and a massive discrediting of the way in which they have operated i think there are signs that this could easily disintegrate into some kind of civil war only hopefully it won't happen and we remain to watch to see how the popular movements organize to prevent this one of those frightening thing is the amount of external support for example by the qatari government of the right wing fundamentalists and it remains to be seen whether we've got the present government will take any action against these terrorist groups. heavily armed and dangerous an ex cop and decorated military man turns against the los angeles police department and edge of the killing three people and sparking a major manhunt or promising more bloodshed. nobody's perfect budget that's how the e.u.'s new spending plan has been described after the blocks that leave this couple together then u.s. seventy allocation the one hundred sixty billion euro package to about the first

time that the european union budget has been cut since the blocks inception the deal was sealed after twenty five hours of intense haggling some comparing it to a bizarre leading the charge for cuts was britain at by some. didn't european states they found resistance though from a coalition of nations led by france the french president francois hollande the country with easy elite british pm looking at it for it's not yet a done deal skeptical european parliament deputies now threatening to sink it during a vote. constitutionally there well within their rights to reject the thing and send it back and have another go at writing this now whether they actually do that will probably depend on the fine print in the budget or already you politick to said he 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 able to support it so it could be a rocky ride i think this budget over the next few months cameron's right talk
6:06 am
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 now 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 the 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 you 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. well david cameron may be claiming victory in brussels but domestically won't he she was refusing to go away investigation into rate fixing it banks in britain and beyond this expanding the revelations of just how widespread the practice was revelations that have left

aunties max keiser exasperated. 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 imagine if i thought that our drone sent up this frank frank jenkins over at barclays bank and exploded innocent passengers splattered on the wall i thought that would have any effect if i thought the government would give a flying shit about their own population i would imagine the to a word but i don't know because they don't. if you're a british soldier or a police officer on the beat he have an easier time and move money by serving coffee in the houses of parliament and you add to recruiting coffee shop workers is causing controversy among the public and create these seemingly disproportionate salary which is probably going to cause 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 expecting the safety of british citizens that are being paid less than somebody who's serving coffee to politicians one of the police federation 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 officers 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 my role is already rock bottom amongst police officers than he was is because of his talks on their pay and conditions their 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 taxpayers a lot of people's wages being i the frozen or last just like the police officers as we hit the streets of london in the early years to find out whether people in london came back someone be so coffee two 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 get there from washington research coffee game here. yes probably no said drink night again tonight is basically

6:11 am
of speech or lack of it in bahrain. if you look through any pro-government newspaper in bahrain you did 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 is that if in freedom of expression of our english very high because it is guaranteed by the constitution moreover there is a law to be issued soon that further guarantees yes we have a problem related to banning so much zines but that's to protect bahrain from six here in africa problems in violence and not 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

download free broadcast radio for your media project free media zero down to r.t. dot com. welcome back to los angeles police department has in those states the largest ever manhunt after a former office attend against them the search for christopher dorner suspected of killing three people a spread to three u.s. states and lovin mexico well thousands of police officers were involved in the operation as dorner is believed to be well trained and heavily armed well facebook he posted a manifesto declaring war on the l.a.p.d. some forty people on his hit list also accusing the department of internal corruption racism and concealment of excessive force and michael if it is going to journalists and the film and a.p. the office him self says there are many skeletons in the department's close it. i don't condone what's happened and i want to violence and killing to end but more
6:16 am
important i want him to be brought into law which is something i do not think that 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 online i have to tell you that with regard to his allegations about a rich trial board hearings and. very egregious unprofessional cover up excessive force but also management mout malfeasance perjury and a lot of other serious things i believe in my hundred percent the l.a.p.d. has been shown and has a consistent cultural problem with racism cover up and cronyism within the department that has victimized i think and probably driven out a great many good officers i left for similar reasons. it appears a medal is too much to ask for according to the u.k. which is refusing its veterans russian honors moscow wants to reward british troops
6:17 am
for bravery in world war two specifically sailors who guarded critical convoys that supplied the u.s.s.r. as artie's or nuclear screw up or it's that's not something the u.k. government is willing to now. imagine doing a service to a foreign country during a time of war risking your life going through unimaginable hardship all in the name of helping an ally you imagine that country wanting to reward you with a medal of honor and then imagine your own government refused to allow you to accept that medal for rather ambiguous reasons that's precisely what's happening to 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
6:18 am
promising to soon create a medal to honor u.k. troops who participated in the arctic convoys now the convoys have delivered thousands of anti tank guns and fighter planes to the u.s.s.r. between one hundred forty one in one thousand nine hundred five the road to went from north america osland and the u.k. it's made you look simple enough on the map but it was anything but that the congo is were constantly attacked by german u. boats ships and planes and one in humans of one of the problems the convoys often filled 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 in middle of what they truly deserve or tycho wife not just from
6:19 am
a bold mothership might polish them brazen enough to may. know we were what we could we're made to do we want to do job. think that. voice i know another programmer done a good job you know mother ship might know all there were sick of metal 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 magnitude of fleets it was awarded for so there are a few zal 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 not served on the american idol when i was in shanghai and china cities but. i mean sorry they were to offer me
6:20 am
a medal what would be to their written the government's response to that. for their parts 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. of a few years ago left if a few years. and it down to meet children we grant you a minister surprise procession to may just not only bad it was but it's coming from national this will be extra special but unfortunately in their decision making process it appears the u.k. government did not consider the feelings of its country's veterans. well as members of a radical feminist group get semi naked in berlin just how far should women go to fight for a cause. would you do that maybe why not a. friend's girlfriend do it more often then american girl i think so. well this
6:21 am
week laurie half an ist to ask whether women should get naked too attracted wanted attention. a massive police raid in russia's second largest city of st petersburg has uncovered an alleged extremist group of almost three hundred people and those have been arrested after being suspected of calling for terror at inciting hatred going to russia special forces business leaders have been arriving in st petersburg in recent years to give lectures and spread extremist literature one of these lectures is among the detainees the social network page was found to contain videos of terrorist acts and addresses of extremist leaders from the north caucuses and the middle east. it could be the end of an era for a debt injury caused by a drone that's the first man blasting off into space political differences between russia and kazakhstan the last to know might stop renting baikonur to moscow.
6:22 am
tom boston has the story. they call him the first the shooter anatoly has worked at the baikonur cosmodrome in kazakhstan for fifty years he's the man who say blast off. but now he's worried about political meddling in the spaceports future as you know 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. to keep the number of heavy proton kits amount to more than a team has dropped from seventeen to twelve it's prompted behind the scenes wrangling moscow demanding reimbursement expensive launch costs to last when those
6:23 am
demands were leaked though both sides rushed to state there was no problem he will go there is no scandal no sensation there's no divorce between cause expand and russia on the subject of the baikonur cosmodrome however as russia's foreign minister pointed out there is a question mark over by canal but also it was easy 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 and continued launches from baikonur but with russia building a new cosmodrome the far east that situation won't last for ever. rising out of the center of the vast cause x. step by can always 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.
6:24 am
a radical feminist group. it's again this time don't talk this film festival to protest against you know circumcision demonstrators jumped over barriers before being caught by security guards trying to cut a lot of attention on the way so if you've got it should you flown to full course residence lori hall for this to 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 bodies 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 growth sometimes
6:25 am
too but it attracts you back. would you 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 not but 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 it was or help because. i don't know if we'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 ladies 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.

coming up in a couple of minutes it's breaking the set with haste having done so stay with us here. 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
6:27 am
the arab spring like in libya where the events in bali have created instability and 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 accidently or maybe on purpose actually feeding the roaches in your basements 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 conscious.
