11:02 am
government doesn't have any money and that's ultimately the problem the difficulty with the spanish government is that it hasn't actually wanted to to bite the bullet or for the most of all areas in which it's been deficient for many many years admitting one could say that was the previous government run rather than the current government however the truth is there is no money to pay all of these nurses and doctors there is no money for this loutish government infrastructure it has to be privatized sold off and there have to be stoppage culp's because truly spain has spent the last decade living on the never never it was built on the back of a huge property bubble the bubble was unsustainable nobody managed to manage that unfortunately while we can obviously say it to tragedy for the poor independent healthcare professionals there's just no way to manage to find the money to aid them in modern spain the biggest shock of the whole year hasn't doggedly been the fact that the euro is held together the european union is putting on a brave face it's throwing money around the place it's trying all manner of things

to hold together a cracking and creaking facade and ultimately you know they might just manage to carry it off but ultimately i think the smart money is waiting in the wings and it's looking at the whole idea that we are going to see a euro break down even if it's not going to be as instantaneous as some of us might have predicted. security forces in bahrain have used pepper spray gas and stun grenades in a clash with anti-government demonstrators in the capital manama some activists are claiming on social media sites that several human rights advocates have been arrested the demonstrators have been marking martyrs day in an annual commemoration of to protest his who were killed in one thousand nine hundred eighty four there are also reports of demonstrators using molotov cocktails in their clashes with the government forces bahraini authorities banned all public gatherings a few months ago in an attempt to stem almost two years of unrest in which up to eighty people have been killed and thousands arrested. from americans for democracy and human rights in bahrain believes the situation won't change as long as the

government remains backed by western powers. that they always talk the good talk but they never. do the walking and other wards essentially they came under tremendous pressure from the united states to open up their political systems to start a serious dialogue to reform the political. situation however you know such serious steps has been taken for example we still see attacks on peaceful course we still see political prisoners released torture still taken place human rights violations are placed on daily basis the human rights issue as they go into behind not allowing just in the first place first the law of the king came up with a law that basically banned any kind of peaceful protests that itself is a violation of international law so when people challenge the law that's not illegal there is a clear double your double standard when it comes to u.s.

a history of psychological problems whatever more hala was this is real motivation was his act of self-immolation sort of a string of events which became known as the arab spring decades old regimes were toppled but what came to replace them is hardly what most of the people in these countries had in mind when they were doing the revolutions they wanted freedom of speech and free elections bread on their tables and jobs what they got seems to be a very different result situation a swore strike on comparison to. comparison to the years before. the revolution personally i don't feel safe. when we see. all the violence of the police. or of salafist. if unpoliced attacked by some nationalist people. there are less freedoms right now
11:07 am
when it comes to under their own freedoms there are attacks on individual freedoms every day i received so many messages from girls saying but they were. straight even by police men. who didn't tolerate their or their way or for the rest think this used to be a common pattern in the countries that i showed it's a very just two years ago hopes of transition from authoritarian regime to new democratic forms of government seem to have your old rising is religion economy is in shambles and increasing discontent the pattern is the same in tunisia and egypt where people are going out on the streets again with a renewed. sest though only months ago they were rallying in support of the muslim brotherhood and the freedom and justice party during elections a lot of people did vote for the muslim brotherhood in egypt because they wanted

a place where no one can stop them and they have unlimited money and weapons the western leaders were quick to praise changes across the middle east they said it was the beginning of a new democratic era for the region but the model of democracy they may have had in mind doesn't seem to be the right fit i think it has to be a different type of a democratic system. the democracy that the u.s. would like to impose upon egypt tunisia and morocco and the other countries throughout the region and even libya where what was waged last year to topple the gadhafi government is not suitable to the people inside of that region in tunisia in and out of school or to. egypt. post uprising country still and tell more as we report a little later this hour here on our t.v. country's opposition groups according to more protests against the islamist back to the draft constitution it goes into the final round of referendum voting this

11:13 am
a rerun of some of these poll results suggest fifty six percent of egyptians approve of the draft constitution which is supported by president morsi and the muslim brotherhood the opposition says the document is poorly drafted and turns the constitution into an islamist code the biggest opposition alliance the national salvation front has called on people to take to the streets to defend their freedoms ahead of the referendum second stage this saturday the group spokesman wood is hoping the opposition's complaints won't remain unheard. of right now we want the authorities the election commission to look into the violations and to decide by itself whether this is big enough in order to repeat the first round and in case we are going to go to the second round we want to make sure that israelis are not going to be repeated particularly in terms of the outcome to this it's a privilege and there were not enough judges yesterday to look into the or to supervise the vote we also complained about preventing our observers the preservers of human rights groups from attending the counting process according to
11:14 am
a decision by the judges we want to attend and be present during the counting and we also complaining about the fact that the muslim brotherhood members were continuing their propaganda inside the polling stations until the last minute trying to influence voters and try to convince them to vote yes for the constitution claiming that voting no would that mean that you are an infidel or that you are again is this them so we're still holding a lot of hold the president morsi will listen to the voice of wisdom and considering that this is a draft constitution that's dividing the country even if we take the results that are being circulated right now it's not enough definitely in a country after the revolution to have a constitution that's approved by a fifty something just. environmentally friendly energy looks like a reasonable solution when natural resources are running low and exploiting them becomes more dangerous u.k. wants fifteen percent of the country's energy needs to be covered by renewable sources by twenty twenty but that could prove too costly for the public as parties or smith reports. wind turbines turn in the breeze they might not generate
11:15 am
much power but they're certainly putting people in a spin it's a route that dividing david cameron's coalition government to get his energy minister says he's against wind farms and enough is enough while his energy secretary says he's going home for them to speak for the government the energy secretary or the energy minister or the prime minister but in this case he doesn't seem quite sure there's been no change to alter nubile energy but in the same breath he hinted the number of wind farms could be reviewed after current targets are fulfilled this would anger the liberals but greatly pleased those who say wind farms are an expensive waste of time such as landowner three merrick's who lives near little cheney caught wind farm the locals were united against it every single democratically local organization that's the councils were against it but of course
11:16 am
the developers very careful they dished out a lot of money to locals and of course that bought a bit of support amazingly wind farms have got a p.r. . campaign behind them but people do sing seem to think that they're helpful to the environment which of course they're not this one's been open since two thousand and eight and during that time output has improved but it's coming from a pretty low base but only twenty one and a half percent capacity in its first year to just twenty six percent last year. there are twenty six wind turbines behind me each one of which costs in the region of two million pounds to erect according to locals we've come on a good day although wind turbines are currently working usually they say that's not the case and a lot of the time they're just standing there and that's the rub people need electricity twenty four seven not just when the wind is blowing so wind power still
11:17 am
needs supplementing by fossil fueled power stations but despite its shortcomings the taxpayer folks out fifty percent of its running costs are subsidies the right way to encourage an industry to mature or are actually what you're doing i think what we're doing is we're rewarding in adequate technologies now and indeed we're fossilize in the more infantilizing them we actually preventing growth what we really need to save these people yes well if you can improve and you can show that you've got a place you're welcome for the moment we're covering them with gold when in fact i quite inadequate locals are quick to point out that less than eight kilometers away is a nuclear power station supported by the community as a reliable source of power and local employer unlike the wind farm which is controlled from germany but if david cameron refuses to be blown off course the government will stick to its plans and more than double the amount of on shore wind power by two thousand and twenty to meet european targets nor smith r.t.

of doing it and i actually called is being used not only in lieu of dollars leaving afghanistan but also it's a very very interesting change for money launderers for drug smugglers and also there's. another angle to this which would be the dumping of gold. regional players and even beyond the region because around afghanistan there are some central asian countries and as far as russia to russia a good producers of gold. drug. money that was coming into afghanistan or other bartering was taking place gold is taking a new shape and it's easier to carry and also the central bank of afghanistan is totally oblivious to these things and they're always act after the fact the same way that they acted about after the failure of one of the african banks they are also always behind the curve. bashar assad's vice president says neither side can
