brain bans all opposition protests and public gathering to stop a school waiting on rust on the country and the harshest move so far to silence pro reform demonstrators. superstorm sandy claims at least thirteen lines of that slams into east coast america forcing drop obama and mitt romney to hunker down just days ahead of the presidential election. plus no bailout needed as spain and italy as prime ministers insist their country's job need help but the latest economic forecast says financial collapse is a looming. hello

and welcome to our team with me karen tara well bahraini authorities have banned all protests gatherings about escalating clashes on the gulf kingdom it's the most sweeping attempt so far to coopt protests that have been going on in the country for nearly two years the restrictions calm after the country's police reportedly attacked anti-monarchy protesters with tear gas and rubber bullets seventy capital manama on monday clashes in bahrain a car almost daily with around eighty people being killed since the arrest began the country's under fire from human rights groups for its brutal crackdowns on pro reform campaigners who are calling for more rights jobs and education political analyst sriram chelios says the kingdom is committing crimes against humanity and getting away with that. result. tactics that have been practiced before it's an attempt to compete. for a show. people's uprising in fact of bahrain can we call our the unfinished segment

of the arab spring which has never been allowed to even for our sole party you know there's been a conservative powers in the region as well as the improve a student teacher in the ad the western patron the school of tried to completely demolish the voice of the people whom you really hear of employers in the us about human rights abuses in bahrain so here you have a two year mismatch between america's ideals of disposing universal human rights and the reality on the ground dear human rights and selectivity being in force and are we used to block the regimes for political or not deviant motives what you have is a regional set up which is not allowing free expression i and then why is for example syria such as fox part and behind knock this is the origin of the sin of the whole arab spring narrative and we have not been able to overcome these double standards just because what reinforce the fifth fleet of the u.s. navy does not entitle it to be so brutal and repressive and get dizzy with crimes

against humanity which are happening. the race for the u.s. presidency has been struck by superstorm sandy which hit hard at america's eastern seaboard packing a deadly punch it claimed at least sixteen lives before losing some steam as it moved further and lent at least seven million are said to have been left without electricity in several states an explosion at a power plant in new york plunged a large part of the city into darkness heavy rains are expected to continue for at least another twenty four hours adding to the floods in the area political activist tom hayden says sandy could pave the way for a vote stealing presidential right now just days before the whole. destroy in the legitimacy of the election potentially on the east coast early voting is being wiped out in these cities and states the voting of the elderly on the election day the voting of the poor on election day the voting that of new yorkers on election

day is likely to be diminished through no fault of their own and that will affect the outcome of the election but at the same time it's extremely possible to manipulate the computers so if it's a close election it will be protested and contested as illegitimate for days and days and into the future just as the election between gore and bush. was seen by most americans as stolen that could happen again so we are in for a electoral crisis i think of a very very profound nature. with more live updates on superstorm sandy on our website r.t. dot com our coverage of the presidential race also continues as we take on what the mainstream's missing you can watch the final round have to base between the third party candidates right here on our next monday. governor romney you know we both agree we agree we have to bring the tax rates down i felt the same as the

president did governor romney i'm glad. you agree let's get back to something the president i agree on and there to view that the voters have a choice perhaps that's what you wonder who to vote for what to romney and obama agree on so many things never you do have other options come november sixth tune in to see the second round of debates between the major third party candidates right here on our t.v. . spain and italy as prime ministers are denying claims their countries will be seeking financial help any time soon mario monti and marianna rahowa have stressed the about getting bailout cash is not in the interest of their people both countries have already faced mass protests with people venting their frustration over biting spending cuts if the states are trapped in a severe recession with unemployment numbers reaching a whole army of lights financial expert patrick young says the leaders claims of a no bailout future borders on the delusional. we've got the italian and spanish

leaders who obviously don't read their own newspapers i mean just to give an example last week the spanish said they would launch an eighteen billion euro from to be like the regions by today can top three of the ninth region have claimed their little share of the pile and they've already therefore got commitments for seventeen point six billion amount to nine regions of space and there are lots of other regions that are bankrupt to go certainly should be in desperately need to be enlarged equally we'll be lucky to escape with one mr rudd holywood good on history is the man who ultimately signed your route through an unbelievable pigheaded obstinacy when he simply refused to appreciate the fact that he'd let his country slip backwards and alternately the spanish economy at the moment is going towards where it was about nine hundred seventy two when franco was still alive and well now meanwhile greece is being forced introduce one hundred fifty more financial reforms by its international creditors this as a journalist was arrested out to pump. a list of the country's top tax dodgers with secret swiss bank accounts costars vaxevanis says the same information was given to

the greek authorities two years ago by christine lagarde but was the french fine the finance minister at the time however the authorities decided not to act on it legal expert george a cut the longer last says those accusations should have been investigated then there would be good not to use it up the court exactly because it was not legal. but they started investigating these names become the glick the times so i think this is just an early but i was here using a pretext it's now that the jungle is the established in this material he's still going after these suspects it's the last of the activision they're good enough to the reverse it would be a good move to me to be a little different this is a good movie this sentiment of justice that now i would need to see these in these fields. would be some subset of these people better than the we all face in the

actual maybe he needs to be used with most of these all of our financial problems you know i think it will be. good enough to go to do justice to go to political terms and later in the program we'll tell you how the crisis is pushing some to fight back. people who rob banks go to prison banks to real people get paid bonuses that has to stop appalled by the economic woes and furious with banks one british businessman finds his own way to support the local community will bring you his story and much more in a couple of minutes. horse . susan bayonets big bird these are the words of internet legend from the two

thousand and twelve presidential debates when a candidate says something dumb or odd to so much fun to make silly pictures like these on the internet ho ho hee hee but the problem is that the person who wins in the bait is the one who makes the best argument not he who doesn't make a verbal slip ups people react to these debates like schoolgirls picking prom queen or rummy talked about big bird who howard dean scream. gaffes don't matter that much it matters if the ideas the candidates present are effective or not but more importantly it matters if they will actually do them if a future can't they proposed a brilliant economic plan that could save america but instead of saying pennies let the word penis slip our gossip celebrity culture would make him lose the election for sure his opponents are mere photoshop or sort of hundreds of copper fellas destroyed all over the internet by the next day a schoolgirl attitude towards politics won't do anything except make fun internet

memes but that's just my opinion. more news today violence has once again flared up. and these are the images from world history and canon that. change operations through today. wealthy british soil it's a good idea because. the . market

why not. why not what's really happening to the global economy with mike's culture there are no holds barred look at the global financial headlines join in to cause a report on our. do we speak your language anything about the role or not a. good news programs and documentaries in spanish what matters to you breaking news a little eternity of angola's stories. for you here. in troy altie spanish find out more visit i too early to.

go back to our t.v. live from moscow on kara tara wall russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov has urged all sides in the syrian conflict to open dialogue that's after a un brokered truce failed to hold violence between government troops arrivals international envoy locked out of a he me and knowledge that the talks in moscow that some of violence during the cease fire was committed by extremist groups operating in syria russia believes foreign states should take responsibility for the factions in syria they support and convince them to lay down arms party's policy or explains now. why the west stance of backing the opposition or aiding regime change across the arab world is not a solution to the continuing chaos. things have gone from bad to worse in a region powered by the hope of change not so long ago and libya one year after the

revolution that gas shells and artillery reportedly being used against peaceful civilians lebanon is on the brink of civil war and syria is already fighting one you do there's a process of another reformatting of the geo political map of the middle east to define wary as players try to secure that political position we consider this counterproductive such measures imposed from outside can never gave us stable long term result countries in ruins tens of thousands killed and hundreds of thousands maybe fiji's we are going to do everything we can to make sure that we are helping the opposition and to further pressure and isolate the regime seeing syria remove assad is a very high priority for us and it's not me a lip service washington and its european allies are assisting the rebels to get rid of assad going i'm sure of one thing the syrian regime will never find its place among the community of nations it has no future among us that is why france

will recognize a provisional government representing the new free syria once it's been formed for me but if assad goes it's almost guaranteed that the carnage will continue. to shut us out protects minorities including the christians that have lived in syria hundreds of years even the strictest estimates of the situation we're see from our west european partners says that at least one third of the population still back assad regarding him is a person destined not to let syria turn into a country impossible for minorities to live in. and no more than ever syria's instability threatens the security of neighboring lebanon we're here to. the u.s. has made it clear it supports a new government it wasn't far from here that the lebanese intelligence officer was killed that murder prompted widespread condemnation and of course for the international community to stay out of the mystical say is a message the international community would do well to heed if only to prevent the

region from forming into for the chaos r t. some penetrating analysis on syria on the expanding influence of its neighbors coming up in just over an hour now the head of russia's parliamentary foreign affairs committee talks about turkey's role in the conflict here's a quick preview. so if you can be dragged or drag itself into this conflict you know that the war in syria. may have a lot of trips to turkey and it's not questions that turkey has refrained from crossing the border and its ground troops to syria because it's easier to go in it's difficult to get out and the story of all the conflicts that are against iraq whatever shows that you go in and the decision is taken a couple of days and then takes two years and years and years to get out so i don't think that the the risk is government is really willing to open a war with the syrian government. but. those two states are

basically on the brink of war. time now for more stories from around the world this hour japan is accusing china all something for government ships to the waters of a disputed ark along go it vessels are said to have headed towards the islands after the japanese prime minister filed to ramp up coastal security on monday both countries lay claim to the small chain of uninhabited islands which reportedly hold vast reserves of natural resources the territorial fallout has previously sparked mass protests in both china and japan. international observer. called ukraine's parliamentary election a backward step for democracy saying they witnessed abuse of power and excessive use of money during the vote over eighty five percent of ballots have been counted so far with the ruling party in the lead the opposition which seeks the impeachment of incumbent president viktor yushchenko of its come second with more than twenty

four percent of the votes official results are expected to be announced on wednesday. people across the globe choose different ways to vent their anger at the economic crisis some resent the fat cats some opt for a different action artist or a smith tells us the story of one businessman who decided to spearhead changes to the system by a declaring himself a financial institution. hello thank you. for the work you do fyshwick is a cheeky northern charmer he made his fortune selling minibuses in his hometown of burnley but instead of fancy holidays and expensive cars when the credit crisis hit dave wanted to give something back so he decided to open a bank this late two thousand and eight early two thousand and nine my money was recorded along to me to get funded for their bosses as they are doing for the last fifteen years but overnight that just stopped the banks just stopped lending to the to the customers and i'm thinking have it done something wrong have they made

a mistake of that up at the gas bill electric bill or form bill you know it's not the people that are the problem it's the banks that have the problem so i thought well i'll end of the book so that's what i did bank on dave he says although thanks to extensive red tape he's not actually allowed to call himself a bank and he's keen to differentiate himself from banks in other ways too he offers five percent on savings and he lends that money out to his local community and no bonuses and any profits go to charity now in our state. there just isn't a dave in every town more's the pity so his isn't a. which could be rolled out nationwide in its current form but financial experts say lessons can be learnt for a healthier banking system one point is clear and this is a point that the bank makes in a way is that banking has just moved too far away from its roots and its basic

need to understand to a saving which has been. highly leveraged gains a lasting. dates ultimate goal is to bring banking back to its roots no more faceless conglomerates where computers and mavericks make the decisions and the one percent pockets unimaginable bonuses instead local banks for local people run by the community to benefit the community it's not a new idea in fact it's how banking used to be before the megabucks and mega banks stepped in and dave still taking to get some political support you have to take save us money and invest in real productive activity to take responsibility for doing it which is not the way that banking currently works in his comic kind of crazy way showing the way to a better banking system which is responsible. in touch with entrepreneurship which

actually could be the basis for going forward there's certainly got to be some way forwards as wave after wave of scandal hits the financial sector banking on dave and others like him looks more and more attractive one of the sayings i use a lot of people who rob banks go to person banks who real people get paid bonuses to stop laura smith r.t. birmingham. fans on r.t. dot com right now a golden treasure hunt three ships and service aircraft and a helicopter over the sea of our ports with a fine tooth comb and searchable ballast russian cargo. with seven hundred tons of precious or onboard. plus facebook could be facing trial for allowing children to rack up charges on their parents' credit cards find out the details of our two don't call. our time to check in at the business now

than pay the gas promise heading east is that right yeah that's right karyn it is indeed it set its sights on the new project and it's a to hustle the gas supplies to asia so the energy major will spend around thirty eight billion dollars to build a pipeline to the country's far east now a third of that money will be spent on development a gas field in the republic where the link will they can you can say now the first few hundred kilometers of pipeline is expected to be ready in five years from also plans to set up a liquefied natural gas production in the region by twenty eighteen as the company says the far east capacitances will allow it to set up gas supplies to asia pacific equal to that of the european ones now perhaps potentially even bigger but this is on to the russian markets and see what's happening this tuesday off the new we also looking at the kleins just. for the choppy day of trade with. red great all

day long brady march the issue because wall street is closed and it's closed for the second day and that's because the financial district is a flooded of course because of hurricane sandy you could record saying use self care in such a situation at the moment we don't know if they're going to be open again on wednesday so there's no international data except for what's happening in europe's mishap with the european stocks and it's who is going on because we all the king getting is just that and that's because a lot of massive companies today have revealed that corporate results i'm talking about being paid i'm also talking about bank with u.b.s. as well switzerland biggest bank as well posting a for a hefty guy. as well that's all to raise in that profitability goal so there's no surprise at the coming cars say heading north that still is still a stretch today against the u.s. dollar and the ruble provides unchanged just as i say is a thin trading day that head because of the hard cases question more news do russia

russia has no it's the privatized a should it process of its biggest seaports and its c s p the state has started talks of possible investors intending to sell the whole twenty percent in the hub of the stake is currently estimated at three hundred fifty million dollars that is expected to be offered to both moscow and london and that by. now but here and i'll say it's because now he's going to ruffle a few feathers of the richest one percent across the sea cause your post i would also. tucked in between the russian mainland japan and the sun coming island is the island of minute on named after french seafarer who discovered it it is described as the pride of the sakhalin region we'll take a look at what's in store for us here.

until two thousand and four the island was part of the borders own and was completely restricted to visit just know the spectroscope place is open to tourists unique plants and animals are its top attraction. really has been exploring the depths of the world seas for several decades but it's here at more your own island where here is finally found what he'd been looking for . me the most the water here is very clear the visibility is very good and the underwater world here is a stream the rich i've been to many diving locations across the planet. including the. while some go to the region to enjoy the sights convert the nature's riches into a healthy dollar it is home to the biggest seafood processing factory in russia the tonight show hundreds of thousands of tons of fish get caught in the nets too late

to produce delicious caviar and necessary attribute of anything. the owner of the enterprise good fishing season can bring in more than one hundred million dollars net profit. this is. mentally. operates in only and natural habitat and mild climate unique natural sights and delicious seafood such a diverse holiday for those who are not afraid to travel ten thousand kilometers from europe the question is whether this distant land would ever be able to become a major tourist destination.

from plans to. close down time t.v. don't come. for the six america votes for its next president. who takes the wheel as the u.s. drives into the future. get the news the mainstream misses with up close election coverage to his election up close. and off he dot com. max guys are welcome to the kaiser report another demonic armed robber one on a loading spray in jefferson county alabama this week now this time it wasn't

actually jamie diamond and we know it was not him because this robber actually jumped off a cliff. what remorse or fear or drove them to jump off the cliff who knows but obviously has something jamie diamond does and those are human emotions and he was also arrested stacey. max yes this is the headline armed robber in demonic mask shoots customer flees store with money then falls off the cliff and breaks his back before having leg amputated a man shot a customer who followed him in jefferson county alabama police deputy said i would like to think that maybe he jumped off that cliff because every morse but i can't give him that much credit so two things max first of all my handy little phone here auto correct when i write jamie diamond it writes jamie dimon rewrites it to demon

so i was thinking maybe that's what happened with this headline here about the demonic mask we had a jamie diamond mask and was just looting or maybe it was jamie diamond. before the robbery and then he escaped you broke his leg and then it was amputated that's correct so the analogy to the bankers on wall street or the city of london would be that they are stealing money from folks and we would want them to jump off a building break their leg and be entertained. well jefferson county alabama is bankrupt because of jamie diamond and j.p. morgan selling them interest rate swaps on their sewage system that ended up costing them like many times over what the cost of the sewage system was so perhaps even this man robs some sort of shop because he was broke because he had to pay the sewage fee to jamie diamond but the other thing is the police deputy he would never talk like that he did he say this referring to jamie diamond when jamie dimon bankrupted the entire county by tens of millions of dollars i would like to think

that maybe he jumped off that cliff because of remorse but i can't give him that much credit why didn't he tell jamie diamond jump. well america's jumping off the fiscal cliff coming up at the end of the year so we're going to have three hundred million people jumping off the fiscal cliff break their leg and then have their legs amputated. well here you know in the u.k. they have a dead cat bounce you know you know growth like that in the u.k. here that they reported not very intriguing is it because you strip out the one time for the olympics on the comparison with the queen's jubilee they renamed the. uncle ben's tower to. victoria tower something they renamed all the all the major money meant but this is all very anemic it's not really growing much at all the tories are engaging in a bit of winning waving suggesting that hey we're a great we've engineered some kind of g.d.p. out of the double dip recession but in.
