the world in seeing from the streets of canada. trying to corporations rule today. prime minister vladimir putin announces his to run for the russian presidency in twenty twelve pounds by the man in office now dmitri make their presence believe that it also revealed here leave the country's ruling party united russia in december parliamentary elections and become the new prime minister for the enough votes and seek. international news live from moscow this is ass he was new you leisure probable and out top story tonight prime minister putin will run for president of russia in the twenty two of elections then and cement was made at the ruling united russia party as annual convention moscow present it is that he will head the party in december's

parliamentary elections and is ready to lead the government as future prime minister of the party wins all season is an hour had the historic speeches passed her and. united russia party russia and the world knew that somehow one way or another and the figure that he used to russia the stability that he brought would remain and have some kind of life in the political world here in the country exactly how it would unfold no one knew and more importantly no one really expected at least the people here that it would be done yesterday and that's a party because the session opened with the two leaders coming in to gather in an 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 my job and when but the people that's really been the team of this day despite that we suddenly got hints that maybe today was going to be the day and then president medvedev said this. year should.

i believe it would be right for the conventions of supporting candidacy of lifting your commitment in the presidential election thank you thank you thank. you simply means i don't have to explain what kind of experience and influence he allegedly used in the times. thank you should just go forth and i'd like to see something else despite rumors that it is going to split within our times and i can say this was a well thought through decision. and what came out as more of a surprise than the announcement that lazy were put in would in fact run for president in twenty twelve was the announcement and the proposal from the lead singer who tend to carry on the tradition of modern day boston 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 jimmy to be mitigated to go on and be at the top of the list really good night good for us a 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 meet you. and we've got parliamentary elections coming in december and i'd like to ask russian citizens to support the united russia party with dmitri. down here. you. know you maybe just i'm convinced to become prime minister who 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 their figures have gone 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 president medvedev understands that in most of the speeches and i should say by dinner put his speech was not about the presidency and who will run it was about what this party needs to do to take russia into the next ten years to cut the country has to build now they need to see development and that's what today is really about although of course it's being hijacked by this is big news this is a story that the near future will run for president. dmitri medvedev will become his prime minister. and earlier we spoke to a political analyst and host of marty's cross-talk debate show peter lavelle who explained what lies ahead for letting a policeman 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 at least one variant of it i think it's because of the united russia is going to be facing elections in parliamentary elections in december that are lagging in the polls they need some support and the best juice you can possibly get is that the most popular people in

the country do agree on something another reason is the turbulence outside russia the economics of alamy that it's ok save the world and russia needs to be a safe haven they need to have these two leaders and this political party is problematic as it is that in my opinion we need to show stability and continuity i don't really want 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 medvedev and that's all nice and fine but made better than men and putin will do what they need is executives in the government ok and united russia just wants to hang on to their coattails and i'll 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 another opportunity for them to actually start making a name for themselves you cannot have politics of people only 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 want 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 i'm looking at the entire array of russian history but to actually get those roads built and get that infrastructure built and have had no health care for everyone and somebody very well you know you just have to go outside of the city when it's about two hundred kilometers and people are not happy and they don't have a hazara political party like united russia has to say we're 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 you show your pay your dues and show you're for the for the current political establishment have to get out there and roll up your 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. and people about also the lively discussion on this issue in his cross talk debate so don't miss it on the program that's later this hour here on r.t. and the brain of a political commentator and

a member of russia's council for foreign and defense policy says the power rotational bringing a new political reality and also more liberal edge to the united russia party personally mr medvedev will bring liberal votes for the united russia party because he's of course associated with the liberal agenda and secondly all those things which have been in the russian political agenda such as political modernization and also economic modernization and the innovation innovations these are things which are normally associated with mr medvedev name so if he becomes a reformist prime minister are those super popular president putin that brings ours so a new political realities of rising only it brings us to a reality where mr putin who is normally associated with the sort of strong and the sort of thing politics could in fact and indeed inevitably carry out the liberal economic agenda i mean saying that the problem with the allies russia party is that

it's not capable of reproducing itself ok it was all sure to surround mr putin it's a good job with this change of generations of course this is not the sort of radical change which people might have expected but you know is 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 these e's really something new for russian politics credit will the christian science monitor says let him repeat in becoming president again maybe not a bad option for the west as they already know. so people become more certain that there is one. system of power in russia that it's here to stay i think that's what this is the message of the world is but it's not a bad message. just like some of the troubles of the putin you know between the west and east. putin was seen as the sole were

a reliable predictable partner in. russian interests very assertively ready to go green or see what it would like to see in the united states but it works for them it's the mill he's a known quantity and he is predictable he's got your appreciation or excessive in any way so i think that people will be settled down to the idea that we've got putin for at least six more years if not twelve. then build relations with russia and at least. try to see money from abroad is crucial for developing russia's economy pants the professor of politics at the university of kent in england believe they've put him becomes president he should make it 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 growing pressure has the authority

to do something about grounds i think our. presence he needs to strengthen those institutions and he needs a government i can implement with presidents maybe to 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 still a reality mosque and some people are vibrant so she has put out the case for the region so really we much greater the time in nation and implementation that it's up to the ruling town and to make that happen. and of course we always value your opinion so no going to r.t. dot com and tell it will you things which rolls in the reading tons of will mean for russia and here is good news it is right in so far almost half of you saying the change will be effective because it will people want it about a quarter believe the move will anger voters and increase the opposition's chances

and finally thirty percent say this change will be perceived a matter of fact but will also bring investment in the country so please cast your vote at r.t. dot com. both might have been working together for more than a decade and saturday's announcement means that their partnership is likely to remain for years to come out you can see even the background story of the times i'm at the top of russian politics. those with. the streets competent and must be elected president of the country a person with possible to work and stand. four years later the baton has passed and what is here to be an official albeit casual fashion. will of hail from some old had the political hound for ten years now i too have proved it a double headed eagle on the russian flag is not only a number in the two thousand presidential vote after brazil's left office and putin

was named his successor it was dmitri mcgregor who managed his compay but the world would first hear about five years later when he became first deputy prime minister the same year an implantable business magazine in russia would name him the man of the year overseeing national priority projects the very painted his vision for years to come way from a resource economy modernize the country. all these would later be put together in his manifesto russia in december two thousand and seven cheering a similar united russia convention but it was in poor mali indorsed as a candidate for the country's top job and these time it was who delivered his successor a successful campaign he's a poor student that is popularity over seventy percent of the vote and in march two thousand and eight he did it was elected president one he regarded 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 i didn't put in makes it to the kremlin in march twenty twelve he will serve six not four years. signature gold rush it transformed into gold in both models brought the house down and it wasn't simply a president passing the bus and saying you counted it instead the two most powerful man in russia more seats that's proving don't worry about us competing in the upcoming books as we will reach an agreement between us long before that it's in a gradual got r.t. . to gaze for can columnist and political analyst says that stability was the whole

mark of the idea of prescience previous presidential plans making him the most influential politician in the country but really very few people dart of the prime minister. as the move influential and the most political figure he's a charismatic leader as you understand and he has built up his two presidential terms on the stability which was very important for actions and this is the reason why he won the support not only of the for lead but the through faults and also. i think whether we like the north this is a reality i think that making such a move. or more tender as you say sent a political message to the russians as a role to the rest of the world. is not our beat it is not absolute

this is a rabble construction which can work for years you see it is quite effective. and then trade commission or vice president of the eurasia foundation and hope that president medvedev will continue to use here and implemented initiatives after he comes prime minister. i would say that it's not just his ideas it's evident that the russia needs innovation rational his knowledge on his age and we need to move that way on energy economy to a 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 we can 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 concentrate on. then the top headline here in moscow prime

minister a regular person would run for president of russia in the trying to twelve election there now and came at the annual convention of the country's very united russia party president dmitry medvedev proposed solution for the top job while he said he's planning to have a party in december's parliamentary elections and continue his modernization initiatives that teacher prime minister that imitation in a speech that can be viewed as his fast of a campaign pledge to boost russia's economy and tackle corruption. so what's the reaction been to the news across that line take the white house has that big question asked to hold become the next president should be for the russian people to determine and expect the reset in relations with moscow to continued any case and fresh and international affairs expert from washington also believes that there won't be any major change i believe that russia also is interested in following the process the arms control process in trying to lead us historically if you were pons the way the united states to use interested in doing so for russia says to you

clearly were points of arsenal. 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 in france russia simple solution to it is solved. continued unchanged since the days of mr putin us president i believe. used by russia. we want our children's lives from need to be missile defense system based in europe it's not going to be used against russia. those conditions those demands are going to be continued. john laughlin from being cheered on democracy and corporation in paris so the international situation right here could see significant changes and a new elected russian president will have to that assertive to deal with them. there are differences there have been big differences between a few different hooted one of the. things that people usually said it is that he's

moral put some up or a western both liberal and so on where scrutiny is more hardline that's not my view at all it's after all under a million which president stated life but the russian children of war was fought in two thousand and eight it is a war which radically change the balance of power we're going to review where as it was under vladimir putin to see that nato enlarged. and included former soviet republics like altered states and of course made its famous question to you here a nitro beyond traditional to make us known for all those things happened under the aegis we're actually will care but i'd like to make one point and that is that the international situation that russia will face as. in takes over 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 neighbors russia's own role in that new configuration can only be decisive as the global economies struggle to break free of a downward spiral the head of russia's invasion of the banks and run out and will encourage foreign investment. oh i think things are good news for a national lesson community particularly now in the very very high in the. very ones that investors now can see the stability of the political force the stability of the konami force and assistance and i think underlying the need for speed economic growth you mentioned the rate of development all six seven percent of g.d.p. as one of the main target for. the building of the government for the next two

years is also some quite the numbers keep working you can only see like for the easy show like an improvement on what is a structure and many other very important things we can think for now into the program of the party and two because you see all the economic force one move it will be a prime minister it's also i think quite exciting decisions all these congress. and if you missed something on now you can always catch up on our website artie dot com well there's lots more besides and you can go to our facebook page to have your say on our top stories and check it out of years thank you so much also don't forget you can find updates to all the major news around twitter feeds r t underscore com and while you're on line check out our you tube channel for that eye from here.

today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. trying to corporations rule today. returning to the news that led repudiates to run for president of russia next year's elections the head of russia's foreign affairs committee constantine because the child believe that what's most important about the announcement is that it means both persian and made bed of will stay together the countries how. they believe there predictability and transparency in what we are doing here inside of united russia party inside of the government the ruling to story this is to be welcomed by anybody else in the world and they believe that the decision which is taken by this point i want to thank you. we want.

to thank you thank you thank you. very quickly in russia you have this strong communication you don't need to continue throughout your together in charge of the know you and. other capacities but stick together if this strong communication is good for russia it's good for the russian foreign policy and i believe you could be a. political analyst a clock told r.t. earlier that the popularity of mr pearson is linked to economic improvements in russia injuring his time in office. you have to understand that it. has been extremely popular in russia since ninety nine when he became their prime minister russian federation before his first presidency and russia has made it agree to a. twelve years russian g.d.p.

has almost doubled the level of life in russia will or russia not only the capitals has improved significantly the russian economy has been constantly rebuilding. its role and you know. very ambitious goals during. the presidents. of russia russia. based on the resources russia has it's very important that russia is an exporting country the contre that produces and to the global production so in this case russia has a very bright future. while in office president medvedev has urged progressive proposals for russia's economic development and michael again we are four and a proud specialist at the times newspaper in london hopes that he can continue promoting be their prime minister. i think that if the view now continues the prime minister will preside over a very similar policy to what we've been seeing for the past few years the

objective factors are in russia's. resources what is simply needed. economic reform a shake up of the system a couple of the enterprise. and overwhelmingly a real sharp attack on corruption in a lot of talk but very little action challenge for the government yes. there are reasons for this one is that it does need a little bit more foreign investment but these are all the russians plenty of its own needs. some of the outside interest and the other problem is you need a much more competitive edge to some of these. there are too many monopolies and too many. held in place i'm afraid by corrupt oligarchs. so it's been a big day for russian politics and along with the ruling party united russia two other major parties held their conventions ahead of december's elections to the

lower house of parliament the communist party was one of them as a gather to work out his campaign strategy and select candidates to run one of the oldest parties in the country where there's a large number of seats in parliament with its leading you know these are ghana also presidential candidate in past elections and the latest opinion polls place the communist second only to united russia along on the heart of attempting to make it to the demons are just fashion of the liberal democrats and to recognize a democratic opposition party yabloko. to remind you of russia's main political news today prime minister vladimir putin declared his candidacy for the president of russia in the trying to twelve election announcement came this sunday as a jury and then the excuse me annual conference of the country's ruling united russia party present each image that it fully indorsed putin's presidency and in turn will leave the party in december's parliamentary election is also willing to become prime minister should united russia with or can be counted as his first campaign speech making a push in pledged to boost russia's economy and tackle corruption. and more
