well look. it's technology innovation all these developments around russia we've got this huge earth covered. this is. twenty six thousand asteroids and no civilian casualties our rage greets that made his claims of a flawless libya and that all as a new and just as body campaign calls it gets get out through school but suppose it's. russia's freshly elected parliament has chosen its speaker the new state do make of the news for the first time two weeks alter its election spalt mass protests and police for real comes. under friendship between britain and the

brussels and that is london to latin stringent benefit laws saying newly arrived immigrants who came must be as eligible as britons themselves. the russian soyuz spacecraft carrying streets into the international space station crew members is in their old basic. offices as we go into from a stony baikonur cosmodrome in kazakhstan. next the head of the french institute of international relations to didn't want paints a picture of the present landscape across the globe stay with us. to the longer we all thank you very much for being with us today it's a pleasure sir so you had one of your ups i was wondering in terms of policy what

do you promote and is there such thing as european approach for example there's an american approach there is russian approach is there such thing as your approach not really in policy terms because you know europe is not yet. single unified decision making specially for foreign policy i think it will take a few decades before europe is able to act as the single voice in international international affairs nevertheless i think there is a so-called sensibility you know or sensitivity about international affairs europe bismark closer to the. continent but in 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 now first of all. russia is much too big you know and i think that. europe has and loves a lot in since the collapse of the soviet union twenty years ago and we have not they just. the newcomers don't forget that we have a huge controversy about. just cannot emerge in the candidacy of russia. in a time when we are still struggling and debating a bangle so. about turkey so thing 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 one two hundred years 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 that is not the slightest

chance. for russia to join so surprised to hear that theory for many people now that at the. basis for your playing very well specially with. badly you really think you are playing such a strong foundation that it can last and actually expand. yet. again i'm talking long very long term horizon for fall 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 of course

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 new instruments of governance to avoid the repetition of such crises and but but there is no alternative for europe is supposed europe. suppose you have destroys itself itself it could happen of course. but it would be a. single member of the european union it would be probably world so my point is that of course the basis of realty really shaky but it is 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 you will see that i am right the first punished for example right now america regardless the crisis is considered to be had to be number one how do you think it will be in ten years we're talking about the new cut cap and governance of the well first of all i think that the us is no longer the good model and that it's the beginning of the end and we made but it will be at this stage comparable to let's say the great britain at the end of the don't see into 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 note. 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 thinking in those terms because the custom to think about themselves. all the other countries following the leadership is no longer the case but you know we've also china you know china. hates a. also to discuss and to 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 we other countries they have to own. to learn to learn how to cooperate with others

and with the europeans in particular on financial matters that it's going to take time 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 declarations are change they really rush a 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 in spite of all the huge difficulties of transition after the collapse of the soviet union and i think that most of western and teammate who do not recognize. 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 well so i think what has been achieved is quite remarkable i think this country will gradually evolve in. the way in a new 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. worst country in particular but not only in france. 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 people see them constantly you know 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 but by the way many of the people who put the size of russia constantly do not even trouble in russia it's true nevertheless russia and france do share a very special relation and do you agree that this two countries are closer than any other european countries president 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 been kind of a special relationship it is 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 beginning because at the beginning of his term sarkozy was a little negative about russia but usually after the while when the when the newcomer sees 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 hope. because the deal with russia when they want to have a special relationship you have a rapport and right now we are always agree politically for instance in case of libya sarkozy was so adamant for cafferty russia not so much what he thinks well. i think two things at least. 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 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 on the side. of the crowds and dictators. so to be too much conservative to be on the side of saddam hussein in

their fee. kim jong il. it's not it's not it cannot be a long term policy so. it's a difficult balance but in case of bashar that was also heavily criticized france france is against a military intervention differently 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. support in the security council and more important than that there was the support from the arab league in the and there was a military involvement of some but up countries in the case of syria it's a totally different situation thank you very much for this interview.

thirty straight defeats. well meanwhile looking to moscow midfielder then this crucial golf has been named russian player of the year after the twenty four year old finnish twenty eleven is looking as top scorer and became a regular member of the national side michelle quarterly reports. it's a difference a year makes two months ago denise culture coffee was just one of a number of talented russian midfielders thank the weather of the end of two thousand and eleven he's established himself as one of his country's key players in this position who should cause 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 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 at like a mighty five a vast majority of his career two thousand and eleven has been a frustrating campaign for the team as bay failed to live up to their potential however crucial cough has been perhaps the team's key player and a former coach anatoly busch advents says denise is developing into an excellent midfielder. he's a very versatile player and has everything you would want to find in a modern day shoot bowler defensively he's very sound while he is excellent for getting forward 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 from it failed. 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 cat squad of the year of two thousand and twelve finals however he's taking nothing for granted. that deliver the i don't even want to think about trying to break into russia starting eleven at the moment i would just lie. like to make this what is there is six months till the euros get underway and the law can happen in this time in the end it's different because decision and he decides to call me up then i'll be delighted i got over two thousand and eleven bridge been incredibly productive year for denise however the twenty four year old has to be looking to improve and if he continues to progress at the rate he's currently going at it and he could become a key member dick of the cats russia side of the euro two thousand and twelve championships richard ben-veniste for eternity. two i saw some pieces where you have gone top of the k h l standings after winning five two at their sister club sky here in moscow the hard side to take in and there are only two things russian

. high let's finish with a football goal which should have been at least in the running for the gold of the year award but for one small matter well this krakow found the back of the net in the hong kong top flight over the weekend and amazingly athletic overhead kick the likes him. it's johnson's way to go green with envy but the trouble is he wasn't his nigerian defender first as best attempt to clear the ball can fail by deficit but fortunately his sight so soon runs on so many seats a face is a fiscal since gone viral across the incidents. and that's all the sport for this present please join me again for another update in just under two hours one till then i think. here in bygone days sleds were vital to get around.
