Judging by the numerous online response to an unexpected series tailpiece, when the plot lines and dub detective Manco go unanswered, the audience even liked. Now fans are waiting for the continuation of the series rightly, that in the new creation of devilry in a faraway village opened unresolved mystery: who walked in a dark coat in the forest, and that eventually happened with knives main heroine.

At the review week, leaders turned to the First Channel TV series "Montecristo" (rating - 7.5% share - 23.2%), which has long been unable to win at the top line because of the popularity of "Koldovskoy love."

Prevent series "Montecristo" was quite capable of another project First Channel Two fates. New Life "(rating - 7.4% share - 22.9%).

This series had increased the potential audience through the popular . But this potential was not realized in a new series of directors Uskova and Krasnopolskogo. "New Life" with the new heroes are not attracted to the screen, in addition to fans of the previous two fates, additional viewing masses. As a result, "Two fates. New Life rollback to the second place, losing a week in the ranking of a few tenths percent.

Third place at the Review week left for the premiere of Channel One, entitled "Total therapy" (rating - 6.8%, the proportion - 25%). It is significant that as the third-rated new series on doctors went to leaders of the percentage of the audience. "Total therapy" - an attempt to mix in cocktail ambulance, "" House Doctor "and" Anatomy of passion. " But most of all "Total therapy" recalls old Czech TV series "The hospital on the outskirts of the city, where again the main characters appear surgeon Lovelace and amorous trap that Lovelace also reach nurse.

If a serial display at the Review week luck accompanies the First Channel, the film shows the channel "Russia" takes a strong revenge by taking all three lines of higher ranking table.

In the first place - the film "delayed effects" (rating - 7.2% share - 24.5%). Storyline appeal of the movie lies in the emerging novel father and daughter. Father did not know that she was his daughter and the daughter does not know that he was her father. But all that know the former wife of the hero, became a mother of his daughter. She failed lovers and reveals the truth, because jealous father to a daughter.

In the second place - the film "Forgiveness Sunday" (rating - 5.8% share - 17.9%). There obstacle in the way of lovers, too, is their relationship. Only they were not father and daughter, a brother and sister. And also they do not know about it, but terrible for them secret father of a young man learns. It turns out that the father of young girls have sinned with his mother and all this time he did not know that he has, in addition to his son, there is a daughter.

In third place - the movie "The stopping distance" (rating - 5% share - 18.3%). In this film the relationship between the heroes do without incest. The tragic case, connecting the characters, made it - and his - the victim. The convergence of Lucy and Alexei forcing his family to abandon all its forces to recover lost the head of her husband, father and grandfather.

In the small rehearsal room located under the roof of the Theatre of Light, on major boulevards, Michel Sardou, black tee-shirt, coffee and cigarettes at hand, gives the reply to his son Davy, a young actor thirty years, noticed last year in Oscar.

"It's much more a vaudeville villain, enjoys Michel Sardou, because we laughed a situation amoral. I love to play this kind of comedy with weapons such as bad faith and lies. Think that my future daughter-in-law is in love with me, which puts me in an impossible situation with my son who ignores all... "

" I think my son very good "

An ambiguous character in which the singer and actor Sardou slips gradually, delighted to return to the boards after its previous tests, Bagatelles, Comedy deprived of Neil Simon and The Man in question, Felicien Marceau.

"The theatre is my engine," he says. It is an art at once creative and collective. We must get wet, go deep within and seek his game in the eyes of another. It is on a project like this, not knowing where you go and this is the beginning of an adventure where everyone must remain welded around the theatre director - in this case Jean-Luc Moreau who is very clever in comedy and only four miles to give indications on stage... I am fortunate to work not only with my son Davy that I find very good, but also with excellent actors, my accomplice Spielvogel, Rita Brantalou, Elisa Servier, Mathilde Penin which is a kind of Maria Pacme.

"It is much better than me," cowardly "he smiles. And also very proud that it is at the origin of this piece written specially for him by Eric Assous.

"Suddenly, it's Davy who makes me step up to the plate and not the contrary. I find it rather unusual and exciting to find myself in the shoes of an actor on which submits a text. "And even if he has a cruel and thankless role, that of the turkey stuffing, Davy either does not hide his happiness to give reply to his father. "I did not know whether he would accept my idea to play with him, he says. Everything was done simply and, on stage, the current passes between the two of us, quite naturally. "

perfectly aware that the play also rests on its name (the locations walk rather well) but the mouth - ear remains the referee, Michel Sardou, father filled with his other son, Romain, a successful novelist (read-below), sees extend the dynasty of his family of acrobats on the side of his father, Fernand.

"The name of Sardou continues," he said. It is in line with Brasseur, Bouglione and it becomes a kind of dynasty that dates back to the early eighteenth century. At the time of teeth on the Pont-Neuf, there were already Sardou who were responsible to impress the public and, especially, to cover the screams of pain of the poor who teeth. "

NY found another "American footprint in the Georgian conflict: provocateurs - U.S. space exploration

The decision to invade in Tskhinvali had been taken under the influence of information on that late at night on 7 August tanks 58 - and the Russian army crossed the border with Georgia and entered the Roksky tunnel, and the information provided, the Georgian side of the Americans, writes the newspaper.

Representatives of Tbilisi continues to insist that Saakashvili's decision to start operations against South Ossetia was impulsive. True, they are now putting forward a new version says "Nezavisimaya Gazeta".

As the browser NG anonymous senior source in the Russian ", Georgian Ambassador to Japan argues that the decision to invade in Tskhinvali had been taken under the influence of information on that late at night on 7 August tanks 58 - and the Russian army crossed the border with Georgia and entered the Roksky tunnel.

This information has provided the Georgian side of American space exploration. "I checked it on their channels at our military - said the newspaper interlocutor. - I would argue that our tanks on August 7 Georgia not crossed the border. So it was misinformation on the part of Americans."

Having received information on the nomination of Russian tanks, the Georgian leadership could decide that Abkhazian scenario repeats itself with the introduction of additional peacekeepers, and advance to play.

Recall that another loud version of direct American interest in the Georgian-Russian conflict voiced last week and Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.

According to him, the conflict could provoke certain forces in the U.S. to create one of the advantages of presidential candidates United States: "If my guesses are confirmed, then there is a suspicion that someone in the U.S. specifically created this conflict in order to create an aggravation of the situation and advantages in competition for one of the candidates for the post of President of the United States "- Putin said in an interview with CNN.

Moreover Russian Prime stated that Russia has serious grounds for believing that directly in the combat zone in Georgia were U.S. citizens. "If so, if confirmed, this is very bad. This is very dangerous, and this erroneous policy" - stressed Putin.

And Russian media had earlier warlike version according to which the war in South Ossetia is part of a conspiracy Vice President Dick Cheney to prevent the election of Barak Obamy President of the United States.

At the same time, some Western media have accused the Russian authorities is that appealed to the "Cold War methods", lighting events in Georgia. For example in the opinion of the newspaper The Times, the Russian media for every conflict lies "U.S. vicious hand."

Ceremony of the Olympics: Marx and Mao to oblivion

The truth often lies in what is being concealed from this point of view, the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Beijing, Friday, revealed a four billion viewers around the world the image that China now wants to project of itself.

That is to say that a great nation who returned to his old power, a civilization that the revolution Maoist have been a step. A parenthesis deleted today.

Friday, the show impressive ordered by the director Zhang Yimou had nothing obviously improvised. The filmmaker who, in his film Living, had so powerfully narrated the suffering of three generations of Chinese for half a century, suddenly became silent on the recent past of his country. That showed he? This story several times millennium of the Middle Kingdom, one of this civilization that has always fascinated both the West since ancient Rome to our new Europe.

In this saga of legends and dynasties, the fact that a missing: that of the founders of the current regime. Uncle Marx to the dustbin. And Mao, to oblivion. Not a table on the characters guardianship of the new China! Zhang Yimou passed directly from China to the eternal conquest of space, the . Fascinating shortcut.

It was just a resume that television the 1.3 billion Chinese people for months. At emission preparing the population for this great celebration of the Olympics, the stadium would take place where the ceremony was presented as the heart of contemporary China, a giant steel China, miracle of the World , Located on the same axis as the Forbidden City. He rejuvenated Chinese civilization The path between the Forbidden City and the stage is that of a country to power. "

Not what tremble: Chinese nationalism has always been an assertion of nationalism, never conquest. A country which completes the construction of its last Great Wall of China in the late eighteenth century is not imperialist. In its long history , China indeed has never been conquering, if not in the field of trade, to acquire, here and there, what it needs.

In terms Politically, the message of this ceremony of the Olympics was clear. Having made the turn capitalist regime, Deng Xiaoping had estimated that the record of Mao was "70% positive, 30% negative."

Rectification additional Friday: it no longer refers to Mao. Neither of its balance sheet. Hu Jintao, who is part of the generation of victims of the Cultural Revolution, does more than one refers to the attempt to destroy traces the history of China, Confucius erase the collective mentality. On the contrary, we now famous venerable master. In the ballet characters "of the show, one of them reflected:" He ". That of harmony. Nglig "Gong", the common, collective and, by extension, communism of the last half-century! The ceremony on stage could be entitled: Confucius to Confucius.

Thus the scientific development under the banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics "itself from Marx and influence Western exterior.

Message shining once again: China focused on itself, with in its past, ie drawing its strength from its ancestral experience. In questioning itself, it is preparing to take a fresh look at the West and capitalism.

The West must therefore be prepared to receive lessons from China. It must also learn to take the Middle Kingdom with less simplistic, ie wearing an eye on him new and genuinely curious.

Democracies, disarmed face war

Democracies go wrong. In fact, the fascination of China and Russia, including on Western public opinion. High in repentance and erasure, it discovers that nations can impose their wills, without complex. The splendor of the Beijing Games, added to strong economic growth have obscured the regime freedom. And many of those in France, justified the invasion by imperial Russia, Georgia guilty of having chosen the free world.

The timidity of the "Old Europe" faces this coup de force against a country that has chosen in 2003 to get closer to the USA, recalls the tragic policies of appeasement face the autocrats. While the West angelic reduced its military budgets, ex-KGB Vladimir Putin increased those of his country. Certainly, Nicolas Sarkozy, President of the Union was right to negotiate a ceasefire. But the Russians found no obstacle, so far, their reconquest. After Georgia: Ukraine or Moldova?

What gives see our democracies disarmed talkative but does not necessarily follow them. Especially since the recession that affects only allows them to offer more welfare for all. Their inability to enforce some of their new hosts shows the disarray of their leaders. They themselves no longer seem to believe in the sovereignty of citizens, when they fear their voices, as on the European treaty. The lies of political correctness add to the feeling of suffocation.

It is on this ground that flourished, especially in France, a discourse of hatred of Western Judeo-Christian, remarkably husked by the 'historian Pierre-Andre Taguieff (Judophobie of Modernity, Odile Jacob). Shared by extreme left and the Islamists, rejection of democracy expresses itself in a anti-Semitism. "The hatred of Jews will undoubtedly linked with that of the West," says Taguieff. But the anti-east of the same barrel.

It is obviously impossible to be satisfied with this observation of a possible return to the totalitarian temptation, which finds echoes, for example, with the future New Party (NPA) of nice factor Besancenot. The revolutionary Islam, which denounces, like him and alter the " of the world," is ready for a pact on the back of the West and the Enlightenment. Democracies must therefore urgently depression itself together. For Europe, here come the test of truth.

two wars

Yes, democracies are in danger. Their weakness, which also occurs through small cowardly recurring prices for supplies of oil and gas, has become prey. A study by the Friedrich-Ebert Foundation (Le Monde, August 15) reveals that nearly one in three German think that democracy functions poorly. In France, since September 11, 2001, the "American-Zionist conspiracy" has proved a resounding success in the speeches of extremes, to the satisfaction of . Now installed in Algeria, these are the doors of Europe (Antoine Basbous, Le Figaro, 26 August). Others are at heart of cities. The war that was said driven Old Continent, including its peak again , and on two fronts. There are at least one too many.

The Russian threat is certainly not comparable to the Islamist threat, even if Moscow does more the cold war. There are between the West and Russia which make possible a rapprochement. However, the free world can not leave unanswered the provocations of the Kremlin, who admitted Tuesday the independence of Abkhazia and South Ossetia from Georgia. Of course, Westerners have been wrong to endorse the independence of the Serbian province of Kosovo. But Vladimir Putin and Dmitri Medvedev, indifferent to the plight of minorities (the Chechens know something), have engaged in a battle that the European Union can not lose. It is hoped that diplomacy and economic pressure will think the Russians . Faced themselves with fundamentalism, which they would gain to side with Iran and Syria?

unthinkable decline

In this context, a decline of France Afghanistan, where ten of our soldiers have been killed by Taliban, the sign . Unthinkable. Democracies, jointly attacked on September 11, 2001 in New York, defended in this faraway country of Islamic totalitarianism who wants their loss. A failure there would be a victory for who enlist young French fanatical. For the defeatists who the quagmire in Iraq, it must be remembered that Arab troops to fight al Qaeda alongside U.S. troops and that this war was won, whatever the Dominique de Villepin? Afghanistan is an opportunity for France, a follower of soft power, to show its determination in the face to terrorists, "these barbaric medieval" denounced by Nicolas Sarkozy. The president and Bernard Kouchner have placed the issue of civilization of this war, which dares to say his name. "I doubt the word of war, I deny totally," said Herve Morin, Minister of Defense. But behind the fear of words, there is no fear at all?

modern Heroes

These young soldiers who say everyone in the reports, wanting to go after their mission in Afghanistan after the death of their comrades: a selflessness that makes them the new modern heroes.

War For Bringing Democracy

Putin believed in a "conspiracy theory" Russian media and its CNN: War in Georgia has started because of the elections in the U.S.

The conflict in Georgia could provoke certain forces in the U.S. to create one of the advantages of presidential candidates United States. This version, first expressed on the waves of public radio station Vesti-FM ", this time voiced the Prime Minister of Russia, Vladimir Putin, and, in an interview with the American CNN.

"If my guesses are confirmed, then there is a suspicion that someone in the U.S. specifically created this conflict in order to exacerbation of the situation and create a competitive advantage in the fight for one of the candidates for the post of President of the United States" - said Prime.

Then picked version of the State Duma Vice-Speaker Vladimir Zhirinovsky.

"Everything done to November 5, won their man - John McCain. Military-Industrial Complex U.S. must lead to power their rights - John McCain," - Zhirinovsky said.

"Dick Cheney - that's the main enemy of mankind today. Bush - puppet, like Saakashvili. One - in Washington, the other - here," - Vice-Speaker said.

The Americans fought against the Russians

"Citizens of the United States were in the conflict. They acted because they were ordered, and the only one who could give them such orders - this is their leader," - quoted from an interview Putin canal site.

In the Russian-speaking text distributed by official Russian news, this thought is: "we have serious grounds for believing that directly in the combat zone were United States citizens. If so, if confirmed, this is very bad. This is very dangerous, and this is an erroneous policy, "Putin said.

"Even during the cold war, the hard confrontation Soviet Union and the United States we have always avoided direct collision between our civil and, moreover, military, soldiers, "- Russian Prime stressed.

Putin regrets that the U.S. is not stopped Georgia at the initial stage of the conflict

Then in an interview with the Prime Minister expressed regret that the United States not intervened in the Georgian-South Ossetia conflict and not stopped by the Georgian leadership from its escalation. Putin said that "was disappointed that the U.S. administration had not done anything to stop Georgia already in the early stages of the conflict", cites premiere Interfax.

Russian Premier recalled that on the day of the actual outbreak of war during the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Beijing on August 8, he spoke with U.S. President George W. Bush and, according to Putin, head of the American administration declared that he would not do that somewhere was at war.

"Already at 12 hours local time, units of the Armed Forces of the Georgian peacekeepers seized a town in the south of Tskhinvali. This is not, we must ensure that we at someone attacking. We either do not have attacked. This guarantees we demand from others that we No one else is attacked, and our citizens killed no one "- said Putin.

He noted that economic measures, which Russia takes on a number of American products, unrelated to the conflict in the Caucasus.

According to Putin, Washington not only failed to prevent the Georgian aggression against South Ossetia, but also armed Georgian army. "Not only that the U.S. administration was unable to restrain the Georgian leadership of this criminal act. The U.S. side actually armed and trained Georgian army," - he said.

"Why the long years of difficult negotiations and to seek compromise solutions to the complex ethnic conflicts? It is easier to arm one side and push her to kill other hand, and the case done. It would seem - is easy solution. Actually, it turns out that this is not always so "- stressed Putin.

He also refuted allegations that the decision on the introduction of troops into Georgia enacted them, and not President Dmitry Medvedev.

"This is certainly not true" - said Prime, replying to a question from CNN, whether it was true that he ordered on the introduction of Russian troops in Georgia.

Putin noted that Medvedev knew his views on the matter. "But to take such a decision could only president of the Russian Federation, Chief of the Armed Forces of Mr Medvedev. It is his decision," - Prime stressed.

For membership in organizations of Russia through the fingers will not look at the murder of its citizens

Russia for membership in international organizations is not going to not respond to the killing of its citizens, said Vladimir Putin. "We should allow that to kill himself and for this we say, keep the" G "?" - Prime noted. "And who will persist in the" G "if all of us kill?" - He added.

The Prime Minister of the Russian Federation noted that the recent very often spoken about the threat from Russia.

"We are with you now sit, talk peacefully in the city of Sochi. In a few hundred kilometers from here approached U.S. warships with missile arms on board, which range - just a few hundred kilometers. This is not our ships came to our shores, and your come to our "- he underscored.

"We do not want any complications, we do not want any swearing with whom or with whom to fight. We want good cooperation and respect for us, to our interests" - Putin said.

Russia not to politicize and will not politicize the economy

Russia will not use energy supply as a response to pressure from the European Union. "We never politicize economic relations. And we were very surprised by the position of some officials in the United States Administration, which for European countries and encouraged Europeans not to take our products" - assures Putin.

"Let's say it's just fantastic politicizing economic sphere, it is very harmful, in fact. Yes, the Europeans are dependent on our deliveries. But we depend on the person who buys This interdependence is precisely stability" - said head of the Russian government.

"Big Eight" inferiority: there is no India and China

"Big Eight" without China and India today becomes inferior, said in his interview, Putin large. "In today's form of" Eight "has not full weight position.
