in the firing line park close former balsa set for tough questioning from british m.p.'s this wednesday over a deepening banking scandal. but many people are also why the ek government have allowed the financial industry to maintain its stranglehold over british politics the solo. evoked all internet freedom the e.u. parliament is expected to decide whether a highly disputed anti-piracy act will get the green light also. i'm sure enough. it is true for a few weeks where they expose the world secrets as the final episode of julian assange a news making interview show airs on our t.v. we'll look back at the highlights and impact of the series. the new data from spain

germany falls to lead calls for brussels to coax interest rates to historic lows for more we have more in the business just go for. home screen and online twenty four hours a day seven days a week you're with r t with me. the u.k. as a 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 u.k.'s third largest lender has been found guilty of fixing a system of interbank lending rights 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 r t sarah furthur

reports. it's been a truly terrible week for the city's reputation and it could be set to get even. now we've already seen buckley's bank leaves a number of its top executives that of calls coming in the wake of the revelations the buckley's was involved in fixing key interest rates known as libel those interest rates were responsible for setting the calls the millions of businesses can see him as an investor is now following in the footsteps of the resignation of bogeys 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 it's thought as much as up to fifteen other institutions could also be implicated in this scandal now remember this is the industry this always he both says 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 now is what is actually going to be done about it we're talking an inquiry at this point simply not going to cut it the public wants to see some real action here there are 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 get 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 buckley's who was involved what went down there. the equivalent of over four hundred fifteen million dollars economist rodney shakespeare says arrests need to be made while the whole system banking system is being compromised those are great because you see it's not just barclays of bob diamond and he's chairman it's they consequences in every day life which is at the moment the system and it's 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 paradigm 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 they're all in it together 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 correct what is now alas

the claps of the western financial and economic system of which the barclay's story is only a part. airplane parliament is due to decide on an online piracy pact which critics say risks destroying internet freedom the anti counterfeiting trade agreement known as act 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 with. you moments ago so. the people who do not want the. world on this street. although i don't have. a good this is also a. very very powerful no. i mean there's a lot of argument so i'm going to be devil's advocate and keep hugo it but support

opponents of her argue their legal rights there's two sides to a yeah but where is the line do you think where one person's rights becomes an infringement in. the right i think. they thought that when we share online and no money changing. selling dog the in the market. to be trying to use you know sharing online money changing hands comes in there what are people like you doing to meet these companies in the middle so to speak so that the people who make the movies and make the music they invest the time when 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 go around the table and talk any time soon. more. i

mean. you know the politicians. they want out there. all right here with r.t. and coming up this hour mind your language. a dispute over the right to use russian a new crane spills over into brawls in the streets and in the parliament as well with more on this and a few minutes here on our team and. all scientists working at the large hadron collider in search of announcing they may have made a major discovery of recent times after finding something consistent with the elusive god particle or pigs both and join me in a few moments for more on that. it's eight minutes past the hour.

wounded before being detained. the european center for nuclear research or cern has revealed its strongest evidence yet to support the existence of the so-called god particle this could provide key information about how the universe works let's get more on this from artie's peter our of our peter so break it down for us what do we know exactly about this particle well scientists working at the large hadron collider have said that they've discovered a new particle which is consistent with the higgs bo's'n all the elusive god particle now why that is so important is well the if this proves to be the higgs both and it proves right a whole lot of theory that scientists have been working with for the best part of fifty years now concerning the creation of the universe how it works and most importantly why things have muss up until now we've only been able to really theories the theory is mass into equations concerning particle physics if we

look at it this way the main theory worked within this level of in this area of science is the well less than grandiose name of the standard model if we think of that as a jigsaw puzzle with a whole load of different pieces missing if this proves to be the higgs bo's'n well that fills in some of those missing pieces giving scientists a clearer picture of what they're working with now it's all very very complex science in fact some of those working at the large hadron collider of said that it's probably easier to find the higgs boson than to explain it to the lay person imagine good we have a planet which is populated by of course we have nor masters and we believe that we understand how the leave the basic walls but that doesn't sound to be real because there's hope to play on her muscles and imagine that we have a theory which explains how it goes on mars and this is done using the hugues was

unwelcome just completely different. well it's already being heralded as potentially the discovery of the century certainly of recent time in science we are hearing from cern from the large hadron collider that it could take them around a year to definitely say whether this is the higgs boson this particle that they found but certainly it's very exciting time for the scientific community and all eyes will be focused on cern to see where this takes us in the future certainly an exciting time and an exciting discovery thank you peter oliver for those developments. time now for business news with danielle. danielle the e.u. economy is shrinking even faster than previously thought of the services sector including hotels and banking which dominates europe's economy has just contracted for thirteen months in a row in italy is also contracting in france and spain while germany unexpectedly
