the f.b.i. . said there was a plot against despite knowing about plans to assassinate us citizens. is now officially a russian citizen. country. say they feel the government is against them as a drop in threatens to dramatically impact the education of future generations of top stories.

around the world. this is twenty four hours a day live from moscow. that the f.b.i. knew of a plot to assassinate occupy wall street activists but didn't alert them to the potential danger the bureau was instead spying on members of the movement branding them criminals and domestic terrorists. as the details. 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 find 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 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 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 and 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 the f.b.i. its mission is to protect and defend americans but an independent journalist who was at your complaint says the bureau is only siding with the one percent of 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 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. french movie star the producer who has been granted russian citizenship to decided to say to his home country good with its attempt to ramp up taxes for the mega rich counties in the glasgow explains what made him turn to russia. this is a russian passport and it seems that pretty soon as you are due for a deal we'll 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 all that long destroying 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 you are deployed yeah has issued an open letter saying that he has 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. 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. as a frequent guest in russia as well as possibly in belgium as the himself has said that he considers himself to be the citizen of the world. 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 them and that students a paying the price. to find out what they believe it's gone 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 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's a 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. 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 revamped 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 teacher development makes you feel like a failure from an incredibly young age 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 blower 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 benefit 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 drop struck stickley which it has had lots of places children are coming to school hungry they haven't had first they may not 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 families 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 few and slow reforms they say they want to be consulted more and they say that they don't feel trusted as professionals and that's cool thousand huge impact on future generations of children and in fact the national union of teachers was not ruling out striking unions of course never ruled out striking but christie did tell me specifically that they don't use this house. 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. the british overwhelmingly want to leave the e.u.

behind its people say they would vote to leave the block if a referendum is held the prime minister says his election program will be a euro skeptic one report later. on the french capital suffers a string of robberies report a little later here this hour on how jewelry shop owners are raising the alarm blaming the break ins on hold economic times. good laboratory was able to build a renewed most sophisticated robot which on fortunately doesn't give a darn about anything. to teach me the creation of why it should care about humans . this is why you should care what your only.

mission. when you take free is for charging. free. free. free. food free. video for your media. free radio r.t. dot com. quality coming from the russian capital with twenty four hours a day the news continues now britain's part of the european union could be coming to a close with people increasingly feeling that they'd be better off without brussels in an attempt to stay in touch with the mood of the people prime minister david cameron has promised to go into the next election on the euro skeptic ticket when

it's now told to ortiz. she is in london joining me live there pretty soon then that brussels lost any kind of appeal to the british then well yeah the e.u. is popularity at a very very low amongst the british public at the moment we've just had a poll that asked respondents to grade institutions like in school and the european union got an average grade of a d. plus from the british public that's not very very high now on a more serious note this recent poll it's really marked a tipping point because for the first time in decades the number of people that say that they would vote for britain leaving the european union is the majority of the british public so it's really turning religion or britain turning into nation of real euro skeptics at the moment and it's not just the result of one poll we've seen things like for example british support for political parties and to european ones like the u.k.

independence party it's at an all time high so lots of bad news for pro europeans at the moment so what is the main grudge that many people are holding against the. well the british public has always been very divided over membership anyway but the past year has been particularly difficult we've seen the chronic financial crisis in the eurozone with a real loss of confidence that grows at the same time at home they have crippling austerity measures so there's a growing resentment towards the vast sums of money that leaves the british treasury and come straight from the u.k. budget goes straight to brussels every year when very terrible project and it's not just the money there's also the aspect of the control of north that comes from brussels that many people want to see returned back to westminster so this. goes all the way to the top of the u.k.

doesn't it right at the top of political levels well indeed david cameron the prime minister has just said that the conservative party is going to be going into the next general election in twenty fifteen as a euro skeptic party is an anti european political party that really shows that you know the government's banking on the fact that the british public is are you going to get more fed up with british membership in here and that they're really confident that that's going to happen what about brussels and how is it responding to the way that britain is giving the cold shoulder. well it can't be too pleasant listening to all this negativity about yourself and course there are reports flying around now that certain senior members of the european parliament want to offer britain a junior membership status associate membership and would in fact be a bit of a demotion whereby britain since its grumbling so much over its membership in the european union it would have much less influence over issues within the european

union itself so it's got all the hallmarks of a relationship going quite sour and now it's either going to be a question of who dumps who first or perhaps it's salvageable but with public opinion turning towards britain getting out it's going to be harder and harder to stay in. london thanks very much indeed for that ortiz pretty boy reporting there. and the dip in the euro zone's fortunes is led to a startling surge in. france golden jewelry shops of the main targets and the people working in them are getting more nervous every day. has more in this. 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 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 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 jurors 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 armored door 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 continuous rise of the price of gold. it's a small so when you. he's not so difficult because it's something you could put in your pocket. for people. who. shops this is one of the consequence negative consequence of. a lot of products increased 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 turmoil does. ski r.t. reporting from paris. president obama signed the fiscal cliff bill into law preventing the u.s. economy from sliding back into recession deal remove the most urgent threat but only delayed the toughest decisions the law rushed through by the congress prevented deep spending cuts and income tax hikes which technically took effect at midnight on general 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 postponed decisions on the deficit and the debt ceiling for two months raising themselves for saving the economy from going over the fiscal cliff but some economists think there's little for them to be happy about. 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 at 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 with nation's problems it was an expiring 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 now have 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. during attention to themselves again the french magazine publishes a comic book oh graffiti of the prophet muhammad mocking is just months after a blasphemous i'm going to film violence for moves in and around the world with details on that on a website at the moment and also. the actions of trying to be a six year old american elementary school student has been suspended after he formed a gun with his hand he pointed it at a student and said. well

a fresh wave of protests in bahrain to mark twenty thirteen with unrest now just over a month away from hitting the two year mark several arrests have also been reported with police again resorting to tear gas in the violent clampdown on public gatherings the opposition is demanding a transition to democracy and the resignation of the prime minister who's held his position for over forty years bahrain's sunni monarchy recently jailed two policeman for beating a protested to death in two thousand and eleven and cut sentences for seven activists who took part in that year's uprisings human rights campaigners however say all political prisoners should be released and claimed it already has had no intention of carrying out reforms and activists asma darwish claims that security forces from abroad are contributing to the violence by attacking civilians in their homes. security forces who are working for the ministry of interior and my head are practicing and all to by and then i long to violations to human rights when confronting when pro-democracy protests and behaving

a lot of process took place and many different villages and areas around behaving and all of them all of them. and they were a crackdown by the by the security forces and by hanes who are most to be and not by hany and they are working to. end them and so and period and they they where groups from different countries score in countries like pakistan and jordan and syria and in the village where i live and sitting on it was here a guess as to city by security forces and i could see security forces running down the street by my house and shooting randomly inside the house that is a movement was compete but after witnessing the west that was true and position towards this situation in bahrain or there have been too much and bahrain has unlike to what the what they are at play me like they are in cartagena human rights

in different countries arab countries but when it comes to buying they use double standard so the process there is here and by having a look they are those radical processors they are the minority and not the majority but they are using such methods to prevent them violent security forces from entering them there is their religion and attacking it on armed civilians and children like we witnessed and the big deal and also of the four year old child being attacked by security forces with tear gas can. heavy fighting is reported in syria's north where rebel fighters stormed a strategic base in the province even claim to have the capability of producing chemical weapons and threatening to use them the u.n. says more than sixty thousand people have now been killed in the conflict and some experts say the lack of dialogue will lead to even more deaths if. a peace negotiation and peace initiative presented by brahimi russia is not accepted

by the opposition as at the moment the situation in syria will be escalating saw the opposition is the party who is. refusing any negotiation with the government one position have chemical weapons this is a very dangerous and waited very serious matter and i think. they don't have. all of the legal bounding limits to 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 a 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. now time for some other world news making headlines

this hour here in r.t. in iraq at least twenty shiite pilgrims have been killed and dozens injured after a suicide bomb attack in the city of messiah south of the country's capital the bomber drove into a busy procession returning from the holy city of karbala where tens of thousands have been attending annual mourning rituals it follows almost two weeks of sunni protests against the current shiite prime minister nuri al maliki the latest violence highlights the continuing sectarian tensions on the rise that threaten to further divide the country. a u.s. drone strike has killed senior pakistani militant leader. and his deputy the commander and eight others died in the missile attack in the tribal regions bordering afghanistan and his followers had ties to the afghan taliban and were accused of targeting the u.s. military in afghanistan on the same day a separate american airstrike to the north killed four other militants.
