your makes it into the paris impact it will be blind rejecting the agreement which could have led to big corporations cut off people's web access. their victory for the opposition who has been saying that it is a grave threat to individual freedoms will do wonders for all the details in a few moments. also this hour war words i just spewed over a law that allows a russian to be used in ukraine seas of riot police tackle angry crowds in kiev. leave minute march third that gave us all those scientists claim they are a step closer to discovering the elusive god particle which could explain how everything in the universe exists.

this is r.t. coming to life for moscow hello and welcome to the program first a sigh of relief from europe's internet users the e.u. parliaments rejecting. the notorious online piracy treaty or after the counterfeiting trade agreement was drafted to protect internet corporate laws but met with widespread outrage in europe for threatening people's work freedom now brussels correspondent seen days following to the. 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 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 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 and my colleague and he said now is spoke with the citizen advocacy group founded termes of m n and who believes that corporate lou was should be reformed but not at the expense of online. 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 and there are already on the table of the e.u. policy makers about reforming copyrights 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 certainly people are going to be arguing that ditching actually could be a green light for pirates in france just openly to fight 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 to culture and it is a fundamental right it is copyright that should be adapted to society and not the other way around and not through a park democratic process through act up but within parliaments with citizens being heard. all right what's your view on europe's arcs and let us know on our website which is our team so far the vast majority of you almost seventy percent say that the big corporations behind the law will just print brander's about sixteen percent think it's as good as just a tenth of you. at all certain that the agreement means

a book they greenlit means actually and while just a few saying they defeat is cause for parents and for the truth to rejoice in ways where you can add your voice. and while you're online be sure to try to out all the stories were lined up for you so iran. would wipe out the u.s. military presence in the middle east with an minutes after going to use in a massive military x. the size of hundreds of missiles launched a lot. as an american who on a trial very positive roughly twenty percent and don't even know their country approves the level to head to diagnose things. find out more and how to use it. a little in ukraine to recognize russian as an official language in some regions has seen hundreds protesting police fired tear gas and angry crowds after the

ukrainian parliament the rada approved along with the debate president here because he will consult x. those before signing the law critics fear it will die 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 politicians have been getting physically as archie's alexy yourself here reports. 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 deputy police he 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 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. 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 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 the media 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. hundred more stories ahead for you this hour while more heads roll at u.k. buying software the libel scandal british m.p.'s put forward barclays treats have been milked to explain how one crews were able to damage the economy for profit. large corporate greed also comes under fire in america where independence day is marked by march against the one percent who demonstrators claim have turned their banks on the valleys of the planting gardens. the seeds that shaves the universe may have finally been discovered by scientists at the large

hadron collider behaves bo's'n or so-called god particle is this subatomic matter which scientists believe started it all and makes up the very fabric of our existence people 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 nor masses and we believe we understand how they leave the basic walls but it doesn't sound to be real because this sort of laid on her muscles and imagine that we have a theory which explain how it could go their muscles and this is none using the things was and will come just completely month 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. barca's bias former boss has been grilled by british to explain it he was involved and what he knew about the fixing of 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 has asked his south london. if that hasn't been the smoking gun that many people were wondering if we 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 he looked visibly uncomfortable and he's being very very elusive when he has 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 is reprehensible at one point he says when he saw all of the e-mails relating to the great rigging the level rate rigging 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 those 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 book done instead the question has an answered 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 since 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 on the 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 fred into all day 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 going to say much wider as we said than just a few individuals and that's really what 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 day which is 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 power probably incompetent very few people really have paid any price within the banks then we had this incredible review of money where the government for some reasons that are really no one don't need to themselves swarm the banks with money but effectively didn't get a good pint of flesh out of them to reform the system and then we've got this situation knowing we're 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 in 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 rushes to terrorise kmita says one of the dead was a gang leader who'd lost a mind of assassination attempts in the region a second operation in the republic sought to further the militants killed by a police officer died in the gunfight early on wednesday forty militants were arrested in the city of s. have you worked as part of the wider and it terrorist crackdown. protesters from across the u.s. have gathered in philadelphia for a mass occupy wall street demo on independence day twenty six demonstrators were

arrested on sunday and have been charged with disorderly contact any occupy movement began last september in new york protesting against corporate greed and the gap between the very rich and the rest of america and through the stacks our plates our economy so every movement will gain momentum until the last government to correct the country's economic. 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 a car we want to create a time period for the occupier to reflect on where we want to get to how we're going to get there and what we need to do next to to make progress in this new deal see surprising future ahead with lots of unexpected turns and i expect this was not going to go away the idea of the wealth of our united states being unfair where foreign people have the wealth of half the population and pay much less in

a tax rate and in rest the population just isn't fair economy and that's not going away in the government's not responding to us and so intil got a response and gropes is this imbalance you're going to see this occupy movement go . a look at some other stories making news around the world this hour when wednesday's seem more deadly violence against shiites in a rug i can blast claimed at least eleven lives one of exploded at a market in central iraq another twenty eight were heard by a separate explosion in this south east of baghdad elsewhere in the capital two policemen and a pall of mentoring official were shot dead in separate incidents attacks follow choose day's market bombings which left more than forty people dead. as the bodies of both pilots who was shot down by syria two weeks ago have been retrieved from the sea where the incidents led to be filling up its military activity on the ground to syria in the meantime it's still rocked by violence with dozens killed

during the last twenty four hours syrian refugees including military servicemen are fleeing into turkey from their war torn country peace is still hard to find with brawls at him during the formation of a unity government between the opposition and our science regime. a man wearing army uniform opened fire on nato troops in eastern afghanistan injuring five he made a quick getaway and just appeared in a nearby village earlier this week three british soldiers were killed by a rogue are going to policeman overall more than twenty four in personnel have died in the country this year in so-called green on blue attacks when national security officials to nominate her forces. up next for what was true to inside explains why she switched sides to join the occupy movement in the interview today with that.

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 r.t. 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 meiji you cynical bitter or 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 had 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 on 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 banks it'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 is in this person that 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 where 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 through 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 i guess you money if i can say that and so if you have f. you 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 much 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 state of the line this 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 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 this 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 have to leave 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
