it's just gone five o'clock here in moscow thank you for choosing r t m to bomb would say let's take a look at the headlines france all along times all stood nicholas so cozy from the french presidency to become the country's first socialist president in seventeen years it was a close call winning just fifty one percent of the vote against his rivals forty nine correspondent has been watching while celebrations at a socialist party's headquarters in paris. but the results are out france has a new president socialist challenger francois lot has a college of victory making him the first socialist president in a seventy the years and for because sarkozy is now the eleventh e.u. leader to be swept from power since the crisis started i put it forth this add to a sturdy sentiment should we bring 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 wanted to heavily tax big corporations and rich and the vigils the psychos the etc in his campaign that he is the only one who will be able to bring france out of the economic part bar it's a little law said it is be sure he is up to that challenge or one of the first things he wants to do as president this is speak with germany's angela merkel to renegotiate that fiscal pact that had been a great apart certainly at setting a symbol to europe this 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 off 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 what 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 press is going to be with france warlord as their new president. as we just heard from our correspondent along has promised a raft of reforms and france but french of taxpayers will again be the ones to tighten their belts to fulfill his ambitious plans that's according to alex coble spokesman for the center points daughter old news website. french voters. a choice between a man no longer wanted sarkozy and a man they didn't really want to improvise a lot of things he promised new public jobs in in education nearly sixty. a rise in the minimum wage increase in the in the pension in the pension age figure is like twenty billion additional expenses he plans to finance this twenty billion by raising taxes so you will see

a lot of austerity in the future and believe me believe me in the coming weeks or in the coming months the bond markets will be more watchful than the french voters and a socialist triumph in france and greece and the elections have seen fascism making big gains as a sitting government takes a taking from voters farias over economic hardships. late 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 the most stark demonstration yet of voters rejecting the austerity proposed by your leaders. just as vladimir putin prepares to take office a russian fugitive is offering big money for his arrest exiled a russian tycoon a barrister a bit of boston is reportedly offering a bounty to anyone who detains putin at the inauguration our correspondent ivan 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 he calls a highly dangerous crude 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 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 will be in breach of the constitution because he claims that the wording around someone can run for president at the time is very very good at the moment as only 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 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 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 john de bought things it's entirely possible better walski have d.s. i inspired i have a scenes 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 system in western and even eastern europe the united states may very well be behind this and vladimir putin's inauguration is not just

a few hours away so don't forget to join us from seven thirty g.m.t. in the morning floss special coverage of the event from the stunning splendor of the crimean skulls. opposition activists have clashed with police in central moscow off to define orders to move to the officially agreed location for they are ready the

antigovernment protests dubbed the march of millions last time to forty evolve led me to putin's presidential inauguration is a you got a piece going all has the details. be a rally itself originally was pretty peaceful until one of the radical leaders of the opposition i said you saw of 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 the reasons 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 grenades 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 do you feel that 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 know as it was 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 pug will not die you know everyone's sick and tired of that 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 t.g. or gas used either but due to the aggressive behavior two hundred fifty people were arrested including three opposition leaders including sigil there's often blogger alexina one lee who is now calling in his twitter account for people to go to war and sanctions protest rallies. despite a lot of coverage a spokesman dmitri best of us says that even though there were indeed demonstrations against the president elect they size and scale has been greatly overblown by 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. part of moscow right there in mountain view it's quite insignificant they cannot be compared with a one those who take part in actions and demonstrations they are in

a free will or is being done by government when international have a tendency or the jury service we learn from the general trend of their money is asian a ticket for britain proved to be dynamic and developing and changing the personality politician estates standing together with his country. and elsewhere in moscow supporters of the government and political establishment to have been marking the anniversary of the popular front movement created by vladimir putin lost him our correspondent to go was the. listen supporters of course are pro primarily those who are comprising the popular frauds which is liberating it's one hears that a verse three today. we're going to zazen was formed on the initiative called let's have a listen in order to bring together all those who were not participating in any political parties were not members of any political parties was no one just one one maybe to

make a sort of a political statement those people were all gathered under the umbrella of the popular front and a lot of them were here today with the flags there saying victory and woods and together because people here are brotherly those who support the government and everything that is happening in the country right now at the moment. this and other stories all available at our website at www dot com also on line no region and those of braving currently on trial for killing over seventy people somehow appears on a finnish hockey team billboard apparently because he was mistakenly included in the club's ban list find out how that happened online. and a message distribution of free copies of the koran in berlin is described as freedom of religious of expression by those behind it but others fear the involvement of radical muslim extremists.

police in bahrain have detained the head of the country's center for human rights for criticizing the interior ministry on twitter i'm now bill regev but a key figure in the opposition to the ruling regime was arrested days before his interview by the world's top whistleblower julian assange is due to on our team the civil rights leader was already facing charges for participating in protests against the government and was returning to bahrain fois sunday court hearing the uprising has been ongoing for fourteen months now with a predominantly shia to pick the population protesting against the sunni ruling dynasty patrick henningsen added to the website in forewards dot com says that genuine human rights activists are liking the bill or a jab stand out because they were willing to criticize boeing's western allies. mr

rajab is significant figure in the human rights movement globally no bill has been arrested in the past has been detained has been beaten possibly tortured so this should come as no surprise now with the western press is out of the country there's less of an opportunity for them to to really zero in on some of the human rights abuses that the bahraini government has become very well known for you can also tell a legitimate human rights worker or human rights organization from a manipulative one if they're criticizing a u.s. or british or or they're more likely to be legitimate human rights organization and not manipulated going through mr rajoy because i believe he's got his finger on the pulse of genuine human rights situation in bahrain when you're criticizing a u.s. ally like bahrain if you're in the press you're not going to be given the air time as much as you would if you're criticizing the assad government that's why this will wash away within days or weeks and you'll get the chance to see julian assange

general living standards because all we've done until now is kind of slash and burn which hasn't helped anything morning continues in russia's republic of dagestan for the victims of those things doubled last tara to venza packed with explosives just twenty minutes apart in the outskirts of the capital my heart even thirteen people dead and more than one hundred wounded parties a memory of talk to the relatives of those who gave their own lives to save others . national mourning dagestan under muslim tradition three days after the funerals family and friends come to the symmetry twice a day to pray and to paris packed to their loved ones over. two massive car bombs hit the capital much collateral thursday claiming more than a dozen lives this freshly dug grave is the final resting place of twenty nine year
