egypt's talker square against military rule and delay in announcing presidential election results live video you're looking at from tahrir square right now this as the ruling generals blame the muslim brotherhood's claim of electoral victory for rising tension. as the st petersburg international economic forum continues eva's troubles continue as well we've been asking the views of the russian president's chief of staff said even off on this and other issues at the gathering of leading political and business figures that's coming your way next stay with us. given the precious presidential administration it's great to have you with us sir today thank you good evening so russia is among other countries that will help you

are p. and union through i.m.f. do you think such going financially texas will actually approve a sector of the how long is russia actually willing to help bail out countries in debt well as for russia's help it's limited of course and we are interested in eurozone stay stable because as president putin has already mentioned forty percent or. europe's who are interested in. not only financially stable eurozone i would like to stress that point but that european parliament european leaders basically of course germany and france take responsible decisions during the roots of the crisis not poor thing money to stop that for a short but fighting their roots i think it's in fact it's none of my business but i think european union has to impose more strict.

policy on that on unemployment and on credits because even if their external debt is huge for example russia's external debt is nine percent g.d.p. in some of the european countries in europe zone it's more than one hundred so you can't continue that tendency you have to stop which you know many say that russia actually researched out of the global financial crisis better than other he rippin countries what kind of. advantage doesn't give us now the huge huge market potential development i was put it that way many people say that we have a blessing of oil and gas or natural resource my private opinion it's not a blessing it's a kiss. because that blessing doesn't motivate you to diversify what makes you so sure that he will make the break now it's been taking so long

well diversifying a huge economy such as russia's it would never take you a couple of years older you shouldn't expect miracles that are quite a number of regions in russia plus two on the pressure and it depends not all on the federal government it depends hugely on the local government eager to really attract investors are they making the investment climate very predictable. defended from the some sort of floor and force an agency is still the justice system is not very effective corruption. that's about it that's the basics of negative points which we still have to mend. those speaking about corruption by the way and turning back to the g twenty summit.

asking for more money as an aid tools what would you do cynical third world countries. is not very effective because corruption in the third world i'm sure is. much bigger than it is in russia and. i lived in africa so i know what i'm talking about sarah no i would like to go back just a little bit about the oil dependency i mean as of today russia is still largely dependent on oil revenues but you know some say that did to the lack of the global growth the experienced a drastic falling oil prices what happens to russia's budget if let's say oh prices fall down one hundred dollars mark do you have a plan b. . what do. tell me about if. it's sort of simple. first of all we already have some experience after the previous crisis two thousand and eight two thousand and nine. secondly foreign reserve currency reserves the

biggest in the world there are five hundred twelve billion dollars then we have a national reserve fund and we have future generations fund. combined it's close to one trillion dollars so we have. some money in case the bad case scenario happens. but of course we have also co-equal the state subsidies system which we have tried and proved effective two years ago though i would like to be overoptimistic and promise you that we are told to liberate first to wall. and set into is that it's impossible to calculate the implications for example of a huge oil price drop or some real big crisis in europe that too many unknowns but also the last two months they've been very notable for currency

fluctuation and that has made a lot of people nervous and we have to have a rest a central bank come out and say don't worry this has already happened to their will before but many people don't think it's fair that i think what example by the way that's a very good example people and this is a real there are meant to people don't panic they don't rush to banks and. currency corridor we call it a currency corridor which is the central bank now. it's much wider than it has been before which is a very good sign that whatever the foreign investors why should they still feel sure about the ruble at this point the basic reason is very simple. they believe already and. most of huge funds like for example black rock or kuwaiti fund they believe that our policy is transparent it's stable it's very predictable

the kuwaiti fund which is most respectable oldest and trusted in the world for the first time in its history. gave the russian. direct funds. direct fund. five hundred million dollars alone say that you can use this money for any project which your role in the best inside russia. and those projects that are not natural resources or toll it's called mineral service it's trade retail infrastructure logistics. which is a very good sign for world investors and they think that political climate and political cause is also correct that democracy is developing and that democracy is developing in their natural evolution really way not in a revolutionary way that's why they just stay calm talking about political climate

there is they have a lot of criticism lately following the harsh new legislations that will actually implement penalties against on local meetings on the phone gatherings many see this as a crackdown on freedom of speech and freedom of gathering a sadly how do you see this how do you assure a peaceful nature of opposition gathering without and raging a large part of the society what you have just said oh i consider it i considered it as a great load of rubbish i lived abroad for many years as a spy and i know what i'm talking about in fact we use now in financial terms this you would best practices oh a little less legislation about meetings and demonstrate. since it's based on the best old practices. it doesn't ban any demonstration it gives sort of illegal legal basis how to conduct them how

to carry them to carry them out and i know that in your u.k. in the united states of america it's more of the same laws and it does mean that we're trying to curb democracy. if you want to say something against the government it's a purely democratic thing and you are most welcome on the other side i wouldn't. i would like to remind you that there are. quite a number of people who support the government who supports the president and they showed it up during the presidential campaign effect the number of people who marched or demonstrated in favor of the government was my just bigger than the opposition that the opposition numbers and what is most important psychologically to people and never motivated to go outside to support the government. they're

motivated always to go and march against the government is psychology of practice you know the biggest number of the opposition gatherings probably one hundred thousand which is nothing on the scale of russia but eve has cost such advice globally i mean you have no livelihood is on a list of hundred list of flesh and people in the world times list why do you think it has resulted so rigorously throughout the world i wouldn't agree that it's called a bust worldwide it caused the buzz in some political sphere which i'm interested in calling this a buzz and as for different lists my i'm. skeptical about the arch afraid that this may trigger the grosser looming i mean after all they're promising to bring out millions in a street in september what measures will the government take in that case only if those demonstrations. are legal and. normal

practice is without any fights without well ations laws that it's it's it's normal it's democracy it's called democracy it's the one else had a presence on the special thank you thank you and nice to me too. wealthy british soil the sun. rises from time to time. markets why not come to. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike stronger for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune in to kaiser report

with us here on r.t. . hello again welcome to the sport and here's a taste of what is coming up daring to dream great had to take on board giants germany in the second quarter finals of the european championships plus draw a new number one toronto there is handed a favorable first round tie of wimbledon at the world's best players arrive at s w nineteen. the last word on the door yanker no pedro reason for calling time when he's in the film scoring. that start there with the european championships where germany are expected to make major changes to their lineup for tonight's quarter final with grace german media reporting the top scorer gomez will start on the bench along with fellow striker lucas but don't see an midfielder tom a smaller place marco. closer will start upfront with deputizing in midfield

germany have never lost against the greeks and won all their group games to get this far but. isn't getting carried away with the favorites tag and before nine years team said he's well aware upsets can happen. right very small small favorites in the match tomorrow of course we're favorites that's logical but i think that's clear i mean we can live with that we also know that knockout games have their own character so from their point of view the favorite does not automatically go through to the next round we saw that the russians were the big favorite against the greeks and we saw what happened there i think when the match starts it doesn't play a role. but of greece are to produce the shock of the tournament they will have to do it with their main man captain bulis patagonia's he is suspended for tonight's game and his teammates know that's a big loss just. course we have to see we're really going to miss george tomorrow he's our captain he's this. of this team so if it's going to be me

or someone else taking the lead it doesn't matter what is important all the players to be healthy and try to compensate for the absence of george altogether and try to get the best out of this match. germany and greece have not seen eye to eye politically recently but great fans are optimistic their team will earn some credit on the pitch tonight with more for good and his rich. what a difference a week makes there was seven days ago greek fans were so convinced their team was going to be knocked out of the group stages many had to really book their flights home straight after their final game with russia however they produced a stunningly disciplined performance to shock to catholic outside and prolong their stay in poland and ukraine for another week i am as a ready talk of the spirit of two thousand and four but despite being massive underdogs greece won the european championships being repeated again i think

a lot we didn't have one in two thousand and four i think probably not believing in us winning or have the possibility to win but we have today so i think it's good i think the greek players are playing for greece right now would give us some more hope for something to be happy about despite the driving rain which kept most fans indoors there were a few greek fans roaming the streets of the dance but not as many supporters are here but it would have liked to have been this game is being played on the backdrop of a car and european economic crisis and its particular significance for both sides as germany has been a major player in helping to bail out greece. i'm a german chancellor angela merkel is to attend the game but the country's head coach was quick to draw a line between politics and football. as for the little situation is concerned angela merkel and the national team are in very good. green and that she will not

interfere with my technical instructions but by the same talking i will not deal with the political agenda as we are concerned normal sporting contest and that's the end of it there were plenty of germans of this historical city and for good reason many banks on the team finishing top of the group and rugby gambled on their side playing the quarter final here in fact the dance has more of the german feel so it's the. looking at its historical center and the reason is because it was actually german up until nine hundred forty five the city was known as done sick and was part of germany however following the second world war it became part of poland nevertheless for german fans are certainly enjoying their stay here to beautiful city here but the weather is not so fine for us but we enjoy it germany have once again taken up routing good bands but this time it's only temporary you can lowside have held a training base here since the beginning of the tournament and they'll certainly be

they beat oklahoma one hundred twenty one points two hundred sixty four one series win bron james scoring twenty six points for miami and claiming his first ever and be a. you know years later. years later is up to draft. the right word to do short. you know. a lot of work to do it occasionally. the whole purpose or so oh so you're screwed. and watched it with basketball because the moscow have unveiled a tortie messina is then you coach three years after he left the army men for trade and keeping star player under the kind of lanka at the club is his priority constantine for top off as the story. when it had to remain senior left says in two

thousand and nine he mentioned that he would return one day and their day finally came as the fifty two year old detail in answer to that press conference with a smile and the railing him as an army man coach for the next three years. it's very important that we. look at the what happened before like a motivation and like a way because we know that. how we can try to have success but it would not be automatic top of his list of things to do is persuade him to ask our star men to stay apart from former you are just a man under a killer lenka others are also looking for a move to the n.b.a. and the man on stage. and then get a vote on save each also go messina will have a big rebuilding job on his hands and the way he is using a great player and we all hope that he will decide to stay if he's decision we wait

we have four players connected with the n.b.a. they might leave all four maybe he has maybe no previously messina head for glorious years in charge it says cut winning to you really in two thousand and six and two thousand and eight and for domestic championships marking one of the most successful arrows in the club's history since then he's also been a consultant for the l.a. lakers and in towns to use his experience of the n.b.a. to good effect the best team in the n.b.a. have transition office they don't play only off court they play with the floor let's say ok and this is what we try to do when when i was here to play the euroleague matches at the fourteen thousand seat it mega sports arena and next season and the famed coach to return will undoubtedly help boost attendance his but it's not just the fans and club officials who are happy messina's family are also getting excited when i said to him with my wife who said papa is going to be caught

in tesco again so we go back to moscow. can i meet cute. sure sure so everybody seems content at this stage but it won be child's play from messina the club have failed to win the euro league since he made them european champions back in two thousand and eight but they must give way to believe they have the man to return them to the top constantine but out of our team. not is always spoke we've got time for for the moment so we've got the weather coming up next. the question is that so much could be you going to make a lot of people here are you not burgundy here all right the never ending agony of the european union we are to the problem come from and just anyone have any solution.
