made complaints in return for their silence that's right they had to agree not to make any statements that quote defamed disparage or in any way criticize the bank's reputation practices or conduct and the best part is still coming up to the documents read that the bar will remove and delete any online statements regarding this dispute including without limitation posting on facebook twitter and similar websites so yeah they're actually making people go through their entire social network history and scrub it of any negative comments about the of a that snarky tweet be made about what a holes bankers are going to have to go and he facebook posts yeah those are gone too this is a payoff this is a lower rate in exchange for silence past and present and you wonder why people think the banks are so evil now the state is acting asking the court to step in and tell the bars if they don't have to comply with this absurd gag order which b. of a claims is routine personally i would call it obstruction but for paying off struggling borrowers in exchange for their silence to impede a fraud investigation thank you america is once again tonight still time winner.

hi guys it's time for a happy hour and joining me this evening r.t. correspondent christine for south and comedian phaeton smith welcome back feet and we missed you as a little rowdy here yes let's start with a really horrible awful story it's just we are do out of oklahoma one lawmaker has a particular cause and he's trying to fight for. leaving it in i was able result our proposal at the state capitol we were talking about an oklahoma senator asking for a ban on fetuses used for food testing lawmaker wants to make it illegal to manufacture or knowingly sell food or other products that contain embryonic still stem cell.

is there a problem like do people normally put aborted fetuses into food and any food maker is saying that no this is never happened even the guy that brought up legislation said i don't know if it's happening in oklahoma it may be it may not be what i'm saying that if it does happen then we're not going to allow it to manufacture here i think the point is this is bringing a lot of questions everybody wonder what do you what do you talk about i have a lot of questions i actually wrote them down here we go what company is saving money by making selling aborted foetuses all right i mean what is aborted foetuses actually replacing it like a short replacement. going with it i mean if you see how many of the mass producing baby fetuses i think they are mass producing that are they locally grown or is this like of coming from china and if that is how they are they are they are there in the up reserves in my love my baby fetuses or or another question are they are freeways. becoming so i want to have some proper i don't want to suffer baby feed. you really. like a prayer for it always will be

a church and like learning right now like a flirt we could do that this is how i would drink this water and i. will say i was just going to say i think this is an attempt at somebody that's very conservative and very pro-life agenda anti stem cell agenda who wants to get people talking about i want to get people grossed out about it people who don't think about. the issue of abortion he wants to get them disgusted by it but that's a little more so i guess i'm getting really really never say whether you know. the smaller government republicans are right you know this is happy hour this is exactly how you do you want to be anybody's what is the legislating on things that are not issues and so raise up all these stupid questions that are stupid but i want to say i want to smaller government where baby fetuses are legal how about that i'm a republican i let's move on is moving on and. take a look at this story he wants his job back i was totally on the. dancefloor says he was responding to a call for backup back in two thousand and eight when this porn actress in her crew

approached him and asked him to engage in lewd acts with her. all right so the guy got approached by a foreign sorry felt while on duty do you think you should get a job i think you should get a job back he wasn't in the whore and he didn't take his clothes off she asked him to spank him a couple times he said his job here service i know he served more than twenty years it's hard to find good traffic cops in any city in america i'm completely for him keep his job also because i'm more used to the more i'm not getting tickets that say all right and b. you know it's funny this would never work a reverse like this is only to work with a male like a meter maid i could be a big muscular do some way which taught me johnson that video would never exist and that said to me so you think if it was a woman that was asked to be in a porn with a man that she would be it women always say no this is like i'm going to she said yes you see that is how you see radically your own life just like you know when the stranger walk i know. to touch that one of the bigger flaws that god put in you

know what i mean no offense i think women are equal and all that but god if you will just say yes a little bit more can we move on you know outward i usually i just want to let you know that i'm drinking this has been on the senate floor in kentucky but basically they were they were debating some bill about the local aquaria so they had a little visitor from the local aquarium was a cute little thing when this happened. just because he did on the floor over there i. guess is that the being on your job going to actually say i believe that your desk. this is why you don't bring penguins into the state house i think it was great that they brought the penguin i got all these what seems to me very stiff kentucky legislators laughing about something they can have somebody clean up the penguin poop i'm sure it's. completely against bringing any animal into i mean they couldn't they could have a picture couldn't believe i was going to make the same factors a cute adorable penguin is a very attractive oh if you see the penguin sitting there i'm afraid of this

because i know disney movies are messed me up and we think a lot of animals are cute i don't know what the dangers are penguins but i do want to find that out. i thought a moment when a very personal relations off all right everybody everybody i talk appliances are from from a pop up so now front of the most dangerous things in the world what with the pain when we're crazy playing when there was a death all right you can talk you know the wrong tool can tell me what you would be controlled by people and they could get you to leave your their main book we don't. have on this feet further by penguin in the kentucky state legislature that was talking about that as well that you may very well read this story this story is so messed up so this kid is in ninth grade sees a substitute taking a nap when he's supposed to be teaching the class or takes a picture of the substitute taking a nap with a cell phone and he shows it to the principal and then the kid gets suspended and this is their reasoning. but the use of a telecommunication device is not permitted during the school day angry with that policy yeah but maybe that was the only way to prove that the teacher was actually

sleeping you teacher was sleeping then maybe the school system needs to do this to get that. i agree i mean seriously being on the job but it's the kid that gets in trouble but i guess that's why i haven't snarks that's what we're seeing on the ari i think it's outrageous the kid should be a hero the kid should be congratulating congratulated for trying to make his school system better of course if he's taking pictures of the teachers sleeping he's not going to be learning you think the other students feel that way they're like dude we didn't have to do anything because the substitute was a sleeve and you had to go and really i think we're missing the bigger issue here to teacher no one who's learning anyway right it was an off day for everybody a teacher was sleeping just like the rest the class should have a sleeping kid should be several a lot of people who want jobs as substitute teachers who are very qualified former teachers laid off they should be allowed to be in the classrooms not people sleeping yes and there's a lot of students who wants to teacher so they can do nothing and this kid is really everything he says where he just lets also think about the bigger picture we

need are starting to feel learning what to do right if the teacher either leaves them a lesson plan or tells them like here's a movie pop into the tape that you're ok i want to lead the way in a very contention tell me a great substitute teacher story where they set you down and taught you that one life lesson that you learned no life lesson but i had plenty of substitute teachers who actually taught me the lesson that the teacher would have taught that day really yes i never will substitute but it was never the less of the day is always like that we was all like you do drugs so that's a lesson i got behind your kid never yet been with a better school with god are you guys going to have a thank you for joining me this evening that separate night so thanks for tuning in ad make sure they come back tomorrow and read as if the reason is going to be on the show to talk about the latest unemployment numbers and also to have a little fun and happy hour now the time to forget the phantom launched on facebook you can follow us on twitter if there's anything ever miss can catch you tube dot com last feel are still coming up next.

please please please. please .

just. the sound.

of the. i i i i i arm syrian opposition fighters tighten control the damascus just fifteen minutes from the center now as the u.n. prepares closed door talks on how to end the conflict. crowds are taking their anger for the top in poland as people gather outside the presidential palace to protest the online anti-piracy pact which threatens regular internet use in. libya's new leaders face accusations of torture of doctors without borders pulled out of a key city saying the same patients keep returning with new interrogation injuries .

live from moscow it's now you're watching r t with me kevin zero in for a good company our top story syrian opposition fighters are encroaching towards the capital of an already to seize control of a town on the outskirts some suburbs and deeds of seen nearly two dozen killed in the past two days and buildings heavily shelled a correspondent sara first was there. when we got there we were met by the free syrian army now have control of the area and they showed us around they took us into the center there was absolutely massive anti-government demonstration going on there's a funeral procession going on at the same time as well so we were able to speak to the people who were living in this area to speak to some of the free syrian army members as well because of course very little is known about who exactly these

people are really have made it very very clear to us just how divided the country is now becoming whilst we were that it was sort of a moment of confusion we did hear gunshots in the background some of the crowd got nervous and started running which for we we were all sort of told to it was it was safer to leave and we then left that area a very tense situation certainly a very dangerous situation for the civilians in this area as well you gave these suburbs you can see bullet holes in the walls it's not really clare and so much of the culture of who exactly has control of the fact that this is now happening in a suburb just fifteen minutes will say from the city center here in damascus where he goes to show you just how much the situation here is now deteriorating or russia has made its position extremely clear that they're not going to back the western resolution was it doesn't rule out the sanctions the military intervention they've put their own proposal forward and you've had this sort of back and forth with

neither sides really being able to come to some form of agreement i mean the big sticking point here really is the military intervention people so many different factions in the country it is even more still here in the country very very hard to really understand who exactly is in charge where and who has the voice of the people because this is a originally a peaceful protest movement even now got increasingly armed opposition groups and there's reports today that saudi arabia that could tar have said that they're going to be backing up. is ition in providing funding and arms as well and the last thing that anyone wants to see here at the moment is that this conflict to become even more armed even more violent because the daily death toll is you know just devastatingly high at the moment talking to the people in this suburb today they were extremely emotional you know the people here in this country have lost all sense of safety all sense of security so first reporting their first post gives

more insight from middle east blogger koshary who's joining us from. they are oblique repeatedly called on president assad to step down how much is this call influenced by countries like qatar and saudi arabia right now. i think it's stemming mainly from those countries i mean really looking honest to asian what about three quarters of the arab league members are on the side that's calling for assad to step down but obviously i don't think it's helpful at the moment not because of the assad has any legitimacy but i think the sort of blundering intervention that the arab league is leading and we saw that recently with the sound of the monitors is actually confusing this to asian in syria further and further and it's kind of raising the hopes of the syrian people and then letting them crush down so i think in fact what needs to be done is for all external actors to step away from this conflict and allow the dynamic of what really the syrian

people want to emerge there just kind of oil on the fire at the moment you know we saw a graphic in her graphic there from how it is affecting the everyday people in syria as this drags on for over a year now the fear that they're going through every day and the latest reports say that more than fifty people have been killed in just the last two days of bloody term or they're the opposition forces blaming the loyalist forces whatever but yet the free syrian army are taking armed control of parts of the capital that can't be denied why there's the west seem to be turning a blind eye to what is not appearing to be at all a peaceful opposition. well to be honest let's put this in a bit of a context because as your report said very clearly that this started as a series of peaceful demonstrations and the taking of the arms at the moment has to be conceived as a form of self-defense however i think where the western angle comes in is where

mothers the issue is because you quite clear that the west is only trying to kind of stablish some sort of moral credibility out of this claim the moral high ground and be very vocal and in ways kind of hint at certain interventions without actually having any clear plan and thus is ending up problematize in this situation even further so for example on one hand it could be giving signals to some syrian opposition groups that if they actually continue in a certain direction that that will be supported while actually it doesn't seem at all that the west knows what it wants to do or what is the policy that it wants to dr words syria so again very muddled thinking about syria making the situation on the ground showing us that much much more complicated you say a bit earlier call about the main actors in this calling and getting away from center stage pulling back a bit could take a breath of course there's another school of thought because of the growing number

of deaths. fueling calls for some sort of foreign intervention in sanctions two year. sorry i just missed that last part i was going to say there's another school of thought saying as the deaths continue these actors should get more involved there should be more foreign sanctions or should be more intervention. yes i'm aware of this increasingly with you been seeing been hearing mostly foreign policy experts in the west and particularly in the states calling for this particularly from the notion that there is a duty to protect but i find this really really a problematic notion and if you look at the history of intervention of the west and particularly the united states in the area in the area in the past twenty years it's only created more problems the problem is this kind of trying to dress it up as a humanitarian intervention there are no clear outcomes there are no clear targets there are no kind of strategies for choosing who you allow yourself with all of

that at the same time stifles the development of. whatever genuine opposition in syria could develop to create an alternative for the future because the parties that are going to be favored by the west will ultimately kind of have better sponsorship or better support so i think the west should learn from its mistakes and kind of abandon this misplaced notion that it's their responsibility to sort out the situation in syria and go back to first principles and leave it to the syrians themselves thanks ever so much for your thoughts it's appreciated culture the mideast blogger thanks for joining us on the line from london. thank the. polish protesters are gathering in front of a presidential palace in warsaw wrist part of a week of rallies after the government signed up to a tourist international web piracy pact earlier a page they told the anonymous hacker groups masks to show their content on his leg

here is jeff ski following what's happening for said war so they are here to protest protest against act the anti cons of the trade agreement which poland signed on thursday along with twenty one other european union member states and it is here in poland in fact the only country in the e.u. where protests have been having very strong movement here in fact tens of thousands of people have been protesting over the past three or four days everywhere across poland we went to a little town of lubin thursday and even there where the population is roughly exceeds one hundred thousand people almost three through three or four thousand people hit the streets in protest against act clearly people in poland are unhappy with the fact that their government signed this document they believe that it would be used against regular internet users to police the web to block websites for harmless actions and their message to only the clear message that these people are

having here in the crowd is no internet censorship it's twenty one even member states which signed for it the document will become effective in all the countries once their parliaments ratified and the european parliament says that i'm seeing something this these people here are hoping for because even the polish authorities have now taken a step back and they say that they're if occasion will not necessarily happen as it had been predicted by many experts and the european in fact there's been a scandal in the european parliament already with a french deputy in the european parliament already resigning because of actors essentially act is about protecting intellectual property from music and books to different designer clothes and pharmaceuticals but the people here protesting in poland they. are afraid that big corporations would be able to close down websites for let's say harmless links to videos or t.v. shows or movies or something which most of the users do on every day basis so they think that this document will be misused by big corporations and by the authorities

and the whole already have been several examples of that this document act has a striking resemblance to this so to a bill in the united states so clearly the warsaw protests are the only ones in europe so far but we could be seeing more more rallies and more protest actions across europe as the parliament's face the rich a vacation of actor in the nearest several weeks lecture is just eastern europe correspondent now a few minutes from now on the program tonight the euro undergoes financial forensics in switzerland. alps at the davos world economic forum to try to sort out the highs and lows of the global economy deeply in trouble and the future of the eurozone we'll have more coming up yes i can tell not a word we missed later libya's new government is being accused of torture and abuse in detention centers from cheers suspending its mission right now in misrata saying it's repeatedly treating patients for injuries sustained during interrogation with

thousands of gadhafi loyalist still behind bars raising questions about the people need to help bring the power goes out to explain. doctors without borders known for going do their job in the most dangerous and notorious places around the globe but in n.t.s.c. run libya the group has encountered a formidable obstacle they couldn't overcome burns through electric shocks and cigarettes heavy bruising and renal failure all this evidence of the continue to churn of prisoners say the doctors and now after two inmates died from beatings the international group has stopped its mission in protest. patients were brought to us in the middle of interrogation for medical care in order to make them fit for further interrogation this is an acceptable our rule is to provide medical care to war casualties and sick detainees not to repeatedly treat the same patients between torture sessions the news comes amidst rising anger with libya's interim government

demonstrations in benghazi last week ended with the resignation of a high ranking member of the m.t.c. in the former gadhafi stronghold of bani walid locals pushed out their traditional council forces claiming systematic abuse it started with the very beginning of the rebellion very beginning of the insurrection the second day of the rebellion eighteenth of february so the african migrants were rounded up locked in a detention center and burnt to death and the n.p.c. expressed support for this time and this is part of the strategy of the west you know divide and rule and that was given the green light of the torture and execution that we're seeing now so this is a recipe for civil war meanwhile the nato operation that brought the empty seat of power is by itself raising questions. and high profile international team of human rights activists has been to leave here to investigate

some of may two that it presented to of where with their evolution in the fronds. and there were guiding the air raids and they addicting them and court have been raping them if you are mandated. that. it is very very accurate in a way that i myself saw the killing of so many people in front of me my eyes i saw the killing of fifty one people in front of my eyes was fifteen years old and while all sides in the libyan conflict are to blame for violence and violations the human rights activists claim not all of them have been held responsible for their wrongdoings investigating what happened during libya's seven months civil war and the nato campaign to protect civilians this fact the mission discovered again

crimes against humanity but the goal was not to judge but to shed light on what happened and not to repeat the mistakes in recent united nations report has revealed that up to eight thousand supporters have been held by militia groups in libya right now and with numerous accuse ations of torture and revenge killings throughout the country hopes of a new beginning for libya are fading quickly. r.t. . but we're keeping an eye on developments around libya without many other stories the if you like these tonight russia's political playing field the elections boss refuting claims of parliamentary poll while ations while the short list has been announced as who's running for president you keep across all the developments in the politics section mentality the home run up to mark. and make sure gives no. back of a night for a beautiful aurora borealis there you sit back enjoy the show with the most spectacular northern lights displays in a long time it was all because of

a sudden burst of the week a look at the result of it more pictures of two parties you tube channel two. but there were good. money on the table today at the world economic forum as they discussed the euro the dollar that you are struggling eurozone and the future of greece was inevitable also and with cautious optimism sharp criticism alike. heard from a number by nancy ministers and also from vice president of the economic and monetary affairs for the european commission we heard them all speak today in a panel and an optimistic note that they believe that things will be resolved now many people would disagree with that but as far as the people on stage. and was confident that the greek bondholders will come to an agreement on greek debt write downs and haircuts this weekend that's kind of what made the major headlines and

also believing that the fiscal compact the tighter fiscal compact for the eurozone will come together and a meeting on monday and that would impose of course fines for people that are countries rather break the deficit and debt ceiling rules we saw today that spain their unemployment rate came out a seventeen year high of twenty two point eight five percent the finance minister from spain says that this is the biggest issue facing the spanish economy and we know spain is one of the largest economies in europe also a lot of disagreement over euro zone solutions we've seen george soros we've seen david cameron we've seen some finance ministers to timothy geithner say a larger fire wall is needed basically saying more bailout funds need to be committed from angela merkel's remarks we heard earlier this week she was trying to convince people that europe would be fine without pledging more money timothy geitner we did hear from today the u.s. treasury secretary i thought was pretty interesting he said that the two biggest issues facing the u.s. economy that will determine its outcome or what.
