i am. i am. i am. spain is set for more public fury with hundreds of thousands ready to cry out against the doctors and nurses demanding plans to privatized hospitals. protests in bahrain are met with tear gas and stun grenades as activists claim the nation is going through the worst political crisis in its modern history. and egypt's opposition groups call for nationwide protests to challenge the outcome of the first round of voting results show backing for that is mr constitution.

online on screen international news and comment live from moscow this is. hundreds of thousands of people are set to march in spain to protest against the government's cuts and reforms the demonstrations called by the country's top labor union and social groups will continue to tomorrow protests crowds of become common scenes on the streets of spain. of healthcare workers march across madrid to make their feelings clear and are planned to privatized hospitals the government insists it's needed to lift the country out of its deep recession. e.u. leaders agreed closer integration in brussels french president francois hollande says there's no doubt about the integrity of the eurozone but investment advisor patrick young believes the euro's continued existence is a facade while spain is simply run out of cash. the problem is

that the spanish government doesn't have any money and that told me the problem the difficulty with the spanish government is that it hasn't actually wanted to to bite the bullet for the multiple 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 there have to be salvaged cultures because truly spin 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 tragedy for the poor independent health care 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 died at least the fact that the euro was held together the european union is putting on

a brief it is 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 time even if it's not going to be as instantaneous as some of us might have predicted the cradle of the arab spring has marked two years since the start of the uprisings with an angry attack on the country's president people threw stones at months of mizuki who was visiting a town where a protester set himself on fire triggering the string of uprisings across the region and as artie's and in the going to school reports many of those who helped usher in the changes back in two thousand and ten say they are still no better off . it began here in tunisia two years ago when a poverty stricken fruit vendor set himself on fire in an act of desperation so i'm saying he was a hero others say he was

a drunkard with mr and psychological problems whatever more hala was this is real motivation was his act of self-immolation set up a string of events which became known as the arab spring decades old regimes were toppled 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 bred on their tables and jobs what they got seems to be a very different result situation as war 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 the salafist or. if unpoliced attacked by some nationalist people.

there are less freedoms right now when it comes to and they were doing 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 way off for the rest think this used to be a common pattern in the countries that i showed the so-called arab spring just two years ago hopes of transition from authoritarian regime to new democratic forms of government seem to have altered rising islamism economies in shambles and increasing discontent the pattern is the same in tunisia and egypt where people are pouring out on the streets again with a renewed zest. the only months ago they were rallying in support of the muslim brotherhood and the freedom and justice party during the elections i think a lot of people did vote for the muslim brotherhood in egypt did so because they

wanted economic changes not just getting rid of mubarak and having morsi and morsi we know he's obviously. a very different political figure to mubarak in terms of his ideology has carried on much the same policies in terms of economic policy in libya the uprising took a bloody turn moammar gadhafi who ruled the country for over forty years was deposed and killed in two thousand and eleven and he merely be in government has been struggling to control parts of the country going as far as besieging the entire town of bani walid for allegedly providing shelter to diehard khadafi supporters the are using heavy machinery to demolish these demolished houses they can't be. again it's just a few people children and really sick reaming we would do humanity of the world to . save our family. i got this time to make leave.

now that. no one can stop them and they have an unlimited money and we've been in 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. 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 it was waged last year to topple the gadhafi government is not suitable to the people inside of the region in tunisia in and out of. security forces in bahrain of use pepper spray to 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 is who were killed in one thousand nine hundred four and also reports of demonstrators using models of cocktails in their clashes with the government forces or any 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 percent of dollars 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. they are with talk the good talk but they never. do the walking and other wards recently 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 no such serious steps has been taken for example we still see attacks on peaceful protests we still see political prisoners not been released torture still taking place human rights

violations are taking place on the only basis the human rights issue as they go into behind not allowing or 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 double standard when it comes to u.s. foreign policy in the region especially rain and syria where the rise violations are committed i'm behind on daily basis however we we hear no condemn nation from the united states and we would like to see a larger scale of. diplomatic pressure and international pressure on the bahraini regime. egypt is no the post uprising country still in turmoil as we reported a little later here in r.t.

the south the country's opposition groups according to hold protests against the islamist backed draft constitution goes into the final round the referendum placing this saturday. and the u.k.'s plans to go green could prove too costly for its people while the moves are also splitting views in parliament as the fourth after the break. choose your language. we can we know if they feel some.

wealthy british scientists are. not on the right of the. market why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike stronger for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune into a report. within twenty four hours a day this is all to life in moscow and environmentally friendly energy looks like a reasonable solution when natural resources are running low and exploiting them

becomes more dangerous the 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 north smith reports. wind turbines turn in the breeze they might not generate 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 newel 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 philip 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 the developers very careful they dished out a lot of money to locals and of course that board a bit of support amazingly wind farms have got a p.r. . campaign behind them but people do think 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 that 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 all the 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 needs supplementing by fossil fueled power stations but despite its shortcomings the taxpayer forked 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 and i think what we're doing is we're rewarding inadequate technologies now and indeed we're fossilize in the more infantilizing them we're actually preventing growth what we really need to say to these people yes well if you can improve and you can show that you've got a place you're welcome we're covering them with gold when in fact they're 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. can't. opposition groups in egypt have called on their supporters to stage a nationwide protest to challenge the outcome of the first round of the referendum on the new islamist backed constitution they claim the vote was marred by widespread violations with rights groups calling for a rerun of saturday's poll early results suggest fifty six percent of egyptians approve of the draft constitution which is supported by president morsi the muslim brotherhood but the opposition says the document is poorly drafted and turns a 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's spokesman

is hoping the opposition's complaints won't remain unheard. 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's why these are not going to be repeated particularly in terms of the outcomes of this was 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 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 tried to convince them to vote yes for the constitution claiming that voting no would that mean that you are in for that. so we're still holding a lot of hope that 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 boss. the u.k. needs action because it could soon fall into fuel poverty that's according to a new report for making that thousands of people making pensioners in the disabled afford to keep warm twenty sixteen that story in. the next. month thank you for the website plus also an. option of russian children to american. institutions helping prospective parents in response to the controversial. all that's on the website. of human capabilities. struggling with page three. to become. a force. in.

a trafficking racket carried out with the connivance of the afghan government. naturally when you're trying to stem one thing from flowing away there will be other ways of doing it and that's really gold as is being used not only in lieu of dollars take 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 by. regional players and even beyond the region because around afghanistan there are some central asian countries and even as far as russia up to russia are good producers of gold and the drug. money that was coming into afghanistan or other bartering was taking place gold is taking a new shape in it and it is easier to carry and also the central bank of afghanistan is totally oblivious to these things and they always act after the fact

the same way that they acted about after the failure of the afghan one of the afghan banks they are also always behind the curve but shallow sides vice president says neither side can win in syria's conflict for a new culture a call for the creation of a national unity government to settle the crisis some opposition parties are said they're open to seeing him lead an interim cabinet a neighboring turkey that strongly supports the rebels also considers him a credible candidate to replace the sacked this damascus is on the defensive al-qaeda linked militants claim to have captured another loyalist base while russia and china leading calls against foreign action in syria and want a political settlement instead. weepie the that the matters of the season wrap should be decided by this evening people not by the outside force you through the outside force he say that i don't like the sky i want him to build two for the
