a very warm welcome to you if you've just joined us here on our t.v. your with me to on was a live from moscow headquarters. europe's banking capital is gearing up for another day of street blockades with angry crowds protesting against the way the e.u. financial woes are being handled thousands cut off access to frankfurt its main financial institutions on friday voicing their anger against the european central bank over the painful austerity measures that are affecting millions across the continent artie's preacher all over reports. front that is close to many large chunks one of the world's largest banking sectors not thousands have come out to. against the banking sector the way that europe's financial institutions are in their eyes being mismanaged also. drawing people's anger has been the latest big is coming out so

we're gonna 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 put in space from the left policy in germany the student. 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 young people we understand that there are no solution no national solution citizen crisis we understand that there has to be international solidarity and international strabo if we act the banking crisis and there are seventy 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 sitting 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 at the young people i met two thirds of students had to work in terms of finance their studies people had very very bad working conditions they were job and then very very few and although of the social state in germany still exists it will not last forever if we don't do anything today in offense before the. the student wing of 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 all out of 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 i

mean 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. michael emraan from the european financial blogger my muses as the endurance we're seeing in fine fettle is just the beginning of a global i'm prizing against financial tyranny and i think this is one step more towards in the euro zone the eurozone you has nothing to do with democracy anymore and what i fear most is that all this crisis is you a crisis leads to a structure that's 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 there could people in front of us like in the form of politicians and political decides what's going

on i think that's not good for the future take also jeff take america united states of america fifty million food stamps there this is not a no sign so we are we have all of 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 jet pan and united states as well. well this content grows on the streets of europe there widely in cracks on the political level and the latest round brussels has been accused of a land grab complaint coming from the u.k. after the european commission took the country to court to defend the rights of easy it isn't living in the country it came to britain is discriminating against people from the e.u. countries while london says it will find every step of the way to protect its own laws are disaster so your reports. european commission is once again looking more

closely at the affairs of its member states now one that's making particular noise especially while the citizens of that country is the commission's decision to launch a case against the u.k. of the european court of justice because the commission says that the u.k. has the discriminatory against nationals of other e.u. countries in receiving welfare now there's already been reaction from the u.k. particularly angry ones from the government one from the work and pensions secretary who says that he will not cave in he says a brussels is once again launching a land grab and over reaching its areas of responsibilities and meddling into the affairs of national governments now we have spoken to a legal expert to explain to us why the commission has done what it has the commission can store them action against member states do not for treaty obligations we have an article in the treaty on the functioning of the european union specifically for that action this is a case where the commission has found out that the u.k. is not fulfilling its radio because we. know that he wants to have

a referendum in two thousand and seventeen you want to renegotiate the tradition. i mean the british government in the past has criticised the court of justice but the law is there the law is respect to this latest move by brussels has once again brought to the forefront issues like sovereignty of member states immigration or the pressure put on social welfare systems the very issues that really have led to an increase in support for euro skeptic parties and countries like the u.k. now can the commission is looking also at another country and it says that it has received complaints of the e.u. insurance health card which is supposed to entitle you citizens to free health care in public hospitals while they're traveling to other countries within the block and it has been refused by some spanish hospitals oh this is once again an issue of decisions made and agreed upon here in brussels and the implementation across the block so one the one hand you have the commission maintaining that it's simply implementing the rules on the other you have. brussels is once again dipping into

the affairs of national governments and in the context of the great economic crisis and very public displays of social dissatisfaction this is yet another stress test for the e.u. as it tries to move forward reporting from brussels. later today they see her to look at some of the unconventional ways in which the greeks are hoping to dig their way out of the debt crisis. greece we are camps for poor taxpayers so if you owe back taxes and you don't have any money to pay it well the government is looking for an army camp in the attic or region two people who have debts to the tax authorities serving their sentence confirm the deputy minister for justice in the greek parliament now he's saying this is a more humane solution because they're building these unique death camps. at a former army base but there won't be any rapists and murderers and other sorts in

there so we'll just be these bad but sure going that this is compare and contrast here's a country iceland maintain its sovereignty number one and then recapitalized their smooth sailing toward growth period with their currency intact and employment is looking good where is greece because as part of the i.m.f. the troika the international global banking terrorism network they are there now being asked to be shipped off to death camps. international peace talks on syria that were originally set for early this month now looks set to be postponed syria's main opposition group says it want to either and the enter negotiations until the lebanese group hezbollah stops fighting alongside syrian government troops meanwhile it's been confirmed that several foreign nationals including an american woman and a u.k.

citizen have been killed of fighting on the side of the rebels artie's marina has the details. the american woman that killed fighting alongside opposition forces in syria has been identified as thirty three year old nicole lynn mansfield her driver license photo in which she's pictured wearing a headscarf was broadcast by a syrian television station mansfield reportedly converted to islam after falling in love and marrying an arab immigrant according to her family mansfield of forced that man three years ago now the u.s. is reportedly working in via the czech republic mission in syria to obtain more information about mansfield's but this is not the first case of an american fighting in syria earlier this year eric harroun a former u.s. soldier made headlines when he posted videos of himself online in which he appeared to be fighting with rebel groups holding weapons and driving with fighters through

contested parts of syria. your days are numbered you're going down in flames you should just quit now while you can and leave you're going to die no matter what where you go we will find you and kill you ironically the u.s. state department recently demanded that hezbollah immediately withdraw its fighters from syria saying that their involvement on the side of president assad signaled broadening of the war but in the meantime the u.s. state department it seems can't keep track of its own citizens involvement in the civil war reporting from new york we're in a port not party. the news of the westerners killed fighting for the syrian rebels backs up a recent study that showed hundreds of europeans have traveled to syria since the start of the civil war to fight against peasant ehsaan tree jame that is of the largest number believed to have come from the u.k.

and the latest incident involving an american woman shows that the conflict is getting more internationalized assessed even is enos but us off politics at the university of san francisco. well there have been foreign fighters coming in know more and more the majority of people the armed resistance of course are syrians but increasingly we are seeing some westerners involved as well. you know this is it is fairly unusual though to actually have americans coming in in fact ironically just as there are some elements within the u.s. government pushing for greater u.s. involvement support the rebels we have other branches the government that have actually been a intercepting in prosecuting americans that have sought to join some of the more extreme elements of the opposition with a lifting of the e.u. embargo with a lot of domestic pressure against the obama administration which up to this point has been some reluctant to get more involved i'm afraid we are going to indeed see more and more western intervention in a greater and greater internationalization of this. protests advocating a stance

tried to refuse the process of having a tube repeatedly forced down our noses and down our throats in order to keep us in a state of semi starvation is extremely painful now they also describe this treatment which involves a to being force or through their nose and throat as abusive and extremely painful the latter finishes of by accusing medics of performing i'm ethical treatment experiments and putting the duty to the military above the duty as a doctor's earlier we talked to and richardson an attorney for a guantanamo detainee who described what her client has been subjected to. if you to knees are really attempting to have treatment be restored to them as human beings and rather than being punished and treated like animals i have had my client tell me many times they treat animals better than they are treating the detainees my client has been kept in solitary confinement many of his items were taken away

from him including attorney client mail he was not allowed to have a tooth brush toothpaste or so in his cell for many many weeks i don't know yet even if he's gotten them for this day and they have made the conditions a dime's very reason cold for them in the cells they are requiring that they submit to their humiliating searches of their genital area in order to meet with their attorneys or talk with them on the telephone. it is just humiliating it's been difficult for them to sleep at night they are sometimes taken for their showers in the middle of the night so they have to decide between sleep and getting a little bit of a climate that's it's just been very cute though. back to you of now where the financial crisis has led to some of those in charge having to cut back on luxuries as french president francois hollande to me says i am contributions at an auction selling vintage wine from his collection with the earnings are going towards

a member of nato and the policies carrying out by the government of turkey are seen as largely being policies that serve the the bankers and the corporations on wall street and in london and also go to aid israel and they don't directly the people of turkey and they don't practice solidarity and ultimately the people of turkey see that it's not in their interests that the policies coming out of the turkish government at this time are not in america it's in the interests of the rich and they're fighting against them it's a very you know economically desperate situation for millions of turkish people there's high unemployment there's poverty and that's causing the people to go out into the streets and demonstrate you know that's that's the that's that's the powder keg that has been lit and we're seeing the explosion now. i know i've said r.t. dot com you going to find a lot of odd. days on the end rest in turkey as police continue their clampdown. protesters besieging a gold mine in north kurdistan have promised to restore electricity at the facility that's according to the country's prime minister as a day of emergency and

likes music but far from it one likes to pay for it and why bother so many different online file swappers and torrent websites that offer your favorite tunes for free online piracy has become so widespread in russia even experienced and internationally playing bands have long stopped counting on any serious profit from the seals there. well for russian people it's kind of obvious to download music for free now on the internet and they don't have. such thing in their mentality as if you're a support. artist you like you. records online buy c.d.'s vinyls and stuff like that so. this is not happening here how do you end up making money. concerts according to official statistics the shocking ninety nine percent of online media content in russia is counterfeit and nearly seven out of ten citizens openly admit they download for free when the social mogul movement

the financial losses that just as big as the black market itself and not only for cinema but music literature everything connected with intellectual property it's simply impossible to calculate how much we will lose until it's legalized. the illegal media market doesn't just sap the entertainment industry's profits but it's also affecting the way future projects are financed it's no secret a big blockbuster movie needs a big budget the decorations alone need sufficient investment of both craft and cash to completely transport the audience to a whole other reality but right now in russia this cinema magic is a largely possible due to state funding since private investors are mostly scared away by piracy. last year alone the russian government invested over two hundred million dollars in the film in the. but even that level of investment struggles to tempt audiences back into theaters and we've seen the pirates. now the president's
