on with a greece and leaves the power to govern themselves. and business tsotsi russia's largest grid company. style to trade against global default three of suits on the love of stock exchange more of this. very warm welcome to you this is all live from moscow president dmitri medvedev says a far investigation into sunday's parliamentary election is needed but called the rallies that follow a sign of democracy it comes as russia's prime minister called for dialogue with the opposition but want foreign powers against meddling in the country's political affairs so let's have more on this from the he's in moscow for us. to take us through what's been said. well president dmitri medvedev has called for calm in

russia saying that the newly elected duma should the elected parliament should be allowed to get about its work now he did say that the official election result could be delayed the announcement of that result could be delayed in order to allow a full investigation to look into all of the accusations of vote tampering that have been leveled there now he did say that these protests and demonstrations are a sign of democracy they're all part of the democratic process but he did warn those protesters that they must remain within the letter of the last. mission the central election commission could decide the final results of the election can be confirmed now i can put it for some reason it needs more time than it has a right to postpone it you know has to be based on facts in our election law but those i believe the questions that are being asked now about the election results in the national employer lay sions have a right to exist they have to be carefully investigated least that's what the

central election commission is for but that's what the cool too for there are no other investigation procedures. we're talking about the post-election situation there are people who are disappointed we want to believe on to story into it it will show well there is nothing extraordinary in this the there's nothing used ordinary in the rallies that we have seen because rallies are a sign of democracy is that those numbers get or the president made here of there echoing words that we heard earlier from prime minister vladimir putin he said that he was open to again to entering into talks with opposition leaders and said that the protesters have a constitutional right to demonstrate that they must remain with they must respect the law now mr putin also addressed u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton after her comments that the of the elections in russia weren't a fair ball free now he said that hillary clinton had. made these comments as a

a signal to the opposition without having heard the reports from international observers who'd been watching the parliamentary elections here in russia now. mr putin went on to say that russia welcomes international observers to come and look at their electoral system but said that they would not tolerate outside interference in russia's political life. but pressure which to our partners shake us from time to time so that we don't forget who owns this planet so that we know they have methods of pressure and influence on our country from within but when it comes to humanitarian or health issues that's one thing but when foreign money is being invested into internal political affairs that should make us think what's especially on acceptable but the flow of foreign money into the electoral process it's absolutely unacceptable even with the strong words there from peter now we've seen a pro and anti government demonstrations taking place on the streets of moscow was

the situation that he might now. well here on thursday the streets of moscow and other cities around russia quiet on wednesday we did see some small scale protests in the center of moscow as well as some in st petersburg and we are expecting a larger protest to take place both pro and pro government and those who oppose the electoral votes from sunday that's expected to take place over the weekend all right here's how many counts that are played housing peter all of the live process from downtown moscow. about the situation with the pro and anti government protests here in russia and this is how one american channel patrol was handling. america has its fair share of protests and political dissent to be dealing with instead of keeping an eye on the ball the country's mass media machine has turned to protests in russia and dropped the ball on reporting the facts. the

protesters have gathered at moscow's lashing out against prime minister vladimir putin and his real united russia party the only problem is that this video is not from russia fox news channel aired a video of fires and chaos in athens convincing viewers that this mayhem is playing out in moscow the fair and balanced network paid no mind to the greek lettering in the background in case you're wondering it says greek national bank what matters is that this is what moscow protests have looked like it's not surprising whatsoever that at the moment that there would be any kind of protest no matter how small it be in russia against the russian government that it would be greatly exaggerated in media and used by the u.s. government as well as a way to try to somehow push for a change in russia that would be more favorable to u.s. interests journalist and author eva golinger believes mass media is washington's

most valuable weapon in encouraging revolt elsewhere under the mantle of spreading democracy such as the so-called orange revolution in ukraine. or rose revolution in georgia. a perception is created that something is happening in the country that's not right and that the government is somehow responsible and so therefore if that government ends up being removed it somehow is justified that you know the media has played a key role in creating a justification for regime change similar anti-government demonstrators have been reported and others in russia u.s. leaders have leveled harsh criticism against russia in the aftermath of sunday's parliamentary election and critics say it's free press has worked. to reinforce the narrative the media tends to march in lock step with the government tends to take its cues from the government it tends to you know mobilize its resources to showcase what the government says is true even when later it turns out not to be

true as was the case in this roominess c.n.n. report well in eastern russia more than three thousand people protested against proposed changes to the country's time zones the video shown by c.n.n. is not of protesters but rather of soccer fans writing in moscow all over the killing of a fellow supporter the problem is that we showed the wrong pictures only after the error was repeatedly noticed c.n.n. owned up to its mistake i do apologize for the era and a great many russian viewers who have pointed out the sloppiness of it or is reflecting you know the left of awareness of the journalists themselves many of them are completely uninformed about the world they have opinions that have no factual basis to him but it doesn't stop them because it's what looks good that matters more than what really is true the truth is that america has its own social economic and political challenges to be dealing with and while washington works on

getting its own house in order powerful mass media outlets can work on getting their facts straight marina port nine or r.t. new york now natives are refusing to take more security concerns into account and isn't ready for a serious corporation want to mysel shield in europe so you says russia's foreign minister who met his counterparts of the u.s. led alliance headquarters artie's test all syria is in brussels for a. long and serious talks extended for an hour in a closed door meeting and at the end of it both both sides gave their points of view and when the foreign minister said. that he doesn't think nato is ready for a dialogue with russia on fundamental issues with that he's referring to the missile defense system in europe and he said that when nato advice russia for talks he gets a feeling that they come into these talks with already a mind made up their mind on the kind of pursuit that they will have so in fact no

dialogue is possible however on the other hand secretary general of nato has said that they have listened to russia's side of course that is still not how russia feels now all of this uncertainty with no legally binding guarantees on the missile defense system that it is not targeting russia it's all verbal russia has beefed up its defense capabilities especially on its western border and russia it also said that it may be forced to deploy modern weapons systems if again they don't get this kind of on paper guarantees that they are asking for sergey lavrov and reiterated that nato should respect russia's right to protect its territory and how to explain that of course russia would be afraid because or would have that concern because if nato radars are positioned so it is such a way that most of russian territory is visible then of course russia would have to do something about it but it has to be noted though that when both sides were giving their take they were calling each other partners and they still hope that

some sort of agreement will be reached. that hopefully a political agreement will be reached before the end may two thousand and twelve summit where nato will unveil its provisional structure and operational correct your mistakes of that missile defense shield certainly very important to have an agreement with russia on that point. so larry this hour by washington strike the heart of the mafia and up to seventy protesters arrested in the u.s. capitol in the latest government attempt to break up the ads corporately across america. and fierce competition among indian universities for some of the country's cries of young kids to look for foreign fall but. it's the latest day of reckoning for the single currency is europe's leaders gather in brussels for a key two day summit that will decide the region's future germany and france are pushing for a new e.u.

treaties to bind the nations the too close to its fiscal union with its own taxes and penalties however not only euro zone states the more it is to move the isolated effect of increasing its two speed europe the u.k. is guarding its own national interests a sign anything that will harm its financial sector meanwhile the european central bank has once again cut its boring rates to boost the economy even as ratings a giant standard and poor's has now put the hole in the all alert warning all twenty seven member states are facing a downgrade financial analyst johan bollen over bell says if leaders fail to reach a solution in brussels the year is basically finished. by the weekend there is no agreement on how we should go forward or do agreements are very very good or not detailed enough the markets willing to interbreed that kind of result was more or less the end of the road for the euro and at that point in time we will

have a real existential crisis of the eurozone which means that in a very short period of time also germany will come under pressure the big question is whether we will have automatic sanctions when countries are more following the rules in order to save the euro you need to. these all these member countries and eventually all the european member countries to be prepared to give in on some aspects of national sovereignty that is the basic question that is running through every step question that is being put on the table and the answer to the question of whether one is prepared to give up on national sovereignty seems to be a quite clear no. one of the proposed powers many don't want brussels to have to impose austerity measures on bailed out countries people in southern europe would likely suffer the most from that in spain many young people are already

seeking a better life and opportunities abroad as arsons. reports. it starts off as a simple to abroad for example to peru or argentina or elsewhere but once they get their names spaniards realize there are a lot more parties for them outside spain and for them latin american and some european countries present a modern day eldorado more than one and a half million spaniards presently reside outside of spain according to the latest statistics a lot of them left in the last couple of years like mary jo a journalist from madrid who moved to argentina two years ago like a moment already then people were losing jobs over my university friends either fired or looking for something new or watch their salaries being encouraged this is she sure was bad then now more than a year later it's worse it's more than twenty four percent spain's unemployment rate is one of the highest in the eurozone being a monthly mortgage bill is a challenge for many evictions have become an unfortunate but familiar sight no

wonder many are starting to look for a way out of what seems to be a hopeless situation now people are taking a very bleak view of the medium and long term future and a lot of spaniards all looking at moving abroad and unfortunately for spain they seem to be precisely the kind of people who should be staying very well educated on your say under the age of forty or thirty five or so people who speak maybe two or three languages they might have a master's degree or even a doctorate and those kind of people don't see a future for themselves in spain naturally if there are no jobs in spain people have to go elsewhere be that europe latin america in fact this issue asian in spain seems to be so desperate that even those who immigrated here several years. to go like we go indoors i know also packing their bags and heading back home. the catch twenty two is that spanish citizens also cannot find a job so they get the per friends to say nothing of the immigrant workers. for many

years we had a positive migration flow that is more people are coming in now it's negative each family may list their own reasons for leaving but i believe the economic crisis which is the main reason. at the recent general elections saw the demise of the leftist socialist party who made way for the right wing people's party but the main economists agree no matter who is in charge they will have to follow the thorny path of implementing more measures meaning the bright young things disparate for a job continue to seek opportunity elsewhere it is. madrid one of the us is also evidence of americans leaving their country in record numbers that story among many others is on like you right now to talk politics have told website to find out why this april the prosperity is no longer a dream gainsborough the six that many assists. and also online play while the guns fall silent in libya for a bloody civil war we investigate why in

in washington says the beginning of this occupy movement this was all happening on k. street which is known as the lobbyist street people were protesting what they see as widespread corruption in the government authorities are pretty much cracked down on this occupy movement against corporate greed and government complicity we've seen brutal of the actions of demonstrators from their occupy locations in california and in new york police used tear gas on people pepper spray rubber bullets sound cannons keep in mind it's been largely a very peaceful movement around five thousand peaceful protesters have been arrested in the last three months across the united states probably any country doing that would be irrationally reprimanded for violating human rights but that doesn't seem to be the case when it comes to the united states going to china and some news this tiny island is genuinely us this is a two and a half years for insulting the country's royal family the man translated from

taught most indians believe that the key to success is getting a good education but with one of the fastest growing middle classes in the world more people than ever can afford a college degree meaning competition for spots at the top universities is fierce there are some schools which are just. so you know academically oriented where you know and then extreme cases there's you know there's even suicides if you know the board exams if your results aren't you know a ninety or ninety percent plus percent entrance into india's colleges and universities is based solely on the results of a high school students board examinations this year students wouldn't even be considered for delhi university's commerce program unless they scored at least one hundred percent on their exams in a twist to india's traditional brain drain where india's top talent was looking to the u.s. or europe for better opportunities now india's smartest students are exploring the last as a backup plan if their dreams of getting into an indian institution don't work out

results. at a time when the western banks stepped out from russia significantly we are actually taking that market share for next year we take a much more cautious stance. we are thinking of much more moderate long growth the longer a full bit around twenty percent. at the same time we remain pretty constructive on the profit forecast we think will generate a profit of at least the same magnitude that that this year. france's poser situation is considering setting up a second plant in russia in partnership with a carmaker already operating in the country has a spite local manufacturing cost being roughly five percent higher than in western europe the company's web but the tosses that will have to change once russia joins the world trade organization. industry costs will have to. be used to be competitive with this. region
