9:30 am
. most of the the island is so small for me it's the center. the center of the universe. live in the sun i go to the island by motor boat that was in winter when lake freezes over i go by car from the town of all into this new i also skied there or went on for the island isn't very far from the lakeside about twelve kilometers which i've become so used to this route that it's the way home. you know the first time. it was long ago so long ago but it feels like yesterday it was nine hundred seventy two. i got married to alexander.
9:31 am
that we would go to spots company island for a honeymoon he wished we went there by boat the lake was perfectly calm and then i saw something incredible something with a book hanging in the air it was a miracle a real miracle. the bell tower was almost completely destroyed the island was overgrown with raspberries and stinging nettle we didn't have a lot of things with us just a one person canvas tent a blanket a couple of jackets two mugs two spoons and a teapot that's all we have but it didn't matter to me. it was about something else. it was all about alexander all these that ended i can't quite remember all of the listening i just watched him.
9:32 am
should be by that time we already had three children and alexander had a good job he was the head of a factory. i can't explain how it happened but at some point alexander quit his job he told us that he loved the factory and he did this without looking for a new job without thinking about the fact that he had a wife and three children. he didn't talk about it and i didn't dare ask. about that moment that none of us could have imagined that our lives were changing at that very moment but that they would take a completely new turn and it wasn't just us. that enough of a monastery was started on the island of the thirteenth century after the revolution of the twentieth century the monastery was closed and the cathedrals worn out of the island who just fill it no one but fishermen and hunters came here . spend the night and have a drink by the fire leaving trash and campfires all around it was like that until
9:33 am
the ninety's when two people decided to restore the monastery it's interesting to note that this want to stere wasn't downed by a monk but was it by a russian prince even have and it was brought back to life not by monks or priests but by regular people here. at the they were to alexander's ex alexander assault of an architect to. examine and alexander pleitgen an engineer. they met in the winter of one nine hundred ninety one good their. late one evening i opened the door of our house to find two slightly drunk men on the porch they were radiant with happiness and told me. we're going to restore the spas monastery they spent the whole make discussing everything to be honest there was nothing there to restore. if you just want to know
9:34 am
already by spring in may of ninety nine he wanted to be precise work. load of. everything god gave me i received. at first he told me to keep a diary of the island then at one point he brought a camera and said start filming or you will work on that. until i put it where it's meant to be. it was like a childish city full of adventure and delight. to land. close to god the building materials. when i talk to my father i used to ask him dad why are you doing all of this is this going to be our island what is this place where he would answer. i'm doing it for everybody.
9:35 am

9:36 am
decision. to stay or to leave. the service he was calm and peaceful. after a while he became self-confident he had absolutely nothing no prospects but he grew serene and steady and friendly. she became the owner of the owner and its guardians. so. what are we going to do with a motor boat for every heroes of the same thing by a one hundred years and it's like this and every year we start at the beginning. and never told them to go away or give up this war. of course i broke down that we
9:37 am
had no money absolutely not paying our oldest son the dixie went to college then he has to hide a piece of bread on top of the cupboard so he could take it with him in the morning . alexander would come home very quietly almost secretly and he would take some things in food from the cupboard. he would put it in his backpack and leave for the island this always made me cry i was in despair i told him please ask someone else to give you some food you can't keep taking everything from me i've got nothing. i cried a lot he would look at me and say nothing he never said anything harsh he never interrupted me when i said he just looked at me in the eye which made my heart feeling speed away and after that he would leave for the island. was going to the island company on a. new level of the city on carbon. all over do you live on the i wonder
9:38 am
did you visited our xander over you know we're working here we're restoring a thirteenth century monument we have a radio station. i wish you every success in your work goodbye. and if alexander was a great worker and a real man of the house he told us to always make use of each trip once you go to the island take a piece of board a branch of brick or stone it doesn't matter what everything will come in handy so . the more i worked the easier it became it's amazing when we started this i was much younger it was twenty years ago but it was very hard and difficult when i was really exhausted crossing the lake in winter was very tiresome you had to walk on this snow. well and you're going to get soaked.
9:39 am

9:44 am
has been seeing from the streets of canada. trying to corporations rule the day. this is all she will go to one of the top stories the u.n. general assembly in new york with a brazilian president's now taking the floor dolorous of her lip postponed a state visit to washington in protest over being allegedly spied on by the n.s.a. and let's listen in to what she has to say to say right now. which are photos of old speakers taken by the department of public information members obtain and we have to wait and requested to contact the fulton marbury of the united nations.
9:45 am

9:46 am
a country that is part and parcel of the caribbean but as you will and that is so dear to brazil and to a region at the helm if the proceedings of this session of the general assembly. great so i see you can certainly rely on the permanent support of the brazilian government may i also at the very beginning of my address. express the repudiation of the brazilian government and people to the recent terrorist attack that took place in the road on the floorboard yes i would like to come say our condolences as well as our solidarity to the. families of victims as well as the people and the government of kenya and you can terrorism wherever it may happen no matter where it comes from off on the actual always this hour and in the good skin color. nation as well as our firm determination to tackle we shall never compromise with barbaric acts of violence yes a president i wish to bring to the attention of attending delegations an issue
9:47 am
which i view and i was being utterly important and serious. point recently disclosed information my own and the activities carried out by a global network of alec tronics paul ryan has brought about anger and repudiation of past sectors and public opinion worldwide in brazil the situation was even more serious. as we brazil feature as a target of such an intrusion. citizens' personal data and information have been indiscriminately targeted and intercepted business information often times of high economic and even strategic value. have been the target of spying activity on big. boys while also communications by brazil and diplomatic representation offices including the permanent mission of brazil with
9:48 am
the united nations and even the various presidency of republic of brazil. for subject to interception of communications meddling in such a manner in the life and affairs of other countries is a breach of international law and as such it is an affront. to the principles that should otherwise govern relations among countries especially among friendly nations a country's sovereignty can never affirm itself to the detriment of in other countries suffer and. the right to security of a country's citizens can never be. and by violating the fundamental human and civil rights of another country's citizens even worse when private sector companies. if you uphold this type
9:49 am
of swine activity the argument that illegal interception of information and there is allegedly intended to protect nations against terrorism is untenable. it's a present brazil knows how to protect itself brazil this a president to repudiate brazil what do you want tackles and does not provide shelter to terrorist groups we are a democratic country surrounded by democratic peaceful countries that respect international law. we have being living in peace with her neighbors for more than one hundred forty years. like so many other latin america. i myself fought only firsthand basic is arbitrary behavior and censorship and i could therefore not possibly fail to uncompromisingly defend individual's right yes privacy and my country's sovereignty. without their right to privacy there
9:50 am
is no real freedom of speech or freedom of opinion and therefore there is no actual democracy. with respect to sovereignty there is no basis for proper relations among nations. what we have before us mr president is a serious case of violation of human rights and civil liberties like a case of invasion and capture of confidential secret information pertaining to business activity yes and above all a case of disrespect to national sovereignty the national sovereignty of my country we have let the us government know about our protest by demanding explanations apologies and guarantees that such acts procedures will never be repeated again friendly governments and societies that seek to consolidate a truly strategic partnership such as is our case cannot possibly allow.
9:51 am
recurring and illegal actions to go on as if they were normal ordinary practice such actions are totally unacceptable mr president brazil will further double its efforts. to equip itself with legislation technologies and the mechanisms that will protect this properly against evil legal interception of communications and data my administration will do everything within its reach and powers to the found human rights of all brazilians and to protect. or in the human rights of all citizens in the world while protecting the fruits of the engine is efforts of brazilian workers and corporations supporting the problem however goes beyond the bilateral relations of two countries it affects the international community itself and as such requires an answer from it. information and communications or telecommunications the colleges cannot become
9:52 am
a new battlefield among states. the time has come for us to foster the conditions required to prevent that is cyberspace. becoming wise or be instrumental in many pilate as the one weapon of war by men is a spying activities sabotage and attacks against the systems and the infrastructure is owned by third party countries the united nations organization should perform a leadership role in an effort to properly regulate the behavior of states regarding the us technologies and also consider the importance of that the internet and social networks as part of our efforts to build democracy worldwide for that reason mr vice president brazil will put forth proposals aimed at establishing a multilateral civil framework for internet governance and use as well as measures to ensure affective protection of the data and information trafficking through the internet but we must establish. and multilateral are mechanisms for the
