watched the explosion show. falls under the weight of. this leader francois long grabs the presidency spelling change than for the eurozone among the first steps the president elect is planning to push back against austerity measures. next we talked to the russian presidential aide who sums up the country's economic achievements and goals of the past four years ahead of a change at the top later today. to me that means if it is leaving the kremlin. back at the top what does this mean for russia and its global partners well joining me to discuss that is our carded our core which presidential aide to dmitri mediator for his full term in office very much thank you for being with us i'd like to begin with the economy both for the

man to putin and dmitri medvedev. have stated that there are a lot of problems obviously in the global economy to meet their needs rated in fact he said that he believes that it's already in depression do you share this pessimism of the global economy. right now in europe in recession american growth rates very low global growth rates very close to what we can call the recession also or depression. insufficient for sustainable development insufficient for this illusion of global social issues and development issues and russia the part of the war in the quantum is also under stress but first the russian economy still growing could decent rate of about four percent per annum and resource and experience already fighting crisis and fighting recession you know what to do because this instruments.

approach that we could face if. you for global depression will really start you sound quite optimistic about russia the capability of being to deal with any further challenges what do you think the main challenges for puts it will be. the main challenge is to continue their speculation and modernization of the russian economy. where you put an image of believes that. modernization of the russian economy is a must. have to do it otherwise russian economy will be. not very compatible in the global environment other countries will be in competition and this challenge is. under stress given unstable demographic station we were able to in. well to stabilize the

relation last year we need to continue. same pace same with the same policies otherwise. rates will go down and we will not be able to resolve our long term issues also we'll have to reform health sector education sector. pension prices jim otherwise the social protection system will be under stress also and finally complete ition. and protection for property rights creating a comfortable investment climate. or the top of the gender of any president could implement pushing how fast specifically do you think russia needs to grow to compete as a top five a commie depending on the growth rates in other countries or competitors from five to seven percent growth rates will be sufficient to enter the top five global

economies will russia do you think under vladimir putin be capable of keeping inflation at four percent. that's what it is now you mention this puts you made a lot of promises during this campaign will you be able to keep that four percent and. kind of keep spending. in line reducing inflation is the task of poses russian central bank in the garment and. most were put in when he was the president last tournament present video if you nonce that edition conflation is one of our major economic goals this is a precondition to preserve microcosms to be rooted in the chief sustainable growth rates last year inflation was about six percent this year reason place in under four percent we believe that we can achieve this target inflation will be lower than last year while probably higher than during the first quarter of this year

given the expected increase in tariffs being humiliated by by the state the important thing is to keep the budget. in balance and. all promises that were put in. made as a candidate for the presidency. are fit into the target the budget deficit will become under control because resources because instruments keep budget. in the good shape russian that level is very low still below fifteen percent of g.d.p. thought we believe that inflation will not be. put on the danger. even if all promises are going to fulfill all those promises.

all this promise from put into the budget still russia relies very heavily on oil and gas exports obviously does that mean that president medvedev modernization plan has failed at least to diversify the economy during the last four years. growth rates. we more interest in the industry is not related to or than gas income went to sector so their situation started and. nobody can argue against that but oil prices. global markets high and this is why the share nominal share or oil. is still very high. but what is really important is that more and more people more and more resources are being directed to into my different sectors we have experienced a little place in the culture in logistics in the financial sector in high

tech industries eighty. three colors forty from our from the crisis in the russian car market and now the biggest. europe. arm of the musicians start to fail we are on track and to continue this process need to focus on those things that we. in the past so to continue the same policies and structures in the priority sectors of the russian home do you think those policies will continue under putin and if yes or no how would you suggest businesses maybe prepare to keep going or having regard to that. continued under president. bush and he's all initiatives all the strategy has been discussed with him here you proved all the things the government was key vehicle to implement all the

initiatives that been put forward by the by president made a video and. all business investors. can be sure that i will not have any. change in the policy stance. in the lead up to the election especially there was a lot of talk about stability do you think. that also ford and ari people that this kind of pulls away from this so-called energy curse and how big of a challenge it is to really diversify the economy it would be changed to be a cheer is required but and when a mockery comics to be richer in fulfillment of all social commitments the. friends the russian digitalisation but to preserve stability would you change if they could bicycle to move to preserve stability that you're going to approach. russia was about three hundred billion dollars that's approximately three fourths

of its annual budget since two thousand and eight obviously when president medvedev took office it's duty capital outflow as far as i understand do you think russia should install capital controls at some bric countries have done for protection we don't need any capital controls. if people. take money brought that means that the investment climate of russia is not good enough and we need to improve the investment climate rather than destroy what you already achieved and then you capital controls mean. that investment climate is going to be worse not better so we need to difference things to truck kept the records it has criticized the you asked for its credit transfer living beyond our means. and. basically. has said that he wants to avoid any kind of you know similar steps to

protect the economy do you think that's going to actually affect practical relations in terms of the economy with the u.s. law he has many countries have concerns about some of the u.s. policies in the u.s. level of. public debt is a problem for for the global economy and years government president obama almost that they need to consolidate the budget there's a need to keep finances some of the under control. the same time they need to stimulate growth it's it's a trade off when. they face it's a difficult one but. in the hour they'll look within the g twenty and three. shows that they will be able to do that and we will. continue. the united states in many areas political security but also economy i didn't last

four years major u.s. companies started to do business in russia invest in russia and that's opposed. what about corruption putin has called corruption the main plague of the russian economy. has talked about this for years businesses. and certainly people we've been talking to experts are looking forward to some kind of fight against this corruption but there's been a lot of statements about it when do you think business is and people can believe that these statements will become practical results not just statements corruption is clearly a systemic current problem in the russian and first time of the russian he's to do once i was in here he is to do. it just to fight corruption was created now first time and again you have. to fight corruption interest to using just a just solution more and more people are punished. is corruption.

and more and more people put in prison because of the corruption they're guilty and they're punished and more and more. seems being done to. create. genuine negative. non-target and. to corruption. and to be very important because to fight corruption accorded their courts thank you very much for saying that we are to thank you.

it was a neat look to finish the home campaign in style and alexander because you called put them in front of the twenty three minutes this is a hundred premier league goal of his career but the guy who's turned on his head in the final twenty minutes first didn't have any yet to know level for sparta it was the russian midfield this first goal for the red white since joining from every team in the winter. then zennie were awarded a penalty and surrogacy might just be the goalkeeper to make it to one but just two minutes later an unmarked emmanuelle and the nikkei put sparta level again. although he immediately saw a controversial red card for what the referee ruled was an obscene gesture however despite their loss rafael critique a lot of times thought i explained it in the eighty nine minute to be sure they proteus scarring to second place but the defeat didn't stop sinning smiling at the end i did receive the league trophy and celebrated that title defense.

of the hole. and his rivals two parted for paphitis sank his for a birdie for the title and just over a million dollars in prize money. you're playing against two great guys down the stretch there. you know looking forward for a long time dear good buddy of mine. to make birdie here francesco molinari claim the spanish open title in some style to you he started his final round four shots off the leader simon dyson but reel him in with a super final round of sixty five thousand seven hundred. victory dyson fell away badly with a round of seventy six while dane soren killed since finished tied for second with the spaniards are one hundred ten is out is that as a. really good you know. a little. bit especially when you're sort of saw it. they're off to

a great start. so you know everything easy even if it wasn't funny we will end with football the women's game in iran received a massive boost in march and after faith lifted their five year ban on players wearing head scarves this left the international team free once again to play in global tournament some richard paul fleet went to watch as they took on russia in moscow. it's been a frustrating five years for female footballers from iran a ruling by fi third in two thousand and seven out will play is wearing headscarves due to safety concerns women from iran are required to cover their head and neck the country's religious morals and the same applies to footballers with neither party willing to back down iran's women's olympic team were forced to pull out of a qualifier with jordan last year. however football's governing body finally

overturned their ban on players wearing the he job also bill crow was used instead of metal pins to fasten the headscarf so overcoming feet a safety concern when it's football is always been very popular in iran however before the ban was overturned there were actually fears about the sport could die out of the country as top players were unable to appear in major competitions however to this new excitement in generation then are given opportunities for the previous s's never had and those players a certainly making the most of the newfound freedom to play internationally though it was a long process to overturn people's decision about him up with the move and it will spend a lot of time trying to convince the father there was no problem whatsoever in playing and he does we're really happy that they overturned the ban and that we can now play in headscarves and they can tell you that wearing the job doesn't affect their player's performance and we're just so happy that we can now compete in international competitions and that football is developing quickly in iran and

there is now a fighting domestically with a number of competitions there around fifty thousand women playing before bowl. of food sol in iran while there are also a number of rising stars which will hopefully continue to develop the sport in the country. who wins foot solve team took on their russian counterparts and there were certainly some heavy challenges as both sides showed a lot of desire to win. unfortunately for iran despite going an early goal up they went on so then should lose two one but the head coach says it's all part of a learning. russia was in iran two months ago and the results of the four two friendly matches their result was a good two and one zero for russia but today actually. we really wanted to win this time but i think. russia have more experience than us

that's why overran didn't manage to win the most important thing was but they are competing on the international stage once again and women are free to play the sport can hopefully continue its rapid development in the country and worldwide richard i'm told we don't see moscow. so that's how the sport looks for a moment more into last time. well the. science technology innovation all the least of melanin still around russia we've got the huge earth covered.

russia would be so much brighter if you knew all about sun from fines to the pressure is. really.
