4:03 am
completely peace said but after witnessing the west that was during and was issued toward this situation and buying all. you should invite me it is unlike what does what they are it claiming like they are encouraging human rights in different countries arab countries but when it comes to bahrain they use double standards so the protesters here inviting although they are those radical protestors they are the minority get and not the majority but they are using such methods to prevent their why didn't security forces from entering their their religious and tacking on armed civilians and children like we witnessed a big you off of the four year old child being attacked by security forces with tear gas canisters and you can always log on to our website for more opinions and analysis about the protests in bahrain just go to r.t. dot com. as the reveals that the f.b.i.
4:04 am
knew of a plot to assassinate members of the occupy wall street movement but didn't lead them to the potential danger it follows revelations that the viewer was spying on activists from the start of the protests and even rounded them domestic terror and to criminal threats in a fortnight has said he tells. well it's not clear yet why the f.b.i. would neglect to tell activists that there was a potential assassination plot surrounding them what we do know is that new documents obtained by the partnership for the civil justice fund the u.s. human human and civil rights advocacy organization have revealed that the u.s. the f.b.i. the department of homeland security the u.s. military and private corporations all cooperated together to monitor and investigate optic occupy wall street protesters as quote domestic terrorists and quote criminals now the more shocking revelation the headline of this story is that
4:05 am
reportedly buried deep within the government. mentions of a plan to use snipers to assassinate occupy protesters and the movement's leaders in various cities throughout the country these alleged plans were supposed to be taking place in the fall of two thousand and eleven now the names of the groups or individuals involved in the alleged plot are redacted from the f.b.i. documents but what critics say is clear is that the f.b.i. never all learned any one of the potential any of the potential victims that their lives could possibly be in danger or that there's any threat surrounding them the partnership for civil justice fund received the f.b.i. documents on december twenty second so this is fairly new information and this was after they filed a request under the freedom of information after now many civil rights attorneys previously have accused the f.b.i. of functioning as a de facto intelligence arm for u.s. corporations during the occupy wall street movement and especially as it grew bigger however some critics say they never ever suspected that the f.b.i.
4:06 am
would neglect to tell occupy protesters u.s. citizens about an assassination plot surrounding them. on the lettuce mill an independent journalist who was of the old one approach has says the f.b.i. is siding with the so-called one percent of u.s. society. this coronation between the f.b.i. the department of homeland security and corporations in the new york stock exchange really showed who they're serving it's it's not the government in this case it's these corporations and the financial sector and it's certainly not the people the f.b.i. is really just targeting ordinary people going about their daily lives as potential terrorists and now people who are part participating in peaceful protests are also categorized as domestic terrorists so i think the f.b.i. is really picking and choosing who it categorizes as the type of civilians it wants to protect and at this point this really shows that you know as arky primate say
4:07 am
the one percent the quality of education of britain's future generations could better treat school teachers morale in england and wales has hit a dangerous new low and london correspondent laura smith told my colleague kevin owen why over seventy percent of teachers believe education in the u.k. is on the wrong pos the national union of teachers the biggest teachers' union in the u.k. has commissioned a survey which says that morale among teachers has dropped dramatically they talked about the highs and lows of life in the classroom incredibly low morale but also frustration continual criticism and interference from the government they said the figures are quite staggering actually fifty five percent of teachers surveyed said that more always are the very low and that's up from forty two percent just eight months ago so it's really on a declining trend seventy seven percent said that they didn't feel that specific education policies of the government so specialist schools free schools were taking
4:08 am
education in the right direction in this country just five percent felt that this current coalition government impact on the education system was positive and had more specific about what the teachers don't like the government's policies. well there are specifics that they don't like they don't like this continuing interference they say that every new government that comes in completely revamp the national curriculum and the education system from what it was before say they're constantly on the back foot trying to get used to new systems there's a new test now where children aged just by are tested on phonics some children obviously fail that test and teaches a saying that if you fail a test age five as a huge impact on your future development makes you feel like a failure from an incredibly young age they're also trying to change the exam system again introducing a thing called the back where just a few core subjects would be examined differently from other subjects and people who are in the arts and sports and all those subjects that you really liked when
4:09 am
you were at school say that that you know children aren't going to take those subjects any more there certainly is you know teachers talk about how seriously and cuts in general have affected families and the students that they teach they say that if families have poorer than they children have less access to technology at home they have parents you can't help them necessarily with their schoolwork and in fact i talked to christine loh who's the general secretary of the national union of teachers and she talked about that the general science what the government is doing wrong is its whole approach to austerity because one of the things that's obvious to teachers is that great swathes of children and their families are having a very difficult time at the moment and if families lose benefits in london for example that's going to be a huge problem with housing benefit cuts they'll have to move schools and of course you know family income drops just to clean which it has and lots of places children
4:10 am
are covered school hungry they haven't had a don't go home and get a meal in the evening so in a general sense there are really quite big problems and the upshot of that is that seventy six percent of teachers surveyed said that austerity measures will have a negative impact on families or british teachers will get nervous about reform they want changes not to improve the situation is what will make the difference at minimal cost to them. well cost is of course the issue they want fewer and slow reforms they say they want to be consulted more and they say that they don't feel trusted as professionals nasht course has a huge impact on future generations of children and in fact the national union of teachers is not ruling out striking unions of course never rule out striking. to go told me specifically that they don't rule it out. the government is attacking pay and conditions and in fact just before christmas michael gave the education secretary was reported in newspapers having put the department of education on a war footing with teachers which is not going to help going forward. as the u.n.

4:12 am
this is a very dangerous and with very serious matter and i think. they don't have. all the legal bounding limits to use it and the danger of now is to be used and blame the government for. initiate some kind of international response against the syrian government this is a dangerous position and i think that this is what the syrian government has always been saying that these to undermine the syrian government and to to get some kind of international attention international support specially from the nato on the powers of the west. going for gold the french capital has been hit by a string of. jewelry shop owners have raised blaming the break ins on holiday can all make telling this story in detail and much more just ahead for you .

4:15 am
a shot at him he died right in the middle of the street in broad daylight. the murder shocked france with the country's interior ministry fearing it would not be the last incident of its kind. we must not regard these attacks as well these individuals are well trained and they can and will use force and weapons against the employees of jewelry stores. since france plunged into financial crisis armed robberies have become ever more frequent criminals not only attack stores but they also strip people of their jewelry in the street in some instances they've gone as far as digging graves up to steal golden teeth from corpses to sell jewelry stores private jura say they are scared to do their job now. we had an attack on our store last year and recently a woman working in a neighboring grocery store was taken hostage the robbers thought she worked for us
4:16 am
we had to install a special armor door and cameras but we still feel like we're in a war zone so the diamond rings and gems are a hit with the robbers but it's gold which is the biggest draw it's easy to explain say experts in the midst of the eurozone crisis the price is going up all the time . twelve years of a continuous rise of the price of gold gold is tiny it is small so when you fall for for barry he's not so difficult because it's something you could put in your pocket it's easy for people. to to the shops this is one of the consequence. negative consequence of the fog or their communities are really a lot or a product of increased price despite so much gold legal and stolen openly on sale experts say this is seriously damaging the market buyers are springing up and

a further increase in the flow of american water to countries in the area where several territorial disputes recently reached a boiling point and independent journalist james corbett says the export streak could backfire on washington. what we can see is really just a return to a very old imperial strategy of building up a bogeyman in order to then create the sales to to combat those boogey men so it's a very old strategy it was identified by name even by president eisenhower in his farewell address in one nine hundred sixty when he talked about the military industrial complex and we here we are half a century later with the exact same strategy at play and before it was the communists then there was the terrorist threat and now there's china and that threat i think it creates a situation where the economics may be what's driving this that we give it towards asia pacific but that in turn creates geopolitical realities so that for example china now sees all of these arms sales going to korea and taiwan and japan and some
4:19 am
of the u.s. allies in the region and they respond with a military armaments of their own so it's a kind of self-perpetuating. of prophecy that fulfills itself by the the economics of the situations asia has its eye on what's happening with taiwan and b. the effort to retrofit the f. sixteen fleet of of taiwan but also the japanese x. ray to expand radar for example that just recently as it was being expanded and worked on i think has to be seen as a threat by china as well so i think definitely we're going to see an increase in tensions and that will probably create more situations like we saw in the past year with the sink island dispute between japan and china. two of america's top rating agencies say congress hasn't done enough to remove the risk of another credit downgrade even despite the deal to delay going over the fiscal cliff and that is and standard and poor's are calling on lawmakers to urgently come up with a plan to slash the growing national debt which has gone of a sixteen point four trillion dollars limit congress approved a bill to avoid

4:21 am
a deal and everybody was much more interested in grandstanding and talking ideological purity than solving with nation's problems it was an expiry of the tax cuts why are we hearing much about it because they're focusing on the few successes some real some imagined and that is not an area of success and it highlights that when the republican party says no new taxes at all they mean new taxes i'm including new taxes for people who can't afford it i want a democratic party says no new taxes for anyone making under two hundred fifty thousand they mean no new taxes except for the new taxes that you know which are thirteen hundred dollars more probably on average per year so nobody really wants to talk about the face plan that they executed here they want to talk about the past twist on their way down what they did not how they landed on their face not their feet. under news justin president putin has signed a decree granting russian citizenship to one of the world's highest tox refugees french megastar. so the actor has renounced his homeland over the controversial
