just joined us lovely to have you with us sit sick kevin or when you're at our tea tonight in moscow the time not just after nine pm our top story the financial heart of the eurozone under siege today with thousands of anti a sturdy protest is descending on vital banking institutions in the city of frankfurt riot squads have been out in force bracing themselves for clashes with water cannon and police dog units at the ready peter all of the reports than from germany's financial hub thousands of demonstrators have come out onto the streets of frankfurt's on friday to take part in block twenty thirteen they've essentially shut off access to the european central bank which has its headquarters here in the german city front but is of course home to many large banks one of the world's largest banking sectors not like thousands have come out to voice their anger against the banking sector and the way that europe's financial institutions are in their right being mismanaged also. drawing people's anger has been. the latest big

is coming out so we're going to see unemployment in the euro so now we're hearing all of a staggering nearly twenty million people out soup work inside the countries that make up the monetary union just twelve just over twelve percent of the population now to find out just why people are here in front good to demonstrate i'm joined by contadina prince paid from the left policy in germany the student wing of the left thank you very much for talking to me. why are people coming out in such numbers to to vent their anger i think what is happening here in frankfurt today is if there are twenty million people have employed in the eurozone especially young people we understand that there are no solution no national solution since crisis we understand that there has to be international solidarity and international szabo if we act alone for common the banking crisis and our city politics that have been completely destroying the social states around the around europe do you think

that's a concern amongst the young that those levels of unemployment so we're seeing in the southern european countries like your own could eventually migrate to the problem yes so it's already happening it's i mean germany is not a paradise in europe anymore that. the wages in germany at extremely low compared to that for the t.v. level and young people i know two thirds of students have to work in terms of finance their studies people have very very bad working conditions they were simply can't stop the terror in very very few and although the social state in germany still exists it will not last forever if we don't do anything cuts it in offense but from the the students winning over the left body in germany thank you very much for talking to me to put some of those figures into a little bit more context twenty million we're talking about the population of a a large european nation a whole house of work and that's being coupled with just recent news of a rise in full. ation around the eurozone most most notably when it comes to food

just last month alone the price of the food rising by three point three percent so all of these problems seem to be increasing and that's why we're seeing more and more people coming out to show just how unhappy they are with the current situation . well according to organizers protests a small walks of life across europe descended on frankfurt but what do they think they can really achieve that's the question let's try to get some answers michael ross he's chief editor of the european financial blog m.m.u. you say that michael kind of ironic isn't it that they're carrying out these protests against austerity in the country that almost kind of got it right about and it's also at the same time a little bit late i mean five years now we're having a financial crisis and it's only know that the leftist groups have discovered this theme for their own aims so my opinion is ok we have some strange pictures there out of frankfurt but it doesn't represent the mood of the vast majority of the

people here. to give you an example if they sell something to do with bankruptcy i mean if somebody is bankrupt the protests are senseless the bank will see bankruptcy this is what we have in greece and spain mourners ireland portugal you name it and so what to do i mean we in the western world have one problem we are all over debt and when your neighbors over debt you won't give him any more euro or dollar and that's a problem where we are but there are a lot of people literate streatley upset about it of course are they wasting their time though protesting like this as far as your concern. i mean we have to face the real problem the really the real cause of the problem and it's a monetary system problem it's not only a financial system problem it's a problem of over debt and the question what is coming next i mean the e.c.b. and the governments of they don't want to really they want to spend money but they

cannot do it anymore because otherwise we wouldn't have the crisis so we have really to to think oh i think it all over again and ask yourself is this capitalistic model is still working or if we are more or less in an end faces and. when we look at the figures not only in europe take also japan take america united states of america fifty million food stamps there this is not an aside so we are we have all the same problem and maybe the occupy and these protests that we see are only the beginning of a vast protest and demonstration all over the europe all over europe but also all over the world in jan and united states as well and just focusing back in on europe for a minute of course is rumbling worry as well with youth unemployment i make here in those figures no new unemployment record a sad record it is isn't it twelve point two percent out of work twenty five

percent youth unemployment that's the worry isn't it social unrest. no of course i mean if you are bankrupt then you lose your job then politicians and governments are not able to produce any more to make new employ to to make children create more work and this is a problem where we have even i don't have an exact answer to these problems i only think that it can become worse in the future and with money printing and money spending alone you cannot serve anything because this is exactly what has led us to this problem so i ask myself what do these protesters really want and also they are not representing the majority of the people here in germany and i think also not the majority of the people in europe they are fearing for their pensions for their savings i mean it's easy to protest against banks but if you let them go bankrupt

then the whole system collapses in one second and this is the dilemma in which we are possible she senator of a european financial news think she saw last night. thank you. hard line jihadist group this fighting among the syrian rebels has been put on the united nations blocked list by the security council the decision comes a day after turkish media said that members of the about illness or were caught with a cylinder of the international banned nerve gas sarin earlier this month your investigators voice suspicion that the illegal gas was being used by opposition fighters in syria the latest reports prompted a strong reaction from russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov says it's time to stop playing games on the issue of syria's chemical weapons demanding a thorough investigation into every case of a use. your book of. we've warned repeatedly of provocations connected with chemical weapons we've also insisted on investigations into any case related to

their possible use including the incident reportedly took place near aleppo we're very disappointed that because of political games the u.n. has failed to act on this we expect our turkish colleagues to quickly provide a full report on this latest case this issue ation is too serious for those who constantly talk about the chemical weapons problem to keep playing games around it each and every incident needs to be investigated again whether chemical weapons were used as a story that's been rumbling around for a while in march this year of course you must forget the syrian government appealed to the u.n. calling for investigation to alleged use of chemical weapons in a rebel attack near aleppo we brought extensive coverage on that now according to officials and the military experts around two dozen people were killed by nerve gas then they think that agent used at the time again was sarin sarin is being classified as a weapon of mass destruction of banned weapons of mass destruction now since the early one nine hundred ninety s. in fact and it's not the first time it's allegedly been use one of the most

notorious cases of its use you may recall as well about five thousand people died was back in one nine hundred ninety eight then an ethnic kurds city in northern iraq was bombarded by cluster bombs again they think the ages. used was sarin and also thinking of other times it was used this highly toxic agent remember back in the mid ninety's in japan the tokyo underground cemeteries laid off then again thirteen people died in that occasion where beirut based political analyst. believes a mixture of chemical weapons and the increasing influence of al qaeda terrorists in syria is a bad mix and it could spell region wide problems and the consequences. are going to be a mallet in the. attic for all parties engage in the conflict it is also going to be. very decisive for the opposition's future.

i think nowadays the opposition. is not is no longer in the hands of those we see on t.v. or attending meetings for syria. the reality on the ground in whether it's in syria or in some parts of lebanon is about the nuts and al qaeda actively at present and will dictate the future of the region and the future of this call the revolution. the you can give the final go ahead to a new set of sanctions against syria which will come into force on saturday the no longer include the arms embargo which paves the way for european states to supply the syrian rebels with leave alarms or to go pers can off takes a look now at the syrian opposition and those who might be armed on its behalf. since britain and france blocked attempts to extend the e.u. embargo on supplying arms to the syrian rebels there have been growing fears that the weapons could end up in the wrong hands and this is why the syrian opposition

is made up of many divided and often competing factions and truly there's no force that can represent it as a whole there's the syrian national council the national coalition for syrian revolutionary and opposition forces the supreme military council the free syrian army the international coordination committee the. brigade and many more and i'd like to point out that only the n.c.c. says it's open to dialogue with the authorities while all the others have officially proclaimed their goal is to topple the regime the only difference being how extreme their approaches are and here is where these two rebel groups stand out . is officially recognized as a terror organization by the u.s. it's also known for its links to al qaeda and for being among the most highly trained rebel forces currently on the ground in syria and the fire brigade perhaps just as notorious after one of its leading commanders was shown eating the body

parts of a dead syrian soldier on video but despite warnings raised by international human rights groups including the international and human rights watch the rebels have been receiving weapons for some time now according to western media reports the rebels have received one hundred sixty planeloads of arms shipments from jordan saudi arabia quarter via turkey and then with a cargo smuggled across the border here with syria but no matter which rebel group or the arms may be destined for it's also widely recognized that they usually end up in the hands of the best trained and most radical brigades. barack obama promised to speed up closing guantanamo bay more than a week ago but dunga strike situation the prisons only deteriorating now not a single inmate believes the pledge is enough to break the months long protest against mistreatment and indefinite detention the number of protesters being force fed a procedure considered as torture by the un has increased to five thirty six now more

inmates have had to be taken to hospital as well we spoke to the father of guantanamo prisoners who also heads the kuwaiti detainees in guantanamo committee khalid unloaded told us what happened to his son after he resorted to starvation my son been there for eleven years without having justice and he is there. without committing any crime no charges again it's against him it is very difficult for him to tell me what's going on there because there is a surveillance on the there is the restrictions for all the detainees not to talk about the conditions inside the camp but i can tell by the way he looks he was so skinny this is the first time for him to put some glasses on his eyes. it looks he looks horrible. he could not

concentrate while he's talking to me. i have sometimes to repeat simple sentences to him. two all two three times just to bring his attention so he could understand what i am saying he has i lack of nutrition it affected his body his thinking his brain which is really really we are very concerned very concerned about is the life. and britain's abroad in a robot its own them oh clone after it was revealed that up to ninety afghan nationals a big detained in secret without charge of the u.k.'s camp bastion base so have been held there for more than a year now but we corbin says similarities between the facilities are striking people are collected or rested as enemy combatants held for very long periods

and not allowed normal judicial process just as we've gone. and i think that the legacy of two thousand and one of guantanamo. and the extraordinary rendition process is something that's going to live for a very long time international law has been seriously undermined by britain and the usa and their behavior over afghanistan for the past twelve years the afghan government is supposed to be in charge of the country and those british american and many other soldiers allegedly fighting to protect this government they claim they can't hold prisons over this government they'll be tortured but instead they're held illegally in these two bases. still ahead for the cell on the streets of a disc it's of frantic man who claims to have killed hundreds back in his native kenya but he's allowed to stay in the u.k. because of european agreements out of its control spike in search of a public safety also reporting to the joys the gulf white trying to control his

internet with new laws to punish social of news websites for publishing anything the state sees as a threat just a couple of stories coming up after this quick break. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize that everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm tom harpur welcome to the big picture. is he.

or me this is ours with. all of. us declared a state of emergency in the north after days of gold mine workers protests or at least fifty five injured but i'm also captured a government building in the southern city to demanding prisoners released out sometime in the last couple of hours across the story. according to the latest information we have from a variety of news sources including local journalists on the ground that we've

managed to get in touch with around two thousand protesters attempted to storm the mine in eastern standard salting in violent clashes with riot police at the at the site dozens were wounded including protesters and police exchanges of rubber bullets stun grenades and of stones one police bus was set on fire another was completely destroyed a state of emergency has been declared by the government in kurdistan the latest we're hearing from some of those news sources reports that most of those protesters have possibly now dispersed only the leaders remain and they say they'll stay there until their demands are met these follow earlier protests where protesters came to try and blockade the mine and cut the power to it earlier the canadian company centerra gold which owns the mine say's these actions are illegal but the protesters have a variety of demands of their own ranging from the redistribution of some of the

wealth from the mine to the state's budget increase social benefits nationalisation and concerns about the local ecology and lack of infrastructure the mind itself which brings about twelve percent into the money has been the subject of heated debate in may two thousand and twelve a similar protest your creations of a mind that was just one of a number of similar kinds of protests and the government very nervous about these kind of situations because of political unrest in the country in recent years ethnic uzbeks and clashed in the south of the country in two thousand and ten and those clashes followed the overthrow of the president also in two thousand and ten in a short but violent revolution. the government of qatar has approved tough new measures to monitor its citizens' online activity including comments posted on news websites and social media steps follow similar regulations in other gulf arab states to and

outlaw any material deemed a threat national security middle east analyst jamie ingram told us that while the bill may not be the death toll for freedom of speech just yet it could be a stepping stone to a further crackdown they've looked at their neighbors in bahrain and if you wait these are examples of parts that the country leaders do not want to go down yes this nor is it going to restrict freedom of speech but the levels to which to actually be implemented remain unclear they could just be hedging their bets for now in case they really do require. to calm down its freedom of speech online in the future does have a reputation for a relatively free media though this has all in recent years and then the law was reports it domestically as well so journalism as a whole doesn't have too much to worry about it might even be laurie's very brave and it's really up to the government censors security forces as to how they want to implement it. on the internet is just a tool for stirring up revolution the sea it's also a battlefield in itself the u.s.

britain's failure to expel immigrants who pose a per ten sure risk to society is again being brought sharply into focus as artist police reports next a mentally unstable man from kenya who says he's killed hundreds is now free to walk the streets of england. he says he's murdered up to four hundred people with a machete and his native kenya killed police and taken part in female genital mutilation but of course ruled that twenty seven year old john is free to stay in the u.k. he arrived illegally back in two thousand and three but when the home office tried to deport him he appealed and an immigration tribunals ruled that hugo suffers from schizophrenia and had made up the atrocities he was granted leave to remain in the u.k. because he's at risk of committing suicide if he returns to kenya you would think this is not appropriate to bring him back. if you look at the european convention

of human rights it is possible for him to stay here because criminal of this. we've seen. he. he's going to be. and that's the problem john is that the fust potentially dangerous individual that the home office of tried and failed to deport jordanian terrorist suspect abu qatada has avoided extradition for over a decade patatas lawyers argue it's against his human rights to return to jordan where he could face torture not all the countries signed up to the european convention on human rights choose to follow it the french and italian governments deport dangerous individuals first and then hear their appeals i think one of the problems we have this country is but often is drastically wrong we don't seem to want to find the adequate solution or effective solution for the problem. all this

problem is bigger. in the sense that the streets. people but it did happen over here and. leverage b. was hyped to death in broad daylight by two men. wielding meat cleavers the murder sect the country the suspects have been known for her received and questions have been asked about whether or not the police could have done more to the men in mind and yes a week later we learned that a mentally unstable man who claims to have killed hundreds of people gets to stay in the u.k. the ruling once again raises questions about his safety that british immigration judges are protecting. ati in london. news or briefs in our dramatic pictures here a small passenger plane ran out of fuel mid-flight friday before plummeting into the living room of this house outside washington d.c. two people were injured in the accident one on board the cessna the other in the

apartment mostly crews and helping several adults and children forced to evacuate the building. running street battles have broken out between protesters and police in the streets of istanbul leaving dozens injured including a kurdish empty the violence was triggered as environmentalist tried to save apart from being turned into a shopping mall forced from the area but police the protests have since broadened into a more general rally against the use of this government. now it's hard to crunch the numbers here a lot see a financial show probably interest on a just a couple of minutes from now. destruction is one thing the media does very well we all tend to focus on one spicy

issue of the moment and ignore the rest jewels are definitely worth the media attention but let's not ignore the fact that the food people eat around the world is an attack from multiple fronts antibiotics are often overused and cattle which can and eventually sadly will lead to anti biotics resistant bacteria if. animals are also injected with various hormones which can make their way into our stomachs and speaking of mysterious things getting into our body pretty much any crops that you we are doused with all sorts of pesticides and sit on top of powerful fertilizers which can affect bodies of water far beyond the fence of the farm obviously technology has been and should be used in farming so we all don't starve i get why pesticides exist and why they start giving diseased animals antibiotics but there comes a point where out putting a lot of poisonous food will kill you just as dead as slowly starving will there is a healthy middle ground out there somewhere but if we only worry about just the g m o's and only won that battle then we'll still be eating food loaded with bad stuff

just other bad stuff but that's just my opinion. good afternoon to welcome to prime interest i'm perry and boring in washington d.c. let's get to our headlines. paul volcker made some controversial statements yesterday the x. federal reserve chairman who is most famous for whipping inflation then by raising short term interest rates to twenty percent he criticized bernanke he's pedal to the metal bond buying saying that there are risk of inflationary potential and speculative distortions he also said central banks tend to be slow to remove stimulus no kidding paul but we do enjoy our central bankers talking tough from time to time and don't fret viewers because if you're

a former general and cia chief who resigned in disgrace well there's still a way for you to cash out another revolving door david petraeus has now joined the private equity giant hey are you following in the footsteps of james baker the third and dan quayle the lucrative private equity field will help him capitalize on his substantial connections and according to bloomberg a former general will be chairman of a new internal institute focused on macro economic forecast public policy advice up on investments in emerging markets and community. but we do know that it was his communications with all the broadwell that got him in hot water in the first place . let's get to what's in your prime interest.
