to complete our plans for these protests miller convincing enough for news broadcast but do the unions in france really hold any sway at the moment the only thing they've achieved is to cost the already struggling economy a shocking two hundred million euros a day. as the protests spread across the country they got out of control of the unions throughout october the unions had only one tactic left to lead the protests and try to tame them to avert widespread violence because of this the risk we face is greater than just the spread of violence which we face before now we have the blockade of production and disruption to the traffic because of lack of fuel and blocked access to gas stations and fuel. so what has changed between one thousand nine hundred five when the same unions managed to shelf the pension reform in one thousand nine hundred five the unions enjoyed a lot more public support compared to now where only fifty percent of the people say they would support those on the streets but not go out themselves today only

the two main trade unions are united in their fight against the pension reform in one thousand nine hundred five most of the existing french trade unions were as one on the streets the then prime minister was seen as a cold technocrat despite the fact that the current french president nicolas sarkozy is not a popular figure in france his popularity ratings are still a lot higher than the former prime ministers but the main difference it seems is that the french people are tired of losing battles that drag on grinding life in the country to a halt for extremist there's an extremist populist radical current in france today that encourages violent actions and this time they went too far. with the people losing patience with not only the government but also the never ending protests it appears public opinion is changing and the trade unions may well lose not only the battle but the war as well gasoline is over r t pairs. what you know if you live from moscow stay with us there's a lot more coming your way including. flashes budgets the country's best minds are

know the. utopian movie playground or if you have a world where you have a small group of enormously powerful super corporations and a world and the masses of people living in a kind of endless slum and the rich in that in that the whole the elites are planning to colonize outer space but if we're showing to the other planets that it's speaking of you know the elite rolling the situation on the masses really being in terrible conditions many are saying that that is what's going on right now yeah well so it's not that isn't it is yes yes no it's not a fantasy at all. and if you see the full version of that interview in about twenty minutes time from now here in our t.v. the internet users across the globe could now have a sigh of relief after the man thought to be the world's biggest spammer was revealed thirty one year old is accused of being behind

a fifth of all global junk e-mails and he's now on the run. you might not have noticed that there have been less spam messages churning around the internet every day in the past few weeks in fact fifty billion less spammers are a source for hard to find and how vast networks acquire is controlled computers to pass on emails but it seems that once you do start looking in the right place the results can be fast dramatic officials say the recent fall in spam emails is because the world's most prolific spammer has done a runner i hope we will be. it depends on on there he moved recently although no pictures of him are available bigger goose of a suspected of flooding the web with bogus marketing. according to the law he might get as much as five years in prison for this kind of crime we can't tell at this point how much money he has an easy counts he's considered the biggest spammer

based on his grabbing knees and the number of messages he was sending. goose effused the web site spam it dot com and glove med dot com which supposedly paid spammers to promote fake versions of prescription drugs often quite lewdly anyone who responded to the mails will be paying to further the scam rated as the internet's largest such operation but with the russian police investigation closing in on to serve he still to fled the country searches of the seven removable hard drives for flash cards and three laptops found in his moscow apartment may bring charges related to his online empire is reportedly made to move a million dollars both to serve and his lawyer of denying he promotes spam but now that he's gone the amount of prescription drug related junk mail has dropped significantly amounting to a fifth less daily spam traffic worldwide spam itself or the big problem for everyone so from this point of view yes it does

the public opinion is simply not informed instead we're told that the threat to humanity is the age one in what. i i think that we had a very dangerous crossroads. notwithstanding this this incident in wyoming cos the united states and its allies nato have pointing nuclear weapons at not only other run but several other countries and they have said that they can use these weapons on a preemptive basis not any kind of nuclear attack on iran would lead to a world war three scenario this is this is very clear and it's well understood but it is not front page news the threat to humanity resulting from from those weapons is not front page news and hans kristensen from the federation of american scientists says washington's nuclear policy has to objective spot it's impossible

last week the country's universities are among the sector is affected and as artie's lower and found out top academics are starting to look abroad for better funded research positions elsewhere. oxford city of dreaming spires and academic excellence but not for long according to some if the government refuses to support it professor brian foster loves oxford he's a particle physicist head of one of the leading research departments in the world but he's also a reluctant participant in a brain drain as scientists abandon the u.k. for better funding abroad everything about oxford is fantastic except that before getting to do our research from the government you know perpetually going down becomes a point when you can no longer even with the best people do what you need to do so professor foster's off to hamburg where the government will give him a million euros a year for research into whatever he likes plus

a generous salary that's a lot of money he says roughly half what he gets in oxford to run his entire department with thirty academic staff and all that entails for now britain has one of the best research reputations in the world held by prestigious universities like oxford but some academics believe that ranking could be undone within five years if funding is withdrawn and this is a time when other countries like singapore france and germany are increasing their budgets scientific research got off relatively lightly in the government's recent spending cuts it will see only nine percent of its money disappear due to inflation in the next four years instead of the feared twenty five percent hold coalition government has recognized the importance of science and research for the future of the british economy and so even in these tough times when we have to save money we

are protecting the science and research budget in cash terms it's going to be absolutely stable for the next four years but it may be too little too late the u.k. has international agreements with institutes like cern. in switzerland and it's already finding it difficult to meet its obligations in the past three years it's withdrawing from several such agreements since the time i've been here the amount of funding that we received in oxford which is one of the world's leading universities and this is one of the world's leading particle physics groups has dropped by to sort the size of my department is about one half of bob in terms of support staff technicians engineers but it was when i arrived dreaming spires they may be but if the government continues to cut funding academics say the only thing they'll be trimming of is former glory nor am it artsy oxford and looking had financial analyst max geyser and stays herbert explore a new possible cause of the financial crisis this time
