5:02 pm
will bring back equality essentially by wanting to heavily tax big corporations and rich and the vigils does not cause he has said during his campaign that he is the only one who will be able to bring france out of the economic part maher is saying but a lot said it is the shot he is up to that challenge is one of the first things he wants to do as president this is speak with the germany's angela merkel to renegotiate that fiscal pact that had been a great apart so really it's sending a symbol to europe this is a socialist when and for as it's what kind of what direction europe will take now with frazz changing its course there's also the question though of what kind of change and how much change can all on really bring to the country as he has promised given all the constraints that he will be facing with certainly he will have a very busy first few weeks there's a nato summit coming up where he's going to present to the u.s. as far as what would draw a french troops to afghanistan earlier than planned as well that's a g.
5:03 pm
twenty so the world is certainly watching what kind of press is going to be will press warlord as their new president because patrick your own director of an investment firm says there's no real difference between sarkozy and his successor all aren't he says that the new man like the one who is out doesn't offer a solution to france's financial woes the economic policies that are being put forward by all of the calendar that she the french presidential election even in the first round were all based upon the most juvenile understanding of economics that we've ever seen i mean it's the sort of thing that bloggers love and you will see the ball to many. of the comment pages amongst all of the other the teenage people who love to use those sorts of things all the internet but is it realistic of course it isn't and actually i think while we're all whole town he turned round the whole ship of what has been the new the pigmy achievements of the poisoned war for the elites say no of course you can't and ultimately what's going to happen with these european relationship where of course everybody's trying to make it as
5:04 pm
if it's going to be some sort of huge controversy but let's remember only a couple of years ago mrs merkel and mr sarkozy couldn't stand the sight of each other the current failed policies of mr sarkozy or indeed we see an end of his liberty in existence and mr hollande conceded it's still on for she got to be a disaster just as well as him at a portent prepares to take office and russian fugitive as offering big money for his arrest exiled russian tycoon buddies with his off ski is reportedly offering a ballot to anyone who details putin our panel here if so our correspondent ivan bennett joins us live from london with the details ira so what exactly is the exile the oligarchs plan. what is plan is to have putin arrested for what he calls the illegal seizing of power so he's offering up a bounty what used to be fifteen million rubles but now one new source in russia is claiming that he's increased that ten times to five hundred million rubles which is
5:05 pm
which equates to around seventeen million dollars and he's offering that anyone basically any member of the public who will. arrest the president elect who he calls a highly dangerous criminal ahead of his inauguration on monday so he's advertising this bounty on his facebook pages live journal blog which is a site very big in russia and he has a number of followers in fact and he's appealing to the general public not just the general public also even. parts of putin's inner circle like his bodyguards asking them to start what would be a mutiny and he's ultimately wants obviously to see the opposition in power the growing popular protest movement. and he's even calling on the head the prosecutor general's office in russia to what to restore what he calls constitutional order and so he's clearly aligning himself here with the popular protest movement we've seen recently in moscow now how legal do you think attempts like these are tender
5:06 pm
fear with russia's internal affairs. paul seems to think it's perfectly legal he's he's saying that if putin does become president of russia for a third time then he'll be in breach of the constitution because he claims that the wording around whether someone can have run for president of the time is very very good at the moment as only. you claims this. and let's not forget either that he is in fact a wanted man in russia he's been on the run there since well for the good part of a decade now he fled russia back in the early part of the first presidential term after falling out with the president he fled russia after there was an investigation into his ownership of a large chunk of state assets back then and since then he's been living in the u.k. where he sought asylum on his living off his dwindling wealth and he's
5:07 pm
perfectly happy basically to live here hoping the britain won't extradite him and that clearly is very much in his interest that he inspires this popular protest movement and clearly that he sponsors it as well now ryan artie's correspondent arguer bennett live from london thank you. journalist don tamara thinks it's entirely possible that as off his ideas are inspired from overseas. well he's based in the u.k. and he apparently is getting very favorable treatment of some rather in my opinion the outlandish outlandish attempts to restrict the free press from the british courts that's pretty high up and so on the one hand probably from the british government but also if you consider the situation between the united states and russia right now where you have the united states is very upset with russia over its veto of the attempt to use military force against syria and also the tension
5:08 pm
over the installation of the so-called anti missile was system in western and even eastern europe the united states may very well be behind this. the neo fascist party golden dawn is set to become the latest addition to the greek parliament exit polls show the extreme nationalist organization has won between six and eight percent of the vote well above the require three percent threshold economic analyst and international lawyer a next great guest believes that great lot to punish their governing parties for not paying attention to the people's wants and needs greece lost ten percent of its population under the nazi boot it will see we also have close to ten million diaspora greeks overseas so as you know so be it and racism is something we should stay far away from however in greece the governments have not dealt with the issue of illegal immigration very well we don't know how many illegal immigrants we have and we've got to do was springing up in many areas of athens now this particular
5:09 pm
group has been shopped enough to understand that it's vigilantes on the streets protecting. turning away prostitutes and drug runners and they've won quite a large slice of popular support and more than that this particular election was also one in which anger prevailed they wanted to punish the two large parties. police in bahrain have detained the had of the country's center for human rights for criticizing the interior ministry on twitter now bill a key figure in the opposition to the ruling regime was arrested just days before his interview by the world's top whistleblower julian assange was due to air on our team the civil rights leader was already facing charges of participating in protests against the government and was returning to bahrain for a sunday court hearing the uprising has been ongoing for fourteen months now with the predominantly shiite population protesting against the sunni dynasty amarna
5:10 pm
shall be political analyst and senior columnist at the allah akbar newspaper thinks the uprising in some likely to get serious style coverage. is the rest can be considered as arbitrary because the man has not committed any crime whatsoever he's a human rights activist he's been the protests in bahrain have been peaceful protests they have not resorted to any weapons they have not resorted to any violence when the evolution started it wasn't for the removal of the king it was for basic equal rights between all behind they knew they are asking for democracy and the world is not responding to their demands and the world is not reacting the same way it's reacting to other in other places in the arab world where these rebellions are armed sometimes and the so therefore there is a clear double standard when it comes to but perhaps because behind them is a is
5:11 pm
a kingdom in the gulf and therefore there is a fear that if the if these people will get their rights and if the then it is a possibility that the kingdom would collapse and it would be the beginning of the collapse of other kingdoms and the gulf and that's very sensitive for the world because the gulf as we know is in a part of the world that is rich in natural resources and more specifically with with that with with the petrol. and you'll get the chance to see julian assange has exclusive interview with not be able to stay here on our team. i speak to two leading revolutionaries one from bahrain where the revolution failed was a leadership where the revolution is now in turmoil what makes a revolution and where is the arab spring going to go. all right eleven minutes past the hour and the syrian government has granted an

amnesty to two hundred sixty five rebels ahead of monday's. parliamentary vote the first such election in decades meanwhile i series of blasts in the capital damascus and the northern city of aleppo killed at least three civilians on saturday and sara firth reports people are placing increasing hope on the u.n. observer mission monitoring the frequently breached cease fire. in the heart of damascus thousands come out to. the funerals of people killed during clashes in the capital once again drew into focus the very precarious situation the country now finds itself before the bodies of the day they carried through the streets of damascus as heroes the people who were killed on that the station they hear the story you've got the military the security watching this is it the same time as the u.n. observers are supposed to be here overseeing the peace plan but not only in the day
5:13 pm
we've joined the u.n. observers on one of the daily to is to flash point areas. this have been traveling to some of the areas where the focus is by things being breaking out and you can see on the ground small slow steps are being taken in the observers are really going to be wanting over the coming period the building on the observers are also based full time in some cities like homs and it led many have felt that their presence there has bought some car or we have little time between stops to speak to the people who live here those we do talk to tell us that the last few days have been quiet but they don't know how long that will last it was a two asians much there's not much happening here now. people. are still people shooting a lot of bread away i don't know exactly what was happening we're here at the checkpoints on the device that the dean of the u.n. have just. on a tour through the area it's been a very very fast trip they've literally driven through stopping at some of the
5:14 pm
military checkpoints around speak to some of the people but no more than five ten minutes at a time to give you barely enough time to speak to some of the people in the area and get a feel for exactly what's been happening here well as the observers presence here does seem to have made some small inroads the situation in the country is far from stable tension in the capital of damascus is palpable explosions here a regular occurrence now and security everywhere is tight firefighters rushed to the scene after a demonstration servers themselves have admitted a resolution won't happen even night and it will have to come in large parts from the syrian people themselves but with parliamentary elections next week and with the observer mission under close scrutiny the scenes like this will do anything to raise hopes that this mission will be a success but they also show the very real and urgent need for it to be say.
5:15 pm
