time and commutations m are allowed to. so it can do nothing but. something i have a very bad person so bring to the many times and some medicine from them but that doesn't work. i'm still struggling i ask him about what he wants to do if and after all this he wants to work he'd read economics at university and kaberle he wouldn't mind resurrecting his professional boxing career either but his talk is tentative working and living here sounds like a dream one that any day now could come crashing down with the arrival of a final deportation letter. so in just a few hours lot of may putin will be sworn in as russian president he won the election back in march and ahead of the you know gratian r.t. was given special access to the palatial interiors of the kremlin where the

ceremony will be held. this is lattimer putin's stairway to presidency so to speak he will climb these fifty eight steps before he gets to the halls of the palace also the site of the inauguration ceremony. this is the whole of military glory playing off to sing georgia and that is first hold lattimer putin is said to cost on his path to no curation it is also the biggest hole in the palace with its length be more than sixty metres. the next hole the hole hole of the order of single xander being in it right now is difficult to imagine that for the larger parts of the twentieth century none of

this even existed after it had been demolished by soviet leaders only twenty years ago this was brought back to its former glory. it's not all of the glitters is gold they say well it couldn't be more wrong for this place i mean look at this gilded villas chandelier even this this is the hole where the inauguration ceremony will be taking place latimer will be standing in the far right end of the hole once again in his life the same old thirty three words good will officially start his next tenure as the presidents of russia which has gone up from the from them. as we said the whole ceremony will start in just

a few hours and here on our team international we'll be following it right from the heart of moscow do taste stay tuned if you can't cross special you know gratian coverage. and still to come on the program when i see the number of homeless people in paris has now come to the authorities that to console and a new will race through the city more on that after the break. a plate for many clubs over the years so i know the game inside guides. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super money kill the narrowness and

spending surge of the twenty million and one player. it's an experience like nothing else not to because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful game great so will more chance with. the base it's going to take. about your sudden passing i've only just learned you worry yourself and taken your last wrong turn. you're out caught up to us we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry only i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each breath. but then my feeling started to change you talked about war like it was again still some more fond of you those that didn't like to question our ark and i

secretly promised to never again like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind gets consumed with death this one differs i speak to you now because there are no other takers. to claim that mainstream media has met its maker. and. past the hour here in moscow and i knew all that a ten kilometer race through the french capital will not be held this year due to the high number of homeless people many of the migrants camped out along the route

it is a problem many had hoped would have eased over the last year as artie's reports president michael had pledged that by the beginning of two thousand and eighteen no one would be sleeping on the streets of france let alone paris yet not only did he fail to deliver on the promise but it's getting worse much worse it's believed that up to one thousand eight hundred migrants of set up camp along the canal in paris and fears that that could explode to around two and a half thousand in the next two weeks has caused the organizers of the great race to graham paris to cancel the annual event.

the ten kilometer race between paris and song to me was to take place in just over a week's time but this is part of where the run is supposed to come through and as you can see it would be virtually impossible for them to navigate this section of the racecourse these makeshift camps are growing day by day the route is impossible it is disturbing to have to run the race in the middle of a refugee camp at last year's race around six and a half thousand people took part it was also adopted as part of paris's bid to host the twenty twenty four olympics embodying a couple of the games key objectives solidarity and ecology this cancellation so close to race day has disappointed many you know it's kind of unfair or because of improvising for one time and then you just cancel it last minute just. like they should have reworded it down that's what i think so it's two separate problems you

just do your race if your do your race and in the rider problem is something else i think they should fix that they help them more. you know when you walk in the street you can see them all the people lying on the sidewalks despite pledges to help migrants off the streets the greater paris region currently only has room to shell to seven hundred and fifty individuals far fewer than the numbers already here a number said to be growing in the hundreds each week organizers say they didn't want the camps to be cleared just so that the race could go ahead reluctant to be seen as a tool for social exclusion but safety concerns meant that they couldn't we reach either. participants have been offered refunds for a place in next year's event assuming of course there is one. in ski r.c. paris. the fashion world is embroiled in another racism scandal

after the cover of vogue italy sparked widespread criticism we'll show you the photo now despite the controversy it's featuring supermodel gigi how did who some say is recognizable here on social media the hash tag black face has been trending over the scandal but people pointing out that how did skin hair and facial features were photo shopped in style to appear darker than they really are. designed these folk would tell their mate he's through with all drug issue color now the lack of diversity in the industry for and they just broke a tower give us a black fleece jeezy how did she. what a great day for a walk to demonstrated the openness to diversity gigi hadid i hope you had nothing to do with a pro in this calmer when you see these kind of things happening just like we have the h. and m. campaigns and whatever campaigns they don't realize that ethics. the emotions of

people like you've got a lot of young black males growing up and they threw like they need to change themselves and really has a big effect across the world on a lot of young college girls of all different nationalities and races as well there's a lot of very famous models that they could use of color and the situation is that they were always trying to photoshop somebody to look different but it doesn't and it does in the hands of actually takes away and i think come a happens in hollywood also with movies when you have movies that are based in egypt and they used to say sort of a sort of a chicken out as i just think that's yeah has a very bad representation what is happening is does a gray area on the think the boundaries of the gray areas being pushed and pushed and pushed and each time to the question is are is this racism and something happens again is this racism it's a concious didn't see of gray here we are pushing between what could be racism and

what could it be racism and now it's like why why is people complaining why are people. moaning every five minutes about something that may not be racism g.g. to and of both apologized saying the photo wasn't meant to offend anyone but the magazine explained that it was trying to create a beach look with a stylized bronzing effect we spoke to a political commentator and radio host steve malzberg he believes there's nothing wrong with the photo at all and the scandal is all a fuss over nothing. here you have a beautiful blue eyed blonde model one of the top models in the world and they put some bronze on her and they photoshop the picture and now she looks i mean you could say she looks black or african-american she looks bronze to me but this is a whole big issue now where people take offense and they call it cultural

appropriation in other words you're stealing their culture so it's really at hand and we have to get over this in our society or it's going to do a very very much harm so i see nothing wrong with the shoot i think people are too sensitive and i think it's getting out of hand political correctness is getting at a hand. it's been revealed that the u.s. national security agency collected at the phone records of over five hundred million americans last year that is more than triple the number of twenty six to one and that is despite a new law limiting the spy agencies powers of the u.s. freedom act bans the bulk collection of phone records on internet metadata whilst also limiting government data collection to what is quote reasonably practical it does however permit the gathering of phone and text logs when a link to terrorist activities is proven or the recent increase in records collected comes in contrast to the concerns expressed last year by the u.s.

president well donald trump. i think that is a very big surveillance of our citizens i think it's a very big topic and it's a topic that should be number one and we should find out what the hell is going on in its mission statement the n.s.a. upholds a commitment to protecting the privacy rights of american citizens it also highlights the need for accountability when pursuing intelligence gathering the n.s.a.'s recent actions have raised concern among privacy advocates undone believes the spy agency has done little to scale back its spying operations even after being exposed by whistleblower edward snowden what was revealed by edward snowden the mass surveillance that he covered and exposed. my guess is it never stopped happening and that it's continuing to today and i you know most americans who are self-aware should assume that they're being monitored most of the time the u.s.

government said or about national security rarely have anything to do with the security of you know ordinary citizens like myself and everything to do with the security of corporations to make a lot of profit. i think you know it begs the question as to whether we're being monitored in order to stifle political dissent and i think. that is what i believe this is about and i think it's of of great concern in a country that claims to be a democracy and claims to be free. when i thanks for sharing a time with us here on r.t. international many more of your worldwide headlines for a monday to come at the top of the hour.

i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars of debt more than ten white collar crime stamping each dish. eighty five percent of global wealth he longs to be ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per circuit first second and bitcoin roasted forty thousand

dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need remember of one one business show you can afford to miss the one and only. the new global economic war is unfolding in the realm of education the right to education as being supplanted by the right to access to education low its high education is becoming judge. still another product that can be pulled and sold but it's not just about education anymore it's also about running a business and what you could do the models of regime could this also. follow it could mimic. what is the place of students in this business model before college i was born now and i'm extremely bored by education the new global economic

war. highlands was as part of core. donington disdain said standing stock poor. because of the fire of. the focus really on the wall street ballpark so we started off a little of it will start to put us out of you're going to be able to get out but. the story at all. goes to strike cruise could fall. on you so. let's throw out the call course plus we'll turn our back. ok when she sees her fall in the routine. and if you become a scene. in terms of a. mom

welcome to sophie and co i'm sophie shevardnadze as well as relations with the west are put to test lattimer put in a stake in the presidential office for the fourth time. what is. direction later light while i ask you bert bell german journalist who gave his view of the russian president and the documentary film i couldn't. hear exactly welcome to the show it's great to have you with us i haven't seen you in a while so we're finally doing this little chat and i'm glad we get to do this. so you've had unprecedented access to lead america. you personally came to an event

about your broke on him and you had face to face time with him during the shooting of your film about him he called you personally on the phone and you answer here bert i wonder why you i mean you may know more about our president than may be because he's a very private person why does to trust you you know look at. that person you know right when it's a matter of time. it's a matter of time because we went quite some months to go through for the film so. well. within three months distance for the book so you get to know a little bit and you know how over whom you can trust to a certain extent and that's the basis we have this kind of promotion so while filming your documentary i putin back in two thousand and twelve you had the chance

to see library putin in different settings what was your personal opinion off him and what kind of vibes as you pick up usually public figures of his scale are one person off the screen and then another person on the screen do you feel he was genuine did you sense like a public persona for the cameras being displayed for you. you know put it to the profession if you act like a professional of course but you have to a certain extent an identity and if you want to convince you cannot really cuts your identity you have normally from the profession you perform so i think to a certain extent but he is a technician too of course and he is an ex or is it because this business requires acting because you deal with journalists and children is as well so we have both a profession and react so to speak along the profession but the longer you speak to

each other the more you understand the way he acts and the way he argues and the way he is that's so i mean i come from a family of a former president well as well and i understand how these things work like when you're a leader you have to be tough the there's no room for emotions like your personal emotions don't really matter when you're you know handling global affairs you said that putin came across as very alive what kind of emotions did you get out of him during your conversations. he is an emotional guy so it is not very hard to play on the emotion but on the other hand he's a tactician too and he knows exactly what he wants to transform or what we want to bring over so journalists and politicians have to. play along this road well and of course they have a common currency the common currency is the public and so they behave to reach this am to get their messages through and that's

a kind of game on one side and then the other side it is quite serious because people rely and they trust what they get so to speak what they see and what they hear so both parties have to develop this kind of art and to stick to their profession and i think all in all put in lives by two things by his emotion and he is. in the long to he place a very long game he's so to speak a. long distance runner in politics and that's the way they underestimate him like if you want a little example by putin obviously had been under a mistake for such a long time in the beginning of my research i found a memo by a big bang it was in the memo was from the year two thousand when he took over office and the analysts try to inform the board of directors what kind of guy this

guy is what to expect and this implicit at that time. the mere vladimirovich is someone who got orders for the last ten years and he is very happy to be in this position and he follows these orders and this kind of so to speak underestimating this guy took place first in the beginning in russia and then it took place oh you mean believe me in the internet perception of him as someone who would follow someone else's orders is that what you mean yeah that's the. it's one of the things that the second thing that you always have been warned of is you know this guy's a former k.g.b. guy he knows how to deal with people definitely and it's true he worked once for this agency and definitely knows how to treat people but that's only one part of it is he is a very direct guy and if you respond to this direct to this directness you get results but i mean direct is one thing but do you feel like everything he tells you

is the truth or he can't allow himself to say the tradition in this world no politician in this world tells you one hundred percent of the truth it's a tactical appearance to a certain extent it's public and you want to transport something via public that what the business requires but at the same time if you do lie and if you do lie too often you're not to be trusted and look to the ficus basically from two thousand after two to today so if i think the figure. he had been elected with the percentage i think fifty three percent and if you go to twelve years later when he returned from the prime minister job he got a thing sixty four percent and now he's somewhere it nearly seventy seven percent so you have a steady growth and you cannot reach this in just lying to the population and. to you. to russia so to speak so when describing his persona you mentioned the

fact that he had a k.g.b. background and western media as well as to stablish men often put some special focus on put in the past as an intelligence officer i mean we all come from different backgrounds what is so special about that george bush senior was cia had before he became us president now body so this is a problem. no it is not a real a problem because it is the mona station basically what it is our of former foreign minister to us conclude was three years had of the b.m.d. so that you can use it as a kind of texture as a kind of threat from the past because we are all living on prejudices and if you develop these prejudices you can be somebody you know politics is theater it's trauma and the difference between. interests and so to speak are is very very big occasionally but it was always the

case this way and so as far as putting was concerned they use these three verbs. and i think this nothing else because it's just. a way to. say ok this guy is lying you cannot do anything different you don't trust him but it's a p.r. weapon nothing more so i want to go back to your film i know that there was a scene where put into a queue to the chapel and he talked about his faith why did you leave that scene out of the film i found it very very personal so i had more material than i needed so i had to think what to use and what not to use i found that in the very moment ok it's very private it is very so to speak when the reveal to a certain extent so i left it out at the moment because i found other things more

important in that context that's the reason for that. because he rarely opens up to anyone like that i mean he spoke to you about his face and he actually you know allowed you to be there while speaking about it. and he knew it was going to be in film it's weird that you would leave it out and i'm just this is a journalist talking in me and you actually got a lot of other moments where he was very well nerve will not only the one in the chapel and that's a very rare side of putin as well you see in the russian president in a lot of situations you're unsure of occasion during hockey practice. how did you get him used to your cameras and just to be himself or did he never did he never knew about the cameras. i'm not quite sure about that but he never gave any kind of direction we were just there we were just watching and i didn't get any kind of. direction to do this or to do that so i think he got accustomed

after a certain time that we are present and it worked that way and. i'm not a very hostile person. to very hostile journalist i watch try to understand an hour and i have questions so i'm not in a constant fighting position because my philosophy is very simple i think. people first of all have an understanding of what they are seeing and can charge by themselves so i don't have really to press for any kind of. inside or to to present myself self as a very critical guy i am critical but i just simply ask questions and leave my views to decide whether this was ok whether this was bad whether this was a lie or good or noble so this is a tendency my work is concerned and secondly if you. are not all the

time saying behave this way behave that way it looks better this way or that way it works works it works easier it works much better better so i mean this film really opens up that in his personality and in the way that you see him in situations and that nothing extraordinary be just random situations that a human being would find himself they would just say we've never seen put in like that before like hunting practice in hockey swimming or like his dogs why do you think your country and the western audience in general need it to see this side of him. because we have stereotypes you know we mentioned this k.g.b. thing before hand and so it is an incarnation of the evil and the longer our stresses facts like that the more. the more they become so to speak real so with the fictionalized reality to a certain extent by repetition and i thought ok this guy is

a human being as you and me he's a put it situation he was at the right time at the right place and he tries to develop something for his country ok and going away from this kind of. trenches ideological trenches my interest was how does he argue how does he behaves and what are his interests because it's all about interests of a country a president normally represents and so that was much more important and to build up a. picture of an enemy which is useless because it's a rip titian to the world this difference but that. ok here it will take a break right now and when we're back we'll continue talking to here example german journalist and documentary filmmaker about how the world sees the russian president stay with us.
