So joining us the best we can direct the Nova Documentary filmmaker thinks being with this a year also in awe of the author of this book which i could rest we trimmed its the frantic roughly translated as the and the hearts of russian power investigation into the weekend. Empire would be interested to hear what you have to say Christopher Dickey oppose the cabin as mrs goh that this week to paris. Your chief of the daily beast states being here. The hockeyroos the former of course that is the French Television as Senior Correspondents and amar of the Rondo A Franco Surrey photojournalist whose worked extensively in syria among other places so lets get to this weeks first topic lets get started with a russian plan to put the making headlines as the party is the most famous prisoner in the country khodorkovsky once the richest man in russia lasted ten years in a labor camp in siberia. Hes been released and hes now left for germany are the prize winner putin as for the first question to you tony is is this a sign perhaps of Vladimir Putins grow. Hold on power that he no longer needs to keep his rivals in prison now i dont say so i didnt sit well. He probably believes that hes sick of. Held up but that i dont think its the reason lol its difficult to say because it happened today all yesterday. But thats the first of all for me. I still agree was a lot of commentators who said the keys. Their unwarranted on them in big games coming in temper. Soo maybe a foreign political leaders sending people to get them and the miracles not attending barack obama is not attending as follows the attending see. And the bulls to the states and and she remembers. I remember and he remembers the Olympic Games in nineteen eighteen one of the deviation of chemists time i cough all the concerts a lot of hunters in common that was it. A man like detail in the games of moscow. Cindy says one of the reasons the single this gesture not. And there because what she did. We all very happy that the purple skittles at the rate is ten years in the russian prison its like something especially you know the scuffle that for these crimes he didnt need these and a third trial was about to get underway so it was possible some people believe that he was actually getting to spend a number of extra years in prison. I stated that he says israel. Its a very good. Question and its a very important thing they serve trial is still awesome even the keys three who was in e they decide to start in investigation. Rachel is a smokescreen political theater waits until the Olympic Games are gone and then bulls have slipped to third trial follows course and and and put him back in jail is the reason i think she will see hall difficult to keep the paint what hes doing how can he speak as not to run some on the opposition leaders this too. They will see if hes for these his place in russian them. Mr trial a soul is possible. And that they may know that there is an enormous role but the kissing him. She spent more than ten years in prison and normally he Terms Company and in all its eight months late to work this into a medium heat. Its very good that hes been terrific but the team. Paul started to bark a month compared to ten news release in eight months early. It was noticing some fourteen cents. The hole and two days. This is the deal is the color can be a professional home the holiday of cheeky steal the kgb today units that theyll be in creation maintenance guy was a deliberately. And since he wasnt the right that accepted the deal. The key to being in the back to old he is crawling with an occasional think its such a demand. Beaks people become an open tomb. While nonetheless its great that shes free and events. Chris and chris were you surprised by this. Little surprise i mean everybody is expecting put them to take these measures before the sochi olympics in february. Hed gotten the idea that the coffee was never going to jail even if is eight months more had been served there wouldve been another trial Something Else to just keep them locked away in siberia forever. So all the sun to hear hes gonna be pardoned the specimen is to take the time it takes apart knees out all the sunnis gone is the pride agenda is out of the country was a little surprising. I also think that is actually attracting more attention. And then not mean precisely because everybody thought he was out of the way in under the jail forever in siberia. Now hes gone all this attention to him. And people are saying exactly what time is saying it was only a matter of eight months why did he spend ten years was this guy who doesnt think he is. Well not too sour. I think this is one the french call for the class and privilege decision of life and death made by the ahh moment antidepressants people in russia then now is to put in camps on trial in the very small movie Russian Administration would just tell. Like its heels and executed yet it has is that we think this is the benefit of the russian people and we think this is for national while. Mr putin first and theres also another reason i think which has been awful its the fact that up has been considerable capital flight from from russia recently the bush economy is and thats isnt out of stocks that have been serious banking problems for some of the russian banks. And he realizes that goes into a middle class energy and the rule if he wants to maintain. He is. Connections to iran russia and its power to have to give them to get them implemented where he meets investors to come back in these investors to feel comfortable making deals with people and so the intent are into russia. And this is the way. Plus he is in jail after making Business School with an American Company insanely is a chart of embezzlement fraud was tight version of production of oil you know it doesnt get investors. You know of incitement to come over and make business with russia would you really think is really scares the next room incitement to do so. All i think it says it creates a different climate and thats probably what to what mccain wants to do i mean its not in its seventh track corporation the internal operation of all and youll powerful. Ive decided on a i have the capacity to decide life and death with everyone as in toulouse. Secondly up and saw chee as a brave as everyone wanted out. Which is also very cool because he heavily invested in the stock to cover project on the money but also his personal reputation. And the fact that the you know the capital flight is a big change for the russian economy. Mark was able to take on this is the southern interior of the clips again this week when i was interested of course because i mean awesome cousin to pursue writing because its the pms and then theres the clinton days there will be because of their eastern areas. About two thousand people have been hardened among them is true its not just when asked to write its awesome to see riot the punk rock band that was jailed for blasphemy after singing a song. I think about him. It was the Orthodox Church and was going to sing in anti putin song in jail after that. So of course im as time has come in a very happy with and with such use i dont think kimi and undergoing his remarkable thing the pt really cares about the International Opinion or even hostile to human. Its a winter game using the its up to moscow in nineteen eighteen it was a summer game or use it enough to send someone to win some games. It isnt a factor in the debate i dont think he was amenable to the jester costume was so cheap. Anyway this decision of my life now and it was so whenever he mentioned that tomorrow barak obama has final say oh maybe i could go on friday said that she wouldnt freeze he would expend in my skis im pulling for the duration and uncles give it isnt the important thing for the russians because this is the twenty two days to see him and even if he isnt answering american character for him mumble all. But let me say. Haitian Officials Say is that it is to be a part in a human rights violation. Yet the minute he too was a lawyer who died in prison and the bubbling needed to ann
