thank you. it's already sturdy and to go a year long countdown to the sort you winter olympics launches although of course russia with sports stars already on the starting blocks wasn't doing listening with fresh trained and of visuals cutting ribbons. tensions in tunisia public anger over an opposition leader's killing comes close to boiling point prompting the government to dissolve and raising fears of a second revolution. and droning on the american media blitz aimed at enhancing perceptions of washington's on men leave while questions use a broad only ring. it's

eleven am here in moscow you're live with us on r.t. with me tom it's good to have you with us my drug shows the black sea resort of sochi is marking a year until the start of one of the most exciting events for action lovers and thrill seekers the winter olympics giant counter clocks have started taking in the eight major cities across the country in part is that lindsey france is following the celebrations and now joins me live from moscow with the details lindsay there's been. quite a lot of festivities happening already they can you tell us what's going to be celebrated today how today is going to be celebrated. yes i can be mayor of moscow and that is speaking just behind me they're about to kick off

a long here to countdown one year and still these saucy winter olympics with the opening ceremony and it begins now there are nine of these clocks several meters high weighing nearly eight tons each now the color scheme on these clocks is blue but as you can imagine since this walk here in moscow is set just outside red square it is red farther to the south zamboni's just like this are happening but in a much bigger way a president who tended to his meeting with the cheetah by the international olympic committee along with seventy three delegation was representing countries participating in the olympics in the then his big celebrations down there and saw kicking off today for his off with the bolshoi guys the palace and then of course you know gas and a big iceberg with some of the leading the stars and not a russian figure skating when i know we have it all out with a large fireworks display over a foot in the woods now the hope is that russia will take home good at least eleven

or gold medals to winter olympics and no doubt many experts are saying when the olympics bring on home turf or russia it could just very well carry that off now organizers are saying that even though the others events is your business not being spared whatsoever to organize these olympic games at the ticket prices will. average person she went bad same with them to give us a better idea of just what it is. like i didn't get any years of yelling at that either. of us etc a lot of what the state of things. piece by piece she's a limp dick dream is coming together would continue around the clock but with a year to go things are shaping up in the company in charge of construction has a simple message despite building everything from scratch russia will be ready and

. we plan to introduce all the facilities before the games start training facilities are ready practically all of them of host to test competitions all hotels and olympic villages are in the final phase of construction being refurbished and furnished the show jewels to open in the autumn we plan to complete construction long before the end of the year said personnel can train a man who just can gain experience in providing a good service but it cheating this goal has come at a staggering price hosting these games is costing around fifty billion dollars making them the most expensive in italy in peak history they cost ten times more than the last winter games in vancouver and ten billion dollars more than the beijing summer games however the results can already be seen. impressive if you do take a quick look around you can see what money can buy at the center of the olympic park which has six venues all within a stone's throw of each other to host the curling the skating and the ice hockey

and this is the jewel in the crown the bolshoi i stay inside this boston hockey arena it's prestigious i'm ready for use it will state the under eighteen will championships in april want to keep does an international event that will test. before the games begin. twenty fourteen is hot because the park is. i'm cold because all the alpine events or take place alone forty kilometers away. it is a similar story to say not much was paid before but there are also couture resorts has sprung up from nowhere to become the home of pines the biathlon and cross-country courses have also been created along with the pope's track and then there's something you can't fail to meet but if you make your way down the mountain will eventually come to hey one of the most dramatic sights at any winter olympics the ski jumping around on the left hand side is for the men on the smaller one on

the right is for the women he will be competing for the very first time in this event at an olympics next year. linking the so-called mountain in coastal trustees has not been easy even five hundred kilometers of am rail lines have been laid and they have transformed infrastructure that the city made believing the region will reap the benefits for years to come. our residents are aware of the conditions they have to face during changes especially on the disc we certainly have many inconveniences because there's not a single street in sochi without renovation going on the roads are regularly dug up which causes traffic jams all the time however the residents are aware that it's necessary for their future brilliant future. she has undergone huge change in just six years but the transformation is almost complete and the black sea resort believes he can and will deliver against remember this time next year and.

take. a brand new wave of public fear in tunisia has seen that the country's government dissolved the ruling islamists say a nonpartisan cabinet of technocrats will be formed to manage the state until elections can be held police wide guess thousands of angry protesters in the capital tunis on wednesday after they attacked the offices of the governing party the andras was blocked up by the assassination of a key opposition leader chokri belaid with some claiming the authorities were

responsible political analyst danny mikey believes a government shuffle won't be enough to calm the storm. this is a calculus for more violence and war and. of course community with the hope of the arab spring we know is an area where you have the arab street so politicized any small change of course you can create content and hatred within society and this is essentially a very good museum now where you have mass protests against the government we have many calls for the government to resign you have outrage public outrage against this affiliation which has been deemed has been committed by people who have close links with the government this is the good of the using government but this really shows that the arab spring is not necessarily going to force a change in a good it has been a force for aggression it has led to more backward policy and they showed the muslim brotherhood they really have much. more they have done essentially replace

the regime which they have supposedly overthrown and they have continued the same the same regressive and negative policies which have been undertaken by the previous us the. in a while and some in tunisia blame in the high profile killing of the ruling islam most a man that's watching host of tunis international radio says some believe this outside influence could be to blame. people believe that anomalies you just might be behind the attack but the majority believe there to really have to be patient in two weeks the final report to the this occasion from the interior ministry to be able to say whether this or the other one. committed this described this situation the leader of another party they are pointing to forty and they have mentioned they said there are probably fourteen hands who are trying to spread throughout tunisia

wrote this country to hijack the revolution from its. yielding to an angry congress u.s. president barack obama has agreed to hand over classified documents which he says that justify his policy of ordering targeted killings of suspected terrorists u.s. lawmakers have been demanding the files for years but the president has staunchly refused to strike but risen do some senators had hinted they would block his nominee for cia chief from told loftus john brennan the man behind the u.s. drone program is to face the senate at his confirmation hearing on thursday and as artie's damage can his confirmation could only broaden the horizon america's role. in the shadows no more drones are moving into the mainstream was drone makers in the u.s. military pushing to defend the killing machine drones are more properly titled

remotely piloted vehicles allow us to do is to project capability without projecting vulnerability and their revolutionizing work. by allowing us to see and . from half a world away a major drone manufacturer lockheed martin has financed an hour long documentary on drones aired recently on u.s. public television carrying the techno. logical capabilities of the killing machine from trailers like this pilots of the predator and its larger cousin the reaper have killed thousands of individuals since two thousand and one using remotely piloted aircraft contrary to popular belief actually provides the greatest degree of ethical oversight for their use and this young man in pakistan would probably disagree several of his family members died at the remote hands of a drone more than a thousand other civilians were reportedly killed by u.s. drone strikes in pakistan and yemen we find ourselves murdering people in many

cases children with no evidence whatsoever that they're involved in any criminal or terrorist activity the numbers should not come as a surprise considering the broad definition the obama administration gives us to who should be on their kill list the leaked memo on targeted assassinations on the us justice department suggests the us government can kill people even without evidence that they are actively plotting against america if you extend the logic or studio logic being pretty out by the white house now where you come. live you might say that we're in danger of going over we're getting very close to zero thought crimes that if somebody a u.s. citizen or otherwise is believed to be thinking something that could lead to actions against united states then this illogical logic would present the idea that it would be ok for the president to order that that person be killed to spite the u.n. raising concerns about the legality of the use of drones the u.s.

is said to expand its remote control warfare setting up new drone bases across the world the latest announcement a new facility in asia where obama has redefined war through an intervention in libya he made the case that the war powers act in a quiet because there was no risk to american soldiers and so under that rationale he can expand the global war. while in his state of the union address claiming that we don't need perpetual war for peace but it is perpetual war when you can drop bombs on any country and then claim that it's not war john brennan often referred to as the architect of the administration's drone war counts the new opportunities for the us to wage wars without risking american lives there is another reason the targeted strikes can be a wise choice mr teacher consequences that inevitably come with the use of force. as we have seen deploying large armies abroad won't always be our best offense all

in all the u.s. now has around ten thousand drones in its fleet not all of them carry weapons of course a lot of them are for surveillance both domestic and international there's a great push both from the administration and the drone makers to present them as america's next best thing john brennan if confirmed will soon be at the helm of the cia and no one doubts that under him the program will expand even further the goal is pretty much clear to be able to control the world with a remote control in washington i'm going to. some of the heaviest fighting in months erupts in the syrian capital rebels are trying to take control of a key approach to the city center of facing heavy government resistance that's just fine both sides vocalizing a willingness to negotiate and that's in a few minutes. and enbridge cinephile on his only private messages sent between the internet uses could be decoded and monitored and the

. it's good to have you back you're watching r t the british government is considering using saul called black boxes to monitor private citizens internet use they say in the interest of safety the move has been slammed as the point is the invasion of privacy and emma carr the deputy director of the big brother watch organization says the new measures would do nothing to catch people who pulls a real security threat the u.k. government seems to think that it's necessary to monitor the communications of every person in great britain rather than actually looking for the people who are actually committing crimes that are going to drive those people further and further underground of the internet and they're only going to capture the the innocent and

the incompetent as far as i'm concerned not by any means saying that communications data isn't important but when you have the director general of m i five talking about the evidence that was used to make their spill and calling it pretty heroic assumptions that were being made that the m i five obviously going to need this information and will react to this information if they're saying that this bill isn't based on fact it's based on fund the full. imitations of facts and this is why we need to go and have a very hard look at this spill get more evidence have a much further in-depth consultation to actually get to the facts about what is needed and how it can be done. drink in the way of flight of freida may soon become illegal in russia the government is considering a crackdown on alcohol consumption on passenger planes after a series of in-flight brawls one of which even force an emergency landing that story is on a website. and will control the fall

of people they are not full of the shows they are not fight those for freedom they are just work princes and the coalition will only be able to do what its founder and main financing. entity will ask them to do and if they don't do it and they will lose this financing they would lose the support so they have to do this and simply have they don't know how to hold and they cannot because they are not united and they don't have the same view was so it's a big mess and yet the west would like to see this big mess filling the country. now for some international news in brief the leader of hamas us is in talks with palestinian president mahmoud abbas about formal coalition government khaled mashal says he's now laying the groundwork for parliamentary and presidential election has become us or took control of the gaza strip in two thousand and seven after winning any legend the year before this fall to heavy fighting with the fatah movement

welcome to the kaiser report imax kaiser i told you to get out of. to get out of sterling and out of stricken to wall street are agreeing with me yeah apocalypse which is by the way a term that i now claim ownership. u.b.s. tells clients to get ready for the bond pocalypse u.b.s. is planning a mass mailing to many of its brokerage clients alerting them that they have been reclassified as aggressive investors following a recent change in its market outlook that some people inside the firm say reflects a growing bearishness in the bond market particularly over the long term so max yeah why are they reclassifying clients as aggressive if you were a client or if you were the broker sending out this letter what is going on here

right well when you open an account at a brokerage firm per the laws of going back to thirty three and thirty four the know your customer rules you have to fill out what the profile of the customer is whether they're conservative whether they're aggressive and typically if they are conservative then they would migrate over to the bond market which are perceived to be conservative investments however now that you've had round after round of quantitative easing and if true this enormous bond bubble here in the u.k. and in the united states and around the world the sovereign bond bubble u.b.s. knows that the bond apocalypse is upon us that bond prices like in one thousand nine hundred four will drop not just twenty five percent but fifty sixty seventy percent so they're preemptively going in and they're reclassified all their customers who have checked conservative bond investor they've just without really having a discussion with those cars.
