9:04 pm
which they have. remained is the dominant force in the egyptian state as it remains today and the. state which was so discredited under mubarak actually really good in my eyes and strengthened by incorporating new social forces like the muslim brotherhood there was no revolution in egypt a state power a means in the hands of the same institutions and class the brotherhood represents no fundamental break with. egypt's role in the u.s. dominated wall capitalist economy or of great u.s. interests in the middle east the u.s. remains the dominant power it's trying to maintain that dominance in the new situation with new tactics in the wake of the arab spring as people are rising up

against the old order of the us to. me their grip on this region. well as slew of the new cuts that are supposed to reduce spain's national deficit by sixty billion euros has led to new eruption of public anger and protests in that country rallies over the week quickly turned violent when police charged and beat demonstrators while firing rubber bullets more than seventy people were injured in the clashes yesterday cuts driving all this trouble include tax hikes and the promise of painful pension changes the protesters say that they are the ones who are being made to pay for the mistakes of politicians. the bankers and the measures at issue were demanded by spain's e.u. creditors who have pledged to madrid a vital bailout for crippled spanish banks now gonzalo lira he's the founder of the lira dot com crisis planning organization says that he expects more violence to
9:06 pm
come. into the basically the banks as you're famously called but they are unwilling to do the forms that need to be done and so far as the banking system is concerned and the banks profits are obscene the fact that these governments are bailing them out continuously is just simply that i'm conscionable now of course the people realize he is and they are upset about it but of course the politicians do absolutely nothing to rein in the part of the banks and instead without police to start to be very vocal about it cracking now as we continue to have these benefits we're going to see we want to be more social unrest this is led politicians to assume that more force is needed to maintain the peace and this of course needs more violence against people against the people means more protests have the law as it is there they are squeezed economically socially and politically and so i would expect to see more and more protests turned violent and more and more. growth in
9:07 pm
the extreme political parties as these extremist parties begin to make political hay out of people's discontent we're going to see this in spain we see it in italy and we're going to see in france in the near term going to be the next year or two and so i would this is just the beginning we're going to see a lot worse. well dire predictions there for the images that we're seeing on the streets of spain these days are quite similar to what we saw in greece over the past few years there of course tear gas molotov cocktails and lines of riot police are no longer a common sight and sort of the long instead a long standing public anger is now taking on new forms of expressions and artie's jacob green reports. greek streets of come to embody and tear stare to rage in the eurozone huge crowds have marched to voice their anger. with discontent fooling on deaf ear is different tools have also been employed for me the goofy t. shirt on the capitals is simply an eyesore but for others it's
9:08 pm
a chance to keep their message keep their demonstration alive with nobody else on the streets protesting. with aerosols rather than amplifiers their outrage has left a lasting impact around greece. going by the name of muppets he largely uses graffiti to combat the growth in far right racism is taking the country by storm but others target the government's relationship with major euro zone play is an impact it's had on a desperate population we can see here. and the money that the politicians spend about buying things we don't really want that military hardware was acquired from germany the official who bought it now resides in prison on charges of corruption some works appear to be more angry schools than art an outlet for
9:09 pm
a generation that feels forgotten others a more direct attempt to sway the opinion of a nation but all a relatively new forms of activism we don't have an experience of this kind in the past mainly because since i was born in cleese or a couple of years later after the germans left greece as an occupying force it's been it's been an upward ruled all the way he's last two or three years have been greece's first experience of going down rather than upward a stalled economy is soaring jobless rate a feud much of the anger from the podium to the problem not in. recently the e.u. years old and i.m.f. troika are being depicted as the reapers of greece of domestic politicians the subjects when the. new democracy and. it means that. you need to win. sentiment that's growing and was the government continues to do

with the eurozone imposed austerity the right thing for greece is ready on the wall j.q. greece athens well why is it that so many bankers often walk away scot free from scandals that shake entire economies that's not be the focus of the kaiser report in the next hour max of course is an ex wall street broker himself and so has a bunch of insider tips for those craving to get rich quick. on wall street they know that if they get caught they of course are going to get away with it because regulators change the laws to accommodate the crimes this is over and over and over again there's no barrier anymore for committing crimes there's no punitive damages there's there's no there's no you know i don't understand why most people don't get their broker's license and their banking license is not that hard to do you can get a series of a broker license and three or four months you take the series of an exam and you
9:11 pm
can make a million dollar stealing money out and it's foolish not to think you know why not why don't more people do it i it was a broker i stole millions but it got boring after a while i left the business or just got so boring stealing money there's no challenge to it and i'm thinking you know it's got to be something to do that's more interesting than just calling people up all day and stealing their money. a really disturbing story a protester has reportedly set himself on fire during protests in tel aviv this as thousands of israelis have gathered for a nationwide demonstrations are marking one here since the start of a movement for social justice now this video footage of the incident as a protester twichell itself after meeting an apparent suicide note a demonstrator is now being treated for injuries in the hospital campaigners and israel had hoped the anniversary would give second wind to their demands for better public services such as health education and housing earlier we spoke to activist

government's encroaching surveillance of its citizens that was attempt to finally leave his post now he says he wants to make sure that all americans are aware of how their privacy is being violated the fundamental thing that's eating away at the at the real foundation of this country is the same buying that's going on internally in the united states against some of our own people you know when you had the freedom to do think you could try things and you had but you felt that this country would let you try things and now you're starting to sense the senses that people are getting is that they're spying on us trying to control us when you should do certain things and not other things do you think julian assange in some way provided a good service to americans yeah absolutely because it's freedom of information it makes people in government accountable for their actions but the majority of people here are a few supporters of freedom of information that's essential. this seeming that you leave

to bomb with a team by colonel has a son. right well in an ideal world political campaigns should highlight a candidate strengths but in reality they're often used to personally attack opponents so are these kinds of political smear tactics fair or foul well let's take a look at what people on the streets of the big apple have to say here is the latest report from the resident in new york. this is the year of important elections the world around and many of them involve dirty negative campaigning are you ok with that this week let's talk about that john of can he would have never got elected. today would his lifestyle the womanizing enormous yes absolutely absolutely is that a good thing that politicians go there or is it better we just don't know it's very don't know because it's going to do with being a politician i don't think we have to mix politics with personal. life yet but if
9:24 pm
it helps someone get elected is that ok. i don't think so if one can do is doing towards another i think that's a little unfair but if both are going back and forth which they normally are i think it's completely fair it's all part of the game in politics and i think that it's a fair point is that like that and now when all you know you this is crazy about that they are all racists more calm or do they stick to the issues yes so do you feel like more gets done that way yeah i think so it's not all about the personal lives and who's left who is the public so dumb that we don't recognize it's all spin and fluff why aren't we demanding more i don't think we're dumb we're just complacent we want to be taken care of we don't really care we think it's going to be ok and we really don't feel like we have a. voice how is it in denmark well not us bad and. well
