but how show us is complaining then i quote most integrated companies the favorite braincell have put himself have so far failed to become globally competitive or highly capitalized nor are they consistently profitable and quote so do you think that he's ready to address the importance of it the main reason are the situation the lack of transparency the you know. an efficient management most of whom are put in personal friends and so on yeah i've put and takes a lot of flak about about the so-called. corruption that's. it's. he's he's at the top so he has to stop here he has to answer for what's happening in the country but. i guess that and this may be unpopular but he's probably trying i imagine he's trying to do

something maybe he's not doing enough. i don't mean to apologize if i'm not on the putin payroll that's for sure but i mean i wish i was but. i don't but i don't think i think of course you have to fight hard you know it's a tough problem and it has a history and he inherited it it started before his time and other quote from your putin's promises that i quote the government will support large infrastructure projects firstly this means transportation their words andrew i book communication with siberia and russia's far east and quote well the question to you as a free successful businessman you were so so are so the cost of road construction it's too high in russia it's raising corruption suspicion so so what's putin what is he proposing to control it and why could couldn't they start trying to rosewood

ten twelve years ago. it's a difficult question but i'll try to make the answer first of all in the whole world there are few programs international programs which can be very useful and convenience to many countries. instructions and build the buildings yes it's a very good because it's a lot of people who will be involved a lot of money turnover and etc etc etc and then the same time he has to declare to the any other sector of economy possibility to develop so this is two way one belong to the state sector and another one belongs to the private sector if you will have a very good combination between these two and give them very good road conditions. definitely all of them has to strengthen against the corruption and this is the main question now. for both of you well one of the favorite favorite person in the putin's government is mr force and how they can lead to their the

education minister the same goes for simcoe reforms hated by by the parents by the kids by teachers by everybody put in says new head you creation is the primary base for the new economy let's hear the quote. restoring the innovative nature of the economy should begin with universities we should be seen as equal centers with fundamental science and resources for innovative people we need to pursue a national objective that results in globally competitive russian universities by twenty twenty we should have several world class universities that spanned the entire spectrum of material and social technology. if i would comment on this i would say that putin is understands that the quality of education in russia is falling and the rate of the brain drain is rising which is what your strange way but it is admitting so do you think that something urgent should be

don't rush and u.k. should please show even obviously i mean i mean if if if somebody plans to stay in russia and plans lead russia they have to keep russia strong and that has that means they have to keep what they have you keep keep obviously keep your your best people in the country i mean that's why it was impossible and so you could hear it right you couldn't open the doors in the soviet period you spent twenty years investing in these people and you had a closed system a closed economy you couldn't just open the doors and say ok you want to go so you're taking our equivalent of i don't know how much is a great brain worth two hundred thousand five hundred thousand just take it and go and then who work in another economy can't do that well and he has. to protest to how much is like a pair of feet worth and if feet from the bolshoi i mean. i mean that's just a common sense so obviously that's his job can he do it. i wish him luck

because i like this country rich as far as my opinion a long time ago during the period of soviet era we had a very good. system of education it was in my opinion one of the best but it was previous period and the new period has to have the new variance of education which will be much more convenience to the new used of economy definitely we need force and maybe he is not so good in this way because he didn't think about this like about something extraordinary he thinking i have a task i'll try to do the best but it's not in my forces in general we have to see that the new house a structure of asian in russia just growing just enforcing it is not the last period he just maybe just maybe he's not clear we're going to so smart but we have to do more in this way and this is i'm in this way i supporting mr putin exactly

because if you want to build a new ground country you have to have the new kind of education i want to just if i may that russia has a tradition of great as you said in tradition of great education and it also has the resources it's the ninth or the sixth largest economy depending on how you're judging in the world they can afford and if it does if they don't do that and it's a big failure in a while one thing more you have a lot of program is the. people who are making the programs in the united states from who belong to the rusher and so that we have a capacity we have a potential but the main idea how to organize it and force and unfortunately he's not the best person to do move to move to push this process that is the question. in one of the in one of the lines putin talks of the so-called rival countries he says russia is losing out to rival countries in terms of its investment climate one well what would you say sean. would this put in imply which one of those rival

countries is back in. and what is it well it obviously isn't just actually read through i've been talking about enemies of rivals around the world or does he really believe that somebody wants to take or to take over russia. well i mean. is he talking about china for instance or india. or is the food in about the only way we couldn't have this us are because you know we will we just talked of earlier before we came into the studio and we talked about the a bit the anti-american rhetoric of the russians and the russian government's number but we said that it's only inside it's only in the in the russia when russia wishes go outside they're not anti-american at all i mean i mean. what putin does isn't better role for the united states is it he doesn't do anything bad for the states no the other countries in the world i mean right i mean in fact. obviously

we since mr obama has kind of dealt with the nato issue so that nato no then the west is no longer pushing pushing the former soviet union poor of russia in with nato expansion into its you know into its socks. i think you know basically putin is somewhere on good terms right there's no big reason for for problems that can last very short question to mr similar to many people many ordinary people read this article is that it's about the luxury tax there's going to be a special. there are you concerned with on yes it is necessary because we have a country who. came out from the soviet union system and not to come to the new one we are in the middle and if you want to go in the wind somebody you have to see what the hell you are make the invitation for what he said in the future in a new world all the rich people will be how it's

a punish because they are not so good and you are simple people workers the collective farmers if you will be together with me will give some people that is the it's a propaganda nothing else lot of thank you thank you xan thank you letter and you're reminded that my guess on the show today were journalist and filmmaker sean ramsay and filmmaker and journalist politician and businessman of lattimer samantha banks was a pleasure talking to in just a reminder that spotlight will be back with more first time comments on what's going on in and outside russia until then stay on russia today and take a bite. mission

city center streets and marched all the way to bolotnaya square where i am currently standing now the government does approve of these protests they do want the people to voice their opinions however they have deployed some nine thousand police officers here on jubilant last square and throughout the city center to just make sure that it isn't back to peaceful protests and it actually has been it's been very quiet in the british for the reward we can leave because i'm tired of the government which doesn't do what promises and wants this to carry on for you. believe them. changes their intentions and more whole life freeze their day was the killer might go for it it wanted to come here on june sixth we've seen a number of flags you have the nationalists you have the leftists there are calls for a sort of so are a style leader however there isn't really one leader leading this protest movement

towards fair and free elections you do have me called procrit of who was here today a ball of less square although he did not speak he was not going to speak in terms of what's been done since the december fourth parliamentary elections actually a lot you know prime minister vladimir putin has promised to put webcams in polling stations and he's followed through on that the website has been launched it is ready and you can check it out where are you will be seeing the bills a live feeds not to mention the fact the independent league of electors who will be heading out to the polling stations when the presidential elections happen in march you have that league a sad list not to mention the prime minister putin who has. been criticised for showing his face a little too much in the media he has promised to slash is air time and not participate in any of those public presidential debates however he will continue to keep on writing his articles the third one which is set to be out sometime next

week now aside from that you do have president made today day of what his state of the union address and data put together a sort of long list of reforms that if presented to the duma by february some point during february and approved they will be in place for the presidential elections in march and in another part of the city you have protesters coming out in support of the current russian government who i think a lot have sussed roisin the loss of need. now the principle that they had a lot of revolution that never gives livesay here has been late there is such a thing called the seat all ridged there but that is a reference to the hard favor that took place in ukraine it's two thousand and five which led to a presidential rerun something they don't want to see his those in attendance here is a very have experience in russia of the whole ships of revolution of the tovey that

going sees as a result but it's not something they want to hear of me saying but if him here to support russia to support own installations i don't know if i want to still have a bright future and i want to is to choose the future we are sorry it was the war years ago that i don't know who exactly gathered to vote in a square but i think it's perfectly fine that they did it it's democracy and they are the opposition you know that was that would be a must must for those who have come here it's not a well visually wasn't really believe that our eyes my mind is never right should have all of us of those in attendance saying to me showing them wrong i mean. whining about bird has never. been allegations.

poses. no. very public library recordings so what we're seeing right now is. take a greatest moscow is warning it or veto the latest u.n. resolution on syria if the text is submitted its current form russia says the document still needs to be revised for the security council expected to meet in the next few hours it comes with reports from syria of a new crackdown in the city of homs with hundreds literally killed let's get more enough marty sarah ferguson is here in the studio for us to today thanks for joining us now russia is hoping that this new resolution won't be put to the vote today what's moscow's main concerns about it. well the main concerns are really the language of the resolution that's been right from the beginning real focal point

they don't like this obscure language this seems lead because the door opens international intervention. resolution has been softened and that's been seen by the u.n. diplomats the people working on that is quite a major concession to russia some of the main issues such as the arms embargo and economic sanctions have been dropped from that draft. the foreign minister from russia said the demands being made of the armed groups in the country and there's a sense that the draft has prejudices towards the outcome of national dialogue and i think we really there's a sense that they want to get this right you know we're seeing a fish now some kind of vote today but at the same time you know russia is certainly very wary about this language no one wants to make the same mistakes were made in libya and you know we saw the outcome of that obscure language that was signed off on and where that led say you know i think the sense is really that they want to get this right the first time not rush into something when both sides are

still not quite happy with the final the final draft now on the ground we've been hearing reports that hundreds of people were killed last night by the regime damascus is saying it's really you know terrorist groups that are causing trouble stirring up trouble you've just come back from syria what's your take on what's really happening there those reports devastating i mean for anyone who's following the. it's very hard to get a gauge on the accuracy of the figures you know we've seen them all over the pace really certainly with regards to the situation in homs at the moment one of the people who is reporting from that area had described it as sort of a sick of numbers you know these are people who are supposedly being killed and the thing is it just everyone says certainly really high priority to try and get some kind of accurate information. coming out from that because you know that does play a big part in how the international community on now going to respond to the

situation certainly in the country the situation is absolutely dire for these people i mean you've got an increasingly polarized country you've got a situation that just seems to be escalating all the time and these armed conflicts breaking out in areas with he civilian populations i can't stress that enough for me when you see the armed groups and see the security forces and you've got the political battle going on as well on the ground in these places that are under attack and you've got families and children. who are absolutely terrified about the situation that's unfolding in the country right now speaking to people in syria are just saying i can't believe that we're watching this play out on the international stage right now they're watching that u.n. security council resolution going to be being discussed and there are people on the ground are having to live this so i mean it's absolutely pivotal that i think some sort of decision is made of fairly soon of course they want to get this draft resolution right but time isn't on the side for these people in the country you

know they're in a desperate situation right now you know they don't have any real outlet towards resolution of any kind on the ground so you know whilst this resolution is being discussed in the security council action is needed there in the country just back from syria marty co-sponsor for thank you for joining us with those views. well still to come in the program religion as a testing ground investigate how new forms of islam will change the face of the whole nation need to serious consequences. that's plastic partners robots complete with real women and not the hearts of men such a large. protests raging across egypt have left at least eleven people dead as police fired volleys of tear gas and birdshot into crowds he threw rocks in the plight of the thousand people have been injured clashes continue around the interior ministry with several government buildings reportedly set on fire people are venting their anger at police for failing to prevent wednesday's

football violence in port side which killed seventy four people demonstrate is not among council steps down the route as a hijacking with russian or middle east analyst on the tires so as objections are furious that many of the generals are still running the country. the main recipient of criticism now in egypt is the military council because it really have all the powers and they are demanding the doors bound we will be transferred quickly either to a government or to an elected president and the military council is still very hesitant and i learned it is still something that happened a couple weeks ago when the military council ordered security forces to go and shut down democracy agencies both education n.g.o.s and international n.g.o.s u.s. based n.g.o.s all of that indicates that the military council is very has been in transferring power to democracy because if they want to cut the deal with

a force which most likely will be the muslim brotherhood there is something very odd about the fact that egypt broke down in the going to gary and leader and yet some of its agencies are acting as if you are again if you missed going to iraq what is happening right now is that large segments of civil society specifically the youth. egypt who began the revolt and revolt was taken away by other political parties including the muslim brotherhood and it's not as though you are angry at the government because they want the military council to transfer power to them or actually to their representatives and they fear that egypt is moving towards another of the rigor and regime. that r.t. dot com is the place to find other opinions and updates on developments in egypt and elsewhere in the world online right now people may or june israel votes no time around nuclear facilities at least that's what they see in washington.

and russia is over the moon unveiled its space some bishops and other stories are valuable online dot com. campaigners for online freedom are set to hit the streets of europe to protest against new copyright tricky signed by governments across the continent but the anti counterfeiting trade agreement or actor won't come into force until it's been ratified by the european parliament and that's what activists want to prevent saying you would or would in danger free speech and that privacy the protests will be staged in several european capitals stock is one of the bottom is that. the streets may be snowy but here in sweden the heat is being turned up in that most modern of political debates surrounding internet freedom protests have been called here in the capital as part of a wider reaction in europe and the us against laws perceived to infringe on the

public's access to the internet the people behind the law point out that it's important to try and protect the copyright of the people who make music to make video and distribute it around the world those against it say it's a wolf in sheep's clothing a way for governments to control their access to the internet and that it was held in secret but it was designed to be very punitive to those found breaching copyright rules if you say well everything should be free well perhaps no one will write any books produced music or fields etc. because it's not profitable clearly just the secrecy and how well how radical it was in the beginning or it seemed to be in the beginning. still lives on in people's view of it so people will. it will i'm sure the fight will go on. the formation of pirate parties not just here in sweden but elsewhere in europe is

evidence of how high the status of those internet freedom campaign is has risen and there's politics not just in the european parliament but also on the streets internet freedom campaigners are urging people to put their views across before the european parliament votes on this in june to try and stop the legislation before it's made but whether it's done in parliaments and in political boardrooms or on the street few expect this to be a calm debate. martin there now a clash of cultures in kurdistan now with the moderate indigenous practice of islam is being threatened by more radical turtles there are fears for the effect on everyday life in the central asian republic and prone to instability after two revolutions in the last few years of the what is oxana boycott the story. all. kneeling down but standing tall tens of

thousands of cougars man praying at the country's central square just underneath the lenin monument even in this bastard years the communist ideology couldn't bring to the streets as many people as a slum does nowadays. the fist of sacrifice is one of the most important rights for all muslims a unique prayer helped my skin almost be a logical lifestyle differences that exist among various branches of this one here in kurdistan. as they call country has become a testing ground for islamic missionaries of all kinds so who have the last in common with each other than they do with christians or jews buddhists people converted to islam in the seventeenth century but they were never designed us about it mixed with germany's and the magic customs the good news version of islam has long been more of a moral code then a religious doctrine in how cheap

a society where women are just as active and ambitious as men and when religiosity went hand in hand with good education but that is starting to change. after the collapse of the soviet union kurdistan has seen a very fast growth of islam some of it is the message really driven poverty poor education corruption mistrust of authorities all of that is putting people towards religion but much of it is also driven from abroad countries like pakistan saudi arabia kuwait a very generous when it comes to building mosques here. islam is on the rise across all of central asia but only in kurdistan have there the rich is adopted an open door policy by using. the these are followers of the to believe. a group of islamic missionaries originated from pakistan and its members have come up in many terrorism invested.
