Watch BBC's Steve Rosenberg challenge Putin on his 25 years in power in Russia

The BBC's Russia Editor, Steve Rosenberg, has challenged Vladimir Putin on whether he has "taken care" of Russia during his 25-year rule.

At the president's annual end-of-year press conference, Rosenberg reminded Putin about how his predecessor, Boris Yeltsin, told him to take care of the country when he handed over power.

In response, Putin said Russia had "regained its sovereignty".
