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 since the sense is 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 you know absolutely because it's freedom of information it makes people in government accountable for. their actions but the majority of people here are supporters of freedom of information that's essentially the same thing that you leave us on set or penalty and inspired him to read we can we
11:10 pm
subsequently to schools what's it like in formation of governments around the world according to me or you know we're not artsy. well the war over privacy just biological in the next two years the u.s. department of homeland security could install a new laser based molecular scanner second learn all kinds of personal information about you up to fifty meters away now this new technology is going to be capable of detecting traces of explosives drugs as well as even things like what you have for lunch that day all without your knowledge you know these machines are reportedly going to be installed at airports and border crossings to ensure security but according to independent journalist charlie mcgrath they could be used for more sinister purposes. look at the fact that we're now it's like drones for domestic law enforcement around the country of course we're going to see disparate to the general public we will be under the eye of big brother going to hear that argument from the mainstream and from the businesses that stand to reap an amazing windfall
11:11 pm
from the sale of these kind of devices that you know it's better for the safety of the people of this country it's better for the safety the people the world there is no threat of terror that's a can or so absolutely it's something we should be concerned about we've seen since nine eleven the introduction of the patriot act and every other piece of so-called legislation that's protecting the people is the enriching of the financial super elite in the security industrial complex we see a perpetuation of the fine ocracy where financial interests write legislation that govern this country and that all this talk of fearing ahmadinejad out of every closet or coming up from underneath everybody's bed is nothing more than a fear tactic so we can enrich a very few people on this planet when new protests on the streets of spain over a slew of. new budget cuts intended to reduce the country's national deficit by about sixty billion euros now that's led to a fresh eruption of public anger and protests all across the country rallies during
11:12 pm
the week quickly turned violent however when police charged and beat demonstrators were also firing rubber bullets more than seventy people were injured in those clashes yesterday cuts driving the trouble include tax hikes as well as the promise of painful pension changes but the protesters say they are the ones being forced to pay for the mistakes of politicians and bankers the measures were demanded by spain's e.u. creditors who have pledged madrid a vital bailed out bailout for crippled spanish banks now according to the leader of the founder of the lira dot com crisis planning organization he says that more violence is expected to come soon. you know the basically the banks that you're going to call but they aren't going to do the forms that need to be done and so far as the banking system is concerned the based profits are obscene and i think that these governments of daily living out continuously is just simply on the 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 polity. and instead
11:13 pm
what i thought we could lose to start to be very vocal about it fracking is now as we continue to have these benefits you'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 means more violence against people moments against the people means more protests the law as it is 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 the extreme political parties as these extremists or you 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. the next year or two and so i would this is just the beginning we're going to see a lot worse. now what we're seeing on the streets of spain these days is quite similar to the images coming from the streets of greece over the past few years of
11:14 pm
course there are tear gas molotov cocktails and lines of riot police may no longer be a common sight however long standing public anger is now taking on a new forms of expression for a closer look at what i mean jacob grieves reports. greek streets of come to embody mt of steroids the rage in the euro zone huge crowds have marched to voice their anger. with discontent fooling around deaf ear is different tools have also been employed to me the graffiti strewn on the capitals is simply an eyesore but for others it's a chance to keep their message keep their demonstration alive nobody else on the streets protesting. with aerosols rather than amplifiers their outrage is left a lasting impact around greece.
11:15 pm
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 a 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 a generation that feels forgotten others a more direct attempt to sway the opinion of a nation but all of it if the new forms of activism we don't have an expedient of this kind in the past mainly because since i was born in cleese or a couple of years later after the germans lift greece as an occupying force it's
11:16 pm
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 few much of the anger from the podium to the problem not. recently the e.u. years old and i.m.f. troika have been depicted as the rumors of greece of domestic politicians the subjects. new democracy and also going to see a in two thousand well it means that we are staying asleep. you need to wake up it's sentiment that's growing against the government continues to do with the eurozone imposed austerity that greece is ready and the. greece athens. now is always a lot more details on all of the stories you've seen on the air today and that's not the only thing that's on our website if you point your browser to our t dot com a lot more information for you over there including this heavy footage footage of

11:18 pm
so resistance a new job of. roads if you came in for example the search. breast cancers more than ten times told cancers fourteen times forget the exact details but if. there's no nothing that you have ever found in any epidemiological study. there is a way that brings victory. to its creator. he's not alone some are more severe than others. we have some d.b.'s born without skulls without an organist sometimes with their legs totally missed but means death to who it's pointed. to those shoes is one. of the celebrates when they don't stand looking at the

entrance hall where guests were being welcomed. two pilots have died in a military plane crash in southwestern colombia farkas rebels claim that they shot the plane down but the government doesn't sustain that mechanical failure was to blame now fighting between leftist militias and the army has claimed the lives of at least twelve colombian soldier since monday fark also known as the revolutionary armed forces of colombia has been waging a guerrilla war for almost fifty years there claiming to. present the rural poor. all right well in an ideal world political campaigns should highlight the candidates strengths right but unfortunately we live in reality and in reality those are mostly used to personally attack opponents but are these kinds of political smear tactics fair or foul let's take a look at what the people on the streets of the big apple have to say here's the latest from the resident in new york.
11:21 pm
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 f. kennedy would have never got elected. today would his lifestyle the womanizing enormous to yes absolutely i've still 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 a beautiful to get i don't thing we have to mix politics with personal life yet but if it helps someone get elected is that ok. i don't think so if one candidate 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 a 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
11:22 pm
issues yes so do you feel like more gets done that way yes 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 also been in flop why are 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 yes the same tendency. they lost ideas and. tried to get power as many of the political parties i think yeah when power is on the table anything goes right how does it change. take our money take out power but i mean it's it's it's something that. it's kind of just part of how it works
11:23 pm
unfortunately so i don't think there's a fair way that i would rather hear about their policies and their records as politicians and public servants if one politician stuck to that while the other one was throwing mud who do you think would win. i like to think that the guy that stuck to his record of the woman who stuck to her record when i'm voting for her yeah me too whether or not you think it's ok for politicians to smear their opponents the bottom line is it's up to each of us just sort through the noise to find the true price that. rival a two day trip to space has just kicked off as a russian soyuz rocket blasted off from the baikonur cosmodrome the bank montse was there to see off the international crew for a four month spell in orbit. after months of joining and testing the international
