in the firing line barclays former paulson set for tough questioning from british m.p.'s this one is starting over a deepening banking scandal. and many people are all saying why the u.k. government have allowed the financial industry to maintain its stranglehold over british politics for so you go. and vote on internet freedom the e.u. parliament is expected to decide whether a highly disputed anti-piracy act will get the green light also. time during the summer. it is true for a few weeks we've exposed the secrets. as the final episode of julian assange just news making interview show airs on our t.v. we look back at the highlights and impact of the series.

on screen and all mine twenty four hours a day seven days a week this is r t with me karen tara the u.k.'s banking scandal is set to widen with departed barclays chief executive bob diamond to be quizzed by m.p.'s potentially dragging the bank of england and government officials into the affair the case of third largest lender has been found guilty of fixing a system of interbank lending rates it's all homeowners and businesses overcharged for loans at the height of the financial crisis the government's ordered a full parliamentary inquiry into the country's banking sector are two sarah firth reports. it's been a truly terrible week for the city's reputation and it could be said to get even worse than we've already seen buckley's bank leads

a number of its top executives that of kools coming in the wake of the revelations that buckley's was involved in fixing key interest rates known as libel those interest rates were responsible for setting the calls for millions of businesses can see him as an investor is now following in the footsteps of the resignation of bucky's chief executive bob diamond we've also seen buckley's chief operating officer jerry messier resigning as well but of course this story is so much bigger than just a few key individuals this isn't about a few bad apples this is much deeper than that and is once again giving us a glimpse really into the rotten core of the city's banking sector now the big question now is what is going to happen next all they're going to be more big resignations this scandal has once again called into question the entire culture and practices of the banking industry and it's not just barclays is thought as much

as up to fifteen other institutions could also be implicated in this scandal now remember this is the industry this already both sides over the last four years the credit crunch a double dip recession a slew of stories about scandals involving extortion of bonuses you know we know all about the lifestyles of the rich and the shameless what the public want to know is what is actually going to be done about it took the inquiry at this point simply not going to cut it the public wants to see some real action here they're already big questions being asked for why the regulatory bodies once able to step in now we know the serious fraud office the f.s.a. is looking at whether any criminal sanctions can be taken that's going to take a couple of weeks before we go. at any answers but of course everyone is going to be watching very closely as the former chief executive of barclays bob diamond gets

quizzed by m.p.'s over what exactly happened who was involved what went down there barclays was slapped with a fine of the equivalent of over four hundred fifty million dollars but economist rodney shakespeare says arrests need to be made while the whole western banking system is compromised. those are great because you see it's not just barclays of bob diamond and he's chairman it's the consequences in everyday life which is at the moment the system and its corrections are putting money into this that these zombie banks down a black hole as a result of all this employment is collapsing not just in the u.k. but right the way throughout europe and this is in the same is in in the united states of america so you see there must be penalties there has to be a new pair of time thinking and frankly the whole ought to be cleared out and we have to start again people don't realize that the politicians are complicit

complicit because they think that the existing system only needs a few tweaks and a few corrections but that's not so all in the gather but of course you have to hit those that you can pin with a criminal charge and that can be done through the charge of conspiracy to defraud the banks firstly be controlled and that can be done by insisting that they lend only their own money and with permission the deposits of their customers but it must be can administered on two key conditions but it only goes to the real economy and not into the casino and the gambling and it's only for the spreading of the real economy now if you do that you could in fact start to create what is now alas the claps of the west the financial and economic system of which the barclay's story is only a part here paine parliament is due to decide on an online piracy pact which

critics say risks destroying internet freedom and counterfeiting trade agreement known as act out is aimed at tackling copyright that earlier my colleague kevin allen talked to robert harris from the u.k.'s pirate party who says the treaty is unpopular and confusing at best. so. there are people. on this street a. very very powerful know. anyway i mean there's a lot of argument going to be devil's advocate and keep it go it but support opponents of. their legal rights there's two sides so yeah but where is the law do you think where one person drives becomes an infringement in. the

right i think some will have a right to any money. they were told me sharing online and no money changing hands along with me. selling dodgy the market. together. to be trying. to do you know sharing online with no money changing hands becomes the material what are people like you doing to meet these companies in the middle service speak so that the people who make the movies and make the music they invest the time in it they develop these things or develop the medicines as well don't get ripped off don't feel they're being ripped off or we'll get to enjoy these things at a fair price are you going to get around the table and talk any time soon. any. politicians just meeting with people. they want how

. there is one general theme that unites all of occupy it is that money in politics has sort of corrupted the system to the extent that everything is broken so i do think that that is our biggest challenge is how do we sort of pull back on that and how do we how do we fight one of my favorite signs and t. shirts i've seen and i saw a bunch of this on may day was someone was wearing a shirt that said i can't afford a lobbyist so i occupy wall street i mean there's been studies that have shown that this sort of bottom third of income brackets have no say have no influence over their elected officials the middle third has something the top third has the most say so i do think that this is a big byproduct of the sort of corruption and of money and politics is the occupy movement. catch the full interview in just fifteen minutes right here on our. tear gas has been used in ukraine to disperse protesters angry and a new bill that allows water use the russian language in the country scuffles also

physicists work with has the less than grandiose title of the standard model now if we think of that theory as a jigsaw with a whole load of pieces missing finding out that the higgs does exist would allow those gaps to be filled in giving scientists a clearer picture of what is in front of them this particles was sort of the holes of one it was not planned experiment on people was hunting quarters particles for years and now we are witnessing clearly historical one one of the reasons for such advancements in this area of physics is the large hadron collider the work done at the twenty five kilometer long particle accelerator under the border between france and switzerland has been crucial to furthering our knowledge of what makes the universe tick all for the tidy sum of two point six billion dollars despite excitement from the scientific community at times the general public struggle to understand why this work is taking place even suggesting that experiments at the l
