am in moscow i match reza good to have you with us here on r t our top story global media has responded to news that a lot of your putin will campaign to return to his old job as president next year he's been backed by russia's current president dmitry medvedev who's now aiming to replace putin as prime minister or he's in use and now it has more. the announcement itself not a very big surprise but how and when it happens some analysts are saying it was the best kept political secret in modern history of course social networks went crazy with reaction if we take a look at some of the tweets that came immediately stateside from senator john mccain not a big surprise coming from him he of course a former presidential candidate in the u.s. in two thousand and eight says surprise surprise shocking new speaking is running for president and then here in bras are from presidential aide our quote which we

have nothing to be cheerful about it's better to be playing ice hockey at luzhniki that of course is the stadium where the united russia convention took place and the announcement was made he goes on to say it's high time to switch to a sports channel i know other another tweet from katrina vanden fugal who's the editor of the nation says they did it to replace hooten democracy russian style not so they were going to hear from a lot of analysts whether or not this is the path to russia creating its own democracy so to say not necessarily. taking that beat the western model that we see in the united states and western europe a very different reaction on the social networks and this really is just the beginning i think it's fair to say this announcement happens on the weekend super out this monday we're going to be hearing a lot of different analysis about what this means with your future running against the president in trying to. push him doesn't joy

a slightly higher approval rating than president medvedev it's about three percent and really he is known for bringing stability to russia after the turbulent ninety's russian citizens of course very much appreciate that report a young man from voice of russia radio had this to say. to start creating jobs just like other presidents other prime ministers have to do across the globe to start the russian economic engine. going again restart the economy there i don't think he needs to change this point he has been very. consistent as showing himself as a very strong decisive leader and he certainly has done the same with his protege obviously your present ideas and this is the kind of political intelligence this is the kind of smarts but i think people respect whether they're in russia or the us be shown to be very decisive very strong and has a vision for russia and i think that whether it's the u.s. or russia or any other country where you have a leader who has a vision and a strength that people can see that's that that's the individual they want to

office. they did it would certainly have their work cut out for them what they need to do now is convince the rights of people that it's their tandem that will take through the next decade i move past stability to further development. well for a little bit more about this with political analyst victoria and over from moscow state university of international relations thank you very much for joining us here on r t so you're an expert in foreign relations what do you make of the international reaction to the announcement i would see everybody more or less outside russia inside russia they were expecting this kind of out of it were usually two ways either medvedev or putin as the contenders so we could see that there was no. nothing really negative came out of it everybody was driving either taking it positively or taking with you truly and it was expected from other point that putting as many that if was met by highest ranking officials

in europe and in the united states at the same time so he would have same talks with american even being the prime minister or he would meet with biden so it was clear that from the outside russia all of their leaders would need both a little bit of a protein understanding that it would be i their next president coming as a candidate for presidency it were just still still important rule in person in the party so i would say i brought this message was taken rather positively despite there was no real witnesses move in position media so i would say it was just expected so just finally people thought ok so now you just announced it could be no more uncertainties there was no. news large we expected to win the election but is there any viable alternative to him at this point especially since he is the going to be the united russia candidate and united russia is the ruling party well

i don't really see a viable other oppose a position leader coming out but you know first of all there's usually only one most of the. most popular leader that's ruling or just expected to win. putting himself came out of nowhere and he was a kind of a dark horse when he just came out poor so nobody would expect him to be a popular leader so i don't know if it's something so if there is a proper p.r. campaign maybe somebody comes out. probably with a situation around prokhorov making american of at least a candidate not that he would win. at least he could have come out i don't think any other party probably apart from because it's. probably probably for you can come out with a proper candidate but otherwise i think you know there's no either viable

candidate but. so he would likely to be to win but you never know who can come out next time. putin did help the russian economy get back on its feet during the turbulence of the ninety's but there's still a long ways to go in terms of progress do you see more reforms under another term for putin as president putin came out with their made major slogan stability now it's not time we still need to preserve stability but we more need innovation something better was coming out with so it will depend on how eager or able to push for innovation merging ization at the same time preserving stability. because now it's a rather difficult time all over the world with their continuing crisis in the euro zone we're still uncertain is even in the emerging economies so since putin is popular and he has a strong hand upper hand in the country he might have. he has. but

. can just hope he i'm sure he will try to do it because there are lots of talk about him being a for twelve years for next winter and so if he wants to be for then. tutorial recently in power of course he has to make some progress over the next six years and in terms of president medvedev during his administration there was a real reset in relations between russia and the u.s. do you think that's going to be continued under president putin or what do you think if putin becomes president that there will be a new status of the relationship between russia and us i don't see that coming back to power will will cause us to tell made between russia and the united states of america as i told earlier putin was made by i didn't i think it was biden is still there have more not a must in mind but still the initiator of the biggest initiatives in foreign relations because he understands much more in it than

a part of the president obama himself so i think this would continue there were several continuing. protein will i doubt the obama will adopt the i didn't see any negative signs on the part of but it would create an obama not exception putting as a partner in the for the reset relations search all right thank you very much for tory up and over from moscow state university of international relations thank you for joining us. stay with us here on our t. lots more to come in the program including p. spy veto washington is accused of being u.n. member states to delay the palestinian statehood bid as a security council gathers to discuss the issue plus. the area curfews to you know the whole shebang down facebook social network sites. to know about the control you'll see who emerges. historic measure changes in the u.k. is the home office and police impose of ban on march or. but first euro zone

leaders are preparing a rescue plan to prevent the escalation of the financial turmoil threatening to send the global economy back into recession this comes as the i.m.f. has warned it may not be able to help out bigger european economies struggled struggling to tackle their debt with a greek default now widely considered just a matter of time a priority is to prevent bigger states such as italy and spain from being dragged down greece has been hit by another wave of public protests against government austerity measures but a guy needs to be on reports the i.m.f. is accused of being too tough on some countries while being too soft on others including the us where the two thousand and eight prices they get. the leadership has changed but the methods have not for a desperate economy the i.m.f. still offers the same bitter medicine of draconian budget belt tightening reeses push to redouble its austerity efforts at a time of deep economic recession and to sell a vast chunk of public assets at fire sale prices some of new choice but to cut the

deficit know the i.m.f. form a hand domenic strauss kahn said that forcing greece to pay back its debts would unacceptably impoverished the country and that everyone must be willing to accept losses some debt could feel as their p.c. has never been the i.m.f. strongpoint it's an institution where my main shareholder is the united states of america well any dollar any euro that is invested in the fund goes but. to the member principal and interest we're not in the business obsess of subsidies we're not in the business of giving grants the us and europe are holding the most votes in the organization and veto power despite the fact that emerging economies have been the engine of global growth in recent years the organisation's policy making it's been under fire for being biased in favor of its top shareholders one of the functions of the i.m.f. is crisis warning in prevention but when three years ago the financial crisis in

the u.s. was sending devastating shock waves throughout the world the organization proved completely we've done that in the case of united states in a much stronger position warning about the bill to. complete. and it will be able to monitor the rich at. eight as well as. it will that it will it some experts see the intimacy between the i.m.f. and u.s. corporations as a matter of concern to all of the big decisions that are made by the u.s. treasury department well even the head of the world bank has accused the top advanced economies of hypocrisy in their policies when countries with large fiscal deficits preach fiscal discipline the poor countries what are they really saying he would i say not what i do when countries pay homage to free trade but hold back developing countries with barriers what do they really say you would i say not what

i do a do what i say not what i do world will fracture to the detriment of all. they always here must change with the i.m.f. what is members themselves facing their own problems any doubt whether the organisation will be able to take adequate measures to work out of the other price it's as well lending money for the world weaker economies the i.m.f. is still facing the challenge of offering viable for things that did not come with rippling effects the one thing is clear the world demands an i.m.f. that does not work solely for the benefit of the few i'm going to check out with forty four what i think. we spoke with that russia's buy is going to sterilize a coder and he says in order to tackle the economic crisis countries in the west have to deal with what provoked it in the first place their consumption for a new start earlier coming your way in about twenty minutes is

a pretty. good. story western countries are vital has become somewhat outdated and huge consumption on little investments and savings have provoked this crisis at this point most western countries are not ready to reduce their consumption and preserve the pre-crisis development passion this does not let them emerge from crisis on their consumption is not substantiated really economic results because consumption is pulling them into debt so western countries have this issue and they're trying to resolve it by printing money which only delays the solution we can't you know predict will be economic point of view of this printing of money and supporting an artificial demand will help kick start the engine of the western economy so far this has not yet happened after all what the federal reserve system must own now we can see the situation has become worse as those measures have not been enough and one cannot have the printing of money will resume.

the latest coverage of the turbulent financial situation around the globe be found at our web site r t v dot com here's what's online right now watch videos of protest the occupy wall street that have been seen in lower manhattan a movement that has some champney championing it as the u.s. approval of an arab spring plus. a finnish pastor suspended by his tears for speaking out against one of the world's most wanted terrorists read all about it r.t. dot com. following a statehood bid at the u.n. is beginning to dampen as a security council prepares to discuss the case later today the palestinian authority has given the un two weeks to decide on the issue after accusations

washington was intimidating member states to bog debate down in bureaucracy the shadow of a promised us veto hangs heavy over proceedings president obama vowed to prevent the recognition of any free palestinian state without the approval of israel who would love body a member of the west bank's fatah movement says negotiations are impossible if one side has no interest in heats up. we have now the experience of the last nineteen twenty years that there is there a these are not serious in the go shooting with the previous three years they want to talk and build settlements they want to go she goes and carry on the perfectly clean scene in jerusalem and elsewhere peace can only come through mutual understanding between both sides between the israelis and between the palestinians but the united states is also an important element because the tail of the washington axis is blocking the peace process in the region lushington should stop

its double standard policies it should also stop financing is a on all levels equipping is there with the most sophisticated weapons but is the unions are really fed up they have been suffering for the last six they king and more they want finally these and that's why we are looking for palestinian statehood we are looking to establish a palestinian independence state alongside is a where both peoples can live in peace and harmony together. events at the un i've seen a torrent of criticism on the us with many using washington and new heights of pandering to israeli interests that as a new report has emerged claiming president obama transfer fifty five high take a bunker buster bombs to israel only months into his trauma the office something even the bush administration had refused to do but i know according to author and historian william blair and it's all about campaign fund it. well the u.s. has been giving israel all none of obama's her decades and decades this is nothing

new it's not based on logic i mean if you ask a rational explanation that is not what he got he is pro israel because of the money he gets in the us for his election campaigns he gets a flocking to jewish lobbies and jewish individuals that's why motivates him and that's the only rationale he hasn't have to be logical about what he does on consistency. and u.k. government has granted police are events far right groups are marching from several parts of london for thirty days scotland yard says it's applied for the ban over fears of violence and disorder planned by the english defense league earlier this month because of his or and reports its profit concerns that a dangerous precedent has been set in terms of police power and freedom of expression. the view of workers activists baseband on marching it's clear it's an attack on the basic democratic rights of this country through

september in six areas of london anyone marching like these people to last winter is liable to be arrested and fined or even imprisoned. the ban was prompted by plans by the anti muslim english defense league seen here in luton in february to march through tower hamlets the area with the highest concentration of muslims in the country but instead of banning one march on one day the home office banned all marches in six parrots for an entire month activists richard seymour sees it why did motive once about his past doesn't necessarily mean to say that march isn't it just means that the police to stop more powers and that's a part of the wider problem but if you're restricted to a static construction the police have a right to pen you in. a restroom very easily. with small appliances or not for instance these people behind me are amongst the lucky few they still can

march just by pure accident of geography we're here in lumberton which is not one of the six baros affected by the ban but if as many fear the government extend and widen the band to take in more parts of london the scenes that you see behind me both small and large marches through london and many other cities across the country could be a thing of the past the band comes hot on the heels of widespread rioting in. many english cities in august it also coincides with the introduction of government austerity measures which some say amounts to the dismantling of the entire welfare state many say public fear of civil unrest is being manipulated to prevent unions from turning out to protest fierce cuts and patrick o'regan from the workers revolutionary party says it's just the tip of the iceberg to the for that area. to talk about shutting down facebook social network sites we're talking about it or

your civil war measures because what they're doing in britain is creating a historic change inevitably. the majority of the population will oppose them the home office can only stop marching it's powerless to prevent people from gathering but workers' organizations argue it's no good just standing there you've got to be able to march to make a statement as the unions did in march when more than a quarter of a million people turned out to protest because activists say that's exactly what the government's trying to stop just in terms of where we are at the moment in this country with across as a stereotypical pushed through by the government trade unions are one of the immutable opposed no public order legislation does tend to construction workers i mean that's been very clear i mean there's been some recent examples of that all of picket lines and not obviously we can see any resistance to. freedom of expression

and dissociation in shrines in u.k. and european law with the u.k. renowned for its powerful union organizations but the ban gives police the ultimate power to step in and arrest demonstrators merely for exercising their right to speak out against the government and that's a dangerous precedent to set a bit arty london. take a look now at some other stories making headlines across the globe libya's ruling national transitional council is reportedly struggling to form a new interim government as fighting continues near the city of sirte still loyal to the fall of leader moammar gadhafi the ongoing civil war has been the lives of an estimated thirty thousand people so far meanwhile the capital tripoli a mass grave was uncovered containing the remains of almost thirteen hundred bodies believed to be the remains of a warning to the inmates of gadhafi is top security prison abu salim which was the site of

and the my six opened on monday morning and tell you that they're both down by over three percent already they had been hoping to make back some of those losses that they were had inflicted upon the last week though the reason that they lost so badly last week was due to number of factors including the. well a not very sunny outlook posted by the u.s. federal reserve when it came to potential growth also economic factors in europe as well though it's not honest saying it's not unusual for russia to see this type of a drop when you look at the global situation it is an emerging market major markets the first place is the best look to take their money out of what is interesting though is that russia which is harder than most other emerging markets are looking at places like india or brazil here though there have been warnings that due to russia's reliance on the price of oil and on oil exports that it does make the

russian economy vulnerable should the price of oil look should the price of oil drop off that we could see further losses all your shit markets here. ok thanks very much for that update ok and now let's look at the figures here in moscow we see the r.t.s. dropped over three percent in the first minutes of trading and isaacs is down over two percent now energy and banking stocks are so far losing over a percent now in asia stocks are trading lower as well with tokyo stock taking a large head after three day weekends nikkei struck in two percent this hour catching up with heavy losses in asia friday. losers mitsubishi shutting over eight percent of sony losing four percent hong kong shares are also losing ground with tanks and down one point eight percent. and oil is trading near the lowest in more than six weeks investors are speculating that europe sovereign debt crisis will cut fuel demands and that apple supplies land is trading at. one hundred three dollars

a barrel guys losing seven cents and it's trading at seventy nine dollars a barrel. i thought other stories ukraine says it has achieved significant progress in natural gas talks with russia president between unocal which met russian leaders late saturday to discuss the terms of castro thoughts now the parties agreed to hold an interim government meeting craning told work crane claims it is paying too much under the current gas like the old and last to change the terms russia says it's fair to provide a discount but you know once a stake in ukraine's pipeline might work. on the national energy security fund billings it's a simple solution for here. we must solve the problem or. who will be the purpose of the problem will be the proper it will display plan in my opinion is the most realistic way to give russia at least fifty percent in this pipeline system and russia will give serious discount because it's not useful position knew they

would emerge in august when the gas price in ukraine would be the same as in russia now the price in russia every price is approximately one hundred twenty dollars so three times cheaper than you cream me so very simple solution but if you crean. will be disagree with this proposal if you really will still insist on discount without solving the problem of the pipeline system so it is very simple if you green doesn't want to give proper due on purpose is them soon ukraine will feel no other choice but to give property when all you call new york is country so all the choice is very simple. that's our business that for this hour bring you more market updates and the next also coming up.

in the the looming .
