heading off line and into the streets the anonymous hacktivist group calls on us citizens to organize mass protest against supporters of the new data gathering act heading for the senate. spain's economic pulse flatlines on staggering you want to clone figures public dissent is strong and well practiced with the law. also reporting that ukraine's prime minister's new tax evasion trial is postponed till late may due to a shake of fails to attend the hearing after claiming she was beaten by prison guards. with a twenty four hours a day live from moscow this is the outrage from internet users that the new u.s.

cyber security act called cispa may soon spill onto the street the hacker group anonymous is responding to the bill by launching what it's calling operation defends phase two. upon the citizens of the united states to physically protest over the coming two months a number of protests will be held to croydon companies that support the bill passed through the house of representatives on friday and is now on its way to the senate president obama has threatened to veto the measure citing privacy concerns it may do all of the act will permit u.s. based internet companies to legally share private user information with the american government journalist david seaman explains what he believes that they just behind it. they're going after people before they've even committed anything that's illegal. in the case the adage that a moment where they added that now they can do this to protect children to protect minors this could be something is very good as you know somebody who is seventeen years old if you have

a cousin and he or she is seventeen. that's enough for the government to read through all of your e-mails potentially all of your facebook messages every website you visit and do all of these things without telling you and b. without obtaining a warrant or getting any kind of court involvement before hand they can just go on this fishing expedition and see everything you've ever done online and then take it from there it's just profoundly scary i don't have a problem with spying on bad guys i have a problem on spying on people who done nothing wrong and doing it in the name of protecting children and protecting us from cyber security threats that i'm not convinced are even real there are already a lot of mechanisms for the government to see what bad actors are up to online this is just a gross invasion of the everyday person's privacy and for why i don't understand what the tradeoff is here i don't understand what we gain as individuals in exchange for giving the government this free pass look through all of our activities. from the online magazine spying to believes spear is

a blatant violation of the first amendment of the us constitution. can anyone actually name a significant act of cyber terrorism that has happened in the west ever know because it never has done it's an imagined threat and it's an imagined threat which now threatens our freedom online i don't think this is about internet security i think it's about national security generally i think this act is more likely to be used to control and monitor efforts to organize terrorist attacks offline now the danger with that is that in america specifically we've recently had arrests of individuals for encouraging. sympathies now that used to not be possible in the american legal system because of the first amendment because of these recent cases there's a radical reinterpretation under way of the first amendment and more broadly free speech is position in american society so i don't think we should be concerned about those that small minority can you know try and shut down master card for

another half an hour we should be concerned about the americans the american government will drive to control not just our freedom online but our freedom to publish ideas more widely but of course who is going to get you all these allow stories r.t. dot com is asking how far you think the legislation will get let's have a look at the results of full screen the so far more than forty percent of you think it will become law but only after the presidential election a little of both believe it will spread its influence beyond the u.s. as other countries adopt similar laws the rest are almost equally divided as we can see there between think you will veto this bill after the senate vote or that the toned down version will take effect log on to our tea dot com to cast your vote. so you can make an informed choice we've compiled an extensive background on the system for you how it differs from previous cybersecurity act to support it and why you can learn all of that online also there tim kirby has

a unique take on the issue. good leverage or two mccurry was able to build its most sophisticated. fortunately dorna found any. mission to teach creation and why it should care about humans and . this is why you should care only. spain is now in a crisis of enormous magnitude with unemployment being twenty five percent above that of even nigeria the government submission however is see nearly as reality one felt by millions of spaniards taking to the streets in protest but a report with so many out of work tolerance for dissent is. spanish police forcibly arresting a student whose main crime filming what he interpreted to be police brutality.

by oh if i mean the police as usual stopped a family of immigrants began to beat in one thousand year old woman i took my cell phone and started to film it is an action but he paid for them and i thought on them what they mean you know i was threatened with death beaten and locked up in a cell i was out of touch for thirty nine hours i was told i wouldn't be sent to prison for three years even if you know cases of offices allegedly abusing their powers on the ranis for a long time such scenes have remained relatively unknown but now the spate of mass demonstrations gripping spain bringing officers actions to the forefront this crowd does not bring in the scales of the house that represents the problems facing the right age is that message. isn't going away if anything is increasing as it does so to the accusations of police brutality despite popular anger levelled at austerity it's only recently there's been an apparent hardening in the response by

police especially since the new conservative government took charge late last year in favor of protesters felt the strong arm of the lord valencia what started as peaceful demonstration was met with batons tear gas and rubber bullets i sure never said if we can't allow young men to be had in the face while handcuffed because the only thing that slaps in the face here is democracy. but even anger within parliament fools on deaf ears at the top of my daughter but of to that the majority of meetings in february were not legal it means that there was no reason to institute proceedings against any policeman as he took it on but this is no isolated event over in barcelona after last month's general strike there yet more clashes with police. rest of mates but very few became public knowledge and has been in office here in spain there is an obsession to conceal the crime statistic no one knows it except the governments yet and we always act according to police

good advice based on this we know whether to be in missive or not the last one on the receiving end of public outcry and more and more people are labeling the police as protectors of unpopular policy with officers increasingly accused of breaking the very laws they're supposed to uphold. your groups r.t. madrid spain. in the u.s. is also strong concern over health and with how much immunity police can push their sweeping powers a recent human rights group report blamed law enforcement officers for tasering five hundred people to death over the last decade and tim cavanaugh the managing director of reason dot com says for americans the first reaction to police is fear rather than trust. there are questions about our situations that in the past might have been resolved by you know let's hang back and wait till this person comes down let's. pick him up at the next block after he runs out of breath or something like

that become situations where officers clearly move in and just try and take possession of a person in a way that they wouldn't have in the past we have a lot of video of that that is the big question i mean we why do we have to have this kind of force against people who are not owner of the one of the people is a guy in san bernardino county named alan kept part this gentle guy that you know the whole community knew him as you know almost like a forest gump figure he was tasered to death he was tasered nineteen times by. you know there were probes in his flesh to prove it there's a civil case going on the officers were all excuse all he is accused of apparently and the police reports are so opaque that it's been very hard to figure it out but apparently all he did was honk at a sheriff who may or may not have cut him off in traffic having violent offenders afraid of them is fine i don't know that all of the population should necessarily

be afraid of the police. live from moscow this is coming up in just a few minutes for you this hour the u.s. secret service tightening the screws. new good behavior rules were imposed on its agents you can find out what caused this something crack down on behavior. russia freezes hundreds of millions of dollars worth of assets in european banks belonging to tycoon was an oligarch outlawed by moscow one of those hits is the infamous exile. still to come free but first a new trial of ukrainian prime minister has been put off until late may due to her absence. who's accused of financial irregularities when she headed the gas company in the ninety nine he's refused to attend the hearing citing health concerns. explains. not only believes that this case against her is completely politicized

and orchestrated by the government she even reportedly went on a hunger strike to support the claim but also in the latest twist she claims that she was physically abused by wardens in the prison where she spends her prison time now that happened when she was to be transported to a clinic to have her reported spinal hemorrhage treated she believe she claims that the wards covered her and blanket and landed several punches in her hand this week a photos of her bruises were made public on the internet certainly made a lot of noise here in ukraine and internationally now on the other hand there was a video published as well showing tymoshenko walking free in her cell as if denying the claims that she has severe back problems that has been reported by her defending lawyers and also basically giving the idea that she may be simulating this disease of hers now certainly this case has been drawing thousands of people into the streets both for and against the former prime minister this time it's no exception with thousands literally beseeching the court building in hiding from the city of five and the prison where she is being kept and this also spurns more controversy with some in the crowd claiming that friday's terrorist attack in the

city of the put off school was orchestrated by the government to draw the attention from the tymoshenko case certainly that's a very wild rollercoaster right i'd like to remind all of you was that she is now spending seven years in prison for the abuse of power and this new cases all about her economic activity in the ninety's and some believe that she may be also found guilty and have her already big sentence extended by twelve years at least. coming up at r.t. all we in the midst of a global depression. we've been sold strictly to spend to spend to spend to spend so we stop spending because the depression thing get worse following yet another european financial collapse and rumania the resident asks if it's time to admit the problem may be more widespread than we thought. europe has frozen three hundred twenty million dollars worth of assets belonging to former tycoons on the run from russian authorities among those who've had their assets

having a close relationship with some chechen militants in particular. who is wanted by russia on terrorism but looking at this from a broader perspective this whole operation between russia and the. step forward in this is significant mark of progress in terms of the two sides implementing judicial request on working together all legal issues and that's of course despite some political and diplomatic disagreements. the u.s. secret service is pressured to run a toy to ship having issued new rules for the crackdown on behavior comes in the wake of accusations that american personnel were involved with prostitutes during foreign trips with more new restrictions and. details earlier. in the heart of moscow. the new conduct rules include a list a ban on heavy drinking and agents have to stop drinking ten hours before they next

go to work there's also a prohibition on visiting disreputable establishment or from the bringing foreigners back to hotel rooms and chaperones will accompany agents on trips to keep them in line this all comes after twelve agents were suspended after reportedly bringing prostitutes back to their rooms there in colombia ahead of the visit by president barack obama he called the agents in question knuckleheads and the congressional investigation into that incident has also been expanded to include another incident in two thousand and eleven in el salvador of a similar nature all of this suggests that official comments that what happened in colombia was an aberration may indeed not be the case and it appears that here in moscow the scandal may have spread here as well on this central street it's famous for its entertainment venues bars and clubs and one club in particular may have

become connected to this scandal the american newspaper the wall street journal has quoted informed sources saying that in june two thousand american secret service agents reportedly visited the hungry dark night club very this place noted for its while parties hours ahead of the visit by then president bill clinton it became famous for its broadcasts nature of the hungry duck especially its ladies' rights group in a mass strip tease by nine hundred twenty women hungry duck closed in two thousand and nine after years of problems with your mauritius but all of these stories are going to do little to calm the swirling storm of controversy around the u.s. secret service. check out more of what the infamous hungry veni had to offer before a shutdown those details are available. right now on our website. visitors to the netherlands will soon have to show. as the country begins cracking

down on drug tourists next week plus. more than a ton of waste from the international space station and reentry into earth's atmosphere with only a few small chunks. of mission control says they plunged into the pacific in an area known as space ship symmetry. if. russia and china bolstering their economic ties with always thirty business contracts worth fifteen billion dollars so and the trade investment forum here most good that's in addition to expanded military links and seeing it when it comes to global diplomacy for all this the stuff was told to turn to karen it looks then like relations between moscow and beijing oh. boy.

that's right and we've actually been seeing a lot of this in recent years and more so in the past few weeks just today we did see a twenty seven commercial contracts between russia and china signed totaling as you said an estimated fifteen billion dollars now this is a huge step a positive step for russia china relations we've seen in a recent in the recent weeks that's on last friday the end of the military drills in the yellow sea the chief director the general director for those drills pointing that out and saying that the naval drill was a complete success mainly focusing on those six day maneuvers and watching out for that air de france and really just involving exercises with that air traffic marine search rescue operation so all of that a positive move not to mention just last year between the two countries russia china relations we saw a contract being signed between the two countries where if further contracts were

signed those contracts could be paid for in their own currencies therefore excluding the dollar excluding the euro so a very interesting move definitely bringing a sense of more focus towards the eastern european side of the world russia and china and we've also seen the president elect and president medvedev really praising china sort of saying that it should be the main focus and saying that it is a place of rapid development so these contracts that were signed today these twenty seven in particular did focus on china's mining corporation and russia's metals of east siberia company and. they're very big contract with the eastern energy company and the state power grid of china which signed a long term project totaling about twenty five years which would under the contract be russia not far eastern company will supply electricity to china through interstate electric transmission so yet again another positive move certainly

seeing those relations strengthen and continue so all in all very good news carol thanks very much indeed for that live update there from central moscow current iraqi. they consider themselves descendants of an ancient tribe which has been in existence in the promised land for thirty thousand miles of years some of the journey back has taken years but at the end of the pilgrimage they're faced with government oppression in the very place they thought of as home. follows their struggle for recognition. deep in israel's negative desired other women and of an ancient people trying to build a modern homeland but these mostly black americans are not jews nor do they profess to be instead they call themselves african he is relights descendants of ancient israel we sing about the river jordan we didn't sing about mali or song timbuktu we sing about jericho jerusalem and canaan. and the songs were passed down through the generations born and brought up in the united states they believe that when the

ancient jerusalem temple was destroyed by the romans their ancestors fled to east africa from where they were taken to america as slaves in one thousand nine hundred sixty six chicago steel worker ben-ami been used well had a vision that it was time to return home everyone is called according to their portion and our portion was you know that to establish the kingdom of your and the kingdom of your represents a new idea you know upon the planet and so ben-ami set forth with some four hundred people who much like moses in the bible spent two and a half years wondering in liberia before reaching the promised land when the enemy arrived here in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine just under half of those who had left america with him had managed to finish the journey this was to become their home here in the negev desert but successive israeli governments made their lives difficult because ironically while the country is founded on the so-called law of return these were tourney's are not seen as jewish although many feel the

issue runs deeper than that when you go to the worst you have a problem with color just a matter of color. and so these people of color are often dismissed by mainstream israeli society for years their children could not attend the local schools they had no health care they were marked for deportation but despite the obstacles and the ongoing struggle for recognition they take pride in a tradition is and we understand that if there was a complaint there polygamous strict feagles make sure everyone follows an exercise program and are big supporters of preventative health care we are an integral part of the state of israel this was the vehicle that was used to bring us to the promised land and it's here in the desert wasteland that the community has multiplied more than sixty fold since it first came to the negative they say their intention is to be an example of peace and light to other nations and worship god not religion policy or r.t.

dimona now let's check out what else is happening around the world in our world update police abused gas and water cannons to disperse tens of thousands of protesters who took to the streets of the malaysian capital demonstrators led by an opposition back for form a group believe the current electoral system is handing and volunteered to the ruling coalition and they're demanding it should be changed at least twenty people have been arrested in one of the country's largest rallies in the past decade. your observers of iraq in the syrian city of following reports of the deteriorating situation in the region the visit comes after the government highlighted the surge in murders and kidnapping cases reportedly carried out by armed groups in the country when one lebanon has seized a cache of weapons aboard a syrian ship within its waters the cargo was apparently being smuggled in for the syrian rebel forces in contained artillery shells rockets rocket launchers and rifles. romania's government has collapsed following a no confidence vote just two months after taking office toughest dirty policies

led to the second government fall in three months the country's president has nominated the left wing opposition leader as the new prime minister subject to parliamentary proveable in recent months cells of protest across from mania following two years of harsh cuts. well with yet another european government forming jus to austerity measures some are questioning if the global implications are even more serious than we first thought when our new york resident. has been trying to find out. why we're living through the second great depression and just don't know it this week let's talk about that do you think it's the second great depression we're in. a hard question i hope is not maybe some places away easily agrees hopefully not very easily either but i would say that these only is a great depression do you think it's worse in some places and better in others.

it's the worst thing since the great depression probably the second great depression it'll be known in the future as the second worst of the depression yes why are we calling that that now i don't know did they call the great depression the great depression well was happening exactly you know they don't want to use the word the big deal word depression because by the phrase that once depression happened to hold their money and we've been taught sold strictly to spend spend spend spend so we stop spending because of depression then thing and get worse so they don't want that to happen so they'll wait for the history books to call this officially depression and yes if we admit that we're doing things wrong which we should do everybody else you know everything else will take two so they want to be getting out of it as soon as we admit it. we just need to admit there's a problem it's always the first step now you know whether or not we're living through this second great depression the bottom line is probably no one's going to have the nerve to call it bad until it's over.
