thank you for joining our tease the weekly this sunday with me karen tara well the global noise is underway a worldwide protest and some thirty countries in which crowds are calling for an end to austerity the biggest demonstrations so far have been in spain just hours after the e.u. won this year's nobel peace prize and doesn't say at the ship's q. reports from madrid things aren't looking too peaceful right now in europe. the union needs for nudists have over six decades contributed to the advancement of peace and reconciliation and democracy on human 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 lately protests

like this will echo in thirty five countries across the world over the next week the global hands ios terry to voice 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 is now unemployed and this grim story is pretty much the same for portugal and greece tom is one of the leaders of the protest movement in madrid he says people have just about had enough behind it the crises and capitalist system right now in spain france private debt came to public that and these causes huge cuts to public spending and health system and it took a share and it's affecting millions of poor people it's producing huge unemployment 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 the 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 the fact that he did not win this prize is will be an eternal stain on the nobel committee no one has done more to push peace than julian assange should be getting the so war 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. it 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 or europe bombing syria europe is going bombing afghanistan or iraq yugoslavia a few years ago yes it's because they're trying to say ok guys we're giving you a 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 riots in the streets more social unrest more governments failing well perhaps even countries failing and perhaps even people pulling out of the euro could lead to war again in europe 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 calls for independence are heard loud and clear in the country's largest and wealthiest region at the lumia a clear indication the continent is losing that unity which the nobel committee has decided to. see reporting from madrid in spain the e.u. may have got the nobel peace prize for promoting european democracy aimed at spanish journalist doubt though says that rich that's rich coming from

a set up like process. were piling up more and more because of these fellows who already have a banking bailout which is worth what we don't know exactly how much yet but probably will be around fifty billion euros and then leave for spain goes for the four day old will be even more than that so yes i guess debt has become a common currency of the european union rather than the euro itself but there is now this central issue of the economic crisis we've come to a point in which it has become unbearable it makes impossible growth and it forces us least pressures of austerity which are basically stalling the economy and killing growth the reason why i think that the european union sits in the east is because it's easier than trying to solve the underlying problem here no matter whether you have the nobel peace prize the fact is that there were a peon union does not have a working a functioning democracy. turkey

has now closed its airspace to syrian civilian flights going in a similar move by damascus earlier this week turkey intercepted a syrian passenger plane claiming it carried russian made munitions for government forces asked us as the cargo was only electronic equipment for radar stations and that all of it is legal. reports. they pointed their guns at those hungover and put those on the ground then the drugs back to the plane into the. roof d'armes them 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 in syrian plane on route from moscow to damascus. we in turkey only want peace and safety in this region that is our desire but we would never have an incentive to start

a war hasn't revealed exactly what was in the cargo of that plane though they do insist it was russian made on the mission and technical equipment something moscow the mentally denies. you can use it was certainly no armaments on this plane and they simply could not have been any the aircraft was carrying a cargo that was being shipped from a legitimate russian supplier to a legitimate customer in a legitimate way there 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 receive the tipoff about the suppose it weapons onboard sound though have their suspicions this is washington telling prime minister who says he's so independent to go in and go for it down we use the f. sixteen s for all it's peace mongering talk and righteous outrage over russia's supposed unwillingness to help out in peace efforts in caracas peers 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. large quantities of ammunition. to enter syria. lebanese journalist uniform was described what she believed to be an arms delivery on the border between turkey and syria. the scene was surreal barbed wire a dark plane filled with all of trees armed men and in flashing lights from trucks packed with weapons each syrian group takes its share in leaves i was asked not to film but the immensity of the scene with the journalist you know was interrogated for days by turkish officials before being released once she was back in lebanon should realize the incriminating pictures should filmed on the turkish theory. border had been wiped while she was in custody some believe still a g.

towards president assad has little to do with the situation in syria and everything to do with two arms 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 for alliance is going to position itself with a global power on cries establishing itself as a regional boss threatening a full out war with syria and openly violating iraqi sovereignty by bombing kurdish bases not exactly what bomb but all feats of diplomacy so in turkish officials to speak of peace and stability in the region their words are drowned out by the sound of an exchange of fire with their neighbors in tel aviv r.t. the pentagon confirmed on thursday and that it sent its troops to jordan with some one hundred fifty u.s. officers now stationed near the border with rest of syria washington claims it's to bolster jordan's military capabilities if its neighbors conflict escalates

political analysts new believes america is trying to intimidate damascus. jordan has long been a bit of call it a satellite the us is not actually an ally it's a province of the us and so why is the us putting in these troops are first of all to imply that some of 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 last past several years before this all started so this is just a way to juge gin up the tension to bring on more trouble i don't i think it's true the u.s. will not use its troops to invade syria but will they try a libyan strategy of simply bombing people endlessly from the air very possible. ahead this hour about crane security forces once again lash out at peaceful protesters they are demanding political reforms as the monarchy reinforces ties

with its powerful military backer great brain. and as one of the pussy riot protesters is freed on appeal our team asks us really benefiting from the publicity that's just ahead. 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 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 under cations 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 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 gods certainly won't improve your country but that's just my. admission. gritty take three days for free. range free. three stooges free. download free volunteers video for your media project

arrested in the latest rally uprisings began in february two thousand and eleven when the country's shiite majority demanded that longstanding sunni leaders step down britain though has signed a military treaty with the kingdom seen as a sign of support for the under-fire regime dominic of a cab from bahrain's justice and development movement believes western nations have too much to lose from reforms. doesn't send a particularly fantastic message when you're sending one. to a country that is using weapons against its people on a daily basis to kill to injure to crush protests to crush an essentially democracy but i think. the reason why the why the us and other countries do that is because they want to keep the brain 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 or they refuse to realize they have a huge amount of leverage they have

a lot of ability to convince them to pressure them into reform that perhaps they missed on. 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 they you know if there were a 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 west interests actually i could be very much in the interests of the west and i know the rest of the world to have a democratic and stable country wednesday saw a turning point for the posse of protesters and one of the group us freight on probation although her two bandmates will stay in prison they have been jailed for religiously motivated hooliganism and all gassed after their performance in russia's main orthodox cathedral artist pollard like a has the story. a media frenzy one that breaks out any pussy riot court hearing the same old faces as supporters and critics gathered for the herring after emerging from her successful appeal everyone wanted

a piece of the one band member released on probation that you did in a somewhat savage remain tight lipped even when you lawyers to do the talking. about the story i am very happy that i managed to help a person but i just did my job. last week the now freed band member fired her original legal team her new defense change strategy arguing in court that their client didn't take part in the now notorious punk prayer in most cases maine orthodox cathedral she was in fact chewed out by gods before she got the chance to join her band mates and their so-called protest start that argument was accepted by the court some trial observers believe that the strategy of the original pussy riot defense team wasn't to reduce the women's sentences but rather to expose flaws in russia's judicial system for all the world to see by switching to lawyers that

focused on her personal case some might say that she walked out of court for a while her fellow band members went back to jail so. i think she decided to get some real lawyers the won't be fighting in order to humiliate russia in the face of the worst but actually free her one major russian concert organizers says they've been flooded with calls from foreign promoters offering to organize a pussy riot world tour that could earn up to six hundred million euros western and russian celebrities have called for the women's release an international considers them prisoners of conscience free pussy riot t. shirts are all the rage. that's the way you attract attention. they always look for. popstars around the world look at the way we're dollars dressed look at that they'll look at all the others. we can do as well as that or we could do something different and they hated the idea of going into the cathedral and seeing their

blasphemous songs because that. would in fact be something reduce with the media circus in full swing and the constant requests pouring in brand percy riot isn't set to go away any time soon polly boyko r t moscow investigative journalist timing all slang says the resulting popularity and vandalism in the wake of the bounce trial reza big question over who's really benefiting from the sentence. let's not forget what's else is going on around the world around this case because you have got loads of problems with the in a way you know part of the punishment is to stop these people cashing in on the free publish through the published 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 sad about an organization that defines itself by opposition to the church and it's quite clear through this court case but that's what this is about we've even had that there's a creation of all three dogs 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 his scars are the iraq war remain and are still visible on the faces of its children all mine read how a recently revealed report shows that british and american ammunitions being linked to a shocking rise in birth defects after the u.s. led invasion. plus how's this for a marine corps ukraine's training of bottlenose dolphins and reviving an old soviet project to patrol the seas with military mammals.

cross access to the city journalist james corbett believes the current chaos is a common result of violent regime change. it just goes to show that the deeply divided lines in the country right now are tribally 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 is 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 really the predictable result of this type of regime change through violence that we've seen time and again throughout the past decade from afghanistan to iraq to libya and potentially now toward syria. sunday's election day in russia with millions of people deciding on candidates ranging from regional heads to local officials. and for the first time in eight years voters get to directly choose their governors as question of our reports. this day russian voters are judging for themselves who takes charge of their regions now 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 those days is that it was introduced to a following last december's ways of government protest the biggest in russia's recent history people during the protests were demanding changes to the current

election system they also wanted to bring back direct regional elections into see more representative be opposition in parliament at the time than pres than repeating the date of scrapped the old system regional officials hand-picked by the government and also made it easier for a new political parties to emerge giving a more compassionate of complection 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 institutions giving more responsibility to the voters and also increase the level of professionalism of officials as i said before this single 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. now some more headlines from around the world today gunmen have opened

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 the march into exile made by thousands and 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 what my fellow prisoners around me i've got a long and very cold walk ahead into exile in siberia yet 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 they're living on the only surviving stretch of the original nine thousand kilometers of the siberian exiles track that's had no modern changes made

today i'm talking to daniel who's a conservative member of the european parliament he's about to bring his euro skepticism to the heart of brussels mr houghton thanks for talking to us now apparently doing the rounds in brussels is a popular joke which says that if the european union was a country applying to join itself it would be rejected for not being democratic enough to amazing thing and we've stopped being amazed by it simply because of familiarity but we should be shocked by it that the only body that can propose new legislation in the european union is the unelected european.
