as. you was told the struggles to remove the rivers of oil from its streets pipelines fuse more than ten thousand barrels of crude. death in custody in the west bank as sounds the alarm over the death of a palestinian prisoner held in israel. turned a blind eye to his worsening health. unjust and reasonable the u.k. government is on with the widely criticized housing benefit cuts leaving millions with a spare room at home out of pocket. it's two pm here in moscow you're watching r t a live with me to bomb would say it's

good to have your company with us. the streets of a u.s. town in the stage of ak and so have been diluted by eva ten thousand barrels of crude oil a maximum or wild. around two dozens of homes have been evacuated with some residents of fools to stay away for several more days while the cleanup operation continues washington correspondent damage as you can has the details. exxon mobil is naturally trying to downplay environmental concerns they're not saying exactly how much oil spilled onto the streets of that neighborhood in arkansas but the company says it has already collected more than twelve thousand barrels of oil mixed with water from the affected area not clear how much of it was water the twenty two homes were evacuated as they're still cleaning up the pipeline that was carrying canadian heavy crude to the south of the u.s. to the country's gulf coast refineries this latest spill response from critics of the proposed keystone x.l. pipeline the keystone x.l.

pipeline would carry eight hundred thousand barrels per day just to compare the pipe that leaked in arkansas can carry around ninety thousand barrels a day so the consequences of a leak could be devastating the keystone pipeline would also carry canadian heavy crude to us refineries in the selfe the project doesn't have the final green light from the administration just yet but the oil giant involved or pushing the administration very hard to go ahead with that saying it will bring down fuel costs in the u.s. trans canada first keystone line was spilled a dozen times just in its first year of operation the company of course says the new keystone x.l. will be so much better but people know from experience how devastating consequences of an oil spill can be and how hard it is to clean up this is certainly not the first incident of course everyone remembers the disaster in the gulf of mexico in twenty ten when after an explosion and he had been leaking oil on the ocean floor

for several months before. the well was capped an estimated four point nine million barrels of oil had leak into the gulf three years later the call is still not one of three in july twenty third in the pipeline but more than twenty thousand barrels of comedians are sans crude oil into the michigan waterway so this happens all the time just last week the government suggested exxon mobil pay a fine of one point seven million dollars over pipeline safety violations and that was for an oil spill two years ago in the yellowstone river in montana exxon has a month to contest the violations many believe that oil giants get away with violations like that all too often in the west and all it takes is a team of really good lawyers to do that which the company certainly and at the end of the day it's the people of good will pick up the slack in washington i'm going to check. this latest oil spill in a small u.s.

town that has a once again raise questions about the dangers of using older plant blinds to transport increasingly large amounts of oil across the continent let's take a look at america's oil transit infrastructure now more than a half of the nation's pipelines were built in the one nine hundred fifty s. in the one nine hundred sixty s. according to the u.s. that department of transportation's like the pegasus oil pipeline which brazil where construction even earlier soon after world war two billions of dollars worth of oil flows through these pipelines every year now in twenty eleven of the big of five oil companies exxon more wall royal dutch shell b.p. conoco phillips and chevron had a combined revenue of nearly two trillion dollars a congressional report pointed turnover at more than ten percent of the country's g.d.p. but despite huge profits the government and the corporations it seems reluctant to update the pump line infrastructure environmental consultant richard simon says the

i can supply blind is among those which have long pause their sell by date. there's no excuse whatsoever for oil pipelines to be anything over thirty years old or general design life is maybe twenty to thirty years there's been several still knows about six or seven of this heavy diluted bit timid it's called dil bit which is the tar sand the oil which is so thick it can't be transported through a pipeline unless it's cut with condensate and benzene exxon has shown time and time again that they are not willing to accept responsibility legitimate financial responsibility for their actions however negligent they are they got out of the alaska spill with you know about a billion dollars paid to private thirty thousand private litigants that should have been by many of their estimations much much more than that so they have a history of short changing responses right let's make sure you log on to our

website at r c dot com to let us know what actions it should be taken to following the massive oil spill in the small uis town now let's take a look at the watch view was saying about this a safe law right on our website right now at our t. dot com a you are saying this thirty two percent of us say u.s. government should be held accountable for the spill while twenty four percent of you say keystone x.l. project should be stopped twenty one percent of the things that compensation offered a but no changes to project one only three percent of you say projects as should be halted for pipeline construction is trying to head to r.t. dot com to tell us what you think about this story and many of us.

officials in the west bank are raising the alarm over the death of a palestinian prisoners held by israel they claim the death of. a result of medical negligence with israel refusing to release him despite to his deteriorating help let's get more on those up from our team that you're not going to school board live now from a television remote what all of the implications of is death. well basically you have to understand that we're talking about a sixty four year old man who has been in custody for more than ten years he started feeling ill last summer and he has asked the authorities for checkups but they basically have done those but never told him exactly what was happening and even though the man was obviously lost more than fifteen kilos in less than two

months they still kept him in the dark as well as his family until they've told him just in march of this year that he basically had terminal cancer and literally had to live now of course this is something that left a lot of palestinians incredibly angry in fact we are we can expect protests throughout several cities of palestinian authority but we do know at this point that in several israeli jails palestinian prisoners already staging. actions of protests there are throwing things around and banging on their cell doors because this is not the first time that something like this has happened just in february another problem. just thirty years old died of an apparent heart attack so the minister for prison affairs of the palestinian authority has already said that israeli actions in this instance are heinous because. the prisoner did not receive timely medical help and he also called for an international investigation into the death of up to him via. this isn't like i said this isn't the first time that

something like this has happened was in jail since two thousand and two he was in prison on charges of conspiring with hamas terrorists and basically has complained about several other illnesses before. and he was sentenced to ninety nine years in prison now there was an appeal filed just last week for his early release but unfortunately he died before that would even be. released to even be looked at by the israeli officials. they're reporting from television. my just ahead we find out how hot off the presses a may be able to take on a new deadly meeting as a report on how three d. printing could produce my arms at home. and study reveals one in seven british m.p.'s have never had a job outside of politics later on we take

a look at the u.k.'s political rich list. technology innovation. developments around russia. the future.

internationally in the very heart of moscow. welcome back you're watching our team a package of severe austerity concert has been introduced in the u.k. with millions of households expected to be hit by the president a cup backs one of those wildly criticized the so-called bedroom tax will see social housing tenants have their benefits slashed is that they have a spare room that's how low can now add to how these new rules a breakdown now it's just a one room for each adult or a couple doesn't matter if you have to sleep separately due to illness children

under ten should be sharing a bedroom whatever their age and while teenagers under sixty nine expected to room together if they are of the same gender adults with a disability and people with force and children are not excluded from the rules the controversial types will directly affect over half a million households and we'll give some from sheffield council says the government is hitting those who are already struggling to get by. two million households across the u.k. are going to be directly affected by these taxes they're the poorest people in this country and this government this tory government is attacking the poorest people on the people who can't afford to pay and they're not people are not working there are most of these people affected are people who are working but in very low paid jobs and they need these benefits to help them survive and get by where i am in search field we have hundreds of disabled people who are going to be directly affected by this these people can't work they're physically disabled through no fault of their

own they survive on benefits of very low benefits another are expected to have to pay for an extra room in their house that they need for their carers to stay in or they need to because they've got children that don't live with them or whatever reason they're the people most affected seventy five percent of the people affected by this are working people obviously it's the most devastating thing this government has ever done in a sin the week that they're giving one hundred thousand pounds back to millionaires changing the national health service or imposing taxes on the poorest people in the country is going to have a devastating effect most people in this country. head to our website our to dot com to get well on the spot why the bedroom tax and i will start the measures in the u.k. thousands of protesters took to the spirits across britain over the weekend. we came a founder julian assange has been holed up in the ecuadorian embassy in the u.k.

for the past nine months but that hasn't dampened his political aspirations now whistleblower has appointed a high profile campaign to manage his bid for seat in israeli and parliament that man is almost surely in republican movement ahead and barrister greg bond and we cannot talk to him live now mr barton what made you take up julian assange just campaign. well i've been a long standing interest in joining the songes can't buy it from a legal perspective because of the way in which it played appallingly triggered by the strike in government and i've also had an interest in a sort of values that julian assange brings to us trade in political landscape that he sekret of transparency in decision making. an examination of the way in which the stage in a strider is encroaching on the rights of individuals the sorts of issues which to consider strike in general and the current political parties in a strike get done address either of those issues julian assange shortly doesn't he's got runs on the board has got worried or when it comes to him to walk and talk

and talk through wiki leaks before we get to the policy is bankrolling this campaign we'll call on them maddest for the wiki leaks party which is currently being established but what i can show you is that there are not multi-million a spanking bankrolling this campaign to my knowledge this is a camper and it will be put together by enthusiastically volunteering their time will be using a lot of volunteers on the campaign to be very small campaign saying and we'll also be having greater access to the internet which of course particularly for younger voters in a striker is the primary why in which they china information about the political process in australia he does a little bit on the logic in a son stance poll but let's talk about policy is cool what can we expect from him as senate south sunday if he wins the what black ball is he running on. the you know policy is going to be developed over the next few months with julian and the party and will be rolling out its ash but what i can set this point is that it

certainly stands for in your strengths in which is effectively the house of review when you strike in parliamentary system using that more effectively to keep government honest about what it's doing and so not simply rubber stamping government policy it's using the senate as a house review to ensure that all of audible documentation in relation to policies tie between the parliament not that we see. whitman so my appointments a government appointment of mike that they scrutinize perfectly but also ensuring that we start to roll back some of the security measures that have been boarding in astronomy in a post nine eleven environment where you've seen major invasions by the security services into it in australia into the lives of ordinary australians and given that julian assange is a difficult legal situation what do you think is turns the law of winning his bid for the senate i think to a very good chance in a strike and to get there if there are six senators who would be elected out of the

turia one of the strikes destroyed he's got to get fourteen point two nine percent of the vote in order to get elected now with a preferential system which is of a party's preference in julian a songe if he gets six to seven percent of the role but he says i'm going to get elected at the moment he's polling around about twenty five to twenty seven percent that he's twenty five to twenty seven percent of australians aside i would vote for julian assange so he starting from a very high price which is going to come down a bit in the context of the campaign but it's a very good place to stop. i think a lot of people i think in this they have a size doesn't win is successful could that eventually help him receive some kind of legal protection. look you'd hope that it would but certainly that's not his motivation however your strength in government would be left in a position after the september election he where it had a person who'd been elected to the senate by the people of victoria and you're

straight in government he's not lifting a finger to help that person come back to australia i think it would be incumbent upon the australian government to exercise the diplomatic and political capital that it's got which struck her with london and with that washington to ensure the julian of sunshine not roughly return home and take his place in the senate away to see what happens in those elections a great a bonsai julian as long as campaign manager and formal swain in republican movement hate thank you for joining us thank you. as the u.k. government clamps down on spending public discontent is growing with brits feeling top politicians are out of touch with the everyday money worries and anxieties are first reports many m.p.'s have absolutely no experience of work outside their political career. young polish and politics meet britain's me political elite an assortment of multi-millionaires you studied at exclusive universities a recent study by the house of commons

library with the one seven m.p.'s had never held a job outside of politics and that's left many wondering whether they're really up to the job. i'm not defensive about it i'm there to do a drop i do the job the best my booty but somebody the government's best is not good enough. like they're making all these attacks and they you know they've never been a person like unemployed people living on fifty six pound weeks they've no idea what that's like they've also no idea what it's like to be a hard working person really want to do your job well you've been given target having a pay cut you're always attacked you know under-staffed all the time they've no idea what it's like to like that well laden might have been accused of scoring political points by waiting class warfare they don't escape criticism either ed miliband and his wealthy counterparts the champagne socialists but this is not just

the tories and lib dems and some of this labor as well like that also which so let's take a look at who's on the political rich list according to recent estimate the man with his hands on the nation's purse strings chancellor george osborne is east to his pockets weighing him down with an estimated four point five million pounds to his name to impart to shares in a prosperous family business david cameron's not far off with assets estimated at three point eight million pounds but even the prime minister and chancellor fall short of the one time leader of the house of lords thomas galbraith a k lord strathclyde he's worth almost ten million pounds london's. very taylor's way out of the price range for most people but not for this government many of. them not afraid to flaunt their wealth the prime minister david cameron is known to be partial to richard james see the price of which is likely to

set you back more than the average monthly household income and we're having to live with another austerity tailored budget come this politically really understand what those cuts mean for ordinary. you close according to your cloth as the old saying goes perhaps members of government should take note from their tailors unemployment in britain. is down and ordinary british people feel. we've. increased pension he usually. think the big deals can always come up with things that. have gone wrong with the bad economic situation that we inherited it was almost inevitable that we were going to lose our aaa rating while the push jobs might come easily the resurgence of the toss that the top to some is an indicator of the much greater malays there

is a problem with the political class in general and it is out of touch with the general population they don't really understand the suffering now with rising basic costs and of course there's very much a top down elitist policy that's driving these costs we are all in this together has been the prime minister's rallying cry with the growing public skepticism the government's been left looking for ways to try to connect and whether it's george osborne joining twitter or david cameron starring in a pop music video just what will the government do next to try to convince that they can get down with the best of what. doc but i can't actually tell you one hundred percent about. you to try it out with. r.t. . the ongoing us a gun control debate has turned its attention to what type of arms of people should be allowed to where and how they obtained them but it would all be academic if people had the ability to bypass any restrictions and produce

firearms without even leaving their homes or thanks to the technological magic of three d. printing what i had for a sounds like science fiction could soon become science fact archie is marina point mary course. from the state of the union in youngstown a while we're no workers are mastering the three d. printing but has the potential to revolutionize the way we make almost everything to a store in soho new york three d. printing technology has officially gone mainstream the demand is much greater than our supply right now and we're actually ramping up and expanding rapidly to meet that demand this three d. printing company maker bot opened its first retail store last year it is selling its newly released replicator to desktop for just under twenty two hundred dollars using a plastic material the machine deposits ultra thin layers to form any object that can be molded in software welcome to the world of independent manufacturing so this

stretch bracelet took about sixteen in the woods to make five other objects that are a bit bigger like this cupcake gift box took about fifteen hours of printing now while the time a very anyone with a three d. desktop printer can essentially make anything that they want at our web site thing on earth is a repository for three d. printed items we have more than forty thousand items on thing over that are free and downloadable and one of our terms of service is that you cannot upload any thing that is to the weapon. this is where twenty five year old cody wilson enters the picture a group of friends and i started a project called difference distributed. we're going to use a three d. printer to print a gun to release the files open source the texas law student has already printed a thirty round magazine and lower receiver that houses the bolt for an ar fifteen and he's reportedly working on completing a rifle with a three d.

printer his blueprints were gone and gone parts are distributed for free on his website what i'm doing is showing people ok this is something that can be done right now. right now the self described. market after kist has thrown a major red into america's gun control debate as a national conversation go on it was a debate that started in december after twenty children and six adults were shot dead at a connecticut elementary school overwhelming majorities of americans americans who believe in the second amendment have come together around common sense reform like background checks that will make it harder for criminals to get their hands on a gun meanwhile just last month wilson became a federally licensed gun manufacturer and dealer there bypassing the debate there rendering the debate irrelevant whatever laws can make about of this discussion the sort of ability to manufacture objectivity of firearms on

a localized centralized basis means of the law really won't matter the law may say that something is illegal but if you can turn to a device that's on your desktop and manufacture that at will with nobody knowing that you've done so then the law doesn't matter at all with a reported three hundred million guns in circulation the u.s. has the highest rate of gun ownership in the world and the second highest rate of deaths by firearms among industrialized nations. and just as lawmakers are finalizing new legislation that would tighten the nation's all too easy access to firearms experts claim that technology will ultimately outpace their meager efforts at gun control up or nial r.t. new york. on the way as the russian city of sochi prepares to host the twenty fourteen winter olympics we take you on a tour of a spectacular surrounding. the

news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. operations. down in the black sea coast of russia the city of sochi is busy preparing for the twenty fourteen winter olympic games construction is booming transport infrastructure is being completely revamped and disabled on such points of being installed across town. but aside from being russia's second lympics city sochi is also one of the country's most popular tourist destinations people flock here for the long hot summer as the spacious beaches on the warm seas busk if you're looking for more than just a time it's also an area filled with some amazing natural highlights.
