north of the friendly state towards georgia we're on the first circuit surely moving and moving in to the into the office of the prime a prime minister would be only a logical considering that he's feeling more and more positions in the government with his lady friends all of. the world but listen well it's an interesting thing well i mean circus really. he certainly is a strange guy and he certainly is is a strange politician but russians russian politics russian political experts many may talk to two european political experts and politicians on different topics and find find grounds of understanding each other but not. when they start talking georgian sacrificially so this is at least one thing he did. why why is the figure of this man so when poor and that even even russia and european expres can't find common grounds of evaluating him or his politics i mean that's interesting you say that because i don't really feel that there is a strong support for mr saakashvili as a person or as a politician in in the west i mean especially in european countries i don't think he is so strongl

we need to do what georgia did. in the state of georgia, they take unemployment benefits and they give them to their citizens, but they allow their citizens to work and be trained during that period and the georgia plan would work here and 10% of our unemployed would benefit from that. >> thank you. mr. sandoval? >> one of the problems with my opponent's plan is the fact that it's unconstitutional. the state of nevada cannot lend money to employers to create jobs. it's unconstitutional. i agree, that we need to diversify our economy and bring new business to the state of nevada as the next governor if i'm privileged to serve as the next governor, that would be my number one priority. >> let's move on to education. mr. reid, you'll have the first opportunity to answer, both you and your opponent want to make it easier to fire teachers if students don't perform well on tests. what do you say to that out of state teacher who is considering a move to las vegas and will be earning $35,000 a year, what do you say to that teacher

the u.s. and nato georgia of course has been a stumbling block between the two. do you think perhaps this could be aimed at undermining this gradual improvement in relations between nato and russia. i very much hope. the environment of the president of saakashvili. and seeing him in particular such examples as russian polish in. really know this to represent money in general between russia and the united states russia and the west in general russian nato i do not think that so well there is scandals or anything of that sort i can seriously be regarded by by the ruling elite as is a possibility to diminish the weight of russia in the world affairs or to spoil relations between russia and the west in fact there may have adverse effect just finally how do you think more scotia be reacting to this latest development if there is substance in it how should it should should react to this. was still have again i have to repeat the confirmation of the information there was no. confirmation but even ether it is confirmed even is going to firmed i really can cannot imagine

the latest by scandal in georgia is going to go from here yet remains to be seen. reporting from the georgian capital could a comedian in america sway people's opinion more than the president the majority of voters on an online survey certainly thinks so selecting john stewart who hosts a national daily talk show as the most influential man of the year in the u.s. and as honest as going to reports he's now taken that popularity to the streets. when if and bots get in the way of political promises. promised during the campaign change you can believe in right it wasn't a change of the believe in eighteen months when the media boils over with fear and anger. and the minds of a population are attacked with misinformation there's such a lack of truth on the airwaves are being dumbed down by the news business who are americans left to trust according to a poll conducted by an online men's magazine comedian jon stewart is the most influential man in america after eleven years on the daily show how from million voters bump him up to the number one spot and i would be concer

foreign secretary two years ago at the height of the russia georgia conflict david cameron called for russia to be suspended from the g eight he also said that russian armies cannot move into other countries while russian shoppers continue to march into selfridges is that the position of the british government today well again we have discussed georgia as i say we don't shy away from discussing differences we have a. i think a true it was a true description to say we have a frank and productive relationship so suddenly we have discussed the situation in georgia today. and in particular the role of the e.u. monitoring mission and implementation of previous agreements there will be there will be disagreements between the u.k. and russia. on issues such as those arising from georgia a lead is be clear about that and we are not saying today that we have abolished all differences between the governments of the united kingdom and russia already several subjects have been brought up in this press conference where clearly there are differences of view but it is important to work on the issues

the georgia plan would work here. we would benefit from that. >> one of the problems with my opponent's plan is that it is unconstitutional. the state of nevada at cannot loan money to employers to create jobs. it is unconstitutional. we need to diversify our economy and bring the business to the state. if i am privileged to serve as the next governor, that would be my number one priority. >> here is one of education. mr. reid led the first question. you both want to be able to fire teachers who do not do well on tests. what you say to the out-of-state teacher who was to move to las vegas, which he say to that teacher it they could lose their jobs per situations beyond their control? >> i would tell that teacher that there's more to the story. i would tell the teacher that the next governor has a plan to transform our schools. we can take the power away from bureaucrats in carson city and washington, d.c., and give it to teachers and parents at the community level. we can have open enrollment so every parent can choose

state of the military hardware exhibition underway just. a new spy scandal has flared up between georgia and russia after reports that twenty people have been caught allegedly spying for moscow although many experts say this could just be a p.r. stunt by tbilisi. what we know at the moment is on friday the reuters news agency put out a report that said twenty people have been arrested in georgia were accused of trying to set up a spy ring for moscow now we still haven't heard anything from the georgian side from they say so far to say where they confirm or deny that this was happening they've said they will issue a news conference later on what we have heard though is some comments from the russian side russian politician saying that there is no need for russia to have a spy ring in georgia it would be a waste of resources and suggesting that perhaps these people who have been arrested could be police using these they spy a cover up story to try and take the opposition political opposition away from the streets of georgia. this looks like another of george's internal political battles in
