group's launch what it's called operation defensive phase two. we are calling upon the citizens of the united states to physically protest over the coming couple of months a number of protests will be held against companies supporting sis but the bill passed the u.s. house of representatives now is headed for approval in the senate but president barack obama has threatened to veto the act if passed citing a civil liberty concerns if passed this bill will permit u.s. based internet companies to legally share private user data with the government journalist david seaman explains what he thinks could be the dangers behind. they're going after people before they've even committed anything that's illegal. in that 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 vague 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 full 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 to look through all of our activities. of course we're interested in your take on our story you can log on to argue dot com and tell us how far you think this is will get so far forty percent

of you think the act will become law but only after the presidential election fewer than a third think it will spread its influence beyond the u.s. as other countries adopt similar laws the rest divided between thinking obama will veto the senate vote or that a watered down version will take effect dot com cast your vote. also online with extensive background. on how it differs from previous cybersecurity. and why that's all on our website. secret laboratory was able to build a most sophisticated robot which fortunately doesn't give a darn about anything tombs mission to teach music creation why it should care about humans and world this is why you should care only. spain now in a crisis of enormous magnitude with i don't point the soaring to an astounding

twenty five percent and millions taking to the streets in protest but as r.t. jacob riis reports with so many out of work tolerance for dissent has reached a new low. spanish police forcibly arresting a student his main crime filming what he interpreted to be police brutality. by the police as usual stopped a family of immigrants began to beat a nineteen year old woman i took my cell phone and started to film it's an action peytral. 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 would be sent to prison for three years. cases of offices allegedly abusing their power as the ranis for a long time. such scenes have remained relatively unknown but now the spate of mass demonstrations gripping spain bring officers actions to the forefront this crowd

does not bring in its hands of the ouster that represents the problems facing the right age is that message that isn't going anywhere if anything is increasing as it was so true 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 a peaceful demonstration was met with batons tear gas and rubber bullets i sure never said if we cannot 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 falls on deaf ears at the top of my daughter but if they're the majority of meetings in february we're not legal it means that there is no reason

to institute proceedings against any policeman. but this is no isolated event over in barcelona after last month's general strike there yet more clashes with police arrest are made very few became public knowledge 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 political advice based on this we know whether to be permissive or not the last one of us 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. to here greece r.t. madrid spain some to come here on r t why. an inane. we've been taught so shrigley to spend to spend to spend to spend so we stop

a clinic to have her reported spinal hemorrhage treated she believes she claims that the wards covered her and blanket and landed several punches on her and this week of 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 three 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 in the city of hide and the prison where she is being kept and this also 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 case certainly that's a very wild rollercoaster ride 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 case is 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. 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 cash seized fall an oligarch boris berezovsky currently living in exile in london our brussels correspondent tesser so he has more. overseas property and back accounts of several individuals charged in the high profile criminal cases of russia have been seized but this is at the request of the russian prosecutor's office some three hundred twenty million dollars worth of assets were confiscated in france switzerland monaco and ukraine and one of those individuals charge of these cases is a body. is of course controversial with high profile all the guards and it's

reported that about thirteen million euros worth of his assets were taken in france and this is in connection with a couple of embezzlement cases leveled against him by russia his relationship with russia is strange to say the least but it does go beyond these high profile financial criminal cases in the past he had said that he is on a mission that to bring down here putin and i quote by force and he has been seen as having a close relationship with some chechen militants in particular that's a client who is wanted by russia on acts of terrorism but looking at this from a broader perspective this whole operation between russia and the e.u. it is a step forward it is a significant mark of progress in terms of the two two sides implementing judicial request on working together on legal issues and that's of course despite some political and diplomatic disagreements the u.s. has deployed to continue its latest most sophisticated jets the f. twenty two raptor to the united arab emirates pentagon officials were quick to

a matter of months from acquiring nuclear weapons but they've been saying this since the one nine hundred eighty s. and of course the cia and mossad have both found that iran abandoned what was a very preliminary exploration into nuclear weapons programs almost a decade ago you can find more on these stories on our web site r t v dot com here's what else is a click away visitors to the netherlands also have to curb their appetite for so-called space cases the country starts cracking down on drug tourism next week plus. in malaysia nasser ali's ahead of elections violently dispersed by police as the latest images are you to chat that's youtube dot com slash our t.v. . movies are the images are. on the streets of canada. giant corporations are.

china and we've also seen president elect 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 a very big contract with the eastern energy company and the state power grid of china which signed a long term contract 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 we've seen friday the end of the military drills in the yellow sea 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 defense and really just involving exercises with that air traffic marine search rescue operation not to mention just last year between the two countries russia china relations we saw the contracts being signed where if further contracts

were signed those contracts could be paid for in their own currencies therefore excluding the dollar excluding the euro we also see both countries sharing similar views on syria and on libya so that's another thing that both nations do you agree . we much time to get again a very positive move certainly seeing those relations strengthen and continue so all in all very good news. coming up in just a few minutes on r t the u.s. secret service opens up about this revised code of conduct now behaving as it imposed on its agents find out what led to the sudden crackdown. and we'll take you to meet a russian family where it's tough to keep track of all the kids this still to come but first. with yet another european government falling to do austerity measures some are questioning if the global implications are even more serious than we first thought new york resident laurie harford just hit the streets to find out.

are we living through this 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. this hard question i hope is not maybe some places away easily agrees hopefully not very easily either but i wouldn't 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 do they call the great depression the great depression well it was happening exactly yeah they don't want to use the word the big deal word depression because a by the phrase that once depression happened by going to hold their money and we've been taught so strictly to spend spend spend spend so we stop spending because depression then things get worse so they don't want that to happen so

they'll wait for the history books to call this officially a depression yes if we admit that we're doing things wrong which we should do everybody else will 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. there's a problem with always the fear is that. 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 and. the u.s. secret service has pledged to run a tighter ship having issued a new set of directives for its agents crackdown on iran she behavior comes in the wake of accusations american personnel were involved with prostitutes during foreign trips artie's tom barton has more on the nearest directions incident details on a past scandal here in 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 is also a pro who bishan on visiting disreputable establishment or from 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 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 are saying that in june two thousand american secret service agents reportedly visited the hungry dark night club a very raucous place noted for its wild parties and i was ahead of a visit by then president bill clinton it became famous for its raucous nature of the hungry duck especially its ladies' night including a mass strip tease by nine hundred twenty women hungry duck closed in two thousand and nine after years of problems with your forest but all of these stories are going to do little to calm the swirling storm of controversy around the u.s. secret service. finally in this news block it's sometimes tough to remember the birthdays of all your relatives and so on goes cousins etc but imagine having to keep in mind more than a hundred birthdays with quite a few occurring on the same day or she's very a pushover went to me one man with

a very extended russian family they did the raid that i knew if you missed trying hard to prove he knows all of his one hundred and eleven siblings and cousins my heart out of which only fourteen brothers and sisters are his own and to that all of the onsen uncles and that's one family a bit difficult to keep track of. putting names to face is not a problem the most difficult thing really is remembering everyone's birthdays every other day we sometimes even have three or four per day and ray says their parents had only thirteen children but each of his siblings and it up with many kids of their own so the reality of having children for the chaparral family is taken to a completely different level. i do not even look at anyone having one child that doesn't really count having two that's guessing their birth three now

that counts as having a child this is the largest family in the clan has fifteen children. when i was asked as a child what i wanted to be when i grow up i always said a mother now our legal and he grows up he'll be a father so the tradition continues and here is the happy grandfather of the one hundred and twelve as well as the great grandfather of another ten great grandsons polish says his secret is loving everyone. but grass for mushy there are people who are happy buying a car or building a country house that's fine by me but my joy is internal i look at all of them they are my riches that neither my ass nor rust can eat away and no thief can steal from me and since his memory is far from being as good as that of his grandson the fim exceed probably which keeps all his records in order. oh you want back with here's

everyone starting from my first grandson in one thousand nine hundred two those written in bold are boys tonics girls well i'm not ashamed of how i live my life i worked in a mine and it wasn't easy the you know what i knew i had to raise them all and i still want to help them and do something good so they remember me forever. and while his grand kids fight for attention to be granddaddy's favorite of the day it's turned out pretty much impossible to get them all into one shot. bertha that is the work they say once children grow up and leave home of the empty nest syndrome often hits their parents hard so it seems the only guarantee to never feel alone is having more children carry a pushover r.t. came at about age and read up on the top stories coming up in a few minutes stay with us.
