Russian election

Police in Russia have made 550 arrests after protests against Vladimir Putin's election as president, with protest leader Alexey Navalny among those held.
They detained 300 people in central St Petersburg out of a crowd of about 800 protesters, according to local police.
A further 250 were detained in the capital Moscow, including Mr Navalny,who was later released.
Foreign states have accepted Mr Putin won on Sunday but observers saidthe poll had been skewed in his favour.
UK Prime Minister David Cameron phoned Mr Putin to say he was looking forward to working with him to "overcome the obstacles in the relationship between Britain and Russia and build deeper political and trade links", a statement from Downing Street said.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy congratulated Mr Putin, urging him to"continue democratic and economic modernisation".
Earlier, French Foreign Alain Juppe said the election "has not been exemplary", but added that Mr Putin's victory was not in doubt.
The US and the EU have asked the Russian government to investigate the allegations of irregularities.

Mr Navalny says "swindlers and thieves" rule Russia
Mr Navalny, a lawyer who blogs about corruption in Russia, said in a message via Twitter that he was being charged with an administrative offence.
He said he was being allowed to see his lawyer and watch his own arreston TV. He was released a few hours later.
Earlier, Mr Navalny and fellow leader Sergei Udaltsov both addressed a crowd of between 14,000 and 20,000 people on Moscow's Pushkin Square.
Mr Navalny said "swindlers and thieves" ruled Russia and only they, the protesters, could stop them.
It is believed that Mr Udaltsov had refused to leave the square after the rally and riot police began to clear the area.
Both men have been previously arrested for their opposition activities.
A parallel rally in support of Mr Putin was held on Moscow's Manege Square, beside the Kremlin, with reports of about 14,000 people attending.
