would be soo much brighter if you move the song from silence to pressure the. stance on t.v. don't come. from a disability recruitment announces his to run for the russian presidency in twenty two rounds on why the man in office now dmitri medvedev president that it also revealed that leaves the country's ruling party united russia in december parliamentary elections and become the new prime minister should wind up votes and . twenty four hour news live from moscow this is all she would need us of our thanks for joining us and our top story tonight prime minister putin will run for president of russia in the twenty twelve elections that ousland was made at the ruling united russia party as an annual convention moscow president rivette it's

sad that he had the party in december parliamentary elections and is ready to lead the government as future prime minister if the party wins and she's in it and now we have the historic speech as first time and. united russia party russia and the world knew that somehow one way or another of course in the figure that he is to russia the stability that he brought with her may have some kind of life in the political world here in the country exactly how it would i know i knew and more importantly no one really expected it at least the people here that it would be here today and that's partly because the session opened with the two leaders coming in to get their putin opening with his speech saying that we the two of us do know how this will all unfold and what's important is not who does what job and when but the people so that's really been the theme of this day despite that we slowly got hints that maybe today was going to be the day and then president has made it that this. year should. i believe you would be right for the conventions of support to

candidacy overlooked in your proximity in the presidential election. these two pools i mean so i don't have to explain what kind of experience and authority president putin times. the issue here is go slow and i'd like to see something else despite rumors that there's been a split and we don't know much on jim i can say that this was a well thought through decision. but what came out as more of a surprise than the announcement that led to her pushing would in fact run for president in twenty twelve was the announcement and the proposal from listeners who tend to carry on the tradition of modern day ross and political tradition which is that now it looks like is that the incumbent president goes on to become the prime

minister and also a proposal for dmitri medvedev to go on to be at the top of the list leave the united russia party into the december parliamentary elections he accepted. the apology but not to express my gratitude to you for supporting my candidacy to run for president it's a great honor to make you thought if you but i can see the numbers and with the parliamentary elections coming in december i'd like to ask russian citizens to support the united russia party with. the issue you. know you may be just what i'm convinced to become prime minister continue to throw really modernize our society. to the united russia party which shares a great amount of popularity they still have a lot of work to do because they're there figures how done down in the past couple of years there's a lot of work to do over the next couple of months and the prime minister

understands that our president medvedev understands that in most of the speeches and i should say ways in which a speech was not about the presidency who run it was about what this party needs to do to take russia into the next ten years the country has to be now they need to see it develop but that's what today is really about although of course it's being hijacked by this is big news this is story news. it will run for president and then the medium if it will become his prime minister. a political commentator and member of russia's council for foreign difference policy the power of rotation will bring a new political reality and also a more liberal edge to the united russia party personally nice to me that it will bring liberal votes for the united russia party because he's of course associated with the liberal agenda and certainly all those things which have been in. the

russian political agenda such as political modernization and also economic modernization and innovation and innovations these are things which are normally associated with mr mediators name so if he becomes a reformist prime minister on this super popular president putin that brings ours so a new political reality surprisingly it brings us to a reality where mr putin who is normally associated with the sort of strong here and that sort of thing politics coups in fact and indeed inevitably carry out quite a liberal economic agenda i've been saying that the problem with the allies russia party is that it's not capable of reproducing itself ok it was all focused around mr putin who to the job of this change of generations of course this is not the sort of radical change which people might have expected but the united russia is now becoming something similar to what the liberal democrats in japan are into what the p.r.i. party in mexico used to be that is to say it's the ruling party which is capable of

reproducing a new generation of leaders at least he's really something new for russian politics fred will be christian science monitor it has led to a person becoming president again maybe not a bad option for the west they already know him. but people become more certain that there is one. system of power it's here to stay i think that's what this the message of the world is but it's not a bad message i don't think it's quite some of the troubles of the courtroom you know between west and east. and was seen as kind of saw were reliable predictable. parts of the. russian interests very assertively. that mean or so you would like to see in the united states but it works for them it's they know him he's a known quantity and he is predictable a lot of capricious or excessive in any way so i think that people will do so with

the idea that we could put in for at least six more years if not twelve then build relations with russia on the basis of. tracking money from abroad is crucial to developing russia's economy and age around perhaps the professor of politics at the university of kent in england believes that putin becomes president he should make this a priority i think for the best will only be forthcoming in much greater scope when corruption and the rule of law you know are changed there's too much rampant corruption and too little rule of law. i think he has the authority to do something about that i think after. two presence he needs to strengthen those institutions so he needs a government that can implement with president putin perhaps becoming prime minister that might be possible but it's not just changing now you need to also change policy and you need to implement across the country we could minister capacities

around russia. fortunately was still a reality most peaceful a vibrant city was perhaps not the case for the region so really we need much greater determination and implementation that will make it up to the ruling town and to make that happen. and we always value your opinion so log on to r.t. dot com and tell us who you think switching roles in the ruling tandem will mean for russia and here is some of the viewers are divided so far almost half of you think the change will be affected because it's what people wanted almost a third believe the move will anger voters and increase the opposition's chances and by late twenty nine percent say this change will be perceived a matter of fact it will also boost investment in the country so please cast your vote at r.t. doc. just to remind you the manger needs in the russian politics prime minister vladimir putin will run for the presidency next year he got the backing from current leaders me to regret it while addressing the annual conference of the

country's ruling united russia party in moscow and me to read that it said he will leave the party in parliamentary elections in december and if it wins it will become prime minister and to carry on his modernization program and it can now be considered his first campaign speech rodimus putin has also vowed to boost russia's economic growth and continue talking corruption is trends that russia should aim to become one of the world's top five economy. and earlier we spoke to political analyst and host of assays cross-talk debate show pretty low who explained what lies ahead for vladimir putin and the united russia party. you know if the guessing game this was all done on purpose i think this was the intention all along or at least one variant of it i think it's because of the united russia is going to be facing elections and parliamentary elections in december they're lagging in the polls they need some support and that the best juice you can possibly get is the two most popular people in the country to agree on something another reason is the

turbulence outside russia the economic tsunami that is of a place in the world russia needs to be a safe haven they need these two leaders and this political party is problematic as it is in my opinion the need to show stability and continuity from a little bit more competition in the in the in the marketplace of ideas ok where united russia has been very complacent since the last election because they do say we're the party of putin we're the party of my bed of and that's all nice and fine but medvedev and putin will do what they need is executives in the government ok and united russia just wants to hang on to their coattails will do it again but you know. voters don't reward complacency we don't reward people they don't know and i think this is an opportunity through another opportunity for them to actually start making a name for themselves you cannot have politics of people you have to have strong institutions ok and parties are part of that institutional process so it's always been the tandem it's always been about these two men here so if they're going to change places are it's all nice and fine because both of had the same vision for this country could have political upheaval very quickly very hard very harsh

sometimes or looking at the entire array of russian history but to actually get those roads built and get that infrastructure built and have had milk the health care for everyone and somebody very well you know you just have to go outside of the city limits about two hundred kilometers and people are not happy and they don't have a political party like united russia has to say we are here to help you we can go to moscow we go to the parliament we can be your representative personally i don't see enough of that ok and i think it needs to be done it doesn't have to be a place where you just show your book pay your dues and show you're for the for the current political establishment have to get out there and roll up their sleeves and actually do something that's what united russia should do because i'll tell you like it or not the communists do that but they do it for the wrong reasons. they have also has had a lively discussion they say share his cross talk of a show so don't miss it on the program later this hour hale and hearty. both men have been working together for more than a decade and saturday the announcement means that their partnership is likely to

remain firm for years to come out is a good thing or a child tells the background story or they turn them at the top of russian politics is that your only. decent competent and must be elected president of the country some of whom will be possible to work in tandem. four years later the baton is passed and what appeared to be an official albeit casual fashion. move here from south is broke both adequately tacl held for ten years now the two have proved that a double had it eagle on the russian flag is not only an emblem in the two thousand presidential vote at a group office and in was named his successor it was going to trinidad who managed his complain but the world would first hear about it thirty years later when he became first deputy prime minister the same year an influential business magazine

in russia would name him the man of the year overseeing national priority projects we did it painted his vision for years to come away from a resource economy modernize the country get rid of caracas all these would later be put together in his manifesto the russia in december two thousand and seven during a similar united russia convention he did it was informally indorsed as a candidate for the country's top job and these time it was putin who delivered his successor a successful campaign he supported that its popularity seventy percent of the vote and in march two thousand and eight believe it was elected president why do you regard it as. as more liberal than his predecessor his term would be remembered for reforms in the judicial system and law enforcement investment in new technology and strengthening civil society he also approved major changes to the constitution by

extending the presidential term so if my dinner putin makes it to the kremlin in march twenty twelve he will serve six not four years. of signature goal russia transformed it into goal posts in baltimore those brought the house down and it wasn't simply a president posturing the bus into a new candidate instead the two most powerful man in russia simply swapped seats thus proving don't worry about us competing in the upcoming books as we've said will reach an agreement between us long before that it's him or her children r.t. . and sergei stroken coinstar little analyst says stability was the hallmark of letting occasions previous presidential terms reagan him the most influential politician that country. and really very few people doubted that the prime minister . as the moost influential and the most popular political figure he's

a charismatic leader is the understand and he has built up his stupor that show on the radio of stability which was very important for actions and this is the reason why he won the support not only of our for lead but the fruit folx also. whether we like pushing north this is a reality i think that by making such a move if they do condemn as you say they send a political message to the russians as well to the best of the world that if we do it is not our debate it is not absolute this is a rabble construction which again it can work for years you see it you describe effective andrei called you know vice president of the eurasia foundation and that president made a very well continue to see and implement his initiatives so he becomes prime

minister say that it's not just his ideas it's evident that russia needs innovation russia which is the knowledge modernisation that we need to move away from and the g. economy to knowledge based economy we need to pay much more attention to small business we need to reform and to more modernize our financial system so there always are you know we just we can't protect ourselves against the downturns of global markets and i hope that this is something that the new president and the new prime minister will love concentrate on. and the top headlines headline headline. prime minister legislation that will run for president of russia in the twenty travel action that announcement came at the annual convention of the country's ruling united russia party president richard reid that it proposed precint for the top job while he's planning to head the party in december

parliamentary election and continue his brother as a sheriff said a future prime minister is repeating a speech. that is fast of a campaign pledge to russia's economy and tackle corruption. so what's the reaction been to the news across that landscape the white house has said that the question as to holder counted next president should be for the russian people to determine are that expects the research in relations with moscow to continue in any case and we are shit sashing in international affairs expert from washington also believes that there won't be any major change i believe that russia olds who is interested in following the process the arms control process in trying to leave us history were points the same way that united states he's interested in doing so for russia or sister to you could work also arsenals. in that sense i don't think there is going to be

a major change however there is the issue of missile defense. policy or missile defense russia simple solution to it is something that has continued on change since it is so for mr putin as president i believe that the same arguments are used by russia but the one surance that's for me to be a missile defense system based in europe is not going to be used against russia. those can be sure those demands are going to be continued. john locke went from being sedated for democracy and corp apparent the international federation of state could significantly changes and in you know elected a russian president will have to have to deal with that there are differences there have been big differences between mitt if and one of the. things that people usually said that needed it is that he's more scripted some of pro western road liberal and so on whereas putin is more our line that's not my view at all it's

after all on the middle east president said life that the russian children of war was fought in two thousand we need to build a wall which radically change the balance of power we're going to review where as it was and of letting it get easier as you see that nato is large to. include former soviet republics likely baltic states when i look course made his famous question to ukraine intramural traditional two thousand and four all those things happened under them to persuasion i would like to make one point and that is that the international situation that russia will face as. a power again as president next year and as the russia goes into the elections in december is very very uncertain indeed it may be an obvious point to make but i think it's worth recalling that we are looking now as has been said in the press now for many months at the breakup of the euro in other words we're looking at a seismic shift in the political composition of the european continent and in those circumstances of immense upkeep for in europe in other words among russia's own day

but it's russia's own role in that new configuration can only be decisive. political analyst claude cult r.t.l. there be popularity of mr pearson is linked to economic improvements in russia during his time in office. you have to understand that it. has been extremely popular in russia since one thousand nine hundred and he became prime minister russian federation for the for his tours to presidency and russia has made a great way for those twelve years russian g.d.p. has almost doubled the level of life in russia alone russia not only the capitals has improved significantly the russian economy has been constantly rebuilding. and then under many that its rule and you know many of such a very ambitious goals during his presidency of the modernization of russia.

based on other resources russia has it's very important the treasury is an exporting country the contre the producers and the global production so in this case russia has a very bright future. and if you miss something on air you can always catch on our website our. mortgage and also that our facebook page to have your say on our top stories and check what out of your thing but also don't forget you can find out they see on all the major news on our twitter feed. while you're online chatting you are you tube channel for the past week you. want to use today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world

seen from the streets of canada after. showing corporations. and returning to the news that pledging a person is to run for president of russia next year's elections so they had of russia's foreign affairs committee conference in cars a child believes that what's most important about an hour is that it means both creation and meant that it will stay together at the country's help they believe their predictability and transparency in what we are doing here inside the united russia party inside of the government the ruling the story this is to be welcomed by anybody else in the world. they believe that the decision which is taken i. want to thank you. thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you

thank you thank you thank you are rushing to have this truck i'm going to build leaders continue to out here together is in charge of you know in the. other capacities to give the order to destroy the militia is good for russia it's good for the russian foreign policy and they believe in it. and while in office president's been very progressive proposals for russia's economic development and michael many on foreign affairs specialist at the times newspaper in london hopes we can continue promoting these products. i think. obviously if he. continues the prime minister will preside over a very similar problem to what we've been seeing for the past few years the objective factors are in russia's. resources what is simply needed

in economic reform a shake up of the system great capitalism enterprise. and overwhelmingly a real sharp attack on corruption been a lot of talk but very little action certainly a challenge for the government yes various reasons for this one is that. need a little bit foreign investment and foreign expertise or that russia has plenty of its own. quite some of outside interests i mean the problem is you need a much more competitive edge to some of these. there are too many monopolies and too many monopolies held in place i'm afraid by corrupt oligarchs. so it's been a big day for russian politics along with the ruling party united russia to other major parties how their conventions ahead of december's elections to the lower house of parliament the communist party was one of them as a catholic to work out its campaign strategy and senate candidates to run by the

oldest parties in the country where there's a large number of seats in parliament with its leader going out is a gun of also a presidential candidate in past elections latest opinion polls plays the commune in fact not only it's a united russia there are other part of that tending to make it to the dealer they just russia the liberal democrats and recognize democratic opposition party yabloko . and to remind you of russia's main political news today prime minister vladimir putin declared his candidacy for president of russia in the twenty two hour election could ousmane kane that saturday during the annual conference of the country's ruling united russia party president dmitry medvedev fully endorsed putin's presidency and in turn will lead the party in december's parliamentary election is also willing to become prime minister show united russia when and what can be counted as his first campaign speech alleging appreciate pledged to boost russia's economy and tackle corruption. and more analysis on this analogy of
