you can a well it's hotel closely to see don't need to go publicly and this is the canal was hotel as a retreat. thousands gather in london to pray set to rise in university fees is expected to be the biggest smocks yet and he's prepared to face on the message later i'll be following the demonstrations old day they have. it's only a small segment of the that has all the cream in the us wall street is predicted to hand out wreck or a year end bonuses amid the country's growing unemployment and soaring debt. plus tackling traffic terror with moscow's bottlenecks consistently ranking among the world's worst we look at how local drivers are learning to take advantage of the champs.

elysee is coming to you live from moscow welcome to the program london is braced for mass demonstrations from thousands of students making a final attempt to prevent the british government from more than troubling the amount some will have to pay to go to university. and now is live in the british capital for us let's cross over to see and hello to you laura obviously thousands of students there behind you i see them marching behind you there are some concerns about the possibility of trouble coming with the students of possible violence any any sign of that so far. but it's very any unsafe we're about sort of half an hour into this demonstration now the students with the pay stick out at twelve o'clock now and my self if it's a problem in the same. me quite

a lot of excitement students have been here milling around for about half an hour forty five minutes getting their voices into shape picking up their banners but so far it's been quite a lighthearted affair but there is new reason really judging from previous demonstrations to expect that it will stay that way a lot of them apart stuff without incident but there have been some incidents of violence and most of them have occurred later on of course it's winter it gets dark quite early and that's generally when the excitement begins what these students are going to do is walk about one and a half miles from here down to the houses of parliament where they'll expect to direct you know be m.p. into voting against this type of university being that late expected to take place at six pm this evening when the students have to hold a candle lit vigil outside the house of parliament as i say typically over the last couple of months we have seen things turn slightly nasty where it's particularly when darkness schools templates for a little bit and the police have to get involved so what we've seen is graffiti of

it is that it runs in violence a bit of attacking of property that kind of thing and we are expecting that to happen today this is expected to be the biggest march that we've seen so far between twenty and forty thousand people are expected here just in london today not to mention the rest of the country and joining with the students will be the empty which is one of britain's most powerful unions told its members to join together with the students in the protests and indeed on the entire trade union movement organization after hole so we are expecting a great number of people descend on london for there to be a measure of disruption certainly not only can we see the throngs of people behind you the protesters there but we're also seeing live pictures at this moment some live aerial shots of of the students gathering in london protesting these potential raises into action for us who are tell me this austerity measures across europe obviously a causing a lot of anger tell me what kind of response has not. elsewhere. there are we seen

a series of violent demonstrations not limited to but certainly beginning in the summer they came over from mainland europe where they started in greece and then in barcelona in paris still say and then moved over to england really and swedes this is the third big demonstration that we've seen also in ireland this week we've seen big demonstrations as the irish parliament voted on that toughest budget in irish history and that was in response to say that they would qualify and secured a one hundred fourteen billion dollar bailout from the i.m.f. and e.u. interestingly though we've heard in the papers this morning that allied irish banks which is one of the banks that's been bailed out they're planning to pay food scene million euros in bonuses to their employees take the fourteen forty million dollars in bonuses to be paid out next week immediately in the wake of that austerity budget so there's bound to be an awful lot of anger at it on top of the anger that

there's already been we're also seeing anger in germany because of course the person who pays the most bailing out other countries including ireland and greece is the german taxpayer and germans are really starting to think to themselves it's not fair that we should be required to bail out these countries you haven't necessarily manage their money particularly well so we are not expecting this to be the final demonstration on the streets of london or indeed elsewhere in europe so even though there is a lot of anger spreading across many parts of europe and again we're looking at some very impressive live pictures here of of the throngs of our students behind you and here we have these aerial shots looks like the police are quite seriously outnumbered by the protesters who wish you all the best of luck in those crowds lorimer there reporting for us live from london thank you very much. well jeremy corbyn labor member of parliament in london says that wealthy speculators behind the financial crisis are still able to profit. what we're seeing is the end of

access to higher education for people of average and below average incomes it's going to be the preserve of the wealthy or in the future this is cutting of the core of society those that created this economic mess that we're in are the ones who should pay for it to transaction tax a wealth tax a tax on the very wealthiest people in our society would help to close the gap there is no need to basically hit the poorest people in our society in order to pay off this debt in march in time we need a more sensible more rational more humane approach to the whole issue we're not getting that from the government at the moment i do however think. there is a sort of caravan of despair that goes around europe that denigrates people under an economy and then the very same people through the bond markets and making huge amounts of money out of loaning money to those governments the irish bonds for example of being traded at nine percent at the present time way above the current

rate of inflation and are indeed anywhere in europe and i think that when all the conditions and all the sums and all the investigations are done at the end of this will see that in all this despair some people have made themselves very very rich. let's go back to these live pictures now of these helicon pictures in london as thousands of students are now slowly working their way towards the houses of parliament of course these protests being staged by so many in attendance mostly students that. the british parliament poised to possibly travel to wish and fees for students universities across the country of course there are many economists who say that when you're hiking up the fees for students what happens to the future economy looking at these people here they are the future of the economy and they need education so live pictures here once again from london as the thousands of students are slowly but surely making their way through the police barricades

towards about. part of those live pictures for you right here on r.t. . across the atlantic there's no suffering from cuts for top financial executives who are likely to enjoy a record rise in bonuses. guys are getting much as their bonus is and they want to celebrate a bonus is and hearty and have a great time. while there's a feast on wall street as billions are spent on luxury in the u.s. economy r t looks at how bonuses and benefits are being cashed in. moscow says it expects nato to explain itself over the suggestion it has agreed a plan to defend the baltic states and poland against russia it was just one of the revelations in the u.s. diplomatic cables published by whistle blowing web site wiki leaks russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov had this to say. they began that planning in december last

year just as we held a ministerial meeting of the russian nato council where we decided to move on after the two thousand and eight crisis in the caucasus so it means that on one hand needle was talking with us about partnership and on the other was taking decisions to protect itself against us secondly these plans seem to have been improved in lisp on another platform of the needle russia council where president did it would need to leaders approved documents calling us strategic partner so there is a question about when nato is sincere when it's openly talking with us about partnership or when it secretly deciding you monster it's still somewhat different things we've asked those questions and we're waiting for answers. and staying with the issue of wiki leaks and a payment processing company in iceland is planning to sue credit card companies who refuse to allow donations to the site and mastercard have both frozen financial

transactions meantime the site's founder is in a british prison waiting to find out whether he'll be sent to sweden over allegations of rape or the charges against julian assange dating back to august originally troughed but there reinstatement has led to speculation the u.s. could be using them in an attempt to keep him quiet some high profile american figures have even suggested the internet whistleblower should face execution all of this because secret u.s. diplomatic cables were published that contained criticism of allies but independent journalist antony loewenstein in sydney says even if assad is silenced there are others ready to step in. or he is certainly being ruthless for a long time to be u.s. government would like to get a song in silence here when we should leaks i mean that's something that many of us illustrate you need me it's the world fundamentally opposed and we demand you straight in government provide far more support and resistance to those who think

if they happen one of the concerns that many of us have is that if this extradited from sweden that he will face a political trial rather than a legal trial and we have been attempt to silence him for a very long time once theory is charges so we very much opposed it i very much oppose that possibility but i think it's a real risk and the truth is that if you knock out with the leaks that julian assange is tomorrow someone else we're placing the genie is out of the bottle. and if you want to know more about the effects of wiki leaks revelations and the effects they had around the world you can always find out more on our website that's r.t. dot com there you'll also find other things including how the whistleblower web site could veil the secrets of the russia nato strategic partnership moscow's envoy to dissipate some difficult discussions ahead you can see his interview online. and barack obama faces the second year of blue previous democratic presidents but
