resent it at 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 cannot use department we had information that finds that the dynamic football club could come here to house them from meeting with people from the russians north caucasus to guaranteed people security from clashes moscow police to provided additional security measures here at the meniere's and ask where we didn't use the underground shopping center which was decided by the send to security staff because earlier today the russian president meeting with condemned the violence that took place on saturday here at one years where 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

every one 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 are a threat 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 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 police are holding on to many of those as they believe they have more than enough evidence to charge them with aggravated assault or hooliganism are 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 new year it needs to be ratified by in both russia and the u.s. but there has been vocal opposition from some u.s. republican senators or he's got agency has more from washington. that courts 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 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 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 washer could really go south without these key

trading places stressed how important washes assistance is in of ghana stand out crucial watches cooperation was on iran and other aspects of this you ask russia we said and everybody here realizes that the new start is sort of the milestone of this. well for some new insight into the start treaty we're joined live from washington by been deputy director of the national security network good to have you with us so let's put this treaty in perspective what does it mean for the national security of the united states and what does it mean for global security this is a significant treaty for american national security when looking at the broader context within which this type of agreement is made and is being made american global leadership president obama's leadership in particular is being put to the test this is the type of treaty that demonstrates a restored american leadership especially after the bush administration where much credibility was squandered in addition to that it does make significant cuts in the nuclear arsenal the strategic arsenal and that makes

a difference and that will lead to potentially additional type of work in the nonproliferation arms control arena what do you think the ramifications the consequences could be if the treaty doesn't get passed well if it doesn't get passed and actually fails there could be serious consequences for american leadership on arms control and the fallout for the american reputation around the world would be significant if it doesn't pass but it is not turned down but just delayed that too will also signal that president obama is weak at home that's why advocates for the treaty are saying it needs to get passed now. if he doesn't go through this week what do you think might happen to the so-called reset in u.s. russia relations. well the reset is real and the reset has been making gains in fact one of the surprising benefits of the treaty and the debate that we're seeing now in the congress is that the reset is being discussed openly

by policymakers on capitol hill that's a new addition to the debate typically is not the kind of discussion that we see rushes oftentimes made out to be a very black and wait country that american policy makers look at but the reset is creating layers of gray and enabling congress and key senators to talk about the value of the american russian relationship i think in the long run this is a good thing now both presidents say the treaty establishes a new level of trust between the two countries what do you think could be the extra benefits if this new agreement gets passed well in the immediate term there certainly are going to be many benefits that the obama administration is going to look to certainly with regards to afghanistan and iran in our near term foreign policy interests over the long run as the reset begins to take place in a more thought environment there will be calls for deeper economic cooperation

other types of global initiatives the environment is certainly an area where there could be potential and i believe that this is going to bring in series of new discussions to the relationship rather than the older debates that seem to have dominated for the last decade or so all right live in washington joel rubin deputy director of the national security network thanks for your perspective. the crisis on the korean peninsula and pyongyang's disputed nuclear program where 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 a restart of the six party talks or he ever appears cannot has been trying to find out more about what went on behind closed doors at 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 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 and so 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 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 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. shock tactics aimed at eliminating drug and alcohol abuse have divided opinion across russia videos of deformed fetuses and children eating feces are just a small part of a controversial online campaign thorin is have defended the ads saying that only the harsh reality will discourage youngsters and kick some sense into addicts just a warning you may find some of the images and maria if an ocean is report disturbing. means a happy motto for the march she says masha i used to smoke marijuana when i was

pregnant with her face internet ad as part of a stomach churning and to drunken pain in session i was already on heroin then. surprisingly it's the least offensive five percent of the series designed to shock some of them may lead to that taste in your mouth quite literally like this one for instance. that's why we stop it here it says it's keeping quiet about drug abuse amongst kook aids is like keeping dirt in your mouth the disturbing adverse has provoked a huge discussion on the web on just how far we can go in trying to keep youngsters away from drugs though that was the word 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. every year more than one hundred thousand people officially

dying from overdose and drug related deaths and that doesn't. say country. believes people would be better opening the scale of the problem rather than concern themselves about the distant sea of the adverts. who are there's nothing a few million or contradictory in the sand 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 dropped to thirteen years with the ethics of ridgelines expectancy just twenty one. the latter but all of this is aimed at

them so it has to be primitive in order to worry do you think they don't know that 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 new priority in fighting the drug problem. 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. where the government's recently 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 the base can stop some from stepping out of this clip or a slope its creators say it's worth the arthritis causing. refinish nazi. turning

being that russia can produce a good car. or. if. you love the. system 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 it's actually going to the consumers is 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 materials to the 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 so that they'll be going. around mid-way through twenty twelve so that's when people will be able to get in. finally in this news block meet

wide debt crisis the eurozone is battling to prevent the single currency from disintegrating john gone who leaves the e.u. referendum campaign in the u.k. 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 have promised us that it was a labor party manifesto commitment by tony blair that gordon brown of course and then david cameron famously in oppositions gave a cast on 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 it's better just to let sleeping dogs lie yes he would be costly 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 on the island another seven billion pounds of

our money saw 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 pros and 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 that 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 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 a person's first to have the discussion arlen's and a lot 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 i don't 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 their stamp duty up to a million euros and one percent larger four percent to seven hundred fifty thousand by their child benefit is crazy them out they pay out 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 can 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 nonsense and we're going to see. more protests too in 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 be cut 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 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. i certainly think the euro is crashing and burning our belief or to go up and spain was out of the euro currency 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 had a sensible banking system and the great irony 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 languages or 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 metropolitan police treat for saying don't let your children go on these protests what a load of nonsense i don't live in a country where these persons who competition of course you can't condone it send throwing extinguishes off roofs you could've killed somebody however. but the same token they got carried away i do think you trot that protesting i do think it's what the unions are 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. think they will i mean we should approach just this week for example i've been in university sit ins and stuff they do it's great to see students protest against 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 are going to still celebrate christmas they're still going to bother children christmas presents john a thirty first fabulous the ball 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 practice of them stop their parliament and think it's not about it isn't over it's certainly is and i have on the debate about europe is definitely not i've been
