i think that unfortunately it will continue and i think that in israel we see the very very unfortunate situation i think that it should be more copper ration between russia and the west rather than the united states we will definitely be happy to see more cooperation in our region because our region is very unstable and israel is a very stable and flourishing country but our neighboring area is very unstable we see a lot of conflicts in syria and in. in yemen in more a more conflict and russia is a very major player came back through the middle east so we will definitely be happy to see less tension between russia and europe and russia and the united states i can remind you that israel didn't join the sanctions of europe and the united states and israel being a very close ally of the united states and very close ally of the western countries
8:31 am
of the western european countries israel is a very close partner of russia very close partner of the russian government and the president putin can remind you just the prime minister of israel benjamin netanyahu visited russia for meeting with president putin just one month and a half ago and before that he visited in june so they meet. often and they have very successful cooperation and we will be happy to see russia with less tension with the west in the west will. we hope will be more cooperative with russia we needed in our region and we needed for our security and we think that it will be better for the security and cooperation for europe and the united states as well. only time will tell unless of course. the form of ice. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu really appreciate your

thoughts thanks for joining us. this year past majority of polling stations were equipped with web cameras streaming everything that happened that meant that anyone could be an observer without even leaving the comfort of their home that's right anybody can be an observer first introduced in the twenty twelve presidential election of course expanded this time around it has helped to expose the number of electoral fraud cases this year. which.
8:33 am
this year's presidential election was being monitored by a record number of foreign observers over fifteen hundred had registered before the vote and among those who were present people from france poland and the united kingdom and their overall assessment of how it all went mainly positive. we have some team in moscow in cologne. it's a bus stop or rastafarian and the return is everything was normal everything is neat little bit like in france for example even maybe more because for example i saw in many places some care out to control we don't have that in front of the reports for the. stuff from the somewhere but. the good weather gets in motion we're looking right. didn't see any variation maybe i was too short
8:34 am
a time to. see one to two to see if. we were particularly interested in martin or the transmission of the lines to you so i sit here and. there was a system that's very different to the u.k. . you have the cameras in the cameras that work because you mean you can at the moment. because there's a lot of electoral fraud in the u.k. so it's not like they didn't criticize russia because we have got hold cells in the u.k. for various reasons. ok that's what the observers think and as i mentioned earlier this election comes at a tough time increased tensions with the west and the official reaction to mr putin's victory has been muted so far the media though they've already made their points clear let's go live to our europe correspondent peter all of her good morning to you i know it's early days yellow and your chance for
8:35 am
a breakfast this monday have any of the heavyweights where you are had anything to say i mean i'm. speaking to you right now from berlin and as of yet we've not heard anything from the chancellor's office from angola merkel regarding the reelection of as russian president will be hoping to hear from a spokesperson or from the chancellor excel herself monday goes on we did hear from the german opposition party alternative for germany they said that they. said they hope to work with russia in the future the aim being getting rid of sanctions against russia that they say harms german business but when it comes to the personal relationship between applied to me or putin and. it looks a lot better you would think than the business relationship which at times has been strained recently on the personal side it was revealed just last week that angola merkel sends a few bottles of blood to be a putin's favorite german over to the kremlin every now and again and in return she . receives some russian smoked fish that she has
8:36 am
a particular taste for but when it comes to the papers here in berlin and in germany as well and why did germany far less cause a relationship in fact the main tabloid billed ran an article on the sunday before a voted being cast congratulating vladimir putin it was an article pointed towards what build saw criticisms about the russian leaders election campaign and the whole election in general there's also been a number of articles suggesting that the whole spy saga concerning the attempted murder of surrogates and. the united kingdom is actually served to boost president putin's chances and ultimately that he did get himself reelected as president that's also been carrying on into what we've seen in the united kingdom as well over in the u.k. press reports they're saying that this whole this whole saga over the skinny files
8:37 am
attempted murder it actually helped president putin in fact we heard on election night from a member of putin's electoral t.v. a spokesperson for them saying in fact yes it it has done exactly that the stories coming out to in the u.k. press that encourage ballroom or people to come out and vote many of those casting their votes for vladimir putin and the rest of the stories they are ultimately negative where you'd expect them to be negative in the u.k. we've seen articles saying that there was no real opposition against mr putin that there was a vote tampering that took place in i believe the guardian some of the cartoons have shown the russian president as a spider spanning webs in a web across legs under web across the globe so yes ultimately negative where you'd expect it to be negative positive though coming out from one party here in germany will be keeping an eye on the chancery to see what has to say when she arrives for work later this morning. usually by now we've got the details of the
8:38 am
phone calls that have gone on between leaders nothing reported as yet though peter all of the view from europe thanks for that. crossed the atlantic the mood in the media and among politicians was similar to that in the u.k. the news of securing reelection prompted some senators to fire will stick comments . take that story there are many russians who voted in the us and they expressed concern over the process in the us and we start off with the russian ambassador comments who said that he had hoped that the u.s. would take interest in the various acts of provocation that took place during early voting in the u.s. and he also said that some people even received threats but upon receiving word of president putin's when both the mainstream media and american politicians attempted to deal idjit of mies russia's political process the washington post called sunday's vote a charade and the new york times wasn't so far off calling it a hollow election and even compared it to the soviet days where there was just one
8:39 am
name on the ballot c.n.n. did the same going as far as to compare him to joseph stalin but no reactions from the white house yet but several tweets from your favorite anti russian officials senator mccain took to twitter to discredit putin's victory calling it a sham and going on to say quote the u.s. stands with all russians yearning for freedom which is interesting because prior to the election putin managed to maintain over an eighty percent approval rating but despite running against multiple candidates representative adam schiff said that putin only won because he banned his opponents from running a saying quote it's easy to win when you bar your opponents from running but besides the usual is a whistleblower edward snowden had some words regarding a ballot stuffing that allegedly took place saying that it's quote an effort to steal the influence of one hundred forty plus million people snowden also urged russians. citizens to quote demand justice demand laws and courts that matter take
8:40 am
your future back and just a little reminder edward snowden was granted political asylum in russia and that's where he's been ever since now i'm sure that the west will continue to react to speak teary and we'll be bringing you more of that. now after taking in all that history professor peter because nick says the united states mainstream media are working themselves into a cold war frenzy and fighting to get a balanced picture of what's happening in russia. relations between the united states and russia are the worst they've been certainly since the end of the cold war and in many ways the most dangerous situation we've faced since the cuban missile crisis in one thousand nine hundred two this is not getting any better if you turn on television the united states all the major networks are demonizing putin the american media is in a very much of a cold war mindset it's partly frightening because many of the people who were so
8:41 am
critical of the cold first cold war are now the cheerleaders for the second cold war so if you turn on the american media you don't see what i consider more balanced portrait of flat amir putin. that's been a policy that came second and usually does but usually by stronger margin i was disappointed the communist party this time around it's kind of it wealthy businessman public ready to go less than twelve percent in this poll the results the worst in the policies recent history and it seems to have affected getting into talks with communist party leader good on the who's run several times in previous presidential elections. just very true but it would be just. one of the dressing rooms if you're. going to get rid of this if he's. going. with you but we're going to go over there with your teacher is going to come . that's going to. be crucial because. for some watching the
8:42 am
election the biggest intrigue was not about who won but rather about how many votes the communist party counted good in and would secure in a pre-election interview he pledged to shave off his mustache if he got less than fifteen percent in the poll bang grenades interviewer isn't going to let the matter drop he posted this head on his instagram account take a look. with him getting at least eleven does and many will be watching see if he keeps his word so we took the liberty to show you what he might look like if he does. have the right to tell a parent he stands at sixty seven percent that's a little more than the election in twenty trials as you'd expect people from all
8:43 am
walks of life came to call. the police i've. got a short. cut . to my computer should. leave the room if. it is an absolutely beautiful day here is. in the center of moscow and you've been watching our special

8:45 am
passion from the fans it's the age of the super money killion a loan to spend spend be true to the twenty million and one player. it's an experience like nothing else going to be true so i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful guy a great so well chance with. the chiefs it's going to. the far right and britain isn't just on the march it's taking violent month daughter's action i know what i need to hit at the dog and i see those organizations which only used to split into which we feel different names how do you view the.
8:46 am
complex web of richard fascism. american minutes one is the melting pot and the second is the alger myth of of the bootstrapping of anyone can succeed in america the works are so this is a whole group of people all generation in america is saying that there is no melting pot we're not being assimilated there's no opportunities we can't live up so their response essentially is to go into conflict and this is a major. well you know the hard thing we've kind of adopted because we were called pirates for so long. i've been there in the small boats next to the harpoon ships and it's still very. much up in. the limited self to be

8:50 am
didn't think that there was something odd about your finances way back when and it was only when you're all banged manager was jailed that you suspected that you had been the victim of fraud. when you put it like that i am a bit of an idiot. but the reality is that even in the early two thousand prior to the crash we still respected bankers and we trusted bankers sure yeah i think we did and. in two thousand and three four when my businesses started to suffer issues with their relationship with h. boss i still thought that it's all your fault yeah yeah and even after the collapse of the business it's when they were forced into administration in two thousand and seven i put it down to one of those things in life that actually i had been a rubbish businessman and so yeah however naive as it sounds when almost
8:51 am
a year ago five people went to prison for forty seven years for this crime. was a light bulb. i apologize for interrupting the program but let's listen in to the head of russia's central election commission pamfilova get the latest on the turnout of the candidates results being stations to cast their ballots. as they provided guidance to the candidates. on what they would like to see going forward thank you for being. passionate about it i think you for doing your duty i think you so much. thought i mean it was more sinister just now your had an opportunity to
8:52 am
track. the election. online which you were also heard accounts of here. just. the room was dimly lit but the election counter was on and with people. on it. that and that but. this is a brushing year we provided online broadcasting from all the territorial selection. commissions urbanize so that anyone. trust go online and monitor this process so we had doubled monitoring double surveillance everyone was able to watch it.
8:53 am
and we had a whole army of observers. according to preliminary estimate. we mean this is just which in fact much as you. know we believe. there were but. she did you do you believe in addition a bit of dirt in your book for. four hundred. seventy four point five thousand pounds. wallace. i thought it again these were like four hundred and seventy four point five thousand observers. from the candidates and we also had that. point five thousand media representatives and we also had one hundred and five thousand observers like you just.
8:54 am
but it is just your station locally so. that we had like a total control and roughly six. polling stations. at the polling you know suppose for us you and again we had some of the. election members election commission members that. had a mandate to to do photo and video recording and we did get some. reports related to. an error in some of the regulations and we've changed that we amended that and we were not done in miami and then it sent another memo to all the election
8:55 am
commission members saying there they do have the right to do video and photo recording and that's now so far we have not had a single incident at least we don't have a single reporter of any observers being. evicted from a polling station that's. just sort of on the thing we thought we continued to work with the. law enforcement. but trying to get information from them. i asked my staff to provide me with some information on that there was a report on an incident involving a member of the election. commission. like you that question the fact of again that was just one reporter which has not been
8:56 am
confirmed no other reports from other candidates have been registered. i don't know but there also had a pool of international observers will provide information later on. it's straightaway. total. disaster and we had one thousand. five hundred thirteen international observers from one hundred fifteen countries. yup so so i do have the latest in front of me i don't know when you sat in the number of international organizations that send their observers is fourteen
8:57 am
a number of international observers. the number of observers sent by those fourteen international organizations. is nine hundred and seventy seven. so i just started you shared but a novel could. also have. the observers from oh dear char. char so we have four hundred eighty one from them minus twenty one who canceled the condiment. one so i mean. i just can't look in that little doubtfully it just thought she. just lost her also one hundred and four. observers who were who represented different diplomatic missions embassies and consulates
8:58 am
for fifty one country as in the us and i don't yet as you know we've been invited. diplomats what in moscow to update them on the lection and on the possibility to observe is a little you would ask what. now will be able to provide you a detailed breakdown by country. as i said we had to from the. see were also heads the parliamentary assembly of the c. one hundred seventeen representatives of the c.i.s. executive committee. the parliamentary assembly of the c.i.s. who also has had twenty six so observers from the shanghai cooperation organization are also had twenty six observers from the parliamentary assembly of the russia
8:59 am
union states this somebody collective security treaty organization observers. the world association of election commissions are all with similar circulation from europe the arab over the action commissions for observers there were also. observers five of them. but how much did it she did not the two thousand and twelve she. asked on the debt we had. six hundred and eighty five observers from fifty eight countries so as you can see six years later in two thousand and eight we doubled the number of representatives and the number of countries that did not have someone who we believe the election
9:00 am
was. as open as possible anyone who. wanted to track the election had all the various opportunities to monitor the election at least for me and my staff tried to provide the best conditions. and you dispose in the regions. of service got interrupted access. on our behalf we tried to stage was so good as open and action a sparse middle provided friendly an atmosphere is passing also that are international. observers our colleagues could care to know on by. assessments. we didn't try to. watch this cheat anyone.
