deputy prime minister spotlight will be back shortly after we take a break so we will continue this interview in less than a minute stay with them. but did i kill innocent. or was it a call this of course and that's never absent. from this cosco what. i think of it every day. i stay out of flashback trouble to memorise a. bad lesson was a long time i'm just here trying to go. i was. i was ashamed that i had been wounded that i was ashamed that i hadn't been a hero. why. would i want to be. believe what i was going on once or i think. that i was a good soldier. but now most soldier on the other side and i think i'm just an. old wooden. bringing you the latest in science technology from the realms. we've. covered. for the full story we've got. the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news maker. back to spotlight i'm just a reminder that my guest in the studio today is alexander deputy prime minister and president of the russian olympic committee. mr zucker after our team success in the junior games in singapore you said the following i quote in the future we would like to host such games in russia for example and cazan will have a whole infrastructure's for that end of quote when can we be ready for that. quite recently the general assembly of olympic committee is in mexico we met with mr wrong the president of the i.o.c. and discussed this issue that he suggested that we should think about hosting the youth winter olympics of twenty eighteen. years and possibly the youth summer olympics in ca's on twenty twenty. unlike big events like the winter and summer olympics and world cup championship which they usually choose the country is aware of the infrastructure rezone we developing what you're in the i.o.c. has another opinion about the youth of dance they think that there are to be held at minimum costs then there's money because they're less profitable bright they're not profitable and besides there are four children saw in this case because on we'll have the entire necessary infrastructure in we wound have to build anything and beer they cost that they will be ready to host the youth olympics after two thousand and thirteen and twenty fourteen respectively. mrs wykoff you've mentioned the crisis here which was a very tough year for russia but now the economy seems to be getting better it will actually russia's money and its huge money. but will the budget of such a big countries russia manage such a number of sports events social impacts university a we should mention the world cup championship twenty eighteen formula one plus many other scheduled events we hold in this gun. these are huge expenses that. you know i have known that will fulfill all our financial obligations regarding both government expenses and private in this instance you know that in this month for the olympics and the world cup are mostly private films and i've talked about studios construction so part of them will be built at the cost of private investors and clubs. but i would like to see that both the olympics and the world cup of the twenty eighteen year before they were even profitable projects from an economic mute point everything that will be built will not disappear but will stay there. at the cost and found the costs a passion a return on selling t.v. arise and it's outright of course tourism and many other things it's related to both sports infrastructure and other things like new hotels roods and so forth sure it's a big investment into the country's economy. when we speak about the olympics it's about the development of the sochi resort which is going to be both the winter and summer resort the one the other cheese so we can speak about the development of any russian cities. let's see if russians themselves are excited about hosting huge sporting events. that has tried to find that hi there well recently russia was chosen to host the two thousand and eighteen world cup with that it's huge event which will be held in russia only or puter. well let's see the russians think that they country suppose such event is a big games world cup formula one grand prix. yes i think we should in order to develop a sports infrastructure but as we see yes it will be good for the development of our sport but it should also serve as a good incentive for our youth yes i think it is a good investment for our country and i'm going to i think we should only host the world cup and not believe the games because i think that money which will be spent on the olympics should be spent on people however the world cup will help better the conditions for our soccer team next you know because our government should first of all think about our people and improve their living and social conditions if they knew that you would not i think we don't need to lose they didn't because there are so many other areas in our country which are in need of government support i don't think those events are any good to our country. i think it will be good for the status of the country but i think those events will have a negative impact on the economy of our country. out of the alexander he's going to question five guest morbidly group and it will give us a flood to convince through a tax increase for russians more reliable polls in russia about people's opinion on such olympics if we held the polls ourselves says it's one of the i.o.c. is requirements at the bidding stage at that time about eighty percent of russians voted for the salt your winter olympics new and now. people apprehensive yes of course the yard but we have to realize that social programs like their state health care program to pensioners program more than a program on education and hosting the olympics in the world cup are not alternatives that are likely doesn't mean that he will hold the world cup championship who will stop financing social programs it's not so much the program. i repeat that that in my opinion those events cannot be viewed as expenses. on the contrary they provide economic development for the country and at the end of the day they boost economic growth which will cover the costs at the expense of mr after the games in vancouver serious criticism was made about the russian national team and russian sportsmanship and a serious conclusion obviously suggests itself i do recently you've mentioned in speaking about preparations for the olympics two thousand and twelve in london you said so far we cannot compete for the championship with the teams from the u.s. and china is it a conclusion made after vancouver games and what are the conclusions have you made you. know in this quarter i was talking about the summer olympics because the chinese are not so strong in winter sports as yet. in the summer of twenty eight twelve london will host the summer olympics. and then sought she twenty four team comes students there good at the previous olympics in we were third the chinese who were first in their mir can scheme second. object to it i think at present the situation is approximately the same there was shorting to the results over all the world competitions you know one picks poor it's which have already taken place in two thousand and ten we are second after the chinese with a small difference of won the gold medal if i'm not mistaken. but to make it fear we should admit that there were no championships in swimming and track and field in which americans usually get a lot of medals of course so to dig the distributional forces approximately like that it may change before the london olympics we have. in rivals in the united kingdom they will be at home and at home everyone usually has the advantage of this the germans are strong but at the same time ones are favorable circumstances so we could go further our task is to do the utmost to train our athletes we worked out into regional training programs were each sport in each federation we allocate significantly bigger amounts of money for preparation so of course we expect the results to improve which sounds good so what can you disclose a secret right now i know there are of us but we will make this sound lower can you say is there a goal to become number one in the sochi olympics there is such a wish. yes the research a goal. was behind it it's clear there's the olympic success depends on the organizers efforts everything should be organized perfectly but we want these olympics to be the best in history and we understand that success so so depends on how our athletes perform with the nationals so our program is meet soon that our team should be first in this that when you have an unpleasant question for you who is the georgia has started to discredit income pain against the sochi olympics at an international level. it is news already and the thirty ninth general assembly of the european olympic committees you had to struggle if i can say so in your opinion does georgia have a chance to sabotage the sochi olympics. force i'm sure the tour wound find support for its initiative to boycott the olympics or call it off in the i.o.c. is not on the money almost all i.o.c. members have a firm position on that it looks strange because sports beyond politics which are it's an axiom of the international olympic movement in all the provocations are related to tenths of cost. games under different predicts will not lead to anything but. i think that sports are going to see the olympic committee in georgia understand it very well. but unfortunately georgian politicians though not all of them of course will resort to such brawl with cations but in my opinion they have no chance for success one more question about scandals have to doping scandals the international ski federation gave russia time till november first to adopt a new antenna adopting program what's new in the program did russia manage to adopt it and what was the international ski federation's reaction might be a ride by november first we presented all program in a set of measures which the f.i.o.s. demanded from us in connection with the doping cases. you know and i'll be satisfied yes d.f. i ask is fully satisfied by the thank that we have removed the athletes and trainers who were involved in developing scandals. i must see that it's the policy of the russian olympic committee and the government there and the sports ministry to fight doping in russian sports or issues comes in and i think we will be very strict about that in the future space about space to both shows go into the thank you very much for being with us and just a reminder that by guest in the studio today was alexander the deputy prime minister and president of the russian national olympic committee and that's if an out from all of us here if you want to have your sales problem with someone in mind who you think i should enter the next time just to play like that i'll get off the bat out are you and that's probably interact we will be back with more that have a comment on what's going on in and outside russia as well then stay on party and take. that's. the big. the big. dig. peak. oil show his. hotel. the town.

moscow and st petersburg i'm joined by buddies card he's a political analyst from the russian institute of globalization studies and social movements thanks for being with us this evening the rallies held in moscow and st petersburg both turned violent do you think this is an expression of anger at the founds data or is there something more to which. i think it's very serious because these things were kind of coming full wide a period of time because of the authorities were not truly taking it seriously and i think first of all the nationalist far right is working very hard to mobilize the football fans into different nationalist and the new nazi groups and they're doing a lot of propaganda with a lot of success at the same time and the third is were really taking that into question the groups. actually accusing them of causing trouble and being with those on rest and as a result of that we see what's happening we see that we all have to face these new challenges all national strides conflicts in most because and it is good which is very very serious in a country like russia. what do you think the demonstrators are hoping to achieve by staging this kind of violence on the streets. well. basicall
