of course for those living that but only not to let those people starve to death. the other thing in clues to everybody's heart in the world is growing conflict in the world growing potential global war and like me putin was asked about a potential nuclear war the use of nuclear weapons and he said that you know that would be absolutely catastrophic but he also said that the global security order mechanism is fraying it is unraveling nations are pulling out of weapons limitation treaties and this is sparking an arms race because the balance is gone usually assured destruction which is worked for decades and decades is now failing and this growing arms race bodes nothing good. shows the u.s. is now leaving the i.n.f. treaty going to happen it's hard to imagine what if the rockets are located in europe what should we do of course we will have to insure our security with some

concrete steps let them not say later we are trying to get some advantage we're not trying to get some advantage but merely to seek your balance to ensure our security . in the. movie personal note i've been covering this q. and a session for many years now and this year of course a record number of journalists one thousand seven hundred and two journalists credited and in attendance and it's never you know quiet in there it's always a little bit chaotic when everybody gets a chance to raise that. question but this is seems especially allowed you know people really want to ask those questions yeah a lot of interesting questions as well ranging from dare i say mundane to the big global issues as well thank you very much our senior correspondent who's been glued to the screen for the past. three hours and twenty five minutes or so yet that is

still ongoing the q. and a in central moscow vladimir putin fielding questions from the press the media both from russia on a run the world gathered here in the russian capital. as i was saying the big issues and some smaller ones as well one of the things that i've been noticing as well while speaking was the questions are continuing one of the things of course was syria the situation there what is occurring there the american president donald trump. signaled his intent to a draw his. soldiers from two thousand u.s. troops from syria this year by the end of the year or soon after. his point of view on that he alluded to the situation in afghanistan saying that for seventeen years already be helping threatening to pull out there it hasn't

happened but did welcome at the overall sentiment the u.s. troops would be leaving syria also. staying with the syria theme wagner putin saying that syrian constitutional committee should be formed soon the reason it is so important is that if the constitution the new constitution is put forward in syria if the main parties agree to doubt then elections occur a democratic elections and hopefully then that would be. you know make huge inroads into a lasting peace process of course in the country at bragg's it was mentioned of course that was one of the main topics let's see though because it is ongoing this q. and a session let's see what else is being spoken about. what tier and what was the main event. that reached you. the first one was the presidential elections that is an important event for the entire. country in the

second event is the world cup again this is a very important event for our country and for the world. series place right there. yes. what a. comedown everybody. yes place. it in a higher number. mr president last year you sent the decree to transfer the capital of the far east where diverse talk from. so what are the plans of the government to strengthen the region first and foremost the pre more secure region and we have because if occasion and what do you think about unifying our region and the. as for any sort of if you need to cation this is actually a matter to be resolved by the regions themselves in accordance with the russian

law. sakhalin and the more secure region would like to unite then they should hold . special procedures for example referendum organize a true their legislative bodies just like you have it in your laws and second is self-sufficient region. they have a good budget average income is higher. than that off the region on the hall so this is a matter to be resolved between the two regions. as for strengthening the region and we have a comprehensive search of measures for the development of the far east. first and foremost creating proper conditions for development. far east hector the development of infrastructure ports airports. the support for x.p. . first and foremost known energy experts we are

going to keep working on that this is not going anywhere. so there is no doubt about that this is one of the key areas for countries development this is their pastor of a country in the far east and this gives us advantages we would keep developing science education will keep supporting the federal university. we were also work on developing ship building. and we are going to build a building plant in the davis talk you know that the first steps have already been taken those were major steps. we are going to build the biggest ships in russia there and such a large ships have not yet been built in the soviet times we are going to support

their every nation industry and all the plants would have relevant orders commission to them. and there's a whole new area also emerging space. and space activities. when you launch pad in. marine biology everything related to fisheries. we will keep all of that under our control and i do not doubt that we'll have some positive results now you're a new space. the which. good afternoon going to bring use. thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to ask my question the pleco down. the

u.n. and up to the resolution. on the mentor is a chanel thrasher of this year as a part of the black sea after what happened to the ukrainian vessels in the current strait there were reports that russia is supplying military equipment to crimea why russia wants to have a military build up in the region and is russia ready to declare the. neighbor area its territory part of its territory. in twenty fourteen and the people living in crimea came to the referendum and they voted. for the unification of crimea with russia. and after a search for a live into domestic procedures crimea. became part of the russian federation a part of russia. and at any part of our country we have the right to implement our military pull this city in the way that would provide for

our military security and crimea is no threat. if the general staff. our border guards believe that this has to be done we would do that russia's security would be in short we are not going to come up with something x. try but what is required it will be done. now as for the sea or as a and the coach straight. from the outset we said that we are going to build a bridge to connect us to crimea first we. acted so to say an energy bridge now we have to power plants being constructed in sevastopol and simferopol with the power off for one hundred forty megawatts we are using the road. and at the end of twenty twenty.

next year they're going to. b. it's going to be a two way road then there would be four way road. so we are not talking about the military buildup per se but also the civil infrastructure and that is going to take place we have the federal program for the development of crime here in place and coming two years. we've allocated three hundred billion rubles for the development of the region. at the same time we will also strengthen the military component as is required as for the courage straight. the situation is indeed very complicated because the strait is quite narrow and quite shallow just some thirteen metres in depth and at all times. there was pilot

navigation there and nothing stands in the way of putting a breach there. just like before pilots guided their ships that's the case nowadays their cargo turnover is growing there including in the ports of the sea of azoff. and all the economic players know the rules there is a queue right sometimes it can be longer or shorter. for them just look at the port of the. long queue of vessels there. on the eleventh of september of last year the ukrainian vets also including military brass also. have it here too all the rules of passing frew the straight and under the preach. did not have any problem with passing to this here of us off they were guided by our pilots and then they reached their port of just a nation nobody stood in their way we've aged them but this time it was different

this was a deliberate. cation as part of the election campaign of mr poroshenko. we said that we. we want to show him the ship tour and all and it's sad to pass coverage and what it means coverage without the pilots involvement no one knows what's going to happen. and those people in kiev who said that you and they talk about that they're ready to actually blow the breach up. we cannot allow that to happen. as for what you know day to day activities they're not limited in any way. as for the see if we have a treaty of two thousand and three and what does it state it states that. show area of five kilometers not according to the international standards twelve nautical miles about five kilometers from the shore this is the territorial waters of the

state or ukraine. and everything else is neutral area and what our futures were actually seized they were actually seized in those neutral waters they were not entering their territorial waters and they are still detained and here and use a silent about that as if it's common practice. the same was the case where our. navy members and west or was once again seized and nobody talks about that nobody remembers that we are ready to stick to our agreements and we are not taking any unilateral measures. as for military vessels you should keep in touch with border control because they are in charge of the region there. and considering there is martial law in place i can hardly imagine that military of

our souls would be passing to and fro but we want to. situation to get better we are not standing in the way off the passage of the naval traffic we've only helped them the last time this situation happened. you know. there's a placard saying you're oh. ok as the mere putin just pick sides his own questions there as we. but i do not know whether we're ending going towards the end of this q. and a we will go to and fro this q. and a but for now our senior correspondent rough gusty of has been watching and standing by murat i heard just the question asked there what was the biggest event of twenty thousand for you he said the russian presidential election on the world cup of course you almost forgot about that a lot being spoken about today you know well three and

a half hours in his best these five hours but i have a feeling we'll stop short of that with one of the recent questions that i found really interesting was fielded by a wall street journal will street journal correspondent he asked by the mayor putin you know a lot of people see was a threat it's a boogie man and he asked. do you want to rule the world to which putin replied yes of course. he was kidding but on a more serious note he added that if you're looking for a place that wants to rule over the entire world you won't find it in moscow he said that the united states its military might economic might will explain its desire for world again when he says russia has no such ambition it merely wants a respectable place on the international stage it wants to be an equal among equals

but another thing that was brought up of course is syria trump slater's declaration tweet that he would be pulling out american troops job done isis the screw it i'm glad me putin was asked me or putin was asked whether. he believed that. it would be because of the visionary concern in the us withdrawal from syria i don't really know what that means for example the us has been present in afghanistan for the past seventeen years and almost every year they say that they are withdrawing their troops but they are still there now is the presence of american troops needed in syria but i don't think so let's not forget the presence there is illegitimate but it was not agreed either with the un security council nor with the syrian government if the us plans to withdraw and that is the right decision. closest to every washington heart of sanctions which has

made life a little more painful for everybody in russia and putin was asked about those to which he replied look at look at history look at modern russia soviet russia sarris russia russia has always been under sanctions all forms there are restrictions put in place by enemies put in place by a hostile nations less than friendly nations who want to contain russians are prevented from developing from becoming too. powerful growing in strength and my colleague who's in that auditorium he could ask his question and tying into that he said mr putin what do you think of the reaction to the murder of the journalist shoji and the attempted poisonings of the script howls of putin said. he was assassinated everyone knows that there is evidence script is alive however

there are sanctions against russia and complete silence in the case of saudi arabia this politicized russia phobic approach is just another reason to attack russia if it was not script how they would have thought of something else this is obvious to me and the aim is one to hold russia's growth at any cost. ukrainian journalists also frequent guests in this q. and a session often very nationalistic waving banners and flags that make sure sorry we have to interrupt because it's just a very interesting question at the moment let's cross over here. the first president of. the year of. ask you to built or to rebuild the airport in grozny it has been rebuilt but. the construction reconstruction has not been finished and now the republican authorities are. discussing the second stage of its reconstruction with various

ministries how good your health is are we welcome thousands and thousands tourists in chechnya and the capacity of the airport does not correspond to this numbers and do we have the main avenue put in seven you do or we are building zuko powers which will have the name of putin you are supported widely now region and the churches. to respect you a lot now that's why i was like he from out to gay or correction. my colleagues. invited you there if you go there please come to us as well thank you. you can not come to you as well you have to one have to go there directly or. will be there i'll come to you as to the kids. we're dealing with this problem. we have the problem of returning people returning

kids still have their motherland to caucus says. rahm's unquote they have is doing that and we keep doing that as to the airport it is functioning and. it is far standing as international airport as well if you need something else . well amazon ahmadi which will come to me and we will discuss what else is needed i don't understand what else shall be done it is working and the airport is working but we'll see you thank you for your were invitation people's friendship over there . people's friendships. our senior correspondent does they have a still on the line we wanted to break in there because we just got the tail end

really one of the questions being asked by two when people left the caucuses region to go fight for ice or in syria and iraq they died there are children that were left in the country one of the big issues of this year and the last year was going was returning them to the country syria a recurring theme over the past three and a half hours today. yeah. as i said earlier plenty of themes covered from fuel prices to potential nuclear war but just to recap i believe we now have the video journal correspondent asking that amir putin you know many people think he was a threat. to do you want to rule the world mr putin. see many western politicians track spirits and even ordinary people.

even saying that you want to rule the world. of course that's how it goes. i just want to know do you really want this was surreal foreign policy talk of the ashes here. concerning ruling the world we know where the headquarters are located are those who want to do this it's not you can connect this to defense spending the u.s. spends over seven hundred billion dollars on. forty six billion of them in about all do you really think that's our aim is to rid the world of. this is just a cliche that's being imposed by the west in order to resolve their own domestic problems. as i mentioned earlier syria was also brought up. was asked what he thought about trump's latest that liberation tweet. that trump is planning on withdrawing american troops two thousand american troops from syria now that the job's done isis is the short end lead me putin was skeptical he said that

the united states has been in afghanistan for seventeen years and we've lost count of how many times they promised to pull out of their sanctions also i talked about putin asked what he thought what he thought how is russia going to continue under them he said russia is used to it we're adapting we've always been under sanctions for you know hundreds of years ago other nations seeking to contain constrain russia vented from growing too powerful and the use absolutely any excuse that they can to introduce more restrictions more sanctions ukraine came up the incident in curch the seizure of three ukrainian vessels and the war itself the war in ukraine and journalists always guests that welcome guests at the q. and a session displaying their colors proudly with ukrainian flags and provocative

questions. you could. put it to dinner i just wanted to ask you how much money do you spend on done by us people are starving and they've turned into slaves of russian frankly speaking as a way to be she's three members going to puzzles to talk with my old boss just tell me this who set the blockade between dumbass and the rest of ukraine that it was russia you know it was done by the ukrainian authorities they have been forced to for economic blockade of the territory they consider their own they shoot at those people consider their own citizens almost every day civilians die though we provide humanitarian support for those living that but only not to let those people starve to death. the other question an arms race global escalation potential global war even nuclear war lattimer putin said that the global security order

mechanism that has kept the world safe major nations from fighting each other for decades and decades since the second world war that mechanism is collapsing balance is disappearing and it is balance mutually assured destruction that has kept nations safe now that they're pulling out of treaties left and right the world arms race seems almost imminent and no one wins. shows the u.s. is now leaving the i.n.f. treaty. it's hard to imagine what if the rockets are located in europe what should we do of course we will have to insure our security with some concrete steps let's not say later we're trying to get some advantage we're not trying to get some advantage but merely to seek your balance to ensure our security. plenty more that was interesting of course more than three hours so far. that's just what we had time for but just got a more personal one thousand seven hundred two journalists

a record number in attendance this year clavering over each other to get to ask their questions we heard them mr peskov calling for order of ludmer putin himself multiple times so suddenly a lot of enthusiasm there as well but it was the top stuff thanks for bringing us the highlights of the thing q. and a from downtown moscow. but i cannot confirm in fact that hers finished the report and has exited the stage we will be back in moments with all the very latest on the recap of the past what three hours forty minutes long q. and a live from moscow there is r.t. international. imagine. this is thirty five if you have a career. involves using. your computer things like that being

in an office. perhaps you circling the senate circle. could have to stop this. must be for. my world became smaller and smaller and smaller until i ended up winning it. held in my head. think of it like a real hard pressure my skin burns and that wireless access point there it's just continuous all day with our students in the schools. we are just continually bathing our citizens in this microwave radiation it is certainly electro small and it's getting worse. what is the pin that's going to pop the global bubble back in two thousand and

eight it was a two thousand a subprime crisis. today i think we can safely say that the bubble popped but the collapse of deutsche bank. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. is over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes have to teach this. eighty five percent of global wealth you launch of the rich eight point six percent market saw a thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred trees per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need remember one one business shows you can't afford to miss the one and only boom but .

they all. suck oh please. yes to all this is all the proof. i. told.

many politicians. and even. they even want to. come back.
