an american approach there is russian approach is there such thing as a european approach not truly in policy terms because we know europe is not yet. single unified decision making especially for foreign policy i think it will take a two few decades before europe is able to act as the single voice in international international affairs nevertheless i think there is also the sensibility of 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 in time years 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 don't forget that we have a huge controversy about turkey just cannot emerge in the candidacy of russia. in a time when we are still struggling and debating a bangle so. about 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 in 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 governance so the european union is a very serious thing but if you tell me in ten years that is not the slightest

chance for russia to join surprised to hear that they are in for as many people now that are the. basis for your play. especially with doing so badly you really think such a strong foundation ok last and actually expand. 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 a 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 of course but progress is difficult of course in the case of the euro we know at

a 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 new instruments of governance to avoid the repetition of such crises and but but there is no alternative for the supposed europe. suppose you have destroys itself itself it could happen of course. but it would be a cup a straw for every single member of the european union it will be probably world so my point is that of course the realty really shaky but it is the most interesting model in politics that has been invented in the last 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 funny actual fact sample right now america regarding the crisis is closer to be had in mind continue to be number one how do you think it will be in ten years when you're talking about the new cut cap and 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 all the other countries following the leadership is no longer the case but no we also china you know china. hates it. also to discuss and to to negotiate the economic policies with the with the others so we have one country we have two countries that are three 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

that is going to take time and what are your predictions for russia because i know you've been traveling to this country since one thousand seven hundred a lot of people say you know cynics in the west that only decorations are chains that really russia is stuck and that 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 to 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. the kind of 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. a way in a 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. 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 criticize for not being good enough democratic and so forth and so on that in the end can have a negative feedback effect so we should be more tolerant to but 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 relations and we do you agree that these two countries are closer than with any other european countries for instance but america we kind of have good relations but we have fundamental blocking points with france we share. racial why do you think we get along so well as opposed to other countries. i think that russia is in many ways a much stronger relationship with germany than than with france but particular 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 president 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 the while when the when the newcomer his 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 best. because they deal with russia even though we do have a special relationship that you have operating right now we don't always agree politically for instance libya sarkozy was so adamant for cafferty go russia not so much what he thinks well. i think two things. at least. 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 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 difficult and we know that there are many obstacles for instance the post that 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 on the side. of autocrats and dictators. so to be too much conservative to be on the side of saddam hussein and the fee of. 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. that was also heavily criticized france france is against a military intervention something different it's not that we realistically 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 actual military involvement of some arab countries in the case of syria it's a totally different situation. thank you very much for this interview.

usual during this is going to happen is difficult to stay on the top for thirty six games the games. but we responsible. in other games even mention i did go to full on fifth place arsenal go to aston villa newcastle who've lost only once at home so far take on west brom while everton face one safe and sunderland travel to neil warnock's q.p.r. who produced a valiant show in last sunday's to your home defeat the united and it didn't go unnoticed by black cats boss martin o'neill. first of all a good lot of respect for the manager has been. an excellent move into it for a long time and you so you would know what to expect from his teams. and they consider. i feel. i was really having a look at the just you know. they have a number of chances of course mature student of this will see so i don't think that

their confidence will be good losing. well last night more pressure was he manages steve kean is his side slip to the foot of the table after a two one defeat to bolton davies rico putting the visitors to nola before you got one back for the home side and in the other gay male wolves came from behind twice to draw two two with knowledge but is still only two points clear of the relegation zone. while over in spain defending champions real madrid through to the last sixteen of the copper del rey there a comprehensive five one win over thirtieth. seeing them go three seven one an aggregate severe spaniel i mean also advancing after victories on cheese day not. well back here in russia lokomotiv moscow midfielder glue she called has been named russia player of the year twenty eleven proving to be a good season for the twenty four year old who also became a regular member of the national side with more is richard poor fleet. well to

difference a year makes twelve months ago denise korsakoff was just one of a number of talented russian midfielders however at the end of two thousand and eleven he's established himself as one of his country's key players in this position boucher calls his there's no particular reason for his rapid improvements though he did pay tribute to his new coach with my team. the fact that the coach believes in me is vital and when you have this belief it's much easier to play on the field and i remember back in two thousand and eight when i was playing and the coach at that time that i shared that i he didn't believe in me even though i was scoring regularly belief for me is everything. bush record has been like in my teeth of a vast majority of his career two thousand and eleven has been a frustrating campaign for the team it's very failed to live up to their potential however to chicago has been perhaps the team's key player and a former coach anatoly push of vets says denise is developing into an excellent

midfielder. what does that you know when you have so he's a very versatile player and has everything you would want to find in a modern day. defensively he's 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 denise looks certain to be selected to pick up the current squad of the year of two thousand and twelve finals however he's taking nothing for granted. but i think 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

a lot can happen in this time in the end it's dick of the cost decision and if you decide to call me up then i'll be delighted with 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 richard pombo from eternity moscow. now angie and ever add to the news at the moment and assholes on the way are shaaban is the latest big name plate opening with the wealthy russian side his former agent any slack says a shove and was hoping for a move away from the emirates back to his former clubs any but this is not expressed an interest and a move to angie for the arsenal player in january is more likely angie were taken over by billionaire at the start of the season and have signed cameroon star. i'm
