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 add coal in thirty five countries across the world over the next several weeks the global and psi all sorry 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 are 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 of the crises and the capitalist system right now in spain transfer private debt to public that and these causes huge cuts public spending and health system and it took a shit 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 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 assange should be getting the so ward 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 this but this 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 riots in the streets more social unrest more governments failing and 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 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 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 antwerp one of europe's keep ports this is regarded as a breakthrough for supporters of flemish independence and as belgian politician philip class says it's been a long time coming. the idea is gaining ground that it's the most important thing because we are having a lot of problems now in belgium we see that for instance 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 deficits 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 it's really two separate countries already within belgium and we see a completely different political consensus on the flemish on the well 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 unlikely to take part because of their involvement in other conflicts while countries like germany and france are expected to play a leading roles international affairs in defense analyst laotians oste says great

care should be taken in choosing the countries contributing to any peacekeeping effort. let us not forget. it 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 to their intelligence services are quite simple be supporting the free syrian army they said problem. it one of the proposals i think for. mr brahimi peace to try to get this ceasefire on the part of the syrian government but how can this syrian government released e-coli implement a cease fire when the rebels don't want the ceasefire because they want to steer the government militarily and they know they have the backing of the might their states and all 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 he goes while the

u.n. struggles to end violence in syria tensions rising with turkey or is now closed as airspace to syrian civilian flights echoing an earlier move made by damascus this after turkey intercepted a syrian passenger jet wednesday claiming it was illegally carrying russian made weapons allegations moscow strongly denies arena lucia cover points. they pointed their guns at those hungover from the put those on the ground then they drove us back to the plane into vehicles. bruised arms and 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 us. 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 ammunition and technical equipment something moscow the mentally denies. and 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 it was a cargo of electrical supplies for radar stations this is jewel purpose equipment but it is not barred by any international conventions that 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 in and go for it down the use the f. sixteen s for all its peace mongering talk and righteous outrage over russia's supposed on women is 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 us the. large quantities of ammunition and rockets. to enter syria. lebanese journalist uniform was described what she believed to be an arms delivery on the border between turkey and syria yet. the scene was the real. dark clean field with all of trees armed men and flashing lights from the trunks packed with weapons each syrian group takes its share in leaves i was asked not to film the immensity of the scene 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 a t. towards president assad has little to do with the situation in syria and everything

to do with your two arms ambitions i was devilish in this country as 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 with a global power conquer rise establishing itself as a regional boss threatening a whole lot worse 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 r.t. . the pentagon could affirm thursday that it sent its troops to jordan with some one hundred fifty u.s. officers now stationed near the rest of the border with syria washington claims it's to bolster jordan's military capabilities of its neighbors conflict escalates libertarian commentator lou rockwell thinks the u.s.

could be trying to use the move 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 jude 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 endlessly from the air very possible still to come this hour bahrain security forces again crackdown on peaceful protesters demonstrators demanding political reforms as the monarchy strengthens ties with its military backer the u.k. . and as

a moscow airport frees one of the three members of the pussy riot punk protest band we look at what could be behind the decision that still to go. but before we get to that iran says it might consider limiting its enrichment of your on higher grade uranium if it's allowed to have fuel for research reactor is the revival of a previous offer to try and break the talks deadlock over the country's nuclear program but germany wants to hold a hard line urging the e.u. to heighten the already harsh sanctions professor mohammad marandi from tehran university thinks iran's policy hasn't changed. the iranians are willing to be more open and allow more intrusive inspections and they're willing. to talk about enriching uranium at twenty percent under certain conditions but in general nothing has changed and increasing sanctions by the west will only make things more

difficult because the iranians see the sanctions that are being imposed by western governments as inhuman the intention is to make ordinary iranians suffer there is a consensus that this is not this doesn't have much to do with the nuclear program the issue is iran iran's independence iran is a country that will not bow down to the western powers and the europeans and americans want to run to neo like saudi arabia like most of the other countries in the region and that the objective to make ordinary iranians suffer. polling stations have now closed after russians nationwide voted in the so-called single election day there are more than fifty seven thousand people standing for our positions ranging from regional heads to municipal officials and for the first time in eight years voters got to directly choose their governors artie's medina coach you know has more. the single voting day in russia has answers and now the

and other countries do that is because they want to keep the brain as an ally the hadiths 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 are not refuse to realize that they have a huge amounts of leverage they have a lot of ability to convince about cradle to pressure them into reform perhaps they missed 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 was a democratic change but the reality is the people who are behind democracy they're calling for change i didn't have to be against the west entrance that she could be very much in the interests of the west and i know the rest of the world democratic and stable country turning now to some other stories making headlines across the globe libya's national congress is elected a new prime minister don was voted into office after his predecessor failed to form a government except acceptable to the divided national assembly he was a longtime opponent of deposed leader colonel gadhafi and human rights advocate
