luke. and. i've been going down of the sun and good morning we will remember that we will. do that.

this is. top stories now the winner takes you to lose a standing small russian tycoon. is left empty handed down from london called dismisses his hefty little suit against the man of each. took his pitch for a syrian intervention his. the u.n.

nato countries warning they might simply bypass the security council. plus republican mitt romney except see this nomination as presidential candidate promise to show more backbone but critics say that that does not. mean that with another summary for in about fifteen minutes from now but in the meantime with the two presidential run is now officially named. talks to scholar and research ivan eland about the race for the white house that's next in our in-depth interview. what do you read into the g.o.p. . well conventions in the u.s. now are sort of a beauty contest they're not they used to be in the history they used to have a lot more effect than nominees actually chosen at the conventions but now we have a party primary and caucus system which does that so it's just sort of

a coronation of the nominee of the particular party and they script them pretty heavily romney has complete control over the conference convention there observe you ron paul supporters that kicked up a little bit but largely even ron paul is playing the game inside the party so you don't see hardly any disputes or anything like that over the platform or anything else and no surprises all all though romney started at the very beginning of his campaign was very rough there was a lot of combat this and a lot of other candidates who basically discredit him and yet now at the convention it seems as the g.o.p. just wants from need to be the president yes well they've all that's the tradition in american politics usually is they have about a battle during the primaries call each other all sorts of names criticize each other's policy and then all of a sudden you see people who are criticizing him before when he gets enough

electoral i mean convention delegates will flip and then start supporting him so is it romney's time they think now for the u.s. well usually they're on the republican side they they nominate the person who lost last time the next in line the democrats are a little bit more if he but but i think it basically comes down to these conventions and surf surface phenomena at the don't really mean much people who actually study elections in the u.s. say it's not really between two candidates it's a referendum on the current administration so you know they could have almost anybody running and the economy is bad and it's going to be very close but i think some of the models predict obama still eking it out of a. close victory but it's going to be close so those models could be off as well but i think obama has an intrinsic. advantage in the electoral college because in the united states you know we don't. as we saw in two thousand election

we don't elect the president on the popular vote it can sometimes be different than the electoral college so we really don't have a national election we have a state by state election and so. the candidates have to win so many states which add up to two hundred seventy electoral votes and so that can sometimes differ from the national popular vote totals so this could be another election where that happens we'll see but obama has a slight edge in the electoral map and they kind of means bad but romney's policies are too far to the right and he seems as if he's moving even further to the right choosing paul ryan for instance a lot of people like his and accuse him of wanting to share to the right wing of the republican party do you think the u.s. is moving in that direction or is it just politics that brought him here well the republicans seem to think that they can energize their base more than the democratic base because the democratic base is kind of disappointed with obama in

certain respects and if they can energize their base they can win that way but i don't know that's a bit iffy i think they may have made a bad choice in paul ryan and i think that's choosing him said ok we're going to mobilize our base instead of going for independent voters because he would have picked romney would pick somebody that was like chris christie or somebody that was more moderate to go out to the center and that may have been a mistake because most of the conservatives are going to vote against obama. and so they really didn't need paul ryan they needed somebody to get people in the middle particularly. suburban women and you see these comments by the republican candidate. one of the senate candidates on abortion and rape. you know that really. disaffect women so the republicans led that's what happened leading up to the convention so they don't really want to talk about that the republicans want

to talk about the economy and they want all those social issues which are very divisive and might turn key voting blocks like suburban women against them so and in a close election they really need everybody on their side do you think he's able to move to appeal to the middle well not as much i guess somewhat it's hard to say where he stands on many issues he's kind of moved around enough that's believable but after you do that and now if people you know stick you with the flip flopper type thing flipping back and forth between you know views like john kerry was labeled with that. a while back for the demo on the democratic side you know if you're inconsistent on your and and mitt romney has been inconsistent on abortion assault weapons ban and even on health care yes in fact obama and mitt romney have switched positions because used to be obama was against his own became his own healthcare plan because hillary originally proposed it during the primaries and of

course mitt romney was the guy who dreamed up the whole thing is governor of massachusetts and now he's against that sort of thing so you never know what's going to happen there or what position they're going to take but that changing of positions don't you think it's going to weaken his campaign running his campaign especially now when you're talking health care economy. jobs well i think it does certainly when you flip around flip flop around on positions but i think really it's a referendum on obama that's what the experts say political science used to study these things i mean they could put anybody in the in the chair and one of the key factors but not the only factor is the economy so we'll have to see if they. g.o.p. the republicans can keep you know on the offensive on the economy and if they can do that that that highlights the problem but it's not really even the unemployment rate of change and really. the economy would have had to improve probably by may

to help obama out and that didn't happen so that the fundamentals of the election are are set you know months in advance so we'll just see what the what the last count is but in an election this close to you know course they're pulling everything out on both both camps to attack the other one because they need every vote they can get so then let's face the economy what are the challenges facing romney at this election's and this elections well i think the main one is getting distracted by the social issues old many people don't agree with the social issues in the public and party because they're very much to the right of the population and i think those key voting groups that would be shy about voting for romney on that so they have to kind of keep that under the table but this just sort of sprang up at this senate candidate saying these things which are really quite outrageous about rape and that sort of thing and so lots of women might but not this is the

south romney completely distance itself from he did on the platform and the his vice presidential candidate both say no exceptions for rape or incest in the an anti-abortion platform so mitt romney has personally done that but he's still kind of weighted with this baggage and it also is just kind of a big idea another many women who are against abortion out there and they probably will vote of course republican but you know there are if you're trying to get votes in the middle that's a key constituency the other problem that the republicans have well they have two other problems working. union worker who a lot of times support. republicans during the reagan era that's dwindled because we've had we have fewer manufacturing jobs so there's fear of those people the other thing is the hispanic population is it has been a rage by some of the republican stances on immigration so that's the fastest

growing minority and you see a lot of western states colorado nevada which used to be solid republican are moving in the democratic camp or at least neutral and so that's where oh obama has gotten an advantage on the electoral map the state by state election which is really the key election but it's a slight edge at this point on foreign policy is it seems as if economy. jobs these are the main factors of the elections here about what about foreign policy and do you think that romney has any advantage or less rights well if anything i think he has the last advantage he's trying to make a big deal about the iran thing but you know obama killed osama bin laden and here are some of bin laden is bill in number one and you know it took him ten years and george w. bush never got him so that's a there in his cap here in the united states i think. romney has been very hawkish

but people are tired of two wars here they want to get out of these wars so i don't think if anything that's a detriment to him that he's got all these neoconservative hawkish foreign policy advisers one policy won't traditionally hasn't provided played much in u.s. elections because it's usually domestic issues and the economy and in this case it's even more so since we've had this long recession and now a long sluggish period of recovery so i think even more so people are turning inward because they want to get rid of these wars and you know get back to what they're doing and that's why it's going to be mainly on the domestic issues so if anything i think foreign policy his views probably are handicapped form but the critique that they did. they're criticizing obama on syria as he said on iran and other issues and it seems as if he's romney is trying to win base for him by criticizing obama on this issue i think they are criticizing him but most most american voters don't really care about that to be quite blunt and so i mean they

just you know they may read the newspapers and they don't know very much about these issues foreign policy and defense stuff they don't know which what our policy should be in many of the countries because they're not even familiar much with the countries but they know their own paycheck they know the educational system they know the state of the highways they know stuff and domestically and that's why u.s. elections usually tend to focus on that unless there's a big war going on or unless there's some crisis like the iranian hostage crisis during the one thousand nine hundred eighty for jimmy carter something like that then it becomes a bit more of an issue and less than three months left for the elections obama is still leading do you think that's going to be the case for until november sixth or do you see that he's well the polls there are about even depending on which polls but those polls don't mean anything because it's state by state and i think you have to look at the electoral map and obama does have an edge there although they

kind of his bad do you think he needs a miracle for the economy to keep that lead in the elections or is it also the fact that romney has issues with health care with the economy is not going to help obama but he'll probably will he's probably benefit from those. these groups that have become disaffected with republicans like hispanics you know and that sort of thing and i think he's got an electoral edge because of that i. to the. sun technology innovation tall buildings developments from around russia.

problems seem to occur with rival supporters clashing both inside and outside stadiums across the country. part of the problem is very is no effective legislation in place to tackle the problem and this is something we're forty's and looking to change. looking to bring in legislation to try and combat football hooliganism unfortunately there are no universal laws in place at the moment to deal with this problem in the autumn the state duma will discuss this problem will also look to try and angle things like clothes instead as this has a negative impact on the game fires are all too common at stadiums around the country despite heavy fines from the way for pyrotechnics are still let off the champions league and europa league matches but clubs are the ones who have to foot the bill or both are guilty of bringing foreigners into the grounds often get away with a fine of just a few year rose bats are very even courts. who will be looking to liaise with clubs

and fans to try and make stadiums safer places and the new legislation will be much tougher and those who want to break the law were looking at how the authorities in england and germany have managed to do with hooliganism they have dealt with the problem very well and will be looking to try and bring in similar laws into russia to overcome this problem. supporters' groups have often campaigned for stewards take the place of police in football stadiums as is the case across much of europe this may have some effect in reducing the problem however the only way football hooliganism can really be tackled is. the trouble makers are held accountable for their actions. with fines football hooligans fees have to be tough if they are shown on t.v. or displayed in newspapers for what they have done then i think they'll think twice about doing it again if he she is a fine of ten years it's nothing to keep on causing trouble the police and the

clubs need to work together to try and tackle this problem it's high time that a problem stance against really good news is taken however it seems very good for a cheese finally except there is a problem but it's crucial that the new legislation being discussed easy implemented and comes down hard on blues intent on causing trouble with human briefly dancey. now to the hard courts of the u.s. open tennis where maria sharapova is in third round action on day five of the competition the third seeded russian will play home favorite memory but that truck was compared to another try the takes on this he's a father of the czech republic who also actually is defending champion sound stosur who is up against american voter. as you can see space has taken the first set on a tie break and has a break in the second bus stop thinking of tony as a regulator of china. meanwhile in the men's draw defending champion novak djokovic traces honestly the brazilian silver for seeded spaniard gathered for
