it's. just so. the two thousand. the older. fellow. it.

november two thousand and three are still very avenue in tbilisi people are protesting against and wish him a nod say demanding he steps down as president thirty five year old mcauliffe really storms the parliament he's wearing a bulletproof vest under his coat his supporters are holding brosius the revolution needed a symbol is really challenged the man who had supported and defended him this happens in politics a new page in history often starts with the trail. and your fellow. i-l. say it is a well thought out of course he was scared he didn't know what would happen. he had almost on bush by also was mostly concerned about himself and band result him that or still didn't care much about the safety of innocent people like a fool but. could

corrode georget shows in two thousand and three was covered with roses at first not a single shot was fired during this revolution the young leader came to power back then it seemed the u. . would never enter into the right perspective georgians practically worship saakashvili in two thousand and three and nine years later the same people took to the streets shouting misha. what happened to these people why did george i wish the west considered a beacon of democracy in the caucuses turned out to be a very different country why is this young leader hated by the majority of georgians now how has power to change the young reformers and ways georgia had it now.

now it's all vias to everybody that this was a scripted revolution that had a clear goal and the organizers use that method's that time it didn't seem to matter in november two thousand and three george it was going through a political spring the grace awakening hundreds of thousands of georgians took to the streets really believing that life would change for the better. the people didn't want to see old politicians in power they wanted young democrats may call second israeli genya and needle to denounce a full three of them were forced to stick together playing roles of loyalty members of the they had to establish this formal union because there was pressure from the people but they didn't really like each other didn't respect each other and knew

everything about each other when shevardnadze who basically raised this new generation of politicians gave up his power voluntarily but he warns georgians about possible danger. we shouldn't encourage these guys of you know their kids a bubble of anything. people close to really remember how he began his political career. he was a young man with a degree in international law from kiev's university of international affairs very friendly sociable and charming. but later it became obvious that he was unstable hyper emotional. patients. just wasn't one of his characteristics. and. there is a small country basically everybody knows everybody here knew that young mikhail saakashvili was from an educated family this is me said when he was

a little. biography scola leadership position in university in military service in the soviet border troops but after the fall of the soviet union sec is really got the chance to study abroad he did it with the help of his uncle a u.n. diplomat in ninety ninety five sexually returns to georgia with his dutch wife saundra rudolph's his friend. promised him a parliamentary seat as part of the union of citizen of georgia it is that those of the south interestingly enough some have never talked about the fact that he didn't just start his political career in this party but was even the leader of the parliamentary majority that supported shevardnadze. when he criticised as and his government in his public addresses never mentioned the fact that he himself used to be minister of justice and that government. to help his hand asking people to vote

for him but i feel. like. in this hyperactive young minister with his populist ideas george. no even the panther skin you haven't come down from the trees. over russia and still wear shoes. young. very important lesson at that time there are no friends in politics his thirst for power often scared even his own party members. will push he wants to be the leader and he will do anything for that position. literally anything in justifies the means. he often says to his close allies know this if i have to i will sacrifice my own mother who raised me by herself and that was true. nobody can

stand in my way but if you stand next to me i will never forget it you show anyone who joins my team will be duly rewarded. i'm a very sentimental person sentimental very often when i see sad movies. often cry i'm a very gentle person but i am forced to fight all the time. when he became president in two thousand and four and received all the power sex fairly started with some radical reforms. of the diplomatic academy so so since i was a was an advisor to the president at the time as a true georgian he is sitting at a table talking about those times he says that governing

a country is not as easy as making him colleague it takes knowledge and skills whereas really in his team just powered through the load a young team there for a few. former nurse came up with on realistic projects but they were rookies they thought the people support us. we have all the power what else do we need. second israelis first order of business was to file corrupt policemen and hire new people who had nothing to do with the old system for two months there were no police in. the police reform. is small miracle. i remember how cops used to stop my car and ask. would you donate to the police fund and they had to pay.

and then suddenly. we have police. who don't take bribes. former defense minister and former education minister of georgia dmitri says the georgian police reform was the most successful initiative in countries georgia was one of the most corrupt countries in the former u.s.s.r. and in nine years it was able to get rid of corruption. somehow it was able to get to the point where you can no longer be stopped by a cop asking for this country you can have your passport done in five minutes and you don't need to pay anybody. the georgian army was at an unprecedented rate at the same time the authorities didn't make a sequel to the georgian cannons would a match in case of war. with the army reform was based on the idea that russia was

our potential enemy. it was in armenia and azerbaijan or turkey or russia was a threat for us so preparing for a. warfare was among our tasks. the georgian armed forces were formed according to the western image at that time georgia set a world record by increasing its defense budget thirty times. having secured the us supports the un prison drastically in georgia westward he was moving towards withdrawing from the russian sphere of influence and integrating into naysay actually georgia had already made such a turn in the course of its history. georgia made his first attempt to withdrawing from russia's sphere of influence and finding a western patron in the early twentieth century after the collapse of the russian empire the mensheviks established the georgian democratic republic that when turkey

lawyer states invasion from the south the georgian authorities also germany to help them soon after that the german expedition we call landed in the ports of but to me . at the time europeans view dimension george as a bacon of democracy and past the end of liberalism and social justice according to the second international delegates who would often travel here to enjoy the local wine georgia became a civilised corner of asia. however the admiration of george just stopped when it became a soviet republic in one hundred twenty one. and. today they're talking about economic and cultural expansion in. some of them to me as areas are taken by talk certainty where they live and. all our major projects such as hotels are a turkish. other than the economic influence we're also dealing with

a demographic presence which is quite noticeable turkey looks at this matter somewhat differently if it. is an area where it has historical and political. it was he. really had one of the first expropriations of the loot the. property was returned to the state treasury price at that instance the young reform is dead only to seize property from the relatives and the. first his son in law. they are not authorized. the monthly debt georgian pensioners and teachers will be covered by this amount that had been transferred by shevardnadze is daughter from new york. in february two thousand and five the anti corruption struggle receded into the background in georgia were shocked when prime minister. this century the second man in the country died in mysterious circumstances.

mission free cretaceous free. just free. free. three stooges free. and free broadcast quality video for your media projects free media. on the money with the business of russia.

they're doing whatever they want in syria these days and even the obama administration can do nothing to rein the saudis in and i think the sad answer is that the united states doesn't have the power that it wants. it doesn't have the leverage that it wants tries to work through allies three international organizations and occasionally on a child and deal with the court of public opinion. the best america can but there are there is a lot in the toolbox right now there are many tools of. drugs some of the sixteen percent as you imports came from illegal fishing. the european union is ironically taking fish from some of the poorest nations on earth so this is a very serious and very urgent problem that needs immediate international action.

give birth to enter our territorial waters they fish they load the fish on to the ships and leave for europe. to day illegal fishing just taking the bread out of our mouths. and. with the bone in a freeze found and his friend raul you're so both in a rented apartment in this building. sorties and them says they died of combat monoxide poisoning were however they were discrepancies in the official version. what did i think of prince of the deceased were not discovered in the apartment i knew was missing one shoe the mysterious death of the prime minister spore numerous room is and theories you will get. in the morning the authorities

say the prime minister died monoxide poisoning because of a fold with. blood showed a mix of hemoglobin and carbon monoxide. will come from the concentration exceeded forty percent whereas a lethal dose for a human being is twenty percent. time i really was the lead independent forensic scientist in georgia the statement i made prior to the autopsy just boosted doubts . that it wasn't carbon monoxide poisoning the question is whether it really did happen in bed strange apartment but what they wanted to make it look like solid evidence but they failed. there were no fingerprints. those people were sitting there eating and drinking how come they didn't leave any fingerprints anywhere. of course it wasn't an accident. it was

a planned assassination. now eight years later the circumstances of. death still remain a mystery for the entire georgian society that society and the georgian authorities had to radically change by two thousand and five. national why of course it was an isolated governing system was began transforming into. the system decided not to investigate the prime minister's death. we believe it was an assassination it wasn't just a murder. nation. who openly expressed outrage towards the unprofessional investigation into the media personally experienced a change of atmosphere in the country when i woke up i saw a man standing in the door. she was wearing a black coat and a black mask and he was pointing

a machine gun at me and my. daughter. the first thing i said was please do not scare my child i thought there were some burglars thank you i said please take all my money but did not kill my child. and then they told me that i was accused of organizing a coup. i burst out with relief and said praise god. my was charged with nothing less than preparing for a coup de ta in the form of an armed insurgents. it wasn't even funny according to them i was going to bring several hundred people together arm them. and then assess the night i could. or should cause the internal affairs minister back then. and we know boys are not and then psych us through it as well when meyer admitted her guilt she was sentenced to probation and released from custody but that didn't make her life easier.

suddenly i was forced to admit something i wouldn't even dream off in my worst nightmare so since it doesn't have been living with it for six years now this is something i cannot tell anyone not even my daughter i couldn't even come down my daughter and tell her the truth. i felt like jews in a concentration camp who had to wear star marks for recognition so that i felt like i was bearing a mark in my home country which i loved so much. i was not like others i wasn't allowed to do anything i was allowed to stay alive and i was supposed to be thankful for that. oh if. it turns out however that the police reform had some downsides to arrest on charges of espionage will organize a coup were conducted on a large scale politically motivated trials for one another under the pretext of

fighting. corruption the authorities took away people's businesses the company was managed by a record really the president's loyal support. stolen money as you call it how large was the sum return to the budget. oh really in the last two months the sum reached about twenty million lowry or ten million dollars so the prosecutor comes up to him and says looking at you say you can pay seven million dollars and if you do we'll let you go if not you'll go to prison. back then according to those in the know there were cases of businessmen suddenly waking up in the middle of the night and voluntarily signing their property over to the states or officials loyal to sectors mainly. it was one of those who refused to do that a few years ago he owned a successful business in the oil industry. so our gas was in every gas pump in the country. they took away zones business and arrested his children to hold it

over him for persistent noncompliance all was sentenced to sixteen years in prison . i spent four years in prison there were twelve to go. near a petrolia is the head of one of the most reputed opinion poll companies he was the first one to disclose the results showing that in terms of people's trust george in place was second only to george's paycheck the second. no they don't take bribes anymore but here's the dilemma. would it be better if the police were corrupt but weren't protecting one single person in office. or is it better for them to be honest but at the same time spare no effort to keep such a party the united national movement in power personally i would prefer the former . polls conducted by truly is research center. sure that despite georgia's

democratic advances the standards of living in the country is still one of the lowest among the former soviet countries. the only things that about forty nine percent of georgians can afford to buy today are food and clothes. georgia's economy took a serious hit in two thousand and six the government sent the russian rhetoric this agricultural country its biggest export market the russian one. says my little cellar where i keep my wine break here. is a used to be considered the most successful businessman in georgia nicknamed the wind when russia imposed the embargo his company lost about eighty percent of its profits. many companies have gone bankrupt and many companies growth was stunted in the former soviet countries brand awareness of our products is high we need to

invest ten times more to generate such a levels of print awareness in the united states or europe today. to kids who served as a minister of economy and a second really believes the opposite that the embargo benefited georgia's developed economy as it prompted businessmen to search for new markets. in two thousand and five russia was george's number one trade partner and now it's in sixth place. and that's only because georgia didn't close its borders for russian goods that a lot of. the ordinary georgians who worked in the. because the embargo. was a tough it was is there of hope for the better with this well if we're able to export to russia again things will get better for sure. a little bit which.

israeli was busy terrorizing business and depriving the country of export markets the role of the democrats in the international arena he was putting on a show it was small free country struggling against. the show it was a success that made an impression on the west. when the e.u. official was plain in brussels he knew he was going to a young democracy which naturally would have some problems and who does and.

everyone makes mistakes but you know everyone makes mistakes principle has a negative side to it it can become an excuse for anything. george w. bush's visit to georgia in may two thousand and five was the high point of the charade aimed at convincing the audience of the triumph of democracy. then the american president called georgia a beacon of democracy sex really on his part swore allegiance to western values and named the road from the international airport to downtown tbilisi george w. bush the georgian president has always understood what it means to make a grand gesture. that's how. he was born to work in p.r. and create images that's the way his mind works i can say that because i am one of

the few people who knows him very well. it's a color of his tie wearing american army to inspect the troops or stage performances like when he valiantly drove russian peacekeepers from. he was walking and they were retreating before. of course they were he was the georgian president what were they supposed to do shoot him such things were carefully planned. thinking of. he always considered how his actions would look. for example inviting mccain and giving him a soviet made gun was heavy on symbolism since mccain served in vietnam and was shot down by soviet pilots. all over the world that's what he was trying to achieve through any means. before the circus really was to visit

a georgian town houses had to be painted in a rush the local citizens dressed up the conventions of the ruling party the united national movement for an exact replica of the republican conventions in the us. if we succeed this boy with an angel like face will be living in a completely different sure. but a lot of. money on the show before that that particular market are trying to monetize their flatulence that's the that's the economic growth in the u.k. they talk about g.d.p. annualizing at three percent growth but that's analyzing at nine percent growth and

higher if you put the debts that are off the balance sheet like on the bank of england back into the banks and that's compound at twenty percent a year so three percent a year in g.d.p. growth even though it doesn't even discount for the actual inflation number the fact is you can commies in negative territory they're living on party farts they're living on corny farts here that's their entire economic so-called growth. actually it's go back to libya because for all the criticism that you have about not. syria russia doesn't want to see syria explode everyone thinks it's russia trying to protect its friends geopolitical interests you know it's about a region could explode and explode in a really vicious. killing because we're not doing the old in a civil war is that your position.

doing nothing and only one hundred and. your. ok you you good you finish. line of peter all of. mine. the fact that the military practice any given moment. people you know doing. is basically like like a normal wrist that you actually drag somebody out of his house in the middle of the night don't differencies that the person that you are arresting is not really wanted for anything this is just for practice for training the soldiers now obviously one of the reasons that it's being done using older to actually train which is problematic but i would say that if you look at the whole. testimonies of hundreds of soldiers you will see that the main mission around. there the

palestinian society as a whole not just the gunmen men women and children everybody needs to be afraid of you because that creates effective control over the palestinian population. is on a journey to. one hundred twenty three days. through two hundred two cities of russia. really fourteen thousand people or sixty. those who kill him. in a record setting trip. here. on r t r cool.

another day and yet more damaging revelations the case communications head cool as documents revealed that he went to keep the mass surveillance program. also in the u.k. the prime minister failed to convince his european partners to cut back whole business red tape after reports the regulations of british taxpayers tens of billions of pounds a year. open in the us i'm over the real history but this is the first time for being a big player of the north pole i don't see crew follow. into the problem at night. which is.
