well our resident to do a commentator cross talk host of course will go show so we should say here somebody knows full well what goes on in the kremlin if you've seen. the show inside and it's great there's a lot of inside information that we're going to show my skills today we're going to talk to you but i can tell you you speak in the next hour and a half or so but actually you know if we can start first of all with you people come and talk about the hardware aspects of this in a second but it is going to be very lovely three thousand people who we're hearing that. maybe somebody wouldn't particularly expect to be there but he is silvio berlusconi a lot of big names. what are they going to be seeing today we're going to be treated to how this event sort of pan out first of all schwarzenegger and berlusconi are very close personal friends of putin but as for the inauguration itself it always takes place in kremlin and that's where the president leaves the ceremony itself is almost identical to two to the previous one and always to say what comes afterwards we never know for example when put in was sworn in the second

time he came out in the cathedral square which is like the main square in kremlin and he was presented to the to the guards to this regiment i don't know if it's going to happen this time because he knows that pretty well at this point because he's been already present two times so we don't know what's going to happen afterwards but a lavish dinner definitely forward and people are talking about the menu today carvey are. going to be russian only russian yeah i think it's i think it's a fusion because i know the chef actually who is the main chef of the kremlin and he's french and he tries to always combine french with russian like he meets actually yeah so i think the caviar and the fried scallops is a french russian fusion thing going on there today and then we're going to see the presidential motorcade go through this past gates that's the main entrance of the kremlin and it only opens for the inauguration and for the one to meet great and then we're going to see the president and prime minister go through the palaces halls in georgia. aleksandr said andrea but it's better if we talk over the

pictures. and preview pictures just to see these all these latest live pictures you're already got you could see everyone's already gathered there the event due to start in about five minutes or so as soon as it happens we're going to cross why the let's stay on these pictures from there you don't see as well as in the lovely picture you can. see the. russian can reach since this is essentially going to visit you probably yes this palace is one of the biggest and largest in its plan during of this scale i can tell you viciously three towns that my chain know and what with the weight now it's as big as a football field metres really impressive i've been inside well ok i'm told it is starting well let's let's. go over this now and again but we want to let you get the full feeling of it as well as we can let it breathe a little we do hope you enjoy the next hours coverage so.

but. my what you had there was the announces saying to ladies and gentlemen beginning the inauguration no ceremony for the russian president vladimir putin it's. going to try my best to translate and talk over this obviously you're hearing the russian coverage there the. russian state television channel and i've got the transcript there small talk you through it the flag bearers marching through the halls of same georgia sure the same day alexander saying down with the russians go there because it helps the president in placing the flags on the. skin surface it reaches. the border the start of the uniform and the remarks or some one end of it period. war egypt will close. when napoleon invaded russia it was if you did this

year we mark the any burst of your bill street battles. that she's. lost but if that. was our ally carolina in the sink you will see that those three halls they leave into each other one into another. and they say that this year march. the composer even offer a cabbage this is terrible uniform but if those chaps are wearing is wrong reflecting i'm told much of russia is well you can see the austrians uniforms the glorious military. color resembling uniform was of one of the oldest elite regiments of the russian army formed by peter the great is the late seventies censuring and the style of the uniform of headgear they were. in the style of the

war of eighteen twelve when the poland invaded russia was defeated most of the get this year marking the two hundredth anniversary of those great falls just in case people were wondering why those cards are carrying two flags well first flag is obvious to the flag the russian federation and the other one is the presidential standard now they are original presidential standard is always kept in the president's office and it has a silver plate bearing the letters name differences that the presidential standard has to question to have it eagle emblem on it on the history of. nine hundred ninety four dozen or so from salute lee. think then there will be a presidential standard change to an image a slightly different image of the double headed eagle superimposed against the three and we've seen that for the last twenty years in beijing of new traditions you know this is something right the new russia is still a very young state i'll talk about its economy and its politics later. so your own

country. so here comes to copy of the russian constitution that's always held in kremlin library and especially is taken up for the inauguration ceremony. so let's just bring up the music a little bit here i'm not sure we get the music without the russian commentary let's try and just get a bit of a flavor of it. when it. suits their passing through st george's hall right now it is the biggest haul out of the three halls where the ceremony takes place. now we see plenty of show business stars and writers an academician interest as long as we're getting the body to an event like this so i think i think if we are built on it is there are going to talk i think is a representative a challenge represented because all the others are in a studio right now it's the kremlin square so red square and of course it's not

only celebrities of course sort of the leadership supposed chambers of the russian parliament the chairman of committees commissions or factions they're all the also the judges of the constitutional heads of the supreme court of the supreme of the tradition going to read some of this news because it is important to be representative of the major right regions in russia today indeed russian orthodox church who do. represent these conflicts members of the jewish community we've been joined. now this book being carried so if you want to read my the constitution and that stays in the kremlin library all the time it is only taken out for the inauguration ceremony now the honor guards are taking this call place through the halls of the three holes to the same hall where the inauguration itself takes place and they're going to put this copy in front of where president putin is going to take his speech make a speech and he will that is going to be mishandled the constitution will. well you

know as an interim between inventive about your side as we saw president is going to be on his side also we're going to have. the anchor on his side and she is they had. questions federation council and we're going to also have they had a precious constitutional council on his side and that's that but just a normal tradition every time president is out here rated those two plus the previous president have to be on the side so you want to go we've got an hour to talk over this. we don't know heard of using too much so why don't we go to get rid of the or the russian translation the russian that was a bit distracting we've never gotten the full feed of this let's listen in short get a bit of the flavor of this and will come back and talk in a second and i said that just as they stopped. but he. said i was exactly announcer.

they had reached council going to be federation council. because she was before that in charge as she was governor off simply that's right a while i was representatives of both houses of parliament that you should serve the incoming calls with your mum and i was there rushed. out of the parliament. this is what you're not supposed to do you know that your the russia party being the rule you know i mean you know the question more than having a constitutional chairman. of the russian. foreign ministry deal that is you know the head of the court here. now while all this is happening guys which is dmitri medvedev what is he coming to i think to me to read this is. going to leave. his residence i think she was last

the kremlin residence and first go and listen to his regiment for the last time because the president i think we were. going to get you through he's leaving the building this is where this plays and i got you into the call you're driving along . and i believe the central. square yeah i know where he's going to talk about this is our job and it's our candidate has actually never been used in a war we don't really see right now we're seeing the kremlin walls which articulate meters long if anyone was wondering your wealth of information you're going to have your. twenty seven minutes to go around kremlin time to running a walk a fast walk it was really what i think is really interesting here these pictures tell us about the transition of power here sometimes you see a week it's never been used in wars but it's probably the last caliber largest

caliber arm in the world things and you just look at. the record for that again something else that you would know every day. so so ok we see this now and he's going to go into the presidential presents you are a presidential presidential guards are basically in charge of protecting the president in the kremlin and protecting the kremlin and also protect state turn and fire at the tomb of the unknown soldier this man are really impressive young man i can tell you they do their job very well yeah you drop a piece of red square absolutely absolutely and they're hand picked from all over the new shirts to their very handsome very well bred well educated perfect background you can you can basically say that the presidential regiment is the elite of russia at this point it may be for american viewers what we are going to have secret service with some of their. i think whichever you see here we have a great deal we have now we see the president coming out.

has lost a lot this year as he and the story was of the coast were watching now coverage this morning of years if they've just joined this where. again this is the last time that. three days of as president and commander in chief. will be addressing not addressing but actually taking the address of the commander in chief of their presidential regiment. and we're going to hear president medvedev speak shortly as well hopefully we've got that translated into english for you and if not we'll do our level best to translate it will so for you left to do that for us but so i don't think it will we we've got the translation for that much should be happening in iran right now. the russian federation the kremlin regiment is ready for your ego.

that has to do the dishes. good morning comics good morning comrade president yesterday was established i suspect. thank you and all of our servicemen for your service. ready to serve the russian federation.

right says just say good morning soldiers says we heard the regular responded saying good morning comrade president thank you very much. and he said thank you for your service and they responded back saying ready to russia is walking along the lines of regiments and he's going up to the what's called the red poor sophia shark you've got me there carol right. but hey well next on the list of course the incoming going right now into the kremlin into the grand kremlin palace i think it's called the empty room he's going into. it right here and he will wait president elect. to. mr putin who i'm told reliably in my is of course on his way he'll be arriving very shortly.

beautiful day for it as well looking at the weather. but it was tops off a splendid day like this is of course it isn't ready to go. the weather today lovely for absolutely couldn't be a better but. you know it's very interesting thinking you know these two men that have been the center of russian political life and they've known each other for over twenty years we've called it the tandem and it really is a tandem because now we're going to have the other part of the tandem coming back. over the last four four years if if there was any friction between them but you know i mean they're different men they're different men from different generations and they may have different outlooks but i think they have the national interests of this country at heart so i think that is the biggest difference here is. that amir putin. of course the kremlin is no stranger to him. on

what he's thinking i think you know i think he's got a lot on his mind i mean the first eight years when he was president he had a lot of work to do but it was extensive growth now this country needs intensive growth it needs a lot of reform he's aware of that he's even pointed out as a tommy's as prime minister he realized just how hard it is to run the economy of this country and the reform this country so he learned a lot as prime minister. mr me did of which will take that position very very soon a matter of hours he knows our position very well on how to run the country so i mean this is something the tandem for what people say actually works in these two men worked very closely together they're not everyone in this country is satisfied with a. lot of the putin won the election with sixty four percent of the vote that is a landslide by any standard. he's described as a tough job before indeed he is he described big tough draw. a very different place today going to was when he was president before and i think he recognizes

that i mean in the addresses he's made since the election i think he's profoundly aware of the agenda that he has to pursue it's not going to be an easy six years just to describe. that place there it's called white house the seat of power that's where he's been for the last four years that's where he's been working of course as prime minister that's not very far from the kremlin it's probably two three minute right it's on the puter phone bank. capital. and he's probably going to be in cramming within twenty minutes and then president or outgoing president visits will be sitting in a white house after that an important takes that was. i think it's really remarkable how much this country has changed over the last four years and this is a lot of the speculation in western media as mr putin there is a new russia which is mr putin up with the new russia i think he is but he's going to have to prove it and we have a lot more voices. now in politics or not more different opinions which is all very

good i think mr putin is painfully aware of that and when he's going to have to react to it there are more voices to react to that's healthy for a democracy like russia is a very young democracy. a lot of people of course kind of would enjoy this now we'll talk about it in just a second so i know you're champing at the. question where the. president elect is you know when president putin does take the helm and talk about what's ahead. what is he proposing i think you know again people are not everyone is going to like it he is a man of stability and reform and it's a slow growing process we have to remember twenty years ago i came to this country this place twenty years ago was a real mess even the biggest critics of mr putin will admit the country has changed for the better but there's so much more that needs to be done and look the western world is in absolute crisis right now what would happen mr. ok and we have stability here this is one of the reasons russians voted for vladimir putin they want stability they want growth but they want more reform i don't know she has to

find the right balance between to look ahead to look to the future as well of course the big the big question. in a way for. export of energy and minerals and. he certainly has a handle and i mean mr putin probably knows more about energy going anywhere else in the country and we have the eurozone crisis on one side ok. so if you were away at the moment there are about there were no where but it was like one of the main avenues in moscow probably the fifth work or shows that is there in france so. he's on his way to the. crowd and they have ten minutes and then we're going to see this market pass through spassky and i'll tell you more about the ones that passes that was open until a couple of years ago yeah it was it was open during that sars times and everyone. passed through but you couldn't pass through it was a poor spec or

a hat on it and legend has it that probably and when he was on the force in eight hundred twelve you know i mean it's not a great church or ok but it's true because he was in front of the gate and we were told he's famous unicorn hat because he wouldn't take it off. and from the new millennium the gates are close for the motor transport and for pedestrians but they opened for the presidential nomination but it's a beautiful shot of the cricketers and looking out the that's the main square of the kremlin and you have a couple of cathedrals surrounding it some of the cathedrals still have church services regular people and pray absolutely and they have is church services and christmas services there are special hours just going to do for twelve years but every time it goes against your history it's an absolutely beautiful absolutely really looks of. the dogs it's a stupid question i'm going to say i don't go there all gold plated everything in

kremlin is gold plated so that you guys know i don't know how many tons of gold are needed for the rooms but i do know that for the chimes twenty six tons of gold are needed to plate it to look self to just like just people you know the ones i wanted i had like just because i just find out how incredible it is like you look at kremlin as a beautiful statue and then you go inside and you meet the people who keep the kremlin going to show there's no more sort of things to do at least we don't know so i mean it's almost like statue comes alive because it for them presidents come and go but kremlin is like the sacred heart they really take care of a generation from generation to generation and. the world you toss to. the people in the west it's coming maybe had unfriendly to decide what you know i would be the place it's very majestic seriously it's very majestic it's beautiful very nice place to live in that much i can tell you. i haven't been everywhere obviously

but this whole sort of scene that what the integration takes place it's probably and i've been around the world a lot it's probably one of the most beautiful places ever been and it's probably as beautiful as if not of the people that work there the people that are responsible for the flags for the for the lighting for keeping those gold gleaming they probably were very proud and that's one thing for them president is like this is of second importance for them the most important thing is keeping the kremlin clean and save and scratch list and usually most of them that i met the whole custodians for example they go mother to daughter i mean they know every inch of the room by heart and the history of it and we should modeling our viewers what this is you know this is the motorcade. to the credit this is of course played the third time a little bit putin has been through an inauguration ceremony first small in this russia's leader back in the year two thousand views showing pictures of. course it was sixty years ago but it looks so much younger one of these still pretty good

shape i mean in the p.r. people show him to be in very good shape not everyone in the likes the p.r. effect that they have had on the prime minister but i mean she's very very very good health he's got six years ahead of him this time of course and a lot has to be done and i think it's really point out to our viewers here this is the only american here you can actually take a boat on the embankment go up and down you can see three hundred years of history of moscow on the boat and i did that a few weeks and weekends ago it's absolutely beautiful and you get the best view like a comic shop but it will you never get tired of it even if you live here all your life and you know and i think that you know he's got to be putin sees a lot of history there russian history is very tragic a lot of terrible things have happened here and he has a lot of on his shoulders again and i do not again with the russian people have an enormous amount of confidence in me or putin not everyone in the country particularly in this city but our country wide basis he is. by far the most popular figure in this country and no one even gets close not even to the current president

he's already had people are expecting extremely tough changes as far as corruption fighting goes do you believe that's what's going to happen well i think you know this is one of the things that keeps russia and holds russia back i mean we've all lived here and we've all seen the corruption and i can agree with protesters that are against corruption i think western media overrates the protests saying it's anti putin no it's anti a lot of the petty bureaucrats that really hold this country back and we all see it on a daily basis and it really is annoying and i'm glad people are going out to protest legally protests not to break the law like we saw yesterday where there's a small number of troublemakers don't want to. destroy this event that we're seeing right now they didn't succeed in doing it of course but reform is the main word of the next six years and i think to use putin gets it because if he doesn't do it he will lose more confidence from the people and he understands that i've said here and r.t. for seven years is that what i mean putin carries with the russian people think

that what western countries need right now we've turned the corner the motorcade so if you were so we were approaching this basket right now we'll be there in seconds time so just to give you an overview again spassky is the main entrance to. four o'clock above us the clock about it and the amazing part also is that i can that's been there since day sixteenth century probably got a closer shot once we make a turn and it disappears during the soviet era i can disappear during the soviet era and it only was rediscovered during the reckless direction like a year ago under a layer of plaster where some. religious man actually hit it during soviet times so they wouldn't demolish it completely. so you know you corning's were demolished ok right there we go in that is the very very. you're talking about you know inside the crippler inside of kremlin going to work in the

presidential palace. this place looks really different in summer than when i was there winter it's amazing how quickly the leaves grow here without it when spring comes it's not much of a spring. understand the you for you we have are not is not like it's exactly right know that shortly. will be. receiving a talking to the kremlin coming to the crimean reporting to vladimir putin we're. going to have some more formality and again they're driving up towards a beautiful inside is now so you never know what's going to happen after the inauguration like i said you say that but i thought this was kind of a fixed. ceremony itself is a fixed menu but what the president elected after taking over it's completely up to his we've seen a different variations the last two election cycles. he's president of a lot of us a. good history being made his decision i think your story is being

made i mean again when we look at the world around us i mean there's an enormous amount of chaos we have that the arab awakening we have the euro crisis we have a lot of things going on and here's a man that a lot of people in russia the majority two thirds believe he's here to keep this country safe and continue the prosperity that we've seen over the last decade and you. know this is the bit of pomp and ceremony i was talking about. the state. i believe we're hearing in march by very famous composer. called scream. so why don't we are going. to take off his march right now. get a full. this now for a second. and this march is always played when

a new president comes into the presidential palace to take an oath. this is st george's hall where all the guests are ready. to get out see president they meet later we really should be a give me treated. alleging

that each. blood my puter.
