2:31 pm
prime minister a presidential candidate for the next election and it gave the interview to several of the country's top t.v. channels he talks about why he chose to run for the kremlin to get an outline of the political and economic course he thinks is best for russia. good afternoon ladies good afternoon and i'm open to your questions. for you today you know the recent convention is the you know it's a crush of party political situation in the country much clearer just a couple of weeks ago we had a chance to discuss that with russian president dmitry medvedev euro today we wanted to ask you the questions which we believe are of interest to our fellow citizens and the first one was voice both by your supporters and skeptics why are you returning to the kremlin russia is clearly yeah i'm aware of the wave of
2:32 pm
questions and comments in this regard that appeared on the internet in online and print media but and here's what i would like to say as i've mentioned many times and as first russian president but he's yeltsin said i never aspired to this position it's a well known fact initially when this offer was made i explicitly expressed doubts over my ability to handle such a huge workload and enormous responsibility for the fate of the nation but once i take up a job i do my best to complete it or at least do you have maximum results and there are people who as you mentioned to criticize me and to me to mediate if they say that if your humble servant takes part in the election that would mean that there would be no election old girl in the house that would be the case for them but an ordinary citizen always has a choice to make so our critics might see it their own way but in this case they ought to present their platform and what's more important not only presented but also to prove in practice that they can do this job better there are others who say
2:33 pm
that we're in for a period of stagnation similar to the time when soviet leader lead to brazen it was in power. i do not want to sound too critical there were indeed many achievements but in fact i do not recall any of the post-war soviet leaders who would be as hardworking as myself or the incumbent president dmitri medvedev i don't remember any. you know they couldn't i mean money they couldn't do their physical condition and the lack of going to. sounding of what needed to be done there might well have done something but they didn't have a clue or enough will for that we can also refer to the experience of other countries where i didn't try to hold on to power and you know it perfectly well although i could have easily taken advantage of the constitutional majority of the ruling and i had russia party to amend the constitution it would i stop short of us i didn't change the constitution to suit i will not only myself but i wanted people to see that there would be no tragedy in the natural change of power but that's
2:34 pm
turned to other countries that were up to the end of the second world war the us didn't have any limits on the number of presidential transition with me yes franklin d. recent that was elected free for all your time. prior to that you get some u.s. presidents ran for a third time but if i'm not mistaken none of the attempts was successful except the loser leader who was elected president four times running these two at the helm throughout the ordeals of economic depression and the second world war and was elected four times because his policies were effective. but the exact number of terms of years in power do not really matter helmut kohl spent sixteen years in power in west germany he wasn't president but his post was actually the most important executive job in the country and the same goes for one of the former canadian prime ministers another look at past war france our president could have been elected for seven years without a limit on the number of terms it was just recently that france introduced amendments into its constitution and cut it down to no more than two five year
2:35 pm
terms very similar to what we have in russia you know what does that mean when a country is facing difficult and hard times when it's not recovering from a crisis and getting back on its feet these pillars of stability including in politics and the play of vital role there anyway actually. mr putin you talk a lot about stability stability has its negative side story as it sometimes results in a nationwide stagnation how do you feel about the lack of staff rotation in the government some ministers have not only devious results over their terms in office they could use was a series of failures what do you think the fact they are still in office might be a sign of a standstill in the country you know i guess i mean you still scratch your head of their frequent reshuffles of the government or a sign of weakness the indicator that officials are either incapable or unwilling to accept personal responsibility if we keep passing it around like a hot potato now that you do you have to try everything you can to make it official
2:36 pm
work before you decide to dismiss him that one more thing when we choose people for certain jobs we always try to make a good thought out choice and does not always work out perfectly of course and in these cases we are forced to let people go this is true that i don't not for some of it or somebody out there still the best way to go into too much of a standstill and you'll start to get rid of some of your old allies who are no longer working efficiently your predecessors would have said they never hesitated to drop off the ballots going up this is actually the reason why. politician has got a specially notable political figures are always essentially general de golyer going to churchill spoke of this do you perhaps feel the need to let go of some of the people you've been working with and that if it alternatively will things go a different way which is perhaps easier to envision in russia with current kremlin residents of moving to the white house and you as a person resulting in you know changes you're going to feel things and so he calls them again with. their loneliness is not related to staff policy it has nothing to
2:37 pm
do with appointments and reshuffles when it is there would let me tell you what causes it with prominent political figures cannot let anyone near themselves they're not allowed to favor certain people over others their decisions cannot be based on personal sympathies they have to be based on professional impartial analysis and the will to take responsibility that is at the same time we cannot go to extremes there has to be a degree of succession in power we cannot start by playing games and we can't go and dismiss the parliament just because someone on television or some print journalist said we have to that would not be serious we have to look at the people who are making their third or fourth attempt the result problems they've been working on and if they're tired with their performance with articles we have to find some other place where they can apply their efforts talent and experience it and once their positions are open we bring in new people with fresh ideas and motivation to implement that open this is what we're planning to do we have a lot to learn from the great politicians you mentioned that we each had plenty of
2:38 pm
experience in politics i would even say they were philosophers as well as politicians the goal had a lot of different things he's one of my favorite papers in politics they were professionally connected to france with so you might know this saying of his always choose the hardest way you'll never find rivals there. and here. was a piece in western countries did not react strongly to you will decision to run for president at the upcoming elections they said it was russia's internal affairs and as are you. put it they were ready to work with any legitimate elected president you must understand however that politically western states consider you all. feel about that what is going to happen to the reset of russian u.s. relations which exists as an idea but there is not many signs that it's working or initial. yet it will be looking for good bird but you are certainly no doubt. i am a man and i do not like you she's our foreign policy in the past and today was thought
2:39 pm
out and aimed at creating a favorable environment for russia's developments like this means we want to have friendly relations with all of our partners that naturally we have and always will defend our national interests when we have always been regarded all of those when we did it and we plan to maintain that in future. when you were the. boy mr posen you just mentioned the economy and the crisis it looks like there is another storm brewing which is tumbling and people say there is only so much the traders themselves can do about it emerging markets are losing capital because of the same is true about russia i recently read an article that said the governments needed a new program to counter the next crisis a program that would be like a good skirt on a girl because she wants an offering an attractive perspective it would supposedly that would help businesses translate and stop the crisis what's good is your government has such a program. that at least if so he may go to you know if we keep talking about
2:40 pm
a full of stock market indexes they might never recover russia will grow by four percent this year which is satisfactory china will grow by nine percent which is a good result we have to push for six to seven percent economic growth we managed to deliver that in the pre-crisis years and we will try to do it again as i have said before we will of course try to make our economy more open and there are fears however especially in the light of russia's w t o accession that opening it too much might harm it we're turning to your metaphor i'm sure it's good looks. some women but others are better off wearing something else. for the longest careers and they would guess other clothes are not part of you i believe we have managed to make ourselves safe from unpleasant surprises as we negotiated on russia's w t o x session with was essentially entire branches of russia's economy are going through a long transition period i'll say it again however we only need make our final decision yet when all of the failsafe causes that we might need to protect our
2:41 pm
economic interests at one point or another are in place in the search what would be a good percentage for united russia in these elections but it is you are trying to get a political forecast out of. it it's because they are not asking for any numbers i just ask you what results would be satisfied are you in there i hear united russia has to remain the leading political party in the country and the parliament that would be a good result. but if they are going to feel that way thank you very much for this talk mr putin i believe we are finished with today i said thank you. from the days of the manhattan project being transported to the university of california has been involved through the science of its provision of scientists and

2:43 pm
a very warm welcome to you this is your news today protesters on the walls streets they have. these intensely champions the chances to get the stats to be human experiments it's a little bit. because you approach this in this realm you suppose it just goes to solidity trying to make sense of political economy and it's on changelings us financial table to the responsibility to maintain all confidence in the markets and think you want to be seen. trade imbalances recession look even the nations close to collapsing you sometime looking for close. to fail circle a box again feel level i think is us crash seven and. seeing it seems like because it just isn't enough in st the i.m.f.

2:49 pm
a surprise group leaders from lung cancer if reports. says come moscow are one of the favorites to win the russian premier league but they're achieving this year have come at a price injuries have plagued the club from the beginning of the season with captain and iconic goalkeeper of the national team i can face the latest player to join the sick list also sidelined our japanese mate fielder case of the honda defenders victor vie to get out of the shedding of carol not bucking and forward stick or lease it due to the team's domestic success most of the players became leaders in their respective national teams that fact alone has certainly added to says goss poor record in recent games including the latest disappointing domestic to all draw at home to take over the majority to be playing with a completed squad for quite some time already in class most of all men were instrumental for their countries in recent international matches so you can obviously built up more now a momentary relaxation costs just dealing with what i hope will make the right
2:50 pm
conclusions from what happened and the things one happened again it wasn't the best of starts for cisco moscow in the group stages of the u.a.e. the champions league but the muscovites displayed true strength of character coming back from two goals against little to salvage a draw and says almost managed to repeat that heat in the next match against it's going to turn champions in terror but a late goal by more was a rotter left the army men in last place in group big trouble in this war on the other hand find themselves at the top of the group after defeating answer in italy well french outfit little have drawn both of their games and stand in third place so the top two political action spots are still up for grabs. drugs and war will be aiming for nothing less than a victory in moscow in order to increase their groovy lead and following in historic one nil away when it entered the land anything seems possible for this turkish side the club is doing pretty well in their domestic league as well in second place after six matches because i'm sick of the head of this tournament very
2:51 pm
few people had any doubt that we would be in last place but as you can see things are going well we remain optimistic and are looking forward to a positive result both in moscow and at home but we understand it see as khan has put a lot of hoping to the next two games against us says current troubles and spore will play each other again in group b.'s next match which will take place on the second of november in therapy and the sides are coming to eye on tuesday should it serve in both teams aspirations for this european company or one cause for an artsy moscow. well meanwhile despite having played only eight domestic games so far english premier league leaders manchester city are also facing selection problems up front ahead of their home game against me or a l. in group a on tuesday when genius side have taken just one point from two games so far and i'm sure that the mancini is limited in terms of their striking options with mario balotelli suspended and big summer signing say you're struggling with a growing injury why new york are top of the group ahead of napoli and it's by the
2:52 pm
way our are bringing up the rear and have no point so far that's mancini still expects a stern test for his place to. be out because they play a full bore very well for us in a very large and it is not about if we are playing away i don't know where that is important that we are winning this game and that you know if we win in this game maybe year after not going out there is that come from. naples but after i think that every care if we win we can win most of it and it's possible we have a chance at them. while the group the leaders re on the days will put their leading position on the line when they host french side me on tuesday the business is are two points behind so could propel themselves into the driver's seat if they win at the bernabeu right now are one of just three teams with a one hundred percent record so far in the group stages but managers a rino is not afraid to lose it. it's not easy to win every game in the champions
2:53 pm
league so it will be no great drama if we don't get a result on action and points which makes us the best place team to win the group but first of all we have to qualify and only after that will think about we have a group. and staying with the goal and in the russian premier league rubin won three nil at times response at moscow on sunday to gain a confidence boosting victory had a thursday here oakley clash at sort of well the way and came to spazz along injury list has moved the home side to sixth in the table the bombardier. men took the lead through christian about eight minutes into the second half and just four minutes later xander the sunset found himself under not in the box to make it to. the stoppage time we were just not show finished off the resulting victory right thing the circuit so three know it finished and have been just a point if one spot sac. i. know me like what he's
2:54 pm
charged at the table continues the moscow side and i'm full of beating ten men bottom side top three now at home to go eleven games unbeaten since the arrival of manager jersey who set out in july so he had a bridge which opened from the spot twenty minutes into the other do than i was sent off for a second card. eleven minutes after the break in his golf he did to know. anything the situation quickly wrap things up mako comes to be held on three nil now just five points of top spot. coming up on class apprised of and after wrapping up a comprehensive three one victory in poland latvia love each open for the host experience in. the knesset each made it to nil just before the hour. and make it a very soft but the home side three nil up which will now let visitors did not

a consolation to the injury time efforts of course but it was three useful points from cars to rise to eleventh it could bounce that fellow ruby intercepts. add files on the second cotton spot at mel to snatch a dramatic last minute equaliser to do a lot more on him to big spending and think about who seems to have given the visitors the lead author defensive blooper approaching i found all. the heads at a shelf stuck into the roof of the nets in the dying seconds to send home crowd and supernatural. and it's now russia's biggest tournament the kremlin cup is underway here in moscow with local girl the other the shop owner providing the first upsurge in the women's draw the thirty five year old of muscovites done something about the vinci of italy who seeded seventh and stuff like michelle and that is in fact it's nice if it's all about the former finalist edged another russian is not enough italian soccer and army also made an early exit at the hands of the stones. long
