out overnight nicolas sarkozy falls under the weight of france's mounting debt as socialist leader francois along grabs the presidency spelling change than for the euro among the first steps the president elect is planning is to push back against german led 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 imagery that 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 mediated for his full term in office by dimmers thank you for being with us i'd like to begin with the economy both pledging to putin and dmitri medvedev. have stated that there are a lot of problems obviously on the global economy to meet their needs or that in

fact he said that he believes that it's already in depression do you share this pessimism of the global economy in the world right now in europe in recession american growth rates will all global growth rates very close to what we can call the recession also or depression. insufficient for sustainable development insufficient for this edition of global social issues and development issues in russia the part of the world is open the condom 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 to approach. the face. you for global depression

will really start you sound quite optimistic about russia's capability of being to deal with any further challenges what do you think the main challenges for the reports and will be. the main challenge is to continue their speculation and modernization of the russian economy. but you've put in the mid range of believes that. modernization of the russian economy is a must. have to do it otherwise russian economy will be. not really 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 him. to achieve our goal to stabilize relation last year we need to continue. the same pace saying the same policies

otherwise growth 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 and pension prices jim otherwise the social protection system will be under stress also and finally complete ition. and protection for property rights creation could comfortable investment climate. or the top of the gender of any president including for women which in how fast specifically do you think russia needs to grow to compete at the 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 reduce inflation is the task of poses russian central bank in the garment and. boss when you put in when he or the president lost to arm and present the 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 for under four percent we believe that we can achieve this target inflation will be lower than last year while probably higher 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 feet to the target the budget deficit will become under control because resources because instruments to keep budget. in the good shape russian that level is very low still below fifteen percent of g.d.p. so we believe that inflation will not be. put on the danger. even if all promises and we 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. the highest growth rates. we more interest in the industry is not related to or than gas income went after so. start that. nobody can argue against against that but oil prices. global markets high and this is why the share a 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 face in the culture in logistics in the financial sector in high tech industries pharmaceuticals. three colors forty from from the crisis in the

russian car market to now the biggest. europe. of the division start to fail we're on track and to continue this process need to focus on those things that we. in the past to continue the same policies and structures in the property sector so that action can do you think those policies will continue under putin and if yasser now how would you suggest businesses maybe prepare to keep going or have the results of that will be 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 you put forward by the by present me to be different and. all business investors.

and before that 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 for ordinary 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 into a big change to be a cheer is required but i'm going to muckrake comics to be richer in fulfillment of all social commitments the. friends the russian digitalisation but to preserve stability we need we need change if they could bicycle to move to preserve stability that you're going to approach in 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 due to

capital outflow as far as i understand do you think russia should install capital controls at some bric countries have done for protection and no we don't you think capital controls. if people. take money brought that means that the investment climate to russia is not good enough and we need to improve investment climate rather than destroy what we 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. . we. many countries have concerns about some of the u.s.

policies in the u.s. level of. that is a problem for for the global economy and us government president obama almost that they need to consolidate the budget there's a need to keep finances and the under control. the same time they need to stimulate growth it's trade the friend that 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 but if you call security but also economy i do the last four years major u.s. companies started to do business in russia invest in russia and that's opposed to

what about corruption putin has called corruption the main play of the russian economy meter maid of 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 businesses 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 in the russian history. one thousand year history of. the fight corruption was created now first time and again you have to just ration to fight corruption interested using this legislation more and more people are punished. is corruption. and once more people are put in prison

funny we will end with football the women's game in iran received a massive boost in march after faith lifted their five year ban on players wearing head scarves this left the international taking free once again to play in global tournament some rich and poor family 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 three thirty in two thousand and seven out will play is wearing headscarves due to safety concerns i mean from iran and 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 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 also bill crow was used instead of metal pins

the fastback head scarf 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 but the school could die out of the country as top players were able to appear in major competitions however through this new exciting generation they're now given opportunities but the breed assesses never happened and those players are certainly making the most of the brand new found freedom to play internationally though it was a long process to overturn peter's decision about him up with the move and it will spend a lot of time trying to convince the fire that there was no problem whatsoever in playing and he were really happy that they overturned the ban and that we can now play in headscarves and i can tell you that wearing the job doesn't affect our player's performance and we're just so happy that we can now compete in international competition. football is developing. quickly in iran and there is now a finding domestically with a number of competitions there are around fifty thousand women playing before bowl

version of foods are 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 in early goal up they went on for a venture lose two one but the head coach says it's all part of a learning curve. russia was in iran two months ago and the results of the first two friendly matches there is are was a good two and one zero for russia but today actually. we really wanted to win this time but i think the. russian 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 with women now free to play the

sport can hopefully continue its rapid development in the country and worldwide richard i'm told me don't see much going. so that's how the sport looks for a moment more until last time. well the. story is technology innovation all the least of melanin still around russia we've got the future covered.
