the question tonight is whether or not soldiers were adequately warned about its rare side effects serious life changing side effects. and up of the day here in moscow you're watching our here's a recap of the headlines bankruptcy and the fall dream of coalition leaders fail to agree on a fresh multi-billion your austerity package the prime minister says it is vital to rescue the people to the economy. a deadly car bomb rocked the syrian city of aleppo shell of an al qaeda linked militant pledged support for the syrian rebels as somali back to the country's conflict is getting increasingly hijacked by foreign forces. and so is

a breakaway kosovo region as many games of india as a group of countries recognizing its independence says a tumor is all over the side a move many believe could threaten to escalate and make attention. by the asia pacific economic summit ended on a promising note for many countries and their leaders next a mexican president felipe calderon talks exclusively to r.t. about what he sees as his nation's role. so president i wanted to was going to president thank you for joining us let's talk about relations between the region's countries and do you want the actually quite tense with some of the states how would you describe relations between washington d.c. and mexico city washington on one of the songs as you said there are a lot of holes in our relations. with us in general we have

a good working relationship that's true both of my personal interactions with president obama and the relations between our administrations the u.s. and mexico have a long history of ups and downs and i know the case today more than a hundred years ago one cannot president made a famous statement poor mexico so far from god so close i mean only because they stole from however our proximity to the us has its benefits as well as disadvantages it's great to have the world's biggest market just round the corner. with a lot of billions of dollars worth of mexican workers it's crucial for our economy for the problems we share immigration and illegal drugs it's a challenge to be a neighbor to the world's largest illegal drugs consumer market with all the rest of the world trying to smuggle drugs into the u.s. across our border and this complicates our relations but i think we have managed to establish a constructive dialogue at least that's true of my government in order to fight

these problems together because we have nobody in print at home to off this program . take a what are you see and the u.s. has had to like to new president do you think anything is likely to change after the election a sexy a miss. nothing changes before the election there is always the temptation to join one's pre-election campaign and the competing parties often undertake fairly unfriendly steps to secure support from various target group there were such incidents in the past i can tell you about whenever some farming etc in the us was losing a competition to mexican producers its representatives would seek to leverage the mexican economy fortunately no such move this time and hopefully we won't have to face anything like this in the future but i wouldn't want to intrude into the decision making. people that are very much hope and mature and responsible

relations of the us of mexico into right now be maintaining after the elections. he said you have great economic ties but is there anything that can be done to reduce economic dependence on the. same yes we are undertaking steps to achieve that so through an active participation in. our efforts to set up a civic alliance or with other latin american countries are neutral or as well as off a future membership in the transpacific partnership demonstrate our desire to diversify only because of course we realize that the us will remain a key partner africa geographic location to expand our trade. is new mexico in the world world in mexico other words i would very much like mexican goods to go on sale in russia and russia. to come to mexico but we want more

tourists to visit us this strategy of diversification that we have in force recently would make our economy less dependent on the u.s. we are working on it but it's not easy because our economies are obviously heavily intertwined. due to the very obvious reason. why not. another drug trafficking what's your assessment of the progress in the war on drugs what do you make of the popular statement that the drug trafficking would shrink if there was a decline in demand in the u.s. so. i mean ok let's start from the very beginning of a practical i don't like the term war because ultimately it's not about the drugs but i would like mexico to become a rule of law state government where people feel safe my priority is not to eradicate drugs but to create a secure environment rock people and their families. and anyone in gauged in drug trafficking attack our people. because what they do is illegal i'll tell you what

our track is here because there was a time when our law enforcement agencies were degrading shrinking oh they became fragile and laced with corruption to put it simply many of them were failing your book form their twenty's and if that was some case they were taken over by the criminals and of the list i know that in many countries organized crime is growing stronger countries police and agencies and this trend prevails. i think our main achievement is that we've managed to curb this train much because now we're reforming the police force as part of the project to reinforce our government bodies by policemen have to be honest well trained and have access to state of the art equipment that will make. up in this respect i believe we're doing very well. more problem related to violence gang clashes some of what's happening in mexico is typical for all latin american countries not only do criminal gangs smuggle drugs into the us they also attempt to distribute them across latin america. this leads

to. in spite of this as last year source significant decline in violence and the number of murders but we're working on it still there is a long way to go. for the second part of your question yes you know main reason for drug trafficking problem or openness is that the u.s. is the main drug consumer in the world. far to mexico and many other countries if the demand for drugs were to decrease in the u.s. on what we would indeed have problems to deal with look at the market. and how what is going through economic crisis to mostly true. i'm not an american plane the global economic crisis. the way i see growth will take place over the next decade mostly in the region by six months which is located in latin america the big picture is that our economies are growing enemy new jobs are being

created this is same for mexico our economy is growing and the new jobs are being created because many mexican products can now compete in the global market and the role of growing economies is to give impetus to global economic growth to use an analogy of previously or economic growth was driven by an engine of growth but that would be the european the us economy on it because what happens now is that the us engine is still in order while the european one is not only actually pulling the other way. the center of growth is moving to asia pacific and latin america that will play an important role in all of growth that us. how do you explain that in america significant economic growth when. there are different reasons for on the one hand and it's especially the case in south america the reason is that these countries produce primary commodities including food my biggest global food prices

growth which happens for various reasons but to a large extent of human due to the growing demand in china and india a lot of the economies are producing food such as argentina and brazil grow as well but that's one reason i uses this is not the case of mexico you know what i see in mexico we're seeing manufacturing growth become more competitive with gasoline we have invested significant ones in infrastructure and higher education one hundred thirteen thousand engineers graduate from the mexican universities annually that's more in germany canada or u.k. this is given our economy a sizable competitive advantage we offer a lot of benefits to investors because we have lower taxes so now car and cell phone manufacturers can buy the parts they need from any country in the. world which brings their business to a higher competitive level mexico's economic growth and even by manufacturing which is growing much faster the natural resources development on the whole i believe that latin american economies succeeded in finding

a balance between maintaining economic stability and ensuring proper distribution of government funds in mexico you can talk of low inflation and almost zero budget deficit investments in the development of money and a range of other factors. create new jobs and drive economic growth in the economy . and also. about health care and education what it would be great to see challenges mexican society is facing. the issue of public safety still withstanding my presidential. at the end of the year and i think the next president needs to continue with the project of building new institutions because we mexicans rest when we have been only police force in place when we put an end to any corruption including a corrupt. and judicial agencies of this sense this is

a major challenge yes and the other. major economy that we need to run reform and. i believe our major challenges is raising quality of education reform us. as a new president takes office what policy will he. support that's a good question for the new president and despite our ideological differences i wish him well possible success because mexico needs all of the stages it goes through to be successful you need the president to enjoy possible support he needs to tackle important national issues like the overall i do no expect any major changes in the economy and i'm hopeful that he will continue with modernization and and the reforms driving mexico the economic competitiveness of the security issues he said himself that he would do all he can to our great governmental institutions point zero noise crime in social services we have clearly defined the outlines of

our health care education and support of the low income population programs and i believe this will continue roughly along the same lines and. nuances typical for mexico's us information. and the last question where will we see you in the future will you be pursuing your political career your father. as for your second question i learned from my father when i was very young that politics is about serving the people for the common good as a citizen of my country i will do my best in order to achieve this goal in this respect i will continue working for the good of mexico on the other hand mexican law does not allow the president to be reelected whether six twelve or eighteen years after his term has ended so i'm at the end of my part of my career in politics because your president is the highest position one can ever hope to hold

but i am fifty years old now and i have every intention to live another fifty years or so in good health i hope that science will find a way to increase longevity. the long and eventful life that i intend to lead us all be connected with my calling to serve my people although so far i couldn't tell you what it is exactly i'll be doing it in the future my expenses like working for the economy teaching writing reading all know a lot of the soviets read that answer pending time with my children they were little when little and now they are two notches and i would like to be there for them a service but that's how i see my future so when i get back to politics eventually i might open a law firm dealing with infrastructure projects i'm not sure how to provide a mentor like i am you rank you for the interview thank you.

next with andrew who's got news on another triumph of all syrian at the u.s. open as well as a look back at what has been a very successful paralympics for russia. hello there you're watching a sport here in r.t. and these are the headlines jumping for joy serina williams claims the fourth u.s. open title after a thrilling victory i was victoria azarenka. while novak djokovic breezing past i would put it to set up a final showdown with andy murray. and golden and the paralympics close in style after russia's i think finish on a high in london. during a williams has won the u.s. open for a fourth time the american beating the world number one victoria as a rank in three sets to end what has been a fabulous summer williams won wimbledon and to william pitt gold medals before the

last grand slam of the season and look to be cruising after winning the first set six two against the ballarat however as the rain careful back brilliantly winning the next six two to bring herself level. after that mission is even serving for the match in the deciding set only for williams to reel off four games in a row to win seven five this fifteenth grand slam singles title american amazed at her achievement as she lay flat on her back at the end before getting up to celebrate and says the victory was one of her sweetie. i played as a driver and you're too proud to drive you know so. yeah i definitely enjoyed winning. i would be lying if i said that i wanted to be you know but

it's you know it's nothing is more exciting than winning such a tight match and a grand slam final at this moment you know i have no regrets i felt like i gave it all you know. i could have gotten my way probably yes you know but it didn't and it really really hurts and you know those emotions can come out and. you feel sad but it's time to. really realize what happened today you know was a great match just it was close but not for me we were all defending champion novak djokovic is built his place in the main final against and the mary serve and david ferrer returned to finish their match after a tornado warning the day before and although fair served to take the first set six team it was all joke of each after that this mammoth twenty five point rally ending with a sizzling crosscourt backhand from the serve to level at a set all. it was

a point went on and on. it was djokovic in the end you had the trump card. and i take the next to say six four six two for the match he faces mary in the final on monday but expects that to be a lot tighter. i. think. most of our virtues that we played against each other were very close. on the small margins the side of the winner and that's something that you is expected to wear because we have a similar games and. we are we're big rivals. we have been top of the game for a long time so we know each other really well. the last match yours was the only games also a close one but it's a different surface you know different surface different tactics apply so we'll see

you know tomorrow i guess there's no cure for now and for me no one knows how much and says his first victory at the italian grand prix came at a good time after a tough couple of weeks the briton led practically from the start and held off a late challenge from the make skin suit your pet is in came second victory coming for hamilton after he crashed out of last week's race in belgium and then base days of speculation he was a back to move to rivals miss avies but he put all that to one side championship need to find a new along so came third in his ferrari or mclaren's jenson button was forced to retire here with manic mechanical problems and it was a bad day to hold in their drivers vettel a mark i failed to finish their championship dreams dented somewhat along there now tops the standings by thirty eight points from a mountain and seven races left. so i do i it's been fantastic to win here the defense crowd are so happy for my team i think i don't know.

anything credible am i in other news rory mcilroy has won the b.m.w. championship in indiana to claim the second gulf title in two weeks the northern irishman started the day a shot behind joint leaders phil mickelson and v.j. seeing and those two were looking good in early on a mickelson bearing this forty two foot chip for birdie while singh was also showing full and got his first birdie of the day here on the faith. but it was mcelroy the sole lead on the tenth hole after this approach he went on to carve a five hundred sixty seven for a two shot victory that extends his lead at the top of the world rankings while tiger woods is up to second after finishing joint third with his mcelroy he goes into the top championship in a fortnight as the favorite to pocket it and when you call it jack. this is the best golf i've ever played for sure to win three out of my last four starts you

know one of those being a major to be in play. and sweden is better hansen is also enjoying the perfect warm up for the ryder cup in three weeks time but i see i seem to be open to show in the netherlands and clinches fifth european tour title victory was all of the impressive as this week came close to a drawing after his baby son was admitted to hospital on friday to be played on to be problems about the carving of three in the final round of sixty seven. part the now we're struggling in the you know a little bit towards the end there with hitting some new shot them if they make that long part you know for. walking up to forty if i can make that it's going to take a lot for the average guys to catch up so if you're fantastic feeling and alexander won the challenge cup but ensure he will a card for the european tour next season he started the day two shots behind italian d.d.

but the french men's final round two in the past seventy was enough to snatch big by a single strike this collect his second title on the european challenge door and it moves him up to fifteen in the top ranking. the paralympics are finished in spectacular fashion in london a huge fireworks display over the athletic stadium bringing to an end a very successful games for russia the country won the men's football tournament on the last day with a one little victory over ukraine that was goal number thirty six for russia and that gives them second place in the medals table behind china and achievement celebrated with a formal reception in the british capital with more on course or f. to london's paralympic games so the russian athletes cemented their place among the world's best their success is attributed to several factors primarily the russians no longer feel at a disadvantage when it comes to equipment or training facilities but equally

important is increasing social inclusion which among other things resulted in more competitors if we enlarge our base behind the paralympic team include more people who will face problems with skills. if the performance of sport. by this method is the best methods to make. it to more of the more credible and more successful. the majority of gold medals came through athletics and swimming but sports where the podium was previously unattainable like or sheree for instance now seems closer than ever following russia's sweep of medals in one of the disciplines in a push pull my path to paralympic success was a difficult one i also took part in the beijing games though i was only eleventh

back then but i've been doing great have a since i've won medals both on the world of european stage go into these london games so my form has been building up and in the end i was strong enough to win here in london. so the paralympics are now moving on to inspire other nations in twenty fourteen it will be the russian winter fest and so years later sunny brazil will welcome the summer athletes but it all began to right here in the u.k. sixty four years ago still the magical games became the first ever recognized sporting event for people with disabilities the year was nine hundred forty eight and old german neurologist dr and the good men wanted was to speed up. the rehabilitation process for sixteen british world war two veterans and it makes me wonder if he ever dreamt that he's notion to help if you will eventually transform into an international celebration for over forty two hundred athletes ramon cost of artsy. u.k.
