forecasting live from moscow twenty four hours a day you're watching out. hundred cities across brazil have seen a fresh wave of mass protests well the first death has been reported among the demonstrators in the state of. reports say the anti-government rally amassed a staggering one million people when activists in rio de janeiro attempted to approach the city hall they were met by police with tear gas and rubber bullets dozens of people were left injured following the clash of crowds that gathered in the capital brasilia to receive the same treatment from the. president zuma who has canceled a visit to japan to deal with the crisis teasing you know the reports. this of thousand have taken to the streets all over brazil in an unprecedented public protests the hottest sport of the unrest remains sao paolo where tear gas has been fired protesters who tried to take over the local government building in the

capital brasilia clashes erupted when riot police faced off with protesters trying to break through towards the congress in rio de janeiro local police resorted to tear gas to disperse crowds marching towards city hall police say some three hundred thousand people have rallied but organizers claim it's twice as many there are reports that around thirty people have been injured earlier around eight thousand security officers have been deployed near the city stadium ahead of considerations cup football match between the spanish and haiti football teams such rallies are believed to be the most violent in a decade the protesters say they're angry at the government's excessive spending for the two thousand and fourteen world cup another point of discontent is the increase of public transport fees in several brazilian cities the country's health authorities later reversed their decision to increase the first but this doesn't

seem to have a peace demonstrators they say they are also angry over the underfunded health care and education systems the unrest come six months ahead of elections in brazil and as we can see there are plenty of complaints too was president dilma rousseff government the protesters say they will remain until they see change and promise a fresh wave of rallies to take place for the next days well for more on this we're now joined live by asia times correspondent. thanks for joining us here on r.t. today now that the government in brazil has backtracked on what cause a process in the first place do you think this will ease the tension. no not at all because you know the metaphor applies here it is a giant out of control and led by the use of brazil over seventy percent of the protesters there are under twenty five most of them are called students university students and it's special even the school system this is where the original this

region needed sat down in the stream danger at the moment because this is an all result oprah test leaderless and apolitical or beyond politics with no clear leader who is going to steer the masses now towards a concrete these programs there are talks in brazil i spent the last few hours talking to a lot of people people actually fear and fascist cool from the extreme right in brazil because the workers' party is in power at the moment so we don't this it's much more complicated that this young people are expressing their anger at the way the country is being run by all the needs and you elites as well but how will form this into a political group that's the challenge and you talk about me anger there all of the masses i mean brazil hasn't seen protests like this for you is what is angering people the most all dictates. i would need like ten hours to

explain to the i hurt you viewers what's going on it's set in oh what happened over the fast that the past four hundred fifty years but also the fifteen billion dollars still fifty four racket concentration scupper up knowing fast lending to house. and they do creation transportation system cultural by rackets everywhere corruption in all scales local government and federal levels three of us governments and the current. you know the add this of them in a general class that's really incompetent and the fact that the cannot even build it decent airport in brazil why don't they come here to asia to see how we would build an africa if so what's you know so much and you know that catalyst was the bus fare hike of twenty cents which apparently is nothing but it's more than enough

it just like at gezi park in istanbul and the most beautiful scene you can see on the net right now is we are all faxing and we are also following turkey and follow the same flight when you say the same fight we've been saying antigovernment protests across the e.u. are there any similarities with that. yes and it's the same site in spain in portugal in many countries i guess neoliberalism spec's really you know the kingdom of the one percent the washington consensus is the growth in g.d.p. numbers that doesn't take into account what girls zone in everyday life in terms of people try to struggle to hear in the case of brazilians be like a door and a half or two dollars a day on a bus fare and if they earn less than three hundred dollars a month it's just an absolute disaster in a couple in this four hours you know so far to go two hours to come back so in

terms of the political elites all over it's basically there's everybody still following the washington consensus it's still a little liberalism and in there all the way. you all over is protesting against economic foundations of our system that's why this is so huge ok ask him i would have to leave it there thanks for your thoughts on r.t. today thank you but well france is growing increasingly frustrated that the european union that's according to a recent poll held across the twenty seven nation let's take a look at the numbers now well sixty two percent of french people think that he is moving in the wrong direction they're concerned by the rise of germany as a political force if you look at brussels has mishandled europe's financial crisis unemployment in france continues to rise when it comes amid some dire approval

ratings for president francois hollande which of decreased almost two fold in the end he's been in power french far right politically than marine le pen but he's a french have had enough. but the boat but the bell first of all you need to understand that the french do not really talk about this both the e.u. and the euro a common currency virtually imposed on us i religiously defended here in other words there is no diversity of opinion anything you say against the euro will be equal to blasphemy what i'm asking for is a referendum polls are a good thing but i do remember the polls promised that when asked about the european constitution france would vote for it at the end of the day fifty five percent of french citizens said. that's why we need a wide public debate a referendum to ask the people what they think about food border transparency with

the shrinking countries and about this currency that killed our economy we need to ask them how come the e.u. guidelines are more important that our own constitution which in shrines the will of a sovereign nation these essential topics are yet to become subject to public debate in france and i'm sure that if they were discussed today the french would opt for freedom or political analyst alex caldwell believes many french people now think the news basic structure is fundamentally wrong. i think that so you could list a lot of arguments against the you you could say that it's not really did look to because the e.u. commission is on the elected by the by the european citizens you could say that it's too expensive. because some of the states give a little credit to the e.u. budget but don't receive as much money and where the euro as stephen to europe

actually is a way for specific member states to postpone structural reforms and so she's clearly a good example of that what a lot of people are concerned nowadays with the thinking is they don't agree on the very idea of the youth that are to disagree on what phone should be you would. be shifting if your. and while many in the e.u. believe their voices are not being heard by brussels also you went to investigate just how much citizens of the book are involved or even familiar with its politics this is brussels the capital of europe and whole to the european institutions that make the laws of decisions that affect the lives of five hundred million citizens the question is how much do these citizens really know about europe do you know what the european flag stands for. the player. who

is the president of the european council. how many countries in the e.u. . started going through that and who is the twenty eighth country. we do. not. know what does the flag of the stars of the flag mean what do they mean. it's an appalling and there's nothing in the middle of it. but what do the stars on the flag mean on the european union flag. those are the member states now here and for the european parliament there's this exhibit which showcases some of the key moments in the history of the european union certainly some of these will be more familiar to citizens of the country where it actually took place when it comes to e.u. institutions how they function how they work service and showed that most europeans know very little about what actually goes on that would want to serve you but your

barometer it shows that the knowledge of it that europeans have with its issues is just three point four points out of ten this survey also shows that a majority of e.u. citizens think that the e.u. is a good thing however a majority of them also think that their voices do not count fifty four percent in fact now in this report it also says that only twenty five percent of europeans know that there's even an upcoming election in two thousand and fourteen to elect their members of the. pm parliament right behind me there's no democracy neither in the u.k. you know in germany or in brussels now we need more advanced developments for stronger involvement of citizens well there are officials in various e.u. institutions calling for a more democratic europe but in order to do so they will need to get people more involved and interested in the first place if we are to achieve this reporting from brussels i'm tests are cilia. more news are coming your way right after

a short break. you know how 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 realized everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm tom harvey welcome to the big picture. is the united states of america a force for good in the world we're still the largest economy and an unmatched military critics claim washington's to find you political interests always trump it's a loudly proclaimed values friends of washington are given a free pass and it means real or imagined or to be destroyed and replaced.

after three weeks of street battles authorities in turkey and now say they are prepared to allow one form of protest people standing still in the street meanwhile in ankara riot police have once again rained tear gas down on protesters auntie's tom barton was in the thick of it. i've just taken off my gas mask for a minute the air is heavy with the smell of tear gas these two police water cannons have charged into the center of this stranger non-corrupt dispersing bronwyn has.

been examining mind of police response heavy handed police response in the eyes of protesters that protesters have been so i'm going about in the past two weeks they're saying the. prime minister earlier ones government is too authoritarian and the police that are supporting the government always well and they will do nothing to try and ease their concerns will this affect the politics in turkey upcoming local elections is very much yet to be seen though anger on the street is very much continuing on a day to day basis respect to this particular crossroads has become a scene for nightly confrontations between the police and protesters. however earlier in the week protests went on until a small out of the morning without incident yesterday and today. the police response very different with these vehicles charging in and chasing protesters down

side streets liberal use of the water cannon which has stripped the bark off trees and left deborah over the streets. really not the kind of response people were hoping to see from a police force but has really come in for a lot of criticism from a lot of corners of turkish society in the last two weeks. now as the u.s. army rushes to complete its pulled out from afghanistan parts of the country are already it turning into huge junkyards the pentagon is now destroying state of the art vehicles and other military equipment there despite the war really having cost american taxpayers more than six hundred thirty billion dollars auntie's going to take out investigates. by the end of two thousand and fourteen the u.s. military will have to store seven billion dollars worth of military equipment in afghanistan u.s. officials say they're getting rid of what they no longer need to or what would be too costly to ship back home the list of items that will be shredded. to be sold to

scrap includes around two thousand mine resistant ambush protected vehicles or m r eight pieces that were designed to counter this threat of roadside bombs and cost around a million dollars apiece in afghanistan are very busy dismantling expensive equipment u.s. officials are not explicit as to why they're not leaving the gear to the afghan military one of the reasons that they gave is that they provided afghan forces with lighter tactical vehicles which are presumably a better fit for the country's roads to quote one u.s. military official he said we don't want to live with a lot of equipment that they can't handle and that could compound their challenges as the u.s. is packing to leave again it's done well at least the bulk of the forces the obama administration is trying to find a political solution with the taliban there quite a few road blocks on the way through that as you can imagine but after years of fierce fighting u.s. policymakers have arrived at the idea that only a political solution can lead to

a sustainable peace in afghanistan and in some way the scrapping of military gear is symbolic to how little all that machinery has achieved there. what a close look at the stories available few on our website and also the shame and disgrace your own experts reveal the ugly truth of israeli army tactics including using honesty and truth in the human shields of neutral peroration to learn more disturbing details. so when are you troubled stunning pictures from the paris air show cutting edge examples of russia's military and decorate. the russian duma. has been debating a new law or that would ban adoptions by foreigners hold in same sex marriages little comes amid high controversy surrounding gay rights in russia. as details. this is the third reading of the draft and usually they are more formality since

most of the disk debate is done in the previous two and well in this case concerning this draft banning gay couples from adopting children lawmakers have already approved it so the chances of the state duma giving the green light to the whole draft in general are very high no earlier russian lawmakers passed another draft banning homosexual propaganda to children raising lots of criticism both from gay rights activists in russia and from abroad but when it comes to the general population then actually the majority of russian citizens they support these measures since according to a recent opinion poll conducted by the water center thirty eight percent of its respondents believe that gays have to be treated by doctors while thirteen percent believe that they have to be legally prosecuted so clearly the society in russia here is still very conservative and perhaps that's why most of the public events or

rallies organized by gay rights activists in russia usually end up with them basically being physically attacked by eighty gay rights activists usually they are radical orthodox christians now if we compare the situation to western europe for instance that obviously they're societies much less conservative but issues like allowing gay couples to adopt children still raise a lot of debate there as well for instance we do remember the recent mass protest in france when tens of thousands or perhaps even hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets against allowing gay couples to adopt children. after the u.s. decision to on the syrian rebels against the government troops powerful anti tank and anti aircraft missiles are making their way to the rules are they saying shipments have already spot feuds among various rebel factions by radical islamist fighters some reports claim fighters from the kind of thing on the front

assassinated in the large number of offices in the free syrian army. thinks it only highlights the dangers of sending more arms to the region. the rebel ranks were in a stanwell recently could make no. type of agreement between themselves and now they're actually killing each other so there is that power struggle it's been going on for months and months and presumably president obama and nature powers are saying yeah we'll give it to the free syrian army well if the front murdering members of the free syrian army presumably take some of those arms and destroy it they probably use it disunity in the rebel ranks is reaching fever pitch the dangers are are very narrow they're all to be seen in iraq neighboring iraq and beginning to be seen in lebanon as the eldest of front becomes the key defacto lead faction in the opposition no amount of being the so-called moderate rebels is going

to work against the hundreds of thousands billions millions we don't know coming from qatar and saudi arabia the american allies in the persian gulf so the dangers are everywhere to be seen and of course the other dangers of the blowback which may be currying even now some of these militants returning to their home countries in europe and perhaps to the united states to fight their jihad on european and american soil. yes the cream of world business is in scent petersburg looking for ways to boost economic growth reform with global financial system and strengthen trade. openness at the forum looking into the most burning issues dominating the agenda on the event second day. if there's a mess to get caught i made it very much in full focus today we're going to be

talking about market volatility how to address that as well as making bossa almost friendly place to come and spend your cast improving infrastructure and something about investment into the culture i'm now joined by tim does then you've been walking in russia five or twenty years as the at t five president all that so all the oil companies that we come to find basis what would you like to see in free to make it easier for you but as you say we've been in russia for a couple of decades we have a small producing the interest. as of today i think yes we recognize that russia has a resource potential both oil on shore. and off shore. you're aware of the strategic cooperation we have all snuffed. and that's you know sort of is the next important step in the starvation or the god observation in russia and helping is this still how much money it we talking about with roughly half. you know we don't

disclose in money terms but we have we have worked on it which will dispose that will be entering into offshore positions around about one hundred thousand square kilometers sold sanchia expiration date which we have a commitment to to drill six wells in the period from two thousand and sixteen to two thousand and twenty one took about two and a massive almost stopped yesterday between china ross s sixty billion dollars what what you make of that does not just prove what's changing in terms of trade relationships on a global scale but i think on the lines the potential that russia has that should be the major supplier of both gas and oil given many many many decades ahead. and also moving on i want to talk about we all say because at the moment everyone's trying to get involved on the even countries such as china to see that the competition is really getting help as we get more energy demands from countries voted this many say you know two thirds of the the find reese. who is on the planet that's been there all together positions of being be it being taken out including

in the rush hour and we're very fortunate to be part of that together with with ross that you know mind snow so that even though you know sort of leave a lot of the production from the all to come in the longer term the positions are being taken now so it's now is the time to take you'll take a position on health hope to come to see get to see that getting a little bit no they owe you competent o.b. ferry out of the house he was not there would they have used that aside there's an adult to call tissues for the fall for new acreage including in the in the all tick even though that respect is all long term as i said the physicians in the altar could be and so you can know rush's rush is a good example of that with the awards which. have had a receiver the last the last two years and fairly quickly you'll be six months i'll guess is that the feature about it takes a while so i think we need both show guests on the complex all show on the arctic resources into the future thank you very much indeed tim and dalton that i thank you for joining me today this morning hit the simply because that international
