tens of thousands are expected at a rally in central moscow to protest the results of sunday's parliamentary poll. you are split britain becomes the odd one out rejecting a new treaty changes and forcing all the other twenty six members to come up with a separate debt crisis pact. and a last resort israeli airstrikes in gaza and the ever increasing tensions in the region drive palestinians to seek opportunities in the war torn media.

what you are coming to live from moscow with one pm here on marina joshing welcome to the program well up to thirty thousand people are expected in central moscow linger in protest at sunday's parliamentary vote russia's far east has already been heaven's already seen people demonstrating with hundreds turning out to express their anger the opposition claims the results of the election were fraudulent you know cross live to a corresponding the snow who is in central moscow is following the developments for as they are close here and he says so you know i know you are there at the side where the biggest demonstrations planned to take place later in the afternoon so tell us what you're seeing there how the protesters started arriving what's going on around you. like you said some thirty thousand people expected at this thanks in the protest for fair elections i just want to give you a look at what we're seeing not so many people arriving at it which may not be

a great idea because there are security checks and metal detectors if you take a look at the pages being fed up you can view from people who organizers have gathered there they just signed a so-called bill of rights with internal ministry officials basically pointing out what rights they had there of what the rules of this protest are you can see not very many people the park across from the riverbank here is is what is called beloved my employer said our beloved maya square and this is where this rally is going to take place so far obviously certainly not thousands of people here but it is expected that more and more people will come i as the afternoon moves on like i said this is the sanction of protest originally organizers wanted to have a protest at revolution square they have don't have permission for that but it is expected that some of the opposition and some protesters will go there out of principle. let's talk now about their demands and what isn't that the opposition is demanding. that this movement is called are really the movement for pharaoh

elections there are claims that there were vast false of occasions in the duma parliamentary elections that we had last sunday there have been protests throughout the weeks and many arrests including opposition leaders some of them were released really if you talk to the opposition though a lot of people want different things out there is this white ribbin movements a lot of people are being told to wear white to does meeting but really if you look closely the white ribbon site and you know you actually research the domain a little about what's created in the states and some of these protesters are demanding different things for some people it's really about the elections for other opposition members it's about. it's about criticizing glazier putin and his government really there's not one that's solid to manage these protests like i said . though it is officially called the movement for fair elections. now as we know the west has been critical of russian elections so what has been kremlin's reaction

to that. well first i think it's important to point out how odd the russian government has reacted to these demands of its people president medvedev pointed out that he very well supports are coming out in voicing any kind of demands that you have really talking about how it's important for people to have their voices heard of lady or putin supported that but really i was speaking of the last answer your questions more specifically russia was outraged as the as a by comments by hillary clinton pacifically that these elections were neither free nor fair they see it as a blatant violation really of the rights of russia their sovereign rights to hold elections they had observers here they claim odd that the elections were free and fair and so tom the west make these kind of comments on the global stage really has russia saying that they think that they're overstepping the line and there's actually information coming in which really supports these claims just recently we had a goal lists which is that in observing the group it's openly funded by the united

states we have the revealing of e-mails where if you look at these e-mails you can actually read observers asking how much they will be paid for every violation that they find so really it's become somewhat of a match you have the west criticizing russia for their actions russia saying look this is our country we did the best we can we had observers there some seven hundred it should be pointed out and then of course you have the media getting involved as well it was interesting to see the how the media covered it all so how have the results and protests been reported in russia and abroad for that matter. well it really depends on who you ask and what you want to show you have the west covering list as massive movements here in moscow anyone who has been in moscow the past past week can certainly. say that it's not a feeling of chaos here you have networks like fox news fox news blatantly taking video from protests in other countries they took protests that happened in athens

which clearly were much more entertaining and did show much more of a chaotic scene entitling it as protests in moscow you had c.n.n. showing video archive video of a very different kind of protest a really nasty millis after that protest that took place a year ago when a football fan was killed and promoting that as the situation in moscow now to be fair they did later file the correction but you have very different coverage of the situation coming from both sides and that of course is instigating really. destabilizing the situation in the sense because it's not really the feeling here in moscow finally he said before we let you go to observe what's happening there the protest vanier tell us who would be on main opposition leaders in russia are and how much influence do they actually have. for the most well known i think it's fair to say now you get a lot of coverage from western media is alexei nonviolently he was arrested in fact

last monday had an opposition rally so you see a lot of pictures of him being detained and he's actually being detained for fifteen days so he won't be at today's protests a lot of his supporters will be out here he's known as a really popular blogger who does have quite a following i have not really associated with any kind of party what you don't hear i said about him a lot is is is really i should say that what you do here is about his movement his anticorruption movements is what you're a lot about what you don't hear is his movement which which could be called quite nationalistic he's known to make speeches about how russia is just the russians and if you look at some of the video in fact from last saturday this of course was not shown on any kind of western media some of his statements were quite harsh he said stuff and i will go cut their throats of course refer. we're into the government so it's quite a violent hate speech kind of trend that we're seeing from him but but to be fair a lot of his work he's praised for a lot of his work in the fight against corruption in russia then you have added

more dimona this time around we haven't been hearing a lot about he's the head of the national most of the party which is banned here in russia for its extremist views expected that some of his followers will be followers that actually go to the un sanctions rally which we're hearing people will come to the revolution closely which is just not far from here and then of course there's the very well known parties numbered so who will actually whose party it be tried to get into the do molech since they didn't qualify for it is known to have very strong ties in washington he doesn't hide that in fact it's openly known that the national endowment for democracy in washington does very much support him so these are the most famous opposition leaders a lot of the protesters that you talk to here say that they're not associated with a specific political party and there were also be members from parties such as yaba big here today who claim that these elections were not free and fair as well all right aneesh thanks very much indeed for bringing us up to speed and will be

crossing back to you for more information as a damp cold thanks very much for now though. we're keeping a close eye on the developments in the russian capital on our website as well and so you can go online for the latest updates and video feed on the post-election protest also all on our team dot com you'll find analysis of the latest news and scandals that followed the election and for all of the news of the demonstrations you can log on to our new you tube channel. and. more news today violence has once again flared up. and these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. corporations rule today. on the way here in our teeth peaceful squatters targeted by bullies. there's nearly

a million buildings in there in the u.k. and people freeze to death every window down so that with we talked to some as a corporate task there is no longer the about why the law has granted them terrorists. and demonstrating for a cause why rallies are being held worldwide for the release of a man sentenced to life supporters say is nothing but a political prisoner us. the final score in brussels was twenty six to one in one of europe's most important political matches for decades britain was the odd one out as all the other states agreed a new pac designed to stabilize a year and a tam to solve the debt crisis british prime minister a veto the tams to change treaties over fears his country's national sovereignty and financial sector will be harmed by the rest of the e.u. states will now work towards

a pact to enforce rigid fiscal and budgetary controls and punishment for big spenders the new deal should be ready by march but british and paul not all things that should set struggling states marine instead of tying them to morris therapy. i think what will happen is you'll end up with a call your oh i think you'll end up with france germany and the bellows countries maybe. scandinavia but beyond that i think the euro will actually collapse if we were all good europeans what was allowed to happen is for greece and portugal and spain and italy and maybe ireland to fall out altogether devalue their own currencies second passes of xchange rates get their exports moving because that's the only way these countries can prosper outside the prison of the euro merkel is now talking about the treaty being cern's in march but let's be clear if you're going to sign a treaty you need the twenty seven member states to sign up to it now britain has said that it won't there is a legal problem which we've got ahead of us if it isn't a treaty that means that the countries who are involved in this deal will not have

access to the institutions namely the parliaments and the commission we've got a problem we've got a legal wrangle ahead of us it is undoubtedly a. anti-corporate occupy movement that layered up in the us three months ago has spread across the globe and the british capital protesters are growing in numbers while claiming commitment to nonviolence by the authorities may not make the same commitment as i read now reports. tense dreadlocks even didgeridoos but all the occupy london protesters really terrorists the city's police force seems to think so it sent a letter to banks and businesses in the financial district warning of the terror threat posed by occupy activists it puts them in the same bracket as al qaeda would say to anybody who believes it to come come here and have a look for themselves and see that we are totally peaceful protest is preposterous to say that the backlash of criticisms forced the police to admit its wording was

too strong but it stands by its warning to big businesses to remain vigilant issuing this statement we've seen crime linked to protests in recent weeks to be around groups entering office buildings and with that in mind we continue to brief key trusted partners on activity linked to protests this is the building in question occupies so-called bank of ideas activists moved in here nearly three weeks ago it had been empty for months the apparent terrorists now use it for meetings and lectures on how to solve the current crisis they can even count celebrity backers and politicians and once they get guests and excuse number of people want a different kind of economic system that's what people here stand for i want to come and lend solidarity to that the u.k. is complicated laws on squatting mean the owners still haven't been able to pick their new uninvited tenants since the building wasn't in use the activists don't see why they should leave is it fair though to occupy private property. is it fair

that there's nearly a million buildings empty out there in the u.k. and people freeze to death every winter i would counter that with so far this is the only building processed his have occupied it belongs c.b.s. it was empty before it was taken over as the swiss banks the conviction order for this building beefing up security at its main offices just across the street as they fear the protesters could spread both u.b.s. and the financial services authority refused to comment but they clearly heeding police advice security is tight in the money district. a small group of people recently stormed the offices of a mining company during a national strike they claimed to be part of the occupy movement those here though deny any links but that hasn't stopped police tarring them with the same brush it's just unfortunate that some people are actually done that and it's causing police attention. it's going to label us as people will you will get

a few down here in any organisation and they said well look there will likely not mean it's just not true the original occupy camp hopes to keep its protest peaceful a victim anyone using its name as an excuse for violence they might not be al-qaeda but any minority prepared to step the wrong side of the law could play straight into police hands are the bennetts london demonstrations have been held in cities worldwide calling for the release of wild of america's most famous prisoners. was incarcerated thirty years ago for killing a white police officer a crime his still denies the convict wasn't death row until this week when a court commuted the sentence to life in prison his supporters claim a former black panther movement member is an innocent political prisoner activist my far all says deserves a fair trial which he apparently never got. it is like many other cases

in the united states. race where race entered into the prosecution where there are serious questions about the not only the efficacy but the effectiveness and fairness of the trial the elimination of the death penalty in momi case it's really only one step and i hope it doesn't mean that now he's going to be consigned to a life without parole and everybody's going to walk away and say ok we won because in fact justice has not been served in this case it's on the record now that the judge was biased racially biased it's on the record that the. police corruption in in the philadelphia police force involved the suborning of perjury and the actual extortion to get witnesses to perjure themselves this trial was corrupt from the beginning and that's why amnesty and human rights watch and so many other organizations say justice must be done and say that you've got to start with

a fair trial. israeli airstrikes in gaza are continuing ratcheting up tensions in the region even further and killing four people since thursday the most recent happened early saturday morning when the israeli air force struck targets in gaza it's unknown whether there have been any casualties dozens including several children and one infant have been awarded. the gap it's one of the major reasons alongside a massive unemployment rate that palestinians are fleeing elsewhere to find work and new wife as artie's policy or explains even a country fresh from a bloody civil war is seen as a land of opportunity. here is where gaza's dispersed and unemployed gather thousands who are hoping that the war in libya can offer them a response from the hardships of war on their doorstep. we don't have any source of income prisoners are in better conditions in us that's why people want to run away from here. the queues here are long and full of hope all of the sudden i'm happy to

black friday the biggest day of discount shopping in the u.s. may be over but sales are continuing in the run up to the christmas holidays so our own residence in the big apple or harvest went to ask people in new york why we're obsessed with buying stuff. there's no doubt we live in a consumerist world are you sick of it this week let's talk about that it's christmas time. i think it's normal. to to buy something why is it normal to buy so much more stuff just because it's jesus's birthday. good question there's no thanksgiving it's black friday so i think that's sort of a real cultural shift you know what does it say about us as a culture that when we're so obsessed with buying stuff. that we need to get a life i think it's because the human nature has a longing for something and they've decided to fill it with things instead of

a spiritual focus to those things get in the way of our spiritual quest i absolutely believe so because i think distraction is one of the keys to getting humanity off focus it isn't important anymore so you have it you feel good and then and there you are looking for something else yes and then you feel bad because you bought something that you didn't need yeah this is happened way before you were born that's how it is yeah times with additional money was made to train the volume with the manner of. buying trading making selling is the way to make a living so we're prehistoric caves covered in neon lights with logos plastered all around us they are right now around us but the technology was available sure would be i believe in recycling i believe in you know not consumerism but go to your local salvation army exchange what does it say about our culture that we are so

disposable. that we are exactly that we're looking at life in a really shallow way how do you think history is going to remember this to how i am and age is consumerism going to be a part of that yes no look it's very wasteful because i'm i live in france and my family very careful with their money my family and. they think twice about buying stuff so i listen to them it does make you more careful but i'm afraid i'm consumed with. your god when the time that i've been it's. whether or not your sick of the pressure of our consumerist culture the bottom line is when it comes to buying stuff you don't need maybe it's best to just. say no. bring here today's headlines in just a few moments. wealthy
