former president of georgia a former governor of adesa ukraine thanks so much for talking to others thank you for inviting me so you're now here in the netherlands but on april the third you spoke about how you want to return to georgia when will that happen well i think the or entire region we are going to change the the present artificial situation when all garcia running the show sidelining the people sidelining democracy just making fun of the whole idea of the political process it's very artificial and there you can't return until that changes or else you would probably go by the refs except i also ball sort of change i keep i the only politician maybe well maybe in the world at least part in two different countries i have a part to work which i lead in ukraine and i hope our two which i live in georgia and then put in permanent contact with them indeed bareheaded some of the campaigns there now we came up with some initiatives so i'm not standing still i'm i'm i'm not just waiting for the moment to come i'm trying to bring a moment closer to how how do you remove all the guards from

the georgian people in despair and you want to end the real thing because georgia's fate was also decided by what happens in ukraine i went to the region of that which is extremely important strategic region do you think you could change georgia though by being the governor of the death of this or that it would have faults but have you for that i would have fallen george it would have been finished off because or their face on the black sea fallen from home and the time to write president it was when i went there it was very on the brink of being fall into the fold of the russians it's also obvious it's a very it's a region with a very strong separatist presence with wary weak arm and power but that's moments very precarious security situation to the point where nobody really wanted to get to go into that business of becoming so that said governor well i i well i wanted to go there after several high profile ukrainians declined that office and because they foresaw that i would fall why does president petro poroshenko ask you do you think and give you citizenship was it down. personal relationship with no i think be

and when they do bad things they lie about it from poisoning litvinenko, through to estonia, georgia, ukrainemple telling the truth in a straightforward and open weight, not hiding things that don't need to be hidden and not having wrong tweaks that confused the evidence that you yourself have assembled. that is down to the foreign secretary, it is astonishing... i think we have to take this really seriously. in the past in other circumstances are politicians have really worked on what is the line, the talking points, the phraseology and what to avoid. we used to be quite good at doing this and now we have become, i would say, amateurish and the russians, it's not so much the russians are good at it, they are making hay while the sun is shining, and i'm worried that what comes next will be worse. there was a clear warning from them when they said we are playing with fire and we will retaliate and i'm nervous about what we will see next week. we will not like it. thank you very much, and louise shelley, thank you very much indeed. before we move on, if you want you can watch a film on one of o

russia threatens allies and partners both militarily, as seen through its invasions of georgia in 2008 and ukraine in 2014, and through an aggressive campaign to undermine western democratic institutions. in light of russia's unacceptable actions, nato is more indispensable than ever. as nato allies agree, the use of military-grade nerve agent developed by russia on uk territory was a reckless action that put the lives of innocent civilians at risk. the united states has made abundantly clear that nato should not return to business as usual with russia until moscow shows a clear change in its actions and complies with international law. president trump has also made clear that fighting terrorism must be a major focus of nato. the alliance should work with our partners in north africa and the middle east to address conditions and activities that enable terrorism, such as traffic of weapons, irregular migration, and regional instability. nato's expertise can help strengthen the resilience of partner countries as well. we call on nato to increase its interactions with regional organizations that are
