you're watching r.t.m. to say let's take a look at the stories at this hour from solange has all said 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 our correspondent tessa celeste 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 because sarkozy is now the eleventh e.u. leader to be swept from power since the crisis started putting forth this add to your 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 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 part bar it's

a little long 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 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 went in france it's a 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 will 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 pressure is going to be with france warlord as their new president. as we just heard from our correspondent along has promised iraq to reforms in france but french taxpayers will again be the

ones to tighten their belts to fulfill his obsessions plans that's according to alex coble spokesman for the center points dot news website french voters. a choice between a man no longer wanted circusy and a man they didn't really want out of the proviso a lot of things he promised new public jobs in in education nearly sixty so. he praised a raise in the minimum wage decrease in the in the pension in the pension age figure is like twenty billion additional expenses he plans to finance this twenty billion by 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 as socialists triumph in france and greece the elections have seen fashions making big gains as the sitting government takes a kicking from voters furious over economic hardship. 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 the most stuff demonstration gets of voters rejecting the assertive imposed by european leaders. just as vladimir putin prepares to take office a russian fugitive is offering big money for his arrest exiled a russian tycoon better walski is reportedly offering a bounty to anyone who detains putin at the inauguration ball correspondent our correspondent eva bennett has the 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 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'll be in breach of the constitution because he claims that the wording around someone can run for president of the time is very very good at the moment 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 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 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. journalists done things it's entirely possible

better as off his ideas i inspired overseas 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 bloody may have putin say now gratian is now just a few hours away saddam forget to join us and seven thirty g.m.t. in the morning plus special coverage of the event from the stunning splendor of the

kremlin skulls. a position activists have clashed with police in central moscow after define orders to move to the officially agreed location for their reading the anti-government protest at the march of millions last time before the evil vladimir putin's presidential inauguration is a god of peace cannot has details. the rally itself originally was pretty peaceful

until one of the radical leaders of the opposition i said if you 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 if t.v. scenes 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 seen 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 are going to lose 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. everyone sick and tired of it 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. tear gas used either but due to the aggressive behavior two hundred fifty people were arrested including three opposition leaders including sigil guards often blogger

aleksey. no one in the 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 peskov says that even though there were indeed demonstrations against the president elect this size and scale has been greatly the plane by international media to the contrary the amount of those. or willing to produce it really is decreasing and decreasing quite significantly or it's very very marginal are. part of moscow right there amount of it's quite insignificant big cannot be compared with a one who would take part in actions and demonstrations there are industry were already being done by the government when international and i have a tendency to or the jury we are or are nearly

a card from the general trend of your money the asian or for me couldn't prove to be their name make them their developing and changing the first american politician in a state and you get there with his country. and elsewhere in moscow supporters of the government and political establishment have been marking the anniversary of the popular front movement created by vladimir putin last year our correspondent was the. because and supporters of course are proper primarily those who are comprising the popular france which is the liberating it's one hears that a verse three today the organization was formed on the initiative all that's been put in in order to bring together all those who were not participating in any political parties were not members of any political parties but still wonders at one point 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 because it highlights the flags there saying victory

and good sense together because people here are primarily those who support the government and everything that is operating in the country right now at the moment . this and other stories are available at our website at r.t. dot com also online no engine and those green brick currently on trial for killing over seventy people somehow appears on a finish called billboard apparently because he was mistakenly included in the club's banned list find out how that happened on line. and a mass distribution of free copies of a koran in berlin is described as freedom of religion 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 that bill 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 a on our team the civil rights leader was already facing charges for participating in protests against the government and was returning to bahrain for sunday court hearing the uprising has been ongoing for fourteen months now with a predominantly shiite population protesting against the sunni ruling dynasty patrick having been added to the website in forewards dot com says that genuine human rights activists like libya will reject stand out because they're willing to criticize bahrain's western allies. mr rajab is significant. in the human rights. lobby or has been arrested in the past has been detained has been forcibly tortured so this should come as no surprise. with the western press

is out of the country there's less room for them to true. really zeroing 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 power they're more likely to be a legitimate human rights organization and not manipulated one 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 what this will wash away with in days or weeks and you'll get the chance to see julian assange his exclusive interview with not bill read javelin choose day here on r t.

i speak to two leading revolutionaries one from bahrain where the revolution failed was in egypt where the revolution is now in turmoil what makes a revolution and where is the arab spring going to go. the neo nazi 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 while about the required three percent threshold economic analysts an international lawyer and make a square because a believes that greeks want to punish the governing parties for not paying attention to the people's wants and needs. 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 ghettos springing up in many areas of athens now this particular group has been shop enough to understand that it's vigilantes on the streets protecting us. 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 after the changes that we've seen in france now know as well and the political landscape shifting massively in greece and the general feeling across europe i think austerity will have to be turned down there may be ways to cut deficits through reducing waste but from there on the european population is not willing to stand for something like this they want a reasonable quality of life they want the rich to pay their share as well and they don't want an economic policy that doesn't focus on unemployment growth and general living standards because all we've done up to now is cut slash and burn
