thousand people at its highest point throughout the day some of the opposition speakers today claiming there was hundreds of hundred or one hundred fifty thousand people here clearly that's not the case earlier in the day some protesters did meet at revolution square which was what organizers wanted the original location to be there was no permit for that but a lot of those thousands did peacefully make their way to below to my square which is where the protest took place and moscow wasn't the only city which saw protests they began out east in vladivostok took place across central russia and in st petersburg as well there came out we do know that there were minor scuffles with police and that there were ten arrests but here in moscow that was certainly not the case very peaceful and it seems a lot of the organizers are very happy with that in terms of these protests they of course began and they're calling for free and fair elections on monday when it was clear what the results were that happened on tuesday as well there were several

arrests this of course has been the biggest and from the government what we heard was from the president from the prime minister that people of course have the right to come out and voice their opinions and make demands if it stays out within the law what we heard in terms of what we heard was a little harder criticism from prime minister of a dimmer putin about outside comments about russia's election specifically speaking about secretary of state hillary clinton and her comments that elections in russia were neither free or fair and some interesting developments have come out which really do back up the prime minister's statements our goalless which is an organization that monitored some of this election. e-mails came out from life news and it you can go on to their web site and actually see some of these communications that happen. between the u.s. state department and goal is to observe this election and there you have some of the observers asking how much they would be paid for each violation that they found with that said the central election committee did say that there were minor

violations they did up hold the outcome of the vote but did say that they would launch some kind of investigation but you clearly have back and forth between the west and russia about these elections prime minister vladimir putin has made it very clear that he believes that certainly the secretary of state has stepped over a line and you also have the media covering it in very different ways we saw fox news showing videos of athens greece which of course has had protests all year long maybe more entertaining certainly painting a better picture of chaos but most certainly not moscow as you can see clearly the greek alphabet and palm trees in those shots you had c.n.n. showing pictures of a nationalist rally which took place a year ago they to be fair did later file a correction on that but a very different picture painted by western media as to what was happening in moscow this week it certainly wasn't chaotic and this was the first day that we saw tens of thousands of people come out onto the streets in terms of the opposition and there was leaders who was organizing these protests well there are

a lot of different faces some of them not even connected to political parties but those that are most well known are probably bodies themselves who has been in russian politics for years he was a former deputy prime minister and he openly is known to be supported by washington's national in downman for democracy and he was at these protests today he was detained actually earlier this week and another i think it's fair to say up and coming star is alexei love on a he is a blogger very well known here in russia not so much in the west he was detained and will say detained for fifteen days so he didn't come to this rally a lot of his supporters were here what you don't hear a lot about him is about his nationalist mind you hear a lot about his anti-corruption work but you don't hear about his speeches about russia's for russia and so on but if you lou. the bit closer you can see in some of his speeches that he made earlier this week at protests there were some statements that could easily be clear be classified as hate speech one of his quotes was i

will cut their throats so really some of the people that came out today don't necessarily associate themselves with a political party they came out for free and fair elections but a lot of different parties here today and a lot of different faces of opposition reporting from moscow and he's now a. russia's electoral results have been criticized by washington with prime minister putin calling on western governments not to interfere with the country's internal affairs meanwhile the head of the state duma foreign affairs committee constantine cosa jobs says slamming russia is in the u.s. political interests. i was very much surprised to see the recent comments by hillary clinton and these comments. very much out of the framework which was drafted in the preliminary conclusion by parliamentary assembly and all we see in the parliamentary assembly of the council of europe which was issued the next day after the elections the conclusions are not fair and they believe that

these conclusions by hillary clinton are not free from the political interests of the united states of america because the united states of america are in a competition with russia on very many important issues and this is great that if and when you can create additional problems for your interlocutor for your partner at the negotiation table then it may be easier for you to reach your own goals so for me the statement by hillary clinton some other statements by by the european union by nato by other representatives in the west is just a part of the game this is not about democracy in russia this is not about elections in russia this is about jus policy this is about making russia a little bit weaker and more in order to make yourself a little bit stronger and this is absolutely unacceptable. dot com for more analysis and insight on the story and there you'll find something else

to say to anybody who believes it to come come here and have a look for themselves and see that we are totally peaceful protests it's preposterous to say that the backlash of criticisms force 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 once they get guests i think a huge number of people want to see a different kind of economic system that's what people here stand for and 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 a fair point 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 process to have occupied it belong c.b.s. it was empty before it was taken over as the swiss banks the conviction would have 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 griffy used 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 claim 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 because in police attention. it's going to label us as people will be able to get a few down. in the organisation and they said well look there will be like you are known and it's just not true that 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 while the occupy camp in the u.k. capital is standing activists in the u.s. city of boston have seen their tents taken down police swept through the square where occupiers were camping taking down tents and arresting activists the city set a deadline for the protesters to leave by midnight thursday but police took no action until today boston's been the latest encampment evicted as demonstrators are told they must leave their camps now or face prosecution

a few shopping weeks left till christmas holidays cash registers around the world are ringing to the sound of sales but should shopping be the true spirit of the season artie's laurie harf in a star on resident in new york asks if what we're buying is really what we need. 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 so i think it's normal. to to buy something you know 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 here 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 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 our focus it is it's an important anymore so you have it you feel good and and the your are looking for something else yet 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 it was made to train the volume was traced with the fact the man was. 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 the technology was available you thought you 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 just posable. that we are exactly that we're looking at life in a really shallow way how do you think history is going to remember at this time and age as consumers i'm going to be a part of that yes no look right way sport because. i'm i live in france and my family are very careful with their money my family you know they think twice about buying stuff so i listen to that it does make me more careful but i'm afraid i'm consumed with the book i got out in the time that i've been it's i was there whether or not your stick up 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 . we're back with adeline's in a few moments stay with us here on r.t. .
