened in the developing world is that international lenders through international institutions actually cancel the sovereignty of nation states in order to ensure full repayment of the debt i think everything that they're trying to do ultimately is met by financial market panic and what they're not seeing is that you cannot beat the financial markets unless you're willing to take a stand and say that we repudiate part of that and we move on and we set our own priorities. britain may be a few years away yet from the next general election but the battle lines are already being drawn the labor party leader ed miliband used a keynote speech to try and sway voters can see himself as the champion of the

restore order. the georgian dream coalition is planning a clean sweep through parliament and top of his wish list is getting the country's lame duck leader mikhail saakashvili to step aside the president's new decade of undisputed rain hit the buffers when the opposition bloc sealed victory in the parliamentary election a few days ago from tbilisi his alexia's u.f.c. . it felt as if georgia had won the football world cup thousands in the streets celebrated the surprising win by the opposition and despite fears the ruling regime may somehow hamper this triumph soon their worries were swept aside by the president himself. it is evident that the georgian dream coalition has secured a majority this means this parliamentary majority has to form the next government for us at least for me the views of this coalition were fundamentally unacceptable and still remain so. just six months ago an opposition win was deemed impossible

12:23 pm
you have a situation where the new parliamentary majority wants to investigate abuse it could well produce a crisis full of his close associates so they could not only have lost the election but they could face serious legal complications the georgia dream bards the leader and possibly the next prime minister because anybody really has already made his position clear. this man's ideology has established a crime of violence and torture it would be good if he submitted his resignation rather than now starting various procedures to force him to resign. it was not only the prison tape scandal which brought these fortress of power down say experts corruption among elites daunting poverty and playing hardball with russia all contributed but for now georgia is welcoming any new era hoping for a fresh start georgia's history is rich with different sorts of bloody cold it does
