on 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 fly it 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 them on your 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. not just because you just heard more than we had information that found such a dynamic football club could come here to house and some to meeting with people with no rational school community to guaranteed people security compassion is what most good police are provided additional security measures here at the meniere's

and i ask where we didn't use the underground shopping center which was decided by the senate to security staff at it because earlier today the russian president meeting with a condemned of the violence that took place on saturday here at nine years square saying that any perpetrators that instigate such violence especially a 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 the disorder attacks on people should be classified as crimes and the people behind dimly punished especially dangerous where the action is aimed at refuting hatred and will still itty bitty stone racial national or religious differences. such actions are threats

to the state's stability more than usual to counteract such actions police can and must use means allowed by the law and i stress any legal necessary and sufficient means it's because shouldn't be any chaos on the streets or in public places that are over sixty people were detained some of those have already been released but these are holding on to many of those as they believe they have more than enough evidence to charge them with aggravated assault or hooliganism or basically provoking any kind of racial hatred or violence but the violence that broke out here was very quick almost impossible to stop even though the police were doing everything in their power to put the localized the fights they did manage to disperse the crowds after a while but even then because most of the fans most of the people that were here were using the underground to leave there was quite a heavy police presence in the underground as well and we know that there were reports of several clashes between fans and police officers in the underground as

well. katrina czar of the reporting political analyst to read too bad which told us that nationalists recently hijacked the football fan community police probably hold that by negotiating with their leaders over the found so they can somehow avoid violence by yourself or speak to friends of their own police expected to find some kind of healthy force of someone there that's my impression and i think it was a mistake because there are no health or force us i'm on the road has been the last few years there so just try to stem the violence they try to leave it there obviously and now the nationalist groups have understood that they would use full flounce as a sort of cannon fodder for their own actions. coming up also for the final frontier we come with the latest into the international space station as the crew prepared a blast off from baikonur. all that the white house says the u.s.

senate will pass the key nuclear arms treaty with russia before the new year it needs to be ratified in both russia and the u.s. but there's been vocal opposition from some u.s. republican senators that is going to chip cans in washington d.c. . that of course 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 have 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. in 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 reasons are brought out for that one the new senate is going to be more republican and their main mission as they 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 content 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 by a third. 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 the craft how important russia is this truth is in of ghana stand out also watches cooperation with the new rand and other aspects of this is u.s. russia reset and everybody here realizes that the new start is sort of the milestone of this we set. a course we're not going to cheat you can a massive cash injection is being promised in a bid to fire up russia's outdated military prime minister vladimir putin says that moscow will spend over six hundred billion dollars on upgrading the armed forces the investment will be spread over the next decade and is aimed at bringing the

russian military have to modern standards putin says the government will purchase twelve hundred units of domestic military hardware and new factories will be open to me construction needs russia's current armed forces are largely based on aging soviet technology most of which is said to be scrapped by twenty twenty. head who tell you how russian authorities are taking the hard line on hard core substance abuse with a string of disturbed. liberal into that designed shocking upset centrifuges away from stardom and before. the crisis 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 six party talks to restart r.t.c. go pers can also been trying to find out more about the high level meeting behind closed doors. 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 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 peninsula 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 northern territory's before that and 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 held the new mormons which is calling for even closer ties with washington and this is definitely an intimidating factor for north korea such close ties with the united states at this moment may make the attentions even higher. saudi lips are echoed by the director of korean studies at the russian academy of sciences who told us he believes the talks stole between the two koreas because of washington and seoul's counterproductive demands. can hear all of these fellows were critical towards the six party talks has now agreed to take part in this talks and now it's the itself parade united states who don't want to return to the talks they say they

want to talk to the north korea before. this of conditions it is counterproductive for doesn't solve anything i think that. russia along with china should. press its partners in the united states and the south korea to get back to the talks. go be told where their director of korean studies at the russian academy of science the russian deputy prime minister's visit to the southern new japan has had a frosty reaction from tokyo the japanese premier went as far as calling it a regrettable move the area in question has been a sensitive topic for both countries since world war two soviet forces took control of the four islands during the conflict the territories believed to be rich in natural resources tokyo for its parts demanding that russia returns the archipelago while moscow insists they were never japan's to begin with it's the second visit by a russian official to upset the japanese in november tokyo temporarily recalled its

ambassador from moscow after president delivered of became the first question needed to set foot on the colonel's. next tonight shock tactics aimed to eliminating 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 ad campaign authorities have defended the ads those say that only harsh reality will discourage youngsters and kick some sense into attics you may find some of the images in roof a national report disturbing. i. meet a happy mother full to my she says masha i used to smoke marijuana when i was pregnant with the bt thinks internet ad is part of a stomach churning anti drunken paleness sashing sashenka i was already on heroin then. surprisingly it's the least offensive side 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 says that 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 on just how far we can go in trying to keep youngsters away from drugs that was a word that 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 or let them consider which is better with in their mouths or without food every year more than one hundred thousand people officially dying for sure from drug related deaths and that doesn't. take countries to illegal believes people would better opening the scale of the problem rather than concern themselves of all to descend c. of the adverts. who are. contradictory and should we just keep

silent about everything why ok 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 is perfect in our society. says behind the fact that the anti drug advert is getting more primitive is another shocking reality the targeting audience is getting younger and younger and the average age when youngsters in russia first try drugs has jumped to thirteen years with the addicks everett's life expectancy to twenty one. this is aimed at them so it has to be primitive in order to work here do you think they don't know what drugs are when 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 but as a concept 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 onto these slippery slope its creators say it's worth the arthritis causing. raef notion r.t. more scope. fine ride for you a little later in the program tonight on our team russia debut first hybrid car described as small but powerful and it promises to keep the city clean. twenty years before that kosovo's prime minister has declared victory in the first

political power is important also because it's a cover for criminal activity provides a very 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 was yugoslavia what they now call the western balkans until this one sidedness and the buyers in western diplomacy as is addressed. well views in brief tonight police have arrested a sword wielding seventeen year old who took a group of children hostage and nursery in eastern france all the pupils and teachers involved were released without harm when. those held will go as place to go see to the teenager or the fun rest with freedom for authorities entered the building local media as described the hostage taker is mentally unstable. a roadside bombs exploded near a school bus in the northwestern pakistani city of push our it's injured
