hello eight pm saturday night here in moscow this is our names kevin and first supporters of independence for scotland have launched the campaign which they hope will let them break free of the three hundred five year old union with england the scottish national party and now gathering the one million signatures needed to call a referendum in twenty fourteen but it won't be easy as laura smith explains. it is to collect a million signatures from scottish people by two thousand and fourteen in support of a yes vote and then following on from that a referendum will be held which will be asking people whether they want independence from the u.k. whether they want scotland to be an independent sovereign nation in its own right so to have full control of its own fiscal. political affairs and if it succeeds scotland with break away from the union by two thousand and sixteen we hear and this is a union that's been in place for the last three hundred years it's been indorsed by

a range of scottish celebrities including the actor sean connery who sent a message to the campaign and the first minister alex salmond this is this is his baby really he's staked his entire political career on it the leader of the scottish national party he says we want to scotland that greener fairer and more prosperous and for that we need an independent scotland even the most optimistic poll shows that only forty percent of people would vote for scottish independence now so that means that sixty percent of them what are the vote no or the undecideds of course that's what the yes campaign wants to address because there's a compelling emotional argument really for scottish independence they've always had this distinct national identity from england and the yes campaign wants a yes vote so that it will get control of its own revenues from north sea oil and gas of course that it could represent itself on the international stage all by itself it's always felt that it does and westminster isn't really representing it there are scots who don't want independence as i've said they don't see

a reason to separate really and they've got lots of questions about it for example currency at the moment of course they have the pounds would they be able to keep the pound or would they have to join the euro which of course is not a particularly attractive prospect particularly at the moment and of course south of the border there's a major adversary and david cameron who doesn't want to be the man who presides over the breakup of this three hundred year old union the fear is if scotland goes who would be next would wales go would it result in the entire breakup of the united kingdom as we know it. a correspondent in london there was part of scottish national party member and hero and palin smith who said scotland is capable of prospering he says on it so without europe there's a lot of polls over there but sure great deal of support and a great deal of democratic legitimacy for the s.n.p. government in edinburgh serving the people of scotland well with competent government doing lots of good stuff representing scotland's interests within the european union and the wider world there is no question absolutely no question under any anybody's interpretation of the folk you're scotland more than pays its

way we have a considerably rich asset base in terms of natural resources human resources now we've got water we've got the ability to feed ourselves we've got all sorts of good things going on it's up to the people of scotland to decide what sort of country we want to be and you talk about separating and thus that's just not how we see things we see this as joining the mainstream of the world joining the european union joining the united nations joining all sorts of other organizations look at all the global challenges that cross borders and we need to work together but you need to be represented by a government that actually does represent you presently at the london government simply just does not do that and it's very very clear to the people of scotland we can do better. student groups in canada are making legal moves to overturn a law designed to suppress the three months of protests over a hike in she was in fees it requires of the give eight hours notice ahead of a rally in the students say that's unconstitutional the quebec authorities moves

have only fueled the protesters and given with one hundred thousand taking part in a demonstration earlier this week the rallies have led to violent clashes with police and over two thousand five hundred arrests since student newspaper editor corey paul thinks the movement's taking on ever growing significance. but i think that the government is trying to make it a lot it to try to keep it as a student issue that it's a student issue led by simply students and. it can be it can be quelled with maybe some simple negotiations but i don't really think that that is exactly the case and i feel that it's an ideological issue that it's a movement that has grown beyond the simple fact that we're tuition increase and now incompetence many many problems. that are being brought out in the government. mismanagement of funds corruption within the government itself mismanagement mismanagement of the university system and generally people are really upset and i don't think that this issue will simply go away and it's not just. growing as

reported online tonight if you get a minute the protests pulling into ontario and students pledge to stand shoulder to shoulder with those running in other cities for yourself more maps online also all the talk in r t the medals of dishonor the disillusioned american soldiers throwing away their military decoration snowboarding what they regard as not just. as well as our big promise to dmitri medvedev has been appointed to head the country's ruling united russia party but his modernization mantra is already in evidence he's proposing to hold primaries to increase democratic competition he's a regular screw explains what to expect from the party's new leader. first and

foremost he did say that the party is in need of some. overhaul in order to be more modernized he did a call on the party members to be more active on the internet she said that acting more young voters and younger members of the party is crucial to the party's development he also proposed primaries in order to create a greater competition within the party ranks he did say that the ruling posted in the party should be harder to wire and basically he did outline some of the major areas where the party should be working in order to progress not stand still she did say that there is a competition that the united russia is facing at the moment and they should be able to handle the competition to not be for a period of criticism because after all it is in the in the disputes and in conversations where the truth is being born basically he did outline and not particularly in any detail of his plan for the party but it does look like he is set on moving it forward he's also the first prime minister to actually belong to

a party by human person wasn't a member of united russia. surely so a note strug one eurovision song contest entry ukraine's nationalists are angry of . mixed ethnicity and it's not the only major event that's racism affecting pfizer as we report suit. voters now faced with a choice of two presidential candidates one from the muslim brotherhood or another a top official from the mubarak era the runoff vote in egypt's first free presidential polls will start on june the sixteenth the first round was close. less than half a percent behind hosni mubarak's last prime minister after which a freak but neither got enough to win right or should think represents pretty revolution egypt. strict sharia law. told me that neither can the really represents the ideals that people fought for more than a year to achieve. their. a general sense of disappointment in the whole country

people did not expedite that especially in those that we've reviewed unities did not expect that egyptians will vote for nor evolution the two candidates that have been chosen for the runoff neither of them belongs to that evolution so there is a general sense of disappointment of course amongst young people which at present the majority of the population but now everyone is asking going to vote for after much a feat was involved in beating people into risk or during that evolution and he was a prime minister is that mubarak used to beautify is image in his last days before he leaves the fact that people are choosing him now probably they want to give him a new chance or probably zif. selected him as a negative vote to morsi you want to present is a muslim brotherhood we the muslim brotherhood have been doing the can three since the parliamentary elections last november and since then people have seen.

brotherhood are completely flawed from was they expected them to be they became more you know speaking about things that don't really relate to the people so i think they voted against them by selecting and i think this what will happen is that i'm off as well. it's been here since georgian government forces broke up a rally demanding president saakashvili quits and opposition voices a still feeling the full force of suppression the clashes last may saw two people killed as police used water cannon and rubber bullets to disperse the crowds dozens were injured and hundreds arrested when officers tried to clear the way for the country in the pendants day celebrations george will parliamentary and presidential elections later in the year but his art is rare for national found there is little or cheer for anyone hoping for a change. of ourselves to study to one of georgia's main television channels that slogan proclaims news is made here is the answer from the country's

journalists charter complains that sometimes it's literally so and works equally for all georgian major broadcasters. they do not cover news they make it there in their offices behind closed doors in georgia where there are only three national channels broadcasting news channels one a state strand while the owners of the two others are starting to and in many had close ties with georgian president mikheil saakashvili and his administration they're the main sources of information for the country's almost four point five million population ziad says the news reports these three air often repeat each other which raises concerns over the it is tauriel independence especially as the country enters election season five months before parliament voting. they're quite black and white circus really is good opposition is bad but they really touch georgian politics at all when i watch it i have the feeling that there are no

problems in georgia and their main mission is to entertain people not to inform them. other channels content is more diversified from the corruption in the country's elite and political prisoners to a controversial purchase by the president's mother of a historic bilton in central but to me for just one larry which is less than one u.s. dollar but these are all turning to the media sources can hardly get an audience outside the capital tbilisi. local authorities prevent us from broadcasting in the provinces although we do have a license the people running the biggest company the former minister of defense and the head of the government communications committee who are also co owners of the three biggest channels all of them are friends with the president apart from financial markets says the authorities practice other kinds of pressure to include in what he says is a feature of any offer tarion regime. our journalists have been beaten up their equipment stolen and there's been no investigation do we really have freedom of

press if our correspondents every time they go to an opposition rally have to wonder if they're going to be beaten or not irakli and use paper reporter says he has been beaten up twice in the last month by the president and interior minister as security for attempting to cover the events with the two top officials where only government approved media were invited. me here very hard and also yelled how did i come here at all that i would be blacklisted and would never find decent work and i think as elections approach such pressure will only get tougher for most of the population here and told to get the news from state owned the safe and for media the press is among the most tightly mourning and there are not to these presidential and parliamentary elections a lot of independent information means voters will make it a season that is likely far from being informed and according to many far from

being free. race nationality to billy c. georgia. marches there is global free speech lies in our rampant take of social media but later in the program we ask if you're tired these days and pokes and like it's. one reason i think that i did miss those media strategies because i am a little bit sick of it so we have to be really good later we ask residents of the big apple what they think the future holds for popular networks. talking and later of course is a concert a bit later which will have one hundred twenty million fans glued the euro vision song contest is on the air but there's division in one country over its entry into the final. reports next on how ukraine's song for europe is stirring an undercurrent of racism. the song be my guest sounds like an invitation singer guy who is representing

ukraine at the eurovision song contest says its message is positive that her country opens its arms to any guest but the reaction of ukraine's nationalists that is being performed by a woman with african roots suggests quite the opposite. the jury which decided by turner should go was very biased they didn't let real ukrainian singers go to europe vision like how she sings but now people might get an impression that ukraine is a country somewhere in africa. the daughter of a ukrainian mother and a congolese father may have been heard by this attitude but still try to play down with a smile i don't like it i hate to a season i hate when people. have so much negative like this. i hate it when people try to choose you like a friend because you why do you black. this is no isolated racism among ukraine's nationalists over the years they've been making the ideology

known in other ways deemed offensive by many from attacking war veterans on victory day last year or cooking eggs and bacon on the turn or flame which commemorates fallen red army soldiers all the previous actions of ukraine's right wing radicals have been mostly acts of hooliganism they have rarely made headlines especially in the global media but with the euro twenty twelve football championship coming to ukraine some pundits in the west believe this is about to change reporter brian flynn from britain sun newspaper disguised himself as a right wing sympathizer to go undercover into a nationalist field cam in western ukraine his footage shows them firing weapons and using explosives this military wing of nationalists has what it takes to wreck some real haversack flynn believes their destructive skills could be employed. quite soon with football hooligans being among those trained at the camp with a very clear about a number of of things that their ideology sort of points in the direction of one of

them is is a belief that there should be no black players playing for european clubs as one of the generals told me it wouldn't it's not fair it should be england against ukraine not ukraine against england and africa but it does make clear that any black fans going to ukraine should should be very careful because clear to me that these are people very serious about what they do they train physically to back it up with violence and i watched what they fired live weapons. the danger of major violence at the football event may still be averted if authorities take action but another great risk looms for ukraine the ruling party is losing ground and september's vote may bring some of those radicals into parliament. nowadays no one would be surprised to see the nazi salute at folk festivals in western ukraine or nationalist some regional powers in other parts peace can still take action against neo nazis and much of the very same people will have parliamentary immunity and an

unlimited platform in parliament to spread their ideas to young people ukraine's right wing nationalist align themselves in glorifying everything ukrainian at the same time they are strongly supportive of their country's european integration but with increasingly vocal zina for big and racist statements it's hard to imagine brussels listening to their opinions on ukraine becoming an e.u. member state should they make it to power. r.t. reporting from kiev in ukraine rather world in brief monitors have been sent to the west and syria internal business say more than one thousand people have been killed by government forces it's also played the troops tanks and heavy machine guns to pound the area this week a un report accused both the regime and the rebels of gross human rights violator. meantime in france the friends of syria group to remove president funds the opposition condemned the violence and called an urgent meeting. the i.m.f.

exactly come as a surprise to many in the u.s. this is been happening all across the country simply because so many will soon to cross the country are getting visited on a regular basis by a p.r. agency for doing joint terrorism task force officers so many are having problems now the consul of american islamic relations in california is suing the agency for what it says is an attempt to incriminate people based simply on their religion that the muslims are what the outcome americans were the fifty's sixty's and seventy's i think it's a war a religious war and i think it's part of. the sims based on their religion. but really this is a war on islam. and islam craig monte was an aft be an informant sent to infiltrate the muslim community in south in california and he says that while the f.b.i. insist it's acting to defend the u.s.

from potential terrorist attacks and slapping suspicion on an entire religious group people here say americans have their mind sent to mistrust arabs and muslims and it's not simply because of the identification of the nine eleven hijackers but more from a decade of muslims being. vilified by hollywood as jihadists islamic extremists and terrorists. are right but people here believe the problem is far greater and concerns many minority communities targeted because of their free and there it's nice to take. this not just about the muslim community because what happens is that our constitutional freedoms start getting weak and for everybody and we're starting to see that more and more because we have allowed this to happen it means for a fod and many others in minority communities nationwide they will be forced to

live life looking over their shoulders even in their own country i have to constantly watch myself it's almost like there's you know mental check that i have to constantly put myself through whenever i visit or go to the mosque or go to events with the community because you never know somebody that might be listening might be enough yeah i'm mad mike in the question archie reporting from los angeles california. over a billion people use the likes of facebook and twitter but next tonight we ask if we're all getting a bit weary these days of being wired. social media websites have been making headlines for years is the craze coming to an end any time soon this week let's talk about that do you use social media i used to actually just lead to my facebook why is getting tired of it tired of trying to

keep up with everyone do you think the world is getting a little bit over social media yeah a little bit yeah you know when mom start using social media time to go my grandma is actually using it to use no but not because i don't like being tried don't like putting too much of my personal information on this kind of social network photo you assume i like the one provisional ones like linked in but the public ones like of in the to be very specific to. some people put a little too much information on there i think yeah why do we care about what people eat and what they're doing every second every and every meal they ate you know but it's a good way to keep in touch with people too so what about the phone what about you know going over to your neighbor's house and saying hi exactly i think people are getting away from that and it's too easy to just do it online nowadays i think there's a lot of good uses for there are some uses we found in the school system not so good like what some of the bullying that goes on and i think is too many young people are kind of think what's the big deal if i give somebody

a threat over there where i've seen police officers get involved with kids or do those kinds of things because it's it's a threat whether it's on facebook were in person so do you think that social media is going to change to be a little bit safer or is it just going to get where i think it needs to change and i think it takes everybody to get more with the tender stand it may actually do social media strategy for a job yes your life depends on social media a little bit i do other things as well but it's one of them yes he use it every day in your personal life i do one reason i think that i'm decent at social media strategy is because i. i am a little bit sick of it so it has to be really good right is it just seems to be so omnipresent now that i think there's a something bigger and greater and better is going to come about. yet the second coming jesus is going to come through social media and acts and words has twitter that's i need a to be part of jesus that's what i'm sure he has what right right right exactly so do you think the social media craze is coming to an end why don't you tweet about

it and fee if anyone cares. so much just to the kevin i just ahead pay the bills on the money discussing the course russia's president putin will now take opening statements from that just ahead south the headlines next live from moscow.
