all i'll see a lot of outrage on mt st smart this year's nobel prize ceremony is a chinese political prisoner gets the award because many of the west called for its rulings critics say countries such as the us should focus on their own problems. american companies channeling funds to the whistleblower website wiki leaks have stopped all payments but are still allowing money to flow to violent abrasives groups but the ku klux klan as we report tonight. and london for covering the worst of the rest of the decade a student vent their anger over raise tuition fees with violence spilling onto the street.
1:01 pm
life from moscow you're watching r t nine pm here now welcome she if you just joined this is kevin owen here with a top story of the first time in more than seventy years no one was able to accept the nobel peace prize the pro-democracy activists award it is serving eleven year sentence for subversion his name chinese authorities have not only banned him but also his wife from attending the ceremony in norway almost a third of the fifty countries invited towards lower staying away including russia saudi arabia and pakistan russian officials have even suggested julian sands the leader of the online whistleblower wiki leaks. while washington is hunting for salinger after his latest revelation is the u.s. is among the nation's calling for the release of the chinese nobel prize winner school calls of double standards.
1:02 pm
prizes granted to use you know how i don't want to ask to be judged on you i know what this implies it's really targeting of china on this group and. it has nothing to do. what are you sorry 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 a silence i think that what you see with regard to silence is that once that it's going to silence is now being threatened peace be targeted for releasing information any girl will be eager someday to see the novel standards of the so-called international community where a son is targeted for knowing what's what he should be doing which is really see factual information which should be known to the public and then you have the case where the same people will be pushing for a candidate which is
1:03 pm
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 china and to china's so-called human rights record when in fact the united states human rights record is far worse than that of china i just let you know a lot more comment to come on this story throughout the night here on r.t. as well meantime those supporting wiki leaks have staged a cyber war on companies which are obstructing its work including pay pal visa or master card because firms say they don't allow their clients to promote illegal activities but next tonight is he's going to teach you can reports this doesn't seem to stop them from continuing to serve some outspoken hate groups. the u.s. 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 weekly
1:04 pm
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 sat no longer accept cash donations for the controversial web site the threat of this impact on national security and you say that in the united states everybody. you know what's their parents. 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. particularly over 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
1:05 pm
a single us crime. 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 work 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 nine their master card. any problems processing donations for say no. who clark's planned. movement and his. history of extreme violence with the goals of racial segregation and white supremacy and yet it takes seconds to make
1:06 pm
a donation to the klan using one of those iconic is that the zen master card must be saying it's all about business right but they're not saying that when it comes to. 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 elites. can't help asking if u.s. officials are so down and weak you leaks why aren't they after the week you lease partner papers one other incredible thing about the prosecution is that so many people are falsely reporting that we could weeks has dumped two hundred fifty thousand documents that's not true at all they only were putting stuff on their web page when you go to the new york times or spiegel or the guardian or you swear putting up or very useful to the united states government in some ways there is
1:07 pm
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 usually 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 a week in leaks but not for example the new york times question is why going to shut down our teeth washington d.c. . go live to california speak to be their freedom campaigner peter phillips about this year's nobel prize just to for themselves take the time to be with us and we'll get parts of the wiki leaks just to say it was. very mating today that of course the chairman of the committee called for the immediate release of issues where did you think after all the campaigns that support there is a chance we'll see you lose your set free any time soon. it doesn't seem
1:08 pm
like it looks well because it looks like it's clear in jail getting the award is an embarrassment to the chinese government that certainly will probably not lead to as you release. no speaking of freedom we just saw that with you know the repression of wiki leaks yes yes carry on this is a slightly. broken line we've got from you carry on you're picking up on the very point that i was about to bring up the wiki leaks side to it but carry on with what you're going to say well. i'm part of projects i'm certain i'm a state university and thirty universities world. we see this refreshing of wiki leaks as censorship it's a complete interference to the. world and the involvement of the bank of america mastercard amazon pay pal and other transnational corporations demonstrates the national security state in our blocks with the corporate elite class we have
1:09 pm
a global empire u.s. nato military industrial media empire operates worldwide and in response the press like wiki leaks using all kinds of tactics of. attacking the messenger diversionary news and now. there's a brand it's an arrest it's not a after the fact of a. piece of the lines a little bit broken up but to try to make her. want to study what you saying the so what you're saying is that maybe it is some double standards from america here on one side they're quite happy to clamp down on the on organizations like wiki leaks but on the next side they're criticizing the detail. you're saying is double standard here. that's clearly a double standard. and it's in a comma and empires where there are power and control as in the us military industrial media empire they control the news it's managed new that's top down
1:10 pm
propaganda and now they have the corporations going along with them and the repression and censorship of wiki leaks so is the u.s. actually defending human rights or is it just using the nobel peace prize to target china big global player these days early us. the most. highly europe human rights acts of the world. they keep trying to cover that up and pretend that they care and they go and i mean just as the war in iraq has resulted in over a million civilian casualties. but what about the coming from russian officials suggesting that the songe may be deserves a civil the nobel peace prize in your view would he be a worthy can that it certainly he is one of the leaders of freedom of information in the world i would call in the world patriotic in terms of news and information and pulling the covers off the. pentagon and the
1:11 pm
state department. that's what they've done they've done it quite well and now there's a whole social movement of over two thousand computers an activist. going along with this world while. it's a man using systems to empire what would you say briefly as you can the people that say you know hang on in some ways assad has gone too far here with the information that he's let loose into the public domain i'm talking about those those recent cables that were supposed to be behind the scenes is cause a lot of embarrassment some people say that's been a step back. well you start to expose the truth and you see the real side were. our of course that's an embarrassment to the power but if we're talking about democracy and human rights we need that information it needs to be out and it needs to be public or i will thanks
1:12 pm
for being on the line with pete if it is media freedom campaign or as you are on the line from since so no mother penny that wasn't quite so good but good try thanks very much. all right well still to come in the program a multimillion dollar purchase by a multi-million dollar man find out on this program who bought this. and what makes it so special as well as costly details coming up. before that london is clearing up after the worst day of student protests seen in the u.k. for over a decade young rest came after m.p.'s voted in favor of increasing university tuition fees in england and fled across the british capital with government property vandalized and even prince charles his car attacked by demonstrators lauren that 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
1:13 pm
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. of bottles and firecrackers being aimed directly at police and it was a point in the evening in fact when whenever you saw a police motorcycle or a police car it was being aggressively attacked by protesters and also one point the prince of wales charles and his wife camilla as car was attacked by protesters they were on their way. without what's now being described as significant police protection as attack that car smashed one of the windows and threw paint on that car there's an investigation into how that could have been allowed to happen but the world cup will is on the home and protesters setting ball of fire they smashed windows at the treasury and the supremes cool and interesting really to distinguish it from previous protests it was increasingly difficult yesterday to find students
1:14 pm
who condemns the violence more and more they're saying it's more as a means to an end rather than something to be condemned and something that's hard jacking that message is important to know this rise that has been agreed will treble be about that it costs students to go to university or some students anyway it's going to go up from just under five thousand dollars to around fourteen thousand dollars but that won't take effect until the next generation of students goes to university so this 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 season demonstrates that hardly a demonstration takes place in london without him being there and he said that he's . to fight. for me this. spirit of sixty eight come again. not just sort of parachute in prague of course young people leading the struggle for freedom and first the students moved and then the workers
1:15 pm
this is exactly what's happening here except i think it will be in a much bigger scale right across europe and of course as chris knight says this is not an isolated incident this is part of the europe wide to me vent 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 i'm prepared to come out on the streets again in what some are already calling a winter of discontent lorimer correspondent in london dmitri medvedev is likely to run for a second term as russia's president also according to his aide our colleague of a court of each in a t.v. interview he said that he came to the conclusion from the way medvedev behaved and the initiatives he was undertaking according to his clearly feeling like he's a lame duck president. putin would run for the presidency has raised a lot of speculation both here in russia and abroad that they'll make a joint decision on the issue later and it would depend on the situation of the
1:16 pm
country political analyst what is love in a sense if told us that r t there's unlikely though at the end of the day to be any disagreement between. issues. i think we can witness a quiet. partnership in relations and partners and friends but there are a lot of people behind both politicians behind mr putin behind mr medvedev who. could definitely all interest in some cases and. so i think if we'll see some of the crimes of war between mr. it will be not a quarrel between different kind of politicians between different branches of the arsenal it. moscow police have detained a woman they believe was planning a suicide bombing of the twenty two year old came to the capital russia's sudden republican shetty according to russia's security service she's linked to one of the region's militant groups earlier this year forty people were killed and more than one hundred wounded with two women carried out suicide bombings on the moscow metro
