a global frack attack rallies around the world unite against a shale drilling demanding the authorities open their eyes to the risks of the dangerous technology. in the eye of the storm margin reports of the syrian village of mali relied means to rebel fighters whose territories have encircled and. ever heard of serco no circle line with the roadway and on the ground yet wrong if the british services costs involved in the country's day to day needs but has some big questions to answer as a failure and for claims. in

of the russian capital you live with us on our to you it's me to them would say it's good to have your company with us so that today is a global day and international protest uniting activists worldwide demanding a ban on shale gas drilling for activists as they are known want the authorities to hear the truth about the risks of the technology and the british leaders are smitten with the fuel the prime minister as being a vigorous advocate of the risk you take meek as laura smith reports. it's going to make household energy bills cheap he says it will create loads of job c. infuses we'll pay you if you let us do it in your area u.k. prime minister david cameron has got behind flocking in a big way evangelical in his drawing to sell it to the british people north and south it's a tough sell as he's found out from environmental groups and local people worried

about the countryside being hauled off and down the u.k. . locals campaign is barricaded to propose during the two months and they now vowed to move back to wherever quote a wrecking energy goes next. and they've got the experience of americans to back them up one hundred times more fracking well yeah doug in the us than in the whole of europe and environmental impacts all showing campaign is talk of gas and dangerous chemicals leaking out from underground contaminated water systems. to air quality and even earthquakes linked to. and they've been seen here in the u.k.

record by really who but the government decided that didn't just deploy a ban on the technique according to how it would be a big mistake to rule cracking out on environmental grounds in the choice between boosting the economy and saving me and for him and the british prime minister has come down firmly on the side of the economy. in canada demonstrations held over the past really resulted in clashes with police and around eight hundred officers struggle to control calls of hundreds they used up. protesters who responded with petrol bombs demonstrators blocked roads and set the cars and. people arrested. so what's going to be so dangerous about fracking and do the benefits of creating jobs and fuel outweigh the risks here's how it works now the company they need to drill deep down about a kilometer into shale rock of formations and inject water quacked them an extra

oil and gas not to run a well you need millions of gallons of water combined with sand and chemicals and much of this water loaded with cancer causing way to active substances returns to the surface and could get into lakes and rivers not to mention that the poisonous fluid can contaminate the ground and then comes a pollution is highly potent greenhouse gases are released in the atmosphere but the drilling firms are doing everything they can to prove that people shouldn't fear fracking as active as anyone explains. destry has spent millions of dollars trying to educate the general public through advertising to believe that fracking for every last drop of oil and gas is good for us and likewise they've spent tons of money both through lobbying and campaign contributions to try to convince elected officials at the highest level as you i think are being lobbied to believe that this is in this is something that they should be behind and they often

use what we call green washing to make it seem like you know natural gas just that warm alone is cleaner when in fact this is the multinational oil and gas industry and their motivation is to generate profit for their shareholders and they will do that regardless of what their costs are to local communities who are affected by this process and the larger cost to all of us through what could be long term threats to our drinking water as well as catastrophic climate change. a village in romania is to hold a referendum on fracking the locals get to decide whether they want the energy u.s. energy giant chevron to explore shale gas under their homes of a company halted its drilling following mass protests both on the side and in the romanian capitol artists those fighting the energy giant locals in this remote region of remaining i have been saddled with and i'm going to guest u.s. energy giant chevron is due to begin drilling for shale gas. agriculture is our

lives become can grow in our soil for sure or will die because we've seen in what they have done in other places when we come up with many residents here fear that the process of fracking could release chemicals into the soil and contaminate the water. and i'm so afraid of these kind of guess exploitation people see they will be big problems for our animals because the wood will be affected and this one and the food for animals and for us and our children as well we have children and grandchildren what should we do these locals and environmentalist have been camped out here braving the elements in order to stand up to us oil giant chevron and armenian government which has given them the green light to start exploratory drilling in that field over there without any public consultation. with biggest problem and problem. gives three just people and

two real true. feeling of puking because they didn't ask us we didn't matter to them part of the sense of betrayal is echoed by most protest as there are many in prime minister was against fracking during his election campaign but after being voted into office he changed his mind and granted chevron permits for the controversial practice but now nothing is happening chevron were forced to leave the area last week unable to get past the locals human chain around the site but it's only a matter of time before they retire and when they can guess the done have a new future because the children are present the future the old people in the village told us that they can die but this is important for us to have a future chevron told our sea that they have all the required permits to begin

drilling and plan to return to the site and begin fracking safely assume as they can something that's less than reassuring for the growing number of people gathering head result was not when we hope to stop them even if it means paying with our lives if you want to send the army we will die if it is faded for us to die so let it be called who won't give up until the outflow frankly and remain you . are to be pretty gestae romania. on air and online will be following the day of protests against fracking as they gain steam are wrong to the global state with our. hard. work.

europe and other states are being urged to take in displaced syrians the un refugee agency estimates that four thousand people a day are feeling across the mediterranean still no end to the bitter fighting there with the rebels appealing for more money and western military aid or to fight the regime. is one of the few journalists who has been reporting from syria and has spoken to the members of the free syrian army inside rebel held territory. we cross the syrian lebanese border every day many times of you on her son is a soldier for the free syrian army lawful general hardliners for we take injured people to lebanon hospitals we get i mean issued from there we bring mujahideen in and out if i just want to go to see their families our cell is a safe haven. our so is a mostly sunni lebanese village on the syrian border along this road which appeared here in the first days of the conflict in two thousand and eleven it's possible to

reach all of syria's main battlefields bring in weapons or militants and many have done in those two and a half years. damascus has repeatedly called on foreign nations to stop supporting what it calls terrorists in syria but with these calls apparently ignored taking the capital remains the ultimate go for all the forces fighting president assad in the digital it has authority the security belt that the regime created around damascus is huge and to targeted we need many fighters in advanced weapons and to be honest we don't have those kinds of weapons but what we can do is watch operations here and there to relieve the pressure on the regime last month's attack on the village of malala here in the southwest of the country could be part of that strategy this ancient mostly christian settlement lies in a valley surrounded by mountains on the way from homs to damascus it's loyal to the syrian authorities but surrounded by f.s.a. held villages it is practically the only obstacle preventing fighters from two

large syrian battlegrounds uniting in more than a month of clashes between islamists and opposition fighters on one side and governmental forces on the other dozens were killed according to government sources and the siege continued while we found at the scene what you can see over there is a village we can see actually the village itself what we can see is the hotel saffir that the militants have been holding for weeks now so right now we are on the other side of the clashes. but from here to the hotel is territory held by the rebels after safai hotel it's the regime this is the highway to damascus but we cannot reach it because of my own lula. the fighters seized control of the heights around the village while we were filming it was still held by them.

is this the basis you see the prices hundreds of thousands of tourists used to just take a look at this this will this is does this to me this is where you see these trees that house them. the soldiers of the syrian army when we were in mali alongside the army there were snipers in these very caves in the mountains around the village stopping us from getting out but i was stuck here in this corner and we're now trying to get out of here but while f.s.a. soldiers can hold their opponents they seem unable to make their own advances. have mount an f.s.a. fighter was injured in an order he says they need more money and american military aid washington has conceded a limited assault on syrian military bases over august's chemical attack. if they strike with just ten rockets the regime of bashar al assad will fall by itself but

america changed track after moscow pushed washington to agree on a peaceful way forward pulled its warships spec from mediterranean and put its tomahawks on hold it didn't please everyone so seeing us all of them are liars the americans the arabs all of them i don't know how i can express it better and we're not hoping for anything from them. with army forces struggling to combat fighters haydon in the mountains and militants helpless in the face of government tanks artillery and. the country's at a deadly impasse is neither side prepared to blink first. marti's maria for notion of reports from fragmented syrian rebel held territories. syria rebel group one or two. of the families killed in an afghan taliban attack on an international residence complex so we are told to account of that for next year's presidential election explain what he thinks is behind the increase in the seargent

mean this teaches them a lot of rote sponsibility and simply come to play it through the eyes of children if we can do it for our children for our future what is the country will save. the world. science technology innovation all the news developments from around russia we've got this huge you're covered. welcome back to archie for more international news with me to say transport health care prisons a school services and many other public services and in the u.k. that's one for him with a finger in all those pies but few in the u.k. will know much about it even though it's accused of shooting performance and even

overcharging taxpayers for work to investigate suspicious and suspicions about sicko. for bicycles for rent a health services prison speed cameras ambulances and even the government's work programme for the jobless chances are they're operated by global private companies that you may have never even heard of have you ever heard of the companies. know what about interservice. have you ever heard of the compass group the compass be. never have you ever heard of serco. eroei and on the ground you know one of the biggest companies providing public service is a thanks to outsource government contractors a company called a circle operating various services for the transport for london electronic tagging a presence for the ministry of justice and some out of hours general practice services for the national health service these are just around the areas of the

company operates and the company is currently making headlines as is being investigated for fraud mismanagement of the long list of complaints on the quality of the service it provides are they competent to have their expertise. come come they really effectively manage the service and i think. it's becoming clear that novak whom for its part has said that the situation is being dealt with we will embed quickly and effectively any changes needed into the way we do business and we expect to emerge stronger as a result their practices and. progresses to two different things the u.k. government is set to continue on its massive outsourcing drive the n.h.s. or the health service for instance isn't working on its single word big it's a contract to date inviting bids valued between seven hundred million and one point one billion pounds one of the reasons that these public service markets often go

viral is because the pace and scale of reform is causing significant problems in the rush to develop public service market is avoidable errors have often been made in design and oversight and what we would urge the government is to slow down learn quickly from mistakes and correct them out of the system before another mistake grabs the headline but there doesn't seem to be any slowing down on the part of the government and for those in the private sector it's simply business as usual just sort of still yard wonder. those voices in your head might just be real scientists say they're not only a step closer to stopping on our faults but that their discovery might allow our minds to be manipulated to find out who could soon raid our brains at r.t. dot com. and the monster bushfires that are ravaging solve these australia right now we've got a gallery gallery of dramatic images are showing just how terrifying the blaze is

the u.s. three neighboring states are struggling to divide supplies from one shared river a battle that's been going on for decades they blame each other for using too much water liz wahl looks at the dispute. for over two decades three states have been in a bitter battle over water now the fight has reached a boiling point there's certainly an issue about whether there's enough water for everybody georgia alabama and florida all have a stake in the apalachicola chattahoochee flynn's river system it's the source of drinking water fishing business and recreation or i'm standing right now i am in georgia just on the other side of this river that's alabama now the water is flowing down south into the state of florida and with all three states having a stake in this river it's leading to a war over water early october florida filed

a lawsuit against georgia in the supreme court the sunshine state charged its northern neighbor with using too much water florida says georgia's water consumption is drying out business for oyster farmers oysters need a healthy mix of fresh and salt water to thrive so who is sucking up the most water many blame out lana the city is growing and so is its third for water. is population growth this come this climate change is coming we're starting to stretch our water resources particularly periods of drought but outside florida experts keeping an eye on the water level of the chattahoochee river say it's not all atlantis fault but that there's also a lot of climate change strands we see less rainfall in the last ten years and that certainly affects the flow into apalachicola and there's a lot of other variables that have the oysters and have been just brace warders the

neighboring states have been fighting over the rivers resources for over twenty years one lawsuit after another there's been no solution that quenches everyone's thirst it's not very often that they come to. a consensus. around something that both people have given taking and they you there win or lose usually in court you think of the cost of twenty three years of litigation and these years and then the federal agencies that are involved it's enormous for the most part the river is regulated by the army corps of engineers if florida gets its way the corps would force atlanta to cut back on its water consumption and divvy up the water among the three states but some that have a stake in the river still hold out hope that the dispute can be settled outside the courts i would hope that within the next five years the three states can get to the table and bring resolution of this in columbus georgia list of all party.

so that you as minister of verge of default at the last minute a visit chance to turn over a financial new leave but prepared to have your hopes dashed for a better system later on r.t. makes kaiser gets locked and loaded to take on the rating agencies. predator is created spontaneously from nothing and that the spontaneous credit creation from nothing not even a fractional reserve but zero reserve then becomes the collateral for even more credit creation and you create this global daisy chain of credit that has no collateral whatsoever but is nevertheless used by the top one percent to acquire assets who happen to be going up in value as long as they keep creating phony credit and again this is all tied to rating agencies being able to say look here's a steaming pile of dog poop and we're going to give this a aaa rating and then say using that as collateral to go to the bank and borrow

twenty million dollars to buy a chateau or to borrow half a billion dollars to buy a company if they're willing to say that this steaming pile of dog poo is a aaa rated security that i'm going to borrow against then so be it that's the new papacy in the post-capitalist world the vatican pope of goldman sachs and j.p. morgan says i deem this crap to be to replace it as collateral the security. that's next kinds of it coming up in a closer look at gun control in the u.s. and a small come content in kentucky where file of everyday life to stay with us here on our team.

switzerland will soon vote if they should start giving out thousands of dollars in cash to every adult citizen in the country you heard me right there's a grassroots campaign that is trying to get the government to give to every adult says a two thousand five hundred swiss francs approximately two thousand. eight hundred dollars per month the motivation for the project is that many in switzerland fear that the financial crisis has caused wealth inequality to skyrocket you know i'm not an expert at swiss culture so maybe people there are different but if they gave out thousands of free dollars per month anywhere i've lived you would see the majority of people going into early retirement and not working at all and sort of like how they tell people not to feed the bears at parks because then the bears lose their instincts and will go hunt because getting a sandwich thrown at them is a lot easier i mean why go through the effort of auditing when the sandwich just magically appears handouts often creates law according to reuters some people are proposing a much better law for switzerland limiting executive pay to being twelve times

higher than that of the lowest paid employee although this point isn't making headlines it seems like a much better idea because it doesn't to motivate people to be productive and yet it would create almost utopia like levels of wealthy quality also if the bosses salary is tied to the employees that a lot of people be getting raises very soon this one to twelve p. ratio is much better than the free swiss francs and it gets my seal of approval but that's just my opinion. here i mean if we're looking at the situation right now where we have a crackdown almost on a daily basis where we have people getting arbitrarily arrested from their homes during war we have children being picked off the streets where we have people attacked with tear gas inside their homes what torture is is that not in itself as a form of anarchy.
