this just in the european parliament rejects the controversial act to a bill against internet piracy live pictures here from brussels. this seems to be a victory for the opposition who has been saying that act is a grave threat to individual freedoms will join me for all the details in a few moments. in the firing line barclay's former boss is set for a tough questioning from british m.p.'s this wednesday over a deepening banking scandal. that many people are also being why the ek government have allowed the financial industry to maintain its stranglehold over bush politics aside a little. time julian assange. it is true for three weeks as the secret

has the final episode of julian assange as news making interview show airs on our t.v. we'll look back up to highlight and impact the series. here with r t live from moscow where it's three pm and our top story the european parliament has rejected an online piracy pact which critics say risk destroying internet freedom counterfeiting trade agreement known as act it was aimed at tackling copyright theft let's not get the latest from our tests are silly of words following this from brussels tasso the parliament session has rejected the park i assume this is a victory here for the opposition isn't it. this is certainly is i mean there were already a lot of signs very very strong opposition leading up to today's vote that it will

be rejected by the european parliament the arguments opposing of the fact that this possible passage of this could possibly infringe on a lot of individual freedoms especially when it comes to internet freedom so out of the four possible outcomes in parliament what happened today is that they have rejected this counterfeiting trade agreement and what it essentially means is that europe as a whole would be out of this agreement and this has been signed by several other countries including the u.s. australia and if this is to be ratified by six of those parties europe will not be a part of it europe is considered as one entity and the thing is those who are supporting actor really wanted to get the european union on board because this will have more clout in terms of what they want to accomplish in enforcement of the law cooperation basically for you the merger of all of these but now that europe is out of the picture it will certainly diminish the kind of control or power that this agreement will hold if it is indeed ratified by six parties who had initially signed on to this agreement. we're seeing live pictures there from the european

parliament the agreement sparked mass protests across europe why exactly were people so concerned about what could have happened if this bill went through. well the main concern really here is the loss of freedom and just more monitoring from a florida in favor of those people lobbying commercially for the intellectual property rights of their climbing especially for example the entertainment industry is not for individual for people who are using the internet what they want to hear is simply freedom to do what they what they see as a very democratic slot form and so millions of people had signed on directly emailing m.v.p.'s signing petitions to the petitions committee here in brussels arguing is that the potential benefits of this act of bill wanted to break through is far outweighed by the damage that it could bring david martin who was steering

this act to bill in the parliament had actually said that the devil in this case is in the lack of detail it was so vague that if it is indeed passages opens the floor for interpretation of possible jailing of individuals and so he says that the european parliament just simply cannot guarantee the individual freedoms and fried in the european treaties for example and protect individuals and so we just kind of let it pass. right artie's tesler sylvia live from brussels thanks for that update . the u.k. is banking scandal is set to wind in 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 third largest lender has been found guilty of fixing a system of interbank lending rates it's all homeowners and businesses overcharge for loans at the height of the financial crisis the government's ordered a full part of the mentoring inquiry into the country's banking sector are to serve for ports. 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 calls coming in the wake of the revelations the buckley's was involved in fixing key interest rates known as libel now those interest rates were responsible for setting the cause the millions of businesses can see images and invest it is now following in the footsteps of the resignation of bookies chief executive paul 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 roots and 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 is not just barclays is thought as much as up to fifteen other institutions could also be implicated in this scandal now remember that this is the industry this always he both says they for 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 will talk to 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 if it 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. 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 barclays who was involved what went down there. from barclays was slapped with a fine of the equivalent of over four hundred fifty million dollars but economists run the shakespeare says arrests need to be made or 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 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 all and together but of course you have to hit those that you can pin with a criminal charge and that can be done to the charge of conspiracy to defraud the banks was first sleepy 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 that it only goes to the real economy and not into the casino in 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 barclays story is only

in ukraine's political circles it is in fact democracy in action and when you listen to be given as a through you would never see fights in the soviet parliament you'll never see fights in north korean political structures a brawl as a last resort of delivering your point when the vocal methods don't work and can only happen in a democratic state is not a factor but still it's democratic but that former deputy now political analyst to me that every day intends to disagree he says deputies are weak and cannot bring anything to a logical conclusion neither the law making process nor the fights that is why he published a guide on how they should roll over. a dip in just table is an endless source for improvisation i've counted at least eighteen things that ever table which could be used in a fist fight like the microphone or the hook which is used to hang one's back at it if they maim and seriously injured each other maybe this would have paved the way

for a new breed of politicians able to actually work effectively. the years flights have exacting impressive audience they are usually televised live on the parliamentary channel and they all favorite t.v. show will certainly hit the screens not. in white again for almost two years it has been relatively calm politically in this country and ukrainians have been deprived of televised fistfights within the parliament but now with a parliamentary election looming this fall deputies are expected to in done so far their fight for the right to work inside this building. ski r.t. reporting from key of ukraine. so eighteen minutes past the hour some world news in brief for you now the late palestinian president yasser arafat was killed by polonium poisoning that's what a new study suggests abnormally high levels of radioactive element of the radioactive element were found in his personal belongings researchers say that it

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 theorize mass into equations concerning particle physics if we look at it this way the main theory worked within this area of science is the well less than grandiose name of the standard model and if we think of that as a jigsaw puzzle with a whole load of different pieces missing if this proves to be that. well that fills in some of those missing pieces giving scientists a clearer picture of what they're working with well it's already being heralded as potentially the discovery of the century certainly of recent time in science 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. but the european center for nuclear research or cern like i said we're covering this story very intensively on

our website our team dot com so our you can keep up with that story like i said on our site. now the first ever nationwide occupy protest is underway in the u.s. with the largest gathering expected for america's independence day demonstrators are rallying on the fourth of july to renew their protest against economic inequality homelessness dead and war activists started flocking to philadelphia over the weekend we have already been met with having a police presence on sunday twenty six occupiers were taken into custody after a night demonstration the protests of the movement started in september last year york against corporate greed corruption and a widening gap between the richest one percent and the rest of the population later on next hour we hear from a wall street trader who tells us that corruption in the political arena house. for

there to be real change in the us there is one general theme that unites all of occupy it is that money and 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 the sort of bottom third of the income brackets have no say have no influence over their elected officials the middle third have some say in 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 in politics is the occupy movement. well daniels our business task and traders are getting out of the euro as fast as they can day what is happening the single currency has hit twelve year lows on the
