it is a pleasure to have you with us here on r.t. today i'm rory sushi live in moscow barack obama has vowed to move america forward in a victory speech to cheering supporters after winning the us election to stay in office of course for a second. america's incumbent comfortably past the two hundred seventy electoral vote threshold in what had been a hard fought campaign republican challenger mitt romney conceded defeat after losing in a number of key battleground states. can has been following the nervous night that gave obama another four yes. well mitt romney has accepted his loss president obama is reelected and got his supporters very excited of course but this year one could

sense that overwhelming euphoria that was there four years ago where president obama was running for his first term was not quite there anymore is that that his supporters are not excited they are we saw that at the democratic rally in the president's home city of chicago but with the rest of the country feels more like. relief rather than you for you there has been quite a bit of disappointment over the last four years the economy is not recovering as fast as people would want it to the obama campaign's argument is that he inherited such a disaster in terms of the economy that the process couldn't possibly go faster but again a lot of it has to do with very high expectations for the president when he took office just a few months ago the president's job approval rating was barely above forty percent is that for now of course the argument is that a lot of people voted for the president because they were simply stared of mitt romney's aggressive rhetoric and they saw him as someone who's out of touch with

the middle class the obama campaign has been successful we making that argument as well as the argument that mitt romney would be like the second coming of george w. bush with more wars on america's plate and possibly another disastrous economic meltdown more on the celebration and the expectations of the obama voters here's my report. and the winner is i want to think every american who participated in this is likely to the if you made your voice her and you made a difference mitt romney has accepted his loss destroy social bomb want to congratulate him on his victory. for lawn excitement in the president's hometown of chicago to do the. president obama's daughters chanting four more years savor the weapons they expect in the next four years and are they so happy with the

past four of his presidency the congress hasn't been very cooperative the past two years but i think he needs these four more years to continue i'm very happy with what he's tried to achieve i really need to have the help of the health care that he's going to offer and like i said we need more time than the last four years the main pledge of president obama's campaign has been to bring back the shrinking middle class and made the economy slow recovery and gigantic deficit at a time when the gap between the rich and the poor is as high as ever in america i want to give middle class families and folks who are striving to get in the middle class some relief. because they have been hit hard the president has blamed congress for his inability to implement a more robust plan to help out the middle class president obama's claim that he's being handcuffed by republican lawmakers in his plan to dramatically cut taxes for middle income americans does not hold the vast majority of americans and our entire economy hostage while we debate the merits of another tax cut for the wealthy and

skeptics argue there is no reason to believe congress will give the president an easier ride in his second term however president obama had no problem with congress when he signed into law the controversial legislation which allows for the detention of american citizens for indefinite periods of time without charge in due process and incredible the trail of our civil liberties that the president has assumed and dictatorial rights to put us in prison at his pleasure without charge or without trial and congress did not stand in the president's way when he was increasing military spending year after year something you almost bragged about during the debate on foreign policy our military spending has gone up every single year that i've been in office. the actions of the administration overseas in the last four years have indicated that the president described in favor of military interventions but is the clear strategy is to stay

away from fighting ground wars to opt for more hit and run style interventions like the one executed in libya. syria the administration indicated that they would like to intervene more actively but for now syria just seems too complicated and washington cannot count on a desirable outcome for us to get more in tangled militarily in syria is a serious step and we have to do so making absolutely certain that we know who we are helping that we're not putting arms in the hands of folks who eventually could turn them against. us or allies in the region having spent around a billion dollars in this election campaign brock obama is america's commander in chief again president obama will be sworn into office in january something his supporters are very excited about their hopes and expectations include jobs no more devastating wars and no more financial meltdowns there was a good number of people who voted for barack obama because they were voting against

mitt romney's seeing him as more aggressive especially when it comes to foreign policy and seemingly out of touch with middle class america and a lot of people didn't see a choice at all in this election in washington i'm going to shake out. but with obama to remain in the white house now the question is how will washington develop its relations with the rest of the world let's talk about it more with our team correspondent there live for us in jerusalem good to see you paula as we know israel has lauded obama's victory however it's fairly common knowledge over the past four years relationship the relationship between washington and tel aviv hasn't been exactly peachy now has it. no it certainly hasn't what we have seen from the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is that he has not shied away from making it publicly known that he would have preferred a republican inside the white house he said he felt that romney was more friendly towards israel then a bomber what we now witnessing and what we have seen in the past is sometimes very

public clashes public spat between the obama administration and israeli leaders and these were often over the iranian nuclear program as well as palestinian peace talks now there are commentaries at the moment circulating here in israel that say that netanyahu now has a very serious problem on his hands and there is no way that he can cover it up until now who has issued a short email a short message of congratulations to a bomber but we are hearing from israeli parliamentarians who are expressing their disappointment with his victory they say that they feel they are going to be pressurised into making concessions a recent poll put the support amongst israelis towards romney at fifty seven percent twenty one percent supporting a bomb or under the watch as of netanyahu and obama the relationship between the united states and israel has deteriorated to an all time low and there are real concerns in terms of what this means what israeli foreign policy moving forward the big question of course is the whole question of what netanyahu now will do these

are very rare and he has been quite vocal saying that he is threatening to strike iran but it is quite clear that he cannot carry out such a strike without american support and obama for his side has not given the support he has indicated that he would not support any kind of military intervention so it looks as if netanyahu increasingly is now in a difficult position he has been caught red faced is he going to go ahead with the strike and if indeed he doesn't because it seems that he can't what then is he going to back down from a position that he so clearly has put forward in the past. let's address the middle east from a wider perspective we all know there's been a so much told. listen changing the region over the past year and to know what does it mean for obama's reelection in the area in general we all know during obama's first term in the white house he made that incredible and passionate speech in cairo took to a vaastu muslim audience and seemed for a while to win them over has it worked and what we expect now.

well most in the arab world have preferred and obama victory and would and rather than a romney win the saints really is that he is a relatively more moderate leader then romney but this doesn't mean that there isn't a lot of trepidation in his ear to see within the arab world you mentioned the speech back in two thousand and nine that now famous cairo speech in which a banner pledged that a new chapter was opening in and marry can muslim relations but since then there has been growing disappointment over the way he has dealt with issues in the arab world particularly these are the muslims he was a lot of criticisms leveled against him in his administration over the way they handled the arab spring they were accused of employing double standards and inconsistency and also accused of meddling in countries such as egypt and libya and then when it comes to the so-called unnoticed revolutions of the rain for example with pro-democracy demonstrators have been taking to the streets a bomb has kept quiet on the issue of syria there he has lend support to the

opposition in their attempts to topple the syrian president bashar assad and there are no signs that he's going to back away from this position so much so that he's even hinted that if the syrian regime uses chemical weapons he will intervene militarily in that country and as a result you have many within the united states as well as elsewhere in the international community really worried that america could soon find itself in boiled in another major war or about his policy of a life in jerusalem thank you. well where the middle east is concerned the u.s. and the e.u. often are close allies but as officers lower smith explains the support for obama's strategy is fading on the other side of the atlantic europe is very unwilling to commit any more troops to any more battles abroad the problems in the middle east i think of the us the us is having reflect hugely in europe and in fact in a poll published in desh biegel newspaper in germany we have that

a bonus foreign policy rating in europe has drop since his election in two thousand and nine from eighty three percent to seventy one percent said people here and clearly worried about that and of course i think the major and most pressing issue is the economy the u.s. economy and how it recovers has a huge knock on effect in. the u.s. appears to be in a much slower recovery than was hopeful many are worried that obama isn't doing as much as he could be doing mean little fall in unemployment and little increase in the size of the private sector and in fact this yeah the european countries in here in need in the u.s. entered into a sort of war of words france and germany in particular felt that obama was much too involved much too medals in what they were doing with their economies germany told the u.s. to mind his own budget mind his own deficit before it looked to other countries and france directly said that the u.s. was responsible for the economic crisis it had nothing to say about how they were

going to get out of it so we had reactions from david cameron he tweeted his congratulations as has the e.u. commission to say it's all smiles on the surface and i think there are some issues to be discussed underneath was the congress on a reaction coming in from around the world are no exception russia's president vladimir putin has congratulated president obama welcoming his reelection. go to prescreen off explains the ties between the two nations might well be tested during obama's second. many do view mr obama as the engine behind the reset of relations with moscow and one of the biggest achievements is definitely the new nuclear arms reduction treaty but at the same time some of the biggest stumbling points in relations are still there including washington's plans for the anti missile defense system in europe despite moscow's concerns that it could be a threat to russia's national security we know that obama promised to be a bit more flexible on that really have to see how it works out and also the two

who are probably the most fierce opponents at the u.n. security council when it comes to the conflict in syria but certainly there are many things that you could work together on which could really tilt this relationship in either direction including things like how russia and the united states will deal with the syria or the iranian nuclear program. in the meantime though some experts are already saying that for the rest of the world in terms of washington's foreign policy it wouldn't have made much difference in the end who ultimately won. there'd be very little difference between a republican or a democrat as we can see from president obama's policy of covertly funding syrian rebels. did you know about assassinations in tehran on terror on streets of academics we don't know and what we do know is american democracy works with. a massive elite force money what is obama promising in this kind of vague idea of

constructive engagement all the time supporting. terrorists we know president obama has been actively courting along with his secretary of state. in the rebellion in syria and of course supporting. libya so how so many who are you into thinking that president obama or president romney would be different when it came to foreign policy i don't know where they get that from our let's go over the stats. more time here and here's how the overnight voting played out for us a sizable advantage in the electoral college votes was held by victory in the west coast and a number of swing states as well among those were crucial wins in colorado ohio and virginia florida still there yet to announce its result as for the popular vote here the president's lead was not some extensive with obama just over two million votes in front. and richard spencer the founder and coeditor of alternative right

dot com says tight voting results reflect deep divisions within the u.s. in america demographics are is destiny and i think in some ways what this election represented was a demographic model or demographic snapshot of what this nation now is it's a nation that starkly divided in many ways between the rule white people and the red states and blue states non-whites and leave rule of law for income whites there seems to be a very very stark divide demographics aside that if you look at the ruling order in the united states there seems to be a great deal of stability brock obama kind of painted himself as his kind of left wing in a way changed let's shake everything up at the end of the day he bailed out fame he bailed out well story he wound down some stupid wars like the iraq war but he wound

up some of the smaller but equally stupid wars and libya and elsewhere so i think essentially they're saying sadly there's really a great deal of stability between these two already and the sooner they are going to wake up to that the better in my opinion well i do stay with the file a continuing election coverage on the reaction to the news that barack obama got what he wanted four more years and more news from ati after a short break. vitreous law often enough and knows that to ride a horse you've got to catch it first. for

him it's a daily routine that you're soft as a force on the island of a horn at the heart of. his life on an isolated farm is about blue sky green grass and his horses were there sometimes he gets lonely here but horses have become a part of me now i've fallen off so many times sometimes. it's part of my every day like. being home to a rats local just laugh for centuries most still live off the land cattle and fish. if my goal is often called the pearl of siberia and i said to be the pearl of by. it's all end of fake forests. and vast stops. virtually undiscovered by tourists until some twenty years

this is an opportune time to talk about all this stuff given that it is the election. so you know let's start with some of the pretty decent economic news we've seen recently i have a list of a few of the highlights i guess you could call them household debt is the lowest since two thousand and three reportedly we've seen increased hiring we saw you know better non-farm payrolls in september and october consumer confidence climbed in october to a four year high retail sales jumped one percent in september it's better than nothing i guess better than a decline so is the economy finally getting out of its slump and is this sustainable growth going to continue regardless of who's president. the interesting part of your question was the sustainable port you're going to pick that because you know old some of the i think. it depends on how you look at it from a longer term perspective versus a short term perspective if you look at it from a cyclical perspective it is completely sustainable.
