of sarah harman welcome to the show it's great to have you with this. russian opposition leader alexina vuln they may have reached the end of the wind in his bid to enter next year's presidential race the country's election commission has rejected his candidacy citing a past conviction of olney a kremlin critic says the move is only meant to stifle opposition to president vladimir putin. the election commission's vote was a setback for no vaal me twelve of the thirteen members supported the motion to bar him from running in next year's election with one member abstaining earlier the commission argued the opposition leader was in eligible due to a past conviction for embezzlement. the crime which alexy until you gave each was charged with is a serious one which deprives a person who committed that crime of the right to run for the post of russian federation president. or the us.

no following concerns the charge was trumped up to thwart his political ambitions speaking before the vote the kremlin critic said a candidate was needed to confront the country's problems. it's not about an avanti but a candidate is needed who will finally speak openly about everything taking place in our country now. one who will describe our reality honestly the lack of any future prospects and the poverty i did that and that's why you want to allow me to take part in the election. that me and i will but it just moments after the commission's decision to reject his bid no volunteer released a prerecorded message calling on supporters to boycott next year's vote when we announce a boycott of the election and. the way they want to carry out the vote is not a real election it will feature only putin and the candidates he has personally

selected the ones who don't pose any threat to him they haven't campaigned and they will not campaign is better to look up on your. president vladimir putin is campaigning as an independent polls show him on course to win a fourth term. allowing him to stay in office another six years. well it's taken out of moscow and sure when he has been following the story for us emily quite a setback here form of all me he's calling for this election to be boycotted now but what is he really going to do well he's going to appeal the decision as you said sara and he also has said in that video that you just showed excerpts from that he wanted to turn his campaign headquarters all over the country into so-called boycott centers he says he wants to campaign

against the elections so we don't know whether that means perhaps protests as well we'll have to wait and see and he also called on his supporters not only to boycott but also to monitor turned out during the elections and that's interesting because there were media reports yesterday that the kremlin is hoping to achieve seventy percent turnout and that seventy that they hope that seventy percent of people will vote for putin that's their goal so obviously if if now finally it can undermine whatever numbers they provide for turnout or even undermine that turnout by boycotting the election and by calling his supporters to boycott the election then i suppose he hopes that will undermine the legitimacy of the presidential elections as a whole all right of all men fall barred from running or there are any other opposition candidates. well there are even though putin is widely expected to win with

a huge my majority. and the has actually called on opposition candidates to pull out of the elections as well and one to mention here is the opposition candidate saying yes upchuck she's a former socialite and journalist and she has actually said that she would withdraw if viney divine is candidacy were not allowed which has now happened she is widely seen as a kremlin candidate a kremlin project one that the kremlin has put forward to make these elections seem legitimate by putting a real opposition candidate forward she's said things like that the crimean annexation was against international law which of course here is very controversial so that's one to watch so far her campaign hasn't said anything on social media about this newest news about nevada and that's analyst suring reporting for us in moscow thank you. well staying in moscow pleased four people have been killed and

more than a dozen others injured after a bus plowed into a busy pedestrian underpass moscow authorities have ruled out terrorism and have detained the driver of the bus for questioning. c.c.t.v. footage shows the bus leaving the side of a busy multi-lane highway and plunging into a pedestrian underpass near a metro station several victims were crushed beneath the wheels as the vehicle careered down the steps emergency services rushed to the seeing to recover the bus there's no evidence so far of any terrorist involvement. there probably technical and human factors of play the state of the road cannot have been a factor the road was clear. it's thought the bus driver may have lost control of the vehicle because of a problem with the handbrake police held him for questioning there was we rescued seven people four of whom unfortunately did not make it we managed to prevent the

bus catching fire the bus is now been towed out of the pedestrian underground passage we've finished our operation near. to where the and thirty would approve the. incident happened on one of moscow's busiest roads mondays an ordinary working day in russia where the orthodox christmas is celebrated on january the seventh. here's a look now at some of the other stories that are making news around the world at least six people have been killed a suicide bombing in the afghan capital kabul the blast occurred during the morning rush hour now an office belonging to the country's national security agency a so-called islamic state has claimed responsibility. berlin police say they believe a man who crashed his car into the headquarters of the social democratic party on christmas day was trying to commit suicide at fifty eight year old. hospitalized

the most sacred addresses in the catholic calendar if they put in these. dates for the week. some ten thousand catholics and to risk that outside st pete is to hear the pope's traditional blessing be at all be means to the city and the world and to put also how to will be matter on his mind in his address francis repeated coups for a solution to the only going conflict in the middle east which was recently stoked by u.s. president donald trump's recognition of jerusalem as israel's capital. on this festive day let us ask the lord for peace for jerusalem and for all the holy

land let us pray that the will to resume dialogue may prevail between the parties and that a negotiated solution can finally be reached one that would allow the peaceful coexistence of t. states with a mutually agreed and internationally recognized borders. the pope's christmas eve mass was no less political francis drew attention to the plight of refugees he told catholics to be welcoming towards people who have been driven from their homelands by conflict comparing marion josephs journey to bethlehem with the mass migration seen today the holy couple had arrived he said at a place where there was no room for them to stay. or. so many other footsteps are hidden in the steps of joseph and mary we see the tracks of entire families forced to set out in our own

day we see the tracks of millions who do not choose to go away but driven from their land leave behind their dear ones. like you. so nice. am the pope support for refugees has put him at odds with some politicians but already it's become a key feature of his tenure. in this minute. turning now to german soccer in the bundesliga is enjoying a well earned winter break at the one of the most compelling first halves of the season in years there were high profile sacking spectacular goals and of course the huge controversy over the new video weaponry system there is really hardly been a dull moment here's a look back at the season so far. the comeback of the year so your pint gets
