you know all the things that come with citizenship and it is also political construct it is the policy of european integration do you think that is your opinion may be eroded its the concept of national identity by bringing all those member states so close together and by raising all the borders between them no the few opinion integration has done is refined national identity in the good old days of the battle days you know long before nations were identifying themselves you know position to the. sword so so many reasons for having so many wars in europe now it is that and we can cooperate mix and travel and still retain our national identity so you don't think that the modern globalized work has played to the advantage of national patric system well you see i mean those two probably have very little relation to each other really well and

nobody's ation is. trading more. knowing more therefore about the child to learning more about the child or what is happening that we simply learn a heck of a lot more about each densities and what is what would constitute the constituent elements of the identity so we simply learn more about each other but i think it doesn't really change what identity how do you see the row with easier the next twenty years oh boy that is a question that i don't think anyone has any answer for including the people who are the you see the your details some guesses that really well you were referring to this old old question that many have. no form of the. well it can probably go in three different directions. become

a federal state why don't you give us a big federal state but unusual because it would have three levels of government rather than two that's one possible direction another could be just a union of. states. kind of maintaining. along the the traditional type just like it is now. right moral that's all or even. a third. state. that. we cannot even think about because it hasn't happened yet do you think. all the europeans are happy with the concept of european european union i know what it means to be happy if i can kind of turn your question around and ask are there many europeans who are unhappy with the e.u.

and i would say yes there are some but not because it would have been reflected in the national policies of the governments of the member states the euro skeptics are usually on the margins of political life and they are certainly not even close to decent minority if they think about the new as a political force what does depend on it for easy to become a real political force on the world arena be told reduce a political force of significance it it's a bit unusual because he doesn't have a knowledge of me he doesn't have. new it doesn't have all the usual requirements that are assigned to a state because it's not the state but it is quite influential and it has. its presence in setting felt in many corners of the world you know that in america for example. so it is

a force to be reckoned with but its its significance is not braced on its military power or the threat of using military power it's not a. political force that can be conceived in purely realistic terms realist is only partially a political bold tool to denature the right now it's experiencing crisis like any other organisation country or at. its political force does it depend on its handling of the current crisis and how it's handled the problems with greece and with the euro while our problems are difficulties and. they have to be dealt with and resolved but you see judging by the history of do. it has many crises or what was perceived to be crisis at the time for instance

around the ratification of the maastricht treaty forums for example the euro paralysis for example and every time a things like that happened what what emerged after wards is accelerate the process of integration so if you hear right now about. the european monetary fund the finance ministry for the euro zone countries. that is probably what likely to emerge after the problems with greece and with be deficits are dealt with to prevent a crisis like that to happen again they will probably take all the steps that they can think of to make this less likely what do you think will happen to the theory or whatever you may think. we think that if they fall the here it will be catastrophic for us as well what do you think is the real danger that so. things

may happen to iran that would not be just catastrophic for russia it would have been. for the euro had it happened and the rest of the world would have been affected i mean the euro has again a lot of strain. it is in default of many central banks around the world and that is something that would affect. europe and beyond and if for no other reason than that reason alone is probably going to assume that it was less likely that the euro would. look at european union. where they are in their relationship well as far as russia is concerned to russia has so on the. in the early stages of learning what do you being a union is it really started when mr yeltsin was over this is the first time when you know people in the kremlin. comprehended the idea of dealing with the.

direct through the leaders of the member states. then it became quite clear what the power within the e.u. when it came to the problem of the visa mr putin trying to arrange that with then. german. chancellor and the french president and well it didn't work. so. it it i think this it is probably accepted in. probably a good idea to do with the director and that's how it started. well you know if for no other reason than the reasons of geography that you have to have a relationship and it's better of course for both sides at this place where it is based i'm called peroration and not based on facility now the problem is that the

process of integration with you even those who have been you know from the very beginning and most integrated the joint i was less than those who have to have joined to recently have with a few problems with russia right because the former soviet bloc countries and of course their impact on the policies of the e.u. moscow is present and it is at least for. everything for knots that i would still want to emphasize on the relationship between russia and as you've sat the younger members of the european union for instance poland will take place my last tragedy which is huge. ships had been there passed before that could you say that maybe this tragedy fortunately or unfortunately it brought us together i think actually also it's one of the results of the small things that. both science have become

more willing to take another look at the charter. and kind of started the relationship mr putin was more than forthcoming in helping and you know attending the needs and i think you know dippold do appreciate that maybe not each and every one of them but many of them. are reflection no. the changed tone between the two governments. and that is i guess the the one of the good things that has emerged from something that otherwise. everyone has been saying in the west that russia needs to get away from its dependence on oil and gas now for the past two years maybe that's it has been saying that as well that russian economy should be depending on that what should russia do to really move away from its economic dependence from oil and gas what

russia really needs is to make sure to create circumstances conditions at home that would actually make investment in russia attractive. and that means that investors will come only when and if. they are. convinced that they've been taking economic risks. there will be no political risks to take they also have to have an assurance that if there is a say contractual dispute. that there is someone who can adjudicate that in an objective way following the law and nothing else so that means that russia needs a independent judiciary russia doesn't have one at the same time. you know russia should be quite attractive because potentially it is a fabulous new rich country so russia has the makings the foundation for

economic development it's just that first and foremost the political infrastructure for that to happen as long as. a high price then the money is flowing and that kind of makes everybody. satisfied but if the prices go down and since it's a market they may and probably will then what. death is something that. the political leaders of russia. should be concerned about. thank you very much very interesting thank you.

to give them a bit of a sniff of a comeback and that to me also missed a penalty for them but scored in injury time i agree that made it for an aggregate but i x. three on the away go was ruled. another game celtic failed to make it into the playoffs despite its a one second leg home win against braga the glasgow side losing two four on aggregate that the nomic here have had no problem these ukrainian side claiming a three one victory in the second leg to make it six one and i could get for them elsewhere a spot of prague or secured that playoff spot off the beaten legs away in the second gang. meanwhile in europa league russian premier club sabir have a great chance to make it into the playoffs today as they take on a pole in the midst so it's a big. hoping he so i can hang on to that one only from the first leg of the third qualifying round in siberia about their first ever game in european competition

elsewhere liverpool are preparing for the second leg of their europa league qualifier they hold a comfortable two new lead going into thursday second leg at home to the macedonian side. meanwhile coach roy hodgson now has made sure his star striker fernando torres will remain at anfield spain forward had been strongly linked to city and chelsea but assured fancied stay with liverpool the hardest thing to see. but the. fifteen minutes with him really was the most impressive. piece of football you do when you're. in the going long term it's not difficult to find the right things to say. he's decision really had to be one that he he had to make sure he had the motivation to be here to do the job as he knows i would

like it to be done and the good thing for me is the motivation was put into question by the speculation but as christian told me don't worry you'll be with. a little too often he was the he was what now a premiership rival chelsea looks set to bolster their squad with the signing of brazil midfielder amir is from benfica the clubs have a greater price tag of just under twenty nine million dollars as long as the player passes a medical team would be the second signing for chelsea in the pre-season. from liverpool and i could be a bit of movement in the russian primarily the normal moscow league in the chase for fly in midfield. performers any skipper hasn't been getting too much playing time from coach. waspada moscow still waiting for celtic gating to make of his mind about a speech to the russian capital the winger has been looking at the apartments in moscow and is being tempted by a wage of over three million dollars that's after tax.

very nice to me the n.b.a. is old a star shaquille o'neal has left the cleveland cavaliers and signed a two year deal with the boston celtics his wages are reportedly with three million u.s. dollars to the thirty eight year old for time and be a champion hopes to add another title next season as he would play with paul pierce kevin garnett and ray allen and change the big three into a terry big four. let's turn to go off because the heat is on tiger woods this week his number one ranking am placed on the u.s. ryder cup team are under threat as he heads into the world golf championships in ohio gets underway at the firestone country club on the stand to look within and the west would have the chance to claim the number one spot which is held for the last five years but. has won the last four times he's played at this course and another win but also chances of qualifying for the u.s. ryder cup team however his form has not been great since returning to the game

following scandals in his quiet life although white says that phrase will come just be patient keep working keep building i've been through periods like this before. and just kind of keeping patient keep working keep building. keep putting the pieces together and when they do come and they do fall a place. to shoes or when i will when a few tournaments and finally we end with a bit of white water rafting because although russia is senior team fail to claim a medal at the recent world championship since you are the proud claiming gold in their adventure in this still a strong future for usher in the sport with all the action here is constantine but top off. this year's world drafting championships and all the history as the first amount of its kind ever to be held on an artificial course the three hundred meter i would always want to run a track to fifty teams from twenty five countries to compete in the world greatest rough to me and which also saw the first youth championships being held five star

elite teams from brazil germany japan and russia tried their best to tackle beantown towns with plenty of spectators watching the impressive showdown there are four disciplines this green to simple whoever completes the rank weakest wins let's see if they can avoid getting thrown out there were a few flips and some of the raptors ended up swimming one of the most spectacular disciplines is the head to head two teams trying not just tackling the tricky turns but also battle it out on their way to the finish line it's an ideal chance for the competitors to show their river skills and calm with maneuvers the next challenge is the slow i'm looking for rafting disciplines the course consists of twelve games him the over the rework and the rafters have to draw on their best. nicol ability is to complete the route. the final discipline is the physically demanding don't river crews have to rough don't the route down have to run uphill back to the top

and with people left several times rushes lish and the team is always along to hold favorites and all roughed into animals but this time the russians failed to get enough medals to get on top ending up in the fifth place. it was the first world championships held on artificial course and we don't have such facilities in russia as we train on real whitewater nevertheless when you are opponents very well and we knew what we could expect our men's team got to hold in sprint but then we didn't succeed in other disciplines however we had some trouble as one crew member a broken leg and we couldn't perform at full strength. japan's rafters have showed swiftness in cost years and this time to grab their first ever title in both the mansour and women's divisions however russia absolutely dominated the youth championship bulleting men all in all for the disappearance in the men's division and becoming the all girl champions and we see what he actually did we initiated

holding the world youth championships that we've been developing raft among the young to be a force since two thousand and four and every year we are lots of competitions across the country so i would say that i would try out in the world championships because as a result it is not only about results that are enough to support help the children and their personal enhancement sometimes that apply to character and if you can train them are you still not making them fall down and of course we try to make it more popular track more kids there rep it's may have been manufactured but the stamina and strength shown by the world's rafting elite was more than real. archie . and that's always fall for me for the moment stay with us a bit of news headlines coming up chile. hungry for the full story we've got it for us the biggest issues get
