tonight the world cools. the global noise protests kick off in more than thirty countries with the biggest rising spreading debt ridden space that's what you're looking at now when live here in madrid these are live pictures coming through our correspondents for more from him in just a bit of the headlines tonight for an action looming in africa as the u.n. greenlights military intervention in mali to tackle islamists amid criticism that the un's actions in libya created the crisis. al qaida calls for more anti american protests in a holy war against the u.s.

while egypt one of washington's longtime allies in the region sees signs of growing islamization. and the family of a journalist working with the russian media in syria tells r t she was kidnapped in an area of intense clashes between the government and the rebels. pm saturday evening here in moscow this is r.t. live with me kevin i mean we appreciate your company first it's been described as a wake up call for the world against austerity global noise protests a plan for more than thirty countries throughout this coming week and one of the major ones is gathering steam right now in the spanish capital. is live in madrid for us we just saw some pictures now and there is alexei hi there struggling spain seems a perfect candidate for one of the main rallies doesn't it what is the mood there

apart from being noisy. it is clearly getting very noisy insulter madrid with thousands filling up the central square in the city the protest has already been holding for several hours now there have come here to the central square not far despite a very heavy police presence but. definitely nothing can be ruled out for spain which has a record of violent clashes between the protesters and the police now this is the first one of the first protests in the global voice in the global string of protests across the world in fact thirty five countries will see protests against the stereotype basically every country has a different message in the protests but in spain it's all about austerity almost twenty five percent of the country are unemployed which makes certainly every fourth spenny aren't without a job the spanish government is promising more budget cuts for next year and clearly the people have been very much unhappy with that they've been saying that they are being robbed and they would do not owe anything so that they would not pay

anything to anybody clearly the tension is rising spain is not the only country seeing these protests portugal also saw thousands hit the streets france so people in the streets as well so these growing worries this is certainly causing some growing worries around the repeat incontinent that these austerity measures can lead to some serious serious public discontent in across the european continent i was looking at the pictures in the square of where the gathering you see happening right now just a little while ago it was not busy losing huge groundswell of people coming in there now. on the keeping an eye on this until yesterday anger is coupled is now with renewed separatism cool's in catalonia as well the government certainly got its hands full right now. indeed hundreds of thousands have been marching in catalonia over the past several weeks in fact yesterday it's also so huge protests with the national day of catalonia being spoiled by some clashes between those

willing to become independent from madrid and those standing for unity there have been clashes with police that have said one hundred people have been detained some of them are trying to take down the spanish flag from the governmental been the buildings in catalonia this might hurt spain massive. because cats a lumia is the biggest regional economies spain and if it becomes independent and certainly it would be said it would be a massive economic blow for the country the funniest thing about it is that old this happens amid. while the european union was awarded the nobel peace prize and something which was owner it in this peace prize was the unity in the europe in the europe which the organization has managed to achieve according to the nobel peace prize committee definitely with these calls for independence to get a loony and other warring tendencies across europe this unity which the nobel peace prize committee have been speaking of comes into very serious question for the cave

and i was sorry there in turn turn madrid thro the night with your help thanks very much. as alexa mentioned there the latest on rest comes as he who gets the nobel peace prize i spoke to financial advisor marco pierre topola he told me doesn't see how the war can be justified especially now. the eurozone is now not a force of peace it's a force of i mean rights than a force of instability. in no way can it be justified that nobel peace price be given a. good look at what we have to look at for the future and watch things develop because i fear that a significant civil unrest and potentially a breakup of the of the concept of the european union the situation is very dire in many many places and say should movements and separatist movements may well see

you when you have a situation of extremely high unemployment and i'm very very dismal prospects if the current policy of continual steroids and continuing build up of national debt. well as the ongoing worldwide a sturdy protest draw in more countries we'll bring you reaction analysis to the global noise as it's called here on r.t. . mali in west africa might soon see foreign troops on the ground now the un security council resolutions paving the way for international intervention mali which is basically split into these days wants help to deal with is the most extremist have taken over the north the small nation plunged into chaos in march after a coup toppled the president rebels and the islamist groups took advantage of the instability seizing control of the north and proclaiming independence historian gerald hall explains why it might be too late though for the world community to clean up a mess that traces back to their interference in one of mali's neighbors. there is

no question what is happening in mali which is a humanitarian crisis and disaster as the director. of the north atlantic country intervention in libya in two thousand and eleven in order to dislodge colonel gadhafi could not but when a country had to tons of weapons into libya which inevitably lead to neighboring mali. which heretofore had been a goal to be stable with the leaking of these weapons into mali you saw the eruption of civil unrest and then military unrest in northern mali and now what we have is that a no fight at white formation has taken hold of a region of northern mali that is the mortar state of france what has followed and what has happened in the wake of the overthrow of the authorities and bomb a co has been be flogging suspected criminals the patients of and suspected. the persecution of single mothers tens of thousands have

fled into neighboring algeria mauritania night here it's also fair to say that this event in northern mali has given jolt of success so-called us along with those throughout northern and north western africa. so al qaeda is influencing profile the region's been boosted by recent events the terror groups called for a jihad against the u.s. over the american made phil mocking the prophet muhammad. more protests side u.s. embassies in the middle east while praising two months assaults on the consulate in libya that killed four diplomats meanwhile egypt where the group's current leader comes from a scene large protests against the growing islam is ation of the country a young liberals rally turned ugly though when muslim brotherhood supporters also descended on tahrir square and clashed with anti-government demonstrators over one hundred bridges in egypt's most violent protest since mohamed morsi came to power james trysts is a former u.s. senate foreign policy analyst i spoke to him he said the threats of verticalization

of egypt is very real. we were seeing a very rapid islamisation of the political structure in egypt and nobody should be surprised at this. if there was a lot of discussion about the power struggle that would ensue between morsi and the military and it seems. morsi and the brotherhood have triumphed much quicker than anybody expected and nobody should doubt what their ultimate intentions are in terms of strict enforcement of our sharia and they re creation of the caliphate the khilafat so i think this statement about jihad to recapture jerusalem should not come as any surprise to anyone i don't think the peace treaty with israel ultimately will be altered but we will see what form that takes and what it will take it i think the most important thing that strikes me is it shows the utter incoherence of american policy in the arab world by promoting the islamization of egypt to the removal of our longtime satrap in egypt hosni mubarak and then we seem

surprised that democracy in egypt has taken this direction and the further trouble in the region too must be labeled the forgotten revolution. coming up very soon bahrain security forces once again lash out at peaceful protests demanding political reforms as the molecule reinforces ties with its powerful military back a great britain to go to report on. but next the family of a journalist who's been helping russian news outlets in syria has told us that she's been kidnaps near the city of holmes the area is the scene of intense fighting between government forces and the opposition a correspondent in the region are really going on the story. the husband. question of a has contacted r t and saying that she was abducted on hard courts to i was working in syria she has been there for almost a year and now she has been to me all major hotspots in this country torn by the

civil war as well as russian diplomats in syria are working on establishing what exactly has happened to car and where for whereabouts could be we have also been contacted by one of her colleagues and this is how she described the situation where you know the time hard went home to help a group of fresh and journalists who weren't since then. and haven't been need to retrain her cell phone then through channels learned that she was captured by a group of people not far from home syria remains a highly unstable ground for work for journalists well known organization reporters without borders have come out with an open letter directed at the free syrian army they have said and i'm quoting that they have been condemning the attacks on foreign and local journalists by the subversion they have also unfortunately witnessed. and have received reports from the news of syria's pro-government media

who are saying that they have been increasingly becoming targets of abduction and murder of targets of opposition groups while foreign journalists are also reporting that they are being targets of death threats from opposition groups of course he will be keeping a close eye on the situation in regards to the journalists missing in syria and the syrian opposition decreasingly being held by all related you had this the rebels say fighters from the islamist front help them to attack and seize a new defense base on the outskirts of the major city of aleppo just starbird from executive intelligence review magazine says rebels growing links with terrorist groups should ring alarm bell for the foreign supporters. the syrian opposition is increasingly being dominated by the same al qaeda linked jihadi networks that just recently assassinated an american ambassador and three other american diplomats in benghazi libya the opposition has clearly run aground servers of any

military capacity to overthrow the assad regime so the opposition is resorting to suicide bombings car bombings the standard techniques of qaida that they're continuing to use against the united states in afghanistan and iraq it's a terrible embarrassment that the united states is back in bed with al qaida minus osama bin ladin. tensions heating up between syria and its neighbor turkey to with ankara olding on to congo confiscated from a syrian plane there in the wake took he says the shipment contained russian made weapons claims strongly denied by russian fun more about the diplomatic standoff but i'll tell you don't call one of the two is also exclusive first time reports from the passengers and the crew without playing it was intercepted by turkey to describe how badly they're treated is that. news on the way from ati live from

moscow after this break. the legacy no one should be proud. of scrap metal littering pristine arctic landscape buildings still ting over their foundation pipes being black smoke over the snow covered peaks the traces of the. pittsburgh an archipelago don't make a pretty picture the guiding principle here is the worst the better that can do nine hundred eighty bearings work was a burgeoning mining community. was determined to maintain at all costs to a degree located halfway between north america and western europe the bergen archipelago is part of norway but a special status that allows other countries to set up industrial bases here in the middle of the cold war it served as the us is ours westernmost outpost now it's one

of the last preserved relics. picture of what would have happened to the soviet union if it was cut off from any financial support for two decades curious for western tourists and i think it could be even more appealing for russian travellers the local administration is increasingly under pressure to bring the infrastructure up to more than standards if these modernization efforts are not very popular with tourists. coming to a very authentic place like. it should stay the way it is that would be my wish i mean that's the part of the you know authentic tradition. i should not like to have it in the shiny condition to be the time to change even for the better is not always good for business something that even a local band has become attuned to when they try to add morning russian songs to die repertoire the audience called all they wanted to hear it was

a song comfortably familiar. even in the autumn of the years. it's never too late to start. try extreme paragliding. or become a party. more

news today violence is once again flared up. and these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. operation today. hello again what's been dubbed the invisible arab spring continues to unravel a place that used to gas and stun grenades to disperse hundreds of peaceful protesters. at least ten were arrested their demonstrations have continued almost nonstop since last february they're often met by heavy response from the country's security forces meantime britain has signed a military treaty with the state seen as a sign of support for the under fire regime as well to dominate kavakeb for the nation's justice development movement he believes western nations have too much to

lose from any reforms in bahrain. obviously it doesn't send a particularly fantastic message when you're sending weapons to a country that is using weapons against its people on a daily basis to kill to injure to crush protests to crush essentially democracy but i think. the reason why the why the u.s. and other countries do that is because they want to keep the grain as an ally seen as an ally of western countries and therefore they want to try and keep that relationship what these governments don't realize all right refuse to realize they have a huge amount of leverage they have a lot of ability to convince about cradle to pressure them into reform and perhaps they misunderstand the strength they have or perhaps you know they're scared that their interests which are tied up in that region could be damaged if you know if there were democratic change but the reality is the people of bahrain of calling for democracy they're calling for change i don't have to be against the western interests actually i could be very much in the interests of the west and i know the

rest of the world democratic and stable country well i tell you we're going to eyewitness accounts online from summer to part of the latest process there the violent also on the web site got photos from capital where spiraling over the past months. britain's preventing its heroic veterans from receiving all those for saving countless lives during the second world war they dressed themselves on perilous journeys to help their brothers in arms further explains what's stopping the valley from being properly rewarded. i think the worst journey in the world winston churchill's description of the grim ordeal that faced the british soldiers who were part of the arctic convoys during world war two the getting supplies to russian forces the convoys face danger from above and below you will not see your base and aircraft it was going into the spray in the. near future fell over. there i mean the temperature. below zero i

mean i was nineteen years of age eighteen years of age going up to russia and then do an order. but we've done it well could our because the chopper to be done. stories and memories are among the most harrowing of the war for the russians it was more than just supplies it was psychological support contributing hugely to the war effort that's why in april the russian president awarded the issue of medal to the allies he taking part in the convoy missions but incredibly the push government blocking russia from rewarding british veterans for their valor. of the arctic convoys in recognition of your outstanding contribution inter allied cooperation due to world war two the description of. the attack. apparently

unless the british government. is a non starter what i think. forgivable war the foreign office third it's against the rules in order for permission to be given for an award to be exerted there has to be a specific service to the country concerned and that service should have taken place within the previous five years john's wife says that's ridiculous they're all late eighty's early ninety's some of them what on earth are they supposed to do over the last five years they're still prayer men of what they were during the war it never leaves them so why are they being painted lowest and not being given this . i think it's disgraceful absolutely disgraceful angry not just from a hole while the ship might those here and those opacity on across the bars beside

to me this disgusting. john says it's time the current prime minister stepped in to be the decent thing common diver all while we was there and then died yes we were all in together. the russians the americans the french the belgium yes we were all in it together then but apparently we've been left there because you believe we can lift this medal everybody's guilty. but the foreign countries get a we're not good campaign is in both britain and russia i refusing to back down in pushing the government to get these men properly rewarded for their bravery. really extraordinary service and be worth. important people during their work to see that. in

the pivotal war time he found friendship through real adversity is straighted by john's pitches and stories of his time working with the russians downsizing and bartering. these are the medals that john received for his heroic the steering world war two and he was hoping along with the other veterans involved in the arctic convoys to add the issue called medal to their collection but as long as the british government continues to refuse to allow them to be awarded they won't be adding that medal that they say. surface r.t. london. europe's cash strapped countries are scratching around for any cash then find right now italy's planning to dip it sounds into the church collection with plans to strip the catholic church of its tax exempt status in order to punch holes in the country's budget it's more about online both reporting two brothers degree of really how america's hunger for energy means plowing up college campuses to get

the gas and the. oldest gold artie's story on the russian scene is still making the most of their lives so after this break. which is slow often enough and knows that to ride a horse you've got to catch it first. for him it's a daily routine that you're soft as a horse breeder on the island of a horn at the heart of. his life on an isolated farm is about blue sky green grass and his horses what they're sometimes it gets lonely here but horses have become part of me now i've fallen off so many times sometimes that bites as well

it's part of my everyday life. i holmes been home to it make brats locally just laugh for centuries most still live off the land cattle and fish every evening local villagers place their nets and in the morning the catch is always good. we always have enough here. if by call is often called the pearl of siberia and horn is said to be the pearl of by call it's all end of fake forests. and vast staps. it's also a place of traditions respected by locals and travelers alike. an economist turned adventurer has crisscrossed by called shores and learned its
