the presidential election. apparently. one of the organizations monitoring the elections its observers to. polling stations to observe the way voting is going they're not satisfied with the way the election was handled they said the results are not satisfactory. itself not a democratic one and that basically they wouldn't sign off on an election such as the one that took place here on sunday of course the president and president elect . has already commented on this telling the to basically mind their own business. sometimes forgets that it came to observe the election. it's not for them everything is calm and quiet of course in very stark contrast to what was happening in this very square

last night thousands of protesters with banners. protest the result. of. the parliament building and. the parliament building. the doors smashing in the windows. break through. and that's when it turned violent with. everybody camera crew in the. back. our camera got a little damaged we're not the only crew to have sustained injuries from last night . been hospitalized no one's been badly injured the opposition is promising to bring people out. tonight with many of the opposition leaders detained some in the

hospital and the way the riot police dispersed last night's protest it's not certain whether many will brave the chance russia has. position saying the elections. are its domestic business and it is not russia's business to comment on the way the elections will go and the way the votes were counted and of course the outcome of that result the russian president had however expressed hope that will follow a more democratic way of development in the future that ties between russia and belarus will continue to flourish as they have been partners and friends for a very long time but no strict comments about how. the election which many say is already a comment in itself. while the other russia in global affairs the magazine told.

us in minsk took place because many think. has been empowered through all. i think that people who went to the streets they doubt that. he can we but he can't win so much submissively so it's so i think it's that's a big. indication of nervousness of the regime that results are so high and the protests were beaten source so hardly first it seems like people and bill it was started to be time to look at he's in power so since not in eighty four it's a long long time second opposition is very unskillful and bad politically because they. were seven or eight persons for a very limited electorate so it's not serious but at the same time elections in billows used to be organized in the way we cheer so to see makes

victory for me some question could pretty secure. well coming up in the program of cool to break time find out why a rainy day or an abrupt end to diplomatic relations with. russia's foreign minister has warned that the new strategic arms reduction treaty with washington could not be amended all we negotiated so to get out of it all voiced his hope that the u.s. senate will ratify the treaty soon i'm told russian lawmakers are ready to do the saying on sunday we're ok bombs democrats for back another republican attempt to amend the deal a set of votes turned down calls to alter and effectively kill off the start treaty hailed as one of the u.s. administration's main foreign policy achievements stalled would slash the two you can't use deployed nuclear arsenals by a third signed by to begin with better than barack obama in april it needs to be

ratified by both the american set it on the russian duma it's a race against time for the democrats used majority in the senate will be reduced in january they currently need at least nine republican votes to pass the treaty of alma's now fading senators personally in them to support start. brother debate the rivetted is visiting india on a two day trip aimed at strengthening trade and investment teles the two countries are expected to sign a number of agreements current seeing reports from new delhi ahead of the talks. the eleventh annual russia india summit is expected to start shortly as president medvedev arrives late on monday night in new delhi he will be in india for two days and i suspect the sign over a dozen agreements with the indian side of the agreement will be the joint development of a fifth generation fighter aircraft over thirty billion dollars this contract has been negotiated for a while now and will be finalized on tuesday between president medvedev and prime

minister singh also on the cards is the expansion of cooperation in the civil nuclear energy sector russia is expected to build another two additional nuclear reactors for india this agreement is also expected on tuesday and in fact india is looking at russia to provide the technology to feed its growing demand for energy the demand by its economy for energy and the russian side over the next twenty years is expected to build at least fifteen to twenty nuclear reactors for india also in the economic sector this is one sector that both sides would like to expand in a big way even though the potential is there the reality is that bilateral trade means expansion and both sides would like to expand this to twenty billion dollars by two thousand and fifteen here in new delhi on monday there was a forum of business leaders from both sides with a day where they were discussing trade and investment and clearly what we're going to see going forward is that earlier that the relationship between russia and india

was largely government of government but now we see business to business contacts here in india russia is seen as a strategic partner and as both sides complete a decade of strategic partnership president will be looking at taking this to the next level when he arrives in new delhi. now north korea says it will not retaliate against war games close to a disputed maritime zone but it has condemned the minute she trails calling them a reckless military provocation russia called for a u.n. security council session warning this. korean exercise could further destabilize the already volatile korean peninsula life. altering events for us over a new york this is where the threats of war on the korean peninsula seems to be a very real one doesn't is that one of the main power ways in the region and the un doing in this case to avoid the worst scenario.

well you know alice the events of the last couple of days are definitely the threats and warning signs that have been coming from north korea have been having the international community certainly walking on eggshells here in new york the united nations security council has been meeting round the clock throughout the weekend these emergency sessions were called for by russia which is certainly not taking the tensions between south and north korea likely whatsoever for many different reasons one of them of course being russia's proximity to a possible conflict as well as a serious threat that any tensions including a war would cause to the international community let's take a listen to what the russian ambassador to the u.n. said here in new york last night there may be a division of tension. serious conflict for that matter so in the big chamber when they have this private meeting which was also of course asked for by the russian

federation. we reiterated the cool or a full forty straight on both borders in the no uncertain terms we asked for ask the republic of korea to refrain from conducting this exercise at this at this point in time but there are certain political circumstances would try to deal with the situation unfortunately so far the security council has not been entirely successful. well alice throughout the weekend russia the united nations has been circulating the draft document where it proposed that the best thing to do to downplay the tensions between south and north korea would be to make sure that all of the sides that are involved contain themselves and really not escalating tensions by taking any further steps that could cause north korea to act out aggressively or south korea and also what russia is proposing is that the united nations security. secretary general send two envoys to both say will in pyongyang

that could help make sure that tensions don't escalate and of course the united states has been playing somewhat of a different game we have to remember that the u.s. has as many as twenty soldiers involved in the military exercises with south korea and the u.s. of course has been reader reading over and over again that what's what's more important is to condemn the actions of north korea and this of course is something that has been causing a diplomatic deadlock throughout the weekend here but for now security council sessions have somewhat died down and the members have taken a break to wait and see this because now north korea has said that they're not going to react to the military exercises last month one of the biggest flare ups between the two koreas since the war the nine hundred fifty s. so what are people in the u.n. say is there any hope of an improvement to the current situation. well alice the current situation is of course just an echo of many years of tensions between south and north korea that has lasted for as many as sixty years now and

certainly one of such latest conflicts took place only a month ago with the killing of four people in an island which is a borderline island between south and north korea four people were killed and this is of course was another reason for the international community to be outraged with north korea certainly a long standing conflict for now for today what could have turned into a very dangerous situation it looks like has been avoided with north korea taking a step back but i have to say the international community is very cautious about this whole situation all of the sides involved the entire international community is watching very closely and certainly here in new york at the security council in the entire united nations are going to continue working very hard to see what they can do to avoid the international community having to walk on eggshells yet again. many thanks. live from new york for. well some more reaction to this now. from the russian academy of sciences says the

possibility of war between the two countries is now at its highest point for decades. first time i've been watchin north korea close of this for last to thirty five years i would say that the danger war is now is now real and it can start unpredictably and i have been saying it's ready for talks for several months already. it has been said to the chinese it has been said publicly. so parrot is ready for dialogue or dialogue both on on the issues of nuclear nuclear program and the broader issues of security in the korean peninsula unfortunately this is the u.s. and south korea were not ready for the dialogue and this gives us another suspicion that the real goal of both exercises and this. refusal to start the dialogue is to really should north korea even to get into concessions well that was

korea that you ordered from the russian capital. now a group of influential iranian m.p.'s have voted for to round to break all diplomatic ties with the u.k. after its ambassador criticized the country's human rights record the move comes on the back of iran's claim that britain's intelligence service was involved in the assassination of a top frances. was killed during a bomb attack in the reigning capital last month to round base a political commentator can the party says the threats to break off ties is a warning that iran will not stand for britain's meddling iran doesn't seem to have a problem with britain and the us for as long as. i could i mix and scientists are not assassinated in broad daylight in tehran very little happens here when things like this happen when bombs go off it is almost always from

overseas seems to still be you know. person. type of. and it feels that it speak out against the domestic affairs of other nations it will whereas iranian lawmakers quite clearly disagree but this is to send a strong warning well a strong warning this is to send a warning to to britain that iran is prepared to go as far as that if such actions by proxy terrorist organizations are not stopped. now amid the flurry of what he needs to have shed more light on u.s. foreign policy where revelations about washington's involvement in counterterrorism operations in yemen now with a blown website has provided more details of how fears are growing that the arab nation is becoming a terre haute spalls and as aussies that gun each account has been finding out somewhat concerned about turning into a new wall. america's secret aims in yemen are secret no more as

confirmed by recent weeks the leaks this patch of classified diplomatic cables u.s. special operations forces are carrying out strikes against suspected terrorists in yemen and the yemeni government is taking the credit in exchange for yemen's cooperation the u.s. heavily finances the country's fragile government but u.s. plans in yemen go further than strikes the military are discussing long term basis and asking for more than a billion dollars to fight al qaeda there some of bin laden had a dream for him in a nightmare for us it was to involve us in in even conclusive wars in distant lands that would cost us a fortune there's a couple of other intelligence national security bureaucracy. in this country austere and americans are rushing only scared when the parcel bomb hysteria broke out in october the us twenty four hour news machine did not fall short of feeding

americans worst fears a second suspicious package from yemen was found at a better facility the ideal country. years ago already believed out in the arabian peninsula is behind the shipment the packages from yemen gave rise to a lot of confusion as to whether they were really parcel bombs but one thing that was beyond doubt the fear trigger has been pulled out yemen was in the news as a terrorist in a matter of days the u.s. officially deployed predator drones in yemen and started talking about bases there . they deliberately overblow all of these incidents because there is a huge constituency a huge business national security business which is paid for by the us taxpayer it's a way of capturing the political support a way of doing a lot of different things but what it's not doing is defeating terrorism the most generous estimates suggest there are perhaps several hundred al qaida members in the poverty stricken strive torn deserts of yemen u.s.

special forces have been chasing them for years causing dozens of civilian deaths and what the u.s. is doing in yemen is really inflating the prominence of al qaeda in the arabian peninsula this is a group that probably would have very little street value in the arab street or the muslim street if the united states wasn't propping up anwar a lot of the sort of second coming of osama bin laden i think it it it goes to show how little we've learned from the boogeyman days of bush and cheney and how our own policies in dangerous more in many cases that al qaeda is policies on the surface american leaders are motivated by the fear of one day receiving a parcel bomb but some say the sas has other layers of motivation you're not going to make the technology of a letter bomb go away by attacking what you think is al-qaeda in yemen you're just going to make it move to another place the u.s. government is basically very much into a marketing campaign to make these things look like the government is being effective in light of modern u.s.
