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 the press spokeswoman of the moscow special forces team who said that who gave us some details about why the police are here exactly what they were expecting to happen. not just because you just heard more we had information that fans of the dynamic football club could come here to have some fun to meeting with people from the russia's north caucasus to guaranteed people security from clashes with moscow police to provided additional security measures here at the many years and i ask where we didn't close the underground shopping center which was decided by the send to security staff because earlier today the russian president meeting with a condemned to the violence that took place on saturday here at one 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 and hostility based on racial national or religious differences such actions are a threat to the state stability will get a new deal to counteract such actions place can and must use means allowed by the law and i stress and the legal necessary and sufficient means is that there shouldn't be any chaos on the streets or in public places. 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 awhile 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. ahead for the final frontier we catch up with the latest mission to the national space station as a crew prepared to blast off from baikonur. says the u.s.

senate will pass the key nuclear arms treaty with russia before the new year did needs to be ratified in both russia and the u.s. but there's been vocal opposition from some u.s. republican senators got into cameras in washington d.c. . that accords 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 and 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 slim 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 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 the start is not just about reducing the two countries nuclear arsenals fire 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 stressed how important russia is this france is in have ghana stand out crucial watches cooperation was on iran and other aspects of this is us russia reset and everybody here realizes that the new start is sort of the milestone of this we set out is correspondent going to church or can a massive cash injections being promised in a bid to fire up russia's dated military prime minister vladimir putin says 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 up to modern standards and says the government will purchase twelve hundred units of domestic military hardware and new factories will be opened to

meet construction needs russia's current arms forces largely based on aging soviet technology most of which is due to be scrapped by twenty twenty all the way in the program we'll tell you how russian authorities are taking the hard line on hard core substance abuse string of the stuff online ads deliberately designed to shock and upset potential users away from starting a before. crisis on the korean peninsula pyongyang has disputed nuclear program were 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 he's a go to his can all spin trying to find out more about the high level meeting held 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 the united states south korea china japan and russia. 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 with 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 shelling it four people were killed at least eighteen others were injured pyongyang said that in fact south korea attacked northern territories before that and this was their 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 hélène the new mall and we're just 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 tensions even higher. artie's you go pers going off the russian deputy prime minister's visit to the southern coastal islands near 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 me rich in natural resources tokyo for its part is demanding that russia returns the archipelago while moscow insists they would never japan's to start 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 better became the first russian leader to set foot on a cold. shock tactics and limiting drug and alcohol abuse of divided opinion across russia videos of deformed fetuses and children eating feces are just a small part of a controversial new online campaign authorities have defended the ad saying that only harsh reality will discourage youngsters and kick some sense into addicts you may find some of the images of mary from auschwitz report disturbing or. meet a happy mom and fall into my she says masha i used to smoke marijuana when i was pregnant with the b.b.c. internet ad is part of the stomach churning anti drunken paleness sashing sashenka i was already on heroin then. surprisingly it's the least offensive happy st of the series designed to shock some of them may lead to that tasting in 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 that was about the 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 the only good news of it believes people had better opening the scale of the problem

rather than concern themselves of all the distant sea of the adverts. who are there's one other question millions you know contradictory and 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 is perfect in our society. as behind the fact that the anti drug advert is getting more primitive is another shock in reality the target to know what is his getting younger and younger the average age when youngsters in russia first try drugs has jumped to thirteen years with the ethics of her life expectancy just twenty one. this is aimed at them so it has to be primitive in order to work do you think they don't know what drugs are bad 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 need priority in fighting the drug problem but as.

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 someone from stepping onto the slippery slope its creators say it's worth the arthritis causing raef notion r.t. more scope. ride few bit later in the program the smalling rush sure did as its first hybrid car is described as small powerful and it promises to keep the city a clean. would use it briefly coming up to midnight fifty moscow time police arrested

undergo a series of tests every team looks through some part of the rocket engine the electronics now so used him a rocket widely regarded as the best way the most safe way and the most reliable way of getting people into space and plenty of people coming gathering here most some of them former astronauts former cosmonauts coming to see the rocket being loaded into place and they still get that old take of knowing what it was like of launching from a republican or it's always fun to see a vehicle getting ready to launch whether it be a shuttle or a soyuz and if it does take you back to them to me that i had which was to be able to actually step onto it and it's amazing experience now the three month crew they'll be going up in soyuz t.m.a. twenty consist of cosmonaut to me to become their active and astronauts polonetsky polly and caroline coleman for me to become their activities the commander of the mission it's his first time in space and he'll be carrying out two spacewalks while he's out there he'll be removing one of the experiments that's on the whole of the

i assess also attaching another two to collect information from up in space to give us more knowledge about what goes on in the cosmos peter all of baikonur. there's a new car on the way which could help really just rushes to baku to this time it's no gas guzzler it is the country's first hybrid vehicle designers hope it will make eco friendly driving more affordable so our first took a look. russia is entering the hybrid calm ok this is one of the first hybrid cars on the built in hearing today from the construction team some of the team behind the project we know that this car runs on a combined gas and electric and we've been hearing about some of the new technology sort of we'll say being nice and it's an incredibly exciting project now one of the founders of the project mikhail prokhorov spake today and introduced the cars and

he was saying that this is really about breaking stereotypes one of these being that russia can produce a good car. if. you know that. you can see the three different types they keep a hatchback and a minivan and we can take a look inside because we've heard a lot about what is actually going to the consumers as well as saving money on the car they're actually going to be reasonably cheap to buy so they'll go and sell for around ten thousand dollars and inside the car you can see there's quite a lot of space there's light material so they used inside some of the similar in the space industry and also you can see this on it's going to be able to drive these on the roads of russia for a while. hopefully around midway three twenty twelve so that's when people will be able to get in. very nice to

next meet a family pet you're unlikely to want to snuggle up to on the sofa with us exactly what gannon likes to do sometimes she's a much loved and pampered pet crocodile guess you heard it correct for a russian family in siberia it's not the fifteen year old reptiles usual have it or no prefer to spend their winters elsewhere in roseville world doesn't matter too much when the cold it's as summers are spent lazing about in a russian country house where she has her own swimming pool and she'll definitely need more room to maneuver because she'll be five metres long when she's fully grown but here is the big disclaimer having a pet crocodiles not recommended only one is definitely for life too since they could live to one hundred years. he said story. on r.t. . here leaders hope to be able to move decisively in saving the euro at this week's

summit on the continent wide debt crisis the euro zone's battling to prevent the single currency from disintegrating john daunt two leads the referendum campaign in the u.k. says countries are better off leaving the union now before it collapses. today i'm talking to john gaunt british media personality and head of the referendum campaign he's demanding that the british people should be allowed to vote on

whether they want to remain members of the european union john gaunt thanks very much for talking to r.t. now first of all tell me a bit about the e.u. referendum campaign is this is purely about getting our democratic right to have a vote because three leaders have promised us that it was a labor party manifesto commitment by tony blair than gordon brown of course and then david cameron famously in oppositions gave a cast iron guarantee that he would have a referendum on the subject so once i realized it was vance i thought yeah hold on this is wrong and i do believe we've been denied our democratic right it would be costly to implement a referendum on being in the i mean the u.k. is already a member of the european union isn't it better just to let sleeping dogs lie yes he would be costly to leave but it's costly to be in it it's costing the british taxpayer forty eight million pound a day to be in the we've just given the island another seven billion pounds of our money for another four hundred fifty million pounds in the budget increase it's

going to be even more than that so it's costly already and anyway i'm not saying to get out what i'm saying is let's have the discussion you know on the b.b.c. and on programs like this you know the pro. cons of europe so that the british public can decide whether they want to be in the you said successive leaders have promised a referendum of course that's true but since the implementation of it has been cheating that's become rather a moot point hasn't it do you think we missed the boat on a referendum no i don't think gordon brown had absolutely no right to sign the lisbon treaty stroke constitution it was the same thing at the manifesto commitment by labels to have a referendum on that they played with words david cameron played with words you know if you are crashing and burning at the moment there's never been a chime persons first to have the discussion arlen's in and out of trouble at the moment in the e.u. in the i.m.f. of step ten to bail them out surely arland would be in

a lot more trouble if they didn't have that kind of backup so isn't the e.u. a force for good is that i think we should be bailing out ireland i mean that's my own personal view i thought it is ironic i was watching the budget this week an island there stand up to a million euros and one percent losses at four percent to seven hundred fifty thousand by their child benefit is crazy them out they pat in child benefit they're corporation tax they keep it to twelve and a half percent no wonder countries are companies are relocated from germany from portugal from spain from the united kingdom to ireland well how could you have monetary union if you haven't got every other form of union and political union in place the answer is you can't how can you tie the economy of greece to the economy of germany it's just ludicrous to holding is a nonsense and we're going to see more protests during this winter of discontent because ordinary folk who say why should we lose forty thousand police officers why should public sector workers be losing their jobs why should me along with meals on

wheels because why should help for the elderly because why should the arts budget because why should we not have enough money in our coffers but we certainly can find seven billion pounds there'd be no need for these. kurtz what's the economists argue if we weren't in the year and we are seeing lots of protests they started off in continental europe and they've now undoubtedly spreads the case do you see this as the sort of beginning of the end of the e.u. but i certainly think the euro is crashing and burning our belief to go spain was out of the euro classic family you survived as well and as you say you've got across europe i mean you know in germany now people are protesting they don't want to bail out these countries that they've that had a sensible banking system and the great charlie was in brussels about two months ago in brussels they were discussing the budget they were discussing the hospitality budget they put it up to two point one million pounds meanwhile one hundred thousand europeans are on the streets all different languages all different

nationalities protesting about the austerity cuts one hundred thousand people inside there were basically voted to increase their budget for oysters and champagne that's what's wrong there's a disconnect between the political elite not just in the united kingdom but right across europe and the ordinary man and woman in the street and i think ordinary men and women have had enough they're the ones losing their houses they're the ones losing their jobs through no fault of their own and briefly about the students do you support what the students are doing in terms of going out onto the streets burning stuff throwing things but our support students completely in their right to protest today in the daily telegraph front page the metro complete streets are saying don't let your children go on these protests what a load of nonsense i don't live in a country where our chief the first is to competition of course you can't condone could send throwing extinguishes off roofs you could have killed somebody however on the same token they got carried away i do think you try protesting i do think it's right really joining them i do still support their protest i don't support or

condone the violence and i fully support the students and i hope the protests escalate. and i think they will i mean we should protest this week for example a permanent averse to sit ins and stuff i hope they do it's great to see students protesting. the silly healthy about young people being angry now that the coalition governments approved these cuts in student funding what the students and the trade unions and others who might join with them going to do now because what's going to happen is christmas so traditionally british people of them still celebrate christmas they're still going to buy their children christmas from johnnie thirty first february first on the door mat before the credit card people will be beginning to lose their jobs people have been living through for this on their credit cards to pay their mortgages they're going to start defaulting that's when the real pressures of them stop their parliament and think it's not about it isn't over it's certainly under debate about europe is definitely not over and about the view that will continue don't go on thank you.
