europe makes an internet piracy part of the movie blank rejecting their agreement which could have led big corporations can't old people's web access be a victory for the opposition was been saying that our is a grave threat to individual freedom small glumly for all the details in a few moments. also this hour war of words the dispute over a long haul that allows a russian to be used in ukraine sees a rise of bullies angry crowds in kiev. but minutes not that it gave us only scientists claim they are a step closer to discovering the elusive god particle which could explain how everything in the universe except.

you so russia and around the world with me you know our thanks for joining us first sign of relief from europe's internet users the e.u. parliaments rejecting the notorious online piracy treaty actor the count of feasting trade agreement was drafted to protect internet laws but much with widespread outrage in europe for threatening people's web freedom brussels correspondent tests are seen these foreign developments. 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 us 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 emailing any piece signing petitions 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 and those kind of pirate party u.k.

and he says actions journey might not be of interest here it. there is possibly more to come it's worth saying that even european commission is still making noises to the fact that this might not be the end of the road to act there's still the question of the european courts or carol i think it's worth pointing out that atta was not just rejected it was comprehensively crushed what's really clear is that it was a fundamental mistake to try and mix so many different things together but also equally it's a fundamental mistake to try and negotiate to such a treaty behind closed doors but it also without countries like russia india and china and it's typical arrogance of western countries to imagine we can just push something through i think it's now time for our representatives to stop and think

it's clear that it's becoming increasingly politically poisonous to be anti internet so it's time to listen to citizens voices. so what's your view on europe so let us know on our website and so far the vast majority of you almost seventy percent say that they big corporations behind the law will just were branded about seventy percent think it's good and dead and just over a turn so you aren't at all certain that the agreement was that reminds me of the world just the fact that they defeated his cause for piracy and fraudsters to rejoice so always where you can add your voice. to the all stars ahead for you this hour while more heads roll and you can be fined up to the libel scandal written he is putting in more voltage through the mill to explain how buying crews were able to dominate the economy. also corporate greed also

comes under fire in a market way independence day amount by marching against the want the sun demonstrators claim to have turned their backs on bodies of the founding fathers. all right in ukraine to recognize russian as an official language in some regions has seen hundreds protesting police fired tear gas at angry crowds after the ukrainian parliament there rada approved the no with debate president unocal which says consult expos before signing the law critics fear it will dilute ukrainian sovereignty and increase moscow's influence if russian is used in the show business and it's by no means the first time tempers have run high in ukraine but in recent years it's been seething politicians have been getting physical has a look take your shot ski reports. it was.

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 party of regions deputy vice chancellor says he was attacked by opposition politicians while trying to address lawmakers. when they were i had to finish my speech in order to stop the voting five to six people attacked me i'm a former weightlifter 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 want 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 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 someone ukraine's political circles it is in fact democracy in action when you listen to that. 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 vocal methods don't work can only happen in a democratic state it's not effective but still it's democratic. former deputy now political analyst to meet 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 if they maim and seriously injured each other maybe this would have paved we for a new breed of politicians able to actually work effectively. over the years fights in the rather have been attracting impressive audiences they are usually televised live on the parliamentary 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 fist fights 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 kiev in ukraine. barclays bongs former boss has been grilled by british m.p.'s who explain who was involved and what he knew about fixing up interest rates eyes were and

whether bob diamond will implicate senior figures ranging from the bank of england to the top levels of previous government and he's out his side of path and. that hasn't been the smoking gun that many people were wondering if we'd see it's been a bit more of a down squid actually to be honest with you 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's being very very elusive when he's been 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 as reprehensible at one point he says when he saw the e-mails relating to the great rigging believe. that he felt physically ill also do 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 those questions just on hitting him hard enough aren't 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 book done instead the question has an answer to any of these questions directly about what exactly happened there . 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. does the bank of england know about what was going on and did they condone it and that's really some of the big questions that we haven't seen answered who is seeing bob diamond d.

today in questioning we're seeing a lot of political class now doing is really trying to distance himself right into all day separations but i mean it's given us an insight really into the very uncomfortably close relationship that is enjoyed by the city and by the politicians in this country and this really goes so much wider as we said than just a few individuals and that's really what's prompted calls for a complete overhaul of the whole system i mean it's not just barclays bank this is 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 crisis the government didn't do what they said they were going to do which was clean up the city and investment advisor patrick young in london told us that this case isn't just limited to barclays it's a global banking problem. i think there are a lot more scalps to follow here i mean what we've got is a situation where the banks were ultimately during the course of the years running

up to the credit crunch of two thousand and eight two thousand and nine palpably incompetent very few people really have paid any price within the banks then we had this incredible wave of money where the government force reasons that are really no one on need to themselves swarm the banks with money but effectively didn't get a good pint of flesh i did them to reform the system and then we've got this situation oil world of course it's finally come out that what the banks were actually doing was they were manipulating their own interest rates which is basically like having a business and saying you can set the wholesale price and you can set the retail price and ultimately of course they didn't do it in the interests of the consumers they did it in the interests of the banks this is not limited just to london's bankers i mean this is a global financial problem six militants have been killed in two separate operations and russia's southern republic of dagestan say police armed forces cornered four in a house and then storms the building after negotiating with the militants to free

six hostages in the city of peace and intense shootout followed but no officers or civilians were harmed russia's anti-terrorist committee says of one of the dead was a gang leader who had masterminded various assassinations attempts in the region second operation in the republic sort of that the militants killed by police one officer died in the gunfight and earlier on wednesday fourteen militants were arrested in the city of york as part of their wider anti-terrorist squad down. the seeds that shapes the universe may have finally been discovered by scientists the large hundred collider the higgs bosun or the so-called god particle is that subatomic matter which science has believed started it all and makes of the very fabric of our existence pieced all of our traces its tracks. 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 nor masses and we believe there but we understand how the 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. protesters from across the u.s. have gathered in philadelphia for a mass occupy wall street demo on independence day just ahead of the campaign on

sunday twenty six acts of its arrested have been charged which is so what's in a contact and on this one i live by kevin feige is the director our economy kevin thank you very much indeed for your time so you were in philadelphia just yesterday how does this occupy gathering differ from the from that from the ones with seen before. the occupy movement is going through a stage of growth and reflection there are lots of workshops about how to do our job better how to create the car we want to create there's also a lot of fun. and shows to entertain folks and make fun of the one percent the same time today they went through a process of visioning. an open process including people who are not there participating in the vision of the world we want to see so there's a time period for the occupiers reflect on where we want to get to how we get there and what we do next to make promises more police presence has been ramped up ahead

of the me saying it with a massive notch plans to start up and just do you expect any violence to unfold like it did on sunday for instance you know i don't expect though now that the occupy movement is tends to be very strongly nonviolent and you know we haven't seen a lot of miles around the occupy movement the police sometimes get violent but sometimes the police are also you know you treat us well so you can't predict these different things all we can do is do our job which is a get our message out in a nonviolent morgan is way as clear as we can and then we'll see other police players police who toward us and we act with nonviolence a response or support for us will increase in support of the police actions or decrease our hope that we can behave in a nonviolent way and aggressive in nonviolent way so we can go. and also the demonstration was expected to pull in a thousand hits from across the country but the actual turnout was reportedly much

does that suggest the movement is easing the mental. well i think that you're going to even face here about half the states represented at the at the occupy you know that he told of his as a lot of people are coming to come in and get information and go back to their states and share the information and there's lots of activity around the country every occupy has an occupy our homes trying to stop foreclosures and occupy criminal justice dealing with the mass incarceration of americans occupy the free education program so there's a lot going on throughout the country we don't count one gathering is the number is not the key it's really getting people together groups together to share information so that when the next stage of the economic collapse it was terry images come to play where position to expand. according to organizers they can paint is intended to strengthen the occupy activists ability to work together given that there's no clear leadership is that read even possible oh no doubt about it i mean horizontal leadership doesn't mean no leadership means lots of leaders we have

lots of people who are educating themselves getting stronger in understanding how nonviolent resistance can actually change policy how he'd shift power from the one percent to ninety nine percent so and we share that information with people from half the states that goes back to their their general assemblies and to their colleagues doing work all around the country and sort of nation get shared in that builds the whole movement of an even stronger mass leadership in this movement and so i think that actually we are seeing that we're seeing are you by mature become more effective than it was then i think that mean it may not get the corporate media coverage but it's still doing a lot of work the movement started up almost a year ago how do you see the campaigns he chants holding. i use of unfold in a very exciting way very unpredictable way as a very diverse group people involved in diversity leads to creativity you have to remember when rosa park. on the bus in one hundred fifty five in the front of the bus and you divide was until five years later you saw the freedom rides so movements go linear constant upward motion well you know strong once reflection

education planning strategy development in another respect that you'll see surprising future ahead with lots of unexpected turns and i expect this is not going to go away the idea of the wealth of our united states for our people and the wealth of half the population and pay much less in a tax rate than in the rest of the population is an unfair economy and that's not going away in the government's not responding to us and so the kilogramme response and correct sees this imbalance you can see this occupy the growth and it may not be called the occupy movement this protest we need to grow because people want to see the end of corporate rule. power and the people are enhanced right kevin zeese director of the economy thank you very much.

up next a former wall street insider explains why she switched sides to join the occupy movement and stay with. the boob. tube. long. the be. for seven years she was a wall street insider to day she is an occupy wall street activists alexis goldstein

joins me now to talk about her experience in one of america's most profitable industries alexis thank you very much for sitting down with our to thank you for having me since the start of the occupy movement in september two thousand and eleven you may be possibly one of the most vocal wall street insiders in the u.s. to come out and pretty much blow the whistle on the culture there you recently wrote an article saying that wall street made you cynical bitter depressed exhausted and paranoid and you felt everyone was out to screw you you spent seven years there why did you put up with that kind of environment for seven years well i think it's a pretty easy answer you're paid pretty well on wall street and it's also pretty alluring you work with a lot of people that are very smart it's sort of this culture where everyone sort of feels superior and so you're always always jostling for position and so it's very competitive and i'm competitive and i you know in some ways enjoy that

environment and you know you're paid better than really pretty much anywhere where else you work unless maybe you became an entrepreneur and hit it rich so there's a lot of things about it that are very appealing and sort of compel you to stay as long as you can stay in the public often hears the stereotypes of wall street being toxic and pervasive and ruthless but you basically say that's all true can you give me examples of that i mean what how is it as bad as you say face the reason it's so difficult is because no one goes on wall street to help the world everyone goes to wall street to make money and so because everyone is there to make money you're in competition with everyone else and even though almost every bank or i think everything worked out in the most banks on the street you're not allowed to talk about compensation and in some bank that's actually a fireable offense that doesn't stop people from spreading rumors or go. saying about how much other people are made so that's the sort of focus at all times isn't

i being compensated fairly and my being compensated more in this person than i think it does a worse job than i do and so it becomes this this environment of envy and that's not a very comfortable happy place right work it's all about how much money you're making you're in competition with everyone else right there is one bonus pool and there might be sort of sections of the bonus pool for different departments but you're always in competition with others and that makes for i think a pretty toxic environment you say that wall street so-called american dream is to earn enough money so that you can behave in a way that makes the very existence of other people irrelevant if that is the case do you think the financial industry is threatened by the occupy movement i don't know that they are but i think that there is probably going to be a lot of flight from maybe wall street banks to hedge funds at least for the people that can make that move if they are threatened because that still at this point in

this country a fairly unregulated space is the hedge fund space but it is that bubble right so i do think that there probably are people that aren't threatened that much by the occupy movement but i also think it's having some effects on recruiting so i do think it is having a small impact but it's probably not having much of an impact at the very very top because they are so disconnected it's a bubble it's a very insular place and like i said in the article the goal is to make you money if i can say that if you can so if you have a few money you don't really care what's going on in the wider world in the article that you recently wrote you called on your friends who quote still do well behind on wall street to come join the occupy movement how many more wall street employees are out there that share your sentiments you know there's more than you would think a lot of them still are employed though so they act in anonymous capacities and then there's a number of people who have left one of my members in. a former driven. straighter i've worked with someone in the alternative banking working group who is a former quantity there's more of us than you would think and there are

a lot of people on wall street who are disgruntled so that's sort of who the call was out to was my friends that are still there that i know would like to leave but for whatever reason i haven't done so yet in january u.s. president barack obama announced the creation of a residential mortgage backed securities fraud task force since the creation of that unit more than four hundred thousand homes have reportedly been foreclosed on and not one bank or employee has been charged or held accountable for fraud or abuse that led up to the two thousand and eight financial crisis recently you took part in an event in which dozens of americans were volunteering their help to that task force you were out on the streets. a few people were arrested can you tell me more about that event so it is to the. task force there's five

co-chairs of the task force they don't have an executive director yet but they have these five co-chairs the co-chairs whose office we had a sit in in is that is attorney general eric schneiderman of new york he was recently profiled in this magazine the american prospect and he said basically i need everyone out there to help to make this as strong and thorough of an investigation as it needs to be so we had big signs with his quote on it about the strong and thorough investigation and we were chanting outside literally we're here to help we're here to help there's a lot of questions about this task force there's a lot of questions that we have there's a lot of questions that the public has about you know why do we only have fifty people right now if you compare that to the enron investigation there were one hundred people and that was just one company you compare it to savings and loan there were a thousand we have seen no arrests and the ironic thing about the sit in was even though we were peaceful and we were talking with a rep from the schneider. as office would come down they did not call the police but the building manager did call the police and the police were on the megaphone

saying you know you have to we got to we've even though we were having a very you know full discussion with the rep from the office and then the police decided to arrest four of the protesters for trespassing and so we now have four people who are arrested for going to the office and trying to ask questions and trying to offer assistance but we still have no no arrests for anyone who been responsible for bringing down the economy thank you very much for time thank you for having me. well with. science technology innovation all the developments around russia we've got the future covered. destry claims the process is perfectly.

sees it's clear says that it brings nothing but our income for. the environment knows better and the industry isn't telling the whole story. they're goddamn liars. they're here to. make as much money as they can and get the hell out of your. mind. which brightened if you want about someone from funds to question.
