condemnation of impending government cuts to education capping three days of industrial action for journalist tom gill the summit decision isn't directly to the democratic foundations of york. as a big time. democratic principles that of course is part and parcel of the of the whole process of european integration for quite some time now. with the removal of mama tree fiscal policy from national governments effectively since the creation of the same currency there's been a huge democratic deficit. proposals that will give more power to elected officials in brussels and from. that amount of power to. stronger states. is fundamentally unfair but practically is rolling back. the whole principles of what european integration was about when going it was founded. after the second

world war the proposed changes to the e.u.'s fiscal policy will allow brussels to tell member states how to spend their money towing mander is chairman of the libertarian party of the netherlands thinks it will in danger the european people. because the european union gives four hours what will ultimately lead to. big governments it's going to keep growing if you want to keep. our reform it means . all territories. and it will lead to new competition so we sure are going to be nice and when you don't have the. rest of your powers to get a member states to distribute this money what will happen to the warmer and. more money the simple solution to get congress to spend less money it's the stuff that they know if there's numerous below money they will have to cut spending

european financial turmoil has been accompanied by massive protests violence and often havoc in the streets fine pictures of all this at r.t. dot com and also online human trafficking horror in the u.k. as a new official report shows that the trade of people's lives is on the rise in the country with even children falling victim. and the vegas no smoking so whenever that's what russia could be common twenty fifteen if new anti-tobacco law is approved banning smoking in all public places including bars and restaurants. the u.s. fleet of unmanned planes known as drones could balloon and size of the cia has urged the white house to approve its expansion the agency seems to be ignoring the latest statement by the pakistani interior minister who said eighty percent of those killed by american man air strikes were civilians are generating has more.

they don't even come the hover overhead with an incessant buzz the watch they see and they kill. dozens of deaths all in the name of security of the united states there are terrorists hold. up in those mountains who murdered three thousand americans they are plotting to strike again this precise claim of self-defense in the face of the ever present terror danger has been in the works for over eight years now more than three hundred drone attacks in the tribal administrative areas located on the border between afghanistan and pakistan have taken according to different estimates between two and three thousand lives the problem however isn't just with quantity as it is still unclear whether those killed are actually terrorists the americans themselves often don't know who they've hit and there's huge discrepancy over the focus you know that we follow and find out that a lot more civilians are being killed but these are the people that the americans

don't tell you about and they actually class these people over essentially by scholars from new york and stanford university's found that approximately two percent of the total number of deaths were actually terrorists. among the remaining several thousand victims of the jones hundred seventy five were children at one point the u.s. military argued that everyone who was killed in the operations was a militant some believe this stems from americans ignorance in matters concerning foreign cultures what generally happens in the tribal areas every person that walks around almost in the same clothes he wears a white or a color chilliwack amused which is just a guess and that their grass and every tribal person carries a weapon and a good forty seven which is good money to the society in traditions. officially pakistan acknowledges the need to wipe out terrorists in the area but is adamantly

against such broad military action on its territory something they have been very vocal about it wants right. to protect their own good and under forty one strikes. against pakistan civilian but washington is quick to hit back with threats of cutting out french aid an important factor in its relationship with islam a body though pakistan boasts a nuclear arsenal they admit it's hardly the answer to their financial woes and islamabad temper is running out when twenty four pakistani soldiers were killed in the u.s. an airstrike last year the country closed down the nato supply route for seven months and reopened it was only after an official apology from the us secretary of state the united states henry manipulated cynically manipulated and used forces unprepared when the same forces follow their own political or religious agenda the us seems to have the option to god to stop the leak except it's to scrap the tax

the financial aid to the us the point i think the us was a choice was absent the price to the us was so was the was caught. robert naiman policy director of the in a panel think tank just foreign policy things pakistan is standing a sick and tired message to the us. independent reports say that the only two percent of the destined drone strikes since two thousand and four in top level terrorist leader so that's not the actual policy he narrowly targeted. terrorists here so that the alternative to a policy that cavalierly kill civilians is to not have a policy to cavalierly kill civilians the baucus time governments now is putting real pressure on the us by giving the international media something to a point on in terms of their claims about civilian deaths and weighing in on the

side of the n.g.o.s and then a researcher's if the pakistani government really decides that it's going to stop the drone strikes by just any government can do that and we may be seeing the government moving in that direction. and coming out ahead here in our clearing out the remains of the old regime forces linked to his new government move into a former gadhafi stronghold killing and wounding civilians. plus a top rated show with a very limited cast we examine why the u.s. presidential debates remain the privilege of just two candidates this by the supports voter show for independent bronner's. and get all the details on what could become the deal of the decade making losses for also have the biggest oil producer in the world that and much more coming up for you stay with us here on icy .

homeland security now has robot tunas seriously robot fish the drones in the sky spying on you just weren't good enough effect they've revealed that they're going to be using robotic hummingbirds soon who how cute these things can only see you though above the water now during the one percent or less of your life that you spend swimming homeland security will be keeping you safe since nine eleven we've heard ad nauseum that we need to be kept safe so americans have given up their rights but have things gotten that much safer honestly has any of the stuff ushered in some sort of peaceful utopia no it hasn't the best terrorism prevention would be to not bomb secular regimes in other countries like libya some fanatical wackos come to power that would help way more than robotic spy fish i hear

a lot of people talk about personal responsibility a lot of speeches and yes personal responsibility is a key component of the american way slit people provide for their own defense what is going to protect you more a shotgun under the bed or terminator two so homeland security can of tuna right but that's just my opinion. what's the strangest attempt of a military take on. the us president trying to overthrow a foreign country's government but his strategic games. and america recognized its

defeat. if cuba managed to cope with its victory. the cuban missile crisis games in reality. i mean so familiar city in europe and the hosts of the twenty fourteen winter olympics. see. some. days it. comes. to see it's so true.

welcome back you're watching r.t. live from moscow now u.s. voters are waiting for a final on air faceoff between barack obama and mitt romney before making their choice at a ballot box but while the debates have become one of america's most watch shows taking part in them remains of privilege for the chosen two candidates from outside the two main political parties almost never appear in televised confrontations green party candidate jill stein and her running mate were arrested while trying to gain entrance to the latest debate and that's despite tines name appearing on eighty five percent of the ballots across the country than on skate of the green

party's campaign manager believes the two party domination is due to outdated laws and corporate control the reality is that there's nothing in our constitution which prevents a multi-party system from emerging here in the u.s. but we do have laws on the books all across the country and we also have the actions of private corporations that have grown up over the last sixty years to prevent independent parties from challenging the two establishment parties here in the united states the laws that we have in the books prevent or make it very difficult for independent parties to get on the ballot to give voters that choice those laws date from the cold war they date from the mccarthy era in which there was a fear of communism and socialism and they tried to make it very difficult for progressive party some particular to emerge here at the green party we have overcome many of those challenges jill stein is on eighty five percent of the ballots yet there still preventing her from taking part in the debate if you look at the success of the green party despite all the obstacles we face it says that there is

a great demand for the greens people vote for the greens here in the u.s. . army units are reportedly having to worthily be in town of bani walid the area around which is to be a bastion of the old regime has been under siege for the last two weeks and saw over a dozen people killed at a standoff with government linked fighters on thursday activists and journalists don says those behind the latest attacks against civilians there should be punished . i'm getting numerous in europe well actually reports from residents of bani walid that indeed the first so called non-government they call themselves the state obviously it's not a state it's four hundred militias conducting more brutal across libya are are sieging but he will leave at the moment including with grad rockets and with chemical weapons you know at a time when human rights watch and amnesty the very organizations that gave the human rights cover for all the atrocities in the libya conflict have suddenly

stated that the rebels are killed around over sixty of gadhafi is convoy a year ago nearly to the day and executed gadhafi himself and of course they did because it was all over you tube from the very first tape of the libyan rebellion the atrocities of the rebels today we're seeing another siege before we saw the siege of sirte on the people of ben he wanted civilians to why isn't the united nations putting in one nine hundred seventy three resolution in this situation. apart from libya it's the syrian conflict which could prove a powder cag was a potential to inflame the whole region today's crossed our gas discuss next hour whether those who backed regime change in syria could ever become beacons of democracy for the embattled state. i don't think that the saudi royal family or the qataris are out of flame horde of human rights you know they are not they're not the leaders absolutely but i think it's inaccurate to say that all countries will support them are undemocratic look at turkey turkey is

a very democratic country look at egypt egypt has recently had a revolution and it's been my friend i actually found out where this is all a democracy in turkey let's take the democracy internally because i do my thing if it does took a guarantee is a democracy we are going to add to them a crowd think elections unless the erdogan won fair and square and are solid on ours and i thought i was on my not at this and thought to be i've been a lot of to the right as well been thought to be what the what is that what the where out of that i just of the key. doesn't. want to. hear what unites us and take a look at some of the stories from around the world you're already on the search has been killed and one more injured in clashes with anti-government protesters in bahrain the unrest there began a family or anyone else here one of the country's majority shia population rose of

gams the sunni ruling dynasty the government has been cracking down on the uprising detaining those trying to voice their own dissatisfaction just to reach the leave four people were arrested for twitter messages faming king prosecutors say they will face an urgent criminal trial. suspected al qaeda gunmen have attacked a military base in southern yemen killing at least thirteen soldiers and losing the same number of their own men the battle started with a car bomb blast before militants continue their offensive on a coastal base from the sea the region has seen fierce fighting between the army and as a country tries to battle militants. let's switch to financial matters now brianna we're talking about a cave here for a third day an hour row so what is the latest well the latest is the fact that russia's oil giant rolls in there has submitted an official offer for

a fifty percent stake and apparently the brits are discussing this all for and we're expecting to hear from them later in the day but for that now let's hear from our you know all over who'll be reporting on the story as they peter please bring us up to date with the latest what is happening. will those the bosses are in london for talks they're trying to buy out the piece fifty percent share in t.n. k b p is believed to be somewhere in the region of between twenty five to twenty eight billion dollars will be needed. secure that fifty percent share of a. total of the last the other fifty percent is owned by b.p.'s russian partners they're also in the. should be able to completely take over the whole of. the largest publicly traded oil company in the world saying goes there's no reward without risk and the risk taking putting this deal into place is in terms of debt should they take over the whole of b.p.

they could be in line to the tune of around sixty billion dollars in perspective it's around the same european nations. but what they're hoping on is a high oil price to give them a return. on their investment essentially if they're playing poker they've got a good they've gone all in and they're just hoping that the guy isn't holding four aces now how going to pay they simply don't have twenty eight billion dollars they're going to be it's expected that they'll be offering a lump sum of money somewhere between ten and twenty percent of stock to be a fifty percent share now b.p. for this site they don't want to be out of russia entirely they just want to be out of their current partnership they want to be able to have access to. a lot of other people want the exploration rights for oil in the arctic so those negotiations ongoing behind closed doors in london any news comes out of there. thank you very

much peter and i like comparison there thank you very much and we'll be hearing from you throughout the day but for now that's all we have time for in the business to stay with i see because we will take you behind the scenes of a standoff that brought the world on the brink of a nuclear world war three our special report on the cuban missile crisis coming up shortly. looters that takes your breath away a few tourists travel to these paul it's no prepackaged confort but the joy of the wild is guaranteed if gagne's a zoology professor he works in the u.s. and travels to these remote areas in russia every summer as he says he confines untouched landscapes like this anywhere else in the world. we're going off the list below sea line. if i go in the wrong the wrong and surprising and you'll go

straight to the water and so we did our plan to get closer to the sea lion and shake its flipper field. one animal whose par you definitely wouldn't want to shake here is the brown bear you can literally spot a grizzly here by every small weaver this sort of bears are so filled up they have a very good sense of well for people who think that we have to keep an aisle when directed at. them and also told that could be dangerous so we won't go yes we shall but people require. it. and quiet we went but the wind was not on our side and the bear got away they're usually the first to avoid contact with humans but during spawning time when both people and bears go fishing people often shoot at them to scare them away and every year here

in the region you hear about someone being killed by the predators. but at the mugger down nature reserve where we are no one disturbs the bears peanuts another local resident to haiti's peace being disturbed here is the howlers sea eagle in has a wingspan of two and a half meters ignace so only here in russia far east because of the bundles of salmon and sea gulls which feed the giant bird in his studies if gainey focuses on birds so he took me to one of his favorite places here mara island it has the biggest colony of seagulls in the region the climb up was tough. but the prize was worth it. if there was no security here it would be the reason that you will have tons of people coming here not just to get some for only on the beach here nothing is guaranteed you

have to struggle to get your piece of bread there is nothing really well you can. predict you have to rely on yourself a few bucks. or so we're going to have to be the bad. maybe for the wildlife here the lack of visitors is for the better but when you stand on top of finale and like this you just can't help wanting to share the beauty. of this club is hosting a tournament in which teenagers are taking part they are playing a computer game a touch of the caribbean crisis or as its better known the cuban missile crisis the

game has a historical setting in in the united states in the former u.s.s.r. of fighting battles at sea in the air and on the ground that we got there but everybody's dead this video game is based on the actual events of october one thousand nine hundred sixty two a period of confrontation between then u.s. president john kennedy and soviet leader nikita khrushchev in response to the american deployment of ballistic missiles in turkey targeted mage's soviet cities the soviet union retaliated the stationing their own missiles in cuba about time the world found itself one step away from the start of global nuclear war. the way of life in this small village never changes that's why the appearance of any newcomer in south is a big event. when the first soviet specialists came to the village in august one thousand nine hundred sixty two the locals were told to keep their mouths shut. a

large plot of land in the village outskirts was fenced off with barbed wire what went on inside that enclosure was kept secret for a long time today an old bunker is in ruins the residents have found a use for everything they could take from those ruins. here for example you see all these. all day. now. so we are in a place where. his family has been cattle for decades. ago has a big farm by local standards you know it's a nine hundred sixty to. one his doorstep among them was a young william rocket hello.
