the banking sector the way that europe's financial institutions are in their eyes being mismanaged also. showing people's anger has been the lake to speak 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 the left 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 is there are twenty million people have employed in the eurozone especially. we understand that there are no solution no national solutions to this crisis we understand that there has to be

international solidarity and international szabo if we act of overcome the banking crisis and our city 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 are extremely low compared to that for the t.v. level and young people i know two thirds of students have to work and earn to finance their studies people have very very bad working conditions there were things that can stop at the end very very few. 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 students are 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 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. out here all over will be updating us on the unrest in frankfurt throughout the day and you can also keep up with those protests on peter's twitter feed meanwhile michael ross from the european financial blog am news says the unrest we're seeing in frankfurt is just the beginning of a global uprising against financial terror any. i think this is one step more towards in the eurozone the eurozone and you has nothing to do with democracy anymore and what i fear most is that all this crisis if you will cause this 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 are people in front of us like in the home when you do this is where politicians and their political you cite what's going on i think that's not good for the future will take also jet 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 occupy and those 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 jeopardy and united states as well while this content grows on the streets of europe there are a widening cracks on the political level and the latest round brussels has been

accused of a land grab that complain coming from the u.k. after the european commission took the country to court to fan the riots of e.u. citizens living in the country it claims britain is discriminating against people from the other e.u. countries while london says it will fight every step of the way to protect its own lost artists are still you know reports. the european commission is once again looking more closely at the affairs of its member states now one that's making particular noise especially when the citizens of that country is the commission's decision to launch a case against the u.k. at the european court of justice because the commission says that the u.k. has been discriminatory against nationals of other e.u. countries and receiving welfare now there's already been reaction from the u.k. particularly angry ones from the government i want to from the work and pensions secretary who says that he will want cave in he says a brussels is once again launching a land grab and over reaching into 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. a case where the commission. for filling the treaty obligations we. know that he wants to have a referendum in two thousand and seventeen you want to renegotiate the tradition. i mean but the. 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 would increase and support for your skeptic parties and countries like the u.k. now can the commission is looking also at another country spain it says that it has received complaints of the e.u. insurance health card which is supposed to entitle e.u. 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 so one the one hand you have the commission maintaining that it's simply implementing the

rules on the other you have accusations that brussels is once again dipping into the affairs of national governments and in the context of a great economic crisis and very public displays of social dissatisfaction this is yet another stress test for the e.u. as a tries to move forward reporting from brussels i'm tosser cilia and next hour max kaiser and state her to look at some of the unconventional ways and which of greece are hoping to dig their way out of their debt crisis. restrains labor 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 it'll just be these bad but you're going with this is compare and contrast here's a country like iceland maintain its sovereignty number one and then recapitalized their smooth sailing toward growth period with their currency intact unemployment is looking good grace unfortunately is locked into the euro and they're just they've been taken over they become a vassal state from the i.m.f. and the from the troika these global institutions so they unfortunately lost their sovereignty. street protests or golfing turkish cities what started a few days ago was a peaceful environmental rally has snowballed into the largest outpouring of public anger the country has seen in years dozens were injured when police violently dispersed a thousand strong crowd from a park in a stamp and that heavy handed response triggered rallies in several other cities

the initial protest was prompted by government backed plans to demolish a park in the center of istanbul to build a shopping mall says that it's grown into an occupy style movement against the islamist leading government in the capital ankara police also used tear gas to push back protesters who were trying to reach they have quarters of the ruling justice and development party earlier we talked to dan a girl general secretary of turkey's media association who told us. protest wouldn't have gained such traction if it wasn't for the brutal police response. to put this question people but escalated after the poll is used to get people out of the course direction areas to now two days out you know what began as a small scale peaceful protest to clear this year's eve party one of the few remaining green spaces that interaction has escalated so more

the biggest public order and in and while it seemed to probably see you the latest years. in arrangement movement against the government and against the police forces so it became like a political movement actually and now there are many people from different sides of the political spectrum are even walled in the protests and may need there are some extremist groups as well but there are also people who are just opposing the fall of the government are also on the streets. now on our website r.t. dot com you can find live updates on the unrest in turkey including food and photos of the overnight clashes and witness accounts from all across the country international peace talks on syria that were originally set for early this month have been thrown into doubt syria's main opposition faction says it won't and to renegotiate until

a lebanese group has blah 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 fighting on the side of the rebels are just more 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 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 shirl's 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 watney 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 bring up or not party have a news of the westerners killed fighting for the syrian rebels backs up a recent study that showed hundreds of europeans have traveled to syria says the

start of the civil war to fight against president assad's regime of those the largest number are believed to have come from the u.k. and the latest incident involving an american woman shows that the conflict is getting more internationalized test even sumus from a professor of politics at the university of san francisco well there have been foreign fighters coming in no more and more the majority of people the armed resistance of course are syrians but increasingly we are seeing some westerners and as well. you know this is a this 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 of the government that have actually been no 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 is when some are reluctant to get more involved i'm afraid we are going to indeed

of more than one hundred detainees who have been starving themselves for almost four months now are being forced that let's now take a look at how the images describe the procedure of that the u.n. and international medical organizations have branded as torture well in the open the letter of the prisoners started by insisting that they would prefer death to the indefinite detention without trial and conditions that they call inhumane and degrading the detainees say their wishes are being ignored by doctors who forcefully and often violently impose treatment on them while they describe force feeding which involves a tube being pushed through the nose and down the throat as abusive and extremely painful the latter finishes off by accusing medics of performing an ethical experiments and putting their duty to the military above their duty as doctors earlier we talked to and richardson an attorney for one time

a detainee who described what our client is being subjected to. the detainees 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 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 you can if he's got enough of this day. they have made 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 look at some other stories from around the world at a new barrage of pure nato's has hit the outskirts of oklahoma city damaging buildings and killing at least five people disaster struck during the rush hour cutting off a major highway and leaving drivers stranded the storm system spread from nearby arkansas word twisters and flooding claimed three lives nearly two weeks ago a series of tornadoes hit the same area inflicting widespread devastation. a curious military has released fifty eight people suspected of having links to the islamist group boko haram in a bid to move towards peace talks the military claims to have destroyed major camps dealing a blow to the insurgency in the country's northeast but the leader of the movement sad the army assault is failing many civilians were reportedly killed in the way u.s. military raids including women and children. russians who enjoy unrestricted music

movie downloads could be enforced shock the country's ministry of culture has threatened to punish online pirates with fines of up to thirty thousand dollars are going off explains why the government is ready to take such drastic measures. everyone likes music but far from everyone likes to be for it and why bother if so many different online file swappers and torrent websites can 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 their albums 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 were a support. artist you like you. records online

by cds vinyls and stuff like that so. this is not happening here how do you end up making money. concerts according to official statistics a 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 a 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 theatre 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 industry but even that level of investment struggles to tempt audiences back into theaters and away from the pirates now the president is getting involved looking for ways to legalize the content without harming internet users personal freedoms for media bosses a lots at stake. we believe that without piracy films will be able to return twice more investment state and private will say one month for a movie premieres in cinemas it could be released onto the web for free but with adverts and legally. parliament is set to review a new anti-piracy draft a bill aimed at punishing. all internet users not only those uploading illegal content but downloading it as well but that's not the end of the story

a lot more is in the frame to ensure the pirates don't get the happy ending you go to school of moscow. back with more news in about thirty minutes on the way breaking a set with abby martin feel this. a u.s. senate committee has passed a bill that if signed by obama will love the u.s. to put a lot of weapons into the hands of syrian rebels the 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 has 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 l. white 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 us funded and armed the tele band and those mujahideen fighter guys and look how that turned out the us 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.
