responded to a new u.s. cyber security act or cispa encouraging internet users to take to the streets the group launch what it's calling a operation defense second phase. we are calling upon the citizens of the united states to physically protest over the coming two months a number of protests will be held against companies supporting cispa the bills passed the u.s. house of representatives now headed for the senate but president barack obama has threatened to veto the act citing civil liberty concert if passed so this bill will permit u.s. based internet companies to legally share private user data with the government journalist david seaman explains what he believes are the dangers behind it. 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 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 and without telling you and be 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 you know bad actors are up to online this is just a gross invasion of the everyday person's privacy and for what 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 we're interested to hear your take on this story r.t. dot com is asking how far you think this is politicization will get so far more

than forty percent thinks this bill will become law but only after the presidential election less than a third think it'll spread its influence beyond the u.s. borders on those trees and adopt similar laws the rest of the between thinking obama will be after the setting vote bore that a watered down version will take effect but on to our and have your say. also online we put together an extensive background on this before you log on to learn how it differs from previous cybersecurity who supports it and water that's all. you need good leverage. to build. most sophisticated robots which on fortunately doesn't give a don't amount to anything tombs mission to teach creation why it should care about humans and we're going this is why you should care only dot com spain now facing a crisis of enormous proportions with unemployment soaring to an astounding twenty

five percent and millions taking to the streets in protest but as artie's jacob green's reports with so many out of work tolerance for dissent has reached a new low. the spanish police forcibly arresting a student whose main crime filming what he interpreted to be police brutality. by oh yes 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 that he paid for them and i thought on them what they mean and i was threatened with death beaten and locked up in a cell i was out of touch for thirty nine hours i was told only sent to prison for three years. 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 bring officers actions to the forefront this crowd is

not bring in the scales 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 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 and the 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 means that there was no reason to

institute proceedings against any policeman good. this is no isolated event over. the last months general strike through yet more clashes with police the rest of mates but very few became public knowledge and. in spain there is an obsession to conceal the crime statistic no one knows it except the governments that we always act according to police good advice based on this we know whether to be. on the receiving end of public outcry and more people are labeling the police as protect is popular policy with offices increasingly accused of breaking the very laws they supposed to uphold. greece madrid spain still to come here on our team watson. we've been taught so strictly to spend spend spend spend so we stop spending because the depression thing and get

worse with the spanish economy at serious risk of collapse the president has had time to stop mincing words and all the world economic instability and depression. in europe freezing hundreds of millions of dollars worth of assets belonging to take. one of those infamous exile boris berezovsky. but first the new trial of former ukrainian prime minister has been put off to late may due to her absence yulia timoshenko accused of financial irregularities when she had a gas company in the one nine hundred ninety s. refused to attend the hearing citing health concerns. reports from. not only believes that this case against her is completely politicize an 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 believes she claims that the wards covered her and blanket and landed several punches in her and 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 in the city of hide and the prison where she is being kept and this also more control over see 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 tumor sankoh 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. 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 fortunes seized to fall an oligarch boris berezovsky currently living in exile in london or brussels correspondent has more on the operation. overseas property and back accounts of several individuals charged in the high profile criminal cases of russia have been seized 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 of course controversial with high profile all the guards and it's

reported that about thirty 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 has said that he is on a mission to bring down putin and i quote by force and he has been seen as having a close relationship with some chechen militants in particular. 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 u.s. has deployed a continued of its latest most sophisticated jets the f. twenty two raptor to the united arab emirates pentagon officials were quick to

defend the move once the details emerged saying they're only there for regional security indeed snoozer for antiwar dot com give us his take on the aims of the mission. of course it's not going to bring any security at all if anything it's going to increase tensions in the region convince the iranian government that next month's talks in baghdad are not serious and that the u.s. is simply negotiating in bad faith once again i think it is largely symbolic it's the fact that there are rumored to be organizing a simulated attack run on iran with the cooperation of israel particularly since it's supposed to come just ahead of the baghdad talks it's politically very popular to have that have a major threat that you're in the process of dealing with and how much better when that threat is entirely illusory in this case both israel and the united states are

very interested in portraying iran as as 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 team dot com here also here is what else i said click away like wow this it is to the netherlands for sort of to curb their appetite for so-called space skates as the country starts cracking down on drug tourism next week plus. it will lead to massive rallies ahead of elections by all of the put out by police and see the latest images are you tube channel you tube dot com slash r t. moves are the images. from the street candidate. giant corporations are

china and we've also seen the president elect what the metaphor doesn't 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 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 the russian 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 operations 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 agree very much on so yet again a very positive move certainly seeing those relations strengthen and continue so all in all very good news. george who founder of international strategic alliances for things china is edging away from its dollar dependency. it's difficult. to completely get away from the gallery there holding too many too much dollar but they banter is something like sixteen or more bilateral day costs want currency agreements and russia is one of them and all of these. is to allow the bilateral trade between the two to do without having to convert the amount into galleries first but to use it to build your local currency and that is

a internationalizing. internationalizing the i mean we. as well the leveraging and minimizing exposure to the dollar they consider themselves a sense of an ancient tried that's been in existence on the promise land for thousands of years for some their journey back has taken years but at the end of their program age say they were faced with government oppression in the very place they called home artie's policy reports deep in israel's negative desert all the women and seven 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 with knights descendants of ancient israel we sang about the river jordan we didn't sing about mali or song timbuktu we sang about jericho jerusalem in canaan's land. 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 still work 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 bellamy 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 it the worst you have a problem with coal or just a matter of color. and so these people of color are often dismissed by mainstream israeli society for years they children could not attend the local schools they had no healthcare they were marked for deportation but despite the obstacles and the ongoing struggle for recognition they take pride in a traditions and we understand that they could play their polygamous strict make sure everyone follows an exercise program and all 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 back to the problem. 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. dimona

turning out as some other stories making headlines across the globe un observers arrive in the syrian city of rebuff the reports of that it's hearing situation in the region the visit comes after the government highlighted a surge in murders and kidnappings reportedly carried out by armed groups in the country meanwhile lebanon seized a cache of weapons aboard a syria bound ship within its waters of cardo apparently being smuggled in for a syrian rebel forces containing artillery shells rockets rocket launchers and rifles. yes. in beirut ten policemen have been injured in clashes with egyptian migrant workers over lebanon's foreign labor laws police moved to disperse a demonstration after rocks were hurled at the egyptian embassy and its guards twelve workers arrested lebanese law ties foreign labor is to their local employer limiting their ability to improve working conditions or change jobs. and in a few minutes on our t.v. the u.s. secret service opens up about its revised code of conduct.

now good behavior rules imposed on its agents find out what caused the sudden crackdown. that will take it in the one russian family where it's difficult to keep track of all the kids coming up. but first with more european governments falling due to austerity measures some are questioning of the global implications or even more serious than we first thought our new york resident laurie harford just hits the streets of the big apple to find out. are we 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. this is a hard question our hope is not maybe some places away easily or griese hopefully not so very that either 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 or 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 to spend to spend to spend so we stop spending because depression then things are going to get worse so they don't want that to happen so they'll wait for the history books to call this officially depression yes if we admit that we're doing things wrong which we should do everybody else will you know everything else will take to the what are we 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. whether or not we're living through the second great depression the bottom line is probably no one's going to have the

nerve to call it bad until it's over. the u.s. secret service has pledged to run a tighter ship having issued a new set of conduct rules for its agents crackdown on iran she behavior comes in the wake of accusations of the american personnel being involved with prostitutes during foreign trips artie's tom barton has more on the new restrictions and some details on an earlier 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 to go to work there's also a prohibition 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 the

a problem the most difficult thing really is remembering everyone's birthdays every other day we sometimes even have three or four. under a 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. of the republic of ireland having one child that doesn't really count having two that's guessing they're both three now that counts as having a child here at 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 one 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
