For more news and videos visit ☛ ntd.tv Follow us on Twitter ☛ twitter.com/NTDTelevision Add us on Facebook ☛ on.fb.me/s5KV2C Mongolia's capital, Ulan Bator, was the center for celebrations. Crowds braved the cool and rainy weather to catch a glimpse of their Olympic heroes. The medal winning athletes have inspired their fellow countrymen. Gold in the first week by Tuvshinbayar Naidan's helped leaders from opposing political parties to set aside a feud paralyzing the nation. [Nambariin Enkhbayar, Mongolian President]: "We have gathered here in the heart of our country, Sukhbaatar Square, near Genghis Khan Statue, to honor the people that we all were supporting and waiting for." A surprise gold from Badar-Uugan Enkhbat in bantamweight boxing handed the country their first Olympic boxing title. Naidan says the medals were a result of strong support. [Tuvshinbayar Naidin, Judo Gold Medalist]: "The high results were possible thanks to our government, the National Sports Committee, the National Olympic Committee and the support of all Mongolians. I want to thank you all." Supporters are hoping the Mongolian athletes will continue performing well in future Games. [Oyunsuren Bazarsuren, Mongolian Supporter]: "I'm very excited. It is a golden medal! I'm too excited and cannot find the words to describe how happy I am. I hope that the next Olympic Games we'll have many more gold and silver medals." Mongolia won one bronze medal in Athens in 2004 and one in Atlanta in 1996.

The residents of Ulan Bator in Mongolia woke up to an uneasy calm today after voters claiming electoral fraud attacked the ruling party's headquarters. The feud has led to the death of at least five yesterday.

The president has declared a state of emergency for four days, after protesters set fire to the headquarters of the ruling party. They have clashed with police well into the morning. At least one foreigner, a Japanese citizen, is among those injured in the rioting. Around 700 people were detained for their part in the violence. By daybreak there was a heavy police presence around the capital square and the roads around the government building have been sealed off. Mongolia's election committee has yet to give the final result of Sunday's vote, but preliminary results give the ruling Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party a clear majority in the 76-seat parliament. The General Election Committee of Mongolia vowed to press on with vote-counting. But the leader of the opposition Democratic Party Tsakhiagiin Elbegdorj rejects the results, even though international observers say that overall the election was free and fair. Some residents in the capital blame the Democrats for the post-election violence. [Demberal Ninj, Resident]: "The thing is, it is wrong for the people defeated in an election to take revenge this way, by sacrificing people's lives. It is especially wrong for Mr Elbegdorj who provoked the people to do this while staying away from it himself." The chaos threatens to further delay deals that could unlock vast reserves of coal, uranium and other resources beneath the country's vast steppes and deserts, and are seen as key to lifting the isolated Central Asian state out of poverty. Although ruled by an unstable coalition government for four years, the country of vast grasslands and deserts is often viewed as a rare example of democracy in Central Asia. The state of emergency means protests are banned and authorises security forces to break up protests using force.

WONG: And now a rare interview with the wife of a prominent Mongolian dissident. The wife of a scholar named Hada, talks about how the region has been overlooked by the international community, and how the survival of Mongolian culture hangs in the balance. STORY: A Mongolian scholar named Hada was tried behind closed doors in 1996 and jailed for 15 years for separatism, spying and supporting the Southern Mongolian Democratic Alliance. Now, Hada's wife is speaking out against her husband's detainment. She says she's harassed by local authorities and that her house is under strict surveillance. She isn't even able to leave the country to attend an awards ceremony. [Xinna, Hada's Wife]: "I went to the local police station to ask for a document (for my visa). They refused to give it to me, citing my husband's case as the reason. I asked, 'Isn't this kind of an implication' and they answer explicitly, 'Yes, it is'. A policeman said he would lose his job if he gave me the document." Hada's son, Weilesi, says visiting his father is becoming increasingly difficult. [Weilesi, Hada's Son]: "Just by visiting my father, what harm could I cause to the state security during the Olympics? What rules have I broken just by taking notes of what daily necessities he asked for? They kept saying that human rights situation in Mongolia has been improving. My experiences can clearly tell that no improvements have taken place. Xinna says there's a growing sense of dissatisfaction amongst ethnic Mongolians. [Xinna, Hada's Wife]: "Some rights of the ethnic minority groups have been denied and some requests have been ignored. This causes dissatisfaction among the ethnic minority group and conflicts between them and the Han people." Inner Mongolia is an autonomous region, but like Tibet and Xinjiang in the far west, Beijing keeps a tight rein on the region, fearing ethnic unrest in the country's strategic border areas.

(also spelled Kazaks, Qazaqs; Kazakh: Қазақтар IPA: [qɑzɑqtɑr]; Russian: Казахи; the English name is transliterated from Russian) are a Turkic people of the northern parts of Central Asia (largely Kazakhstan, but also found in parts of Uzbekistan, China, Russia, and Mongolia).

Mongols fights with Merkits! Mongol Battle! Mongol Genghis Khan Bodrov battle fight Sword Medieval Temudjin Merkit... Mongol part1, part2, part3, part4, part5, part6, part7, part8, part9, part10... Mongol New Trailer 2008. Sergei Bodrov's Mongol Movie! Mongol Music! Greatness comes to those who take it. The untold story of Genghis Khan's rise to power. Don't despise a weak cub, it can appear the son of a tiger. The story recounts the early life of Genghis Khan who was a slave before going on to conquer half the world including Russia in 1206. Mongol is made by an award-winning Russian filmmaker Sergei Bodrov (Prisoner of the Mountains). Here Sergei illuminates the life and legend of Genghis Khan in this stunning historical epic. Based on leading scholarly accounts and written by Bodrov and Arif Aliyev, Mongol delves into the dramatic and harrowing early years of the ruler who was born as Temudgin in 1162. As it follows Temudgin from his perilous childhood to the battle that sealed his destiny, the film paints a multidimensional portrait of the future conqueror, revealing him not as the evil brute of hoary stereotype, but as an inspiring, fearless and visionary leader. Mongol shows us the making of an extraordinary man, and the foundation on which so much of his greatness rested: his relationship with his wife, Borte, his lifelong love and most trusted advisor. Filmed in the very lands that gave birth to Genghis Khan, Mongol transports us back to a distant and exotic period in world history; to a nomad's landscape of endless space, climatic extremes and ever-present danger. In a performance of powerful stillness and subtlety, celebrated young Japanese actor Asano Tadanobu (Zatoichi, Last Life in the Universe) captures the inner fire that enabled a hunted boy to become a legendary conqueror. Asano's achievement is matched by those of his co-stars, including the radiant newcomer Khulan Chuluun as Temudgin's courageous, spirited wife Borte, and the Chinese actor Honglei Sun (The Road Home) as the Mongol chieftain Jamukha, Temudgin's dearest friend and deadliest enemy. Masterfully blending action and emotion against some of the most arresting terrain on earth, Bodrov delivers an exciting and awe-inspiring tale of survival and triumph, and a love story for the ages. MONGOL will be released on Friday, June 6th, 2008. 124 minutes. MPAA Rating -- R.
