mr prothero hello and thank you for time always glad to oblige do or think you can be the next president you're probably the most money i always aim high and whenever i launch a project i'm always in it to win it or taking part in this presidential election is definitely the most important decision i've ever taken and i'm ready for a fight if you aim high in other things you definitely should aim high in politics and your group of those attributes here especially can you know people often ask you if you're a kremlin project but i'd like to ask you about something else you're very much you're smart you have the reputation of a maverick and you have a strong team how did you end up in a situation where no one believes that you are not a common project the problem of all i think almost anyone who joins the presidential race is automatically labeled as a kremlin project or was and i will always want to know what it means that i was a successful and wealthy person even before but you know i don't rely on government

contracts with the whatever it is but we're talking about politics and politics is different real slow go it will keep seeing i can be independent because i have a lot of assets but i had most of those assets before put in what if the problem with people outside russia on the other hand don't really care if you're a crumb and project that so you make it to the runoff where you run against putin what would people outside russia know about you first they know you were taken then they know about the scandal in france where you were practically accused of being a pimp and also the fact that you own the new jersey nets why should the west take you seriously because of a process the point isn't whether it should or shouldn't it's up to me my team to explain to people that my goal is to change russia to have a specific program for integrating our country into the international community and making it world leader for the whole world is changing all nations are having a hard time unless we change our country and develop it. relations with other

countries will only become worse in the future when you last on this with let's talk about the us over the three years a reset in relations russia and the u.s. have fallen out on quite a number of issues iran libya the spy scandal not to mention the saudi fans how would you build a relationship with america purest to be able to do the first thing i do i would abandon the whole idea of the west versus russia i think it's about time we'll learn to differentiate our relations with europe are one thing and our relations with the u.s. are a different matter russia and america have many things in common but really the nuclear shield the fact that both our countries are large and multicultural we face similar challenges say immigration issues even if the reasons are different both countries have the best territory the only problem with america is that despite all that we don't really have economic ties with the us russia's share in us treat is less than that of thailand below one percent if we build

a purely political relationship proved to be unstable and often emotional the world is changing and the old system of checks and balances is not enough now i would suggest replacing nido with a pan-european security system the same list can russia join the european union or u.s. should i think we should actually make it our strategic goal of course we'll need to consider how to organize this common market but strategically i agree with gen to goal who said decades ago that we need a united europe from lisbon to vladivostok the left to live with these days all you hear in the years is syria and libya there's also run the right shouldn't protect syria and iran against the west or assure you or yes i believe that russia being an international leader should go together with the rest of the civilized world but at the same time we must be given clear guarantees. our national interest will not

suffer from taken around for example let's say a war erupts there tomorrow there were any serato now southern border right next to the caucasus imagine the flow of freshly cheese we're likely to get millions of people so there is no way to see she can be decided without russia we must be present at the negotiating table and have a sane decisions regarding iran needless to say no one in the world would want to iran to have weapons of mass destruction it will be as that i think of the vocals and yes those in the mode of the shots i wish do regard russia as a super power. national thought mob believe our country has an important mission by virtue or history we should set high goals and achieve them of course we haven't been doing that lately so mean you our people have lost the vision you know of the past week colonized the vast territories like say bierria russia is a special nation or that like sixteen challenges there is

a downside of course what i mean is that an individual people are considered significant and aren't sacrificed for the sake of a great goal but that was before me of course i'm to know us that word to mean before you before you become president both oka from the president yes before i become president we need to change that completely people should be at the heart of every grand aren't the taking of people should be the top priority but if you come to power you would have to make really tough decisions which is government spending reform the entire economy this is a much more difficult job than managing a company you built from scratch no matter how big it is plenty of you are absolutely right but one of a person who comes to power doesn't even have the experience of running a big company that would be even worse of course running in the real snicko is not the same as running the whole country but at least i have this experience i want to change my country in such a way that we could travel abroad and tell people that we live in russia and they

would look at us with envy you can say that you are never afraid of anything you have heard of before course they have fears. yes award i'm a human being i have doubts and fears but it's a matter of priorities it's normal to have fears but you need to know how to overcome your fears or if the future rock countries at stake and you are willing to assume their responsibility it is not a matter of having no fear it's a matter of realizing that your country's capable of doing this and that you can make a contribution to your country's development i'm actually very proud the time participating in the presidential election it's not everyone that can achieve this we so i treat this job and this choice with great responsibility and this thing but it actually seems like a very spend ten is the signature this isn't something you've been planning your whole life or have you make decisions quickly i guess they first develop within me over a long period of time and then when conditions are right i get

a kind of signal that it's time for a change so when i realized that i had to change something i turned to politics back in april when i just joined the right cause project i knew there would be a release on blood in a square in soccer of prospect that's why i went into politics or put it here to show footprint for do mean you knew nobody i got the signal this happens to me say i foresaw the crisis and i sold my assets in advance and this time it was the same thing what you felt was a wall is it intuition when you look at the border i don't know i guess it's a bit more tricky it's a combination of knowledge experience being aware of the current situation in the country and the world wide and intuition added together all these things enable you to make the right move but if you were present polls indicate that the people of russia couldn't as the next president if put in returns to the kremlin and it seems that he will what would that mean for the russian economy you just need to in europe or in europe if nothing changes the posi of the bill is

a sure will continue and this will seriously undermine the competitiveness. country we have to change because we are behind if we are really the nation we can defeat any four or any rival what we need to do is we need to realize that we are at war but this is an economic war if this is a war for the future for a slice of the global poverty we need to get our slice of the pie people often ask you who could be your prime minister if you could choose between political skin put in whom would you pick up as prime minister purchased here asking me to choose between two alternatives but actually you need more options than that in fact i don't think you can consider putin as a candidate for the prime minister's job at all he's been running the country for twelve years now and i think that's enough of more than enough history guards what are called ski i know me fail on a personal level we used to have a lot of contact if he is a really effective as

a manager but first he needs to be released and then we would need to meet and discuss things as you would release him if you were elected president of course i would pardon him immediately rational he also said you would turn the kremlin into museum what would you do about lenin would you keep him there like a mummy in a pyramid or bury him more international presence personally i think lenin should be buried but this should be done respectfully with regard to the people who disagree but i would hold a referendum on the shooter a political i don't think the next question is a referendum people often ask you whether you're going to get married or not i only ask about this because of political i really done now a single president would take a look at russia's history russia has never had a single president or a single either you say you're waiting for the love of a lifetime but your love of a lifetime may come tomorrow or in ten years and you want to be president today are you ready to get married if this helps you become president of the call for more than oh of course not if you put it like that i genuinely believe in love and i

really hope it comes to me sooner or later i work a lot and perhaps i don't give enough time. other things including dating i guess my work takes up too much of my time it's either the data or bad luck i'm lucky in many other things but i'm not lucky in love but i should be lucky sooner or later. you have been extremely lucky your whole life and you always emphasize the importance of good luck have you ever considered why you're so lucky actually i think that to be lucky you have to work a lot and that's what i often observed various politicians and the way they talk to the media especially during the campaign they often try to win you over with passion or emotion but you're a very reserved person at least that's how you appear to the media also when you talk to say all the right words but it all sounds like that as if you're reciting the multiplication table do you ever get sentimental. words everyone gets sentimental once in a while what can move you to tears let it be my own little secret when the book

that's what you tell everybody what was the last time you cried that it was back in my school days when i was bullied by three boys who were older than me they conard me and there was nothing i could do the whole class saw it but later i caught them all one by one going to deal with the loss thank you very much for the interview but thank you.

the title four years ago even sikorsky reports now and they've both got to the big dance this year. the two thousand and seven edition of the new england patriots played like an unstoppable juggernaut in the playoffs before reaching the big dance this year's team has been able to advance to the postseason despite glaring weaknesses the patriots ranks second from bottom and pass defense this year and it looked like the ravens would exploit that acutely steel in the a.f.c. decider baltimore's joe flacco time the game at ten with that second strike and dennis pitta new england secondary was torched again in the third with rookie tory smith giving baltimore a seventeen to sixteen lead. and when the chips were down for the home team quarterback tom brady yet again showed plenty of physical and mental toughness despite having a poor day passing the ball the thirty four year old taking a huge hit on a quarterback sneak but still made the score twenty three to twenty new england

that will prove the final score as the pats defense fared better than expected late on the ravens lee evans stopped just short of calling in a touchdown pass by backup quarterback sterling moore. the game would have gone into overtime if it wasn't for billy cundiff misfiring on a relatively easy close range kick sending the patriots a fifth super bowl berth since two thousand and one the new york also involved in a close championship game over in the n.f.c. decider the san francisco forty nine er's constantly looking to vernon davis who burned the giants for two touchdowns in the forest and third quarter cuts to the little giants quarterback eli manning a seen his star rise to brother peyton's level after a great season with a thirty one year old finding mariel manningham late in the fourth for a seventeen to fourteen lead both kickers on their game in this contest with david acres time proceedings at seventeen of these. special teams mistakes all the forty
