that will perhaps a concern some but not us we are tough guys. thanks to the last question mr president listening to you i'm sure that many here in the all i had to correct some of the perceptions say that of russia you showed us the modern russia open to russia what is for you personally suppress separation which you encounter where we often in your discussion about russia which makes you most upset wong perception what do you feel you see the biggest long perception of a lot about russia. mum was led to believe i would think that the beautiful in any stereotyped chant

but it's the least receptions i knew what it was that as i think can i really. well the more be distressful and i wouldn't think that there is just one sole thing in this regard which would. make me feel extremely. upset emotional. city and sometimes it's unpleasant to read certain things in it and you know what struck me in this regard. in the morning when it involves an internet let's say through this well known gadget here. and there would read some. reaction or. regarding russia and the russian government

and me personally. i can tell you. waking up a freshly i lose all the beer in there with sleepiness on the other hand i get to wish that. promptly respond to some of those. actions through tweets. to. give a call to the present administration to dispel some wrong perceptions there but to the story then i would shelve this sketch it. because no need to hurry. it you need to act in a clear cut manner with all the precautions taken with it anyway the truth will always find its way very last question you are very young

president. and when you look now at your present presidency. i know it's a question rich you have rounds of to a certain extent but what is for you personally what. what is your tiring force as as a procession you work so hard you don't sleep. what your what drives you. when it goes that efficient but i think the answer is very simple. that i would my work is very interesting it took to. shoot that in the g.'s but if you give them those presidents who think otherwise differently among the most probably they're deceiving themselves. makes you be devout such that each that's who you mobilized for twenty four hours

a day in this responsibility to prove the issue which you feel who believes that day and night it's wasted on a responsibility before your own country and before that people who have elected you need to it but them slow down when in this case you can always find some strength in your that reason even though if you're very tired of those a jet lag or if you suffer from jet lag but it's what you need or even some unpleasant things are happening because the i think this is. the most important thing for any person including the president which can give you life and therefore version of my work is very interesting and very important to me mr president in your are important work really offer you all the best wishes again also on our condolences and we hope said hugh.

continue. your for explain to us. all best success thank you very much for coming but. for russia's president just finished a question and answer session with the chief executive of the economic forum in davos in switzerland before that question and answer session he gave an address in the opening session of this forum which is due to take place now for the next five days there in davos just to quickly sum up what he said not only in the question and answer session but also in his address he began by acknowledging the solidarity from the world that russia has received as a. as a mark of respect to what happened recently in moscow at moscow's main airport the suicide bombing that killed thirty five people on monday saying that no state is immune and that in fact terrorism is

a global issue and should be addressed by the international community also said if the terrorist intention was to bring russia to its knees and prevented from attending this economic forum then they failed he also referred to the world economic crisis is proving to be a very hard one to tackle and that new ideas are needed to achieve further growth and of course to overcome the problems that many global many international economy is suffering from at the moment he mentioned the impact also of social networking the power of the computer and that indeed that governments around the world should now acknowledge the power of social networking and warn that poor internet regulation could put some economic structures if not political structures at risk he also acknowledged political environmental and security issues are the key challenges facing the world community at the moment and talking specifically about russia he mentioned of course that the country's often criticized for its lack of democracy the weakness of the judicial system and assure the audience there at the

world economic forum that russia is a developing country and that it is in. in many aspects but as a president he is open to help from the international community but certainly not open to lecturing materials based economy he said is not sustainable and indeed of course at the moment russia is an economy that relies on its own natural resources on its wealth of minerals but he's saying that russia will have to diversify he said of investing in russia will be made even greater by including generous tax rates for all those who want to invest in in russian business and indeed saying that russia is modernizing and it will involve global partnerships in other words he opened his arms and said yes russia is a place for international investment and he said that his task was to turn russia into a positive environment for international businesses and of course opening its borders to experts in science and technology and making travel to russia and business in

russia a lot more accessible briefly mention the african unrest the tune is in problem saying that this is a lesson that all governments should learn from and he was asked specifically about corruption in russia saying that this is clearly and negative aspect that puts off international investors but he accepted that the culture must change and he is indeed addressing the corruption problem here in the country as president now let's focus more now on the economic aspects of what was said after all this is an economic forum although he did of course address many political issues with me is all of his business presented to meet with don't care to discuss those economic issues. obviously some countries are still in crisis others are pulling out of the crisis what to do the president say about how really the problem should be looked at what caused the initial economic crisis all he said i think it's important to know that we're in the year twenty eleven of course the past in two thousand and nine twenty ten everybody was talking about the crisis and whether the world was ready to actually come out right now he says we should not we shouldn't relax the

whole world should not relax we've tackled some of the reasons which. caused the crisis but not all of them and in order for economic growth to continue there needs to be a new model for a new sustainable model of economic growth and for that to happen there need to be partnerships of course in business there needs to be a unified approach to tackling certain financial issues of course sovereign debt he mentioned was a very important factor which is right now as you've seen is shaking the markets in europe there are problems and certain economies which may lead to a new crisis this was what he said i mean i don't think i've heard that from any other leader over the past six months no evidence pretty confident but he says we should not relax russia's position at the moment modernization what does that entail well when talking about russia's economic position he actually acknowledged that russia is well less dependent less developed than than other economies and

that russia is moving in that direction but it's tackling corruption specifically to make its investment climate more attractive for international money in this very important to have international investment into the economy it says that he says that russia is doing what it can it's wants to learn from foreign experience of course but. of course other nations should not be teaching as. lecturing russia of course about modernization doesn't in just involve the legal framework here the corruption issue but also the infrastructure this is the largest country in the world and yet the infrastructure that's got to be modernized too and russia is well behind on that moment isn't it yeah that's absolutely true and his actually was a bit weird he mentioned ten points that russia is addressing right now in infrastructure was actually the the last but not least as he said of course it's very important and when it comes to infrastructure and the banking sector these two

sectors are the key sectors when it comes to privatisation which is going on right now for this. visits tens and billions of dollars worth of shares will be solved in russian state own state controlled companies to foreign to russian and foreign investors to private capital uses private capital is very very important in this respect mention also diversification here is a country relying very much on its natural resources in what way will we see this country now diversified well what he says. what he was saying yes indeed having a country which is totally dependent on natural resources is not a state it's not a stable economy which is least dependent on natural resources and it will not lead to the welfare of its population and this is the primary concern for the present that the population is happy that it develops and becomes richer and for that to have a needs diversification of course away from natural resources and that means developing other aspects of the economy that is infrastructure that's creating special funds

for example that's easing taxation force for international investment to come over that's creating a financial center in the capital of russia. that's having unified rules with other countries of course when it comes to dealing with them that it was very import for russia to join the world trade organization it was a bit. familiar in his approach to talking to his partners saying that you know you will promise that russia will join the world in this year and really counting on you but surely a lot of that also counts on the relationship now russia has with the european union with european countries it seems that russia obviously this is an economic forum happening a switch and it is very much looking towards the e.u. now rather than the east i mean just how key is now business investment and encouraging business in the e.u. in russia's development there's a lot of money of course coming from from the european union and one of the key concerns from from europe is of course energy security in that needs to be upped to

and in order for that to happen just talk about energy security. what we wonder what does that mean in other words russia supplying a lot of energy to europe but people have been very worried that russia could have what a monopoly and actually use it as a political weapon yes this is one of the accusations which has been going on for the past five years but he says he's confident if cooperation and coordination and unified approach to. international rules if russia joins the world trade. organization for economic cooperation and development and then creates a unique economic space with europe and that will happen just finally it will be really convince the international community to invest in russia to make it appear and to guarantee that it is a sound country to invest in yes this was basically the main message of his speech and the experts we actually talked to before say that this is the russia is this country which is very attractive for it he was opening up the forum there russia was leading the way in the economic forum there in davos and certainly it is all

very similar if you very much indeed and. for his reaction there from our business department now in just a moment we'll bring you the very latest news headlines and then we'll have the sports news stay with us live here on r.t. moscow. question is that so much of an oldish each musician by. the country into a country divided lebanon faces the prospect of a government controlled by hezbollah will live on stem a product. line in. brighton if you knew about someone from fans to impressions. from star totty dot

com. and his opening speech at the forum in switzerland said terrorists were trying to bring russia to its knees with monday's suicide bombing at a moscow airport but the president just did they had failed and called for global solidarity against terrorism. in russia bombing victims of people gathered to pay tribute to the thirty five people killed one hundred of those injured remain in hospitals and some are still in critical condition. plus russia's upper house of parliament unanimously ratified the nuclear reduction deal with the us the final step before being signed by the president the treaty will see each nation's deployed warheads reduced by a third. and i'll be back with more news for you more developments in less than fifteen minutes from now in the meantime sports news is next with.

hello there you're watching the sport and these are the headlines. hearing into this means of one of the over sets up a loss for clash with clijsters the aussie open. but it's a sad end for nadal the top seed holding out to david for their. would jack bid terry q coach in his bid to sign for scotland international. we start with the aussie open nowhere russian videos of one of the over has reached the semifinals beating czech pets record it over in straight sets and admitting afterwards the bombings in moscow how effective coming into this match the number two seed wore a black ribbon on her sun visor during the match is a mark of respect for those who die but once out on court she is fully focused on

getting racing through the first set six two and even though it could put up more resistance in the seconds of a movie over still wrapped up the mcnamara fifteen minutes afterward she was asked by reporters whether the bombings had affected her preparation. you know you still have to you here in australia when you have your match coming in you just tried to think about that but definitely there wasn't you know there was a moment where for the bit uncomfortable you calling you know back home and making sure everyone is ok the people that you know and then you know just try to put it put it away this it happened it is terrible but you know you try to move on what next stop for was one of the over is the u.s. open champion kim clijsters who class pole could advance of the belgian world number three had her left leg heavily strapped in did squander some break point opportunities but that didn't stop her from taking the first set six three but advance his serve for set at five four up in the second but clijsters claw her way

back in. to seal the match and hope to be sharper because of one of the old. just physically from the retiring and just heavy out there today and i think. you know just try to recover well and try to do you know just be a little fresher i think physically and mentally i think. you know i fought well and stayed really focused trying not to lose too much energy on. getting frustrated and things like that so yeah meanwhile rafael nadal is adding to thaw injury early on for the world number one against fellow spaniard david ferrer obviously and despite a lengthy start for medical treatment he could only hobble through the match leading in straight sets and by the end you could only skate back that is service and didn't put up much resistance from match point a great shame for an adult who's hoping to become the first man since one nine hundred sixty nine holes before grand slam titles one so. i go and say nothing

about the injury so. i will prefer to talk a lot the most dangerous. first of all i don't know not think and say one thing for respect but that we are on to a friend. about. things that are very high level. i discovered that. all the best for the twenty five. maybe. but i didn't make game because she's thin or if you see it's our. show they were just making next up for for in the semi to the number four seed and be married to britain needed for so to get past alexander paul paul has been a surprise package in the men's draw and after losing the first two sets came back to take the third but mary responded closing out the fourth six three to seal the win ameri was

a finalist last year leading to federer his place with things are progressing in melbourne. was just difficult to get into a rhythm of running and you know if you want a lot of reports of those first or some. you know it was. also a go. well another tennis season elbow injury has forced just seen him enter a tire from the sport for a second time or the twenty eight year old how to write armstrong joined the aussie open by she lost in the third round to russians first line of business over before the tournament the former world number one had been sidelined for six months with elbow problem. football and russian premier league side target grossly have failed to sign scotland international kris boyd terek have given the new manager will it a substantial transfer kitty but this latest target for the dutchman has formed through boyd currently playing for a championship side middle stress saying he had no interest in going to the chechen capital well it meanwhile has been holding

a first training session with derek there in turkey at the moment pre-season training ahead of their first match against reigning league champions and some pages terry finished twelfth last season and management stayed at a simple this coming season. for the first possible it's whether you ladies. elsewhere a strongly believe they have a great chance of lifting their thirst football my first trophy in football they face japan in the final of the asia cup on sunday after thrashing is becky stands six nil in the semi's the socceroos just so fast called thirteen goals and only conceded once in the tone of sunday's gang will be the first ever major final for the strains and the team understands the significance. of going to say this will make up for a loss of the world cup this is just a strain as a team going out and trying to win a tournament i think we've had enough experience now tournament's that we've put

serbs in a winning position and we have to make sure we keep to the strategy of one game at a time and then again we concentrate on now is this one. so we get that shot of the title japan meanwhile will try to lift the trophy for the fourth time in their history they beat south korea in the semi's on penalties thanks to the heroics of their goalkeeper he saved two of the three penalties missed birthdays at their own news men are only one of the youngest sides at the tournament but they have already shown maturity and hope to go all the way. not only me for the team also it's really difficult not only me. to do so. for the team also it's a difficult no but you know through decision. we growing up as a team so also in the final we. would like to show that we are.
