twenty four hours a day seven days a week of this is r t thank you for tuning in france all along has ousted nicolas a cozy from the french presidency to become the country's first socialist president in seventeen yes it was a close call winning just fifty one percent of the vote against his rivals forty nine correspondent tessa 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 for a 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 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 what is a heavily taxed big corporations and rich and the vigils the psycho's 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 specious 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 a great apart so early at setting 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 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 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.

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 promise a raft of reforms in france but french taxpayers will again be the ones to tighten their belts to fulfill his ambitious plans that's according to alex kobold spokesman for the qantas centrepoint news website. french voters. chose between a man no longer wanted sarkozy and a man they didn't really want to see promise a lot of things he promised new public jobs in in education nearly sixty so. a rise in the minimum wage or a 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 the rich 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 in greece at the elections have seen fascism making big gains as a sitting government takes a taking from voters furious over economic hardships. later in the program we see how the extreme nationalist golden dawn carty looks better and to the quick comment for the first time in the very strong demonstration yet voters rejected the authority of imposed by the e.u. leaders. just as vladimir putin prepares to take office a russian fugitive is offering big money for his arrest exiled a russian tycoon boris a better bosky is reportedly offering a bounty to anyone who detains putin at the immigration 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 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 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 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's 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 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 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 britain won't extradite him and so 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 thinks it's entirely possible bears 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 the outlandish atlanta tends to restrict the free press from the british courts that's pretty high up and so i think 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. then vladimir

putin's integration is now just a few hours away so don't forget to join us from seven thirty g.m.t. in the morning my special coverage of the event from the stunning splenda of the comments halls. opposition activists have clashed with police in central moscow off to define orders to move to their officially agreed location for their reading the

anti-government protests dubbed the march of millions was time for the evil vladimir putin's presidential inauguration t.s.a. you got a piece cannot has the details. the a rally itself originally was pretty peaceful until one of the radical leaders of the opposition i said you guys of called on the crowd to move away from the authorized area and gathered at another spot not agreed with the authorities the police tried blocking the crowd due to safety 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 going 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 do you feel that 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 to keep it going to lose we look to the protests out of control there's nothing good in this we need to try and find peaceful solutions to all problems. jim plug 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. why me who is now calling in his twitter account for people to go to war and sanctions just rallies. despite a lot of coverage a spokesman dmitri peskov 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 or it's very very marginal. part of moscow right but there amount of it is is quite insignificant it cannot be compared with a one who would take part in actions and demonstrations there are in

a free world of already being done by the government when our international anchor have a tendency to or the jury heard it as we or an early car from the general trend of their money is asian or for britain proved to be their manic developing and changing personality or politician estates banding together with his country and elsewhere in moscow all supporters of the government and political establishment to have been marking the anniversary of the popular front movement created by vladimir putin last year our correspondent irina was the. listen supporters of course are pro primarily those who are comprising the popular frauds which is celebrity as one hears that a verse three today the organization was formed on the initiative called let's have listen in order to bring together all those who were not participating in any political parties were not members of any political parties but still won just 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 the we're here today to have the flags there saying victory and woods and together because people here are primarily those who support the government and everything that is happening in the country right now at the moment. this and other stories available at a website and r.t. dot com also online you know we've been there and it was a brave a kind human trial for killing over seventeen people some fellow appears on a finished talking team bilbo and apparently because he was mistakenly included in the club's a fan list find out how that happened online. and a mass distribution of free copies of the koran in berlin is described as freedom of religious expression by those behind it but others feel 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 now bill ridge aab a key figure in the opposition to the ruling regime was arrested days before his interview by the world's top whistleblower julian assange just to to and our team the civil rights leader was already facing charges for 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 a predominantly shiite population protesting against the sunni ruling dynasty patrick henningsen editor of the website info rules dot com says that general human rights activists like my being a job stand out because they're willing to criticize bowie'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 a way they're more likely to be legitimate human rights organizations not manipulated one through mr rajab because i believe guy's 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 day you'll get the chance to see julian

assange just exclusive interview with bill read job and choose stay here on our. i speak to two leading revolutionaries one from bahrain where the revolution failed was 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 left in this organization has won between six and eight percent of the vote well above the required three percent threshold economic analyst and international lawyer nick us great because i believe that greeks a want to punish the governing parties for not paying attention to the people's once the 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 to get i was springing up in many areas of athens now this particular group has been shopped enough to understand that it's vigilantes on the streets protecting parks. 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 try to use the two large parties after the changes that we've seen in france now as well and the political landscape shifting massively in greece and the general feeling across europe i think austerity will have to be toned 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 till now is kind of slash and burn which hasn't helped anything morning continues in russia's republic of dagestan for the victims of thursday's double blast tara to events part with explosives blew up just twenty minutes apart in the outskirts of the capital. leaving thirteen people dead and more than one hundred wounded autism area for national 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 and over. to massive car bombs hit the capital on thursday claiming more than a dozen lives this freshly dug grave is the final resting place of twenty nine year

a sad fact that the recent attacks on the police and authorities in darkest on a merely the latest incident in a long running history of violence in russia's volatile caucasus region but thursday's tragedy has already become the most devastating in months the first explosion took off here when officers from this police post stopped the car for documents checked apparently the driver was a suicide bomber minutes later as many police cars and ambulances teams and emergency crews and fire brigades reach the area the second last occurred it was much more powerful you can. see the crater is huge one some reports say the second last had a force of one hundred kilos into intake will and i don't claim to the most victims the double attack one wal-mart or another is a tactic commonly used by international terrorist organizations such as and qaeda in places like iraq and afghanistan is designed to kill as many people as possible

of the that they carried through the streets of damascus a few rules the people who were killed on that the station they here's the story you've got the military the security watching this is at the same time as the u.n. observers are supposed to be here overseeing the peace plan and in our early in the day we've joined the u.n. observers on one of the daily to is to flash point areas. of the city been traveling to some of the areas where the focus is by things being frayed and you can see on the ground smooth slow steps are being taken in the observers are really going to be one thing 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 calm and 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 long in situations much

a resolution won't happen overnight 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 a scenes like this would 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 sara for our city damascus. i'll be back with a recap of your headlines in just a couple of moments and then it's over to peter lavelle and crosstalk.
