so important for all sides involved. go through the world charles love germany from one thousand nine hundred to two thousand and five he's now chairman of the board at north stream russia's new gas pipeline under the baltic sea europe mr further why should the e.u. increase its dependence on gazprom or. 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 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. and from all appears from parliamentary or and from 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 the total capacity of fifty five billion cubic me outscored 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 holland's got sunni g.d.s. suez in germany and if e.s.f. winter suddenly like the investors decide to build a third and fourth pipeline that we find that was mine we're not talking about states 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 will and mine 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 gas problem and europe. regulator reprovision one is not the issue. germany and the rest of the nations need gas to sensibly reform that and. russia on the other hand has to sell gas to keep its budget in wonder so

there's a. culture is a good thing now to be happy to see european companies invest into russia and europe in markets open up there was a company that it's a good free market economy does is good for the market truck what do you think of the recent in your raids on gazprom and its partners in europe think about just the all appear 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 a space that written recently switched from export to your old partner europe needs a gas supply to maintain a stable mix of energy sources but it's climatic conditions we want them to get any to norway to get outside but also russia's give us therefore i think opening the market up dinner some companies would be all right some of. the name to do some officials oppose russia whatever it does yeah this is ford's or that's most money i

guess it is so we have to admit that what 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 yet again that is for the could russia switch supply east to china if brussels keeps up its hostility towards the 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 is the use 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 the shipping to asia europe has no such alternative and europe's geopolitical position look only improved if it manages to enter a tiny hard to ship with russia on under the same time grant only recession to

turkey that that would be a sound strategy aimed into the future the rest. yesterday's debate i listened and . did better from guess that if russia does decide to go east could that mean a gas shortfall for europe now doesn't it a snake no we're not happy russia was an exceptionally reliable supplier during soviet times so no one has to worry about that trantor 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 code and it was a good progress in shipping mikko fide 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 market important is that 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 us to go for play 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. have been damaged mind consider this me and my team of other people who rigidly negotiated that deal with our energy suppliers 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 and of course they've since gone the other way and started supporting what i had negotiated on this does not mean bridge technologies like nuclear energy cannot be used until energy efficiency is sufficiently developed that 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 there's i know i know formerly this is a quote my successor in office likes to work of course europe's going to have problems if the euro has problems but there's one thing you can be sure of and if the euro is going to survive as a common currency even it theoretically things turn out differently which i find very appropriate we will still have a united europe it is vital in all pugging 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 own via i do not think that was our situation of the european commission its employees that had to conduct the inspections they had letters 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 a diplomatically speaking not entirely correct various people might 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. and last part of the commission was wrong or the handling of greece has been wrong since it ended which which is a matter kinds 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 a half of the new greek government would have to be nonpartisan uninfluenced by debate provoked by right we don't pander that's on for me i hope the package of aid agreements that european leaders have agreed on is implemented if that's the case

then i think we can start taking care of stabilizing the market. with a great deal of help from greece here for or there is one point i would like to make the country should not be broken down not only does greece need a 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 vesting abroad with pay taxes in their own country instead of looking for investment opportunity or so on was a good us 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 as from it's been they're getting a bad 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 you get forty percent of our export goes to the european union and beyond with your eyes if

those countries are hit by a crisis then so is germany secondly or the lesson we learned in the past and our prospects for the future dictate that germany is not strong enough geo politically 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 in the i'm 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 or theater 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 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 the prospects 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 do not think we should feel bad about other nations get out stronger be they russians chinese brazilians south africans or indians are no it should not concern us because these countries offer us more opportunity to export our products as they develop a vague. but that's only the case if we stay better stay more innovative when we fulfill our agenda of twenty china and sort out our social policies and 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 chain of thinking i wonder if the rest of the e.u. states having understood this a decade later we'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 as 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 certain 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 commandos there 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 as

a firefighter i didn't want to tear your ass so 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 ago waited for hours for a bit i've waited sometimes three hours but i would say it's a francis and then wait 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 most expensive health care system in the world and it's probably valued the least.

also i mean you've said you've got free games the head of the european championships in two thousand and twelve has a team progressing you did look very good tonight as well we're progressing already from the from the beginning it is a real team and there's a reason also some problems to change because it didn't look very good for the lies that quitting gens is the first we had to go through for a full four chances before we had three goals but for voters to be improving yes but you have to have whiteness 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 would you have done over the last few years does your basic is base your squad yeah that definitely. the majority of the players knows what i want a seat a big in the games that simply doesn't that's a border and we can only do better i think still i'm a semi high i mean obviously the likes of a shot in public. can get figureheads if your team i mean how disappointing is it

for you as a head coach but they're not getting a lot of game time in england a moment. played today ninety minutes. i didn't want to tell you this was wrong when it was back because this is important to fit again so we are still timing of have a good in the right loves you can i get a long break until the next year when you play over second normal friendlies i mean which seems you looking to play in my time or if you notice i decided there's a possibility to be played in the if ever were but i don't know what's going to have a day off the result of some nights of a loss for you know tonight against croatia probably one. of you and mr keating. we will see if we can do that exactly. boxing manny pacquiao is convinced he was the winner after the thirty two year old filipino

defended his w.b.i. welterweight title due to a controversial majority decision over mexico's one manuel marquez in las vegas. but it's weird that i want to fight it now it's very clear and you know i blog or most of the hundreds of mark i saw. you said you wanted to leave absolutely no doubt however the audience has a doubt do you think that you really love no doubt this time around that you beat marcus but we had our share of that market is that if you're born it is good bye there but you know i won the fight. you know the dodgers. well meanwhile there was relief for backyards fans in manila after the outcome was identical to the pairs last meeting in two thousand and eight despite a strong finish from thirty eight year old mexican law two of the three judges now really ruled in the filipinos favor while the third couldn't separate the two after the final round both fighters adopted a victory pose but got the nuance to the fury of the sellout crowd and marcus who

stormed out of the ring but in the philippines victory was all that mattered. the fight was equal but marcus watched a minute by much used to see money much punching so much that is why i am surprised that you won but i am happy. and finally despite mixed fortunes at this year's world championships jamaica is you saying bolt has been named as male athlete of the year for the search by the international affairs expectoration well despite being the overwhelming favorite both was eliminated from the one hundred meters in diameter for full start however he cruised to gold in the two hundred meters and there's i helped to make a set a world record in the field by one hundred meters really like. i mean it was in the best season but i promise next year will be better and definitely done before. taking me to see is not really appreciate everybody for coming out and so. tall people in t.v. . and i want to make sense thanks for everything. and on the women's side the
