8:02 am
well once a ten is hunting for us on tap to his latest revelations the us is among the nation's calling for the release of the chinese nobel prize winner some say it's not double standards. but it's. no prizes granted the lucille ball i don't want to pass in the judgment on your style all right in effect what is implied is it's really been targeting of china dumped on into political sense although it has nothing to do with what are you shall ball is actually done and you come to the conclusion that cries based on political considerations rather than on anything tangible well i saw the statement by the russian media regarding assad and i think that what you see with regard to the silence is the most status going into scientists now being threatened he's being targeted for releasing information to the field will be something to see the novel
8:03 am
standards of the so-called international community where a son is talking to a halt knowing what's what he should be doing which is releasing factual information which should be known to the public and then you have the opposite case where the same people will be pushing for a candidate which is a dissident within the people's republic of china and using the nobel peace prize to justify a political agenda and this year it essentially is there to put pressure on china and to china's so-called human rights record when in fact the united states human rights record has fallen worst about china. well those supporting wiki leaks have staged a cyber war on companies which are obstructing its work including paper how visa and master card these firms say they do not allow their clients to promote illegal activities but is going to change it can reports this doesn't stop them from continuing to serve some outspoken hate groups. the u.s.
8:04 am
government has presented no charges against julian a song 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 massive card and the sat no longer accept cash donations for the controversial website it's the threat of this impact on national security and 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 certain particularly over national
8:05 am
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 u.s. crime and i'm saying even 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 website later pay-pal back tracked on acting upon the u.s. government's work past master card and the so were most the vase of 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 nine there master card. any problems processing donations for say. kook clark's clan
8:06 am
a racist movement and his. 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 those i think is a visa and mastercard must be saying it's all about business right but they are not saying that when it comes to 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 too weak he leaks but some can't help asking if u.s. officials are so down on we kill leaks why aren't they after the week you leaks partner papers one other incredible thing about the prosecution is that so many people are falsely reporting that we can weeks has dumped two hundred fifty thousand documents that's not true at all they only were putting stuff on their web
8:07 am

london is clearing up after the worst day of student protests seen in the u.k. for over a decade the unrest came after m.p.'s voted in favor of increasing university tuition fees in england violence flared across the british capital with government property vandalized and even prince charles car attacked by demonstrators artie's lore and reports. we're seeing broken glass a lot of people being drafted in for this cleanup operation a lot of the violence was centered around the green area which is just opposite the houses of parliament that protesters tore down fences which are now being having to be put back up again yesterday was a violent day it's now being called the worst unrest that we've seen in london in a decade. for schools and firecrackers being aimed directly at police and it was a point to me in fact when whenever you saw a police motorcycle or a police car it was being aggressively attacked by protesters and also one point
8:12 am
the prince of wales charles and his wife camilla as car was attacked by protest they were on their way. without being described as significant police protection as attack that car smashed one of the windows and three car there's an investigation into how that could have been allowed to happen but the world cup will. protest setting ball of fire they smashed windows at the treasury and the supremum cool and interesting really to distinguish it from previous protests it was increasingly difficult yesterday to find students who condemn the violence more and more best seeing it more as a means to an end rather than something to be condemned and something this hijacking that message is important to note this rise that has been agreed will treble be about what it costs students to go to university or some students attend the way it's going to go up from just under five thousand dollars to around
8:13 am
fourteen thousand dollars but that won't take effect until the next generation of students goes to university service this is something that will really come into force in around two thousand and twelve we spoke to chris knights yesterday who's a professor of anthropology and also a seasoned demonstrates that hardly a demonstration takes place in london without him being there and he said that he's . and that's what he said for me to. come again. shortly 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 scale right across europe and of course as chris knight says this is not an isolated incident this is part of a europe wide to me and so we are seeing this violence spreading and worsening and continuing and certainly as i say that the protesters that i spoke to yesterday all determined to come out on to the streets again in what some are already calling

8:21 am
autopsy respond good mistake when it is commonly foam symptoms it is true that you can confuse malaria deaths with other causes of fever however the w.h.o. accepts the use of verbal autopsy for estimating childhood deaths from malaria in africa so bit puzzled why they would think a method would work in one continent and not three dozen miles away in another here most medical stuff and indeed hospitals agree the number of malaria deaths is far more than the w.h.o. figure as india faces this killer disease it's important for the government down the w.h.o. blew up not least the scale of the problem only then can they upgrade their disease control strategies and the soldiers to fight malaria back to me you know all its forms got and seeing. then it. well later this hour more and andrew lives it up with uncle sam in the russian capital.

hedge funds have seen the largest net inflows since two thousand and seven with capital rising one hundred twenty billion dollars in the third quarter for now investors a still wary of emerging markets but the founder of a moscow based hedge fund says that is set to change. emerging market countries which are very strong emerging market countries have record levels of reserves. i think something like sixty percent or sixty five percent of all global reserves and when you look at the other side of the equation in developed markets if they can still even be called that. they look like what we used to think emerging markets look like 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 this service suggests that investors are cautious about allocating new model to emerging markets the figure for the third quarter was just about ten million dollars so what do you think drives investors away when investors come back
