these protests miller convincing enough for news broadcasts 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 your. 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. even 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 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 this is even more with the people losing patience with not only the government but also the neverending protests it appears public opinion is changing and the trade unions may well lose not only the battle but the war as well. r t parents. are going to live from moscow and stay with us as there is lots more to come your way including. britain slash the budget the country's best minds are

beginning to look elsewhere we speak to the oxford academic with a stark warning for the future. before that a pakistani born american has been arrested for carrying out surveillance on the washington d.c. on the ground as part of a suspected terror plot matt is accused of working with people he believed were members of al qaida but who were actually f.b.i. agents a u.s. counterterrorism official said there was no indication ahmed was ever in touch with the real militants as artie's marina found out critics say the f.b.i. is increasingly using tactics that amounts 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 we have to say sir paraded in front of new york news cameras presented as the faces of homegrown terrorism individuals that. use facilities here in the

branch but also take on a military or. 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 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 fake weapons and a manufactured terror plot according to court testimony hussein recruited the economically strapped defended spy offering cars and cash to carry out the orchestrated operation then the agent provocateur. who are testified as the government's key witness in post nine eleven america the f.b.i. has upped its ante against terrorism allegedly boiling pot surprise the country

question is would there be any plots well without government form in place to help free that despite surprisingly little criticism from amnesty international and human rights watch others have expressed a lord over what they termed entrapment a practice considered unacceptable in countries all throughout europe i now think it is i know what is entrapment aleesha mcwilliams mccullum is the ont 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 us 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 grows resources to find those

individuals and not sit back and rely on a woman's to make up crowd 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 there 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 it's just a fiction downs created this ten foot wide visual listing the names of individuals he believes were. up by 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 the 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 a family off for political gain. and this is a god damned shame there are some said to be a goddamn larry king today. r.t. new york and coming up next hour our interview with american professor and historian norman markowitz well you have millions in the u.s. left homeless do you have foreclosures and millions more left without jobs he compares modern day america to an iconic movie. in the united states. the people who are called the middle class are the working class that's

a very important point and the consciousness of what happens if the working class is not working what their nose at the working class is not working and. then they become what in marxist terms would be the organ proletariat the marginalized poor do you know the to utopia movie playground or a world where you have a small group of enormously powerful super corporations and a world and the masses of people are living in a kind of endless slum and the rich in that in that novel the elites are planning to colonize outer space but if we're showing to the other planets and speaking of you know you lead to controlling 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 even it isn't it is yes yes no it's not a fantasy it all. better

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 of view yes it is a pretty dangerous and currently the node is the. number of spot especially a pharmaceutical spam computer security companies however are being cautious warning that spam volumes could quickly spring back to their previously high levels tom watson r.t. the obama administration has come in for heavy criticism after a computer glitch knocked fifty u.s. intercontinental ballistic missiles off line for forty five minutes that i believe the white house is taking too much responsibility for a global nuclear security rather than sorting out its own problems. mistakes in computer systems is something which is ongoing in you know in the storage and deployment it's known and documented invariably the

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 we don't know and how are we going to move forward on this and get down to significant no one numbers without bleachers like this and there is the expectation that some people in congress will tie it try to hold on to this particular incident and use it 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 but i certainly hope not. you know what you are tell us now take a look at some of the stories from around the world and the death toll from the double disasters of a tsunami able to get over three hundred forty hundreds are still missing after the tsunami triggered by a massive quake struck off western samoa over twenty thousand people have been forced to seek refuge in shelters rescue workers could reach victims for two days

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 switzerland 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 is one of the world's leading particle physics groups has dropped by to sort of 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
