so go search olympic gold circus or chill that's really a ski region if so you punish medicine as a a strong kempinski might go twitchy look you because god told him. no so it's a. welcome back this is our t. live from moscow in our developing story this hour a nato report of the bulldozers the serbian roadblock at the border with northern cost of oh it follows new study shoot to kill policy was a force near the disputed checkpoint as anger there reached new heights. greeks are bracing themselves for yet more costs and higher taxes and the latest round of austerity measures pushed through by the government but it's part of a bid to prove the nation is fit for another slice of the bailout cake the decision

was suspended earlier over doubts the country is doing enough to reduce its enormous stick. richard dead of a said both he and redeemer putin would have stood for the same goals if running for the presidency but good to its popularity among russians makes him a better candidate he's explained why he would root for the race in an interview to russian media. and the highlights about interviews coming up here on r.t. . that's not pushing it in here mr president who last week a major and long awaited apparent happened in politics at the united russia convention you suggested that lead him or put in should run for president mia wondering what your moves for your approval rating is high and you're a young energetic politician what it would reputation what was the primary motive

behind your decision usually presidents seek reelection you're a politician and politicians are ambitious people what was your ambition in making this decision so children were here and it's ever the bush let it alone and with a looming my biggest ambition is to be useful to my country and my people this may sound a bit pretentious but it's true unless you have this ambition you shouldn't go into politics you should focus on something else instead of politics or government service we both belong to the same political force but for dimia putin and dmitri medvedev were nominated for the presidency first him then me under the current model of power by the united russia party that he may have put in was number one of the united russia slate and yours truly is this time so we really represent the same political force we belong to the same political force and our views are very close so sharing the same views should we compete against each other should we

argue and fight i read a few pieces by political analysts the basically say why don't they go into the political arena and vowed to fight each other to the end why don't they have an open rivalry but that's not the way it happens anywhere in the world people who represent the same political force always decide between themselves who will run for this or that office and some countries they use primaries for this purpose we don't have much experience with primaries in russia where we have seen positive examples and some come. trees the decision is made simply by at a party convention or by the leaders themselves can you imagine barack obama competing with hillary clinton you may remember who they both saw nomination that would be impossible they both belong to the democratic party and their decision was based on who would get better results and this was also how we made our decision. of course it's nice to know that people trust me as president and that my approval rating is quite high in the current circumstances but i also know prime minister

putin undoubtedly remains the most popular politician in our country at this point somehow people tend to forget about that what we are after is a political result we want to win the elections both the parliamentary election in december and the presidential election in march not just to satisfy our ambitions every responsible person should have an ambition to serve their country i strongly believe that that's where you stand the analyst. or speaking of your plans for the thousand and twelve you had quite a few interviews in recent months where you hinted that you did not rule out the possibility of running for office why was that if you genuinely feel this way at the time or you simply didn't want to break the news with a decision you made together with putin ahead of the time ship or in your own. the ship they did not let me tell you and of course all our people absolutely frankly we are dealing with practical politics and practical governance everything may change in this life. putin and myself are holding the top two posts that of

president and prime minister and we must basically be a backup for each other because we're ordinary people after all therefore when i said i did not rule out such a possibility naturally i was not cheating anyone life could have taken an unexpected term but we did have a certain understanding between us what it sees this is a president now a few words that are the united russia convention it astounded me first by the huge number of participants which i'm sure we are learning from our foreign colleagues exactly it looks foreign to me with all the cameras banners and flags have the same time and the atmosphere was very warm friendly and i would even say intimate then to crown it all to a very respected figures appeared and said they had agreed on how to distribute club jobs in the go in between and many people watched theirs and said it has all been decided already well spend money on the elections was the point of their chins if everything has been decided us that was with us no it got here slim as it was

for first of all i agree that the atmosphere of the convention was very warm now about those ideas you mention i consider them absolutely irresponsible misleading and even provocative what are you talking about the election campaign has just started let's ask ourselves a simple question what if our people reject us both me beard and clinton what will happen to these decisions by the convention these decisions are merely the party's recommendation to vote for those people that's all what you mean everything has been determined let's imagine for a second that we've reached an agreement we have going are these uganda the deal is of and of ski sail again on earth and others or they will not run or as we the big time politicians will come would have really been an imitation of like the. they will they will take part in the elections both in december and march they will take part in the state duma election and they also have presidential ambitions the people decide who they should vote for whose popularity is greater only our people

can make a final decision by voting for a candidate or a political force or turning them down this is what democracy is about is democracy still mr president many people felt like everything has been decided yet it is that they were only bored for a few hours in jail if he couldn't withstand how much of good is resignation was a matter of discipline it was like and how much of it was his differences were you did you really have serious differences with the finance minister ship because i think the situation with mr calderon is a matter of discipline in government service that's all there is to it which we don't have a coalition government in russia but yet we are a presidential republican it's not a parliamentary not with girls our government is the president's government it implements the president's policies but if you don't agree you should step down that's the only way it can be it's a tough rule but i'm very strong about it and i will insist on it in the future and i'm sure that whoever is the head of state in future they will follow the same

principles not as for mr cooper it seems to me that perhaps he stayed a bit long in his job when we board in fact he came to see me in february or march and said he was aware that it made no sense for him to work in the future government because he'd been finance minister for a very long time naturally he knew nothing about our understanding with mr putin and the recommendations we were going to give at the convention those he did not have any allusion not that's where his remarks amazed me anyway the decision has been made or that's very likely good or in future is a good professional with a lot of experience so he will find a good job and a way to be useful to the state but. which we mr president you're the only person at the top of the united russia federal list how much are you personally going to be involved in campaign. who else or what else will united russia use for its campaign and do you expect tough competition during this campaign it is that the world is looking at i see you indeed i am at the top of the united russia list

which the party asked me to do this and it's a serious choice for me at the same time let me remind you that i am still president i have a lot of responsibilities both domestically and internationally person actually are not going to take a vacation and i will not occupy myself with any special campaign activities i will be performing my duties of the same time i'm sure there will be tough competition competition will be tough but hopefully proper and we have the necessary legal mechanisms to ensure that we can use the speaking of the siding with the president that it's a good his dismissal or the united russia convention all of that didn't go down well with the russian goes here as an active internet user do you feel any pressure from the go-go's here have you applied to any of the comments posted to your account lately or would you like to reply to them right now. is that we're you know if i literally felt the pressure it would be very difficult for me to work as

president of the same time you're right to say i pay a lot of attention to the internet but there are people who start saying that's terrible democracy is over and then there are people who cheer and say finally you should be even tougher on them i think the fact that the internet what is fear or social networks react to politics is a good thing it means there's a vivid feedback to what we're doing the reactions vary but this difference of opinions is one of the elements of direct democracy the modern twenty first century democracy of course internet polls and their results are not legally binding for governments nor do they accurately reflect all public opinion it's great that they're all those different opinions and i believe that the authorities should react to what's going on in the blogosphere without giving in to its pressure of course what government should be up to date and it should pay attention for pay. expressed including those expressed by the internet it's a must for any politician of any level in the world today she watched it closely watched obviously never to know mr president he noticed one arming train with our

society lately namely that the public has been turning its back on politics turning its back on the government and no matter how successful some individual companies are managers could be there is a distinct feeling that some people have been in their jobs for too long what needs to be done for new strong individuals to appear in this country and it is obviously to demand that exists shelob was the most. yeah first let me say a few words about the weariness i've been thinking about it quite a lot maybe because i'm one of those who thinks of their official status are often shown on t.v. and spoken about in other media. is that all of the of you must remember how our people myself included perhaps you too although you're a long time media professional used to watch news bulletins in the early one nine hundred ninety s. we were glued to the screen was hours of political broadcasting overshadowed everything any movies or t.v. series i think that's a clear sign of poor living standards the better our life is the less attention

people will pay to that because they are more or less happy with their life however they should not become indifferent they should go to the polls and vote for this or that political force this is the constitutional duty if you will of every citizen and is not indifferent to the destiny of their own country their homeland now what concerns the need for the new faces you were talking about i'm fully with you on this it's not only about stagnation stagnation is always dangerous and may lead to very bad consequences what's crucial is that those in power should eventually muster up enough strength to leave it to somebody else such changes should not happen abruptly with everyone resigning at once waving their hands in farewell with the idea of hootin and me saying goodbye we're off there must be continuity we must know who succeeds us at the helm of the state however there must be a renewal and a very serious one i've been trying to make sure that this renewal is continuous there must be new faces in the government therefore if it happens that our nation

as citizens of russia interest the united russia party to form the next government i mean if they vote for united russia if our citizens vote for a presidential candidate and if i become in charge of forming a new government it will be a totally reshaped government a government that will feature fresh faces this is what i believe to be of paramount importance. and there's i suppose i think history and there thank you for this interview but since this thank you. for your. error. very first verses of the bible that all human beings are created but some of it all came in god's image and it doesn't say just jews or god. six is seventy percent of what i did as a common soldier nicely by territory was a do with the turds doing what we call making our presence so we go out should some

the second period box worship in the aging south african side though holding on for an eight point win. the focus a very physical game of who we played a lot of physical games before games other teams as well. all the top teams are pretty physical but i think we've. got through the school i think operation might be a bit bigger than other teams probably. haven't heard such hargraves which we're now russia's rugby world cup adventure comes to an end this weekend the deadly things take on twice champions australia on saturday after valiant displays in their three previous pool clashes our correspondent richard brown poor fleet caught up with one of these coach robbie deans a man preparing to do battle against his native land. but i'm going to introduce russia as we go into their final game of this rugby world cup against australia on saturday and all the players around it is very picturesque town of nelson on

wednesday the match coaching staff. that will play against the australians and they've made any changes to the side that lost against ireland all six of those are in the pack the biggest decision that they had to make was from the play of fly half and your question out of ray's head of constantine rushkoff laundry also cause miserable torment continues to say all sharks all came into the wall come with an injury and he's failed to shake it off and unfortunately play a single minutes of rugby here in new zealand but i'm glad to be joined by adam burns and adam having quite a lot of emotions will be going through your mind when the match gets underway on saturday. is certainly an experience i really was ever going to be a possibility long ago that's for sure and here playing against a lot of former teammates or people that i've played against in the super rugby competition is one i'm very much looking forward to today he will be

a. rich. is the normal guy and people will try and track means nothing stupid the wallabies a god you're getting so forth research the quarterfinal but also i mean in terms of australia sometimes we even actually manage to sort of turn i've australia early in your career always are just way great. things. plays rugby and. aspires to be all over him. that's something i certainly wanted to do just like any other. kid in the way things are paying their you know i turned thirty this year and have the opportunity for international rugby in the world cup it's a great. i guess finish my career but when the teams are lined up and you hear advance australia fair. they will be saying it. won't. i'm feeling that's all i can really predict but it's silly to be different but i mean growing as it was as a kid you must've been supporting australia i mean no that's

a thousand free world cup which is in australia i mean you've been forty seven all these. guys i was at the three follow him in the fall against england in the one out of the san jacinto wallabies jersey had a guy being sure i would win and like i said it's always pretty much dreams always be my goal to play for the wallabies only i mean even. russia played rugby at the beginning the went off and off to another in a world cup i didn't even hesitate australia was installed as massive favorites of mine again but a lot of these coach robbie deans so it's the bears are more than just mixing it's the big boys of this world cup their culture the fact that they were leaving the country within twenty four hours of their word to the world for sure good night. good night will be not only playing. some constructive or agree with showing their pride you're showing the meaning to them and that will involve critical commitment we had efforts to give serious i asked in return and we got

a result that we were happy with a. significant number of points are scored but the game itself was physical it was tough and the failure to be the same or suspect i'll show you and you'll be video analysts of looking at the russian play and i think russia. really australia very open game look at russia have to try and get up to the level of sail straight up the disc. and prepare for it so you can pull something out that you haven't prepared for so you just have to training staff with conditioning those and that's been the one really obvious improvement across the board at this work up until the solids that have been the conditions and there becomes a matter how you play hey you're probably that physically fit and. i agree with you there's no doubt that. they're working hard on the skills. and we're going on broadening their their approach theme play is i mean we're going to play this

year you know they have actually been good strong. very good price for any sort of thing this is a critical mass comprised of the. numbers of prizes. wolf for any so it is a critical record we have as described in my meeting this becomes resistible plays a fairly enjoyed the world cup i'm just going by some of these game and if they can keep the australians down trying to fifty points that will feel like a massive moral victory for all the bad which company don't see nelson new zealand . and that is all the sport for this our world weather is up next in just that sixty shortly.

we'll. bring you the latest science and technology from the realms of. the future coverage.
