a mystery for scholars throughout centuries why is it such a challenge for thinkers these days up till these days everything is revealed now it's now it's a good challenge they were still in charge i was still in charge of well. you know first thousands of years it was such an insulated isolated place that others didn't come in and it's only been relatively in recent years that a lot of people tried to i myself have been going there for forty four years since nine hundred sixty seven but that's new for westerners to spend so much time there were two did before but now they're all over the place although i think the western report is not very good about china but there are a lot of people there and my wife and i have been going there for the last ten years and but it's still kind of a mystery it's because of their language it's because it's a country now with no ideology and someone said the other day that history was

their religion in china and i think that's true in a sense that that's the only thing that really holds everything together now and not the only thing but you know. they have that kind of reverence for their history which they know so well through through all of the dynasties and so on and which the west has always a zero information about and that's why it's a big mystery you touched upon the ideology and the side of that china has no ideology but how good is it to be a country without an ideology when you're starting to be a superpower isn't just enough to. sir send a message only about economic prosperity without any other ideology well there's some concern about that but china didn't have an ideology before communism really. they've been arrayed confucius and but that's that's the only religion of this kind of a code of living so there are people searching in different directions the united states

for example doesn't have a ideology i mean really. you know there's the american dream and so on but you know the people have all kinds of ideologies all kinds of religious face and so and they're all over the place and i guess the only thing that reveals everyone together is. the idea that there's freedom in the united states and you can make yourself or you can and so forth and a little bit is is involved now in china to was not a question everyone asks themselves is china socialism or is it a car at all is a you know they're not even talking in terms of ideology but in terms of regime it's not socialism but it's socialism and chinese characters now if you can figure out what that means that would be that would help a lot because no one knows what it means it's not a socialist country it's not a communist country but you know here we're sitting in russia i think about this at the end of the last century two great countries gave up communism russia and china

and what's happened china is number number two in the world economically russians will stuck in the mud by day and energy too much energy in their economy and too little energy in their people and neither they'd like way behind are these two countries that gave up the communist in their history study i don't think it's been done but it's certainly an interesting question. how did china do it and and why this pressure couldn't do it why do you as russia's not done so to speak but we just brought up an interesting point us toward the bric countries killed it. hip hop was china's growth can that be a problem for countries that china is developing so rapidly let's put this in context china has gone from a hundred forty seventh in the world to number two in the economy in a row in the last thirty three years but the u.s. economy is still four times bigger u.s. economy is way up here and there clustered together are china germany and japan way

down here and in. only one fourth or one third the size of the u.s. so the u.s. only has to get a couple of percentage points or three percentage for that in china could still call it eight or nine which are probably won't but for for for for it to be a long time arithmetic way you can figure it out before china catches up if it ever does you know regardless all the credit with china does face some major problems like gender inequality income inequality corruption and by mental issues could that undermine the growth well you know all of these problems and these these are the problems of china are talked about and written about in newspapers and magazines and in speeches all over china all the time this is totally open china. that their biggest problem is the growing inequality the growing income gap between urban and

rural. and the answer your question is no because it's so so openly talked about and we monitor it with our institute in india and we monitor all of the provinces in the newspapers and all the provinces the two biggest issues that are in the story of pages and the news pages are corruption and the environment and dealing dealing with both of those these are issues that are not hidden these are the most talked about face in china and the leadership the broad china this. or is that leadership that you have to imagine and can and can continue to deal with those problems and can. do a little better job as it goes along now let's talk and parallelism as china is slowly growing ties with weaker asia and african countries the kind of aid the

chinese giving to africa and to some other countries differs very greatly from what the west did when the west was giving it was it was a government to government you know who knows what happened in the money the chinese make a deal they say here's the deal we will build you an airport we will beat you in a sports stadiums and so forth and you agree to sell us or the energy we need at market price. and it's the africans many africans describe as a win win. range meant versus what the west has been doing with their aid programs all these years so china is absolutely connected to that africa as well as as well as asia because of how smart they've been in the arrangements they have to to create win win situations for those countries so its economy only and not their will to evolve into or encourage states to build an empire you know the china china

it's never been an acquisition or country to begin with but they're making their arrangements and their deals not to acquire anyone or to build an empire but to it's mostly on an economic basis to to to assure themselves of the resources that they need for the rapid growth they are experiencing and they are in our view will continue to experience so here's what also many people think that with this economic and military prowess china is poised to become the center of the new small type pollo world it's an ultimate lot of multiple polar world and by the way there they have been building their military but it's still you know the u.s. has a military that's equal to all the other militaries of the world put together and i've heard of we've heard a lot of talk about multi i call the world but last century it was the soviet union us this century to be very simple minded about this century is the us and china

that bipolar that world is going to be dominated by the bipolar connection of china and the u.s. and people will make countries will make decisions and calibrate their their actions against what they perceive will be the response of the u.s. and or china that there will be a bipolar world. replacing the soviet union u.s. but on a very different basis so no war no i guess a cold war but sort of a cold war but with the soviet union on an ideological bent basis with china on economic what do you think china's strategy is in relations to russia china. it well here's the i'll summarize the strategy for russia is the biggest producer of oil in the world china is the biggest consumer consumer of energy in the world that

dictates the strategy. thank you very much for this interview thank you very much. join me on a journey to the heart of the kremlin to a place is hidden from the tourists you're going to meet some real credible insiders although they may not be the usual news makers you see on t.v. .

a superb sixty percent average from the field this year since. i. that the american football world has been rocked with the news that one of the n.f.l.'s best players of the one nine hundred ninety s. has passed away former chargers dolphins patriots linebacker junior seau how dying is californian home aged forty three from what appears to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the chest seo started his career nine hundred ninety thing for san diego until two thousand and two he led the chargers to the team's only super bowl appearance in one thousand nine hundred four a loss to the san francisco forty nine ers see how tragically becoming the if member of that nearest want to die prematurely he'd made the n.f.l. it's all decade team of the ninety's before retiring for good in two thousand and. five. sources holmes says words routes were. any couldn't do enough off the field for the youth and anybody could help he helped and i think people will

remember him for that and they should. ice hockey finally russia finished their preparations ahead of the world championships which faceoff on friday the red machine boosted with a strong reinforcement from the n.h.l. including if gainey malkin and public meaning gold is very much team. it's a needle i believe dealer has now been in charge of the russian national ice hockey team for almost a year and the world championship will be the biggest test for the coach so far despite the fact that russia's main aim is building a team for their home olympics in twenty fourteen winning the world title would act as a huge confidence boost ahead of those searching games if the team plays like i want them to play hell be satisfied which should see the tech six we're supposed to be applying however the result is very important as well if we have a soul a team ready to battle we will achieve a good result the red machine has already received reinforcements from the n.h.l.

the colorado avalanche simone barlow of seems to be the first choice between the pipes while the n.h.l. is best forward you game that is worth being wins will surely add more goals to the team staley and the detroit red wings center bottled up soup will join the side in sweden but neither marking not at soup has yet to leave to the world championship trophy but we're good friends with doug zuckerman it's good that detroit were knocked out of the stanley cup and he can join the team he's one of the best players in the world it's a pleasure to play alongside him and hopefully we'll get a positive result this time millie dean of still hasn't named his final roster and has a reserve of three places four players from north america whose teams will be eliminated in the second round of the playoffs however nothing can stop russia's youngest forward. from going to his first ever world championship. in nineteen year old is often compared with him and that there was playing in the same line at the

training camp but if it malkin is a great player and of course i'd love to play with him and that would be an honor for me to be in the same line as him but it's up to the coaches to decide the red machine faces in their opening said a d. two of the world championship and as usual russia are among the favorites with a new ish coach behind the bench and a solid rooster on the ice can tell you about out of archie. not his all your sports my pole scott will be here in just under two hours time with more but now here on twenty four hour days the weather. well the. science technology innovation all the latest developments from around russia we've got the future covered.
