The Russian President Vladimir Putin has proposed welfare incentives to boost the birthrate, with forecasts predicting a rapid decline in the population. He said the state had to help young people who dreamed of starting a family. Mr. Putin also proposed changing the Constitution as Sarah Rainsford report from Moscow.
俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔•普京提出了福利激励措施以提高出生率，因为有预测称俄罗斯人口将迅速下降。他表示，国家必须帮助那些梦想组建家庭的年轻人。普京还提议修改宪法。请听萨拉•雷恩斯福德在莫斯科的报道。

There were hints in their speech about Vladimir Putin's future. First and foremost, he's clearly ruled out running for another term as president by calling for a ban on more than two consecutive terms in the Kremlin. But he wants other constitutional changes too. Whilst he says Russia must remain a presidential republic for security reasons, he argued that the parliament needs more power too, including of appointing the prime minister and cabinet. He's also strengthening a body called the State Council, which some here suggest he could head up himself in the future, and so retain power in another guise.
他们的讲话中暗示了弗拉基米尔•普京的未来。首先也是最重要的是，他呼吁禁止在克林姆林宫连任两届以上，从而明确排除了连任总统的可能性。他也希望进行其他的宪法改革。虽然他表示出于安全原因，俄罗斯必须保持总统共和制，但他认为，议会也需要更多的权力，包括任命总理和内阁的权力。他还巩固了一个叫做国务院的机构，有人认为他将来会自己领导，从而以另一种形式保留权力。
