http://www.euronews.net/ He is stepping out of the shadows from chief strategist at the Kremlin to Russia's new deputy prime minister. But it is unlikely that Vladislav Surkov's job swap, approved by President Dmitry Medvedev, will do anything to appease the opposition.

He is a contentious figure for anti-government protesters, some of whom he has accused of seeking a full-blown revolution.

Surkov is set to be reunited with Medvedev if, as expected, he replaces Vladimir Putin as prime minister.

India - Anna Hazare, starts a 3 day hunger strike today because anti-corruption bill does not go far enough

Published on Dec 27, 2011 by
http://www.euronews.net/ India's parliament is considering changing the anti-corruption bill, but that does not go far enough according to activist Anna Hazare, who begins a three-day hunger strike on Tuesday.

Dissatisfied with the weak legislation, Hazare has also threatened to protest against Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's ruling Congress Party.

The Lokpall bill would create an anti-corruption ombudsman, and the prime minister has appealed for all parties to support the measure, but Hazare claims this will not be enough to stamp out fraud.
