to talk to stop intonations to discipline a posse funds to the ku klux klan. you're watching r t live from moscow on carriages to violent clashes witnessed in the center of moscow on saturday instigated by nationalist groups that's the belief for russia's interior minister thousands had gathered in the capital to mark the recent death of a russian football fan who was killed in the brule the peaceful gathering soon turned into a bloody battle with police that was at the scene in the balance erupted. anger mismanagement thousands of football fans took their aggression to the streets of the russian capital in a small field riot transforming quiet central moscow as fires and bottles flew

overhead riot police detained instigators of the clashes at what started out as a peaceful commemorative rally to know that. some people have reacted very violently the death of the spotlight was good and it was i do believe that some of the dissatisfaction is understand it was good but it is unacceptable when we have aggression with firecrackers that those into flames and ordinary people are sort of police of already arrested those responsible for the murder. and will arrest others that everyone is equal before the law. the fan in question was shot dead last week during a mass brawl most of those gathered in the city's minute square simply wanted to pay their respects and demand a phone destination into the death of one of their own but take into account the fact that the suspect in this homicide is from the north caucasus and the story it's an ugly nationalist twist according to officials members of the country's various nationalist movements and not football fans instigated the violence by you

but by the way it was recently that radical protestors joins those spots at fantasy owner of the dead men and insides of mass protests and fighting thirteen people are now in hospital so the police must act tough but within the law and they did everything they had to act in as the situation as follows. the clashes didn't stop with just the capital either petersburg rally in memory of city that quickly turned into a fight between protesters and riot police with many injured and over fifty detained so is this nationalist violence for violence sake or is there had been a genda the nationalist far right is working very hard to mobilize the book into different nationalist than. you know it's a group. doing a lot of propaganda with a lot of success the fans who are there are not exactly blameless themselves just a few days ago spar tech supporters disrupted their team's match in slovakia they

were free was forced to call the match off anyway for a cup management is already considering serious punishment for the team the next matches can be held with no audience in the future in the europa league and for me it's quiet quiet ignore quite normal and of course the part that will be fine and on thursday i think next day after the match the head coach of sport that their carbon so that it's not accepted found to behave like that sans clain they want justice for a friend who had been killed but violence is not the answer saturday's clashes prove that both the story and the aggression are not really about football to the instigators however it's all fair game tensions have been on the rise just you've got to speed up even though they're rushing all doing nothing to offer tempers at least managed to restore order to the streets of the capital and st petersburg but

many are still afraid this is the be end to the violence. catchiness are about r t s. british police have launched a major investigation into this week's violence student protests which took place as the house of commons approved a hiking tuition fees thursday saw thousands of demonstrators turned out in central london windows smashed the treasury and the supreme court even attacked a car carrying prince charles and his wife travelling to a west end theatre company well on holiday the student union says more rallies and sit ins are like. a business finally passed investee fees were tricked into a back smooth nine thousand pounds a year opposition labor m.p. jeremy corbin's there's no room for actively above them. higher education 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 wealthier in the future the trend will be we'll have

a less well educated less skilled less qualified population i see education as an investment for the future will be vested in young people revestive in skills we're investing in knowledge we're investing in our future that where is the economic growth of the future where the advantages of two more aware of the writers and the artists and musicians of tomorrow this is cutting at the core of society those that created this economic mess that we're in are the ones who should pay for it a 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 all rational more humane approach to the whole issue we're not getting that from the government at the moment that's why the students are on the streets that's why the seventy occupations and crucially that's why so many others trade unions and people work in the public sector and people are worried about their services are also joining the students in the demonstration. while in ireland

the government is cutting the salaries of the prime minister and his cabinet and the country's minimum wage and the latest set of austerity measures the eurozone is struggling to save the single currency as the plans to put the banks through another round of stress tests. from the adam smith institute the un's days could be numbered. it wouldn't take a genius to see that there is a crisis approaching the years on a major continent wide crisis i think it is probably because of the government debt but i think the bailout in ireland has failed to bond markets. are still extremely high i would see in portugal and spain creeping up words as well so i think we're probably going to see quite a difficult year for the eurozone it's not the end of the euro zone in the coming months i think we need to see it start looking to the future looking at how countries can return to their old courtesies 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 creating a situation where they have

a currency that's suitable for their own economies rather than for france and germany which is really what the r.'s and project is all about. public sentiment around the world is turning on bankers for wreaking havoc with the economy they're increasing calls to raise taxes for the rich talk show host only half mr also known as the restaurant ask people in new york how they think taxation should be distributed. should the rich pay more in taxes this week let's talk about that one percent of the population of this country makes more than all the rest of us combined and i think they should be helping the rest of us alone do you think that's a form of penalizing them for their success no not at all if you don't have rich people you don't have poor people so you think that everyone should be taxed faintly and we should have a flat tax like most countries in europe the tax burden is ridiculous for everyone

not just the rich and i think we should not have class warfare we need to do something about the deficit and because there's no reason to give them a break they pay midlist taxes in the used to under clinton and that wasn't tough times if you were one of the top one percent would you feel the same way apps yes i believe i would warren buffett does and he's at the top of the top so i don't lot of people say it's a way of punishing them for their success because they listen to fox news we should come up with something is fair and equitable for everybody i don't know there was necessarily have to ask people to pay more just because they make more but perhaps the structure could be made more fair for everybody so that it's more equitable across the board that's what i would like to see do you think that we could ever create a structure that would satisfy everyone know what kind of car would be your dream car. or redbird china if you had a lamborghini how would you feel driving it past someone that's homeless

a pick them up and go for it. but you wouldn't feel too bad about it that soon get over it i think but. do you think we in this country value money and seek to be rich more than people in other countries way too much is being rich something that you aspire to i aspire to be happy so if for me having money at least the happiness . if it doesn't know about a gold mine do you think that people in this country focused on being rich more than other places yeah i'm sure i think it's just part of our culture whether or not you believe the rich should pay more in taxes the bottom line is that before you formulate your opinion you might want to consider all those out there who are truly less fortunate than yourself. well then still to come in the program waging a wiki leaks war hackers launch massive cyber attacks on most of the credit card jawing stopped processing donations to the whistle blows website still though money

. i think that the the situation in the global economy is dire and russia can't help but be affected by that joining the w t o would be a stabilizing factor for the world economy and indeed i think the troubles in europe are one of the reasons why they are reaching out to russia now a little bit more energetically than they did in years gone by because they know they've got problems and if you get russia on side which does have a relatively stable economy and some finances russia can be perhaps more helpful on the inside them than on the outside. the u.s. justice department is looking into cyber attacks on companies that have cut off donations to wiki leaks the whistle those supporters have been waging an online war against firms like visa master card and pay pal companies all suffered online outages we can make founder julian assange and his bank accounts frozen he's currently in jail in london fighting extradition to sweden on sex crime not

stuff up on their web page when either the new york times or spiegel. or the guardian or us were putting up. so what could possibly be the legal rationale for going after we can leaks and not going after the new york times there are a lot of unanswered questions about we queue leaks one thing is on the surface the us shows it can interpret democratic values however it wants depending on its gains ganesh check on our t. washington d.c. . moscow says it will demand that nato drops its secret agreement to defend the baltic states and poland against russia he dances plans were revealed by the king weeks after an eight zero moscow summit in lisbon which is hailed as a start of a new era in relations. saying time both sides only to clear the longer posed a threat to each other russia's. foreign minister sergei lavrov says the latest revelations put a question mark at any one time sincerity. the leaks suggest

planning of military action to repel for example a russian attack on the baltic states we paid special attention to that it means on one hand nato was talking with us about partnership and on the other is taking decisions to protect itself against us. there is a question about when nato we've seen see it when it's openly talking with us about partnership when it secretly deciding amongst itself some quite different things. poland nato was planning to protect against moscow pledged to help patch things up between russia and the lights. came from the polish president by staff car asking after talks with his russian counterpart meet in the dead of in warsaw by both leaders about to put a new chapter in ties but they had been deadlocked decades but started to warm to moscow helped best again with less killing of polish officers innocent union in the

confusion of bounds over who the us is fighting and where with no defense of the losses how many u.s. troops u.s. soldiers would you say have been killed in a war in afghanistan oh far too many obviously and it's and it's terrible and i i hope it can be resolved i hope that how many would you say. gosh more than forty four hundred u.s. troops have been killed in iraq more than thirteen hundred in afghanistan. and along with lives those missions together have cost the american taxpayer a lot of cash i would say probably back to. the wars together have cost more than one trillion dollars and counting money spent since the u.s. invaded iraq back in two thousand and three and afghanistan when something. like that afghanistan. two years the u.s.

has been there since two thousand and one nine years the responses we've gotten here in the heart of new york's. it is time square are that surprising when you look at a recent poll it found public concern with the wars is very low just seven percent of americans consider the wars in iraq and afghanistan to be the biggest problems facing the united states now why this is the case is up for debate but some point to the role of the us mainstream media which focuses more attention on sensational news even entertainment headlines than on coverage of the war was when it's hard to dramatize our successes and you know our heroic accomplishments you know people tend to look the other way it's something that's sort of more engrossing if you will perhaps less important or the news was a low in saying and rehab has been cut short focuses more on something like this for a court ordered rehab coverage of the rehab stints of a young hollywood actress mourning network shows they definitely like to focus on
