bit too blunt for this interview we don't really camping according to supporters of your competitor sergei shamba is the current leader of the polls with almost forty percent support what are your views on the campaign. in compliance with a longstanding principle i would prefer to refrain from mentioning any names now and according to our new and improved procedures i wouldn't cite any figures public opinion is a very intricate matter especially in the air because in society and figures do not always reflect the actual situation the results of the election will become clear once the votes have been counted and formalize in an official statement as for today we have busy preparing the vote and the election campaign is generally moving ahead without any trouble but there are occasional rough edges but i'm confident that the people in some of the campaign headquarters really just this stone says and keep along the guidelines of the agreement that was signed by the three presidential candidates the political battles of two thousand and poor place the pause there on the brink of civil war what

caucasus the public thought that starting talks to one of the presidential candidates prime minister sergey shop about the challenges his country faces. we are in the republic of a pause here where preparations are under way for the august presidential election so occasionally but is the country's prime minister and also one of the candidates and he's here with us today the upcoming election is the second presidential election after a pause in recognition doesn't see both the process as an independent state. we have been an independent state for a longer time than we've been recognized so this is in fact already our fourth election democracy is working its way into our society and so each time elections get more democratic the public gets involved more actively and so we expect this time it will be a democratic process how many international observers will be there at the elections and this will have a number of international observers no doubt we had quite a lot of them during the previous election and so they came from different countries including some european states who's been invited

you've made aware of this back in two thousand and four it was through some very serious efforts by sergei backlash and rule has imber that the situation was stabilized i would even say that it was thanks to the wisdom and foresight of these two politicians for the situation was resolved successfully and appropriately causing society was very grateful to both of them for that one. if anyone feels that the events of two thousand and four may recur i believe such an assessment is premature and we i mean the of colors in society do not share the opinion of those who believe this election should end up with some kind of confrontation we have entirely different plans. because in treaty on military cooperation the lead groundwork for stationing russian troops in the country was signed one half years ago but it has been submitted for if occasion by the russian parliament only recently why is the process getting a fresh start the day is there fear of new georgian aggression and was not of course there was this with us we know that for us georgia is not a very friendly state because its present leg

alexandr uncuff was vice president one the man he succeeds as leader sergei volkov she died in office last may the two soft paws in independence recognized by russia and a number of other countries in two thousand and eight with both men helping prevent war with georgia at the same year for almost two decades after a pause educate their dependents from georgia and nine hundred ninety one military conflict along with fear and uncertainty marked life in the country the mood now seems to have changed people only battles where independence left many scars in a pause he has capital you can see how badly the parliament building was damaged cleaning up the rubble and getting things back in order will probably be the toughest part of the job for the new president keeping good ties with russia and restoring the economy will be the top of in clubs agenda. and we have to admit it and it is true we see some growth but it is no no we loans and serious investments . the campaign was monitored by more than one hundred international observers from countries including france austria and israel when i

source and that by the way observers were present in significant numbers at the previous election when sergey back and she got reelected i can tell you honestly that their evaluations were mostly positive for abkhazia service considered our election to be fairly democratic and transparent and maintained it because it should serve as an example for many countries and i think the upcoming election will go exactly like. that is well since a pause here remains unrecognized by many countries what are the chances that the current election will be considered legitimate abroad than we have with them but a new broom we don't even focus on that what matters to us is that we must administer the election in accordance with causes legislation how others may react to it is another matter what is truly important is that we do everything right those who are unbiased will come up with an impartial assessment of the election as for the issue of recognition of our election let me speak plainly even if it sounds a bit too blunt for this interview we don't really campaign according to supporters of your competito

the squad i've to the blue and white six they're thirteenth coach in thirteen years they pointed sergei silicon at the end of a pro and since them do not have suffered just two defeats in fifteen minutes and according to defend their round often on this business only one game so far this can bring this side has gained the confidence and composure needed for victory the phones have been think as we've begun scoring goals that score we like for now we manage the game better and we play with more control not so desperately for when we couldn't score a goal in desperately tell you it will tackle that helped so i think we change a lot of things not too many of course but the results speak for themselves and solid defense at the back adds to their taking units confidence fernandez has been a rock in front of dinner was ned seems he made a move from argentina inside river plate in two thousand and six and very soon became one of the fans' favorites being handed the player of their award but this supporters and after six years here has become a true dilemma veteran says is over their six years

it was brilliant to have sergei nearby we became good friends i stayed at his place at first and i got to know his family well he's a great player and was one of our key men when we won the stanley cup so it's a pity that he and the club couldn't reach agreement over a new contract but it's talky everybody gets new opportunities or changes team every so often i can only wish them to get the best of luck it's difficult. to just avoid them if he's won so many awards and had so. many injuries but surprisingly he's still the same as he was at the age of eighteen he invites us to his place for dinner and talks to the players in the locker room he doesn't just support sydney but the entire team he always travels with us to games. like you. know what it was you know if you can get still like you i miss them i still don't have such friends here in america that i have in russia people i grew up with people i've known for years went to hockey training which i've recently bought a house in moscow now my friends can visit me more often so it feels a bit better for me like that otherwise i'm genera

it's the late 1990s, and two grad students named larry and sergei come up with an idea, to improve the way we search on the internet. they start google, a company which today is also, of course, a verb. it's grown into a tech empire, including cloud-based service, global and even social networking. eric schmidt lead google as ceo from 2001 to 2011. but earlier this year he handed back the google reins to google founder larry page. >> as you can see from the june results larry is going to be an excellent ceo. he's very focused, disciplined, sits in the office all day to get our products to work as freely as possible. this is going to free me up to work on government policies, global issues and frankly i can travel more than he can. >> reporter: google has tried so many different things. is failure something that going sl not afraid of? >> i should hope we're not afraid of. if you only have winners, then you're obviously not trying hard enough. almost everything has been very successful and we relatively quickly clean up the things which don't work out because we need to take the resourc
