which is loving kind of thank you very much for your time and agreeing to my pleasure now one of your recent article says that russian democracy 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 have no legal basis for democratic development russia hasn't been illegal state and when you start to create democratic institutions with no established legal

system. there causes corruption. causes only potence or those in power it causes wars about you know where wealth. it causes who wars about property and property in the rights of the world well established so i think that is the major problem for russia no. before making great steps leaps in democratic development the government has to establish the legal system here there and democracy will develop naturally the index of russia's to plan for two thousand and nine two thousand and ten by the law that cloudless pretty critical was the core of the criticism where their western acts persecution 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 a 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 private premises ask the pretty spence of the forum tip staying themselves 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 skiddy both as development is quite trivial to say in russia these days that relationship between russia and china today is the best ever well personally 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 new strategy 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 only projects on subtlely an island 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 and 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 he years year or years of economic crisis foreign investment into russia from the west decreased but if you look at asia pacific. foreign investment from asia pacific to russia tripled. during the term of crisis there is a very important development so also in one of your recent interviews you called russia a hero pacific country does russia seat 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 it's 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 asian 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 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 pored over european security system as of today the european security system is nato and 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 are you one of 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. though data the nato bureaucracy is sometimes old dated nato was created. as you may remember to keep america in germany and russia. and america in is the real purpose of nato but 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 securities tragedy says that as no one country even the strongest one can. actually faced in 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 it in different crisis there is like in iraq and afghanistan where americans first moved unilaterally almost unilaterally and then figure though even america the biggest country with the biggest military potential cannot deal with situations and in countries which were considered to be minor problems. this

is one thing another thing the economic constraints on american military might and the crisis shows that 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 we should recognize as a reality here appropriation of weapons of mass destruction has actually swapped 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 putin young is very limited the current leadership we shows no change in the north korea or champions of survival they consider their nuclear weapons as the only guarantee against america or. south korea. attack so i heard myself a. top official saying that americans do not have nuclear states and that's why

we're nuclear that'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 the sun taking over 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. will still be there but i don't think that anyone can really predict it was going to happen there thank you very much. it's the secret incursion into the country. it's the invasion by means of. tradition the language is really. the first to go beat the beat.

culture. and the germans are still unaware of what's going on in their minds still that's more. like. i don't know if you got. the grade. on our choose. which brightened. from sons to pressure. for instance on t.v. dot com. the children of russia's political elite are accused of being above the law i comes as an eighteen year old girl program her car into two people killing one is facing

every trial due to major violations and procedure during the first hearing. and britain prepares for huge cuts to public services as the government aims to slash its massive debt but economists say it may not help prevent another financial fallout as policy makers haven't learned their lesson. and new york is quickly losing its reputation as a city of bankers and luxury stores the number of people with homeless shelters is growing fast or the gap between rich and poor bigger than india's. that's the headline here in r.t. up next all the sports highlights one of the units. morning and it still looks to close to call for russian premier league yeah that's exactly right you're on the ball marina everybody just keeps on the winning at the top of the premier league so we just don't know what's going on but more on the rest of the sport coming up.

know it's just time for me to to go out in the race and do the job. from the track to the greens we go richard greene produced one of the performances of his career and sunday overturning a seven stroke deficit to win the portugal masters the man in the driving seat heading into sunday. stuck in reverse the spaniard with. arnold palmer the course in villa mora contrasts not to greene who raced to support before finishing bogey but those final few holes mattered little. was written down the thirty nine year old winning by two shots from. third to topple. on to the gridiron finally where the bird of prey belongs to the eagles this week following a comfortable win over the falcons on sunday philadelphia halting atlanta's winning streak up four games with former michael vick looking on from the touchline even

sikorsky has more. rights mike smith than the falcons with a chance to assert themselves as the best team in the n.f.c. the eagles had all their plans to sean jackson getting the ball into reverse and opening the score in the first quarter the twenty three year old also effective in a more conventional way calling in a thirty four yard pass from kevin caught up to make it fourteen nothing still in the opening quarter. philly speedy playmaker however unable to skate with hughes the robinson in the second the eagles' home crowd holding their breath with both players motionless on the field jackson eventually helped off the field as he set out the rest of the contest with a concussion robinson meanwhile was left with a fifteen yard penalty for him in a defenseless receiver and had to make for the sidelines as well jeremy maclin then made it twenty one nothing to the eagles making sure his injured teammate wasn't

missed legendary tight end so many gonzales answered. the falcons cutting the deficit to twenty one seven half time break. again feeling the big very fast jackson eighty three are down past for twenty to ten and the third thirty one to seventeen the final score of the eagles flying. plenty of worries but no problem in houston at the end of the day for the texans the visiting kansas city benefiting from the all around play of mike brady bill the thirty five year old defender to showcase his octets of prowess in years past surprising to texas again scoring in the first. chiefs in the third quarter with. short best long game and school showing just why houston's past offense has been their a key this season twenty one to seven kansas city few difficulties on the other
