global noise until seventy demonstrations are staged a worldwide while experts raise eyebrows over the decision to award the protest stricken european union with the nobel peace prize. syria bans turkish flights over its territory grounded a syrian passenger plane port of legibly carrying russian weapons something moscow denies. and one of the three jail members of the russian punk band pussy riot is released on appeal as our team looks into how the group became a lucrative international brand.

and welcome to our teams the weekly karen tara well wave then tile sorry protest has swept across the planet a wake up call for the world against choking financial restrictions the epicenter of the global noise demonstrations is focused on europe which just this week received a nobel peace prize news that was received by many would surprise and puzzlement are to succeed a show of skill reports from the spanish capital. the union needs for a new just how it always seeks that gates contribute to. peace and reconciliation democracy on your rights in europe but is this the peace they're talking about tear gas fascist flags and massive furious crowds of the most common sites across the award winning continent lead to the protests like this will echo in thirty five countries across the world over the next several weeks the global and so i also read two boys only in spain alone hundreds of thousands have been.

voicing their anger ever since the government announced more painful budget cuts for next year everything with spending are is now unemployed and this grim story is pretty much the same for portugal and greece towm is one of the leaders of the protest movement in madrid sas people have just about had enough behind it the crises and the capitalist system right now being in spain transfer private debt to top make that and these causes huge cuts to public spending and help since then many education and it's affecting millions of poor people it's producing huge you can employ and it's producing and whole social best composition of the old society with so many going against the system across europe at times clashing violently with the police the decision to award the e.u. with a peace prize has raised many eyebrows this is like giving the prize to frankenstein

for being the best monster created during the past twelve months there's only one contender for the peace prize this year and that's julian assad and the fact that he did not win this prize is will be in a tunnel stain on the nobel committee no one has done more to push peace than julian astonished should be getting this award from this committee the fact that they turn to a bunch of machines and technocrats and the a hero is an embarrassment they should go back to making dynamite this award is even more questionable to some because of the e.u. is rather dubious peacemaking record and that moreover the current financial turmoil is the biggest danger to peace europe has been bombing libya europe has been bombing syria europe isn't bombing afghanistan or iraq yugoslavia a few years ago yes it's because they're trying to say ok guys we're giving you the whole year together europe has been spending money they don't have that's going to have to stop that is going to cause more rise more social unrest borg. even

countries failing and perhaps even people pulling out of the euro could lead to a war. in two thousand and nine barack obama won the same award having been in office for only two weeks that was before he sent more troops to afghanistan and waged war in libya but as the latest nobel peace prize award is debated worldwide protesters in spain seem to care little about the prestige than their own survival for independence are heard loud and clear in the country's largest and wealthiest region of the lumia a clear indication the continent is losing that unity which the nobel committee has decided to. see reporting from madrid in spain investment adviser patrick counting believes the economic strategy of the leading economies of the the entire region and a financial slump. it's a terrible it's a damning indictment of everything that's wrong with the european union there's no

leadership there's no organization and everybody is surviving on a wing and a prayer hoping that the tooth fairy or some other miraculous being is going to suddenly see of the euro currency the problem is that once the e.u. gets a dogma well it tends to stick with it i mean somewhat like a dog with a stick really it puts it into its might and she could all around the sides it won't let go of it unfortunately what we're not seeing is the problem is that the northern european politicians lead particularly by mrs merkel in germany have decided that they can't ultimately give too much more money because they're not allowed to politically because their voters are against it but at the same time effectively they're in a situation where they're going to demand that are completely floored remedy is going to be used which is korea's austerity. syria has banned turkish civilian flights from entering its airspace and the latest escalation of tension between the countries this comes just days after turkey forced down a syrian passenger plane for allegedly transporting russian weapons to damascus

moscow says the cargo container think that harmless and illegal electronics. has more. they pointed their guns at us hungover put us on the ground then they drove us back to the plane into the public bruised arms in better dignity with an international scandal thrown in on top all in the name of peace at least that's the stance taken by the turkish authorities when they tried to justify forcefully grounding a syrian plane on route from moscow to damascus this is us. we in turkey only want peace and safety in this region that is our desire we would never have an incentive to start a war on carotid hasn't revealed exactly what was in the cargo of that plane though they do insist it was russian made a mission and technical equipment something moscow the mentally denies. there was certainly no armaments on this plane and they simply could not have been any ideals

the aircraft was carrying a cargo that was being shipped from russian supplier to a legitimate customer in a legitimate way it was a cargo of electrical supplies for radar stations this is jewel purpose equipment but it is not barred by any international conventions surely neither do turkish officials say where they received the tipoff about the suppose it weapons on board some of those have their suspicions this is washington telling prime minister early one who says he's so independent to go and go for it down the use the f. sixteen s for all its peace mongering talk and righteous outrage over russia's suppose a done women is to help out in peace efforts and cannot appear to be surprisingly open when it comes to supporting one side in the syrian conflict the rebel fighters it is supporting the rebels it's allowing the b.b.c. showed earlier this week large quantities of ammunition. to

enter syria. lebanese journalist unifor was described what she believed to be an arms delivery on the border between turkey and syria yet. the scene was real. dark clean filled with all of trees armed men and flashing lights from. syrian group takes its share in the leaves i was asked not to film the immensity the journalist you know was interrogated for days by turkish officials before being released when she was back in lebanon should realize the incriminating pictures she'd filmed on the turkish syrian border had been wiped while she was in custody some believe still iffy towards president assad has little to do with the situation in syria and everything to do with ambitions was devilish in this country as a major political player turkey is preparing itself for its one hundredth anniversary twenty twenty three it was the whole campaign of

a very ambitious platform of how turkey is building is going to position itself as a global power on cries establishing itself as a regional boss threatening a full out war with syria and openly violating by bombing kurdish space is not exactly what bond with all feats of diplomacy so in turkish officials to speak of peace and stability in the region their words are drowned out by the exchange of fire with their neighbors in tel aviv r.t. . the pentagon confirmed this week that u.s. troops have been sent to jordan which also named burst conflict in syria around one hundred fifty american officers are now stationed near the rest of the border there some u.s. lawmakers say the deployment was ordered by the white house without notifying congress which violates american law washington claims it's seeking to bolster jordan's military capabilities in case the conflict in syria spills over political commentator lou rockwell thinks washington is just trying to intimidate damascus

jordan has long been a. satellite the us is not actually. a province of the us and so why is the us pretty. these troops are first of all to imply that somehow syria is threatening jordan which of course is not true syria's got their hands full with the us inspired rebels who were trained by the way in turkey at a us air force base for the past several years before this all started so this is just a way to gin up the tension to bring on more trouble i know i think it's true the u.s. will not use its troops to invade syria but will try a libyan strategy of simply bombing people. from the air very possible. and you can find a full time line of the ongoing conflict in syria on our website our team dot com expert opinion extensive analysis and the latest news are only for you on. the last straw as us

a space shuttle endeavor makes its final journey to the california science center we have the pictures that are t. dot com. the race for russia's regions is on millions of people across the nation are casting ballots for candidates running for posts ranging from original has to mean a simple officials for the first time in eight years voters are also choosing governors themselves artie's medina question of explains. this day russian voters are judging for themselves who takes charge of their regions no more than twenty two millions of russians are expected to arrive at the polling stations and choose from an unprecedented number of candidates what is so interesting about this day is that it was introduced of last december's ways of government protests people during the protest were demanding changes to the current election system they also wanted to bring back direct regional elections to see more representative the opposition

in parliament at the time done president wrapped the old system regional officials picked by the government and also made it easier for the new. political parties to emerge giving a more competitive complex and to the local elections just the introduction of elections for regional governors is now being implemented gradually and this is a very important step in the creation of a civil society civil institutions is giving more responsibility to the voters and could also increase the level of professionalism of the elected officials as they sat before this thing goes voting day takes place for the first time in the last eight years and gives russians an opportunity to choose for themselves who they believe is worth the governing still to come this hour turning a jailed punk band into a global brand pussy riot have become a main recognized worldwide making some question the real goals and objectives of

the phenomenon. and an all out of debate as the battle for washington's top job nears the homestretch we'll look at how the clash of vice presidential hopefuls has affected the race that and plenty more stories 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 will be archaic by next year when the next one comes out every black friday many 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 of worshiping at the altar of the i phone it's certainly won't improve your country but that's just my opinion. by horse. by trucks or. by cars for the road. as a carpenter. as

a stove senator. a farmer. as an assistant. as afraid. as a relative. delivering post delivering goods. technology innovation all the developments around russia we've. covered. welcome back to our tease the weekly on. a member of the jailed russian punk band pussy riot was freed on appeal this week although her two colleagues failed to get their sentences overturned in august the trio were handed two year terms for an anti putin stunt in russia's main orthodox cathedral are probably boyko reports on

the way the band members have been able to cash in on the hype that surrounded the case. a media frenzy breaks out. the same old faces as supporters and critics gathered for the herring. from her successful appeal everyone wanted a piece of the band member released on probation but you. remain tight lipped leaving her lawyers to do the. i'm happy that i managed to help the person i just did my job. last week the now freed. her original legal team her new defense change strategy arguing in court that their client didn't take part in the now notorious prank where. she was in fact chewed out by god the chance to join her bandmates and protest. argument was accepted

by the. believe that the strategy of the. defense team was the women sentence says. judicial system. to see. personal case some. members went back to jail so. i think she decided to get some. free. says they've been flooded with calls from foreign promoters organize a pussy riot. that could six hundred million euros western and russian celebrities have called for the women's release in international considers them prisoners of conscience. t.

shirts are all the rage. famous pop stars around the world look at the way we're dollars dressed look at adele look at all the others. we can do as well as that or we could do something different in the heat in the idea that going into the cathedral and seeing their blossom of songs because that. would in fact be something reduce with the media circus in full swing and the concert requests pouring in brand percy riot isn't set to go away any time soon. r t moscow and best to give journalist filming all slings as they resulting popularity and vandalism in the wake of the baron's trial raises a big question over who's really benefited from the sentence. let's not forget was else is going on around the world around this case because you have got loads of problems at the in a way you know part of the punishment is to stop these people cashing in on the

free publish to the you know this probably there's been two prizes awarded to these people one from the lennon oh no from which is a prize for peace which i find incredible since this has been such a divisive case the other is the luther prize which has been awarded boy the city of wittenberg which is where protestantism started and what's happened is the city has awarded the prize for the people of the city and they are protesting against that saying you know we don't actually endorse this sacrilege i think there's something really a bit sad about an organization that defines itself point opposition to the church and it's quite clear through this court case that's what this is about we've even had the desecration of orthodox crosses across eastern europe in different parts of eastern europe in support of pussy riot so this is actually about i think an attack on the cathedral an attack on the church. libyan armed forces continue to surround the opposition stronghold of bani walid the towns already claimed at least ten

lives after a series of armed confrontations on the eastern outskirts of the city earlier this week residents have been left without access to basic necessities and are calling for international rescue for the siege was partially lifted on wednesday allowing the red cross to access the city for the first time since the standoff began libya currently ruled by the national general congress remains all stable ever since last year's uprising. outstaying and more market alfy journalist james corbat believes the conflict exposes they were in reality outpost gadhafi in libya. it just goes to show the deeply divided lines in the country right now tribal we ethnically in terms of geography it's a deeply divided country and there are a number of different problems. that are playing itself out politically in libya right now and this just goes to show once again that that not only is libya ungoverned to a large extent at the moment but it is perhaps given its current political state

ungovernable in this particular instance we have that the prime minister being voted out in a vote of no confidence because he was unable to form a cabinet and basically this is due to both the pressures from the people themselves there was a popular protest movement basically saying that each individual city was complaining they were under represented in this proposed cabinet and you have the political dealings with the major parties behind the scenes including an offshoot of the muslim brotherhood which is trying to get into a greater position of power in the country so there's a lot of power politics playing out and there is no easy solution on the horizon for the people and will be really the country is descending into a type of chaos that is the really the predictable result of this type of regime change through violence that we've seen time and again throughout the past decade from if afghanistan to iraq to libya and potentially now toward syria now let's take a brief look at some of the day's oral gunmen have fire on muslim worshippers in northern nigeria killing at least twenty the attack took place near

a mosque as people were leaving the building after prayers authorities are investigating who could be behind the attack. islams fighters in mali have threatened to open the doors of hell for french citizens in the area if paris further pushes for armed intervention the un security council has unanimously voted to accept a french drafted resolution calling for a military mission to liberate mali is rebel held north islams groups have controlled two thirds of the country since april after the government was overthrown in a military coup the army took power claiming the authorities are more month to counter the rebellion in the north. at least two militants have been killed and one injured in an israeli air strike in northern gaza the israeli military reportedly carried out four strikes said to target sites of terrorist activity a civilian was also said to have been killed in the attacks the strikes were

a hostile t.v. debate democrat joe biden and republican paul ryan sparred over a host of foreign policy and domestic matters he's going to need to can't show their worlds apart and such biting issues as the crisis in syria and what's washington's next step should be over iran and afghanistan t.v. voting suggested there was no clear winner california state university professor paul sheldon foote feels there can't be a favorite in such a dishonest debate we are after the first debate between obama and romney political cartoonist group picture trip don't go as fighting each other with their noses this is no different these been one other way to live throughout neither side would attack the other on things in which they were both rebel and that's why you have to pick these tiny little issues biden was biden said correctly that. ryan had voted to acquit the iraq and afghanistan wars on the credit card helping to cause

the deficit is actually right he was right about that he didn't bother to say the democrats will report right and of course he's one of the ones who says that the only way he says why total world domination by total military power. at the same time you're going to want to say that iran was the world's leading supporter of a terrorism for example in back to america and saudi arabia one more terrorist organizations in the region than anybody else it's time for them to quit whining start you know that's what the american voters with the world and a couple of minutes we'll introduce you to the russian builder of a modern now less arc to stay with our. on the march under god these men and women are walking one of the longest and

probably the loneliest road in the world they reenacting march into exile made by thousands of czarist russia. if i was here three hundred years ago i may have disappeared my local lord i may have deserted from the army or a variety of other crimes the result was the same like my fellow prisoners around me i've got a long and very cold walk ahead into exile in siberia it took them years to get there summers and winters entire years a lot of people died on the way this group in the western siberian region of omsk discovered their living on the only surviving stretch of the original nine thousand kilometers of the siberian exiles track that's had no modern changes made to it is going to discover that he's descended from some of these exiles and decided to build a museum telling a story he and his re-enact is now receiving letters from all over the world to show them what it was like for these bloody good earnest it's scary to put the

shackles on of course but it's interesting if we don't remember our history we will have no future. it's a monument to one of the restructures cruelest chapters. the city serves as the capital of anticommunist white russian leader admiral culture in the civil war from one thousand nine hundred to nine hundred ninety whilst in residence he lived here there's a study of the man like the maintenance of this building has remained a taboo right up until the present day or we still receive hate mail saying that he hanged a lot of people and was famous for severe punishment it's all true but it was at a time of civil war both sides were monstrously cruel it is sadly the theme of cruelty which links so. much of olympus history to the rest of russia's particularly of exile where they were not a criminal. nicholai
