program now and ultimate al bust of desperation a man has died after setting fire to himself at a french job center is the largest and latest self-immolation incident in unemployment plagued the forty three year old who's been refused the benefits had reportedly been giving signals of his suicidal intentions but they went unnoticed by the also where she's more details now from sassy. it said it reports that he had actually set a letter to some journalists saying that he was going to do this this week so the police had said that they had set of surveillance outside that employment agency but they didn't manage to see him he was already on fire they said he had entered through a side street and therefore this tragedy had happened now the man did this after finding out that he is no longer eligible for those unemployment benefits and this is not the first time it has happened in france in august we know that a fifty year old jobless man had done the same and this is a worrying sign for france for a country that has seen its unemployment rising for the past twenty months and this

after a president had been elected on a campaign of jobs and growth so we haven't seen any improvements on this monster a lot has declared twenty thirteen as a battle for jobs he said that by the end of the year there would be he would be creating jobs for the french people however statistics show that by midyear the number is set to rise and let's not forget that more than three million french people this number does not include people who have quit the unemployment program because they simply have exhausted all their benefits similar to the case of the man who were just burgess self and also those young people who have never registered or those who are in part time jobs if we look at the trend we've seen a lot of suicides and attempted suicides in countries like greece one of the hardest hit euro zone countries because of this eurozone crisis there's a general feeling of a still in the country a lot of people going out in protest we've also heard of stories of suicides in italy another hard hit country so if we're looking at the trend that's happening in

europe we hope it does not continue but we could see a lot more of expressions of dissatisfaction. meanwhile there's been a dramatic growth in the gap between rich and poor in the u.k. the stark figures revealed by a british think tank also warned that families are likely to endure at least fifteen years of squeezed incomes until living standards recover to pre-crisis levels and last year with taka seen a columnist at the resolution foundation says it's not going to get better anytime soon but we're seeing at the moment is that there's a squeeze on living standards which is affecting households throughout the entire income distribution and that's mainly a result of the recession and austerity policies but actually for a very sizable group around about ten million adults who live in low to middle income households and that squeeze actually started sometime before so even join the growth years of the two thousands incomes and earnings within that group were already stagnating they were flat lining if not falling in the realities now of life from low to middle income is that day to day pressures become much more of

a struggle than they used to be so we know that two thirds of the group struggle to meet household bills and debt repayments more than half have no savings two thirds have no pension savings failing to do anything in this and ending up with family and households who have no increase in their in their living standards in their innings first of all social problems because it's a very large group to be in that situation but also it's an economic problem because because this group are also consumers so they are one of the drivers of economic growth and so what we what we now expect to see is that yes g.d.p. growth may return but that's not necessarily going to be enough to actually recover the position of the of these ten million. israeli government has been forced to admit about the death of a man in custody dubbed prisoner x. who was linked to the country's secret savitz admission follows a report in the australian press which revealed a malbon man hunting south in prison after months of being held in secret over two years ago while noting his house was given as to why he was being held it's

reported prisoner x. was involved in israeli astronaut in neighboring countries the story had been a ritually hushed up in the israeli media but that would have reportedly coming from the very top and columnist and senior correspondent for israel's ha'aretz newspaper army or in serving time says he is a source of embarrassment for the country on one level it's an espionage story and mystery regarding the foreign intelligence service mossad and the tragic. circumstances under which one of its operatives apparently found his death on another level. government versus press story and the press here has been struggling against various government agencies and gradually has been able to leave at least some of the secrecy surrounding this story there was a gag order here apparently and the for this was the case and one cannot confirm it

independently from israel but again embarrassing as it is one has to rely on foreign sources if that is true and a gag order was signed by a judge then one would have been subject to prosecution if one were to violate it so apparently even though the israeli press is far from being lazy for the last two years it has waited passively for someone abroad in this case australia to break the story. and we're getting reports now of fourth policeman injured during an explosion of russia's southern republic of dagestan has died at hospital and early in the morning a suicide bomber blew himself up at a row checkpoint while his car was being searched three police officers died instantly in the blast the police presence has been stepped up in the region with authorities looking for those behind that time all vehicles going to and from the city of her said you are where the incident occurred are being tracked now russia's

interior ministry says the fact security forces stop the suspect's vehicle has prevented an even greater tragedy among civilians these didn't happen just a week after special services killed the last remaining terrorist involved in the twenty ten bombing of the moscow metro that left searching the internet. the u.n. says mali risked being dragged into further violence and reprisal killings fresh allegations of atrocities in the embattled west african country have emerged following the rapid advance of french intervention forces they have been helping the elected government of mali reclaim cities captured by islamic militants and journalist gonzalo one show reports now from the walls on forty. to buy him money yes. the united nations already describes the situation in mali is a disaster the u.n. human rights commission says the country's caught in a spiral of violence fraught with grievous consequences the situation has been made

worse in the wake of ferocious fighting in and around the city of northern mali following four days of fierce resistance from insurgents complete with suicide attacks the french military has been forced to conclude that some of the locals made an extremist that however some of the key areas in this conflict are still off limits to international journalists with the french army denying us passage saying it was for our own security the u.n. high commissioner for human rights not the palais made it plain in a recent statement that the situation in mali is only deteriorated following the foreign military intervention you know that the insurgency in mali's aggravated by ethnic clashes an artsy camera crew witnessed instances of vegs accuses him brutality perpetrated by the mali an army and survive. the military are not the only ones in gage's and hunting down people of arable quarry origin who are believed to be part of the insurgency and even the locals are going after them as

well and for some time it has been difficult to find people from either of those ethnic groups anywhere in mali this brings us back to the fact that more than three hundred thirty thousand people have been forced to flee from their homes because of the crisis the last straw for all those refugees and indeed for all of mali has been a statement by al qaida coming out of the arabian peninsula which calls upon every muslim to join the holy war against france a war that is being fought in mali against the will of its people. mali are. they may be known as the faceless killers of modern warfare but it seems the u.s. military wants to give them firmly in the spotlight defense secretary leon panetta has announced the creation of the distinguished medal which will be handed out to a joystick world intro pilots who wage their battles far from the front line so to find out more about i'm not joined live here in the studio by. you know very nice

to have you here in the studio so what does an american serviceman have to do in order to get it well basically an american serviceman that he's the he's a drone pilot the man who says they're in operate the drone all he says he has to do is just to sit somewhere at a base seven of those bases are located in the united states and then several are lucky to have broad he basically has to sit in his seat and guide the drone and that is about it that's it the extent of accomplishment now there is a point being made about this new medal which is going to come out and that is it is going to be given for active duty which does not involve valor so i guess they're being somewhat fair there however this medal will be ranking a ball of the bronze star which is usually given for accomplishments given for accomplishments made in combat duty this however is a totally different case again it's given to the pilots of drones who are sitting at the base at their station and don't really perform anything other than guide the

missiles on to locations. to which they're being told to drive the drone now about the drone strikes somewhat questionable endeavor a lot of people are saying due to the fact that these are highly lethal flying machines and the people they're killing of course they're not always militants that is of course for chording to various research for for every. for every ten or so militants there are hundreds of innocent bystanders being killed in fact there is information from there's a study from the columbia law school of human rights which says that ninety eight percent of drone strikes are essentially ineffective because ninety eight percent of the drone strikes are killing civilians instead of killing militants and there is also further research was goes along to point out the fact that the the effectiveness of the drone strikes when it comes to fighting terrorists abroad their main idea is actually highly questionable they do seem to kill more people in

territories like the tribal areas between pakistan and afghanistan rather than actual terrorists but apparently there will be no medal awarded for the people who are distantly killing people on the ground i say arena thank you very much indeed for your insight and we'll be talking to you later on the matter thank you very much. and on the way pirates of the caravan all the gondolas robin heard and they go call it in stews or any twit on and state or interest for millions of dollars worth of american corporate for tiro this report as trust. killing make it without any federal.

thank. you.

you're watching also he welcome back the u.s. government stepping up efforts to spawn its citizens with a new defined software able to predict people's future behavior and locations however with their program only using data submitted voluntarily or via social networks so what is imagine escaped when it comes to claims of privacy violations is going to check on has the details. those of you who are using social networks will find this interesting the world's fifth largest defense contractor raytheon a multinational firm based in massachusetts came up with a software that can map out your life and be able to predict your moves your behavior based on the information that you provide on websites like facebook twitter or foursquare the guardian has obtained a video. where a raytheon staffer explains and shows how it works the program is called it someone

already branded it for spice just a few clicks and it creates diagrams charts maps showing who you've communicated with most online your associations and relationships places where you check in most you know over twenty five million people who use this app called foursquare to alert friends of their whereabouts so the program uses that and also the photos that people take on smartphones often have led to tootin longitude details automatically embedded in them so this riot program at a quick or two can analyze all that data and as the gentleman in the video claims it can roughly predict where to find you at a given time and potentially your behavior based on your interests so this firm that developed the software a major defense contractor has acknowledged that the technology was shared with the u.s. government as part of a joint research and development effort to help build the national security system capable of analyzing quote unquote trillions of entities from cyberspace that

reminds me of the conversation that i had with william binney a mathematician aspiring software expert who had worked for the national security agency for decades and who told us that the government is spying on people on a much larger scale and the building social networks is part of it take a listen they were building social networks. who who is communicating and with whom inside this country so that your entire social network of everybody of every us citizen was being compiled. over time so they're taking from one company alone a roughly three hundred twenty million records a day that's over time that that's probably cumulated up to close to twenty trillion over the years mr binney blew the whistle on this n.s.a. program saying it is a blatant violation of the constitution but with this riot software one can argue that they can see information that individuals have already chosen to make public they put it out there and most people know that privacy safeguards that for example facebook provides don't hold water really and yet people choose to share so if you

don't want someone to be able to map out your entire life and to be able to potentially predict your behavior stop checking in everywhere and turn off location services on your phone or maybe you don't want that in that case no worries. right now it's time for a quick look at some of the content waiting for you on our web site and here are some of the stories waiting there for you right now we can make fun that song. step towards the australian senate by submitting an application to avoid elections this point still be holed up inside the ecuadorian embassy in london to have the details on our website. while second most powerful ice hockey league on towards the mediterranean and may soon even include a team from easily which european cities are in line to draw and take a child at all.

council has confirmed its hundred seawards embassy in the congress to the syrian opposition which has already appointed an ambassador they boating has been closed about a year ago as the gulf nation was among the first to recognize the sea where a national coalition and political activist. says the move however will not make much difference. it's not an addition to the political weight of the syrian national coalition in my view this is a this is primarily a crime primarily to reinject some life into the syrian national coalition

especially after the several blows that it received there since since it was formed we know that they wanted to overthrow the regime they couldn't so far they wanted to achieve some liberated lands and more than in northern syria and they didn't so far and they also wanted to form a transitional government on syrian soil and they're meeting in the us it's the moon recently failed in doing so so i think i think this movement by by qatar especially that us government considers itself the main backer of the syrian national coalition because it was its own project so it's its line mask and we inject some life into it after after the deficiencies that. one person has reportedly been killed in bahrain after clashes between police and protesters demonstrators there have also set up roadblocks on the second anniversary of the country's anti regime uprising the crowds included people

inauguration postponed indefinitely due to his health problems. the u.s. is on the legal defense against the tiny caribbean nation of until and but buddha thanks to a ruling by the world trade organization the twin island state is now moving to waive twenty one million dollars worth of corp right protection on american goods per year and some say the case has created a dangerous precedent for piracy as a he's a nice to sit there with holds. heavenly spot in the caribbean welcome to antigua and barbuda a tiny country with a population of under ninety thousand people. gambling is a popular pastime here for locals and tourists alike i won't say as a last vegas of the caribbean because i mean they have a lot of caribbean countries that pacino as well i should say were sometimes a stepping stone ahead of a lot of other casinos but an even more powerful money maker here

a mere decade ago was the online gaming business we once had a thriving. internet gaming industry and to get employed over four thousand people that industry has gone juta actions of the united states legally licensed internet gambling companies provided jobs for five percent of the locals and rocketed in over three billion dollars annually but with americans as the key players u.s. officials weren't happy and bad offshore gaming even though the industry is completely legal in america sneezes the rest of the world catches the cold. from thousands of jobs and tremendous cash inflow to an industry crumbled and those who make it up treated as criminals they were prosecution of a person who had companies operating companies eventually go and this person some of whom were indicted and arrested and who had their property for. the potential targets people like this online gambling operator fearful of what the u.s.

can do to him because of his business legally licensed in and he wants to remain anonymous. forms or. stolen from. williams. the island nation has had enough and has put a fight at the world trade organization for its legal rights money and regaining a collapsed industry it's been going on for a decade. and we think it's time to bring the plane into the w t o took the side of the tiny country in a decision that ruffled the feathers of the u.s. the world trade organization and he has the right to basically grab the assets of the united states including in particular copyrights trademarks patents

so they can sell microsoft word for a dollar each the w t o decision allows and t. get to completely ignore us copyright laws until the money loss due to the online gaming collapse is made up for but limited to twenty one million dollars a year the u.s. concern now is that the w t o has potentially laid out a welcome mat for the forthcoming pirates of the caribbean but the tiny island nation says the bullying giants may have helped to play first actually wiping out the second largest source of the a team in economy i'm sure the dispute between american mentee go frightens many moguls because of what may come next they won't talk about it on camera but for tourists the slap in the face of the u.s. is all the gossip that kind of money it is and it's not going to hurt the u.s. economy that much as it was different in the going to be no. but. it will take some action against it as well while until going to have won a battle at the w t o there is still a long fight ahead the first time that

a small country took on a war country in the world trade organization. and it was it's kind of you know a bad thing that the united states is just ignoring you know the ball is now in the court of this little island while the copyright left is now an official option to cash in on and to go hopes it might be able to negotiate a deal with the u.s. that is good for all before all ships have sailed and r.t. reporting from mt gun barbuda in the caribbean. next of the gun control debate in america again is and they cost the state isn't it.
