from minutes of this new position now says he's to run for the russian president seems twenty twelve bonded by the london office now dmitry medvedev president bit of the south also revealed he leaves the country's ruling party united russia in december parliamentary elections and become the new prime minister should it and wind up votes and. twenty four hour news live from moscow this is r.t. with me us of our runs out of story tonight prime minister putin will run for president of russia in the twenty twelve elections that i was meant was made of the ruling united russia party as annual convention last presidents but that it's sad

that he had been passing december's parliamentary elections and as great a lead the government as future prime minister a the party wins our season he said now or heard the historic speeches first time. united russia party russia and the world knew that somehow one way or another and the figure that 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 just yesterday i mean it's a party because the session opened with the two leaders coming in to get their lead singer puts 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 also that's really been this day despite that we slowly got hints that making today was going to be the day and then president medvedev said this. yes.

i believe it would be right for the conventions to support their candidacy overlooking their permits and in the presidential election. thank you thank. you this includes me so i don't have to explain what kind of experience and authority president putin announced. thank you for your school and i'd like to say something despite rumors that it is going to split within china jim i can say this was a well thought through decision. and what came out as more of a surprise than the announcement that led to her pushing would in fact run for president in trying to trial was the announcement and the proposal from the lead singer who tend to carry on a tradition of modern day cross 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 me to be made to get to go on to be at the top of the list read the united prosser party into the december parliamentary elections he accepted. but not to express my gratitude to you for supporting my candidacy to run for president it's a great honor to meet you thank you but if you look at the numbers and with the parliamentary elections coming in december i would like to ask citizens to support the united russia party with dmitri. down on. the issue you. know you 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 there are there 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 most of the speeches and question. was not about the presidency who will run it was about what this party needs to do to take russia into the next ten years the cut the country has to build now they need to see development and that's what i did today is really about although of course it's being hijacked by this is big news this is story is that it was in europe which it will run for president and then that dmitri medvedev will become his prime minister. to give a political commentator and member of russia's council of foreign and defense policy power rotational bring a new political reality and also more liberal edge to the united russia party person is to me that it 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 innovation and innovations leaser things which are normally associated with mr medvedev name so if he becomes a reformist prime minister on this super popular president putin that brings ours so a new political reality surprisingly and bring us to a reality where mr putin who is normally associated with sort of strong sort of thing politics could in fact and indeed inevitably carry out the 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 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 united russia he's now becoming something similar to what the little democrats in japan are into what the p.r.i. party in mexico used to be that is to say it's

a ruling party which is capable of reproducing a new generation of leaders this ease really something new for russian politics and fred will be a christian science monitor federal education becoming president again maybe not a bad option for worth reading. but people will become more certain that there is one. type of system of power in russia it's here to stay i think that's with this the message to the world is that it's not a bad message i don't think. despite some of the troubles of the continue you know between the west and east. putin was seen as the stalwart reliable predictable partner the. russian interests very assertively you. see it would be like this in the united states but it works for them it's they know he's a known quantity and he is predictable he's not your precious or excessive in any way so i think that people will just settle down to the idea that

we could put in for at least six more years if not twelve. and build relations with russia on that basis. trusting money from abroad is crucial for developing russia's economy and danger and perhaps the professor of politics at the university of kent in england believes if a person 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 it is too much rampant corruption and too little rule of law. i think it has the authority to do something about grounds i think after trying to crazy me suffering from those institutions and needs a government i can implement with president mitigated 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 reality must go on simply to provide and so she was perhaps not the case for the region so you really need much greater determination and implementation but it's up to the ruling town and to make that happen. and of course we always your opinion so local to our to dot com and tell us what you think switching balls in the ruling turns or will need for russia and here is how did you used and abused divided so far so almost hard for you saying the trend will be affected because it's what people wanted a cause to believe the move will find their biases and increase their positions chances and finally there's this and say this change will be saved a matter of fact that will also boost investment in the country so please cast your vote at all t. dot com. and in their own we spoke to political analyst and host of assays cross-talk debate show people about who explained what lies ahead for alleging that vision on the united russia party. you know if the guessing game this was all done

on purpose i think it 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 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 that russia needs to be a safe haven they need to have these two leaders and this political party is problematic as it is in my opinion need to show stability and continuity will have 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 say we're the party of putin we're the party of medvedev and that's all nice and fine but needed it and mend and putin will do what they need is executives in the government ok and united russia just wants to hang on to their coattails i'll do it again but you know. voters don't reward complacency they don't reward people they don't know and i think this is an opportunity still 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 all it's all nice and fine because both of have 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 them have no health care for everyone i mean to put it 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 good pay your dues and show your for the for the current political establishment you 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. peace level also hosted a lively discussion on this issue in his crosstalk debate show so don't miss it on the program next hour here on out. both men have been working together for more than a decade and so today's announcement means that their partnership is likely to remain firm for years to come out he could see an international it tells us the background story of the times and at the top of russian politics. i decided to come. and must be elected president of the country a person with the possible to work in tandem. but four years later the bastion is past and what it appeared to be an official albeit casual fashion thanks. wolf hailed from south of his birth had the political house for ten years now to have proved that a double headed eagle on the russian flag is not only an emblem in the two thousand

presidential vote after brazil's in left office and putin was named his successor it was going to trinidad who managed his campaign but the world would first hear about the party years later when he became prime minister the same year and in financial business magazine in russia would name him the man of the year overseeing national priority projects painted his vision for years to come and move away from a resource economy modernize the country get rid of caracas all these would later be put together in his manifesto though russia in december two thousand and seven during a similar united russia convention was in formally endorsed as a candidate for the country's top job and this time it was delivered his successor as excess compay and his supporters boosted knew that its popularity tolbert seventy percent of the vote and in march two thousand and eight but it was elected

president what he regarded as more liberal than his predecessor his term would be remembered for reforms in the judicial system and avoid the worst month investment in new technology and strengthening civil society he also approved major changes to the constitution by extending the presidential term so if let him or putin makes it to the kremlin in march twenty. third six not four years which is the a mum. signature goal russia transponder into google both lot of those brought the house down and it wasn't simply a president passing by us and so a new candidates instead the two most powerful man in russia simply swapped seats thus proving don't worry about competing in the upcoming vote as a search will reach an agreement between us long before that it's in other children r t. i mean triple a kind of deputy head of the united russia central executive

committee says the most important consequence of the decision is that they tandems course will continue and with its stability the most important thing for the majority of people here is that the course of the two years or the will be if you need to be in the programs actually of the party and of the company in general so this is the most important thing so that down there will play with you in the video it's there for people who are thinking the same direction and of people who support the same basic values and sergei strucken columnist and political analyst says the stability was the whole mark of letting it put its previous presidential terms making him the most influential politician in the country. really very few people doubted that the prime minister put it as the movie influential and the most

popular political figure he's a charismatic leader is the understand and he has built up his two presidential terms are on the d.l. stability which was very important for russians and this is the reason why he won the support not only for lead but a fruitful also. whether we like the north this is a reality i think that they might make in such a move. or tandem as you say they send a political message to the russians as well to the best of the world that it was easy to do it is not our data it is not absolute this is a wabble construction which again it can work for years you see he despite the fact i don't recall colonel rice president of the eurasia foundation and you know that president medvedev will continue to have to see and implement a finish that after he becomes prime minister i would say that it's not just his

ideas it's evident that russia needs innovation. modernization we need to be alone and the g. economy the 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 counter and of global markets and i cope but this is something that the new president and the new prime minister will love concentrate on. and the top headline here in moscow this hour prime minister vladimir putin will run for president of russia in the twenty two of election that came at the annual conventional because he is ruling united russia party president to be treated better for post person for the top job while he sat if planning to head the party in december's parliamentary election and to continue his modernization initiatives their future prime minister vladimir

putin in a speech that can be viewed at its first of the campaign to burst russia's economy and titled corruption. so what's the reaction been to the news across the atlantic the white house has said that the question as to whole become the next president should be for the russian people to determine and express the reset relations with moscow to continue in any case and the oceans and international affairs expert from washington also believes that there will be any major change i believe that shows who is interested in following the process the arms control process in trying to leave us history. plans the same way the united states interested in doing so for russia's sister if you could work on so also north. in that since i don't think there's going to be a major change however there is the issue of missile defense. policy or missile defense russia superstition to it is something that has continued continued on

change since the days of mr putin us president i believe that the same arguments are used by russia. we want assurances from maple that the 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. to look at it from the institute for democracy and cooperation of paris as big financial situation next year could see significant changes and a newly elected russian president or have to be assertive to deal with the. there are differences there have been big differences between if and putin one of the. things that people usually said i mean if it's that he's moral somehow pro western protocol and so on whereas putin is more hardline that's not my view at all rates after a lot of media doing with presidents he had left but the russian children's war was fought in two thousand money to go to war which radically change the balance of

power we're going to have a deal where as it was a little timid who teaches that nato enlargement. including former soviet republics like altered states and of course made its famous push into ukraine beyond traditional to me i was going for all those things happened under guten us were actually able to make one plain and that is that the international situation that russia will face as. in takes over power again as president next year and as that russia goes into elections in december is very very uncertain indeed it me in 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 our people in europe in other words among russia's own neighbors russia's own role in that new configuration can only need decisive

i think global economy trouble to break free of it downward spiral the head of russia's banks as they're now trying to encourage for investment. but i think it's good news for internationalism community particular now in the very very high in the. very what's on the side that's investors now can see these to believe soon the political force is the belief of the no one force. to listen for to get on the line the need for speed economic growth you mentioned the rate of the growth of the most six seven percent of g.d.p. as one of the main targets for. the building of the quantifier the next two years is also some quite the number of important economic news you like more than the easy from like improving the infrastructure many of the very poor comes the things we can look forward now into the program will be foreseen and do because means you

will be economic force one is term limited it will be a prime minister as well so i think for the exciting decisions all of these numbers . and if you miss something and i can always catch up on our website called weather is goatse more besides and you can good health cases page to have you also on our top stories that check what other viewers think but also don't forget you can find updates to an order major news on our twitter page that's all t underscore calm while you all night and check out our you cheap channel for the best media as well. more news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada after. giant corporations are rooted a.

and returning to the news that letting a person is to run for president of russia in next year's elections the head of russia's foreign affairs committee that's in course a child believes that what's most important about an hour spent is that it means both pushing and made better all stay together at the country's help they believe their predictability and transparency in their would be are doing here inside of united russia party inside of the government the ruling the story of this is to be welcomed by anybody else in the world and they believe that the decision we choose to continue. to support when we work in six. months. thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you i think you are thinking russia to have this strong communication will build leaders continue to allow your together this each other no

you know any. other capacities not stick together to be strong commission is good for russia it's good for the russian foreign policy and i believe. while in office president made a bed of has a progressive proposals for russia's economic development and michael paine young foreign affairs specialist at the times newspaper in london hopes he can continue promoting peace and running. i think we're committed if obviously if he. continues the prime minister who presided over a very similar problem to what we've been seeing for the past few years the objective factors are in russia's paper. resources what is simply needed in economic reform a shake up of the system let a couple of the enterprise print and overwhelmingly a real sharp attack on corruption that's been

a lot of talk but very little action certainly a challenge for the government. various reasons for this one is that it does need a little bit more foreign investment projects but these all day russia has plenty of its own the. spectrum of 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 along with the ruling party united russia to other major parties have their conventions ahead of december elections to the lower house of parliament the communist party was one of them gathered to watch out its campaign strategy and select candidates to run one of the oldest parties in the country it wins a large number of seats in parliament with its leader good night easy going and also a presidential candidate in past elections latest opinion polls plays the economy is second only to united russia among other parties attempting to make it to the

dealer are just russia and the liberal democrats and a recognized democratic opposition party. and just to remind you of russia's main political news today prime minister vladimir putin declared his candidacy for the president of russia and the twenty twelve election there now isn't currently subtly during the annual conference of the country's ruling united russia party president dmitry medvedev fully into also putin's presidency and in turn will lead the policy in december parliamentary elections is also willing to become prime minister should united russia when it can be counted as its past campaign speech that impeachment pledge to boost russia's economy anti-corporate russian and more in-depth discussion on the announcement that lady who will run for the presidency next year in i'll do not spotlighting to the show in a few moments just after every copy of the top story here on r.t. .
