well happened 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 to be generous to you to talk more we had information that fans of the dynamic football club could come here to have them from meeting with people from the russians north caucasus to guaranteed people security from clashes with moscow police to 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 centers security staff because earlier today the russian president meeting with the clint dempsey the violence that took place on saturday here at one years where saying that any perpetrators that instigate such violence especially a hatred based on an aggression based on a religious 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. the recent events in moscow 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 or threats to the state stability to counteract such actions place can and must use any means allowed by the law 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 will. 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 quickly localize 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. 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 along the way he's got a trip to cannes in washington d.c. . the records believe they can get the trivia 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 to start is not just about reducing that 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 systems is in have ghana stand out crucial russia's cooperation was on iran and other aspects of this u.s. russia reset and everybody here realizes that the new start is sort of the milestone of this we set. going to well to do more about the new study treaty would join us live from washington difficult for just what we know good evening to you good morning i should say from moscow so expectations are higher than does that mean no it doesn't mean this will be what's being dubbed as president obama's key foreign policy achievement could just be round the corner what are your thoughts well i think it well when you have people from colin powell to henry kissinger to bill clinton endorsing the start treaty it is a no brainer and prime minister putin is correct that it would be stupid for the republicans to continue to block it but then again they want to block everything i

think they're boxed into a corner now because our national security is at stake not only dropping the twenty thousand that are out there publicly that the intelligence community doesn't want to use a number but it's roughly twenty thousand or even more that both countries have down to some more reasonable number but the inspections the inspections that are necessary so that rogue terrorists don't get at these nuclear weapons that would be a disaster if you have terrorist to get at these weapons so for all of those reasons it's a must for the world's security to pass this treaty and i believe that republicans will come around because they too want this charity in the safety of the world it is or they've been dragging their heels so far one of the motives being of the open arms against russia or are they just trying to toll paedo one of obama's initiatives. in the past republicans used to work with democrats now since new game

they've been wanting to kill everything regardless they have a killer instinct that i wish the democrats would perhaps join some of but we try to get some things done unfortunately in a cost us dearly in the election the republicans have learned that sound bites can win elections instead of good governing something has to change and just today at the national press club i hosted standing hoyer the house majority leader who said we have to get past two year old election cycles and think in terms of the good of the country something has to happen to help us to good governance but good governance in the world not just the united states includes passage of the start treaty i think perhaps by embarrassing the republicans from trust stopping them from playing politics which is dangerous it's devastating it could cause terrorism to succeed and they will come around and past history you look at this whole debacle is really highlighted doesn't the shortcomings of the american political system can major issues like this really be hijacked to school point it seems like

. well you love your country i love mine we even when we lose elections i love our country and i love the fact that a majority of the american people can select a winner so i can't go with you on that one on the shortcomings of the political system as a whole but in the near term the fact that we have a cloture system that allows a minority of senators to block action has to be changed it is not in our us constitution but that's what's been hijacked republicans have hijacked the sixty vote rule instead of passing with fifty wrote you touched on a just now but i want to expand them a bit please the white house and many congressmen say a failure to ratify this treaty will endangered u.s. national security what potential threat so we're talking about here. we're talking about terrorists that could get at the nuclear weapons because we're not doing sufficient inspections on the security in the safety of the facilities that's the

main thing the other thing is when you have twenty thousand nuclear weapons aimed all over the world anybody can get at them but that's just too darn many to be honest and how can we persuade iran to go to zero when we have twenty thousand and won't reduce them that would be a ridiculous statement of immoral proportions so we have got to take the proper steps like from ronald reagan to bill clinton on through this has been bipartisan to rid the world of nuclear weapons and people called reagan silly for having the dream people said obama was silly for having the dream i think it's all of our dream when i was in college i organized the nuclear freeze rally that had twenty thousand people at it at the university of massachusetts headed up by senator ted kennedy we have got to rid the world of the threat of nuclear annihilation and this treaty is a small step toward that wonderful goal ok live from washington democratic strategist

we thank you for your input to an obscene small thank you it's a pleasure thank you. kareen put in sugar and pyongyang's 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 you ready would richmond in north korea and called for six party talks to restart he go to prison also been trying to find out more about the high level meeting was 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 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 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 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 held like 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. you know because can offer shock tactics and of eliminating drug and alcohol abuse of divided opinion across russia videos of deformed fetuses and children eating feces just a small part of a controversial online campaign authorities have defended the ads saying with only harsh reality will discourage youngsters and kick some sense into our dicks you may find some of the images of maria from austin is reporter. or. meet a happy motto for tomorrow she says masha i used to smoke marijuana when i was pregnant with her this internet ad is part of a stomach churning anti drunken painted sashing sashenka i was already on heroin then. surprisingly it's the least offensive five percent 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 one just how far we can go in trying to keep youngsters away from drugs than it was about because 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 teaches 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 glitz you size say countries only good news even believes people would better opening the scale of the problem rather than concern themselves of all the distance see of the adverts. who

are there's nothing contradictory in the 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 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 the average age when youngsters in russia first try drugs has jumped to thirteen years with the ethics everett's life expectancy just twenty one. the latter but all of 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 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 report on the concepts 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 three century focus 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 outright causing grief notion not see more. so international news stories in brief police arrested to solve the seventeen year old who took a group of children hostage at a nurse released in france all the pupils and teachers involved will reach for the harm many of those held were let go as police negotiated with the teenager over the

some of them former astronauts former cosmonauts coming to see the rocket being loaded into place and they still get that old tangle 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 the opportunity that i had which was to be able to actually step onto it and it's amazing experience now the three man crew they'll be going up in soyuz t.m.a. twenty consist of cosmonaut to me to become the wrath of an astronauts pollen s polly and caroline coleman for the me to be counteractive is 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 it 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.

e.u. leaders hope to be able to move decisively in saving the euro at this week's summit on the continent wide debt crisis the eurozone is battling to prevent the single currency from disintegrating well next john daunt who leads the e.u. referendum campaign in the united kingdom says countries are better off leaving the union 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 gordon 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 of promises 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 it would be costly to leave but it's costly to be in it it's costing the british

taxpayer forty eight million pounds 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 cost you already and anyway i'm not saying vote. to get out what i'm saying is let's help the discussion you know on the b.b.c. and on programs like this you know the pros and cons of europe so that the british public can decide whether they want to be in the you said the 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've 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 with the if you are crashing and burning at the moment there's never been

a chime postman's 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 so early on and 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 and 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 in ireland their stand up to a million euros in the one percent losses at four percent to seven hundred fifty thousand by their child benefit is crazy the amount they passed in child benefit their corporation tax they keep it at 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 money tree 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 you know 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 you know. coffers but we certainly can find seven billion pounds there'd be no need for these cuts 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 u.k. 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 god spain was out of the euro crisis can the you survive 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 have a sensible banking system and the great charlie was in brussels 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 on the streets all different under his order from 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 starr 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 you choose children go on these protests one of those emotions i don't live in a country where our chief the first to competition of course you can't condone could send throwing extinguishes all through she could have killed somebody however

at the same token they got carried away i do think it's right there protesting i do think it's right really joining them i do still support the protest i don't support the violence and i fully support the students and i hope the protests escalate and i think they will i mean we should purchase this. for example i've been in university sit ins and stuff on how their day it's great to see students protesting against the silly healthy about young people being angry now that the coalition governments approved these cuts in student funding what. 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 bother children christmas from john a thirty first fabulous bulb on the door mats for 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 practice stop
