a look. the only language that they understand is shutting down in the us most are familiar with the age old protest tactic of civil disobedience we usually mob protests you're supposing what's established or standing somewhere with silence would be civil disobedience but these days with rising inequality and low wages in the us being a pressing issue many researchers and activists are documentation wages are falling cutting benefits for people taking away their pensions and there is evidence of a different form of disobedience now taking place all over the country may not be at all high paid to the papers there are no statement making the right fit in love with the research call it economic just so you may not see it because going on underground. and poor neighborhoods in new york city some residents organize to raise a little money to buy subway cards offering unlimited rides they swipe as many

people in as they can to give them a free ride a very resistant their rights were resisting the cost of living is going up in so many ways for all the one of the activists who organizes this form of disobedience most importantly it's in response to an economic system he sees as unfair and taxes are being cut for the wealthy people on their bail outs for a very small. number of the richest people in this neighborhood so we just think that's wrong un-american sociologist found the subversion of the system going on all over the country but she found these acts among business managers in the middle class helping out their employees and they really were about the fact that wages for some or all these were managers who felt as though the people working for them during a jobs being responsible were still unable to take care of their families she found grocery store managers sending bags of food home with were. there is vast

food managers padding paychecks with overtime wages she also found most of these managers believe breaking the rules is wrong but these people are saying that there are much bigger problems and ignoring the fact that people who are working very hard for you are unable to feed their children in the minds of some people at least let us become a bigger wrong in their eyes it's a bigger wrong people are breaking the rules to make right whether it's in all these low income new york neighborhood neighborhood people who don't really have much of a political voice or whether it's behind the closed office doors of the middle class breaking the rules because of the economic imbalance in the country and what seems in america to be the rising disobedience of modern day that are going to bail us out this is what will do to yourselves or more in mr r.t. new york. for any of the stories we're covering here in our team always log on to

our website that's r t dot com here's a look at what's they are right now. in a russian woman accused of spying in the u.k. is forced to wait months for to her taishan hearing moscow is demanding charges are pressed or she's set free by british authorities. also a new way to get around a harsh russian winter craft that can go up to one hundred fifty kilometers per hour over almost any terrain. now former drug users in russia are pushing for the increased use of methadone to help those on heroin addiction some have even taken the use to the issue rather to the united nations and our t.

sarah ferguson went to find out why some doctors are against the use of methadone as a substitute. in russia more than two million people are addicted to legal drugs finding a way to combat this means a critical challenge my started when i was very young i was interested in anything that altered my state of mind and i don't have any principles i cheated lied install nothing was beneath me stanislav life since has been a battle against addiction but he now works to help others ava come there as his story is very similar tearing it can sky is his drug addiction destroys her life it's why she way to the u.n. calling for the implementation of an a.p. substitution program at the name and that's illegal in russia you know the harm reduction programs are now working and there is no replacement therapy program this is the reason i wrote my letter but having gone through rehab in self stands

service agrees that substitution therapy is the way forward. active drug addiction is uncontrollable substitution is still an addiction we would create a time bomb russia's rehab centers focus on finding ways to control the addiction not simply replace it. if your substitution replaces heroin with drugs such as meth the day effects last longer but they don't give the uses the high is supposed to enable us to lead a normal life without suffering withdrawals the health ministry has come under increasing pressure to sanction a substitution therapy they say that there's no scientific evidence to prove that it actually works. in reality methadone treatment is a dangerous payoff simply switching one addiction for another two would be welcome this morning i had a new patient in a hospital he was addicted to heroin for a long time and then decided to quit drugs and switched to methadone maintenance

for you to try and cure his drug addiction and so now we have injected in as a methadone drug addict stanislav an arena stories the sad ones that there are all too common internationally the war on drugs is being hard fought not everyone is winning drug addiction means a huge problem in russia as is the rising number of people that a contract. to intervene is drug. every person has the right to express his or her opinion and that's what i did my life has been broken i think any sane person can understand that addiction was not my choice i didn't want to contract hiv tuberculosis hepatitis i'm slowly dying. i mean his letter doesn't change russia's stance on substitution therapy but it does once again bring into. the very real need to find a suitable tentative their affairs at sea. and there's a growing movement in washington for the top u.s.

and nato commander in afghanistan to get a fifth star the highest rank given to past military giants like eisenhower but artie's military contributor of daddy commercial says eradicating drug trafficking hubs in afghanistan rather than self promotion should be the main priority for general petraeus. on the fourth of july general petraeus was assumed the demotion in duty and to the command of your ass and nato forces in afghanistan as the four star general of the fifth star to general patrols would also promote the image status and legitimacy of he's foes in afghanistan and in pakistan. and their pakistani and afghan associates now the third venue to take would be to ask general petrov's want to hear things about this type of recommit day sions to give him a defeat star i bet my bottom dollar this is not on his top priority least because

for general petraeus the number one priority should be and i hope it will be this year is still zero in on the real challenge in and declared war off rpm against their afghan people and its neighbors that is the real challenge in undeclared war that the u.s. congress has yet to officially endorse before considering to make the first year as general thief star commander on the theory or off operations it could be only petros whether the four star or otherwise who can really pull of this trip and i wish him well to make this mission accomplished and to get the job done. there now the u.s. would like to get a stand as a country getting off its knees but after a long spell of occupation and war corruption is taking heavy tell that

washington's promise of a brighter future and realized. repairing a broken. highway construction and humanitarian aid. officials get the spoils of war it's the people who pay the price. profiteering here is no longer just down to drug trafficking. afghanistan the dollars. now some n.g.o.s in india stand accused of putting up a front to help the needy but not giving money to those who actually need it and number of schools set up to help the poorest of the poor are allegedly turning out to be fake our current saying investigates the people in india earning a living by pretending to be a charity. welcome to the school in both eastern india the building and classrooms may look functional but classes are rarely held here. that's because it

exists only to attract foreign tourists to donate money to the school trustees. so if you think we're running a business here you're quite right this is how i feed myself by the way there are other n.g.o.s here who take money and don't even have any facilities. to be sure there's a good work you can. do this is a good way so that you start you can and maybe you can give money to. fund in the future. with india estimated to have one third of the world's poor and many foreign tourists try to donate their time and money to a good cause when they visit. marie from france wanted to work with children and contacted you luckily for her it was genuine and her money helped make a difference we. have made some donations. and.

this is. the money to make you. to pay some teacher but you can never be sure that the money you don't need here is put to good use there are four million a year and this huge number is compounded by the highly on organized nature of the nonprofit sector there is no uniform accounting policy order porting framework. there are many n.g.o.s here that run schools and government manufacturing but they only run during the tourist season but when the season ends and their activities also wind down children start going to school and then in winter when the tourist season starts again these n.g.o.s drag the children from the surrounding villages back to the schools but some groups are working towards increasing and you accountability through annual reviews and accreditation oxfam is a leading international donor and works with two hundred fifty local partners across india it conducts regular order to ensure its programs are implemented

professionally we need to push our partners really and see that you know unless you meet some minimum standards we will not fund you anymore because we are the only thing and you also have if you do look at global surveys we have the public's trust without i think many times awning it they don't give it to us because they think we are doing good work we have it we need to not only men pin it we need to grow it and if we don't move fast enough then a few scandals in the sector could really very fast with n.g.o.s in india raising over eight billion dollars in funding every year the stakes are very high the government has banned forty one in jewels from receiving foreign funds in the past few years and recently revised a nine hundred seventy six law that oversees and yours but do we see a single set of accountability procedures this will continue to lack transparency and that could hurt those most in need got and seeing r t.

now look at some other stories from around the world and major gun battle right in the center of the tunisian capital in front of the main opposition party have waters security forces struggle to restore order as police arrested dozens of people including the top presidential security chief tensions are mounting in the country after the prime minister announced that a unity government will be formed soon following weeks of chaos their living conditions and depression sparked protests which forced the president of twenty three years to flee. in love a leader of militant organization has bought has said the group will not back the government of caretaker prime minister saad off hariri this is the first statement from the group since the lebanese government collapsed last week and he accused the interim government of being u.s. nato iran and refused to state who the organization will be backing. this president says the international currency system led by the us dollar is

a product of the past jintao said steps were being taken to replace it with china's national currency but it will be some time before that is accepted and he was speaking at a visit to washington this week the u.s. often accuses china of manipulating the yuan to help boost exports. return to life from moscow and it's the prospect of so currency wars which is the subject of this week's cross peter lavelle looks at whether it's an issue that could sink the global financial recovery watch the program later today but here's a quick preview. want to see where the u.s. is going look at the model it's taking in that europe is taking latvia and iceland the problem with the mortgage market and america versus china is here it wasn't fannie mae that did it it was the massive fraud by commercial banks shame on them. on the banking system it was fraud that brought it down and nobody has been sent to

jail at all in effect of the fraudsters have been rewarded in china the banks are state banks and others are you are there is are you actually saying. you are actually saying that are you actually saying that the united states over the last ten years has been moving in the direction of free markets we've had the most incredible explosion of government spending government intervention bell outs handouts subsidies i mean this isn't neo liberalism in the classical liberal sense this is video shows it is ok do you think you're going to be rich. and lawyers in georgia say there are no longer able to work on hand or some say they are at risk of harassment from the government or even imprisonment simply for

trying to protect their clients our system barden sound accusations of a judicial system turning on its defenders. being a lawyer in georgia isn't easy these days as mahmoud knows all too well he was a successful practicing lawyer but he ses fell foul of government pressure so he found himself locked up they wanted to imprison me and they did so i spent two years and seven months behind bars in america ses he was asked to force his clients to plead guilty. when i didn't agree to cooperate they found a person detained for stealing a mobile phone and send him to my office to take me as a lawyer the prosecution then offered him a plea bargain either he sentenced to prison or testifies against me in court saying that he paid me one hundred seventy dollars for legal consultation and i swindled him it's estimated that georgia currently has around two hundred lawyers either in prison or awaiting sentencing mostly on fraud charges government critics

say the real reason they're locked up is because they refused to make deals with prosecutors i said people in those lawyers who did not do the will the theory to is the network complete bargains and instead conduct real legal defense of the clients are considered enemies of the state. the state however does not agree in his end of year statement the supreme court chairman said that justice in georgia was becoming more trusted and deservedly so. i'm sure going to be forty two percent more civil cases were brought this last year compared to two thousand and nine this data points at a greater trust of the population in the judicial system and a very small number of cases were appealed to the highest judicial authority this last year. it's not enough for erica a lawyer who quit her practice when she claims she grew fed up of the country's legal system attacking its own lawyers a mistress even if same sex has prosecutors try to influence advocacy by arresting or discriminating against those who don't cooperate eugenides are simply told not

to hire a certain lawyer under threat of having sentences i simply realized that my job became a lie. the result being that not only the lawyers lose their freedom georgians lose the chance of a fair trial lawyers in question say they just want to get on with doing their jobs but it's hard to defend your clients living in fear of being imprisoned you're so dumb bombs a nasty piece. and coming up in a few minutes a look at the ultra right parties claiming firmer political ground in europe but first here's a business news with korea. how welcome to business and our top story this hour a multi-billion dollar partnership between b.p. and ross nipped will see both exploit potentially massive oil and gas deposits and russia's arctic continental shelf the oil majors have also agreed to swap shares b.p.

will provide five percent of its stock worth around eight billion dollars xchange for nine a half percent of rosneft earlier we spoke to calls then ten seamen at the head of the national energy security fund was said that the asset swap alone makes this a hugely significant deal. in this paper we see a very serious idea so the exchange of facets of it is the way you there will be more a real project and i will serve what they call of course b.p. will be the best thing also project because really a serious investment in not only west what we need also serious you can always use and b.p. is one would believe that you were speaking about self production and of course after the story mexican gold there were a lot of critics about b.p. but you must remember the good people all these oil was more than one thousand five hundred meters that is why we need this to creeks and that is why i think that there will be some progress but you won't you there will be no real launching of

projects in i will serve all knew he was speaking about exchange of questions already of the series do you. have a look at the markets the asian bourses are down at the moment hong kong shares edged lower after a positive opening monday as mainland chinese banks developers dropped after the chinese central bank ways to reserve requirements by another percentage point writing it would bust the markets close in the red on friday evening over both horses came out strong in the first week of trade up to a long year holiday break my six gained three point four percent over the week. five percent making the most of the best performing emerging market of the easier today. versus stock markets were one of the best performers last week as well however this week investors are going to be more cautious says sales trader from citibank. there appears to be a lot of pent up demand a lot of inflows and i don't think i don't think the market is going to fall this

week it might not grow but it certainly won't fall because there certainly are there are people there with money waiting to catch the stock at good prices the oil and gas sector should continue to be interesting we raised our crude oil forecast for two thousand and eleven to ninety dollars a barrel last week it's still slightly below the futures curve but as long as as long as the world price remains a million dollars or above in the key oil me as i crossed have lukoil gazprom are able to hold their technically import level that they've surpassed last week i think we'll see continued demand in those names. that's all we have for you for now but more about the market's performance in the next hour but you can always buy most toys and a website r.t. dot com slash posts. to.
