1:30 am
the main tools for raising living standards in russia taught today's guest is the man responsible for the implementation of this project as well as for the work of the international olympic committee how are these projects doing we'll be deputy prime minister alexander. the national projects were introduced by. their objective was to boost the development of vitally important sectors of the economy like health care and education but with a little news on this project the media is speculating the work has sold but the man responsible certainly hasn't in charge of sports development alex on the brink of a successful abroad the twenty eight thousand football world cup to russia. and thank you for coming to our studio in the hello let's start with the high priority
1:31 am
national programs they were the center of attention a few years ago and the newspapers and t.v. were talking about them they were discussed everywhere both officials and deputies paid a lot of attention to them now they're not so what has happened to national programs do they still exist. they do exist and despite the crisis seen two thousand and nine which was a tough year for our economy for many reasons as well as the budget issues the financing of the national program has been increased both last year and this year the programs are underway. in this sphere of health here we are building more than the high tech medical centers and the pira natal centers. there is a program for provision of ambulances. so you know we're just we're quite active on the broker. you know education we can speak about the
1:32 am
creation of federal universities. we have so many of them at the moment all of them have been finished and there is a separate program for each one. of got there are about thirty other university is which received our support our new school program supports comprehensive schools. right the post the income addition construction program has support to offer to you that are in some of the great patriotic war in provides mortgage support. which sleekly the mass media have really paid less attention to the national programs probably because they have developed a lot don't you believe she does so which as for the national health program it will be implemented by i mean so but it's serious modernization of the health care system within the next two years. or so you mean the newspapers only write about
1:33 am
a bad things is that so well that's not the point but i think that may be boring to write about one in the same thing all the time you know if it's future priority there are other important topical issues like the economy what an association another's. ok what's your personal estimation of the programs effectiveness what about to come a day sion has become more or less available as the quality of education improved as a health care become more liable. there are evaluation criteria for each program and there are quite objective for example the health care program the life span in russia has become four years longer in the past five years but during the nine hundred ninety s. and the early two thousand we were losing our population the mortality reading exceeded the birth rate that was that two thousand and nine was the first year in russia when the number of populists. stopped going to. what about the reasons for
1:34 am
last ban increase is due to birth rate growth as both putin and medvedev said oh because people now live longer and you know their lives spent has become longer due to the mortality rate decrease the embers raise hell like that all depends on the method of counting right you know the counting method is very clear infant mortality has decreased significantly maternal mortality decreased due to better work old much unity hospitals and the construction of new perinatal centers and more tell t. in accidents including road accidents has decreased pretty knowledgeable too despite all those horrible accidents that we hear about but on the whole the number of crude accidents has decreased almost by one third so the overall mortality rate decreased by twenty three percent over the past two years. but russians continue to be almost the world's leader in killing each other in car accidents yes but the
1:35 am
mortality rate has become thirty percent lower that it's but thing is that the number of car accidents is approximately the same but the number of deaths in road accidents has decreased because we've improved in the ambulance service has become significantly faster and the quality has increased to reduce the number of fatalities. well you've mentioned that newspapers have new topics to write about one of them is the world cup football championship in twenty eighteen ad with russia won the right to host it in your opinion what was the advantage over russia . but why did they give the right to os which for me with the it's a real trick. well i think that the reasons are very similar to those for white sot she won the right to host the winter olympics. the international federation of association football once football to develop in different parts of the world is that it's giving the right to host the world championship and to the
1:36 am
countries the word has never been held in or just this year neither russia nor eastern europe ever held the world cup championship and that it's a world championship he was a huge impetus to the development of the football league in the host country we've seen that in south africa was that where they built quite a number of new stadiums and sports and other infrastructure at the same will happen in russia i'm sure that it was among the main reasons why i gave this opportunity to russia and not spain or the united kingdom where they have the entire necessary infrastructure very good stadiums and hotels there are building all the use in store for us here but that this will help the development of food was well you got that secondly the government has provided certain guarantees many
1:37 am
may not believe it but construction isa really under way in salt we are constantly under strict control of the schedule but everybody sees that we are fulfilling our obligations and that the cuban guarantees on construction of sports and other infrastructure are being fulfilled too i think this played a role to the course of goals. if i'm not mistaken and the russian bid says that for the period of the championship russia will drop its visa regime how will it work like you show your ticket to the championship on and to the country absolutely will there be any restrictions the rules will be the same as for. tsotsi olympics fans who would do tickets will be admitted to be in effect we are now negotiating who balazs mint of the research team with the e.u. but not only european fans are expecting but also from african nation the rule be to same for fans from all the countries so a person with
1:38 am
a ticket and has the country freely like it the future winter olympics. afraid that having such a ticket many unwanted people may find their way into the country to. well you know that such advances the olympics and the world cup require special security measures. and in fact we have such a program for so chilled ready and now we will work out a security program for the world cup so the issue you've mentioned will be sold by other measures all right you've mentioned that russia's bead for hosting the world cup twenty eighteen implied that we lack many things we're going to build for it firstly with its new stadiums can you say how many stadiums you're going to build from scratch for the championship we need at least twelve stadiums and there are two or three stadiums already ready for the championship no not
1:39 am
a single one actually not a single one no evolution you can steady michelle dealing picks in one thousand nine hundred even luzhniki. you flew sneaky s. used to play to final match into requires serious reconstruction to construct the natural surface and many other improvements even though the present it's the most prepared in a stadium and russia has them with you and despite the fact that recently we held their european league matches dear all the same listening requires reconstruction you know i don't mention all the other stadiums but if we are to bear in mind that will have a new stadium built in tsotsi it's an olympics to. which will meet all their requirements by twenty thirteen will have a new stadium in cazan for the university games at the moment there are several stadiums under construction for football clubs in moscow and st petersburg in moscow there for dynamo seascape sport talk clubs and in sync work its incentives
1:40 am
stadium they will be built all the same but in other cities will have to build new stadiums like into a stall some are across the dark kaliningrad. but our national football team was recently playing in verona why can't we use the stadium for the championship which was a horse because a world championship stadium is supposed to house more than forty five thousand spectators. are you going to increase the capacity of some of the existing stadiums know will build new stadiums from scratch the new ones all reconstructed once it's hard to upgrade your fifteen thousand stadium to forty five thousand one it's easier to build a new one for us through. says alexander deputy prime minister spotlight will be back shortly after we take a break so we will continue this interview in less than a minute stay with them.

if you didn't find me if i could just live through the night that i would get my kids out of here because i knew that what was going to happen was that he was going to kill me many victims don't understand that domestic violence includes verbal abuse psychological piece physical abuse and sexual abuse at least four million women are affected by abuse every year those are my only two options that i saw at that moment either i'm going to kill him or me in jail or he's going to kill it. down the official antti outlook a show. called touch from the top story. life on the go. video on demand. costs
1:43 am
and already says streets now in the palm of your. question. dot com. back to spotlights i'm going off in just a reminder that my guest in the studio today is alexander deputy prime minister and president of the russian olympic committee. mr zucker after our team's success in the junior games in singapore you said the following i quote in the future we would like to host such games in russia for example and cazan will have a whole infrastructure's for that end of quote when can we be ready for that. quite recently the general assembly of olympic committee as in mexico we met with
1:44 am
mr rog president of the audio cd and discussed this issue. he suggested that we should think about hosting the youth winter olympics of twenty eighteen in salt. and possibly the youth summer olympics because on twenty twenty. one unlike big events like the winter and summer olympics and world cup championship on which they usually choose the country is aware of infrastructure rezone we developing tools but given the i.o.c. has another opinion about the youth of events they think that there are to be held at minimum costs then there's money because they're less profitable bright they're not profitable and besides there are four children so in this case because on we'll have the entire necessary infrastructure in we wound have to build anything and beer they cost about that they will be ready to host the utility except for two
1:45 am
thousand and thirteen and twenty fourteen respectively. mrs wykoff you've mentioned the crisis year which was a very tough year for russia but now the economy seems to be getting better. actually russia's money and it's huge money. but will the budget of such a big countries russia manage such a number of sports events social impacts university a we should mention the world cup championship twenty eighteen formula one plus many other scheduled events we hold in this gun. these are huge expenses that. you know i have known that will fulfill all our financial obligations regarding both government expenses and private in this city you know that investment for the olympics and the world cup are mostly private films and i've talked about studios construction so part of them will be built at the cost of private investors and
1:46 am
clubs. but i would like to see that both the olympics and the world cup of twenty eighteen before they're even profitable projects from an economic point everything that will be built will not disappear but will stay there. at the costs and the costs are passionate return selling t.v. rights and it's outright of course tourism and many other things related to both sports infrastructure and other things like new hotels for roads and so forth sure it's a big investment into the country's economy. when we speak about the olympics it's about the development of the sochi resort which is going to be both the winter and summer resort the one the other cheese so we can speak about the development of any russian cities. let's see if russians themselves are excited about hosting huge sporting events. there has tried to find that hi there well recently russia was
1:47 am
chosen to host the two thousand and eighteen world cup with that it's in them but you do events which will be held in russia only or puter. well let's see the russians think that they can she suppose such events is a big games world cup formula one grand prix. yes i think we should in order to develop a sports infrastructure but as we see yes it will be good for the development of our sport but it should also serve as a good incentive for our youth. yes i think it is a good investment for our country and i mustn't i think we should only host the world cup and not deliver the games because i think that money which will be spent on the olympics should be spent on people however the world cup will help better the conditions for our soccer team next you know because our government should first of all think about our people and improve their living and social conditions if they knew that you would not i think we don't need all those we didn't because
1:48 am
there are so many other areas in our country which are in need of government support i don't think those events are any good to our country. i think it will be good for the status of the country but i think those events will have a negative impact on the economy of our country. out of the text and that he's going to question if i guessed mostly group will this lead to convince through tax increase for russians there are more reliable polls in russia in both people's opinion on such olympics if we held the polls ourselves says it's one of the i.o.c. is requirements at the bidding stage at that time about eighteen percent of russians voted for the so much in winter olympics new and now. people apprehensive yourself of course the yard but we have to realize that social programs like their state health care program and a pensioner is program more than a program on education and hosting the olympics in the world cup are not
1:49 am
alternatives that are likely doesn't mean that he we hold the world cup championship who will stop financing social programs it's not so much the program. i repeat that that in my opinion those events cannot be viewed as expenses. on a contrary they provide economic development for the country and at the end of the day they boost economic growth which will cover the costs at the expense of mr zhukov after the games in vancouver serious criticism was made about the russian national team and russian sportsmanship and a serious conclusion obviously suggests itself i do recently you mention or did speaking about preparations for the olympics two thousand and twelve in london you said so far we cannot compete for the championship with the teams from the u.s. and china is it a conclusion made after vancouver games and what are the conclusions have you made
1:50 am
you. know in this quarter i was talking about the summer olympics because the chinese are not so strong in winter sports as yet. in the summer of twenty eight twelve london will host the summer olympics. and then sought she twenty four team comes students there good at the previous olympics in we were third the chinese who were first in their mir can scheme second. object to it i think at present the situation is approximately the same there was shorting to the results over all the world competitions you know one pick sports which have already taken place in two thousand and ten we are second after the chinese with a small difference of won the gold medal if i'm not mistaken. but to make it fear we should admit that there were no championships in swimming and track and field in
1:51 am
which americans usually get a lot of medals of course so to dig the distributional forces approximately like that it may change before the london olympics we have. in rivals in the united kingdom they will be at home and at home everyone usually has the advantage of this the germans are strong but at the same time ones are favorable circumstances so we could go further our task is to do the utmost to train our athletes we worked out into egil training programs were each sport in each federation we allocate significantly bigger amounts of money for preparation so if course we expect the results to improve which. can you disclose a secret right now i know there are of us but we will make this sound lower can you say is there a goal to become number one in the sochi olympics there is such a wish. yes the research a goal. was behind it it's clear there's the olympic success depends on the
1:52 am
organizers efforts everything should be organized perfectly but we want these olympics to be the best in history and we understand that success also depends on how our athletes perform with the nationals so our program is made assume that our team should be first in this that when you have an unpleasant question for you who is the georgia has started to discredit income pain against the sochi olympics at an international level. it is news already and the thirty ninth general assembly of the european olympic committees you had to struggle if i can say so that in your opinion does georgia have a chance to sabotage the sochi olympics. force i'm sure that ensured you won't find support toward simitian to boycott the olympics or call it off in the i.o.c. is not on the money almost all i.o.c. members have a firm position on that but it looks strange because sports are beyond
1:53 am
politics which are it's an axiom of the international olympic movement in all the provocations are related to ten so called. games under different predicts will not believe in anything but. i think that sports organization so if the olympic committee of georgia understand it very well that's good but unfortunately georgian politicians though not all of them of course would resort to such brawl with cations but in my opinion they have no chance for success one more question about scandals have to doping scandals the international ski federation gave russia time till november first to adopt a new anti-doping program what's new in the program did russia manage to adopt it and what was the international ski federation's reaction might be a ride by november first we presented all program in
1:54 am
a set of measures which the f.i.o.s. demanded from us in connection with the doping cases. you know and all the satisfied yes d.f. i ask is fully satisfied by the thank that we have removed the athletes and trainers who were involved in developing scandals. i must see that it's the policy of the russian olympic committee and the government there and the sports ministry to fight doping in russian sports where she's comes in i think we will be very strict about that in the future space about space to both shows going to the thank you very much for being with us and just to remind us that by guest in the studio today was alexander the deputy prime minister and president of the russian national olympic committee and that's if it out from all of us here if you want to have your sales spotlight with someone in mind who you think i should interview next time just to play a lie that i'll get off the bat out are you and let's keep spotlight interact we
