islamophobia hate crimes cross the u.k. following the daylight murder of a british soldier by muslim extremists in london we get expert analysis on this shortly from the u.k. . it's a national approaches to peace in syria clash russia and the u.s. are stressing diplomacy britain france went to the rebels directly. over the brutal methods used by french police against protesters following a rally over the weekend with the authorities accused of downplaying just the dissent was. the powerhouses of asia and europe struggle to avoid a trade that threatens to make beijing pay more to sell its products below market top stories this hour.

international from a studio center here in moscow this is. british police have arrested two men suspected of setting fire to a mosque in eastern england is the latest in a series of hate crimes across the country spot by the brutal killing of a british soldier in london by self-proclaimed defenders of muslims the surge of islamophobia has some concern that society is about to split. reports. the police investigation into the death of drama lee rigby is still ongoing but last week's killing of the off duty soldier by islamic extremists has already provoked an anti muslim backlash religious charity faith masses say they used to receive five calls a day reporting racial abuse that figure is now up to over one hundred calls

a day reporting anti muslim incidents the abuse includes the pulling off of women's headscarves attacks against mosques anti muslim graffiti and general abuse social media has also provided a platform for some to vent their anti islamic sentiments a number of arrests of already been made the news is that many muslims here saying that they're afraid to leave their houses while community leaders say that they're concerned about the spread of the incidents with reports of anti muslim abuse coming from across the entire country at the same time a new poll says that two thirds of people living in the u.k. believe that there will be a clash of the civilizations between white britons and british muslims something that could be increasingly threatening to britain's image of multiculturalism and ethnic diversity. see london before war let's cross to investigative

journalist turney goes in he's there in the u.k. tony we've seen extremist groups like the english defense league react but all we know at a point where we're seeing people now turning against the muslim neighbors. yes well this seems to be happening doesn't it is extremely worrying but let's not forget that the western intelligence services have been involved in acts criminal acts in the past which have actually fuel discord of sectarian violence which is seems to be beginning again here in britain i mean there are some serious questions that m i five have got to answer about what happened last week in london we will each i mean first of all obviously you know the condolences go to peace family and the the horrendous part of all of that is that how did these guys who were right at the very top of the terror watch list their ex and all mature and people how on earth did they not get spotted preparing for some kind of terror act and what was the car bugged for example this is one question that hasn't been answered m i five

have gone very quiet. how did they get ammunition how did they get a revolver had they been following these kinds of questions i mean they've got something like four thousand staff m i five and if they can't keep an eye on the people who are very top of the watch list then there needs to be a real shake up and heads need to roll there and the u.k. home secretary has said there needs to be a look at the communications data react stronger powers of surveillance that is necessary now isn't it because if you did have those stronger powers of surveillance then those guys may not have slipped through the net. well they would say that wouldn't name no i don't think this is the right thing to be doing at all we need to actually have a look at who is to blame here m i five job is to stop people like this committing acts like this and they haven't done it and this isn't the first time if we go back to the london bombings of two thousand and five you might remember that m i five have been following these guys around as well now all fair play to them if they can stop some plots taking place but these guys were really at the top of the list and

if they can't stop these people then what are they there for you go back even to the ninety's and the bishopsgate bomb we now know that m i five were following the ira around for days and in the months with this bomb beforehand and yet still allowed them to blow it up so the oversight of the security services really needs to be looked at and i think we need to have some serious changes in the way runs the other thing is the oversight m.p.'s don't oversee m i five anymore six it's actually civil servants that do and they are then overseen by a handful of m.p.'s including what i would suggest or rather a lightweight m.p.'s pro establishment is wormy like hazel blears and malcolm rifkind of people like this you know there isn't any proper oversight of what these intelligence services seem to do every time is to hide behind the veil of national security we can't tell you what's going on even the inquiry that's been instituted into the failures of what happened last wednesday is going to be kept entirely

secret and i'm afraid it's time for them to come out from under their shells and get a proper looking at so that this kind of thing really can't happen again and they're not going to play this game sure you are saying we need more money we need more power and we need more surveillance of the general population because they're all the laws they needed to stop these people doing what they did last wednesday i don't need any more power whatsoever but the government is doing something by setting up a new terrorism task force to target hate preachers and extremism doing that wouldn't that stop that sort of violent act. well i actually don't think so i think one of the things which would stop it is william hague pursuing this foreign policy which bears no relevance to what the british people actually want it's not in our interests to be trying to arm al-qaeda in syria as he's trying to been trying to do today over in brussels thankfully most of the rest of europe thinks it's a ridiculous concept and he's not going to let him do it but we need to have

politicians that actually represent what we say rather than business interests let's not forget back in the one nine hundred ninety s. m i five was actually courting business interests saying would you like sh s.p.c. would you like us to come and spy for you to give you information from our files they were also saying the same to be a systems one of the biggest arms manufacturers in the world and i'm afraid this is an m i five that's completely out of control they just seem to do what they want and there's no proper oversight of our security services and once you get that sort of situation then you've got the possibility of all sorts of things going on illegally i mean for example we had this interview that was done on the b.b.c. last friday evening where the chap as he's being interviewed special branch turn up at the b.b.c. and arrest him as soon as he's coming out now you can't just arrest people for telling what their own version friends of terrorists about various stories to do with for example this chap that committed this act it looks like last wednesday having been tortured and attempted to be recruited by m i five the public needs to

know these things and we as parliamentarians as well need to know these things if they're going to have any proper so oversight of our security services and we do we really need to do that i think bill if we're going to have any kind of real anti terror operation in this country we need to have an accountable security services where the moment we don't have it all and does this draw attention to the public or britain's foreign policy in what way could this have an impact on future military engagements in was in countries. well it doesn't just have an impact on the islamic community sure you that many people in this country run happy about i mean look for example what we've done to iraq an illegal war now we've had another bomb attack today with fifty people killed something over one hundred people injured today we've made a mess in a wreck of these places the arab league's prediction that we were going to open the gates of hell in iraq has come true and actually britain and tony blair of george

bush two are responsible for this so it's not just the muslim population the other thing is we've got other extremists here in britain that is to say you know sort of anti islamic extremists two weeks ago a man a pensioner coming home from his mosque in birmingham in the middle and of britain was murdered and this got almost no coverage whatsoever and we need to make sure that the security services are taking exactly the same sort of measures against the anti muslim like the defense league these kinds of organizations as they are against the islamic organizations and one thing that i've noticed today in the press here they're trying to do is to close down or at least possibly ban here which is a does not advocate violence at all i mean this is ridiculous what they're trying to do is actually demonize muslims in a similar way to actually to the nazis demonized jews back in the one nine hundred thirty s. and it's ridiculous we've got to stop that we don't want that from him i five thank you very much investigative journalist tony gosling live there in the u.k.

thank you very much indeed for your thoughts. thanks bill well we're following developments in the u.k. on air and online for you here in r.t. a full timeline of events since the murder of lee rigby last wednesday with reaction and analysis from experts and officials all waiting for you right now on our website at abc dot com. central paris as witness violence on its streets over the weekend a mass rally in protest at laws allowing same sex marriage and adoption turned into clashes police crackdown on far right activists who join the demonstration police arrested three hundred fifty people for refusing to disperse or occupying private property organizers and sister about a million protesters turned out but authorities say it was more like one hundred fifty thousand france are seeing protests grow as many become angry with president lands failure to set the nation's economy straight bruno verkin he's part of an anti gay marriage adoption movement that took part in the protests on sunday i spoke to him a little earlier he says people were detained just for voicing their beliefs. you

wouldn't be able to provide any picture nor any film of any broken glass any burned car any violence during the protests themselves at the same time many people have been arrested several hundred people have been arrested by the police just because they were wearing suits with this logo there systematically the government tends to divide by three the numbers of protesters in protest that are against its policies you know when a kid has lost its parents probably. dearest wish to be adopted by a man and a woman and. there is a lie that. make people believe in the future that they can be born from two men or two women and this is extremely dangerous and by the way we look

through all the right to medical procreation and sorra good mothers which people in france are extremely worried about an extremely against. and john laughlin from the institute of democracy and cooperation in paris thinks the points were and is just using gay marriage as a cover for his political failures. none of the policies of last far longer can be described as left wing he campaigned you'll recall on against austerity saying that he was going to accept an austerity package and of course as soon as he was in power he implemented one and this is having very serious effects on french society so to substitute if you like for this failure to pursue any kind of left wing social or economic policy is instead putting forward or putting through this law on gay marriage which in the words of its own authors will bring about a change of civilization it's a kind of substitute if you like for the economic policy that he refuses to to

implement and as for the police they are acting under government orders they have ministry of the interior was in the police headquarters yesterday more or less directing operations so they are acting politically. well the issue of homosexuality remains sensitive here in russia as well. explains why. just on saturday. around forty people when a group of gay rights activists tried holding a protest rally against traffic law banning the sexual propaganda and were attacked by a group of a radical orthodox christians was a t.v. rights activist and pretty much is the same picture will be seen every time gay rights activists try holding or staging any sort of public events they're always attacked by a two year rights activist and so the recent nationwide poll conducted by you by the center really explains why according to its statistics nearly forty percent of

its responded believe that homosexuals have to be forcibly treated by doctors around thirteen percent believe that they have to be prosecuted while only around eight percent of the respondents believe that gays in russia have to be helped to be able to live normal lives in a society so if you compare the situation to france for instance then it's still a whole different picture especially when it comes to the amount of people taking to the streets either in support of or idea instigate rights but judging by the general conservative or also conservative mood in a russian society it's very unlikely that we will see any rights parades taking place any place in russia in the near future since even the if the authorities did allow them to happen then the simply wouldn't be able to provide the proper security to the activists themselves. britain france are pushing to be allowed to supply weapons to the syrian rebels and the e.u. arms embargo on the conflict torn country lifted the sanctions expire on friday and

for now most european union members are strongly against arming the opposition this comes as top russian and u.s. diplomats prepare to discuss final preparations for next month's international conference on syria syria has the latest. we have the u.k. and france who are aggressively pushing for a lifting partial lifting of that embargo on syria in order to said to the rebels the u.k. a foreign secretary william hague is trying to get the other e.u. members to agree with him that arming of the a moderate army the so-called moderate rebels in syria also france's leaders have been particularly aggressive in trying to lobby the other leaders to be on board in fact today the more left leading newspaper also published a report saying that serious forces loyal to bashar al assad had used chemical weapons because one of the reporters had experience effects of it critics would certainly point out that the timing of the publication especially since leaders are

to make a decision today now all the other sites you have france of the u.k. on one side on the other side you have several countries that lifting any of borgo would mean that arms could eventually end up in the wrong hands in violent has in syria they're also pointing out to the fact that human human rights abuses have been committed by both sides which means it includes rebels in syria so again differences abound this isn't the subject of the conversation here in fact. if there is no agreement it seems that each country will have to have its all sanctions policy on syria that's already what we've been seeing and if this happens a status quo does remain in syria the conflict continues let's remember the goal of this russia u.s. led talks for peace is to convince everybody to be on the same page or sit down for talks peace talks in geneva and now washington did indeed express their support for the rebels and this could prove to be a problem in trying to get all sides involved now bashar al assad in principle had said that he will attend those talks however the opposition has said that they will

only do so if bashar al assad steps down we go back again to these pre-conditions these differences in before making any steps or progress into the peace process and we've already seen that everybody agrees essentially to have a solution for syria the crux of the matter here is how to go about doing so each country seems to have its own vision of how to accomplish this goal and this is already what we've been seeing for the past couple of years and we can say that it has been hampering any substantial syria. london and paris and making a last ditch effort to bolster the syrian rebels who are losing the fight against damascus that's the view of middle east expert professor jeremy salt we know the syrian army has just about retaken completely the town of now and the very shortly will move north towards homs to make sure that's completely cleaned they will move on to hala and that of course is going to be a big struggle because the armed groups there are very well entrenched so that what comes out of this is that the syrian army is still getting on top of this insurgency william hague made

a bizarre state when he said that that is unless the embargo is lifted that extremism would flourish transfer yard because we know that extremism in syria has lost simply because it was pumped into the country the hague must know he must surely know this no must that there's no way that the groups can recover from where they are now if they can't overthrow the governments know whether to do that so why is he saying this and the only reason he can't have for saying this is that he wants to have a card in his hand when this conference begins next month in geneva that you know in other words that can be told the less we do what we want we're going to continue arming the rebels jim want to do that well we want you to tell us what you think about this upcoming peace convention arranged there in geneva mediated by russia and the u.s. what's going to come out of it well these are the results so far you're giving us on our online poll at r.t.

dot com the majority think not much because you believe that it won't happen at all meanwhile a third think perhaps a peace plan will be formed but question whether the rebels will stick to it and then we see a small amount eight percent thinking that this could lead to the end of western backing for the rebels and four percent saying perhaps a third could resign those the results so far online at www dot com it's our online poll. well still to come we're going to be finding out here after the break just how the syrian conflict is now spreading across the borders that's. technology innovation.

the news continues here naughty the syrian conflicts causing tension in neighboring countries taking physic could spread across the entire region a rocket was reportedly fired from lebanon into israel just a day after an attack on part of the lebanese capital in the latest escalation of sectarian strife in the country middle east correspondent paula is following the latest developments. he has been a leader hassan nasrallah has kelly stated that he and his below are involved in the war in syria he was addressing thousands of his supporters in the southern beirut suburb of dusty on sunday and in that speech a pledge that all i'll support for the syrian president bashar assad saying that his shiite muslim group would stay in the syrian war to quote him to the end of the road and achieve victory together. there are two major threats facing the lebanese people and the entire region today the first emits from israel and its avid intentions and plots the second threat stems from the changes

taking place in syria which neighbors our cities villages and homes syria is seeing major activity by radical islamist movements this one is said that his war was with the extremists he called an attack fearless he said that tens of thousands of them from all over the world are currently fighting in syria and he warned that if syria force they've been on to move forward this in turn he said would lead to israel we occupying lebanon now eleven his media is reporting that a rocket has been fired towards israel from the lebanese town of measure you and this is off to two other rockets landed in the has been a stronghold in doubt here on sunday the lebanese army saying that those rockets were fired from inside lebanon towards the hizbollah stronghold the united nations has been concerned over his that as involvement for quite some time the arab cheat the arab chiefs the arab league chief has urged them to stop fighting in syria but must try to address this during his sunday address saying why is the u.n.

not calling on the extremists to stop fighting inside syria and again reiterating that they are fighting not only for syria but for lebanon as well earlier there were also dozens of his the fighters reportedly killed during fighting in a key syrian town of qusayr your so what we do see is the tension on the ground heating up. some stunning pictures from the russian city of waiting for you sort of the moment that you looking out the window and seeing hundreds of tons of metal heading straight for you when that became a reality for the residents of this apartment block luckily nobody was hurt and online for the amateur video of the accident and pictures of the aftermath. also there for you the moment the japanese public reacts to a slap in the face from a south korean newspaper which labeled the her and nagasaki atomic bombings divine punishment for turkey's post war crimes if you check out the full story at all t. dot com. america's war on terror facelift has

caused a storm of criticism for president obama and with a vast military presence worldwide many are asking whether what the u.s. does is even legal he's going to check on reports president obama in his major national security speech this may quoted james madison saying no nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare at the very same time the administration claims power to wage endless war across the globe there was a senate hearing this may revisiting the authorization for use of military force which congress enacted days after nine eleven attacks in two thousand and one at a hearing pentagon officials claimed that authorization gives the president power to wage endless war anywhere in the world including syria yemen and the congo and when asked how long they predict this war on terror is going to last they said quote from ten to twenty years the you agree with me that when it comes to international terrorism we're talking about a worldwide struggle. absolutely sure that would you agree with me the battlefield

is wherever the enemy chooses to make it. is sir from boston the two. so by the administration's definition the wall that is the battlefield with me today is brian becker with the answer coalition brian thanks for joining bryan you have president obama saying that his national security speech that the u.s. is not engaged in a boundless war and yet you have this vast military presence across the globe does it look like the u.s. this really seeking to limit itself in the use of military force no in fact the policy in the institutional policy is for the united states then it would be prepared for endless war but that being engaged in all of the activities that would lead one to believe that they are an endless war there's one point three million u.s. military personnel three hundred to four hundred thousand of them are overseas there's nine hundred military bases the united states spends not five hundred twenty five billion which is the defense department budget but really about a trillion dollars on warfare that's greater than the next sixteen nations combined

we see an integrated network of bases now drone bases growing increasingly this is to have a full spectrum domination using the military as the club the administration argues that all their military actions in the countries that the u.s. is not at war with are perfectly legal under the u.s. congress it's authorization for use of military force that's their legal justification for continuing all these attacks what about international law well international law has been shredded by the so-called global war on terrorism or the authorization bill that allows the u.s. to invade any country bomb any country and kill whoever it wants the u.n. charter is quite clear the united states like all other member nations of the united nations can only go to war as an act of imminent self-defense but in fact the united states by arrogating to itself the right to war anywhere against anyone all the time is clearly in violation of international law but president obama. says

the administration does not violate anybody's sovereignty because it operates in consultation with the governments concerned the whole population of pakistan their parliament unanimously remotely oppose drone strikes and yet they continue so maybe the administration is in consultation with the government there but certainly not the people i'm going to check on me today was a prime backer with the answer coalition from our studio in washington thanks for watching. germany has told the european commission it won't get behind the plan to impose tariffs and some chinese imports as part of attempts to stave off a trade war with asia's biggest financial engine the e.u. accuse beijing of dumping goods on to the market below cost price and undermining its european rivals but china's premier would further scrutiny it will only backfire on consumers has been following talks between the two. last year alone germany exported around sixty seven billion euros worth of goods to china and they want to see that increase in the future and dylan merkel it has in the past

made no secret about her want to call the chinese markets last year she visited beijing twice within the space of seven months and she's wanting to make sure that the trade can be done between the two countries especially considering germany's traditional markets in europe do appear to be drying up the financial crisis meaning that those countries in europe that were previously buying german exports well really can't afford to do that at the moment she also perhaps has an eye on the future in a potential british exit from the european union that could see over seventy billion euros worth of exports put into doubt if great britain wasn't part of the trading union that is the a u for the chinese they want to do more business with germany germany is one of the few countries that has kept its head above water when it's come to this financial crisis they've also that means that they're one of the few countries economically that can afford to buy more and more chinese exports so

that's why we're seeing the world's second largest economy in china courting europe's largest economy in germany to try and mutually to increase mutually beneficial trade between the two countries earlier a former member of the european parliament glyn ford told me there will be serious ramifications to any trade war. i think it would be disastrous particularly over the solar panels case to get into such a war because we will cut off our nose to spite our face we're going to lose more jobs in the installation industry by probably an order of might be true that we might conceivably save in the solar panel construction industry it appears nonsensical but there does seem to be some momentum behind it solar panels are really the first out of the eyes of the traps and we're getting to a point now when dumping futures are going to be announced and then there's an

opportunity for negotiations between the european commission on and china about whether we can set a minimum price but that in itself may be bad for your consumers and the commissioner apparently playing hardball and refusing to make very many concessions in the early negotiations it's unclear what's going to happen we have the commission on the verge of if you want complaining to itself over mobile phone components in the sense that there's been no official complaint from industry but the commission is planning to take up the issue alongside the solar panels issue. a series of complaints not only about dumping but also about chinese government subsidies which in a sense is rather more worrying because the solar panel industry is one industry where the dumping complaints about the government make it covers the whole of chinese production which will be much more likely to lead to a major trade war. in the world update the sixty six people have been killed and many more wounded in a string of car bomb attacks in baghdad the explosion struck mostly shia areas of

the iraqi capital and also a busy commercial street that the bombings hit iraq only daily at the moment the country suffered an upsurge in sectarian violence since the u.s. withdrew its troops in late two thousand and. thousands of ethnic albanians turned out to march in protest at the arrest of six form of course of a rebel commanders in pristina the suspects including the republic's ambassador to albania allegedly. emitted war crimes during the course of a war in the late ninety's they're accused of running at the tensions center where civilian captives were tortured to death cases that by the e.u.'s mission in kosovo which has been operating since unilaterally declared independence from serbia in two thousand and eight. now than ever want to take to the streets in protest for an important cause or perhaps join the security services to try and restore peace well soon you'll be able to do both with a new riot video game. takes a look. soon you will be able to take part in the street protest from the comfort

of your armchair coming out for handheld devices and p.c.'s is the first riot simulator game wrapped in pixel graphics and old school sounds it will let you choose sides protesters or the police and help violent havoc unfold in the streets of european cities the game's designers say they have taken part in real life protests in italy so they floated this game to tell the truth tale of global uprisings stop listening to the lies of the media shut down the television and get yourself in the line to fight for your freedom of speech is the message on the games website moreover the designers claim they are documenting eyewitness accounts to make the gameplay as real as possible and to answer many questions like what triggers acts of violence and what do cops feel when an angry mob attacks a game like this would probably have raised eyebrows a few years ago but today the world sees protests on almost a daily basis to a large extent street riots have become a popular media tool music stars film videos with violent street skirmishes and

hollywood makes entire movies about street movements scenes of rallies worldwide are ever present on t.v. screens which breeds a feeling that street upheaval is no longer something out of the ordinary the masterminds of the new addition to the whole protest many say their app is more about education than entertainment that i called one of the designers writing is an experience that needs to be lived and of quote and despite the fact that game hasn't been yet released it's already promises to be a hit judging by the hundreds of thousands of views of its trailer and the developers easily managed to get funding for the game online the rides better version is expected to be available within a few months that brings you up to date for the moment i'll be back with a news team in just under half an hour with more news in the meantime the latest business is next with.

a u.s. senate committee has passed a bill that if signed by obama will allow the u.s. to put a lot of weapons into the hands of syrian rebels this seems rather odd because many of the factions that are revolting seem like bad people to be arming in fact one rebel faction al nasra which according to the guardian is an islamist organization with links to al qaeda is quickly becoming the most powerful rebel faction of all of them the b.b.c. even declared that al nasra has been designated as a terrorist organization by the us government itself as it started something like a bad idea to ship weapons into syria on american taxpayers' dollars yet let's just pretend that somehow all these weapons will magically not fall into the hands of al nasra well the free syrian army isn't much better they seem perfectly happy to use rape and beheadings and genocide against christian alawite minorities with great glee to get what they want arming radical groups always has blowback if you remember back to just the one nine hundred eighty s. the u.s.

funded and armed the taliban and those mujahedeen fighter guys and look how that turned out the u.s. government seems way too eager to arm radical foreigners and disarm average americans when they should be doing the exact opposite but that's just my opinion. thirty five minutes past ten pm here in moscow are you watching the business program with me now to show you have scam belo roots plans to build an entire city near its capital minsk using money from china built as the new high tech manufacturing hub the city will mushroom on a land lot that's almost twice the size of manhattan it will get a sellick tricity from a nuclear power plant that russia will help bell the roost built by twenty eighteen

the project total price tag is us to made it a five billion dollars just roughly eight percent of the country's entire struggling sixty billion dollars connie the bulk of this initial investment bella will have to borrow from the chinese the preliminary agreement have already been reached but every loan has to be repaid i asked the project's deputy had q. kartikeya how the belarusian side plans to do that and when it hopes to break even on the project. as of today a bowler who says working with two of the largest chinese banks export import bank of china and china development bank it's a long term loan totaling three billion dollars we expect to pay it off in fifteen to twenty years. and let's quickly run through the markets it was a religiously quiet day for the european equities with wall street and a london closed for banking holidays germany's dax was put close thing pretty

robust gains a rebounding from its first weekly loss in more than a month mainly thanks to high tech stocks and to the auto makers now in the currency markets the euro is trading a lower to the dollar here in moscow as you can see the russian ruble is mixed to the major currencies on monday and when it comes to the russian equities they've both shed value on very thin trading volume and that's against the backdrop of other emerging markets headed for their biggest and crease and about a week and walling oil prices no doubt had a lot to do with that it's day five of a lower crude it continues to drop after the world's second biggest consumer china said its into spading a lower economic growth rates. russia is planning to sell part of its giant state owned railway company by the end of next year the deal likely to offer

the first five percent could value the russian of railways at more than forty two billion dollars if the offering is successful the state might sell an additional twenty percent by the end of two thousand and sixteen according to the economy ministry the russian railways is one of the world's biggest of railway companies with one million employees and one billion passengers. unemployment has become one of the biggest social and economic issues in europe. the recent data shows that chu out of three young people in greece and spain are out of work and it's the austerity measures that should take all the blame for the ugly jobless rates that's according to an american economist a noble nobel prize winner dail more steam the austerity programs have been counterproductive. and negative effect on growth and therefore increased employment

it's hard to debate otherwise countries that haven't had to go through that like northern european countries are doing fine they're not having problems of unemployment i just went through it spain italy portugal ireland greece those are the countries that are under the gun for austerity as well as the united states they seem to be doing much better than europe but wages are falling so do you see the united states curbing the unemployment in the near future at the moment u.s. is doing relatively better it's coming back but we've just had our own form of austerity going into effect the first of march with major budget federal budget cuts and these are headwinds against which the recovery is trying to trying to cope many europeans especially young ones start losing hope to find job after several years of unsuccessful job seeking what do you think of the western labor market

gets back to normal in europe or is it lately it's been getting worse and part of it is a reversal in policy government policy part of it is there are going to get to some of the structural issues that are working themselves out you know ten year horizon that probably means things to get better at them in the next year or two it's hard to find. it's hard to be optimistic. the widely accepted cliche that men on average earn more than women could turn out to be far from the truth according to fox business men and women earn the same when they make the same career choices the problem is they rarely do women whose priorities are vastly different from men often sacrifice their careers and their pay in favor of family flexibility and often spiritual fulfillment the existing wage disparity comes from men choosing higher paying fields and occupations here's an example in the

relatively high paying computer and engineering fields men outnumber women seven to one within the medical field men are far more likely to become surgeons while women tend to go for the lower paying specialties like pediatrics and dentistry and that's the latest from the business team this hour after a short break r t speaks with the leader of the libertarian party in the netherlands about the role of the state and the individual freedoms that the party stands for keep it here on r.t. . we're all talking about language and what our lovely react to situations i think read the reports but let. me know i'll leave the state department comment on your latter point safe. to carry every car is on the job here will garner.

it's been said that in life only two things that guarantee death and taxes and my guest today has some issues with one of those i'm joined by two on monday as the leader of the libertarian party of the netherlands thanks very much for talking to us now for our view is that might not be completely ofay with libertarianism what is it that you stand for it's a political philosophy that once a maximize individual liberty and minimize government we believe in self ownership of that every individual on his own life his own body the fruits of his own leaper and that these are fundamental human rights that nobody should violate including the government so if libertarianism is trying to pay as little tax as possible deal face up in a situation where we get what you pay for well there are many reasons why we are opposed to taxation the first reason is a moral reason we believe taxation is immoral we believe that every individual has a right to his own life and therefore rights to the fruits of his labor or it was

property and that it is morally wrong to take somebody's property against their will and that is what taxation is taxation is legalized for foreign of robbery what changes would libertarianism bring to europe. well first of all would have a lot more freedom it would mean that people would now control their own lives they control their own destinies they can decide for themselves what it is they want to do with the fruits of their own labor their longer have a government that's taking half of what they earn what we get what do we get a return we get streets we get we get highways filled with traffic jams we get hospitals with waiting lines we get schools that are very expensive but the quality of these schools is not all that great we get. an army of bureaucrats whose job is to make new rules and they keep making new roles all the time what are the main problems facing europe right now. the problems caused because.

of our financial system because the government has created the monopoly of government employee of money creation there was a time when money was gold and when money was gold and good money was gold coins there was no inflation there was deflation in fact one one coin of gold could buy you more and more over time because. there were the production levels are rising much faster than the amount of gold in the world and that in those days there were no. the pressure there were no big recessions that started when the money sort of started changing when people took their gold to the bank and received . in return a bank note or research or received in return and accounts with a credit in the account when that started happening banks became.

influenced in the sense that they they received an incentive to start handing out loans to people that weren't actually covered by gold they just created money out of thin air and that's what caused. inflation. and then some banks started to go bankrupt their bank runs when people found out that their bank had created so much money out of thin air that they were well backing was so low that it became a risk to put your money to keep your money in that bank and when that happened banks are lobbying with the government to create a central bank and the purpose of the central bank was to make rules that all the banks now have to follow as to how much they could inflate how much money they could print out of thin air so that with that all the banks would inflate together at the same rate so that the risk of bank runs would now disappear and that's

what's happened and as a result inflation has become rampant if you look at the value of our currency today compared to the value of currency hundred years ago. about ninety nine percent of the value of the currency has disappeared and that's because of inflation and that's that's because the government has allowed bangs to create money out of thin air it's a government issue privilege to the banks and the banks are happy to to take advantage of it. and of course government is not the creation of money now only the central bank has a right to create money and central bang. it's a do what is called quantitative easing which is a very nice word what it really means is. is is creating money out of thin air in a way you could actually call it counterfeit money because what is counterfeit money it's money that isn't backed by anything that's just a worthless piece of paper but that's what the government is doing to us and we all

understand that counterfeiting is a bad thing and why is it a bad thing because the counter fitter get something for nothing. and all the people who have save money lose outs when counterfeiting. is allowed to occur and a lot of people start counterfeiting what it means is all the people to save their money are no losing and the counterfeiters are getting something for nothing and it's very distorted because people now receive an incentive to become kind of critism selves right to do productive work but that's exactly what the government does with central banking and government has now monopoly in counterfeiting they have the right to create money out of thin air just worthless pieces of paper and as a result all the people who save money. are watching their savings disappear there are savings become worth less and less and the and the government is getting something for nothing and it's very distorted because now a lot of people stop doing productive work they start working for the government or they start selling services or products to the government they can become part of

the military industrial complex to make money off government so it's a very distorted process and not only is the distortive but it creates the business cycle because when central banks inflates create huge amounts of money out of thin air they create bubbles and these bubbles cannot last forever they must burst and when the bubble bursts that's when we have a recession as we have a depression it is really. very comparable to a knuckle holic who drinks too much alcohol and isn't a receipt the next day he has a he has a hangover that's that's what basically what our recession is it's the hangover and the the money creation the credit expansion is like the the that's the also gives you and the problem that alcoholics have is that when the are getting a hangover they are very tempted to take more alcohol because they can delay the effects of the hangover and that's what our governments are doing as well our

central banks are trying to solve the crisis by printing even more money but that only makes the. worse in the long run it's only a very temporary measure but it's only kicking the can down the road so the only real solution to this problem is to end this government privilege of current of creating money out of thin air and go back to a situation or money's worth something ramoni is covered by something it can be gold it could be silver could be a any other thing that has intrinsic value but as long as government is allowed to keep on printing counterfeit money that's worth nothing that whose only value is based on the fact that they have a monopoly on creating it and they can put anybody in jail that is counterfeiting except themselves as long as that is the basis for money we will be in this business cycle why should libertarian principles be used to help solve the problems in europe the free market is the best system that we have to create products and

services to to enrich our lives to make sure that we live long and happy and prosperous lives because the free market is a system that is based on voluntary cooperation in a free market every turns action between two or more people requires a voluntary consent of each of the people involved and that means that they all expect to be better off their own spec to be happier as a result so as a result any turns action a free market is bound to add to the happiness and prosperity of the of the individual people involved in the transaction and when you allow an entire nation to reap the benefits of the free market everybody in the long run will benefit to become better off and lead happier more prosperous lives and government to vention always goes against that principle government pension is based on force would you say that modern day europe has drifted away from liberty there is a lot of positive developments but there is also negative developments the pull the

. were comes to privacy our right to privacy versus the government that's a right that is completely being neurotic. did over the last thirty years government has the idea that they have the right to know everything and that either we have nothing to hide in which case we don't need privacy or we have something to hide which case we don't deserve privacy so when governments bill politicians talk about privacy in a new privacy laws they're always talking about how private should be protected amongst the people how corporations and companies should be stopped from and to invade the privacy of citizens but government of engine of our privacy that's something that is is occurring more and more over the last thirty years another very worrisome development is the european union. because up until now. actually up until one thousand nine hundred two is a better year to pick. the european. economic community the

e.c. was a force for the good at the time what the e.c. did was reduced trade barriers to zero richer is reduced terrorist as your reader reduced trade quotas to zero. and promote things like free movement of capital and people and goods and services that was a good idea at the time the e.c. was was was advancing individual liberty that's changed that project basically was finished in one thousand nine hundred two and what those european bureaucrats should have done is said ok we're our job is done let's all go home let's find a real job to productively that's not what happened what happened at the euro kratz have started the new project which is basically the creation of the united states of europe and it's a very gradual thing it doesn't happen overnight but what we see is that they're trying to raise competition amongst member states right now we have competition right now every member state to set their own tax rates right now every country commit to make their own rules and as a result there is competition and this competition has been extremely helpful and

the euro kratz would like to reverse the process they would like to end tax competition. they would also like to end competition as to the level of regulation they would like to have a european union that sets tax rates on the european level they would like to have your opinion the man has the same rules all over the european union and eradicate competition they want to stablish a cartel so freedom is lost and prosperity will be lost if that happens and that's why most of the terence are very skeptical about this project of european integration because what it really is is a cartel they're trying to form a cartel so that we can't escape them anymore we can't we can't move anymore to another country to escape high taxes thank you very much for speaking to us today but it was a pleasure you're very welcome. choose
