all of your emails 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 to look through all of our activities. we're interested to hear your take on the story r t v dot com asking how far you think this isp will legislation will get so far more than forty percent

think they will become law but only after the presidential election less than a third think it'll spread its influence beyond the u.s. borders as other countries are adopting similar laws the rest divided between thinking obama will veto cispa after the senate vote or get a watered down version to take effect. and have yourself. also online to put together an extensive background on the bill for you to learn how it differs from previous cybersecurity act who supports it and why that's all a click away on our. secret laboratory to mccurry was able to build the most sophisticated. fortunately doesn't give a darn about anything to submission to teach music 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 the unemployment soaring to an astounding

twenty five percent and millions taking to the streets in protest but as jake agrees reports from madrid 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 if i mean the police as usual stopped a family of immigrants and 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 only sent to prison for three years even if you know cases of offices allegedly abusing their powers are on the rise 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 bringing this head off 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 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 the majority of meetings in february were not legal 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. very few became public knowledge and. in spain there is an obsession to conceal the crime statistic no one knows its extent the governments . police could based on this we know whether it's to be. on the receiving end of public outcry and more people are labeling the police as protect has popular policy with offices increasingly accused of breaking the very laws they supposed to uphold. j.q. groups madrid spain. still to come on r t what's in a name. we've been taught so shrigley to spend to spend to spend to

spend so we stop spending because of the passion that worries with a spanish economy and serious risk of collapse the president asif it's time to stop mincing words and call the world economic instability a depression. and europe he says hundreds of millions of dollars worth of assets belonging to all of art by moscow one of those infamous exiled boris karloff. but before we get the new trial of an ex ukrainian prime minister has been put off to late may due to her absence yulia timoshenko accused of financial irregularities when she headed a gas company and then i nees refused to attend the hearing citing health concerns parties legs are lexi explains. not only believes that this case against her is completely politicized 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 toward blanket on the land that several punches in her and this week 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 li 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 haifa 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 tymoshenko case certainly it's

a very wild roller coaster ride i'd like to remind all of you was that she's 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's frozen 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 seized fallen russian oligarch born boris berezovsky currently living in exile in london or brussels correspondent has more. overseas property and bank accounts of several individuals charged in the high profile criminal cases of russia have been seized and 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 charging these cases is the bodies but it solves is of course controversial and high profile

all the guards and it's reported that about thirteen million euros worth of his assets were taken in frats and this is in connection with a couple of embezzlement cases leveled against him by russia and 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 the putin and i quote by force and he has been seen as having a close relationship with some chechen militants in particular as 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 a contingent of its latest and most sophisticated jets the f.

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 where you can find more in our stories a click away on our team dot com here's what else is online right now visitors to the netherlands will soon have to curb their appetite for so-called space cakes as the country begins cracking down on drug tourism next week plus. in malaysia massive rallies ahead of elections out violently put down by police you can see the latest images on our youtube channel youtube dot com slash heart. moves are the images for. troops have

china and we've also seen the president elect was the metaphor to 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 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 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 firm thinks 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 what they cost 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

law of return these were tourney's are not seen as jewish although many feel the issue runs deeper than that when you go into it 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 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 the traditions and we understand that they can 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

accusations that nicolas sarkozy's two thousand and eleven election campaign was funded in part by libyan colonel gadhafi had been strengthened by new evidence a french web sites obtained documents allegedly indicating the libyan government agreed to help those he's presidential bid with fifteen million euros the news comes as our posy faces a tough run off of issues elections having lost in the first round the government took steps to improve relations with gadhafi before abruptly changing that stance in two thousand and eleven supporting the rebels who overthrew. coming up in a few minutes the u.s. secret service opens up about its revised code of conduct new good behavior rules imposed on its agents find out what led to the sudden crackdown. and we take you to meet a russian family where it's a bit hard to keep track of all the children that's coming up. but it's to split first with more european governments falling due to austerity measures some are questioning if the global implications are even more serious than

first thought our new york resident laurie harford just hit 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 where in. hard question our 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 did they call the great depression the great depression well it was happening exactly yeah they don't want to use the word a big deal word depression because a by the phrase that once depression happened in a hole 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 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 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. 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 to crack down on raunchy behavior comes in the wake of accusations american personnel were involved with prostitutes during foreign trips are seen as tom barton has more on the new restrictions and some details on

a past scandal right 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 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 was 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 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 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. it's sometimes hard to remember the birthdays of all your distant

cousins aunts uncles etc but imagine having to keep in mind more than a hundred birthdays quite a few of them happening on the same day or his diary or pushed over when to meet one a very extended russian fam. it it made that i knew the theme is 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 and add 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 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. i didn't 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 at this is the largest family in the client 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 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 mosque nor rust can eat away and no sleep can steal from me and since his memory is far from being as good as that of his grandson the theme

bubble which keeps all his records in order. oh you were back with piers everyone starting from my first grandson in one hundred eighty two those written in boulder boys tonics girls well i'm not ashamed of how i live my life i worked in a mine and it wasn't easy but 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' home and so it seems the only guarantee to never feel alone is having more children daria pushed over r.t. came out of reach and i mean back with a recap of our top stories in
