and he was killed turned into clashes with police and attacks on ethnic minorities there were fears that violence could flare again today in central moscow. or was there. police received reports and monitored various communications from the internet about a group of a football fans who planned to meet a number of people from the north caucuses here in the very heart of the russian capital to basically fight out their differences of course police decided that it is better to be safe than sorry and deployed a very large number of riot police all around my new square to prevent any aggression like the clashes that we saw happen last week on saturday between football fans and riot police we managed to talk to a representative of the press spokeswoman of the moscow special forces team who said that who gave us some details about why the police are here exactly and what they were expecting to happen. but if we can if you just got more we had

information that fans of the dynamic football club could come here to have some switch meeting with people from the russia's north caucasus to guaranteed people security from clashes moscow police a provided additional security measures here at the meniere's and i ask where we didn't close the underground shopping center which was decided by the center's security staff because earlier today the russian president meeting with the aid of clinton dam did the violence that took place on saturday here at nine years square saying that any perpetrators that instigate such violence especially hatred based on an aggression based on a religious or ethnic or national differences should be punished by the law the police should do everything in their power to prevent any such actions and all and everyone of those responsible for instigating violent clashes here on saturday will be brought to justice. must be at the recent events in most of the disorder attacks

on people should be classified as crimes and the people behind them punished especially dangerous where the action is aimed at fueling hatred. hostility based on racial national or religious differences such actions or threats to the state stability to counteract such actions place can and must use means allowed by the law and i stress any legal necessary and sufficient means there shouldn't be any chaos on the streets or in public places. the city police of course taking that message to heart as we see a large number of police presence here in the very heart of the russian capital where clashes occurred on saturday and rumors were that more clashes were to take place today so police decided that it is better to be safe than sorry deployed a large amount of people so far it does thankfully seem to be quiet. coming up on the program or so for the final frontier we catch up with the latest mission to the

international space station as the crew blast off from baikonur shortly. just a bit later this hour. the white house says the u.s. senate will pass the key nuclear arms treaty with russia before the new year needs to be ratified in both russia and the u.s. but there's been vocal opposition from some u.s. republican senators are these going to church or cans in washington d.c. . democrats believe they can get the treaty ratified by december seventeenth when this congress finishes its work we have one week left in the lot of people are nervous but we heard several republican senators say the votes are there in the treaty will most likely be ratified by the end of this week here's what the starts key negotiators said i do think that we have as i mentioned done our homework with regard to the new start treaty and it is. it a good situation to ratify it in the slam duck session well if the ratification is put off which is unlikely the new congress will deal with the treaty and it's not

going to be pretty two reasons are brought out for that one the new senate is going to be more republican and their main mission as they openly described it will be to undermine obama in every possible way which is certainly not going to help the treaty and second it was this congress that had done all the homework on the new start those of been eight months of hearings and in-depth discussion if the treaty ends up on the table of the new senate a new cycle will begin and it could be put off indefinitely maybe for months or years so the administration democrats in the senate and some republicans who are strongly advocating for the treaty say now is the time in terms of substance if you look at key questions concerns whatever senators had regarding the new start those were all addressed it has the unanimous support of the military and many top officials former and present have testified in favor of the treaty seems the only thing that could be standing in the way of the new start now are partisan games political bargaining which have very little to do with the treaty itself and its

contents the new start is arguably obama's major foreign policy achievement so he's trying real hard to push it through we heard him call for republican senators to step away from this overwhelming desire to undermine his presidency and really look at the treaty itself and how important it is for the u.s. national security to start is not just about reducing that to country's nuclear arsenals fire thirty. it's seen as a symbol of trust between the two nuclear superpowers and obama made it clear that further cooperation plans with russia could really go south without these key trading places stressed how important russia's assistance is in afghanistan how crucial russia's cooperation was on iran and other aspects of this u.s. washer we said and everybody here realizes that the new start is sort of the milestone of this we set. going to two can a massive cash injections being promised in a bid to fire up russia's outdated military promised of libya putin says moscow

will spend over six hundred billion dollars on upgrading the armed forces the massive investment will be spread over the next decade that is aimed to bring you the russian military up to modern day standards putin says the government will purchase twelve hundred units of military hardware and new factories will be open to the construction needs russia's current forces are mostly based on aging salvia technology most of which is due to be scrapped by twenty twenty. ahead we'll tell you how russian authorities are taking the hard line on hard calls substance abuse and a string of disturbing online ads deliberately designed to shock and upset potential abuses away from starting a lethal. the crisis over north korea on the korean peninsula and pyongyang has disputed nuclear program at the heart of talks between the russian and north korean foreign ministers russia says it's deeply concerned over reports of industrial uranium enrichment in north korea and called for the six party talks to restart or he's a go to person off spring trying to find out more about the high level meeting. we

do know that pyongyang's nuclear program is the most important issue being discussed north korea walked out of the six party talks last year which also include the united states south korea china japan and russia pyongyang also expelled international nuclear monitors from the country and continued with the nuclear tests calling causing off a huge wave of condemnation across the world this really worries russia since it borders in north korea and the peninsula is a neighboring region for russia and the the recent rise of tensions in on the plane into what is making the situation even worse since last month north korea launched an attack on the one of south korea's islands showing it four people were killed at least eighteen others were injured pyongyang said that in fact south korea attacked in northern territory's before that this was a reply by using force so this just shows how unstable the region still is the fact

that south korea is increasing cooperation with the united states constantly holding various military drills in the region in fact even after north korea's attack on that island south korea and the united states held a new set of military exercises south korea's has also recently when the new mormons were just calling for even closer ties with washington and this is definitely an intimidating factor for north korea and such close ties with the united states at this point where this moment may make the tensions even higher so the two foreign ministers are definitely have a lot to talk about here in moscow correspondent got person off shock tactics a limb an aging drug and alcohol abuse have divided opinion across russia videos of deformed fetuses and children eating feces is just a small part of

a controversial online campaign authorities have defended the ads saying that only harsh reality will discourage youngsters and kick some sense into addicts you may find some of the images in reflections report disturbing. me to happy mother for the march this is masha i used to smoke marijuana when i was pregnant with her internet ad as part of a stomach churning anti drunken painted fashion sashenka i was already on heroin then. surprisingly it's the least offensive episode of the series designed to shock some of them may leave a bad taste in your mouth quite literally like this one for instance. that's why we stop it here it's as if keeping quiet about drug abuse among school kids is like keeping dirt in your mouth the disturb an advert has provoked a huge discussion on the web when just how far we can go in trying to keep youngsters away from drugs. and yes it causes

a slight nausea impulse but that's what we need it will make those children who now think that it's bad to tell their parents and teachers about dealers in other words they do not report on dealers let them consider which is better with in their mouths or without food every year more than one hundred thousand people officially dying from overdose and drug related deaths and that doesn't include sue's size so a country of a believes people would better opening the eyes to the scale of the problem rather than concern themselves about the distance see of the adverts. or there's nothing humiliating or contradictory in this sound should we just keep silent about everything when i k let's keep our mouths shut and just live on let twenty year olds die and millions and billions of dollars flowing into drug dealers pockets while we just pretend that everything's perfect in our society. well you say as behind the fact that the anti drug advert is getting more primitive is another

shock in reality the targeting audience is getting younger and younger and the average age when youngsters in russia first try drugs has dropped to thirteen years with the ethics average life expectancy just twenty one for that matter but this is aimed at them so it has to be primitive in order to work do you think they don't know that drugs are banned they just need to have it literally imprinted in their minds the shocking can pain is actually a government initiative a response to the country's new priority in fighting the drug problem. we've always been concentrated on finding drugs and withdrawing them this july we've adopted a new state drug strategy now we need to focus on decreasing demand rather than trying to cope with the consequences. with the government's recent refocus on preventive measures we can expect more and more projects like this one aimed at literally disgusting the idea of drugs out of youngsters minds and yes it may be

unpleasant looking but so are the statistics of drug abuse in the country and if there is a chance no matter how small that this can stop some from stepping out of this clip or a slope its creators say it's worth the arthritis causing. reflection r.t. more scope. well to talk more about this controversial ad campaign let's talk to professor bush's live should recall from the state university he's an expert on narcotics thanks for being there the line with us tonight these are explicit ads as we heard in that report there the rain that rushes forty million internet audience the producers of the ad say the shock of the only way to get the message about drug abuse across even if it does cause offense surely this ad campaign is going to work here and. i think this is a good way to get the attention of the audience to close the it's not the best way to tackle the drug abuse or what is. the best ways to do good to tackle the drug

abuse the traditional methods. degrees and the. sort of the say turquand the drug abusers but that's not working. it's working but it's not a one time it's a matter for a long period. every year more than one hundred thousand die in russia from overdoses or drug related deaths i still come back to say although this ad campaign is disturbing surely something needs to be done about these equally horrific figures and i go back to you and say what you just suggested previous ways of dealing with it don't appear to be working what else could be done. what else of course the danish to solve the civil society should be. made and i think this way of getting the attention of the public is the way to initiate the other

effective commercial so from the civil society you know russia recently didn't sign an international agreement to destroy opium crops and drug making labs but now with the best intention there's also always a lot of distance isn't there between the passing of the law or one side and their actual hard graft of. tackling the problem almost straight doesn't the focus may be have to shift onto individuals themselves individuals who may be so sceptical to be coming out next shouldn't people try to look after themselves a bit better. i'm not sure that is the best way to talk about the individuals. i think we couldn't be sure about the individual because each person is different. maybe it's better to talk to every child every young person individually and. get in such intentionally problem by

the. professor russian authorities say they want to shift the focus to reducing the demand from drugs rather than dealing with the consequences what gets so many russian kids and young adults in the first place. because there are several reasons but i think talking about the children and other people the. reason is child abuse and neglect in our country it's not secret so the economics of prison our country made a great deal of. negative. child abuse in the glare to one of the world's problems. about the drug abuse disturbing campaigns like this always get people talking it's got us talking tonight but is there a danger do you think. with a big shock value like this could could actually confuse the message because people

are people we talk you more about the shock value of the other the message coming from it. i think that for me the message concerned drug abuse should be a positive message should. have a negative. and negative emotionally psychologically so i think it's not the the right way to deal with the public with the audience and i think the best way is the positive for. the first vicious live show because moscow state university thank you. kosovo's prime minister's declaring victory in the first parliamentary election since the self-proclaimed nation split from serbia the polls been undermined the european observers said they'd heard allegations of fraud in two areas loyal to the premier the official results yet to be announced the new government faces a number of challenges including a weak economy extremely high unemployment and endemic corruption possible remains

deeply divided along ethnic lines with most of its efforts of population boycotting serbia refuses to recognize kosovo's independence for the mark of gas and she's from the british serve an alliance for peace he told me the vote was undemocratic and cost of ok should be linked with. it's obviously very embarrassing for those great powers who created this fake state of course of all that is behaving in a very undemocratic way as much as rather than vote counting we've got vote cooking and we've got in the words of one western diplomat industrial scale fraud going on in the prime minister she's a central area of course i'm up for so called prime minister i should say that political power is important also because it's a cover for criminal activity it provides a really great smokescreen you where you can do the things underneath that smokescreen but what course what needs is to be linked as it should be to the rest of serbia its economic natural hinterland its source of strength it should not be cut off and all it means is the long term there will be no stable future for what
