the biggest stories on the wiki on our see as what you were preaching against resoundingly victory in last sunday's presidential election the protest movement loses momenta due to internal fractures and a lack of clear goals. to the world approach to this syrian crisis as russia and the arab league come to an agreement over how to stop the violence in the country and there are still those trying to poke sticks through the spokes of diplomacy. and three days under fire eight zero continues to the one plan strikes and goals that carried more than a dozen in the worst violence the region seen in a year. hello

and welcome to all t's a weekly review prime minister vladimir putin's return to the presidency is confirmed after an overwhelming election victory but as the long and hard fought race for the climate is so that of the challenges our challenges still lie ahead for the new leader. killer call it emotional minefield. i promised you we would win. i mean. we have. but before a minister may have justified he steers by the strong wind but no one would be surprised if it was caused by the joy of victory. it was hardly a shock as putin had been the elections clear front runner but even still result of almost sixty four percent stunned even those at the helm who would never think

about such a high result so it's going to. predicted for ourselves and it shows ross again actually proves that putin is a go figure number one of those countries and then he's potential. is yet to be oh i'm told it but it's no time to party now many experts believe contains real challenge in fact starts now that. this will get sort of a battle between the two i'll tear up of course all of that state irrelevant court hearing developments credits for myself identify the first concert as putting the land they want russian political system to be transparent whereas russia's economy where they will be more nepotism and corruption but on the other hand this other group are for us to lead as well as russia and probably i associate it with a deal. they just need status quo they need just some ten dollars from the state

they don't want any change which is the road to nowhere to change manifested itself in the sudden rise of new. in under four months the russian billionaire managed to persuade more than five million people to vote for him many say this new face in the country school takes has serious potential and it all sort of already declared an intention to form an opus ition party with putin promising he would cooperate with it to symbolize the new the new russia and some be sure all the other candidates. from the old stylish song is really. good. they're not you know. more leaders of the younger generation and figures speak for themselves second place communist leaders to gun again seventeen percent in his fifth campaign for presidency less than he scored he had earned at a parliamentary vote and experts say even this came mostly as protest vote jane in

the eyes of many this is a clear signal it's time for french politicians to make way into western countries if your party loses the election its leader is over and changed if it happens again then he's definitely changed these guys had lost three times prior to the smoke a lot of those folks are still seen as being somewhat out of touch you in the russian street is you know work these guys had their chance in the one nine hundred ninety s. they screwed things up you know we still need stronger leadership and they're able to offer we need a more concrete program to put in will continue his work as prime minister for two more months of that period which could become crucial and decisive for the country's long term future. in will officially return to the kremlin on may the seventh that is when his inauguration takes place at all then the president elect will have to work out a strategy of holding a dialogue between those in power and those in the streets and given that some are still calling for him to step down even after such a convincing victory this may prove to be quite a task. alexi russia r.t.

reporting from moscow. on a show this presidential campaign will be remembered for is the massive rallies that heralded a political awakening for russia's public and by all appearances they worked with transparency becoming a top government priority today however the protest movement seems to be thinking out and support quickly phrasing things i mean i'm going to take some. of the protesters unhappy with the results of the presidential elections due to the streets the day after the vote took place some kept the police busy. decided to hold steve you wanted to hours yes you were there. bush ignored no i'm not going to leave the square i'm staying here until putin leaves where the tents go and there were no tents but there was a fountain which all died some chose as a makeshift stage to make his students from and from which police removed him and

several dozens of his supporters. a situation repeated itself on saturday when police pulled the south from an electricity transformer again after the opposition rally was issuing over but the antics of the opposition leaders seem to do little to keep people coming to protest rallies three years ago but of those who were there with these did it if that hysteria that irritation and aggression had continues it would have alienated the public no one here wants a revolution no one wants to fight with police the people who come to these protests only want change they don't want bloodshed or violence which is what could scare them away the results of the elections to the studio much hotly contested by many brought tens of thousands on the streets of moscow the day after presidential elections there are only half of that number showed up to push his go square and even fewer still to the demonstration on saturday just out of the leverage here because of it and all i see everything the protest action was took place over the

last i'd rather see more hours a day go very badly you know it's not a silhouette of the president it was good i didn't hear it was there some blame the lack of a coherent idea and absence of unity among the opposition leaders for the waning support that i had i think these people all have a different agenda some don't even know rival hey if i was born i want to see different independent candidates that i could choose from but i don't think we can really reach any goals by quite a slight force even some of the most vocal supporters of the movement for their actions six solid foundations are necessary to carry on with the movement ok because that's in the market from so. regulation and structure is needed some sort of goals an understanding of what happens next which can be easily understood by people who are also necessary. to the movement which began as a call for free and fair elections in russia following the gold for the state duma seems to have turned into haphazard series of gatherings they have achieved success

in bringing people. to the streets. try to attract more attention to their slogans but we are now witnessing their slogans needs to be changed. for a new age and impact the rallies seem to you only one slogan counts with putin but what to do if you leave no one seems to know in moscow in middle school our team. reaction to return to the presidency by no means stop at russia's borders coming up in about fifteen minutes at stake for everyone the media relentless tirade against truthiness cavernous it comes to our hearts store as observers and russia has paid a very different picture of reality. is a theory that the mood for the election stories of footage of free and post paul ryan is you're always right or here looking for it all to go home and also that

that activity opinion on the book the head of russia because they're the people who want to take that iraq right apart. the debate on how to stop this syrian crisis has been tending towards diplomacy russia and the arab league have come up with a joint plan rolling out foreign intervention and calling a by the government and the opposition to lay down arms as they go on arab league envoy has been see rep remoting an all inclusive dialogue but there's a notion of reports there are those still trying to hinder the. after several recent differences between western and arab views and those of russia and china on how the long running syrian conflict should be handled we're now seeing some consensus after the meeting with his arab counterparts russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov has served they have an outside common plan that sends a clear message to all of the sides being involved in this crisis. we've agreed

a joint position of five main points first just not violence wherever it comes from second to create an impartial and independent monitoring system fluid no external interference for the unrestricted delivery of humanitarian aid to all syrians and finally the firm support of kofi annan mission to start a political dialogue between the government and all opposition groups because it's . a joint u. and arab league envoy is currently on a peace mission here in damascus both their sources and within the country opposition welcomed the initiative but the efforts were dismissed even before coffee allen's arrival to syria by and now the opposition group based outside the country the syrian national council recognized by many countries by e.u. as the legitimate representative of the syrian people thinking for democratic changes firmly rejected talks with the government and called on more military pressure on the regime of bashar al assad these calls were followed by suggestions by qatar to deploy foreign troops to syria but there is a fear here on the grounds of the growing international interference in the

country's conflicts paving the way for an even bigger crisis as the syrian conflict stretches out in time it has also spread geographically i coasts of the uprising i felt far from the country's borders what's happening in syria is far greater. than what you've seen as the international community mobilize against the assad regime strategic analyst dr salinas says one thing is clear though that mobilization has many more than officially stated. that during the operation in baba amr the syrian army. arrested fighters from gulf countries and afghanistan iraq libya and some european states their work was coordinated by qatari and saudi intelligence officers as well as cia and mossad it's also seized israeli weapons especially anti-tank missiles and israeli drones. well the u.s. and many other countries have admitted all kind of linked extremists groups

fighting alongside the armed opposition in syria dr salinas says some countries are using those groups to further their own interests. to get local players involved in order to hide there and this is why we hear mostly arabs like saudi arabia and qatar or iraq these countries don't have democracy at home of course they cannot ask first dabbling in syria they have another agenda. there are books and written sources where this plan is described in detail decades ago and how to coach never blogger and freelance journalist has been investigated for an important and serious crisis since last year she says this is a story with three main chapters weapons smuggled across the border overseas contractors and foreign cash when you see a lot of money in syria i believe this is comparable to what happened in the super war. there were plenty of one then you will find not they're going to talk

about how there is a valid thought something nobody would kill him so. now when you would see now this is. here with more and more reports on international involvement emerging and calls to arm the opposition getting louder even for those at the grassroots for the uprising the initial euphoria is turning bitter. they can say we regret what we did but we don't want things to go back. to much militarized globalized. we never want to and don't want intervention now but fears are. that it could be too late to stop this all too far into flames of conflict while the conflict between president bashar assad and his opponents here in syria and so it's something dear. another conflict is also in full swing between those calling on dialogue and political settlement as the way out and those who

insist on military solution and a lot a certain intern fights almost as important as the one claiming blood on the streets. written or shot see damascus syria. political analyst professor abraham mallu says efforts to hinder diplomacy could lead to endless violence in the country. and plan to depose bashar al assad and change the regime in syria. with a more neutral friendly regime are still in place what we have seen so far is basically an opening in the seventh civil war and the gates of hell being cracked a little bit open. those so much that is that stake here the. ceiling. we are talking about the possibility of a very a very bloody and prolonged civil war that will definitely extend into iraq and
