don't. if compare with elections absolutely transparent. and moved by people themselves ok enough to know the claim by those who oppose the opposition is that if you win. elections or whatever there will be unrest in the country because because the opposition is not ready it's not united there are many tensions inside the opposition there isn't a leader ready to take responsibility and. so on and so what so why do you think that you for example personally that you do have a mandate to represent the people who gave them and you know no one to give them and do it but we have opinion polls we had. the independent opinion poll . i'm sorry but according to opinion polls i think television presenters have very high ratings but they can't represent are not inside they are not really there are

no. concrete questions about confidence to the little house. on the vigorous being politicians as not politicians i am one of them so we have some some credit of confidence from the people what you are absolutely right. we don't want to destroy the country we don't want to reward lucian we we strongly against any wild and and all actions already in moscow as you know been absolutely peaceful and absolutely safe safe for people. we guarantee safety for the people we need political reforms and we believe that political reforms democratic reforms will strengthen the russia but not make russia legal i have already mentioned the that something is already happening including something happening with your own party and your own life as the politician following the decision of the european human rights court the. the supreme court of russia ruled that the liquidation of

your republican party was illegal now what made it happen and is it is is it a sign i'll some have some bad news for my european friends and for my colleagues it's absolutely stupid story five years ago my party was liquidated despite my party was all this liberal party russia republican party of five years later i warn european court of human for human rights in strasbourg in january i won the russian supreme court decision of superior court with what was called in the european court decision that liquidation was illegal what happened after that minister of justice of russia mr kahn a while ago peeled to superior court again to liquidate my party despite two court decisions european court of appeal cook a meal that the government steal tried to stop activity of my body does that mean

that the minister of justice is breaking the law because absolutely behind it was because the ministry of justice is the executive branches and it has to abate the court the supreme court decision absolutely and he doesn't absolutely it means that he appeals yes but does he have the right to appeal they have a right but it's very strange if you have to the citizens court decisions it it's difficult to believe that european court of the supremes court of russia again it builds to two laws party he's appealing to the constitutional court not the supreme court again but it's you know it's a legal process it's a it's a difficult legal procedure well they're trying to make life after you're in a position of this is not a vote the time when one of the actions after the next elections and i can't participate elections. last five years and i again can't participate elections because minister of justice is still trying to break this is one of european court

insuperable rosen. it's a bad signal that means that russian state russian government is still. repressive really think in the political opposition well the right crissy bureaucracy is always sort of it's not just rhetoric decision it's a little this is a bit of fighting against a position as well it was last five years what do they tell you you do have contacts with with people behind the kremlin walls of course yes they do this they said to do they explain their decision it's interesting no one takes the responsibility here no one everyone says that's not me i don't know i ask another guy that's not me no one no one takes responsibility on him but who makes a decision it's a question well but what's your feeling will your party be restored by the next parliamentary election due in six years i think so yes you think you think and i hope my hope my hope is that it will be not only my party as one of my partners in

russia but worry much hope that we will be really united in strong liberal party is that it will be if it will be united liberal party it could take twenty twenty five thirty percent of government actions and be one of the biggest political parties and here you are optimistic yes this is the i don't give you stick not because of power not about not because of the mr because of i see russian society has changed for the last ten years and the russian society now designer is totally different with the ninety's in the ninety's it was who're. and very split a decided this is almost without middle class now it's my much more prosperous society with massive middle class and now as a historian i could say that maybe it's the first time in russian history for last thousand years when we have real social basement for democracy and these people of that race it's a signal that we have civil society demanding democracy there is an interesting

opinion pinion is that that maybe putin is. so clever that he is he wants to liberalize this legislation on party registration in order to make more small liberals and i really. make the confront and not let them unite into one big movement may that be true absolutely i think it's dear to split liberals land content small liberal parties to split the left flank on small left parties to split so-called put on twenty or thirty so-called pejorative parties but we must be smart enough not to game this player not to play this game and it is my point that we need strong united liberal party and this strong united liberal party will collect million of wards and seventy percent of people who'd

been on sorrow or be liberals according to opinion polls isn't there but there is so i was going to meet you are a historian and you've been in the studio in this capacity we talked about his history and very process with the well if we look not at american england but east european countries post to tell italian countries post to tell a terran democracies we see that in all of these countries mainly there is the new democratic party and the old socialist or communist who are opposing the russian what would also have begun upon us so maybe the future of russian democracy is either put it is partly or the or the near all communists. and there's no place feel for the liberals like you know i don't think so he's either too big you know players when i when i think about russia i think it's very much similar to poland now the czech republic to hungary so i mean that we have we have different groups

in society we have strong left left left. movement potentially communists and social democrats we have so-called nationalist and purchase out but we have real real liberal part of society as i said previously twenty twenty five maybe thirty percent and and and and drama of current russian politics is that this this segment the exit is well educated people are not represented in the political system thank you thank you very much for coming i wish you free and fair elections and the same to you wherever you are watching just to remind you that my guest today was applied in the rest of the russian opposition and that's it for now from all of us if you want to have yourself spotlight or have someone in mind who you think i shouldn't be next time to drop me a spotlight will be back with more firsthand comments on what's going on outside russia until then stay on our team and take you.

this is our news twenty four hours a day welcome to the program syria could get another chance diplomatic escape route from its continuing political crisis is going to go wrong tuesday that's a made widespread international outcry caused by clashes at the u.n. security council and swelling violence within syria let's get the details let's cross one. now tell you what's the purpose of this diplomatic trip. goal of the main goal. in syria today to stop the violence that's coming from both sides of the conflict to have them sit down at the negotiation table and talk now russian delegation headed by the country's foreign minister sergei lavrov and together with foreign intelligence chiefs because. they very message from russia's

resolutely president assad's message that's calling on for still serious democratic changes in the country and while the speculations have a those changes may include a change of regime ahead of his troops just once again that's asking. presence of certain countries to step down is not a russian profession now this comes after russia vetoed for the second time u.n. security council's resolution on syria previously russia had asked the u.n. security council not to wash with such decisions and give russians allegation a chance to visit damascus one more time to talk to president assad once more before voting on the resolution however that request was ignored which russia found quite disrespectful meanwhile the u.s. has shut down its embassy in syria and is seeking further regional and national sanctions. on syria as well as the u.k. britain has recruited its ambassador to syria as well know who had more in russia's

attempts not to allow the repetition of libyan scenario in syria here's this report by surfers. divisive on every level the syrian crisis displace opinion from the streets to the international stage the united states is disgusted that a couple members of this council continue to prevent us from fulfilling our sole purpose here this is a doomed regime as well as a murdering regime there is no way it can get its credibility back internationally or with its own people. it's when you come when you realize that you see what a mistake russia is making by backing this regime so many in the west russia's decision along with china to veto the u.n. resolution on syria is difficult to understand america's u.n. envoy described the decision to show you full and accuse the countries of

attempting to sell out the syrian people and of shielding a tyrant the right from the very beginning and russia has been very clear on its stance of the crisis in syria and in its continued calls for dialogue. alongside calls for the government to withdraw its troops from cities we wanted to demand that the armed groups also leave the cities and stop the ongoing attempts to take over residential areas our suggestions were vehemently rejected by the co-sponsors of the text it looks like these co-sponsors are more interested in simply finding somebody to blame drawing attention away from the armed groups as a receiving arms and other kinds of encouragement from abroad the west has leveled heavy criticism at moscow's continued arms trade with syria saying it's backing the as santa regime has been overlooked however is russia's continued efforts to mediate with all sides of the conflict we speak with the head a serious internal opposition the national coordinator council he met with

a russian delegation recently we asked how they viewed russia's stance and russia said they are not against the will of the syrian people that they stand with the syrian people and the legitimate demands we asked and they supported the syrian people under whatever will protect them from violence and killing otherwise their position should be considered a sttng with the regime with these tell you and russia's unwillingness to join the economic sanctions most game may have a hard time convincing the west of its neutrality of course russia much more careful. because after. be able could see is open worse than countries the nato countries doesn't want to form. a us citizen. seen it go. from the. north but not total border as they're usually on libya was. not about syrians. and as the political tit for

tat continues to play out an increasingly polarized population are watching their lives and country got to a standstill sanctions a crippling the economy and the increase in violence is rape. the death toll daily the g eight political wrangling now seems to be shattering the issues of faith each even right for the people labeling and for. a mosque continues to receive harsh remarks over its move to veto a draft resolution on syria and us being one of the most vocal and the times correspondent that they ask about this is unjustified that washington repentant docstring resolutions critical of israel i would start paraphrasing susan rice i would say that the international community is the real one not made talk and seeks a person go monitors in the g.c.c. is this just it why did travesty of repeated u.s.

vetoes in the d. un women ever the topic of israel cups so israel u.s. can veto any c. regarding your zero zero zero zero can keep but killing men and women and children palestine but obviously russia and china they cannot block a result lucian that he poses regina change in syria so what are we going to see from now want is a radicalization and that's already happening so this means. the rebels in syria the free syrian army will keep being armed and weaponized by not only got there in saudi arabia which is already happening for months not but specially by the united states the resolution is not blaming in fact unarmed action that's what can you imagine if you have a mid-size city in the united states called troll but ending suresh how do you think the response of the u.s. government would be with the e.u.

and the us are seeking to hit syria with further economic sanctions patrick hangs a political analyst with online magazine spiked to sanctions will only home the people what the president. well i think in many ways it's going to exacerbate if it does mean the dialogue gets off gets taken off the table it does mean that the west will try and intervene in other ways you know as we've seen the last few months affectively the arab league to kind of step in and to monitor and effectively become the lackeys of western interests to a certain extent so it's i think the malls or the west kind of removes itself from syria the more pressure and we're hearing with the you know our sanctions as well the more actually i think the syrian people will suffer as a result through any western intervention you will have you know the syrian people effectively having their democratic initiative taken from their hands and effectively you know you have western countries trying to give them democracy

instead which historically has been proven not to be the case but also sanctions aren't going to really affect president are sad and the kind of cronies in charge sanctions will have a direct impact upon the syrian people. well still to come on the program a soldier of good fortune us me try the nobel peace prize for allegedly uncovering wrong time and these documents to wiki leaks. could see. jail. and western economic warfare against iran tehran finds itself unable to carry out an actual transactions. these recounts in central bank. fifteen thousand more greek jobs slashed is the latest play from austerity measures adopted by athens to appease its international creditors the cuts are especially worrying given that the greek economy is in a freefall the country's hopes now rest with

a second one hundred thirty billion bailout package those relations between bankers in the government. the austerity measures and so forth and. downs get a cash. paying the interest. two years now we are living through i hear all of the measures of the accounting and measures that they are put all the burdens to the poorest the weakest members of our society and our debt you stayed off be reduced is get inflated so i don't have any hope to these new measures it is the same as if we continue to put money into our they're toast a lot of credit goes to drain our economy lead in the lead they need even more research than this massive privatization and they are pushing to ask actually they are nothing but a scheme to give up our public infrastructure infrastructure public property to foreigners and especially big german enterprises school now greece is

a kind of experiment for all european union they're just trying to impose to us or stated measures the salaries they dismantlement of the protective legislation for the workers that later they are going to try to impose to other people starting from the people in the counties of the south we do not want this continues sacrifices sacrifices without any kind of cope. well germany and france have also called for more say over greece's finances including future bailouts it was an attempt by berlin to assume control of the country's budget movie ject by the debt ridden nation that's one of the themes featured in today's kaiser report coming up next hour. what they're not taking into consideration is that all of this debt is off the balance sheet and all the end. immediately to pay off banking near and germany so germany has effectively to seize control of greece they've seized control of portugal they also be totally in control of spain and they're totally in

control of the euro zone it's all legal remember they put all that bad debt off the balance sheet you don't have interest rate risk you have political risk in the countries that are not germany germany doesn't have a political risk because they are europe. the former head of britain's m i six by agency so marco island is being sued by two dissident libyans he allegedly held to rest and deport to be done the torture is in two thousand and four they case against substance sort of discovery of letters from island to the colonel congratulating him on the return of the prisoners artie's i bet it has a story. ducted imprisoned and tortured for six years all thanks to british government help those are the claims of two former gadaffi detainees who say they were captured by m i six flown to libya in two thousand and four abdulhakim bell is

now libya's military commander along with sami el saadi he was part of the libyan islamic fighting group they're suing a former british spy chief for complicity in their torture to me the most damaging aspect is that the just how much the british were involved in even just two cases of sending senior people back to libya and then the potential damages how much they knew about the nature of gadhafi is regime and how he and his officials were torturing prisoners and that should have been obvious documents found in tripoli by human rights watch seemingly expose britain's key role in the libyans rendition within m i six counterterrorism chief mark allen pulling the strings seven he allegedly writes in one letter sent to get daffy spy chief moose's. i congratulate you on the safe arrival of our last a deep mr hard this was the least we could do for you and for libya the
