does russia does president putin have in your red lines. secretary kerry will. have to pull out maybe not. you talked about russia and the united states working more closely after the attack in boston but this last year has been marred by a number of issues and you've referred to some of them syria missile defense the magnitsky act n.g.o.s adoption etc you spent it looks like two and a half hours with president putin did you make any concrete progress on those issues and does boston really change anything specifically in how the countries are going to work together. well. mistress of your ticket for stocks. as for the first question is that i can just be as one side said if ever there seems that we seriously i'm probably considering any answer even problems that relate to so that they use some of the chemical weapons here we're going to buy they need. specifically identify the facts which is important not to make those. houses such to paris where you have occasions in your students and those who fight on the ground. of occasions it was well known that so first o

putin and vladimir putin dozens of putin's have gathered in moscow to play a game which involves the kind of challenges a president might face on a daily basis one of them involve tracking down a corrupt official and capturing video footage of him taking a bride over some of the players admitted look bid to host the olympic games reports of the real push it was actually among those taking part couldn't be confirmed. i didn't recognize him there time now for business with katie she's joining us here in the studio i don't believe you got some positive news for us once you got markets are really on the rise there on the out there going north are actually global markets rising at the moment actually and why we don't actually know because you look at the economies are not typically well you know they're wanting to be growth that employment is still a big challenge so that is exactly the question we're asking the business but i said why is it a bubble is it and what does it all mean so we'll have analysis coming up after the break thanks very much. and yet another step along the pointless

telling putin that president obama believes the u.s. and russia are capable of cooperating on syria, iran, north korea and economic issues. to describe recent relations between the u.s. and russia as frosty. would be something of an understatement. just last month, the two countries were engaged in a tit for tat over human rights sanctions, but the tragedy in boston has presented a new test for old foes. in a press conference last week, president obama seemed optimistic. >> the russians have been very cooperative with us since the, since the boston bombing. obviously old habits die hard. there are still suspicions, sometimes between our intelligence and law enforcement agencies. that date back 10, 20, 30 years. back to the cold war. but they're continually improving. >> russian president, vladimir putin, also seemed eager. telling a russia call-in show, i'm simply appealing for this tragedy to bring us together in fighting common threats. and if we really unite, we won't allow these strikes to happen and suffer such losses. while diplom

president putin has taken a different point of view. but where there is a common interest is that it's in both of our interests that at the end of this, there's a stable, democratic syria and a stable neighborhood and we do not encourage the growth of violent extremism. i think the russian president, the americanlf can se the current trajectory of how things are going and it's not in anyone's interest. this major diplomatic area we are -- diplomatic effort we are trying to bring transition at the top so we can make the change that country needs. >> with respect to the relationship between the uk and european union, we have a special relationship with the united kingdom. we believe our capacity to partner with a united kingdom that is act of, robust, outward looking -- that is active, robust, outward looking, and engage in the world is in our own interests as well as the world. participation's in the eu is an expression of its interest and its role in the world as well as a very important economic partnership. ultimately, the people of t

i've spoken to president putin several times on this topic. and our basic argument is that as a leader on the world stage, russia has an interest as well as an obligation to try to resolve this issue in a way that can lead to the kind of outcome that we'd all like to see over the long-term. and, look, i don't think it's any secret that there remains lingering suspicions between russia and other members of the g8 or the west. it's been several decades now since russia transformed itself and the eastern block transformed itself. but, you know, some of those suspicions still exist. and part of what my goal has been, john kerry's goal has been, and i know david's goal has been break down some of those suspicions and look objectively at the situation. if, in fact, we can broker a peaceful political transition that leads to assad's departure but a state in syria that is still intact that accommodates the interests of all the ethnic groups, all the religious groups inside syria and ends the bloodshed, stabilizes the situation, that's not just going t

it was announced today that vladimir putin found a new way to commute to work. he will go by helicopter. according to the moscow times, workers have completed the construction of a new helipad at the kremlin so putin can start using a helicopter to go from his home to work every day. a lot of critics have complained this is excessive and it's crazy and you're an egotistical jerk but we think putin got it right. every day as putin travels to work by car police feel the need to empty the streets so his 12 car motorcade can pass through more quickly. it adds about an hour to the commutes of other russians. this is a man facing some popular let's just call it dissent. that's made it worse. look, i don't believe for a second his decision to take to the skies was just to help alleviate congestion but it could have been to have people like him more. he loves his toys, probably wants to ride in a helicopter every day. but this time, it looks like his propensity for big splashes is actually helping his people. >>> still to come, you might be sitting on a gold mine and no

and president putin has taken a different point of view. but where there's a common interest is that it is in both our interests that at the end of this there is a stable democratic syria, that there is a stable neighborhood, and that we don't encourage the growth of violent extremism. and i think both the russian president, the american president, myself, i think we can all see that the current trajectory of how things are going is not actually in anybody's interests. so it is worth this major diplomatic effort, which we are all together leading. this major diplomatic effort to bring parties to the table to achieve transition at the top in syria so we can make the change that country needs. >> with respect to the relationship between the uk and the eu, we have a special relationship with the united kingdom. and we believe that our capacity to partner with a united kingdom that is active, robust, outward looking and engagedith the world is hugely important to our own interests as well as the world. and i think the uk's participation in the

fractious meeting between president vladimir putin and the cabinet yesterday where president putin suggested that the work of the cabinet was a ticking boxes because he felt that the work of the cabinet was somewhat superficial seem to disagree with that and far as we know the resignation was accepted after the meeting yesterday he's called the great cardinal why is that. an extraordinary figure in modern russian political history i think everybody would agree he's known as the great cardinal the eminence griese the the kremlin p.r. kingpin string porter he had a career in p.r. before coming into the kremlin administration in one thousand nine hundred nine he worked with banks and television then he came into the chief of staff. it was one of the conceptual architect behind the policy old democracy which was the political ideological platform if you will upon which built his early considerations. because he stressed values of pride in the russian identity and and political stability in particular however he was his p.r. background. contributed strongly to his reputation as the great cardinal
