Anger as police get the go-ahe
POLICE officers who have to retire early after being injured on duty say they are furious that new regulations will allow their former force to spy on them.

Putin Says Police Failing to C
President Vladimir Putin on Friday sharply criticized the police for failing to stem a rising tide of hate crimes, saying that xenophobia threatened national security and eroded Russia's international prestige. The public's trust in the police had also been eroded by abuses, Putin said.
Speaking at a meeting with Interior Minister Rashid Nurgaliyev and top police officials, Putin said that a lack of effective police response had encouraged extremists. "Extremist groups have grown increasingly aggressive and bold in their activities," Putin said in a speech posted on the Kremlin web site.
"Law-enforcement structures have underestimated the danger of that," Putin said. "Belligerent nationalism and provocations of ethnic strife pose a direct threat to citizens' lives and constitutional rights, undermine the stability and integrity of the state and incur enormous damage to Russia's prestige in the world."
Putin criticized law enforcement structures for "failing to take efficient and systematic efforts" to deal with a surge in racially-motivated attacks.
Putin also said trust in the police had been eroded by frequent abuses and he urged the force to cleanse its ranks. "People turning to police for help sometimes face not just indifference, but openly unlawful treatment. Cases of direct violation of citizens rights by Interior Ministry personnel, including during investigations, haven't been infrequent," he said.
Putin said that stronger public oversight was necessary to improve police work.
