why it's so important for all sides to be involved. go through the was chancellor of germany from one nine hundred ninety eight to two thousand and five he's now chairman of the board at nordstrom's russia's new gas pipeline under the baltic sea europe mr further why should the e.u. increase its dependence on gazprom. opinion. we're not talking about russia's dependence we're talking about cooperation between russia on the one side and the european union on the other in the energy sector stream is viewed as a priority project both by russia and the oil because it's been part of europe's energy networks since two thousand and six not recognized by the european parliament and the e.u. council of energy with its debts which wasn't from our patient problem meant. that the energy minister to nordstrom pipelines have already been laid what top of the

third one will be added and what will be its capacity we haven't yet i don't know that we currently have at least two pipelines with a total capacity of fifty five billion cubic me article big me the question of whether a third or even like climate living or that should be answered by european stock holders of as you know we have gazprom in the order and hollins got sunni france's g.d.s. suez in germany and the s.f. winter certainly like to the investors decide to build a third and fourth pipeline through a privately finals mine we're not talking about things like that then it could be done i do not know whether they will make such a decision as it was not part of my working mind of. brussels wants all russian energy companies not just gazprom to be allowed to export gas to europe what are the implications of that for gazprom and europe as. regulator reprovision one is not the issue. and the rest of the equation is need gas to sensibly reform that and . russia on the other hand has to sell gas to keep its budget and so there's

a. and got a culture is a good thing now to be happy to see european companies invest into russia and european markets open up there wasn't a company that it's a good free market economy does is good for the market truck what do you think of the recent you raids on gazprom and its partners in europe think about just your p.r. gasper i think europeans need gas to feel as has many years is a dog with a political uncertainty in north africa also good to have a stable partner that you can rely on for russia is one of this you know better than anyone else for it is less that written recently switched from export to your old pop europe needs a gas supply to maintain a stable mix of energy sources but it's climatic conditions we want them to get any norway's going outside but also russia's gas and therefore i think opening the market up different companies would be a wiser and of course a shorter name to do some e.u. officials oppose russia whatever it does get us is for though that's most money i

guess it is so we have to admit that or i hope we will get over it it's understandable and says the european union needs russia geopolitically but the reverse is also true it's not a question but with the time has come to start cooperating and stop looking back at an ideological difference here to get that misrata could russia switch supply east to china if brussels keeps up its hostility towards their listeners it towards your level minds of which is in a situation where it could ship gas to china and all of asia and europe and i hope russia never has to make a choice of the russian government is evidently pro european but europe cannot keep pushing russia away it hurts russians pride about me and we have to keep in mind that while russia has the alternative of shipping to asia europe has no such alternative and europe's geopolitical position not only improved if it manages to enter a tiny heart a ship with russia one under the same time grant only

a recession to turkey and that would be a sound strategy aimed into the future the rest. yesterday's debate unless and. did better from guess that if russia does decide to go east could that mean a gas shortfall for europe now does vet a snake no not happen russia was an exceptionally reliable supplier during soviet times so no one has to worry about that juncture i will say again that europe on our get is incredibly important for russia to keep it logic balance among other things therefore we're not talking about the kind of a code and it's a good progress in shipping liquefied natural gas. makes europe less dependent on pipelines can that affect this project and. i don't think it would have a negative effect on the project as europe's liquefied gas market is quite limited on the move because there's nowhere to sell it in germany or poland has a developing a market important it's in no way a danger for us and that's not the reason i'm criticizing is the indication that

there are alternative sources of the low spot prices on gas their g.p.s. unit support deals can be of no more gain than long term supply agreements in a short run they do not offer stability for think of for trigger because in the wake of the fukushima disaster germany is closing all its nuclear power plants do you support that and how will it change germany's energy mix. ability i made mine consider this me and my team are the people who would rigidly negotiated that deal with our energy suppliers that we had agreed to make a sensible exit out of nuclear strategy that was followed by a short period when the federal government thought our agreement should be overturned but at the end of quote they've since gone the other way and started supporting what i had negotiated on this does not mean a bridge technologies like nuclear energy cannot be used until energy efficiency is sufficiently developed but we need gas as an interim energy source for the sake of energy security that's the reason we need to buy gas from new york from other cultures but primarily from russia and the reason we need to build

a gas power station. morse. with this debt crisis mr sarkozy says no hero no europe surely your will survive without the euro so on that. and a former english is a quote my successor in office who actually works of course europe is going to have problems if the euro has problems but there's one thing you can be sure of at the end of the euro is going to survive as a common currency there even it theoretically things turn out differently which i find very approachable you think we will still have a united europe it is vital in or plug you would chancellor when greece cooked its books to join the euro should you have stopped athens from joining the single currency. on those it towards your invalid i do not think that was our situation of the european commission its employees that had to conduct inspections they had let us know that we could take the responsibility for greece's e.u. a session on ourselves and it was a purely preparatory mission conducted by the european commission and the national

governments if we had made the decision to take greece in we could not claim without having the firm proof that the information we got then was on diplomatically speaking not entirely correct or give people much keep in mind that the european parliament voted in favor of greece's membership almost unanimously including the conservatives who are now trying to distance themselves from that decision sometimes in politics you don't want to believe things that he wants condoned or actually happening. for unless either the commission was wrong or the handling of greece has been wrong since it ended which which is it ends in. it's pointless to talk about how things were in the past we're talking about the future i hope we manage to keep greece in the euro zone so that's one of the new greek government would have to be nonpartizan uninfluenced by debates provoked by right when under threat on funding i hope the package of aid agreements that european leaders have agreed on is implement package if that's the case then i

think we can start taking care of stabilizing my lucky. with a great deal of help from greece are here for or there is one point i would like to make the country should not be broken down not only does greece need budget discipline which is of course trivial should what greece needs are investments and invest it would be good to see wealthy greek citizens who are currently resting abroad with pay taxes in their own country instead of looking for investment opportunity or so on was a good enough thought to bring is there a red line beyond which german thursday we're not going to bail out southern europe anymore or does germany have a historic debt to europe has from its been digging about debt i'm not against discussing a red line the problem is that if you start to talk about a red line then you'd eventually have to correct it in germany's interested both politically and economically in a functioning europe that have economic interest is easily explainable forty percent of our export goes to the european union and beyond it is if those

countries are hit by a crisis then so is germany your secondly or the lesson we learned in the past and our prospects for the future dictates that germany is not strong enough geopolitical to play a significant role in a game where the u.s. is one superpower and an asian leader in this case china is the other new european state and only a united europe can take on a role like that if that's why germany is interested in a night in the us that is not just because of the past with you but for the sake of our citizens future of that conference a lot of being to small question many germans many people many finns are angry at having to pay. of a role that's enough for it see and i can understand that but i have to explain it very consistently to the current generation of political leaders that it's within our own interests to maintain stability in other countries as germany is a nation that relies hugely on x. here if markets around us crumble it harms us we have to explain to our people the

new generation that the prospect for long lasting. peace allies in europe. when you serve the german chancellor there was no question of receiving financial aid from china or russia directly or indirectly through the i.m.f. do you regret that's happening potentially and what would be the implications if think it doesn't have a dollar do not think we should feel bad about other nations get out stronger be they russians chinese brazilians south africans or indians are it should not concern us because these countries offer us more opportunity to export our products as they develop a vehicle. but that's only the case if we stay back to stay more innovative when we fulfill our agenda of twenty and sort out our social policies in germany is the only country that understood back in two thousand and three that for an aging country to maintain prosperity as it must provide for change i think i wonder if the rest of the e.u. states having understood this a decade later i'll manage to take the action needed to maintain prosperity eyes on

the other hand we have an understanding that an aging society with a decreasing number of people who are deployed has problems over that so we will be able to we started taking care of our problems in time the rest will aggressively be forced to take on harder mission this goes for everyone not just the same old bus this but if they've been ignored in the house rhoda chairman of the board for the north stream gas pipeline thank you for speaking with l.t. . from los angeles to chicago to birmingham twenty trauma centers have closed since two thousand severe problem is not enough inpatient beds not enough earth emergency department beds and not enough nurses to man does that to take care of all the people who are here the only real health care system that we have in the city of los angeles is the los angeles fire department in fact when i started my venture is

a firefighter i didn't want to be a mask i started out going to just do fire fighting it's about eighty two percent of what we do the fire department is medical i've had to rescue a couple weeks i waited four hours for a bit i've waited sometimes three hours but i was it's a it's a francis and we went for four hours and fifty minutes staring at a wall of patients and we have a federal law that mandates that you can't turn no one away who seeks care in an emergency room. we have. the world and it's probably the least. wealthy british.

what's really happening to the global economy. couldn't take three. three. three. three. three. three. three. weeks. to discuss the differences.

hello welcome to the sports update this sunday afternoon here in moscow

a few minutes of stood. down and our local boy greg chalmers survives a fine late run by tiger woods in a working last round to clinch his second australian open. downs relief in manila celebrate his money pacquiao retains his double rio welterweight title not that narrow point victory of a one mile markers in las vegas. the first to golf and local man greg chalmers survived a tiger woods fight back in a thrilling final round two in his second australian open by a single shot while woods finished third behind john senden despite a fine round of sixty seven well after a disappointing third round of seventy five that saw woods drop to join dates for mark while number one came roaring back as close to clinching his first win in two years adding an eagle and five birdies in a five on the par round but that wasn't quite enough to win as australian sharma's enjoyed a confident informant's finishing with three straight odds for a final round sixty nine however the thirty eight year old was forced to watch

nervously overnight need to send and went close with a thirty five foot birdie putt in the eighteenth which would have taken it into a playoff but his efforts just miss to give an emotional charm a second to stray and open title in three years. i got the short straw i got the really hard one to travel with my wife got me out you're all back in dallas starting school but i got my four year old boy. it be great if everyone could be here but. i'm not because it's gross. football now and frank lampard says desire was the major factor as the midfielder celebrated claiming the england captain's armband by scoring his side second half winner in their one zero victory over world and european champions spain it was england's first victory over spain to ten years and the first time the three lions have beaten the reigning world champions since one thousand nine hundred eighty when they defeated argentina won

by a lot of hard lead his country in the absence of the rest of john terry and headed in close range in the forty ninth minute darren bent was with spain dominated possession for long periods almost equalized lay time patience and substitute sex travel gas waste to the charts in the resilience he held on to play tokens for the scene when. it was difficult i didn't know my spine but we think we have to understand this morning it's a great time for them free we defended their commitment not to go on the grass over the long run because. we by no means cared whether so we know that they were no protective. but we're very proud i'm very proud to leave to take me to go to go i'm very proud of that before the fact that you try and speak out on this and i think for one minute we can celebrate the world champions starting with football and with their euro two thousand and twelve preparations now well under way coach take out the car says russia are improving with every game they play during one one in a friendly with greece in athens on friday night as the head coach spoke with

artie's which of the port fleet. i think it's a really good test for us today i mean you probably learn a lot from say as much the very comfortable very reasonable you know a lot of said it would take to we pointed out of the team we can play the part in the game what we did to get a very physical team. for the future i mean how impressed we i mean had a few debits and some in. the press we could see that they were a part of the team and as always important they were not alone there are no words to good result so that where i was pleased with i've seen the first game is always difficult but i mean i am also i mean you've said you've got free game said of the european championships in two thousand and twelve has a team progressing you did look very good tonight we're progressing already from the from the beginning it is a real team and there's a reason i have also some problems to change because the team looks very good

football wise and creating chances the first three four chances for two or three goals of voters to be improving yes but if you have how you have items as a coach do you have a sample scored because i mean very few coaches around europe can call on such a few group of players which you have done over the last few years does your basic is base your squad yeah definitely. the majority of the players knows what i want is see the big in the games that simple that's important and we can only do better i think still the semi high i mean obviously the likes of a shot in. kind of get figureheads if your team i mean how disappointing is it for years ahead coach but they're not getting a lot of game time in the moment that's the reason that only played today ninety minutes as good i didn't want to take a risk was wrong when i was back because it is important that you become fit and

sharp again well we are still time enough to bring everybody in the right loves you cannot go. break until the next year when you'll play on the second normal friendlies i mean which seems you're looking to play in my time and if you notice i decided there's a possibility. but i don't know what's going to happen after a result. of a loss for you know tonight against croatia so probably one. of you and mr hitting . it was a very gradual jigsaw we will see if we can do that exactly. to boxing now and there was relief for fans in the aftermath of packing i defended his w b a welterweight title in a controversial majority decision over mexico's one manuel marquez in las vegas the outcome was identical to the pairs last meeting in two thousand and eight despite a strong finish from marquez two of the three judges ruled in paki as favor or the third could not separate the pair after the end of the final round both fighters

adopted a victory pose the pack out got the nod to the funeral of the sellout crowd and marcus who stormed out of the ring but back in his native philippines victory was all that matters. moving on to formula one and red ball sebastian vettel will start in pole position for this sunday's abu dhabi grand prix after producing a stunning final lap in qualifying to once again deny mclaren's lewis hamilton mclaren how does dominated every practice session at a gas marina but like so many times this season vettel found some extra pace when it counted to claim his twenty ninth we're told he also equalled nigel mansell all time record of fourteen for position in a season set in one nine hundred ninety two but darren stenson button will start third on the grid ahead of records my brother and on their lawns i actually thought it across his troubles. i was not so happy with my first run in q three but the second run much happier especially the first two sectors and with that i was buying

myself a little bit of a cushion in the last sector which was a bit trickier towards the end of the of the evening so but all in all enough just enough to to to jump ahead of lewis. and it's now and world number four roger federer will play in this sunday's paris masters finals for the first time in his career after a comprehensive rant over thomasz verdict the search year old wrapped up an impressive six four six three victory in just a few want to win it back facing a single breakpoint it's the first time the sixteen time grand slam winner has gone through to the masters event since shanghai last october on friday federer became only the seventh man in history to support the eight hundred career when mark on the market was going to find that. there was very pleased that were played today i thought was it was very good match i think he did actually well to to hang with me because i did have more chances to maybe even the extended lead but from the start

i was able to take control and there really give it give it away so it was i'm very happy with my bunch of all the second semifinal also the two thousand and eight champion joe wilfried somewhere correct his place was after a tough three set win over john isner the unseeded american won the first set six three but tsonga charged up by the home crowd to get back into contention following two sets seven six seven six after saving stream much points in the final set so low so i got when i faced better in the final taking best six careening this year for the switchback coming out on top three times and the frenchman twice i found let's stay in france where russian weightlifters one gold and silver medals in the one hundred five kilogram category at the world championships at disneyland in paris this year's european champion kathy what i have lifted a combined total of four hundred thirty kilograms snatched clean and jerk the top

place on the podium. to meet beijing silver medalist if you knock off just two things behind it's four hundred twenty eight the search place finisher from ukraine is a full eighteen from the ground. the final say and convincing one to finish the russians in hundred kilogram division stablished domination belong to one picks. meanwhile the international association of athletics federations has named the twenty eleven athletes of the year at the annual awards ceremony in monte carlo drake as you say in bolt go to the all that on the men's side for the first time the spinner is recognized for attaining the two hundred meter individual world title along with helping his country's ready by one hundred meters relay so whatever coach pace. it was in the best season but i promise next year will be better and definitely done before it above can be true of season and i really appreciate everybody for coming out and supporting the top people in t.v.
