congress and others the national endowment for democracy various other so-called human rights politicized organizations are fanning the protests claiming to be in the military against against us human rights n.g.o.s so. the idea is to create as much chaos through the region as possible in order to justify i believe a stronger nato role permanently in that region and when you when you talk about nato that's not an attention to that. all the deadliest uprising with a civil war that will be left tens of thousands that khadafi as we all know among them nato weighing in with air strikes causing civilian casualties is that piece of loss for the libyan people what can they look forward to for two thousand and twelve i think they can look forward to pure hills. the opposition groups were given a promise by the french well before the. cut off a government that they would get a chunk of the oil revenues and that was the incentive they were armed by the west and now libya is being converted according to the latest information into a giant nato aircraft carrier if you will and the libyan oil is being

lot of trips to washington so he's really known for his connection with washington's national endowment for democracy this is something he doesn't deny often makes trips to meet with congressman in washington it's something you has criticized where he's expected to speak here today and also recently he was in the media because of some leaked phone records of his in which he was criticizing other opposition leaders so a lot of people talking about how the opposition is not together of those recordings in which you can blatantly hear him rudely very rudely talking about other opposition members a sign that perhaps they're not really together but the opposition say that's not the case they're also not you can see the very different flags here it's certainly just not one group also in terms of the opposition a really up and rising star as the next in the wire and he's very well known in the west right now is an anti-corruption activist mostly known to his blog and he was detained at a protest earlier this month and was to remain to train for fifteen days he's expected to make his first real public appear

very strong ties in washington he doesn't hide that in fact it's openly known that the national endowment for democracy in washington does very much support him so these are the most famous opposition leaders a lot of the protesters that you talk to here say that they're not associated with a specific political party and there were also be members from parties such as yaba big here today who claim that these elections were not free and fair as well all right aneesh thanks very much indeed for bringing us up to speed and will be crossing back to you for more information as a damp cold thanks very much for now though. we're keeping a close eye on the developments in the russian capital on our website as well and so you can go online for the latest updates and video feed on the post-election protest also all on our team dot com you'll find analysis of the latest news and scandals that followed the election and for all of the news of the demonstrations you can log on to our new you tube channel. and. more news today violence has once again flared up. and these are the images the world has been seeing from

and abroad as well often makes trips to washington and he's openly supported by of the national endowment for democracy he was here today garry kasparov the world's chess champion very well known in the west did not come in from new york from the protest we actually heard some complaints from the opposition about that and then there's probably i think it's fair to say the rising star of the opposition not affiliated with the party alexei not valid and he is a blogger very well known he writes a lot about his movement for anti-corruption here in russia where you don't hear a lot about him is nationalist line he often speaks about russia is for russians and if you listen to some of the speeches that he made at a protest on monday where he was arrested and is being detained for fifteen days so he wasn't here today a lot of his supporters out but what you don't know if you look closer at some of his speeches they do tend to be out excuse me they do tend to be on the line they hate speech is one of his quotes was i will cut their throats but the lot of people here are just coming out to demand free and fair

former deputy prime minister and he openly is known to be supported by washington's national endowment for democracy and he was that these protests today he was detained actually earlier this week and another i think it's fair to say up and coming star is. he is a blogger very well known here in russia not so much in the west he was detained and will say detained for fifteen days so he didn't come to this rally a lot of his supporters were here what you don't hear a lot about him is about his nationalist line you hear a lot about his anti-corruption work but you don't hear about his speeches about russia's for russia and so on but if you lou. the bit closer you can see in some of his speeches that he made earlier this week at protests there were some statements that could easily be clear be classified as hate speech one of his quotes was i will cut their throats so really some of the people that came out today don't necessarily associate themselves with a political party they came out for free and fair elections but a lot of different parties here today and a lot of different faces of opposition rep

something that you can hide the very public tracks that he's supported by washington's national endowment for democracy you know whether or not that's fair that's for other people to adjust but to to judge but he is here kasparov is not here another rising star i think it's fair to call him is alexei not violent he's a very well known blogger his movement he's not associated with a political party is anti corruption is not something that you really hear about a lot when he's covered in the west he's not as popular there as here in russia i mean i was detained on monday's meeting and will be detained for fifteen days so he is not here today certainly a lot of his supporters are here something that you don't hear a lot about never use his actual movements in terms of his nationalist trends in his movements he's he's very well known for speed. such as russia is for russians and that of course if you know anything about russian history or russian people and the monkey culture isn't you see here can be something dangerous you you can see on youtube footage of some of his speech in fact out for yourself from

the united states has a tradition of making mischief elsewhere there or is the national endowment for democracy as it's called that intervenes in the political process all over the country all over the world rather and there's all kinds of soft money that finds its way from say wall street for example that like to see it's interesting expressed globally into all kinds of electoral contests that you know as far as the now discussion of irregularities there for example those are normal everywhere in the united states historically these things that have been sometimes the complaints are true sometimes they're dealt with sometimes not and very often they're just you know one forty that didn't do so well complaining and that goes away and everybody goes back to work after the election season is over they call it the silly season here and now and how big a role do you feel and indeed. the united response is likely to play in in. country in the us and while not as large a role just in governing as they did before they went from sixty four percent there . almost two thirds to about half that you know w

meets with congressman second of all he's openly supported by the intel meant for the national endowment for democracy in washington and then there's a i think it's fair to call them our rising opposition star not affiliated with the party and explain the violent he was arrested on monday and is being detained for fifteen days he's known for his anti corruption movement he's a very well known plauger here in russia not so famous in the west what what people who do report on him tend to not talk about his real. nationalist line he's known for giving speeches about how russia is for russians and if you take a look at some of the footage from monday's protest some of the speeches that he made to look closely some of the things he was saying could clearly be classified as hates. it's one of the things he said which i think you'll clearly be quote is i will go and cut their throats in the end sort of stuff like that so that's something that you don't hear much about looks nobody is becoming more and more popular and i think it's fair to say we'll be hearing more and more about it certainly in the western m

prime minister and he openly doesn't deny that he has supported quite strongly by the national endowment for democracy in washington he often travels to congress and has meetings with us congressman so that's not something he hides but it is something that isn't it seems important to point out with all of these accusations going back and forth that he is here today he was arrested earlier this week at a protest on tuesday and then released another up and coming i think it's fair to say star of the opposition although not affiliated with a political party is and explain the vani is not here he was detained he was arrested on monday at a protest and you do hear a lot about he gets he has very high coverage in western media and they really talk about his anti-corruption movement that's really what his blog is about that's what he's most well known for here in russia his blogging what they don't focus on is his nationalist line you know he's very keen on giving speeches about how russia is for russians and you can if you want to go onto you tube and actually see footage of some of his speeches made on mon

he is supported and he makes this very publicly known by washington's national endowment for democracy he was the former your former deputy prime minister in the ninety's and but lately has been claiming has been seeing a lot of negativity because of some phone conversations that were leaked where he called a lot of the opposition leaders as well as a lot of the protesters we saw in december hamster's so he's somebody who's looked at right now not a very positive light. as well he wants more protests and on his blogs actually calls for the million man march so we're scheduled yet to see more protests possibly in the month of february but he was also arrested at the beginning of december before the protest on the tenth of the twenty fourth he is also not as well known for the nationalist line where he claims russia for russians so to speak where he is a against the he sort of anti immigration movement so many faces yet to see what will happen with the that opposition but certainly seeing a lot more of the opposition in the media as well all right. thank you. now let's discuss some of th

ninety's is no no really for his connections to washington it's not something that he hides he's a very or strongly supported by washington's national endowment of course democracy often makes trips to washington to meet with was hungry cement and recently was amaldina in a phone recording scandal which it was very clear that he had some very rude things to say about other opposition members and leaders who were in fact taking part in saturday's rallies to it there are signs that there are some grips with three in the opposition of course they do tend to put on a face of solidarity and being together but just by the number of flags you can tell that there's certainly a lot of different movements of political parties that are coming out to take part in these rallies with another face of the opposition a new face is the next in the wild and he is very well known here in russia as an anti-corruption activist basically through his wagon he is not so well known for in the west is his nationalists tendencies and if you read his blog you can see he talks about russia waiting for russians as opposed involved in a movement that's about stop feeding the caucuses which is
