is that nuts in itself a form of anarchy. germany's green dream morphs into a nightmare for the consumer as per cent handouts for a new energy billions to pills. i mean girls otherwise it wouldn't be the crisis of confidence a series of scandals leave the reputation of u.k. politicians at rock bottom the british public saying they can't be trusted even to admit when 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 hit with billions of euros in fines.

this hour's top world headlines live from moscow it's r t with me will receive thanks for joining in for today's program robin hood like subsidies for green power are driving the e.u. towards an energy crisis now this according to europe's top utility for the problem they say is a billions in handouts a killing innovation and competitiveness and the results are there for all to see and let's bring them up for you looking at the cost of energy in the e.u. and elsewhere in china for example a kilowatt hour is going to cost you around seven cents in the u.s. a few cents more double that though and you've got france where at least though the prices are kept a bit down due to the out of nuclear power but almost double that again and you've got germany over here twenty seven cents that's four times higher than china well needless to say it's bad news for industry at a time when the e.u. desperately needs to get back on its feet and certainly economically speaking

germany though has found a way to get around it instead of taxing businesses and. factories it puts the entire burden of subsidies on ordinary households as are his peter all of a found out families are having a tough time trying to keep up with out of the green lobbies appetites. well their . support for green energy is anchored in the german psyche it gets back even when it harms us that hurt is being felt in german 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 other before 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 renewal energy but that innovation comes at a cost to both the consumer and to the country's industry piece or all of our r.t.

. now the german government is reconsidering its subsidy program. now expected to look at exactly how the belts work for the immediate time being the anger continues to build as artie's kitty pilgrim now explains 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 bumped up prices so for example we rein in on germany for now then 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 lessen hoth

of that now so as a consequence it's perhaps not surprising to you that investors they are losing interest now german utility company eon they seen their share price drop seventy five percent since their peak in around two thousand and seven and this is what we see the company has to say about that tsunami impressive talk so while the energy companies are losing patience our money the environmentalists will they are pleased but the question is can they global economy and the average consumer afford renewable right now war can it afford not to host a venture capital or their arteries kitty pilgrim britain now wants the best of both worlds and it's just authorized the construction of a new nuclear power plant the first in a generation it'll be built by a french led consortium and according to the plan it will help power u.k.'s grid for the next fifteen years. reverberations continue to go across the european

economy it struggles indeed an alternative to the west's receding financial domination russia and indian counterparts out of indian finance ministers meeting here in moscow seeking to provide more credibility to a push for a multi polar world. it's good to have you with us here on r.t. today the british public thinks that politicians rarely tell the truth and unlikely to own up if they make mistakes now a recent poll shows just how much i should say what lack of faith people in the u.k. have when it comes to those that they elected to represent dispatched laura smith on to the streets of london to try and find out some. 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 franco's all real estate agents don't and 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 legitimacy 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 based on 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 moral authority if they're going to lead the public lead society down quite difficult policy parts the times we live in dimona difficult policy poets raising the pension age paying taxes to pay off the deficits everything to do with austerity they all 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. remember the girls otherwise they would be there with you for the more i think it's a group of people away from their former rival frostiness the breeze the stars the pain 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 allan spa. ground's rather touchingly old people in the u.k. really wants 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. still to come for you here on the

program another country where politicians of war and public trust. camping out in the streets and clashing with riot police over government. unemployment they say the protests will not stop until there's real change. and over to syria for the state broadcaster are too afraid to appear on t.v. . by rebels trying to stop the government's message from getting out. for the meantime with europe and america struggling the brics powerhouses are looking to take up some of the economic slack of the russian and indian presidents are meeting right here in moscow to try and prove that power really is shifting to other parts of the world. and i had a talk about it a short while ago. we're talking about the possibility of moving away from this

so-called auld world order enough of the cold war rhetoric are saying a lot of political analysts out there and 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 covering more than one quarter of the planet's land coverage and people living in these countries comprise almost half of the world's population it's forty four and a half percent so definitely countries and people to be contended with and to listen to so the numbers of these countries came together and said hey finally it's about time we stepped away from the germany of the united states and the old europe for example they have already decided that they should be doing business in local currencies 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 india what is what is india's role in all this in fact india has just gotten quite a high rating from transparency international which called india one of the world's most transparent countries and in fact it's the most open among the brics countries and of course india along with china are our two most populous countries in the world and just recently india's neighbor china has just said that we need to do away with the american way of thinking and america has been along with its dollar idea dragging the world down instead of trying to lift it up and supported but you know when we when we have economic discussions with for example the indian financial reps the economic ministers here in moscow there are always going to be political objectives on the table as well absolutely must not forget about those you look at the map you see india and then you next to it you see not just china. segments in the lot but also pakistan and afghanistan the battle with drug

trafficking and of course terrorism that's definitely where moscow and delhi are going to put their heads together and figure out you way to deal with these problems. there when he spoke to her a bit earlier in the program and still to come for you here on. the country police allegedly shooting an opposition leader sparking just another wave of program form protests that's coming up after the break here on the rest of the top headlines for this hour. when i save money to hire a hitman to shoot me from the next building through the open window. i search through the internet typing things like i'm looking for you i'm waiting for you i wrote i'm waiting for you i'm looking for you i didn't care at all what this

man would be like to have to see. you know you want the battery is. everything about him i have grown to love every here every one of. him actually be healthier 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 her decision without criticism. technology innovation all the developments around russia. the future.

thanks for joining us here on the program on arts he and brussels is expected to finalize a new set of rules aimed at stopping the transfer of e.u. data to third countries it's the first attempt at legislation in reaction to the revelations of whistleblower edward snowden now the measure would make america's secret court orders powerless forcing companies no choice but to comply with european laws fines running into billions of euros are designed to discourage anyone from violating the new law of snowden's findings actually forced political groupings to reach agreement over an issue that caused a two year gridlock now among the priorities of the that of limiting data collection that is to keep it limited to the minimum necessary while also protecting an individual's right to erase any private information stored online now

m i five agent annie marshawn a former agent with them now she thinks that they're still an awful lot of room for improvement. controversial issue of protecting privacy i do think it's good step it's certainly something that the european community tried to do over ten years ago they tried to do two years ago and will not be doubted 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 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 source 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. now is investigative journalism a thing of the past and the government is the only ones forming the media's agenda as well that's a big question the piddle of l. and his guests certainly lock horns over that's in today's edition of crosstalk a before we get there for now a quick preview of what you can watch at eleven thirty am g.m.t. . it's also been 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 that we've seen it c.i.r. is that we've got an ability to push information in stories out not through necessarily big corporate media that we partner with them but through social media through gage print tools that really create an impact in every cell of. the anti global update not far off an hour the date has been set for the long awaited peace conference on syria and the so-called geneva two talks will start on the twenty third of november meantime the government of bashar al assad has reiterated its willingness to take part though stressing it will not negotiate with terrorists it comes after thirty people were killed in a suicide truck bombing at an army checkpoint just outside the syrian city of hama the blast said in nearby fuel tanker on fire causing several more explosions despite an army installation being the target most of the dead were civilians and

just earlier sixteen more people were victims of a blast on the outskirts of damascus the capital remaining at one of the main objectives for opposition fighters who do often target civilians as are his policy reports they also seem bent on scaring and killing state media journalists. these pictures were long time coming syria's state t.v. hit quarters in flames that the attack could just always have to be able. discuss with mortars. and young women so uncalled for 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 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 it 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 witness 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 and got a victim of id 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 civilian 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 say that your body will be shot off pronged the head 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 look at. and scenes like this could well be repeated until every last one of them is to. damascus syria. always and many more stories to be found online for you for this one including the underground runaway a scare in the moscow metro as a driver folds out of a train to his death leaving a carriage to the next station with no one behind the wheel.

to pay out zero. dollars criminal proceedings this into an alleged information coverup that helped to plunge the global economy into a crisis that's also what you're right now. the olympic torch is on its epic journey to such a. one hundred twenty three days. through two thousand nine hundred ton two cities of russia. relayed by georgian dozen people or sixty five thousand killings.

in a record setting trip by land air sea and others face. alleged victoria treeless. on r t r g dot com. as you don't know as you know very chorused response to ruse. most everyone in my life that i cared about their goal much and then it became a scam well. i was a national champion in track and field and also i was able to go in qualify for the olympic games. you know nine hundred eighty eight i started to experiment with that the drugs i had lost all the financial means that i. was really on the street.

black market kids. great wall street kids. and i thanks for joining us here on r.t. today angry protesters in italy a continuing rallies against a fresh round of government cuts and the now camping out on the streets of the capital to voice their anger tens of thousands taking part in a weekend march as they did turn violent at one point here the crowds are they threw rocks and bottles of the finance ministry building of course clashing with the riot police demonstrators saying they will not stop until they get an official reaction to their plight italian politics expert james walston he warns more unrest

could certainly be looming with very different social groups now all the united together in anger against the politicians. they want to mobilize the city so this is going on probably go on in different ways for a long time so many people from the employers to the trade unions to different political parties and very strong protests from young people various sorts who said we do not like the government we don't like the budget we want a recovery budget we want a growth budget this is what they're complaining about really they complain about the same thing is the employers it's an unusual situation. that's what we have really grown we was. spending too much trying to go. there is illusory to situation. are some other headlines now in brief for you an explosion on a passenger train has killed at least six and wounded seventeen in pakistan and the

express was traveling to catarrh and a blown bomb on the tracks exploded near a station in a block of chan the blast damaged at least four coaches and derailed the train. and bush fires are raging out of control in southeastern australia are the worst hit state is new south wales are declaring an emergency with two hundred homes destroyed dry winds and soaring temperatures could make things worse in the coming days hundreds evacuated at least one person killed while trying to protect his house in the fires the worst in four decades. an afghan army special forces commander has defected to a taliban allied group it's the first known case of an officer switching sides in the country's fight against insurgency officials say he sent some of his subordinates on leave and paid others to go sightseeing he then raided the team supplies taking about thirty guns binoculars night vision goggles and the military

. now program form protesters spilled onto the streets of bahrain's capital for the death of an opposition activist they accuse regime forces of killing who say they believe you had already been sentenced in absentia to fifteen years in prison for criticizing the government the gulf country has witnessed regular demonstrations for more than two years now as opposition forces accuse the want to keep refusing to talk about reforms sophie shevardnadze discussed the prospects of the uprising with prominent bahraini activist mariam. is a quick taste of what's coming up at nine thirty am g.m. . what is anarchy i mean a for 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 night raids where we have children being picked off the streets where we have people attacked with tear gas inside their homes where torture is rampant is

that not in itself as a form of anarchy we don't really have a system that is you know governed by a legal system there are no laws basically the police are free to do what they want government officials are free to do what they want in my opinion that is anarchy in itself. or right so an online love go to cancun or curious it's coming your way. 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 dare you. and 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. a different way not in a hospital ward not because of this illness. you know when time of year i save money to hire a hitman to shoot me dead from the next building through the open window you. 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. i can think what you could possibly do to make my hair beautiful. just the opposite and i was always still as a girl to catch a man 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 centers went outside i could hear people laughing behind my back i know.
