not in the headlines for. soaring unemployment turned all stairs himesh a spot nationwide protests in spain a country agreement next in line for the bailout save the anyone with several cross district and european union members already receiving rescue missions spangles in for the pressure on single person. and legal process against the now former head of the international law to confront that puts even more stress on the rest of the extra's current stalled talks on the bailouts.

the russian president of fears away from coal burning a reelection bid in twenty twelve in an unprecedented q. and a section hundreds of journalists from medical services and school went to a solution soon after seeing libyan money and its needs. and since the two hour long media conferences there are some questions about unknowns caught up with the press secretary turned out to look over sheds light on some of the most pressing issues of russian courts. it was the sixty four thousand dollar question but we're all still waiting for the payout in his biggest ever news conference president. to be backed into a corner on his plans for twenty top sitting in the front row man hundreds of dawn lists the president's press secretary was equally the getting out there. hello and

thank you it's not a secret the answer to the main question we're all expection was whether president get it would an ounce his candidacy for a trial of twelve or not well he didn't what message do you think his sound by this was. because i think you just didn't happen the way you expected it of course when you broke the expectations the media hand i think the president said very clearly at the very beginning of the press conference this is not the right place or the right time for such an announcement feet and you didn't get an answer to number one question i still think the journalists who came to school could have had a lot of interesting things just got some of them to say no but the longer we wait for an answer the more speculation rises has it got to the point where speculation could impact on decisions made at the top. that's the most i don't think so like the president said responsible politicians make decisions based on what's good for their country and not based on some speculation with ideas

like it or just last summer and i think one prominent russian businessman or rather wrote. recently announced he would be willing to head up the just cause party does this mark any new diversity in the russian political arena. the president has said on more than one occasion that he was in favor of political competition he believes the russian system is still developing in order to develop the political system and party representation we will certainly need several different parties that reflect what's happening in our society i think that the right leaning person you are talking with find it supporters i think the party is quite promising in the sense. of that what only ization has become the chief objective of russia's political leadership which area needs modernisation the most and that is as a way that as regards not nies in politics president often talks about those things as well we need more political competition we need an open society and civil liberties all of that is part of the modernization at it but we want to have

a country that's able to compete a competitive society with people to develop new technology and people who work in those areas have to feel three and confident you see but. there is only one problem unsolved it said we have two bad roads and foods. and corruption which is the third one why for so many years does it remain russia's unsolved problem and could undermine the whole modernisation movement was as big and about them the president has talked a lot about that in fact he started his first term as president burnouts the grantee corruption campaign and campaign against legal near listen as a key priority so a lot has been done in this area but it's also clear that the results are not as impressive and quick as we would like this is not heard. we should give up and then use it in cars which allow for instance monitoring the expenditure and income of government officials also high requirements of energies of those seeking government employment for example law enforcement is being reformed and there's more to it

than just changing the name to police there's a huge performance assessment campaign underway there and the president said today that this campaign will see quite a large number of high ranking interior ministry officials lose their posts and one of the reasons the concern that they occupy that post long enough and it's time to renew the stuff which is one way to counter corruption within. the month prior to these press conferences are many events of international importance including the killing of osama bin laden hasn't changed anything in the struggle against terrorism in the north caucasus. and that the president touched on this new then once we all know that terrorists from different terror organizations think losing our kreider have been active in the caucasus so the news of bin laden's death may have a jewel effect and may undermine this terrorist network or on the contrary boost its activities in some areas which may pose a serious terrorist threat not only to the u.s.

or europe but to russia as well as the president held a security council meeting on this issue in order to make sure we do our best to prevent potential terrorist attacks in case of hide it decides to intensify its activities because there was a cover up what are russia's priorities in relation to the upcoming g. eight summit. one of the key issues russia is going to bring up for discussion at the summit in late may as a proposal to try and international nuclear security controls the tragic events that occurred in japan a catastrophe at the fukushima nuclear power plant the world put nuclear security under closer scrutiny by the president mentioned that this tragedy exposed a few serious gaps in international law russia has drafted a proposal and sent it to the heads of the new g eight nations as well as partners a proposal contains russia's view of how the international community could control and provide nuclear security wasn't out of that's the can we expect a breakthrough on the arab middle east settlement. is there but i see russia is one

of the parties in the peace process and the president has been paying a lot of attention to the issue we are in constant contact with the leaders of israel and the arab states but of course the situation there is deteriorating and i think it would be premature to expect a breakthrough and that the press conference the president clearly stated among other things that russia would not support a resolution on syria similar to the one passed on libya could this mean that russia might criticize nagel's actions in front of the g eight summit was a lesson of care i don't think the g eight summit is an appropriate place to severely. resizing nato we have other more suitable formats to communicating with nato but i'm sure that the situation in libya will inevitably be on the g eight agenda. as the president's press secretary what do you think about the results of these first major news conference because i asked that the you know i think the press conference was

a form of lively communication there were forty two questions in total thirty three of which were asked by journalists and the microphone and some had been previously selected by the president it was a dynamic event which enabled regional journalists to ask their questions which is particularly gratifying because the journalists working for the federal channels and printed media hotel excuse me for saying have much more access to the president their press conferences in moscow as part of facial visits they also accompany the president on his trips across the country and abroad of course reporters from the regions have fewer opportunities to ask the president question and i think the scope of the questions asked by the regions of course is in a way typical on the one hand they were interested in things that may seem quite exotic from moscow atar in fact essential to their lives such as the prospects for arranging everything that's on the other hand they asked other questions to answer question from the cutie about governor elections this means that leader in the regions keeps up with the good elements in the civil society we have now as

regional me here interested in issues of both local and global importance i think it was an interesting experience i probably didn't do well in with the president himself got to do my job he has said the news conference himself but i think it contributed to the lies in the sort of dialogue i believe no one got the impression that it was a refers to a staged event and i think that's important because it was actually unusual to see that the president not only answered questions but also performed as a moderator of the press conference and you were sitting among the journalists and shortly before the press conference he joked that you were curious where you will end up working afterwards what did you mean by that. first of all i meant that my services as the press secretary after this conference might no longer be in great demand previously press conferences the moderated by the press secretary but this time the president expressed a wish to moderate it himself to inspire an open dialogue so i was worried that should the president do a good job of it he might no longer need me i think the president did

a great job and i know it's a very hard thing to do to manage an audience of six hundred people with lots of cameras on all the time it's a challenging audience to manage in terms of finding a way with it and in terms of its energy i'd like to express my hope once again it's all reporters who came to skulk of including those in never got a chance to ask a question are happy with it. we saw at the press conference how the president tracks news online here and now i want to ask you as his press secretary how does that influence your work when he's such an active internet user and blogger does it happen that you come up to him with a news digest and he says i know it i've already read it. right existing and this happens a lot fortunately very often especially when it comes to some hot news that represents this of the press that is the right want to convey to him and it turns out he's read all about it on the internet and it demands more attention and concentration from us and it was it's not pleasant to be informed by the president on some important issues considering the nature of the work we're doing of course it's

brought about some changes started to work more with the internet since dmitri medvedev became president so what you may also find his personal blog at kremlin jobs are you and his blog appears on live journal on facebook a year ago the president took to twitter account first it was entirely official and then we split it into two parts official and personal we've worked with various internet resources they give the president a feeling of feedback and opportunity to keep up with what people think and what's going on in the country to know what concerns people what problems they think important the president said at the press conference that it's an issue of major importance to him which helps him to assess impartially thank you very much and good luck to you and all of the team working with the president.
