:02:04. > :02:06.that this anti-corruption protests But people have come
:02:07. > :02:10.onto the streets anyway. There is a very heavy

:02:15. > :02:20.but the police pushed their way into The crowd were shouting,
:02:21. > :02:23.disgrace, let him go. The level of corruption is too high
:02:24. > :02:25.in Russia right now. It is hard to live in
:02:26. > :02:36.corruption atmosphere. So now the riot police
:02:37. > :02:44.have moved on to Pushkin The police have been
:02:45. > :02:48.telling the crowd all afternoon that this

:03:24. > :03:25.cleared protesters from Pushkin And they are lined up all the way
:03:26. > :03:29.down through the Main Street People came out in
:03:30. > :03:32.Moscow today to protest against corruption in
:03:33. > :03:34.the Russian government. But this sends a message
:03:35. > :03:36.to the crowd that fighting corruption is not a priority
:03:37. > :03:59.for the Russian authorities. Let's speak to the director of the
:04:00. > :04:01.director for Russia at the University of Wisconsin. How
:04:02. > :04:08.significant you the these protests are? Extremely. The Putin
:04:09. > :04:14.administration, for the last recent period has served a steady diet to
:04:15. > :04:21.Russians of nationalism, anti-western sentiment and tried to
:04:22. > :04:26.secure its authority by convincing Russians that Russia's geopolitical
:04:27. > :04:30.prominence is more important to them than their own economic well-being.
:04:31. > :04:36.This strategy has appeared to work but the events of today suggest that
:04:37. > :04:40.it may be beginning to falter. So, you say that this protest is
:04:41. > :04:46.significant, giving President Putin will be bullied by then? I'm quite
:04:47. > :04:50.sure he will be. Throughout his term in office he's been quite concerned
:04:51. > :04:56.prospect of so-called coloured revolutions, he's witnessed regimes,
:04:57. > :05:01.mostly suddenly in Ukraine being taken down by protests from
:05:02. > :05:06.discontented citizens in these countries and he has attempted to
:05:07. > :05:10.blame these on the interference of the United States and its allies in
:05:11. > :05:20.the panel affairs of its countries. A lot of its policies have been...
:05:21. > :05:24.We saw of course most recently in Russia in 2011 and 2012 following
:05:25. > :05:30.the elections and the presidential elections of that period in which
:05:31. > :05:34.reports of falsification of election results led to massive street
:05:35. > :05:38.protests. The regime dealt with that successfully through a series of
:05:39. > :05:43.heavy-handed measures and following that it initiated this recent
:05:44. > :05:47.campaign of using an Thai western propaganda to distract the Russian
:05:48. > :05:55.people from the economic woes will stop -- anti-Western propaganda. The
:05:56. > :06:00.fact that the spite of the fear of replies all and the possibility of
:06:01. > :06:04.arrest and potential of violence that individual Russians are so fed
:06:05. > :06:08.up with the system they are are willing to risk their own personal
:06:09. > :06:12.well-being it must be a sign of concern to the regime. Briefly,
:06:13. > :06:20.could you give us a sense of how influential the opposition leader
:06:21. > :06:24.is? He is a controversial figure, I think the regime has been successful
:06:25. > :06:29.as portraying him as a corrupt person himself it is not so much
:06:30. > :06:34.about his implements personally, it is more about the fact that Russians
:06:35. > :06:39.are fed up with corruption and the opposition has hopped onto this very
:06:40. > :06:42.effective messaging, so whether or not he ends up being the leader to
:06:43. > :06:47.galvanise this movement I think it will pose a problem for birth Putin

:22:35. > :22:37.of new research on the subject. It suggests that the current theory

:22:40. > :22:41.well be wrong. Fossilised bones that capture a time
:22:42. > :22:48.that dinosaurs ruled the Earth, By measuring how they changed over

:22:59. > :23:02.in the journal Nature, which suggests that that theory
:23:03. > :23:06.which has lasted 130 The current theory is that there
:23:07. > :23:14.are two main groups of dinosaurs. One, which includes the Stegosaurus,
:23:15. > :23:23.and another, which has two branches. The vegetarians such
:23:24. > :23:25.as the brontosaurus, and the meat eaters,
:23:26. > :23:26.such as the savage It turns out that the meat eaters
:23:27. > :23:31.are in the wrong group, It also shows that the very first
:23:32. > :23:35.dinosaurs did not originate in what is now East Africa,
:23:36. > :23:38.but much further north, possibly We've taken dinosaur origins,
:23:39. > :23:46.which originally were thought to be southern hemisphere,
:23:47. > :23:48.and brought them into the northern hemisphere, and it could well be
:23:49. > :23:51.that dinosaurs originated even What we have here is a key
:23:52. > :24:10.specimen in this analysis. And here is the fossil that led
:24:11. > :24:13.to this shock finding - a primitive dinosaur the size
:24:14. > :24:16.of a cat was found in It was an animal like this that led
:24:17. > :24:20.to the creatures that dominated this The new family tree will mean
:24:21. > :24:25.that we will have to rethink our ideas of how they evolved and spread
:24:26. > :24:27.across the globe. This is a fairly major change
:24:28. > :24:30.to our knowledge of dinosaurs. We have had a system
:24:31. > :24:32.in place for 130 years, we thought we understood
:24:33. > :24:34.the relationships of these big groups of animals,
:24:35. > :24:37.but it may be that we have a major This re-evaluation of fossils
:24:38. > :24:41.challenges a theory that has been accepted since the Victorian era,
:24:42. > :24:45.and so will be controversial. But if it is proved to be correct,
