tonight protesters proceed to the euro zone's financial capital while ranks of riot police with attack dogs and water cannon at the ready in case the passions get out of hand. russia calls for an end to political games over chemical weapons in syria raising concerns over the reported arrests of al qaeda linked syrian militants with highly poisonous salary gas. and a state of emergency in kurdistan as hundreds of furious gold mine workers cause a blackout at the facility and attempts to force its canadian owners to share the well.

if you just joined us this is r.t. live from moscow is kevin owen here tonight at r t h q just after ten pm first the financial heart of the eurozone is under siege today with thousands of protesters descending on vital banking institutions in the city of frankfurt right squads are out in force to bracing themselves for clashes with water cannon and police dog units at the ready participator all over reports than from germany's financial hub thousands of demonstrators have come out onto the streets of run goods 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 and that's why thousands have come out to voice their anger against the banking sector and the way that europe's finance. being mismanaged also. showing people's anger has been the latest big is coming out with 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 principle 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 but there are i think what is happening here in frankfurt today if there are twenty million people have employed in the eurozone especially. we understand that there are no solution no national solution since prices we understand that there has to be international solidarity and international strabo. the banking crisis and there are several key politics that have been completely destroying the social states around and around europe do you think it's

a concern amongst the young that those levels of unemployment that we 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 that. the wages in time of the extremely low compared to that for the t.v. level and at the young people i met two thirds of students had to work in terms of finance their studies people have very very bad working conditions they were jobs and and very very few and although of the social state in time it still exists in a lot last forever if we don't do anything today an offense before 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 hour. go to work and that's being coupled with just recent news of a rise in inflation around the eurozone most most notably when it comes to food and

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 the latest e.u. crisis plan indorsed by france and germany calls for the creation of a so-called eurozone boss a figure that would be able to make decisions when national leaders can't agree but michael ross from european financial blogger news told me he sees it as another attempt to cattell the democratic process. i think this is one step more twats in the euro zone the eurozone n.t.e.u. has nothing to do with democracy anymore and what i fear most is that all this crisis as you will cries is leads to structures which are far far away from democracy i mean i don't want a eurozone boss i want somebody whom i can believe whom i can trust and who i'm

also able to elect but what's going on at the moment is that it puts people in front of us like in the form i.e. u.t. as a lark on the farm when you do as our politicians and political you cite what's going on i think that's not good for the future are they wasting their time though protesting like this as far as you're concerned 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 is so we have really two 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 phase is 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 of the same problem and maybe the rock you pile on 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 japan and the united states as well. a hard line jihadist group is fighting among the syrian rebels has been put on the united nations blacklist by the security council the decision comes a day after turkish media said that members of job were caught with a cylinder of internationally banned nerve agent sarin and just once when investigators voice suspicion that illegal gas was being used by opposition fighters in syria the latest reports prompted a strong react. and then from russian foreign minister sergei lavrov said it's time to stop quote playing games on the issue of syria's chemical weapons demanding a thorough investigation into every case of the use. in your book that. 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 well let's examine the history of sarin a bit more shall we back in march this year the syrian government appealed to the un for an investigation into the alleged use of sarin gas in aleppo by rebels. according to officials of military experts around two dozen people died then and i think the nerve agent used indeed was sarin nerve sarin has been outlawed as we were saying just now by the international community is a band weapon of mass destruction in fact since the one nine hundred ninety if it had been used in aleppo it isn't the first time it's been used it was also used you

may recall very notorious case of its use in one thousand nine hundred eight in a northern kurdish city in northern iraq it was bombarded by cluster bombs five thousand died then back in one thousand nine hundred eighty eight and also a case back in the mid ninety's in japan a religious sect at the time released it into a couple of the tunnels of the city's metro thirteen died there if it gets into the wrong hands then it's a big worry and that's a worry of voice rula tard she believes chemical weapons in the hands of al-qaeda linked militia in syria could be a region wide headache if it happened. the consequences are going to be dramatic in the. magic for all parties engaged in the conflict it is also going to be. very decisive for the opposition's future. i think that with days the opposition. is no is

no longer in the hands of those we see on t.v. or attending meetings for syria. the real reality on the ground in whether it's in syria or in some parts of lebanon is about another and al qaida actively present and will dictate the future of the region and the future of this called revolution will a strong to this long running story the cancels know given the final go ahead to a new set of sanctions against syria which will come into force on saturday the buttons no longer include the arms embargo of course which paves the way therefore for european states to supply the syrian rebels with lethal arms are physical person off takes a look at now at the syrian opposition those that might be armed on its behalf if it happened. 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 why we recognize that they usually end up in the hands of the best trained and most radical brigades. you know to next cross-talk it looks at whether america's policies in the middle east actually work in the countries favor. u.s. interests are not being absolute u.s. economic corp and other interests are not being adverse by the policies we're applying and the approach we're taking towards the middle east it comes completely

at odds we're simply saying something with how we're on doing what that was all there one big exception is the huge influential industry known as the arms industry you go. more of the next but next barack obama promised to speed up closing guantanamo bay more than a week ago but the hunger strike situation at the prison is only deteriorating still not a single in made believes the pledges anough to break their months long protest against mistreatment of indefinite detention the number of protesters being force fed a procedure considered as torture by the un indeed it has now increased to thirty six more inmates have had to be taken to hospital as well r.t. spoke to the father of guantanamo a prisoner who also heads the kuwaiti detainees in guantanamo committee his name is khaled bellowed he told me 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 that 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 if this is the first time for him to put some glasses on his eyes. 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 to three times just to bring his attention so he could understand what i am saying he has

a lack of nutrition it affected his body his thinking his brain which is really really we are very concerned very concerned about is life meantime britain's in brawls in iraq but it's. close enough to reveal that up to ninety afghan nationals have been detained in secret without charge at the u.k.'s camp bastion base some of been held there a deed for more than a year british m.p. jeremy call been told the similarities between the facilities are striking. people are collected all rested as enemy combatants held for very long periods and not allowed normal judicial process just 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 on the streets of england a schizo frantic man who claims to have killed hundreds back in his native kenya but he's allowed to stay u.k. because of european agreements out of its control despite the concerns of a public safety we examine and joystiq gulf white friend to control its internet with new laws to punish social and news websites for publishing anything that the state sees as a threat that story's coming up his. language

as well but i will only react to situations i have read the reports so i'm like. no i will leave that to the state department to comment on your latter point. to carry out a call as i'm going to talk you know if i. think you know more weasel words. when you read question the prepared for a change when you punch be ready for a. critical speech. on the freedom to question. science technology innovation all the least developments from around russia we've. covered. wealthy british.

the state of emergency in the north today's a gold mine workers protests at least fifty five people were injured because of it and also captured a government building in a southern city demanding a prisoner release 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 stand resulting 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 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 sent terror 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 the steps follow similar regulations in other gulf arab states and outlaw any material being to threaten national security middle east analyst jim 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 and they've looked at their neighbors in bahrain and in kuwait 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 it to actually be implemented remain unclear they could just be hedging their bets for now in case they really do require. to come down on its freedom of speech online in the future does have a reputation for

a relatively free media this house for them 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 at the moment it always very very it's really up to the government censors security forces as to how they want to implement it. course the internet isn't just a tool of stirring up revolutions it's also a battlefield in excel first before the u.s. is set to plough billions of dollars into boosting its cyber warfare capacity creating a dozen specialist teams to launch offensive against overseas targets we talk about the more our website was on air with us last night more of it online also that to the father of a chechen killed by the f.b.i. he suspects foul play his son was hit by seven bullets including one to the head during an interview held over his possible links to one of the boston bombers in r.t. dot com is the place for the whole story. this is. all

. britain's failure to expel immigrants who pose a potential risk to society is again being brought sharply into focus as artie's polyploid 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 a court ruled that twenty seven year old john few 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 person to bring into the problem if you look at the european convention of human rights it is possible for him to stay here because criminal of the sort we've seen in. this is one of those he. he's going to be. and that's the problem john the first potentially dangerous individual that the home office of tried and failed to deport jordanian terror suspect abu qatada has avoided extradition for over a decade qatar his 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 until something goes drastically wrong we don't seem to want to find the adequate solution or effective solution for the problem we tend to leave things as they are a list of problems big and off something really does go wrong in the sense that something like this goes on the streets. people but it did happen over here in the soldier lee rigby was hired to death in broad daylight by two men. wielding meat cleavers the murder suspect the country the suspects have been known for minorities and questions have been asked about whether or not the police could have done more to mend the murder and yet a week later we learn 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. r.t. in london. will lose a brief tonight running street battles have broken out to test his and police the

streets of istanbul leaving doesn't seem to be the violence was triggered as environmentalists tried to save apart from being turned into a shopping mall before from the area but police protests have since broadened into a more general rally against the islamist government. money pictures in a small plane ran out of fuel mid-flight on 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 emergency crews are now helping several adults and children forced to evacuate the building. a general strike in the northern spanish city of bilbao smoke billows thousands of people voicing their anger against austerity cuts the demonstration was organized by the bus countries to name trade unions more than forty percent of the region's population's jobless with over half of people aged between eighteen and twenty five now out of work. a video clip of russian policeman marching a group of people across the street in the moscow region's recaptured you tube

viewers imagination a flood of comments on the web of been coming in some saying it chillingly reminds them of the prisoners of war now artie's but in a culture never explains what really happened. this possible to see. some of the people right at the beginning of the column have their hands in their hands and the others on the shoulders of those in front of them now that video was instantly followed by a string of differing commons some sod said those people looked like prisoners self war and the others were just shocked by the scene but what happened in reality was that one hundred three people were detained by police in one of the markets in the moscow region and reportedly they were involved in a massive fight and they were among them now this is not an isolated case just this week police detained more than nine hundred illegal migrants in the north and part of the capital and incidents such as this happen olmos on a daily basis the problem of illegal immigration is

a very sensitive issue now the authorities say that it's a piece harmful for migrants working in moscow are present here illegally and the police says that the number of crimes committed by migrants increased by forty percent last year alone in particular one out of three robberies is committed by migrants so one of the reasons behind those quite drastic statistics really well first of all the visa free regime between russia and the c.i.s. countries where the ball the legal migrants are coming from and of course high level off on employment so while the reasons behind this are somewhat clear it is still unknown was the best way to solve this issue. fall is free for this half hour crime doesn't pay the say a lot of the phrase goes either way but russian police have found otherwise partly after hitting the jackpot during the investigation into an allegedly corrupt official bags of boxes stuffed with millions of rubles in fact the room for

thirty two minutes past ten pm here in the russian capital you're watching the business program with me that the shantz camp europe's unemployment hit a record the e.u. statistics office your stats said on friday that the total number of jobless is edging closer to twenty million people that's twice as many as the entire population of belgium across the seventeen member euro zone a youth unemployment is the most urgent problem in greece more than sixty two percent of people under the age of twenty five cannot find work in spain it's more than fifty six percent meal while inflation in the eurozone continues to grow according to the latest figures released on friday your sound blames this on rising food all kohol and tobacco prices but the very fact of a lower incomes coupled with higher prices is

a very volatile mix oh it earlier today asked steve steen jacobsen chief economist at saxo bank in copenhagen if the situation calls for coordinated effort from the european policymakers. that's mainly to use the fact that the unemployment. rules and regulations is a national theme so anything to do with unemployment in denmark in spain in it's italy will have to be dealt with by the virtue of the national assembly and politicians and that means the policy will be very different in shape and form and for the e.u. they can only issue guidelines as they've been doing recently to focus on youth unemployment to focus on the s. and mean side because we have to remember the as a me side is eighty percent of all jobs and sixty seven percent of people in jobs in in europe today so what we need is to free up the means to give them better

working conditions you mentioned use on employment a couple of times it is true that the unemployment is especially high among people under the age of twenty five and that means not only that they don't have a regular income but also that they cannot start their careers so how will that affect europe's economy in the longer run first of all we have to know the people best educated on employed use we have a hat they have really skilled food they're very qualified what they don't have as you state correctly is an access to a job but the possibility of getting a job we have seems to some extent that people from to solve the part of europe have moved towards germany denmark sweden certainly but overall and you have to remember this is probably the biggest loss we have if it is a spanish newspaper is not hiring any new journalist in twenty years time they'll be twenty years old are all having the same habits lacking the dynamics lacking the

innovation leg and the productivity so i also think you know the flip side of this news on employment will be that europe will continue to trail in terms of innovation and being aggressive in terms of his mandate for change. separative today euro stat said that for the month of may inflation in the euro zone rose and that basically means that we have. more jobless but higher prices and that seems like a dangerous mix are you expecting any social brewing as a result of that what is interesting about the social fabric i think we have to agree that we it's hard to understand why people is not already industry to some extent almost sixty percent use on employment in spain why on the youth there are demonstrating but we have seen realize what is going on here is that sixty fifty to sixty percent of europe is on entitlements meaning they are directly benefiting from transition from the government so it makes personally per perfectly rational

sense for these people not to be in the street because they are actually benefiting from the transfer of income from the state to themself and that is why this function of protest has been delayed in terms of its velocity and action but i think down the line we did this will lead to increased social tension but for now it's kept in place by the fact that that number of people in europe actually fifty to fifty five percent of your relation is directly benefiting from transfer from the government and how long do you expect them to continue benefiting like this it's very hard to say i'm to be honest personally slighted surprised we haven't seen more tension across europe certainly in southern europe but as you saw today there was. a huge amount of people rioting outside d.c. b. i think as we come into the orden we will have a late summer of discontent in terms of the lack of new action in terms of the

unemployment lack of understanding for wired low interest rate is not benefiting the eighty percent of the economy resists and remains the isn't me. and it's time now it is a quick look at the markets first to europe that really stole the spotlight on friday european stocks dropped as traders viewed record high unemployment obviously as a sign of weakness this marks chiu consecutive weekly losses for a london's footsie for the first time since november the european currency drop on friday from the highest level in about three weeks versus the dollar amid all the those disappointing statistics here last cruise you can see the ruble lost value to both the u.s. dollar and the euro on wall street where trade is in full swing this hour the main indices are lower the s. and p. was shedding value earlier but now the dow and the nasdaq are also trading below

the line and that's despite consumer confidence rising in me to the highest level in almost six years here in moscow the indices continued their sell off on friday ending the week at the lowest levels since mid april the r.t.s. lost almost twice as much as the my sex russia's second largest bank the t.v. was the only blue chip that managed to buck the downward trend none of this is surprising of course considering that emerging stocks extended the biggest monthly slide in about a year. the russians are some of the most generous to for years that's according to the latest survey from a travel website trip advisor it studied the tipping habits of travelers from eight countries including the united states u.k. france italy germany spain russia and brazil almost seventy percent of travelers from germany say they leave there to appease followed by the americans

russia's tourists ranked third with more than half of the respondents claiming that the always leave a tip and of the world's worst tippers surprisingly say talents. and that's the latest from the business team after a short break catch the latest edition of the truth seeker untenable. distraction is one thing the media does very well we all tend to focus on one space issue of the moment and ignore the rest jim those 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 in cattle which can and eventually said they will lead to anti biotics resistant bacteria evolving

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 and 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.
