and straight to the headlines i hear on t.v. as we come to you live from moscow back to the kremlin of lot of me putin becomes the first russian president to step in for a third term as he's inaugurated during a lot of. he said to leave the country for an unprecedented six years promising to make russia. and will unite. francois hollande wins a french presidency as he promises growth instead of. the falls under the weight of

from that. as he plans to fight against german led austerity measures big. buck rein arrests and leading human rights activists just days before his interview with julian assange right here on r.t. you can watch that controversial program here on changed. right now here and talk to dimitri medvedev. sums up the country's economic achievements over the past four years and if you dictate place shortly before today's inauguration. 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 dimitri mediated for his full term in office

our country very much thank you for being with us i'd like to begin with the economy both for the men to putin and to me to me to be to. have stated that there are a lot of problems obviously on the global economy to me to me today that in fact he said that he believes that it's already in depression do you share this pessimism in the global economy. right now in europe in recession american growth rates where it all global growth rates are very close to what we can call the recession also or depression. insufficient for sustainable development and sufficient for this illusion of global social issues and development issues and russia the part of the world is an open economy is also on their stress force the russian economy still growing decent rate of about four percent per annum and resource and experience already in fighting crisis and

fighting assertion you know what to do because this instruments. approach. the face. you for global depression 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 putin will be. the main challenge is to continue and there is fixation in modernization of the russian economy. where you put in mid video 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. 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 system our otherwise the social protection system will be under stress also and finally. and protection for property rights creating a comfortable investment climate. or the top of the gender of any president could implement which 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 mentioned 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 inflation is one of our major economic goals this is a precondition not to preserve microcosms to be in the chief sustainable growth rates last year inflation was about six percent this year reason place in under

four percent and we believe that we can achieve this target inflation to 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. our feet the target the budget deficit will be cut down the control of resources because instruments to keep your 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 for put into the budget still russia was 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 in the industry is not related to or incumbent active so there's occasional start that. nobody can argue against against that but oil prices. global market high and this is why the share nominal share 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 different sectors we have experience will face an agriculture in logistics in the financial sector. high tech industries h e. three recovered fully from from the crisis in the russian car market and the biggest in europe for our modernization start didn't fail we are on track. to continue this process need to focus on those things that we. in the past to continue the same policies and structures in the priority sector so the question can 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 have you ready to. continue to under president. bush and he all initiatives all the strategy has

been discussed with him here you proved all the things the government was a key vehicle to implement all the initiatives put forth by the by president need to be different and. all business investors. can be sure of that will not have any. change in the policy stance in the lead up to the election especially if 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 to be changed to be required but i'm going to market economics to be. a fulfillment of all social commitments the. friends that russian just lesion but to preserve stability when 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 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 going to our goods it has criticized the u.s. 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. you can't use because of concerns about some of the u.s. policies in the u.s. level of. public debt is. a problem for physical because in. years government president obama almost that we need to sort of date the budget need to keep finances under control. the same time they need to stimulate growth it's a trade off when. they face a difficult one but. they'll work within the g twenty and. shows that they will be able to do that and we will. continue.

the united states. political to. but also economy i didn't last for years major u.s. companies started to do business in russia invest in russia. but supposed 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 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 first time of the russian history in one thousand iraqis today. just to fight corruption was created now first time and again you have. to fight corruption interested in using this

legislation more and more people are punished. is corruption. and more and more people put in prison because of the corruption they are guilty. they are punished and more and more. being done to. create. genuine negative. one tolerance. to corruption. and to be very important because the fight corruption that accorded their courts thank you very much for saying that we are to thank you. i didn't.

now in two i saw a russia outclassed norway for two on sunday to make it to ins from two at the world championships in stockholm bubble that soup opened for the red machine early in the second period nice to nice office and doubled their lead but the norse won twice pulled themselves to within a goal in an action second frame for alexander but it netted russians fourth and last on the night right after the second break while reigning champions and co-host finland edge slovakia in crossing the. gulf now rory mcilroy has regained the world number one ranking despite losing in a playoff to rickie fowler at the wells fargo championship in north carolina mcelroy started the last day two shots off the pace but a final round of seventy was enough to leave him tied for the lead along with americans da point and fowler and all three went into a playoff. but it was foul or came out on track his second shot from the fairway

effectively sealing the win. most with four feet of the hole and as the rival departed for the bar sank his for birdie at the time for the title just over a million dollars in prize money. your point is to get guys down the stretch there you know looking forward playing is rare for a long time d. a good buddy of mine. thought going to make birdie here. while in seville italian francesco molinari has claimed the spanish title and in some style he started his final round four shots behind leaders simon dyson real to men with a super seven under par final round of sixty five to play an impressive three shot victory when dyson fell away badly with a round of seventy six dane soren chelsea finished tied for second it's kind of a one hundred kind of problem. because it was really good you know i. struggle with a lot of it especially yesterday so i just wrote to straight on to

a great start. so you know everything. was and is now moving on to basketball and after losing their previous certain games in n.b.a. playoffs the new york knicks finally have a win to celebrate as a magnificent forty one points from common around me help them beat the miami heat the final score was eighty nine eighty seven although miami still leave the series three one and could close that victory at home on wednesday elsewhere the boston celtics also just one win away from the second round following a one hundred one points to seventeen i think. philadelphia i've read the chicago bulls play three one series lead and the l.a. lakers also lead their series by the same scoreline after beating denver. late three pointers from steve wright and the money sessions. are going to give a lot of credit to all of our guys at different times i thought they all played

well and they all contributed. and steve blake made two huge stories you know we had shot the ball well from the three point line and they stepped up lately game got the pass and they just hit two huge threes that gave us some separation. and finally russia continues to make strides in the world of rugby following up last year's world cup debut with success at the glasgow sevens tournament in scotland where russia will making a guest appearance at the event as the country does not have for sevens world who is status but the team managed to beat spain in the slow to you final exam scored a try and kick for conversions in the thirty three nineteen victory much to the delight of coach and report in the main final news even beating them twenty nine fourteen to lead the overall seven standings with one round left to play. and that's what support for this bill is and more in a couple of hours until then i think.
