we'll. remind you the latest in science and technology from the realms. we've done to the future of coverage. here at art's me live from moscow at four thirty pm these are our top stories over a thousand palestinian prisoners in exchange for one israeli soldier gilad shalit returned home after a massive media campaign but other israelis who had family members missing for years ask what about them. law and disorder new york police officers could face punishment for harsh tactics used against anti-corporate campaigners on wall street. and move or be moved the deadline approaches for kosovo's serbs to leave

their border barricades after a demand by nato or protesters out to stand firm. pick somebody near putin's given his first major interview since confirming he's running for president again he's outlined to russian t.v. networks why he wants to return to the kremlin and his vision of the country's course if you get such a. 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 very same with why are you returning to the kremlin it's clear yeah 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 his 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 that would once i take up

a job i do my best to complete it or at least to lose muscle results when there are people who criticize me and then me to remediate of 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 want to present their platform and what's more important it will 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 your deals 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 and this includes 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 no return was it was just recently that france introduced amendments 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 it's these pillars of stability there including in politics are that play 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 with the whole country goes to the polls and we need our peoples comb 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 process is maybe ruled back this is definitely not going to happen because i can't imagine russia developing without democratic institution b.c. this is exactly what i intend to work out 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 yourself that you know you've got problems you've recently visited china and as many notice it was your first visit ruled since you announced you were going to run in the election does that mean china is becoming russia's priority international partner right now because i did it is a coincidence look at it if you look at the government schedule it is not a classified document 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 that 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 more than one occasion to those who tried to scare me with the chinese threats in most cases it was our partners in 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 but 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 five points of contact i'm sure will continue to happen in the future or hidden within the. us for global leadership you recently wrote an article for the at least your 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 everyone remembers you calling your downfall of the soviet union the last century that is geopolitical tragedy in this respect what would you say to those who see in your words some sort of an imperial condition as to recreate and you

empire will imperiously i think that well you don't need to be an expert to realize that if we combine our country's attentions in technology infrastructure transports 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 potentialities 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 one operation procedures this will make us more transparent to our external 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 passes more decisions binding on

the member states than the supreme soviet of the soviet union ever passed with the soviet republics and look at america and 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 imperial ambitions i can tell these critics who. by the way they don't seem to be very conscientious or scrupulous you know was mind your own business go combat the climbing inflation and the growing national debt and even obesity do something useful. this pizza in western countries did not react strongly to your decision to run for president at the upcoming elections he said it was rush's internal affair and as angela merkel put it they were ready to work with any legitimate the elected president you must understand however that politically western states consider you all how do you feel about that what is going to happen to the reset of russian if u.s.

relations which exists as an idea but there's not many signs that it's working. very well the hawk is a good word but you're certainly no dove i am a man and i do not like cliches our foreign policy in the past and today if 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 regard full of others when we did it and we plan to maintain that in the future and 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 that we are not interested in confrontation on the contrary we are interested in cooperation and a durable is not a geographical concept it is first and foremost it is a cultural concept 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 contract with we have many muslims in russia as well we have judaism we have buddhism our fourth traditional religion 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 it. mr putin it looks like there is another storm brewing live stock markets are tumbling and people say the reason we so much that trade is themselves going to do it battle to recall emerging markets so losing capital for the same is true back fresh air i recently read an article that said there were government needed a new program to counter the next crisis the true grit would be like a good scout and the girl short and offering an attractive perspective all week supposedly that would help win back businesses interest and stop the crisis where does your government have such

a program and while we're at it it's sincere budget is calculated presuming the price of oil would be at least two hundred dollars per barrel prices are falling three avoids the budget it's not a good fit as at least if you know if we keep talking about the fall 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 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 especially in the case that opening up 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 along get scared. but yes other clothes russia turned out to be well

approved for the two thousand and eight two thousand and nine financial crisis what are we dealing with now we're carefully following developments in the global economy to know the world's largest markets because clearly our economy is not sufficiently diversified that the moment we say that openly to feel more confident the problem is when western countries markets shrink we sell fewer goods and the prices of our wood. fool 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 and we will only be able to say we are ready for any changes in internal trends after our economy is diversified what you were which was that with kasparov has been facing certain problems in western europe the german offices of gas brawled have been searched what is your take on

a situation like this around one of our nature companies. it's quite simple i have repeatedly said in public that the sellers are always trying to sell the commodity at a higher prices or because the buyers always want to get it cheaper or even free which is better still we're not thinking as we think that you won't get anything for free naturally without a smaller price yes but and that is not they are after it and as a result unilateral decisions are taken and the third energy package for example which was adopted retrospectively this is only preseason for us and feel it should be considered unacceptable in the modern world but it is done despite all considerations we think an 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 of crude in russia. it is we who set the price in a centralized manner we depend on crude and with the group goes out and the natural

gas price goes up. so does the gas prices but 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 and gazprom will suffer losses and the pirates on the contrary benefit i don't think this is justifiable besides the natural gas market is very specific it's largely. depends on a concrete supplier that it is a mistake to introduce a third party in the process or as our partner suggested a third plier and a third seller this is to say that the russian gas that has reached the border with western europe should be first sold to the third party or a legal entity that will further sell it to the consumers but if 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 to explore with such an event what would be a good percentage for united version these elections are trying to get a political forecast out of me you know. i'm not asking for any numbers i just ask

you what results you would be satisfied with their united russia has to remain the leading political party in the country and the parliament that would be a good result always thank you very much for this too mr putin for which i believe we are finished for today thank you. wealthy british soil some time to rise from.

i don't want that is called ahead of the big evening of champions league football is what's coming up. soldiering on injury hit moscow for pads and group leaders tribes on school day in the champions league. log manchester test is english media city and you know i see that you see that their european counties back on track to sluggish starts. and security issues the debate over the safety of indy car racing intensifies tom to the tragic death and. not status. first i have an educated preparing to host. in the champions league this tuesday night and lots of outside has guessed the winning group and has severe injury problems after a low resting season unbeaten. that's

a real power over the all the men believe they still have the players to go revival three points. court. says come moscow are one of the favorites to win the russian premier league but there are cheap mints 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. the latest player to join the sick list also sidelined their japanese midfielder catesby honda defenders and excited by seen. about him and forward sykora lisa due to the team's domestic success and most of the players became leaders in their respective 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 over what he'd been playing with it depleted squad for quite some time already plus most of our men were instrumental for their countries in recent international much is.

obviously built up one now a momentary relaxation costs us dearly but i hope it will make the right conclusions from what happened and the things one happened again it wasn't the best of starts for says come let's go in the group stages of the u.a.e. but champions league are the most wise displayed true strength of character coming back from two goals against little to salvage a draw and says almost managed to repeat that feeds in the next match against its one to ten champions in terror but a late goal by morrow's arata left the army men in last place in group b. tribes and who are on the other hand find themselves at the top of the group after defeating answer in italy while french outfit little have drawn both of their games in stand in third place so that's all to call it a geisha sports are still up for grabs. drugs and war will be aiming for nothing less than a dictator in moscow in order to increase their lead and following in historic one the way 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 resumes work at the end of this journey with very 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 looking forward to a positive result both in moscow under home we understand that serious car has put a lot of hope into the next two games against us says current troubles for weekly childer again in group the next match which will take place on the second of november in turkey and the sides are coming to light and choose they should determine both teams aspirations for this european campaign remark cost r.t. moscow. well meanwhile english premier league leaders manchester city also faced selection problems as they get ready to host their out in group a man kenyan sides are taking just one point from two games so far and manager about them on cheney has limited options up front cost is still a virtual outcast at the club after allegedly refusing to come off the bad should play against by munich previous time. the telly is serving to last

a three time european suspension and make some signing said he is struggling with a groin injury since we're all third behind great leaders by an ans napoli and can't afford to drop points against a bit outside we've suffered two defeats. be out of because they are paid for by very well but for us it is a really important thing that is not important from a player where i was not where. we had this game and i think that if we win this game. after that i know the rest will come from. but after i think that we care if we know we can win also give you a sponsor we have a chance at a. well meanwhile cross city rivals manchester united are also looking to kick. start their champions league campaign the three time european champions just two points from two games and face remaining in our bottle galati in bucharest star striker wayne rooney expected to leave the strong side this tuesday night united

are third in group c. behind bars. who play each other in back to back matches which is something so alex ferguson thinks could benefit his team. played your. good way when trying to win the board games. so. there will be a lot of the pleasure of his. so you think it is for us to train and it really. is all the problems. for a group d.v.d. israel madrid have a one hundred percent record and are preparing to host french side legal with absolves could go top with a victory but coach there's a green it wasn't until he worried about keeping top spot. it's not easy to win every game in the champions league shows will be no great drama if we don't get a winning result on match and points which makes us the best place team to win to group but first of all we have to qualify and only have to battle think about what if the group. where russian champions since and petersburg would be without captain

dangerous these cars are and yes he was proof to you know the danger of those vehicles on opiates and i think it really boils down to the fact that it's right you know i guess if you really look at the big picture in why we run restrictor plates it's a car stay on the ground and then matter the type of racecar it's off the ground you cannot control it in an accident to knows cars are going so fast and get airborne frequently on ovals bit up i would run a mono is there just no need to those cars are fantastic for street circuits road courses. the old days that those speeds you know you can't control the vehicle when it's off the ground and there's very little troubles on 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. death was indeed racing first vitality in five years on the first of the las vegas track in its history prompting its own is to defend the safety record we have engineers

in in all forms of racing that look at these things so the university of nebraska people who are the experts in. in crashes have been here on many occasions and have looked at our facility in the sanctioned bodies of competing for your be at nascar indy car 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. finally to golf and being top of the world is no guarantee against the chances as the young going to party all conquering that he's saying has it mrs she's feeling the stress. never tournament on a high one and a time one thing became the youngest ever play at a male or female to win five majors and she lifted the british open trophy in july at the tender age of just twenty two that's despite the speech the taiwanese are still anxiously as the conscious and and cried as the inaugural l.p.g.
