pretty unequivocal there from georgia what about russia what's moscow said well moscow is clearly disappointed a statement on the russian foreign ministry's website is making it clear that they see it as nothing else but recent phobia. we strongly condemn d.m. president of nefarious behavior involving an unacceptable attack in obscene language against a russian leadership hosted by georgian t.v. channel restavec to we see this as another clear provocation by radical forces in georgia and undermining of russia georgia relations the current laden incident is a vivid example of where frantic brosseau phobia can lead. this was a prime time slot and sunday evening a lot of viewers will be watching it begs the question why would a georgian t.v. host actually go to the trouble of insulting president putin the 1st but is it a one off incident 1st of all we have to understand what's happening between russia and the former soviet republic georgia at this point a new crisis broke out about 3 weeks ago when a russian delegation was at an event that was happening in the georgian parliament and one of the r

from moscow, 0leg boldyrev reports. police told muscovites not to come out for this unsanctioned protest, but a few thousand people turned up anyway, and very soon many of them paid for it by being dragged into custody. the arrests were met with defiance. so the police are trying to push back the protesters, who came here because the candidates they support were not allowed to participate in the elections. we don't know how many people came to protest, but certainly there are plenty of people angry that the candidates they've been supporting were denied the chance to participate in the vote. those who come out despite police warnings are used to sights like this, but they voice their angeragain and again.
