and that's that's rather unusual no viney has done that twice did that twice last year he called people to come out onto the streets all over russia and that's going to be happening here in russia today as well there have been several protests this morning where so far one monitoring organization says around twenty seven people were arrested. twenty seven people were apparently arrested no volleys office has been entered by russian police this morning can you tell us where he is or what his plan is today. well he's just taken to social media to say that he plans to come out on to tip sky so which is the street behind me where people are assembling he plans to come here today and he's calling on people again to come out onto the streets of moscow it wasn't clear where he was all this morning and then he actually appeared in a live broadcast that his staff are running on you tube and said that he is at an address which as it turned out was the address where president vladimir putin is officially registered so that was the first that we found out that he is in moscow and now he's sa

fine and and aren't necessarily in favor of what viney is doing here calling for a boycott turkey's president recha tayyip erdogan has vowed to quote clean its entire border with syria of terrorists it's a sign that there's no end in sight to us so far nine day offensive against the kurdish y p g militia in syria turkey has demanded that the us pull its troops out of the key northern syrian town of mon be it turkish forces and y p g clashed again over the weekend and cars operation is aimed at clearing the target the kurdish militia from the turkish border area. say saturday's fighting concentrated in the northwest of the african region in this video could his fighters target took a small arms fire activists say turkey is making slow progress on the ground. president richard sipe added one brother just supporters just over a week into the campaign he claims turkey has inflicted heavy casualties on the time that means. three hundred ninety four terrorists have been neutralized. and we have twenty motss from the free syrian army and our military. the figures a disputed and cannot be v

up choco now that now viney is barred from running is considered the only real opposition candidate in the running however some people also accuse her of being a kremlin pawn they point to her close ties to putin so the question is is she is she really a real opposition candidate and anyway all the other seven candidates really are polling too low to real to be a real threat to putin and with having been in office for so long how does he still remain so popular. will. putin you have to remember came to power in two thousand that was just after the fall of the soviet union in the ninety's caused this huge trauma for people the ninety's here i remember it as being a time of chaos of economic turmoil there were mafia esque structures there was a lot of crime and people really see this as as a traumatic time and putin is seen as having brought stability after the ninety's and it still retaining that stability for russians today and really sure when in moscow thank you for your analysis. to the pundits like us and by and fans were watching closely a shock a took on full spirit on saturda

because the author already don't like that now viney is organizing a boycott of the elections. last month i need took to you tube to call on his supporters to boycott the presidential election this march the appeal came after he was barred from taking part in the race because of a previous fraud conviction and he says this is a trumped up charge and that without him the elections won't be legitimate. for the most of what putin is scared he's afraid of competing with me he sees the competition as a threat. last week several of the politicians campaign offices were searched by police supporters are currently preparing for russia wide protests in support of the boycott they say the court's decision won't change that. the belgian government is awaiting the result of an inquiry into the lead story of sudanese refugees deported to their home country the affair sparked scandal in brussels with the opposition alleging collaboration between the government and the sudanese regime belgium has since suspended deportations to sudan but migrants from the african country are keeping a low profile

social media on you tube and in a way that's part of why the youth vote has become important now viney has been very successful here as an anti corruption blogger some of his corruption investigations have millions of hits on you tube for example one that he did on meet the needs the diff currently has twenty six million views on you tube so that's a huge amount and he also managed to get thousands of people onto the streets particularly in russia's cities so that seems to have kind of worried the kremlin worried them into trying to court the youth vote putin has been showing himself with young people he gave a lesson on the first day of school at one at a school in russia he also announced his candidacy on a day where he also held a huge rally two young volunteers so he's kind of showing himself with young people and it does seem that the kremlin is concerned about the youth vote for example i just saw on twitter that someone had posted a photo from a university where the dormitory was saying that attending the upcoming election would be obligatory if you want to stay in your dorm no

politician alex enough viney last year was barred from running in the presidential elections the u.s. state department expressed their concern over that and says self says that those the charges against him which hindered him from running according to official the official reason that reason are actually trumped up and the foreign ministry reacted to that and said that this is election meddling so they've already started accusing the us of meddling in their own elections and that of course is that is a convenient strategy ahead of the elections to have some kind of an external enemy to show that russet russia is really under siege so we may see more accusations of the kind of variation the new variation their. tactics only show in moscow and he thanks for that. no it is day three of berlin's international film festival the belly the nineteen films going head to head. in competition for the coveted golden bear last night it was a new film starring robert pattinson that tongues wagging be your name in that film damsel it's a new take on an old classic western correspondent trauma c
