the leader of the sort of face of their movement he often now fails to see eye to eye with fellow activists most recently at a funeral of another activist scuffles broke out between about so and fellow protesters because they were so upset he was trying to use the funeral as a p r platform take a look at the scuffles now he's under house arrest but being arrested has really become somewhat of. a if you could say he's been taken into jail without detention twelve times in the last twelve months will now see how being under house arrest for those travel restrictions and the violations plays out. of course we'll be keeping a close watch on the story on line so head over to argy dot com to learn if the latest arrest could perhaps be a signal for the russian opposition to race itself for further tensions with the government. tens of thousands of people have marched through cities in ireland in a massive show of anger against severe austerity measures tough cuts were implemented

the budget or already present the e.u. parliament to said it would be able to support the steel and the heads of one of the major groups in the parliament the socialist group said there are likely to be support it so it can be a rocky ride i think this budget over the next few months cameron's right to 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 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 this glosses over the fact of course that he wouldn't have got anywhere in this without the support of angular merkel in particular so he can even 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

public gatherings several weeks later he was arrested again the editor in chief of bahrain's only independent newspaper says this is how things are in his country if you speak out if you express yourself you are expressing yourself at your own risks people are brave enough now to speak out but they do that and they could be punished one day you could be put in jail you could end up like a builder job three years because if you tweeted something social networking came of age during the uprisings of recent years a fact not lost on bahrain's leaders who have watched almost daily street protests and an unusual drop in web traffic through the country picked up by an american internet morning tour leaves human rights activists here wondering exactly who the constitutional right to expression really applies to alexi russia of ski r.t. reporting from the kingdom of bahrain. let's get

a tourist activists were stated to staging a topless protest against female circumcision but police acted quickly to remove the half naked women from the venue or to his lawyer harford as has been quizzing some in new york to find out if they would be ready to bare it all for a good cause. 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 legal it's still private. but don't you think that would draw a lot of attention to the cause yeah but then again you know the track strong growth sometimes to what it attracts you they're. going to say. would you
4:26 pm
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 good but do you think french girls would do it more often than american girls i think so why is that what's wrong with a 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 isn't that what protesting is all about. let them all a do the bottom line is going topless is a surefire 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.

that's a furry this evening but coming up after a short break it's a cause to report here on our team stay with us. saudi arabia has ordered its retailers to construct one point six meter tall barriers in the middle of their stores a rather unusual demand is that something related to everyone's favorite buzzword terrorism no it is to keep male and female coworkers separate saudi arabia is pretty infamous in the west for its laws regarding the sexes and their segregation
4:28 pm
activists always want to go to other countries to convince them to adopt western attitudes that deep down in their hearts they secretly want but often they miss things like the fact that it was saudi women who ask for the segregation feeling uncomfortable while buying products from men according to a.f.p. you know some people in countries like saudi arabia or north korea might actually like living a radically different lifestyle and even if they don't like living that way well it is their job to fix it not by some sort of western intervention when i want to live in either of those countries not really do i want to live in a country with the saudi arabian concept of gender not really but part of having freedom of choice means being able to choose things that i may think are backwards or illogical you know let them have the walls in the stores if they want western civilization you know if it's truly the end all of human evolution then they'll take those walls down eventually on their own but that's just my opinion.
4:29 pm
welcome to the kaiser report i max kaiser oh what a wicked web we weave when first we practice to deceive that there. walter scott about the global derivative markets natch or at least he could have the deception at the heart of the derivatives market is of course that risk can be separated from reward and once removed this risk can be disappeared like so many bearded men and little children in the war on terror who've gone sad disappeared oh tooth zap gone disappeared out but the first law of thermal derivatives says that risk can only be managed never destroyed and so because of this practice to deceive we have a wicked web of.
