an unemployed frenchman set himself on fire in front of a state job agency the nation's unemployment figures are at a thirteen year high. there's been no response from british police one week after a report revealed a shocking culture of neglect by hospital staff causing the deaths of hundreds of patients. the u.s. military wants those who carry out remote killings to take center stage by giving out battle accolades to soldiers operating american drones.

from the new center here in moscow this is r.t. with the online on screen twenty four hours a day. i'm not employed frenchman committed suicide by setting himself on fire a job center in the city of nonce the forty three year old has been refused unemployment benefits in a country which is suffering its highest jobless rate for thirteen years and none of reportedly threatened suicide but his cry for help was ignored or has the details 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 how the man did this after finding out that he is no longer eligible. well 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 burned himself 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 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 expressions of dissatisfaction. frog's meanwhile says it's unlikely to meet its target of reducing the public deficit to three percent which is the limit set by the e.u. social analyst. believes the cuts and austerity policies across europe are driving people towards desperation. suicides of this kind is just an expression of an acute social crisis greece has already experienced a rise in suicides in the past years we are trapped inside it's a vicious circle on was staring. and recession and there's and with the care and policies there's no way out and i think that this image of stability projected by

the european union or of the i.m.f. in the sense that ok greece is doing well it's it's it's not real i think that all over the european south high rates of unemployment are going to be the rule and so we're going to see a new wave of immigration outs from the european saddles the words other countries . in my country greece which have already witnessing. this kind of migration especially for young educated people greece for example has been going through a brain drain and i think that we're also seeing similar signs in other european south countries most people who are employed are facing a deterioration of the situation most of the people employed in the private sector but also in the public sector how faced are are about to face severe waits cat. the pentagon wants those fourteen u.s.

wars from a fall firmly in the spotlight defense secretary leon panetta has announced the creation of a distinguished war for medal it'll be handed out to joystick wielding drone pilots wage their battles with having food in combat zones or to. explain to my colleagues what it takes to get if you would. so you're sitting here you have a joystick and you point click and then get an award as a sleeve that's all it takes to get it to get a medal which is supposed to rank higher than the bronze medal which is given out to people who actually perform combat duty but according to the pentagon criteria i'm going to cite it here it will be recognizing a single act that directly affects the combat operation does not involve an act of valor and war incident word higher than the bronze medal so instead of having to go to the front line and risk the extreme bloody violence there you can just sit in your recliner with a joystick and maybe a couple chino for example and just wage war from about a thousand miles away i guess perhaps there is the perhaps there's

a basic knowledge of the territory somewhere in the border between afghanistan and pakistan that's involved but let's compare it just sitting around basically just sitting at a base to doing something like something that was done by sergeant william stacey in two thousand and eleven he received a bronze medal a bronze a bronze star which is considered to rank below this medal that we're talking about now what he did was receiving fire along with his squad from ten or twelve and we fighters from five separate fighting positions though outnumbered stacy in his squad held back numerous flanking attempts and accurate enemy grenades and large caliber fire he was hailed for unquestionably saving the lives of his marines this is a citation from his award citation and he actually died in combat in january of two thousand and eleven so again this man apparently did a lot less than was a person sitting at an army base and pointing a mouse and clicking on. territory somewhere in the middle east is our superstores

or bronze stars which as you say have now been running the men awarded with those they must have been praised for some very heroic deeds that the colonel but you are talking about here yes the sergeant that was in question was actually doing something on the ground right now we're talking about drone strikes we're talking about very questionable by a lot of institutions specially human rights organizations that practice of protecting the united states and the world from terrorism as the pentagon the you know you don't own drone strikes. strikes where they target someone via satellite and via this brilliant camera on the drone they never hit civilians they only hit militants right that is the official version but they even had they had to change that which was which they have been written by them i mean the american officials the pentagon officials they stuck by that rhetoric for years until i think roughly two thousand and six when they had to acknowledge that yes indeed at least at the best half of the people who are being killed by the drone strikes are actually

innocent bystanders in fact there has been a research done by various universities there was a study from from the new york university school of law as well as stanford university law school and they have said that roughly all out of those killed only two percent are actually high importance targets that is those are the only two percent of people who are being killed are known terrorists ninety eight percent happen to be whoever it is very very disturbing numbers numbers are disturbing and i'm like to go back and remind you that now people who are doing this and who are basically responsible for it are going to be awarded a medal that is going to rank higher than somebody who actually lay down his life in the line of duty. well there are no words for cyber spying in the u.s. just yet but big brother is still watching the largest defense contractor in the u.s. develop software that can predict people's behavior while using. szell networks we report on that for you in just

second anniversary of the uprising in bahrain a teenager is killed in protests two years after the unrest first broke out the pro-democracy demands of still being ignored. the picture of bad health the still no action following an independent report into hundreds of needless deaths in the u.k. hospital was on that scandal and all the stories coming up after this short break stay with us. wealthy british style. time to. market why not come to find out what's really happening to the global economy

with mike's concert for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune into kinds a report. to please be told language. full of programs and documentaries in arabic it's all here on. reporting from the world's hot spots of a p.r. p.t. interviews intriguing stories for you to. see them trying. to find out more visit our big teeth dog call. well into the. science technology innovation hall the list of elements from around russia we've got the future are covered.

my juggling job. to do hack work and get caught when lobbyists money and lawmakers are combined together that's where the problem of corruption comes from. i don't know the document's. keep up a smart look. there is also. another well behind that which is how to influence the institutions steer clear of provocations don't answer any question. came into the office and found banners hung around the office and lots of strange faces around someone and said what's what's happening will somebody please tell me what's going on and they said oh we've come to occupy your building. possibly they want to do

a confrontation possibly they wanted me to ring up the police have the police come and threw them out but it didn't seem to be a good idea to learn the european way with brussels business. in the uk risky it's one person one fold but in the brussels business it's one euro one fault. r.t. live here in moscow we turn now to our breaking news story artie's arabic sister channel reports that forty five people earlier taken hostage by an armed group in syria have been freed the majority of those released are said to be women and children who are traveling on a bus from the rest of province to syria's capital damascus will follow developments on this and of course keep you up to date. a week after shocking revelations of needless deaths in a british hospital there are still no signs of action the family and friends of

hundreds of patients who died due to neglect according for criminal action to be taken against those responsible and the former chief of another hospital says he was paid half a million pounds not to talk about a similar situation elsewhere are the sort of furthest been following the scandal. but in the latest twist we've seen an n.h.s. whistleblower come out and say that he was forced to quit after he'd raise concerns about issues that he said endangered patient safety but this latest revelation comes on the back of the francis report that we saw last week now that was looking into the scandal that happened at mit stuff which hospital where it's thought more than a thousand patients could have died between two thousand and five and two thousand and eight as a result of inhumane and degrading treatment almost no warrant food stuff and hospital in september of two cents to date it's just a disaster people you know to be perfectly honest they're looking for one of. those

that was left and you're. going to police the shoes on the floor we've been there since breakfast time before that's the only way to describe the look. in the home still seems. to be she had to go through what she went through the n.h.s. whistleblower he says that he was confronted with many of the same decisions and concerns that were raised at mit started to hospital now he was the head of one of the hospitals a united lincolnshire hospital he was facing many of the same problems he claims that government targets that he refused to meet for fear that it would endanger patient safety meant that he then had to quit and was subject to a so-called secret gag to keep him quiet of the whistleblower has spoken out gary walker talked of a culture of fear and oppression and certainly it seems that

a lot of these problems have been going on many many years now i'm joined by the head one of the members of the n.h. a political party know your political party that's been formed people within the health care profession and they're all very concerned about what's happening. in the n.h.s. right now when the mid staffordshire scandal was revealed very much the rhetoric from the government was that this was an exceptional case that this was it not a one of it was particularly bad and yet we're seeing one of the hospitals being investigated and it seems that nothing shocks just keep on coming east surprised at this no i'm not surprised at this wild stuff the trip was particularly bad there have always been in the n.h.s. while most of the current been fantastic over the years in such a complicated organization and such a large organization there will be such incidents that have been for many years the real problem is that the n.h.s.

and the government do not seem to be able to learn from the old inquiries that of being from thirty years ago the hospital advisory service would report and i think the same things are still going on now because the chief executive of the n.h.s. david nicholson to resign have so far been resisted he says that he has nothing to be as saying dog and that during his time providing this is down to systematic failures so of course the people who are campaigning have been calling very hard for his resignation and saved by he has resisted that rule sewer keep updated online with more stories and videos that are common here's what's waiting for you at the moment. real torture doesn't mean just physical pain find out of arties website how arabic prisoners at guantanamo were driven out of their minds by the constant playing of

heavy metal. plus canadian law enforcers allegedly use their power against those they're meant to protect an investigation claims some missing and abused indigenous girls and women were raped by mounted police more on that on a website. a teenager has reportedly been killed in clashes between police and protesters in bahrain like libya the gulf state is marking two years since the start of its own uprising the demonstrators say the demands to end discrimination and release all political prisoners have not been met london based bahraini activists activist dominic says that despite attempts to hold talks nothing is being done. we're looking at two years in which we've seen no reform we've seen nothing change i mean we started this uprising two years ago and on that day the first martyr of the

uprising was killed and now two years later on the same day the fourteenth of february another teenager has been killed and this really shows and displays the lack of reform the continuous human rights abuses the continuous repression taking place on the streets of basra and it's good the dialogue has come back on the agenda and there is discussions happening but it seems that you know this latest latest escalation of the security against the people is going to possibly put dine in jeopardy within the ruling family i think of course there are those who simply want to please the international community to say look we're having this dialogue there is not a great thing was continuing the violations on the streets people have come out on the streets time and time again saying they won't go out they simply do not go home until this reform and i think the fact that they stayed out for two years clearly proves that. the only solution is through dialogue going to has to realize that. big brother may be watching every click you make online the u.s. government's using new defense software able to predict your future behavior and

locations in cyberspace however with the program only using data submitted voluntarily social networks claims of privacy violations don't stick because nobody's got to can reports. 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 someone already branded it for spice it's 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 embedded in them so this ride program 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 is communicating with who inside this country so that your entire social network of everybody of every us citizen was being compiled. over time so they're taking in from one company alone or roughly three hundred twenty million records a day. that's over time that probably cumulated up to close to twenty trillion over the years mr binney blow the whistle on this n.s.a. program saying it is a blatant violation of the constitution but with this right 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 try 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 up location services on your phone or maybe you don't want that in that case no worries. some

and ethnic reprisal killings allegations of atrocities of emerge following the rapid advance of french forces across the vast northern areas of the war torn nation journalist gonzalo want to reports now for r.t. from the morning capital. money yes because if you've got a good time in the united nations already describes the situation in mali is a disaster. the un 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 and 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 us passage saying it was for our own security at the un high commissioner for human rights not be belayed 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 is aggravated by ethnic clashes an artsy camera crew witnessed instances of vegas accuses and brutality perpetrated by the mali an army and survive. the military are not the only ones and gauged in hunting down people of arab or quarry origin or 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 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 it's 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

there's the mali now to bring us up to date for the moment i'll be back with a news team with more than just of the whole phenomenon in the meantime in a couple of minutes a unique take on the world financial headlines with next kaiser and the cause report. 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 residents of the good old usa can get in on the fun houston residents in terror called nine one one and scrambled for cover and even to schools put on lockdown as

the military helicopters participated in a multi-agency training thrill in miami at night in the middle of downtown onlookers caught video on their telephones of blackhawk helicopters pumping loud blank on to the people below and maybe even as i speak a flexibly scheduled military drill could be happening in jesper county south carolina you know when i was a kid they tell us about how that you. would parade their tanks around how there were soldiers all over their oppressed country even in one thousand nine hundred four or will meet in a point to describe our military helicopters would eternally be overhead and a dystopian nightmare world now we're living the nightmare the united states is a huge country there's plenty of room on remote army bases to do your training also last time i checked afghanistan you don't look like downtown miami just who are you training to kill anyways knock off the terror training but that's just my opinion.

welcome to the kaiser report i max kaiser if you need to ask what exactly is in your ready mail chances are you don't really want to know. if you need to ask what is in your mortgage backed security chances are you don't really want to know i mean do you really want to know that there is a boot laced horsemeat in your c.d.o. infinitely re hypothecated m.f. global debt in your burger or is that the other way around it's so hard to keep track with all these conflicting statements from the f s a's stacy exactly max every single night on the news here there's a problem that the f.s.a. was supposed to be responsible for and of course that's because there's the financial services authority and the food standards.
