what do you promote and is there such thing as european approach for example there's an american approach to russian approach is there such thing as a european 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 be the single voice in international international affairs nevertheless i think there is a so-called sensibility and or sensitivity about international affairs europe bismarck closer to the e.u. or you should come to 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 are 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 new chemicals and don't forget that we have a huge controversy about. just cannot imagine the candidacy of russia. in a time when we are still struggling and debating a bangle so. about turkey so i think 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 just from now the european union will have extended to the whole planet actually because i think we do 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 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 play very well specially with. badly you really think you're 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 into dependence with more and more interdependence the risk of small incidents or accidents 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 . 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 most interesting model in politics that has been invented in the last show 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 finally actual facts and the right now america regardless of the crisis is considered to be hedging my answer to the number one thing it will be in ten years we're talking about the new type of governance and 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 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 degraded for instance of the of the notes. the 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 u.s. 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 also china you know china. hates it. 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 but it's going to take time now what are your predictions for russia because i know you've been traveling to this country since ninety seven and a lot of people say you know cynics in a westerly decorations are chains that 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 . teammates who do not recognize. the kind of the 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 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 op will see them constantly 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 by the way many of the

people who criticize russia constantly do not even trouble in russia still nevertheless russia and france do share a very special relation and we agree that these two countries are closer than any other european countries for instance but america we kind of have good relations but we have fundamental. blocking points with france we share. nearly what i think we get ourselves as opposed to other countries. i think that russia is in many ways a much stronger relationship with germany 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 when a new president in france for instance want to change the relation and that was the

case with sarkozy at the village at the beginning because at the beginning of his term sarkozy was a little negative about about russia but usually after the while when they 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. our best hope. because the deal with russia even though we have a special relationship you have operated 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 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 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. world 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 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 pressure that was also heavily criticized france france is against in that area thinking 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. there was the support from the arab league in the end there was a military involvement. in the. situation thank you very much for this interview.

chelsea and england captain john terry will face a criminal charge of using racist language towards q.p.r. defend it and this follows after liverpool striker luis suarez was earlier banned for eight games and fined by the english f.a. for racially abusing matched united defender patrice evra well terry is alleged to have verbal abuse twenty six year old ferdinand during the blues one nil defeat at loftus road on october the twenty third the thirty one year old said the hoff has vanished to find a charge to use the nail and chelsea have offered terry their full support the decision to charge terry was taken after police received a complaint from a member of the public. court on february the first faces a maximum fine of just under four thousand dollars but whatever happens terry has it's club behind him. he has my full support he has the club's full support. represents this close to a maximum level and very grateful to have

a player of his quality. you know what he represents the history and achievements you know within the club. we know exactly. the media. so well for supporting whatever good. while the football association fans who are as guilty of making racist comments to have read in the reds one one draw at home to united on october the fifteenth we're going to stand tonight as the allegations and has a fortnight to appeal a little course said we find it extraordinary interest can be found guilty on the word of patrice evra alone on the ban will not start until after any appeal and the twenty four year old is expected to play at wigan this wednesday that he could miss the carling cup semifinal against manchester city plus league matches against manchester united top there and also. well in the meantime league leaders manchester city entertain stoke this wednesday evening hoping to at least retain their two point lead over rivals manchester united and city manager about

a month cheney says the aim is to finish the packed christmas programme still at the summit. is important to stay on the top. is important as they graze most every week but it's important to stay in. this season because we know that can happen also that we can go in this example. this is going to happen is difficult to stay on the top four thirty six games games. but we drive these boys who were well meanwhile second placed united will be hoping for something to slip up while themselves aiming for a victory following which could see them go top though they haven't won a league match up creating scottish problems for years while elsewhere this wednesday fist place also will travel to aston villa near call sort of his last anyone's home so far from face ones and sunderland travel to neil warnock's q.p.r. he produced a valiant show in last sunday's two nil home defeat see united which was knighted

by black hats boss martin o'neill. first of all a good a lot of respect for the manager. and actually manage it for a long time. so you would know what to expect from his teams. considered. i feel i was really having a look at not just united. they have a number of challenges. so i don't think their confidence will be good. or one of those is as a crunch in london don't be as third place tottenham host a fourth place chelsea a long gone of the days when the blues were guaranteed a victory at white hart lane after seventeen years she's undefeated the players have now not want to spare since they too know victory in two thousand and five all told them all making their second best start in their one hundred twenty nine year history their best was when they won the double fifty one years ago but it's manager harry redknapp denies his side of the favorites. which is

a very choice between two two good teams and. here we have come a long way for sure you know a few years ago we would be. you know and even going if you go up between us and looks at the moment to be evenly matched very. well on cheers day nine more pressure was heaped on blackburn manager steve kean as his side slipped to the bottom with a two one hundred feet to basement and local rivals bolton while wolves twice came from behind to draw two two with norwich still just two points above the drop zone while over in spain defending champions rael madrid us through to the last sixteen of the copyright comprehensive five one highway at the thirty year point that idea sold them through seven want on aggregate soviet espanyol and while also advanced. and in the meantime the russian national team are twelfth behind and not in feet

funds tom's next game to be at the back on march the. well in contrast one of the league's wealthiest clubs and he has once again being linked with arsenal midfielder and russia captain and i showed in his former agent that he's lacked that says the thirty year old was hoping for a living from the emirates back to his former club so nice it's the simplest bankside have not expressed an interest as his role is now filled by portuguese danny so a move to angie in january could be more likely to die a sign club was bought by billionaire silliman get a move in january and since signed such stars as samuel eto and brazil legend roberto carlos. meanwhile lokomotiv moscow midfielder than he has been named russian player of the year after the twenty four year olds finished twenty eleven as locker's top scorer and became a regular member of the national side which of empathy reports. the age difference a year makes trade them to go denise. was just one of

a number of challenges rushing the field is the idea at the end of two thousand and eleven he's established himself as one of his country's key players in this position. you should call says there's no particular reason for his rapid improvements though he did pay tribute to his new coach my team i'll say caserio. the fact that the college 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 showed that i he didn't believe in me even though i was scoring regularly belief for me is everything's been a little push or call has been like a my teeth of a vast majority of his career. two thousand and eleven has been a frustrating campaign for the team has been failed to live up to very potential however to share call has been perhaps a team's key plan and a former coach anatoly push advance says denise is developing into an excellent midfielder. just that you know when you have so he's

a very versatile player and has everything you would want to find in a modern di footballer 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 . called his 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 while denise make certain to be selected to pick up a cut squad of euro two thousand and twelve finals however he's taking nothing for granted. 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 he

decides to call me up then i'll be delighted. two thousand and eleven proved to be an incredibly productive year for denise now. of the twenty eight the still be looking to improve if he continues to progress at the rate he's currently going out so he could become a key member of pick up the caps russia side of the euro two thousand and twelve championships richard bandler from eternity. and let's finish with a football goal which should have been at least in the running for the goal of the year award but for one small matter all this cracker found the back of the net in the hong kong top flight over the weekend and amazingly offensive overhead kicks that would have made life so much tonight if a rooney green with envy but the trouble was it was an own goal as nigerian defend us just as bad as attempted to clear the ball and failed magnificently fortunately his side citizen went on to win it three to one basis as it's the since gone viral

on the cross the internet. and that's all this will this wednesday fight and. culture is that so much maybe you really believe me a lot of people a very early bird when it came to the next kasich of north korea's dear leader again highlights the acute insecurity on the korean peninsula and beyond.
