that in just a few minutes from. the u.s. looks into an online offensive by wiki leaks supporters who attacked a visa and master card for stopping donations to the. possum phones the ku klux klan. crossing from the heart of the russian capital this is our team with our weekly news review welcome to the program now violent clashes witnessed in the center of moscow on saturday were instigated by nationalist groups that's the belief of 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 brawl the peaceful gathering soon turned into a bloody battle with police that was at the scene when the bandits are up to it. anger mismanagement thousands of football fans took their aggression to the streets

of the russian capital with a smoke filled riot transforming quiet central moscow as flares and bottles flew overhead riot police detained instigators of the clashes at what started out as a peaceful commemorative rally know that. some people have reacted very violently to the death of the spartak moscow. i do believe that some of their dissatisfaction is understandable but it is unacceptable when we have aggression with firecrackers that burst into flames and ordinary people sort of police have already arrested those responsible for the murder of your spirit and will arrest others everyone is equal before the law. the fan in question was shot dead last week during a mass brawl most of those gathered in a city's one year square simply wanted to pay their respects and demand a full investigation 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. we saw that radical protestors joins those spots at fans honoring the dead men and incited mass protests and fighting thirteen people and now in hospital the police must act tough but within the law and they did everything they had to acting as the situation unfolded. the clashes didn't stop with just the capital either st 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 have been agenda nationalists far right is working very hard to mobilize the book into a different nationalist been. you know it's a group. doing a lot of propaganda with a lot of. the fans who are not exactly blameless themselves just

a few days ago spar tech supporters disrupted their team's match in slovakia the referee was forced to call the match off anyway for cup management is already considering serious punishment for the team and 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 head coach of sport that their carbon so that it's not accepted found to behave like that sans clane 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 death you've got to speed up even though they're rushing all doing nothing to block tempers

police managed to restore order to the streets of the capital and st petersburg but many are still afraid this is the be end of the violence. catches are about our team last. british police have launched a major investigation into this week's violent student protests which took place as the house of commons approved the hiking tuition fees thursday saw thousands of demonstrators turned out in central london with windows smashed the treasury in the supreme court even attacked a car carrying prince charles and his wife travelling to a west end theatre i was talking to an old student union says more rallies in cities are likely. it was for the past a university fees will triple to a maximum of nine thousand pounds a year opposition labor m.p. jenny corbett says the need for the back to the bottom of the poor from higher education. what we see is the end of access to higher education for people of

average and below average incomes it's going to really preserve the wealth here 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 really vested in skills we're investing in knowledge we're investing in our future that 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 of the courses 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 quick march in time we need a more sensible more rational more humane approach to the whole issue we're not getting there from the government at the moment that's why the students are on the streets that's why the sound the occupation 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 meanwhile an audience of the government is cutting the salaries of the prime minister in his cabinet and the country's minimum wage in a dataset of austerity measures the euro zone is struggling to save the single currency at the. banks through another round of stress tests. from the adam smith institute says the euro's days could be numbered. 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 in ireland has failed to can bond markets. are still extremely high and we're seeing portugal and spain creeping upwards as well so i think we're probably going to see quite a difficult year for the if not the end of the eurozone 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 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 creating or get into a position where they have a currency that's suitable for their own economies rather than for france and germany which is really what the eurozone project is all about. public sentiment is turning on bankers for wreaking havoc around the world talk show host. as the resident asks people in new york if the rich should pay their share. 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 paid many less 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. limburg you mean or. if you had a lamborghini how would you feel driving it past someone that's homeless i pick

them up and go for. it 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 lisa happiness she. if it doesn't then no it's not a goal of 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 of those out there who are truly less fortunate than yourself. so to come the program waging a wiki leaks war. subsides some easy to call the credit card giant stop

they say they face daily persecution and they live in very poor living conditions they suffer high unemployment a lack of basic amenities like electricity and there's a lack of freedom of movement across the region here but they don't necessarily want to engage in the cause of an electoral system and of course there is then the coup for our brains to boycott these elections so what's expected to happen is that living in the north of the region and who is still directly linked to serbia by rodin very much looks to belgrade do not vote in these elections because the yourselves living in the something place and that will cause all geographically from where they have no choice to engage in this electoral votes if they are to change their lives and that they will go to the polls today so integration remains a long way off the wall many albanians here are very optimistic about these elections billing them as historic in the start of a new unified era that sense of optimism is not shed among the community here there

are several crucial problems that need to be addressed here and cost. of unemployment according to some estimates that runs as high as forty to fifty percent of the population the current unemployed a cost of zero has europe's youngest population the economy here is one of the weakest in europe and then there's crime and corruption food to be endemic at every level here in the in kosovo and then of course the candidate list itself. several candidates from across the major parties who currently under investigation for crimes ranging from corruption to peace of all face and indeed one candidate the leader of the a a k that the alliance for the future of kosovo traditionally called space biggest policy is actually in the hague at the moment on a retrial in front. lines tribunals that is a promise how to deny and you legs that's the easy rule of law mission here and

members of anti corruption n.g.o.s he said that these men should not be standing in these elections to discredit and undermine the legitimacy of this vote. from the british serbian alliance for peace told r.t. that kosovo has a mono ethnic policy with the out costs. cost of war. today stands as a state a false state based on ethnic cleansing and cemented by nato bombs the serbians who remain live in fear of their lives they are loot they live in ghettos they're unable to get out and the only reason they still survive in kosovo and are not fed to the all good in trade is that the albanians have fed so many serbians too in the past is because nato likes to keep living serbs in kosovo as good publicity but they're there they are there just as a publicity to create the impression that cost of war is a multiethnic society course or isn't is a mono ethnic society which has destroyed the lives of hundreds of thousands of

people and the leadership in kosovo consists of criminals who have moved into politicians as western intelligence agencies have said themselves so everyone knows what's going on in kosovo but the idea is to lie about what's going on cos or to a bigger world audience. the u.s. justice department is looking into cyber attacks on companies that have cut off donations to wiki leaks the whistleblower supporters have been waging an online war against firms like visa master card and pay pal the company's all suffered online outages of the wiki leaks founder julian assange and his bank account was frozen he's currently in jail in the end and fighting extradition to sweden on sex crime allegations hackers are promising more attacks meanwhile there's going to chicken reports the firms which have cut off working eeks continue to support other controversial groups. the us government has presented no charges against julian

assange arch but that hasn't stopped government officials from reportedly putting pressure at the highest level to cut off weekly leaks money supply a senior executive of america's money transfer giant pay pal said the state department had written to the company claiming the our my whistleblower was involved in illegal activities so paid. powell along with massa cart and b. so are no longer accepting cash donations for the controversial website it's the threat of this has some 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 it is particularly over national security no court ruling no legal procedures were needed to crack

down on the radio going ization later pay-pal backtracked on that statement it had acted upon the government's request master card and visa were most of a sieve on the subject but the general explanation they gave for not accepting donation payments for we kill it says that the site quoting courage is promotes facilitates or instruct 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 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 a 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 but americans cracked down on the organization that appears to be fighting for transparency and freedom of speech leaves many asking what happens to

american values of freedom of expression these are very difficult things for us to face as americans this is not what we believe in our country we believe it's a country that respects the markers you rule on going to be shown that we're the actress is not easy but us politicians do not shy away from flashing their damaged . product values when rooting for a chinese fighter for freedoms he won the nobel peace prize so there you see the gov standards of western of the so-called international community. is targeted for having released information knowing what's what you should be doing and you have got a case where the same people will be pushing for a candidate which is a dissident within the people's republic of china so they are playing double standards with that regard some even suggest why not give the prize to julian a song. freedom of speech will surely. be

a rational explanation for giving it to wiki leaks others can't help asking if you as officials are so down on we kill leaks why are they after the new york times in the same way or the british newspaper the guardian or germany's they're speaking those are the weak elites partner papers one other incredible thing about the prosecution is that so many people are falsely reporting that we can 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 have the new york times or der 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 week one thing is on the surface the u.s. shows it can interpret democratic values however it wants depending on its gains

ganesh check on r.t. washington d.c. . moscow says it will demand that nato drops its secret agreement to defend the baltic states and poland against russia and the un says plans were viewed by wiki leaks off the nato moscow summit in lisbon which was hailed as the start of a new era in relations at the time both sides formed a clear. they no longer posed a threat to each other russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov says the latest revelations but a question mark at the nato sincerity. league 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 who's taking decisions to protect itself against us. there is a question about where nato we seem see it when it's openly talking with us about partnership when it secretly deciding amongst itself some quite different things.

meanwhile poland in nato was planning to protect against moscow pledged to help patch things up between russia and the alliance assurance came from the polish president cut off the talks with his russian counterpart and he can make better. but both leaders about opening a new chapter in ties had been deadlocked for decades but started to warm up to moscow's help to investigate the mass killing of polish officers in the soviet union in one thousand autism has taken to an even greater level of grief that followed the plane crash in russia last day will kill the previous polish president of. making noise i get more on the day's news at houghton dot com here's a taste of what's just a click away on our web site from the deep in egypt struggles to get interest into tang that's the majority of beaches in sharm el sheikh up close a spate of shark attacks. and making history in the antarctic

the world are very used to imperial gunboat diplomacy they understand it as such of course the u.s. is now by virtue of bringing the u.s. aircraft carrier george washington directly into china's territorial waters while conducting these three way talks with south korea and japan that brings the peninsula to the brink of war and i think that we have to say it for what it is the u.s. government the obama administration the u.s. military is playing with fire right now. to india now where it's claimed that malaria is killing tens of thousands more people and health officials have first thought of huge numbers of deaths in rural areas go unrecorded it's raised questions as to whether the world health organization is massively underestimating global but the area death rates teens charan singh is more. in india's eastern state of bihar one more victim succumbs to malaria it's a treatable infection yet it's dudek small knives amenia than each i.v.

. malaria has spread everywhere near our village no medical teams come to help us and hospitals are far away poor people like us a dying at this hospital and but many patients believe they have the better side to infection. and then for so i think 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 thirty mm dime's the number of people caught in the estimated by the world health organization since many malaria deaths occurred at home many moodle areas they don't get recorded so researchers with good families and asked them to describe what had happened to the victims a method known as verbal autopsy we estimated that something like four percent of the deaths between one and sixty nine years of age were due to malaria and if you multiply that percentage by the national number of deaths at those. two

hundred thousand deaths before age seventy in india it's a staggering number it's specially compared the world health organization's estimate of just fifteen thousand then more fatalities it disputes the study saying the responders could mistake muti is commonly shown symptoms it is true that you can confused with other causes of fever however. accepts the. the use of verbal autopsy poor estimating childhood deaths from malaria in africa puzzled why they were big it would work in one continent and not true because you miles away in another year most medical staff 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 than the w.a. to knowledge the scale of the problem only then can they upgrade their disease
