behind. worldwide news twenty four hours a day this is artsy with me rule research and live in moscow russia is a little makers are meeting to vote on dmitri medvedev scandal to see for prime minister and president putin's already dishing out directions regarding changes to the country's policies let's get all the details now from our he's pretty all of a standing by for us live right now in central moscow peter without dmitri medvedev expected to be voted in as the new prime minister what all the expectations and i will kind of challenges does he face. well that meeting is ongoing right now is to be to make it a kind of nice addressing of the pall of the building but before the former president spoke to the new president speaking introducing him got to be approved

saying that the meeting made good it was willing to cooperate and work with all parties and organizations in russia is coming to the political sphere now to me to make good of himself during his speech has said that they needs to be changes in the upper echelons over the russian political power he vowed to continue the policies of economic change i can only development funds and my station this week implemented himself while he was president he also vowed to increase life expectancy in russia to about the current level of seventy years old up to seventy five by the twenty eight c. but he also said that he wanted to see more investment. from businesses looking to get more investment from abroad into russia to bolster the economy now it's expected that united russia and the liberal democratic policy will. for

the beach you may get if that will give him more than the fifty percent he needs to become the new prime minister over the. russia have said they won't be voting for him however as i say the fight that united russia and the liberal democrats on his side mean that we're expecting that he should be named as the prime minister very shortly for our separate and you talk about the new prime minister or should i say the possibly a possible new prime minister let's turn our attention now to the he's been back about hell now as president for well for a little over twenty four hours but as far as we understand it here at r.t. he's been a busy man for the past day. yes says the president has certainly hit the ground running signing a series of strategic alter the most important of these revolving around foreign policy. dressing at the united states is on time missile defense shield the proposed missile defense shield in eastern europe now the president has

ordered the foreign ministry here in russia to demand from washington written confirmation that any missiles based sites i think you need eastern europe will not target russia president putin also you saying at the start treaty must be had he had to closer to home he said he wants to corruption by making sure political corruption by making sure that all bureaucrats have to declare all of their incomes and he also wants to expound an increase the transparency in russia's government using technology and especially the internet well of course that was something that his pre-decided dimitri made did of the how to regionally put same place looks like a lot to me a putin looking to continue that trend of increasing transparency in russia's political systems no political analysts have been looking at the situation at the moment essentially it looks as though rushes to political big guns are going to switch. positions with no us presidents and perhaps we're going to see looks like

we are going to see mitt get of take over as prime minister but political of the say that they are going to have to work very closely together if they go to achieve their goals. to raise their salaries by fifty percent by the year two thousand and eighteen is the end of his term he plans to create by that time twenty five million you'll drop since the countries you plan to still have ninety percent of all the important medicines to be produced in russia domestically and so these are very ambitious plans and a lot of them will have to be implemented by mr means good so i don't expect them to be arguing ideologically up but i think there will be a very tough job ahead of them to feel what mr borden sees as his vision for his new drama as president. so the word is that if president putin's plans are going to be achieved that he's going to have to work very closely with his prime minister. say we're expecting in the next few moments that that prime

minister will be named this former president dmitri medvedev of course we'll bring you all of that here on on c s soon as we get it you can follow the life the media may get it speaking to politics on our website altie dot com of us all right he's our producer of live in central moscow kremlin in the distant background there many many thanks indeed. well as a peter was just saying again just to remind you you can watch the live broadcast of the ongoing state duma session on our web site c dot com now as of late i mean putin gets busy in his new role as president some of the public on the streets of central moscow showing their discontent with his return to office activists have been holding marches against putin's inauguration with some protests turning into overnight camps correspondent jake aggrieved is out the scene of the opposition gathering joining us live on the program i jacob you've been with the crowds throughout the day just can you tell us one thing or just who are these protesters . oh sure world they're quite passionate they're still braving the elements moscow

weather at the moment has the offer to see them gathered just behind me at present now they're called upon the behest of alexei novo only problems opposition activists and he did that early tuesday morning tweeting and asking all his followers to send in central moscow they do so somewhere else in kit originally and that was in the early hours of tuesday morning but they were staging somewhat of a sit in it seemed quite peaceful at times of people singing and orchestrating quite a peaceful demonstration and the key lead they didn't want to actually be saving anything political that's because it's an unsanctioned demonstration that would have likely led to a rest now actually coming back to this protest well alexina valley all the key organizers and that sort of. head of the left front of also played

a key part when it comes to organizing demonstrations or they were detained around four am in the morning that says they sought to move the demonstration elsewhere they were stopped by police but they have since been released three hours attained those two key figures like since are released and they've actually made an appearance here earlier today. can you tell us just just how far these demonstrators say they're going to take their call is this going to carry on because ultimately a demonstration from yesterday even turning into possibly a down pajama party just how far are they going to take this. show you get the impression this is all about maintaining pressure perhaps more importantly some attention on vladimir putin the recently inaugurated president taking when it comes to his first days first couple of days in office and indeed the leaders when speaking here of this opposition movement at the moment said that if they get out of again that. and by the police they all want to read out hate somewhere else in

moscow so they do want to keep the momentum on this going of course it comes on the back of those markedly violent demonstrations so taking place on sunday just ahead of but of a person's official inauguration there were so clashes between protesters and police and usually comes this opposition movement number of injuries on both sides and a markedly large amount of arrests being made police say that they were attacked and some he says by protesters and has some of their broad gay people from the. we've we've heard you discuss in the stats as you know as we know there were some violent clashes with police on the eve of putin's inauguration with about four hundred arrests being made that's of course on top of a string of protests we've seen in moscow over the past five months can you just explain and just put this in a layman's terms for all of us here particularly me ultimately at the end of the day what does the opposition want to achieve. was official tagline for a long time now has been for free and fair elections and we can't arise by the

white ribbons that many of the protests where when they are demonstrating but it still was born on the back of the parliamentary elections back in december rule with allegations of electoral fraud and then the pressure grew as we saw mass demonstrations taking place in moscow and also around the rest of russia that led into the presidential elections now as to what they want to achieve for here there is somewhat of a split is that in those violent demonstrations we saw a second place on sunday for those and more of a fringe move with the hardliners who want to see a complete overhaul of the political system as it is present there are those who just want a rerun when it comes to disputed elections right after you've heard jacob grieve there in central moscow thank you. are still ahead for you this hour here on our two small step towards. unstability. we have the two

approved that we can move forward just for syria no for terrorism no for holding guns yes for peace yes for developing that country syrians parliamentary votes the country still divided over whether the ballot will make a difference to people's lives. more victims of police abuse in the us leave many questioning whether the lower is failing to control the offices responsible for upholding it. france will be hoping for a positive future following the election of a new president but while francois hollande may have beaten his rival nicole are so cozy in the recent run off considerably tough task awaits him many voters want to see a change in the country's foreign policy course and to see their economy grow from paris with this report. out to the old guy.

who didn't. trust alanda as they victory in the french presidential elections the people here are saying that france is once again peaceful if they're here they had voted for change but the question is how soon are they going to see that change and what kind of crowds are they really going to have and the world is asking precisely the same question realizes that people rejected sarkozy when in france but also 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 she of course betrayed himself along as deliberate of libya but he kept extraordinary that. required 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 going about their c.v. t.n.t. tonight it's the night of hope again you know the march goodness i can see has created an overall image of france we don't want divisions within the french society we don't want the bombing of arab countries we are friends of the arabs having. a lot is being branded france's new hope or gadget on 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 she 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 she 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 a scaled down foreign policy but i would guess that is going to be more considerate to what is happening in the 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 are jobs and leadership to truly represents them both at home and abroad. yes or sylvia our team paris. and any time to get more information on any of the stories you fancy just log on to our com of course that's a website some of the items are standing by for you there right now include other farrah flying pilots refused to operate one of the world's most advanced. jets the

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 ok we have the two approved that we can move forward and we can overcome this obstacle here. for people who are like people who support syria people who say yes you know for to resume holding yes for peace yes for developing vick country there are no international observers here something some felt should have been an option authorities say that people just think of a thing we're doing say objective lay and the monitor at this poll. violations say far. everything has been going smoothly people are taking part in the motions with violations more than seven thousand candidates have been buying public support.

fourteen million people are allowed to vote in theory and they've been trying to gain the support to win one of the 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 in the violence this is led to serious questions about the legitimacy of the ballot but as international opinion surrounds the political developments in syria one analyst stress that this is a very full syrians and by syrian. legitimacy comes from the people one. president. of this for him probably. the one who can declare the president

is legitimate or illegitimate. lost his legitimacy. to receive the syrians. or 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 some he said they felt the elections were unlikely to bring about any serious change but they said they believe that after fifteen months of unrest they had to at least try. r.t. syria. it is good to have you with us or to today. leading human rights activist remains detained on charges of inciting protests through social networks now bill was arrested just days after featuring on julian assange program right here on r.t. on the show the question and an egyptian shimon rights activist about. the origins

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 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 killings but it's a lack of training in the situation as in a lack of respect for the communities that you're patrolling that allows an officer to sort of act in the unauthorized and discipline outside the guidelines manner

which in essence is acting like a cowboy you know we're not in the wild west in 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 on going to off the police are putting themselves into. shueisha and 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 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 all round we're going to have according to amnesty international dozens of deaths can be traced to unnecessary force our government 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 horror . single law well protected when they violate it's hurry up or niam part see me are . now in just a few minutes or an r t o we sit down with a nato as a deputy chief to talk about anti missile defense systems in europe are probably right after a recap of the headlines in just a moment. more
