germany's green dream morphs into a nightmare for the taxpayer as perks and handouts for a new of all energy billions to the pale. cheeks remember the girls otherwise it wouldn't be the crisis of confidence a series of scandals leave the reputation of u.k. politicians at rock bottom with the british public saying they can't be trusted particularly when they have to admit that they're wrong. and the first ever attempt to legislate against n.s.a. spying in the e.u. will see anyone illegally transferring data out of europe potentially here with billions of euros in fines.

well good morning to you from the entire news team here in moscow it's now nine am on monday i'm sure sushi with the hour's top lines robin hood like subsidies for green power driving the e.u. towards an energy crisis this according to the europe's top utilities and the problem they say ultimately is that the billions in handouts are killing innovation and competitiveness and the results for all to see looking at the cost of energy in the e.u. and elsewhere china for example a kilowatt hour is going to cost you around seven cents though in america a few cents more double that and you've got france where prices are at least kept down by nuclear power almost double that again though and you've got germany at twenty seven cents that's four times higher than china on the list of. say that's

bad news for industry at a time when the e.u. desperately needs to get back on its feet economically speaking certainly germany though has managed to find a way around it instead of taxing businesses and factories it puts the entire burden of subsidies on ordinary households and as artie's peter all of a found out families are having a tough time keeping up with the green lobbies appetites. well their. support for green energy is entered in the german psyche it gets back even when it harms us that hurt is being felt in germany pockets right now i went to meet one billion mother who's finding paying for power a real problem. not my. one day or so it almost doubled two hundred euros it was not possible for me to pay across europe energy prices for homes have risen by seventeen percent over the last four years one of the reasons for price rises is the subsidies being paid out for solar and wind energy germany is set to

spend five hundred fifty billion euro on a plan to take eighty percent of its power from renewables over the next thirty seven years those costs being passed on to the consumer that's why it's being sold on the message that it's either wind energy or radioactive catastrophe this plays in these fears and makes money for the wind energy providers after the fukushima nuclear disaster germany increased its commitments to ditch atomic power bases seen more coal power plants having to be built to take up the slack the increasing cost is causing problems for manufacturers from the our industry is suffering big companies may decide that it's just too expensive and look to relocate. despite remaining heavily reliant on coal as a source of power germany sees itself as a trailblazer of renewable energy but that innovation comes at

a cost to both the consumer and to the country's industry peter all over r.t. early in the meantime the german government is reconsidering its subsidy program called expected to look at exactly how the handouts work for the immediate time being the costs continue to damage the economy it's something our team skating ability and can certainly tell us more about the host of venture capital a good morning to you morning to you for a good story to if i may so as consumers continuously see their utility bills rise the conflict between competitive business and the. us is escalating the decisions to subsidize selected technologies have bombed our energy prices so for example we rein in on germany finale and subsidies for renewable energy all right to get around sixteen billion euros a year and that's rising and in total says the introduction that sixty billion

there now the value of you tell it is on global stock exchanges all over the e.u. have gone from around one trillion euros in two thousand and eight to less than half of that now so as a consequence it's perhaps not surprising to me that investors they are losing interest now german utility company they seen their share price drop seventy five percent since their peak in around two thousand and seven and this is what we see of the company has to say about that and on impress the top so while the energy companies are losing patience our money environmentalist will they are pleased but the question is can make local economy and the average consumer afford renewable right now war can afford not. so it will be a bit of a bit of a conflict going on. the side of things on the cost side. of the equation out of the city that he compromised his defense

a complicated building. for a while europe's economy struggles. to the west financial domination still to come here on their program. also the indian leaders gathering right here so you can provide more credibility to push for a. world. from now on the program to the british public things that politicians rarely tell the truth and are unlikely to make mistakes but a recent poll shows just how little faith people in the u.k. . elected to represent. the streets of london to find out more. cash for questions selling access to the prime minister and of course m.p.'s abusing their expense accounts the story that just keeps on giving all of these scandals and more have come together to undermine the moral capital of politicians

and the amount of trust the able to command with the public a poll done earlier this year said britons think politicians tell the truth less than buying clothes all real estate agents don't tell nicholas allen co-author of a new book on ethics and politics says this creeping loss of trust goes right to the heart of the dishonesty of all governments and there is a perception i think that politicians have. become less and less onerous less ethical in the way they conduct both state politics if people perceive politicians to be generally immoral and dishonest the politicians are going to lose a certain amount of moral authority politicians governments need a moral authority if they're going to lead the public lead society down quite difficult policy parts the times we live in demona difficult policy poets raising

the pension age paying taxes to pay off the deficits everything to do with. the old require a real moral authority something politicians arguably just don't have as i found out outside their offices over their import calloused house politicians. i mean girls otherwise they wouldn't be there with you for the more i think it's a group of people away from their former rival frostiness be. paying this became something on how would i come across or how. i suspect in general i know very much the government is trying to do something about it focusing on the greatest transparency with money how politicians spend and misspent cash but dr allen spa. for laying on stony ground rather touchingly old people in the u.k. really wants is to know that when a politician says he or she will do something they'll do it and that could be the

hardest thing of all for the political class. are still to come here on the program another country where politicians so warm the public trust. talionis camp out in the streets clashing with riot police over government cuts and soaring unemployment they say the protests will not stop until the change. in syria but the state broadcaster are too afraid to appear on television after their colleagues had targeted by rebels trying to stop the government's message from getting out that story coming your way in just a second. but for now here on the program the russian and indian presidents are meeting right here in moscow to try and prove that power is shifting to other parts of the world with europe and america struggling these bric powerhouses are looking to take up some of the economic slack let's get more on this with our teams are joining us live here on the program arena good morning to

you. so we're talking about the possibility of moving away from the so-called auld world order of the cold war rhetoric are saying a lot of political analysts tell their end as well as leaders of the brics countries what are these countries well let's look at the letters centrally standing for brazil russia india china and south africa and these countries are essentially responsible for their covering more than one quarter of the planet. coverage and people living in these countries comprise almost half of the world's population is forty four and a half percent so definitely countries and people to be contended with and to listen to so the members of these countries came together and said hey finally it's about time we stepped from away. from the germany of the united states and the old europe we have enough power we have enough resources to make our voices count and to start moving away from them all from the single pull the world towards more of

the multipolar. stands in the world and these are the countries that are. officially establishing their own way of dealing when it comes to business and political issues for example they have already decided that they should be performing trade agreements or signing trade agreements essentially doing business in local currencies so it's things like that that these countries are definitely important for and definitely worth watching out for as well as you say you want to be agendas being promoted by that of the brics nations is as you say moving from dollar dependency to towards out of a multi-polar world but let's address one of the big guys out there one of the surging economies of the world out of what is what is india's role in all of this well india along with the two countries that are essentially have the largest population in the world and these are the two countries that have been off their ass the top of the countries that have been actually succeed performing really well

financially. developing at an exceptional rate so india is definitely going to be a strong player and actually is already of incredibly strong player in a lot of areas technology science obviously politics as well and there was their neighbor china has just recently said the united states along with its dollar currency is not helping the world anyhow it's actually dragging the world economy down and china was the first one to actually voice this this idea of stepping away from the dollar finally and moving towards something else perhaps a local currency or perhaps finding another currency in india is definitely on board with that again because of its proximity to china in. because of the role that india has been playing in the world affairs as of late whatever do you talk about of the issues you do with currencies global currency that of the reserve dollar but you know when we when we have economic discussions with for example the

indian financial rep's economic ministers here there are always going to be political objectives on the table as well absolutely let's not forget about those monies good but then there's also the issue of safety and if you look at the map there is india very close to it is of galveston and pakistan so of course what are we going to be dealing with we're going to be dealing with issues of drug trafficking and terrorism and this is something where india and russia could really play a huge role especially they put their heads together and develop some sort of cooperation in those areas so these are the things we're going to be watching out for today all right all teacher in english were there right in front of the kremlin thanks. well still to come here on the program. grain of the country's police allegedly shooting dead an opposition activist sparking yet a new wave of program form protests do stay with us for that it's coming your way just after the break.

at one time i save money to hire a hitman to shoot me dead from the next building through the open window. i searched through the internet typing things like i'm looking for you i'm waiting for you before i wrote i'm waiting for you i'm looking for you i didn't care at all what this man would be like deprived to see. with you know you want. the battery is right. i love everything about him i have grown to love every here everyone interesting to him actually be healthy years and also guys who drink beer in a bench i've always promised that if she ever realizes it's too much for her and she decides to leave me i will accept her decision without criticism because it's her choice.

science technology innovation all these developments around russia. the future. live from moscow it's r t brussels is expected to finalize a new set of rules aimed at stopping the transfer of e.u. data to third countries it is the first attempt at legislation in reaction to the revelations of whistleblower edward snowden and the measure would make america's secret court orders powerless forcing companies to comply with european laws now fines running it's a billions of euros are designed to discourage anyone from violating the new law snowden's fightings actually forced you political groupings to reach agreement over

an issue that had caused a two year gridlock although former m i five agent annie masha on she thinks there's still an awful lot of room for improvement when it comes to protecting one's privacy i do think it's good first step it's certainly something that the european community tried to do over ten years ago they tried to do two years ago and were lobbied out that by washington and edward snowden's disclosures ensured that they now have to do it one would hope as brazil is doing that we would look at how in europe we can protect our communications infrastructure the hardware that's at the base of everything we use because if we can't trust that at the moment we can't because it's very much under u.s. control then we have some serious problems it could also be a very good business opportunity for european countries to develop their infrastructure and start using things like open thought software so that they're not u.s. dependent and i think that might be the way to go in europe certainly to protect ourselves against this. regis and omnipotent snooping that we've seen over the last

few years from the n.s.a. . well is investigative journalism now a thing of the past and the government's the only ones forming the media agenda is a hot topic and it's up for debate today with people of l. and his guests and crosstalk here's a quick sample of what's coming your way at six thirty am g.m.t. . it's also often a question of spinning the information in misleading ways and framing the debates in misleading ways c.n.n. is a car you had on three billionaires in the past week to discuss the inequality of wealth where they talk about redistributing wealth as the evil of allowing the people who who produce things to keep some of it yeah i was just going to jump in i think that i don't disagree with that but i also think that this is something that's happening existed. as long as there's been media in this country and right now where there's an opportunity though with the technology and i hate that phrase for use it is sort

of like that what i would call an informational elite who understand what's happening and hopefully have the influence and we've seen it c.i.r. is that we have an ability to push information stories out not through necessarily big corporate media that we partner with them but through social media through gauge went tools that really create an impact in every cell to. shift our attention out of out of syria or the date has been set for the long awaited peace conference on the war torn state the geneva two talks will start now on the twenty third of november and the government of bashar al assad has reiterated its willingness to take part those stressing it will not negotiate with terrorists and this comes after thirty people were killed in a suicide truck bombing at an army checkpoint outside the syrian city of hama the blast at a nearby fuel tanker on fire then causing several more explosions and it's quite an army installation being the target most of the dead were civilians just earlier

sixteen more people were victims of a blast on the outskirts of damascus the capital now remaining the main objective for opposition fighters who often target civilians and as artie's paullus live reports they also seem bent on scaring and killing the state media journalists. these pictures were long time coming syria's state t.v. headquarters in flames the attack occurred just always after rebel groups wound they challenged damascus with mortars. you know. i think their main goal is to intimidate people to stop us from working they want us to think twice about working for syrian t.v. like other employees of syrian state t.v. this woman is afraid to show her face. she is one of the names listed in this website set up by the rebels and the each a name and photograph is the word one tid those with crosses through them are

people who have already been killed. the irony is that those who make t.v. are now too afraid to appear on us this video editor was given an ultimatum either come work for us the rebels threatened or we'll kill you he managed to escape but a few weeks ago he came home to the message wherever you are you dog of the regime we will find you painted on his front door and this with this i've lost the feeling of fear after i saw a man beheaded in front of me and mortar shells falling all around you forget what fear is but the pain and heartbreak remain idea bus his brother ali carmel was an editor in chief of the syrian news agency he was killed by four bullets shot at close range after masked gunmen broke into his home. the strange thing is that we were never afraid for him we were afraid for my other brothers quine the army without our lives

a severe i mean you'll be safe but they kill him because they don't want anybody to tell the truth even just those appearing on t.v. are being threatened they call a couple of time to adjust to it say that your body will be shot off wrong they haven't they said we know who you are we not the location we cannot kill you we're going to cut your head from the body you are. this is what they say exactly the fear for many is that this list is long there were many names on it and scenes like this could well be repeated until every last one of them is deleted policy r.t. damascus syria. and you can always go online for many more stories including for this hour about of runaway train but certainly are scaring them. metro as a driver to his death leaving a dozen packed carriages hotelling on to the next station no one behind the wheel.

and banking goliath j.p. morgan set to pay out of record thirteen billion dollars to settle criminal proceedings into an alleged information that helped plunge the global economy into a crisis that is also one of the other many stories online for you this hour. i saved money to hire a hitman to shoot me dead from the next building through the open window. i searched through the internet typing things like i'm looking for you i'm waiting for you i wrote i'm waiting for you know i'm looking for you i didn't care at all what this man would feel like deprived to see. you know you want. the battery is ruined. i love everything about him i have grown to love every here every one of. him actually be healthier than other guys who drink

beer in a bench i've always promised that if she ever realizes it's too much for her and she decides to leave me i will accept your decision without criticism because it's her choice. choose your language. with. some of. the concerns you. choose to use the degree to. choose the stories that imply the. choose be access to. right the so. first strike. and i think that your.

orders. in. the end. it's a busy day for news here on r t thanks for joining us here on the program to rome we go now where angry protesters are continuing rallies against a fresh round of government cuts and camping out in the streets of the capital tens of thousands took part in a weekend machos which violent at one point you can see here the crowds were throwing rocks and bottles of the finance ministry building and of course they clashed with the riot police demonstrators saying they will not relent until they get an official reaction to their plight italian politics expert james walston warns more unrest could certainly be looming with very different social groups now

united in anger against the politicians they want to mobilize the city so this would lease is going on probably go on for in different ways for a long time not so many people from the employers to the trade unions to different political parties and very strong protests from. young people very suits who said we do not like the government and we don't like the budget we want a recovery budget we want a growth budget this is what they're complaining about at least they complain about the same thing is the employers it's an unusual situation but that's what we have to really going to be close. over budget they've been spending trying not to go. situation. all right to be iraqi capital now to open up the world update at least thirty nine people killed fifty injured in three bomb attacks across baghdad on

sunday evening and the worst of it full of explosives was driven into a cafe in a mainly shia district killed thirty seven a roadside bombs the other two lives and this certainly has been an increase in violence in recent months more than six thousand deaths in just this year. and pro-reform protesters onto the streets of rain after the death of an opposition leader accusing regime forces of killing him the man indeed has already been sentenced in absentia to fifteen years in prison for protesting against the government of the gulf country though witnessing regular demonstrations now for the past two years. and to egypt where police arrested fifty five students softer security forces fired tear gas at crowds over supporters against the ousted president morsi and some ended up a seat in an islamic university with strong links to the muslim brotherhood it's the second day of unrest in cairo university is close to where it is in the midst

of a protest camp which was demolished you know. and the bushfires continue to rage out of control in southeastern australia a new south wales the worst state now declaring an emergency after two hundred homes were destroyed dry winds and soaring temperatures could only made things worse hundreds of people already evacuated to safety though one man killed while trying to protect his property and the fire is the worst in the region in four decades. now talk about finding love against the odds coming up here in our special documentary about two very different individuals. it seems like politicians can get away with anything nowadays but not all of them the former mayor of failed detroit has been sentenced to twenty years in prison

after being found guilty of committing record tiering conspiracy fraud extortion and tax crimes while mayor yeah the prosecutors say he funneled millions of dollars to himself and family members all while detroit moved headstrong towards the bankrupt state it is in today this is big news not because some mayor took bribes but because he got punished the judge who could fix him stated why this is such an important case she said at the very least a significant sentence will send a message that this kind of conduct will not be tolerated yes sending a message you see corrupt officials are usually cowards and they do what they do because they feel they can get away with it when you start to put the fear of god into them they start to behave much better so the question is will the mainstream media grab the story and really use the conviction of detroit's former mayor is an example probably not but it would really help the country if they would but that's just my opinion. morris how do you tell him what's your name.

since i was born i haven't been able to get all my body was slowly changing my spine was curving my ribs were tightening well i guess you can see for yourselves. at first the doctors told my parents i wouldn't make it to five years when we went to hospital they'd say you're still alive. but despite my body deep inside i'm a worrier and i always wanted to die a different way not in a hospital ward not because of this illness. when i saved money to hire a hitman to shoot me dead from the next building or. the open window with you. is in my way even told my parents or my brother about it they were shocked at first of course but then somehow resigned. i told them that if i saved enough money would

have been then changed my mind i give them all the money to renovate the apartment . and i can think what you could possibly do to make my hair beautiful. just the opposite and i was always the last girl to catch him and so i and the ones who didn't notice me were mostly drunk men just didn't go for me. my life seemed pointless i was twenty one and my peers all had families or at least boyfriends. everything was as it should be for them but nothing like that was happening to me the sinner's went outside i could hear people laughing behind my back i know i know this stick.
