will have to be elected during the session of the united russia so that will also happen in the second half of make now to me that it has met with the members of the state council and given them a speech on the achievements and shortcomings off his presidential terms he mentioned among other things some of the issues which are still needed to be worked on in russia and those words are education increasing the life span in the over the next six years and of course fighting corruption should be given in ancient china they used to say the biggest problem is despising your enemy which we have declared war on corruption we know who our enemy is and we will not back down the first time in russian history we created the right legal tools to fight this well armed enemy and we will carry on this fight. but some of the improvements he's also mentioned among those this is the level of inflation which seems to have gone down to the level where it was four years ago right before the financial crisis so does look like russia has made it out of the economic slump a lot better than a lot of oth

input is associated with the united russia i support them they support me. it's now as regards your question about what will happen but at the instant hardy wise yeah so in the party. i don't understand when people see that united russia is not living up your party of gloss of because they guard fifty percent of the vote in the city duma and this is going to from them by all the opinion sort of sort of their approval rating is. what forty last year in the sense that all the other parties are at the summit much less popular so it's the biggest party the most popular party but i'm not saying it's a perfectly good has many defects like any other part of the power to those but more than that in the media this party has to speak to changes world so the future of united russia will speak to you i think. it is. in the wrong. sense riskless the new concern. because what's going on the power of that which we should have in our country we don't have a social democratic proper social democratic party in russia and it's actually bad it's a shame because that on the usua

it's a viable option for him of course now that we know that he is more likely to be heading the united russia party it is likelihood of becoming russia's next prime minister also rather but of course that you get is obviously for that is yet to be resolved it is an issue which is going to be looked upon in the nearest future. right or to use a really go loose cover boarding on the latest russian political developments from central moscow. on the way in a few minutes here on r t why israelis should be wary. if someone when they need to one of. their leaders say the threat to attack iran is no hot air but have it nothing compared to their own citizens if to iran it's back. and in my would a war zone in southeast asia but it's not we report from the massive joint exercises between russian and chinese naval forces in the o.c. and find out but striving. but first far from helping an embattled nation n.g.o.s operating in syria are being accused of helping the push towards military intervention some are peddling unverified reports to deliberately encourage foreign action. marina porton i.e. explains

arena galoots following these developments why is was you know putin endorsing medvedev as head of united russia. well in russia the president is not supposed to belong to any one party so was it put in said that as immediately after the inauguration which was supposed to take place on the seventh of may he is going to step down from the post of the chairman of the united russia and he proposed to me it's very it's to take over and talks to put forward his candidacy for the polls to close course the party is get to vote on god and that is what has been put inside maybe a united party should have another session and the second problem maybe one or two with your out some of the issues for example google beats next leader so these are these are the facts. that we're dealing with right now it seems like admitting to getting out like it's not making the political headlines in russia today. should get you in ancient china used to say the biggest problem is despising your enemy here but we have declared war on corruption we know who our enemy is and we will not back down the first time in russian histo

united russia supposedly has just under 50% of the vote. i know this is not an accurate figure but it is considerably lower than the falsified results of the previous election when the united russia supposedly got 66%. perhaps this time the two numbers are so low that some local election officials felt he could take the light only so far. as i will also find that later today, some resisted altogether the pressure to cook the numbers. citizen observers 500 election observers post a 170 precincts in moscow saw no major violations of voting procedures, but at 36 of them. when the result of those precinct were tallied united russia came in second with just over 20% of the, during the communist party. assuming this was represented, it would appear the official count more than doubled everyone to citizen observer also of course that for now% of eligible voters took part, far more than in any other recent russian election. i plan to go to a party. i do not want to. the way it works now, anyone planning to stage any kind of public rally or demonstr
