8:31 am
will be running for the presidency and twenty twelve it remains unanswered the russian leader sidestepped the issue in this two hour long q. and a session with the journalists and since the two hour long media conference has left some questions on as sir artie caught up with medvedev press secretary at the end of the mccall the sheds light on some of the most pressing issues of russian politics. it was the sixty four thousand dollar question but we're all still waiting for the payout and his biggest ever news conference president the midterm the dreaded to be backed into a corner on his plans for twenty top sitting in the front row among hundreds of journalists the president's press secretary was equally tight lipped nobody another lead example of hello and thank you it's not a secret the answer to the main question we're all expecting was whether the president made very good an ounce his candidacy for
8:32 am
a twenty two hour or not well he didn't what message do you think his sound by this . i think you just didn't happen the way you expected it of course then you broke the expectations and media hand i think the president said very clearly at the very beginning of the press conference this is not the right place at the right time for such an announcement you didn't get an answer to your number one question i still think the journalists who came to school could have heard a lot of interesting things jim johnson was going 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 last i don't think so like the president said responsible politicians make decisions based on what's good for their country not based on some speculation with ideas like it or just was because someone i've one prominent russian businessman or rather a tycoon recently announced he would be willing to head up the just cause party
8:33 am
does this mark and you diversity in the russian political arena. there's a lot about the word of a president who 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 a 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 pretty much walking will find its supporters i think the party is quite promising in that sense. of the what only ization has become the chief objective of russia's political leadership which area needs modernisation the most with his as a review that actually goes modernizing politics president often talks about those things as well we need new 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 they will to compete a competitive society if we want to develop new technology and people who work in those areas have to feel free and confident you see. there is only one
8:34 am
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 water in ization movement has been the bottom of the the president has talked a lot about that in fact he started his first term as president by announcing an anti corruption campaign a campaign against legal near listen as a key priority a lot has been done in this area but it's also clear that the results are not as impressive in quick as he would like this does not mean who are the. we should give up many laws have been poems which allow for instance monitoring the expenditure in income of government officials also high requirements have been introduced and those seeking government employment for example law enforcement is being formed 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
8:35 am
that this country will see quite a large number of high ranking interior ministry officials lose their posts and one of the reasons the concern that they've got to hide their posts long enough and it's time to renew the stuff which is one way to counter corruption if this. is 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. another of the president touched on this northern once we all know that terrorists from different terror organizations think losing our client or have been active in the kook isis so the news and not instead they have a jewel effect and they 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 us or europe but to russia as well the president held a security council meeting on this issue in order to make sure we do our best to
8:36 am
prevent potential terrorist attacks in case archive 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 if the question a nuclear power plant the world put a new case acuity 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 us they as partners a proposal contains russia's here for the international community could control and provide nuclear security was not out of it would expect a breakthrough on the arab middle east settlement. that 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
8:37 am
israel and the arab states but of course the situation there is deteriorating and i think it would be premature to expect a breakthrough. at 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 celeste i don't think the g eight summit is an appropriate place to severely. resizing nato we have other more suitable formats for communicating with nato but i'm sure that the situation in libya will inevitably be in the g eight agenda. as the president's press secretary what do you think about the results of these first major news conference that the you know i think the press conference is 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
8:38 am
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 saying have much more access to the president their press conferences in moscow as part of patient visits they also accompanied the president on his trips across the country and abroad of course reporters from the regions have fewer opportunities to as the president question and i think the scope of the questions asked by the regions of course is in a way to pickle on the one hand they're interested in things that may seem quite exotic from moscow guitar in fact essential to their lives such as the prospects for reindeer breeding but on the other hand they asked other questions too there's a question from the cutie here about governor elections this means that leader in the regions keeps up with the developments 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 that the president himself got to do my job even as did the news conference himself but i think it
8:39 am
contributed to the live in the sort of dialogue i believe no one got the impression that it was a reversal 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 you mean by that. first of all i meant at my service this is 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 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
8:40 am
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 who never got a chance to ask the question are happy with it. we did this 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 a 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. this happens a lot fortunately very often especially when it comes to some hot news that represents is that the press service the right want to convey to him it turns out he's read all about it on the internet it demands more attention and concentration from us because it's not pleasant to be informed by the president on the issues considering the nature of the work we're doing of course it's brought about some changes it started to work more with the internet since dmitri medvedev became president so what you may also find his personal blog kremlin thoughts are you and
8:41 am
his blog appears on live journal and 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 person and we've worked with various internet resources to give the president a feeling of feet and an opportunity to keep up with what people think them what's going on in the country to know what concerns people what problems they think important the president said at the press conference but 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. repairing a broken. highway construction and humanitarian aid. budget
