:00:16. > :00:19.anti-government protests for 20 years. They want a re-run of last
:00:19. > :00:26.week's parliamentary elections, claiming they were rigged in favour
:00:27. > :00:31.of Vladimir Putin's party. biggest protests were in Moscow and
:00:31. > :00:36.St Petersburg, where there were 100 arrests. David Cameron's decision
:00:36. > :00:40.to veto a new EU deal is backed by the Chancellor amid claims it could
:00:40. > :00:50.isolate the UK. Concern that time is running out for an international
:00:50. > :01:00.
:01:00. > :01:03.Good evening. Tens of thousands of people have taken part
:01:03. > :01:06.demonstrations across Russia in what are the largest anti-
:01:06. > :01:10.government protests there since the fall of the Soviet Union. They're
:01:10. > :01:13.demanding a re-run of last weekend's parliamentary elections,
:01:13. > :01:18.arguing that polls were rigged in favour of the Prime Minister,
:01:18. > :01:24.Vladimir Putin. The largest rally is being held in Moscow, from where
:01:24. > :01:29.Daniel Sandford sent this report. They came from every corner of
:01:29. > :01:32.Moscow in their tens of thousands to protest on an island over
:01:32. > :01:38.looking the Kremlin. The usual opposition groups were there, they
:01:38. > :01:42.were far out numbered by ordinary, middle-class people. Furious at a
:01:42. > :01:49.government that they believe cheated at last Sunday's election.
:01:49. > :01:54.I was really shocked about, like, how big the falsification was. I'm
:01:54. > :01:59.not OK. Among the crowd the opposition deputy, who had actually
:01:59. > :02:06.won a seat in the controversial election. It doesn't respect the
:02:06. > :02:10.results of real people power. That is why we are here. Not only we,
:02:10. > :02:13.tens of thousands of people. It was clear this was going to be a
:02:13. > :02:18.significant moment in Russian politics. The numbers so large that
:02:18. > :02:23.it was the biggest anti-government rally in Moscow since the days when
:02:23. > :02:26.the Soviet Union fell apart. Although this protest was about the
:02:26. > :02:32.election results, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, who has ruled
:02:32. > :02:37.Russia for 12 years, was the focus for much of the anger. Russia
:02:37. > :02:41.without Putin, they cried. Russia has found a new generation of
:02:42. > :02:47.protesters. The internet generation. They are young, and well-informed
:02:47. > :02:52.and they are fedup of corruption and lies. Many of those there had
:02:52. > :03:01.never been on a demonstration until this week. We just want new
:03:01. > :03:05.elections. Yeah, they are shouting "new elections" that's all.
:03:05. > :03:11.protests elsewhere in Russia there were scuffles with police, like
:03:11. > :03:16.these in St Petersburg. This was not a day about revolution. It was
:03:16. > :03:21.just a day when some people in Russia stood up and said, stop
:03:21. > :03:24.treating us like idiots. Let's go live to Daniel now in Moscow.
:03:24. > :03:29.Russia hasn't seen protests like this for many years. How
:03:29. > :03:33.significant is all of this? It is a significant moment. For 12 years
:03:33. > :03:37.many people in Russia have been happy to put politics on the
:03:37. > :03:40.backburner. They wanted to stabilise their lives, buy new cars,
:03:40. > :03:43.start to live like other people in Europe. They have also travelled
:03:43. > :03:47.the world. Seen how other people live in the world. They have become
:03:47. > :03:50.better connected through the internet, through social networking
:03:50. > :03:53.sites. They have started to want to have more control again over their
:03:53. > :04:00.country. That, for many people, is what these elections were bfplt
:04:00. > :04:04.they felt that they had been cheated. This is, in many ways, a
:04:04. > :04:07.political reawakening for people in Russia and a political awakening
:04:07. > :04:11.for a new generation. What does it all mean for Vladimir Putin?
:04:11. > :04:17.this point he is still OK. He has presidential elections in March.
:04:17. > :04:22.There is no time for a new candidate to appear. As long as he
:04:22. > :04:26.handles these protests all right he should be all right. Today there
:04:26. > :04:30.was a heavy presence of the military and the police, that will
:04:30. > :04:34.have upset people. Whether these protests grow and grow. If they
:04:34. > :04:39.grow and grow all the way through to the presidential elections in
:04:39. > :04:42.March, I think he could be in a bit of trouble. Thank you. Here, the
:04:42. > :04:45.Chancellor, George Osborne, says David Cameron was right not to
:04:45. > :04:49.approve a new European Union treaty to deal with the crisis in the
:04:49. > :04:53.eurozone. He says Britain will continue to have a strong voice in
:04:53. > :04:57.Europe, and the UK's economic interests have been were texted.
:04:57. > :05:03.Some have accused the Prime Minister of pandering to
:05:03. > :05:08.eurosceptics in his own party. Saturday in the City of London is
:05:08. > :05:11.quiet. It's a far cry from the working week when it's briming with
:05:11. > :05:16.suits, spilling out onto the streets. David Cameron feared the
:05:16. > :05:20.plan for a new Europe would have made this a daily scene in its
:05:20. > :05:25.biggest financial hub. He refused to go their way and sign up to a
:05:25. > :05:29.deal. It's left some wandering if the UK is facing a future outside
:05:29. > :05:32.of Europe. We are not exiting the European Union, we are protecting
:05:32. > :05:36.the European Union as an institution that serves all its 27
:05:37. > :05:40.members, including Britain. What we've done is made sure that the
:05:40. > :05:44.things that are relevant to Britain, have to be discussed when Britain
:05:44. > :05:48.is at the table. It was the City of London, more than any other place,
:05:48. > :05:54.with its bankers and investors that David Cameron was seeking to
:05:54. > :05:57.protect when he used his veto. There are serious doubts about what
:05:58. > :06:02.Britain can do as it stands alone in a club of one to protect this
:06:02. > :06:06.place from Europe's new rules and regulations. If the rest of the EU
:06:06. > :06:12.comes up with a new transaction tax, it could be hard for UK firms to
:06:12. > :06:15.avoid it, unless they avoid all business in all 26 countries. One
:06:15. > :06:20.veteran Tory with close ties to Downing Street is worried about the
:06:20. > :06:25.threat of isolation. Britain has done xordly well up until now. We
:06:25. > :06:32.have to be very clear we don't become the wrong end of the policy
:06:32. > :06:36.making of the 26 who are now, as we know, an essential part of the
:06:36. > :06:42.marketplace that the City serves. Just hours after that veto, David
:06:42. > :06:47.Cameron hosted a private dinner at Chequers, Tory MPs toasted the
:06:47. > :06:50.Prime Minister's success. Some in his party want more now, maybe a
:06:50. > :06:54.referendum. The coalition partners think Britain needs to make friends
:06:54. > :07:01.again. We have to make sure we don't lose friends within Europe.
:07:01. > :07:05.That we don't sound as if we are happy to be going our own way. To
:07:05. > :07:09.the Eurosceptics don't think this is the beginning of us pulling out
:07:09. > :07:12.of Europe. It absolutely isn't. UK stands alone. David Cameron said
:07:13. > :07:17.it was worth it to protect the national interest. What influence
:07:17. > :07:23.will he have around the table in the future? Or is it the beginning
:07:23. > :07:26.of the end for Britain in Europe? In the Philippines 13 people have
:07:26. > :07:33.been killed after a light plane crashed into a shanty town near the
:07:33. > :07:38.believed to have been among those killed. The pilot and co-pilot also
:07:38. > :07:43.died. The plane burst into flames when if hit the ground engulfing a
:07:43. > :07:49.nearby school, which was empty at the time. Britain's Ben Ainslie,
:07:49. > :07:56.the three-time Olympic gold medallist has been disquauld from
:07:56. > :08:01.sailing's World Championships in Perth after a confrontation. He
:08:01. > :08:05.felt he had been impeded by the wake from a media boat. He swum
:08:05. > :08:10.over to the vessel and hauled himself on board to remonstrate
:08:10. > :08:15.with the crew. He apologised for the incident. Climate change talks
:08:15. > :08:19.are continuing for an extra unshed Kewelled day in South Africa.
:08:19. > :08:25.There's concern that time may be running out to agree a process for
:08:25. > :08:33.a new deal on cutting carbon emissions. I'm too exhausted to
:08:33. > :08:37.tell you how exhausted I am. you optimistic? Hard to tell.
:08:38. > :08:42.People are talking. It's good. When people stop talking that is the
:08:42. > :08:46.problem. They are talking about who should cut greenhouse gases and
:08:46. > :08:50.when. The delegation from China is reluctant to commit. So it
:08:50. > :08:56.America's chief negotiator. Under press. The European Union and the
:08:56. > :09:03.poorest countries are pushing for a new treaty as soon as possible. The
:09:03. > :09:07.haggling is getting complicated. Due to the processes them things
:09:07. > :09:11.are being dragged down in time so much there is a risk that ministers
:09:11. > :09:16.will have to leave. That concerns us in the European Union very much.
:09:16. > :09:25.Harder than usual these talks face several stumbling blocks. Whether
:09:25. > :09:29.to extend the Kyoto Protocol. Whether to negotiate a new global
:09:29. > :09:35.treaty that would include those three. They are resisting. If there
:09:35. > :09:43.is a treaty, when should a mission -- emission cut start? In the past
:09:43. > :09:49.some promises haven't been kept. For the moment those emissions keep
:09:49. > :09:54.rising while scientists are saying they should fall to avoid the worst
:09:54. > :10:04.affects of global warming. South Africa has done its work. This is
:10:04. > :10:05.
:10:05. > :10:09.work that is now in the parties hands. The bargaining goes on. The
:10:09. > :10:19.result is uncertain, except for one thing. Climate change is not being
:10:19. > :10:24.tackled in a hurry. The last total lunar eclipse until 2014 has been
:10:24. > :10:26.seen across the world, the spectacle, which occurs when the
