and if your power plants put on alert in the united states because of deadly superstorm sandy the weather is also put election campaigning on hold or face it could cost vital votes we've got the latest ahead. gathering is intensifying crackdowns on anti-government protests as clashes with police rise. and britain set for a clash of the cash in funding the e.u. while a rift among greek lawmakers could be no bailout money for the struggling country. evening and welcome it's eleven pm here in moscow kevin though in this is r.t.

international and first this hour a nuclear power plant in new jersey has been put on alert tonight as waters around that facility swell as a result of superstorm sandy the plant's about one hundred kilometers south of new york it was shut down for refueling last week but radioactive material still at the site and it could prove potentially dangerous nuclear expert arnold gundersen told me the authorities he thinks should take more precautions. the water level was somewhere around two meters perhaps a little higher because the gauge that the government uses to measure it actually broke in the storm surge and because pump is critical to cool the water when it's in the nuclear reactor but in america well we move the fuel into the spent fuel pool we have no way of cooling it off of diesels and we need power to run the large pumps the real problem is that the

box at the fuel is in can get very very humid because as this water begins to get hot steam goes up and the equipment in that box safety related equipment is really not designed for high unity so it's important that the fuel pool cooling be reestablished and it's important that it be maintained in the long haul i don't believe we'll have a. disaster but i think it really should show the american nuclear regulatory commission that it can happen here we could have a flood inland in one of the pennsylvania plants and be having the same conversation two days from now. because it's also hit the race to the white house with both his republican challenger mitt romney suspending their election campaigns the storm could hit his chances as it might make voting in the traditionally democrat state of new york difficult u.s. politician and the political activist tom hayden says sandy could fuel the electoral crisis it's destroying 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 election day the voting of the poor on election day the voting 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 an electoral crisis i think of a very very profound nature. you get live updates on superstorm sandy plus our

coverage of the presidential race can stand to election day as we take on what the other channels ignore you can watch the final round of debates between the third party candidates you know an hour to the next monday. 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 come back to something the president i agree on and you tube you agree that the voters have a choice perhaps you wondered who to vote for when 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. . authorities in bahrain a band all mass public gatherings as clashes escalate between police and protesters the government says the anti want to keep protesters are abusing their right to freedom of speech and threaten national unity there are almost daily clashes with

police using tear gas and rubber bullets to try to disperse the crowds the shit campaign is they've been demanding more rights more jobs education from the sunday morning but ready opposition politician khalil told me the government is fuelling the crisis so a plane is that is trying to prevent. this is the time for you literally. nothing they will explode institutions these on positions taken by the individual and when they are talking about maintaining the peace and stability on. more than one hundred. people this even once. they are political is not on the ground people do not. dare honest but this is there is a spike the age of the government being bought out that it just slipped a little bit too much flow that it is. caring and tradition it's.

just a few doing. because what they got to do with it is that they will see what they did and. they will see each almost slow but generally people are so into their homes this is not going. to be impossible and this is. based laws. a battle over funding for the e.u. is brewing in the u.k. parliament conservative backbench is they're leading a rebellion calling for the cash flow to be cut while at the same time promise to david cameron faces pressure from brussels to increase the u.k.'s contribution in line with inflation. explains. prime minister david cameron certainly going to be feeling the pressure this is a rebel motion this been tabled by the tory backbenches and it's going to be in the commons tomorrow and it's certainly as he said going to put david cameron under

pressure they're calling for a real turn cuts to the budget between twenty fourteen and twenty twenty now the wanted spending to rise by about five percent downing street is said the prime minister supports the rise in line with inflation about two percent but as you can see a real difference is sentiment amongst his own party now he's going to be meeting with the european leaders in brussels in a couple of weeks time negotiations are going to start we've seen labor jumping on the back of this as well it is a conservative motion if they will it won't be binding on the prime minister but it would certainly put him under a lot of stress whilst those negotiations are going on in brussels it could also maybe see him use his veto. with the european leaders and you know germany in particular has been trying to sort of fresh out this compromise this i think going to be putting him under a lot of pressure well an interesting time for britain when it comes to the question of the membership i say no the point in the history of our membership has

prisoners place in the being so under question this certainly even arises and he feeling austerity measures a very much affecting people we spoke recently to the former conservative chancellor who also he was telling us that there really has been a very significant rise in anti and with good reason the public for you that there are whole lot of pretty restrictions which come to us from europe or european law which we can't change which you have to go along with even though we ourselves do do agree with them to see who to the single currency is a mystery your european economy is based. doing before. it is don't particularly inspirational that's a big question where the year at anything millions going you know this money going to all these projects and still you know people are facing very very thin veil of what people are going to be looking for ahead of david cameron going to these

negotiations next and certainly with this rift that we think it is part of a white a rift in the government people want to see leadership here from david cameron and they don't want it to come from brussels they want it to come from that prime minister and be talking in their national interest no into sort of firth london there meantime what we're talking about rifs a political battle is being waged in greece shortly reported and splits up top in athens with a mate who is potentially in the balance not stories coming up after this break. horses and bayonets big bird these are the words of internet legend from the two thousand and twelve presidential debates where the candidate says something dumb or odd to disown watch fun to make silly pictures like these on the internet whoa he

he but the problem is that the person who wins 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 romney talked about big bird who howard dean screamed yeah gaffes don't matter that much it matters if the idea is the candidates present are effective or not but more importantly it matters if they will actually do them if a future kids a proposed a brilliant economic plan the could save america but instead of saying pennies let the word penis slip or gossip celebrity culture would make him lose the election for sure his potence army of photoshop or sort of hundreds of copper fellas is drawn 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.

to avoid bankruptcy unless those cuts international public policy on this new coast told me the latest plan the start he's going to hit the people. it looks pretty grim it looks pretty black out here in athens so we're really talking about. new tax hikes. for me labor laws in general moving into what could be call of flexible table if we can only the supposedly supposed to spur people within the greek economy but on the other hand we have already seen the negative consequences of such a policy with unemployment reaching almost twenty five percent within the general population i do think indeed the government will succeed in passing new cuts i have to mention that could huge and problems will of course piero in voting in favor of new fresh tax hikes as well as harry cuts this is something that has to be expected

but i do think that at the end of the day this this new deal will pass and the final disbursement of the trench will be completed successfully bank you malpractise excessive risk taking a bonuses paid for a taxpayer bailouts the wonders of the people's patience with the banks of run out but if not the global financial giants question is where do we entrust our hard earned cash will laura smith needs one british man and things he's got the answer. hello thank you. for longer thank you dave fyshwick is a cheeky northern charmer he made his fortune selling minibuses in his hometown as 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 late two thousand and eight early two thousand and nine my mini. me to get

funded for as they are done for the last fifteen years but overnight that just stopped the banks just stopped lending to the to the customers and i'm thinking of a 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 try thought arland of them so that's what it 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 he profits go to charity. but there just isn't a day in every town more's the pity so his isn't a model 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 made in a way is that banking has just moved too far away from its roots and its basic need to understand. saving which has been. mad rush where 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 starting to get some political support you have to take save us money and invest it in real productive activity and to take responsibility for

doing it which is not the way that banking currently works in his comical kind of crazy we're showing the way to a better banking system which is responsible local in touch with entrepreneurship which actually could be the basis for going forward there's certainly got to be some way forward 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 people who rob banks go to prison banks who real people get paid bonuses that has to stop laura smith r.t. birmingham. there are plans for a london venue with a ten thousand strong capacity but it's not for a theater it's for a mosque it would be four times the size of some holes cathedral with locals including muslims fearing it's designed to be a hotbed of extremism if you want to read up more about that before you bought it online and out to dot com tonight also a major withdrawal by swiss banking giant u.b.s. its thousands of jobs as it pulls out of the risky investments that have seen its

debts explode. with serious failed temporary truce shows it's a country that's far from solving its crisis while keeping its neighbors on the edge too but to see what happens after western driven regime change needs a look no further than libya where fear of violence still stalks the streets a year after what was supposed to be as democratic liberation as fall asleep reports syria could be next. things have gone from bad to worse in a region powered by the hope of change not so long ago in libya one year after the revolution guess shells and artillery reportedly being used against peaceful civilians lebanon is on the brink of civil war and syria is already fighting one for you that there is a process of another reformatting of the geo political map of the middle east when various players try to secure their own political positions we consider this

counterproductive such measures imposed from outside can never gave a stable long term result. countries in ruins tens of thousands killed and hundreds of thousands maybe fiji's but western nations it seems are still not ready to stop 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 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. but if assad goes it's almost guaranteed that the carnage will continue so the question aside protects minorities including the christians that have lived in syria for

hundreds of years even the strictest estimates of the situation received from our west european partners says that at least one third of the population still back assad regarding him as 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 and here to the u.s. has made it clear it supports a new government it wasn't far from here the. the nobody's intelligence officer was killed that murder prompted widespread condemnation and of course for the international community to stay out of to of domestic affairs. the international community would do well to heed a phony to prevent the region from forming into from the chaos today we're seeing the western and g.c.c. led counter revolution while at the same time on one hand the west is is proclaiming some kind of backing of people you know rights to

self-determination through this arab spring actually what they're doing is unwinding it for them in countries like bahrain in yemen in countries like libya and in syria where the west has actively sought to foment rebellion and force regime change a reality fall from the minds of those who once championed the arab spring and what it could bring. meantime syria's neighbor turkey which is one of president assad's strongest critics has been cracking down on kurdish protesters thousands of clashed with authorities in a so-called day of resistance across the country police in the southeast used water cannons and tear gas to disperse crowds marching towards a kurdish prison inmates there appeared on a six week hunger strike the money improve jail conditions for the kurdish rebel leader who's housed on an island there but he's promised to says he will bow to what he called prisoner blackmail. to nato soldiers have been shot dead by

a man wearing a police uniform in afghanistan's helmand province both victims are believed to be british nationals this instant is the latest in a spate of so-called green on blue attacks they've already claimed the lives of fifty six nato soldiers this year undermining the trust between local and coalition forces. ukraine's ruling party's been given a bruising at the parliamentary elections leaving it with just thirty one percent of the votes the opposition parties coming second and third including that of jailed former premier yuliya tymoshenko are both strong critics of president know if they unite they could hamper his party from securing a majority that would include the common is though they've refused to join any bloc after being pushed into fourth place. eleven twenty two and a half moscow time thanks speak with r.t. no of course with the us markets closed because of hurricane sandy let's catch up with dmitri now he's got a look at the russian and european stocks for you. hello

and welcome to this quick choose the market wrap in russia the day has been pretty negative with my six losing three quarters of a percent investors are trying to play it safe prefer to sell rather than buy ahead of the elections in the united states and the long weekend in russia so russia will not be able to react quickly to to these elections and among the interesting stocks gazprom was among the worst here down two and a half percent as it's planning to build a pipeline in the far east thirty eight billion dollars that's going to be potentially eating into dividends and that's not making investors happy rosneft was better than the market up one percent almost has basically it's a negotiation with. to buy out its venezuelan assets and over in europe we've had a positive session with the forty other docs up around one percent and that's on the back of optimism about greece's bailout possibly coming in very soon. all right that sent from business coming up next it's the kaiser report on r t two states.

if you're passing through rushes to be a region you really can walk on the wild side thousands of kilometers of unspoiled countryside make up an area where it's still possible to live off the learned and enterprising locals so the fruits of the forest by the side of nearly every road. such spectacular scenery makes it a paradise for fisherman and provides a business opportunity for hunt is. going on he has been hunting for more than thirty years and works for a company providing expeditions for tourists this season ducks are on the menu. for two things a successful duck hunting. and a bubble. which means that i need to be very quiet i'm not going to write in the.

office. but when you've been in the business as long as he has the birds don't stand much chance. there are defined hunting seasons in russia but lax enforcement means many animals are killed out of the allotted times which can leave young animals orphaned and unable to survive but environmentalists are fighting back the heart of just u.s. forest provides a sanctuary for the most famous beast in russia it's home to a group who rescue often bear cubs and raise them when they're old enough to fend for themselves the cubs a target taken to a remote location and released back into the wild but it's not just bears who find a haven here this is wolf island here wolf pups have been captured by hunters or bought from zoos have a second chance at life and conservationists have a unique opportunity to observe them these walls are all around four months old and

they'll stay in this area for up to three years then most will go back to the wild for good just viewing them from the car was an experience in itself but then after a bit of a bumpy ride came an opportunity i just couldn't pass up. and this is what i was hoping for when i heard i was coming to a place called wolf island a chance to get up close and personal with the locals and it's these guys are going to act as foster parents for the next generation of wolves who come here. using the old rules as surrogate parents has already proved a successful technique. every i place infant wolves with one year old wolf cubs whose parental instinct is totally shaped and they take them as their own cubs it's an important part of the world's development and a major factor in the success of a project which has seen more than twenty generations of cubs grow up here it's going to continue to take time and money to rehabilitate the wolf's reputation in russia. but the keepers here hope their research and dedication mean that wolf

island remains a place where visitors can truly understand the call of the wild. max guys are welcome to the kaiser report another demonic armed robber one on a loading spray and 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 something jamie diamond doesn't know and those are human

emotions and he was also arrested stacey over. 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 dimon 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 so he performed a robbery and then he escaped he 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 amputated. 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 gee.
