2:02 pm
it was a large see a lie from moscow with me to bomb would say the moves that turned salo in madrid with riot police challenging all out of their forty five positions around the spanish politicians and plowing into a vase crawled of protesters flocking to the capitol from all across spain tens of thousands of demonstrators have joined a rally to express their anger with the government now let's now go to arches jacob reeves who is at the scene with more on this jacob good to see they now some brutal scenes we're seeing in madrid to bring us up to speed on what's happening there right now. oh sure the last hour an awful awful so the situation here is really worse and so what now we saw the four lawyer david straightest clashing with police
2:03 pm
of injuries and. off but i've been. that's a fight its way through this a mass crowd was also being taken away on a stretcher versus the protest as police all checks as well and really we got an impression some of the panic felt by those demonstrators as police pushed back there are thousands of people they have been through a very small space of well maybe it will go away because now this is the way they should be so you could try to pressure. the supposed building was a shock because like they say they will have to actually keep my physically the column and show what they do want to do they want to send that message make sure by those inside all of that and still stay or see and see some of the cars that way joy that the bye bye call us that because he's a social which is now the situation because again there is this worth it's
2:04 pm
trying to get this message across well i think actually that's the question of whether or not this is worth it is a question for the government and for the troika of the european union what you're seeing out here right now is the spanish and by extension the european citizenry reacting against austerity thirty right now is at a level where it's affecting people's daily lives is affecting whether or not people can get medical attention is affecting whether or not people can advance socially reggie cation and social progress what you're seeing is a country where an entire generation is being relegated to a class of immigrants people that have been invested with public money to be educated are now going to move out and generate wealth in other countries that's not a project for a country meanwhile child poverty in spain has increased exponentially story that what can the government do right now to stop this sort of ongoing i think the first thing that the government can do is. call for
2:05 pm
a referendum on paying back the debt and on the constitutional amendment that they may. it's no mistake that these people are gathered here today to talk about the constitution of spain a constitution that has been around since the transition from the franco is government and it was always said that it couldn't be touched that it was a basis for what spain is today but they didn't change it without a referendum or even consulting citizens or submitting it to the debate to pay back and illegitimate debt taken on by the private side for a much posting of the stuff now houses projects can steam and so on the anger is being built up body the job the straight you get out of points in this country the highest in the euro zone about twenty five percent of the population is taking basing the young those age below twenty five we're seeing them really out in force here at the lovitz today we are hearing at the moment that potentially there will be an announcement of the budget for next year to be announced later this week and

2:07 pm
because their demands were too huge were too vague also it will be people undoubtedly probably thousands of people so yes there are sangar resentments against the government the spanish government is trying to resist that because they know it some. but i'm afraid they will probably thout to the to the dictates of brussels once again and we'll have more maybe that's racist and all that sort of thing. just to remind you if you've just joined us of people from across spain traveled to the capital for today's demonstrations to share their anger against the government's handling of the financial crisis thousands of protesters from across spain have surrounded the country's parliament chanting injuring at passing deputies there voicing their anger against the government's anti-crisis policies namely drastic cuts in a soaring jobless rate among peoples demands our complete halt. the dissolution of

2:10 pm
been injured and killed we know that fire did erupt in two separate parts of the building and also early reports of an explosion near the airport it is believed that the attack was carried out because it was suspected that there were intelligence officers or security officers inside the building now two rebel groups have come forward to take responsibility for this attack the one is the revolutionary council in damascus that has links with al qaida it is a group that is seeking the overthrow of the syrian president bashar assad a group that is also against dialogue and in a statement that it issued it's said that this attack was in response to the syrian army's operations in the syrian capital and now for months there have been fighting between the syrian troops as well as opposition forces in the capital city of damascus as well as in the country's second largest city of aleppo the fighting has continued since last year march with the daily casualty count continuing to
2:11 pm
climb the attack in damascus that comes amid a major international gathering in new york where the young going crisis in syria is among the main topics being tackled artie's marine are but my as following the u.n. general assembly meeting. well u.s. president barack obama addressed the international body and with respect to syria the u.s. leader said the regime of bashar al assad must come to an end when referencing syria president obama said that the international community must be engaged to assure that what began as citizens demanding their rights does not end in a cycle of sectarian violence now as we've been reporting over the past year and a half the u.s. and its western allies have been fiercely pushing and campaigning for for regime change for bashar al assad to step down and the u.s. and europeans have been supporting the opposition but the reality of the ground on the ground in syria is just getting worse as a matter of fact joint special envoy lakhdar brahimi just briefed the security
2:12 pm
council a day ago on the circumstance against syria he said it is going from bad to worse right now there's no new plans in place on how to scale down the violence and how to lead both sides to a peaceful path in addition to syria president obama spoke very heavily about the anti-american demonstrations that are blazing through the muslim world demonstrations that were sparked on september eleventh when he addressed the matter of this muslim video that was made in the u.s. and posted on you tube calls it a crude and disgusting video that sparked outrage of the muslim world and said the u.s. government had nothing to do with that video and does not endorse that video in any way as a matter of factness officials have condemned it nonetheless there's no video you know words that can justify. on u.s. embassies or consulates or the killing of an american ambassador and three other american officials in the view of u.s.
2:13 pm
president barack obama he believes that it's. extremists that are co-opting the anger that is the frustrations that is being shown towards the u.s. and that is inciting more of this anti-american sentiment but it's interesting to point out that president. bomb in his speeches talking about how the u.s. has helped or supported many countries such as tunisia egypt libya and yemen supported the rights of the people that's what he said but the irony is that we've seen these things and time merican demonstrations taking place in those countries so that the case the matter is this just about a video or is this about u.s. foreign policy. and address of from across the atlantic the world's top whistleblower all those current trapped at the ecuadorian embassy in london will have his own say in front of the u.n. general assembly was an exclusive brokaw's of his speech on wednesday here on r.t. .

language of communicating with nature it said that's where throat singing originates from to benin's believe not only animals but also all surrounding objects like reverse forests and even stones of souls by imitating the sounds they believe assumes can capture the power of nature. was. there are special instruments that accompany the singing if gainey says there is even a legend about his instrument a gill it says once there lived a poor shefford who had the best horse that won every competition but jealous people killed it on the course was revived as an instrument that those that have suffered a fall is because of the spirit of the horse coming to his dream he said make an instrument from the tree the sounding board from the leather of my face the strings . and to remember me make an engraving of my head part of the instrument he did so
2:16 pm
i called the instrument again which means come back and this melody only instrument is called. to fly as one of the most famous groups in the republic there. next goal is to tour broad they say for you were opinion since difficult to pick up and sing so i asked them to teach me and see if i can do it little you cheer it up and they were. shared and oh you. did that was sure to say can ya who was you think gang are ok. but now it is a moody part of the song and not the actual fruit singing which i wouldn't even try
2:17 pm
to repeat. so maybe you have to be born here to be able to sing like this puzzle so until i met she looks like it vinnie and i don't even speak their language but she is from japan. most of us to one mind so that you come from two hundred years ago until sappy here she's not planning a professional singing career but she keeps practicing just because it's become part of her nature.
2:18 pm
you know with our g. and a back up to one of our top stories president obama is on the defensive over the anti american movement spawned by us may feel mocking the prophet muhammad at the u.n. general assembly he said i hate speeches should not be used as an excuse to commit violence let's get more perspective on this from a russell baker who's the editor of news website wild why dot com good to see you there mr baker thanks for being here on our team president obama says the u.s. has nothing to do with the video but a of that's the case with is the muslim world a wash with empty u.s. slogans and burning of the american flags. i mean i think the larger issue is
2:19 pm
one of the sorts of things that are never discussed poverty the failure of people in those countries as in most countries to have control over their own destiny and i think that's this text that never really emerges in the in the coverage of these kinds of thing because i'm particularly interested for example in libya there is virtually no discussion of the fact that the ambassador who was tragically killed was actually in there early on helping to foment the uprising that got rid of gadhafi and as you know our web site who what why is very focused on the why the background story to what's really going on in libya what's really going on in syria what's really going on in iran and i thought that obama's speech was quite masterful in terms of balancing kind of a sophisticated presentation of purported ideals but i think it has very very very little to do with the real motivations and in policy in that region now the u.s.
2:20 pm
advocates democracy and freedom of speech do you think that people have the right to express his views and should be respected for them and that that supports all the muslim community have over reacted over this. well i mean my take is that religion of all kinds provides both comfort to people and causes. grave problems and i think that we ought to be able to candidly express ourselves in terms of how we feel about religion just as how we feel about politics or anything else. as an investigative reporter i'm very very suspicious of this film itself it seems to me a sophisticated effort to deliberately create a very crude and unsophisticated product i think there's more to that story of who was. right we look like oh we've actually lost mr bacon day but we'll keep. taking notes of this story as we continue here in our

it considers its territorial integrity taiwan japan and china all claim the islands as their own and there are other players including the us that have security interests in the region domestic politics in both china and japan are due to undergo large changes in the coming months and that puts pressure on the leaders there to show that they are not backing down all of which has led to fears that this dispute over these small islands could lead to some very big consequences. recovery and prosperity a european promise with a catch that's not being years of austerity and cuts but in britain if you're in the bottom half of the household income chart it looks like you don't have much to look forward to financially either way our desire for it's describes an economic recovery that may leave many behind. persons in the midst of a double dip recession and everybody feeling the pinch or all of
