funds to. start on t.v. don't come. here at makes an internet piracy pact walk the plank rejecting the agreement which could have led to big corporations cut off people's web access. if they truly 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. plus war of words is just viewed over a law allowing russian to be used in ukraine sees riot police tackle angry crowds in kiev. and the minute manner that gave us all this scientists claim they finally found the elusive god particle which could explain how everything in the universe exists. on a quiet session on the markets today with volumes of forty percent lower than usual

the russian manages to secure the full day of gains in a row joyride twenty minutes to a. good seven pm here in moscow this is r t coming to you live i'm just annoyed with our top story and it's a sigh of relief from europe's internet users within the past few hours the e.u. parliament's rejected a notorious online piracy treaty act the empty counterfeiting trade agreement was drafted to protect internet copyright laws but met with wide outrage and europe for threatening people's web freedom or brussels correspondent tess are silly 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 a 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 of wanted to bring through is far outweighed by the damage that it could bring david martins who was steering this activity in 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 fries in the european treaties for example and protect individuals and so they just couldn't have let it pass. through this an advocacy group founder german jeremy zimmerman believes copyright laws must be reformed but none thinks parents of online users. this victory must be the beginning of something else and through the victory on actel 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 of cultural practices online is not an option and would only be done at the expense of our fundamental freedoms and of the very fabric of what is a free internet so we have concrete proposals in there already on the table of the e.u. policy makers about reforming copyright about making our cultural practices legal that sharing and remakes of cultural goods be made legal into the law so we can end this war against sharing. well tell us what you think of europe's act of rejection at r t v dot com so far over half of you believe that corporations behind the law will just rebranded sixteen percent claim it's as good as dead now slightly fewer are not quite certain what the agreement means in the first place while the final few think it's calls for the pirates and fraudsters to rejoice let us know what you think are two dark comments where you can add your voice. had for you this

hour watching the whistleblower as julian assange is waits to hear you get a phylum door to bring you the key moments of his news making series produced under house arrest and which is just rap on our. butts payback time barclays bank now dump getting grilled over who knew what in the rate fixing scandal that cost him his job. but first a law in ukraine to recognize russian as an official language in some regions has seen hundreds protest in kiev police fired tear gas at the angry crowds after the ukrainian part of the mint the rada approved the law without debate president 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 but it's by no means the first time tempers have run high in ukraine but in recent

years it's been seething politicians who've been getting physical as alexie are now reports. another day another brawl while ukraine's parliament deliberated over a controversial language law deputies used their fists to let their feelings be known one of the central figures in another recent scandal haunt you regions deputy but you could use the junker says he was attacked by opposition politicians while trying to address lawmakers. when there were i had to finish my speech in order to start 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. 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 leads of russia's black sea naval base small bombs went off and the rather 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 be given as a through you would never see fights in the soviet parliament you'll never see fights in north korean political structures with 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 and the former deputy now political analyst to me that if it 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 of 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. years fights to have its. press t v and they are usually televised live on the part of the chairman the favorite t.v. show certainly hit the screens national white again for 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. reporting from key in

ukraine. but you can stay on top of what's happening in ukraine with. twitter where he gives regular updates on the twists and turns happening in kiev. now it's a waiting game for whistleblower julian a song he's 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 during his months under british house arrest of produce a much talked about interview series which is just wrapped up here on r.t. for a smith now has its key moments. i'm julian assange. it is through here where they expose the world secrets these jackets belong united states government being attacked by the united states strongly condemned what. it promised an insight into the world tomorrow and in twelve episodes julie and i saw

and interviewed opinion formers and activists from across the political spectrum. class 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 in seriousness which is dialogue and he said that reform at the assuming everybody because the alternative to that for no one cause of you see for us to see somebody was inside syria because of the sensitivity of the situation in syria also that just i was there it's a 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 oh my

god never plays its own horowitz maintains europe is dead agrees it was a disastrous spirit europe europe is a cultural scene poor. it's significant that's what happened that's what your welfare state just took us out of the. experience with a socialist dream paradise of sweden and i can tell you it is nothing like the other party the global politics sea change also made waves but two more on the guest list the eminent thinkers tariq ali and chomsky the world protest movement showing modern politics are no longer fit for purpose to them the answer could lie in latin america you 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 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 julian assange 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 in one significantly representative of the times i'll miss it looking forward to season two of julian assange his show. but there is no guarantee season two can happen and i'm not for the death penalty so if i'm not for the death penalty i want to do it illegally shoot the son of a guy with forcing. nobody would know who is a traitor and should be executed or put in prison for life the feeling is mounting

that the us would indeed prosecute to the end i saw as for westby a notion or worse given half a chance he's currently here at the ecuadorian embassy inducted waiting to hear whether he'll get asylum that it's still the 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 who to go to solution is really a pleasure to meet you julian least in this way will be welcome to the club of the persecuted. thank you. carol. thank you. so much 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. julian assange says

entire series is ready to watch for you 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 we reported details which supposedly said light on his that. plus the jump start which gave these russian daredevil a swinging time video minet r t v dot com. barclays bank's former boss is being grilled by 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 the top levels of previous government now barclays was revealed to have meddled with interbank lending rate that could have then 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 the consequences in everyday life which is at the moment the system and it's corrections 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 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 got to be cleared out and we have to start again but of course you have to hit so those. you can pin with a criminal charge and that can be done to the charge of conspiracy to defraud the banks first repeat that could be done by insisting that they lend only their own money with permission the deposits of the customers but it must become administered

on two key conditions but 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 if you do that you could in fact start to create what is no alas the claps of the western financial and economic system of which the barclays story is only a part where protesters from across the u.s. are gathering in philadelphia for a mass occupy wall street demo on this independence day twenty six activists were arrested on sunday and have been charged with disorderly conduct my movement started not very new york against corporate greed in the gap between the rich and the rest of the american population let's now talk to our gupta in philadelphia joins us he's the founding editor of the new york news website and thank you for joining us you of course like i said in philadelphia it's about

a quarter past eleven am is the gathering living up to organizers in terms of those who showed up what are the numbers that came like. the numbers so far i think. perhaps about five hundred people it does. very wonderful that celebrate tory air and it's a reminder of what made occupy so forth and that kind of recreated the comyn and created miniature society that's in evidence that philadelphia but at the same time for a movement that was sometimes drawing twenty thirty fifty thousand people in individual cities last fall the major demonstration the fact that only five hundred people and show the bar i think is the real measure of how much the movement has bragman didn't dissipated over the last six months still police are on standby especially

after those twenty six activists were arrested on sunday is it expected that if you know this afternoon more people come out on expectedly that we could see some kind of violence. well the violence that we always see comes from the elites we should remember that the police in america are very violent force they're heavily militarized at most you might get a plastic bottle thrown from the. garbage cans overturned but in terms of injuring the ball coming from the belly button they often will instigate these actions i think more one of the interesting things about today is how many americans of different political stripes have descended on philadelphia it's kind of like america's secular job that draws the political faithful so even while the. national gathering is going on you have a national you have a radical convergence there's this other pseudo occupy is that that's driving the

list of grievances and pretty much right next to the parts where the occupiers are is the tea party so you have all these different groups that are milling about in philadelphia the birthplace of the constitution looking. for some way to redress their greed but. let's not forget of course all this happening on the fourth of july day of national celebration how do you think that's impacting these occupy demos. i don't think it really matters much to people in the occupy movement and most people in the movement of the day is something great certainly they may enjoy the fireworks but in terms of the historical narrative of. slavery and genocide of the native american people don't really see it as something that we should be celebrating and they see it as an opportunity to perhaps building better

america. something we've been hearing about recently in the news is that twitter has been ordered to turn over three months of deleted tweets from an arrested occupy wall street protester of course and social networks a major force in this movement how far do you think the u.s. government's prepared to go to seek out and prosecute those who protest against inequality. oh well very great degree i mean this is a government that assert the right to extra judicial assassination of the us. that want to imprison not just for national but american citizen for life without trial just on and say so if it's using every means at its disposal and what we saw in may in cleveland in chicago was a group of hapless homeless young men who were in narrative and these f.b.i. entrapment was to basically saying damn and the occupy movement as terrorists we

have very much as a government out of control that practices terrorism against the population and many other people throughout the world so i don't think he's really any limit except what. opinion. forces to do or not do right angles to founding editor of the new york news website the independent talking to us live from philadelphia where so far a small occupy gathering has begun this fourth of july thanks for that thank you. and in the next hour here on r t 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 plagued by corruption. well look now at some other world news for you this hour wednesday seen more deadly violence against shiites in iraq a car blast claimed at least eight lives when it exploded at

a market in the center of the country another twenty eight were hurt by a separate explosion in the southeast of baghdad elsewhere in the capital two policeman and a part of the mentoring official were shot dead in separate incidents its acts follow tuesday's market bombings which left more than forty people dead. the turkish military says the bodies of two pilots was jet was shot down by syria two weeks ago have been found the incident deep in 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 with opposition groups failing to unite after a brawl that talks which were meant to move them towards a unity government alongside the regime. a man in an army uniform has wounded five nato troops in eastern afghanistan it's the specter of being another so-called green on blue attack where afghan police or soldiers turn on

international forces earlier this week three british soldiers were killed by an afghan policeman more than twenty foreign personnel have been killed in rogue shootings in afghanistan this year. but the seat that shapes the universe may have finally been discovered by scientists at the large hadron collider the haze boston or god particle is the subatomic matter which started it all and makes up the very fabric of our existence artist peter all over tract 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 because we have non muslims and we believe there but we understand how they leave the basic walls but it doesn't sound to be real because this sort of played on mars and imagine that we have a theory which explain how it goes on mars and this is done using the things was

unwelcome just completed a month a 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. but not. brings us the latest on are that now closed russian markets it was all quiet on the western front today how was it in terms of trading here in moscow well in moscow it actually was a successful day for day in a row of gains that we're seeing meanwhile the russian markets again were outperforming global markets let's take a look at what's also trading right now that's european markets in europe the footsie is up slightly while the dax is again moderately down in london of course

in the spotlight we've got dive in the former c.e.o. of barclays he's being questioned in that part of it that's interesting to look at the view if you want to find some details obviously are very little over on the internet. with the details of of him being pretty much grilled right now on the dax we're seeing declines over the banks and drug makers losing value tomorrow is a very important day of course we've got monetary policy meetings in the within the e.c.b. and the bank of england so that's something to look into to find whether there will be further stimulus measures. accepted on the market what's going on in the commodities market and their own anticipation that there will be signs of more stimulus we're seeing declines in the oil price although. the oil price is supported somewhat by fears over the military drills that iran is continuing to

conduct also on the commodities markets food prices will rise as a fifth of america's crops face damage from the drought wheat corn and soybean prices are at four year highs the big grain exporter russia one of the top three is also seeing heavy rains which of pushing prices up further some experts fear countries will not bring back the export bans will now bring back the actual bans that we saw during the summer extremes of two thousand and ten to guarantee supply and. on the currency market the russian ruble is slightly weakening against the basket of currencies notably because the dollar is gaining weight as investors worldwide are cashing out into the greenback and the euro is actually losing value against both the ruble and the dollar. and russia as i said the fourth consecutive day of gains with the r.t.s. is barely adding i'm not sure my six is at a half a percentage points take

a look at some interesting stocks on the my sex row snafu was down along with oil prices it's continuing its buyback program now where it's already spent two billion dollars on that. down point nine percent of the securing a loan from right now to modernize and is up slightly as it's up production. and also capital outflow from russia significantly declined in the second quarter of the year this time investors took out nine and a half billion dollars just a furred of the volume that we saw in the first three months of the year however so far this year capital outflows have amounted to forty three billion dollars which is almost twice as much as the same period in two thousand and eleven so really indeed a pretty quiet day all right thanks for that update nevertheless. then up next here on r t peter the bells cross talk looks at whether iran can cope on its own that's

after the habits. of. culture is that so much seven and there's a huge music issue on the market foreign occupation may have formally ended six months ago but this country's woes are accomplished and getting worse there is political paralysis.
