of what he was putin can't it's been it's been produced for years. well actually it's not a put in what it's. now the world in russian this putin i mean etymology of this word is different and sometimes it's very hard to to prove to prove that in a certain composition the world. belongs to understanding of putting this journey to get them you know sometimes it's a very tricky situation really it's very hard to prove but definitely. mr prime minister himself and all of us working with him we are trying to be very careful about not letting his name being used in proper and proper stance. he himself is favoring the cases where his name is used for for promotion over healthier way of living for promotion let's say eight children. yes yes for sports or promoting sports for promoting whatever useful but certainly i mean using his name for promoting and party in a private club. in my opinion is proper and unwanted for us. way of using his name and i hope it is not using commercial purposes that is actually history to. prohibited by law and we're going to ha

by answering a question who's mr putin here and. i want to. you mentioned. al mentioned the upcoming elections in which he may take part as a presidential candidate mr gorbachev you know that russian star of russian politics and celebrated his eightieth anniversary recently giving a couple of interviews and in some of them he criticized sharply both medvedev and putin in particular one of the things that he blamed them for is that he said why are these two people going to decide who we should have as the next russian president so why isn't putin answering to this criticism and do you agree that mr gorbachev had grounds for such criticism. well first of all i would rather say once again but truly tauriel means a primitive. and current state. mr prime minister has always been very tolerant towards criticism this is where he's not answering it he's extremely flexible and he's tolerant towards the criticism. the reason i think this is my personal point of view the reason that no answer came from either of the subjects of the criticism of mr gorbachev you all fro

secure yes trucks viewing the new russian problems with uncertainty but the recent visit vladimir putin paid to brussels following the dramatic events in the arab east has shown that the european energy sector investors are returning to russia to what degree is this change politically motivated first ask the press that play out the russian prime minister dmitry peskov. after the gas transit crisis two years ago european started to actively look for alternatives to russian gas supplies to launch the idea of their own to buku pipeline gastronomy at least and some to asia but the project is still just a pile of paperwork the liquefied natural gas is becoming increasingly popular with investors what trying to diversify their shipping possibilities but it looks like you but it can certainly be that interest is coming back to russia. good miter thank you very much for coming and i will ask the user to be here with you again the pleasure so i was going to move first of all i just. can to my mind that many years ago when on the first news conferences one of the first questions to your boss was

first news conference is one of the first questions to your boss was who is mr putin well i think it be appropriate to ask you this question now who is mr would feel today just a prime minister a candidate for the next presidency the leader of the united russia party or whatever whatever who is if it's. well currently he's a prime minister you don't go who you know you know i'm working for the good to do a thing as his preferred press secretary well. if you look at this. question in a broader sense well maybe he's he's a bit of everything that you have mentioned. i don't know about next next elections presidents elections said since we still have lots of times before we have this elections and since it's not a proper time to think about it it's a proper time to think about current affairs about current work and this is what we're doing so if we speak reality because the french say he's the prime minister and that he's the prime minister in

after they were cancelled in japan because of the earthquake prime minister vladimir putin offered her russia to step in and take over the finals and now the international skating federation has agreed to accept the weeklong torn it will get underway in moscow on april the twenty fifth. which was that you didn't see a national blow to sure france and counterparts that all the athletes and supporters will feel tell dirigible champ you should see moscow for the russian national finals will be the first could you should be discreet because our squad consists of very young skaters so it's the beginning of a long road for them. to stay on in preparations for such a. national. let's stay on the ice but move to the k h l where sound about you live have won the first game needs some conference final against magnitogorsk the home side edging out the visitors if all three in the ensoul about scoring are to just thirty seconds through the graeme kirk door of equalised mesler before elemental put them in front minutes later but salad at home three on the trot to leave third

get these games absolutely six countries they wanted the games after japan russia got it sadly or putin stepped in and now they've got it so we have more on that story plus the rest of the sports have it coming up right. the happy with this this is for today i mean only love these are some of the stories we're covering this. couple dined prime minister vladimir putin confirms that moscow will host the twenty eleven world you're sitting championships. so he starts at lunch trash talking which he became one of their cage else in the final series. of the four wheels to four legs for the one shot and sebastian vettel spots his red bull racer for a bite she said of the string round three. one that story coming up but we do start with the news that russia will host the twenty eleven world figure skating championships tokyo was the whole the event this week but the recent mega quake tsunami and subsequent nuclear threat in japan means all sporting events there are counsel for the forseeable future prime minister vladimir putin offering some days ago for russia to step in and take over the fina

global center of sport for the next decade or so according to the country's prime minister vladimir putin all these major sporting events will not only improve russia's sports infrastructure i will also help attract international tourists to the country. we must use the preparations for the twenty fourteen olympics in sochi and a world cup in twenty teams the advancement of sport for the masses these tournament should also pave the way for widespread construction of training facilities seems to listen to or centers in russia we must leave an extensive heritage after those events i suppose the world cup can also help us attract the attention of tourists from all over the world. let's continue with ice hockey work a show new comers as you grow were unable to salvage their maiden season the men from. failing to extend their debut past the opening round of the playoffs and losing a little in their best of seven series the men from. closing mode on the roads are moving into the second round after a confident four one when in. regular season champions have been guard fairly steadily live in the

and opposition in moscow boosting trade ties also one joe biden as was does he joins a lot of your putin on day two of his visit. more thoughts on libya now is our to hear from britain's former ambassador to the country oliver miles says the reaction such as the un's travel ban on khadafi is in his opinion questionable. today i'm talking to you all of the miles he's a former british ambassador we're going to be talking about the situation in the country at the moment the west response to it and how it might unfold out of miles thank you very much for talking to r.t. now isn't the west's response to the situation in libya dangerously close to what we saw before the invasion of iraq i'm thinking of this pre-pay snow flies saying these claims that we've heard that he has chemical weapons and also this talk around the world of military intervention. well there is a parallel but i think there are some important differences to look on the one i think i'd focus on is that the although there's been some. rather bellicose talk from both london and washington and perish. the what they've actually

so prime minister vladimir putin promising all help the russia can give to japan as they attempt to deal with the consequences from this earthquake tsunami and then the nuclear problems that they're facing out fukushima with the risk of meltdown still a possibility there and he's right says the far east e.u. it doesn't kilometers over the sea from japan so what's the situation there like of the moment and there were any concerns in connection to what's going on in japan. well there are a russia very very close very very close to the japanese mainland and very close indeed to where this is all going on in fukushima. before very very close to the seaboard of japan and also the russian far east in seaports in the city of lot of a major port there also the island the sakhalin very very close to this very very many people who are worried there about the potential of nuclear for out coming towards them any kind of cloud of nuclear dust now the russian nuclear monitoring services have been wanting to what they wanted to watch over the next twenty four hours very closely to see if there are any

deal and it was a very useful deal for us but after all sarkozy and berlusconi and condi rice and mr putin and everybody else have all done deals with libya so there's nothing especially british about it it's the world has been doing business with libya and in my opinion quite right too because after all libya has all which we need the world market needs that libya needs from the world practically everything else from from airplanes to grains and some of them when i say we it's not the west or britain or europe it's everybody everybody china taiwan russia indonesia brazil you name it they're all there everybody's i'm quite right too and we've recently seen a diplomatic mission to benghazi that's ends in the capture of an s.s. team is the u.k. actively trying to engage with the records well i hope so i mean don't speak too much about that it was so-called i think it's rather embarrassing i don't think it would produce diplomacy at its best to be frank i have said that from the british media as well but yes we should be talking to the rebels i think it's. it's a difficult thing to do it's no

putin said the u.n. resolution is to fight and flawed and that military intervention into libya cannot be justified well the pretax of involvement in libya was to protect civilians but the next point to where you are struck record of starting military campaigns on false clowns carnage that can look so questionable justification for invading iraq eight years ago. air strikes in libya a humanitarian act to protect civilians from a dangerous they cater that's the reason given by the u.s. and its allies for their latest military for e. but when it comes to justifying its wars america has become the nation that cried wolf especially now when one of the key sources use the head of the two thousand and three iraq invasion as it made it feel light but i just wanted to do something for my country and i'm satisfied there is not a teacher there anymore if i must i would do the same thing again i have no regrets rafique made all want to be a curveball was seeking asylum in germany back in two thousand a told german

russia is pledging to jointly develop a new nuclear power plant in belarus prime minister vladimir putin met with his russian counterpart in minsk on tuesday to reiterate russia's position. it was not really sure but we are facing a crisis related to what is happening in japan which will certainly influence the global economy we intend to go ahead with our plans to build a nuclear power plants and bulbs the project we're going to develop on campus leaders c.t. and technological advancements. a. second ago how an asian markets reacting to a situation in japan would have reacted rather massive selloff on tokyo stock exchange continued on tuesday investors will try to guess just how bad the transmitter company could be there for the nikkei is down ten and a half a sentence heard consecutive slap on contango bank records motors closing the session and down almost three percent the increased losses were compounded by japan's prime minister's statement that a quote from standstill amount of radiation or anything the regime a nuclear power plant. what we have seen today is just an over reaction

four pm here in moscow this is our coming to you live let's get straight to our top story the dinner putin has called the u.n. resolution authorizing action in libya flawed saying it resembles medieval calls for a crusade russia's prime minister says foreign forces should not protect one side in what he describes as a political conflict let's get more now from our correspondent catherine mazar of us she joins us live. that's really not one of the reports and didn't hold back obviously about these events in libya tell us exactly what he said. and he said russia has always expressed concerns about the current intervention in libya of course for held by u.s. and european coalition forces. but flooding approaches remarks are perhaps the strongest we've heard so far concerning this coalition intervention but it was an slammed of the intervention basically saying that it resembles a medieval course age and that the boundaries of resolution one nine hundred seventy three signed by the un security council are definitely being overstepped. the reserves to the un security council resolution is undou

magic of the disaster that you know of as the situation for all the trash in prime minister vladimir putin immediately offered all or available the system stewardship and colleagues and even the shipment of gets the amount of radiation being released now and the amount of radiation that will be released in the coming few she is so great that actually the whole global the fact that you know the disaster chernobyl were only one poll unit was affected you know this really should call the whole globe so the magnitude of the looming disaster that cannot be predicted now but definitely it's going to be one of the worst disasters in the world history but even with an update on the latest news concerning japan's devastating earthquake and tsunami on the twitter page currently the number of those confirmed dead stands at over three thousand but there have been some positive stories to emerge learning that's an elderly man and woman were rescued ninety six hours after the earthquake struck we can learn all about that on twitter but with the latest developments on our account just not on our team und

one he's going to meet with the president of russia need to be a different prime minister by doing putin as well the reset of relations between russia and the united states has been going on for around two years now there are definite signs of improvement and the building of friendly ties but nevertheless the views of each side on some key international issues remain different than libya is no example is no exception since the united states is supporting the idea of getting involved into the sit in the situation in libya specifically the idea of shutting down the libyan airspace which in reality would mean of the libyan planes could be shut down if they take off if this ban is in force and also libyan anti aircraft systems could be neutralized too to make it see for me to pilots to patrol libyan skies a rush on the other hand is against all intervention into the situation so we'll have to wait and see if the two sides to keep boarders will be able to reach some sort of a joint understanding on this issue and if joe biden's visit will continue this tendency of the building and from eateri

but it shouldn't be done at the expense of human life such as the opinion of prime minister vladimir putin. there's a civil war going on in libya the proposal of a no fly zone was aimed at preventing gadhafi from firing into his opponents and so as protecting civilians such a decision applying to sovereign state is a difficult one again is well intentioned and what are we seeing now strikes on the whole charity of the country and how can it be that while aiming to protect civilians such means actually isn't this civilian death toll actually rises. well for more on the struggle in libya and the implications let's talk now to lindsey german from the start the revolution in love with a very good even back at the beginning of march will recall that we robert gates was visiting a stand in his conversation with general petraeus that was actually caught on record much of their embarrassment you recall that i'm sure that the public in chief was jokingly asked if they were planning strikes on libya so it was yeah exactly you know but then it was perceived as a joke judging by what we're witnessing

also today we should point out defense secretary robert gates arrived in russia and vladimir putin took that moment to slam the military strikes in libya, saying it was like a medieval crusade. those are fighting words clearly intended to incite the entire arab world. that was enough to draw a rebuke from russia's president, medvedev, but it does overshadow the trip. >> chuck todd, who's traveling with the traveling white house in south america, chuck, given the fact that the machinery of the presidency can now move with the executive in a way it never did decades ago, is the criticism the president is getting from the other side, does it have to do with where he is physically or the aspects of this attack and how it was carried out? >> reporter: well, brian, it has to do with the fact that they were caught a little bit off guard by how much criticism they're getting from members of congress. part of this is geographical. it would be a lot easier if the president were sitting in the oval office and a republican senator, like richard lugar, has a bunch of questions, he physically brings
