i don't see how european countries who are member of the european union can solve the problem without leaving the european union so it's obvious that countries like great britain or france you named francis specially with increasing poverty in my opinion they have a difficult they have a difficult time to solve these problems but i think at least they should rearrange the principle rules of free movement of persons and improve the system. carlos welcome to french kept so i've come to the salt sea because the fifty one billion dollars price tag has got nearly as much attention as the games themselves so let's just recap on some of those costs for you for the most expensive olympic games in history because it wasn't just solely for sports an entire city was built

as you can see just behind me i'm talking entire row it's built from scratch. our parts and this is all to be used for decades to come and according to president vladimir putin the price of the sochi olympics itself is a much more modest six point five billion so that would be the stadium and pretty much everything. news have been specifically built to meet the facade as they can be used again for the twenty eighteen world cup so i've come back a was hit in september to see how the business side of the proceedings has. this is where the journey begins the airports of course where all the world leaders the athletes it's terrorists make their way for the best tsotsi experience it's all about first impressions that's exactly why four hundred million u.s. dollars was spent getting this at force up to international standards it was russian billionaire i got a pass company basic elements that forked out the money and told us have

a look as you can see it's pure indulgence and a bit of luxury on the go because some champagne of course as you would expect in the business lounge you can also have a cheeky massage oil waiting for your plane and i spoke to leonardo. i also about the money being spent on the money being made. i want to know have the planes been full to capacity. essentially what we see during the olympic games is something kristie mount from the business aviation you know normal life we were here fifteen airplanes but they. are normal there's about sixty and if you can we have up to one from the two inches in terms of profit you've made more than you imagined to do so is out. there we expect it was here a pretty decent for and then shal results of a disadvantage because the demand is much further than we expected to can you put a number on that. no we haven't counted that's been a big games everybody will count all the positive and negative things we'll see for rules against you but what about off the words how we're going to keep those planes

full to the brim of people do you think the government can do more to make things like visas easier so that people are enthused to come here you know we're discussing with the russian invasion several initiatives one of them is much easier . in russia and the second one is open there they've been aware of more planes easier for them to fly and also moscow but there to promote their flights so that's number one the search. come on there people normally go somebody when they want to go show you feel good this year we're going to be in the dream it's a primer of international sorts of summertime in a row before more one. one hundred forty thousand people have been making their way to sochi over the last three weeks and for the local cafes the balsa restaurants what it means a lot of disposable income and as you can see the crowds have arrived to say they're all talking a and well it's a lot more money facilities to put it is ok it's. just. the sort you see represents

a huge business opportunity for the local economy and it's been completely transformed behind me here you can see the old soviet port where for the last fifty years russians have been coming on holiday but now it has the capacity to facilitate two big cruise liners as you can see just as well as one hundred yards during the olympic games twenty seven thousand people live. on the tape is that these thousands of visitors will make their way back to sochi in the future for a holiday taking terrorism from three million people a year to six million and in terms of job two that would mean tens of thousands of people with employment and much of those jobs will go to the people that what on the sochi infrastructure. there is no doubt that the olympics provide huge publicists say for results not just salty that's why countries compete for years on end to get a hold of the rice there's three billion people watching worldwide that's billions

of the tent to feed to tourists of course but the song today is not over positive we've had some rather unsavory pitches of hightower lawsuit or the so i caught up with a regional director of the residue of mr thomas hug him and asked him about these pitches and the prospects for his hotel. i want to ask you this mr rather unsavory pictures on the internet mainly from journalists we've had toilets and all sorts of hotel rooms unfinished what do you make of that has that affected your business not directly i mean i have seen plenty of these images and we have talked with our colleagues but it had not really a direct effect to us we disappointed by them you must look at them and. to be honest i have not seen any of these pictures myself and i've spoken to a lot of joiner lists who are involved in dealing picks and it seems to be a bit of it is usual seeing

a couple of days before the olympics because all the journalists need to have a story and then they pick something because they have to provide stories yet have your hotel rooms have they been full to capacity have even filling them up we have almost one hundred percent for all of our hotel rooms and we are operating more than two thousand five hundred here so we have been completely for the game spirit and we try to what can be done to attract people when the games are done and done way maybe advertising campaigns what you intend to do to get people on a plane say well there are two things one is what the hotels can do and we will do a lot we have a plan for. pics but also what we are missing is a bit more support from the regional government usually if you create a destination like this you have a convention office a convention which a professional destination marketing in this is what we need we need to market. in

russia and in europe and what kind of a person would come on holiday to. the target market. demain target this is people from russia i mean it's a main russian market international market and i believe that people have seen so many things. in the interested and. it will come down i'm very very confident with that so we've heard from the hotel industry there all the basis as to what's going to happen to tsotsi so are the investors they're convinced they're going to get their money back and to be fair to salty is well the unique and the you do have these snowy mountains full the ski isn't just over here today it's past eighteen by the coastal cluster and you've got the beach so you've got a bit of everything going on but the question is all the one hundred forty thousand visitors that have made their way here in the last three weeks are they going to come back or let's go and find out. i'll be honest i've been really moved out of the olympic village. the path that i'm on right now against the black sea here is

just absolutely beautiful. the weather is fantastic. it's a challenge i would imagine from a winner on the pic standpoint to have this beautiful weather and have winter olympics here right in our backyard but overall very very nice enjoyed it and i'm here for four more days another show on the other two. spend more time outside because it's going to be great weather and just enjoy what we're doing and what you make of the international press it's been fairly negative do you think it's fair no i don't i don't i think it's been pretty generalized. and the people that we've made it all been so nice and. it's very welcoming it is yeah press is press i guess do you think so she could be more reasonably priced i do i do but i mean it's the ruble compared to the world currencies what can you do about it would you come back to sochi if there was an allin pics on for a holiday i would love to see this place in the summer i think it be absolutely

spectacular this summer. ok so we've heard from the terrorists themselves but i'm now in the presence of a travel and tourism expert martin lived in lhasa for eight years you've been in sochi for the best part of two weeks as i understand it in and around experiencing the city what is the reality of prices here then tell me let's talk about the i thought straightaway. because lots of tourists and visitors who come in here sort of the first time we're talking about the fact that the taxi driver is a real to taken advantage of people coming here and fight after which is the main you know part of the olympic cluster that charging a thousand rubles say fifteen dollars for what is really just a ten minute journey that's why i was charged actually i must say that the thing is that in london a taxi from heathrow to the center is sixty pounds which is one hundred dollars and of course what taxi is and what business is going to take advantage of the influx of people being here in such a case about russians and people about aids how do their faulty that hangs it resemble an os well i think the average meal is around sort of six to ten dollars

so if you were it all really depends what you're used to because if you have a type. of course and what you're what you're enjoying if you live in expensive cities like london moscow scandinavia japan obviously such is going to be cheap i came in on it's a high salaries how much you can pay to put yourself up in such obviously it depends on the stars but only three that are here in sochi have got you got one start a five star yeah and in fact my hotel is fine so even though there's been many reports yes the toilet took toilets. you know it's a colored water. the reality is that thomas back the i.o.c. president said that some of the hotels aren't finished but if it's just three percent rise so say three percent there's a ferry to send money into not only three percent i haven't finished but the every hotel every new hotel has teething troubles regarding price well really you can have everything from bed and breakfasts. and be here little homestays to five

star hotels and resupply. the western chains with a presidential suite so really you're looking at average from around three thousand rubles paid nights which is around eighty ninety dollars maybe a little less. up to you are. limited martin. travel and tourism joining me here in venture capital you'll. yes thank you so sochi is by no means out the finishing line when it comes to the budget there's still a huge money to break even and it's going to be a busy year facility because russia is hosting the g eight summit. the formula one race is coming up in october and there's a busy summer season as well for the rockies the results in between or about of course the new economic forum to which all the coming back full power of its opportunity to come and see if the following is still holding steady so it is good bye for all such

just becoming all these different names right you know right right herb said you know. and things like that attacked and beaten and left with concussion and cuts to his face for the crime he says of being gay those who call for pro l.g.b. to legislation get arrested forty three gay activists protesting for human rights at idaho senate chambers were hauled into custody through a dozen or met a code of silence freezing out l g b t players sports illustrated writes the openly gay n.b.a. star jason collins now calling find a team precisely because he came out last year top players and coaches told the magazine that openly gay n.f.l. draft hopeful michael sam won't get picked in may purely down to his sexuality i magine if he's the guy next to me jane are get dressed they did take a shower the whole nine and just added she looks at me. how my supposed to respond

a medical test that supposedly identifies a gay person just by looking at him western tourists have already been jailed simply for admitting they are gay obama's approval of such policies is hardly surprising when those truthdig anti gay laws themselves in the states are becoming increasingly intolerant. this is the rights of gays lesbians bisexuals and transgender people in most states are deteriorating cities counties and states across the u.s. have told advocacy of homosexuality promoting a homosexual lifestyle laws state homosexuality is not a lifestyle acceptable to the general public in school students only receive instruction regarding homosexuality in the context of fictionally transmitted diseases. homosexuality happened to nature but showed

a speciality that does not make it right or something we should be teaching in school on the bills just passed in states health of representatives thing thinks couples can be refused service in shops hotels theaters and restaurants state officials can legally refuse to deal with gay citizens anywhere from libraries to police stations and hospitals representatives voted to allow businesses to lawfully deny any services to gays officials and also turn down the state institutions such as police and hospital. if it's against their beliefs. it's not just republican states like kansas clumping down the l.g.b. t. couples reports they make as the polls say oregon will also pass the same restrictions on shops serving gays when it votes in november gay americans are actually being rounded up and arrested just only accounts of the sexual status

slate reports on the cover police officers are performing sting operations against the gay community with a proposition in lieu of the intern apartment then promptly arrest them and bring them to jail presumably a risk which is the leading bright scholar at yale law school thank you for joining us is this really still happening in the southern cities of the united states those cities that are still discriminating aggressively against gay people and in other states in the north the midwest and the west coast so this idea of and trapping gay people through undercover police officers is highly objectionable it still occurs pulitzer prize winning correspondent chris hedges is anti gay senators on just trancing progressives across the states they now compete out each other on the most extreme a winning dick cheney's daughter liz believes only in quote traditional marriage despite the fact mary is gay i also don't support amending the constitution on this

issue i do believe in the traditional definition of marriage but politico knows votes is deserted her forcing her out of the senate race when she backed at least some same sex rights she appears on the image and the she can against the marriage and support government benefits for gay. people who are arresting the gays of sochi of the foreign journalists admits julia yo feet of the new republic members of russia's gay community told her this week of foreign journalists lining up in cables and clue. across the country trying to find a problem any problem the two countries standing by for the most journalists they know it all remember britain the british broadcasting corporation has been to thought she's gay club my out at least four times trying to dig up some. leading russian gay activist says he stopped even giving interviews to western mainstream media such as the hypocrisy for ignoring their own for worst problems while making

up lies about russia schoolboy and highest order the first professional translation into english of russian legislation relating to l g p t communities noting till now every us hike has repeated the standard lines and fake translations doing the rounds also single one has ever pulled it to do his job and checked facts he found the reality of russian and us laws slightly different the state department sent n.g.o.s to look for evidence of russian workplace discrimination only to report but he doesn't have the problems found in the us including the bright to follow workers just for being gay and gay will fly secure men don't they love in russia they can in the united states it's illegal six has been illegal in russia since ninety three while washington followed suit and years later many states continue to enforce locals to middle. of the racial undercover

police pretend to be gay men creasing physics continue in michigan and can lead to fifteen years pretty soon to be abominable and detestable crime against nature little gay couples called having consensual sex can be close to six offenders reports the center for constitutional rights they must carry this idea of all times with the words sex offender in large orange letters and show it to everyone from neighbors to land lords schools and employers even paul. if you gave gay propaganda to a minor in the us you'd be registered as a sex offender and your life would be over the russia it's a sixty one dollar fine living activist such as on the right time to shift now the situation is actually improving disappoints mainstream claims and fabricated videos the russian government recently joined the un human rights council there to rishon

to intensify protection of l.g.b. to citizens in the last three years the state department back service sense of reports there have been eighteen and to gay hate crimes in the us over four thousand that's more than three every day the truth is that an l g b t individual is far more likely to be the victim of an anti l g b t hate crime in the united states than in the russian federation this big drive in new york is great speak to what's going on here you don't see the mainstream media the corporate media talking about the discriminatory practices and laws that are being put in place in states like utah which are literally attempting to prevent openly gay couples from renting homes and buying homes and opening businesses these are openly discriminatory policies all are more severe and far more reactionary and far more devious two thousand and two winter games were held in utah a state with a city with two months gay couples can still be rounded up under so-called bagga

flag operations pull joseph was an editor at info was it's really great to see how the rules compare in utah well by the same standard that the u.s. should call today its own olympics in salt lake city in two thousand and two when you tell because utah has more draconian anti-gay rights so the stench of hypocrisy is overwhelming but yes study by rice golub run high salt why is this epidemic of and t l g p t hate crime through the unite. states not being showcased by the media well when you think about mainstream media i like to label it not so much as a stream but as a putrid swamp because the mainstream media has lost all its credibility through word petered lying about major race use or hate crime no matter where it takes place should be condemned the highest the simple question is why is the media

lawyer about other countries when there's a quote epidemic in the states ignored by the most media and being expended by us politicians seek truth from facts this is the truth because. i think that in all of these areas where you have the right supporters called the right they were stiff satisfaction with with left wing keep gemini my my friend in berlin does not seem to be aware of how widespread is this shit germany is and having spent the last forty years and in an academic lunatic asylum i assure you

that it is total in many many quarters of american life. that i was in academia for a while i pondered tonight's real jack as well at times so i'm going to jump in in london yeah i mean i think spending time in the lunatic asylums is kind of the fact of his you know i thinking a little bit that the point is that in the u.k. and actually across europe values have changed cultural values have changed more broad need to become much more tolerant much more open much more liberal and space even in the united states. and russia at least being gay is not criminalised there absolutely no punishment for being gay in russia the only thing that these laws are glutes is spreading information favorability for mission on nontraditional sexual behavior what are you going to legislate against couples if you swing you know who. you know trade partners

or is it only a certain type of sex that you're legally able to you know it is so why is propaganda you know it's so unclear.

transit route to vnukovo report you'll best way to the heart of most. two thousand and fourteen winter olympic games marked by phenomenal athletic performance is concluded with an enchanting spectacle the night sky of sorts sparkling with the world's eyes glued to the breathtaking closing ceremony. with the olympic flame extinguished we look back at the intense competition this in stations of the games as well as the top notch support from spectators. whether news in ukraine when they move closer towards splitting apart the opposition dominated the parliament appoints its new acting ministers and the president while the southeast refuses to bend to its will with a head of state still nowhere to be found.
