structures that governed it so yeah i mean i guess by being there by exercising directly democratic process we're posing a threat and so the police had to respond i mean there's nothing that terrifies the american government so much as the threat of democracy breaking out in america wasn't there for her to react like that was. found you can catch the seventh edition of journey into song just to see reason for tomorrow at eleven thirty g.m.t. here on archie and if you've missed the service six a can always watch them online at. home and to the protests in canada now and there's hope the standoff between students and authorities in quebec could soon come to an end with talks due to resume on monday. demonstrations against tuition fee hikes have been taking place on a nightly basis for months but if you imagine so low high school such cutting fees may no longer be enough get an extra can now reports. it's not just about

the u.s. may stream news media is rapidly losing its audience with the biggest network suffering from sinking ratings rising independent outlets and internet sources provide an alternative to corporate controlled news and as aussies marina birchenough reports media giants are increasingly obsolete. but he's the most trusted fictional name in news the lead character of h.b.o.'s upcoming series newsroom is on a mission to tell the truth in the face of u.s. corporate and commercial pressures the new era of what makes was the greatest country in the world i don't know what you're venting their lives and their work in the myriad of nonfiction morgan holding its annual shareholders meeting america's corporate owned news networks that rarely challenge the status quo might want to take some cues from h.b.o.'s fake show and i report awards last month cnn's ratings dropped to their lowest in a decade here on the nominees in march fox lost nearly twenty percent of their

viewers and for years and this n.b.c. has consistently remained at least popular among all three if you went into the board rooms in the executive suites of these media companies they are in a panic about this. but the peter hart is the activism director at fair a us media watchdog group he says an increasing number of americans are abandoning mainstream media for alternative independent or foreign news outlets once people shift and say c.n.n. is not for me fox is not for me on this and b c isn't doing what i really want them to do or need them to do then it's hard to get them back how you convince somebody that your media system works when their experience tells them that it doesn't work when last autumn's biggest global story was born in new york city it was largely ignored by most mainstream news outlets but it is. this organized a look on is one of the protesting nobody seems to know until it became impossible

to suppress. this spring the fight against corporate greed is still being waged but at this event in times square demonstrators are surrounded by news tickers but no mainstream t.v. cameras the occupied. movement is it waiting for the almighty powerful networks to show up and reports about their demonstrations instead the grassroots group doesn't need immediate distribution of the heart of its campaign reading newspapers like this one which report about political financial and social stories that are either blocked out more rarely addressed by most in mainstream news outlets the first amendment just keep shrinking in importance as a handful of profiteering corporations who don't care a lot about journalism don't care a lot about democracy has taken control reporting the truth means risking all the dangers of digging too deep cost america's legendary newsman dan rather his coveted

chair at c.b.s. the trusted journalist was forced to resign after reporting that george w. bush went missing during his national guard service to avoid being drafted to vietnam mothered c.b.s. you know because i and my team reported a true story it was a tough story a story a lot of people didn't want to believe that it was subjected to a terrific propaganda barrage to discredit to a case in which art is imitating life is becoming. a life now seeing more americans turning to the alternative marina port i.r.t. new york. on time to cross over to our business desk and that touches that side of london's that real estate market is quite robust thanks to the russian buyers as well is that right absolutely but not only russians of course buyers from asia and europe are also flocking to london all of the details in just a couple of minutes let's first start with the equity markets and europe first

sense wall street will remain closed for memorial day and as you can see europe is doing quite well the footsie is gaining almost a quarter percent the dax is trading one to negative at this point and of course the all. is mainly comes from greece where the latest poll shows that the greek people are likely to vote for the bailout in new democracies parties so that means there is actually a chance that the. austerity measures will be implemented and that greece will stay in the euro zone but of course this spanish story is adding a grain of salt there shares of spain's a troubled bank a bank he slipped twenty eight percent on the news that to the bank asked for a twenty four billion dollar bailout from the government and that would be the biggest bailout in spain's history and let's move on to the euro the currency

market euro is doing quite well it's a gaining against the u.s. dollar and despite its current strains it's really not lowering been the record number of experts who predict that euro will continue its downward spiral spiral in the near future will definitely keep it on not the russian market the ruble of the russian currency i should say the ruble is trading mix it's gaining to the u.s. dollar but it's a losing to the european currency and that brings us to the russian equity markets which i already mentioned let's now see the numbers and the russian markets and the day with gains almost half a percent for the r.t.s. and three quarters of a percent for the my sex and latest data shows that the russian economy attracted thirty six and a half billion dollars of investments in the first quarter and that's an eighteen percent drop compared to the same period last year so now check out some individual

movers on the my six the biggest movers for the day includes bear bank that's in the financial sector a lukoil was gaining on a stronger or oil and t. and p. recovered after spending most of the day in the red on the news that it's see. resigned earlier on monday and oil one of the main indicators for the russian stock markets it's doing quite well as you can see and that's despite the fact back to us stockpiles reach a twenty two month high and it's still gaining because of the situation in greece and the optimism there and the continued concerns about iran's nuclear program and a lot of the is once again attracting real estate buyers from around the world they see the city as a safe haven have a ready driven the prices of london's top notch residential

properties up three percent this year and the head of research at my franc u.k. said the trend is likely to continue going forward. it's seen as a aaa asset with the london postcode if you like it's it's something that people can invest in and then they know their money will be safe it's secure here it's safe it's politically secure economically fairly slight you separation from the euro zone yes we're involved but we're not in the euro zone so people do see it is somewhere to come they would feel safe if they just create well so they come for you to be wealthy they can come here and there but there's no political threat or anything like that so we've seen that and we saw the russian elections there was a spike of interest from russian buys we saw the euro zone crisis the european boy is now flooding in to the prime central london market so you can really see when things happen across the world it is reflection upon something on the market it's quite remarkable. and that's the latest from the business the s.q.l. the back in less than an hour. thanks so that's how. now the latest edition of.
