france has paralyzed by further violent protest against cutbacks and pension reform but anger is now turning towards the rioters for making the country's dire situation worse. you just may beat us open sometimes three times a day or two lashes each time. allegations of child paul t. you want to process all this convent s. teenage boarding students accused phenomena of severe physical abuse. plus profits time kicks back out for out with a movie of their own that they hope will howl class. it's three pm in moscow and this is our to you coming to you live with me a news to now way we begin in france where there is another day of on rest where marseilles airport has been blocked by protesters and further demonstrations are

planned in the capital paris it's all part of the anger at the proposals to raise the retirement age from sixty to sixty two which would still be one of the lowest in europe but not everyone wants to protest artie's catherine those are the reports on those who say the country needs to get back to reality and back to work. young smart and ambitious lucy is slipping her time between a master's degree and working for a large international company for her the recent protests in paris are first and foremost a personal distraction i'm not driving because in paris you don't really need your car so i'm using the. headquarter of my company yeah it's it's longer like i knew like one and not follow moral according to trade union officials in france over three million people took to the streets across the country but people like you see no the numbers don't always

reflect reality and in france there is also like a committee it's just to avoid school it's like six years ago i made the same when i was in high school. i went through the strike because i can avoid. the rowdy crowd strictly give off a celebratory vibe singing dancing and shouting but while they're spending day after day protesting a reform that is aim to aid their country they're very actions are doing serious damage basically this is one of the reform that. restore the. system removed disincentive for working out older ages. of the commitment of the government to. take structural reforms that will raise the potential of the economy as well. top of the

coins the numbers really speak for themselves france has a huge foreign debt the fourth largest in the world and unlike in the united states there is no board advertising the numbers also unlike the united states where there is no annual paid leave the french enjoy the longest paid holidays thirty days a year their retirement age. which is what the people are protesting about this time is one of the lowest in the world countries also affected by the global financial crisis like italy and spain have already increased there but with less widespread opposition from the people so are these protests a true sign of a democracy or simply a force of habit by the french people used to pouring out in the streets to get their way or is this is a sign that government needs to negotiate with treat unions more so we have to say to the french people that is they who chose the deputies and members of the senate who make the laws laws are not made in the streets laws are drafted and approved not by revolutionaries fortunately we live in

a democratic state and people who we select to be in power adopt laws besides it's necessary to respect the laws and in a year and a half we'll have the opportunity to say that we made a mistake and change our leaders but until then these are the people who run the country the my way or the highway philosophy certainly attention grabbing but who will back down first is still anyone's guess on the one hand it is a constitutional right of the people to project to gain something they don't believe in and don't agree but on the other hand as well they think if you do it too much it becomes a farce and democracy becomes a blackmailed institution in the hands of the people catchers art harris. well political science professor paul vi told r.t. that the demonstrators are being on reasonable considering they would still gap to retire earlier than most other europeans. the problem was the retirement age has been raised actually

a number of years ago because of the observed democrat demographic trends and so there are actually several attempts before to streamline the system to work increase the number of years that people have to work pay which is still in france lower than the average in other countries as well but all of these measures have been insufficient and so it's come to this measure of raising the retirement age which is only a raise of two years and it's still it would still be one of the younger stages to retire in europe so it's true that the public got to be aware of. the issue but it's true that also that they have been used to generous benefit regime and it's very difficult for them to work actually except to let go of it. here with r t on the way in a few minutes for you moscow seal of approval at city hall. and new air is thus it is not going to lawmakers votes to make such

a case to be done in these sixty may join me alison in just the moments but. also filmmakers in kazakhstan fire there was sponsor the american comedy for rap which lampooned their country find out why they're laughing now. but first prosecutors are looking into claims of child abuse at a convent in central russia teenagers there say teachers beat them with belts as well as deprive them of food and sleep allegations the convent tonight but there were similar accusations a year ago but no evidence of abuse was found or reports from the region. what we do know so far is that we have three teenagers who have seemed to escape from a boarding school located at this very convent that's right behind me and if their allegations prove to be true this may actually be we be one of the loudest child abuse scandals in recent years in russia now the teenagers to girls in

a boy say that the nuns at the convent have regularly mistreated them beaten them and have done all sorts of career of horrific things to them in order to bring them into model citizens as the boarding school positions it's called to be let's actually have a listen to what the teenagers themselves have to say on the matter beauty which ensures that they beat us often sometimes three times a day forty lashes each time once it was in one hundred and three lashes for one girl who cried every day our eyes were never dry and i was puffy who would always have headaches from crying so much and we had no one to complain to. i tried to escape but they forced me to come back i thought back but couldn't really do anything they showed me in the car and took me back there and they did escape it seems and the man they went to is the head of another boarding school also a christian boarding school located in a neighboring town of suzy and that man took them under his wing and is now doing

everything in his power in order to find out whether or not these allegations in fact are true and to protect the children because according to them again the allegations that they are presenting are true and the details are bill gates and also with that but have a listen to what he has to say. one girl was hit with a garden tool and now has a spinal injury which she will have to live with for the rest of her life they would make kids eat a cup of sold will stand on a stool might reading songs and they were not allowed to sleep or kneel down on a tray with nails one girl was forced to put her hand in a hot oven. and one of the peculiar points about the investigation that did take place last year. was the fact that the investigators were not allowed into the premises of the convent and of course the boarding school so they had to rely on hearsay and on this is to all the students of the boarding school and ironically one of the students is now one of the three teenagers who have now escaped and the dad pointed that very girl said that all the ica's ations present is by

a sixteen year old teenager who has escaped a year ago we're not true of course now she says that she deeply regrets the fact that she did not tell the truth but of course now we have to wait for yet another mr gates and find out what really is going on behind this conference walls. don't forget there's much more for you at our website our two dot com here's a quick look at what might catch your eye including a disco for the deaf what kind of music do you plan for an entire club of people including the d.j. who are hearing impaired to find out about moscow my club that's breaking the mold . and russia's prime minister has invoked a classic soviet fairy tale in an attempt to get the latest budget approved back to r.t. dot com to discover what role the fictional bob and you guys play in modern parliamentary politics.

businesses next turn r.t. with kareena stay with us. and great for the. we've got to. get a voice ceased to face with the news maker. hello welcome to our business program good to have you with us this hour the russian government has revealed some of the details of its privatization program the state

will sell stakes in around nine hundred companies by two thousand and fifteen worth around fifty eight billion dollars the program covers the whole spectrum of the government's involvement in business among the most notable offerings of the sale of shares and beating the bank to below controlling if serious investors show interest the government's stake in burbank will be reduced to come falling as well it's holding international airline air flight it could also sell up to fifteen percent of all company ross have by two thousand and fifteen deputy prime minister igor feels all of said the program was intended to help russian modernize its economy. globally but as it was sort of the main goal of the as a sell off would be to change the investment of these assets to attract private investors and if you change the structure of the ownership of the companies to make a new transparently stable and reliable company you used to go out and joining me now to discuss the privatization program as roland mashhad of research for

naysayers capital. well and thanks for coming to the program today if the privatization program does take place would change the. economic landscape off a national ask a pub russia you think is going to raise about one point eight trillion rubles us about sixty sixty five billion dollars over the next five years that's about ten percent of expenditures per year between now and then so it's a significant sum of money for the budget but i think more important as first it's a prime minister should also more important it sends a signal that russia wants to invite foreign investors into russia and wants to continue the process of improving the economic embargo while the plant the finance minister says he expects demand to outstrip supply do you think it will be enough people will be interested in actually obtaining these stocks and that well these companies you know everything's got a price so it really depends on what price these assets all sold out but right now some of the assets i think are really quite attractive for foreign investors some

of the banking stocks in russia spare banking b.c.b. in particular been doing very well they've been modernizing their companies and growing a fairly russian business so i think in some states and some shares you're going to see quite a lot of interest and how do you expect this privatization to take place are you going to play shares in the open market or just select few buyers that would actually take in those shares well that's a little that's a little bit unclear but i think in the back of the minds of some investors is the privatisation process that took place in the in the nineteen the ninety's and this is a this is an opportunity to get over that you know if these are open options we have plenty of demand plenty of them on the supply and i think that that will send a signal that you know what happened then was an aberration and this is the way that things are going to move forward so there is some question marks like the right way that should be done so i think i think there's a good chance that it will be that certain but i've said. do you expect many private russian citizens to get involved in this proposition like you know people are sort of cautious about this as you said you know bearing in mind what have. in

the ninety's they expect many people many private people to actually go for it this time well it wasn't just the ninety's as well there was the privatisation which took place just before the crisis which i think sort of quite a bad signal to the average russian not through no fault of russians but there was a big sell off in the store so i think there will be some hesitation to get involved. and but you know i mean the return trusting stocks i would hope that it's a way of getting people more interested privatisation russian speaking about international investors because that's what the russian government wants to attract international investors as well i mean there's a whole range of companies like all banking agricultural transport sectors which of the sectors do you think would be. sort of interest to international investors i think perhaps against popular view you know the oil and gas sector and russia has tended to underperform particular of the last few years so i would expect the interest to actually be outside of the oil and gas sector in things like banking

transportation a huge amount of money has to be invested into infrastructure so if the right kind of environment is created then i think the areas that would be most attractive for investors are actually outside your sector. thank you very much for taking part of the program and updating this thank you. and now let's take a look at how the markets are going european stocks are moving ahead of the proteas have said hi at this hour after britain's finance minister said the central bank will use margin policy to support the economy again is the food and beverage respect on a positive trading update from critic picked up four percent british airways shares are up as its cabin stewards union passed both resolution to its contract dispute. here and most of the markets are trading higher following yesterday's gains on wall street has is up over want to have a sense of energy majors are up on the course as ross now is gaining over two percent on the r.t.s. gazprom is also trading over a percent higher than banking stocks live from my six spare bank and between three
