spillers that's when were. they on the on your on last minute and will almost never. impose when inspiration or of course minor or those but it was bush announcing it a culture of corruption that is going to go on the stove. and the three new stories out without the go i don't know sort of coming up a shield don't want it also needs we need them one else what's a lot of nuance over one hundred so i didn't also if they stay on the dish network only if the so about last stop the most last dance the first if you just also go before that's an onion with twelve i'm not. so much a bullet as going to go. thank you much rougher you can so you just need to know that you. want to leave so you. go to the store of dreamy

stipulated shock no not another one of the schwarz. but asparagus the former made response. now there is only a couple of weeks left for applicants to put themselves forward to be in the running for next year's russian presidential election a few names are already in the hat but as far as the foreign media is concerned at the moment there's only one man they are focusing on and that's the outspoken opposition leader alexina valmy he has clocked up plenty of column inches in the western media over the years where he's described as a challenge to the incumbent leader vladimir putin but never elmis not eligible to stand for the election after being found guilty of embezzlement and given a five year suspended prison sentence even so he's regularly described as a kremlin critic who tracks thousands of supporters on sunday he submitted the necessary paperwork to be a candidate for the next election in march hundreds of supporters joined him but the numbers were marking down on his last attempt in twenty twelve and then more

than thirty thousand did turn out in moscow. another contender will see a new name in the running for the communist party to putting forward pavel good in it he replaces an election veteran who had been trying to get the kremlin's top job for over twenty years you've done of takes a closer look at the election hopeful. his name doesn't say much if anything at all to the majority of russians meet pavel gruden and the new face of the russian communist party in this presidential race he's taking the place of a man who ran for the communists in every election but one since one thousand nine hundred ninety six so who is he was he known for and why i put him on the ballot well first and foremost he's a businessman who's been building a socialist utopia in miniature for just over a decade just outside moscow nicknamed the strawberry king he governs

a small community that's become a shining example of what socialism can achieve. it . expects to. these are some of the socialist dreams turned reality at the livin farm gordon has long been active in the grassroots russian politics he was one of lattimer putin campaigners back in two thousand helping him rise to power a decade later he switched factions and backed the communists saying russia had taken a wrong turn russia's communist party of today is a very different beast from the one during the soviet union and gruden hopes to steer it more towards a swedish or german style of socialism citing his own socialist success outside moscow even of my own. after farming community that i've led for more than twenty

years we've done everything to show that if socialist ideas hadn't been abandoned but instead had been firmly adhere to we don't now be living like in our community which means free education free health care social benefits for pensioners free workshops for children and all the other things that you've seen that you know so the intrigue is now will he managed to tempt all of russia with his ideal of a socialist oasis it has done of. thanks being with us this morning still ahead we take a look at what might make christmas merry for mrs merkel and also the curious choice to take the chair for a leading teen magazine in the u.s. their stories still ahead.

you know when you don't. know. if you speak french. join me every. time i'm sure i'll be speaking to the world of politics or. i'm sure i'll see you.

hello again i was makes his way around the world today delivering toys to children our correspondent in berlin has been wondering what chancellor merkel may have written on her christmas wish list after a difficult. imagine if you will that i've been able to get a hold of the letters to some said it was written by mrs anglo merkel from right. now i'm not saying this is the german chancellor's letter to santa claus just saying some else can't keep secrets aside from a new german football jersey and i wish that they mom shaft when the world cup in russia or in twenty eighteen there are a few pressing political points it seems that the chancellor and asking out saint nick for a pretty help which. disarms her please can we sort out the coalition shenanigans . we will not

abandon our voters for a policy with which we are not convinced it is better not to govern than to govern sadly and successful coalition talks is right up there for the chancellor it's been months since the election here in germany and when the go see a sions with the social democrats on forming a new grand coalition get underway in january their fall from a done deal the same leaders and still in charge of the same parties who are all still backing the same agendas they did when they couldn't form a coalition or said they wouldn't form a coalition just after the election we're not entering a grand coalition we said this clearly illusory after the elections and we still stand by this angle of merkel's christian democratic union party are also unchanged in their negotiating stance but a bigger problem may come in the form of their prepared sister party the christian social union they may be less than willing to give up ground to the center left in

order to do a deal and it cost the voice of conservatism and perhaps germany's most conservative state the christian social union a huge local election coming up this year that's also a big period of transition for them stepping down is horse z. hot for their long serving out outspoken. leader he was always almost always willing to step into line behind lynn well he is going to be replaced by marcus who's already being trying to appeal to the party's base and it's the party's base that doesn't like a lot of anglo merkel's policies particularly when it comes to refugees and asylum policy. can you make it say the c.s.u. did stuff this out for me. it was our world is accidental christian jewish humanistic islam has now made an outstanding contribution to the last two hundred

years and now we have to be clear about the roots of our own man but there are those that have started to write anger merkel's political obituary heading into twenty eight thing i'd say that was a bit premature for a chancellor that remains personally popular with a large proportion of the people here in germany however it's not like she couldn't benefit from a christmas wish or two coming through wishing you all a very merry christmas from all of the team here in germany for our three in berlin i'm peter all over so a quick question on what would be on the wish list for other world leaders will and . has been asking people in london. i think probably was the breaks it never happened and that she was never promoted to prime minister probably. so it wastes is still to see how we can help. you do it.

probably a better way to deal with maybe north korea in some way a. drinking straw. so. i guess he's always going to need. to go to spice. just bring out all the cliches. muscles. the most stable europe probably. pretty happy. for anything. now in

a year that has seen hillary clinton try to explain away it's become the us president with a tell all book she's got american youth in a washington correspondent. on the. and that's exactly what hillary clinton's been doing since she lost the election searching for any way whatsoever to get back under the spotlight and when teen vogue invited her to guest at it december issue what resulted was an ode to hillary never the less we resist guest edited by hillary rodham clinton and it features no less than three essays written by various women on what exactly they learned from hillary clinton and as an american female i feel as though i've learned so much from her myself so here's my list number one it's perfectly ok to be totally

hypocritical i believe. that marriage is. not just a bond but a sacred bond between a man and a woman i support marriage for lesbian and gay couples i support it personally and as a matter of policy and law number to deflect criticism by shaming anyone who criticizes you as sexist this is a man who has called women pigs slobs and dogs number three never take responsibility for your failures last but not least number four blame russia for everything that was on the way to winning until the combination of jim crow means letter on october twenty eighth and russian wiki leaks raise doubts in the minds of people who were inclined to vote for me but got scared off the one thing that i would say that i've learned the most from hillary would be to be as far away from her brand of politics and divison from this as i can possibly be hillary has spent

an entire career trying to chop up what is the fabric of america i race by gender religion by political view bipartisanship as she's divided america to such a point that america was almost. unrecognizable another section contains advice for young woman in quotes from well you can guess who but too bad the issue doesn't include her best known quotations you could put half of trump's supporters into what i call the basket of deplorable or this piece of humor to dodge a question on inspirationally wiping her email server before giving it to the f.b.i. . like a clock or something. ok so it is vogue after all so here's your fashion advice from hillary clinton if i want to knock a story off the front page i just changed my has style.

and here's chapter three a set of pictures of hillary clinton laughing but here's a special moment i think they missed we came we saw who died. so what's next after teen vogue well it seems hillary might be marketing herself almost like she's going out of fashion i think that it is diminishing the intelligence of young women who want to have both sides or all sides presented to them and then to be able to be entrusted with the information to make an intelligent decision when you only present one side of an argument you say you send a message to teen girls we don't think you're smart enough to figure this out for yourself so we're going to tell you what you're going to think that's propaganda not free not free speech. now one of the key attractions at the disney resorts in florida the moment is the hall of presidents which does feature leaders past and present in robot form and i have finally got donald trump in place to offer

a six month delay but those who've seen it do say there's more than a passing resemblance to a certain someone we've just been talking about.
