live from our headquarters in moscow this is our top story this hour from a lawn to has alstad nicholas a cozy from the french presidency to become the country's first socialist president to seventeen years it was a close call winning just fifty one percent of the vote against his rivals forty nine a correspondent has been witnessing while celebrations at the socialist party headquarters in paris but the results are out france has a new president socialist challenger francois long has a college of victory making him the first socialist president in a seventy day years and for the for because sarkozy is now the eleventh e.u. leader to be so power since the crisis started putting forth this add to your sturdy sentiment she leaping across the continent now for a lot he has presented himself for the most part as the man who will unite france will bring back equality essentially by war to the heavily taxed big corporations and rich and the vigils does not cause he had said during his campaign that he is

the only one who will be able to bring france out of the economic crowd barr is saying but a lot said it is speech that he is up to that challenge 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 agreed 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 france 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 was 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. twenty so the world is certainly watching what kind of threat is going to be with france warlord as their new president. economists patrick young whose director of an investment firm says however there's no real difference between say cosy and for

success a want he says that the new men are like the ones ousted doesn't office addition to france's financial woes the economic policies that are being put forward by all of the candidates in 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 the bloggers love and you all see at the bottom end of the comments pages amongst all of the other teenage people who love to use those sorts of things on the internet but is it realistic of course it isn't and actually i think while we're all whole town he turned wrong and the whole ship of what has been the no 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 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 going to be a disaster. and a socialist triumph in france in greece of the elections have the scene fascists making big gains as a sitting government takes a kicking from voters' series over economic hardships. later in the program we'll see how the extreme nationalist golden dawn party looks set to enter the greek parliament for the first time in a very strong demonstration yet the voters rejecting this charity imposed by e.u. leaders. just as bloody murder putin prepares to take office a russian fugitive is offering big money for his arrest exiled russian tycoon a bar is a beer of he is reportedly offering a bounty to anyone who detains putin at the inauguration our correspondent bennett has details from london. 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 fifty million rubles but now one new source in russia is claiming that he's increased that ten times to five hundred million rubles which equates to around seventeen million dollars and he's offering that anyone basically any member of the public who'll arrest the president elect him he calls a highly dangerous criminal ahead of his inauguration on monday so he's advertising this bounty on his facebook page his 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 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. seems to think it is perfectly legal 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 someone can run for president a third time is very very good at the moment as only he 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 putin's 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 living off his dwindling wealth and he's perfectly happy basically to live here hoping that britain won't extradite him and that clearly is

very much in his interests that he inspires this popular protest movement and clearly that he sponsors it as well. journalist don de bar all things it's in timing possible bures off these ideas i'm speired of a scene. well he's based in the u.k. and he apparently is getting very favorable treatment of some rather in my opinion outlandish atlanta tends 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 very upset with russia over its veto of the attempt to use military force against syria and also the tension 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 and develop the me it appeared to integration

is now just a few hours away so don't forget to join us from seven thirty g.m.t. in the morning plus special coverage of the event from the stunning splendor of the kremlin's holes. opposition activists have clashed with police in central moscow often defying order is to move to they officially agree to a cation for their rally the anti-government protests dubbed the march of millions

it was timed for the evil vladimir putin's presidential you know gratian out of t.s.a. you got a piece can all has the details. the a rally itself originally was pretty peaceful until one of the radical leaders of the opposition i said you will die so if called on the crowd to move away from the authorized area and gather at another spot not agreed with the authorities the police tried blocking the crowd you to see to these ng's but i guess some of the radical activists tried breaking through the very key to leading to scuffles and clashes with the authorities some activists were seeing throwing pieces of concrete molotov cocktails even and small growing aids at the police and this led to injuries on both sides according to the latest figures that we're getting twenty seven people have been injured including twenty policeman at one point the situation here in moscow really began looking like last year's riots

in london and many people we spoke with here say they're fed up with this huge you got to deal with the people who carry out such actions are extremists while people who want to change things though not by way of revolution not by violence but through reforms those are the kind of people we need like you to get a solution we looked at the protests out of control there's nothing good in this we need to try and find peaceful solutions to all problems jim public will not die you know everyone sick and tired of it so we want peace this is useless. several journalists were injured here as well and in a separate incident a man fell out of the window of the building as he was taking photographs of the protest march the building is not far away here from square it's fair to say that police were not getting ready for any aggressive behavior from the protesters since most of the previous rallies did go on peacefully so there were no water cannons no

teeth tear gas used either but due to the aggressive behavior two hundred fifty people were arrested including three opposition leaders including city with guards often blogger aleksey. when the who is now calling in his twitter account for people to go to more unsanctioned protest rallies. adrian political analyst and author based in buenos aires a says international powers could be involved in bringing russia's political divisions to point in point. the majority of the russian people sixty four percent do agree with this continuity that has now been going of for for over a decade and there was always a smaller group of people who did all agree some of them are democratic and they react respectfully towards the will of the majority in this case we can see that there are definitely sectors within the russian society that are voicing their opinion very heatedly the opposition very deeply and one can always wonder whether

there is some engineered insurrection also taking place inside russia as we have seen throughout the middle east where all the so-called arab rising has basically or to a great extent been engineered. and elsewhere in moscow supporters of the government and political establishment have been marking the anniversary of a popular front movement created by vladimir putin last him our correspondent was the. supporters of course are proper primarily those who are comprising the popular front which is celebrity it's one years on the first story today the organization was formed on the initiative called let's listen in order to bring together all those who were not participating in any political parties were not members of any political parties don't want just one one leads and make a sort of a political statement those people were all gathered under the umbrella all the popular songs and a lot of the words here today the flags there saying victory and woods and together

because people here are primarily those who support the government and everything that is operating in the country right now at the moment. despite a lot of coverage spokesman dmitri peskov says that even though there were indeed demonstrations against the president elect the size and scale has been greatly i have a blown international media to the contrary the amount of those. who are willing to produce it is decreasing and decreasing quite significantly what we see is a very market by. far the most cool but there are amount to be quite insignificant they cannot be compared with a one those who take part in actions demonstrations in our industry will already be on monday morning international and have a tendency to over give you a headache we already learned from the general trend of your money they should know

protests they have not resorted to any weapons they have not resorted to any violence when they destroy the revolution started it wasn't for the removal of the king it was for basic. equal rights between all but they are asking for democracy and the world is not responding to their demands as 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 so therefore there is a clear double standard when it comes to bahrain perhaps because buffering is a is a kingdom in the gulf and therefore there is a fear that if the if these people will get their rights and and if the then it is a possibility that the kingdom will collapse and it will be the beginning of the collapse of other kingdoms and emirates in the gulf and that's very sensitive for the world because the gulf as we know is
