to our team on karan taraji coming to you live from our studio in moscow well the greek authorities looked to be tightening their hold on the media as another journalist just taken into custody in a legit attempt to silence him spittles a cut us off it is promised to reveal potentially damaging information all the greek bailout on t.v. but was arrested before he could cut out some of it is claims he has proof the facts about the greek deficit for staff and to seek aid were fraudulent he says he received the data from hackers group anonymous group broke into government computers at the same time another great journalist cost us walks yvonne is is on trial for a breach of privacy for publishing the names of two thousand greeks with swiss bank accounts fellow greek journalist says the government's only way to push their clients through is to silence the media a lot of journalists. of course already you're afraid to quite know
11:02 am
there is enough. to produce a pretty in greece. generally so for a thought the coalition government tried to push through and i cannot because very few problem because the only way to do. the problem right now we have a government drive a favorite way. mr summer i was the prime minister everywhere everywhere to my need to relate. to memory. probably private media a lot of journalists try to reduce the government press the journalist out of not very many vietnamese outside of course. the man of protests and of journalists funding for the european union has sparked a rebellion in the british parliament prime minister david cameron's own
11:03 am
conservative backbenchers dealt him the worst defeat since he took power in two thousand and ten euro skeptic tories joined forces with the opposition and voted for cutting the u.k.'s cash flow to brussels r.t. surf earth has the details from london. all of them a significant defeat full the government since they came to power we saw two m.p.'s standing alongside labor calling for the real time cuts to the budget now those negotiations old that budget against take place in brussels later on this month the prime minister david cameron had been calling on his policy to stand with him in his approach to these negotiations that he being talking about a rise in line with inflation which would have been at about eighty percent the government today very much trying to downplay that defeat saying of cool so again to be fighting for the person's best interest but clearly many members of their own policy feeling that the best wasn't good enough it was
11:04 am
a significant that the fifty three tory m.p. that has left the government looking increasingly disconnected. not just from their own policy but from the british public as well certainly when it comes to this question of the e.u. now we had the prime minister nick clegg speaking today in a keynote speech talking in defense of britain's role within the he spoke about the arguments of. power from the as a full promise rats in a union jack one m.p. describing it last night in the very passionate debate that we saw taking place in the house of commons as alice in wonderland economics and that is very much the sense you get from a lot of people that is disconnected from reality it was people do it tightening that. to be contributing even more money the decision made last night isn't going to be binding on the government but it's certainly going to put prime
11:05 am
minister david cameron under a fair amount of pressure when he doing some negotiating table we don't know of course what the outcome of these negotiations will be but one thing is absolutely certain that this very heated debate and argument about britain's role within the is looking set to run and run earlier i spoke to one of those conservative m.p.'s who oppose the prime minister and voted for cutting the u.k.'s contribution of brussels marc per charge believes the e.u. is inefficient and that britain should get the chance to vote on whether to stay part of it. but inflation increase on the budget would equate to an extra three hundred million pounds a year and that would increase over the multi annual budget up to two thousand and twenty and at a time when u.k. families are having to make very difficult often painful decisions with their household budgets local councils doing the same and even our own national government here in the u.k. i think it is absolutely right to expect the european union to try and trim some of
11:06 am
its very large budget a budget that will increase to around one trillion euros up to two thousand and twenty so there is certainly room for efficiency savings this is a an entity which has failed to have its own account signed off for the last seventeen years it's i think a wasteful inefficient entity and i think it's politically smart for the government and i'm a member of the governing party to actually be in touch with public opinion majority people in the united kingdom have never had a say on our relationship with europe we need a referendum this side of the general election in this parliament and let democracy ray and let the british people have their voice heard. in the days before the u.s. presidential election green party candidate jill stein has been arrested for a second time in two weeks she was trying to bring food and supplies to activists protesting against an extension to an oil pipeline in texas star was later released after being charged with trespassing green party spokesman scott mclarty says the
11:07 am
incident shows alternatives to obama and romney are being sidelined. dr stein was assisting the activists in order to make a statement she was delivering supplies to the protestors i understand that they were camping out in trees they were in the they were in the way of the construction of the pipeline we do know that the last time dr stunned was arrested about two weeks ago and she attempted to answer the obama romney debate that was taking place at hofstra university on long island she and running mate sherry hogzilla were detained and handcuffed to a chair for for eight hours before being released the obama romney debates are sponsored by the commission on presidential debates which is itself owned by the democratic and republican parties for the express purpose of privileging their

own candidates excluding other candidates and we we call that an outrage and party candidates joel stein and gary thompson will again try to break the mainstream media blockade right on the eve of the vote our team will broadcast the final round of their debates live on monday. we both agree we agree we have to bring the tax rates down i felt the same as the president did. you agree let's go back to something the president i agree on and you tube you agree that the voters have a choice perhaps you wonder who to vote for what romney and obama agree on so many things remember you do have other options come november sixth tuned in to see the second round of debates between the major third party candidates right here on our team. with obama and romney still running neck and that critics say the close race will make it easier to rig the election some claim the core of america's voting system is flawed as
11:09 am
a relies on equipment which can easily be tampered with parties and us the situation our reports. the us a beacon of democracy and an example to be followed by the rest of the world one big source of pride is its fundamental concept of free and fair elections american elections are a disgrace it's like walking into the kitchen of a first class restaurant and losing or appetite at what you see because we have an election system a voting system that is completely nontransparent an opinion shared by many political experts and educators if you were here. and in a magician suit who then went behind the curtain came out having first read of the ballots to tell you why would you trust that process and that process largely to blame is the outdated l.-a trying to voting system in the states where all they have this electronic voting it could be a real problem. if you don't have some other type of backup source to verify the
11:10 am
vote count. it could be a problem read friedman is an independent award winning blogger who has covered the u.s. election system for years he calls the problem a pandemic and says change is long overdue every single state in the union you. this is electronic voting a third of the voters this year will vote on one hundred percent on verifiable touch screen voting systems electronic voting systems. the rest of the country by and large will vote on paper ballots but those paper ballots are also counted by electronic systems unless you can see inside a computer there's no way to know if those computers tallied those ballots correctly several experiments conducted on electronic voting machines have proven that simple keystrokes and some knowledge of science and computers could flip results the security side of the machine clears being created in numbers insert the correct numbers expert see the accuracy of the vote count even with people
11:11 am
a trail is a myth in the ninety nine percent plus percent of the cases those ballots never see the light of day or never examine never reach out to basically american elections at this point have virtually zero claim on public confidence and legitimacy the rules and specific ations of how elections are held very locally and state by state four thousand different counties each of them use a different type of system a different type of voting system each of them have different flaws different vulnerabilities one particular company that makes electronic voting machines in the us has earned a dubious reputation for unverifiable results as records vanish into thin air i go to an a.t.m. and it's a debug machine i get a confirmation slip and i go around the corner to vote and i you know make my vote and there's no record deeble don't other voter machine production companies are also known to have strong partisan affiliations they are not accountable to any voters. they are not just private but but private and extreme in their political
11:12 am
sympathies democrats don't actually win that many elections to be precise democrats almost never win close elections and the trick therefore is to see to it that a race is or looks close improving the election. process in this digital age doesn't appear to be on anyone's agenda including barack obama's our president won't talk ever about election fraud and denies that it has ever happened even when you know members of his own party have been the victims of it and while the number of reported flaws grows with each passing election over the past decade since two thousand when i think congress was pretending to want to make things better what has happened is things have gotten much much worse it appears stealing an election in the u.s. may be a candidate certain way to secure a win it's easy as one two three in this digital age of smartphones tablets and satellite navigation systems american voters will head to the polls this november

11:14 am
a sword that was used at a nearby crime honest mistake because swords are often tubular and use this walking sticks more and more we hear stories like this like the handcuff youth who is shot in the back to death or the unarmed guy in a wheelchair who got blown away by the boys in blue. i understand that being in the police is rough everyone lies to you and any given day you could be shot dead so i get it when after a long police chase someone just snaps and in all honesty fire when the police might do the same thing but it takes a certain kind of person who enjoys abusing their uniform to make the helpless suffer you can't tolerate sadists or those with napoleon complexes in the police and you know what they aren't that hard to spot in the shower because if you like to tase the elderly or shoot wheelchair bound people then you probably don't have much of a certain something but that's just my opinion. the

11:17 am
any evidence this group had any support on the ground in syria the armed groups the disparate response from seoul's there's no coordinating body there's no central command we now know that their fighting is being led in many areas by the feature howdy's and they have their own agenda which is not just in syria it's to set up an islamic states and what is really quite striking is it took the americans such a long time to wake up to suspect i mean we had hillary clinton her last visit to stumble which is a few weeks ago she didn't even bother to meet members of that council and i think that was the that was a very clear sign another kind of this alternative which is sort of a new council dyson no this seems to me another attempt by the united states to take control of the situation situation which at the moment is out of the control by setting up this council without dropping the mind i mean which is to bring down the syrian government no i think any kind of reasonable person look at the situation would say that the first priority should be to actually bring about to be deceitful stop the fighting but they're not willing to do that they're still

years by a local court in our tangles let me take you a little bit back through it to get to where we were today in two thousand and five both men were convicted of tax evasion and then they were retried in two thousand and ten and then convicted of stealing oil from their company now last year dmitri medvedev who was then president introduced legislation to soften white collar crimes specifically favoring financial penalties as opposed to criminal sentences that therefore decriminalizing the more white collar crimes basically saying that these were not violent offenders and they shouldn't be treated as such so they would be financially punished instead now this set the course if you will for the decision of this lessening of this sentence the lawyers have said that this is the closest thing that they can get to a humane sentence and they do not plan to appeal this decision and just putting it into perspective has actually been in custody for ten years now he's serving his

time here which means that he will be eligible for release in july two thousand and thirteen so this coming summer it's possible there. will be free. new internet law has come into. government to shut down websites potentially harmful to children earlier this year and i am a number of the country's most popular web site spoke out against the plan could pave the way for online censorship has the details well online registry which is going to contain the list of banned websites is already operating the purpose of this law is to protect children from potentially harmful information on the internet and the way it works is that authorities monitor the web and if you find things like instructions how to consume drugs or make weapons or propaganda of suicide or force pornography then this website is recommended to take this information down if it doesn't then its host is recommended to do the same and if
11:21 am
it. enforce rules these online then the website is put on this list in this registry is blocked and remains blocked until the information is taken down the reaction on this floor has been mixed while there are those who believe that it could actually help protect children role but also those who believe that it could be used to censor the internet but needless to see similar child protection laws are not something which was created here in russia it's a widespread practice all over the wall before look at europe then there is some very tough legislation especially in some scandinavian countries with punishments going all the way up to jail sentences if you look at the united states then there is the controversial law which should prohibit children under thirteen from using search engines like google in g. mail but this has been causing quite a lot of criticism as well while here in russia we're talking about temporary measures because like i said these blocked websites could be unblocked if the information is taken down there's also always the possibility of taking these cases
