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 who are 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 can keep g.o.p. that 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 and that didn't happen so that the fundamentals of the election 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 that must face the economy what are the challenges facing romney at this

election's and the selections 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 partly 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 this is the south romney completely distance himself 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 those days 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 supported. 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 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 romney has any advantage or writes 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 them ten years and george w. bush never got them so that's a feather 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 foreign policy won't traditionally hasn't 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. 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 the deal is. 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 wind raise for him by criticizing obama on these issues 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 already do you see that to his will while the polls there are about even depending on which polls but those polls don't mean anything because 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 it's not going to help obama but he probably will he's probably benefited from this these groups that have become disaffected with republicans like hispanics you know and that sort of thing and i think. he's got on the electoral edge because of that.

next month against northern ireland and israel strikers roman pavlyuchenko and probable gretna have also been committed keeper bloody may get pulled off the graces of russia's last another five who earlier this week announced his retirement from international football. elsewhere and following the draw for the champions league yesterday on friday clubs competing in the europa league found out their group stage opponents two russian clubs were in the first round draw seedings to thrash dark side as it out mark six mil in aggregate in qualifying for the group a with five time european champions liverpool italian a club leader named young boys of switzerland. while rebekah's who qualified by virtue of winning the russian car pool playing group h. against italian giants inter milan parted on the all great of serbia while. left will become the first team ever from azerbaijan to compete in the group stages of european competition. when i played there with the national

team it was such a long trip to get to the ground was small but there was a really great atmosphere so it will be a tough game i'm going to see. now back to domestic matters where game week seven of the russian premier league is under way in silence playboys mordovia i think defending champions and made the leading three nil thanks to a twenty fifth minute goal from constantine on a second half brace from alexander culture carvers couple of seconds left in the one they were in monaco chelsea and a classic over dread go head to head in the european super cup running club one of europe's premier competition for the first time in their history by placing on penalties in a. world where victorious in the europa league chelsea striker from the torah is of course up against his former club. couldn't be more as personal for me. since it's a move from. the reporters they know i was one of them

one of them. more than. twelve years of my life. fortunately my former. now talks have taken place in moscow trying to reduce football hooliganism within russia the police supporters groups and the premier league were all present with new legislation set to be introduced next month to try and curb the problem which a bump or plate has more. choking football hooliganism in russia is often discussed however every season the same problem. of 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 plays instead as this has a negative impact on the game plan is all too common at stadiums around the country despite heavy fines from the way for our techniques are still let off the champions league and europa league matches the clubs of the ones who have to foot the bill or both who are guilty of bringing foreigners into the grounds often get away with a fine of just a few euros but it's a 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 than those who want to break the law well looking at how the authorities in england and germany have managed to deal 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 to 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 if the troublemakers are held accountable for very actions . the laws and fines football hooligans face have to be tough for if they're 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 they face a fine of ten euros as nothing and they'll 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 proper stance against hooligans is taken. however it seems very good for a cheese finally there is a problem but it's crucial that the new legislation being discussed easy implemented and comes time honed on blues intent on causing trouble would you believe we don't see. now to the hard courts of the u.s.
