three am in moscow i mad très are going to be with you here on r t nearly thirty people have been injured and scores detained in iran and moscow and st petersburg thousands gathered in the two cities to mark the death of a spartak moscow football fan was killed in a brawl on monday authorities say russian ultra nationalist groups hijacked the peaceful marches are his catarina as are about was in the city center when the violence broke out. anger mismanagement thousands of football fans took their aggression to streets of the russian capital with a smoke filled riot transforming quiet central moscow this flares in bottles flew overhead riot police detained instigators of the clashes at what started out as a peaceful commemoratives around. some people have reacted very boring wimpy to the death of the sport but i do believe that some of their dissatisfaction is understandable but it is unacceptable when we have aggression with for our characters to burst into flames. in ordinary people suffer take all the necessary

measures and you think like that happen again so that the authorities are not accused of and effectiveness in handling the killing of your grocery the good your police have already arrested those responsible for the queuing up and the rest others everyone is equal before the war. the firing question was shot dead last week during a mass brawl most of those gathered in a city's minute square simply wanted to pay their respects and demand a full investigation into the death of one of their own for take into account the fact that the suspect in this homicide is from the north caucasus and the story it's an ugly nationalist twist according to officials members of the country's various nationalist movements and not football fans instigated the violence by you but by the way it was we saw that radical protestors joins those spots like fans honoring the dead men and insides of mass protests and fighting thirteen people in their own hospital so the police must act tough but within the law and they did

everything they had to act in as the situation was reversed nicholas the clashes didn't stop with just the capital either petersburg rally memory of necessity that quickly turned into a fight between protesters and riot police with many injured and over fifty detained so is this nationalist violence for violence sake or is there a hidden agenda nationalist far right is working very hard to mobilize. in two different nationalist nazi groups doing a lot of propaganda with a lot of success this is whoever are not exactly blameless in selves just a few days ago spartak supporters disrupted their team's match in slovakia the referee was forced to call the match off and the way forgot management is already considering serious punishment for the team the next match askand help or the no.

audience in the future in the europa league and for me it's quiet quiet nor quite normal and of course the part that will be fine and on thursday i think next day after the match head coach of sport their carbon so that it's not accepted fans to behave like that sans claim they want justice for a friend who had been killed but violence is not the answer saturday's clash is proof that both the story and the aggression are not really about football to the instigators however it's all fair game tensions are on the rise you gotta see them even the little russian girl doing nothing to tempers these managed to restore order to the streets of the capital and see petersburg but many are still afraid this isn't the end of the file. catchers are about r t. u.s. considers promoting human rights worldwide a priority but some critics say america's own track record is far from blameless

this sunday kosovo is preparing to hold its first parliamentary election since it declared unilateral independence from serbia three years ago but reports the serbian minority is boycotting the elections claiming their own welcome and excluded from the region society. begun and her family live in a small serbian enclave in kosovo it's a fairly solid she existence here largely cut off from the way the albanian community and it's a change from the war in the one nine hundred ninety s. which divided their country and brutalized a generation before with pearl at the height of the cause of in war to protect the serbian community behind it from gunfire that would come from the right as it was the albanian populated area and they were maimed to day was followed by a mind of a continuing ethnic conflicts. national bed i remember the wall being

built after a neighbor was shot by us he worked on the land near the road we still live in fear here it's harder for the children living such a separate existence they begin to think that is just how things are the elections are the first polls since the breakaway province declared independence from serbia in february two thousand and eight belgrade has made it clear that although they won't penalize serbs for taking part they do not recognize those organizing the elections and a week turnout with significantly undermine the vote credibility. i'm not going to vote because for us now it's not the time for elections when we don't lead a normal life. begun as per the shows of the family's two cars one with cars of the number plates and one with serbian. driving on the rules with serbian number of

police here in course would be to do in truth. it was an accurate warning we visited drainers a town that's been at the heart of many cars of a albanian nationalist movement of filming was interrupted by the police they spotted our serbian fixes number plates we were detained and questioned before being tailed out of town by locals. also unhappy with our presence there the message was clear serbians and not welcome here it was also a stark insight into the divisions of power and fractured governance that remains in kosovo we don't have checks and balances between. political powers here we don't have just is functioning because its size they control just you know order for themselves to have free hands to do whatever they want the previous ruling coalition parties a tip to favorites to win power again despite controversies including accusations

of collaborating with organized crime groups one issue dominates the campaign the main the main point and the main goal is integration within european union it's a familiar catchphrase and wonder holds nace way with the opposition yeah i think that it's pure propaganda in their mouth you know atlantic integration the goal of the integration isn't likely to be realized until cost of a it's able to get its own house in order and address the very serious barriers which is still dividing its people sappho r.t. because of a marco gasso from the british serbian alliance for peace tells r.t. that kosovo serbs are struggling to survive and are nowhere near becoming a fully integrated part of society. cost of war. today stands as a state a full state based on ethnic cleansing and cemented by nato bombs the serbians who

remain live in fear of their lives they are lit they live in ghettos they're unable to get out and the only reason they still survive in kosovo and are not fed to the all good in trade is that the albanians have fed so many serbians too in the past is because nato likes to keep living serbs in kosovo as good publicity but they're there they are there just as a publicity to create the impression that cost of war is a multiethnic society isn't is a mono ethnic society which has destroyed the lives of hundreds of thousands of people and the leadership in kosovo consists of criminals who have moved into politicians as western intelligence agencies have said themselves so everyone knows what's going on in kosovo but the idea is to. lie about what's going on cause the war to a bigger world audience with the onset of winter is better called life is bleak for the homeless in the russian capital hundreds are expected to freeze to death as

temperatures plunge to minus thirty in the coming weeks but as r.t. as tom barton reports a group of dedicated volunteers is working hard to offer a helping hand to those in desperate need. that's not right the homeless gather there waiting for salvation but it comes in the form of a bus a bus run by the author talks church charity mercy. i want to wish good health to all crew of this mercy because they always take your. although if it is a hard to come by it's estimated there are around a hundred thousand homeless people in moscow this faithful and its crew travel around the main railway stations every night trying to help them stave off the worst of the winter's cold just because it's got a couple of them will i do this work because i can't help but do it i just can't live my life peacefully when someone else is freezing to death in the streets. when we reach one of moscow's biggest stations the team has to turn away many hopefuls

like you can with a he's only thirty two and he's not allowed to go on a bus but he's going around bugging us to decide to make way for those in the worst condition this man would never have reached the bus if they hadn't found this year is that among all the homeless people we come across we can only choose thirty or thirty five of the most needy ones at most and each time i'm afraid of making this choice each of these people has a tragic tale of how they ended up here for many though it's russia's bureaucracy has prevented them from working to get you to give i spent thirty years in many prisons i had no idea whatsoever and once on the streets state help is all too scant certainly but all that social services just don't have the budgets and so they only deal with muscovites our organization is public and lives off donations that's why we help everybody who needs us irrespective of their age gender faith nationality or citizenship as well as on the buses nearly full now the team will

let these people sleep a winter morning then give them a hot meal and a shower but then there's no other place for them except back on the streets night after night this bus and its crew provides a lifeline for the homeless people around the city's train stations but as the winter gets colder they're going to come to need it more and more tom watson r.t. moscow. turning now to some other stories making headlines across the globe two blasts in central stockholm have killed at least one person and injured another two a car exploded near a busy shopping street in the center of the swedish capital shortly afterwards a second explosion was heard on the same street and a man was found injured on the ground he was later pronounced dead it's still unclear what caused the blast. beilenson different parts of afghanistan has left more than a dozen dead in helmand province fifteen people in a truck died and many were injured when a roadside bomb went off in neighboring khandahar a car bomb blast near

prudent showed his range of talents also playing the piano although lighthearted it was for a very serious cause helping raise money for children suffering cancer among the celebrities taking power where hollywood actress sharon stone couple kurt russell and goldie hawn as well as monica bellucci advancing to sell and raising much needed money for a charity event seems to also help boost the prime minister's image. and it's amazing that he's actually singing in english because he isn't actually speak much english he famously spoke english for the. last year for an interview see them but you know when it comes to peace in english it's very rare we get to see him speak let alone saying it was for a charity event in st petersburg in the spectacular ice palace. and everyone there was from from hollywood sharon stone kevin costner. and it was basically for

a charity event for children with. cancer. and all of a sudden that my chromos was given to him is totally unplanned and he got up and sang blueberry hill putin famously said he doesn't love that he can't sing. but just like everybody else he loves doing it it was in tune and also he was he had gestures as well and i think anybody who can or can't saying you know to do it in a roomful of absolute you know famous people like that should be commendable and also it's great for his reputation we've got the story about the dog recently the puppy it's not the first time he sang either he sang last year he went to the ministry of defense school for girls and he sang this patriotic song with a lovely old russian go and the more he does things like this the more that you know people can connect. are seeking to sign an agreement that would protect the rights of russian children adopted by u.s.

families with recent cases of russian children neglected by american. people's minds are the russian president's children's rights.

thank you very much for being with us today. as promised to. protecting the rights of children and i believe this round of talks wrapped up in washington yesterday what's going on there. is the rights of. all. all. points different born in music room and. we hear the final comments now from the local. authorities. and after that we are rated to understand this agreement but i remember also your

promise to freeze did option for united states if the docket wasn't signed by to real have been lifted or is it still long no. actually we didn't do it we didn't do it we didn't freeze the process was in other states of america because this is a long judicial procedure but in fact in fact we preserved the number of. such cases in our courts first of all. and we are not ready to freeze the toll this process of the adoption process because it would have. to for. political and judicial brigade. but. if we cannot finds agreement. about the situation about overseas adoption we can freeze this process this agreement

this finally signed and finalized what would that mean for the dropped of russian children and those who are entrusted with their rights to protect their children first of all it's guaranteed is going to is going to use. very effective a legal instrument. to control this is the result of the children in the new family overseas in the united states of america when the adopted child comes to the united states of america and becomes a citizen of the united states of america this child is continuing to be a citizen of the russian federation until eighteen years old and we have a right to support his child like a citizen of the russian federation and we have. a right to sure all the situation with this adopted child. in the new family and the second thing is.

recognition of. the russian federation's court decisions is united states of america because during this new agreement it wouldn't be necessary to. have a decision in the united states of america court just enough to have a decision of the russian federation court and. will be recognized in that is this of america it's really important what's the position of our states in general on adoption of russian nationals by foreign parents i mean position is we. have to be patient we have to. recognize our obligations which our state law. give to us i mean. a special. article in

a family court there which. gives a right for any overseas adoptive families to adopt the russian child if this child cannot find the family inside the country more than say one hundred thousand children orphans results are little control it was all part of the support and the situation we're here to initiate a different process inside the country to stimulate our citizen to adopt russian children and to stay these children inside the company because we don't have so many children all countries but question children also have been subject to legal wrangling as to say and so-called tug of love cases in several countries how do you how do you make sure that the rights of these children are protected it's a very difficult. question because we don't have a right to. control. the foreign contras.

so they can reach foreign condorcet for it is done in their countries and in this situation we're here to initiate. the process all for. the whole chain of different agreements between russia and our partners reserve the european counters in resume united states of america. agreements and. recognition of court decisions both counters. the support. in family cases and in civil cases in the. contras far less the whole thank you very much for this interview thank you for the things.
