year of makes an internet piracy pact would be blind rejecting the agreement which could have led big corporations can talk people whether access. to victory for the opposition while been saying that is a grave threat to individual freedom small drama for all the details in a few moments. or words a dispute over a law that allows the brushing to begin is in ukraine it sees a riot police taco angry crowds in kiev. the minute matter that gave us all this is scientists claim they are a step closer to discovering the elusive god particle which could explain everything in the universe of this.

international news live from moscow this is ass he was me thanks for joining us for a sigh of relief from europe's internet users the e.u. parliament's rejects has the notorious online piracy treaty act or the counterfeiting trade agreement was drafted to protect internet corporate laws but met with widespread outrage in europe for threatening people's where freedom brussels correspondent elise following developments. 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 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 my colleague and he said now it spoke with the citizen

advocacy group found germany's german and hey believes that corporate clues should be reformed but not at the expense of online uses. this victory must be the beginning of something else and through the victory an actor 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 all 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 already on the table of the e.u. policymakers 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 action 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 remakes we are all participants to to go through any of these are fundamental rights it is copyright that should be adapted to society and not the other way around and not through a park. process and through art but within parliaments with citizens being heard and what's your view of europe let us know on our website and with homeland so far the vast majority of you almost seventy percent say that the big corporations behind the law will just rebranded about sixteen percent think it's as good as dead just at times have you aren't at all certain what this agreement means i'll just

a few saying that defeat these crews for pirates and fraudsters to ensure it's so common is where you can add your voice. and while you're online be sure to check out other stories were lined up to give iran. why you are a military presence in the mideast more than minutes after completing a massive military exercise with hundreds of missiles launched. in the class of all those in america h.i.b. positive roughly twenty percent don't even know it now the country approves the first ever home test kit to diagnose the condition find out more on how to use it. a low in ukraine to recognize russian as official language in some regions has seen hundreds of protests and police fired tear gas at angry crowds after the ukrainian parliament the rada approved the law without debate president bush says he'll

consult at first before signing the law critics fear it'll. sovereignty and increase moscow's influence if russia has use. in official business and it's by no means the first time tempers have run high in ukraine but in recent years it's seen as saving politicians getting physical as an exit here chefs carol and. i another day another brawl while ukraine's parliament deliberated over 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. i had to finish my speech in order to start 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 know when we do. 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 his table is an endless source for improvisation and 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 the way 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 they all favorite t.v. show will certainly hit the screens national wide again almost three years that have been relatively calm politically in this country and ukrainians have 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. inside this building looks to be reporting from in ukraine the seeds that changes the universe may have finally been discovered by scientists said the large hadron collider the higgs bosun or so-called god particle is the subatomic matter which scientists believe started it all and make some of the very fabric of our existence speak to all of our 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 is 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 nor masses and we believe 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 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 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 and mastery ahead. for you this hour while more heads of all that u.k. buying stuff have been liable for scandal british m.p.'s put forward by treaty through the mail to explain buying things were able to damage the economy. plus corporate greed also comes under fire in america were independent days marked by a march eighth against the one percent demonstrators claim had turned their backs

on the value of the founding by. the greek socialist party pasok has reacted angrily to the british p.m.'s initiative to limit immigration to the u.k. from struggling countries the party says the possible restriction would have made all the e.u.'s principle and rules david cameron said on wednesday that it was an option to the table on the table in the band he called extraordinary stresses and strains caused by europe's sovereign debt crisis and there is growing fear in the case of a new wave of migrants from european states in financial crisis but cameron says he hopes to avoid a crowd down on immigration and george eaton from the british political magazine new statesman is that the limiting greeks entry to the u.k. would be. there's never been a situation in which one e.u. member states has been allowed to limit immigration reform for a long standing e.u.

member state is it's true to say that it's transitional controls can be and have been imposed on the new e.u. members such as the european assertion countries but the premier event of people is one of the fundamental principles of the treaty and i think it's very hard to see britain being able to delegate from that it's true to say 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 supports 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 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 camera going to accept

a situation in which case citizens are unable to work and live in the rest of the u. i do think years meanwhile barclays bikes form of bonds has been grilled by british and p's to explain who was involved and what he knew by the fixing of interest rates eyes were on whether bob diamond to implicate senior figures ranging from their bank of england to their top levels of previous government and he's asked his son have. and if that hasn't been the smoking gun that many people will 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 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 the legal rate rigging that he felt physically ill will so you 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 the scene the deputy governor of the bank of england paul tucker he's 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 answered but you're seeing bob diamond d. today in questioning we're seeing a lot of the 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. it's relationship that is enjoyed by the city and by the politicians in this country and it's 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 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 with 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 on 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. protesters from across the u.s. have gathered in philadelphia for a mass occupy wall street demo on independence day trying to say it's going to strangers were arrested on sunday and have been charged with disorderly conduct so your profile movement began last september in new york protesting against corporate greed and the gap between their beverage and the rest of america and kevin sees director of its own economy says the movement will gain momentum until he was a governor to correct the country's economic imbalance. the occupy movement is going through a stage of growth and reflection there were lots of workshops about how to do our job better how to create a car we want to create time period for the occupier to reflect on where we want to get to how going to get there and when we need you next to to make progress and you'll see surprising future ahead with lots of unexpected turns and i expect

there's no it's not going to go away the idea of the well to our united states being inferior for our people of the world for half the population and a 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 respond to us and so until we got a response and gropes is this imbalance you're going to see this occupy movement go under look at some more news making headlines this hour wednesday see more deadly violence against the wrong a car blast plane at least eleven lives one exploded at a market in central iraq another twenty eight were hated by a separate explosion in the southeast of baghdad elsewhere in the capital two policemen on to parliamentary fishel was shot dead in separate incidents that says day's market bombings which left more than forty people dead. the borders of both pilots whose child was shot down by syria two weeks ago have been retrieved from the seabird incidence and led to an karrar beefing up its

military on hold on syria in the meantime it's to rob violence of dozens killed during the last twenty four hours syrian refugees including military servicemen are fleeing into turkey from their water country he says still hard to find a withdraw all troops entering the formation of a unity government between the opposition and assad's regime. and up next in the interview. explaining why she switched sides to join the occupy movement stay with us.

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 major you cynical 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 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 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 at some banks it's actually a fireable offense that doesn't stop people from spreading rumors or gay. 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 isn't this person that i think it does have 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 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 a 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 effect 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 and 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 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 the misc passage 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 eventually 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 in is 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 compared 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. his 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 leave you have to leave even though we were having a very fruitful 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 .

there hasn't been a thing yet on t.v. . it is to get the maximum political impact. before source material is what helps keep journalism honest we. we want to present. something else.
