lloyd's initial of the themes you saw expect a rise of national or able reach shoes sooner than anything else from the restoration of this ministry because when you appoint a bureaucrats to settle any problem that means that you will you will have the process of maximization of this problem because bureaucrats will have something to do so so so according to to your mood at least i don't think you believe that this this body whatever is going to be may solve the problem of migration of migrants are very i am afraid said these body would sharpens this problem and the can make all reasons could convey this problem into a real problem to zoe if multiculturalism may not work this is doomed to fail you see the myths about the reason you can. take all cultures in as a policy can work also but you shoot the girl and the target and second lesions how z's identity is that mismatch of multicultural a need to be can work because when you propose to see us it isn't any identity for
8:49 am
example russian ideating citizen id did that means if you propose contract that you find in duty you fools the rules in you will get z.z.z. senseis so no corporate conduct proposed here so as there is no reason why it should be called myself russian and why i should call myself any other nations because you know no policy in the forums and indeed it you know well i think that the fundamental problem that russia faces in its development with regard to the regions of the country is of course connected to russia strength its huge territory . you see the periphery of russia the far north the far east the far west kaliningrad in the the south these areas are marginalized and there is this real over concentration of power in the center in moscow and this process was accelerated perhaps during putin's tenure thirst ten year tenure because he wanted to keep. the country together but now i think there's
8:50 am
a growing realisation that this process has gone too far and we need to have more more decentralization how that works is very difficult in other allied input in this article the ring a bell for my generation of people who remember the soviet times especially my parents who remember the old of the old carmen is the real communist and the stalin times is and i quote the mystic migration has been growing in this country people travel to other constituent turned trees of the federation world to big cities to study to live and to work and they have this and they are food citizens of russian federation but we have to toughen registration rules and the penalties for breaching these rules and quote well that surely does ring a bell fact we put in is preparing a toughening of the so called preppies car the the binding people to the place of residence while this didn't work this was practically abolished twenty years ago
8:51 am
now are we getting back what were do i misunderstand something i saw his policy of protections the ethnic russians saw as it is well i think this is a matter to do self and visa mess for yourselves i meet my cross especially of the migrants of ethnic groups like muslim groups like asia groups like chinese that are now are coming into russian territory well i will always be another think russian big but this perhaps the ethnic russians were never happy with it even if it were when it was very young because if it discriminates against muscovites everybody else if you are non if you are non muscovite and of course as we all know it's easy to buy your property sca didn't you know it's not something that actually works properly it's it only works through a system of bribery when you use a p.c. in english oprah pisco is like vodka and my trash bag is one of the words understood worldwide is a true. maybe you know i think i think maybe for maybe maybe for foreigners who
8:52 am
live in russia this is one of the key words that we come to understand as part of the system but i just i just think it's an outdated system here we are twenty first century russia in my view has to meet the challenge from the east this is the big challenge russia has to develop the far east of its territory economically because if russia does not then the chinese will come over and do it for them as a foreigner living in russia what do you expect from the proposed new set of rules and changes proposed by a lot of reputed because these ridges three shoes they're always annoying they were annoying for me when i wouldn't know there was a going to leave so what do you expect after you read this article i do think they're going to change a few foreigners for the west for the worse off for the better right i said i think that in general the russian government tries not to do too much to antagonize let's
8:53 am
let's call them the western specialists who come here they try to make life reasonably comfortable they want more investment yes they want to attract people to it it's never it's never that comfortable but i think that these small inconvenience that that westerners face is nothing compared to the inconvenience that the russians and. russian citizens and citizens from the former c.e.o.'s face another very interesting thing in a very popular thing is that put it wants to impose a set of exams for foreigners residing in russia let's hear it. from next year migrants must be required to pass a russian language caste russian history and literature under tasks in the russian system steed and russian were to give permission to reside like other developed countries russia is able to provide migrants with the relevant classes through professional training be required in a number of cases and you are it's. you we both tried to talk
8:54 am
to tim in russian and we both hope he spoke better russian than he does of course but what do you think does for example at tragic who sweeping the street have to have to know i have to pass an exam in russian and russian history russian constitution which is a pretty brutal thing for russian for some russians to be good by the impression is that it means existence you will have to pay a bribe so it's quite the easier than all the maximize and bribes capacity so you're going to squeeze the corruption yet in the lower levels of your city and break this is all be just of corruption at nothing else surely as usually happens because no mechanism provided or from what ford does it that she should dump russian culture russian confusion about to sweep streets miles there is absolute knowledge and also this may be an additional burden for companies that are employing. foreigners yes i think so. i mean i think it's something that
8:55 am
should be encouraged and i would say the same about you know my country united kingdom that these so-called nationality tests. are becoming tougher and tougher and i think it's around the world now you know we're entering into an era of protectionism where jobs are scarce where people don't want foreigners coming in and so this is a way to. to kind of stem the flow do you think the brits may have the recipe may have a good advise how to tackle the problem because i am not sure that that you have sold yourself in britain but but it's not it's not as burning as in some other countries like sometimes it is burning in russia so it is their advice sure but i mean i i would say that no country has actually solve this problem all together but i i would look more i think these days the united states i know that. but i'm a person how sort of three generations it's
8:56 am
a different story american birds but at the same time it's a nice philosophy and ited states that as soon as you come across and you get your union and you and you and you get your citizenship your god does not merican and when one generation you can go to the white house running out of time to couple ways for me to well actually just replied to that remark well actually the mother believes that there are american people the support as well as well well actually at the it has its own félicie and different different policy different fellas my addiction to know what it is that probably the challenge for the whole country for your pea and coffee for is their so-called middle dinner in a cottage to which we all belong how to deal bees a current challenge and no one resigned because first time in say he story you reply it's power to integrate my grants and to kind of read some of the part of your thank you thank you thank you gentlemen just to the mind of the political

is good to have you with us here. in poland right now websites are being hijacked while thousands of internet freedom supported their marching outside . during a two pronged protest because the country's just signed up to a global web piracy pact covering everything from movies and music to fashion and pharmaceuticals but its net does stretch. is in warsaw to explain all of this for. well this document called the courtesy trade agreement which has been signed by poland and many other countries other countries in fact including the united
9:02 am
states. new zealand and others is the reason why tens of thousands of people are taking to the streets in poland is the reason why most of the governmental web sites in this country have been hijacked by the hacker groups including the anonymous hacker group which is well known across the world basically this agreement is all about protecting the intellectual property including movies books pharmaceuticals designer clothes and things like that but ordinary people fear that the big corporations will use it to police the web to take regular users offline so we've seen lots of protests in poland as i mentioned in the last several days we are also seeing protests being held today in the cities of new britain and in central poland we are expecting more protests tomorrow on friday more so the problem about this document is not it was worked out in complete secrecy bypassing all governments and the general public had no access to it so that's why the
9:03 am
regular users are afraid that this document would be used against them i'll just give you a simple example for instance you create a website and you put the links to your favorite movies on this website and big corporations can in fact start a criminal case against you saying that you violate the agreement so nobody knows to what extent the corporations can go in using this document in fact misusing this document as the protesters here in poland and everywhere they protest against it certainly has some resemblance to the american soap bill which is also being discussed in the united states but the difference is that the bill is a moral american local thing the act is definitely international and it will concern all countries which sign it in we are certainly in possibly for more protests across the european continent. porting. all of the actor deal has parallels with america's anti piracy plans they were shelved last week after
9:04 am
a massive backlash including protests from internet giants like wikipedia which went on a twenty four hour blackout one tootle freedom activist who is the founder of sweden's pirate party says the laws are sure that governments are deep into the pockets of corporations i think it's an excellent example of the agreed just abuse of power by the corporate industry this legislation about putting people in jail was negotiated by corporations and our lawmakers just got it in their laugh that is not how our democratic society should work quite regardless of what this law says now what it does say of course it's all corporate interests so there's no hard yes there really if you look at how the net operates there's activists all over the place that give people back their rights the corporations take away from them and they have sort of our last hope at this point regrettably. we can really influence
9:05 am
lawmaking what people are discovering which people discovered through force with the so far and see far in the united states was that millions of people literally millions contacted congress and said we don't want this this is not what we stand for congress heard them and realize that if they follow the corporations rather than the voters then they lose their job and that's what changes policy in the end . we've got to go to turn our attention to the out of syria now where syrian troops are storming a heavily populated damascus suburb where government forces pulled out earlier this week after clashes with opposition fighters the u.n. security council could vote in the next few days on a resolution aimed at stemming the escalating conflict the draft calls on the syrian regime to comply with an arab league proposal for president assad to leave and pave the way for a unity government russia has made it clear that it will veto any u.n.
9:06 am
resolution that allows for foreign intervention or sanctions its origin in syria itself the arab league monitoring mission has resume for the first time in a week because of violence that's after the source gulf countries pull out call on the u.n. . saying they get by and heading home the observers from the gulf states leave for the airport then mission in complete leaving behind a country in a deepening crisis is never going to be easy so you want the arab league monitors to stay i don't want there first right from the word go the missions prove problematic the opposition accused the monitors of being too closely aligned with the government the government's now accused of being part of a foreign conspiracy and they were just to cool complaints to the observer seemed ill equipped on the ground and there were concerns that they were simply too few
9:07 am
numbers to undertake such a major task but if things were bad at the beginning now they seem even worse following in saudi arabia's footsteps all the gulf states withdrew their observers after damascus rejected their recent proposal that included president cede power to a deputy and a unity government was interesting that these countries is very interested in democracy and they have nothing this is the most. interesting this is something funny we'll talk about about what will have a new constitution we are going to more democratic country multi parties was about what about to do about the west's come up talk about syria which would be changed and leave saudi arabia as it is damascus says rejection was no surprise those sides of the conflict it showed equal willingness to soften their stance even when the
9:08 am
daily death toll in the country continually rising the killing of the head of the syrian arab red crescent was on the way to damascus yet you know the remind the spiraling situation. of the observers it's such a creature of a bid to the country's crisis is seen as controversial the arab league essentially has no credibility on the arab street what the arab league mission is trying to accomplish is good enough evidence concrete everything about human rights abuses on the part of the are so very seem to think so the u.n. and the evidence will be so strong that even russia and china would feel compelled to work but as of now one month after this mission started they seem to know the monitors things and i know more about what's going on the ground and they did. at the beginning and so it all looks like you know we're going back to square one as the death toll rises the proposal being floated to increase the number of observers on the ground and provide them with u.n.
9:09 am
training could be a life saving word but for now those plans have been pissed on hold in fact much of the substance of the report that graded pieces on both sides seems to have been lost in the flurry of diplomatic activity now france and britain have joined forces at the united nations to try to end president assad's rule waving goodbye to the gulf state colleagues some observers remain but it's small consolation syria didn't close the doors in front of the arab league. i think. it's diplomacy will give anyone to help them but the last decision in the hands of the syrian people not in the hands not believe the screwed council so national dialogue through these reforms despite damascus and the mission to be extended for another month and the observers officially saying that they can continue with the towed behind the scenes and the sentiment is much less optimistic. it's a gloomy outlook for the country with little regional or international agreements
9:10 am
and what action should be taken to stop the violence and putting an end to the crisis seem to be slipping further and further as a very. artsy damascus syria you with alex are you it's good to have you with us today still to come in the program davos versus the crisis. global political and economic leaders meet here at the world economic forum to tackle the eurozone crisis and also the arab spring meanwhile those who protest did activists they want their voices heard remain locked out. of fuel and a few surprises as a russian rocket heads to the international space station for the first time this year taking some of the crew cannot do without. ten minutes past the hour here the top job in the world's largest country is a highly prized position so beating your contenders requires some creative thinking those are for the russian president so you're using every avenue available to get

the message out that you couldn't get a job has been looking at the campaign's voter attracting tactics. but why does it was that you were right is that was that it was gray suits and ties and slogans cold out from the poor d m r the traditional election season fair but they're no longer considered politically. today's complaining has gone online in a hot new trend in russia. with programming and bloggers making fun of the opposition portraying them in prayer outside the u.s. embassy on sundays claiming they are connected to the us state department and the opposition filming funny cartoons about politicians made out of lego. getting information out there is becoming easier all the time but the internet is a very different medium to television while on t.v.
9:12 am
it's enough to just look into the camera like this to viewers attention not so although that to me you are police video reach millions of lines it's not a lot it just. it also has to be provoked to brazen and sometimes project a whole different image. it's no surprise then that as a character from harry porter became an overnight hit. doing his usual. i don't see what i see you stuck with some could use the word it but they're going to . make. sure that the word is which when you're critical of it when you. put a bug out there but it will just be them. but i don't confirm it's up to you about you apart from catching images memorable catch phrases are used against those in the corridors of power opposition blogger alex enough wiley was the first upload

country your beautiful girlfriend to some foreign guy what will happen to the caucasus nothing less just give it away to you responding or technical the videos made a very professional you can see that a highly paid specialist did it with good appeals to primitive responses but works one hundred percent first thought is that there is indeed no future without put but videos from the opposition are just as blatant. and out of whole a trend of this election season eavesdropping on politicians and posting recordings online or those taking part in a massive opposition rally in december were surprised to find out that one of their inspirations boris himself described them in a phone as. hear from each other of government property or for your comfort or. naive to expect from any side when we are living in election year there are no holds barred in this war not even interfering in

someone's private life but. a lack of privacy for today's politicians is already a modern day reality and with feet to make. in russians going online today about forty percent of the adult population future is predicted to be she deals with online political avatars pushing the boundaries of a virtual world without borders exceeding the grandchildren r t. and another election battle front has opened up in the united states our web site r.t. dot com is the place to find updates and opinions on that now online right now a union in a state of promises of prosperity and a quality fail to fight off the disillusionment with obama's first term felt by many americans but one opinion this voice online. also threatened with an oil embargo if you want to but we'll turn off the tap first iran is considering a plan that would leave the euro high and dry even before the new e.u.
9:16 am
sanctions come into force all that and so much more right at your fingertips at r.t. dot com. it is the second day for business decision makers and top brass politicians in switzerland efforts to keep global finance of float not forgetting to make a profit along the way fallout from the arab uprisings is inevitably a major concern of the world economic forum and so is finding a way to breathe life back into the struggling eurozone lauren lyster is in davos. today we heard from david cameron u.k. prime minister who had a apply different message than what we heard from angela merkel yesterday when she opened up davos so david cameron came out and said that number of things that he believes the euro zone needs he said they need a quick speedy resolution to greet debt issuance is and fiscal transfers and order to deal with imbalances so sounds to me like he's calling for some kind of euro bond said that there needs to be
9:17 am
a firewall big enough and said you know really right now the euro zone has none of these things now this is in contrast to angela merkel yesterday we said we're not going to pledge more bailout money even though maybe the investment community wants it we're promising you that that we believe this fiscal integration will solve the problem along with structural reforms geared towards things like creating jobs so different message from u.k. prime minister today but a couple things i thought were really interesting so he was asked about what all this means for the future of free market capitalism which is a debate going on here at davos and the emergence and rise of state capitalism and david cameron continue to tout free market capitalism and the european model as the best for freedom and democracy but one thing that came to mind is what we've seen with the technocrats installed that are now running the governments of italy and greece and pushing through these reforms that were very much dictated or influenced by germany and what germany wanted today we see the focus shift to the arab spring which obviously is a blow.
