global frak don't day is on saturday marks a worldwide protest uniting all activists who want to put an end to shale gas extraction for activists as they're called are urging their governments to stand up to the oil and gas lobby there's been plenty of action so far to these the pictures from new york activists in the streets demanding the change their ways of thinking about the environment on the other side of the atlantic spanish activists have been campaigning for renewable energy sources environmentalist have also gathered in belle german island open to bring about change there out of group called young friends of the earth gathered in london to send a message to the people in charge to stop and think about the younger generation but it's not his laura smith reports next britain is none the less putting fracking on a fast track. it's going to make household energy bills she 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 for king in

a big way almost evangelical in his drive to sell it to the british people north and south it's a tough sell day as he found out from environmental groups and local people worried about the countryside being sold off and down the u.k. . local campaign is barricaded to propose during the night but tomorrow and they now vowed to move back to wherever quote a threatening energy goes next. and they've got the experience of americans to back them up one hundred times more fracking well yeah in the us than in the whole of europe an environmental impact showing campaign is talk of gas and dangerous chemicals leaking out from

underground contaminated water. to air quality and even earthquakes. and they've been seen here in the u.k. record by drilling. but the government decided that didn't justify a ban on the technique according to cameron it would be a big mistake to rule fracking 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. over the past week of resulting clashes with police and several arrests in new brunswick province right schools use pepper spray and buttons to hundreds of protesters the. at least forty people were arrested. so why exactly are environmentally so concerned about this particular form of oil and gas production well let's take a look at the news will we'll find out the engine is the.

another issue would be viral mentalists combined with the highly potent greenhouse gases then released into the air causing a pollution willie mccullagh religious she talked to environmental campaigner nurse avoid who says fracking is moved beyond the point of regulation 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 as possible there's agent provocateur 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 few 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 partitions 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. or what if fracking site was in your neighborhood seems seventy four percent european say they certainly be concerned in one village in romania locals are getting is say in whether the us or major chevron compressed break for a show of gas at the very homes there's going to be a referendum in late november for now the company has suspended drilling following mass protests both on the site and in the capital bucharest party's polyploid the people standing up to the corporation. u.s. soldier at chevron cost the remaining government blessing to start exploratory trilling for shale gas in the area protesters from india gathered here.

with the local villagers in opposition so the deal was an enormous political fraud see if they didn't come to our students point would be 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 form any more and raise our animals and if we can do this what are we supposed to do. there 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 that just want to open their doors to fracking locals in this remote region of remaining i have been saddled with an ongoing 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 them in the you know what they have done in other places when they grew up alone 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 wood who will be affected and the sun on the food animals and for us and our children as well we have children and grandchildren who wish to 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 problem. gives you just people and too real. this. feeling of puking because they didn't ask us we didn't matter to them the sense of betrayal is acknowledged

by most protesters chevrons 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 return when you 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 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 here is our goal is 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 speed is for us to die so let it be called who won't give up until the outflow frankly in romania or loike a party protest romania so that's a picture there

a small snapshot of what's going on around the world we're trucking it out on our website r.t. dot com as those protests gain momentum we've got our radar and you can see everywhere that. green is where something is happening will be starting again as it sweeps around here are people taking to the streets across the americas across europe across asia and australasia as well so there we go out to dot com as we can find more throughout the day. right. the suicide bombings claimed the lives of sixteen syrian soldiers need damascus it's being blamed on al qaeda affiliated militants meantime other opposition factions have been pleading with the west for military and financial aid that is ready 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 agree we crossed the syrian lebanese border every day many times and what her son is a soldier for the free syrian army lawful gerardi are too much for we take injured people to lebanon hospitals we get ammunition from there we bring merger headin 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 to go for all the forces fine thousand presidential

solid no torture that. the security bill 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 to venton 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 feel and 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 middleton fairfield 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 rula. the fighters seized control of the heights around the village while we were filming it was still held by them and i. was doing he was using the crisis hundreds of thousands of tourists used to just take a look at this national these days does this to me this is where you see these trees that house the current 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 have mount an f.s.a. fighter was injured in an order he says they need more money and american military aid washington has considered 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 off to moscow pushed washington to agree on a peaceful way forward to build its warships spec from mediterranean and put its tomahawks on hold it didn't please everyone. 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 come but fighters he didn't in the mountains and militants helpless in the face of government tanks to agree and. the country's at a deadly impasse is neither side prepared to blink first marty's morea for notion of reports from fragmented syrian rebel held territory. syria rebels. still to come on the program in the next fifteen minutes a million anonymous firm with a broad reach. ever heard of serco and when you're away. on the ground you know not really learn about a british blue chip government services company that few britons of but being investigated for massive for mismanagement details all but stored a lot more after the quick break.

time to research this the global financial system is good to keep time to rebuild something better something less corrupt perhaps in fact this is the architect of the global financial system is happening right now as i speak these words doesn't matter whether you like it or not it is happening why the research well the former french prime minister dominique de villepin the reason they said the u.s. has used its three phenomenal early just to put the financial stability of the whole world at risk. according to the. numbers we have more than two thousand political prisoners i'm behind right now of course if you look at the system what the bahamian government is trying to do is they're trying to label many of these prisoners as terrorists.

against america's deadly drug strikes are essentially above the law and must become transparent and accountable that's according to the un special rapporteur on human rights and counterterrorism washington so far refused to disclose details of where its unmanned aerial strikes occur and how many civilians are killed journalist and four pakistani air force officers sultan m. holley says drone warfare is playing into the hands of terrorists. the united states are potentially is hiding fact it has not come clean and i hope that the united nations which has not only done it's all work but its head good morning to say it is the second general was in fact only a month back and he made it very clear that the use of the drums for aggression is

totally a contravention to international law pakistan has suffered probably most in the region because not only because of terrorism but because of terrorism bit which became enhanced or into the drone strikes and previous or chiefs in pakistan have been accused of actually providing a tacit approval i'm not sure whether that is true or not but the fact remains that to draw backs have caused collateral damage and the collateral damage in turn has given a marked 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 not centrally and that is how the terrorism in pakistan has played a spot of offbeat intrigue online for most tonight who rules the road in germany well if you log onto a dot com you'll find that a self-proclaimed king told police that he did when he was pulled over for speeding you produced a driving license issued himself as head of state and found plenty more facts about

other for abusing this vital supply list while explores the troubled waters. for over two decades three states have been in a bitter battle over water now the fight has reached a boiling point there certainly is 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 and 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 atlanta the city is growing and so is its third for water. is population growth is 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 atlanta's fault but that there's also a lot of climate change strands we see less rainfall in the last ten years and it certainly affects the flow into apalachicola and there's a lot of other variables that if you know or so years of have been just bridgewater's the neighboring states have been fighting over the rivers resources for over twenty years one lawsuit after another there's been no solution that quench is everyone's thirst it's not very often that the come to.

the concern. it's a round something that both people have some give and taking on the 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 court would force that lana 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 of the courts i would hope that within the next five years to three states can get to the table and bring world solution to this in columbus georgia liz wahl r.t. . enqueued rest of story too in a website of tito called coming up after the break is the global economy in need of

of like how they tell people not to feed the bears at parks because then they. the bears lose their instincts and will to 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 is 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 equality 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.

welcome to the kaiser report imax guys are time to reset this sucker the global financial system is come put scheme time to rebuild something better something less corrupt perhaps in fact this very architecting in the global financial system is happening right now as i speak these words doesn't matter whether you like it or not it is happening why the reset well this former french prime minister dominique de villepin recently said the u.s. has used its three phenomenal privileges to put the financial stability of the whole world at risk.
