a long walk to putin's inauguration broadcast live and step by step on russian state t.v. through endless kremlin corridors he's walked for eighteen years admiring the pictures along the way downstairs across hallways finally him to the brights moscow may sunshine and a drive in a brand new russian made limousine. at last he entered the kremlin's ornate alexander roski hall where dignitaries were waiting but still the marathon wasn't over finally on to the podium to deliver the type of oratory the presidents the world over to live or on inauguration day wait a minute or taking office as president of russia i'm acutely aware of my colossal responsibility to each and every one of us a multinational population most sponsibility to russia a country of great victories and achievements to fauzia history of the russian state and our ancestors humility and the thanks expressed so then

a pledge to all russians. as head of state i will do everything to increase the strength prosperity and glory of russia in order to meet society's demands and justify the hopes of my country's people following the biggest election win of his career but he may have putin is perhaps as secure in office as he's ever been he has no meaningful political opposition despite the arrest of thousands of anti-government protesters and his critics he's cultivated a father of the nation type persona but though the sun shines cloud still gather on the horizon the once the carefully choreographed the at tricks of a glorious inauguration ceremony have faded from memory writing a person will have to address to the questions one is what happens next at the end of this six year term when constitutionally he has to step aside from the presidency and also can he continue to use an assertive foreign policy to distract

us from russia's persistence. an economic problems political analyst dmitri already has his doubts. but he's cognitive dissonance we've been raised from our knees therefore we should live better but instead we live worse that means putin will have to restore the economy but the economy has its own restrictions russia has lost its status as a reliable borrower investment is slowing and hampered by sanctions domestic business prefers to flee and asked for what happens in six years time no one yet knows in two thousand and eight putin temporarily swapped jobs with prime minister dmitri medvedev to sidestep the constitutional limits theoretically he could repeat the trick in twenty twenty four he's just announced manipulative is staying on as prime minister whether putin does or doesn't if you believe putinism lens when his presidential term finishes chalons al-jazeera moscow britain's foreign secretary

has appealed to the u.s. president not to pull out the iran nuclear deal boris johnson is in washington d.c. for two days of talks as the deadline to extend the landmark twenty fifteen agreement approaches this week speed speaking to us media jumps and that's the deal had its weaknesses but said it could be improved over time. where the president set the world a legitimate challenge in january which was to try to address all of the bad stuff that iran is is doing in the region to try to stop iran getting missiles into continental ballistic missiles stop them interfering in neighboring countries and also to fix the core problem of the deal which is that it expires in twenty twenty five and then there's no way of of stopping the rain's going very rapidly to get a nuclear weapon well we think we can fix all that working with our european friends we would be tougher on iran but not throw away that the the heart of the deal which is all about stopping them getting

a nuclear weapon. we can have good joins us live from the white house hi there kimberly so he's all due to me shrum how likely then is that he'll be able to get this message across also for the signs are promising the president has been tweeting this morning and has been again calling this in his words a mass of a deal that was in all caps certainly there's no surprise here that the president does not like the twenty five fifteen agreement that was negotiated by the obama administration he said this on the campaign trail he's been saying it since he became president that he feels there are many issues within it that are problematic namely the sunset clause the the sort of the concern about ongoing ballistic missile testing even the iran's influence in the region so there are many people working to try and convince donald trump on the heels of the french president coming to washington the german chancellor coming to washington look stay in the

supreme and will address those concerns in perhaps a supplemental agreement so that's the message that certainly is being carried by european leaders including the foreign secretary he's meeting not with donald trump as you point out but he is meeting with the vice president mike pence he's meeting with mike pompei of the new secretary of state even the national security advisor john bolton the problem is that two of those people particularly have also been very critical of the iran deal so certainly there is no question that the work for the the for. the u.k. foreign secretary is certainly going to be tough we have very few days left for donald trump to make his decision it's may twelfth and certainly the indications are that he is not particularly open to remaining in this agreement having said that boris johnson is making this push not just with the administration but also in the media here in the united states the op ed in the new york times as well as
