is certainly one of the stated goals of the blood in your putin administration in his predecessor dmitri medvedev as well and so on the surface it looks like this might be the case but if you look there's not very many faces of united russia out there in fact. is one of the well known faces in him moving from this position leaves a vacancy for almost a full year to come in the in the region of who's going to be the governor so it looks like on the surface tackling corruption but how many people. out there to actually be a part of this push to attack. that's it for me in the news team here in moscow just a couple of minutes all of these washington studio will take over for extensive coverage of the u.s. presidential election there stay with us for that. which is slow often enough and knows that to ride a horse you've got to catch it first. for him it's a daily routine that your software's of course are on the island of a horn at the heart of. his life on an isolated farm is about blue sky green grass and his horses were there sometimes he gets lonely here but horses have become part of me

election triumph was met more positively even warmly in russia both president vladimir putin and pm dmitri medvedev which the democrat well during his next term though the question remains whether he can breathe new life into the historically sensitive relations between the two nations what is your position of has more now 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 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 we 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 relationshi

if you're just joining us a very warm welcome to this is live from moscow on the rushers of dmitri medvedev says members of the controversial pussy riot feminist group should not have been given jail sentences for their stunt and moscow's main cathedral at the same time. said their morals leave a lot to be desired. it's you people you know very unpleasant to me both on the outside and only if they fill me with extreme negative emotions so much so that i don't like talking about them but i wouldn't put them in jail if i were a judge just because i don't consider it correct that their punishment was in the form of a custodial sentence they've already spent some time in custody that's actually enough for three members of the pussy riot band were found guilty of hooliganism motivated by religious hatred after performing their so-called punk prayer and moscow's christ the savior cathedral and they were sentenced to two year jail terms but after an appeal hearing one of them released on probation the woman insists the stunt was a political one aimed against the authorities the case is course outr

retried in two thousand and ten and then convicted of stealing oil from their company now last year dmitrimedvedev who was then president introduced legislation to soften white collar crimes specifically favoring financial penalties as opposed to criminal sentences that therefore decriminalizing the more white collar crimes basically saying that these were not violent offenders and they shouldn't be treated as such so they would be financially punished instead now this set the course if you will for the decision of this lessening of this sentence the lawyers have said that this is the closest thing that they can get to a humane sentence and they do not plan to appeal this decision and just putting it into perspective has actually been in custody for ten years now he's serving his time here which means that he will be eligible for release in july two thousand and thirteen so this coming summer it's possible there. will be free. to israel that an attack on iran what compromise washington in the region and. politically proactive hollywood. is related to the sixteenth president all of america

certainly one of the stated goals of the loading we're putting administration in his predecessor dmitry medvedev as well and so on the surface it looks like this might be the case but if you look there's not very many faces of united russia out there in fact. who is one of the well known faces in him moving from this position leaves a vacancy for almost a full year to come in the in the region of who is going to be the governor so it looks like on the surface tackling corruption but how many people are out there to actually be a part of this wave to push to attack but interesting is being very well publicized well covered in the media certainly certainly that is the case i mean if you listen to all of the russian radio stations all of the russian television stations everybody is covering this with great interest and everybody is behind tried to because he's a face that they all know and they trust and so hopefully he'll be the one to push forward so it was thanks very much indeed. israel has announced plans to build over a thousand new homes in the occupied west bank the international c

ari let's wrap up with loose change and viewer feedback all rolled into one dmitri i've got you here and i don't know if you're a james bond fan and i'm not necessarily but i'm sure we all know from james bond the aston martin. there is a safe place where we are free to challenge. the laws of physics and draw. of. hamas. so i think they're usually getting blown up in james bond movies from what i hear but now maybe they're going to get blown up by what moody's is saying ok the ratings agency has reportedly put aston martin on review for a debt downgrade and what i think is interesting about this dimitri is that we always talk about downgrades with austerity in europe and sovereign debt crises and we see these countries facing downgrades but look luxuries impactive to extravagances feeling the pinch as well so what's the reason for the. i forget there's that i don't know it's a credit yeah there's a great is yes they might see their debt downgrade i mean i don't know are the services i mean you like the story you were a big figure maybe you're in the market for and are smart to you yo

president putin as well as he's british assessor dmitry medvedev named countering corruption in russia as one of their main goals. i'll take a look at some other stories from around the world israeli tank fire has killed four palestinians and injured at least thirty six and the gaza strip all of them civilians officials claim the attack comes as a response to militants blowing up and israeli border patrol with an anti-tank missile hamas has promised to retaliate for the violence. in pakistan a series of violent attacks across garage you have claimed the lives of seventeen people and injured dozens of others gunmen on motorcycles carried out several targeted killings with a magazine editor and five seminary students said to be among the victims the motives for the attacks are not yet known sectarian political and violence in the city resulted in nearly two thousand deaths this year. the b.b.c.'s reputation has taken a huge hit we're reporting scandal forcing its head george and whistle to resign the broadcasters flagship programme newsnight has falsely accused a conservative lord of chi

dmitri. tying it to the unemployment rate yeah that's a dumb idea i've said that before it doesn't it doesn't actually accomplish anything why is that because what are you going to do are you going to burst of all we've seen that monetary policy doesn't actually lower unemployment that's a broken model is when you reach the point of debt situation like we have now but also there's just too but in general that we've had people come of this show before and say you should just grow up deficits and print as much money as possible until you get the employment rate the unemployment rate down to zero yeah so both it's ineffective to actually do it accomplish it through monetary policy and also doing it if you could be effective is ineffective in itself because you're focusing on just putting people to work and creasing capacity or filling up capacity as opposed to allowing the economy to readjust to a recession yeah you also i think it. interesting these fed minutes there was a lot of juicy stuff an
