for themselves are so poland's involved the russians involved the polish. and then they really how do you think this case will affect the relationship between warsaw and moscow. charging by the situation as it is now in fact i thought it would be so i do not think there would be a big impact of all this story on russian polish relations which are now on the rise. poland on the one had. demonstrated that each has its own policy and prime minister donald to articulate of this position but on the other hand they absolutely are more lie loyal now to russia also listening to russian to moscow and taking russia as it comes into an. interesting take on so i do not think there will be any worse any russian polish relations because of. their now legal experts are saying that a refugee status is not a reason to release someone arrested on interpol's orders tell me what is the role of interpol then. i think that interpol. globalizing world with. you know where. unstable. international law is one of their opinions ations which really works maybe we do not know because

you can't mention the one very important piece here for russian polish relations and definitely i think this is. a moment of truth for our relations moment just to see how much of this relations and let me emphasize that while asking poorly side just through to sounds like i have to moscow we we make it ourselves clear that he's not going to go until now much he's not going to face kind of reports of course what he's facing this those are very serious accusations but definitely he would be entitled to the best lawyer and the case would be fully transparent and it would come under close scrutiny of international community of international human rights activists so i don't understand why it's such a big fuss over this. right he can go to russia can be extradited all right well thanks very much for your analysis sergei stroke on from congress on newspaper thank you. the u.s. is preparing for a mid-term elections against a background of more grim news this week for the economy but on the campaign trail for some parties it's not finance but family values that should be the priority artie's c

the massacre has long poisoned russian-polish relations. the commonwealth games federation signalled on thursday that india was making progress on health and safety issues after several countries delayed sending their teams to new delhi. the indian prime minister called a crisis meeting of his ministers to discuss preparations for the games which are due to start in 10 days. >> some countries are postponing their teams departures. others have expressed concerns including possible terrorist attacks. the australian prime minister is urging caution. >> this towel -- this travel advisory is our best assessment of the conditions in india. we will continue to monitor the security very closely. >> some athletes accommodations are not finished and others are still on clean. there is currently an outbreak of dengue fever in new delhi. the governing congress party says that the problems have far reaching implications. >> we should be deeply concerned, we are deeply concerned. this is our national pride, national prestige. >> the indian prime minister

i think that despite current approach mint and russian polish relations and despite russia strong pledge pledges to extradite him i don't think that we expect him to come back to russia i personally would be very surprised if he's extradited for simple reason that still this is a very politically charged issue and the as you understand poorly should the ruling elite they also have the only limitation is they have all on domestic agenda and they can go to friday so i see at this as a sort of get in mouth game you see this all in all i think you would not gold rush they were a subgroup conflicting reports some said that he was not informed that he might be arrested but i think the reason is that he simply understood that port authorities had no guts just to arrest him and to send him to russia and in fact it was proved yes to do and polish prime minister said that russia should not go to fly in its expectations definitely i think this is is a moment of truth for our relations moment just to see how much you are this relations while asking polish side just to send like i have to moscow we m

as a lead to problems that all of the complaints that the russian prosecution have against it they're now hoping to transfer those to the polish side in order that the side sit or extraditing up to russia where he will stand trial the russian side of course say that they will do everything to make sure that the extradition and the process should take place will be taking place in accordance with all the standards of international law. just because there is a police prosecutor general has sent the polish side to act in accordance with the international obligations it was taken upon itself mr sherman saturday quote our actions will not be based on political factors multilateral. russia's prosecutor general you reach said it in the event was a kind of extradition to russia. his rise will be observed and he will stand a fair trial in court you can see. so the russian side is very much are hoping that the polish side world in their favor but of course both sides emphasize again that decision will be made to believe according to legal principles and standards of international law that no politics will be involved in the decision mak

polish regarding these suspicions allegations and charges concerning ahmedzai but even if poland should grant russia's extradition request it will be a very long time before that's up five sets court on russian soil and even longer before his trial begins. because this case further we're now joined live by pavel's the nevsky a polish member of the european parliament good evening mr zalewski thank you for joining us this evening i'd like to begin by asking you what you think the chances of that being extradited to russia are at this moment. so the chances to expel that there's a kind of to russia and just to. to realize their russian authorities requests in my opinion are equal to zero and there are many many reasons for that first of all. it. took about. which were presented to the danish carter some years ago eight years ago it was the same that the comments regarding the same charges. were just very carefully. discussed very good. very carefully screened by independent don you should carter and they were not. such which enabled this kind of move just to expose mr was a quiet so to russia so there were many dogs regarding the probability of this. is this evidence is second reason is that i

russian. forces free free but according to the polish side he has been released from custody that means they will not spend the next forty days in detention behind bars you will have. ever spend them and colette is prohibited from leaving the country pending that decision concerning his extradition to russia of course the russian prosecutors have put forward an extradition request saying that this man the most one of the most wanted men in the country has been internationally wanted and a warrant has been out for his arrest for nearly a decade and of course they're very concerned this man comes back to russia and stands trial the polish supply the polish side to change him earlier today and the prosecution did put forward a motion to to hard pressed him forty days and the extradition hearing that much was later denied by the polish courts but of course the extradition hearing even though russian prosecutors are possibly closer to it than they've ever been is still a very long way away and the decision may not know the russians that's. going to the prosecutor general tells me that they have no cho

russian prosecutors office have already said over all of the documents translated into polish regarding these suspicions allegations and charges concerning ahmed that quiet but even if poland should grant russia's extradition request it will be a very long time before that's up five sets foot on russian soil and even longer before his trial begins right we of course will continue to track what's happening with the coyote for now alexia's have ski in warsaw and. live in moscow we're going to keep the discussion going on this issue joining us now is mr james share from the royal institute of international affairs in london. there we go thank you for joining us mr cicare where this political of the hi-lo in britain kind of seems to have become completely brazen here i mean he knows he is on an international wanted list and travels through europe. well he also knows that he has a valid passport for refugees i think there's one fact that your correspondents neglected to underscore which is that both danish courts and british courts found the case on the evidence presented against him to be c

many of which are about their relationship with russia and so even if russians wanted to leave history alone. your ukrainian polish and the stone and other neighbors don't want that and so they press you in a sense on the historical questions you mention three countries russia poland and ukraine which of the three do you think have problems with self or didn't if it takes i'm not sure it's sort of a problem of the self a dedication but if you think of it that way then it the ukrainians for sure because it's not not as homogeneous this point or stony as so in ukraine. maybe a look. a bit like russia history is very divisive whereas in poland this would be perhaps less the case but just to go back to what i said a moment ago it's not just about these external pressures on you i think russians themselves and not everybody by any means but more than ten years ago let's say find themselves drifting back to history your bookstores now have more history books than ever before and specifically twentieth century history this was where communism started. and communism had its good points but it also obviously had its many v

materials, we are now getting north korea materials, but they come largely from chinese, russian, czech, polishnian archives. what becomes clear is what we think we know about north korea has been influenced by such thing as the cold war enmity between the two koreas, the enmity between the united states and north korea. there are other influences, such as what we think we know about north korea often reflects the official north korean position on things. surprisingly kahlo we think we know about north korea also reflects -- surprisingly what we know about north korea also reflects imperial japanese philosophy. anyone who has read a history of north korea knows kim il-sung's position in north korea was largely unassailable from the late 1950's, after he are fully exploited factional rivalries to consolidate his own position. he purged these factions finally andhe late 1950's eliminated outside influence in the party. what we're finding in these documents is this is not in a highly accurate. you did not really have a factional rivalry in the korean workers' party through the 1950's. you had poli
