this is r.c. coming to you live from our bureau the week kayo ninety domesticate and say they know the identity of the suicide bomber who killed thirty people at the airport but only naming the twenty year old north caucuses mindful of racial reasons in the world russia is considering a new terror alert system the securities stepped up a nationwide on presidential order. also the key nuclear arms const deal between moscow and washington is to come into force within days after the start treaty receive the final seal of approval from both sides the world's two biggest nuclear

power is one thing to plan to exchange documents and later this week to allow weapons reduction in the. world attention is focused on egypt as a nationwide uprising against president hosni mubarak continues despite over one hundred deaths in the clashes with police and calles including mass prison breakouts some believe they were in the news with the recent revolutions in former soviet states. problems with security deep rooted corruption under difficult investment climate present time 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 me. on the twelve to twenty twelve presidential race that interview is coming up next. president here to thank you very much for joining us you want to turn russia into

a modern country you've got mcdonalds you've got shopping malls you've got sushi what's missing. what's missing in things like infrastructure business infrastructure and legislation to properly regulate business activity is missing the official establishment leaving the bureaucracy lack of proper legal consciousness and the world develops system is missing and once we have all that provided there is no corruption it would mean that russia is ready to steam ahead along in its modernization track and that's what we can but that is i think 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 are often find that in these circumstances they're not treated fairly and all investors talk about it and yet the regulator does nothing. do you think the regulator should do more about. the commodities you can get around any law

including corporate law american or british the question is whether there is an effective control over the way the relevant legal regulations are applied that that's the reason it is always looking to avoid the toughest and. unfortunately as regards compliance with legislation you know country on 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 the 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 a thing to compliance control again under question of effective work by anti monopoly agencies. look at the way things stand in the united states noncompliance with anti trust legislation is often a violation much more serious than

a minor criminal offense because the consequences of this could be disastrous for any businessman so we have a lot to deal with here a lot to work on when. you talk a lot about corruption and the need to clean up corruption you've taken some steps but you yourself. really haven't accomplished a lot why. go after if corruption is total as. you say it is you know russia wide out go out person really seen your government officials. is this a crime i would like to say here that we do need to speak legal language or muse someone knows that somebody is a. well we can think that way about any governor and not just in the russian federation. that 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 where the people are corrupt so theoretically it shouldn't be very difficult to

find people you are where the evidence is there so why not do that. is that what 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 political system which is only natural let's 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. block them all as regards 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 a ton this is a big number i didn't expect it to be no high up in the law and i had to look at certain cases and if a mission was provided to me by the prosecutor general's office some of those people under talking about the well known case of ten fifteen year sentences on a book so i would say it's not exactly correct to talk about solicits even use of justice you know. let me 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. not because anyone in that room liked me because 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 course skewed 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 korda course 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 on me as a president hopefully are destructive in this context because they make everyone else thinks it's the judicial or legal system in russia is so imperfect the simply tell the president or someone else in which a sentence will hold of course ski and 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 other cause i think that any investor be a russian born american investor you should have bought by laws otherwise he could get a term but in the way happened with crystal 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 the opposition political opposition in russia isn't allowed to exist. by the national 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 has been formed 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 sides to 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 renew it once and for all and up all the cheap money. well that's exactly what i'm asking about i'm 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. 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 against the police by committing acts one against those

who maintain order. your very popular president the opposition is very small why create these situations because there are just bad press for the investment climate outside of russia where these opposition leaders are getting arrested where demonstrations whether they were officially sanctioned or not are dispersed why not just let them demonstrate they do that so you lou time and you're going to have dozens even hundreds of demonstrations emerge only one. there was just one problem with holding a demonstration on a specific day in a specific place of the. square that's what moments the city administration in. these demonstrations were sanctioned they gather there but it's impossible to verify that doesn't application to the same location that it wasn't sure the way opposition leaders got the sanction is because i don't know the problem is that they can't work with each other as though some somebody said will be someone else

added but we won't be there but we'll take you to another location when you look why don't we need to observe the law. are you going to run for president two thousand and twelve. i'll see how things will go. if you do run would prime minister putin continue to be your prime minister. he starts elevator but it will depend on a whole number of things and circumstances as regards me and i won't speak about mr putin right now ok he's another person my friend my collie so i won't speak on his behalf and she will go after me i will certainly make my own decision and i'll do that this year 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 is it 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 russia's security situation something that needs to worry investors. well i would like to start with something else this issue ation definitely concerns first and foremost russian citizens and me as the 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 the only way we can defeat terrorism at all 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. famous trip thank you very much i would appreciate it from wichita so. much or is that so much of it is

a huge decision early on talk to them to use an old saw him obviously promotion an oxymoron what is america's track record in the arab world and is invoking security . in our view of the week here on our t.v.'s today to say they know the identity of the suicide bomber who killed thirty five people dead or airport but naming the twenty year old north caucuses month old racial reasons meanwhile russia is considering a new and a terror alert system and security stepped up nationwide on presidential orders. the key nuclear arms can still between moscow and washington has to come into force within days after the start treaty receive the final scene of approval from but its sides the world's biggest nuclear power plant exchanged documents and unique nature this week to allow weapons production work to begin in earnest. and while the attention is focused on egypt as the nationwide uprising against president hosni

mubarak continues despite over a hundred deaths in clashes with police and chaos including mass prison breakouts some believe they were bored bears similarities with recent revolutions in former soviet state. and there's the headlines up next is all the latest sports news with you that. thanks for joining us this is sports today i mean you know they use our head. down the novak djokovic blitzes on the murray in the final of the string open for his second major at melbourne park in four years of trying. all square among chester city salvage our late for or against notts county in the fourth round of the f.a. cup. blast from the past ronald the poorest among host of star players from
