new york police are under investigation over claims of excessive force story and to wall street protests and some officers are seen resorting to punching and pepper spray at peaceful rallies. next uploads even given his first major interview since confirming he's running for president again he outlines to russian t.v. networks why he wants to return to the kremlin and his vision of the country's course if he gets the job. good afternoon again good afternoon i am open to your questions mr putin the latest convention of the united russia party made the political situation in this country much clearer recently with why are you returning to the kremlin if it is clear yeah but as i've mentioned many times and as first russian president buddies yeltsin said i never aspired to this position it's a well known fact that 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 i would want to take up a job i do my best to complete it or at least to yield maximum results but there are people who criticize me and dmitri maybe they say that if your humble servant takes part in the election that would mean there would be no election at all perhaps 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 to present it also to proven correct is that they can do this job better we can also refer to the experience of other countries franklin roosevelt stood at the helm throughout the ordeals of economic depression and world war two and was elected four times because his policies were effective 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 at this same goes for one of the former canadian prime ministers look at post-war france where a president could have been elected for seven years without a limit on the number of tournaments it was just recently that france introduced an

amendment into its constitution and cut it down to no more than two five year terms very similar to what we have in russia what does that mean when a country is facing difficult and hard times when it's recovering from a crisis and getting back on its feet if these pillars of stability including in politics are that way a vital role as regards my return nothing is decided until the people have voted it is one thing when i hear some people say that they would like to see that happen or when people. certain regions suggest something that it is a different thing when the whole country goes to the polls and we need our people to come and express their attitude to what we have been doing there is another important aspect here the most active part of the political spectrum people who talk about democratic institutions in russia they are concerned the democratic processes may be ruled back this is definitely not going to happen because i can't imagine russia developing without democratic institutions b.c. this is exactly what i intend to work on i will strengthen our country's political

system and its foundations i will work to develop democratic institutions and a market economy with an emphasis on social needs. which he recently visited china and as many know it was your first visit broad since you announced you were going to run in the election does that mean china is becoming russia's priority international partner but just by doing it is a coincidence if you look at the government schedule it is not a classified document that you will see that russian chinese intergovernmental meetings were conducted on a regular basis we have all reasons to consider china a strategic partner of russia and not only because we share the world's longest border but our trade is growing at a great rate china is developing very rapidly turning into a valued partner a great market for russian manufactured goods and a source of investments into our economy. a partner mr putin not a threat. i have said this on the more than one occasion to those who tried to scare me with the chinese threat in most cases it was our partners from the west

however lucrative the natural resources of eastern siberia and russia's far east might look we all know they are not the prize in today's biggest global struggle that struggle is for world leadership and we're not going to get in china's way there china has other competition there let them figure it out for russia china is first and foremost a reliable partner we can tell the chinese authorities and the people of china are willing to build up a good neighborly relations with us to look for middle ground solutions to issues that seem extremely complet. we can tell they are ready to do it we take measures to indicate we are ready and as a result we find points of contact and i'm sure it will continue to happen in the future for you or him with an idea. for a global leadership you recently wrote an article for the it is the daily where you suggest creating a eurasian economic area that would be a bridge between europe and the booming economies of the asia pacific region at the same time and everyone remembers you calling this downfall of the soviet union the last century's biggest geopolitical tragedy in this respect what would you say to

those who see in your words some sort of an imperial ambitions to recreate a new empire imperiously teacher well you don't need to be an expert to realize that if we combine our country's potential system in technology infrastructure transport energy sector mineral resources workforce territorial and language opportunities which are no less important for developing a common economic space if we combine all these potential our competitiveness will search it will grow dramatically we're using the potential we have inherited from the older generation and we can transfer it to a new modern basis today and if we are committed to introducing the principles of the world trade organization into an operating procedures this will make us more transparent to our next gen partners as for the foreign critics who say that russia has imperial ambitions so what can i say we see what is going on in europe for example integration has reached a level even the soviet union could never dream of i think you know and if you

don't i will tell you that the european parliament houses more decisions binding on the member states than the supreme soviet of the soviet union ever passed with the soviet republics when you look at america north america is engulfed in the intense integration processes that involve the united states canada and mexico the same is true for latin america and africa but it is ok over there and nobody has any objections but when it comes to russia here we are at imperial ambitions i can tell these critics who. by the way they don't seem to be very conscientious or scrupulous if you know what mind your own business go combat the climbing inflation and the growing national debt and even obesity do something useful. to pizza in western countries did not react strongly to your decision to run for president at the upcoming elections they said it was russia's internal affairs and as angela merkel put it they were ready to work with any legitimate lee elected president you must understand however that politically western states consider you all how do you

feel about that and what is going to happen to the reset of russia if u.s. relations we see exists as an idea that there is not many signs that it's working. very well the hawk is a good word but you are certainly no doubt. i am a man and i do not like cliches or foreign policy in the past and today that was thought out and aimed at creating a favorable environment for russia's development this means we want to have friendly relations with all of our partners but naturally we have and always will defend our national interests but we have always been a card full of others when we did it and we plan to maintain that at a future. in case of a disagreement or a conflict we will always look for a compromise that would be acceptable both to our partners and our country and that what we are not interested in confrontation on the contrary we are interested in cooperation and europe is not a geographical concept because first and foremost it is

a cultural concept that we share the same values with europe of course those are mostly christian values but it goes beyond that even those who consider themselves atheists were raised on christian values with russia is a multi-faith country and what we have many muslims in russia as well we have judaism we have buddhism our fourth traditional religion which in our history our culture and traditions make it easy for us to develop harmonious relations with any country of the world and this is exactly what. we are going to do you. mr putin it looks like there is another storm brewing a stock markets a tumbling and people say the reason we so much the traders themselves can do about it to recall the nurdin market so losing capital for the same is true about trish i recently read an article that said there were government needed a new program to counter the next crisis a program that would be like a good scout and a girl short offering an attractive perspective all week supposedly that would help

win back businesses interest and stop the prices where does your government have such a program and while we're at it since your budget is calculated presuming the price of oil would be a hundred dollars per barrel oil prices are falling you going to revise the budget . because it. you know if we keep talking about the full of the 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 a six to seven percent economic growth figure we managed to deliver that in the pre-crisis years and we will try to do it again as i've said before we will of course try to make our economy more open there are fears however especially in the light of russia's w t o a session that opening it too much might harm it but returning to your metaphor a short skirt looks good on some women while others are better off wearing something else what is the longest skirt. but yes in other clothes russia turned

out to be well equipped for the two thousand and eight two thousand and nine financial crisis what are we dealing with now we are carefully following developments in the global economy and are the world's largest markets. clearly our economy is not sufficiently diversified at the moment but if in fact we say that openly to feel more confident the problem is when western countries markets shrink we sell fewer goods but as the prices of our goods. fall that is taking into account that only forty seven russian industries are represented well on those markets therefore we are dealt a heavy blow because if we had fifty to one hundred industries represented the situation would be more balanced and we would be able to switch to a floating currency race until that happens our national bank will be forced to somewhat regulate rates generally speaking we will only be able to say we are ready for any changes in internal trends after our economy is diversified. mr putin

gasper all has been facing certain problems in western europe a german officers of gas brought have been searched what is your take on a situation like this one of a major companies. but i'm going to it's quite simple i have repeatedly said in public that the sellers are always trying to sell the commodity at a higher price it will produce the buyers always want to get it cheaper or even free which is better still we're not thinking as we think that you will get anything for free naturally without a smaller price yes and that is what they are after and as a result unilateral decisions are taken but a third energy package for example which was adopted retrospectively this is only president this should be considered unacceptable in the modern world but it is don't despite all considerations we think ultimate goal behind this course of action is to bring down the cost of the product and to disrupt the market pricing mechanism which is closely connected with the price for crude in russia. it is when

you set the price in a centralized manner we depend on crude with crude goes up and the natural gas price goes up but the crude drops so does the gas price i don't think this is a farsighted approach to pricing because today the price for crude may be fairly high and tomorrow it may plummet but it looks and gazprom will suffer losses and the buyers on the contrary benefit i don't think this is justifiable guess besides the natural gas market is very specific largely. depends on a concrete supplier if it is a mistake to introduce a third party in the process or as our partner suggested or a third buyer and a third seller this is to say the russian gas that has reached the border with western europe should be first sold to a third party or a legal entity that will further sell it to the consumers but how do you know what this scenario can lead to someone will simply be given an opportunity to pocket additional margin and i'm good at the price will not necessarily go down such that what would be

a good percentage for united version these elections are trying to get a political forecast out of being did you know. i'm not asking for a numbers i just ask you what results you would be satisfied with you know in their united russia has to remain the leading political party in the country and the parliament that would be a good result for your spank you very much for this to at least defeats in forward i believe we are finished with today thank you.

marty's top stories is really a soldier of good luck charlie is now free and back in israel after five years of being held by hamas his releases in exchange for a thousand palestinian prisoners but other captured soldiers families prosecuted why israel's doing nothing to bring them home. serbs in northern kosovo were given an extra day to remove their roadblocks out of the border seized by a kosovo kosovo police last month locals say they won't give in unless the officers leave. and in new york police are under investigation over claims of excessive force story the anti wall street protests some officers are seen as resorting to punching and pray at peaceful rallies.

national teams that fact alone has certainly added to says cost poor record in recent games including the latest disappointing domestic to all draw at home to take them away to playing with a depleted squad for quite some time already plus most of our men were instrumental for their countries in recent international matches is obviously built up by now a momentary relaxation costs us dearly but i hope will make the right conclusions from what happened and these things won't happen again it wasn't the best of starts for says come moscow in the group stages of the u.a.e. for 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 feat in the next match against its wanted ten champions in terror but a late goal by morrow's arata left the army men in last place in group b. tribes and spore on the other hand find themselves at the top of the group after defeating ensor in italy while french outfit little have drawn both of their games

in stand in third place so the top two qualification spots are still up for grabs. drowsing spore will be aiming for nothing less than a victory in moscow in order to increase their group b. lead and following an historic one nil away when it entered milan 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 is i'm sick of the head of this tournament very few people had any doubt that we would be in the 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 that c.f. card has put a lot of hope into the next two games against us says current troubles of spore will play each other again in group b. next match which will take place on the second of the vendor integrity and the sides upcoming tie on choose they should determine both teams aspirations for this european contain costs for a r.t. moscow. we model english premier league leaders manchester city are also facing

selection problems and how you spin a reality in group a this evening mancunian side have taken just one point from two games so far a manager or a bird in one cheney has limited options up front collars to business deal and i cast at the club after allegedly refusing to play against by munich last time i had a mario balotelli is serving the last of the three game european suspension big summer signing sergio aguero is struggling with a growing injury city are behind great leaders by now and napoli and can't afford to drop points against a bitter reality side who suffered two defeats. be out of because they're playful to go very well but for us it is really important that is not the board. where there is important that we are we in this game and that if we win this game may be after the printer there is to come from. munich and naples but after that we care if we win we can win or for the group it's possible we have

a chance at the munch united are also looking to kick start their champions league campaign they have just two points from two games and face remaining in outfit but a little girl r.t. in bucharest star striker wayne rooney is expected to lead a strong side tonight united by third in group c. behind f.c. barzan and benfica if you play each other in back to back matches and that's something sir alex ferguson things could benefit his team. played you. would wait want to do with the board games. so. that we can all the pleasure of is. have to have been born for us for us to train we need to. solve all the problems now in contrast great deal it is real madrid have a hundred percent record and are preparing to use french side leon who could go top themselves with a victory that. isn't going to be worried about keeping that top spot. it's not easy to we every game. the champions league so it will be no great drama

if we don't get a result worktop on maximum points which makes us the best blues team to win the group but first of all we have to qualify and only have two thirds will think about the group. let's go to the tennis now russia's biggest kremlin cup is underway here in moscow with local go to share causing the first upset in the women's draw the twenty five year old muscovite knocked out italian seventy two roberta vinci nextel to do share the night is compulsory now to try to beat another russian again your old enough italian sorry irani also made an early exit at the hands of a stone used to. visit on the rio base the top seed in moscow and sits at the opening matches after receiving a bite of his second round where she will face. the russian seas is a great chance to claim a second title of the season and is happy with her form going into the to one. year so reach two grand slam finals last year but this year was

a very consistent year for me in those that i lost in the grand slams they. played really well throughout the season i didn't really have bad matches throughout the whole season i didn't lose the first or second rounds you know i've been playing deep into the tournament so i had a very consistent year no matter what and i think i am pretty satisfied about it now in the n.f.l. monday night's game saw the new york jets and their three game losing streak they enjoyed a twenty four six victory over miami who lost all five of their opening games pressure was on jets coach rex ryan to end his team's slide while the dolphins were desperate to taste victory for the first time this season and even though the business is enjoyed an early lead with a field goal it soon went horribly wrong. intercepted by darrelle revis who runs a hundred yards here for a touchdown to make it seven three. the dolphins narrow the gap with another go but at the end of the half the jets were fourteen six in front of the mark sanchez

opted to dive into the end zone here for a five yard touchdown on the quarterback then sealed it for the jets when he found santonio holmes he swerved his way up the field for another touchdown so twenty four six the victory for the jets the dolphins are now witnessing five games for the second time in five years and the pressure mounts on their tiny sparano. after the death of indy car driver dan wheldon questions are being asked about the suitability of racing tracks for the sport tributes is still being paid to the thirty three year old from england who died after a fifteen car pileup last vegas motor speedway on sunday it was the first indy race since the track had been reconfigured in two thousand and six it added progressive banking to increase side by side racing but some drivers now believe over trucks it just too dangerous for indy cars. i know how dangerous this cars are and yes it was proved to you know the danger of those vehicles on noble's and i think it really

boils down to the fact that it's why you know i guess if you really look at the big picture in why we run research plates it's so the car stay on the ground and then matter the type of race car if it's off the ground you cannot control it in an accident and those cars are going so fast and get airborne frequently on ovals i would run them on ovals and there's just no need to use cars are fantastic for street circuits road courses. the ovals at those speeds you know you can't control the vehicle when it's off the ground and there's very little zone around the driver and then obviously it's an open cockpit and then you add open wheels i mean you're just creating situations to get the car off the ground at a high rate of speed and you can't control the car when it's off the ground. dan weldon's death was indeed racing's first fatality in five years in the first the last vegas track in its forty year history prompting its own is to defend the safety record. we have engineers in all forms of racing that look at these things

the university nebraska people who are the experts in. in crashes have been here all many occasions and have looked at our facility in the sanctioned bodies who have competed here be at nascar in the corps have all looked at it and they've been very satisfied with the with the. with the construction of the fencing and the safer barriers and we're very proud of our track record in that regard and that brings the end of the sport for the moment and that's it for me also for the rest of the day kate will be here and i want to keep. well. bringing you the latest in science and technology from the realms. of the future covered.
