pleasure now one of your recent article says that russian democracy the stale making baby steps is also something that we've been hearing for the past twenty years what is coming in its way to becoming full fledged the most important thing is history heritage. all the western countries started democratic development in the eighteenth century they had the legal basis for democratic development russia hasn't peed in illegal state. and when you start to create democratic institution with no established legal system. there are causes corruption. causes only potence or those in power it causes wars about you know where wealth. it causes. wars about property and property in

the rights of that well established so i think that is the major problem for russian though. before making great steps leaps in democratic development the government has to establish the legal system here their democracy will develop naturally the index of russia's to plan for two thousand and nine two thousand and ten at by the law that cloudless pretty critical was the core of the criticism when they western experts accusing itself actually there was no critical index. actually what the some members of the club. to answer the question was how would you estimate russia's development during last year in certain areas. in one area the development was considered to be positive

that was economic. in one area i think it was devoted to. demonstrations i think that was. regarded as negative all the other indexes which were the experts were supposed to speak about were neutral well also primary premises ask the pretty spins of the form to staying and south from trying to scare us with china that was his quote why she will be scared of china what are its what are its chaplet objectives well there was a question. whether russia scared of china. russia is not of course china is the rising power probably the rising superpower or a superpower seven to the united states before the crisis everyone was saying that china will reach the united states maybe by mid century no it looks like there's

going to be in the twenty's of this century china is the challenge to everybody for russia it's also a challenge of rising powers borders challenge of demographic pressures and many people in russia are scary both as development is quite trivial to say in russia these days that relationship between russia and china today is the best ever well president that i've also requested for any strategy a strategy to be devised in the asia pacific region how should russia build up its economy in this region what should the needs tragic be like problem for russia in asia pacific is it is regarded as a serious political player it is a serious military player but it is not a serious economic player yet so for russia the challenge of asia pacific is to become

a part of asia pacific market which is the biggest market on earth and russia is. making serious steps in this direction all the projects on subtly in ireland for example we are the projects to develop natural gas oil and l. and g. production is oriented towards the markets of asia pacific japan china russia is more and more active or in the market of atomic energy in asia pacific and it is not just china it's vietnam and some other countries of southeast asia russia is very much. interested in investment from asia pacific countries one interesting figure. during the is here is a year or years of economic crisis for investment into russia from the west

decreased but if you look at asia pacific. foreign investment from asia pacific to russia tripled. during the time of crisis there is a very important development so also one of your recent interviews you called russia pacific country does russia sate self as one i think russia should consider itself as you are a pacific power. russia is still looking for its identity some people say russia is a european country and it is because our culture is european and our trade relationship mostly with the european union more than sixty percent of foreign trade on the other hand russia is bigger than europe. your asian country because most of its territory is in asia and there is also quite an important side of the russian life but in my mind for russia the most promising geopolitical

reintegration is europe aciphex. like one more country in the world which is here a pacific and that is the united states you're pretty much answered my question but if we were as of now to say where do russia's priorities lie can it face to the east and the west equally our priorities are east and west russia is european russia is asia some people say russia is just an independent central power some say that russia should be part of the western community some say that russia should look eastward or southern southward. my feeling is russia can build on its relationship with the west but it is quite unrealistic to assume that it can become part of the west because integrating into the western community here in the e.u. it means membership in the un nato which is quite problematic russia in my mind is

too big and too russian both for a rippin union and from nato. they're not eager to see russia inside well goals are russia pursuing by proposing at common european security strategy russia's goal is to make russia part of the european security the irony of the situation that russia which is an important country in europe. a important state is not poured over european security system as of today the european security system is nato where they are part of it so the proposal of mid video to build common security space is to bring russia and some other countries which are still like ukraine into the common european. security decision making for you on those

politicians who believes that nato is an outdated organization every organization which exists is not outdated it exists. and of course some missions of this organizations are somewhat old dated and some of the thinking inside nato. data the nato bureaucracy is sometimes old data nato was created. as you may remember to keep america in germany and russia. and america in the real purpose of nato but you know keeping germany down in russia outdated missions but sometimes it looks like that these missions are still there you know barack obama's new federal security strategy says that as no one country even the strongest one can. actually faced world challenges alone is this one politician speaking or oil really see

a change in a water order well i think there is a change in the united states which is i consider long term. of course a bamma started this change taking you to count several things the problems americans have in different crisis serious like in iraq and afghanistan where americans first moved unilaterally almost unilaterally and then figure though that even america the biggest country with the biggest military potential cannot deal with situations and in countries which were considered to be minor problems. and this is one thing another thing the economic constraints on american military might and the crisis shows that the in the national debt the need for more social spending for

a recession measures well all that limits the material before policies of using force and also this is a recognition of the growing importance of the other soldiers of power including china including india brazil russia and few others which are playing a greater role in the global community so that is something which is recognized as a reality here prostration of weapons of mass destruction has actually swap places with terrorism on america's priority list of threats and challenges does this mean that the u.s. will coralie be focusing itself on iran and north korea right now well it looks like from what we read in american strategic documents and also lately north korea said that it's playing to enrich its at nuclear arsenal to counter the america where. russia play at this point our way to intervene somehow where we can step

back russia is not the major player in the game but the possibilities of the russian federation to influence the behavior of piniella is very limited the current leadership we shows no change in north korea very or champions of survival they consider their nuclear weapons as the only guarantee against american or. south korean. attack so i heard myself a. top official saying that americans do not have nuclear states and that's why we're nuclear there's their logics of course the north koreans are very much interested in direct dialogue with the united states and i think there is still possibility for diplomacy we're talking about maybe change of powers in north korea a son taking over is a good thing or nothing's going to really change no one who actually knows it looks

like the same litter ship which is no residing in china except children. will still be there but i don't think that anyone can really predict it was going to happen there thank you very much. into the country. by means of. tradition language or you. just go beat the beat. the drums are still unaware of what's going on in their mind you're still asking me

what you. like. i don't know if you want. the. children of russia's political unity of being above the law it comes as an eighteen year old girl who rammed her current two people killing one is facing every trial due to major violations and procedure during the first hearing. brickell prepares for huge cuts to public services as the government aims to slash its massive debt

olympic committee turned his home to carling over the weekend to boost interest in the sport as the country searches for talent ahead of the next winter olympics in sochi and michael survive reports. in countries like canada sweden and norway curling has been a national sport for hundreds of years attracting thousands to stadiums and gluing millions to their t.v. sets therefore it's not a surprise that those nations are leaders in the big medals count according to a poll conducted by the russian curling federation ninety percent of the population in the biggest country on earth are not it is familiar with this winter discipline as statistic which is in desperate need of alteration especially ahead of the twenty fourteen olympic winter games in russia's black sea resort of sochi. getting its oatmeal curling is five hundred years old while in russia it was established only twenty years ago thanks to enthusiastic it's still alive here today the new calling federation said two goals for the near future first is obviously to win medals in sochi because it will be our home winter games and second to make culling

available to the masses at the moment when we have four hundred people actively participating in the sport and that needs to change. and amateur tournaments held in the need to build curling center in moscow is just one example of popularizing this sport the presence of the national debate committee alexanders your golf took it upon himself to introduce it to the masses in russia however this is just the first step towards a possible future in a big lorry as more drastic measures need to be taken. if the country wants to triumph at the upcoming winter games established four in south and is set to help russian curtis raise the competition bar in domestic tournaments currently an experimental national team includes three canadian curlers and a coach that's not a month or stupid canadian athletes an expert is that we've invited will help the progress of russian cutlass if they want to become naturalized citizens of this country well it's their right to do so of course we have plenty of talented athletes and coaches here but curling is a new discipline for us and i hope that the elites of culling will help us raise

a good start remarked cos for r.t. moscow. and that's all the sports news for this bulletin i think. sure is that so much but here's a look i mean was it ever really a mission obvious what is the relevance of the argument and should be questioning the logic of an institution that pace of us.
