12:02 am
spreads to oxford street and regent street the main shopping streets here and often we've also seen an attack on the royal family today the prince of wales prince charles and his wife camilla what's happening to the theater not far away from upstate streets when that call was attacked by protesters they smashed one of the when days and they covered that car in case the world couple on top in my seat continue on to the states but it must have been pretty shocked to come against up against that demonstration because they seem to bundle is in the public buildings the treasury had his windows kicked in and process has tried to enter that i know say the six supremes cool it was also a vandalised interesting the different from all the demonstrations that we've seen in london and that it's increasingly difficult to find students who totally condemn the violence that's been taking place some of that up a lot more of them than in previous protests seem to think that it's the violence is a means to an end rather than something to be condemned let's hear what they had to
12:03 am
say about what's going on today it's current. current demonstrations like to try and push through something which really goes well beyond what has passed today is going to be felt good people going to go to the back seat the working class is going to say goodbye to the people who are going to come before because of the focus of the game right now just somebody that was like. yeah i mean if those protests started coming everyone we stay continued has said that this is not going to be the end of the protests of course bill that's being passed laying to fight this generation of students necessarily is going to affect the next generation say they say go to university from around two thousand and twelve the the effect on them will be that some of them will pay triple what current students are paying say it's going up from just under five thousand dollars to around fourteen thousand dollars but there's also a lot of anger against to live the liberal democrats to a one false hope. the coalition government this rule in the u.k.
12:04 am
. the liberal democrats campaigned on a platform of abolishing you know best situation feasible together and now a lot of that ministers have voted in favor of raising university fees we spoke to chris knight the university professor and a seasoned demonstration from a vicious. spirit of six year age comic we just sort of parachute in prague of course young people leading the struggle for freedom and first the students moved and then the workers this is exactly what's happening here except i think it will be a much bigger skywalk across europe and of course this is already a europe wide movements we saw demonstrations in europe which started during the summer and then have moved from continental europe over to the u.k. and to ireland to coast early this week we saw a big demonstration in. government through a the toughest budget in irish history following and e.u. and i.m.f.
12:05 am
bailout to this is certainly not something that's going to go away and in fact a lot of commentators are saying that this is just the beginning of what will be a winter of discontent and possibly also a spring of discontent. from the adam smith institute says the next few months could see a possible end to the use. it wouldn't take a genius to see that there is a crisis approaching the. continent wide crisis i think it is probably because of the government debt but i think the bailout it just failed to bond markets irish bond yield is still extremely high and we're seeing portugal and spain picking up words as well so i think we're probably going to see quite a difficult year for the so it's not the end of the coming months i think we need to see it start looking to the future looking at how countries can return to their own currencies turn to a way that they're able to get their way out of these kind of. high or low interest kind of bubbles that the euro was created. where they have a currency that's suitable for their own economies rather than for france and

12:07 am
government has presented no charges against juliana saunders but the absence of solid accusations did not stop american government officials from reportedly putting pressure at the highest level to cut off weiqi leaks money supply the senior executive of america's money transfer giant pay pal said the state department had written to the company claiming the online whistleblower was involved in illegal activities so pay pal along with master card and the sac no longer accept cash donations for the controversial website it's the threat of this impact on national security and when you say that in the united states everybody. you know what's their parents and they do what they're told. and so i think that it's a misconception in some cases that people think that the u.s. is purely a money driven society it's not the government has certain parag particularly over
12:08 am
national security no court ruling no legal procedures were needed to crackdown on the media organization i think it's outrageous wiki leaks has not been charged with a single us crime and i'm saying you've been charged with a crime and here the nation or the country's financial institutions are taking action on behalf of our state department to extinguish this whistleblower web site later pay-pal backtracked on acting upon the u.s. government's writ crass massacred in the so where most of a sieve on the issue but the general explanation they give for not accepting donation payments will weaken leaks is that the site quote encourages promotes facilitates or instructs others to engage in illegal activity but on the other hand neither master card have any problems processing donations for say new. kook
12:09 am
clark's clan a racist movement and his demand a history of extreme violence with the goals of racial segregation and white supremacy and yet it takes seconds to make a donation to the klan we're using one of one of those i can use that visa and mastercard must be saying it's all about business right but they're not saying that when it comes to weaken leaks and number of senators including the chairman of the homeland security committee joe lieberman were quick to pat those companies on the back for cutting off cash to weak he leaks but some can't help asking if u.s. officials are so down on weiqi leaks why aren't they after the week you weeks partner papers one other incredible thing about the prosecution is that so many people are falsely reporting that wiki leaks has dumped two hundred fifty thousand documents that's not true at all they only were putting stuff up on their web page
12:10 am
when you go to the new york times or der spiegel or the guardian or you swear putting up or very useful to the united states government in some ways there is a severe slanting in the output that is the new york times got to go through as many document as it possibly could in the several weeks or several months given to it by week you eeks to go through these documents and pick and choose those documents that were most conducive towards the new york times there's a lot of mystery surrounding wiki leaks but what's on the surface now are examples of double standards everyone is after we can leaks but not for example the new york times question is why going to shut down our t. washington d.c. . for the first time in more than seventy years and nobel peace prize will be received by its women in person it seemed to make it into chinese authorities which elbowed for his work on human rights and political reform but the pro-democracy activist to seventy seven year sentence some version of chinese authorities are not

12:12 am
so they can see the double standards of the so called international community where scientists talking before knowing what's what you should be doing which is release the factual information which should be known to the public and then you have public case the same people will be pushing for a candidate which is a dissident within the people's republic of china using the nobel peace prize to justify a political agenda and this year it essentially is there to put pressure on signed up and to sign those so-called human rights record when in fact the united states human rights record is far worse about china. we're online and interactive that r.t. dot com where there is more of the day's news and analysis on our new look web site at ground zero i think u.s. pilots are in trouble on the court ruling. the sun the moon and drunk.

. in india it's claimed that malaria is killing tens of thousands more people and health officials had thought as huge numbers of deaths in rural areas go uncaught it is raise questions as to whether the world health organization is massively underestimating global in the area death rates current seeing has more. in india as eastern state of bihar one more victim succumbs to malaria it's a treatable infection yet it still takes more lives i mean india than h i mean meaning that malaria has spread everywhere near our village no medical teams come to help us and hospitals a far away pull people like us
12:15 am
a dying at this hospital and but not many patients believe they have the but a psychic infection generally kind of the south and i have a very high temperature and i think i have now larry and i've come to the doctor for treatment because many people in my neighborhood have malaria a new study has found that malaria kills more than thirteen dying is the number of people caught in the estimated by the world health organization since many malaria deaths occurred at home and you needed lydia's they don't get recorded so researchers was did families and asked them to describe what had happened to the victims a method known as autopsy we estimated that something like four percent of the deaths between one life and sixty nine years of age were due to malaria and if you multiply that percentage by the national number of deaths at those ages you get two hundred thousand deaths before age seventy in india it's
12:16 am
a staggering number especially compared to the world health organization's estimate of just fifteen houses and then more fatalities it disputes the studies saying verbal autopsy responders could mistake muti is commonly shown symptoms it is true that you can confuse malaria deaths with other causes of fever however the w.h.o. accepts the use of herbal autopsy for as to meeting childhood deaths from malaria in africa so bit puzzled why they would think a method would work in one continent and not three thousand miles away in another here most medical stuff in indian hospitals agreed the number of malaria deaths is far more than the w.h.o. for. as india faces this killer disease it's important for the government and the. knowledge the scale of the problem only then can they upgrade their disease control strategies and resources to fight malaria effectively in all its forms thing.

12:22 am
are they consistently called that. they look like what we used to think emerging markets look like they have extremely high levels of debt they have a particularly in europe in the periphery of europe they have situations where. they look worse i mean if you look at historically what countries went through crises in emerging markets well they never had macro positions they were never allowed to get to positions where they were as bad as you would see in spain greece or portugal so you have fiscal tightening in the core countries which is inevitable because of the very high levels of debt you don't have that problem in emerging markets and then you have growth partly because of the fiscal situation and partly because a more secular phenomenon that's much higher in emerging markets than in developed markets so i don't think it's very surprising that we would see that emerging markets will perform developed markets but despite this great performance over the emerging markets fons of the service suggests that investors are cautious about allocating new moderates in emerging markets the figure for the third quarter was
12:23 am
just about ten million dollars so what do you think drives investors away and then i think you should remember that the hedge fund investor base itself is still very damaged there's a good portion of it i would say which is gone and maybe never going to return. probably shouldn't have been there in the first place and then kind of some of the larger institutions in the other parts that i think are probably going forward going to be the more significant and better and more stable part of the hedge fund investor base still taking their time i think to move forward when investors come back it's kind of natural they may come back to the core markets first before they go to emerging markets but i wouldn't think that there's anything particularly scary i think on the opposite i think the tremendous enthusiasm about emerging markets and i think you'll see a disproportionate amount of those flows going into emerging markets that we go forward. lukoil is trying to sell one point five billion dollars of convertible bonds due in two thousand and fifteen is the russian oil giant's first sale of such debt in almost a decade and secured bonds will have
