a lot of people from the political spectrum left and right and now you stay over zisha and like to be in ten minutes but really this is about the general public having the voice and voicing discontent this is a protest illustration is going to be replicated around other cities in russia and . the how the demonstrations taking place earlier this week as well for what causes days protest well there was dispute about where this will take place a reschedule for outside prashad very loosely revolution square just next to the kremlin then changed to a lot nicer square this is going to a much greater capacity really the police are stressed but those people can walk in between these two areas they can't demonstrate a whole route and they say that would be breaking the law if they do so promise of enemy said that these people are more the world could to express their opinions and discontent they must do so in accordance with the law is also hoped there will be no foreign intervention when it comes to these domestic political matters how we're

all going to see for the heavy police presence and monitoring the situation of course this protest scheduled to take place between two and six pm today president has earlier in the week try to alleviate some of the concerns of these protesters who are alleging on the fair elections and bias in those elections by saying that any electoral fraud will be investigated thoroughly. as you said a lot of people are going to be gathering there later in the afternoon but at this point i like to ask our questions what we know at this stage about the new look of the parliament. or just last night we had the official results announced this shows united russia getting two hundred thirty eight seeks as of a job but it's not the calls to show we're shortly they saw before this election and there has been surges when it comes some of the opposition of congress party you know it's to send seeks fair russia they've increased their stranglehold vastly

there beforehand they're seen as an outsider party now the third largest faction in the duma there's going to be problems for you know it's russia in the future parliamentary session based on these results they could face problems passing future legislation key constitutional. you need one hundred fifty seats when it comes to opposition members to block that they now possess two hundred of the so if they cannot so gather it may be a big if but if they can act together they have the power to block close to sure for. ok take a recess very much indeed for keeping us up to date and we're also keeping a close on developments in the russian capital on our web site r.t. dot com so you can go online for the latest updates and video feed on the post-election protests also at r.t. dot com you'll find analysis of the latest news and scandals that followed the election and for all the videos of the demonstrations you can log on to our you tube channel.

more news today violence is once again flared up. in these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. trying to corporations rule the day. on the way here in our peaceful squatter targeted by police. there's nearly a million buildings in there in the u.k. and people freeze to death every window would counter that with. we talked to some into corporate protesters in london and why the law has branded them terrorists. and demonstrating for a cause why rallies across the world are taking place for the release of a live prisoner who supporters say is nothing but a political prisoner the u.s.

. the final score of brussels was twenty six to one and one of europe's most important political matches for decades britain was the odd one out as all the other e.u. states agreed a new pact designed to stabilize the euro an attempt to solve the debt crisis british prime minister veto the tams to change e.u. treaties over fear is this country's national sovereignty and financial sector will be harmed but the rest of the e.u. states will now work towards impact bridget's fiscal and budgetary controls and punishments for the expanders the new deal should be ready by march of british and he called the whole thing you should set struggling states free instead of trying to more tying them to more staring. we have a really complex the whole lot of the germans merkel probably feels pretty good because she hasn't given too much. david cameron maybe you will you know the fact

that he's rejected the rest of europe might help him politically but we're still a long way from solving the euro skeptics vision and predictions are basically come true the project does not work. then to corporate office by a movement that flared up in the u.s. three months ago has spread across the globe in the british capital protesters are growing in numbers while claiming commitment to nonviolence but the authorities may not make the same commitment as over ban it now reports. tense dreadlocks even didgeridoos but all the occupy london protesters really terrorists the city's police force seems to think so it sent a letter to banks and businesses in the financial district warning of the terror threat posed by occupy activists it puts them in the same bracket as al qaeda well i'd say to anybody who believes it to come come here and have a look for themselves and see that we are totally peaceful protest it's preposterous to say that the backlash of criticisms force the police to admit its

wording was too strong but it stands by its warning to big businesses to remain vigilant issuing this statement we've seen crime linked to protests in recent weeks to be around groups entering office buildings and with that in mind we continue to brief key trusted partners on activity linked to protest this is the building in question occupies so-called bank of ideas activists moved in here nearly three weeks ago he had been empty for months the apparent terrorists now use it for meetings and lectures on how to solve the current crisis they can even count celebrity backers and politicians amongst their guests at a huge number of people want to see a different kind of economic system that's what people here stand for and i want to come and lend solidarity to that the u.k. is complicated laws on squatting mean the owners still haven't been able to vic their new uninvited tenants since the building wasn't in use the activists don't

see why they should leave is a fair point private property. is it fair that there's nearly a million buildings empty out there in the u.k. and people freeze to death every winter i would counter that with this so far this is the only building process does have occupied they belong c.b.s. it was empty before it was taken over as the swiss banks the conviction order for this building beefing up security at its main offices just across the street as they fear the protesters could spread to both u.b.s. and the for. and anshul services or thora he refused to comment but they clearly heeding police advice security is tight in the money district. a small group of people recently stormed the offices of a mining company during a national strike they claim to be part of the occupy movement those here though deny any links but that hasn't stopped police tarring them with the same brush it's just unfortunate that some people actually have done that and it's causing police attention and it's going to label us as people will we will get

a few bad and it's going in here and in any organisation and they've said well that they're all like human on main it's just not true the original occupy camp hopes to keep its protest peaceful evicting anyone using its name as an excuse for violence they might not be al-qaeda but any minority prepared to step the wrong side of the law could play straight into police hands either bennett r.t. london. demonstrations have been held in cities worldwide calling for the release of one of america's most famous prisoners lumia was incarcerated thirty years ago for killing a wife police officer a crime he still denies the convict was on death row until this week when a court commuted the sentence to life in prison his supporters claim the former black panther movement member is an innocent political prisoner activist mike far all says average amal deserves a fair trial which he apparently never got. it is like many

other cases in the united states a case where race entered into the prosecution where there are serious questions about the not only the efficacy but the effectiveness and fairness of the trial the elimination of the death penalty in this case it's really only one step and i hope it doesn't mean that he's going to be consigned to a life without parole and everybody's going to walk away and say ok we won because in fact justice has not been served in this case it's on the record now that the judge was biased racially biased it's on the record that the. police corruption in the in the philadelphia police force involved the suborning of perjury and the actual extortion to get witnesses to perjure themselves this trial was corrupt from the beginning and that's why amnesty and human rights watch and so many other organizations say justice must be done and say that you've got to start with

there's no doubt we live in a consumerist world are you sick of it this week let's talk about that it's christmas time. i think it's normal. to to buy something why is it normal to buy so much more stuff just because it's jesus's birthday. good question there's no thanksgiving it's black friday so i think that sort of a real cultural shift you know what does it say about us as a culture that when we're so obsessed with buying stuff. that we need to get a life i think it's because the human nature has a longing for something and they've decided to fill it with things instead of a spiritual focus to those things get in the way of our spiritual quest i absolutely believe so because i think distraction is one of the keys to getting humanity off focus it is it's an important anymore so you have it you feel good

and and that you are looking for something else yet and then you feel bad because you bought something that you didn't mean yeah this is happened way before you were born that's how it is yeah times with additional money was made it was made to train it's just the volume was traced with the thought the miner was. buying trading making selling is the way to make a living so we're prehistoric caves covered in neon lights with logos plastered all around us they are right now around us but the technology was available you thought sure would be i believe in recycling i believe in you know not consumerism but go to your local salvation army exchange what does it say about our culture that we are so disposable. that we are exactly that and we're looking at life in a really shallow way how do you think history is going to remember this to how i am and age as consumers i'm going to be a part of that yes no look it's very wasteful because i'm i live in france and my

family is very careful with their money my family and. they think twice about buying stuff so i listen to them it does make me more careful but i'm afraid i'm consumed with. your job in the time that i've been it's. whether or not your sick of the pressure of our consumerist culture the bottom line is when it comes to buying stuff you don't need maybe it's best to just say no. on just a few moments weeks for the link between music and violence in our special report before it's out there we tell our top stories. all.

i completely controlled for many years in the soviet system has faded away in less than twenty four hours as bell of s.k. a push up coupled with below we acted in a true russian style we didn't know exactly what the future would bring that to think about later three leaders come together and sign an agreement dissolving the u.s.s.r. for good to get rid of the so called big brother that was always controlling them was the dream of many republics work. but in the eyes of the people they put it

like this i will liberate you from the kremlin oppression no one wants to take the blame but we would not be able to persuade gorbachev and besides he's more it could not be relied upon. he could tell you anything and do something completely different question for you might show up for maine to liberal and in the sand boris yeltsin or i should have that was my mistake. this is the decisive in strict boris yeltsin that sets in the kremlin instead of good stuff about time. again. i don't think we have left elevator forest so easily. decades have passed but the discussion still agency was this applause for a fait accompli. twenty years ago the largest country in the world. to places of.
