a few moments from bill. and we can exporters wage a war in companies who cut off the. passing money on to the ku klux klan. that we're watching r.t. and this is our weekly news or welcome clashes witnessed in the center of moscow on saturday were instigated by nationalist groups that's the belief of russia's interior minister thousands have gathered in the capital to mark the recent death of a russian football fan who was killed in a brawl but the peaceful gathering soon turned into a bloody battle with police. at the scene when the violence erupted. anger mismanagement thousands of football fans took their aggression to streets of the russian capital in a small field 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 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 understandable but it is unacceptable when we have aggression with firecrackers that goes into flames and ordinary people is not the police have already arrested those responsible for the murder. and will arrest others that everyone is equal before the law. the founding 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 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 by the way it was we saw that radical protestors joins those spots at fantasy owner of the dead men and incited a mass protests and fighting thirteen people in a hospital so the police must act tough but within the law and they did everything they had to act in as the situation was reversed. the clashes didn't stop with just the capital either petersburg rally in memory of city to quickly turn 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 magenta nationalist far right is working very hard to mobilize the book into a different nationalist been. nazi groups. doing a lot of propaganda with a lot of. the fans who have or are not exactly blameless in selves just a few days ago spar tech supporters disrupted their team's match in slovakia they

were three was forced to call the match off anyway because management is already considering serious punishment for the team in the next matches can be helped with no audience in the future in the europa league and for me it's quiet quiet now are quite normal and of course 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 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. catching us out of 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 two mission fees thursday saw thousands of demonstrators turned out in central london when their smash hit the treasury in the supreme court and even attacked a car carrying prince charles and his wife who were travelling to the west bank to the world cup of. union says more about it since it is unlikely if the bill is finally passed her city fees will triple to laksmi nine thousand pounds a year is this an labor m.p. jeremy corbyn says the move what effectively bar the poor from higher education. what we're seeing is the end of the axe. 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 reinvesting in skills we're investing in knowledge or investing in our future that where's the economic growth of the future where the advantages of to 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 to 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 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 in modern ireland

the government is cutting the salaries of the prime minister and his cabinet and the country's minimum wage in latest set of austerity measures here is only struggling to save the single currency as the new plans to put the banks through another round of stress tests some berman from the adam smith institute says the u.s. days could be numbered. it wouldn't take a genius to see that there is a crisis approaching the arizona 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 irish bond yield is 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 it's 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 own 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 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 are some project is all about. public sentiment is

turning on bankers for breaking economic how the qur'an the world talk show host laurie halfassed also known as the resident ask 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 why 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 red bird shot or 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 but 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 she. 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 still to come the program waging a wiki leaks war hackers launch massive cyber attacks most of the credit card stop processing motions to the website. and blinded by the lights one of the attention of the american people focused on

our way country's most of iraq. election fever grips the nation cos of us serbs are facing an uneasy choice that he three years after the split from serbia the self-proclaimed state is holding its first parliamentary poll and his habit reports from cost of his capital. this is a region still starkly divided along ethnic lines most notably between the majority albanian population they make up some ninety percent of the population here in the minority community of around one hundred thousand people it's still around fifty percent of the electorate who vote in elections today but the majority of them will be albanians. divided they say they do want to vote to change their everyday lives 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 crew from better 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 to not vote in these elections but. living in the something place and that will cause graphically from where they have no choice but 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 serbian the community here there are several crucial problems that need to be addressed here and cost. of unemployment according to some estimates it runs as high as forty to

fifty percent of the population the current unemployed and cost of zero has europe's youngest relation 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 policies are currently under investigation for crimes ranging from corruption to peace of office and indeed one candidate the leader of the a a k that's the alliance of the future of. space third biggest party is actually in the hague you get the moment on a retrial in front of the international war crimes tribunal that is around much how to deny and you legs that's the easy rule of law mission here in members of their anti corruption n.g.o.s he said that these men should not be standing in these elections if they discredit and undermine the legitimacy of this.

from the british serbia lives for peace told r.t. that kosovo has a mono ethnic policy which serves the outcasts 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 live 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 organ 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 across what is a multiethnic society 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 whistleblowers 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 on his bank account was frozen he's currently in jail in london fighting extradition to sweden on sex crime allegations because a promising more attacks meanwhile is going to take on reports the firms which of cut off wiki leaks are continuing to support other controversial groups. the us government has presented no charges against julian a song 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 online whistleblower was involved in illegal activities so pay pal along with massive card and b. cell are no longer accepting cash donations for the controversial website it's the threat of this has some impact on national security and would 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 us is purely a money driven society it's not the government has certain progressives particularly over national security no court ruling no legal procedures were needed to crackdown on the media organisation later pay-pal backtracked on its statement it had acted upon the government's request mastercard and visa were most the face if on the subject but the general explanation they give 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 nine their master card more said i have any problems processing donations for say nuku clark's clan 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 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 marker soon rule or going to be shown that we're the opposition is not easy but us politicians do not shy away from flashing their democratic values when rooting for a chinese fighter for freedoms he won the nobel peace prize so now you see the governor of west of the so-called international community. is targeted for having released information. what what you should be doing and 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 so they are playing double standards with that regard some even suggest why not give the prize to julian a song this year is freedom of speech will surely. be a rational. explanation for giving it to wiki leaks others can't help asking if u.s. officials are so down and we kill leaks why aren't 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 wiki 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 a place where 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 kill leaks one thing is on the surface the u.s. shows it can interpret democratic values however it wants depending on its games going to check on our t. washington d.c. . moscow says it will demand that nato drops its secret agreement to defend the both take states and poland against russia iran says plans were revealed by wiki

leaks are the nato must pay some attention has been has hailed as the start of a new era in relations time both sides for me declared they no longer pose a threat to each other russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov says the latest revelations put a question mark of a new sincerity. that was so disillusioned with 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 taking decisions to protect itself against. there is a question about when nato we soon see when it's openly talking with us about partnership when it secretly deciding amongst itself some quite different things. i mean while poland in nato is planning to protect against moscow to help patch things up between russia and the alliance insurance came from the polish president komorowski talks with his russian counterpart to me to read read it in warsaw so

both leaders vallet are open a new chapter ties relations have been deadlocked for decades the standard to warm up to moscow helped investigate the mass killing of her shop assistant 1940's has taken an even greater level of grief for the plane crash in russia last april that killed the previous post president. the realities of america's wars in iraq and afghanistan inescapable for many but it seems in the us itself people know little of the campaigns so their brittany's gets far greater coverage than either troop deaths or the billions spent on the wars. an average day on the streets of the big apple an urban metropolis of lights cameras and action these stars and stripes preside over it all. they're the same one seen here that come marching somberly home from us wars overseas though they seem a world away so too do the wars in afghanistan and iraq for the american people who

know only this flag that they were innocent. and that toward iraq it's the war in. confusion of bounds over who the us is fighting and where with no sense of the losses how many u.s. troops u.s. soldiers would you say have been killed in the 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 about twenty billion. 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. one

question because unlike the afghanistan i was 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 city's times 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 u.s. mainstream media which focuses more attention on sin. seashell news even entertainment headlines then on coverage of the war 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 a less important or the news plays a low in say in rehab has been cut short focuses more on something like this from

court ordered rehab coverage of the rehab stints of a young hollywood actress morning network shows they definitely like to focus on the fluff and in turn people searching to come up with answers to questions about the wars their country is fighting have no trouble answering this lindsey lowe in issues still in rehab. no i think she's out they should go to rehab these are headlines they can recite even if they wish they couldn't who cares no we're more worried about that keeps out there but for now the stork reality beneath these stars and stripes is lost in the urban chaos the frivolous media mayhem beneath these ones a world removed and far away from the consequences of u.s. foreign policy on an average day any given day on the streets of the big apple store in lister r.t. new york. german shipbuilders may have been a year late to differing ramana promote his new york but the four hundred million
