live from our studios in central moscow this is our t.v. certainly glad to have you with us well it's being described as a wake up call for the world against austerity global noise of protests are planned for more than thirty countries throughout the week and one of the major ones has been underway in madrid. among the crowds in the spanish capital for r.t. . drew has been witnessing very loud and very mass protests during the day with thousands marching the streets thousands gathering here where the central square in madrid people have been saying that they have grown fed up with the country's lisey's in a stereo every fourth spenny artifact is now out of jobs the unemployment rate is about twenty five percent and over with the spanish government promising more cuts

in budget coming next year definitely the people are getting more and more angry as certainly they get more and more hungry and there are certainly very worrying calls for madrid because some protests which have been taking place in its wealthiest region in spain's wealthiest region got the lumia some people there have been demanding independence from madrid and. this protest particular protest in barcelona in catalonia comes only a day after the e.u. was awarded the nobel peace prize for containing peace and unity throughout the continent and definitely these events in catalonia suggest that they may not be such unity across the european continent as the nobel committee may consider this book protest has not been violent but we cannot rule anything out when it comes to a spanish protest because in the past there have been clashes with the police in fact this week having clashes in catalonia in barcelona in madrid definitely this this particular protest in madrid is only a part of

a huge string of global protests in spain alone there were thirty cities protesting expecting another week of protests which is called the global noise wender stand that everywhere across the world protests have happened during the day in melbourne in australia in italy in rome in venice in new york so definitely this is a very global a major movement the main idea of these protests is anti-capitalism that the people are unwilling to pay their own money for the bank loans which the countries have been having over the past several months as the austerity grips. spain in particular and many other european countries there's no indication whatsoever that these protests will die down when to stand that at least for another week people will be gathering it in at least thirty five countries across the world parties reporting for us they're sticking with this story global noise is making itself heard as protests again international momentum let's now talk to activists from the

international action center in new york. now thanks for being with us first of all . you are in new york where protests are expected along with many other cities across the united states how big do you think this is going to get well i was just at the corner of eight and fifty ninth street here in new york city and there was a crowd of several hundred that gathered at the moment it was taking the form of teaching and. you know kind of an educational kind of thing but there are from what i understand plans for marches and more militant demonstrations later this evening now if you look back to the through the past year a year ago occupy wall street spread across the world now it's global noise what is global noise all about and how is it different. well basically global noise is saying we're not going to be silent because right now the banks are coming for us and they're cutting all of the programs you know there's mass unemployment there's cutting in government spending on the governments of the world are just having to

pay back the banks and in the process our futures are being destroyed our educations it's impossible to get an education in this country without rising debt as mass unemployment and what we're saying is we're going to be a global noise we are the next generation the youth and youth part of the working class as our future is being destroyed we're not going to silently sit back and let them destroy our future we're going to be louder we're going to be confrontational and we're going to demand austerity is a crime against the people these cuts are crime against us and we're going to demonstrate we're going to allow them going to oppose it now in the u.s. where you are america has not seen austerity cuts as of you. that but in europe this is precisely what the global noise rallies were aimed against is this merely a show of support for europe or is there say a message in the demonstrations for the u.s. presidential candidates well there is plenty of austerity going on in the united states food stamps a program that millions of people in the u.s. depend on so they can have a have food is being cut college prices are going up now they have kind of halted

it because they're really they're planning after the elections to really have austerity you know all the major cuts are going to happen after the elections but even in these latest debates you see you know romney and ryan romney and ryan obama biden you know they're all debating about how much to cut essentially the terms of the you know how our responsibly can we get rid of social security and how responsibly can we do it. it's it is austerity it's a global austerity because you know lenin spoke of in his book imperialism the highest stage of capitalism you talked about how the banks become kind of the center of capitalism as in its monopoly and its monopoly stage and right now there's a revolt against the banks and you know instead of the people having to take all these cuts why do they simply you know stop the cuts to the banks the governments all of the united states have the ability to do that they could they could pass legislation saying that the banks payments have to be delayed but instead they keep paying back the banks with these these these loans that they they've taken from the government and programs that people depend on survivor being caught in a time of mass unemployment millions of youth have great anger about what's going

on right now and it's exploding into a global anti-capitalist rebellion and it's here in the u.s. you know the phrase we are the ninety nine percent represent what millions of people understand which is that a small elite you know bankers capitalists they own the world and the rest of us just get to live it well it's time that we're heard and we're a global noise and we're going to rise up and demand a change in that situation and really briefly you mentioned you know the presidential politics of it all us in the u.s. the obama administration criticized for the bailout while republicans are criticized for wanting more austerity what do you think the perfect balance should be there in the states i think whoever wins election this. and it's very clear that after the election is over they're going to begin you know an extreme amount of mass austerity you know and the terms of the debate is sickening the terms of the debate is essentially how much to cut some people say oh we should cut everything another say now we should just cut a little bit no the people do not have to pay for a crisis the bankers created but that message is not part of the discourse in this country right now just course it's limited to. one form of cutting and one form of

cutbacks or you for another form and that's frightening and that's why the occupy movement came in with you know we are the ninety nine percent or as they as the labor movement in progress of course is set for a long time class against class it's not about republicans and democrats it's about the bankers versus the people it's about the people who sell their labor to survive but those those who own the world is run out of time but your thoughts on this subject and from the international action center thank you very much for being with us and thank you. now as the ongoing worldwide austerity protests draw in more countries we'll bring you in depth reaction and analysis to the global noise on our website r.t. dot com. now the un security council has approved a resolution that could see a military intervention in mali the west african republic wants help to deal with islamic extremists who have taken over the north of the country the nation was plunged into chaos in march after a while to get out toppled the president rebels and islamists took advantage of the

instability seizing control of the northern half of the country and proclaiming independence the resolution also called for secular rebel groups in the country to sever ties with al qaeda and enter talks to end the crisis historian gerald horne explains why it might be too late for the world community to clean up a mess that can be traced back to foreign interference in libya. there is no question that what is happening in mali which is a humanitarian crisis and disaster is a direct outgrowth of the north atlantic countries' intervention in libya in two thousand and eleven in order to dislodge colonel gadhafi the north atlantic countries had to don't tons of weapons into libya which inevitably leaked into neighboring mali which there are for had been relatively 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 an al-qaeda white formation

has taken hold of a region of northern mali that is the more than the state of france what has followed what has happened in the wake of the overthrow of the authorities and bomb a co has been the flogging suspects that they're criminals and taisha them and some suspect that the persecution of single mothers of thousands have fled into neighboring algeria mauritania nice share it's also fair to say that this event in northern mali has given a jolt of success to so-called us along with those throughout northern and northwestern africa. al qaeda has already responded to the french sponsored un resolution on the mali by threatening to open the doors of hell for the french nationals living in the country this comes as the leader of a terrorist group called for jihad against the us praising last month's assaults on

the consulate in libya that killed four diplomats middle east expert james petraeus believes al qaeda is going through a resurgence as a result of washington's own actions what we have here is the unfolding of a very opportunistic policy the u.s. government and in particular the obama regime supported al qaeda elements freshly out of benghazi that were anti kadafi washington's thinking on this is that they could use the al qaeda or the extremists to overthrow gadhafi and then discard them. and of course this policy has backfired the al qaeda elements very strong they've moved from libya in part to syria and once again washington is playing that game

of using al-qaeda against the of bashar assad regime thinking that once they overthrown them they can impose some pro western ex-pats in power and what we saw in libya is that's not the case the al qaeda people are not going to allow themselves to be used and discarded washington thinks they're using al-qaeda al-qaeda deliberately take saddam send money from washington and from the european nato forces and then turns their guns the other way it's a mutual manipulation that's going on here. and you are with our t. will be back with more news after this short break.

it always amazes me the lengths that people go to for things that are pointless people camped out for a week waiting for a new i phone that would be archaic by next year when the next one comes out every black friday many but thankfully not all americans celebrate this holiest of shopping days by waiting outside of a wal-mart in the early morning to fight over trendy plastic gifts for their children that they're too young to appreciate hey even i'm willing to sometimes wake up early in the morning to drive downtown and pay twenty five bucks for parking to watch a football game on rare occasions but just imagine a world where we actually were willing to wake up early and stand a big crowd for something say more important than some stupid gizmo or the sake of our favorite sports team just imagine iraq and that world would be yeah maybe standing around at some protester collecting signatures won't do anything we can't be naive enough to think that big corporations will bow to ten people with signs bought spending days worshiping at the altar of the i phone it's certainly won't

improve your country but that's just my. even in the autumn of the years. it's never too late to start. try extreme paragliding. championship. or become a part. of. morning

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 governments 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 american 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 accepted
