europe makes an internet piracy pact walk the plank rejecting the agreement which could have led to big corporations cut off people have web access. is 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. war of words a dispute over a law allowing russian to be used in ukraine sees riot police tackle angry crowds in kiev. and the molecules and game of all this scientists claim they finally found the elusive god particle which could explain how everything in the universe exists.

it's five pm in the moscow you're watching archie i mean it's in our way with our top story and a sigh of relief from europe's internet users within the past few hours the e.u. parliament rejected a tory a song live piracy treaty act up the empty counterfeiting trade agreement was drafted to protect internet copyright laws but met with white outrage in europe for threatening people's web freedom or brussels correspondent has our silly a is following developments. 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 had 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 the main concern really here is the loss of freedom and just more monitoring from authorities 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 here is simply freedom to do what they what they see as a very democratic platform and so millions of people had signed on directly e-mailing any peace sign a petition to the petitions committee here in brussels arguing that the potential benefits of this act of bill wanted to bring through is far outweighed by the damage that it could bring david martins 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 it is indeed passages opens the floor for interpretation of possible jailing of individuals and so he says that the european parliament is simply cannot guarantee the individual freedoms and fried in the european treaties for example and protect individuals and so they just couldn't have let it pass. for more analysis on this we're not going to talk to co-founder of the citizen and next advocacy group the core of the term dinette jeremy zimmerman who's joining us live from strasburg this for being with us now that act has been turned down what's the alternative because several countries were keen to sign up for the anti compromise law before this. well first of all it is a huge victory for citizenship for democracy and for freedoms online we've worked very hard for the last four years to achieve this and it's to the whole of the citizens of the internet you know network global public sphere chief this victory but as you say this victory must be the beginning of something else and through the

victory an act of we hope that the e.u. policy makers will understand that this endless spiral of repression that is being pushed for the last fifteen years by the entertainment industry has to stop that combating all cultural practices online is not an option and would only be done at the expense of the fundamental freedoms and of the very fabric of what is a free internet so we have concrete proposals and they're already on the table of the e.u. policy makers about reforming copyright about making a cultural practices legal that sharing and remakes of cultural goods be made legal into the law so we can end this war against sharing this is urgent and i hope that through the act of battle the members of the european parliament understood if you heard at yesterday's debates you heard members of all the groups all the parties claiming that copyright has to change so this is

a signal that citizens sent through the internet to policymakers and this is a signal this is a symbol of global scale it goes way beyond the borders of the european union but how the protesters have they got a legitimate solution to this i mean this is the internet we're talking about. yes well the internet today is a global online public sphere this is where people meet this is where people discuss this is where public opinion crystalizes this is where we can discuss concrete proposals as alternatives to evil founded policies if you look on how act i was drafted it was mostly a few us based industries and if you and elected representatives who agreed together what we can do all together in the open with a free decentralized universal internet will be of much better quality i can assure

you. as an advocate for cyber freedom could you tell us where you think the line is between where one person's rights becomes an infringement. sorry again where do you think the line should be drawn where one person's rights becomes an infringement oh well in copyright you have this notion of fair use in author's right it's called the limitations and exceptions and those are parts where the artist doesn't of his word the author cannot for instance ban you from lending the book cannot ban you from making a parody of his work because lending books and parodies are of general interest so what should govern policy making is this notion of general interest when it comes to file sharing online you have dozens of independent studies including one from the french three strikes of the other piece that prove that people who share the more files on the internet other people who spend

a more full culture the same way that people who borrow the more books in libraries are the people who buy more books so when we do file sharing between individuals and not for profits we actually beneficial for culture because the more people access culture the more culture they get and the more culture they get the more they like authors and artists and the more they like them the more to spend for them to support them so this practice of file sharing between individuals and not for profit is not an illegitimate but it is beneficial for culture and for its economy therefore for society as a whole so sharing between individuals not for profit must be made an exception to copyright and generally very easy germy certainty of the judge recently i want you to tell me certainly people are going to be arguing that ditching actor could be a green light for pirates in france just openly defied the right law briefly what do you say to that argument. well what i say is that it's the notion of copyright itself that should be revised we all have the capacity today to participate in

culture to to share to rip to remakes we're all participants to culture and it is a fundamental right to participate in culture it is article twenty seven of your universal declaration of human rights we all have the rights to participate in culture and now we have the technology to do so so it is copyright that should be adapted to society and not the other way around and not through opac until democratic process is through act up but within parliaments with citizens being heard and i hope that act on the defeat of actor is the beginning of this german zimmerman co-founder and spokesperson person is an advocacy group called the line for us on the line from strasburg thanks for that. thank you. but we want to know what you think of europe's act or rejection at r t dot com so far over half of you believe the corporations behind the law will just rebranded fifteen percent claim

it's as good as dead slightly fewer are not quite certain what the agreement means in the first place while the final few think act is cause for the pirates and fraudsters to rejoice are to dot com is where you can add your voice and vote today . still ahead this hour watching the whistleblower doing a song to waits to hear if he can get asylum in ecuador we'll bring you the key moments of his news making series produced under house arrest and which is just around on our t.v. . also payback time barclays bank now dumped the boss could spill the beans later on wednesday over who knew why in the race fixing scandal that cost him his job. but first a law in ukraine to recognize russia as an official language in some regions has seen hundreds protest in kiev police fired tear gas at angry crowds after the

ukrainian parliament the rada approved the law without debate president and a covert says he'll consult experts before signing the law critics fear it will dilute ukrainian sovereignty and increase moscow's influence if russian is used in official business is by no means the first time tempers have run high in ukraine but in recent years it's been seething politician who's been getting physical as alexei or sense good report. another day another brawl while ukraine's parliament deliberated of a controversial language law deputies use their fists to let their feelings be known one of the central figures in another recent scandal party of regions deputies by the police who chant says she was attacked by opposition politicians while trying to address lawmakers. when you were i had to finish my speech in order to stop the voting five to six people attacked me i'm a former weight lifter and could provide

a strong physical reply but i didn't want to because then everyone would have said i was a thug but it was hard to restrain myself especially after a bottle was thrown at me after these events i received threats and had to move my family. is going to heated debates have often ignited into all out rage inside the rada two years ago when parliament was due to ratify agreements with the moscow on the stand that leaves of russia's black sea naval base small bombs went off and the rada speaker had to hide under an umbrella from a rain of rotten eggs thrown at him it may look like chaos and anarchy but for some in ukraine's political circles it is in fact democracy in action and when you listen to doing that. you would never see fights in the soviet parliament you'll never see fights in north korean political structures on a brawl as a last resort and delivering your point when the vocal methods don't work and can only happen in a democratic state where there is not

a factor but still it's democratic i mean the ballot 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 be a role. it depends his table is an endless. source for improvisation counted at least eighteen things that ever table which could be used in a fist fight with like the microphone or the hook which is used to having one's been maimed and seriously injured each other maybe this would have paved we for a new breed of politicians able to actually work effectively. the response rather have been attracting impressive audiences they are usually televised live on the parliament channel and the old favorite t.v. show will certainly hit the screens national wide again almost two years it had

been relatively calm politically in this country and ukrainians had been deprived of televised fistfights within the parliament but now with a parliamentary election looming this fall deputies are expected to intensify their fight for the right to work inside this building let's see russia reporting from kiev in ukraine. he will stay on top of what's happening in ukraine with the xers have to count twitter where he goes regular updates on the twists and turns in kiev . now it's a waiting game for whistleblower julian a song at the ecuador embassy in london seeking asylum while sweden still pushing for extradition to question him on sex charges and the u.s. circles to get hold of him for alleged espionage and during his months under british house arrest the sounds produced a much talked about interview series which is just wrapped up here on r.t. or a smith has its key moments. i'm julian assange.

it is true. expose the world secrets these jackets belong the united states government being attacked by the united states strongly condemned this quote after quote. it promised an insight into the world to morrow and in twelve episodes julian asked interviewed opinion formers and activists from across the political spectrum click click click click click click click and with the first guest being hezbollah leader hassan nasrallah the program proved it wasn't going to hold back from the get go talking to a man the mainstream media has ignored for six years what we called for in seriousness which is dialogue and he said there was a format that i was going to carry out because the alternative story that the no one cause of see the first use of my hands are inside syria because it's sensitive to the situation in syria also that just i was saying to civil war and this is exactly what america and israel want for syria elsewhere the joined up europe

project came under fire from david horowitz in a show that pitted the outspoken right winger against radical leftists. the age old ideological fight threatened to turn physical had they been in the same room may god bless blazes it was horowitz maintains europe is dead agrees it was a disastrous period europe europe is a cultural theme park in significant that's what happened that's what your welfare state that just took you out of the plot i have had personal experience with a socialist dream paradise of sweden and i can tell you it is nothing like you have opposing the global politics see change also made wait for two more on the guest list the eminent thinkers tarik chomsky the world protest movement showing modern politics are no longer fit for purpose to them the own so could lie in latin

america bolivia mentioned a couple of times one of the most striking things that's happened there is the most repressed. part of the population of the hemisphere the indigenous population has moved into the political arena i want you to know i am not defending it i think he is a dirtbag i think he is a dirtbag he obviously has no problem using his fifteen minutes of fame to sleep with anyone who is crawling dividing media opinion but getting real people talking today in a soldier's show hit the ground running and the public on the twitter sphere have an appetite for more nothing short of groundbreaking revolutionary broadcasting. highly engaged and then significantly representative of the times i'll miss it looking forward to season two of julian assange show but there's no guarantee season two can happen and i'm not for the death penalty so if i'm not for the death

penalty want to do it illegally shoot the son of a guy was forcing. nobody would know who is a traitor and should be executed or put in prison for life the feeling is mounting that the u.s. would indeed prosecute julian asos for westby a knowledge or worse given half a chance he's currently here at the ecuadorian embassy in london waiting to hear whether he'll get asylum that it's thought that prospect was first raised off mike during his interview with the ecuadorian president for the show broadcast on r.t. mutual admiration is clear in the interview and it ends on a friendly but chilling note as he. is really a pleasure to meet you julian least in this way and welcome to the club of the persecuted. thank you. thank you.

just so she has given us a glimpse into the future shape of the world we live in while his own future hangs precariously in the balance nora smith london. well julie massages entire series is ready to watch right now at r.t. dot com here's what else we've lined up on the web site claims that longtime palestinian leader yasser arafat was poisoned by polonium the report on details which supposedly said right on his death. was the jumpstart which gave these russian bear javal meantime the video is on t.v. dot com. well barclays bank's former boss is now facing british m.p.'s to explain who was involved and what he knew about the fixing of interest rates i was around whether bob diamond will implicate senior figures ranging from the bank of england to top levels of previous government there

he is now you could live pictures here of bob diamond inside being questioned now barclays was revealed to have meddled with interbank lending rates that could have then overcharged thousands of people with mortgages loans and credit cards it's a scandal that engulf the entire british banking sector and sending shock waves through west minster we spoke to a columnist rodney shakespeare who says that those who are guilty should be charged . 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 isn't 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 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 to 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 western financial and economic system of which the barclay's story is only a part of twenty minutes past the hour a look at some more news making headlines when things seemed more deadly violence against shiites in iraq a car last claimed at least eight lives when it exploded at

a market in central iraq another twenty eight were hurt by a separate explosion in the south east of baghdad elsewhere in the capital two policemen and a parliamentary official were shot dead in separate incidents the attacks followed tuesday's market bombings which left more than forty people dead. but the turkish military says the bodies of two pilots whose jad was shot down by syria two weeks ago have been found. the incident different tension between the countries with ankara beefing up its military on the border syria remains wracked by violence between troops and rebels but peace remains elusive but opposition groups failing to unite after brawls at talks which were meant to move them towards a united unity government alongside the regime. and i'm in an army uniform has wounded five nato troops in eastern afghanistan it is the latest in a series of so-called green on blue attacks where afghan police or army uniforms

attack international force it earlier this week three british soldiers were killed by afghan policeman more than two went to the foreign personnel have been killed in road shootings in afghanistan this year. so the see that shapes the universe may have finally been discovered by scientists at the large hadron collider the haze of boston or the god particle is the molecule which started it all and makes up the very fabric of our existence participator all over traces its genesis. 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 if this proves to be the higgs bo's'n 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

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 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 well 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 no muscles and we believe that we understand how they leave the base of course but it doesn't sound to be real because this sort of laid on earth muscles and imagine that we have a theory which explain how it could go there muscles 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 bosun this particle that they've 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. proto. from across the u.s. are gathering in philadelphia for a mass occupy wall street demo on independence day twenty six activists were arrested on sunday and have been charged with disorderly conduct the occupy movement started last september in new york against corporate greed and the gap between the rich and the rest of the american population next hour a former wall street trader tells us that the occupy protesters are angry because they have no say in america's politics and it's too corrupt. 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 to live here so i occupy wall street i mean there's been studies that have shown that the sort of bottom third of income brackets have no say have no influence over their elected officials the middle third has something that 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. now dimitri's nax and joins us from the business desk with an update and it seems like it's all quiet on the markets today isn't it absolutely because the bennetts day of course

in the united states the markets closed for volumes elsewhere also pretty low so what's happening in europe the picture there is flat and negative couldn't remember whether it was mixed or not footsies down point one percent and interesting story there of course bob diamond is to be question of front of the parliament today. in the spotlight and we're seeing banking stocks dropping also manchester united of c. is filed for an i.p.o. in the u.s. and it's willing to rake in one hundred million dollars so that's interesting also to look into. over of the commodities market we're seeing oil going down although losses are limited after several sessions of gains these losses are limited by the fact that iran continues its military drill so that's pretty worrying also in the commodities markets food prices will rise as a fifth of america's crops from the drought wheat corn and soybean prices are at four year highs although there is no trading today now. a big gain exporter which

is russia one of the top three in the world is also seeing heavy rains which have pushed prices up further some experts fear countries will now bring back the export bands that we saw during the summer extremes of two thousand and ten to guarantee supply at home. to look at what's happening elsewhere on the currency market the euro's dropping versus the dollar but after the huge gains that we've seen the past couple sessions this could be considers technical loss also which could be a reason which could explain this is the fact that the markets are mostly dropping around the world and coming out into the dollar and therefore the euro is losing value the russian ruble is also correcting against the basket of currencies over on the russian market the r.t.s. my six are mixed and flat really low volumes that is take a look at what's moving to my sex now and the financials are in line with the global trend they're dropping rosneft is also down as it continues its

a buyback program after vassar's down point three percent as it gets one hundred twenty six million euros in a loan from ground zero and is reporting production growth. and that's all we have time for this hour and all business most of all be back of course in fifty minutes time to bring you updates all right thanks for that update . on the way for you a recap of our main stories after that stay with r.t. .
