nobody's a perfect budget that's how the ease new spending plan has been described after the block's leaders cobble together their new seven year allocation the one hundred sixty billion euro package will mark the first time that the european union budget has been cut as the blocks inception the deal was sealed after twenty five hours of intense haggling. with it being compared to a bazaar leading the charge of all cards was written by some northern european states they found resistance of these particles from a coalition of nations led by france with french president francois hollande apparently refusing to even meet british prime minister david cameron but it's not a done deal yet with skeptical european parliament deputies now threatening to see it constitutionally the well within their rights to reject the thing and send it back and have another go at writing this know whether they actually do that will probably depend on the fine print of the budget or already you politick to said he
4:06 am
would be able to support the steel and the heads of one of the major groups in the parliament the socialist group said that they were likely to be supportive so it's going to be rocky reuter think this budget over the next few months cameron's right talk about this being like a reduction in a credit card limits and of course you can have your credit card limit reduced and still spend carry on spending more money you know that's almost certainly what's going to happen to britain over the next few years the amounts that britain is expected to pay into the main e.u. fund will increase as a result of increased payments to a new member countries so he's going to pretend that this will show how britain can still be a force in europe how we can push the rest of europe around discourses over the fact of course that he would have got anywhere in this without the support of the angle of merkel in particular so he can he can try to push that line that you know he knows what he's doing to europe and that we don't need to go so far as to step out of the european union but i wouldn't see the more euro skeptic members of his own party being particularly impressed by any of this. david cameron may be

claiming victory in brussels but domestically one is she is refusing to go away the investigation into rage fixing at banks in britain is expanding with revelations over just how widespread the practice was revelations that have left artie's a mess kind spirit. i'm going to avoid the t word for today just just for variety i mean if i thought the t. word is being prosecuted in this country or america i would mention if i thought they were drone sent up the shrink shrink jenkins over at barclays bank and exploded innocent testers of splattered on the wall i thought that would have any effect if i thought the government would give a flying here about their own population i would mention the word but i don't know because they don't. if you're a british soldier over a police officer on the beat a you may have an easier time and earn more money by serving coffee in the houses of parliament a new and recruiting barristers is causing controversy among the public angry at
4:08 am
the seemingly disproportionate salary how she's got the story. the house of commons is looking for someone to join their team of burma reste is to basically so hot fancy beverages to politicians now the job pays overt twenty thousand pounds per year which to put into context for our international viewers is over thirty thousand dollars per year if we compare that job to other public sector jobs we've got policeman who studies have recently been cut starting salaries they now start on nineteen thousand pounds a year similarly with soldiers who start on over seventeen just over seventeen thousand pounds per year so you've got frontline jobs that carry risks to your life the people who are detecting the safety of british citizens that are being paid less than somebody who's serving coffee to politicians one of the police federation
4:09 am
representatives took to twitter to ask where they could apply for such a nice resty job in parliament because it's obviously a lot safer and it's paying more than some of the frontline police offices but i spoke to the former editor of the police tribute to find out what the morale all is like among the police officers amidst these revelations well morale is already rock bottom amongst police officers anywhere as is because of this tax on their pay and conditions that pensions and then they find out as you say the politicians who could like the rest of us may tune coffee themselves and let's not let's remember that the coffee they have will be heavily subsidized by the taxpayer is a lot of people's wages being either frozen or slashed just like the police officers we hit the streets of london a little bit earlier to find out whether people in london think that someone who serves coffee to politicians should be making more money than a front line police officer let's take a look at my coffee twenty grand of commons where do i saw it i get so i'll just
4:10 am
get there from washington research coffee game here. you're probably no closer to night again tonight is basically you can be going there because they're just being ridiculous and avatars are very pretty and they should be ashamed of themselves for doing so that shows just how out of touch the politicians are with the problems of ordinary brits and of course a lot of critics saying that with austerity measures really voting for a lot of people in the u.k. and politicians kind of made to wear the capsule of boiling water and some instant coffee on a service and but no rewards the u.k. fans it's world war two veterans from receiving russian medals honoring their bravery in that the calm voice saying the time to award them is that. skepticism and mistrust appears prevalent and behind with talks between the

opposition and the government set to resume on sunday aimed at breaking the political deadlock activists blamed the authorities for gagging the voices of protests while officials insist that they've made more than enough concessions artie's alessio ships your reports now on freedom of speech or lack of in. if you look through any pro-government newspaper in bahrain you'll get an impression that the government has nothing to hide the news of an uprising of the opposition is dominating the front page and if you look through it you'll see other stories about the political discourse in the country the country's information minister insists bahrain has no problems with people speaking out what it it that if in freedom of expression of our allies very high because it is guaranteed by the constitution moreover there is a law to be issued soon that further guarantees it we have a problem related to banning some websites but that's to protect bahrain from six

hearing ethnic problems and violence only and not for any other reason. but this is what happened when we tried several opposition websites having looked through these pages later we did not notice any extremist overtones and so you see from bahrain center for human rights believes the government is deliberately attempting to silence views different to its own center for a moderate which i work for website is a blog we have almost more than four hundred twelve side out a block or more than most of them are human rights. political website although of certain beheaded our block we have only facebook and twitter there are many which is not a blog. sayed spoke to us on the back over two week prison term for what was called breaking the law on public gatherings several weeks later he was arrested again and the editor in chief of bahrain's only independent newspaper says this is how things

this is our team los angeles police department has launched the largest ever manhunt off to a former officer turned against them the search for christopher dunn us suspected of killing three people has spread to three u.s. states and military message thousands of police. offices are involved in the operation as donna is believed to be a well trained and heavily armed are on facebook he posted a metaphor declaring war on the l.a.p.d.
4:16 am
was somewhat the people on his hit list also accusing the department of quote internal corruption racism and concealment of excessive force and quote michael rubin investigative journalist and a former l.a.p.d. officer himself says there are many skeletons in the l.a.p.d. he's a closet. i don't condone what's happened and i want to violence and killing to end but more important i want him to be brought in alive which is something i do not think that the l.a.p.d. law enforcement or the u.s. government wants under any circumstances with regard to his specific allegations about his case and i'm currently reviewing legal documents that are becoming available on mark i have to tell you that with regard to his allegations about a rigged trial board hearings. and. very egregious unprofessional coverup excessive force but also management drove him out malfeasance perjury and a lot of other serious things i believe in one hundred percent the l.a.p.d.
4:17 am
has been shown has a consistent cultural problem with racism cover up and cronyism within the department that has victimize i think and probably driven out a great many good officers iler for similar reasons it appears a medal is too much to ask for according to the u.k. which is refusing its veterans a russian on as muscle ones are awarded to reward british ships for bravery in world war two specifically sailors who got a critical convoys as supplies the u.s.s.r. but as ours is they're going to school reports that's not something london is willing to allow. imagine doing a service to a foreign country during a time of war risking your life going through unimaginable hardships all in the name of helping an ally imagine that country wanting to reward you with a medal of honor and then imagine your own government refused to allow you to accept the medal for rather ambiguous reasons that's precisely what's happening to
4:18 am
several hundred veterans in the u.k. the russian government wanted to award them the medal for their service in the arctic convoy during world war two but the foreign and commonwealth office has refused the request saying that they appreciate the move from moscow but they simply cannot be granted because current rules dictates foreign medals can only be accepted within five years of the events occurring but the british government is promising to soon create a medal to honor u.k. troops who participated in the arctic convoys now the convoys delivered thousands of anti tank guns and fighter planes to the u.s.s.r. between nine hundred forty one in one thousand nine hundred five the road to went from north america and and the u.k. it's made it look simple enough on the map but it was anything but that the convoys were constantly attacked by german u. boats ships and planes and when humans avoided the problem the convoys often filled
4:19 am
victim to the horrendous storms in the icy cold waters of the arctic that was some seventy years ago and many of the veterans feel they may not live to see the day the u.k. very wards them with its old version of the metal and for some there is a feeling of bitterness feeling they're being refused a medal of what they truly deserve or tycho wife not just from a bold mothership might post from present. to may. also we were what we could. do so. we went to do job. another think that. was on russian convoys i know another caller on the group geo you know mother ship might know all there was a governmental has been created to reward those fighting at sea for bravery it's one of the highest military decoration in russia its importance as such but it has been retained from the soviet union era because of the madly two defeats it was
4:20 am
awarded for so there are a few years old to let a foreign government honor their service in the greatest war of modern history makes veterans wonder what's behind the reason if it had been america to offer this medal which are all may not served on the american i when i was in shanghai and china cities but. i mean sorry they were to offer me a medal what would be to their written the government's response to the. for their part so many british veterans such as john seemed open and receptive to the idea of a medal coming from russia while the owner did yes just to have possession and so i have a few years ago left if a few years. and it down to meet children we grant you a minister surprise possession to me just not only bad to us but this coming from russia this will be extra special but unfortunately in their decision making
4:21 am
process it appears the u.k. government did not consider the feelings of its country's veterans. as members of a radical feminist group get semi naked in berlin do you think women should get topless to fight for. would you do it right we were in march a few think french girls would do it more often than american girls i think so. in the resident of this week laurie how often is asked whether women should get make it to attract wanted attention. it could be the end of an era for legendary cosmodrome that saw the first man last thing off into space political differences between russia and kazakstan have led to rumors us to stop renting by canoe to moscow arches tom botton has the story. they call him the first or the shooter anatoly has worked at the baikonur cosmodrome in kazakhstan
4:22 am
for fifty years he's the man who say blast off but now he's worried about political meddling in the spaceports future. we are living a normal life here so i believe they shouldn't try to fix something that's not broken since the end of the soviet union russia has rented baikonur from kazakstan but recently the head of the kazakh space agency annoyed by a lack of progress on the joint rocket project called for a halt to some of the launches allowed them. indeed the number of heavy proton rockets allowed to launch in two thousand and thirteen has dropped from seventeen to twelve it's prompted behind the scenes wrangling with moscow demanding reimbursement of expensive launch contracts are lost when those demands were leaked though both sides rushed to state there was no problem. there is no scandal no
4:23 am
sensation there's no divorce between cuz it stan and russia on the subject of the baikonur cosmodrome however as russia's foreign minister pointed out there is a question mark over baikonur what else that we need to address the issues as long as they arise that also refers to the questions arising about the number of launches this was the place from where yuri gagarin became the first man in space and for now both russia and kazakhstan both have an interest in continued launches from baikonur but with russia building a new cosmodrome in the far east that situation won't last for ever. rising out of the center of the vast kazakh step baikonur has always been a strange place whether our gate to the stars remains here or not it will always be from here that humankind first reached the cosmos tom bottom lattimore. their radical feminist group for man. at it again and this time they've gone
4:24 am
topless at the berlin film festival to protest against female circumcision the demonstrators jump to evan perez before being courted by security guards at attracting a lot of attention along the way so if you've got it she just want it all cause the residents lori hoffman's hit the streets of new york to find out what you think. a new york city it's legal for ladies to protest topless so where are the boobies this week let's talk about that part of the body even though it's still private. but do you think that would draw a lot of attention to the cause yeah but then again you know the tracks are all grown sometimes too but it attracts you dare. i would want to say. would you
4:25 am
ever consider protesting topless for a reason yeah what would be the reason. you would go topless for that yeah would you do it well maybe you are much. do you think french girls would do it more often than american girls i think so why is that what's wrong with the kind of crazy it would be a way to get he was attention but i personally wouldn't do it maybe someone knows and i mean do you think that it would be little a cause or help because. i don't know if he'll do it much it's will bring more awareness i guess people will look so it's not what protesting is all about. but let him out lady the bottom line is going topless is a sure fire way to bring attention to your cause so ladies you might want to consider that the next time you suit up for your big rally.
4:26 am
coming up in a couple of minutes it's a break in the saddle with a savvy months and on odds stay with us. secretary of state hillary clinton recently testified to congress in regards to the attack on the u.s. consulate was killed an american ambassador in benghazi libya during the testimony couldn't rather calmly said things like that the revolutions that sprang up during the arab spring like in libya where the events in bali have created instability and
4:27 am
safe havens for terrorists and she made it clear that there is no doubt that the algerian terrorists had weapons from libya so the us secretary has basically admitted that the actions of the usa and nato have caused a mass instability that has allowed the seeds of terrorism to grow when the justification for most of the actions in the muslim world is to stop evil dictators who harbor terrorists or spread shouting to mock recy if libya would have been left alone algerian terrorists wouldn't be getting any weapons from it now this is like an exterminator accidentally or maybe on purpose actually feeding the roaches in your basement so that there are ten times more of them and then saying that he has to keep working because he's the only one who can get rid of the roaches people like hillary clinton who support funding brutal jihad it's rebel groups to overthrow governments to somehow bring about stability and democracy are either dismally stupid or consciously running a very brutal con game but that's just my opinion.
