to share them and help russia in their process here to try and help skolkovo get off the ground when the governor first arrived in russia the first thing he did was he sent a twitter to the president and it basically said i've landed in russia i can't wait to see the russian president dmitri medvedev to which i'm a bit of replied back in typical blogging blogging it techno fashion sending a tweet of his own saying welcome to russia can't wait to see you at skolkovo after that arnold schwarzenegger sent pictures on posted them on twitter as well of him arriving of him smoking a cigar driving from the airport as well as some that have become very well known here in russia and have gotten a lot of response of arnold schwarzenegger on the metro system now the people of russia have really come to adopt an old shorts nager as one of their own and they've grown to love him through his movies like terminator and also one based here in russia called red heat where a little bit of trivia for you it was not allowed for them to film on red square so

the crew had to sneak their shots and actually do it illegally also if you know that he is he himself is a power lifter and his inspiration is a russian himself and it was a kid that was fifteen years old i was in vienna. in sixty one watching the world we believed in champion. ships and the russians just destroyed everybody. i mean they just had the most extraordinary lived in there was a guy by the name of your roof last off he was he looked like an intellectual so you had glasses on and found out that he was an engineer and he was a very well educated man but the tremendous strength and determination in insurance and he was this monster guy and this is the most of that's what i want to do when they grow up he has also established a good strong relationship with president dmitri medvedev and in that he promised

went there over eight hundred international observers in kyrgyzstan at the moon moments monitoring their elections and they believe that elections were valid despite minor violations that have taken place what made washing observers concerned with this election was then usual splash of activity among voters that took place during the past hour all for the elections that still for almost all of the votes have been counted and indeed five political parties have were cleared the necessary five percent variance to get seats in the parliament and those seats will be distributed between them proportionally among those sparks is first of all is the party that has an officially associated here with former president but he also the party of social democrats and party of one of the opposition leaders and. their own natural leaders in this vote because most of this those parties have very

similar political agendas they have every see very similar percentages all of the vote so we might still see a parliamentary stalemate in the country like the one we saw in ukraine when the country's parliament simply couldn't form a government's coalition well the security is situation was rather conjuring the elections and after the elections we have seen security tightened throughout the county police has been patrolling the streets for the past few days some experienced still believe that riots may take place later after it leaves elections and some experts have been saying that there lections were rather sounds in the southern regions. the county where they have seen people being drug from one polling station to another in forced to vote several times sound we're saying people who are actually bride to be for specific political parties our film crew in their southern city of course has spoken to some of the ethnic uzbeks living there who have said that they were simply deprived of their right to vote but they
