pm on a sunday here in moscow you with r.t. as we highlight the week's top stories here i know russia mourns the forty six victims of monday's plane crash in the northwest of the country the aircraft caught fire after a crash landing on a major road just a kilometer from its final destination pilot error and the poor weather conditions are believed to be the main causes of the tragedy and. libya has seen a surge in the number of civilian casualties from nato strikes on the country or

the latest bombing reportedly killing fifteen libyan officials say over eight hundred civilians have died since the operation began in march. and the e.u. to monza for greece to impose tough budget cuts to secure a fresh a bail out mass protests at home and outrage and yet another rescue plan within the plot with a limited action to the euro is on the brink of collapse. hold on to russia's richest man has decided to enter the world of politics he has been a leader of the right course party he's planning to win seats in december's parliamentary elections and he told us here at odds he that he eventually wants to be prime minister at the exclusive interview with him is coming up next. it's kind of. he is a successful businessman one of the wealthiest in the world for big sports for the

owner of the jersey nets and nell the leader of the right cause political party which is aiming to become russia's a second most powerful political force joined by me. why does such a successful businessman like you want to get into politics. you know when you achieve personal success and when you know this country well any normal person in my position would have a desire to do something for other people there's a mechanism for that and it's called politics people have to deal with politics when they go to polling stations and it's also the job of a professional politician to say i've made a decision to become a professional politician to help the citizens of this country to live better than i think i don't have or let's talk about some of the russia's biggest problems sought corruption annually sucks in nearly one third of g.d.p. according to some calculations half of business spending is on kickbacks and bribes as

a representative of business would you agree with these figures and what do you mean don't we include a situation obviously this is a well known fact these figures are unlikely to surprise anybody i think that our main problem is that the old model has exhausted its potential for development we should suggest a new model of political and economic development and you are geology and you everything this new model should produce a new effect i know how we should do that and we're going to explain it to every russian in our party program in a very simple way or does the right cause party have the resources to develop this new political model i think that even opportunity emerges to bring it home to our citizens what you deem necessary this chance cannot be missed not only of who us can do it but me it's very urgent at the moment. is it possible to do business in russia would. well heading call stories with bills in power you know you need to have some connections to do business in any country everything depends on the

measure of these connections to a greater or minor degree big business always has more ties and connections we are like the rest of the world in this respect. where would you put the level of corruption in russia on ten point scale the level of corruption is high and it permeates practically all spheres of life for our people i think that we've inherited this corruption in the former u.s.s.r. it was more widespread at that time in order to buy meat it was necessary to make friends with butchers in order to buy nice clothes it was necessary to have friendly ties with shop directors and the market economy has become a thing of the past and the new kind of corruption has appeared everything linked to people's daily life is corrupt everybody talks about that we understand how we should tackle this problem russia's economy is still deeply dependent on natural resources and their export obviously it is a dead is an innovation based economy possible in russia and what needs to be done

to build it i think you should put this question a bit wider what competitive advantages does this country have compared to other countries we should develop them apart from our oil and gas sector we are also a great transit power that we don't build roads railroads or normal airports but we can link together two parts of the globe like europe and china we have unique human resources which have been underused and we're planning to focus our efforts exactly on the human potential. what's your take on russia's who judicial system can be called independent and what's your opinion on that of course he's second criminal case i think that our judicial system is imperfect just because of the mere fact that we don't comply with the constitution our constitution has a provision. in about the administrative court and it's been shelved for twelve years it's the administrative court as supposed to defend our citizens if

a citizen doesn't like a directive issued by a bureaucrat you can turn to an administrative court for help if you're cracked in turn to prove that his directive is in line with the law today a bureaucrat takes no responsibility this is a problem that needs to be tackled by did minister tive caught the second thing is linked to hold of course the law is a law irrespective of whether it's good or bad all of us are obliged to stick to this law if there are faults in it it's the task of a political party to suggest amendments even this imperfect law implies a procedure called early release on parole i personally think there are no grounds to deny could of course the eleventh day of their right to be released early on parole. i think the last ten years saw the construction of a massive vertical wind of power i mean you have the regions privileges have been moved to moscow for example the election of regional governors or scared sort in your opinion does such a system meet water and the mend. only

a system that can answer one simple question easily can be considered to match modern reality and problem should be solved wherever emerges our system of government doesn't meet that criteria at the moment if it's well known that you have close ties to both with the kremlin and the government but the right course party can be considered opposition even though you are others to forget this term nevertheless the policies you want to put forward are different from those of the current political force for us this is just a different model at different vision the united russia party is a political monopoly and we will be fighting all kinds of monopolies whether political natural spiritual or economic with competition. or do you think you're all nadya's maybe come up problem for your interests having such close ties with bills in power or i believe every development model comes from the inside

correspondingly this is my conviction and therefore i will be proposing that the greatest do you see yourself running for president in the future but. i'm not the kind of person who tends to dream or plunge into illusions we have particular goals to get into russia's lower house of parliament with the maximum number of votes what i also understand is like could be a good prime minister of the party successful i would fight for this position. there's a question on a totally different issue our audience is quite international as the owner of the new jersey nets can you shed some light on what awaits the team this year any surprises me. but he the. team will be consolidating we have a clear plan and we're not going to give up this plan and i've announced time and time again that within four years we will become champions. another nonpolitical question about your maybe it's reported there is already a five year waiting list for the score is ten years. eighty even ten so it's

a tremendous success even though the core is not yet being produced and most people haven't seen these cars in real life is there also interest from abroad and how do you evaluate russia's core market in general. i'm only happy to see such great demand for the new russian car our people want to see something new in russian so we must meet their expectations as well russia's automotive industry i think is now following the traditional way trying to get modern western makes into the country localization of any western car broadens the gap by seven or eight years this is why we chose a different way make an entirely new car based on a new concept we need to be able to move forwards in time that's the point of innovation and that's what innovators take risks will use. what. is it possible to make parallels between the your movie and the right cause party do you

expect the party to be as popular as the score among the people and i mean i wouldn't have gone into politics if i didn't think so. thank you very much thank you. seventy six hours of intense fighting. six thousand desert of beach front battlefields several kilometers long. and now there is only one person who cares. you see we are surrounded by garbage everywhere but also there are. on this beach which of course is the most appropriate city signification i assemble everything that's wrong with our goddamn government allowing not only garbage but to a chair we wait where so many guys died. a new battle is going on.

marcus pike that is not giving up an inch in their own country this one final rally dictated by the grueling match six four four six six three sixteenth's before how it ended the serve the sting and beat against by davis just. this weekend marks one hundred years since the founding of the russian olympic committee celebrations occurring throughout the country but especially here in moscow as constantine but our path reports. russia has a massive olympic tradition there's been many ups and downs throughout good boss injury for sports in the country but the biggest achievement is behalves that the russian olympic committee has not been going for one hundred years and delusion hysteria and that hosted the moscow olympics in one thousand eight hundred became the center of celebrations marking that fact russian olympic champions and famous athletes turn up giving everyone the chance to talk to some top sports stars. i think an event such as this one should be held every year as it is an important

occasion for all the current former and future russian olympians and if the population see that athletes give it their all during the games each cocksure will increase regardless of the results. which you just write i consider it a special day to be a personal holiday for me since i'm a new and pick champion and that employee of the olympic committee our main goal is to simply expose as many children as possible to sport for a healthier future generation. some of the athletes who arrived at the event and still aiming for olympic gold and with the social effects in mind russia international hockey political machine with an idea of give his listeners mand of the pointy end of the needle i believe you know as russia's new head coach. for every. step forward for their work and still. for the medals.

closely and take all corresponding measures if they're not being carried out properly the ministry could go as far as to suspend the professional licenses of certain sports federations like in the worst cases you could even take them away permanently. it'll be a want to start for red bull at the european grand prix in valencia sebastian vettel and mark webber securing the leading spots on the grid ferrari's fernando alonso the only manage the post but this time of the day the spike topping yes it is practice in some style is a team if we can muster it will start right behind him in fifth while lewis something with third chances for mcclaren russia and rhinos the tally petroff was forced to settle for eleventh hall and battle though aware that the n.c.a.a. can be a temperamental. tricky circuit there's so many corners we've got twenty five people we you know cross the line again and especially in qualifying to get every single corner right this is very very difficult so to get the perfect lap in this is quite tough but i think my first run was was quite good i was very happy and markedly in
