administers sergei showing current acting governor and re vorobyov his much younger than his predecessors son of a federal senator he stepped into politics from private business back in the ninety's he started a company which is now the biggest russian seafood manufacturer prior to his new appointment for a bureau of lad the united russia for action in the state duma the acting governor will run the moscow region until the restored gubernatorial elections are held in september two thousand and thirteen gov hello mr a b of and welcome to the show my first question is about investment when people talk about investing in russia and this is a popular subject today people talk about it at all levels they often use the region as an example they have folks who are getting some some you know what not well it has a play and we should be assuming we're serious is in the moscow region were rather

mysterious as. ideally we should have both we wus in mercedes is assembled in the moscow region of course as regards the moscow region's potential it is fast in any person who knows something about business realizes that it is the market determines the outcome at least this is a very serious competitive advantage what makes the mask original unique is that it is a market where you have at least twenty million people. it's a huge market. that's the population of the most cruel region right that's moscow in the most of the other together but of course. so we have a huge potential no doubt about that but all we have to do is transform this potential into solid results and this is what we are going to work on you know they were as you think investment will come because we think investments will come and we welcome all the companies that come to work in our region we are very happy that

basters of the world's leading economies often come to our office to promote and lobby companies from their countries that i think this practice will continue with closely he's the let's now turn to a different subject which is also very important for any territory environmental protection because if you look at the map of the most region as you probably know west of moscow the situation is more or less ok but once you go east it's all marked with a red why is that at present reason it's the same all over the world in that's true facilities are always east of the city and that's where all the pollution is is there anything you can do about it. it is not as you know you have ten to twelve million people in moscow and they do their best to spend their spare time outside the city and we are very happy that the situation within marmont in the moscow region is pretty stable in the area screen in most districts chiefly this year we received an award from an international environment protection organization saying

that our region is a green territory. she stayed at this but all the problem is in the east because there are problems with that but there are problems you are right that you have a healthy environment you have to have forests with this so the condition. to pay special attention to this but. it's the point is the forest is a living organism and it may fall ill it requires special attention and that's why i will provide a substantial amount of money four billion rubles to take care of our forests to make sure it is properly cared for the way we do it all over the world and president putin held a big press conference recently and he spoke about forest there specifically he mentioned the him key forest the new highway from us getting petersburg is supposed to go through it with a lot of scandal over the way construction companies were clearing delay and in the situation is still unclear but the m.q.

forest is just one example of how forests are often curiously destroyed in the most cohesion i know that you are sitting at a public council and you can play and to include in it those activists who defended him q forest do you think this council will help resolve the issue. of the. masha's always had an impact on environment this has been going on forever especially with the industrialization and modern projects that we have to go on man's impact on nature is a fact and there is nothing we can do about it and what we can do is be smart in how we deal with nature including forests. so the situation with the hume q forest has been going on for a long time but tens of millions of people realize that we certainly need the moscow st petersburg highway for economic reasons and to improve our living

standards which is which so if we have to clear a forest we have to do that and compensate for diesel but i strongly believe that not a single tree can be chopped down without a public discussion war you are right about that little. bearing in public counsel should help us protect our forests. also i want to each surest has its age and you need to take care of the forest which means you need to cut down all the trees so that new trees can grow in their place it's a fact will these councils have any real power these councils will advise local authorities there will be a discussion before anyone dares to cut down a forest. you say before anyone dares and it sounds very good but let's talk about one of the best places in the most in the east river for we can see these wonderful

pictures here this is what the place looks like today it is one of the most beautiful sites near moscow but have you heard about the company. that is going to sell fifteen hundred hectares of land along the shores of the east reserve or. things like that always happen when a new governor comes in but they first started construction there when she replaced governor groom of. place and it's happening once again just a bit and i think we have pictures here over the area is going to look like once it's did it up and developed all these both civil and are going to be built upon is there anything you can do about this the more the police that night they know that there is a lot of construction going on in the mosque or region we have about seven or eight million square metres worth of new housing every year. this includes both individual houses and apartment blocks but again we will be very careful when

giving our approval for projects like that it is very easy to destroy nature and it is almost impossible to restore it so it is our priority and we are fully aware that we need to be careful with such things but we need to make sure that these new settlements cause no. harm to environment. because i thought she was three to three to four but what do you think about the idea of building settlements on the shore and selling lend along the shores is there anything you can do or this is no lower your land this is private land and you have no say here. but others like your chance of actually everything that could be sold has already been sold you know it was but you know today we own only two percent of all the land in the moscow region the regional authorities own only two percent of the land you know other words we have almost no left let's clarify but we don't disappear we realize that we can

work together with the owners on some issues we need to develop the territory we need new factories new businesses new residential areas so we'll do our best to find common ground with owners in work together yeah let me get this straight you say you don't own the land does this mean you have no say in what they will build their effect tree against ation or is it a sure community just you know a special fortunately we do have a say and we even plan to get the public council you mentioned earlier involved in this work some i because i will create this council early twenty thirteen so we do have leverage and we will use this leverage to avoid misunderstandings and whole sorts of abuse including harm to environment in which he did the but are we talking about leverage or about their authority if businessmen decide to put an environment on the property they legally own you have the authority to stop them can you issue

an order. and we can do that and this is a democratic country you know and we have local self-government this is something i can do myself but you are different from me under the new law local self-government or against have much power but we too have our ways of influencing the situation but to do that we will need the media again dean wireman council if someone harms nature we need to be aware that we have a special forestry service and a chief forest inspector a very professional manager who keeps tabs on all these things and we want him to exercise very tight control of forests and water otherwise if something happens damage may be able to said there will be total mess along the banks of the rivers forests and water that people say twenty first century wars will be fought over

water not over gold anymore not even oil it is a serious issue and a serious challenge and we need to rise up to the occasion you are currently the acting governor and you have about a year before the elections we carry out any of your forms in this year or is your only goal this year to make sure you win the election instead of trouble as much as you can that would make sense. to give us and it would be ridiculous to have reforms just for the sake of reforms we would like to see specific results it is results that we work for but it is quite possible that there will be some changes quite often that is appropriate but at the same time will have continuity and we will explain the logic of what we are doing to the people you know people are often afraid of the things they don't understand but once you explain everything people agree with you he says and we think we should achieve results by persuasion not by coersion. it says i'm great one of the young acting governor of the moscow region

popeye's will be back shortly after a break so stay with us though the. above . you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so for lengthly you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else and you hear or see some other part of it and realize everything you thought you don't know i'm tom hartman welcome to the big picture. deadly rivals for decades. if you had 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 am i going to my brother understand my contact in medium is. going to eventually attack the cause of my anger and my frustration bringing. up a tough race or well into the home. to the most violent gangs in the us history. is just all model kill or be killed with colors matching the national flag.

but this country uses violence when it reaches and then it legitimizes the violence they all made in america on the odyssey. well into the future this month high tech means good help whether it be the latest laser cutters a life saving heart rushing to innovators or working hard to keep you healthy person companies it's been a winding road from car simulators to cutting edge training systems for others it's

been a lifetime of work along the mysteries of the cell check it all out on technology update we've got the future covered. do we speak your language or not a day of. school music programs and documentaries and spanish more matters to you breaking news a little tonnage of angles keep the stories. you hear. detroit altie spanish find out more visit i too am a dud. welcome back to spotlight i am al gore nabhan just a reminder that my guest on the show today is and they be of the acting governor of

the moscow region. you said recently that the budget of the most will soon reach one trillion weevils this is a huge figure where will this money come from you say you've sold almost all the land so we're going to get that much money that they didn't get paid and i sounded a chiller this figure is not that huge finland has a population of five million people and their budget is over forty billion euro what are the regimes that do you bring this back to my first question where is nakia where is how complete. in our budget is all in all about ten billion euros so all we have to do is get ahead of finland and this is actually a more ambitious goals or if we take our budget to forty billion euros that would be one point six trillion rubles right morry's a two point four trillion that's two point four trillion rubles that and but that would take a while as a first step we need to restore order those who own land should pay taxes as people

do all over the world and those who have property should pay taxes off that property and all the property should be registered that's the way they do it all over the world people which it would be logical for businesses that work in the mosque or region and get their revenues in the mosque region to pay taxes in the mosque or region as well. p. to see any other companies that would like to do business in our region we should assist them and take good care of them and no more because they can certainly count on our support in the. fight for every project in every factory competition is tough like you said there is the kaluga region where you and a good friend of mine is governor of the tool or region and he would like to have more factories and he's a region as well. so our goal is to get all the barriers barriers usually emerge at lower levels so we need to get rid of all the barriers

we need results in that it is a terrible situation when there are no jobs you know a certain area because you know people degenerate without a job or you and me and you go that's the best. you mention texas and you are absolutely right i know some people who own like a head through the land outside moscow and they pay just a few pennies in taxes less than what i pay for my apartment in moscow they don't have such low taxes on land anywhere else like you well the fact that they do pay taxes is encouraging and self misleading yes but the amount they pay is a joke well gerard to produce a wants to move to russia as you know i think you will live in the mosque region yes i think you will move to moscow and actually putin said today they deployed you is welcome to become a russian citizen so that's a huge boost for you right away how much did he say he was paying taxes in france around thirty million if i'm not mistaken so that's an answer to your question

about the budget what about industrial facilities though i don't think there will be many when you are as in the most khujand it's too cold here but there are many industrial facilities that operate in the most and pollute the environment but they pay taxes elsewhere even told the news recently when they should talk to businesses about that but how can you change that business is a register where the few better many of them are you sit in. centers this is another thing put in talked about today he said it would bring your company's back but how do you do it. you need determination and once there is determination and well that money walks like the producer who left france because of taxes and i just don't. you know our tax rates especially our income tax are so low that it just sheer pleasure to pay taxes in russia. thirteen percent for the in contests with you then why the factories that operate in your region pay taxes elsewhere was just like you know because you need to talk to people if you ignore people they turn away from you the most precious thing we can give each other is kiran attention

this care and attention is key to success. what you're seeing is truly groundbreaking because russia fights corruption and corruption is certainly the biggest problem with russian officials today but even if we defeat corruption tomorrow we'll find out the next biggest problem with officials is their utter indifference towards the people which is actually spawned by the same corruption look at what the president said in his state of the nation address he talked at length about moral and ethical issues including the quality of government services he said in addition to lupton to government people have the right to supervise the government we need a better quality of government service public officials should be more caring they should be aware of the needs people may have even in the small village but in talks about we've talked about the most gooey jenna no let's talk about the government in general you are an experienced politician it is only recently that you were appointed governor authorities all over the world are interested in being money

toward entrance parent but russian authorities have never been interested in transparency under the monarchy or under the crew or recently do you think the situation may change certainly but what has changed. and yet a living you know i suppose nothing changed in my head. what is just that every system and every person goes through certain stages there is evolution. when you saw what you know we were born and raised in an unfree country of analysis but that where the government and crucially suppressed our initiative and our wealth and people would learn from their early years that initiative was unwelcome look at africa as an initiative is what will help us change our country today. our country is still young less is just over twenty because it was a quantum you feel lot on google so for government it seems to be a favorite law is a constant and it is the most important law in our country in the hordes and as you

know there are three hundred fifty thousand people who are involved in this work. and until recently it was a thirty percent of those people had not even a finished high school the he said she did it was only in two thousand and nine that this law came into full force but two years ago so it takes time you know i know it takes time but that's not what i'm talking about when you are governor you're young you're inexperienced politician you have ideas on how to improve the situation but once you start making a change everybody will rise up against you you have to convince everybody don't you miss the good old times when there was no need to explain anything he would just do something and expect that the children of these people would understand later my position is as follows we have the president and the president tells us in the government system that we need to change we need to change our attitude we need

to change the way we were. so there are two scenarios the first scenario is we'll listen to the president and change our philosophy change the way we work in the ocean but there are always some people who ignore this and this is something. we should prevent from happening we have to be very careful and very professional in our work. with those who work in the government service their number one motives should be to serve people who lost their id this may sound cliche but i strongly believe that once we get a certain number of people with the right mode of story about it will achieve a breakthrough and this is what we really need to do because we have lots and lots of problems that frustrate the people who are problems with health care education transporting for structure you name it there are a lot of things we need to change in our daily life so let's not waste our time let's start the changes i want to talk about in other subjects i know it's

important he. used to look like a deal in it with more school being the hole in the center but no it's different how a sector of the most has been merged with moscow before and know the city looks like a keyhole and the most cohesion looks like a horseshoe i believe you've lost one eighth of a territory that a lot of lent. but you know that russian people believe that a horseshoe brings good luck but still you know there has always been this tendency for big cities spread out and take over areas around them people from the suburbs commute into work in the city and so on do you think there's nothing wrong with this send people even say there is no need for the most they see there should only be the greater moscow in the remaining part of the most cohesion should be divided between the kaluga region and other provinces do you agree with that or do you think it is necessary to keep the most creation as a separate entity but i think it would be a very stupid thing to do. it

might be good idea to think about what you're going to see so the decision on new moscow has been made and its effect now what would you like it. we have a good relationship with the city of moscow and that's a very good answer every diplomatic when. i say yes we have a good constructive relationship and mayors have done in myself we understand perfectly well that moscow and the moscow region should develop together you're not moscow can develop without the moscow region and the moscow region count exists by itself and so obvious yes but. i often ask people were do you arrive when you fly to moscow if you're arrive in the moscow region where do you go on weekends you go to the moscow region so we have to listen to reason not ambition and say this road

is mine this territory stories this kind of approach is futile and harmful you know we're certainly not going to engage in that. and once you let them use on us. why then do we have this situation which makes this unique in the world where you have a big city any suburban area is a separate tutorial entity it's like i didn't is it really necessary to have the most cohesion in it we just have a single greater moscow. it was night and you know there are certain rules and administration one and one rule says that you shouldn't create an unmanageable system at the most this may lead to serious consequences or even a disaster but the yep it bogs so i think that such a huge ante with a population of twenty million people and it would be extremely difficult.

but today moscow and some fourteen to fifteen million people in the most green five million seven million seven million. so you have over twenty million all in all those who come from other places tourists transit travelers but i think you will agree that moscow is moscow and historically it is always called the shots for the most cohesion and indeed for all of russia. was and we bear no grudge because of that moscow is our capital it is the head of our country but i always say that the moscow region is the heart of russia post about thank you thank you very much governor for being with us and just to remind you that my guest on the show today was andrey. acting governor of the moscow bridge and that's it for now for all of us here if you want your sound spotlight perhaps someone in mind to you think i should interview next time to talk they want to bring up on t v dot perry and let's keep spotlight internet movie back with more first and comments on what's going on
