this is of heard we can strike and we're demonstrating against the reform we have decided to mount resistance with no possibility of retreat we're here because we have resolved that we have an obligation to complete our plan of. these protests mail a 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 productions and disruption to the traffic because of lack of fuel and blocked access to gas stations will be fuel. so what is 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 free trade unions were as one on the streets the then prime minister was seen as a cold technocrat and 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 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. extremist there's an extremist populist radical current in france today that encourages violent actions and this time they went too far. even more 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. and stay with us as there's lots more coming your way including. as britain slashes its budget the country's best minds are beginning to look elsewhere and we speak to the oxford academic what a stark warning for the future. in tom a pakistani born american has been arrested for carrying out surveillance on a washington d.c. on the ground as part of a suspected terror plot that is accused of working with people he believed were members of al qaida who were actually f.b.i. agents a u.s. counterterrorism official says there is no indication that was ever in touch was real militants and as art is marina part not found out critics say the f.b.i. is increasingly using tactics that amount to entrapment. may two thousand and

nine according to the f.b.i. the four men intended to carry out their plan. for african-american muslims are arrested but you have to say sir paraded in front of new york news cameras presented as the faces of homegrown terrorism individuals that. jewish facilities here in the bronx it also takes on a military aircraft. a terrifying plot the f.b.i. claims to have more than the suspects quickly dubbed the new book for our poor illiterate ex conflicts with neither passports nor licenses no direction foreign entity or real terrorist group instead direction came from shahid hussain a pakistani immigrant on the f.b.i. payroll reportedly paid nearly one hundred thousand dollars for his services f.b.i. operatives provided the fake c four and actually showed them a fake stinger missile feet weapons and a manufactured terror plot according to court testimony hussein recruited the economically strapped defended spy offering carson catch to carry out the

orchestrated operation then the agent provocateur. testified as the government's key witness in post nine eleven america the f.b.i. has upped its ante against terrorism allegedly boiling hot surprise the country question is would there be any lots of oil without a government in place to help free that despite surprisingly little criticism from amnesty international and human rights watch others have expressed oh mark over what they term entrapments practice considered on its sceptical in countries all throughout europe i now think it is i know what is says entrapment alicia mcwilliams mccullum is the honor of twenty nine year old david williams one of the new birth for she says her nephew is languishing behind bars for a fake terror attack grown in the home of the u.s. government they are creating scenarios they are manufacturing crimes

that would not have occurred if you had not planned on unconstructive seen into a community bin ladin is still out there there are real terrorists out there that we should be concerned about and they should use goes resources to find those individuals in not sit back and rely on a moments to make up crime well these are all people that we begin to identify attorney steve downs who tracks cases like newburgh for argues the u.s. government is systematically employing preemptive prosecution targeting those whom officials deem predisposed to committing crimes before an actual crime is committed or taking some really down and rather vulnerable individuals and not only implanting the ideology of jihad on them giving them all the things that they need all the material setting up the plan and doing all the research everything else and then grabbing them and then claiming that these were homegrown terrorists this is

just a fiction downs created this ten foot wide visual listing the names of individuals he believes were entrapped. but the f.b.i. government decides that for some reason your ideology is causes them concern because then they can come after you and they can manufacture crimes against you and they can make up a whole case and put you through a whole thing and eventually if they can persuade a jury that this manufactured case is valid you can go to jail for a very long time guilty verdicts for all four men as is the case of david williams and the other three who now face life in prison i don't have slaveholders i got government owns a government that will sell of family or for political gain. and this is a god damn shame as a son said to be a god damn i'm larry king today. r.t. new york coming up in just a fifty minutes time our interview with american professor historian norman markowitz when millions in the u.s.

left homeless due to foreclosures of millions more left without jobs he compares modern day america to an iconic so i find movie. in the united states. the people who are called the middle class the working class that's a very important point and the consciousness what happens if the working class is not working what have you if you're working class is not working. then they become what in marxist terms would be the proletariat the marginalized poor do you know the utopian movie playground or 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 are showing to the other planets that in speaking of you know the elites commute 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 an event isn't it is yes yes no it's not a fantasy at all. and even see the full version of that interview in around twenty minutes time here on our t.v. . internat users across the globe can 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 the world's jock e-mails and he is now on the run. you might not have noticed but there have been less spam messages churning around the internet every day in the past few weeks in fact fifty billion less spammers are 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 was 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 you might get as much as five years in prison for this kind of crime we can't tell at this point how much money has an easy counts he's considered the biggest spam and based on he's reading 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 new blee anyone who responded to the mails will be paying to further the scam rate it is the internet's largest such operation but with the russian police investigation closing in on to

serve you still to flip 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 which reportedly made him 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 is a big problem for everyone so from this point a few yes it does a pretty dangerous and currently the node is the. number of spot especially the pharmaceutical spam computer security companies however are being cautious warning that spam volumes could quickly spring back to the previously high levels tom watson r.t. the obama administration has come in for having criticism after a computer glitch knocked fifty u.s. intercontinental ballistic missiles off line for forty five minutes when i believe

the white house is taking too much responsibility for global nuclear security rather than sorting out its own problems political analyst the shelters are asking is among the critics. the mistakes and computer systems is something which is ongoing in you know in the storage and deployment it's known and documented invariably the news doesn't get out. and we have public opinion and simply don't inform instead we're told that the threat to humanity is the h one n one well i i i think that we are very dangerous prostrate odds. notwithstanding this this incident in wyoming but costs the united states and its allies nato have appointing nuclear weapons that not only had to 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 to hans questions and from the federation of american scientists as washington's nuclear policy has to objectives that it's impossible to achieve the goals. if you talk about the importance of nuclear disarmament and how to get there are concrete steps. and at the same time also talk about the importance of maintaining a strong nuclear deterrent for the indefinite future how are you going to square those two objectives which one is most important and how can you show and demonstrate that you're more making more progress on one of them than the other and so this is the big dilemma of course for policy like that of the obama

administration so this is a big big unknown how are we going to move forward on this and and get down to significantly lower numbers without bleachers like this and there is the expectation that some people in congress will tie tried to who gone to this particular incident and use that as an excuse for why they should not ratify the new start treaty whether it comes to that. i don't know we'll have to see. let's not take a look at some other stories from around the world and the death toll from the double disasters of a tsunami and a volcano in indonesia has reached over three hundred forty hundreds are still missing after the tsunami triggered by a massive quake struck off western sumatra over twenty thousand people have been forced to seek refuge in shelters rescue workers could reach victims for two days due to bad weather. a sullivan law that has threatened france over the recent data vales and its support of the u.s. and afghanistan the comments were made in an audiotape which has been aired on

al-jazeera he said that the ban of the burka justifies violence against french people and this is the first time france has been specifically targeted by al qaida . in haiti international aid workers and the u.n. are trying to put a stop to the spread of cholera samples are being taken from the river near a nepalese peacekeeping base over fears ways from the side caused the deadly outbreak at least three hundred people have died so far and over four and a half thousand have been hospitalized. british prime minister david cameron has phone leaders of other nations urging them to reject the planned six percent rise in next year's budget it's believed the rise will cost the u.k. and additional nine hundred million pounds increasing the country's contribution at a time of domestic budget cuts cameron has already been criticised by the opposition labor party for failing to stand up for british interests. and britain

is already beginning to suffer from the drastic consequences of the huge budget cuts announced last week the country's universities are among the sector is a fact that as artie's laura emma found out top academics are starting to look abroad for better funded research positions there. 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 we're 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're 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 switch. and and it's already finding it difficult to meet its obligations in the past three years it's withdrawn 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 his woman who is leading particle physics group has dropped by approximately a factor of two so of a size of my department is about one half of bob in terms of support staff technicians and you news but it was when i arrived dreaming spires they may be but if the government continues to count funding academics say the only thing they'll be trimming of is former glory nor am it oxy oxford. and looking i have financial analyst mass kaiser and state herbert explore
