already it's all rest a leading human rights activist one of the chief figure sinatra's uprising it happened just days before his interview with julian assange airs on r t i thought the controversial cell here on tuesday. next which are to me to me sums up the country's economic achievements over the past four years the interview took place shortly before today's inauguration. to me that means 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 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. have stated that there are a lot of problems obviously on the global economy to meet their needs where that 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 will all global growth rates very close to what we can call the recession also or depression. insufficient for sustainable development and sufficient for this illusion of global social and development issues and to the part of the war is an open economy is also on their stress force so the russian economy still growing could do some three to 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 will really start. you sound quite optimistic about rush of capability of being to

do with any further challenges what do you think the main challenges for them will be. the main challenge is to continue and there is speculation in 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 rational 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 relations last year we need to continue. in the same place same way 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. pension system otherwise the social protection system will be under stress also and finally in computing. and protection for property rights creating a comfortable investment climate. or the top of the agenda of any president could implement which 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 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. put in when he or the president last tournament present video if you nonce that conflation is one of our major economic goals this is a precondition 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 become under control because resources because instruments keep poor 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're going to fulfill all those promises. all those promise food 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 the incumbent after so. start that. nobody can argue against against that but oil prices. global market high and this is why the share in nominal share for oil. is still very high but what is really important is that more and more people more and more resources are being directed to two different sectors because experience will face an agriculture in logistics in the financial sector. high tech industries pharmaceuticals. three recovered fully from from the crisis in the russian car market to know the

biggest in europe. of the musicians start didn't fail we are 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 a priority sector so that russia can do you think those policies will continue under putin and if you have so now how would you suggest businesses maybe prepare to keep going or have you got it all into the field 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 a key vehicle to implement all the initiatives put forth by the by present 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 a cheer is required but i'm going to market economists to be richer in fulfillment of all social commitments. from 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 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 as some bric countries have done for protection don't you think controls. if people. take money brought that means that the investment climate to russia is not good enough and we need to improve the investment climate rather than destroy what we already achieved and to new 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 have concerns about some of the u.s.

policies in the u.s. level of public debt. in four years of global. u.s. government president obama almost that we need to sort of date the budget there's a need to keep finance asunder under control. the same time they need to stimulate growth it's a different. they face it's a difficult one but. for the reasons the g twenty and three. shows that they will be able to do it. we will. continue. obviously united states. but it's a cool security but also economy by doing so last for years 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 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 systemic problem in the russian and first time of the russian history. one thousand here he is today. just to fight corruption was created. first time and again. to fight corruption interested using this legislation more and more people are punished. it is corruption. and more and more people put in prison because of the corruption they are guilty

and they are punished and more and more. being done to. create a genuine negative. among tolerance. to corruption. and this very important to condition to fight corruption accorded their courts thank you very much for saying that we are to thank you.

let's just say.

. and i welcome to the final line as well round up and here the top story is. basement battles clueless about self when to deliver and also move away from the relegation play offs off to do signs tallman spot. in the russian premier league. while to the while the english premier league title race goes down to the last day after leaders manchester city and rivals united both claim victories just a goal difference between them. and back to the top rory mcilroy reclaims goal small number one ranking despite losing in a playoff to rickie fowler at the wells fargo championship. but let's kick off with football on the curious events of have climbed out of the relegation play offs own otway to no way that in the russian premier league well and. not on off school each

side of the interval really is survival chances some are aside and now unbeaten in nine games and have won four out of the last five however there is one more much to go to this season and really i just two points from safety. for their own common sponsor not chicks settle for a one one draw in their basement battle both sides are already relegated so have little to play for but. he could use some cracking goals. open for business drilling in a style that with fourteen minutes gone but his effort to. this council that anybody i can in we closing minutes of the first hour. no more goals followed after the break we'll take hail storm to break out a bit of a dam on the match and spot sac remained rock bottom a point behind tom. well on sunday ten months spots like moscow spoil the celebrations of newly crowned champions and by winning three to incent petersburg to go second and then to the last champions league spot was

a major look to finish their home campaign in style and alexander put them in front after twenty minutes with the goal of the twelve shots the game turned on its head in the final twenty minutes first dino's for spot such as the russian field is this go for the red white since joining from everton in the winter then is a neat were awarded a penalty and said case and not just the goalkeeper to make it to one bottle just two minutes later and on monday in one of them an eighty foot spot at level again. and then immediately so i thought to virtual red card for what the referee ruled was this obscene gesture well however despite that loss of a. slotted home sponsor in eighty nine minutes before they leap contest got into second but the defeated didn't stop izumi from smiling at the end of the day with the belief trophy and celebrated that title defense.

but also added i must have missed the chance to go second despite having a last gasp two two draw at home to look mighty maximillian i have opened the lock on the hof hour with his maiden premier league old. kevin kranti equalise straight off to the end of a cracking overhead kick the germans try to. however with ten minutes to go these goals had it had to be to be a squeeze cross to put the visitors back in front. but it's a long range strike from inform doesn't miss him a bit in the last minute ensured it finished to do them in the trial surprised by a point but have only one game left to play all the army men have to. and in the hunt for law and he came from behind to be redeemed three one and will play in the europa league next season to get out of redirected allen because they

have crossed a school that is disinvestment and many said. it was only an injury after that smog received equalised after fourteen minutes of really defending particularly well. and then only our winter signing christopher salmon noted in from a corner to be a two one lead. and then to sign as i was also on the scoresheet cameron strike i still think i'm a beauty from the time i tangle with a minute to go before doing his now customary in these celebrations one for sitting side up to fifth and we're heading to europe while robin turned their sights to the russian cup final and will face the number this wednesday. so after a lot of this is how it looks at the top of the tables in each of the champions bennett spots i can cling on to the second champions league spot with the guy left to play however tesco could reply in minutes when they play their game in hand against on tuesday. and she should you rightly football next season.

and i really believe as much the city moved one step closer to their first top flight crown since nine hundred sixty eight after winning two nil at newcastle in the premier league ja to a score twice in the last twenty minutes to ensure the title is city's to lose with one game left to go while manchester united beats one zero to nil to stay level on points with city but with an eight goal inferior goal difference and elsewhere ten man total missed the chance to go third after coming back to draw one wanted struggling aston villa the bolton chances of avoiding the drop were dented off the west brom came from two goals down to draw two to beat sunderland two want already relegated milner with inform everton and substitute djibril cisse a q.p.r. survival hopes with the late when i can start the west london side go to manchester city on the last day of the season. needing a win to be sure of survival while city needed a treat to be sure the title. i think if you were game

before a game would be made. to bring the images of something. monday night second bottom brotman who are six points from safety host four spots in wigan in a real relegation dogfight drivers have lost six of the last seven league matches but have never lost at home to the last six and must win the last two games to have any chance of staying up while we can have won five of the last seven games including victories over newcastle all snow manchester united and liverpool. but also out want to football's horses prospects neymar has been showing off his skills the twenty year old brazil struck up a brace soundest one three you know at that army in sao paolo to take a first leg in the championship final double header and he found time for some showboating in between those two goals a number of top european clubs are reportedly hunting for neymar but he's pledged to stay in his native brazil at least until the twenty fourteen world cup. balance

the ice hockey world championships and. golf is back in training for rush hour after a short illness while canada have triumphantly bounced back from such with a stinging overtime defeat to the usa the olympic champions crushed bronze seventy two in helsinki patrick shot with a go to man that is one goal for assists while the czech republic needed a penalty shootout to overcome brazilian norway alice penske getting the job done for the czechs meanwhile the usa a trailing against the slovakia and sweden have scored four goals within ten minutes as the coyotes are aiming to maintain that one hundred percent record against denmark. gulf now and henri mcelroy has regained the world number one ranking despite losing in a playoff to rickie fowler at the wells fargo championship in north carolina well michael roy started the last day to show. the place but a final round of seventy was enough to leave him tied for the lead along with americans da point. two three went into

a playoff but it was fowler who came out on top his second shot from with a right effectively seeing the wind as his ball rolled to within four feet of the hole. and as his rivals to put in football foul that sank his 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 playing is rare for a long time good body mind great guy and thought to make thirty year while in seville italian francesco molinari has claimed the spanish open title and in some style these started his final round four shots behind leader simon dyson realty men with a super seven under par for a round of sixty five to play an impressive three shot victory while doesn't fall away badly with a round of seventy six seven kelson finished tied for second it's time to try to

have the kind of bout as a problem. because it was really good you know i play very well all week i struggle with the putting it is a bit especially yesterday so i just tried to stay calm to go off to a great start the ball very well so you know everything easy even if it wasn't and finally to the relatively new sport of sky running where intrepid athletes run up mountains and however exhausting that sounds it's also not as simple as it seems because a simple tough reports. it's not the first time sky rolling disciplines have taken to the slopes of europe's highest mountain elbrus five thousand six hundred forty two meters above sea level however it's the first time the mountain has become a stage of the world series stop sky runners gathered here to take one. in one of the most spectacular events of the sport one of these is the vertical kewl meter where the competitors climb one thought was

a new nurse these times the distance was a round two and a half kilometers while for the weather and snow on the course made the event even more challenging the race turned out to be a battle between the two brightest stars of sky ronnie mark i guess barry and. saga thirty five year old guest barry managed to claw with victory climbing first to the finish line with a new record in the race. around here. especially when you're under snow and you can run aged such a hard race. because you know there's no he says leap or a end but anyway you know i enjoyed the course he was only foggy until this beauty that you can't see the landscape from here while his fellow spanair was second to finish one minute behind not that i enjoyed competing with biggest perry

as i always do but he was at his best i was leading me to way through the race and even thought i could grab the gold but take a spare was just better today and over to create a. third was a brushless guy running champion aleksandr. to the delight of the home crowd italian the guest barry was the quickest in the vertical kilometer at their opening stage of the world serious how it can be called just a warm up ahead of the sky race where the competitors will run up to the mountain summit on may the ninth. of r.t. two thousand three hundred meters above sea level they'll bruce mountain. and that is all the sports news i found.

back to the problem one was even told and becomes the first russian president to step in for a third term as he's inaugurated during a lavish ceremony. and the only way you could have these celebrations buton the new measures intended to make the government more transparent and interactive. francois hollande wins the french presidency as he promises growth instead of austerity while nicolas sarkozy falls under the weight of france's mounting debt. a leading human rights activists just days before his interview with julian a song airing on our t.v. you can watch that controversial show here on tuesday.
