it sounds like tensions are rising in moscow? well certainly there are huge numbers of protestors pouring into central moscow. there have been large numbers of riot police as well in the last hour or so. we have heard a lot of shouts from just behind me, the beginning of the main street down to the kremlin. there are hundreds of thousands of people who have been trying to walk down the main street and express their protest, to voice their anger and their frustration at the corruption here in russia, and that the government and the authorities. there has been a lot of people arrested. we have seen several ourselves. the reporter of dozens of people being detained by police. we saw one truck taking people wait a moment ago. you can see more police coming in now. certainly by bringing protestors onto the streets in the centre of moscow, alexei navalny did set the scene for this confrontation, because this is not an authorised protest. he was given permission to hold a rally elsewhere. he said conditions were not right and he called

let's go to cnn contributor jill dougherty, former cnn moscow bureau chief. jill, certainly a lot of finger pointing as far as which aisle you were on, as far as the weight, the bombshell of comey's revelations, but now donald trump says wait, he's going to tell his side so on it goes. >> reporter: it is. and you know, the russians essentially are saying we're not even interested. the spokesperson for president putin said basically we're not following this because we have better things to do and that's the attitude here. even for americans i think, this is all very complicated, every single action and reaction. the russians are really standing back, not specifically commenting accept that m mmr mr. peskof, spokesperson for the president, said they take what comey is saying with distrust. in other words, they don't really believe what comey is saying, but they're not getting into the wes. it could be dangerous to do that, it is very murky and it is back and forth in the united states. essentially what they stand back and say is that this is a big nothing burge

moscow this wednesday morning the twenty eighth of june my name's kevin zero in this is r.t. international good to have you with us first the meddling is in russia's d.n.a. according to the former director of the u.s. national intelligence james clapper he goes on to say that therefore proves that moscow is still making attempts to influence american politics he was appearing in a new documentary that in fact we just aired over the last few hours by the c.n.n. network or courtroom. i think it's in their d.n.a. . or in the soviet era or no. gripping but was it actually correct was a good movie to sit maybe in your popcorn too and it certainly be a good headline grabber i watched a bit of it before i went on shift you watch more of it what were your thoughts was of the big smoking gun there or not while i was so much anticipation over this latest special report from c n n it was billed as the first comprehensive telling of on television of russia's attack on the two thousand and sixty. presidential race and also with jarring lessons for the american leaders and the public about

if you are in moscow... the property was yours, was it not? i invite you to this property. to show this small storage for the furs, you would not find — like, you know, a dress, but you may find some furs from siberia, etc, etc. how much is it worth, that vast mansion? how much is it worth? i cannot say for sure, but for sure... many, many millions of us dollars. but i was earning yearly very substantial amounts of money. it's interesting that you say that, because in 2014, the government demanded all ceos, bosses of state companies to go public with their income and assets. you refused for some time, and then when you finally acceded to their request, you declared that your income, i believe, was in the range of us$61,000 to us$83,000 a month. no way was that an income that could have bought you the vast estate that i'm talking about. listen, listen, i have on my account, in the bank, all the monies — not all the monies, because i have spent them, very substantial amount of monies. they were my payments, my bonuses, that i was getting as the ceo of the state company. t

cnn correspondent diana magnay live in moscow with the breaking details. what are russian media saying about this may 28th air strike, and what kind of evidence are they giving to support the notion that they have killed this guy? >> reporter: christine, at the moment, it is russian state media who say that the defense ministry is investigating information that al baghdadi was killed in a may 28th russian air strike in the southern suburbs of raqqah. the information they're getting is that he was attending a meeting at a command post there with various other isis personnel, trying to work out how to get isis fighters out of the city of raqqah, which, of course, is being squeezed, both by russian and syrian forces and by the coalition, and that he may have been killed alongside others in a russian air strike on may 28th. now, of course, we have heard in the past reports that al baghdadi has been killed, so that is presumably by the russians are caveating this with, we are investigating, we are trying to verify that he may have been killed. but of course, fo
