a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines. cars a report. about your weather as you here's a look at the top stories of the week the u.s. moves to hold the syrian regime accountable for violent crackdowns over much like it did with colonel gadhafi just before leading airstrikes over libya. the leading rebels suffer a crucial sabbats failing to secure official recognition and cut off the cash from washington. the recent influx of refugees from the arab world breeds mistrust between europeans as the e.u.

mauls i'm president of border patrol measures. plus russia and the world commemorate sixty six years of victory over the nazi fascist followers of ukraine's harnessed universally by attacking war veterans. let's argue so be sure and he said down with russia's education and science minister andriy for sanko who believes the country's education system needs reform. and they don't seem to refuse ministry of education it's great to have you with us we used to be very proud of the soviet educational system when heritage say that our sixth grade school student studies things that american students on study until

four years into the university course they're one of the reforms out of what is going to change not only in the system but more importantly in the mentality. of people who first of all we indeed used to have a good educational system like what we did was very adapted to the country we lived in at the time and it had its flaws one such issue was that when the country changed completely those who had previously received a good education fails to adopt the lesson learned here is that as we reform the educational system students to adapt to change our world and succeeded must be at the heart of. why we doing it today our country changed back in the ninety's. because at any given time people think either more or less attention just education the educational system underwent considerable reforms during the soviet era as well it is worth noting though that in the 1980's when the need for reforms was already there the experience dramatic and your profound change and education was put on the

back burner sort of speech in the one nine hundred ninety s. how we need to change it was acute the state lacks the necessary funds or resources to document it not why by introducing a new law and education and giving educational institutions more freedom it is the state itself withdrew from education both in terms of supporter and in terms of setting requirements and goals the education system. that was the work and which it was all together story for educational reforms are being criticised by many. cloying state officials teachers students parents experts and their main point being that they were forms half failed what's your response to the. thing is is that we'll only get a proper impression of the reforms impact if they fail or not in about ten years time for me my priority is different it's important that officials teachers and students parents are saying that today's educational system is not good enough it means it needs to be changed as for how exactly it needs to be changed here

opinions vary with and we encourage and welcome all stakeholders participation in discussions we are completely open and all issues are being discussed in detail and gradually step by step we are making progress you remember how much discussion there was around the united states exams today public polls suggest that the majority of teachers are in favor of it as are the majority of students together with their parents who already took it those opposing it have typically never had anything to do with the exam at all they just read the press and have an impression something is wrong. mostly a little more specifically but they were afraid of heights that the only compulsory subjects on the curriculum in personal safety and security physical education mathematics and russia in the global world although no one really understands what that is about it's assumed to be a subject with an ideological slant when she agreed that at her first glance it looks like a very odd list of subjects and quite logically one wants to ask why not a russian language when our history even our prime minister said in his speech

section physical training maybe it's worthwhile to revise this list a man a truck such as well criteria to use in defining them. because it's. the i'd like to say is that as of today this is nowhere near an accepted standard it is a suggestion made by one expert group we simply offered it up for public discussion just a suggestion proposes at least ten compulsory subjects on the curriculum which should also be noted that there are subjects which are not so much compulsory standardized across various curriculum systems what will the student can choose arts. they can choose to work in industry or to follow a career in the performing arts is a good regardless of the student should be fit and healthy and therefore no matter what subjects they choose and considerable things for themselves physical education in schools are of fundamental employed similarly in the political and dangerous world we live in people must be able to deal with emergency situation as such as measure first aid or know what to do with god forbid

a terrorist attack occurs on it is the subject probably does not have an extensive program it is essential for everyone with every educational curriculum of course there's no doubt literature mathematics natural sciences should be compulsory depending on how a student plans their future they have an opportunity to select from a subject listen to different knowledge and so many see problems not in a school based education but with a higher education they say that our higher educational institutions have fallen way behind those in the developed world do you agree with. that's. the problem i believe it's a global problem to me is that global education changes more slowly than the incredibly fast development we see in economics in the social sphere after the problems of human innovation in changes a rapid many fall behind others grow disenchanted that's why actually social incidents are on the rise it may explain growth in vogue addiction because i'm trying to deny the facts of rapid change to avoid a life bringing new challenges demands and solutions we must prepare our children

for that as perhaps we should start with preschool institutions and primary schools our higher education may not meet the challenges of the present but we are trying to find a solution by supporting the best institutes in the country by bringing up leaders who will reform the whole education system that we know with at this level we give our students more freedom to choose what to study with us but along with we've got to create opportunities for them once they've made their choice if a student chooses natural sciences we have a responsibility to provide talk quality education in this subject and we would like it to be the best in the world with today in some universities we provide this level of education but in others not yet but then changes and reforms are needed throughout the system and we need to couple the back up with what i thought so many wealthy parents send their children to study abroad the same thing with students from rest of the families as well as they receive a grant they leave the country to study abroad but i do think that. we're seeing

not everyone the situation is changing the situation is different from how it was ten or fifteen years ago moreover many young people are returning to russia because today there are job opportunities and interesting places to live for the past several years the average age of people working in science has been slowly growing turvy a number of people involved in scientific research who are younger than forty is rising this is what we dreamt of just a few years ago young scientists who are seeing. additional education and experience of rules are starting to collapse. we have to create conditions for their workers to make education science and economics more attractive for our young people so they will stay in the country. how can that be done i remember last year young scientists natives of pressure received the nobel peace prize in physics but they all live abroad how can we stop the brain drain where we are making a great effort we're building of oratory raising salaries for young scientists

we're inviting renowned scientists from around the world to create new lavarch reason the country this process will take a long time we've lost a lot and now we're restoring it step by step we can't expect a good result overnight with the good we are seeing positive changes at every stage but there are negatives too and we're working on that we live in a world where we can candidly speak about both good and i gave you several examples of our work you do fortunately very few people know about it and i feel that we should retain our progress as much as we address probably disagree with you. and dallas carson a great except that from now on russia will recognize that foreign university could promise russian credentials are not recognise abroad it's a really fair. reading you know it's unfair but a retaliation in this respect is not the right option we're interested in bringing the best scientists and shooters to russia to teach our students in russian universities rather than encouraging our young people to study abroad we're

negotiating qualification recognition with leading american and european universities so ca should listen to them in holding these negotiations we hope to create a mutual is situational understanding not the state level of real interest usual cooperation of the third. with the best foreign universities recognise degrees awarded by our best universities to do so i think that this is a more effective and positive ways for us to be able to provide the best scientists from around the world to russia and the our best young scientists to work in the leading world centers without any problems with us. people including one rating our top university of moscow state university seventy four so in the world to what extent is it objective or accurate one reason. any rating is subjective and any rating is open to manipulation you can use our university heads are offended by the place again but i tell them not to pay much attention to it or priorities are different from the police there are many comparative criteria we should choose those most important for us is going to base our reforms on what we

set ourselves are seeking one another for example every rating considers a citation edict of scientists working in the university level in my opinion this is significant for scientists are not always an easy aspect by publishing in english the new version when i explain to the simple how does a little freeze image when your best scientific work is read and cited around the world. our professors are paid by the state fair responsibility to enhance interesting through academic endeavor there is also an index of graduate success we always lose out in this respect because we simply do not know to what extent our graduates are successful if if we are to prepare highly sought after professionals we should at least know about their career it's a key university responsibility well yeah in the us to have specifically designed system for that and yes i'm at it was right it also promotes the university so in my opinion but we paid more attention to those indexes we would have a higher position in the ratings. for thank you very much for this interview. thank

you. a question in mission. inside the container you have. and you can have anywhere from dozens up to hundreds of there's a huge market right now for cattle area clerks because there are a lot of countries in the world that are contaminated by unexploded ordnance. and so you got these cars. unease and n.g.o.s that are basically showing up that have an expertise to get rid of these weapons what they do is they go to these places they will hire local train the locals how do the clerics let the locals basically take ownership because you know they have a vested interest in clearing their homes and they're putting themselves at risk every single day when they go out there to clear areas of. a.

a single goal that has really should have broken the deadlock through company our goal our of here and dungy continued their dominance in the second half pot it remained male male a missed opportunity for both schools indeed. it is part of knowledge it failed to rise off brought on by home to volgograd got on the board first thing the second house pulled the minutes firing home off the group work from brazil in simi valley . that was the people the so highlight bill not there about suds raining on spartacus spring to knee injury time as the georgian finished an untidy sequence one final score of one one. and seven days full faced it was also a draw as secrecy was seeking their first win in five weeks on the day but as that ended up at two apiece a case that sits on the ship beats an open up to two minutes and added to the kalpoe mob by a good shot across the dark coasting by the second period rubicon should stay open

steve who was even away cheapening was led to towards five a foolish mensing and eighteen minutes from time ill disciplined in the penalty area left the referee with little choice but the point to this mob go show the man or any becomes side to cheryl one spoil the second building roses to all how it finished increase the bar. over in england match day night that have been crowned premier league champions alex ferguson's side doing what they needed to against blackburn avoid defeat to wrap up the championship game early united fighting back from a first time that sets a level for a sittings from the final to spot wayne rooney the man tying up their fourth crowd in five years and pulled mademoiselle the other end of the table on the day as well blackpool staying the relegation zone despite winning a seven goal three like these bolton wolves have reached that forty point mark after beijing sunderland away from home they are not safe yet while west brom beat

everton won the all in their last film game of the season. also joined the glue off of much the mound city crowned f.a. cup champions the winning one meal when i was still in the final sky blues devaney's in the well break lashed by the breakthrough with only come seventy four minutes in david silva instrumental in directing the ball to. who got the crucial wind up around c.b.s. with his first major piece of silverware thirty five yes it's very important for there were players for that if you did. it for a good legacy the and i just as he did do that when for a long time we. had to be united to city finance our very we've got a great level of commitment to us you know seven eight where you played exceptionally well but you know to be monsters do you really want to talk to you throughout the bring over a going to the stadium today and we were just

a little bit short of that i'm sure i'll give credit to munster to get a bit of that she will make you know they deserved to win. over in paris little have claimed a french cult following an hour away now but our essential man in the final was goalless until the dying moments of regulation when some states see it move the vehicle behind the open fire lane in the eighty ninth minute without breaking a strike the visitors had a perfect chance to add a second in a final minute off the passenger goalkeeper gregory bear fouled to be in the area but there was equal to the toss not letting the ball in. anyway presser had no time to save the match and the trophy goes to only open the way the one male big tree. meanwhile french national team manager logged long or was recently cleared of braces medications after he was had discussing possible team quotas for dual nationality players and while the forty five year old same still have cleared his

name blow and says the whole situation made him consider quitting at one point. they have resigned would not have been the right solution old shoe that it was briefly something i thought of but the desire to continue was stronger first for me then for fringe football and then for this team they were building it also for all the technical staff and for all those who have put their confidence in me. in tennis my. business to get through to the final in rome the russian hating twice as many winners than the dane moving through the straight sets seven five six three to shut up a bad back when a down the line securing her second final appearance of the season she will face some of the saucer for the title shot has beaten still sore in all seven years had to have got this will be the best mates place i. has also made it through after defeating china leaves she led from the beginning

and had several set points by. you but eventually to get on a tie break while the second was of things you want the winning it without dropping a single. face the fully recovered shot up of all that to say. yeah it's great i'm very excited to be in the final and it's almost twenty so i'm glad to get to that stage once again and hopefully i could have have a better result tomorrow. now in the man's nostrils there's no way stopping the ga mission this year the serb claiming his thirty ninth straight win on sounds a hell of a job and had to work harder than that of a recently against the fourth rank landed more equal to the second set six three and forced a tie breaking the decider truck which taking its toll with hits now the solid went on much when setting up the force and say.

this plenty of progressing at the expense of frenchmen every shot i laid break allowed him to take they've been said by seven against and five and often never moved back off of the cruising. the second. retaining counts on the rankings for missed three weeks is lost in all of this year's nonsense finals. and move the g.p. cases so it has put himself in prime position party first ever victory on a legendary racetrack the two thousand and seven champion securing cove for the french grand prix at lamont the twenty five year old the face fierce competition from fellow riders though still maintaining the space the big marcus eventually i just live on bits of the second. talents in a show with a great run but will still have to settle for a second place hundred of his he also rounded out the top three goals so i want to hold up well dani controls and reigning champion more he'll around so have missed

out on the front from for the first time this year span is will start from fulton field respectively. and the latest leg of the gymnastics world cup came to an end in moscow however it was noticeable for the absence of one of russia's brightest stars. in the has been injured and is now in a race to be fit for next year's london olympics responsible for that has more. well you know most stuff in i was probably the most frustrated spectator beilein piskies sports complex she had to look on while her colleagues were competing unfortunately for the current world champion he's going to be out of seeable future . it's going to take me between six to eight months until i'm back to full fitness but i can probably start very light training in around a month or so to stuff it wasn't russia's only starmer sidelines she was joined by fellow world champion turkey on an idea or was also out injured however the sixteen

year old who only returned to fitness in early two thousand and twelve is still confident of making the london olympics. i don't think i'm a star of russian gymnastics i try not to pay attention to what i have won in the past i always put that behind me and look forward to new challenges in the future the field of the most provent was far from strong with all the top names from china the usa and japan missing however there was still some around boosting performances from russia's next generation of stars such as sixteen year old ahmed to mean to commence to build on her recent success at the european championships where she took gold and constant inclusion of could be fed a compassionate alexander baldoni and to win the men's rings softness that on the new left but promised on one hand i found competing here much easier than at the european championships as i am at home here but i have the support of my home crowd were all cheery on the russians on the other hand it was quite tough as that injured my shoulders after the urals and i'm just getting back to full fitness and

despite a strong showing in the russian gymnastics and probably is most healthy state has been hit ninety ninety's pollution of say is still a lot of work that needs to be done every sure it's sweet the medals in london but they were not the strongest like we used to be with you after the likes of china and japan however the world championships are coming up and there will be a good indicator for plenty of. russia's gymnasts to take out of this event now of all times of school will be praying the bad time is money and most popular make a speedy recovery a sheet of to continue her quest for limping gold next year richard hall from a fancy moscow. and that's it for the moment coming up as the weather than maureen will update you on the news headlines are.
