some indications from top people including mr putin and mr madrid of which basically say that they're going to push forward with their quiet strong reform agenda and that some of the central bank people and government people said that could lead to a reversal in the capital flow trends to russia and we might see pickup in investment so the caucus certainly there however there is not much of a concrete stuff happening and basically in my understanding significant part of investor community is still waiting on the sidelines to see how the russian domestic story plays out whether russia would be capable to provide more incentives for both domestic and foreign investors to put their money into russia and that's very important factor so i mean figure to you it's interesting because all of the elements are in place or we just don't know what the puzzle piece what the real picture is going to look like in the end because we do know the reformist agenda is still very much out there we've looked at some of the energy policies that putin that what he said he's going to introduce he's reaching o

bail out companies to try to stability situation in russia so now looking into the next term of mr putin actually i think there is this recognition that government resources are fairly limited even though there is a reserve fund and i actually expect that to grow however i expect that the russian government will be forced to become more liberal in the same agenda to forward to it to try to deal with that and with the many. complicated and perhaps difficult structural problems or which team has just mentioned rather than sitting on the sidelines and hoping that windfall revenues coming from our prices will enable you to have enough cash to put. the growth in on track so i think there is a big recognition that the private investors should come and this requires a lot of steps that should be taken all right gentlemen we're going to go to a short break and after that short break we'll continue on talking about the brushes investment environment state is on the money. well to. talk about one mean cleaning machine from university labs to the outer reaches of the stratosphere the russians want

the prime minister or the post of the leader of united russia so that mr putin is getting rid of this board the burden of being a leader of unpopular party. what are you going to do to become the party's leader or not really become the member of it or are you going to join the party so is it leader and member or leader not members. but. yet here you are into ok marianna it's not like larry shuffling it was not like gasoline chairs i realize that wouldn't go there analysts. can we use this kind of expression but we will put in became president after hearing serious political struggle and he received a lot of support from the political people not supported him there would have been no castling there's no reshuffling us up with that lapel the same applies to the office of prime minister is that you have to achieve it you have to be voted in by the state duma the last of course. the u.s. input is associated with the united russia i support them they support me. it's now as regards your question about what will happen but at the instant hardy wise yeah so in the party. i don't understand w

your presidential term is coming to them and everyone is interested and the duo of you and mr putin since you are changing places so this duo is that concert factor in the russian politics from now on as well as before us and in your opinion how effective is. this kind of governmental approach. that. all those words that used to irritate me and now i got accustomed to them i like to tell you. we're not just political with we're friends we have twenty years. next i don't think that bed when future of the country and the political process. depend on one person only because he may have some crazy idea in there. but he knew my it's good when the decisions made alex your discussion when there are several people in a country which they can all contribute to the political process on this i think this is normal this is progress towards democracy when you have to do three five or seven to ten people like that what's the whole i think this makes this is secure and this is not something invented by us constituency yet it's not nor in the mentioned that there are but he pulls that within the constitu

been an active arms dealer since two thousand and three and believes that there is no proof that mr putin was looking for opportunities to deal with terrorists or kill americans victor boot for the first time stood up and addressed the courtroom he said that he never intended to kill anyone or sell arms to anyone he said that is the truth and then he turned around and pointed his finger at the agency that testified against him saying that they know that what he's saying is the truth yes he expected the sentence because i believe the judge is very intelligent very professional it's an acknowledgment of the invalidity of the accusations made by the prosecutors i think the judge was much constrained by the rules of choosing to close the case. mr booth in a recent interview said he was the victim of a u.s. propaganda and mainstream media narrative that was bestowed upon him without any truth there was a movie made about him but lord of war and he said the u.s. press him the merchants of death and that he is just a legitimate businessman since the very big. giving mr boot has maintained his in

i do think we want to avoid giving mr. putin and any other russian nationalists who might look to nuclear forces to revitalize their greater sense of a greater russia. we want to avoid giving them any in any event or suggestion that we are conceding to them this trapping of superpowerdom. i'm not suggesting we get in their face and expand nato. i do bloef on nuclear forces we need to be careful about not drawing down unilaterally and we need the arsenal to be safe and reliable. however, if you mandate or premise those basic qualities in the nuclear arsenal you can save a lot of money, i believe by doing some things differently. i don't think it matters that much each and every detail of our war fighting plan, of our integrated operational plan. we can be a little more relaxed than we used to be. for example, instead of sailing 14 try dent submarines with ballistic mys and distributing the allowable warheads you should the new star treaty across the 14 platforms i would reduce down to eight ships ef they have the capacity. they w
