the old picture of today's news. on demand from around the globe. up to. fifty. a different georgia was built in front of the very. nature was dismissed and the president personally approved the new construction. hole shaped like giant pipes they were erected in tbilisi ruining the historical parts of the city it's clear that the georgian authorities were keen on pushing for substance besides the capital the president experimented on the city of but to me several point just skyscrapers were built. philly regarded everything is personal villa he got on his private jet landed here and then threw parties with lots of

girlfriends the boulevard was closed off of course this is outrageous this was the case not just in but to me. to believe the two. combined a passion for western ways with. majority of georgians speak or understand the russian language and the history of every family is linked with russia and all of a sudden to think that anything russian is bad. or drop from curriculum in schools movies from television a new generation of georgians grew up not knowing a single. we don't get to speak russian often. there is much more practice in english. to be looking for the cause of this hatred to anything russian demonstrated by

second. seems strange because they were all born and grew up and. we're always looking for some philosophic roots for these phenomena. it's so you ask why well there's a simple reason they link their career their wellbeing their future their own only with the west but not with the interests of georgia. the establishment specifically the former ruling elite or extreme rusa photo ops. when you pray they even show contempt or through the georgian king cowley to home plate books. well ordinary people feel russians are closer to us than europeans.

in every georgian village people still remember the times of the soviet union with nostalgia it was a time when russians and georges lived together in peace and visited each other regularly of course it's the older generation that still has these memories of that so did you watch the old soviet movie father of a soldier you plow the land first and then you sow the seeds likewise first comes russia and then europe we should lose russia those who lived in those times who saw what it was like back then want to get back to the old ways. of the young people don't understand it they didn't live back then. they can only get this experience from us. of a needs has worked his whole life is a pot make to produce to sell in russia hundreds of wine pots so you need georgian pans can't see he now lives from hand to mouth he will use does go to russia to sell apples or whatever and they are in their income this way now they don't want

us anymore they don't let us ordinary people are struggling looking for whatever food they can come across. time is passing us by. we never had any democracy don't trust those talking heads on the television. no dorry says that young people sometimes came from russian lessons but he complains that he doesn't speak as well as before. everyone wants to chat in russian. if. they want to learn it it's much more difficult to do it now. it was in november two thousand and seven when the top down system of power built by me. showed its real face for the first time the authorities launched a heavy crackdown on opposition protests attended by tens of thousands of georgian

people hit the streets to demand that the president resigns. the army and the police that were formed by. prove their allegiance by shooting at people with bullets and threatening them with battle. at the very avenue. they celebrated the revolution embraces saakashvili beat us up he opened fire on us ordinary georgians it was for the first time the georgians saw that the nation they voted into power in two thousand and three could be a different man altogether any government that goes against its own people will end up in jail saakashvili will also end up in jail by then the president's closest defense minister. became an exiled. me should you have made a big mistake you will go down in history as georgia's most corrupt president. the government put down the brutality of the army and the police to the simple allegation that the protests were treated by the kremlin the rules which was

supposed to convince the nation really had no other choice that he had to defend democracy it was a trigger which in georgia. why do. the international community keep quiet. after such a cynical and brutal crackdown by the police. why. really managed to convince many in the west. it was an operation planned by russia's main intelligence directorate and the federal security service or the kremlin or all of them together. everyone was waiting for the onslaught of the russian tanks. but i think that we were going to raise the red flag. in november of two thousand and seven also showed that the democratic authorities were going to welcome any criticism from the journalists t.v. station he made he was the first victim of the new regime. i see them entering our office they are about to break into the studio something terrifying is going on i

hope they won't use force so here they are about to get into a studio goodbye and. that was the evening when george's highs for the freedom of speech were crushed since then the media space has been exclusively pro president. not a single component of democracy was functional in those times elections were not fair courts were and show. this situation in the mass media was disastrous. t.v. networks could not broadcast to a nationwide audience unless they played to the tune of the saakashvili. really called an early presidential election in january two thousand and eight so to say face is main contended this time was the. leader of the opposition the lines

. that was a dirty campaign with heavy mudslinging directed at me and at the united opposition our purpose was to bring down a dictatorship because that was a task. dictatorship we won the election and january fifth two thousand and eight the election commission unlawfully named second believe the victor and then the bush administration later and later russia back to. within less than a year the georgians would approve the outcome of that election. you won't need real we shall keep on fighting russia hasn't just invaded some country in the caucasus with its tanks it is invaded europe georgia is the forefront of a word against evil the just two thousand and eight came is annoying i know for many georgia suffered a humiliating defeat and its people learned the bitter taste of fear and the casualties that could have been avoided. on top of that the west never came to the

rescue is really had hoped they would and the georgians had a chance to glimpse their presence valor in action that's were. that was a shameful scene that i can neither forget not forgive to this day. deserves to be put in prison for the events of two thousand and eight alone and the choice will be even if we were told. the fultz on that issue to lead us to a disaster and cause our country to be split up but that calls for punishment doesn't it. the georgian government propaganda machine works day and night shaping the narrative of the moral it has served his purpose the georgian public is convinced that russia has occupied it because he and south was set by recognizing their independence

today five years on the hopes in tbilisi still cannot stomach defeat. more than go to you can see skin vaal as a last battle but the war. is far from over eighteen percent of our territory is under occupation. by the war will continue until georgia's territorial integrity is restored. album who should always remember as winston churchill famously said you would have to be naive to believe that russia respects anything but force. russia could have imposed harsh sanctions against georgia in the wake of the war but didn't when the reasons for that was the fact that there are about a million ethnic georgians living in russia they've done their best to support their relatives in georgia. regular georgians appreciate that age. was more than sure jin public. has learned no lessons from

the conflict with russia in two thousand and eight the. faith in the might of the west. the idea that the west will come to our rescue has become an article of faith george's political elite. fighting in the georgian government launched a witch hunt to find someone to blame for the defeat. of the end of the war general tristen. and one hundred fifty army officers were arrested and charged with high treason. was personally introduced to the comforts of a georgian place when they woke me up in the dead of night and took me to some decrypted building one of them is through a gun and said shoot you if you don't sign this. i told them we'll shoot me then i won't sign this because it's all fiction then they took my children hostage my son

was ten and my daughter fourteen years old. they would walk into our cells and say plainly you'll rot here afraid the rest of your life. really has been formally recognized as a political prisoner he made no difference to the georgian government whether a suspect was an active duty general or a military advice that with the georgian mission to nato. spend several years working on behalf of his country at the nato headquarters in brussels that helped him a little once he was charged with espionage. he spent almost four years in detention . they maintain that i had been spying for. russia the cia a the british intelligence service the french intelligence oh yes an al qaeda apparently through doku a motto of. if

you leave with the economic downturn in the final. days to do your sang night and the rest of life during the case you'll be every week. right on the same. search trip. and i think that you're. on our reporters' twitter. instagram.

b m o o. o. n o c n n the m s n b c news have taken some slightly but the fact is i admire their commitment to cover all sides of the story just in case one of them happens to be accurate. that was funny but it's closer to the truth from the might think. it's because one full attention in the mainstream media works side by side the joke is actually on here the kind of come. out are teen years we have a different approach to the fellow because the news of the world just is not this funny i'm not laughing dammit i'm not. ok.

you guys talk to the jokes will handle the same stuff that i got. the west did assist your once the war was over they extended credit and dispatched teams to build settlements for the new displaced refugees the village of a baby was arrested by a german construction team several rows of thin walls similar looking cause just the village lies within walking distance of symbolic those are our mountains and beyond the misery land we used to have everything there good houses our own gardens sure we have to buy everything. the walls are rotting away no one has supported us in all this time the government what good is it it was them who brought this upon us if not for them we would be fine now. now has an ailing mother

a brother and sister who have stayed behind. she has never seen them in five years refugees have been stuck away from their native villages strangers in the eyes of locals the only hope these people might see is the hope of going home one day that we will return. when. when if not us our children will come home. will be so it must be good to. understand a mother. i don't want to stay here i want to be home. and i miss my family i have met with my sister and but i cannot see my brother and i want to meet my mom who is sick my friends and schoolmates. my teachers and my neighbors say that this war was a mistake we need to make peace with this otherwise we will never get any better. the war of two thousand and eight georgia's political elites away from brusha for

good at the same time he really became something of a pariah for the international community. to years no european nation would welcome the president of georgia. for an official visit he was seen as a disappointment even by the americans who took to calling him a loser behind his back this and he provides more russian phobia and jingoism from the georgian leader. more sympathy it is false patriotism is the last resort of scoundrels sure and i just wish he found himself in this role and he exploited it in every possible way the boonies with the store schmick some which is huge he used it to assert himself beyond limits feasting on it it would be pointless to look for any rational reasons here. the woman mourning coats a c for the fallen georgians of world war two was the first to fall victim to the new policy. on the ballot was the moment rio was over there all over by that tree

with them. today there are any seventy two war veteran still alive in could see see his really how it was and concerned about the memory of that war all the veterans opinion. three hundred thousand died in the war one hundred twenty three of them were heroes of the soviet union it's a sign of utter disrespect i don't think anything one except for fascists could have done such a thing. but it turns out there was no other place in georgia to build a new parliament. it looks like a trudeau sort of a. lot of us flowed. out of.

all its. two thousand and twelve was a critical year for georgia a new political figure appeared been seen. ivanishvili. com for the revolution of the roses this billionaire supported the young democrats and first he says he spent almost a billion dollars on their initiatives but he became disillusioned with second israeli and in recent years he distanced himself from politics and was mostly involved with charities to the now has the largest cathedral in georgia. its construction was funded by ivanishvili essentially been seen and banish really was the only person with enough money and power to china. on october the first two thousand and twelve georgians used their want to fight. says that during sec israelis rule georgians experience the biggest since world war

two. in the last nine years almost three hundred thousand people have had some experience with georgia's penitentiary system they were either imprisoned or came in contact with the system in some other way. our people have never been traumatized like this before. we are this poorest but the safest country but we paid an extremely high price for our safety. georgia has the highest number of prisoners per capita. lists of political prisoners longer than those in north korea. these facts are backed by european observers. people in georgia say that just ahead of the election many was swayed by footage of torture and abuse in georgian prisons by local television.

indignation for stronger than anger people voted for a vanished released blog if it weren't for ivanishvili i think it would have been a. ninety one we would have started shooting at each other it's all because of me pushed it too hard on people. because of the three young reformers who emerged out of the revolution of roses and stood for a political spring just one is a major player in politics. now calls mikhail saakashvili puzzle enemy. and yes the yup of course i realized i was an enemy for him says it in your mirror but unfortunately i wasn't lucky in my enemy didn't prove to be worth fighting. cross the red line he put pressure on my family and my children but what's more important is what he has done to my country. shows a charge featuring second israelis approval rating over the past years today it's as low as one of eduard shevardnadze in two thousand and three when he was

basically blamed for anything that was wrong in the country history repeats itself . gives you an idea of the evolution of approval ratings of mr saakashvili it was as high as seventy three percent in two thousand and four when he came to power with triumph. and here's august two thousand and thirteen with just fourteen percent. according to an elite said the leader of the parliamentary majority campaign manager of the blocs nominate the ruling coalition will not repeat mistakes. i spent my political career in the opposition. and i remember what kind of methods were used against it i will not allow the use of these methods against the opposition ever again. relations with russia is getting more and more complicated the ruling party led by event really says it's ready segment eyes were brushed but indicates it will not happen overnight i

haven't been to russia for ten years. and i don't speak russian very well now. well not. only but i will speak russian. we are fully prepared to revive our friendship with the russian federation. we realize that it will be difficult. i hope that russia will feel the same way about georgia. together with his supporters cockup indicated say is now writing a book called two hundred years of occupation according to him georgia never wants to be part of the russian empire he says such sentiment is still present in. abkhazia and south of our part of georgia. i hope that georgians will never elect a government that would follow a different policy. different political reality. through

russia and georgia have what we call red lines and unfortunately these red lines cross we are not so much concerned about visas or mineral water or wine exports to russia we are more concerned about our territorial integrity about the skin vell district this is our concern. ultimately only mean a. campaign saying she knows how to negotiate with. true we are in a dead end unfortunately. but there is always a way out. yeah i like it as a motorist you would agree with me that sometimes in order to move forward along the route if you need to back down then to make a u. turn or a left or right turn and then you're on the right track again when you ready italy

. i think we must do it this. the past nine years that we're trumpeted by second really as the time of democratic reforms actually lived invade the unemployment rate remains very high standing at more than forty percent. but even i mean to be honest little has changed for us politicians fighting for power and advantages that still what it used to be. the residents of the old tbilisi tired of the experiments of the regime the election is seen as a new hope for the better they don't even want to talk about cycles really he's been consigned to the past. we don't need the old president enough is enough here thinks about his pocket and no one thinks about the people.

but also for the time being no one in georgia knows what policy the new authorities are going to take but most georgians have learned one lesson from the presidency of seconds really there's so much between georgians are russian spies and you can destroy a relationship that spans many centuries with just one strike as people in tbilisi say georgia cannot relocate itself into space to some other continent russians and georgians abounds and live together forever regardless of the name of the possible future president drew up is that young back.

two years after the force ouster of gadhafi by nato forces libya stands at the abyss the lack of a strong central government weak rule of law and endless violence in a country awash with weapons has resulted in libya facing a failed state status add to this the presence of islamic militants can things get any worse in libya. the olympic torch is on its epic journey to such. one hundred twenty three days. through two thousand one hundred two cities of russia. relayed by fourteen thousand people or sixty five thousand coming. in a record setting trip by land air sea an outer space. a limp a torch relay. on r t r two dot com. there's a media leave us so we leave the media by the soon potions to cure. for your party
