00:18Putin, who has ruled Russia for 18 years, has promised to improve living standards at
00:23home during his next Kremlin stint.
00:26But he has remained silent on the issue of his succession, despite this being an inevitable

01:01gotten away with a challenge on Samuel Umtiti.

01:10in the 1998 Black Buck poaching case will now be heard on July 17.
