Putin: Trump opponents harm US with 'invented' Russia scandal Russia's president has accused opponents of his US counterpart Donald Trump of harming the US by "inventing stories" about contacts with Russia. At his annual news conference, Vladimir Putin said contacts between the Trump team and Russian officials before last year's election were normal. He said the US opposition was not treating those who elected Mr Trump with respect. The Trump campaign is being investigated for collusion with Russia. US intelligence agencies have concluded that Moscow tried to sway the presidential election in favour of Mr Trump, but Mr Putin denies the allegations. "It's all invented by those in opposition to Trump to make his work seem illegitimate," Mr Putin said, when asked about the investigation. - Russia's action man president - Reality Check: Who's buying the Putin calendar? - Happy bot-day, Mr President He added that Mr Trump was responsible for some "quite serious achievements" but had not been in a position to improve relations with Russia. He expressed hope that this would happen, adding that globally "there are many things we can do more effectively". Also mentioned by Mr Putin: - North Korea was cited as one possible area of co-operation with the US, but he said some past actions by Washington had provoked North Korea into violating agreements, and all sides needed to calm down. North Korea's pursuit of nuclear weapons technology has led to heavy US-led sanctions against the regime - He warned that there was a risk of slaughter of pro-Russian separatists in war-torn eastern Ukraine by Ukrainian nationalists, but again denied there were any Russian troops in the region - He said that Russia and Syria could not alone cope with the refugee crisis resulting from Syria's civil war, but that it needed to be resolved What about the election? Earlier Mr Putin addressed the presidential elections, due to be held next year. He has already said he will stand for a fourth term, but announced that he would stand as an independent candidate rather than from the ruling United Russia party. What does he think about the opposition? Asked why he had not faced any effective opponent for the presidency, he said the opposition had to come up with specific proposals to improve people's lives and had so far not done so. "It's not up to me to nurture competitors," he said. I've been thinking that our political environment must be competitive just like the economic environment. "I hope this will happen, and the sooner the better." But he said if his opponents won in the presidential election next March, it would destabilise Russia. "Do you want attempted coups d'etat?" he asked, in response to a question about the opposition. Mr Putin did not mention opposition leader Alexei Navalny, who is banned from standing in the elections because of a criminal conviction. The Council of Europe has condemned the conviction as "arbitrary and unfair". In response to Mr Putin, Mr Navalny tweeted (in Russian) a link to his recently published election programme, with the words: "You're really trying very hard not to notice this." Election rival asks a question Another opposition presidential candidate was noticed by the president, however. Kseniya Sobchak, a celebrity and political talk show host, has announced she will be running against Mr Putin as a "referendum on trust" so that people can vote against him. She came to the news conference as a journalist for the opposition Dozhd TV and asked Mr Putin about the repression of the opposition, including Mr Navalny, and whether the authorities were afraid of competitors. He responded by warning of rabble-rousing politicians destabilising the country, and he cited Ukraine as a country where instability was rife. "I'm sure that the overwhelming majority of Russians don't want this," he said, adding that he was not afraid of anyone. Mr Putin is known for his marathon performances at his news conferences, where he frequently uses hard-hitting, colourful language. The record for a Putin news conference was set in 2008, at four hours 40 minutes. This year's, which went on for nearly four hours, has also set a record, with 1,640 journalists said to be accredited for the event. Putin has removed all serious rivals Analysis: BBC's Steve Rosenberg, Moscow There was an element of farce to the president's end-of-year media extravaganza. Reporters shouted from their seats and waved signs to attract his attention and ask him a question. One man who asked Mr Putin about fish admitted half way through his question that he wasn't a reporter at all, but the head of a fish processing factory who had lied to get in. At one point, Mr Putin pointed to a sign he thought read Bye Bye Putin. Instead it read Grandfather Putin in the Tatar language. Russia isn't likely to be saying bye bye to its president any time soon. Mr Putin will run for re-election next March and is expected to win. The system of power he has built in Russia - often referred to as "managed democracy" - has managed to remove all serious rivals There will be other challengers, among them the liberal TV personality Kseniya Sobchak, who was at the conference. In the increasingly farcical world of Russian politics, Ms Sobchak is widely viewed as a spoiler candidate, hired by the Kremlin to boost the legitimacy of the election and to split the opposition vote. Vladimir Putin: From spy to president - Born 7 October 1952 in Leningrad (now St Petersburg) - Studies law and joins KGB after university - Serves as a spy in communist East Germany - some ex-KGB comrades later get top state posts in Putin era - 1990s - top aide to St Petersburg mayor Anatoly Sobchak, who had previously taught him law - Enters Boris Yeltsin's Kremlin in 1997, made chief of Federal Security Service (the FSB - main successor of the KGB), then prime minister - New Year's Eve, 1999 - Yeltsin quits and names him acting president - Easily wins presidential election in March 2000 - Wins a second term in 2004 - Is barred from running for a third successive term by the Russian constitution, but instead becomes prime minister - Wins a third presidential term in 2012 Putin still in fashion 15 years on

“ट्रम्पका विपक्षीद्वारा अमेरिकालाई हानि” रुसी राष्ट्रपति भ्लादिमिर पुटिनले उनका अमेरिकी समकक्षी डोनल्ड ट्रम्पका विरोधीहरुले रुससँगको साँठगाँठबारे बनावटी कुराहरु गरेर अमेरिकालाई हानी पुर्याएको आरोप लगाएका छन्। हरेक वर्षको अन्ततिर आयोजना गरिने पत्रकार सम्मेलन अन्तर्गत बिहीबार पुटिनले गत वर्ष भएको अमेरिकी राष्ट्रपतीय चुनावपूर्व ट्रम्पको चुनावी अभियान टोली र रुसी अधिकारीहरुबीचका सम्पर्कहरु सामान्य भएको टिप्पणी गरे। अमेरिकी आरोपबाट पुटिन अपमानित: ट्रम्प पुटिन र मबीच राम्रो छलफल भएको छः ट्रम्प व्यवहार ट्रम्पलाई राष्ट्रपतिमा चुनेकाहरुलाई अमेरिकी विपक्षीले सम्मानपूर्वक व्यवहार नगरेको रुसी राष्ट्रपति पुटिनले बताए। राष्ट्रपति ट्रम्पको चुनावी अभियान टोलीमाथि रुससँग साँठगाँठ गरेको भनिएको बारे अनुसन्धान भइरहेको छ। राष्ट्रपतीय चुनावी नतिजा ट्रम्पको पक्षमा पार्नका लागि मस्कोले प्रयासहरु गरेको निष्कर्ष अमेरिकी गुप्तचर निकायहरुले निकालेका छन्, तर रुसी राष्ट्रपतिले त्यस्ता आरोपहरुको अस्वीकार गर्दै आएका छन्। अनुसन्धानका बारे प्रश्न गरिंदा पुटिनले जवाफमा भने- यो सबै उनका कार्यहरुलाई अवैधानिक देखाउन ट्रम्पको विपक्षमा रहेकाहरुले बुनेका कुरा हुन्। केही गम्भीर उपलब्धिहरुका लागि ट्रम्प जिम्मेवार रहेको तर रुससँग सम्बन्ध सुधार्ने स्थितिमा ट्रम्प नरहेको उनले भने। सहकार्य सहकार्यका लागि उत्तर कोरिया एउटा सम्भावित क्षेत्र रहेको पुटिनले बताए। तर अमेरिकाका विगतका केही कार्यहरुले उत्तर कोरियालाई समझदारीको उल्लंघन गर्न उक्साएको र सबै पक्षहरु शान्त हुन आवश्यक रहेको उनले बताए। यसअघि पुटिनले आगामी वर्षको मार्चमा हुने रुसी राष्ट्रपतीय चुनावी सभाबारे बोल्दै उनी चौथौ कार्यकालका लागि लड्ने बताए। राष्ट्रपतीय चुनावका लागि बलियो प्रतिस्पर्धीको सामना उनले किन गर्नु नपरेको भन्ने प्रश्नमा पुटिनले जनताको जीवन सुधार्न विपक्षीहरु निश्चित प्रस्तावहरुका साथ आउन नसकेको बताए। सो क्रममा पुटिनले विपक्षी नेता एलेक्सी नाभाल्नीको नाम उल्लेख गरेनन्। फौजदारी अभियोगमा दोषी ठहर गरिएका कारण नाभाल्नीलाई आगामी वर्ष हुने राष्ट्रपतीय चुनावमा उम्मेद्वारी दिनबाट रोक लगाइएको छ। त्यसको जवाफमा नाभाल्नीले सामाजिक संजालको वेबसाईट ट्वीटरमा उनको हालै प्रकाशित चुनावी कार्यक्रमको एक लिङ्क राख्दै लेखेका थिए- "यसलाई आफ्नो ध्यानमा आउन नदिनका लागि धेरै कोशिश भइरहेको छ। पत्रकार सम्मेलनका क्रममा उनको धाराप्रवाह बोलीका लागि पुटिन चिनिन्छन्। कैयौँ घण्टासम्म चल्ने गरेका पुटिनका पत्रकार सम्मेलनमा यसपटक १६ सयभन्दा बढी पत्रकारहरु सहभागी भएका छन्।
