live in moscow russia has a new prime minister dmitri medvedev who will now former cabinet before getting down to business and of course newly inaugurated president putin is already dishing out directions regarding changes to the country's policies. has more on the tandems agenda. the changes to the. russian political system also to continue with what he sees as his efforts to. the political system in russia highlights you need. a major point that he wants to push saying that he wants to increase investment into russia's economy and increase investment from abroad as well also you saying it's full membership. is a must and something that he will push for as hard as he can doing his time in the role of prime minister and in terms of the military he wants to see a industrial military complex see making sure that russia's armed forces can remain

amongst the best in the world well be a putin is the president and he's been delivering some strategic. highlighting what he wants to achieve while he's in power he amongst those who have been foreign policy decisions revolving around the proposed u.s. missile defense shield in eastern europe now the president. the foreign ministry in russia to address the united states demands from washington. written commitment that they will not target russia with any of those missile sites placed in eastern europe closer to home he's also said that he wants to cripple corruption in russia by forcing old bureaucrats to declare their incomes to work more transparency in russian politics using technology using the internet to do that of course that was something that. puts in place to do during his time as president

now as prime minister he's going to have to work very very closely with the timea putin if they're to be able to live up to some of the promises of what some people who two point zero is the loss of key economic decisions to be made both prime minister. prime. wouldn't lie to me if i go to have to work very closely those promises or he's part of all of our reporting right there well as vladimir putin gets busy in his new role as president some of the public on the streets of central moscow are showing their discontent with his return to office activists have been holding marches against putin's inauguration with some protests turning into overnight camps our correspondent jake agreements reports from the scene of the opposition gathering. but they're still braving the elements that 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 no boney poles opposition activists but he did

that early tuesday morning to eating grass and all his followers to descend in central moscow they did so somewhere else in kids who are originally and that was in the early hours of tuesday morning but they were saving somewhat of a city and it seemed quite peaceful at times of people singing and orchestration quite a peaceful demonstration and the keeley they didn't want to actually be saving anything political that's because there's an unsanctioned demonstration that would have likely led to a rest now actually coming back to this protest well alexei no bounty or 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 there says they saw the demonstration house where they were stopped by police but they have since been released there three hours attained

those two key figures since released and they've actually made an appearance here earlier state and indeed the leaders when speaking here of this opposition movement at the moment said that if they get ousted again by the police they will want to read ok somewhere else in moscow so they do want to keep the momentum on this going of course it comes on the back of those of markedly violent demonstrations sort taking place on sunday just ahead of that of a person's official inauguration there were still 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 somebody says by protesters and has some of their raw gaev. problem but it still was born on the back of the parliamentary elections back in december with allegations over 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 a picture mindset in those violent demonstrations resource i can place on sunday for those and more of a fringe me with the hardliners who want to see a complete overhaul of the political system as it is at present there are those who just want a rerun when it comes to disputed elections all right now are using the so now i take a closer look at what drives the antiproton. who is the russian opposition well of course it depends who you ask but also if you take a look for yourself what you'll see most often are a lot of different colors organizations and parties well to help us kind of decipher who's who in this i think we can call modern russian opposition is to me three bob which he's a political analyst for voice of russia radio thanks for being with us i want to start with alexis in the widely and surrogate self just because they're the most

well known at the moment they're constantly getting arrested and being released just briefly tell us who they are and why they've become the prominent leaders of our let me is not a typical leftist populist like well does he use the morning to take corruption and nationalist. but let's focus on the flanks for a bit looking at this video this is this is sunday's protest which for the first time turned really ugly you see these there's so and the left front it's called what what are the main focus of that party it's a flag we saw a lot of on sunday you see the red flags with the red star so this is an image abroad people might think it's you know a communist party because they read russia communist so what they write because it will do so for recently because. he is. left for aung to be an ally of the communist party a russian federation human being chronically ill but dissipating all these actions get him constantly arrested that's his style what's like is that

they're on a kibbutz where he is their traditional. russian i guess what does that mean in terms of there are several groups which do not i y themselves with the left for on or with the communist party to observe sunday i was there and they were clearly some people who were trying to provoke violence a lot of these so-called anarchists you can see here basically were running into the riot police and also were wearing a lot of these masks. let's talk a little bit more about the nationalist fight that we see sometimes i believe we don't have pictures here yet but it's. white there it is what's this if it means someone you know all of the groups all the nationalist groups that are strongly opposed to the current government just want to pull the white. and red. but who also but would not like to be associated with communists or leftists why does it mean that. when we see tens of thousands of people on the streets of moscow as

opposed to small groups like we see here which we saw after the inauguration sit ins trying to happen why when you see the thousands of people the masses to see so many different flights if they are so anti putin can't they just get under that banner all these groups have mutually exclusive views they're not simply i think in his degree not simply contradictory that's just an excuse if the nationalistic use would you know be liberal the liberal secular would have been a national a leftist and he was but you know the sort of social system is a liberal sickness which will revive in the soviet period so they can't agree on anything the only thing that they can agree on is that they don't like pollution and they want the current russian state to collapse that's about it to me through bob rich political analyst from words of russia radio thank you very much for trying to help us understand what's happening with the opposition in russia because certainly people in the country have never been more involved in politics not easy nice an hour and forty right when i mean time alexander rah the director of the

russia and eurasia program of the german council on foreign relations and he says that i was a lot of my putin empower russia can finally deliver on the pledges of modernization . takes some of the ideas which are expressed by me to give the he in my view will be all the better i tracked because maybe it was the person whole started to change russia from above he was responsible for waking up and this is the middle class the whole internet generation of russia through his speeches his analysis months assert his address and even this criticism of that actually political and economic system is that it is clear they have to diversify or they call it the economy as soon as possible but in such a consummate and becoming like russia it takes no more than the west expects russia to do this so of course of oil and gas will remain the backbone of its action by ship but i say that a lot of other things are happening in russia as well the infrastructure is in

create a lot of new business opportunities are coming off of a. possible very serious face more than one thing itself series not just in words but in practice and which it has now six years time to do it with a prime minister video of course have a possibility to the whole system liberal reforms and that's all this that's. this is on t.v. it's good to have you with us today still ahead for you in this hour a small step towards order and stability. we have a proof that they can move photographs yes for c.b.s. no put to resume. yes for peace yes for developing syrians parliamentary votes the country is still divided over whether the ballot will make a difference to people's lives. and find out why india could have its knuckles rapped unless it agrees to meet u.s. demands of iranian oil that's still to come.

france will be hoping for a positive future following the election of a new president and while francois hollande may have beaten his rival nicolas sarkozy in the recent run off a considerably tough task now awaits him many voters want to see a change in the country's foreign policy and they want the economy to grow as well with a report from paris is. out with the old. in with a new. translator law 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 had 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 really is is the people rejected because it would then france would 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 he of course but try. it 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 going about receive it t.n.t. tonight it's the night of hope again you know the march heard the psychos he 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. 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 he will experience in the coming month. 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 to scale down the foreign policy but i would guess that he's going to be more considerate of what's 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 represents them both at home and abroad. tesser so there are two paths it's a quarter past the hour here in moscow i want to get more information on any of ostorius just log on to our web site on t.v. dot com let's check out some of the stories are standing by for you there right now for example the farrah flying some pilots. one of the world's most advanced jets the f. twenty two soft a safety concern suggest the cockpit of the planes could be deadly for the crew. had a. special report on the tragic fate of the refugees displaced. in the arab states. leading human rights activist remains detained on charges of inciting protests through social networks. was arrested just days after featuring on program. the show there was

country held its first parliamentary election for half a century the ballot however was firmly boycotted by the opposition which ultimately called it a sham but as reports amid continuing violence in the country many syrians believe the election gives them a real chance to help that country. it didn't get the stamp of approval from the opposition who had called 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 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 shia people who are saying yes for syria no for to no for holding us for used for developing their country there were no international observers here something some felt should have been an option authorities say the people seeing the voting would doing so objectively and the monitor at this poll told us there been leave violations so 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 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 stress that this is a very full syrians and by syrians to me legitimate. comes from the people one . sees the. president goes to solicit to visit innocent. the intention of this for him probably sees. the one who can declare that president assad is a legitimate or illegitimate. lost his legitimacy as his legitimacy the syrians. of the rights 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 believe that after fifteen months of unrest they had to at least try. r.t. syria. all right oh straight to libya now to kick off the r.t. world the office of libya's interim prime minister has been attacked by gunmen in tripoli a dozen trucks mounted with anti aircraft guns have surrounded the building one spokesperson says gunfire has been heard inside and the men are believed to be ex rebels demanding payment most people inside the building have fled but there are reports that at least one security card has been injured at this point it is unknown whether the prime minister is in the building. authorities have seized sixty thousand rounds of ammunition from an international italian container ship in lebanon or the bullets were found hidden in two cars on the vessel which was docked in the northern city of tripoli the ship's destination was unknown but syria claims

that weapons are being smuggled over the lebanese border to fight against president assad tripoli has seen several protests in support of the fourteen month uprising against the syrian leader. the u.s. as for old an al qaeda plot to bomb an aircraft on the one year anniversary of the killing of osama bin laden the bomb was designed to fit into a passenger's underwear and detonate a border u.s. bound passenger jet a similar plot was attempted in december two thousand and nine but failed when the explosive failed to detonate properly the device which was seized following a cia operation in yemen is now being examined by the f.b.i. . prime minister benjamin netanyahu says a new israeli government will responsibly promote a peace process with the palestinians the statement came after he reached an agreement with the opposition following all night negotiations to avoid snap

elections the unity government is now expected to hold talks on a range of issues including iran's disputed nuclear program. afghan president hamid karzai has warned that the recently signed strategic pact with the u. . asked is a risk of becoming meaningless if people do not feel safe in their own country this comes after a poor start for strikes in recent days carried out by international forces left dozens of civilians dead. the president of the lobbying group nationalists forum says the american military and the cia are undermining the u.s. afghan when i should share but i think karen president karzai will have to learn the hard way that he cannot trust commitments by the u.s. military and this you engage you know the american diplomats in. the ceiling of the box who came to action such as the ones that killed the civilians on the morning their entire lives were hard work so who wants to be part of.

the you see happy we're going to. say is in the same position as he promised he was not in kabul and. it cannot assure us the u.s. military cannot choose to see any. problem it has not months to get. them and who simply actions by a. draft. and there will again going to be a dumb people. it's us with. the bombs and. we're . not. committed means. that. washington has asked india to join its attack against terror on this nuclear program but if new delhi doesn't agree to cut its iranian oil imports it could face

strict u.s. sanctions secretary of state hillary clinton she's in india for high level talks to push the country to do more to cut its iranian all dependency with details on seas preassure into. 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 once 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 on these things and they actually happen to those four countries account for sixty percent of iran's oil customers so a lot of people are saying that the things aren't going to work on less washington

can get these asian countries on board and. sort of to iraq are a scholar says new delhi's trade with the gulf region will prevent the country from completely cutting ties with iran. if you'll notice that india is perhaps the third largest importer of iranian oil after the european union china and then india india imports about eleven percent already the indian side has indicated that there will be a drop as far as indian imports of iranian oil are concerned this year perhaps in the year two thousand and twelve thirteen the drop is likely to be as much as about thirty two percent on the other hand india has also indicated that iran must. accept all its obligations which it has agreed to under the n.p.t. but nonetheless it's important to remember that india cannot simply do away with

their relationship with iran please do remember that there are almost six million indian people of indian origin living in the gulf region trade with the gulf region is about one hundred billion dollars if there is conflict. problems as far as in in that region is concerned then all this would be an extremely difficult situation. we are coming to you live from the heart of moscow do stay with us if you can in just a few minutes a julian a song to a manning the helm here at doughty that'll be after a recap of the headlines. is
