is it's an honor and it's a privilege and it's there are no words to describe. this. more than a website as well i want to check it out. now the eurozone central banks conceded that the struggling bloc is another kick start its finally cut interest rates to record low of north point five percent that's on the back of this week's disappointing jobless figures another record number. from the euro skeptic bruges group think tank who thinks it will make any difference though to those countries still languishing in the economic doldrums. within the eurozone there will not be any change because they have one common sense it won't actually help the economies of southern europe particularly spain portugal arland italy and greece which we can all pound together as countries that are struggling as a result of their being the e.u. single common see the euro france as well is also suffering economic unemployment
3:07 pm
rising we're seeing a separation between the french and german economies so cutting interest rates by this small amount to no point five percent won't actually really make much difference we need a vatican change of policy within the e.u. to to bring about economic growth eventually the will have to be a breakup of the euro that's the only way to restore economic growth it's the only way to get people back to work if they can have their common seize depreciate and of course that the new tape instance that which market that were to be returned that would then increase in in value and that would help the the disparities within the eurozone which has been created largely by the single currency to need to be a vertical change of course and women will just keep on going up. force feeding inmates at the guantanamo bay prison is torture and breaks international law that's how the united nations labeled treatment of detainees a facility as many as twenty three prisoners are not being forced to eat through. the noise for detainee say that as many as one hundred thirty of the one hundred

3:09 pm
protest not just. at the base but now also wants you to know that the prisoners and his indefinite detention without any sort of records this could be a result of something as simple as. meeting with and talking to the prisoner at discussing with them what it is that it's going to take and the hunger strike and that the simple as allowing them to return or to not have their qur'an searched that they haven't been seen very many years but we finally heard from president obama on the issue he had been silent for many many years how since he committed to close that we find we. really need you and your confirmation that the president. those fleeing their countries to seek a safer life in the u.k. can offer them that with neither a job or a place to live tens of thousands of rejected saddam's it is

3:18 pm
and the construction of a super sized us security paradigm begins. surveillance technology has become the driving force behind washington's counterterrorism strategy bodies stand at airports faces filmed on the streets and social media closely monitored in cyberspace there has been a severe denigration of civil rights and civil liberties and the anger a nation of power by federal government authorities and by law enforcement against individual since two thousand and one are around seven hundred and ninety billion dollars has reportedly been spent on cementing america's homeland security apparatus a platinum wall of defense easily shattered by inexpensive pressure there's ball bearings nails and of bomb building manual that could be found on the internet you just can't prevent terrorism in the current model with these surveillance technology i can go into a right and walk out with the makings of

3:21 pm
to tackle domestic terrorism and so are there more things. whether it's. engaging in engaging in this where there's a potential for radicalization of this. is there work that can be done in terms of detection detecting terror in the homeland of lebanon a half years after america's global war on terror began. r.t. . april was the deadliest month in iraq in nearly five years with more than seven hundred people killed and another sixteen hundred injured according to the u.n. been gripped by political unrest as well with calls for prime minister maliki's government to resign my power as chairman of an iraq antiwar group who says that unless the us constitution is phased out of violence and tension is set to continue the first step to quit the elections which were elected constituent assembly

hundreds of homes are at risk a red flag warning has been issued a strong winds an extremely dry weather threat the fan the flames even more than you hoped for russia's ambitious space plans is beginning to rise from the sands in the country's far east the nice spaceport is assured you'll be ready in three years time should be the launch pad for a number of manned flights also with the ultimate game of an observatory on the moon is a lecturer jet ski. this site is now being described as the main construction side of russia's far east in just two years time this will become the top priority facility in russia the brand new cosmodrome. this will make russia independent mostly independent from the bike of course my drum which is now using and paying an annual rent of six hundred million u.s. dollars of this will also make life easy in terms of political decisions on several occasions blocked the launch of russia's satellites and manned space ships of
3:25 pm
course when russia will have its own space port here in the far east this problem will no longer exist there will of course be some disadvantages for instance the transportation of the russian carriers to the cosmodrome here in the far east right now it takes several days to deliver them to the baikonur cosmodrome which is two thousand five hundred kilometers away from moscow this side here is five thousand five hundred kilometers from moscow so it will take longer and a little more closely but the advantages which exist in this project of having its russia having its own cosmodrome are much much more significant in the first place the parts of the carriers the parts of rockets which are falling off from the rocket when it enters the atmosphere will no longer full on to the land and of course will no longer create risk of these parts holding on to populated areas in the case of the drum these parts will fall into the ocean but the biggest and the
3:26 pm
most significant benefit which russia will have from having its own cosmodrome is its lunar program by the year twenty thirty as it's expected a space ship a manned space ship will take off from here to the moon which will then circle the earth satellites orbit. just the beginning that's why it will play way to a whole new moon exploration program with plans to build an observatory and the research lab on the lunar surface already voiced by russian scientists should that be successful the whole string of facilities including helium mining shafts may follow there's even a possibility that now lifeless planet could be made inhabitable by humans and enjoying a quiet evening watching lunar landscapes from the balcony of a moon hotel will no longer be science fiction but an absolutely real option. great graphics of overtime there in a few minutes the individual minds because there was a drop in precious metal prices isn't enough that the shine off for investors

3:28 pm
o's and it makes perfect sense that nowadays people are intro starting to grow their own food and this logic applies to education too when public education becomes so dismal it is perfectly logical and reasonable to try to educate your kids yourself the no child left behind program did a fine job of making the american education system lower the bar down to the very basement of the lowest common denominator i mean if you think there should be more in a high school graduates had besides reading writing and arithmetic that homeschooling might be for you as art sports and music and science programs all across the nation to the lack of funding is ron paul's libertarian curriculum what's best for your kids hey i can't say but it's definitely worth taking a look at other alternatives given the d. minus quality of public education holidays but that's just my opinion.
