for the united states of america the best is yet to come i believe barack obama promises to resurrect his four year old message of hope after winning his second term as president of the united states. and of course the world reacts to obama's victory from a cold response in israel and the arab world too cautious optimism in the halls of the kremlin. greece is about to vote on a new austerity measures with thousands of angry workers gathered at the doors of parliament as part of nationwide protests against.

worldwide news live from moscow this is with me roll received barack obama vows to fulfill his promise of change in a victory speech to supporters after securing a second term as president of the united states. now what was predicted to be neck and neck if not a tie turned into an electoral roll college a landslide. victory in almost every battleground state his republican challenger mitt romney who wasn't far behind in the roll votes to concede defeat. now reports on what was the most expensive win in all of us history. 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 when 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 scared 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 successfully 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 like. you made your voice server and you made a difference mitt romney has accepted his loss destroyed most of obama to congratulate him on his victory full on excitement in the president's hometown of chicago. president obama's voters chanting four more years. but what do they expect in the next four years and are they so happy with the past four of his presidency congress hasn't been very call 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 the new trend on the trail of our civil liberties that the president has assumed a 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. the administration overseas in the last four years have indicated that the president discarded in favor of military interventions but is the clear strategy is to stay away from fighting ground wars

in which to opt for more hit and run style interventions like the one executed in libya last excuse for 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 entanglement 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 our allies in the region having spent around a billion dollars in this election campaign barack 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 they don't see a choice at all in this election in washington i'm going to check on. richard spencer the founder and coeditor of alternative right dot com he believes victory exposes a clear problem and out of the increasingly similar lines taken by both republicans and democrats. 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 same courtesy bailed out wall story he wound down some stupid wars like the iraq war but he wound up some what are smaller but equally stupid wars and libya and elsewhere so i think essentially there is and 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. at least obama's victory isn't exactly a vocal that much tribulation israel openly back mitt romney who went out of his way to support tel of eve and while the arab world is not exactly enthusiastic and here's our bomb as floored it but moderate and the lesser of two evils middle east correspondent paula slim has this story. 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 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 palestinians 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 at a recent poll put the support amongst israelis towards romney at fifty seven

percent twenty one percent supporting obama under the watch as of netanyahu and obama the relationship between the united states and israel has deteriorated to an all time low 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 him the support he most in the arab world has preferred and obama victory back in two thousand and nine in his now famous cairo speech a bomb a pledge that he was going to introduce a new chapter in american muslim relations but since then there has been a lot of disappointment over the way he has dealt with issues in the arab world particularly these are the muslims it 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 about his policy reporting right comparing obama's history and mitt romney's promises on foreign policy a london based author and journalist afshin rattansi says. it wouldn't have made much difference who in the end won the white house 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 and do you know about assassinations in tehran on terror on the streets of academics we don't know what is obama promising except this kind of vague idea of constructive engagement while all the time supporting the terrorists we know president obama has been actively courting along with the secretary of state. in

the rebellion in syria and of course supporting also developments in libya so how so many libyan who are doing it 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. and while the e.u. off knocks in unison with the u.s. when it comes to the outside world on the economy though there's a deepening rift as artie's laura smith now reports obama's victory is getting only a or rather muted response in the old world. europe is very unwilling to commit any more troops to anymore 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 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 are worried about that and of course i think the major. moves pressing issue is the

economy the u.s. economy and how it recovers has a huge snow cone effect in. the u.s. appears to be in a much slower recovery than was hoped for many of worried or isn't doing as much as he could be doing that's been little fall in unemployment and little increase in the size of the private sector and in fact this yeah the european countries in here opinion and 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 and it had nothing to say about how they were going to get out of it so we've had some reactions from david cameron he tweeted his congratulations as has the e.u. commission has said it's all smiles on the surface and i think there are some

issues to be discussed underneath the course while laura smith reporting well up next i will be looking at the kremlin's take on obama's victory and how it may bode for the tobin ties between the two powers and much more after the break. the six america votes for its next president. of the us drives into the future. gets the news the mainstream this is without a close election. the us election up close. and. trimmings in this tree even for specialists a voice can produce several sounds it warms to the means the art of throat singing

comes naturally picked up like a language. a language of communicating with nature it said that's where throat singing originates from the unions believe not only animals but also surrounding objects like reverse forests and even stones of souls imitating the sounds they believe assumes to capture the power of nature. was. to get to one of the five main stars of scrotes engine it imitates the gentle breezes of summer chara whose name means great hunter says he suspects adopt. there are special instruments that accompany the singing if gainey says there is even a legend about his instrument a gill it says once there lived

thanks for joining us here on our to you today i rule re sushi i live in moscow and we continue with our u.s. election coverage. well do bear in mind here on r t you know we've been covering this now ever since the polls opened hours and hours ago of course here in r.t. we've been covering this from our d.c. bureau also here from moscow but for now let's let's shift gears here and r.t. and address what's going on actually in greece at the moment. standing by there for us as we know that more austerity measures are in the play athens again the scene of protests by greek sangria new austerity measures certainly they are making their presence being felt ahead in the capital there just ahead of fresh cuts again being demanded by international lenders the strikes and demonstrations against the builder brought the nation to a standstill artie's pitter all of a filed this report. midway through the forty eight hour general strike here in greece the greek people have been making their anger towards the next round of

austerity measures clear they were out in their thousands here on syntagma square on tuesday and they're going to be back later on wednesday they are upset at what they say are unfair measure is this going to be imposed upon them should prime minister some modest this latest round he says the last round of austerity measures he voted for and be okayed in the parliament building just behind me on whedon's day and right here where i'm standing on syntagma square is where thousands of demonstrators are expected to gather in order to show their displeasure for what is expected to be thirteen point five billion euros worth of cuts and savings forced upon them now the reason that that thirteen point five billion will be voted for is because it's being demanded off by greece's three main creditors and the reason that they're demanding of it is because the creditors the troika as they're called have said that if greece doesn't cut muscle fully then they don't get the next

round of bailout money and the question remains that has to be asked if this is voted for will there be enough political support in greece in order to enact these cuts. and a prime minister. has promised the greek people that this will be the final round of belt tightening. a lecturer at the university of the year jian things no doubt still more pain ahead. every a sturdy pockets in the past two and a half years was supposed to be the last one so no it's won't be the last austerity package we're going to see more of it and we're just been happening parliament is something very close to a parliamentary could get out you know very rapid way it will just one day two days of discussion we're going to pass i should slow that does not only include budget cuts or changes in the pension system and the wage system or large segments of the public sector it would also affect aspects. of taxation so

this is it's not hunger in a way we want it we're very far from you know democratic procedure is this is a set of measures that have been actually dictated by the troika this just going to be passed repugnant without any absolutes ghassan. we go now starting with bahrain which has revoked the citizenship of activists claiming they are putting the security in jeopardy for the monarchy has been repeatedly accused by the opposition of ordering a police and political crackdown against the protest movement and october all public gatherings were banned or the vote has failed to prevent hundreds of demonstrators from staging it's. twenty three people have been rescued after an overcrowded boat capsized off the coast of bangladesh around fifty others are missing the vessel was carrying illegal immigrants from me and was heading to malaysia hundreds of thousands of refugees have fled in the past decades to escape

ethnic violence. and its allies including the u.s. are reportedly considering patriot missiles along the border with syria i reports suggest that nato was preparing to take responsibility for the deployment of the missiles the plans however were put on hold due to the election period in america and the syrian crisis shows no signs of a let up in the string of deadly terror attacks rocking damascus earlier this week . all right so getting back an hour here on r t it's good to have you with us we continue our coverage of the u.s. election. and obama's election triumph has been welcomed right here in russia but the question remains whether his second term can breathe new life into the historically sensitive relations between both nations. more on the challenges ahead. many do

view missouri bombers the engine behind the reset of relations with moscow and one of the biggest achievements of that 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 n.t. missile defense system in europe and 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 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. all right oh let's take another look now at the near final results in the u.s. vote here's where the figures are still standing at the moment it was predicted to

be a toss up but barack obama swept almost all the swing states vital electoral votes thanks to those close wins he was beyond romney's reach by the fifth of nine battleground states among those wins in colorado ohio and virginia and with florida looking to fall into obama's camp as well and the popular vote was a closer race with the president nevertheless had a lead of over two million. and israel has announced plans to build more than a thousand new homes on palestinian land in the west bank the international community has already denounced the move saying it hampers peace efforts in the region palestinians are now looking for support from the un as the territory in question is earmarked as being part of a future palestinian state but jeff help of the israeli committee against house demolitions believes the jewish state will still feel safe that is under the umbrella of the united states. it's true the international community oppose.

israeli policies but it won't do anything to sanction israel and israel knows and it knows it whether obama's elected or romney selected its trump card is the american congress support that israel has from both political parties and it doesn't care anymore it will do this in the light of day israel has eliminated the two state solution it's called it's completely imprisoning the palestinians and no one in the world is going to speak up against it so it doesn't matter really if it's opportunistic or not the point is that israel wins. and it's the biggest electoral intrigue of this year draws to a close we'll be bringing you the final few results an expert analysis and of course our continued international reaction. to the six america votes for its next president. who takes the wheel as the u.s. drives into the future. get the news the mainstream misses with up close election

coverage the u.s. election up close. and dot com it's a pleasure to have you with us here on ars here today a gunman went on a rampage in moscow early wednesday morning shooting dead five people in severely wanting to he carried out his killing spree at a pharmaceutical depo where he was working as a lawyer he's been arrested and is being questioned apparently the suspect had been drinking heavily for several days after his girlfriend left him he reportedly published a manifesto saying he hated mankind although police kharkiv believe he acted out of jealousy. if you can do stay with us here on our special report breaking the set in just a sec. you can tell an ordinary russian siberian in the blink of an.

anthropologist in those days siberians wore different clothes eight different food . different animals. my journey began in two men but the big city was all shiny skyscrapers and shopping malls much like any other prosperous russian. so i decided to. a small town just outside. many. dumplings came from here to dominate the russian cuisine but only in siberia . filled with cabbage and making sure you can have many as a starter main dish. although it may draw. most people in siberia see nothing wrong with hunting only if

you decide to participate. when you look upon martin. as in the middle of a swamp only accessible by air transport in the summer. and winter. it's inhabited by siberian a large muslim minority that migrated head before the russians. and this. israel. maybe not this. there is a brochure but distinctive enough to show that alter oldies yes' siberia still don't quite like anywhere else.

so.

here is mitt romney trying to figure out the name of that thing that we americans call a donor tonight concludes the longest and while this campaign in our history covers in the eleventh world that maybe it's time for a magic up for our highs that's comfortable showing fresh cut all the twists and turns that have been the hallmarks of this campaign i want you to watch what we're about to do because you've never seen anything like this one stone. lots of guys i'm happy martin so if there's one thing i can say to sum up the last six months of nonstop election build up it's this the media the candidates

corporatocracy i can't wait for this. to be over ok now that i got out of the way let's go over a few of the biggest issues that have barely gotten coverage in the corporate press during the madness drones otherwise known as death from above these flying killers have a ninety eight percent failure rate act as judge jury and executioner and are one of the leading causes of growing resentment toward the us because the corporate media chooses to ignore the expanding killing apparatus doesn't mean that it's not important issue but i guess why would they focus on drones when both candidates feel the exact same way about them. it's widely reported the drones are being used in drone strikes and i support that entirely and feel the president was right to the usage of that technology and believe that we should continue to use it to continue to go after the people who represent a threat to this nation and to our friends. and that's the extent that drones have been mentioned by the candidates you know another thing that hasn't been given the correct gravitated more than a couple to.
