rating prior to the election and despite running against multiple candidates representative adam schiff said that putting only one because he banned his opponents from running well besides the usual anti russian officials whistleblower edward snowden had some words regarding ballot stuffing that allegedly took place saying it's quote an effort to steal the influence of one hundred forty plus million people now snowden also urged russian citizens to demand justice demand laws and courts that matter take your future back now the u.s. media echoed a similar sentiments no surprise there but i'm sure more officials will be speaking out as the day continues but it is surprising however that spokesman did leave mentioned developing relations with russia especially considering all of the allegations of collusion and the current anti russia political climate. this year the vast majority of polling stations were equipped with web cameras streaming everything that happened that meant that anyone could be the observer if they

wanted to write the code for that but how does that work you know it's paid off as well the practice was first introduced to twenty twelve presidential election and indeed this time it's hoped to expose multiple electoral fraud cases in this photo which is times well. thank you. thank you. for trying. it's. a us.

this year's presidential election was being monitored by a record number of foreign observers at one thousand five hundred in fact now they include purpose representatives from france poland and the u.k. and with that overall assessment being mainly positive we always see mission in fact russia said there were no alexa law violations that we did say the folks somewhat like transparency we spoke to some of the us. to say that they didn't see anybody later maybe i was too short a time there but i don't i don't think that and about asians where. we wanted to see how it works we were we are particularly interested very much in the transmission line which is i sit here on very high level really. important to introduce the deceased and i wish that also in truman the you would have the opportunity sure lect or president by direct elections or coop consists of

eight different members of. parliament i want to congratulate mr putin and hope that we can improve cerm of the russian relations have to disallow actions it would be really important for us because also the chairman's suffer because of sanctions. all the pressure was quite positive there was no. system out there of fraud of pumping back with. we were a car for election observers in every polling station so what i can say from my observations for this was positive and this was a general mood among the other election observers here in moscow sort of procedure yesterday was all in all. the average of. ten or make an observation what was the. let's get more of the reaction now next of the next few minutes starting with europe the election result comes amid increased

tension with the west something that's been reflected in some of the reaction coming in there. peter all over your correspondents got the latest from berlin. took a long time to get any reaction out of germany where i'm talking to you from when it eventually did come it actually came from brussels in the form of heiko mass the new german foreign minister speaking on his way into anything of european union foreign ministers there in the belgian capital the city give mr volatile the results of the election in russia which was as unsurprising to was as the circumstances of the election russia will remain a difficult but russia will also be needed for solutions to the big international conflicts and so we want to remain in dialogue so that was followed by congratulations from the german president from fault before angela merkel added congratulations to the german chancellor stressing the importance of dialogue in the future is fighting me appeared takes over

a fourth term as russian president and she wished him luck with the challenges that he would face during that messages of congratulations coming from elsewhere from china from venezuela iran and japan however less congratulatory messages coming out of poland where the deputy foreign minister said that the north stream. to pipeline should be sanctioned that nine billion euro project should actually be stopped elsewhere in the european union a group of member states headed up by the high representative for foreign affairs federica mark or any said that they would not acknowledge the results of the vote that took place in crimea they were also joined by. norway in saying that so when it comes to more congress tauriel messages they certainly came from the italian president sergio matter rather expressing his actual ations to vladimir putin and finally from france we heard from mr marquand he said that he wished that to me

a putin every success in his new term but he urged the russian president to provide some help on finding what happened with the poisoning of the spy said it is going to be done in the united kingdom earlier this month. but your correspondent there with more of the reaction from europe and around the world this was also the first presidential election we must remember for the only woman in the race. who start us off as the candidate against all the others i vote for as a vote against everyone else but it didn't capture the public's imagination of the reality show star turned politician came forth in the end with only one point seven percent of the vote at worst they thought she'd get to say it was not terribly good subject shared her reaction to the result without easily put trying to. thirty six year old liberal opposition candidate who devoted most of her time during the campaign to wiping out corruption in this country and also helping those she called

political prisoners in russia she will be given credit for spending a decent amount of time at the headquarters speaking to journalists her supporters to time she showed up there and the first time was only just a few minutes after the last polling station closed in russia and then. you could see it on her face she wasn't happy with the result there was nothing really to celebrate were guard lists of that though she kept portraying herself as the new prominent opposition candidate and that explains perhaps the heat in the debate she had with alexei know vali who's one of the fiercest critics of lot of more potent. deal with. sony. music. the music. does not mean you might.

imagine you're going to moon to. move the moon let's go back to that result that is just under one point seven percent perhaps if you ask any politician or around the world who is running for president whether he or she would be satisfied with these kind of numbers perhaps the answer you would hear would be no but in her case when i had an exclusive interview that was later than one am moscow time yet she stayed there that late sending a sob chag told me that she could still find positive things in that result of course it's not the result i would dream about but my campaign was not about results my campaign was involved talking truth on the propagandistic channel so federal t.v. in russia education is the most important value of my program educational russian

people of telling them truth abolish the cetacean believing trying to make them into stand the collection between their level of life and corruption that is there in the concrete after the debates with alexy nobody but you confident and that kind of future for us so. united opposition bloc i'm very disappointed by the discussion because i came there to discuss all future six years with putin and how we will fight with me but in stand we were discussing k.v. in my instagram which is ridiculous to my way just what is your maybe adjective or a few adjectives that you can use or some other words to describe this it's the success of freedom of speech and this is our most important success during this campaign was the vote itself i mean we should be realistic about this huge amount of support of putting this result well maybe it would be not seventy five percent

but sixty eight or whatever the steel we should meet that the majority of people now really want this president. the folks didn't quite go away because more headlines as well came out for some watching the election and i may or may not be one of those people the biggest intrigue was about who would would draw that out how many first the communist party candidate have a great team it would secure because best because in a pre-election interview he pledged to shave off his mustache his iconic mustache if he got less than fifty percent but he regrets that now if it means interviewer is going to let the matter drop it seems a very possibly his hands on his instagram account there we go nice. and with their greeting only getting twelve percent of cost money and no expecting him to keep his word that we've taken the liberty of showing you what he might look like if he last

saw graphics department using its own homes when you show you clearly well where we go who didn't have so supported a major event with us with star still firmly in place we can reveal tonight though he did to be willing to lose if woman rule condition was met by his interview you're a good. comic i got. some camera but he bill. leaves the selection was absolutely fair i'll shave it rots off in front of it. breaking news that mustache remains yeah now voter turnout is currently stands at almost sixty eight percent special little more than the election in two thousand and twelve i should expect people from all like both different kinds of people turned out to cost that vote and have best say. i'm. going to start.

to put. it up. to my relationship. i would be. so this vast country russia the biggest country on earth how do you say in the twenty eighty presidential vote we're going to leave you with a look at red square for now resplendent tonight let's spin that camera and take a look at the beautifully lit ramparts of the kremlin says the friendly ending up

at st basil's cathedral as we ponder the result take it in and bring in more coverage here on r.t. international its coverage thank you and i would say thanks for watching. many thanks to you kevin and nikita let's continue with the latest news for the presidential election that took place amid a diplomatic feud between russia and the u.k. over the recent poisoning of a former russian spy and his daughter in seoul very i do think he's done have joined me in the studio earlier with details. first of all it is bring us up to date with the details of that latest statement from from russia well neil it begin it's beginning to feel like a verbal tug of war so to speak so what happened today was the u. issued a joint in the very careful statement on the whole case of the poisoning of the script poisoning they did not pin the blame on russia but the expressed grave

alertness the grave worry about the whole thing they've said that the are treating the incident very very seriously and they've said that the use i quote of chemical weapons by anyone under any circumstances is completely unacceptable and they have demanded some more information from russia effectively because everybody's a lot of countries are pinning the blame on russia for it and the russian foreign ministry had no other option but to reiterate the statement that they've made a number of times already they've said the use fuelling the whole media hysteria that's what they've called it around the poisoning and they've said that russia has nothing more to demonstrate other than from what it already has demonstrated they've said that they have nothing to do with the poisoning that the nerve agent used in the apparent assassination attempt is not being produced in russia neither is stored the whole chemical stockpile of russian u.s.s.r.

has been destroyed but this is not the you know the repeated statements by the russian foreign ministry have not stopped the barrage of demands that russia explains itself coming from the western countries i mean the french president emmanuel mckown even included one into his congratulatory message to vladimir putin nato also weighed in on this have a listen we continue to call on russia to provide the complete disclosure of the program britain is to talk to leaders who is with our obligations under the right. on chemical weapons and i would contrast with the russians. i think what a lot of people find very first thing about this story is that the burden of proof as been thrown over to the russian side the message from the u.k. and its allies has been prove you didn't do it. but what you haven't seen is much evidence if any well it doesn't sound like there's a it's

a matter of evidence so to speak because the u.k. was the first on this bandwagon of russia bashing and they've been saying that it is highly likely that it is overwhelmingly likely that more school is behind this they are saying that moscow is the only this is the only side that could benefit from poisoning this person they've been saying that there's no other possible explanation boris johnson the u.k.'s foreign minister has said that he feels he senses certain russian ness around the whole incident what sort of argument is that what is the russian is really and so the foreign ministry tonight have really just stressed the point there yesterday was again reiterated by lattimer putin in his election speech have a listen. i think anyone with common sense understands that it is nonsense for russia to do such things before the presidential elections and the football world

cup and so russia has been expressing its eagerness to cooperate with the investigation they've repeated a number of times they've officially asked the filed an official request for samples of the nerve agent used to poison scruple to be provided to russia for analysis to find out what it's where it's coming from where it could be coming from who may have produced this sample none of the official requests of russia have been fulfilled instead there's been a barrage of accusations and of demands of russia explains itself. and while the u.k. government admits that it could take months to fully investigate the case that hasn't stopped london from publicly accusing moscow of being behind the attack on monday prime minister to reason may said that russia had the motive and the intention to poison surrogates cripple unstitch or can reports from the british capital. we've heard from the metropolitan police describe the ongoing investigation as quote

extremely challenging and complex has not been stopping u.k. officials including u.k. foreign secretary boris johnson and i think people can see this is a classic russian strategy of trying to conceal the needle of truth in a haystack old law you sound of the stage poisoning of surrogates creep is not an isolated case but the latest in a pattern of reckless behavior by the russian state while russia's guilt is really being pushed to the forefront and russia has to stay behind trying to somehow prove its innocence according to the approach the u.k. has taken we've seen that this is not the same story when it applies to different situations involving russia for once over the weekend boris johnson was asked about a hefty sum of money one hundred sixty thousand pounds that were donated to the conservative party by a russian woman and a wife of

a former russian minister who worked with logic putin for a tennis match with boris johnson and there apparently he seemed that was all right and listen into evidence is produced against individual russians i do not think the entire nation should be should be corrupted well today boris johnson is in brussels meeting with foreign ministers of the european union he's been speaking in addressing the press with the nato secretary general who's expressed solidarity of the organization with the u.k. and they have both talked about the disruptive and malign behavior that they continue to accuse russia of however of course we know moscow has been saying this whole time that it has nothing to do with the script all poisoning. we've spoken to craig murry he's a former british ambassador to his back a stand under north who says that british scientists are being very cautious in their wording regarding the origin of the nerve agent the scientists that the u.k.

is biology at porton down which handles chemical weapons the fused to say this nerve agent was made in russia the british government put munda heavy pressure to say this nerve agent was made russian they said it was no evidence it's made in russia so in the end the formula was agreed which was that the nerve agent is of a type developed by russia antibiotics were developed here in edinburgh first penicillin is all of a type developed by scotland but it doesn't mean all penicillin is made in scotland and the use of language you have to be very very careful with because they've never said this no the agent was made in russia or produced in the shower or manufactured in russia all they say all the time is it is overtype developed by russia alleged chemical formula producing the which works was published you can buy it from amazon it was published twelve years ago in a book and the of aliens with o.p.c. w.

supervision synthesised chocks in twenty sixteen so many people can make this. you're watching on scenes a national show you knew that already but i just though to remind you and hope you'll stick around more coming up in half an hour.
