really at times with people singing there at the taj being played in football as well but at some point during the evening about four am we saw some of them trying to move to another area here they met with police among them to problem tied to a selection of only being one answered russian blogger known for some of his nationalist and radical sentiments among those activists also. saw for the head of the left front for the amount of mation of those on the left now he's been arrested on a number of occasions and has since been on hunger strike at times to protest his detention both of those are still being detained by police or three others are also arrested they add up to the over one hundred arrested just shifts that one missionary usury described as a very peaceful set of mass demonstrations that's changed somewhat recently first bird on the back of the parliamentary elections brought

a geisha electoral force and it builds up and based on the build up to the presidential elections now after that same march those read twiddling support they can amass as many people house on the street as they wanted to on sunday just ahead of putin's presidential inauguration we saw another gathering and this was different because here we saw violent clashes with police then we saw those violent clashes the number of protesters injured also quite a significant number being a red. and also there are those police being injured in the proceedings as well alleging that roy and the hell was when pulled from them by some of the violent members within the demonstrators ranks this really symbolizes a bit of a split when it comes to thinking of the protest movement those who want our right change they want the government to step down they want the government to step down those that just want free and fair elections they won't specify say a rerun of the presidential parliamentary elections they could raise reporting there that one of their portion is already busy setting out his strategy for the

next six years while parliament is set to vote on for a president he had a scanner to see as a new prime minister to explain what changes are in store for russia let's now talk to r.t.c. . peter why more important has even had his job back for a twenty four hours yet but has already been keeping himself busy has a name. well that's right president putin has signed several a strategic orders i put you on a series of strategic goal is laying out where his plans lie for the beginning of his third term well these include some major foreign policy issues particularly addressing the the u.s. planned on t. missile defense shield in eastern europe a president who has ordered the russian foreign ministry to get messages to washington to say that they demand a written guarantee missile bases in eastern europe won't be targets in russia

not to be approved also saying that the start treaty must be of he had to. know closer to home we've also heard. the to me of putin wanting to to stamp out corruption at all levels in russian for ticks that one of the ways they're looking to do this is to make sure that every year across in russia has to declare exactly what their income is and in order to make the the. whole political system here the make the make the government more transparent we're going to see the use of technology far more. in it and using government now this of course was something that was put forward by former president the need to be made good evidence seems that not bought sold is going to be picked up by vladimir putin as he enters into is the sermon tries to modernize russia's political system. one of which or even if it is voted in as a new prime minister what can we expect from him in that role. well it's expected

in a very short while that the vote will take place in the parliament which will see the beach he may get of elected as the new prime minister well what we can really expect from looking at his record as president as we can see him trying to modernize and introduce innovation into the into the role now the job of prime minister in russia far more cons it concentrates on domestic politics more than the presidential role something that i think will try and we will see him try and increase the levels of transparency that he brought in during his time as president now looking back at his own words looking back on his time as the president he says that one of his biggest achievements was opening up the political discourse to more people so we could probably expect to see him attempting to do so in a more local government level in a more domestic government level so that modernization in from

a debt of is basically what we can expect from him if he was expected takes over as prime minister later today. all right peter thanks very much indeed for bringing us the dollar there. lot of important was sworn in as the new head of state on monday at an opulent ceremony in moscow and we've got all the highlights online at our dot com so watch the president arriving at the kremlin taking you know with on the constitution. and being welcomed by a thirty one gun salute the grand ceremony was followed by an exquisite lunch. he was at a party over a lot of reporting has a country to rule for in-depth analysis of what's in store for him as he makes his comeback in russia's top job go to our t.v. dot com. there's a new leader in france to were front to alonso victory from nicolas sarkozy on sunday but as he's getting ready to move into the elysee palace the country is waiting for change and assess are silly reports on one will have to find answers

fast. to the old. who the new. press was allowed to ask a victory in the french presidential elections the people here are saying that france is once again peaceful if they're here they have voted for change but the question is how soon are they going to see that change and what kind of threats are they really going to have and the world is asking precisely the same question. is is that people rejected because it would then france but also. for many reasons one of them was his personal arrogance so we can hope but in foreign policy is going to move in the right direction that is less arrogant. be it arrogance or something else there was no hiding nicolas sarkozy eagerness to lead the libyan intervention sending french warplanes in first he of course betrayed himself along those deliberative libya but he kept that extremely quiet.

allegations kept coming out about his relationship with gadhafi the result tonight or it's clear they wanted to stop that kind of policy and that's going about your c.v. t.n.t. tonight it's the the night of hope again you know the march third you can have time to see has created an awful images from this we don't. in divisions within the french society we don't want the bombing of arab countries that we are friends of the arabs this is not done yet it is not. a lot is being branded france's new hope or gadget a task ahead of him to sort through the euro crisis and clean up an image which many think is no longer in line with what's to additional the french while foreign policy took a backseat during the campaign a model did throughout two moves one go head to head with germany's angela merkel on the to go shading the e.u. fiscal pact believe me he will experience in the coming months the the

power of the good i mean the negotiation power of america because america will face an election in one year and will not be willing to compromise we said was a french president and to withdraw french troops from afghanistan a year earlier than planned it's a sign that i think he wants to scale down the foreign policy but i would guess that is going to be more considerate to what is happening in there and the rest of the world and will focus on economic issues within europe at the end of the day all the french really want are jobs and leadership that truly represents them both at home and abroad. tesser so here are two parts. so i have for this hour here in our team fueling debate hillary clinton visits india hoping to ramp up pressure on to iran over its nuclear program and find out whether the second biggest consumer of iranian crude is happy to make concessions. also more victims of

they want unity now syrians have voted in the country first multi-party elections in five decades the government hailed the ballot as a major step towards reform however it was boycott of by the opposition which held protests in stat as r.t. sarah ferguson port's many in the country are wary of the months of conflict and made their choice so as not to see the vote as a missed opportunity. it didn't get the stamp of approval from the opposition huge cooled for a boycott the people did turn out to vote in syria's parliament to elections the elections taking place against the backdrop of instability in the country and the credibility of the vase being called into question with the opposition boycotting

the vote so that that participation the real question is just how serious a change will this election bring to the political landscape in syria and that's what we've been finding out i feel because we have some disturbance and some of this is on the ok we have the to approve that we can move forward and we can overcome this obstacle here to vote for people who are like people who would like to. supports you. say yes for syria. yes for your school good looking because there were no international observers here something some felt should have been an option authorities say the people just think of a thing we're doing so objectively and the monitor at this poll told us there have been a violation so far. everything has been going smoothly people are taking part in their motions with nations more than seven thousand candidates have been buying

public support fourteen million people allowed to vote in syria and they've been trying to gain the support to win one of those two hundred fifty seats that are going to be available in the new parliament fourteen million people were eligible to vote but amongst those not participating will be the tens of thousands of political prisoners and the huge chunks of the population who are now refugees having fled their homes from the violence this is led to serious questions about the legitimacy of the ballots but as international opinion surrounds the political developments in syria one analyst stress that this is a vote for syrians and by syrians. legitimacy comes from the people one. president. to most. of this for him probably. the one

who can declare that president assad is legitimate or illegitimate. lost his legitimacy. his legitimacy the syrians. the rights that is a right that they've been exercising whether it's turning out to cast the ballots or attempting to demonstrate in the streets even amongst those voting there was something he said they felt the elections were. unlikely to bring about any theories change but they said they believe that up to fifteen months of unrest they had to at least try. syria. bahrain's main human rights activists remains behind bars in the country on charges of inciting protests now your job was one of the leaders of the popular uprising and an outspoken critic of the state's royal family was detained late saturday on his arrival from lebanon the arrest occurred just days before his appearance on join a songes show here on our t.v.

or job had posted on his twitter feed that he was going to be interviewed by the famous whistleblower assigned himself believes that's precisely what provoked his arrest on the show that we could be here quizzed him along with an egyptian activist over the revolutions in the arab states london based author and journalist a few times he believed to be over job and his fellow activist have a mountain of challenges to face in the future. if there is no case against him the case against the british and american and european governments that have backing bahrain i don't know i don't know how long julian assange has been under house arrest here in this country without charge but they don't seem to think that they're going to arrest his interviewees very disturbing what's happening to the president of the bahrain center for human rights is not just him more worryingly of course is. no longer strike i understand his daughter who is also being in custody case not coming up till later in the week you know killing people fifty dead in a country that small equates to

a lot of people this is an apartheid state being backed by the obama administration in the years two thousand and two thousand and ten as if seeing what was about to happen in bahrain the obama administration stepped up sales which include equipment used by the authorities in bahrain to suppress the protests and to this is ongoing and they know journalists that the government. the next episode of julian assange just show featuring to be over job is on air today at eleven thirty g.m.t. but here's a little taster a lot of people who have i mean i would be surprised or you should not be surprised to see half of the by the new population coming out didn't want to protest it's still happening it's not happening in any of the revolution what none of that evolution we had in the history in the past fifty years you would see fifty percent of the population of the industry didn't want to protest but you would see in bahrain unfortunately because of the debate is that many countries because of the debate as. chandan is like just like i don't like

europe chandan is that they don't hire at this but this is the reality. speak to two leading revolutionaries one from bahrain where the revolution failed once in egypt where the revolution is now in turmoil what makes a revolution and where is the arab spring going to go. he is attempting to avoid a stitch down where the u.s. over its continued dealings with iran the american secretary of state hillary clinton is in new delhi for high level talks she's so far persuaded the authorities to sharply drop imports of iranian oil in an attempt to pressure the islamic state over its converse all nuclear program are just creator has the details. iran has dominated this discussion of hillary clinton's visit in india her visit actually happens to coincide with the trade a coalition from tehran that is trying to encourage india to continue buying

iranian oil obviously that's not what washington wants they recently imposed an oil embargo along with the e.u. on iran over its controversial nuclear program the west believes obviously that iran is developing nuclear weapons and iran has maintained that it has a peaceful nuclear program india along with several other countries like china japan and south korea aren't following on the thing they actually have been through those four countries account for sixty percent of iran's oil customers so a lot of people are saying that things aren't going to work unless washington can get these asian countries on board here with me to talk more about hillary clinton's visit and the issue on iran with washington if professor k.p. to me if you can first of all explain to me why you think this has become such a contentious issue between washington and delhi and we even had president obama saying that countries that continue to engage with iran and by iranian oil could

potentially be punished by the united states and there could even be sanctions in the future for india what's your take india's position has been clear has been saying that we would do a diplomatic pressure and therefore the united states now says well this is pressure and this is what we want to do with pressure so now we've got to say what do we think is partly possible for pressure india's idea of pressure would mean the to talk to the iranians and then continue to find a way out of the civilian nuclear pact the two can meet with the iranians on the basis of their n.p.t. membership but also the iranians to come out with some trees that can help us but the real story is it is already reduced to it's all in the ball. and we have time i mean we have really some more time. june before the. policy of american sanctions so unless we. should mention that you know it has been granted of even to order possible i want to thank you so much for your time and it's certainly the

interesting to watch what happens after these meetings are all over i'm going to be following hillary clinton's visit to india for the rest of the day and i'll keep you guys updated on that. are there now is take a look at some other stories from around the world the cia claims of florida and ohio a plot to bomb an airliner on the first anniversary of the killing of osama bin laden involved a bomb concealed in underwear that was to be detonated aboard a passenger jet a similar scheme was used in december two thousand and nine but failed when the explosives didn't detonate properly now information has been released about the status or identity of that would be bomber. really prime minister and opposition have reached an agreement following all night to go she asians to avoid snap elections they now plan to form a unity government with benjamin netanyahu his party on monday netanyahu brought the date for the poll forward to september fourth accusing the opposition of blackmail and populism. the afghan president has said the recent nato killings of

civilians could hinder of peace pact he signed with barack obama last week the agreement covers the long term u.s. role in afghanistan after its planned withdrawal in twenty fourteen the move comes after an airstrike by coalition forces killed fourteen people and injured six others in the country's northwest doesn't have died in the past few days and nato airstrikes. mortar shells have landed on a crowded neighborhood of somalia's capital four members of one family died in one house two other people were killed nearby and a child died after suffering wounds caused by shrapnel it was not immediately clear who was behind the shelling much of mogadishu has been relatively peaceful over the past year but indiscriminate mortar and bomb attacks still take place. two police officers have gone on trial in the u.s. accused of beating to death a homeless man as he cried out for help it's the latest in a spate of police brutality cases but as artist marie aboard now reports many in

the u.s. feel justice is not being served. so you were two thousand and twelve shooting death of teenager trayvon martin when marley graham was shot and killed inside his home two unarmed african-american teenagers in two separate states succumb to the same fate in florida trayvon martin was carrying candy when he was gunned down by neighborhood watch volunteer george zimmerman a bronze teenager being pursued by police moments before he was killed in new york city where marley graham was standing in his bathroom when he was shot in the chest by a plainclothes narcotics officer who forced himself into the home without a warrant the eighteen year old was not in possession of a gun or drugs and according to n.y.p.d. officials the thirty year old cop who pulled the trigger lacked the proper training to work in his assigned unit two months have passed and there have been no charges in connection with the killing the lack of training in the situation is in a lack of respect for the community so you're patrolling that allows an officer to

sort of act in a unauthorized and disciplined outside the guidelines manner which in essence is acting like a cowboy you know we're not in the wild west the fatal police shooting of a sixty eight year old ex marine kenneth chamberlain sr was the u.s. war veteran who fell victim to unnecessary deadly police force last november the sixty eight year old was tasered and shot by officers who responded to a false alarm from a medical alert pendant chamberlain reportedly instructed the officers to leave before they broke his door down an investigation into his killing remains on going to off the police are putting themselves in situations where violence becomes a more likely outcome and this is the result often of overly aggressive policing policies the exact number of americans killed by overly aggressive policing remains unknown because the u.s. department of justice does not require police departments to report fatal shooting

statistics meanwhile the. york city police department the world's largest has refused to release internal reports on police shootings from one thousand nine hundred six through two thousand and six until you begin holding those officers accountable until when they commit certain acts they actually go to jail or they lose their pensions you're going to have a resistance because they feel sometimes that they can commit these acts with impunity meaning that they know that other than a few headaches or hiccups nothing is really going to happen to them which is why we bring cases and actions against the officers i think. persistent use of police tasers is also being blamed for the death of five hundred people in the u.s. since two thousand and one around here have according to amnesty international dozens of deaths can be traced to unnecessary force oh the. policies for taser use vary from state to state. experts say it's time for washington to

create strict national guidelines to protect the public bar. from police growing trigger happy with electric shock devices this would help clarify things both for police departments and also frankly would strengthen the hands of people who want to bring litigation against the police for civil rights violations because it would show it would provide a standard that they could use for challenging these local police practices critics claim that justice is rarely served when those who kill turn out to be u.s. police officers in many instances leaving the very people entrusted with in forcing a law well protected when they violate her in upper nile artsy new york. bobbie back in just a few minutes with a recap our top story so stay with us here on r.t. .
