the war on protestors around the world unite against the drilling technique known as fracking urging the government not to sacrifice the environment for the sake of short profits. syria look to the deadly tug of war between the government and opposition forces are to get access to a rebel stronghold. and also this hour america's a man killing machines are on the radar as a senior u.n. official urges washington to reveal and rain aid in its probe program. by from your t.v. center at nine pm it's kevin i mean you just can if you just joined us our top

story than global day is on saturday marks a worldwide protest uniting all activists who want to put it into shale gas extraction for activist is the co-author urging the governments around the world to stand up to the oil and gas lobby however in britain the authorities see things very differently the problem is today has become a vigorous advocate of the risky technique is laura smith found. it's going to make household energy bills she says it will create loads of job c. and use that will pay you if you do it in your area u.k. prime minister david cameron has got behind working in a big way evangelical in his dry to the british people north and south it's a tough sell as he's found out from environmental groups to cool people worried about the countryside being told off and down the u.k. . locals campaign is barricaded to propose during the night but do not

and they now vowed to move back to wherever. the fracking energy goes next. and they've got the experience of americans to back them up one hundred times more for you in the us than in the whole of europe and environmental impacts all showing campaign is. dangerous chemicals leaking out from underground contaminated water it's my right to ask for the seat and even wait for the supreme being and they'd be seen here in the u.k. . bored by drilling who the government decided that didn't justify a ban on the technique according to cameron it would be

a big mistake to rule cracking out on environmental grounds in the choice between boosting the economy and saving the environment the british prime minister has come down firmly on the side of the economy. the picture of the u.k. we will overcome it rallies over the past week it resulted in clashes with police and several arrests in new brunswick schools use pepper spray and buckles to force . the hundreds of protesters who would tell you to democrats will bridge demonstrators blocked roads and set us cars alight at least forty were arrested. so why exactly are invented environmentally so concerned about this particular form of oil and gas production well let's take a look at news will see if it works the engineers need to drill deep down into this shell rock formations there and inject water in to crack them open to extract the oil and gas then in turn to run a well you need chemicals combined with sand and millions of gallons of water but much of it with traces of radioactive substances seeps back to the surface with the potential to get into lakes and rivers not to mention that the fluids can

contaminate the soil and that's one of the issues as well in the environmentalists combined with the fact that highly potent greenhouse gases are released up into the atmosphere a colleague marina joshie talked to environmental campaigner vanessa vine who says fracking has moved beyond the point of regulation that. i'm here in solidarity with the people in so-called new brunswick to make more people who are being accused of being violent throwing molotov cocktails it's possible there's an unprovoked element there we don't know with the people in romania today yesterday who are being cleared from the roads the farmers by the police with the people in my community i live four miles from borkum i've had to jump over a fence to get out of the way of the police it has been absolutely appalling the way our police force who are supposed to protect life and property are being made by our government to force through corporate eco side we're not fringe environmental nutters eco freaks we are i'm

a regular person who lives nearby who has looked at the uninvested research and i do not trust this it is not a bridging feel we should have kicked our addiction to fossil fuels decades ago now a few solar panels and wind turbines won't sort it because we've continued to get fossil fuels out of the ground with increasingly dangerous techniques we have two groups here environmentalist on the one side and politicians on the other but how can you reconcile these two groups i mean can they meet each other halfway somehow know not if they want to go ahead with the extreme fossil fuel industry it is unregulated will the uninvested experts and those who used to be in the industry who have turned around and now whistleblowing are saying this cannot be regulated it's not environmentalist it's regular people it's native people on the ground it's people in rural pennsylvania rural australia upper middle class middle middle england it's people across the world remaining in france germany are saying no because they're looking at the truth not what this short term political ambition

and industry corporate interest is trying to force on us. so what if a fracking site was in your neighborhood world seventy four percent of europeans say they'd certainly be concerned and indeed in one village in romania locals are getting a say in whether to whether the us oil majors chevron compress spec for shale gas under the as good of a referendum in late november for now the company suspended drilling meantime up following mass protests both on the site and in the capital bucharest at his polyploid him at the people standing up to the corporation. run. government saying to start exploring. protestors from. the local villages in opposition to the deal i've been in the masses put up of lots they didn't come to us to explain what they want to do or how it will affect us that's why we're protesting. is dangerous because they will poison our water and we

won't be able to farm anymore and raise our animals and if we can't do this what are we supposed to do. maybe and government says brace shale gas in order to achieve energy independence but that's something that local villages here say that they don't want to pay for with their safety here's my report on the bustle waging between chevron and the local people who want to open their doors to fracking locals in this remote region of remaining i have been saddled with and i'm going to guest u.s. and the giant chevron is due to begin drilling for shale gas those opal agriculture is our lives become can grow in our soil for sure or will die because we've seen them in the you know what they have done in other places when they grew up many residents here fear that the process of fracking could release chemicals into the soil and contaminate the water. i'm so afraid of this kind of guess exploitation people see they will be big problems for our animals grow the water

will be affected and this woman the food 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 the romanian government which has given them the green light to start exploratory drilling and not feel david that without any public consultation. gives you just people and two real. feeling of puking because they didn't ask. we didn't matter to them the sense of betrayal is acknowledged by most protest as chevron were forced to leave the area last week on able to get past the locals human chain around the site but it's only a matter of time before they retire and why many they can guess they don't have any

future because the children present the future the old people in the village told us that they can die but they say it's important for us to have a future chevron told r.t. 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 they want to send the army we will die if it is speeded for us to die so let it be who won't give up until the outflow frankly in romania or loike a pretty gestae romania. well it certainly seems to be a determined group of people over our website r t the comic a regular updates on the day of all these protests going on against fracking is the game momentum around the globe we're tracking it here dozens of countries revolver thousands of people taking to the streets across the americas europe africa and

australia as well as from sea or hollows in green there where it certainly is much more popping up as that radar goes rogue keep rest of it r.t. dot com. up. next tonight a suicide bombings claimed the lives of sixteen syrian soldiers near damascus is being blamed but al-qaeda affiliated militants meantime other opposition factions have been pleading with the west for military and financial aid for nationals one of the few journalists has been reporting from syria she spoke to members of the free syrian army inside rebel held territory. and i usually we cross the syrian lebanese border every day many times and what her son is a soldier for the free syrian army lawful jar jar of us for we take injured people

to lebanon hospitals we get ammunition from there we bring mojahedin in and out if fighters want to go to see their families our cell is a safe haven in the middle of our cell 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 bringing weapons on 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 taken the capital remains the ultimate go for all the forces fighting president assad know to do that. the security bill that the regime created around damascus is huge and do 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 distractedly the only obstacle to one thousand fighters from to launch syrian battlegrounds uniting. in more than a month of clashes between a slim assessment of positions authors on one side and governmental forces on the other dozens were killed according to government sources and the siege continued while we feel that 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 posing 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 rula. the fighters seized control of the heights around the village while we were filming it was still held by them. is this the case you see the prices hundreds of thousands of troops used to just take a look at this this will these days does this to me this is where you see these caves that house them. 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 when 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 of

whom have mounted an f.s.a. fighter was injured in the newer 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 ghazi imo if they strike with just ten rockets the regime of bashar al assad will fall by itself. but america changed the track up to 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 i love seeing 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 but this. was army forces struggling to combat fighters hayden in the mountains and militants helpless in the face of government tanks artillery and nation the country's at a deadly impasse is neither side prepared to blink first marty's morea for reports

from fragmented syrian rebel held territories. syria on the rebel group. too. so i have seen the program tonight a nearly anonymous firm with a broad reach. ever heard of serco. on the ground yet no not really about a british blue chip government services company the few britons about but it's being investigated for massive fraud and mismanagement details on that story a lot more after this break. the. pain of the young girls.

for the future harder. between two and three hundred million guns united states so you can act like they're not here and keep kids away from them. the causes. you know teaches them a lot of response ability to think through the eyes of children if we can't do it for our children future. of the country will solve.

america's deadly drone strikes are essentially above the law must become transparent and accountable that's according to the u.n. special report on human rights and counterterrorism washington so far refused to disclose details of the aerial strikes occur and how many civilians are killed journalist and four pakistani air force officer and i'm highly says drone warfare is playing into the hands of terrorists. the united states apathetically is hiding fact it has not come clean and i hope that the united nations which has not only done it but its own head good morning to said this general was only a month back and he made it pretty clear that the use of the drones. is totally contravention to international law pakistan has suffered for probably the most in the region because not only because of terrorism but because of terrorism bid which became enhanced or into the drone strikes and previously chiefs in pakistan have

been accused of actually providing a test that approval i'm not sure that that is true or not but the fact remains that drone backs have caused collateral damage and to collect through that image in turn has given a mock rise to the number of terrorist because they have been able to recruit some of the relatives of the people who have been slain in these attacks innocently and that is how the terrorism in pakistan has spread. senior officials including tribal elders say they will vote next month on what role u.s. troops will be allowed to play in their country the nato led combat mission will be wrapped up by the end of twenty forty but the u.s. wants to keep some boots on the ground a draft bilateral pact between washington and kabul could give american troops immunity from local laws and it's that part of the deal that's been heavily contested right now in afghanistan also as most foreign forces prepared to withdraw will be turning their backs on a resurgent taliban six civilians were killed in the group's latest assault by

militants targeted an international combo and friday the afghan government's now ever increasing pressure to strike a peace deal with the insurgents is eventually elections will be held in april we asked one presidential candidate why the outgoing karzai administration seems unable to contain the violence. i'm afraid the increase has been very very evident in the past few months mr karzai is not leaving an afghanistan that will be remembered as a stable afghanistan and afghanistan but our government has public support a government that has been able to attack bigger problems that people are suffering from which is poverty lack of jobs corruption lack of rule of law there be some some some achievements but these achievements are not been because of this government these are your students have been because of the mass inertia of the presence of the international community and the global push towards freedom of

speech women's rights or some technological advances in the communication area or in the in the media area these are not a government made achievements of us that were here because of the presence of the international community this government has not produced anything that is sustainable or tangible always penton for me and some quirkiness online for most to like this who rules the road in germany well to look at the picture it seems. self-proclaimed king told police he did when he was pulled over for speeding even produced a driving license issued him self as head of state you'll find plenty more facts about the self-styled market r t dot com and on our web site to london's new weapon in its war against illegal migration tens of thousands of people have received text messages telling them to leave the u.k. but it turns out some of the recipients of far from being illegal immigrants got their story. so if you have the u.k.

giant firm that's involved in operating britain's health care schools transport and other services to sick used of massive fraud or mismanagement but for such a large company with its figured so many pies it's hardly known in fact to anyone in the country is test reseller found for r.t. . for bicycles for rent to 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. should know better about. have you ever heard of the compas. the compas be. have you ever heard of. on the ground you know one of the biggest companies providing public service is a thanks to outsource government contractors a company called serco 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 now these are just the areas of the company operates and the company is currently making headlines as is being investigated for fraud mismanagement a long list of complaints on the quality of the service it provides are they competent to have their expertise. come on they really effectively manage the service and i think. it's becoming clear that. 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 that practices. publicity 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 one 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 markets often well is because the pace and scale of reform is causing significant problems in the rush to develop public service market is avoidable areas. often been made and design an oversight and what we would 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 on the part of the government for those in the private sector it's simply business as usual. worldviews in briefs and playing transporting skydivers is crushed on takeoff and so the belgium local authorities say there were ten passengers on a pilot on board the plane at the time sadly all of police had been killed before the wing of the plane could have been damaged leading to the accident. a car bomb struck an army intelligence building in the city of ismailia hundred thirty

kilometers east of cairo according to security officials six people were wounded in the attack however conflicting report by local media says one person was killed and ten injured several buildings when the army compound a belief of collapse there are also reports of another car bomb near the complex that failed to explode. a suicide bomber times killed thirteen people and injured many others in a town in central somalia the explosion went off in a restaurant popular with ethiopian and somali troops but you had this group al-shabaab which is spearheading an insurgency in the area said it carried out the attack the terrorist network was also behind last one's deadly mall siege in neighboring kenya the. french president francois laud has announced that the roma schoolgirl whose deportation sparked a massive public outcry has been allowed to return to france if she wants to but without her family the fifteen year old rejected that offer students blocked entrances to schools and health marches in paris and its suburbs in her support she was detained by police and sent by the kosovo with her family because officials

said they'd been denied asylum in france it had been seeking the incident prompted calls for the french interior minister to resign. scuffles between protesters and police have broken out in central rome as tens of thousands rallied against the twenty fourteen budget there's been a bell by italy's government earlier this week being based on austerity it's therefore become the focus of big discontent italian civil servants including transport staff went on strike on friday causing disruption in rome and across the country. as the united states counts the cost of government shutdown much keyser on this channel break star why the country's financial system is bell functioning. fred it 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 shot 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 there was collateral review security. months ago here just a couple of hours time coming up right after this next break though staying with the u.s. to a closer look at gun control on

a small counting kentucky with firearms a part of everyday life for them. 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. proximately 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 plan 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 wealth inequality also if the bosses salary is tied to the employees that a lot of people be getting raises very soon this one to twelve pay ratio is much better than the free swiss francs and it gets my seal of approval but that's just my opinion. it's a quick fix for a long time to increasing the intoxicating addiction the us may have avoided. but

it keeps dragging the world into an ever deeper debt. is it still possible to break this vicious cycle. real damage and complexity of this oil spill is not something you can grasp just by looking at dirty birds we have between four to five million people in this directly affected area of the coast and it's pretty clear why it's not being reported because b.p. can't afford to have it reported all along the gulf coast are. clean they are safe and they're open for business if b.p. is the single largest oil contributor to the pentagon the us war machine is heavily reliant upon b.p. and their oil this is a huge step backwards for democracy.
