clean up a lot of the hole yet most egyptians believe the main problem is not the mess which follows the protests but the absence of jobs which turns many desperate people into looters it was the country's flailing economy which forced thousands out into here square in the first place their first slogan that was here in the areas where was the word bread because it was. it was actually getting ugly people were killing each other in the line while it was hope their allusion would turn all of that around bringing more jobs to people and food on their tables but as things stand now more than a year after the uprising even those who did have a livelihood are now struggling to stay afloat even if i was quite see cairo. while he's on line when he wanted a dot com here's what we've got there for you right now is another violent crackdown on occupy protesters headquarters in miami and security forces stormed an

punishment. they can make these claims and go on with this fear mongering as they have been as much as they want but they're entirely baseless and we know that they're baseless because we know for fact that the government conducted a number of internal impact assessments that found that the wiki leaks materials did not pose any threat to our national security that our troops were never put in harm's way it reminds me of growing up in school going to civics class you know you learn these basic concepts you know trial turns to perceived punishment you know that these are basic foundational concepts of you know western law and justice and that's been completely thrown out the window in this case and that's a clear violation of his eighth amendment rights that's a clear violation of articles one in sixteen of the un convention against torture that's a treaty that has been ratified by congress in accordance with the constitution and

these really aren't optional standards these are basic rules of the road that the administration needs to play by and if they're not able to do that then they're not qualified to govern. for a second look at what else is making news around the world the sound. survivors and relatives of the victims from tuesday's swiss bus crash have returned to brussels family members spent thursday identifying their loved ones who died with a cage to toward inside the tunnel killing twenty eight people missing children one of the young survivors who want to see trying to change the deed just before the crash of this mystical three. hundred is prime minister has attacked european union addresses for most of the thousands who pass you kings brussels of colonialism disrespecting his country's sovereignty interfering in its domestic affairs he was concerned of the changes to hungary norwich and some is

3:18 am
jewels. from its beginnings as an outpost of the fledgling russian empire you could tear and burke has grown up as a city which exploited the mineral wealth of the ural mountains it's gone on developing on that line throughout its history and it's those themes the exploitation of the region's rich mineral wealth which i've been examining in my reports the fairy tale mistress of copper mountain it tells of the mysteries of the legendary greenstone malakar it hidden in russia's ural mountains but now a kite it's not some room this looks like a pile of rather dull mountain rocks but step over here and when we have water we can see something of these rocks natural beauty these are the stones of feel the legends and fairy tales of the urals and they also feed the still hands of local craft these men are cutting and clinching precious stones
3:19 am
and cheap among the treasures the most famous greenstone of them all and will. fifty cent should be large one hundred percent translucent with the main properties being color quality and weight is also depends how often the precious stone is found in nature. and most of them will find their way into jewelry and display pieces but as synonymous as the stones seem with the urals the vast majority don't even come from russia just no one person locally developed precious stones here it's very sad and i even feel sort of mean because a jewelry business is built around the stone it's not with the urals assured of these gems quite the opposite in fact precious stones were so easy to find while the cottage industry grew up here around them and nobody bothered to invest much and surveying what deposits exist let alone extracting them and once metals would
3:20 am
have scaled up such as per william which is used in military applications little was thought of destroying the emeralds in which it's normally found. there are still thought to be enormous deposits of emeralds and other precious stones within the euro's and no matter where they come from the region still has craftsman that spend their working lives creating masterpieces from who knows maybe one day if the mistress of copper mountain allows it these marvels in stone could be made from the heart of the country they represent we're going to discuss a little bit more about yucca terran burke's past and its development as the capital of the urals is maxine how mccall he is vice rector here at the ural federal university. if we start off back in the past the discovery of the huge mineral wealth that there is around here perhaps you could talk us through the development of the city from its early origins right well see the history of
3:21 am
mining here and into motion here goes down to the late seventeenth early eighteenth century and we can track it up to the neighbors family one of the most to reach people here in russia and they built a lot of factories here you know not only in the uk it's a number wasn't originally then in thirty's you're in the soviet or through in the it involves a trades it's a lot of heavy engineering tractor is you know so this was it stalin's industrialisation so we take that up too if we call it the region's moments of crisis really after the fall of the soviet union in the ninety's and the region i think it's probably fair to say found itself a bit lost right well of course when you have so many you know factories
3:22 am
and then you know the whole economy collapsed you know see the city was into crisis and then the whole region was in a crisis it's actually even the war not to well it would be a shallow sea criminal kev it's all prostrate this time for the moment i think straight that you'll raise a stage a small business is working quite well thank you so much simpler mccall from the university here you can turn burke has a city that's never been afraid to push business opportunities where they come from the ural mountains or from all that the shopping malls that are springing up here and it's that future that will be looking at the development of a turn burg in the decades to come. but we have more from the year olds to come later today and sets out to explore another major hub.
3:23 am
3:24 am
sorts of mixed reviews at the moment because we've got david cameron on one hand the u.k. prime minister saying that now is the time because prices are so high to start tipping into reserves he said him and the us president barack obama got an agreement to say that they're going to do this but we've recently had a quote from an obama officials saying this isn't the case and it's not in the cards right now so let's check out the prices and let's just see how high they really are. there we are as you can see you're looking at a lot of money. and it's cause you all kinds of problems i mean we've also had a quote from a key economist he's otherwise known as doc to do but his real name is mr rubin and he says that this is the real threat to the global economy if we see another hike we could be in trouble so right now for this if we are really keeping an eye on it because it's going to be the real indicator as to everything else with the global
3:25 am
economy the u.s. has been doing well recently it's all prices remain high this could change moving i'm going to see how i got on the small and they are indeed trading japan that finished off not so well as you can see is some red colors on your screen right there and that's because the yen has actually strengthened exporters have been really well this week because of a weaker yen but now as you can see they finished up just a tad lower china they're still going straight as you can see there about a quarter percent in negative territory now the russian markets they opened over an hour ago actually and it's a mixed picture is pretty for lack really and that's despite those high oil prices as we look at the stocks to see how they're performing. well that better today. very disappointing day yesterday out and they would be selling eight percent of their shares to the public investors were put off by that but as you can see
3:26 am
they've managed to come back in positive territory. in the right despite all prices carter says if we look at the ruble we can see that. just a fraction higher and that's ahead of us inflation and industrial production that's due out today we could be seeing how that gets on the table that is high as well against a group of. gold this is an interesting one because it's at its least bullish two months prices have to raise more than heart of this year's value as you can see is that is just now as far as you can see. all the disappointing but it was particularly high this is apparently because of the strengthening u.s. economy as far as the gold market is concerned i want quantity of easing they want but i think it's a signal that so that's a big also because the u.s. market is doing better means that risk appetite improves and therefore money is going into other sectors now that's how the markets but the small and i always think people on the street sleeping overnight across the globe i'm talking sick of
3:27 am
sydney paris or kinds of places why they want an i pad it's the third generation that they want and as you can see they're going absolutely bonanno so are now probably this one in particular part it has a better screen according to apple the cameras it's not involved as a revolutionary product like the earlier versions of it how does it start the very days that come up and i can tell you that the act was stalled or an all time high the most valuable company and they dumped pulte five percent this year alone and partly that's because a lot of court broke blue chip companies a little following them for their stuff some of us i can't us talk about it so it's not about fifty five minutes.
