and implored freydon trying to confiscate blindfold by setting himself on fire continuing a deadly trend of this brazen driven self-immolation is across europe i mean daily it depicts the guai drugs crisis. to throw comes clean about the death of a top secret prison after the media reveals it was false to keep sun and with the water coming from the country's very large. and locking up enormous civilian casualties with its war on terror drone program about to get around as a brand new medal for those at the remote joysticks of the death machine.

international news live from moscow this is o.t. with me thanks for joining us. and ultimately destroy a man has died after setting fire to himself at a french drug center is the latest self-immolation incident and unemployment plagued hugh the forty three year old who'd been refused benefits had reportedly been given signals of pesos sidle intentions but they went unnoticed by the authorities more details now from his tests on c n. 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 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 front so 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 had just burgess self and also those young people who had 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 eurozone countries because of this eurozone crisis there's a general feeling of a still be 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 expressions of dissatisfaction. meanwhile there's been a dramatic growth in the gap between rich and poor in the u.k. this dark figures revealed by a british thing 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 matthew with take it seemed economist had the resolution foundation as it's all 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 during the growth years of the two thousands incomes and earnings within that group were already stuck meeting they were flat lining if not falling when the reality is 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 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 service admission follows the reporting there was trying to impress which prevailed and melbourne man hound him self in prison after months of being held in secret for over two years ago. while now details were given as to why he was being held it's reported prison x. was involved in an israeli astronaut in neighboring countries the story had been originally hashed up and these really media what they would have reporting to coming from the very top and columnist and senior correspondent for israel's haaretz newspaper here or and says the entire situation is a source of embarrassment to 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 it's 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 defer 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. four police officers have been killed and six more injured in an explosion in russia's south of republic of dagestan in the morning a suicide bomber blew himself up at a checkpoint while his car was being searched the police presence has been stepped up in the region with authorities currently trying to corner a group of militants allegedly behind the tower act or vehicles going to and from the city of course of your where the incident occurred are being tracked now and russia's interior ministry says the fact security forces stopped the suspect's vehicle prevented an even greater tragedy among civilians the incident happened just a week after special services and august on killed the last remaining terrorist involved in the twenty ton bombing of the moscow metro that left the night that. they may be known as the faceless killers of modern warfare but it seems the u.s. military wants them firmly in the spotlight defense secretary leon panetta has

announced the creation of the distinguished medal which will be handed out joystick will doing drawn pilots who wage their battles far from the front line and to find out more now i'm joined here in the studio by. so what is it american servicemen have to do to win one of those well basically to be frank the american servicemen has to do very little other than sit around in the chair and point mouse click and then direct the drone of the. satellite to voice that was supposed to hit with a drone but really it's it's an award which is supposed to reward a military act in a military operation which does not involved in act of valor it will be a ranking of all the bronze star but will be below a silver star both of these of course are given for who are action in combat this medal by the way you can see it right here is actually not even that hasn't come

out yet it's just something that's in the making however. it will be given out to two pilots of drones again people who sit around in and in various locations around the world mostly in the united states and basically use computers to direct those very drones now above the effectiveness off the entire drone warfare of course there have been a lot of questions about it there have been numerous studies performed there is one which was conducted by the stanford school of law as well as the new york university school of law and that study after afterwards has called for the reevaluation of the practice because in their report they said that the number of high level targets that is of actual people who have been who have been identified as potentially highly dangerous terrorists that number is actually just two percent of elation to the total number of casualties and the number of total casualties has been put somewhere between two and a half thousand and three three point three thousand people from the day one of the

drone attacks over the course of eight years between two thousand and two and two thousand and twelve now of course there's. a lot of controversy surrounding the drone strikes and you have to understand that ironically the number of deaths which have occurred during the obama administration actually according again to rough estimates is more than four times what it was during the bush administration so again this will be a medal which will be awarded to pilots of the drones were essentially killing people and places like pakistan like a pakistani tribal areas between pakistan and afghanistan and there's very little information about who they are actually killing but still people behind in the middle which will be ranking higher than that than the metalled wish would be given to a person who has actually committed an act of terrorism in combat. and the situation with the new medal i see arena thank you very much indeed for that update very interesting indeed it is. being on the un says

molly 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've been helping the unelected government of mali reclaim sitter's captured by islamic militants and journalist good solid want to reports now from the war zone for assy. she brought him money yes. the united nations already describes the situation in mali as 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 because of that however some of the key areas in this conflict are still off limits to international journalists with the french army denying

a spastic saying it was for our own security the u.n. high commissioner for human rights not people a made it plain in a recent statement that the situation in mali is only deteriorated following the foreign military intervention you know that that the insurgency in mali's aggravated by ethnic clashes. camera crew witnessed instances of beggars exclusions and brutality perpetrated by the mali an army and survive. the military are not the only ones in gage's and hunting down people look at arable quora origin or believed to be part of the insurgency and eventually 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 and 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 as 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. and on the way this hour the pirates on the caribbean over the government as well the legal controversy. sees it as a time when island state reaches for millions of dollars worth of material. to make a profit the launches defense contract saying that you asked about it so flat that can predict people's future behavior from the social network data sparking a fresh wave of piracy privacy concerns i should say this report tries to. wealthy british style. tirelessly.

markets why not. come to. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike stronger for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines join into a report. this

is the welcome back the u.s. government stepping up efforts to spy on its citizens with a new defense software able to predict people speech or behavior and locations however with the program only using data submitted voluntarily via social networks the authorities emerge unscathed when it comes to claims of privacy violations and she's going to check out how small for us. 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 google 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 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 today and longitude details automatically imbedded 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 cyber space that reminds me of the conversation that i had with william binney a mathematician a spy 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 they're building social networks is part of it take a listen they were building social networks. who who's 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 or 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 seeing it as a blatant violation of the constitution but with this writing of software one can argue that they use the 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 truth 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 so we can leaks founder julian bond is completed step towards those trillion senate by submitting an application to enroll in elections just fine still being holed up inside the ecuadorian embassy in london so when the details on our website. on the world's second most powerful i spoke illegal looks set to expand towards the mediterranean and may soon even include

a team from italy i don't know what european cities are in line to join the k. trial i challenge you don't. count or has confirmed it's hundred series embassy in the capital doe had to the sea were in opposition which has already appointed an ambassador the building had been closed about a year ago as the gulf nation was among the first to recognize the cedar a national coalition and political activist yes one of douglas 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 it's since it was formed we know that they want 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 qatar 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. a teenager 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 calling for an end to reconciliation talks between the country's opposition on the sunni rulers in twenty eleven the country's gets responded to calls for change and joined the arab spring

a ruling by they world trade organization the twin island state is now moving to waive twenty one million dollars worth of coal point protection in american goods yeah and some say the case has created a dangerous precedent for piracy as well she's nice to see our polls. 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 want to say as a las 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 the other casinos but in even more powerful money maker here the mere decade ago was the online gaming business we once had a thriving. internet gaming industry and to get that 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 was completely legal in an america season 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 persons who had companies operating companies that actually go on these for us and some of them were indicted and arrested and who had their property and for seniors 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 antigua he wants to remain anonymous.

but it really brought. on the forms or. literally hundreds of bodies stolen from the woods williams. the island nation has had enough and has put a fight at the world true. 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 trade more 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 spends a million giants we have helped to play first actually wiping out the second largest source of a good team in economy i'm sure that the dispute between american mentee go frightens many locals 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 isn't it's not going to hurt the u.s. economy that much as it would just in the going to be no. but there's also will take some action against it though 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. 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 until the end barbuda in the caribbean. and in just a couple of minutes the unique take on the world's financial headlines that marks kaiser and because there. are helicopters flying through the air day and night rounds of assault rifle ammo popping as the choppers buzz over the land now this unique form of hell of terror is no longer restricted to those in vietnam in the middle east now houston miami
