many things going on here boris nemtsov one of the leaders of the russian opposition and now. we're going to try and understand why my fellow russians behave and think the way to do. perhaps simply by listening or can see through the wall of mutual suspicion between russia and the outside world. in moscow a show of strength in support of the separatists fighting in the donbass region of eastern ukraine. today's message to the pro western ukrainian government the western leaders and the liberal opposition there will be no my don on the streets of our capital. is. no my john in russia. my don is the name of the main square in kiev it kristen wiig revolution which toppled good crane's pro russian president after months of protests.

russian. again that portrays the mind and revolution as a far right fascist. the blame for resulting bloodshed in the eastern ukraine is put squarely on the pro-west and kiev government. would soon see shows that it is not the right you will pick up your tragedy got a muslim i love you don't love. going to. our club members going to see a sing out enough not to meet a nigerian. who goes come up behind. the. lines you. might.

pretext of spreading democratic values. to try and better understand it and time i done phenomenon i have visited. in some ways she's a typical pensioner but this eighty eight year old is also a respected marxist historian. like many of russia's intelligence that she's also a supporter of putin. the same can be said of her son who's also paying a visit. or transmitted to believe. i'm going to we're going to miami absolute the videos of students at the new motion union's cusick new miscue. sending me as though it was cock the waters region. what. would your theory i would easily be as would

suit you my own words in the words in the. machine. so you see here roads in the cities in those days what missions just of us proceed at once i don't think it's not quite the steep in your country for i see that but i'm most of their money. and i know that it would cut bomb tippit with the kids without the protective minute of course would be. i've been in ukraine's of bruschi me doctor i need a sister that when you please you. know that name when you pull your head journal. but the most that. would be of value to real as a show is that your to those of us who stay that fascism i got as the world is starting their you leave us you who are in the hope you give yet the. only thing that is in your in your that year that you wish. to raise him right away now and

then us was never needed for she's there whom it will you still cry and say. oh it's an oyster for you and that's and i need. a new door down. in the. clinic you're working with we don't need it you know here you are so many reasons but yeah your experiment in your mother might end that saying it now does not put it into the preaching and that's sad only. in syria so you can let me just. sing and minute that i have seen you me and you don't you see me. get british getting out of that business a lot of. your past. you have them you google. my. friend what are you going to do with it you know.

you. if you are a pretty good. pretty girl of course mystic river of truth to. put in as well as truth. then he was put here to put. another to me just you group is. if you look at the people to be a woman you know you repeat the process but what you. refuse. if you immediately get like we put in between you personally. career. you wouldn't believe it you do believe in you. imperial. creature i realized that when we do that. it's got to be that i see you but our level are just really and that has been any shots they were able of

a man that you can pass in keeper solution as do instead i still have several relation that i imagine that the guy had should it's nightly brain scans i was voyaging the street just like see very often a little you get a shove up shearing it you or your brain are nice salmon with. your share purse there has equal daiichi in you doing is night in the way you do weights your pursuits and i know it's. so great to play with it's really hilarious that it's a baronet's and it's not that sad night in the median strip purchased oil series and so you open the chick with the sabbath of allah. but you know. in them in the future. it's. many russians view putin as somebody with a difficult job to do rather than an authoritarian leader with imperial ambitions.

and many critics of putting equally critical of the west europe i've been a carryover is a close friend of mine and a respected journalist she can be very outspoken so that even i am taken aback sometimes because of your ip. number who is glad. the process of good work so the fascism verse where you have gone. under the salute there was that of a look at the bottom this year you were busy so that the bottom line could not bring you. home i would be must not. so it is. the truth i thought of my vows with. regard to who do you want to be it's nice to pick up one thing on the floor somewhere you records for those private. because the cleverest at the. notion

we're going to show up with you just say you're. doing it. or see us towards what. is popularity is often attributed to propaganda television in particular watching any of the five main t.v. channels broadcasting across russia's eleven times and you clearly need to cram. them. this group with us is the brains to the needs of some of the signals in the world so great it's just a complete as it was of just really you should you go to the government's national that you really do not see what that did in a let's approach first when you. look to just to be almost because this national

news just finished a good pair of beer on can i mean nobody had have thought of it the problem there. but of the boston you got other than you moved her accent that a strong good morning evil with some astonishment brust on your ass cause i would do woof thought a little still use the new route practitioner knowing if he's abusing me for my blue at the moment i don't honestly roper you could use the green used to pull them in your thumb me to confiscate or give them a day. then you come on go behavior with and you are the most to do you move the big boy he made the joke of the report. i've been there works adores probably the best known independent t.v. channel in russia it's accessible by subscription and it's commercially viable which means that its force is hard to sell. but the kremlin has many weapons and

it's costing. the t.v. news room has just moved after previous landlord threw it out of its location in central moscow. reporting on the ukraine is clearly much more balanced than that of a large state chance for some balanced means unpatriotic and. taliesyn deal with the channel's founder and managing director has often to operate between two fires pushing his control culture and the channels independence trademark this illustration just the. talents won't solve the near term but over the near this year it's an order of his does that mean that over there is the need the most of what i see some of the small leave. as the course to listen to chile's cabinet city. e-bay others to the city. so i mean it is that i've been standing with us that i see that issue on the

appropriate use of this in the shit that the put that all the bill through with head out of all these people be sure to do with. as. you know fish from tuna. but nothing but out that you take that you get a place to fish that does the motion but they don't want them and lucky if the. credit even for the most. boys at the gate usually in the play at the moment but then. so kind of capitulate to some of the gladness i'm diligent and i have a bit of the most prepared for the chimp i did now. i can only meet and that is the kind of nasheed enough to. catch up with part of the best known of coast anchors between his primetime appearances. would you say you are in no position.

i think we live in the kind of shift it's rare that if the government told media pro-government which can be owned by a private investors but you know they're controlled every voice which wishes a little bit different from this regard that there's a position so we can. substitute real political opposition to channel could the cheerleaders and channel canada be in a position i don't forms for road show to a place of such a position as as sparkled for revolution for something like that what how that insead that the newspapers do it's call the organizer we don't want to advise it is are you more critical than no one would depend. and the press. is about to go on air and is going through his spring routine.

was it was just one pile of. political opposition does exist in russia just tolerated in the form of small parties with bleak electoral chants. put in is not afraid of them but just in case he prefers to keep their street events to isolated areas with few choice mentors. i am attending a meeting of the socialist democratic yabloko once a significant political force it is planning a rally challenge the pro putin and time i done movement. come on the. new forum on the produce. of the. which.

is due for the. small. when you really do know that when you might store. it is a. view image. there is never showed that one. could because you. remove the middle third of what should we go through any of the work with the muscle which is the muscle the who is the will of the. most was it would be my money and this is the one i mean all of that. said there really is that a little bit of one. at the most serious mamma so we are.

you know the first is the break you very. much of a kid in the mud. yep starring you pressies be sued. if you please the new craze. up ship procurement or not that if you were young. and you were you i'm. the one that's not going to see and yeah. read it the more you're glad not to not get it when you want to see it well with your words but there are. conditions that when you lose not. simply she. can know the book. for going to which. you might get your disability and you just burst in the game says the citigroup's gets me through the night with this pretty thing for me to the. next door

is another opposition party the liberal party nuts that is even more divided over the ukraine issue. everyone here is against putin but some i'm not against what he's done in the ukraine. do you feel that what he would do with. that summit is good to see you don't know if you put out the you know here with anybody you know just about see this not you but it was the jane the brewer to do things like that that is when you think that it won't be anybody and they aren't they aren't you this is there you are you and you know you're now you need not even use the other day do you think you might just go. along with that one of the nobody quite knew what you are going to tell you how do you view. the opposition's conundrum is that its most charismatic leader he's also it's most defiance of figure. like say now by me and then to. corruption blog with over

a million followers supported russia's annexation of crimea and is considered a nationalist. that's lost some opposition support protests and indeed him to put in. a string of court cases clipped the wings of nobody's presidential ambitions. but only has recently been indicted for fraud together with his brother holding. was jailed and he's attending a new hearing by video link. got three years suspended sentence. prosecution has appealed demanding the brothers be locked up for ten years. of their real purpose to. be able to still do just being crazy yeah yeah. yeah i mean if you go this isn't. this it's nice to. hear you those of us.

say. well it's very. good the. world ok got away i was sure it was. shot and you see a picture live or some jim acosta. superfoods just blew open was just one you. know a story of our story in these last hour no doubt that your. coverage of this program some of the articles that. will. last a little bit if you please just if you will not. let this thing and i know what exact number i know what i mean. yes i think this shall be as the. but you.

know. what as i'm going to see this balloon deal source the wish to write it. that way to them is a pretty serious the prosecution's draconian ten years appeal is squashed both brothers sentences are upheld. oleic stays in jail. aleksei is free to leave or. he waits no time according put his government a regime of feeds right here in the court building in front of the police it was too out of god it also used in the company let's put it this year. it was. mostly. sure that there was the bottle to sit in.

but it had a vis because your question you do source in the new normal now bally's claim that his conviction is politically motivated sounds plausible that that was not the. point you view. but have questions about the details of this fraud case as well as about his nationalistic stance. but aleksei has declined to answer this question. water an essential resource for all humankind across europe pressure to recognize water as a human right and put its management back into public hands is increasing i think that the european commission would be very very. water privatization on anybody is the only kids. people who see everything as something to invest the profit of the

one dollar. to the last drop on al-jazeera headlines warn the streets of melbourne australia are by. its citizens under threat but not for a good game. but how real the clean. one east investigators are now this is. an element of a problem and with the headlines on al-jazeera u.s. president donald trump has put his case for a border war with mexico directly to the american people and a televised address he said it was necessary because of what he called a humanitarian crisis the funding standoff over the war has shut down parts of the government for almost three weeks. the only solution is for democrats to pass a spending bill that defends our borders and reopens the government this situation

could be solved in a forty five minute meeting i have invited congressional leadership to the white house tomorrow to get this done while the democrats responded by repeating their them on that trumped reopen the government without funding for the wall. the fact is the women and children at the border are not a security threat they are humanitarian challenge a challenge the president comes on core and counterproductive policies have only deepened and the fact is president trump must stop holding the american people hostage but stop manufacturing a crisis and must reopen the government turkish president of the one says the u.s. demand for protection of its kurdish allies in syria is a grave mistake u.s. national security advisor john bolton as an uncle holding talks about the withdrawal of american troops from syria. the north korean leader kim jong un is on

the second day of a visit to china which could lay the groundwork for another meeting with the u.s. president donald trump this is kim's fourth trip to china in the past year was invited by chinese president xi jinping the largest opposition party in the democratic republic of congo has declared its leader the presumed winner of last month's presidential election the union for democracy and social progress as its candidate felix cheshire kerry won the voters the country's electoral commission is yet to release the results egypt says it will be ready to hold africa's biggest football tournament in just over five months that's officials have been celebrating in seven dollars capital after it was awarded hosting rights for the africa cup of nations cameroon was stripped of the competition two months ago because of infrastructure delays and security concerns. those are the headlines on al-jazeera and search of putin's russia continues next thank you very much for watching.

am am i . at best patriotism helps keep russia together. i tried nothing wrong with that if only i fail to see hope easily patriotism turns into self destructive nationalism.

i understand how desperate we russians are to feel good about our country. my own teenage son is a patriot. on father then defenders day when russia celebrates her armed forces my son of on his own state with a link a school choir. was. i thought. when i was given say i together with my friends started to rebel against both or a tear in comes. the young today seem to be very patriotic even conservative.

here. regards i'm trying to understand that phenomena talking to yvonne as i think his rather representative of his generation. e.d.'s just before she arrived from borders in the world if our going to go up shittiest for example going to filibuster for yet and as many as you please please come over to me it doesn't pass muster that. so you can no greens love the new super national did not want the dances in the super bowl with the sun with us muslims and that's what i'm going to be on though with that then was russia is just not the absolute still with the first thought that it would that i do in fact more of the that is if in the minds of most some today yes that is nationalist and that's what i'm used to for. a paltry you know as we've done just a million that he has to say but i thought they were through the. time i think you

can see that i'd like to put that or didn't understand this medieval process matters but there's somebody school. and there would be the most amount of coverage . but. putting such a goodish coalition but sympathy toward the rules to fit what i want to listen to convey gratis to the better that that when you build trust with the change. not just a fair amount of the proverbial wishing to keep good with your body patient and you will or should probably should just do should clear if you just would. eventually just post it but usually option c. is a strong time jew it's a story of the truth and it is it is and you just a couple of news must resist you get comfy and not had to witness something if it was just a couple of seasons it's just a quick question you know what up is appropriate with your post used up as you can see with the border there's a lot. of books requiring rigourous with

a subsidy from a strange you which should happen yes because the product should be there when it comes to the community shouldn't the professionals are more evenly over a mom who's about to be cooked food for school that are but that would. be a pretty pathetic ability to do crucial state police to come from just that. you are. here. today both emotionally and i certainly wasn't so. it who i am with you going out of you don't point to me is that full of shit woods that's just business and. it's all fine and don't listen i simple jed's if it were the first to call this was a good sleazy down there and. yet each to each told us the legitimacy is. due to steer clear of a system that award in the most felt church needs the board you want to get chicken

little somewhere else and you might consider i think the only thing. i'm proud of my clever intelligent son but sometimes i have the feeling that he's trying to please me a liberal. some find it hard to know what he really thinks about russia and the direction it's taking. that which is off oath. she more than me. could through here we feel both of. what we. we figured clear work of the word cure to three. marsh's conditioning is clearly feature and usually of show that it assesses. the facilities and i mean you. could just attack if you hear anybody

plenty of. their left wing legacy is deeply rooted in russia. even people who seem to have benefited from the new russian capitalism are affected by socialist ideals. bloody mary gifted is a farmer based in central russia. he considers himself at bridge in every respect including the size of his farm his income and his worldview. yet an educated linguist who decided to leave city life for hard work on the field is not that every. so on. the edge where your limited scope was here we were still owed so broke that the principal subtrees the government missed in clinical melendez we got that look at them when you stimulus money which so.

simply one has to really work from to get us just the mio who is the problem you will know what to do with. there's nothing like being shoes most back when the perjured your trick is no from me. and you know what is amusing when you know what examples are when you're serious q what do you mean it use the look lured to see you it's true because poor. right but it was more special than we had this week just so. we let the model of the bible yes clayson. it was some i think your field of vision that nobody else would need to know the last piece of the piece of world for the world out there who it was love at first did the no not the one i that what.

what what are they going to be going to. see a movie or a bottle of that's what they want to put out but i don't know if there were one but . we had it sad that i was actually going to be able to get a good job would be a little bit of an equal but. good looking good. there lections doesn't you know. doesn't play much room. in our life. i i mean don't stand in the polls. as i forgot to go on the existence and actions of anything like this nothing will change you know nothing to change and i don't want to know who's he's tenneco of all of this was awful that

mine won't. fall for. that what i want to think of people like now finally he didn't steal enough i suppose that's what he's going to do then thence to my mouth that's the problem we've got the will suggest mistakes you know yeah. if it disappears in one moment. nothing will change one portion is enough one porton and commonsense that's it. so does russia need democracy. many russians clearly don't. the nation is still profoundly attached to its authoritarian tradition. and perhaps the movement towards a western style democracy has gone into reverse today. but there are exceptions gallina sure she is one of only two mayors in the whole of the country got elected

on an opposition ticket. she runs the city of petra's over the capital of the republic of korea which borders finland. was a popular man but then the pressure of a nation not entirely clear to us started to grow. i think that. the. media. minister said and surely it would have so you wouldn't know because else do we need. one of the skull me a good book the condolence liat there's the produce of the stache me with the reason it is the only choice exists the amount a year. the then surely must lessen what meat is but on the good more that this doesn't only mean i'll be doing the daily. maybe even their own path yet each will

exists the image of them smoothly it is the gaining the door what new do my ear. bring you much thought that kirk eastman wouldn't need to create store was built in or go mad but machinima it was a mistake to let your thing is no china bespoke when i thought you might but you want i want to be quality just great but i wish the national good and that even i had that sam. ned that does mr glover good or yes this is a stimulant. at the new minute in the pits idiom is clear the she will begin at the goal map ask mr. even the beers a model goes on why he does a person astonished but i wish them knew what it is he did to me that most. people are great store with a to go on a deal if you have not stood it. cook the british to material and use local my chief among the people i've got from the line you know as a can keep that is to think of good idea as

a line yeah. that's the bushnell somewhat because i was that i would. love with one of the ears because i lived through it spent it mean i mean yeah i'm there you wish law. because that's what you've last eat because that should slay me a star next to nothing that young is neither my team of water but i will never preached to. quit beating yeah i do as much of that with the. boot licker what about the war when you take that back. but you. don't use mine. but i'm not it is difficult for me to gauge how serious the threat. is. on the sunny day on the banks of the beautiful frozen northern lake i could not imagine anything bad happening to someone simply speaking family that it could. be from which not. if

a ticking time bomb that blew up all over there from that day but the kids while. i was a go with me a. lot. of it was right here. and.

if you could. hear her up to. more us and them soften a leading figure in russia's opposition movement hasn't been murdered in the central moscow reports suggest he was shot four times by an unknown gunman

a one man who fired from inside a condo and self-serving boss nelson's government as the prime minister and the one nine hundred ninety s. but later became an outspoken critic of. this crane said winter morning i came to my friend place the plan is to go together to the protest rally in memory. of beano shares a flat with murray about one of their two young sons. marty is an opposition activist and the coordinator of open russia the foundation of ex prisoner take heart of course. the fund provides help to political prisoners and those in legal dispute with the state. that built the boss low pressure storm. damage in fact that's just coming to. do you. wish your son would go that you. don't just run

a business. don't you forget he's also. you're using. he. got over his head. that was she just for you which. you don't think. you. love you sully the press do you think you will be alone the price. of a certain something on. your first. rush this summer well it was you.

were wrong. about. me about saying you. have no idea what we're all shocked outraged. when you and feel he would have wanted us to see him off as a joke rather than a song for face or sign. up with the middle guess what. this want to do with. not one of the prostitutes. we're going up i'm. sure she's used to any. group whose lives were around you but you really think you know what we've.

done is the poster. boy of the crime scene based on his. company. know we should develop some i can not spend. a whole opel positive decision on you a bill of money there is not because i know that if you follow your budget and your head is a shotgun because of that it's got the whole story of a signal that it's going to lose the decision cording yes no i won i won i'm looking at those of you who. don't think that. the bunch of losers i say consider. the color although he's not my vagina but i visit my kitchen to look at. the station and give them to the people yes you can. reply to all who lets you do all those in the only two goals that you mention must do this now when you look at

people do but if you did it would be because it's the first one you pick up if you don't complain to putz about slate. i find myself next to me kyle cuss you on a former prime minister of russia and a mutual friend of boris nemtsov. me how you found tough but fair words for what has happened to us. when you're stuck with another what the us was the most of us leave you going to blast fuck you just give partiality over the fourth of you going to being you which is slow but you will just refuse to go but if you go near these regard you can speak if we see even the civilized display can produce complex first boy a short video sure the life force doesn't start to be specific you must be able. to sort through you're going to feel i'm going will probably knows that i'm over him or there's the bomb or ship there was simply to meet up with your visitor when you

would see. that guy. wouldn't it be. it's not. efficient partly because the. police are still putting everybody in your skull assure. them so much that i tell you you wish i knew which looks what this new user of the view to some of them stood up for some people think. is a description of this the polluters of the money she could just buy just lose the system but those who lose coverage because this time you can on the you mentioned to do with this way go always. taught. them. how.

to do it to you the truth if you stick i guess you still yourself well since the fall of simply. that the frighten them but those. post-operative chuckle couldn't notice the degree of complexity because one year on and seven after that's if you put the big star snaps i don't know just been sitting there cooking the books finally taking care of yourself if you've actually done it i was right there and out there you go through this to the next as you can that was life. changing stressful. you and your supporters perhaps just how do you put in you what's joints of a spherical problem with the thought of birth but still in the me a lot of them were divided see who's the first.

to. use.
