but it is the sixteenth will be out of prize predecessor a special ceremony i suppose it's the last form of it for a possible saint. millions watched the new royal couple of the north of london but there are a few dozen new were unlikely to call the ceremony on t.v. that's because they're the people that were arrested by police across britain to stop causing any trouble during the wedding but four of my five intelligence officers on the russian told me the approach was far too. they have to take measures to protect the event from any such terrorist groups particularly irish republican dissidents or middle eastern terrorist groups and i don't think anyone complains about that the fact that they're trying to stop and did stop protestors x. right exercising their right to freedom of expression around the royal wedding is of much greater concern because the police are talking about snap squads and jewelry and there's the sort of measures that are indeed used in countries like syria but

we used against u.k. protest including notably leading peace activists charlie reached out yesterday as a preventive measure and is apparently just disappeared into the actual complete system his family his girlfriend can't trace him they're being blocked tonight by the police even his lawyers can't find him so he seems to have sort of disappeared in a rather catheter esque way and i think it's dangerous dangerous path to go down because this man hasn't done anything he might even suspect you might want to protest but you haven't done anything so effectively what we're looking at is an already in thought crime within what is a notional u.k. democracy. now is not so much surely flowing from the land of opportunity these days of the stilling of the lands of the same wealthy few german story half of this is in new york for us to ask people why. economy continues to cause a lot of people a lot of difficulties and yet the rich keep getting richer are you ok with that
12:18 pm
this week let's talk about that well i mean we have to talk about what is actually defined rich i mean for people to say that families making two hundred fifty k. a year combined being rich as some people define rich is completely absurd of sort of lower middle class although we don't see it there's a lot of work they have to do you don't get rich overnight you think do you know people on wall street are working harder than you are no i don't but i think they might be working smarter. so do they deserve money for that yet millions of dollars of your taxpayer dollars but i don't know that it's my taxpayer dollars well they got. bailed out and i got millions and millions of dollars and disagree i disagree with the bailout completely they knew that they were betting against swarms of homes being foreclosed on and mortgages were kind of bomb and people started losing their homes is that still ok people who can afford it i have homes so you think it's their responsibility i don't think they should have read the fine print when
