change and some of the. regional players were suggesting to us why don't you tell president believe that we will arrange for a. safe haven for him. my answer is very simple. if indeed those who suggested this to us have this in mind they should take a direct hit the president that's why shelby use us as postman. eve present us of this is interested this must be discussed directly with scheme meanwhile in syria two russian citizens were kidnapped by suspected rebels earlier this week and they're being held for a reported one million dollar ransom paul sheldon food professor at california state university says this is yet more proof that terrorists are operating freely inside the country terrorist groups rely on kidnappings for financing so does true

of parking lot in america that's true of a. terrorist group so that in many other places. they already have world attention and since announcing as always they are terrorist organizations the goal of the the enemies of syria have been divided into what many pieces so you won't have a syrian anymore you have there is are you have a kurdish. forces and you have all the other sections and you don't have all these sort of opposition members fighting against each other for control i mean you know that the muslim brotherhood paid goons from around the world all wanted to impose their own totalitarian system on what's left of the of syria president putin is also touched upon the war a tearing syria part during his q. and a marathon with the media that's coming your way after a short break stay with. you

on the edge of human capability. struggling with a country to. lay out to become the first. force call in. the evening you. believe.

but it appeared to me to gunson is up when the mother needs. in retaliation for the magnitsky act the state duma passed a bill bennett u.s. citizens from adopting last north and said do you think this is an appropriate response just doesn't bother us children even the most deprived and helpless children are used as a tool in a political. stunt system and of but it's good but. it was first of all you say this was in retaliation for the magnitsky so let me say a couple of warts first about this law school and what i think about it and i have spoken on this subject before but i would like to reiterate my views on this matter the bill will not and this is certainly an on friendly anti russian act and this is not about banning some officials from having a bank account it's all the property abroad the point is they replaced one anti-social russian on bill with another is the man you just can't let go of the

past and this is a very good at least poison our relationship now to be sure you were raised and option of russian children by foreigners some of which far as i know opinion polls indicate because the overwhelming majority of russian people are very negative about foreigners adopting our children we should do it ourselves should encourage adoption of russian orphans or abandoned children by russian families but as for the us numbers will say your problem is not with the people who adopt russian children which of course there were some tragic incidents that we are aware of but that the vast majority of people who adopt russian children are kind and decent people the state duma does not have a problem with those people and the problem is with the position of the us authorities and what is their position when adopted russian the children are mistreated but i would use courts often ignore these crimes and let the offenders go unpunished if they even don't allow russian officials be present at the trial as

observe. what is that concerns us. so much on the buy you can mitigate your rights of the mates in russian jails. that's a good cause they have many problems in their own country like i said infamous prison you know grave i mean one ton of people are kept without any charges this is all creatures not only to the keep people there without a charge they keep them in chains like in the middle ages but i believe that legalized torture in their own country. magine what it would be like if anything like that happened in our country they would you get off. the media circus all over the world but when they did nobody says only working to go to work on that how many times did they promise to close guantanamo yet it is still there the prison is

still functioning. and we don't know they might still be torturing people they are . also. run by the cia. have they managed the people responsible for that. they want to tell us about our problems thank you we're well aware of them but using that as it were to pass an anti russian bill. really outrageous and uncalled for. mr president i'm alexander. porter for argument. i'm adopted parent myself and regardless of the foreign policy context i consider yesterday's amendments by the state jima excessive unreasonable cannibalistic if you will excuse me the people who adopted this know of telling us that we already have enough money to look after all friends in our country and we have plenty of aspiring adoptive parents for the tens of thousand other children not exactly true. it's absolutely not true prime minister

medvedev said. programs. interested my personal experience for three years that our entire system is going to talk to the parents. or through my personal great. where we were confronted with the grading or unlawful treatment for no particular reason i'm sorry for asking three questions instead of one i do hope something like colleagues will also be specific questions regarding our judicial system i see blank you. are as yesterday's act is concerned i have already laid out my own i. agree with you first of all i would like to read. this is not about specific people it was about the general attitude of the american authorities over the regard to emergency situations where children get victimized and you have their rights

infringed upon such. cases are well known and so is the typical reaction by american authorities simply deny access to russian representatives when they want even allow them into court as observers which they did what i consider it unacceptable what do you think what they do is your property without them with us how can it be proper when they. do you enjoy the us sadomasochists or something. they shouldn't our country anyway if it's true that we need to improve our own system besides we're not banning you doctrine by foreign nationals as such other countries apart from the united states. you know in some states they won't admit international election observers to polling stations do you like that. then why do you choose this kind of language with a law such as cannibalistic you have adopted a child and i truly respect that and i hope that many more people will follow your

example if you really are a decent person to get it done that it's true and i know what i'm saying. what message for our judiciary which may be excessively scrupulous when examining adoption applications it largely depends upon the personal qualities of a judge presiding over a specific case. but i remember how my good friends. to part used their gerhard schroder and opted to wrestle children when it came to courting st petersburg but the judge asked them specifically how does he were elder the daughter if you live. and when the girl replied why would anybody ask my opinion of the judge insisted i'm asking your opinion if you don't want it i will not permit it i'm sure that makes a lot of sense because each family member must make their personal decision and the judicial system essentially relies upon this principle to a strict but fair because there is

a separate. problem and that is when adoptive parents terminate the dog once they have adopted a child there has been a significant number of such cases a simplified approach is not appropriate here and. society must be clear as to whether an aspiring adoptive parent is capable of raising and sustaining a child what their government provided benefits will be sufficient to provide for a child. mr president what if you journalists have gathered here will have a lot of questions to ask the government to most people and it is first and foremost you call them but. over the twelve years you have built a tough believe in authoritarian personal power. this then you know the twentieth century or perhaps it hinders russians no doubt and. i believe we have been able to ensure stability this is

a necessary prerequisite for development but i can't call it a system authoritarian i can't agree with his statement of the most conclusive proof though that it was my decision to take to the sidelines after my two consecutive turns as president if i thought that an authoritarian or tele tarion system was the best choice for us i would have simply amended the constitution but it was easy to do. one doesn't even need a nationwide referendum to do that it would have been sufficient to get a dog to be in parliament where we enjoyed a majority over three hundred votes stepping in the battle was a totally conscious decision to both ensure a continuity of power ensure respect for our country's constitution and its main laws. naturally back then i couldn't say for sure i would come back in a four years especially since a crisis i wrote and no one knew where it would go so that would have been plain absurd but we all had to make it through tough times so there is no way i would be

calling the system or thora tarion but if somebody believes that democracy and observing laws are two different things there are highly delusional democracies first and foremost about observing the last release but the anarchy of the ninety's and largely discredited both market economy and iraq receives such a fearful of them both these are different things so i believe that no way does order discipline or observation of the law run counter to a democratic government. because my i'd like to ask you about the situation in syria as you know western countries there are about turf of the whole they all think that moscow as well all the. that's a nice in syria but trust that does not agree with this i do think this may leave russia isolated and eventually russia may lose its position on syria and even the

entire middle east. still about it when well has russia lost its position and well after all the mess that the intervention forces created there was that there was i don't know what their motives were but the country's falling apart ethnic strife conflicts between tribes what continue but actually even the us ambassador there was killed can you call this kind of work at that. somebody asked me about my mistakes earlier don't you think this was a mistake if you want us to repeat such mistakes in other countries and if you began again. what we care for is not the future of the acid rain we are fully aware of what is going on there you know that we realize that his family has been in power for forty years some place was so change is long overdue you believe we are more concerned about what will happen next which we don't want the opposition of once it comes to power if i think current authorities will become the opposition

because this will go on forever. and of course we care about our positions in this region and this region is close to us. but what we care about is not just our interests there actually we don't have any special interest there we have almost no interest or do we have any particular economic relations with those countries no we don't. do you think the president has been visiting moscow frequently no he spent much more time in paris and other european capitals. we think it is necessary to find a solution that will save the country from disintegration. of civil war. russia's position is that. it is not our goal to help asad strange power at any cost if we think the people of syria should decide on how they see their future how they are going to ensure their security and their involvement in the government

and only after that they should start. not vice versa but only if they can overthrow the government and then try to come to an agreement i don't think that agreements based on military victories are inappropriate. and i don't think they will be affected. and as regards what may happen there is up to the people of syria themselves. looking at some dogs you simply do not believe they come speak and goodness how they can wrong oh. it's an international sled dog race with those driving the dogs. coming from as far away as

a strand in canada and the us they come to russia and everybody is so very friendly they welcomed me with open arms and the scenery is so beautiful it's very much like a laska and so i felt at home the first black dog was brought here from australia now it's trios come to this remote russian village to take part in the race it's not surprising they love it this trail are amazing but even more amazing is the story of how racing first started here atoll it wasn't the top. grazing who set the trail ablaze but a nun and for those who brought their dia to life. five years ago mother pressed care of a bill to dog kennel in the village kids from the local op when it came around to take care of the dogs and one day they state their life might seem extreme to some the boys wake up at six to feed the dogs before school in the evening they spend up

to three hours training their four legged friends but mother per square also encourages her kids to become depth hands on the computer and internet the boys regularly update their website and they're in touch with their busy mother twenty four seven on the phone. but children are the most important thing my only interests not play any role anymore and regardless of whether parsky has hoskins window race or not she hopes the competition will take place in the village next year. but called these dogs and the children it really is not the winning but actually just the taking part that counts.

divine power in action activate the. i am. me. we are under the control of those governing us before at the service of a space mafia i found that they the magnetic field of the sun will. create the super. after the second coming it will be a beautiful place it will receive its glory it will be a renewed world and it will be a beautiful place. full of the best. will stop this type of ammunition. it's good business for us it's kind of like being a doctor you know there's a disaster businesses. better unfortunately.

well. science technology innovation all these developments around russia we've got the future covered. on the edge of human capability. struggling with pain and dramatic. layouts to become the first. fours and fall in the. line motion to be soon which brightened. the band's songs from phones to

crash and. news crew stunts on t.v. dot com. deadly rivals for decades. if a good fifteen thousand people killing each other in any other country there would be diplomats there would be mediators living. self-imposed out costs from society i will cut myself i might want to tag my brother understand my contact immediately caught going to leave basically attack the cops of my anger and my frustration. that upgrade into the channel.

to the most violent gangs in the us history books is just all model chill a big joke with colors matching the national flag. but this country uses violence when it reaches and then it legitimizes the violence they are made in america on the aunty. but. the.
