9:07 am
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 representatives took to twitter to ask where they could apply for such a nice recent 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 morale is already rock bottom amongst police officers going rises because of this tax 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
9:08 am
that the coffee they have will be heavily subsidized by the taxpayers 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. going so i'll just go somewhere so research coffee game here. yeah probably no so i said drinks night again tonight is basically a kick from the boy that was just being ridiculous and advertisers should be ashamed of themselves for doing so that shows just how out of touch the politicians are with the problems of ordinary briggs and of course not critics saying that with austerity measures we buy things for a lot of people in the u.k. and politicians have made with a capsule of boiling water and some instant coffee just ahead for you this too

three. three. three. video for your media project free media r t dot com. welcome back. may be popping the champagne corks to celebrate an historic budget deal but it now looks like the european parliament may spoil the party pays have the final say on whether the first ever cut the union spending goes through and could eventually block it they're planning a secret vote on the budget and then what's seen as a revolt against even the economist james medway says the budget may yet be sunk by
9:11 am
the parliament. constitutionally they're 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 present you politick to said he won't be able to support the steel and the head of one of the major groups in the parliament or the socialist group said there are likely to be supported so it's going to be a rocky ride i 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 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 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 discloses over the fact
9:12 am
of course that he would have got anywhere in this without the support of the angle of merkel in particular so he can we 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 the maybe claiming victory in brussels but domestically what he was refusing to go away mr gates into rate fixing at banks in britain is expanding revelations over just how widespread the practice was revelations that have left them a tease max keiser exasperated. i'm going to order the word for today 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 gov would give a flying head about their own population i would imagine the t word but i don't

9:14 am
and any massive discrediting of the way in which they operate i think there are signs that this could easily disintegrate into some kind of civil war hopefully it won't happen and we remain to watch to see how the popular move organize to prevent this one of those frightening thing used in iraq to external support for example by the qatari government of the right wing fundamentalists and it remains to be seen whether we've got the. will take any action against these terrorist groups. and bahrain approaches the second anniversary of the beginning of the protests the government and the opposition have finally agreed to resume dialogue but chances for ending political deadlock in the gulf kingdom are slim but the opposition is clearly not trusting authorities for months of persecution ati's alexia looks into how dissent is being gagged in the country if you look through
9:15 am
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 lot 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 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

a foreign government honor their service in the greatest war of water 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 say but. let me tell you they were to offer me a medal what would be to their written the government's response to the. 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 they have the if a few years. and it down to meet children we grant you i mean surprise possession to me just not only bad it was coming from russia this will be extra special but unfortunately in their decision making process it appears
