vladimir putin was very critical of that.whether putin -- he started to assert himself in the foreign policy arena by the fall of 2011. and the russians had vetoed successive attempts by the u.n. security council to face more resolute action might syrian regime. that was the resolution to perfect them, nato and the u.s. used it in an authentic way. also, there is a vibrant tangible spirit. they see the protests that occurred in russia earlier in the year against vladimir putin. they see the hand of the united states and us. that is why they picked up some of the ngo organizations supported by the united states. so vladimir putin sees his position or is similar to that. they don't like change. they feel that u.s. intervention in iraq has failed. and they made the entire middle east worse. they don't want to see it happen again in syria. of course, it protects their own interests. it was one of the last areas in the middle east. but they have to be careful. i mean, the united states stuck with shah and one. and we incurred the

vladimir putin rarely listens to a large circle of people. he gets his information from a very restricted circle of people. he is not a tech-savvy guy the way dimitry medvedev was. if you have had the misfortune of reading this question me as i do, he lives in what may be called an echo chamber of paranoid reflecting each other's paranoia and that. the russian belief that the country is under siege, and i use that term advisedly, from a western effort to undermine the stability of the russian government and replace it, and that the allies of the west, russian democrats feeds into this. that is the first point. democracy threatens russia. there was an essay in the wall street journal making clear democracy was the biggest threat to democracy and is the -- and still is. there's a profound fear on the part of the government of any manifestation by the public. in russia or elsewhere. the middle east is an example that could spread to russia and the russians know it. russia is quite a long or at least was quite alarmed that you would see in centra

vladimir is the sports editor at b 92 radio in belgrade. >> it was a really badtempered game. everything was ok until the english team went in the last minute and then all went wrong. serbian supporters claim that they were provoked by some of the english players, and what followed was really, really ugly. i suppose you saw the scenes. fighting all over. it was many things. >> well, let's speak now to our correspondent in the capital of belgrade. i don't know how much of that you heard. he called it ugly but that's something of an understimet, isn't it? >> yes. and vladimir's own organization b 92 is described as a scandal on their website and another popular media outlight a popular tabloid got footage of what went on and the headline serbian shame and talking about a racist riot. so actually the reaction here has been in some ways every bit as fures as we're seeing from the united kingdom. i think people are embarrassed by it. serbian supporters have been embarrassed. serbian fans were throwing flares on the pitch and in the crowd and five years ago a similar incident involv

they besieged the virgin mary to rid russia of vladimir putin. in court today, the defense lawyer argued that her client should be treated more leniently because she had not been given the chance to perform these controversial punk prayers at the christ the cathedral. even before her guitar was taken out of the case, she was taken out of the building. protests were held outside of the courthouse. the female punk group is out of tune with the public opinion. believe that the sentences lenient -- tehe sentence is lenient. yekaterina samutsevich has apologized, but she does not believe she has committed a crime. >> more still to come. could solar storms knocked your navigation way off course -- storms knock your navigation way off course? the teenage active is shot by the taliban in northern pakistan has been visited -- the teenage activist shot by the taliban in northern pakistan has been visited by a general. she became famous after she criticized the taliban for targeting schools like hers. the taliban has warned that even if malala yousafzai sur

president vladimir putin is already voicing his support, giving a very strong indication that it will go ahead. >> bp ben is -- bp is spending #13.1 billion -- 13.1 billion euros. the remaining shareholders have sold their stake to rosneft, reading a new oil giant controlled by the kremlin. russian president vladimir putin has given his blessing to the deal, saying it sent the right signal to markets. "this is a good, large deal that is necessary not only for the russian energy sector, but also for the entire russian economy." but the british company is also hoping to extend its influence within russia, with bp receiving rosneft shares alongside cash in the deal. it will have a chance to be more active in russia. russia is consolidating its position as a global energy power. for years, it has dominated the international gas markets with gazprom. now it is a giant in the oil industry, but it is paying a high price. the takeover has cost the russian state billions, money that russia urgently needs to modernize its outdated industry. >> germany's natural -- the biggest natural gas produc

. >> to russia now, and president vladimir putin is looking to consolidate national control over the country's oil industry. >> the state-controlled oil giant is looking to expand. >> from what we're hearing, they're offering a stock and cash offer worth about $25 billion. bp is remaining tight-lipped about any possible deal. >> the headquarters of the world's biggest oil producer could be -- could soon be a stone's throw from the kremlin. they want to buy bp's 50% stake and its joint venture. >> that means that the country's third largest oil company is based imaging being taken over by the biggest one pier that would create a new giant that produces about 40% of russian oil. >> president vladimir putin is backing the deal. the future of bp and russia was discussed a few years ago. some analysts believe the acquisition is not in the industry's best interests. >> obviously, if i instead of -- if instead of two major players you have only one, that is not likely to stimulate competition, regardless of what the antitrust authority may say. competition will suffer. >> but bp is not plan

>> this russian need for insecurity goes back centuries but vladimir putin is not trying to recreate the warsaw pact. won't invade the baltics. the limited invasion of georgia is all he can muster. russia lacks the military band width to take back central asia. he can forgive loans, he can maneuver around, but swedish banks are very busy in the baltic states. the polish military is developing yet the russians are trying to acquire electricity grids and other infrastructure and banks now that the european union lacks financial capacity to develop places like serbia and ukraine the way they did in the yearly part of the last decade in the 1990s so russia is not coming back as the new soviet union. it is a substantial regional power that can be contained through normal means, through negotiation and arming our allies. why did the poles and romanians bill along with us on missions in iraq and afghanistan and special forces and marine tee placements in sub-saharan africa? not because they support everything we do but because loopholes and romanians and others know that it is not native of
