live in moscow reforms are on the way for russia when putin back at the helm for a third. mr putin already busy though setting out his strategy for the next six years while parliament is set to vote on former president medvedev scandal to see as the new prime minister expect to explain what changes are in store for russia let's not talk to. starting a life by force now in central moscow distant to see you peter mr putin has already settled into his new job a familiar job at that but he has been busy outlining his policies hasn't. called president putin has signed say a series of strategic orders chiefly among these concerning foreign policy looking at the proposed u.s. on time missile defense shield now he's ordered the foreign ministry to demand from washington written confirmation that any missile sites won't be targeted out of russia vladimir putin also saying that the start treaty must be and he had to close

it a home among the series of of orders there was signed concerned bills to tackle corruption in russia by making bureaucrats to clear all of their income as well as trying to increase transparency through the the use of the internet using the internet for such a thing was actually a person idea of dimitri made get it so it seems that to me a putin's going to continue with not to be timid himself is expected to be named as the prime minister later on tuesday now we can find out a little bit more about the goings on with russia's political big guns and their plans and i am joined by political analyst igor. thank you very much and by senior. economist. liesl this is the right answer great thank you very much we saw globe are going to start with you and to me a putin as the president again it's not new territory for him but what new challenge. just really facing the notion of the putting is the interface there

syria's a new challenge years and the first challenges are in the internal policy there's a new generation of younger people who don't remember their ninety and in the nineteen years and grown up in the years two thousand and allegedly reporting on the current the military and their decon on the growth and people who are use to economic development russia they demand more freedom the way they understand and if talking about their foreign policy. saw russia also faces a multiple challenge and first of all the security once the engine was silent defense system being developed in europe and also. there that means that your american understands administration which is if obama loses the election so there's a number of serious challenges but you know what it will have to face in the coming year and just quickly if you can they'd seems there to meet you may get of will be

named as the next prime minister of russia what changes can we see from the meet you made the end of the prime minister from the meet you may get if the president you know has shown himself as a perfect economist and of course here he had a lot of experience in the russian government before he was elected president and you know his four years of presidency and that was a period of harsh economic crisis in the world and you know russia past the turmoil in the village of internal stability and our economy actually in. their role why it isn't in so i think there are maybe being a prime minister is a perfect place for me to meet him given his experience and economy where you mentioned the economy then that's the perfect time to bring in mr leeson ball and there's been some plans put forward by to me a proven con some plans concerning lowering house prices raising wages for doctors and for teachers how is the country going to be able to afford these changes. there

are several ways one is obviously the greater efficiency in state spending and the anti-corruption measures that have been pursued variously that will be pursued pursued we're going forward i think this is going to be certainly one of the most important sources another one the recent decision by the government to raise taxes on the gas sector and this is certainly going to be a significant contribution in the near term and then of course privatization privatization is tremendous one of the key priorities for the next several years. ministration expected. to privatization. in the course of possibly even this year and then finally and so forth source of financing if the russians will those our. early one hundred fifty billion dollars worth of reserves and this is yet another source of potential money. kate thank you very much gentlemen thank you to both of

you for coming to talk to me in such horrific weather so russia's political big guns in terms of president vladimir putin and former president dmitri medvedev looking to the future and how that they can develop and bring russia on leaps and bounds. of life in a central moscow thank you. want to ask peter was saying i reforms are underway for russia with mr putin back at the helm for a third he want to majority vote in the presidential election in march but his return to power how's not being without opposition activists also marched on his inauguration day protests turning into overnight citizens from the scene oxys jake agrees reports. it's a new setting for a senshi was becoming a mass protest originally located in other areas central moscow it was in our state by riot police earlier today now people initially gathered after a tweeter is

a leased by alexei no bounty program to opposition activists he asked me which is send in the early hours of the morning to central moscow a couple of hundred did just that it's quite a peaceful demonstration that we've seen going on for some time now so many people singing and they're avoiding largely chanting any political slogans as they know this could lead to a rest and this is an on the sanctioned demonstration now early in the hours of this demonstration a couple trying to move on their they were met by police among them alexina valley recent problems opposition activists and also known for his house views when it comes to nationalism also sergio down sort of like problems again when it comes to this movement head of the left front of each even it comes to organizing demonstrations both of those as well as three other people were detained by police for their actions there since being released and we have seen them in attendance here today at the moment they're saying that they will keep doing this pattern of

moving on to different places if they keep being ousted from those locations by police how do what recently said demonstration movement was known for being very peaceful mass demonstrations very peaceful in central moscow there spurred on by the parliamentary election down the presidential elections with allegations of actual fraud but after march to support the windows somewhat in numbers on sunday just ahead of rather may putin's presidential inauguration we saw them again turning out on mass there though there was a different tone because things proceed is turning violent with injuries sustained by protesters also by the police as well they allege that some demonstrators were trying to. they're. leading to certain degrees of injuries this really highlights the fractures in the opposition movement. those cooling change to the government system over the change of those who rule those. free and fair elections that

they allege. during the. presidential elections. but. now sworn in as the new head of state on monday kremlin ceremony in moscow and we've got all the highlights online of our two top calm you can watch the president arriving taking an oath on the constitution being welcomed by a thirty one gun salute the money then followed by a festive banquet. with the party over. a country to rule for in-depth analysis on what's in store for him as he makes his comeback into russia's top job r t v dot com. there is a new leader in france as well where. on sunday but as he's getting ready to move into the. country is waiting for change. reports all

and will have to find answers fast. out with the old. in with the new. the way the press were allowed to ask a victory in the french presidential elections the people here are saying that france is once again peaceful event here they are 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 alon belise is that people rejected sarkozy when then france would also cite france for many reasons one of them was his personal arrogance so we can hope that 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's eagerness

to lead the libyan intervention sending french warplanes in first he of course betrayed himself all along as deliberate of libya but he kept that extremely quiet as 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 receiving t.n.t. tonight it's the night of hope again you know the mushroom going after cozy has created an awful images from this we don't want deficients within the french society we don't want the bombing of arab countries that we are friends of the arabs this is. a lot is being branded france's new hope or gadg one 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 traditionally french while foreign policy took a backseat during the campaign a lot it did throw out two moves one go head to head with germany's angela merkel

on really go sharing the e.u. fiscal pact believe me he will experience in the coming. the power of the negotiation power of america because miracle will face an election in one year and will not be willing to compromise we said it was a french president and to withdraw french troops from afghanistan a year earlier than planned it's a sign that i think you want to scale down foreign policy but i would guess that is going to be more considerate of what is happening in the rest of the world and will focus on economic issues within europe at the end of the day all the french really want our jobs and leadership to truly represent them both at home and abroad. yes or so you are telling us. it's good to have you with us here on r.t. today still ahead for you in this hour that are fueling debate hillary clinton

visits india hoping to ramp up pressure on terror raan over its nuclear program find out whether the second the biggest consumer of iranian crude is happy to make concessions. possible victims of police brutality in the u.s. leave many questioning just to use enforcing the law enforcers. syrians have voted in the country's first multi-party elections in five decades and the government hailed the ballot as a major step towards reform however rather boycotted by the opposition which held protests instead. of reports many of the country are weary of the months old 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 who'd called for a boycott the people did turn out to vote in syria's parliament she elections the elections taking place against the backdrop of instability in the country and the

credibility of the very it's being called into question with the opposition boycotting the vote so that their 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. because we have some disturbance and some of this is. we have to approve that we can move forward and we can overcome this obstacle here . for people who are like people who support syria people who are saying yes for syria no for to no for holding us for used for developing the country 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 objective way and the monitor at this poll told us there have been levi elation so far that everything has been going smoothly people are taking part in the 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 when 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 would 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 stressed that this is a very full syrians and by syrians to me listen. comes from the people one. sees the. president goes to solicit digital missing. the intention of this for him probably sees. the

one who can declare that president assad is legitimate or illegitimate. lost his legitimacy as his legitimacy the syrians. of this right that is a right that they've been exercising whether it's turning out to cast the ballot 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 serious change but they said they believed that after fifteen months of unrest they had to at least try. r.t. syria. he is coming to you live from moscow. i'm a human rights activist and remains behind bars in the country on charges of inciting protests and. one of the leaders of the popular uprising and an outspoken critic of the state's royal family he was detained late saturday on his arrival

from lebanon and now the arrest occurred just days before his appearance on julian sanchez program right here on our rajab had posted on his twitter feed that he was going to be interviewed by the famous whistleblower. precisely what provoked his arrest on the show the wiki leaks quizzed him along with an egyptian activist over the revolutions in the arab states london based author and journalist should return see believes not be able to job and his fellow activists have a mountain of challenges to face in the future. if there is no case against him the case against the british an american and european governments that are backing bahrain i don't know how long julian has been under house arrest here in this country without charge but they obviously seem to think that they can now arrest interviewees very disturbing what's happened 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 nine 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 then the journalists that cover it. i know the next episode of show featuring. that is on today in just over an hour's time on our t.v. though a quick preview for you. a lot of people who have i mean i would be surprised or you should not be surprised. by any population coming out didn't want to book this is still happening it's not happening in any of the revolution what notice did

of illusion 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 put this but you would see him but unfortunately because of the debate is that many countries because of the. candidates like. you don't get chandan is that they don't hire at this but this is the reality. i speak to two leading revolutionaries one from bahrain where the revolution was really egypt where the revolution is now in turmoil what makes a revolution and where is the arab spring going to go. already not just a few minutes or an ox he will get to the world but for now india's attempting to avoid a showdown with the u.s. for his continued dealings with iran and the american secretary of state hillary clinton is in new delhi for high level talks she has so far persuaded the

authorities to sharply drop imports of iranian oil in an attempt to pressure the islamic state over its controversial nuclear program with details on this oxys preassure. iran has dominated this discussion of hillary clinton's visit in india her visit actually happens to coincide with the trade 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 fiction they actually have been through those four countries account for sixty percent of iran oil customers so a lot of people are saying that things in them 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. 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 make with the on the basis of their n.p.t. membership but also the iranians to come out with some declaration. that can help

us but the real story is it is already reduced to it's all imports from the one we have time i mean we have really some more time to. june before the. policy of american sanctions so unless we ask for a new muscle to mention that you know japan has been granted of even to order that of evil is possible but 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. all right or starting with the cia let's get to the r.t. world update for you now the intelligence agency claims it has a warhead an al qaeda plot so a bomb an airliner on the first anniversary of the killing of osama bin laden involved a bomb concealed in the 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 and no information has been released about the status or identity of the would be. the israeli prime minister and the opposition have reached an agreement following all night negotiations to avoid snap elections they plan to form a unity government with binyamin netanyahu party on monday netanyahu brought the date for the poll forward to september the fourth accusing the opposition of blackmail and populism. the afghan president has said the recent nato killings of civilians could hinder a peace pact that he signed with barack obama last week the agreement covers the long term u.s. role in afghanistan after his planned withdrawal in two thousand and fourteen the move comes after an airstrike by coalition forces killed fourteen and injured six others in the country's northwest dozens of died in just the past few days so all the nato airstrikes. mortar shells have landed on

a crowded neighborhood of somalia's capital four members of a family died in one house two other people were killed nearby and a child died after suffering wounds caused by shrapnel wasn't 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. now two police officers have gone on trial in america 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 r.t. as more important reports many in america just feel that justice is not being so. so you were two thousand and twelve shooting death of teenager trayvon martin when marley graham was shot and killed inside his home two on armed 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 as a bronze teenager band 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 locks at the proper training to work in his assigned unit two months have passed and there have been no charges in connection with the killing it's the lack of training in the situation is in a lack of respect for the communities that you're patrolling that allows an officer to sort of act in a unauthorized un discipline outside the guidelines manner which in essence is acting like a cowboy you know we're not in the wild west a 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 ongoing too often 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 us department of justice does not require police departments to report fatal shooting statistics meanwhile. the new 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. 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. and according to amnesty international dozens of deaths can be traced to unnecessary force. 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. 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 inforcing a law well protected when they violate marine upper nile artsy new york. art in just a few minutes here and i'll tell you we sit down with nato's a deputy chief to talk all about anti missile defense systems in europe off of the headlines in just a moment. move
