and there are nine hours to fly and from eight hours to flight what are we going to use this entire race to prepare for. off a course we will be developing and will be developing football in say beer and thereby coloration and in the russian far east. for certain for the sheriff and ship will hold it in thirteen. according to or over quite a few fights ten to twelve thirteen towns and cities i think it's across west and it's not bad i think it's good. and i can tell you because you will probably ask such questions you will be asked which according to preliminary calculations for a construction of. the neighboring infrastructure is. a hundred billion rubles a. ten billion dollars compared to was preparing and holding the championship in south africa but much of the stadiums in

moscow the luzhniki stadium is in moscow the second stadium in moscow is called sport. it will be built. another stadium and. the stadium will be built with. fielded the preparations for the university games. then because of the gracious for the olympics and in st peter's gorog from his building and. all we have to do is to find money to build several stadiums to join to. have a whole complete picture holding the world cup what i'm trying to say is that we hope that. even slightly reduced to. three hundred. programs have been employed implemented because of other programs. please the floor is yours russia has the olympics and the world cup in the next eight years

the united states for three and has none of the above what do you tribute your success to and their failure failure. and how do you feel about this. quite understand your question do you want us to give you. a limp dicks to to give it over to her something what do you want from us. didn't manage to win this beating what. do you want from us i don't quite understand. what sets russia apart russia done so well but what do you think is the key to your success. i believe there are several. plans.

in seven or eight years and. was making a decision. where things. peaceful stable. that there are some turbulence is going on which they don't know what kind of result skinny old in syria for four or five years we have a stable political situation this immersed second. incarnum has been developing for. careful a draw there well we wanted to develop it and letter we do have many problems associated with the need of. our economy and the increase over the last ten years but it will increase of our economy in russia annually averaged seven percent. well . in general we have quite

a quiet social atmosphere why because during these years. seven point four percent. was the growth so far real proof. of the citizens and four point two percent was a reduction in the number of people leaving. already and we are implementing large programs. in the areas health care and sports development i believe. make decisions about holding a large international competitions. they do consider this factor moreover i just said that in reply to one of the questions i believe it's very important that people will communicate with each other and talk to each other through russia within the frames of the soviet union behind the iron curtain was developing.

itself and now a stream board and afraid to open up to the world and we are grateful to people who are unable as doing so. mr. abramovich very well and he has a special knowledge. of world. and he special plans for mr abramovich. in the build up to two thousand and. it's been a bit of. a region for several years and he was doing quite a good work there people know him from this side. say that his nola garden he bought the shell see the football club. and people are both

positive and negative about it in russia but mr abramovich is helping the development of russian football as well he supports one of the club's mr bromwich one club to support say it's a secret information and. regulations but nonetheless. we are aware that. is very. very attentive to the development of russian football and in general he can help us to prepare for the world cup but. it's. just that this part of the work is possible but it's called the private stage partnership when ellis' are going about building stadiums i mention that in one case one of the large stadiums spark that will get built by our a large oil company look while. another stadium will be built. with financial support of the bank. in the other territories we would.

miss in order to. state expenses and. then mr can help us in one of such projects. let him spend some money it won't hurt him his got a lot of money surreal it won't hurt him. the floor. question about. the president of russia. there's a. kind of embarrassed stance. i've answered it so many times . you know. where friends and we.

decide who will take. decided. when the right time comes we will make. the world. president. i assure you. the decision of the great. please the floor is yours. is it really it. please the floor. i want. this is crucial.

that i have to. work on such a way as we would keep everything that we were. there for someone to build as they will be disassembled in their regions of russian federation. football but i have to agree with our openness with our former recent. who are saying. infrastructure of very underdeveloped and. will not have anything in excess. hoping that. environment as in many other countries for the club the football club. to be self-sufficient economically efficient.

private money and private capital. for adoption to minimise the state expenses and in order. for private business to. in any case they will not stand. at the moment where unfortunately. objects in our country like the sports developed european countries will have no problem at all for the neighboring infrastructure i'm talking about airports roads some places . perhaps. these will serve for decades and they won't cause any problems by the way. preparation for the war at the world cup in the. two thousand days will be funded by different articles. on your for

developing the infrastructure of such prime disarray deplaned in the budget for two thousand and eleven twelve and thirteen the floor is yours. can't terry unfortunately. sport express. firstly my congratulations and then what do you think within these next eighty years our country has to grow our country has to grow in order to present. you know what i have no doubts at all though we will fail to do something ty emily or do something to work while anyone moreover i have no doubts that our recent rivals are yesterday's rivals in this will be getting i doubt that there will assist us and there will provide us with friendly suborned if you will just

the way it's happening today in our for ation for the olympics i believe that nobody has any doubts that everything is going to according to the plan there is huge large scale war going on and we have companies working from the from you are from the earth america they are working as one family and not just companies but they have people working for prepare and support events. where ferry grateful to them for doing this and i am absolutely convinced that we will you support of our colleagues in the united states and in the united kingdom and in other european countries netherlands belgium spain whatever. you know. when there is defied going on for is the right to do something to host something it's going on with quite hard look but after the fight is over in the civilized society things always happen this way. her jointure up the good business atmosphere and.

we have enough mine to let me repeat we will probably need some consultation assistance and i have no doubts that this support will be granted and this means that we will show a good level of preparation and we will not be ashamed to the contrary it will ever . but you will be happy about the way russia prepared to these contests please the floor is yours. because it's relation we're going to use it for. her for watching the world cup or when we tell him takes because these both events will happen in our country. is watching how we win. no matter what is the world cup or olympics or within these contests competitions. prime minister how much of the world cup in south africa were you able to watch and

what lessons do you think russia coming from the way that germany run its world cup in two thousand and six in the way south africa has done it this year particularly in relation to getting fans involved. because. this is a problem i can understand what you're talking to and we do have. in our country but nonetheless all large international conversations which we held there recently . they were at a very high organisational level. with meeting all the security measures and standards for both fans and our fans and those travelling from abroad i know the some guys are really rough coming from some countries but nonetheless in russia there were axing quite peacefully and there really hope that

we will consider the experience of the world cup of south africa and other countries and we'll ask for advise of our partners and will receive on terry thing happening in the world of warden and i'm sure there will be a for two thousand and eight zene. life will not stand in place they will keep developing all these things will be considered with minions and we will work together will not just log inside our shell and just thinking to ourselves. we will stay in close contact with the entire world directly and strophe for. the floor is yours. mr putin you talk about developing football in russia we hear a lot from russia about racism at football matches what are you going to do to make sure. in twenty eighteen subjects to racist abuse.

is concerned. it's existence many countries of the. matter how you try to do. that on a country it happens quite often. well there wasn't an hour in the country when a fifty year old guy a was drawn into an electric both where he burned down it wasn't an arnold tree and many other manifestation. of such a lines. and we leave it is a problem that a fortunate little have. problems nonetheless i want to have. holding all kinds of large international compositions. enabling complete security.

racism and other national and their religious intolerance it's a global problem and russia is are fighting it just like any other would. do it persistently in future. the floor is yours. what would be for you personally the best match in finals. and like to see our russian national team to win which is a real hope for the so happen. to be now the floors yours will move over here later . from the. prime minister congratulations on your victory fee for africa. subjected to some strong media scrutiny about their preparations for a world cup do you expect the same scrutiny from the international and russian

media over the next seven years. that was our media are a very strange and i just sorry media but foreign leader. they were very strict about their first steps. work. for the olympic games in sochi. russia has a large scale it very very complicated work sometimes it's even technical and technological. because there is a man. that requires more than eight hundred bridges and very tunnels there railroad office that will run up to mansions and new highways. supply fly sewage. a large amount of objects and infrastructure but he. would have been implemented the work has been started for and i believe. present

russian for a civil justice careful with the way we are the world cup he would let me repeat and then you can do to the fact that that will be landing holding a number of large competitions let me repeat that. the university games in cousin the olympic games and. their world cup the football cup the these enable us to make. part of the. competitions. basically it makes her task here but when your stand that the trolling up savation will be very hard and very straight but we will do our best. do you think you released yesterday by showing solidarity with her members helped

you to win votes and it was a rather a statement could you specify precisely. yeah . people are always hurt a. good one other stride to criticize them or push them down bring them down but i think that's the most important thing the most important thing is what i said about it. is their willingness to expand the borders of the world football. but they have to be expanded by means of those countries that are capable of hosting the cup and russia is capable of doing so the. good evening mr prime minister but in. russia is one of the because countering the

. many people. wrote. me. both. and you won the war. but about the philosophy. two thousand and eighteen russia twenty two a countering that. russia is like one and in comparison with one elephant one as a comparison with the big skyscraper what do you think about the why is very strange two thousand and eighteen one of the biggest and two thousand and twenty two. companies. you have already explained it. to thousand and twenty.

i think basically it's the same kind of logic to reveal new countries to football to open your said that russia is one of the largest countries in the world let me. don't be mad at me please correct russia is not one of the largest but russia is the largest country of the world. territory wise he would. doesn't determine the par of the. part of the state is determined by the level of wellbeing of its citizens primarily in this sense and this direction we still have a lot. to tackle the issues we need to. take steps and one of the main. point to the world but we hope that the world will be fair to words russian. you probably know that. there are probably.

four journalists here but you may have heard that we are trying to join the world trade organization and we are working within our there in the truck sure is and we hold dialogues with all our partners no matter how difficult that dialogue is. i believe. events says the world they bring countries together and they bring together and it is very likely that they will provide. developing the economic cooperation and tackling even the most complicated political. nonetheless we should relate wrap up the floor is yours to. the. issue of transport of the particular potential risk. around the country particularly where travel is concerned.

but. you know what we're saying if you don't for a ski don't get to drink champagne this is a russian but for us. true. gold beyond. the. one we cannot control the situation which of. russia should be in the largest country. notice never. how we were planning to develop. here and. as for seventy two we aren't. that shampoo and ship yet. because the championship will take place in russia which is actually a different picture as far as a distance is concerned. that even in that territory there are quite

a number of problems from the viewpoint of developing transport infrastructure. but it's not even for the championship but we have already implemented a staged program to develop transport infrastructure including airport infrastructure and road infrastructure and in our budget of the country already has huge amounts of money for this and that's how we're going to develop it at the s. for preparation for the world cup of course we will adjust our plans according to the championship but we have to do it together. executive comedia they have to give us what has to be done and where you will develop those plans. develop the legal basis. to the government agrees and if it's required we will make laws as we have done in the appropriation for the olympics and so should it wasn't for to make those laws and we will work within those laws. well you ever had asked me

a question about but most of this basically is for a center stand you have run out of questions but i still i still see your raised hands let me lead us a final question ok and work tirelessly over the two years of the beard and one of the things that he's been stressing that this world cup will help eliminate lots of misconceptions maybe some people in the west have some people outside of russia have about your country what for you are some of the biggest misconceptions people have of your country outside of the. you know there are a lot of stereotypes and stamps which were going to heritage from the past from the times of the. stamps these terror type flies. buzzing people's ears scaring people away but in their reality. the

reality is different when you. see how we prepare the world and then you come to our top you'll see what russia is like then you travel around. you get to talk to people and you will feel the country better. i think now it's not the time or place to give it develop characteristics of us is developing russia is on the rise and. it will become even stronger and i want to thank you for your attention. she wouldn't today's. so friendly. towards fresh. but why difficult. for their variety of hosting the world cup and i want to say that. surely a risk. with a bit of snow which this time warner and wish wanted to host the world which

certainly could and would have done it brilliant. i have no doubt. that european countries and united. and would do a great job posting their world cup i have no doubt. and i'm sure there will have the chance. and you will keep supporting in their search for hosting these positions just the way they are for us in our preparation for the world cup two thousand and eighteen. thank you very much bye bye. with a report from her address. i've been listening to for the last what my own fifteen minutes live here on r.t. the gathered press also thinking of course the fee for selection committee who if you may have missed the news for any reason today picked russia to host the twenty eighteen world cup boy let's talk about what we've just seen there peter all of us braving the bitter cold outside of moscow how they're paid you're listening in to

what mr putin had to say he promised didn't even he would be there if russia won and he did as he said flew straight to zurich tonight to give a comprehensive media coverage we just see he didn't come earlier as he didn't want to pressure the fee for committee as he was keen to point out five other p.m.'s on a future king did attend today that was one of the questions from the press there from the other competitor countries they were successful it seems that putin strategy paid off here. well it seems that way there has been a lot of talk over the past few days really won't be really turn up retold on where did they did he would not be turning turning up to the to the precursor to the decision to pull what you just said they actually didn't want to put any more pressure on the delegates they're going for a bit of a hard time of late especially in the media in the united kingdom he did show up after the after decision has been made after russia were given those twenty eighteen world cup.
