on our team tonight europe makes it into that piracy pact walk the plank rejecting the agreement which could have been big corporations cut off people's web access. to victory for the opposition who has been saying that it is a grave threat to individual freedoms will join me for all the details in a few moments. also war of words the dispute over a law allowing russian to be used in ukraine since riot police tackle angry crowds in kiev. and the minute matter that gave us all this scientist they finally found the elusive god particle which could explain how everything in the universe exists.

very good evening from moscow it's nine pm wednesday night here my name is kevin zero in this is our top story a sigh of relief from europe's internet users tonight earlier today the e.u. parliament rejected that notorious online piracy treaty active the anti counterfeiting trade agreement was drafted to protect internet copyright laws but it met with wide outrage in europe for threatening people's web freedom apostles' correspondent tests riseley reports. 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 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

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 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 corresponding europe to the co-founders strategic advice reverse of a governor has a group called richard in it he's in paris philip hello the rejections believed to be largely jewish as mentioning just in terms of pressure from citizens across europe well ways of protecting copyright do these people propose instead what is the option. well. as you or your reporter just summarized there was a wide outrage not just for me from specialty that specialized groups that defend internet freedom such ourselves but. by much more general

population of citizens because they have seen the one project of this treaty as being driven by a set of limited interest. simply want to turn v.m. telnet in what was their former word but it's a word with a limited number of channels which may control words where the public just listens or use time shifts but doesn't create works doesn't remove its words doesn't share works when we are and we have an overview of the internet we see it as. a major resourceful culture for democracy and so there was really weeding this from an unusual number of people to pose this treaty and this was made stronger opposed by the fact that this treaty was was

negotiated in secret by small groups of nick to see village servants completed review by specialized interests for live large media news story and as a result the parliament in the end was given no choice simply reject or give the sense of a treaty and after a long debate after much interaction we've seen in society a very wide gradual everything has rejected these two days plus it do you think though if it didn't handle differently we talk about the secrecy that this part was drawn up and if it had been handled a different way do you think it would have taken a different path maybe today. no i think the secrecy. because they wanted to reach objectives were to work clearly and accepted in a democratic arena so you know if if if you had been no secrecy if he had been.

a democratic debate on what should be the content of the treaty then it would have been a completely different treaty and then that's what we are going to see now because i think we do. the rejection of act as a kind of general reset for thinking about copyright reform adapting our regulatory and policy framework to be good usually always and i hope we really see it do you think we'll see a watered down version of actor in some form or other coming online in the next year or two i mean it's estimated that europe loses up to eight billion euros a year in product piracy alone you can't really expect firms like us to sit back and allow people to continue damaging that revenue can you. well i think. we will see what versions of act coming. and enormous mistake that was

made. under pressure of libby's. two to meeks. the defense against fake products all come to a fee to trademark so whatever together we have a fight against noncommercial or or or provision of sarah pieces to file sharing and so now i think the end of a regular regulator. is faced with a choice either it continues with considering but eradicating file sharing. everything people are doing trying to dissuade them from doing for busy could. be in town that is book priority and then they will do things that are similar to act and the result would be that we use the opposition again and it will fail or

they will start considering they have to differentiate between what. could commercial counterfeiting and food or possibly dangerous. trade those projects about have been are not to the specific mission at which issue do it it should be and on the over side of a busy activity of. ten at age. seven position then the question will not be do we do a what act it will be what else do we do that is about america phillips thanks for your thoughts much appreciated philip and the from of the civil advocacy group the net live from paris thanks ever so much. story the table to know what you think about it of course you can tell us online at r.t. dot com tell us about the actor rejection you have this is what you're saying there is the graph for even more of you it seems to join the majority of which believe

the corporations just rebranded but a fifth of you think it's as good as dead in the water eleven percent say not quite certain things in the first place just a few of you think it's cause for the pirates and fraudsters to rejoice it is a complicated story taking what you say r.t. dot com is where you can add your voice to. up ahead here on r t with me kevin no internet watching the whistleblower in the sands waits to hear if he can get asylum in ecuador we bring you the key moments of his news making series produced under house arrest and shown here on this channel. also payback time barclays bank dumped boss has been given a grilling over who when you walked in the break fixing scandal that cost him his job and am. next a law in ukraine to recognize russian as an official language in some regions is seen hundreds protesting kiev police fired tear gas at the angry crowds after

ukrainian parliament the rather approved of all over the place present on a covert says he'll consoled experts before he signs the law critics fear it will die you. increase moscow's influence if russian is used in official business is by no means the first time tempers of run high in ukraine either but in recent years it's been the see the politicians be getting physical. another day another brawl while ukraine's parliament deliberated over a controversial language law deputies use their fists to let their feelings know one of the central figures in another recent scandal bronchial region's deputy but you can see says he was attacked by opposition politicians while trying to address the moment. when you 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 i 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 moscow on the stand that leaves 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 given that. 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 where there is not a factor but still it's democratic but that former deputy now political analyst the

media very very intense 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 hear all. a dip in just table it is an endless source for improvisation i've 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 hang one's back 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 finds rather have the sack to press accordions. we should televise mine on the parliament channel favorite t.v. show certainly hit the screens national wind 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 let's see reporting from key in ukraine. buckley's banks former boss has been grilled by british m.p.'s to explain who was involved and what he knew about the fixing of interest rates is wrong whether bob diamond will implicate senior figures ranging from the bank of england to the top levels of previous governments. in london. really that hasn't been the smoking gun that many people were wondering if we'd see it's been a bit more of a damp squid actually to be honest with the we've seen him being questioned for a number of hours now and he hasn't been giving much away at all at the beginning of the questioning and he looked visibly uncomfortable and he seemed very very elusive when he seemed sort of quizzed a little bit harder by some as they send peace a little bit disappointing what we have seen from him say far he described the

actions is reprehensible at one point he says when he saw the e-mails relating to the. believe. that he felt physically ill will say to a lot of people remember this really does have a huge impact it's said that this rigging that went on at barclays will have affected homeowners it will have affected businesses so you know that really just takes it back to the importance of this questioning and a lot of people feel already that it is simply hasn't been strong enough and that the m.p.'s who were there leading these questions just on hitting him hard enough on necessarily asking the right questions be seeing the deputy governor of the bank of england paul tucker he submitted himself for questioning to try and clear up some of the issues that surround the speculation over the telephone call between him and the former chief executive bob diamond now both done instead the questioning has an answer to any of these questions directly about what exactly

happened there but we know a lot of people are wanting to know now what exactly happened he was involved did senior white who figure is know about what was going on to the bank of england about what was going on and did they condone it and that's really some of the big questions that we haven't seen on the what you're seeing bob diamond d. today in questioning we're seeing a lot of political class nothing is really trying to distance and suffered until they separations but i mean it's given us an insight really into the very uncomfortably. relationship that is enjoyed by the city and by the politicians in this country and it's really gets a much wider than just individuals that's really what prompted calls for a complete overhaul of the whole fifty i mean it's not just barclays bank implicated here of course you've got the bank of england under scrutiny now you've also got it called into question as to why after the last big financial quite this

the government didn't do what they said they were going to do which is clean up the city. of london britain could restrict immigrants from greece as well as other eurozone citizens the prime minister david cameron says it's an option on the table in case of what he calls extraordinary stresses and strains caused by europe's sovereign debt crisis right now becoming hopes that doesn't happen and will do whatever it takes to keep britain and its economy safe concerns mounting in the country though of a wave of migrants from struggling states like greece or spain if their economies continue spiraling down as were the georgie from britain's new statesman political magazine he told me restricting greig's entry to the u.k. that would be illegal. there's never been a situation in which one e.u. member states has been allowed to limit immigration from from a long standing e.u. member state it's true to say that the transitional controls can be and have been imposed on the new e.u. members such as the european assertion countries but the movement of people is one

of the fundamental principles of the treaty and i think it's very hard to see britain's being able to delegate from that it's true to say that that countries are taking a more skeptical view of immigration and certainly in times of recession. the far right party is right wing parties tend to win more support and so that puts pressure on. moderate centrist leaders to x. the problem is that under article eighteen of the e.u. treaty. it's your band basically from discriminating according to nationality and so if you wanted to. controls greece you'd have to impose controls on immigration from every country and is cameron going to accept a situation in which u.k. citizens are unable to work and live in the rest of the u. i do think he is. it's a waiting game for whistleblower julian assange and she's currently at the ecuador

embassy in london seeking asylum while sweden is still pushing for extradition to question on sex charges and the u.s. is circling to get hold of him for the just the knowledge during his months on the british house arrest produced a much talked about interview series that aired here on r.t. in fact just wrapped up for a smith has got its key moments. from julian assange. through where he will be exposed the world secrets these documents belong the united states government being attacked by the united states strongly condemn what. it promised an insight into the world tomorrow and in twelve episodes julian assange interviewed opinion formers and activists from across the political spectrum. 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 it reformats i really want to be carried out because the alternative to that i know what the cause of the first season was inside syria because of the sensitivity of the situation in syria to alternatives to us that is 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 the drums horowitz maintains europe is dead agrees it was a disastrous spirit europe europe is a cultural theme park in significant that's what happened that's what you're welcome. it just took us out of the. experience with

a socialist dream paradise of sweden and i can tell you it is nothing like you have opposing the global politics sea change also made waves for 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 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 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 represents to five the times i'll miss it looking forward to season two of julian assange 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 would have well forcing. and 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 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 is really a pleasure to meet you julian least in this way will be a welcome to the club of the persecuted. thank you. take care. trust has given us a glimpse into the future shape of the world we live in while his own future hangs precariously in the balance laura smith london. well if you mr david or indeed just saw you liked it so much you want to see it all again june this entire series ready and waiting to stream whenever you want to watch it at our website r t v dot com which what else we got there tonight well i'll tell you a few of them anyway claims that a long time palestinian leader yasser arafat had come to light that he was poisoned by polonium we've got a report on the details supposedly shedding light on these deaths on our web site.

and pictures of the stunt jump which gave the russian devils a swinging time be a video is online again r.t. dot com. next there's talk about the sea that shapes the universe because it may finally have been discovered by scientists at the large hadron collider the higgs post or god particle is the subatomic matter which started it all that makes up the very fabric of our existence that is peter all of a trace is genesis them. 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 norm ourselves and we believe there but we understand how they leave the basic walls but that doesn't sound to be real because this sort of played on mars and imagine that we have a theory which explains 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 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. questions will be asked about that later dimitri yeah you know so i read an article today about the with the higgs boson and i understood a lot of articles and propositions and and then the wise have to say right ok let's about business quote it is absolutely quiet you can hear the ticking of the clock seriously because the u.s. markets are closed for independence day so there's not a lot of trading going on actually elsewhere volumes have been thirty to forty percent lower than usual let's take a look at the closing of the european markets we saw the footsie and the dax

declining just slightly as i said on a very low volumes the most interesting thing going on was the grilling of bob diamond the former c.e.o. of barclays by the british parliament you can look that up if you want also something to look into is manchester united have sees. its filed for a listing in new york. expecting to rake in one hundred million dollars and see how that goes on the commodities markets we're seeing oil well moving like a cent a minute or something because it's only electronic trading going on right now and it's declining around how the dollar feel like sweets and that's on the expectations that tomorrow when we have a monetary policy meetings both would be c.b. and the bank of england there might be some kind of indication of more stimulus onto the markets also in commodities food prices are expected to rise as a fifth of america's crops face damage from the drought wheat corn and soybean

prices for your eyes that's the way they closed on tuesday at least big grain exporter russia among the top three is also seeing heavy rains which have pushed prices up further and some experts fear countries will now bring back the export bans we saw during the summer extremes of two thousand and ten to guarantee supply at home. on the currencies markets also inch by inch sure the euro is going down versus the dollar as some experts some investors say cashing out into the greenback and the russian ruble also source in the picture was losing value against these all the gaining slightly versus the euro that's after a huge jump on tuesday against both sides now on the stock markets russia in a quiet trading managed to post the fourth day of gains in the final minutes of pretty much all of the trading session was down throughout most of the day and with my six gaining top of the center on the ruble let's take a look at what was moving the mice a several interesting stories there ross now followed the oil price after vials was

down point one percent as the secure the loan from its partner ran out to modernize the cars and. was still bucking the trend throughout the whole day it's up just a notch actually at the close as it's up production fifty percent. and also capital outflow from russia significantly declined in the second quarter of the year this time investors took nine billion dollars out of the country just a third of the volume in the first three months of the year so far this year capital flows have amounted to forty three billion dollars which is almost twice as much as the same period in two thousand level but at least it's slowing down so there's some good news for you and i can use my my business update when we see again two hours actually i think you will see me on friday. war ok more on the way as well the headlines kind of shortly when america's beleaguered manufacturing sector is in the spotlight here one out.
