try canned with a mystery to negate the reform we have decided to montreux distance with no possibility of retreat we're here because we have resolved that we have an obligation to complete our plan of. 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 the viewer now we have the blockade of productions and disruption to the traffic because of lack of fuel and blocked access to gas to go. deep 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 and sounds 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 culture of nicaragua 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 bringing life in the country to a halt and for extremist there's an extremist populist radical current in france today that encourages violent actions and this time they went too far who is 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 not only get better but good. cash returns are about the right to hear. and douglas whether professor of political science from seattle one of the world's largest graduate business schools says as the action of the protestors isn't hitting them directly in the pocket they're more than prepared to go on certainly the the protests and strikes that had caused some economic damage for the last probably quite hard what an exact exact figure on this but not to bear in mind i think that the the people actually striking they're not going to actually pay these these costs for the most part people are actually on strike and the public sector apart from the fact that they won't be paid for the days they were on strike they won't be affected by the negative economic fallout of the of these kinds of protests so that's the reason why impact they are able to go on actually i think a long while european countries are fighting to slash their budgets the european union itself is off to more care that's rankling largest states which resent paying

for the problems of small and nations pushing for strict new penalties including the loss of voting rights for countries which break budget rules disagreements about spending and lisbon treaty amendments are set to dominate a meeting of in you head to brussels and even the polish foreign minister another slough sikorsky said poland with hardly worth half of its g.d.p. once the euro zone to change. the world poland is an aspiring european country that wants to join the euro zone want to join the euro zone with the greek crisis would be impossible we want rules that will not let it happen public debt should be paid we support strict rules in the economy and we want countries not full of such rules to be rewarded. and british m.e.p. and you're a skeptic gerald batten says the large economies use every crisis to feed their ambitions but ignore the only solution to the problems and that is getting rid of the single currency. their problem is always that there isn't enough european union

not to this too much of it but they don't have enough power so they see every crisis as an excuse for demanding more power to solve the problems that they've created in the first place economically it's in a terrible state because of the european single currency greece portugal spain all these countries their economies are going down the tubes the economies of countries like germany and france and the u.k. it would be a lot more healthy if they weren't burdened with e.u. regulation and in the case of france and germany with membership of the euro and of course they have to bear the tremendous burden of bailing out countries like greece and of course bahrain and italy and portugal what we need is to get rid of the european single currency get rid of all the over regulation on business and allow economies to actually revive and become more healthy under proper free market economic conditions the way things are going at the moment is they can ever inevitably only get worse. still to come this for him. while he might be busy picturing the south one of the european nations is busy

should be concerned about and they should use those 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 and actual crime is committed they're 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 list. the names of individuals he believes were entrapped 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 slave dollars i got a government all this government that will sell our family off for political gain. and this is a god damn shame there's a sam said to be a god damn king to date. r.t. new york. or coming up later in the program here in r.t. sending too much junk mail might land one man in jail. spammers are the source for hard to find out how vast networks the point is controlled computers to pass on

hello and welcome to the business bulletin at the russian government has unveiled its proposed general plan to develop the oil industry until two thousand and twenty speaking at a conference in the sim our region prime minister vladimir putin stressed the need to increase oil extraction to maintain current levels and that usually put themselves at the main potential loys an increasing the efficiency of all extraction as well as the development of small and medium sized fields especially as many of them are located in already developed areas as a result of increasing reserves and the development of new fields and improving efficiency we can anticipate that the current level of oil extraction of five

hundred million tonnes per year. for the next ten years. while maintaining order extraction is a priority for the government the countries refiners are looking at paying increased taxes and as tanya pollack over reports this may make some downstream operations on profitable. spent five and a half billion dollars to build the state of the art oil refinery in central russia the refining the official sell this complex is unique for russia mind to seven per cent of all the crude the the rife's here is turned into a usable product with only three per cent waste analysts warn however such expensive projects may stop making economic sense if the government increases x. producing on refined products up to ninety percent of the tax on crude. can from your all save says the government is thinking about the conscious deficit and which

areas of the oil industry it's most wants to develop do they just might be looking for this sector that it's not yet tax and taxed enough and not this generation kosh and so what they seeing with them serving is that there's a. lack of cash for investment in the upstream so perhaps the shift to offer up some segment at the moment the average ex-pro juice here on refined products such as patch oil and kerosene is about fifty five percent off that on crude the prime minister says the rabbi two hundred fifty or the refineries in russia producing a very low quality product bots making a lot of money on preferential taxation and wants the government to introduce a new tax regime for the oil sector by the end of this year but analysts warn against an indiscriminate rise for refined there soon the best way to turn courage complex refining seconder to pastor would probably be to increase its life so that

companies that are producing too much heavy fuel oil would penalised the biggest problem for the oil sector is the lack of new oil field projects and the massive on their investment in the construction the government wants to ensure there is no tailing off from the contras crew. even if that is done at the expense of refiners that's your business our team. and let's turn now to the equity markets european stocks were positive the footsie finished a half a percent high on thursday shares of world dutch shell have gained more than one percent on well received earnings reports from the oil giant telecom votes for going to were among the top game is on the dynamics. of the street was reversed gains made at the open on the first day it's now trading mixed a lower dollar and better job with data have been lending support to caution over the extent of the expected federal reserve economy stimulation is in the way. and
