live from moscow this is here with me lori sushi thank you for joining us today it's been revealed that the f.b.i. knew of a plot to assassinate occupy wall street activists but didn't a lot of them to the potential danger of the bureau was instead spying on members of the movement branding the most criminals and domestic terrorists details on this now it's wattis marina portnoy. well it's not clear yet why the f.b.i. would neglect to tell activists there was a potential assassination plot surrounding them what we do know is that new documents obtained by the partnership for civil justice fund a us 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 occupy wall street protesters as quote domestic terrorists and quote criminals now the more shocking revelation the headline of this story is that reportedly buried deep within the government. mentions of a plan to use snipers to assassinate occupy protesters and the movements 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 alerted 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. would neglect to tell occupy protesters u.s. citizens about an assassination plot surrounding them. marina forty nine reporting that of course the f.b.i.'s mission is to protect and defend americans but i'm not like a smell an independent journalist who was on the occupy protests says the bureau was only signing with the so-called one percent of society this coronation between the f.b.i. the department of homeland security and corporations and the new york stock exchange really showed who they're serving it's it's not the government in this case is 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 protest 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 that's you know as arky prime might say the one percent. who watching on t.v. no big french make a movie star deployed to you has been granted russian citizenship again to decide to say to his home country good with its attempt to ramp up tuxes for the mega rich explaining what made him move forces return to russia that is at this point he's a really good. this is a russian passport and it seems that pretty soon as you are different here will have an exact same little book of course with a different name and a different picture now this is kind of shocking news for a lot of the public especially in russia but if you really delve into the story

then it shouldn't come as a surprise. french citizenship and has moved to belgium where he apparently has real estate at his disposal and therefore he's been granted residency in belgium all of this stems from this law that the longest trying to push through in france which will see french citizens who earn more than one million euros a year pay seventy five percent of their earnings to taxes now is your department has issued an open letter saying that he as a french citizen has paid more than one hundred forty five million euros throughout his working life and he feels that that is actually enough and he's also enjoyed a longstanding friendship with the russian president and he did joke at one point that he is considering moving to russia or montenegro a lot of people have taken that remark quite life heartedly except for the russian president who said that it. is in need of such assistance that he is ready to sign

the appropriate documents and it seems like he has actually signed these documents and we may be soon seen. their frequent guests in russia as well as possibly in belgium. himself has said that he considers himself to be the citizen of the world. reporting right now the education of britain's future generation is being put at risk by a dramatic drop in morale amongst the nation's teachers they say the government is stifling and the students are having to pay the price of my colleague. laura smith to find out exactly what it is they believe has gone so terribly wrong. 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 frustrated at continual criticism and interference from the government they said

and the figures are quite staggering actually fifty five percent of teachers surveyed said that morale was either 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 education in the right direction in this country and 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 about the government's policies here. 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 that 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 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 you were at school say that you know children aren't going to take those subjects anymore. you know teachers talk about how cuts in general have affected families and the students that they teach they say that 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 that have to move schools and of course you know family income drops just to clean which it has and what's places children are coming to school hungry they haven't had first don't go 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 family or british teachers will get nervous about reform they want changes now 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 mortgage and they say that they don't feel trusted as professionals and that's of 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

christie 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 for education on a war footing with teachers which is not going to help going forward. reporting right now the french capital was a string of. labor we're. blaming the. economic times. beyond israel separation we look at what life is like in an abandoned district that's.

thanks for joining us here. at the defend the euro zone's fortunes have led to a startling. robberies in france a gold jewelry shop so the main targets the people working in them and getting more and more nervous every day. until a month ago this was one of many jewelry shops on a quiet street in central paris after a gruesome attack by armed robbers it never reopened for business having kept robbers out of his store a fifty two year old metal worker tried to chase them down into the street into the parking lot where their motorbike stood the criminals turned around and fired 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 at jewelry stores private jewelry 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 we had to install a special amador and cameras but we still feel like we're in a war zone. 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 continues to rise of the price of gold. it is small so when you are four four he's not so difficult because it's something you could put in your pocket it's easy for people. to. be shops this is one of the consequence negative consequence of. a lot of product increase price despite so much gold legal and stolen openly on sale experts say this is seriously damaging the market private buyers are springing up and buying the precious metal at an unregulated price the police created a special unit to deal with there but the problem may only fade away when the

financial dorm world does alexy russia of ski r.t. reporting from paris now as you may have heard president obama has signed the fiscal cliff bill into law preventing the u.s. economy from sliding back into recession and the deal removed the most urgent threat but only delayed the toughest decisions and the law rushed through by the congress prevented deep spending cuts earned income tax hikes which technically took effect at midnight on generally the first income tax will only rise for the wealthy but almost all americans will still end up paying more in federal tax law makers perspire and decisions on the deficit and the debt ceiling for two months praising themselves for saving the economy from going right over the fiscal cliff but some economists however think there's actually little room for them to be happy with. congress took the u.s. government the u.s. economy hostage and they let their hostage go about an hour several hours after the

hostage deadline and they now would like to be congratulated for letting their hostages go however since they took the hostages it's hard to be excited and addition to which this has reputational damage the united states as well as really damage the united states because all the uncertainty it all the negativity over the last really ten months almost as this dragged out and this deal violated all the basic promises to both basic constituencies so nobody wanted to be responsible for a deal and everybody was much more interested in grandstanding and talking ideological purity than solving the 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 and including new taxes for people who can afford it and when the 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 half twist on their way down what they did not how they landed on their face not their feet. and what you not see and talk about drawing attention to themselves all over again one french magazine publishers of comic book biography of the prophet muhammad mocking the founder it's coming just months after a blasphemous and much of film's violence from muslims all around the world details on that on our website. and the echoes of tragedy a six year old american elementary school student has been suspended after he fooled a gun with his hands pointed it at a student and said. now there's been a fresh wave of protests in bahrain to mock twenty thirteen with unrest now just. over a month away from hitting the two year mark several arrests have also been reported

with police yet again resorting to tear gas in their violent clampdown on public gatherings the opposition is demanding a transition to democracy and the resignation of the prime minister who's held this position for over forty years bahrain's sunni monarchy recently jailed two policemen for beating a protester to death in two thousand and eleven and cut sentences for several activists who took part in that year's uprisings human rights campaigners however say all political prisoners should be released and claimed your thirties have no intention of carrying out reforms to eighty people have now been killed and thousands detained since february two thousand and eleven asma darwish claims security forces from abroad are contributing to the violence by attacking unarmed civilians. security forces who are working for the ministry of interior and i mean are practicing a lot of buy in ends and a lot of buying nations to human rights when confronting when pro-democracy

protests and behave in and out of practice took place in many different villages and areas around behaving and all of them all of them got a. crack they were a crackdown by that by the security forces and behaving who are most to be and not by any and they are working and and and their innocence and period and they they were brought from different countries for in countries like pakistan and jordan and syria and in the village where i live and sit it out it was tear gas excessive you by security forces and i could see security forces running down the streets by my house and shooting randomly inside the houses it movement was completely peace said but after witnessing that west that was during and position to or this this situation and behaving or there have been emotion in bahrain it is unlike to what is 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 in behaving old though they are those radical protestors they are the minority and not the majority but they are using such methods to prevent that why are the security forces from entering their their religious and attacking on our civilians and children like we witnessed and the big you have off of the four year old child being attacked by security forces with here gas canisters. now heavy fighting has just been reported in syria's north where rebel fighters stormed a strategic base in the province and now even claim to have a capability of producing chemical weapons some are also threatening to use them the u.n. says more than sixty thousand people have now being killed in the conflict and some experts say the lack of dialogue will simply lead to even more deaths. if. peace

negotiation and peace initiative presented by brahimi russia is not accepted by the opposition as it is at the moment the situation in syria will be escalating saw the opposition is the party who is. refusing any negotiation with the government position have chemical weapons this is a very dangerous and very very serious matter and i think. they don't have. all of the legal bounding limits not to use the danger now is to be used and then blame the government for it to initiate some kind of international response against the syrian government this is dangerous position and i think that this is what the syrian government should have always been saying that these two undermine the syrian government and two to get some kind of international attention

international support specially from the nato on the powers of the west or let's get into it right now it's time for the r.t. world update some of the global headlines for you and brief start with a u.s. drone strike that has killed senior pakistani militant leader. and his deputy commander and eight others died in the missile attack in the tribal regions bordering afghanistan and his followers had ties to the afghan taliban were accused of targeting the u.s. military in afghanistan on the same day a separate american strike to the north killed four. and former french president nicolas sarkozy accepted over sixty million dollars in illegal campaign donations from alstad libyan leader moammar gadhafi that's according to a businessman who is currently facing corruption charges and allegations of money laundering between france and the middle east the man says he can provide the

paperwork proving psycho's is chief of staff and the secretary set up the payments between two thousand and six and seven so cozy played a leading role in instigating nato airstrikes and of course hoped to topple gadhafi in october two thousand and eleven. five suspects have been formally charged with the gang rape and murder of an indian female student in new delhi a twenty three year old woman was brutally assaulted on a bus before being thrown off it as she died later in hospital from her injuries a sixth suspect is reported to be a juvenile police have ordered a bone marrow test to confirm his age at a violent attack sparked nationwide outrage and fuel debate about sex crimes in india where rape statistics are skyrocketing. now they are cut off from israel and from the palestinians a neighborhood which is part of jerusalem but lies behind israel separation barrier . is the only safe haven for many mixed families but its isolation beings the

people there have no one to rely upon but themselves are these poor asli went to be . israelis cannot live in the west bank and most palestinians cannot live in israel which leaves those israelis and palestinians who want to share a home out in the cold. one hundred my husband this from have broken i'm from jerusalem i found work in jerusalem and used to live there with my children but without my husband because he is not allowed to live there he couldn't visit me even once at the end of each week i would go to have been to visit him but lived like that for four years well come to no man's land a neighborhood that is technically part of jerusalem but in reality is on the palestinian side of the security wall that israel has built some two thousand mixed couples live here. the problem of cooper is that so many people are immigrating to the area because they have to so in four years we've had

a growth of thirty five thousand people it's become more crowded than gaza. so hair and stuff one came to live here six years ago with their three children but life in the village is far from ideal the schools are overcrowded garbage is collected only once a week and there's little fresh water so if one is old and sick and basic health services are hard to come by. my husband and my daughter don't have israeli i.d.'s and they can't pass through the checkpoint any special permission which is very difficult to get on the other hand i enter my children have israeli id we have a lot of problems far curve is in north jerusalem eighty two percent of the land belongs to jerusalem eighteen percent to the west bank residents pay taxes to the israeli government but because the area lies outside the israeli wall israel is slow to provide services the municipality says that many of the people living in

far cub are doing so illegally and so it's not obliged to provide them with services it also says that the security wall makes it more complicated to carry out the services and the state needs to give it more money there have been small victories though residents took the municipality to court and one garbage collection at least for now should be more frequent this is the minimal problem from them it's really they deal with us as an enemy in jerusalem so we have to carry that because we have our right we will be the text of everything and the suffering from that phones and internet access are limited because palestinian companies are not allowed to install lines in a so-called israeli area and because the israeli police won't come here law enforcement is scarce and the more there are poorly because like this one the goal is to make them not part of jerusalem and to make them fall under the jurisdiction of the palestinian authority and living in the middle of it all are couples and stuff when they merely want to be together but politics and division are making

that more and more difficult every day police here r.t. jerusalem. on in just a few minutes here on out say we look at those who prepared for the cosmic calamity of the never was the monaco but that is just a simple way. ron paul has rejected the national rifle association safety plan and by safety plan the enery proposes basically turning every school in america into a prison camp so on this one ron paul i'm with you in the wake of the tragic events at sandy hook elementary and every vice president wayne la pierre called on congress to immediately appropriate whatever is necessary to put armed police

officers in every school so yeah what is the solution to isolated incidents of extreme violence make every child live their entire school life at gun point before putting armed guards in schools maybe we should take a look at the fact that more than twenty five percent of american kids are on medication and that's just the kids altering their mental state legally mom is working two jobs so she isn't around dad is a wall and the t.v. who's the new parent shows kids nothing but images glorify violence for revenge and torture when someone is getting harassed every day at school and maybe getting harassed at home they feel totally alone and they see no future and no escape from the hell that they're in they are going to take drastic measures to get out of it you know in the fifty's sixty's and seventy's there were still plenty of guns and there were no armed officers in schools but there were no shootings society changed and school violence erupted societies what needs to change to call them things back

down but that's just my opinion. one afternoon on the shores of the ocean blue. one of those days when it feels good to be alive on the planet earth. carefree humanity. maybe unthinking humanity even . a few kilometers away a man has given us an appointment on a mountain summit. at places.
