lay down their arms. spain in those spotlight as the next possible victim of the spiraling e.u. crisis as its borrowing costs and unemployment rates soar people are skeptical whether the outcome of the upcoming parliamentary election will bring salvation. the leaders of russia belarus and cosmic stand taking their first steps toward creating a united economic bloc after signing agreements on deeper integration friday to find more about the future plans were being seen as an alternative to the e.u. archie envoys a russian of radio spoke with victor conte stanko who's been appointed to head the eurasian commission a body that's preceding the new block. if the place is i say west of the mysteries so the presidents have signed the declaration on eurasian economic integration you have been a non asleep who does they had of the regime economic commission i don't know if that would be appropriate to congratulate you but at least i think i can address

you as the head of the commission we all know that integration causes this work better when the world economy is growing but the the world economy is on the verge of recession today and neither washington or velo are snork as i mean to its effects why is it so important to launch the common economic space to date. so those that are less because their initial quite often it's not up to you to choose when to do certain things in fact you can always find certain factors you either internal or external government prevent you from doing something big positive and serious i think that everything that this next level of integration involves is a logical continuation of a consistent on purpose for lefferts a part of the leaders of a tree country it's imagine the crisis are so negative because of taking place around or even with him our country as a fact i would even say that the situation for them motivates us to work on integration for the simple reason that sometimes people say that we are moving bollinger's between russia and kazakhstan that russia will reduce so that this

common market will help us survive in these difficult times that it is true look at the thoughts of all of you with you by setting up this common space we are all getting stronger and now we can play more sure of the dog market when you have a crisis outside where it is much easier and better to avoid its neighbors or to turn risks and torture at least by sticking together this way our countries can share the risks between the three of them and give additional opportunities for those the time is always right it's just that the people who make these decisions and who implemented them should realize what time they live in go with all the things. the bills. integration between russia kazakstan and galleries is clearly following the european model in other words economic integration that's followed by political questions that europe is facing a very serious crisis today both politically and economically some of them say that the us on the verge of collapse what makes this all in a more stable and how can we make sure we don't end up having his same problems.

but i would have thought. you were right in that in terms of scale and depth of integration european union is perhaps the only alliance that can compare to what is emerging between our three countries today actually it's pretty good that they were opinion has moved further and deeper in its information on the union between russia kazakhstan and belarus it gives us plenty of opportunity to evaluate the experience of our partners assess the risks such an integration process make holes and study ways to cut these risks i propose the e.u. is the main trade an economic partner for russia kazakhstan and belarus the european union is going through hard times at the moment there are obvious lessons to be learnt i am sure that without the e.u. without the eurozone the impact of the two thousand and eight melt a lot of be much more devastating for the entire planet for russia kazakhstan and then arose the current situation where the eurozone is facing internal economic problems has helped us to identify proper ways to integrate and accordingly our

budget financial and monetary policy is in this way will be able to avoid piling up internal risks and generally situations like this one the crisis has underlined one simple thing if you go so far as creating a single currency union you must exercise tight control of the budget monetary and tax policies and national levels if this is not the case then some regions of the rose on would be exposed to pose as a similar to what's happening today in greece italy and spain which was about what . in your view what impact will the newly established common economic space have on the global economy and. in particular on europe's china's economy as well as on other asian guy with very dear. i think the formation of the eurasian economic union will on the one hand allow us eld a strong regional organization with a strong regional economy sufficiently supported by all sorts of state a resource in us ranging from currencies to natural resources that would exert

significant influence on the dialogue between these new regional formations in order to define track for the world for the development and this respect i think that everything the presidents have now outlined in terms of direction for further development will by all means facilitate stable and sustainable development in our three countries but not only that considering our scale on weight it will also give us some additional strength in the global process because this will definitely benefit everyone if it's clear that our three countries come out to find the entire global situation we are not powerful enough to take on such a mission but we can definitely develop a more profound than articulated position in ways that were. played with it but these following almost twenty years of deliberations russia is finally about to join probably however regional economic unions often can't defend themselves off from the rest of the world through protective measures want a common economic space to have an impediment to russia's doubly at your expression you know that the more they will that would be with them is to be to be precise the

run up to russia's w t o accession took eighteen and twenty years and there was a period when almost i mean a factor could become an excuse for freezing the process for an extended period of time it was largely politically motivated rather than prompted by and substantial economic considerations as far as present day realities are concerned i see no contradiction between the formation of the eurasian economic union and russia's w t o accession looks quite on the contrary there is a synergy here as a matter of fact our entire framework or integration is aligned with w t o rules it doesn't matter about none of us are w.t. on. member so far nevertheless the entire legal framework of the eurasian economic union has been harmonized w.-t. all provisions of the or asian economic union's objective is not only to develop a coherent legal framework within itself but also to have it harmonized with those of our main trade partners such as the european union and so on the purpose is to facilitate our economic outreach into other markets as well as to ensure greater

efficiency and profitability of such efforts therefore we have been highly problematic in. shares religiousness this one is more of a political question as we all know the west or the foreign countries are somewhat alarmed by this process they say the soviet union is back they say it's moscow's imperial ambitions all over again especially as as the russia will be appointed head of the commission and the headquarters there will be in moscow how do you respond to these criticisms which is that. most of all of it. there is no way you can restore what can't be restored the soviet union was not just an economic system and something much bigger than that it was a serious political system based on a lot of things like the command and control economy the one party system and so on i won't give you the whole list none of these things can be restored and even though most of us were born and raised in the us or perhaps even all some of our success to the fact that we lived in the soviet union the world has changed we're

living in an open world today we're working in open economies in our three countries or not isolating ourselves from other economies we would like to be part of the general global economic trends and we also want to be stronger and more reliable as partners the best way to reassure our partners is to joint projects else it is important to make all the positive projects that we have in your asian integration open source skeptical partners who say it's a day that this is a rant carnation of the soviet union open and transparent is the best response to our skeptical opponents there was kaiser it's news that everybody's have other go. answer is expressed interest in joining the union. as you know there is the eurasian economic community comprised of five nations apart from russia to roost in kazakhstan it also includes to take a stand on kurdistan when the decision was taken several years ago or five years ago to be precise to scale up and to gratian we went for a multi level and multi-speed type of integration but points all of those five

countries realize the tree of them are fit to move on to the next stage that is why a trio somehow to reach a more advanced level within the relation economic community basically into second tier it was agreed upon reaching this new level the trio will not forget about the remaining two members of the eurasian economic community which are now candidates which could follow suit and move on to this new level of integration with a list of candidates is not limited to these two countries the eurasian economic community has a number of associated partners who take an active part in the work of this community so to sum up we see interest from other countries at least from the former soviet republics. there was the shared i would like to go back to the situation in europe i would call it financial separatism as they're all fighting for their sovereignty now perviously their work into germany european union now they say they don't want to pay for all countries that i would like to ask the

question the gardella of so they are taking priority of the customs syria they've joined the regime integration persons but their real difference in our nation's economic performance is striking do a have sufficient gary to use that russian kazakstan will never have to take up the burden and pay for belarus that we will not have to asia loans to them or cut the gas prices it's just an example of course there's the bed yet. they have recently started suggesting in europe that their early regulation policies as of either euro zone that supposedly lack the sufficient instruments for coordinating the member states and school of monetary policies after all as we see in hindsight bureau zones regulations have allowed the member states individual rights to range far from their common commitments which enable some of the member states to take decisions that all member states now have to pay for including european union's main donor countries the bottom line for russia is not we should be aware and avoid such mistakes if we aspire to take our integration as far as

a monetary union and so on and we definitely need to have an understanding of how we are to coordinate or even integrate our monetary and fiscal policies so as to prevent the emergence of vulnerabilities of the kind that we are currently witnessing in europe i mean it would be a source of as you're wrong i'm sure they'd like you. to.

the be. russia.

will stop.

fresh outburst of heavy handed u.s. policing against demonstrators officers pepper spray students at a california university the young people peacefully protesting against social inequality in tuition hikes were assaulted by riot police after refusing to remove their tents. in syria the deadline set by the arab league for the country's authorities to and the violence expires saturday but fresh clashes claimed a dozen more lives this is russia says the bloodshed will only end if both sides lay down there are. spain in the spotlight as the next possible victim of the spiraling crisis as its powering costs and unemployment rates soar people are

skeptical of whether the outcome of the upcoming parliamentary election will bring salvation. and kate's up next with all the latest from the world of sports stay with us here on r.t. . thank you that's i'm curious what's coming up on a busy saturday afternoon a sports small margins test as gold keeping a blog up again contravene victory while finito held by anonymous he is the second stage of the russian probably gets underway saturday it's the bottom eight. while i'm not putting the feet of president sepp blatter apologizes for his comments about racism in football but refuses to stand down. and i spot the outlands come back to me if he has in moscow region don't be thriller look a h.l. . first book or where i'm can have come from behind so into one as nine nine ball

got in a feisty relegation round match and the russian premier league the eight teams who finished in the bottom half of the table at the end of the regular season have now started their caucus who avoid relegation to the last two side sets to go down in this extended season well in the first of three matches this after their colleagues on the ballots are all open for the home side of the seven minutes. looking each side of the influence will all disappear to lay the same to off two goals in a minute long talking to you and me from the i'm calm in front of all this time very volatile sort of straight red is why i've minutes to go and i'm can't miss the penalty it's still running so he wants the record kicked off his hands to greet us so that's all still in the middle there was no dark side and spot up no trick later . well meanwhile on saturday i missed a penalty and in goal keeping howler course they've got daley if they lost to want to remain in moscow but its size and finish the regular season in the top eight and

we're now in the other mini reaching the side who wins the title and european places on the side of that would be in the courtroom on our butts to start where level just before the. right after being awarded a penalty. and salary being booked for the foul and say give me a stepped up to school his twenty third goal of the season. he bent have another chance from the spot just before the hour nonprofit k c q on the went down in the area but after scoring the stockade he had to reset it for encroachments and this time to be a blasted over and soon after the situation went from bad to worse because it's people putting a guy who are allowed under the sons of sports shot to squirm past him taste guard want rubin to know is how it finished. well in the other game leaders in each were held to a goalless draw by ten one she thanked the last of its rank cosponsored petersburg side they were missing best darts striker alexander because of golf and couldn't

find a breakthrough in a game that saw eleven yellow cards and two of those were handed out within a minute he and she's from about the super tuesday his marching orders attendance left to meet three cross to face guy at the top. while another football you speak of presence that blatter says he's sorry his comments about racism in football have caused offense but he won't resign there this week in a t.v. into these the seventy five year old appeared to say there was no racism in football and that any on field racial abuse can be settled with one hundred feet from it's not the end of a match last another place those comments were misunderstood and were made in relation to foul play and foul language and also says he's committed to fighting racism and won't step down. i'm sorry and that is great that my statements earlier this week have resulted in an unfortunate situation and stay convinced

a mention. i am committed to. the fight against racists and i have no doubt that some of the same why i should go to the signing when you are facing the problem you have to solve the problem and to go out and to leave the organization these did this would be unfair it would be totally unfair and it is not compatible be my fighting spirit my character my energy my commitment my personal commitment to football. meanwhile football managers in england have been reacting to this comments with q.p.r. boss neil warnock suggesting the only way that might force the president is a lot players with boycott international matches. i can see i'd like to say who's going to sack this guy i don't see anybody going to sack him i think the only way that we could get him out of anything but the situation it is in is it every black player in the country in not just our country in every country and refused to play in the next international game that's what i think all the other than i don't think

there's a catch you know chance so. do we have to carry on talking right enough you know that's my opinion. racism is a hot topic in england at the moment it's been alleged q.p.r. defender anton ferdinand it was racially abused during a match by chelsea's john terry that's on the police investigation and political striker luis suarez has been charged by the f.a. over claims he made racist remarks in manchester united's patrice evra asked the manager also believes england has done a lot to stamp out racism in the game but more needs to be done. so i would say in the countries where you have a lot of immigration the problem is trying to get more seriously bringing in the other contracts and rightly so all and all i think him and he's taking dried stood he's doing well on that front but there's still some work to do you know and. the racist comments are an unacceptable because any

discrimination from using unacceptable. so let's look at the matches a to say in place in england's top flight on saturday our songs are flooded scene or it's very early kickoff it's the mel mel where you are also on the ropes they go to stoke nancy and i did it while it's one of the leaders manchester city face the only other unbeaten side in the league because newcastle. gulf now and the americans are in control of the presidents cup in melbourne belt a thirty nine lead into the sunday's twelve single matches after saturday's four balls and foursomes well elsewhere j.b. kruger who has fortunately the halfway mark of the alfred dunhill chaldron ship is in south africa so the bones of george mallory see him putting here and leave it aguilar up all tied for second at the leopard creek country club benson have been joined overnight leader with kruger by a sudden she wants all the englishman dropped to join second but aguilar remained flawless throughout his sixty four lowest round of the day to join friends and

online on the cracking shortlist. and krieger used his local knowledge to reach the turn at one under and then poor birdies on pressing back nine and sure he finished with a sixty seven. hundred one k. and when four shot advantage this one. that is now roger federer is writing to defend his title as the world's top i men's tennis basket set to do battle as the world's top finals gets underway at london's o two arena on sunday the players will be split into groups a and b. for a round robin stage with the top two from each group a string to the semifinals while the one that got the virtual line up alongside world number three and laurie in green bay is one is that it and there are much further while defending champion federer is in group b. with rafael nadal would be basing last year's final bedroom job open tsonga of

monte fish and six time wimbledon champion federer said just this return to the british capital is something special. or different to remember there's no it's there because it's nice that it's so different from the regular but i really like both clearly out there you know what are the best they can be at the o two which is that the on the ball serving in a great atmosphere that's really great matches over there over the years with you and your car with friends the mayor limo i felt a bit tired but. there's a. hell of it in the bag the big lot of it is here for this year to selin it's a hell of a love so it's a big goal and the i am so that's what they're doing and they have to finish the race. see i saw the actions on the part shallow afghans have extended their winning straits to four games after coming back to grab a last minute runner to be one yes through

a little bit of confident of the turf thanks plus the region saw it started the game cautiously and in defense first the food back to beat is a renier had to wait seventeen minutes until a deadlock was broken and it was the visitors had to believe yeah nice go us first shot from the blue line was blocked the definitive defenseman fired once again to send the puck home one nothing to add one and that's how it's been issued the first period in the second post to be just a possession and while piling on the precious dignity boys while a yellow and blues helping home team by collecting penalties but they failed to get allies on their chances even when they were two men out. however i'd be just top score in home favorite mikaela nice in pool one back to stephen behind the net the twenty three year old forward back handed into the top corner to make it one zero. in six minutes later a nice and found himself on a one on one breakaway and was in charge again to double his daily atlanta new

russian national goal to end the concert in my own and was helpless to run to readers and into the last period of playing without one levelled matters just four minutes after the restart the visitors struck with a quick answer attack me the order gossip bus of the fans man and the buckle right into the corner all demand to hold it seemed like the game would go to overtime but five minutes before the final bozza to get the most out of the top the loose spark stormed into the zone and record it home be disposed to go all in for an extra play in the dying seconds but it was too late and more disappointment for the home fans atlanta wanting out winners three to assist the team needs to put someone is a gather nothing we've been playing their last ten games and by you know we take it we lost the first selfless. very closely even here i believe the first or second period so i mean what's unfortunate got to rebound and get back on the rocks more went down the place i'm

a celebrity for sunday i was so frustrated an illusion all it takes me a day or a day to get over it all but. it's all a fatal word bitch about the game tonight saying you know let it go tomorrow and. just practice tomorrow ready for tonight's game with this victory up once freshly a winning streak to four majors and six six in the western conference well the tuesday evening we should be bored some of the table concerned about out of energy . well meanwhile prime minister burton has been showing off his own ice hockey skills in front of journalists he played for around forty minutes with former russian hockey stars who are doing their best to help him score is the burden is preparing for parliamentary elections in a fortnight but said he wanted to take time outs to help boost my stop his profile head of the next winter olympics will be held in the russian city of sochi in twenty forty. that's all the sports news i think.
