10:02 am
rejected this counterfeiting trade agreement and what it essentially means is that europe as a whole will 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 signing petitions to the petitions committee here in brussels arguing that the potential benefits of this act of bill of 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

meddled with interbank lending rates that could have that overcharged thousands of people with mortgages loans and credit cards it's a scandal that's engulfing the entire british banking sector and sending shock waves through westminster economists rodney shakespeare says that those who are guilty should be charged. there's outrage because you see it's not just barclays of bob diamond and he's chairman it's they consequences in everyday life which is at the moment the system and it's 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 pair of time 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 to the charge of conspiracy to defraud the

occupy protesters are angry because they have no say in america's politics because it's plagued by corruption. 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. the occupy movement. for more news making headlines this hour when more deadly violence against shiites in

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 boson 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 nor masses and we believe there but we understand how they leave the basic walls but it doesn't sound to be real
10:23 am
because this sort of laid on earth mars and imagine that we have a theory which explains how it goes on mars and this is done using the higgs was unwelcome just completely difficult 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'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. a second. dimitri how are the markets doing so quiet out there it is absolutely quiet because of independence day in the united states the markets they're closed on average on other markets we see volume thirty to forty percent lower than they normally are well in europe we've got thirty nine percent for example activity on the footsie

which has now moved into positive territory. quite. inadequate actually the performance that we're seeing today first goes down and goes up so it's pretty flat and explicable what's in the spotlight right now is bob diamond the former c.e.o. of this is being questioned by parliament so that's interesting to follow and also manchester united f c is filing for an i.p.o. in the united states expecting to rake in our hundred million dollars so that's something to look into also on the commodities markets we're seeing oil still declining although the pace of the decline has now reduced has shrunk to forty three cents for light sweet for example so losses there are limited by the fact that iran is still continuing its military drills and test fires missiles so therefore that's creating a lot of worry still also in the commodities market food prices will rise as a fifth of america's crops face damage from the drought wheat corn soybean prices
