hello and a very good evening from moscow if you just joined us ten pm here now this is our my name's kevin now in first grade journalists are walked out of their jobs angry at what they see as government censorship and changes to labor laws it follows the suspension of two t.v. presenters after they criticized the interior minister on air and denounced police for beating a back to vist attained during protests journalists gathered outside the parliament building in athens where they also vented angered government austerity measures they were joined to by residents of the northern town of florina who piled ice cubes on the road in protest of price hikes for heating oil that says parliament was debating new budget cuts r.t. contributor really zucker dealer explains what's trading relations between the government and the media right now. millions a tension between the relationship between government and journalists a let couple days ago we saw that mr vaxevanis who is

a popular journalist investigative journalist in greece was arrested because he was keep out least the. guards released their wages cold with more than two thousand. people who have money in debt was it a nice recent bank this least it is sad that it was event to this then the finance minister mr up on sunday no but he never gave it gave it to the government to the responsible to the responsible people to investigate what's going on so mr vaxevanis flung that police and decided to publish it and he was arrested for that reason so government was blamed for a sensor see because it is not possible to have information for example and not been published many journalists even man simple people say that mr parker studying

with it then finds ministers to be are wasted and not this journalist who revealed the truth. going to from sociologists point of justice satirically told us today's protest action could help free up reporting in greece's governments tightening its grip on the media. it's a main welcome sign there is today's strike by journalists. because if you combine government attacks and the fact that most major media outlets in greece are run by big corporations you have a problem in the world concerns information in greece and i think also think that if it is a necessary reaction and resistance then they are terry terry and then from that part of the government just telling. them it's one of the worst things to have in a country especially in a country where what we most needs is millet's knowledge information and an open debate on those tentative if you don't have an open debate on alternative to the

current crisis then you simply have to follow whatever policies are being dictated by us bad the so-called troika one e.u. countries find another way to get a career back on track debt ravaged home is opening its doors to those with big enough wallets and then buy into the struggling a government that's planned anyway because more not ahead in the program. but next homeless without power or transport in a coastal disaster zone to millions in the northeastern u.s. and i've come to the cost of that deadly storm even barack obama or mitt romney swapped campaigning to pitch in with the relief efforts officially their electioneering was suspended but as lucy cuffing off reports that's not exactly how it looked to most. this was the surprise. and i think. hurricane sandy crashing on shore i've never seen anything like this i'm at a loss for words to describe what the storm could do but there is no loss for words

on the campaign trail and on the eastern coast of our nation a lot of people are enduring some very difficult times the storm that wreaked havoc on america's east coast is wreaking confusion in the last critical days of a tight race for president so how do you run for office about seeming insensitive to a national tragedy the candidates are certainly doing all they can to look like they aren't trying to score political points but their actions tell a different story president barack obama canceled his election rallies and returned to washington to focus on the storm the election will take care of itself next week leaving vice president biden to campaign on his behalf. one of the perks of running for president while occupying the white house is being able to make high profile visits like this one america's whether we are standing behind you and we're going to do everything we can to help you get back on your feet it means coming across as a president on the job which certainly helps when it's

a job you're reapplying for the president's been in close contact with family. and all the agencies of course obama is the president was his advisor say means he needs to focus on the crisis at hand but in terms of how it affects the election i don't think anybody really knows obviously we want unfettered access to the polls but it's a choice that doesn't sit well with some political opponents you'll notice he's canceling his trips over the hurricane he did not cancel his trips over benghazi. and then those republican presidential contender mitt romney so far he stops sending fund raising e-mail is an effective states he used his campaign bus for relief efforts and put up a blog with weather related advice he's also scrap. schedule campaign events only it seems there are some fine print involved this may look like romney is campaigning in ohio a key swing state but his advisors say that's not the case the so-called victory rally was canceled out of sensitivity. instead of the campaign insists this is

a hurricane relief event canned goods came hand in hand with anti obama t. shirts there was music and theme songs and those attending the supposedly nonpartisan event were treated to a video about romney getting america stronger that's what american president has to do. asked by a reporter whether this blurred the line between storm relief and politics romney's top strategist replied i agree i don't know how it happened people over politics or politics over people it certainly difficult to tell now we may be impossible to completely stop campaigning in the middle of a closely contested race but then why make the pretense of doing so it seems that both candidates could use a little bit of this age old advice say what you mean mean what you say and do what you say you'll do lucy caffein elf r t moscow well we do what we say we will we've got to come for the latest updates on what's happening in the areas affected by

superstorm sandy as well as coverage of the election as well of course next monday on the eve of the crucial vote we've got another live debate between the alternative third party candidates choices for the white house. we both agree we agree we ought to bring the tax rates down i felt the same as the president did governor romney i'm glad. you agree let's go back to something the president i agree on and there to you agree that the voters have a choice perhaps that's what you want her to vote for what romney and obama agree on so many things remember 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. . the regime demonstrations reportedly continued in bahrain despite a ban on mass public gatherings and thirty's impose those restrictions on choose to try and hold the ongoing protests against the ruling family they claim the pro-reform run into a threat to national unity and they've been cracking down on dissent tear gas and

mass arrests international human rights groups that have demanded that bahrain immediately lift that ban saying it's a complete violation of basic freedoms side chappie from the bahrain freedom movement told me the al khalifa ruling family though yes well listen. i do not believe that the ruling family is in a mood to uphold the values over human rights i think they will continue as they have been doing for the past. month or so and. they have been doing so for decades this regime simply is only for normal because it is built on a very shaky ground and feel that if they give up any degree of sovereignty or power they could have the whole structure will collapse because it does not. mean elected by the people it has been because of the support of the americans and the british and the west because of the support from the people there and we look

to be elected they do not believe in it actually they do not believe in democracy we are always struck by was this is the kingdom they look you know a position they don't want to. do to allow me to a lesser extent. they are only interested in action to retake against syrian regime against really for one thing because they believe this is their own through the tree it is them who are really this country and they don't want to reach the border . britain revoked man citizenship for fusing to spy on fellow muslims in a few minutes not with us to get why the u.k. says lama community fears that the war on terror is being used as an excuse for racial profiling and harassment. at israel by trucks on its claims that iran is close to developing a nuclear bomb but the apparent softening of television's hard stance may only be down to political rivalry among the country's top politicians we explore but very

arrested you know this recent rest as she tried to become part of a televised presidential debate between barack obama and mitt romney last week it seems that she's been arrested again now we'll update you more on that when we get some more information tonight those details just in. for years british intelligence has been working to safeguard national security against threats such as terrorism and espionage but the secretive nature of their work sometimes gives rise to suspicion of extreme tactics targeting innocent people polyploid reports now on one claim that intelligence agents have resorted to persecute rather than protect. somali born mahdi hashi had grown up in the u.k. from the age of five he was a british citizen until this summer when the twenty three year old went missing and his family found out that the home office had stripped him of his passport for allegedly being involved in islamic extremism his parents are distraught they say

that maddy is an innocent victim of a british intelligence plot because he refused to work for m i five. is that he's a muslim and believes and he's a practicing muslim but being a muslim is not being an islamist. that's what that's all why he's being victimized this is the quiet north london community center where mehdi hashi worked back in two thousand and nine it was then that he and four of his muslim colleagues say that they were approached and harassed separately by security agents it's claimed that m i five threatened to label them islamic extremists if they refused to become informants for british intelligence campaign is raising awareness for maddie's plight said that the constant threats made by british intelligence made life so unbearable that he left the u.k. they were trying to offer him a job. saying that you know effectively you're an extremist we know

your the only way out of this is for you to come and work for us to come and help us these will become tactics that will be the cause of somali origin this is a purely racist profiling policy of the british government and particular security agencies marty had been living in somalia for the past two years taking care of his grandmother and raising a son of his own but several months ago he disappeared leaving his family in despair my son is missing this summer this summer but i don't know if you know if he lived or died here. we are very wooded all the. family the only information the hashi family have now comes from a man who contacted them to say that he'd been in prison with maddie in djibouti and he told us that he had. d.n.a. has been taken from him and then. contacted they found out that his approach does

in the conduct of the british council and the british consulate see that we have a good movies over this decision probably and then the americans talking to. somewhere we don't know they don't know but they fear he's being held at camp in djibouti and a tourist u.s. anti terrorist base where he may be the victim of an american rendition program in which suspects are unlawfully taken to third party states to be illegally detained and tortured the hashi family want on says to simple questions like what the allegations are against maddie where he is located and whether he's even alive but when it comes to matters of intelligence they're faced with a wall of silence lawyers acting on behalf of the hashi family have received just this response from the government. it has been the policy of successive governments nizer to confirm nor deny speaker lieschen allegations or a solution in respect of intelligence matters these policies mean teenty into could

only the secretary of state can neither confirm nor deny is there legations meet on behalf of your client and these cases a classic case of where profiling and kind of almost ludicrous policies within this war on terror have resulted in innocent individual helpless young man effectively having their life or and campaigners say that by stripping maddie hashi of his passport the british government has effectively washed their hands of his case leaving his family to continue the search for aren't says about their now stateless son. r t london. war seems more british spies are in trouble in the real world they're proving popular in the movies and name call on st james bond to find out online why the vatican has given its blessing motivated film featuring the famous it's. america's drug dogs get hounded by the courts as to whether the nasal mouse is qualified enough to sniff out

suspects. it's a story of citizenship for sale next around three hundred thousand dollars is know enough to buy yourself a passport the country's new member of course not selling it citizenship to wealthy investors is an answer to its financial troubles in a way the recession may be but you critic dr helen says that european states might have other objections to this. the sort of carrot that is being angled apart from gary and citizenship is there also of course that if you're against it isn't you are an e.u. citizen which is what's. sort of sounding alarm bells in some of the other countries when people talk about they want to keep foreigners out it isn't necessary if you will the chinese who might buy. government bonds and i rather suspect they can travel around the as well but of course they don't have

the various rights that e.u. citizens do and that's where the whole thing is going to arise whether the other e.u. countries will be able to say that very special category of citizenship that will be offered once the station is passed. it will also mean the same as any of the citizenship and there is something to be said for getting prepared for this in the other countries israel says rome steps away from its alleged pursuit of atomic weapons to. exploit that to run used some of its abridged radium to make fuel rods for medical research now of course in contrast them to prime minister netanyahu statement to the un last month that iran was on the brink of creating a nuclear bomb a middle east correspondent paul slit with the latest. such comments are certainly part of the political game that has intensified here in israel ahead of the early general elections that are now going to be held next year until now barack has

stood firmly in the same camp as his prime minister benjamin netanyahu both have repeatedly warned against is the nuclear capability of iran and have warned of an impending israeli strike we saw it on yahoo not so long ago at the united nations general assembly drawing a red line but what many experts here in israel say is that that was a red line by which israel would strike he ran rather than a red line in terms of a deadline by which tehran would acquire nuclear capability but rock heads up his own political party and certainly what he is trying to do now is distance himself from netanyahu on the whole iran question he is trying to appeal to voters who have not yet decided and this division between them does seem to suggest barac saying that netanyahu may not have been completely truthful around the rainy and nuclear threat certainly there is a division not only on this level but in the greater political elite here in israel although the question is still unanswered whether or not israel plans to strike

iran and if indeed it does win policy r.t. jerusalem and briefs not a motorcycle bomb near a shiite shrines killed at least eight and injured dozens of others in a damascus suburb another explosive device nearby it was defused the u.n. arab league envoy meantime as visited china to try and get support in his efforts to broker peace there. libyan security forces are fired shots into the air to disperse demonstrators gathered in front of the parliament building about one hundred civilians and former rebels protested against the newly approved cabinet proposed by the prime minister it comes a day after the first attempt to vote for a new ruling party was thwarted by protesters who broke into parliament the demonstrators consider the cabinet to be too close to the old gadhafi regime. three tax in southern afghanistan claimed the lives of at least eighteen people a security checkpoint was ambushed first killing seven afghani policeman then the unknown attacker collected the victim's weapons and fled the scene while
