there are a view of the week now on r.t. russian investigators identified the bomber to the deadly suicide attack. which killed thirty five people they say he was from the north caucuses. system is being considered. a deal between moscow and washington is to come into force within a day after it was approved by the russian parliament this week the start treaty was ratified by the u.s. congress last month. and the world is calling on egypt to put

a stop to violence is over one hundred people have been killed during the anti-government protests the country has shut its border with gaza jammed local transmission of the al jazeera news now. problems with security deep rooted corruption and a difficult investment climate president dmitri medvedev tackled all of these topics as he discussed his plans for modernizing russia in an interview with bloomberg television he also spoke about the fate of course on the twenty twelve presidential race that interview coming up next here on r.t. . president good thank you very much for joining us you want to turn russia into a modern country you've got mcdonald's you've got shopping malls you've got through she what's missing you. what's missing on things

like infrastructure business infrastructure and legislation to properly regulate business activity is missing the official establishment the bureaucracy lack of proper legal consciousness and the world develops system is missing and that once we have learnt provided there is no corruption it would mean that russia is ready to steam ahead along. the track but we can make it as a thing nearly all of the companies that are traded in russia are either controlled by the state or controlled by billionaires or also known as all other minority investors foreign investors often find that in these circumstances they are not treated fairly and all investors talk about it and yet the regulator does nothing. if you think the regulator should do more about. the commodities you can get around any law including corporate american or british the question is whether there is an effective control over the way the relevant legal regulations are applied or that

that's the reason this is always looking to avoid the toughest. unfortunately as regards compliance with legislation you know country don't like the situation here is as follows now businessmen often try to strike a bargain with public officials civil servants and among themselves in order to get around our legislation which is not underdeveloped in my opinion and trying to close deals contrary to law. but that is not only a question of the legislation itself it's a question of legal coach or a question of effective compliance control but only under question of effective work by nancy monopoly agencies. look at the way things stand in the united states when noncompliance with anti trust legislation is often a violation much more serious than a minor criminal offense because the consequences of this would be disastrous for any businessman so we have a lot to deal with a lot to work on when. we talk

a lot about corruption and the need to clean up corruption you've taken some steps but you yourself admit really you haven't accomplished a lot why. go after if corruption is total as you say it is you know russia wide out go after some really senior government officials. this cry i would like to say here that we do need to speak legal language someone knows or somebody is. well we can think that way about any governor and not just in the russian federation. but you don't but if you let me just stop you there are those who are so you have said that corruption is nearly total it's not just singular cases many people are corrupt so theoretically it shouldn't be very difficult to find people that you are where the evidence is there so why not do that. but i think i believe we should act as follows for corruption

has indeed penetrated all branches of power and it has spread far and wide after the emergence of a market economy and the new political system which is only natural when the best be honest there were no such corruption levels in the soviet union why because there was no freedom and no market economy unfortunately our state officials are now businessmen were not ready to communicate in a civilized way from the start and corruption grew let me tell you the situation is difficult but not hopeless when i ask you alone for several thousand high ranking state officials when you were prosecuted for corruption and bribery in two thousand of them that was sentenced. when we have of course he was arrested the first time. it said this signal to all of the oligarchs that the state was in control and one thing that happened was everybody started paying taxes. so wouldn't it wouldn't you have the same effect if you went after one of your own wouldn't that send the same

signal to everyone else that this is no longer tolerated and should. blow up and the answer goes payments of taxes not just by. businessmen in general yesterday i had a look at statistics last year alone one thousand private entrepreneurs and some three thousand employees of major companies were prosecuted. this is a big number i didn't expect it to be you know hung up on the wall and i had to look at certain cases and if you mention those provided to me by the prosecutor general's office some of those people talking about the well known cases for ten fifteen year sentences so i would say it's not exactly correct to talk about solicits even use of justice you know. let me talk to you about a bit of cooking a little bit more depth. every december russia's biggest investment bankers brokers get together for an informal chat this year at that chat one of the investment

bankers raised his glass to me other quotes not because anyone in that room liked me. i was told but because they all believe that what happened to him the second conviction is devastating for russia's investment climate don't you want the story of mikhail khodorkovsky to just go away don't you want to stop it. let me expand on this for it is indeed of certain interest to everyone first of all let me say once again that last year alone several thousand private entrepreneurs and employees of major business entities were sent to prison for tax crimes secondly i've always believed that the president of any country including russia should not talk about individual cases just because that would be an interference with the judiciary system thirdly as regards mr khodorkovsky and some of his

colleagues prosecuted by law and the respective sentences it has not entered into legal force and fourthly believe that all talk about the shortcomings of our judicial system as well as any attempts to bring pressure including or me as a president destructive in this context because they make everyone else thinks it's the judicial or legal system in russia is so imperfect that you simply tell the president or someone else in which a sentence will hold of course ski or someone else and then will believe that your legal system is not that hopeless that it is kind of working but that would be unacceptable. how can investors be sure there won't be another hundred cosc i think that any investor be a russian born american investor should have bought by laws otherwise he could get a term but in the way happened with holder corsican personal and as was the case with bernie madoff he got a longer sentence. you talk about the need for more political competition to modernize the russian economy. how can you fight corruption in the

government if there is no real opposition if the opposition political opposition in russia isn't allowed to exist. but if that's not a right a political position in russia does exist and the question is how strongly to us but there are four political parties represented in the russian parliament which sometimes really do when the government to be informed by the leading political force for the middle and then they criticize the government clamor against it and so on and it just the way it happens in the rest of the world another thing is that we currently have just one powerful political force which controls the situation in the parliament and i mean there are negative sides but it's obvious that there are positive signs too even. in the ninety's president boris yeltsin could not adopt any law because the communists or other parties were blocking we have been able to

adopt normal legislation but that doesn't mean the united russia or any other party she gets a mandate to rule once and for all and up all the cheap money in the city well that's exactly what i'm asking about i am more interested in the opposition leaders that are outside of the parliament that's what that's what i'm asking about why is it that an opposition leader again in russia. can be arrested at a peaceful demonstration. and just because he set this demonstration no he was accused of provoking a policeman but a lot of people so that was. again i wouldn't want to interfere with the proceedings but if you mean the administrative rest of small opposition party's leaders then this issue should be addressed in a lawful manner no country in the world allows violation of its laws on meetings rallies and demonstrations to you can simply by committing. against those who maintain law and order. your very popular president the opposition is very small why create these situations because they're just bad press for the investment

climate outside of russia where these opposition leaders are getting arrested were demonstrations whether they were officially sanctioned or not are dispersed why not just let them demonstrate they do that so you time you're going to have dozens even hundreds of demonstrations and rallies only one. there was just one problem with holding a demonstration on a specific day in a specific place. squares that's what moments the city administration in. these demonstrations was sanctioned they gather there but it's impossible to file it doesn't application to the same location that it wasn't sure the way opposition leaders got the sanction is because i know the problem is that they can't work with each other that somebody said will be someone else but we won't be there will take you to another location when you look why don't we need to observe the law. or you can run for president two thousand and twelve. yeah see how things will go.

if you do run would prime minister putin continue to be your prime minister. very start celebrating but it would depend on a whole number of things and circumstances as regards me i won't speak about mr putin right now ok he's another person my friend my colleague so i won't speak on his behalf that's for me i will certainly make my own decision and i'll do that this year but it will i mean a decision what to do next if i think it will be right for the country but for our political system and first and foremost citizens for me to participate in elections i don't do that i think the other way i'll state my position openly appreciate that and i will say that this is for the good of our society and our state but if i decide to participate then i will of course make a subsequent decision regarding prime minister which is obvious. but i'm wishing it to me i mean east in my final question. obviously the terrorist act in moscow was

a tragedy. that aside. do investors need to worry about the security situation in russia you've got. the olympics coming up you've got the world cup coming up is is russia's security situation something that needs to worry investors as. well i would like to start with something else bissett you ation definitely concerns first and foremost russian citizens and me as a president and this is the most important thing because only by consolidating all public forces can we vanquish this evil consider that we have no right to get hysterical about terrorism and spread out for this will make terrorism stronger look at the way americans came together after the events of nine eleven even those who are not very fond of president bush said yes he's got to be at the helm he's got to be tough but it's got to be the same for our country well it was the only way we can defeat terrorism and as regards fears and concerns for our investors and

all those who want to come to russia rest assured that we will ensure a high level of security we will ensure the proper level of security for the winter olympics and the world football cup and all other sporting events this will be a task for the whole of society and for law enforcement agencies and special services of course and we will do that as effectively as possible. if you. thank you very much i would appreciate that fund was set up by super. wealthy british style it's not on. the. market.
