hello island welcome to all seasons special coverage following russia's presidential election make every now and i did miss it i would be against it i outside the kremlin it's now nine pm moscow tied to google the latest reaction of in-depth analysis coming your way life throughout the next few of those books are all counted a hundred percent now firming up worse than the good news heading back to countries tom johnson the leaders of china and germany have gradually peachtree momentum said the economic times since the cuteness the leaders praised the balance is clear and

clear how many of the hundreds of pounds per person he's been the most handsome man was to sleep well here in moscow the reaction to these sleaze tonight crowds of rallies the couple was chance to follow the big demonstration supported by the approaches to the pleasure show i do so unfairly you can see what you can see on the street know you go to congress i trained all the policies federal has gauging the mood of the county election protests as well obama's plan long before the votes of places cut with you first of all the role of the whole game in pushing sties where this goes along with criticism prior to the election not sure leads to another mass rally a lot of people rather earlier on the morsi attendance now and what are you seeing around you. won't really it's things are winding down here in pushkin scios what scale me pull the bus crowd. that had filled this area majority of them have now

dispersed into of going off into the night a remote scope of what i can tell you just over my shoulder net over my left shoulder that is the stage where speeches had been given now in the past few minutes we've been speaking so to some of the leftists actually asked activists that if the now t.n.a. say that they are coming to hold a sit in there now this follows we heard a lot of speeches from the stage one of the activists who spoke there encouraged the crowd to to remain here it pushed in style square in his words until putin step down no we were waiting on to say how many people would actually follow that the vast majority of people as i say have now gone this around well several hundreds perhaps a cows and people that's my estimate anyway remaining there they say that they are going to try and stay there for as long as possible you know for the rest of the speeches that we heard from from the activists today we actually heard from

a collection of believe he's been one of the the leaders of this this movement condemned the elections saying that they were neither free all fit he did his best to to rouse the crowd as he as he could we also heard from the presidential candidates because of crocodiles who said that this you know he was beaten in sunday's presidential elections by vladimir putin but this wasn't the end of his political journey he had said before the elections that if he didn't win the presidency that he would remain employed takes and he would form a political party he's reached aerated that tonight. saying that he will remain in politics and try to put forward his vision of a new russia so really the latest to the minute here the majority of people have left but it's a group of the leftists as they call themselves all remaining leave the stage here questions guys were saying that they will be holding a sit in here. ok to want to share not just for a better word of the hardcore. retest is there more generally is there

a feeling or not to the message is being attenuated somewhat now that this result printer results still be ratified but if so when by a huge margin by the looks of it is finally know all those votes are counted is the message changing at all people dropping off the bat what it will what's the general feeling about where it's going to go from here. we'll be talking to people who seemed as committed to the various causes and it they have been well over the past couple of months only been speaking to them when they say various schools this is because there is no real unifying message certainly no unifying leader at all of this and this movement this protest movement really we've seen the seething people feel the far left the far right and everybody in between we've seen hard line communists to well quite far right groups and they will be voicing their various opinions that doesn't seem to be any major. decrease in the level in which they voicing those opinions however as i said as i said earlier on you say mentioned as

well there is this this hard core element that are holding well what appears to be a city just behind me there in front of the stage where we saw all these speeches delivered tonight. will be interesting to see how the authority to whatever of the coming days even of course if they do stay there with them moved on or left to carry on protesting but so they will be following of course on this channel of course the opposition protests have been taking place final taney asli with rallies of protrudes supporters really celebrating for a second day here r.t. charon tear ronte that their main meetings via moscow from now square which is just behind kevin and i hear of course she is down on the streets there the rally we can hear it really in full swing what's the mood there on the shore it's fascinating how many people are there we stopped a hundred thousand yesterday we're hearing that today that's not the case. certainly today it is a smaller gathering but it. like yours

a concert just people saying there's too much dancing other views it as been blasting nonstop since this miley be done earlier today from ellie and what's interesting about today's meeting. where is that people giving out these are still lives in some part of such a sick flies to simplify it costs me not to sell this but these friends lives to show that we should look so far toward spring term it's a new beginning everybody here chanting lost our russia victory self it's very possible. very exciting but here on the ground. for some last night during we're going to come out and made an appearance here where there were approximately a hundred said some words i cannot help celebrate his victory

he of the worst may use words like this very emotional it praising people and saying i told you we were where we are and where seltsam and again people of other support second lives to weigh their person and support our lives even to. the parties karen to russia reporting live from right now square where like she said our approach to sit in a rally or celebration i think it's fair to call it is taking place. while the election might bring more than just a change in leadership because it also signal a shift in the official opposition's voice three presidential candidates who earlier supported the street protests say the poll was legitimate and congratulated sightseer putin on his win really delish there was a meeting which the year president elect's held with his election rival she joins us now with a date. sales are good only

a lot of people would be saying you know this boat seems to go this way in a seems to be a very big majority. it's true for people to band together to try to work together to go to the future yes people are low there are people of course they are but you know this seems to be a strong majority here in favor of bush was doing well or way just from the probability of a move forward and that's precisely what it looks like when the three of the contenders were actually there meeting with him today i actually did feeling was that of an amicable agreement outside of course they you know all congratulating each other are the three candidates puts in for winning the election congratulate them on securing a lot of votes millions of people whose votes should not be disregarded those people should respect that he made a point underlining that played basically laid out their thoughts on issues on the tivo program for example said that the young people those are the talented and the young should be given the opportunity to really shine and ability to move forward

enough in life and then journalist of course he always has lots of ideas so he brought all of those people are those out on the people as well we all know such keep talking but in first two for the future diversifying away from bit the oil and gas revenues should scare gushy very much a floatin preview she's looking to new technology and developing baby assets the brushes go up which is young people absolutely and i'll just step away from the for a bit while and and such of course they did talk about the violations they militias which sounds a restraint to the car and person said that he is one person who is the most interested in solving all the issues concerning those very violations of course the one man who was notably missing from the meeting was you know he's a guy i love who apparently refused admission to come and meet with the president elect and apparently he is the source loser even though came in second remind all of us is is this come or war going to go you never once told wishfully really in recent years he's always come second how far off with a vote. this time around was he taking it so bad he's actually only are going about

three percent differently i mean i wish that was seventeen percent right about now i usually say about twenty so it's not that big of a margin and yet he was absolutely adamant that you know he already declared vote a legitimate i said he's you know basically going to protest and then you can look at your gnostic was also referenced by this is his fifth time running he also miss you actually missed out proper again in fourth and yet he was there actually happy as a call i actually on top of it only did we did mrs roberts to say that although he's sixty five years old be happy to run against him so yes i just don't seem to want that yes exactly but he said his party is reading and roaring and at the same time he said that the party is ready that he and the party are fully supporting our president our prime minister there and do the right life i mean it certainly happened when i was in a corner and it was sky high for us here in our special election certain things thank you all this election it was washed over by tens of thousands of observers and asked to results thank you and they're now reporting back with their findings

are t's check of greece's across what they're saying. now we have had announcements from certain bodies european observer missions including pace the. parliamentary assembly of the council of europe where they have stressed there's been a real marked improvement in terms of the presidential elections compared to that hold the dewar letters i couldn't dissever of course these rules with allegations of electoral who are slightly more critical and so does that so the poets see the old eyes a ship security cooperation in europe now they said the have been some real positive noises including the great taishan of web cameras we see this is still in over ninety thousand polling stations around the country line people long streaming access to the election day procedure and also the implementation of ballot boxes see through ballot boxes to us. more or less illegal activities or allegation left

for a little fraud to take place but he has stressed despite this it is quote insufficient now these are all the opinions of two point three bodies and we've spoken to another independent observer to his story. we have seen several irregularities several mistakes of the members of the polling stations so it's normal you cannot prepare all people i mean there are thousands of people working on the electoral process and you cannot have prepare them perfectly so nothing is ideal but the irregularities or in the bahamas not even here a good hour it is about those technical and organisational problems were seemingly out of the problems we have faced in european countries the last stress even those within the ranks of the opposition here barry said that promise of a new peace in secured a win in this presidential vote what they're disputing is down knowledge of how

much he won by. got into. the let's get to reaction from around the world to the street corner one of the latest stations to grossly legitimate food to joining china japan and other countries but the media by jews are out for blood with. figures taking center stage where correspondent guy nature can be in it washington d.c. a morris miss buys keeping an eye on what's happening in london force in reaction to this big photo girls on let's go to guy named first in the d.c.u. from releasing resets to miss out of france fallouts relations of course with the u.s. have been somewhat turbulent under glazier putin in the past how is america's taking his victory he's obviously heading to the kremlin in may now. but we haven't heard any official congratulations here in washington papers run with has lines

like been ma chrissy's react cooly to put says victory quote unquote rampant fraud vote rigging that's what the media focus on certain violations have been reported but there was an unprecedented watch over the course of the elections in russia with cameras in polling stations all across the country and with many thousands of russians who volunteered to observe the vote those violations are sure to go to court but there were also hundreds of international observers who gave no such diagnosis as rampant fraud but also interesting about the coverage here everybody knows that putin is the most popular politician in russia so there is the acknowledgement of that but at the same time there seems to be some lack of respect for the choice that russians have made it was a landslide victory not just in a no vote but all in all opinion polls confirmed that there is one more in consistence inconsistency most experts agree the last candidate who would one vote rigging would be prime minister putin who was far ahead of his rivals in all

opinion polls over eighty i had already before the elections but no want to work one of our cars. the washington post or example goes with the headline russia's stolen election confirms reset failure so another interesting point often touched upon the reset what's going to happen to the reset given that prime minister future president putin is seen here as kind of a russian hawk who never shied away from glaad and sharp remarks on certain u.s. policies when asked about it said we said doesn't mean russia has to give up its national interest or not be able to express its views on some crucial international issues especially it's about finding common ground and as he said despite the differences the reset has worked and both countries are said to benefit first of all economically from that we say. ok that's the picture from the state the picture from the. u.k.

correspondents in london for us and muted response from your side of the pump. absolutely yes and very muted we waited for a while for any kind of response at all from downing street we did eventually get one and it did come out in france is the clearest indorsement that we have from europe really downing street spokespeople said that it had been a decisive result there had been some problems with the vote but overall the outcome wasn't in doubt they said pointed out that even independent n.g.o.s put in clearly above the fifty percent that was required to secure an outright victory angle or merkel from germany we understand has already called all was said jules to call to congratulate him on his victory but she was set to stress the desire for germany to see greater political freedoms in russia. in france possibly to move these to his spokespeople say that he has an i.q. it's new since the big three but he still says studying the reports from the

organization for security cooperation in europe and he was very critical. the elections it's course the media goes i've got several papers here the independent. carries a front page story to preach what awaits me on the occasion of the victory. it's christ lord i would have pictured here. rural vote saying and they will face stressed the thousands of monitors who are out looking at the fates the times also to realize picture of putin but they in fact have been much next critical than the other papers have they lead with peace and accusation that his opponents tried to break up russia and used power but i say much less critical than the majority of the mainstream media here and i've got the sun as well just so that we can take a look they've got a picture of peace and they're wiping away tears again glad to be back they say so . muted reaction really all across europe but nevertheless even the newspapers

in the fine print are saying that they're showing an increasing acceptance of what everyone is calling a pretty decisive victory. because i lower speeds in london and before i go to japan in washington d.c. thanks ever so much forgiveness a picture of what's happening in europe and the states you're watching if you stronger so to special coverage of the russians presidential election by them scare you know in advance and i should like to be joined by news tonight thousands of people have been rallying in several russian cities in reaction to the vote on the biggest of them of course in the capital here in moscow fair election a protest for the two men for them in pushkin square it seems to be winding down our correspondent peter over there we're keeping track of what's happening still several people there we're hearing now it took place despite recognition that this election was the most transparent in decades really cold blooded approach it has

declared president elect having greeted his four rivals. for leaders. including from china and germany have been sending their congratulations to the winner but there's also a mass rally in support. happening in moscow from that square although it does really just saying that's time down just like it's actually over all shoulder depending on your choice where it was kicking off a clue about ten minutes ago and now it seems to have saw people making their way away so not so good not fruited rally we can tell you now because i can see it is winding down tonight and we also saw last night of course we were here i'd use demonstration telling whose victory shortly after the vote late on sunday an estimated one hundred ten or so thousand people cheering the kennedy center because informal victory was a huge gathering again most annoyed we took your breath away when you looked over your shoulder it was a for all the people you could see the authorities estimate a good advertisement but it was difficult to estimate we're looking at it but it

was an awful lot of people much more weeks annoyed indeed although we're hearing about fifteen thousand people turned up this night a lot of going to be treatment credit yes they joined the new the elected president to address the crowd was a big cheer but of course we bring you live updates about audible and gathering strength the next fall out a few hours in fact i was all right coverage continues live here on the politic of in chief in central moscow tonight not so different reactions of course criticism haha applause outpourings of support to stalin predictions at the end of russia the web of course certainly having its states had a kevin lots of reaction out there blogger and journalist tim kirby hollowing the latest on line child care for our t.v. tim always been somewhat of a polarizing figure especially on the internet and i think it's fair to say that's putting it lightly how this is victory being greeted on the net especially just the day after the election well that completely depends on who you ask to be honest

half the people are saying that this is a triumph and that this is just the beginning of lead reported. career and the other half are saying that this is the last day and the end of it so it's really a matter of taste the other question is are the people real or not because as i've discussed before there's a lot of butts a lot of fake accounts like right now at pushkin square you know the author well a lot of people are just throwing up tons and tons of quotes from the author at least i think they're quotes from the author because you know and to be honest i'm not very well read but yes it's very interesting also a lot of people especially the ladies are complaining about their clothing yeah a lot of people were the wrong clothing to stand around for three or four hours in a protest but regardless they still have a good time with that a lot of people are also writing things not so much about putin but about the who's who who came you know the communist party will actually last their you tube i watched it they made a big video on you tube that they declaring that they are not going to acknowledge the elections and so they have some representatives there people said that

apparently also what the opposition rally but a lot of people are saying of the appropriate in rally where everyone satisfied with their actions they're really enjoying the music and they are having an absolutely great time with everything song. really good to get the buzz there on what's happening online on the internet funds have been across it for us in the arts and you said today much appreciated let's follow on for the big part of the protests has been trending on facebook and twitter in russia over the post few weeks isn't this a very very much more on the social sway let's not talk to my colleague oh he said it's her in chief of the men's magazine g.q. russian michael place according to see is it. is it is it a trend is the possum trend of people just getting on the bandwagon to be trendy this is all going to go do you think it's going to tail off or is this the start of something big foot depends on what the next move is the ball is now with the support and first of all has been and couldn't score for

a while no none of the below. demands have really been. good. he's going to say he's going to say it was a fair and transparent election before he says oh yeah we've witnessed the cameras that we witnessed there are three hundred twenty thousand cameras staring down in every polling station right now there are some i mean really proves that you can argue you know by showing the carousels that have been good for the ok the up i've got starting on either side yes there were some violations the one polling station in dagestan the votes have been out to go be saying it was perfect but are you saying it was so widespread all those illegitimate children not well surely i'm joined. in this view by several respected organizations ok got you if you will manny we talk about i'm not hostile because it's clear that moscow was below fifty percent of the whole country now like moscow we see a second round of it's usually the case that in the recent if much something you hear some much about what has been the focus of this kind of pre-election coverage

especially in the west has been about moscow how people feel if moscow for whom i see you think that's you know that's the most difficult that's most interesting thing because the last is the place that has materially benefit the most in the parking area so you have to ask you know people are actually going against their own economic and everything kamchatka in the far east yesterday they were reporting ten notes truly on up to seventy percent every places why then simply just in moscow the affluent centers where people are not generalizing a whole lot of people you know they're all poor people of course are all but this middle class they can afford a car they can afford to do a lot they can afford to do every day for things just because of what time of the hands are not worrying about having to scrape to make a living as some people in the rural parts saw and so therefore they got more time to dedicate to thinking about. the social side write your listeners on the go use

your pursuit kevin precisely for the reason because we got the car we've got the gusher we've got the. billeted to travel the next step is to be taken seriously in public fields to think of the state and the services of parades as a kind of good or service to the people accustomed to a higher standard of living known to man is this what was it was description servant to do and why it seems to be sort of moscow and st petersburg basin as opposed to being out of the rule is i think it's fair to assume so but of course also we're dealing with the most informed part of the population the most wired part of the population of course you can't discount the way but the web has you know nj and all this is so that's also part of but he doesn't make their book any more important necessarily of course i mean the rest it's clear that clinton would have won either way would you agree with that and they're saying that they're only doing it is simply a few people will argue about it once they're face to debate but it's not focused

on that that he doesn't share a huge amount of support in russia especially outside of moscow st petersburg and whether or not you know he got he himself at least a spokesperson said that he didn't expect that much of a victory had bad quarters themselves in expected and some people in fact said that the protest movement might if help them even though most the next match here i think they're helping each other i think it's a mutual feedback loop right now i mean when i look at it if you step back and you look at the more general picture that it's really got the dialogue doing it amongst politics of folk all it takes here in russia a lot of people said have been stagnant for so long ok some of the faces haven't changed but it's got people talking it's got people into the streets and surely is a positive matter how you look at it you know to argue with him just bring us up to date you obviously were at pushkin square you have yes tell us recently just about what what you felt about tonight's program will we see more more specifically is it still going on there we're hearing a big nothing going so i think it's dissipating but i know. well i've also been to

suffer a protest which was and december twenty fourth that one was. interesting because the tensions were really high because that was the first protest where you really saw sort of forces that have never been together like black nationalists like for you know and people like that stand next to and speak you know right next to two liberals and there is this profound. discomfort with that i think that both sides are no figuring out how to work with each other tour i'm going to actually spoke at this rally as well but you could see he tone down his rhetoric you could see that the nationalists are trying to find ways to create some sort of probably short lived alliance with the liberals in order to to demand fair elections. and the rest michael said so so much go to see this likely go for the editor in chief of men's magazine g.q.

here in russia very good luck on the progress going to the site makes a nice for the international observers have been having their say on the openness of russia's presidential election one thing for sure this poll was unique in that anyone could vote monitor and many many thousands of people voted to do it before hundred million dollars project with ninety one thousand when it comes to choose from. well the cameras caught more than just ballots cast an attractive nearly two million fascinated viewers parties that are not say i've been looking at some of those videos that are going viral you'll see why. it wasn't only about who we know we did hear. you. pull through use it. but the lections world also bought these video cameras here but to make them stay and transparent and into my d. gave was always the unexpected entertainment for ordinary russians.

these people became the true reality stars of the election even though the world was watching closely they thought no one was looking. president elect about it had web cameras installed in almost one thousand one thousand stations across the country now he wanted to make sure that the elections were transparent and with those cameras cause almost thirteen billion rubles but he didn't bargain for was that the cameras would give us a glimpse of other people's lives along the country from chechnya to tumen. there's a certain voyeurism behind anonymous filming. to really enjoy big brother watching . the extensive monotreme plan exhausted many of russia's resources this police officer besides she needed.
