a fight for survival. now with the nato summit just around the corner we sat down with one of its key participants to get his view on what could come out of it the slovenian president the new low turk says a russian partnership could play a big role in the alliances future he also discusses his country's battle with the financial crisis and whether there are any regrets about joining the e.u. . the president of slovenia thank you very much for being with us today it's my pleasure but the nato summit is coming up in couple of days and you have played an active role in promoting closer ties between russia and nato how much do you think nato has to change in order to recognize the value of partnership when late there

has to change and nato you know search for a mission for a long time after the ending of cold war the did to me the question was if nato is necessary at all but the mission was never completely defined and i think that it cannot be defined without a true partnership with russia and we don't have a cold war anymore and we have to figure out what to do this new partnership means and i think that in lisbon in the coming days we should come closer to that definition mr president proposed european security treaty do you saying it actually nato leadership into a concept review president medvedev proposal was was an excellent beginning and that the it generated a lot of creative thinking in nato and i think it actually contributed to the new strategic concept of nato which is much more open and which is which is much more appropriate for

a already have partnership between nato and russia and i'm talking about the assessment of security threats commitment to the chart the united nations and also on the possibility to establish partnerships with regard to mr defense what do you expect to see. concept announcement anything new or or something that you definitely do. expect to see well i think that we should see a meaningful step though words partnership with others and i think that that's the key in the new strategic concept the platform which should be used to teach a concept offers would be appropriate for reaching agreement on security threats reaching agreement on the sons and nuclear weapons i think that these are all security challenges which have to be addressed is through institute of strategic concept talking about more about one slovenian concept this living is dependent on

e.u. cohesion warrior especially now that the commitment to its rules is under review by the became our houses the opinion has been affected very badly by the god and financial and economic crisis and that has had an impact on the system all fueled the common currency to which many evil members but not all be long and now we are in a situation where we have to find a proper financial stability mechanism a mechanism which would be appropriate for management of financial crisis of the future is gross domestic product dropped the most among the sixteen nations sharing the euro plus down employment that has hit through the one hundred thousand mark do you ever regret joining the currency what are the main pros and cons almost three years after the introduction of euro people have totally accept that you would as the cotton see in the country and they know that obviously the lack of monetary.

and the inability to devalue the national guard and see is a problem when when the market markets are low the solution is seen better adjustment to eurozone and john that in the improvement in our competitiveness and the necessary changes in our economic. social model which will allow competitiveness to grow in those social stability to continue. anglo-american push against the lisbon treaty budgetary criteria do you see this as a power shift from brussels to berlin there has always been a division of power so to speak and i think that we should not forget the european union is not a state european union is a system of sovereign states and in that context germany as the major contributor funds the european union and the major economic powerful powerful

european union has a legitimate reason or denied that it is a leader. but it has to be exercised in the manner in which. solutions would be that interest will be in union also e.u. has said these are free regime with russia but the details are still they know on a ground what do you think would be a good step first good step in this direction but i think we need political determination first i think we need to change the political awareness about this things but the indian opinion there is still patient and i think this has a patient has to be overcome freedom of movement is a human right we should never forgot that russia is part of europe well certainly in a cultural sense in the political sense yes but i see certainly russia as a part of european space it has been so for centuries supreme asli

you've called for a multilateral framework to consolidate energy supplies to the e.u. markets as of today not much has been done in that perspective how do you assure you consumers of the security i think we need a much wider multilateral outlook because energy security depends on the most multitude of players. russia is always there russia is a key player a key supplier a key partner and most of us in europe have extremely good experience with russia i mean we have been buying russian gas in slovenia for thirty two years right now because paul was worked perfectly so there is no reason why we should be in any way i'm comfortable with where we need russia in that multilateral framework but we need to this is where both consumers and suppliers that has not been done because we have work on specific projects more than stream solid and stream the book call

and other projects but i think the time is coming to look at the whole picture and to work. cooperatively range meant for the future well you've touched upon south stream how would the development of south stream change the energy sector in slovenia what exactly do you expect from we see the multiplying effect of the gas pipeline because the gas pipeline brings not only gas it brings other economic activities it brings gas based electricity plants which we need them others need in the region and we can develop that to produce and. you know this is an opportunity it's really a basic opportunity and let's look at this opportunity in the call put it the framework with more confidence than we were used from before you speak about them all to a lateral framework in terms of consumer and supplier but you also previously on different occasion told r.t. that one should connect with where the energies and their energy is in russia why

is e.u. so persistent about number well i'm not persistence of india is not the part of the book a project by your part of the e.u. we are part of the e.u. and we would like to see that we don't see this as a mutually exclusive projects that we believe we believe in the south stream and we would like to progress rapidly a book or is a separate project but modern one. that excludes the selves three roger and i would like to i'd like to see meeting where both would be discussed as i said we have to improve the level of confidence is this questions this president slovenia was one of the countries to be consumed both by fascism and communism during world war two he actually stressed the importance of the red army and its role in liberating europe from fascism but as it seems today as if you were placed under threat especially during a recession what do you think you should do to tackle the rising fascism. i'm not

sure whether the extremist movements that we see today fascist movements in the sense of the first of the twentieth century this a different movements what we now all have is a burst of dissatisfaction among people who choose third and against immigrants in particular so we see. elements of racism elements of children isn't. late the bring them being brought together into into a sewage and that is movement of our time and we have seen this in all parts of europe that's very worrying we see this from from south to north even in sweden this kind of policies have made progress in the in the past month we need obviously the conservative christian democrat element which has to be strong and which has to do spawn to the part of the population which is patched with the addition of christian values we need we need the left and liberal socially minded

politicos actors as well they have been somewhat in decline in the last years or so but they have to figure out what the priorities of our time are where does one really improve. the condition all for working people and and how does one improve so good that it needs. persecutions for political idealism is also part of your country's history and we can draw apart us russia and poland are trying to mean just to reinvestigate to cut-n. horrors what advice would you give to those who are actually seeking to recover peace from their past well there is a very difficult question and i can tell you we in slovenia have a also our part of the boss that we have not been able to overcome it we have constant discussions about all of this and the constant. reflections the tragedy and not only tragedy but also crimes that were committed and this healing

very slowly in our country in slovenia and i swear we should first of all of them all crimes it is spec who committed them we have to bury old the dead and buried them with dignity we have to commemorate that. all who died and that you know is not easy to do because there are many who would say well you know why should we be turning to the postes and i agree we should not be we should not be enslaved we should not be prisoner sort of our boss we have to find a derived measure. at the code at the theater was that mr president thank you very much for this interview. letter.

unfriendly highness so yes just fifteen minutes to go until kickoff invite on the dick advocaat leads russia against the country he left to coach them all the build up that's next. hello thank you for watching this fourth of this is a taste of what's coming up. friendly how you stick out the can get ready to lead russia or against his former side belgium the two teams wait to kick off in the south western city alone. while time with just two weeks to go until the host nation is announced russia's world cup it gets a boost its feet there says the country is no risk. lungs and cooling fresh from winning the world championships russia's women's volleyball team targets and goals in twenty twelve. let's kick off with football though and in just a few minutes russia will begin hosting their international friendly with coach

dick advocaat form a side belgium however they're not playing in moscow or some petersburg but the match is being staged in the south western city of little notion with the aims of bringing international football to the region. yes but up off reports. russia are getting ready to host a friendly against belgium invite ornish and it's not the first time that the national team has held a match outside moscow but every time russia has hosted a match in one of the provinces it's an event however the squad is still tweeting in the russian capital and will only leave for what on ish on the day of the match . i think it was the right decision to tell the match in verona she will even a huge country and people all over russia would like to see the national team we can start by playing a very and then play even give us talk for example. was a good idea to play where we play tomorrow night. because all sort of people go there because he was there as well if you play maybe against belgium you know.

people will go. home now thirty two thousand the russian players will do their best to entertain the crowd especially when you face it look at has called up three new names to his squad and on children from dinner and looking at t.v. . their first caps when another dutchman guus hiddink was in charge and now they're getting a second chance. hometown and he will probably receive a warm reception from the fans well told central defender victor wesson from spartak magic is totally new to the squad and design a trio of alexandre and you cough who are demon was thrown off in a good denise of the match due to injury meanwhile alexandre kids is a slide out and he didn't take part in the training session. i'm a little bit tired as it's the end of the season and if beefed up a small injury so i'm not training today but hopefully i'll be fully recovered by tomorrow. but look at who's nicknamed the little general who was only the coach of

belgium for a short time and resigning can slightly criminal circumstances however the sixty three year old doesn't seem to be fazed by the prospect of facing his former side. is just a country. we play against them and out of play we know the players. but for us for me it is nice to see some people back for the rest. mother. there is little to play for in the friendly marriage advocates mere atop a few a twenty twelve qualifying group b. with nine points of to four games and woman who is be eager to finish the season only highlight it when you can think about double o.t. . meanwhile russia's former coach has sitting his trying to reverse the fortunes of his turkey side as they play the netherlands announcer down hiddink has suffered a terrible run since taking charge turkey have lost your germany and azerbaijan in that euro twenty twelve qualifiers and he's dropped several first team regulars for

the netherlands game which the dutchman says will be a good experience for his new team more or less for us more of the test match because we have more new players compared to the dutch team which is already. at least two years or more. almost the same composition playing which gave us a huge advantage but that's why i like to see my players to morrow how de de can oppose that. yeah that machine which is playing very well recently well in contrast netherlands manager but van marvet he's not bringing any surprises he's opted for a conservative squad of the arsenal and by munich have already registered their concern over the call ups of strike out robin van persie and not fun formal coming back from injury in the european qualifiers the netherlands stand top of group and midfielder jonny heitinga things and love it for bringing in names all the time is

right. if some telephone player is always welcome in our team but that's up to the manager but our team is still young and we're still hungry to win the games and especially after the. especially after the summer. yeah everybody wants to win all the games and elsewhere england are also affected by injuries as they prepare to host their friendly with from. consequently key players including john terry wayne rooney jermain defoe and actually call it all absence it does offer a chance for some new faces including sunderland midfielder jordan henderson and striker j. boss roy a place for championship side cardiff and to scored fifteen goals for his club so far this season. more or less what it. has been one of. those. what you know going in you know really supposed to have been

a conscious effort. on and off the show. and it worked. that's for france the coach norman blome says the game is just one step in a long rebuilding process after their failure at the world cup the former defender took over after the tournament in south africa and has recalled boss alone to defend the addict albert del patrice evra and nickel and they'll remain overlooked bacary sagna samir nasri and forum leader are in the twenty two man squad they front rebury still injured and even they won't admit the squad is not as strong as those in the past he believes france have enough talented players to start winning again. for the group. we have had some great size before but what we have got now is a good group of talented players who are beginning to grow some of them are playing in foreign leagues some of them are playing here in england and what i'm looking to develop is a top center and these players grow in programs to learn in other dimensions of

their play and other style and another facet to their play while playing in different leagues as well as playing in the french league. and those are among twenty eight international friendlies taking place on wednesday night. back cantorian qualifying group being with russia. has given us. more training time prospects as twice world cup winners argentina face a five time champion. four time winner this. so they've got to remain am informed germany travel to sweden northern ireland post war off the republic of ireland welcome to norway portugal host and iberian battle with world and european champions spain. meanwhile ahead of all those matches fever has released a new world rankings where russia have slipped down three places drop out of the top ten into certain spots there are no other changes of the top ten in the world and european champions spain are still in the list of top runners up the netherlands on second with brazil in a place that followed by germany argentina england you're quite going to go to

a shelter not egypt but there's one place to capture ten spots. greece and no one is there ahead of russia occupying eleven and twelve spots respectively the capitals men are high up in two thousand and six world cup winners italy and also russia euro twenty nine campaign croupy rival slovakia orating. meanwhile russia's bid to host the twenty eighteen world cup has been given a boost after fifo described it as a low risk for officials visited all the bidding nations in the summer and have completed their inspection reports russia is going for the twenty eight team tournament along with england and a joint bid from spain and portugal they are all considered to be low risk by the sports world governing body while the joint bid from holland and belgium is deemed to be medium risk mainly due to a lack of government guarantees the bits of being marked on seventeen different criteria however fifa says there are concerns over russia's transport links and england's training facilities and hotel provision while security is an issue in
