welcome back you're watching aren't you live from moscow these are the headlines russia demands an investigation into civilian deaths from nato bombings in libya in response to a human rights report which claims dozens were killed in airstrikes that's as locals say a draw us of these are still being committed in the country with former gadhafi loyalists the target of. russia's newly elected parliament embarks on its work two weeks after the polls that sparked mass protests against alleged vote rigging and calls for a recount the central election commission has looked into the claims and cancelled

the voting results of twenty one polling stations but this didn't affect the overall outcome. and disagreements between the u.k. and the e.u. grow with the battlefront now being welfare rolls the block insists the britain pays billions to non-citizens something london says will spawn benefit tourism. well next the hand of the french institute of international relations terry paine's picture of the present political landscape across the globe. to the longer we all thank you very much for being with us today it's a pleasure sir so you had one of europe's think tanks i was wondering in terms of policies what do you promote and is there such thing as european approach for

example there's an american approach there's russian approach is there such thing as a european approach not really in policy terms because we know europe is not yet. single unified decision making specially for foreign policy i think it will take a two few decades before europe is able to be the single voice in international international affairs nevertheless i think there is a sofa and sensibility you know a sensitivity about international affairs europe is much closer to the. duration continent than the united states perhaps we are a little bit more realistic but do you see russia as part of europe yes of course russia is part of europe but it's not part of the european union you know i was reading the economist couple of years ago and they were making predictions on how the world would be interest and one of the predictions was that russia will be part of european union do you think it's possible you know why not. first of all.

russia is much too big you know and i think that. europe president loves a lot in since the collapse of the soviet union twenty years ago and we have not they just. the newcomers and the don't forget that we have a huge controversy about. just cannot emerge in the country this see russia. in a time where we are still struggling and debating a bundle so. both turkey so i think that i'm not saying that russia will never be in the european union you know my own vision is that only one hundred years from that well it seems as though just from now the european union will have extended to the whole planet actually because i think we are the seeds of a new model of world government so the european union is a very serious thing but if you tell me in ten years that is not the slightest chance for fall for russia to join so surprised to hear that theory from as many

people now that the. basis for your playing a very shameful special with you doing so badly you really think such a strong foundation i can last and actually expand. yet. again i'm talking long very long term horizon for for one simple reason you know globalization means more and more interdependence with more and more interdependence the risk of the small incidence of accidents somewhere have a huge consequence is all over the world this risk is increasing very fast which means that we will have to invent totally new modes of governance and this is exactly what we are experimenting. european union level so of course the progress is difficult of course in the case of the you will we know at the very

defining moment. my guess by the way for the euro is that we will come out of this stronger not weaker because we will be forced you know to invent into the new devices the the new instruments of governance to avoid the repetition of such crises and but but there is no alternative for thought for europe is supposed europe. so suppose you have destroys itself itself it could happen of course. but it would be a cup a straw for a single member of the european union it will be the world so my point is that of course the realty really shaky but it is the the most interesting model in politics that has been invented in the last so since world war two and i repeat i think it will be a model for the whole world and invite me again in one hundred years from now and

you will see that i am right that first financial fine example right now america regardless the crisis is closer to be had in mind and soon to be number one how do you think it will be in ten years we're talking about a new type of governance of the world first of all i think that the us is no longer the hague of modern and that it's the beginning of the end and we may very well be at this stage comparable to let's say the great britain at the end of the don't seem to century. talk about seventy or eighty years for the u.k. to lose entirely its predominance and i think we have a more or less similar evolution with the us my point is that the degradation for instance of the of the notes. to us by standard and poor's seems to be an anecdote but it's deeper than that because it shows that no the united states is becoming

a country like the others that is they have to to put their house in in order but it will take time and the problem is that the us you know they are not accustomed to think in those terms because the custom to think about themselves. all the other countries following the leadership is no longer the case but no we also china you know china. hates it. also to to to discuss and to to negotiate the economic policies with the with the others so we have one country we have two countries that have to be the u.s. and china for different reasons the do not like to cooperate to really corporate with the with other countries they have to live on. to learn to learn how to cooperate with others and with the europeans in particular on financial matters but

it's going to take time and what are your predictions for russia because i know you've been traveling to this country since ninety seven a lot of people say you know cynics in the west that only decorations and change that really russia stack mentality what do you predict for russia what how do you see now and how how do you how do you see it coming up in the next five ten years well first of all. like this country. like think it's a great country it's a civilization in itself and i think that what they have done over the last twenty years is quite remarkable remarkable spite of all the huge difficulties of transition after the collapse of the soviet union and i think that most westerners and his teammate who do not recognize him from. the kind of a nightmare you know the collapse of the soviet union with all its institutions its economy and so forth and so on was so i think what has been achieved is quite

remarkable i think this country will gradually evolve in. the way in the more liberal way but all this will take time do you agree that image of russia in the west is slightly distorted if not iraq it is yes i think the in the west country in particular but not only in france there is a tendency to look at russia in a very very good. because the way and i think this is probably has a negative backlash as a consequence because i think that for the for the for the russians if the op will see them constantly you know criticize for not being good enough democratic and so forth and so on but in the end it can have a negative feedback effect so we should be more tolerant but and by the way many of

the people who criticize russia constantly do not even trouble in russia strip nevertheless russia and france do share a very special relation and do you agree that these two countries are closer than what any other european countries for instance but america we kind of have good relations but we have fundamental blocking point with france we share. nearly what i think we get also as opposed to other countries. i think that russia is in many ways a much stronger relationship with germany than than with france but. you could in economic terms but i think it is true nonetheless that france and russia has always kind of a special relationship and it's very interesting because one of the new presidents in france for instance want to change the relation and that was the case with sarkozy at the very beginning because at the beginning of his terms of course he

was a little negative about about russia but usually after a while when the when the newcomer is job so to speak to the classical relation is restored. so it's exactly what happened with president sarkozy by the way so and also it's important to see that in russia in france. russia is culturally quite popular for instance many of you know our best hope. because the deal with russia even though we do have a special relationship to your lap or at you know right now we don't always agree politically for instance in case of libya sarkozy was so adamant for cafferty go russia not so much but i think well. i think two things at least. first. if there is you know when you have

circumstances such as the so-called arab spring that some people prefer to call the islamic spring which i think is a little bit exaggerated but the way to behave it is not obvious at all because we know that doing nothing is not desirable and acting too quickly has also some drawbacks so the choice is is difficult and we know that there are many obstacles for instance the postcard i feel. will not be an easy one but this being said i think it's important for russia not to give the impression that. it is always on the underside. of autocrats and dictators. so to be too much conservative to be on the side of saddam hussein in their fee. kim jong il. it's it's

not it's not it cannot be a long term policy so. it's a difficult balance but in case of that was also heavily criticized france france is against a military intervention that makes it different it's not that we really stick you know there is no support for military intervention nobody wants to intervene militarily in the in the case of libya it was. risky but there was after all support in the security council and more important than that there was support from the arab league in the in the end there was a natural military involvement of some arab countries in the case of syria it's a totally different situation thank you very much for this interview.

this is going to happen is difficult to stay on the job for thirty six games the games. we drive responsible. in other games the saving mansion i to go to for them to place are still going to aston villa or newcastle who've lost the only ones at home so far take on what's wrong what everton play swanzy and sunderland travel to neil warnock's q.p.r. he produced a valiant share in last sunday's senior home defeat to united a function not underestimated by the black cats boss martin o'neill. first of all a good a lot of respect for the manager has been. an excellent manager for a long time and you so you would know what to expect from his teams. and they could consider themselves. really having a look at the. number of chances of course mature student how this will seem to me

so i don't think that their confidence will be good losing. well last night more pressure is the manager steve king is his side slip to the foot of the table after a two one defeat to bolton they recently putting the visitors to know before you got one back for the home side and in the other game wolves came from behind twice to draw city with marriage but are still only two points clear at the relegation zone. now back here in russia lokomotiv moscow midfielder denis has been named russia player of the year twenty eleven proving to be a good season for the twenty four year old who who also became a regular member of the national side with more is richard porfiry. what's a difference a year makes twelve months ago denise culture coffee was just one of a number of talented russian midfielder. however at the end of two thousand and eleven he's established himself as one of his country's key players in this

position crucial causes there's no particular reason for his rapid improvements though he did pay tribute to his new coach in my t.v. or sicko syria. the fact that the coach believes in me is vital and when you have this believe it's much easier to play on the field i remember back in two thousand and eight when i was playing and the coach at that time and i should write him off didn't believe in me even though i was scoring regularly belief for me is everything. who should call has been at like a much eve of a vast majority of his career two thousand and eleven has been a frustrating campaign for the team is very failed to live up to vent potential however crucial called has been perhaps the team's key player and a former coach anatoly busch of vince says denise is developing into an excellent midfielder. on just that you know when you have he's a very versatile plant and has everything you would want to find in a modern day. defensively he is very sound while he is excellent for getting food

and schools a lot of goals especially for midfielder i'm really happy that he managed to break into the national team and i'm sure he can continue to go from strength to strength . bush recalled was like a much each top scorer with eight goals which is an impressive return for midfielder. and that helped a twenty four year old break into the russian national team and he managed to grab his first of a goal for his country against andorra all denise looks certain to be selective to pick out the cut squad of the year of two thousand and twelve finals however he's taking nothing for granted. but then the deliver the i don't even want to think about trying to break into russia starting eleven at the moment i would just like to make the squad as there is six months till the euros get under way and they're looking to happen in this time in the end it's dick of the cost decision and he decides to call me up then i'll be delighted. two thousand and eleven proved to be

an incredibly productive year for denise however the twenty four year old will still be looking to improve if he continues to progress at the rate he's currently going adds and he could become a key member of take up the caps russia side of the euro two thousand and twelve championships which a bumbo from eternity. now and never added the news at the moment a nozzles on the dash of an is the latest big name play for the rich russian side his former agent has said well. hoping for a move away from the emirates back to his former clubs any that this in pittsburgh have not expressed an interest in a move to angie is now more likely angie were taken over by billionaire sleeman cut him off at the start of the season and have signed cameroon star samuel two as well as brazil legend roberta carlos. actually now from i saw where scar some papers here scar five to moscow the wind extending scars the top of the western conference to twelve points and i had gone ahead three denny's part early on but that seemed

to spark into life after that though it is being handled got a brace of his side scored four more times and even though passing got one back to the he got the final goal of the night by two to see the defeat least in eighth place in the western conference. now another russian sports minister vitaly moved call once a country sport federations to become more transparent as they prepare for next year's london olympics and their first ever home winter games in sochi in twenty fourteen the top official spoke at a meeting with the heads of the local sports media and extended his gratitude to r.t. incidentally for helping to promote sport summing up the year course said an overhaul had taken place russia's disappointing performance in eleventh place overall finish the word to the lympics in vancouver two years ago believed a more systematic approach to sport is needed to help russia become more
