definitely will be discussed on thursday here in brussels on the nature times correspondent in brazil pepe escobar but if hillary clinton's comments once again underline american hypocrisy. what they should you know they should be looking at the score of the communist party which is almost twenty percent in the elections they should be worried about that twenty percent of voters are going into the latest election in russia in fact they they want to go back to seventy five years of russian history this is much more important from an american point of view then the fact that the united russia got forty nine percent of the vote which even party you know western democratic systems love to have as well we have hillary clinton going recently to use becky stan in presenting the progress you know. i think probably she means progress that the kerry mode is not boiling ople in ns anymore so you know it's an enormously faulkner's of the fact i would say the most important thing for the russians who are protesting the results of the elections would have to be what kind of project united russia has for the cou

democracies they are investigating one of their all but they're also implicated in the whole big picture pepe escobar talk to me a bit earlier with the claim that the syrian opposition is being backed by extremist fighters is shared by foreign journalists working on the ground in the next hour of the program just letting you know we're hearing from a french reporter who exposed the rest through eyewitnesses he met. i think that all be the action to destabilize the country. we see a lot of people killed but this is not the civil war quite told us they want to interweave throwing troops inside and i'd be. using proxy from going to concede. the problem because he's way before. but there are putin pledges the government will do everything possible to ensure transparency in the upcoming presidential election promises said it's actually it is best interests as a candidate it. has got more about that announcement as well as other developments in the russian world of top level politics. russian prime minister said that the upcoming elections for the country's top job should be. transparence in order to achie
