it's the grand imperial truly the. socialist you see don't need to go and. read this in the kennel was a joke as a treat. the u.s. calls for the release of this year's nobel peace prize winner but some critics say the pressure toward the dissident is an example of double standards as washington tries to silence wiki leaks. and donations are cut to the whistleblowers after online payment services pulled the plug but still leave the door open for extremist groups including the ku klux klan. and the u.k. launches a major investigation into a student tuition fee riots that saw the country's worst in a decade. two

am in moscow i match reza good to be with you here on r t our top story leaders from around the world have called for the release of this year's nobel peace prize winner he's serving an eleven year sentence in china for a state subversion chinese authorities have banned both lou jiabao and his wife from traveling to norway to collect the prize is the first time in more than seventy years the prestigious prize has not been handed to its winner a washington's call to release mr lu has a broader call of double standards as the u.s. piles pressure on a weekly sprite and. the nobel prize is. oh i don't know. oh. no it's really target. since it has nothing to do with what. oh it's actually doesn't it 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 the silence is the most thankless job in the sun just now being threatened he's being targeted for releasing information to the guilty guy so they can see the novel standards of the so-called international community where a son is talkative all knowing what's what he should be doing which is releasing factual information which should be known to the public and then you have a case where the same people will be pushing for a candidate which is a dissident within the people's republic of china at using the nobel peace prize to justify a political agenda and this year it essentially is there to put pressure on china and to sign this so-called human rights record when in fact the united

states human rights record is far worse than that china norwegian newspaper columnist hey will steen says china sees the nobel prize award as an attempt to influence their domestic policy. the bell committed definitely a sincere wish to change the situation in china but i do not think they fully understand the way the prize is being perceived in china it's being seen as very what's. the prize i think that this will be received. arrogant. message from the west if for instance this year's prize will worsen the situation in china rather than making it better and if obama doesn't live up to the big ideals that they have laid on these soldiers then

they're going to have a problem the decision of u.s. based online payment companies to stop processing donations to wiki leaks has drawn the anger of some supporters they say staged a cyber attack on pay pal visa and mastercard asking why the companies are willing to accept a business of recognized extremist groups but not the whistleblower or his guy nature takes a look at. the u.s. government has presented no charges against giuliana songs but the absence of solid accusations did not stop american government officials from reportedly putting pressure at the highest level to cut off weekly leaks money supply the senior executive of america's money transfer giant pay pal said the state department had weakened the company cleaning the online whistleblower who was involved in illegal activities so pay pal along with master card and the sap no longer example cash donations for the controversial website it's the. thread this has some impact on

national security and you say that in the united states everybody. you know what's their patents 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 it is 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 a single us crime and i'm saying convicted but 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 web site leader pay-pal backtracked on acting upon the u.s. government for rask the master card and visa where most of

a sit on the machine 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 more have any problems processing donations for say nuku clark's clan racist movement and his semantic was the 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 using one of one of those i think is a visa and mastercard must be saying it's all about business right but they're not saying that when it comes to we can 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 crying out for cash to leak he leaves. and help asking if

u.s. officials are so down on we kill leaks why aren't they after the week at least parking a paper. one other incredible thing about the prosecution is that so many people are falsely reporting that we could leaks has dumped two hundred fifty thousand documents that's not true at all they only were putting stuff up on their web page when you go to the new york times or der spiegel. or the guardian we're 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 we keep leaks 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 apt to weaken leaks but not for example the new

york times question is why going to shutdown our t. washington d.c. . coming your way a little later how some people in india are dying without even knowing why find out why malaria deaths go unreported and why the country's statistics don't tally with those of the world health organization. but first the u.k. is launching a major criminal investigation into the worst on arrest in the british capital in more than a decade students vented their anger as m.p.'s voted through measures that could see them paying three times more intuition fees violence spilled into the streets with demonstrators attacking police and vandalizing war memorials artie's laura emmett reports from london. 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 was a violent day it's now being called the worst unrest that we've seen in london in the decades i still miss aisles of course schools and fire crackers being aimed directly at police and there 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 to. without what's now being described as significant enough police protection as attack that cost masked one of the windows and three paint on that car there's an investigation into how that could have been allowed to happen but the world cup will is on home and. we're setting ball odds on fire they smashed windows at the treasury and the supremum cool and interesting me to distinguish it from previous processed it was increasingly difficult yesterday to find students

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 the be about that it cost 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 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 it being and he said they need to turn. and that's it. for me the. spirits of sixty eight come again. not just in paris and in prague of course young people leading the struggle for freedom and first the students moved and then to work 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 why me and so we we are seeing this violence spreading and continuing and certainly as i say that the protesters that i spoke to yesterday all determined to come out on the streets again what some are already calling a winter of discontent dmitri medvedev is likely to run for a second term as russia's president according to his aide who gave a t.v. interview he said that he came to the conclusion from the way made better behaved in the initiatives he was undertaking according to our. head that it is clearly not feeling like he is a lame duck president you sure whether made you better for sliding your putin would run for the presidency has raised a lot of speculation in both of russia and abroad that paris said that they will make a joint decision on the issue later and it would depend on the situation in the country

political analysts ladislaw tells r.t. that there is unlikely to be any disagreement between. i think. quite a partnership. in france. a lot of people behind both politicians behind mr putin behind. who. definitely has the only interests in some cases. so i think if we will see some time before between mr putin it will be not a quarrel between different kinds of politicians by between different branches. turning now to some other stories making headlines across the globe israel is offering compensation to the families of those killed in the deadly raid on a gaza bound aid flotilla when they proposals in exchange for turkey's help in protecting the israeli navy against lawsuits but fall short of formally apologizing for the incident nine turkish activists were shot dead by israeli marines during

the attack on iran has yet to resume full diplomatic relations with israel since the tragedy so. it's an archive over a wand as in one thousand nine hundred four genocide is being unveiled it will include evidence collected from survivors and witnesses around eight hundred thousand people were killed over about one hundred days with the most victims from the tutsi ethnic group the telling the tragic event of the nation will be held in the capital kigali just malaria kills more than two hundred thousand people a year in india according to a study but with huge numbers of the deaths in rural parts of the country going on recorded questions have been raised over whether the world health organization is massively underestimating global bonaire malaria death rates artie's charan singh reports. they named yes eastern state of bihar one more victim succumb to malaria it's a treatable infection yet it still takes more lives of media than h i mean. that

malaria has spread everywhere around village no medical teams come to help us and hospitals a far away pull people like us a dying at this hospital in but not many patients believe they have the bed a psychic infection and generally kind of a 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 dinars the number of people couldn't be estimated by the world health organization since many millennia deaths occurred at home and unity as they don't get recorded so research just visited families and asked them to describe what happened to the victims a method known as northup c 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 eight you get

two hundred thousand deaths before age seventy in india it's a staggering number especially compared to was health organizations estimate of just fifteen thousand then were fatalities it disputes the study saying verbal autopsy responders could mistake muti is commonly found 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 poor estimating childhood deaths from malaria in africa so i've been puzzled why they would think a method would work in one continent and not three thousand miles away in another here most medical stuff and indeed hospitals agreed the number of malaria deaths is flom old in the w.h.o. for. as india faces this killer disease it's important for the government and the dup who we true 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 but in seeing r.t. . finally in this news blog all in the name of charity russia's prime minister takes to the stage for a tuneful fundraiser. having the high notes in a english golden lead a star studded sing along world celebrities including sharon stone and kurt russell gathered in st petersburg for a benefit concert in aid of childhood cancer charity. this is r t live from moscow our weekend arts and leisure show moscow are coming your way next.
