prime minister and former president dmitri medvedev is his pick for the leading position in the new government. dmitri medvedev in britain tried to make putin's longtime sidekick russia's prime minister in strength. and arguably the most tech savvy official in russia. he's also a big fan of rocky's listen to. live. like a listener was eliminated let's. listen. is a quick sign of how we got to be in this country second to mom. in law teacher and legal consultant to the matter simply to a ninety nine cents it's vetted and says the end is an election cheat the future this campaign season winds and yet that it becomes just she's a star

a couple of years later right see thousand employees he's the first deputy prime minister then in two thousand acres and with a new russian president. dmitry medvedev so what was his town like. modernization pushing the reset button on relations. military conflict five days south the sense he was triggered by georgia. but. having finished his presidency effective switch is about the future the lower of us leave the table as pm play poker stance and weathering russia's economic storms in the face of sanctions and tumbling oil prices raising the nation's salaries and benefits unless it's not a good might be cold and shallow to see such a limited explain it but if you like the september eleventh shut your mind your opinion i don't think you're dealing with

a subtle but it is about the overall not only what i think about. some. forty percent of russians said they trusted but still surely she would not be. likely to go if. they do you will say leadership is before you get the good deal with it. and that's all you need to know about it you can bet in just over two million. hundreds of interpreters who worked with the british army in afghanistan are facing the threat of deportation from the u.k. that despite a promise that they would be allowed to stay we spoke to one of those potentially affected who says the only thing awaiting him in afghanistan would be death. if they deport me back there is only one times for me to be killed he doesn't know when but the u.k. home office has informed abdul bari that he's going to be deported to kabul within

the next three months abdul says he can't go back to afghanistan because he worked as a frontline interpreter for british forces from two thousand and eight to two thousand and ten my life was in danger my family life was in danger threatening me they told me that you know that you joined the infidels. you've been talking about there was only one chance for me and i must leave the country cost so can target but the main target was for the family so if they catch me bad they would definitely just leave the country the british defense secretary gavin williamson has made headlines in recent days by telling the home office that afghan interpreters should be allowed to stay in the u.k. but that reassurance only refers to around four hundred form a interpreters who had been given five year you tavi says they expire soon and all the authorities have done in reality is say that they'll waive the costly renewal

fees so those celebrator you headlines don't apply to the six hundred or so former afghan interpreter is still in kabul who have had their asylum claims rejected nor do they applied to the handful of complicated cases relating to former interpreters who were forced to flee and entered the u.k. illegally like abbeville all of us are delighted that those who've had better all the criteria and their families are here and will stay here and that nobody paid any money there are still people who are being looked at and we need to be careful that we don't let it fall through the debts we have a debt of honor to these people and what we mustn't do is leave someone who actually worked for us looked after. our soldiers helped us we mustn't leave someone like that in a position where they and their families will be at risk and we've got to be very clear make sure we don't do that abdul says he didn't have time to apply for

a visa through the official interpreter scheme while he was still in kabul that required months of waiting and his life was increasingly at risk now abdul's lawyer is appealing the home office's moves to deport him many interpreters got these first directly from afghanistan through the ministry defense relocation visa was very strict. criteria that required you to be. working in helmand province and to be made redundant on or after the nineteenth of december twenty twelve a lot of people i missed the. word working in two thousand and twelve because they were threatened and targeted by the taliban had to quit their jobs and flee it's not really fair that he's had to make this journey to the you care to escape these threats to be told actually go home they're saying it's it's there for him to relook at we had evidence from former employees not just from the british army but they also he was working within the entire board he really cared to the originators

. but evidence suggests he was threatened in trouble. and if she caused the same will happen again he will be targeted when it comes to its own citizens the u.k. government clearly warns against travel to almost all of afghanistan even districts in the heavily guarded capital kabul it adds that terrorists are very likely to carry out attacks and methods are evolving and increasing in sophistication but that's apparently safe enough for abdul barry to return as far as the u.k. government is concerned i don't claim kabul is safe cos i think i'm always the most dangerous place in the world at the moment because every day bombs exploding people are dying and i don't. so how the home office is saying the couple is saying i first met up till a couple of months ago since then his already fragile mental state has worsened to surviving thirty five pounds

a week and time accommodations i'm are allowed to. so it can do nothing but. something i have a very bad depression so i'm going to the g.p. many times and some medicine from them. doesn't work. i'm still struggling i ask him about what he wants to do if and after all this he wants to work he'd read economics at university and kaberle he wouldn't mind resurrecting his professional boxing career either but his talk is tentative working and living here sounds like a dream one that any day now could come crashing down with the arrival of a final deportation letter. now the number of homeless people in paris has prompted or thirty's birth to cancel an annual race through the city to bring you details after the break.

what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. if someone wanted. to write. us this is what. three of the four people. interested was. there should.

come back there's been a furious response of friends over double trumps mimicry a victim shot in the twenty fifteen paris terrorist attacks the president's remarks came in a speech to the u.s. national rifle association he said we should set the reports they took their time and i'm going to let them down one by one oh come over here. come over here oh but if you want to employ. were just wrong places how did you learn. the terrorists would have fled or been shot yes that was president trump

suggesting the terrorist attacks in paris in two thousand and fifteen could have had fewer victims if god knows when so restrictive one hundred thirty people were killed in the attack and hundreds were injured it's below his would swear laptop by members of the largest gun rights lobbying group in the u.s. . with france so they hit a very broad many sounds trumps remarks is disrespectful and insensitive to the victims and their families while the foreign ministry and least perhaps the harshest criticism of trump since my crime took the presidential reins i'm a common trump those two of heights. front's expresses its firm disapproval of prison trump's comments about the paris attacks on nov thirteenth two thousand and fifteen and demands that the memory of the victims be respected.

could have abstained from his comments about the events that shattered all french people he might take back his words and express regret for them. but france isn't the only u.s. ally to be prodded by donald trump at the convention trump believes the u.k. is suffering from a problem of its own blow. transfer marks of course upset before in britain but this time the u.k. officials appear to have developed a thick skin and that it slide however across the channel many feel trumps twisting the knife in a deeply open weird. manual ten kilometer running race through the capital will not be held this year it's two to the high number of homeless people many of them migrants who have camped out along the route it's a problem that many had hoped would have eased over the last year or to show to do with how small. president machen had pledged that by the beginning of two thousand and eighteen no one would be sleeping rough on the streets of france let alone

paris yet not only did he fail to deliver on the promise but it's getting worse much worse it's believed that up to one thousand eight hundred migrants have set up camp along the canal in paris and fears that that could explode to around two and a half thousand in the next few weeks has caused the organizers of the great race to graham paris to cancel the annual event. the ten kilometer race between paris and song to me was to take place in just over a week's time but this is part of where the run is supposed to come through and as

you can see it would be virtually impossible for them to navigate this section of the racecourse these makeshift camps are growing day by day the route is impossible it is disturbing to have to run the race in the middle of a refugee camp at last year's race around six and a half thousand people took part it was also adopted as part of paris's bid to host the twenty twenty four olympics embodying a couple of the games key objectives solidarity and ecology this cancellation so close to race day has disappointed many you know it's kind of unfair or because of improvising for one time and then you just cancel it last minute just. like they should have reworded it down that's what i think so it's two separate problems you just do your race if your do your race and the rider problem is something else i think they should fix that they help them more. you know when you walk in the street you can see them all the people lying on the sidewalks despite pledges to

help migrants off the streets the greater paris region currently only has room to shell to seven hundred and fifty individuals far fewer than the number already here a number said to be growing in the hundreds each week organizers say they didn't want the camps to be cleared just so that the race could go ahead reluctant to be seen as a tool for social exclusion but safety concerns meant that they couldn't we reach either. participants have been offered refunds or a place in next year's event assuming of course there is one charlotte even ski aussie paris they want reality thanks thing with us this evening more coming your way in just over half an hour.

about your sudden passing i've only just learned you were a south and taken your last to bang turn. your attitude up to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry for me i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first

met my life turned on each breath. but then my feeling started to change you talked about war like it was again still some more fond of you those that didn't like to question our arc and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters in mind it's consumed with death this one quite different i speak to now because there were no other takers. claimed. mainstream media has its make. kind of financial survival john today was all about money laundering first to visit this cash in the three different. oh good that's a good start well we have our three banks all set up here maybe something in your something in america something overseas in the cayman islands or do we do all these banks are complicit in their tough talk received we just have to give mccall and say hey i'm ready to do some serious money laundering ok let's see how we did while

we've got home got a nice luxury watch for max and for stacy oh beautiful jewelry how about puck home luxury automobile again for max you know what money laundering is highly illegal don't be a crook watch kaiser of course. when lawmakers manufacture consent to stick to public wells. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the final merry go round listen to the one percent so. we can all middle of the room see. the real news room. for a world cup twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers

of local time but there was one more question and by the way who's going to be our coach. guys i know you are nervous is a huge star among us and the huge amount of pressure you have to go meet the center of the beach with all we do and we will show you all the great game the great game you are the rock at the back nobody gets past you we need you to get the ball going let's go. alone. and i'm really happy to join the for the two thousand and three and world cup in russia meet the special one was also gracious me to just say the review theology team's latest edition to make up a bigger. book. mom

welcome to. feature shevardnadze as well as relations with the west are put to test latimer put in a stake in the presidential office for the fourth time. what is your actual later. well i ask you bert bell german journalist who gave his view of the russian president and the documentary film i couldn't. hear exactly welcome to the show it's great to have you with us i haven't seen you in a while so we're finally doing this little chat and i'm glad we get to do this. so you've had unprecedented access to lead america. you personally came to an event about your book on him and you had face to face time with him during the shooting of your film about him he called you personally on the phone and you answer here bert i wonder why you i mean you may know more about our president than may be

because he's a very private person why does to trust you you know look at. that person you know right when it's a matter of time. it's a matter of time because we went quite some months to go through for the film so in the future would you too much come to. within three months distance for the book so you get to know each other a little bit and you know how over them you can trust to a certain extent and that's the basis we have this kind of promotion so while filming your documentary i putin back in two thousand and twelve you had the chance to see library putin in different settings. what was your personal opinion off him and what kind of vibes did you pick up usually public figures of his scale our one person off the screen and then another person on the screen do you feel he was

genuine did you sense like a public persona for the cameras being displayed for you. you know put it in the profession if you act like a professional of course but you have as to a certain extent an identity and if you want to convince you cannot really cuts your identity you have normally from the profession you perform so i think to a certain extent but he is a technician too of course and he is an actor as well because this business requires acting because you deal with journalists and children as well so we have both a profession and react so to speak along the profession but the longer you speak to each other the more you understand the way he acts and the way he argues and the way he is and that's so i mean i come from a family of a former president of what as well and i understand how these things work like that

when you're a leader you have to be tough the there's no room for emotions like your personal emotions don't really matter when you're you know handling global affairs you said that putin came across as very alive what kind of emotions did you get out of him during your conversations. he is an emotional guy so it is not very hard to play on the emotion but on the other hand he's a technician too and he knows exactly what he wants to transform or what we want to bring over so journalists and politicians have to. play along this road well and of course they have a common currency the common currency is the public and so they behave to reach this am to get their messages through and that's a kind of game on one side and then the other side it is quite serious because people rely and they trust what they get so to speak what they see and what they

hear so both parties have to develop this kind of art and to stick to their profession and i think all in all put in lives by two things by his emotion and he is. in the long to he place a very long game he's so to speak a. long distance runner in politics and that's the way they underestimate him like if you want a little example by putin obviously had been under a mistake for such a long time in the beginning of my research i found a memo by a big bang it was in the memo was from the year two thousand when he took over office and the analysts try to inform the board of directors what kind of guy this guy is what to expect and this implicit at that time. the mere vladimirovich is someone who got orders for the last ten years and these very happy to be in this position and he follows these orders and this kind of so to speak

underestimating this guy took place first in the beginning in russia and then it took place oh you mean the you mean internet perception of him as someone who would follow someone else's orders is that what you mean yeah that's the. it's one of the things that the second thing that you always have been warned of is you know this guy's a former k.g.b. guy he knows how to deal with people definitely it's true he worked once for this agency in there and he knows how to treat people but that's only one part of it this is a very direct dari and if you respond to this direct to this directness you get results but i mean direct is one thing but do you feel like everything he tells you is the truth or he can't allow himself to say that it isn't in this world no politician in this world tells you one hundred percent of the truth it's a tactical appearance to

a certain extent it's public and you want to transport something we are public that what the business requires but at the same time if you do lie and if you do lie too often you're not to be trusted and look to the figures basically from two thousand after two to today so if i think the figure. he had been elected with the percentage i think fifty three percent and if you go to twelve years later when he returned from the prime minister job he got a thing sixty four percent and now he's somewhere it nearly seventy seven percent so you have a steady growth and you cannot reach this in just lying to the population and. to you. to russia so to speak so when describing his persona you mentioned the fact that he had a k.g.b. background and western media as well as establishment often put some special focus on put in the past as an intelligence officer i mean we all come from different

backgrounds what is so special about that george bush sr was cia had before he became us president now but he so this is a problem. no it is not a real a problem because it is the mony sation basically what it is our of former foreign minister to us conclude was two years head of the b. and d. so that you can use it as a kind of picture as a kind of threat from the past because we are all living on prejudices and if you develop these prejudices you can be somebody you know politics is theater it's trauma and the difference between. interests and so to speak are is very very big occasionally but it was always the case this way and so as far as putting was concerned they use these three verbs.

and i think this nothing else because it's just. a way to. say ok this guy is lying you cannot do anything different you don't trust him but it's a p.r. weapon nothing more so i want to go back to your film i know that there was a scene where put into q two a chapel and he talked about his faith why did you leave that scene out of the film i found it very very personal so i had more material than i needed so i had to think what to use and what not to use and i found that in the very moment ok it's very private it is very so to speak when the reveal to a certain extent so i left it out at the moment because i found other things more important in that context that's the reason for that. because he rarely opens up to anyone like that i mean he spoke to you about his face and he actually you know

allowed you to be there while speaking about it. and he knew it was going to be in film it's weird that you would live it out i'm just this is a journalist talking in me and you actually got a lot of other moments where he was very well nerve will not only the one in the chapel and that's a very rare side of putin as well you see the russian president in a lot of situations you're unsure of occasion during hockey practice. how did you get him used to your cameras and just to be himself or did he never did he never knew about the cameras. i'm not quite sure about that but he never gave it a kind of direction we were just there we were just watching and didn't get any kind of. direction to do this or to do that so i think he got accustomed after a certain time that we are present and it worked that way and. i'm not a very hostile person. to very hostile journalist i watch

try to understand an hour and i have questions so i'm not in a constant fighting position because my philosophy is very simple i think. people first of all have an understanding of what they are seeing and can charge by themselves so i don't have really to press for any kind of. insight or to to present myself self as a very critical guy i am critical but i just simply ask questions and leave my views to decide whether this was ok whether this was bad whether this was a lie or good or noble so this is a tendency my work is concerned and secondly if you. are not all the time saying behave this way behave that way it looks better this way or that way it works works it works easier it works much better better so i mean this film really opens up witness personality and in the way that you see him in situations and that

nothing extraordinary be just random situations that a human being would find himself they would just say we've never seen put in like that before like hunting practice in hockey swimming or like hugging is dogge why do you think your country and the western audience in general need it to see this side of him. because we have stereotypes you know we mentioned this k.g.b. thing beforehand and so it is an incarnation of the evil and the longer our stresses facts like that the more. the more they become so to speak real so with the fictionalized reality to a certain extent by writ by repetition and i thought ok this guy is a human being as you and me is a put it situation he was at the right time at the right place and he tries to develop something for his country ok and going away from this kind of.

trenches.
