crowds of the most common sites across the award winning continent lately protests like this will add coal in thirty five countries across the world over the next several weeks the global hands iow stary 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 is one of the leaders of the protest movement in madrid he says people have just about had enough . crises and the capitalist system right now in spain transfer private back into 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 you can employment 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 terminal stain on the nobel committee no one has done more to push peace than julian assange 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 ward 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 you know it isn't bombing afghanistan or iraq yugoslavia

a few years ago yes it is but there is 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 rise in the streets more social unrest more governments failing 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 cut the lumia a clear indication the continent is losing that unity which the nobel committee has decided to. see reporting from madrid in spain.

in belgium meanwhile separatists are securing big gains in the country's dutch speaking region of flanders the leader of the flemish nationalist party is looking to become mayor of and one of europe's key port cities it's regarded as a breakthrough for supporters of flemish independence and his belgian politician philip class says it's been a long time coming. the idea is gaining ground that's the most important thing because we are having a lot of problems now in belgium we see that france is the federal government doesn't have a majority on the flemish side in the federal parliament although the flemings make up the majority of the population in belgium the federal government doesn't have a majority in flanders and that's of course is a big problem it's a problem of democratic deficit and this means this government doesn't have a real democratic legitimacy in flanders voted for comes something completely different that we are getting now with this federal government and friends is an

economic economically socially powerful prosperous region we have we are already if we have a flemish nation we have a flemish people you have to know that belgium is an artificial country you it's really two separate countries already within belgium we see a completely different political consensus on the federation on the world will lose side and flanders would be perfectly able to have to have an independent state and be a member of the you know european union the u.n. and arab league envoy to syria has drawn up plans for a three thousand strong peacekeeping force that could see european soldiers police any potential troops u.s. and u.k. forces are likely to take part because of their involvement in other conflicts where countries like germany and france are expected to play a leading roles international affairs and defense analysts lie oshie zazi thinks a great care should be taken into using which countries contribute to a peacekeeping force. but that's not for get. countries like france

united kingdom have declared that they are supporting the insurgency. they have so they're providing non-lethal support but in fact it seems the intelligence services are quite simple be supporting the free syrian army they said probably. it one of the proposals i think for. mr brahimi peace to try to get a cease fire on the part of the syrian government but how can this your own government released e-coli implement a cease fire when the rebels don't want the ceasefire because they won through the government militarily and they know they have the backing of the united states. and members of the european union closer to saudi arabia of qatar and oh there it will feed persian gulf arab states turkey of course a member of nato your them so. we have to see how it goes while the u.n. struggles to end violence in syria tensions are on the rise with turkey on her as

now closed its airspace to syrian civilian flights echoing an earlier move made by damascus this after turkey intercepted a syrian passenger plane wednesday claiming it was illegally carrying russian made weapons allegations strongly denied by moscow or he's or in evolution government ports. they pointed their guns at those hungover from the put those on the ground then they drove us 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 force for the grounding a syrian plane on route from moscow to damascus this is us. we in turkey own want peace and safety in this region that is our desire which we would never have an incentive to started or 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. you can use it 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 do one who says he's so independent to go in and go for it down the use the f. sixteen s for all it's peace mongering talk and righteous outrage over russia's supposed on 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

a major political player turkey is preparing itself for its one hundredth anniversary and 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 can rise establishing itself as a regional boss threatening awful lot war with syria and openly violating iraqi sovereignty by bombing kurdish spaces not exactly what bombs 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 in the god of sco r.t. the pentagon confirmed thursday that it sent its troops to jordan with some one hundred fifty u.s. officers now stationed near the border with the rest of syria washington claims it's to bolster jordan's military capabilities if its neighbors conflict escalates libertarian commentator lou rockwell thinks the u.s. could be trying to intimidate damascus. jordan has long been a better 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 past several years before this all started so this is just a way to 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 the trial libyan strategy of simply bombing people endlessly from the air very possible. still to come this hour a bahrain security forces again crackdown on peaceful protesters demonstrators demanding political reforms as the monarchy reinforces ties with its powerful military and get back or very brittle. and as a moscow port he's one of one of three put band members of the group o.c.

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 free 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 the truly free. one major russian. 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. famous pop stars around the world look at the way but always dressed look at that they'll look at all the others. we can do as well as that or we can do something

protests calling for democratic reforms. will be asleep 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 why the u.s. and other countries do that is because they want to keep the brain as an ally iran is seen as an ally of western countries and therefore they want to try and keep that relationship while these governments don't realize that they've got to fuse to realize they have a huge amount of leverage they have a lot of ability to convince about cradle to pressure them into reform perhaps they miss on. the strength they have will 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 who are behind the forty four democracy that calling for change i didn't have to be against the west entrance actually i could be very much in the interests of the west and i know the rest of

people also wanted to see more opposition in parliament so at that moment than president dmitry medvedev scrapped the old system which the regional officials and regional governors hand picked by the government and he also made it easier for new political parties to emerge on the political arena by giving a more competitive complection to the local elections and this day we saw thirty two different political parties are taking place across the country we have just started to receive some early results and house we know prime minister agreed to be defined as much with the members of the united party and he emphasized about the united trust the party has shown better results out of this regional elections than they did to the state duma elections that took place in december last year and as i said before the single vote today was taking place and for the first time in russia in the last eight years turning now to some other stories making headlines across
