to the place that some. of our minds. closed for business europe's struggles to shut its doors to the flow of illegal migrants from the middle east and north africa economically unstable nations like italy and greece taking the biggest burden. and police brutality protests sweep the u.s. on a national day of action with activists saying the call simply have too much power and it's too happy to use it. even right here at about two pm local time that a blast ripped through bus twenty nine six dead. and a city in mourning in just a few minutes here on we reconstruct the deadly volgograd bombings social media terror a fund raising for the moment the religious zealotry claimed innocent life. it's

twelve o'clock noon here in moscow with tsotsi live with me roll resewn from the entire news team here welcome to the program. italy wants a shake up of europe's asylum policies because it's struggling to deal with a stampede of immigrants things have gotten worse over the last several years because large numbers of refugees flee conflicts in the middle east and north africa some of which were fueled by italy's more hawkish e.u. colleagues and more than a half arrived on packed migrant ferries risking their lives for asylum with many never making it italy and greece are among the most affected putting pressure on their already burdened economies let's bring up some numbers for you here on r.t. to give you a broader scope of what we mean for example the official stats suggesting that migrants from outside the e.u. and now more than twenty million in italy every twentieth man is

a registered immigrant and to greece the numbers even higher more than seven percent now of the entire population and the number of asylum applications in italy has increased by more than one hundred percent compared to last year and greece is only second when it comes to the highest number of pending applications number two to germany that is let's get some more details on these facts and figures from artie's are you go to prison off. they want to buy the food from the opium to saddam then traveled to libya and finally reach sicily after what must have been the most nerve wrecking ball right of their lives these three women are hiding their faces from the camera since now they're risking being sent back when we were at sea now the boat with refugees sank into a three hundred people died but we were lucky and in sicily will manage to avoid getting registered it's illegal between need to go further north there is nothing for us here under regulation all newcomers must seek asylum in the country where they are right and under italian law anyone of voiding registration is sent home

but nowadays more and more newcomers are ready to take their chances don't register to try to go to northern states where there are more opportunities but with your problem when you arrive here they give you the very minimum there is no jobs no school and you sleep in the street for six months italy is one of the worst european states in this regard youth unemployment has exceeded forty percent while the economy is in the worst recession since the second world war international obligations and plain human principles can't allow italy to turn away refugees since for many is the only chance for survival but the situation is now which to a point when this duty has become too heavy for it to handle on its own the e.u. has pledged italy would receive an additional thirty million euro or just over forty million dollars to deal with the refugee crisis but how will this help to distribute the more evenly throughout the union and integrate them into the economy is not clear they have been so on ideas so far they cherry they may be some

positive. and i see embodies a lot of. good hope but no concrete ideas and as governments and international organizations brainstorm the solution one thing is certain the flow of refugees is only going to continue the work is going on r.t. italy. the fight against police brutality has seen protesters come out across america and around. plays against the heavy armor of the law were held in a number of cities he is an associate chuck and i went to one of them to find out why the people there are simply so angry. in new york and dozens of other cities across the west a national day of protests to stop police brutality repression and the criminalization of a generation this is a time which will enter second marks the eighteenth time these people gather for this simple message this is not to judge you see how they treat us they shoot us like animals and that's completely unwarranted is literally on warranted when

something breaks through like trayvon martin. league re-emerged sean bell it gets treated in the media like this is a isolated incident something that rarely happens and then more often it's not reported at all organizers have been documented cases of what they call the stole lives project they say just over the last two decades thousands of killings have taken place by the hand of police officers they say the majority of these cases have been under reported or brushed aside hundreds every year were killed by the police that the majority of them were unarmed and not involved in any criminal activity when they were killed and also the majority of them were young and either black or latino the mass media is a very good propaganda saw a lot of people are under the impression that people are being stopped and frisked being gunned somehow criminals one of the major concerns for these protesters seems

to be the lack of accountability when it comes to gun violence police brutality and even killings that are currently under the hands of law enforcement they see the justice system continues to neglect these cases of violence thus not doing anything to improve the system and bring about real change you have to go through hell and high water just to get a conviction of the officer and what he's convicted for doesn't meet the crime to he's accuse any winds up if not he and found. even if he's convicted he gets out on good behavior after serving minimal time activists and families of victims called police brutality in the us a pandemic considering the united states lectures the rest of the world on human rights it's time that it follow its own example not just words but deeds. and an awful lot of news to cover for you today here on r t including washington on its most useful friend in the middle east going through a bit of a rough patch saudi arabia says it's reconsidering its partnership with america

after it failed to strike syria and then went ahead and promised talks with iran although the u.s. is downplaying the drama saying it's all a bunch of hype. no poetic justice in qatar human rights groups condemning the fifteen year sentence for an activist who criticized the regime. thanks for joining us here in our seats today a roadside service has been held in volgograd in memory of the six victims of the suicide bombing on monday and more than forty were wounded in that attack with doctors still fighting to save the lives of those who were critically hurt lindsey france piece together what happened on that day starting with the unassuming beginning all the way to the horrifying. october twenty first started just like any other monday here in volgograd people woke up with places to go and things to get but heavily using bus stations just like this but for several people needing bus

number twenty nine they could never have foreseen how quickly their lives would change when they took that ride. the route ran without incident from morning till afternoon until one person got on board thirty year old why you don't see all of that is when things took a tragic turn anastasio diversion of all was on her way home from classes at the university laughing and talking with the other students crucially it was being in the middle of the bus which saved her life. shoes when the blast hit everything around me when flying and from that moment i don't remember anything on there recall being thrown onto her window then suddenly finding myself on the street and in a panic i realised something had happened to my hands i was covered in blood. it was right here at about two pm local time that a blast ripped through bus twenty nine filled with about forty people first responders thought it was perhaps a malfunction of the bus fuel systems but aside from the shop they fell to ask

themselves if this was a gas explosion was the fire. that broke loose rock or that everybody in the blast was touching their faces and heads asking what happened what happened there was a lot of blood on them and a lot of flesh everywhere i was very afraid i let out of my car and i saw the head lying there i mean my friend took a young boy and his father to the hospital the remnant of an explosive device told the shrapnel t.n.t. and a grenade the accident site became a crime scene while a jihad just from republic of dagestan became the central focus of the investigation and then the story took another twist the attack wasn't meant for volgograd at all as the all of a had apparently taken a detour. she had purchased a ticket to moscow and boarded an intercity boss that passed through volgograd when

the bus was almost at the city limits i see all of our gado and went back to downtown belgrade right now investigators are trying to find out whether this move had been planned in advance or are over altered the plan along the way looking for a place packed with as many people as possible also under suspicion are three men believed to have helped in the plot to attack the russian capital two from dagestan wanted for twin terror attacks there in two thousand and twelve were said to be waiting for her in moscow on his way there was an aussie all of us husband dimitri sokol of an ethnic russian convert to islam missing since two thousand and twelve some reports suggest the couple had an argument shortly before the attack which may have caused the last minute change in her deadly plans authorities will be keen to find her husband in the hope he may have the answers lindsey france r.t. in volgograd it is well known that terrorists tend to plot their attacks hidden away in small clusters called cells for terrorism nowadays could be changing with

criminals openly engaging in society and using social media to raise their money on things poll scott father story isn't his name so we don't even know what happened please help us. well this is the russian t.v. program called wait for me it's june two thousand and thirteen and a distraught mother is making an appeal for information for the return of her missing son who's been missing for around a year now it's the type of appeal that's been at hundreds of times before over the years and at first glance nothing appears to be out of the ordinary and likewise this appeal in a russian social networking site doesn't appear to be out of the ordinary it's an appeal for funds so that a friend can receive medical treatment for an incurable disease while the friends turn out to be naïve. the suicide bomber who carried out monday's volgograd bus bombing the son turned out to be dimitri circle of an explosives expert wanted by the authorities and living on the run having converted to islam

a married couple headed to dagestan after meeting at a moscow university. believe that at the very same time these appeals were being made public plans for monday's volgograd bus bombing were being hatched and those who donated rubles to help a sick woman or phoned in information to help a distressed mother later discovered those capable of carrying out such atrocities don't always shun mainstream society and in some cases play an active part in it. and on our website right now witness accounts. much more on the alleged perpetrators and also see the suicide bombers bus ticket which she apparently planned to use to get here to moscow. are still to come here on the program on r t revelations of the sheer scale of n.s.a. spying in france it's got the country's politicians in a state of shock. if we are going to follow the same direction then confrontation.

yet another reporter exposes the alleged u.s. surveillance of the united nations and the unleashing of a swarm of spyware right inside the hard drives of diplomats computers. and the gifts that keep on giving young women in the u.k. . take to specialize online dating sites so all in the hope their older men will shower them in money and gifts that's just ahead for your hero nazi.

a pleasure to have you with us here today i'm sure. to see. first street. and i think that your. reporters. if you're just joining us welcome to the program here on our t.v. america and its best friend in the gulf they could be in for a difficult break up a saudi arabia's ruling families are rather upset with changes to u.s.

foreign policy now the worst case scenario for washington could be a disruption to oil supplies however white house officials insist that the whole raw is no big deal and saudis guy nature can explains they've been wrong before. saudi arabia hates the fact that he was didn't bomb syria saudi arabia did everything possible to make it happen and he didn't saudi arabia hates iran and any mentioning of a possible nuclear deal between the us and iran washington and tehran are far from any deal really but even the talk irritates saudi arabia so saudi arabia decided to go public with all that invitation the saudi prince bandar bin sultan said there will be quote a major shift away from the us and that it will affect arms purchases and oil sales and most recently citing a protest against the us saudi arabia refused the seat at the un security council so could an ally be turning into a fog i spoke with professor dowd. the u.s. has invested a lot in the relationship with saudi arabia and now saudi arabia is rightly the us

i mean talking all supplies and all we hear is this alliance going well the. heavy price by supporting saudi arabia saudi arabia and many of the gulf countries are probably the most undemocratic the most corrupt. and they have contributed to the sense of alienation between do you. know who are. specially. to take this position. i think i don't think that there will be a total disconnect but if there would be one it would be in the best interest of the. whole. the u.s. would not be associated with a country that is to generate terrorism it will not be associated with

a leader like but who is. playing a major role in the bloody war going on and supporting terror the u.s. now downplays this shift with saudi arabia possibly thinking that the saudis are not going to go too far but the u.s. has underestimated dynamic before with saddam hussein he was an ally of one point with a major he did in afghanistan and other folks so in this case it all depends on how four saudi arabia is actually willing to go with this number in virginia i'm going to strike them or to moscow i'm rori sushi and qatar we go where a simple rhymes can land you in jail a court has upheld a fifteen year sentence for a poet found guilty of insulting the ruler and inciting people to oust the government the decision for the activists who were sympathetic to the arab spring has been condemned by various rights organizations and nicholas mcginn ever

searcher from human rights watch he says the case is clearly politically motivated . from what we've seen of the poms that were on board it onto the internet doesn't seem to be a saying that he's guilty of these offenses and of course you know the offenses are a country it's international standards of freedom of expression and we saw it it does seem to be a case that has a political slant to it yes you are it gives you a look at the manner in which he was treated pretrial he in addition to that he wasn't present for many of the original trial stations and five he wasn't even present for the the final court of appeal decision which was a yesterday morning for us you know what pressure on both agree and we're not seeing a lot of pressure on me make it out of grammar and count i was doesn't have the same levels of the mastic dissenters they do it's the same story the issue where they are getting pressures migrant workers' rights no point but generally speaking of international community can be a bit silent where the goals can sound and obviously. to some extent enables them

to as you say to get away with some serious human rights violations lots of goodies on our website this hour including a very special souvenir from iran to russia a copy of a cia spy drone in the tehran says it shot down two years ago at r.t. dot com we've got the full story including how the machine was captured reverse engineered and decoded why is there you can also check out this other story brain from. a european science satellite expected to fall back to earth after two and a half years working overtime it will be split though into fifty peter's pieces as it goes through reentry where the debris ends up. anyone's guess. just one in twenty minutes past the hour here in moscow and his latest official statement on n.s.a. spying in france the u.s. has labeled allegations that it logged millions of phone calls a lie this hasn't stopped the newspaper le monde however from publishing yet another report this one about how america got the diplomatic upper hand by bugging

computers at the united nations and more than half a billion. in dollars was reportedly used to keep the so-called genie spy program up and running a genie being the sibling of a notorious prism project it allegedly sold millions of machines and fire walls and route was all getting infected and dominique de villepin who served as the country's prime as well as interior and foreign minister he says of the end of the day once again the u.s. has simply crossed the line. we knew that to some practices where existed but the search and overall system this came as a surprise for everybody in fact what we are seeing today is the incredible privileges of the us administration over the control of the world system we knew that the us were controlling the financial system through the banking dominance of some big banks through the dollar currency reserve currency but

controlling internet controlling the information you know well this is a privilege and monopoly if we are going to follow the same direction then confrontation might be electable but here at r.t. we spoke to civil rights activist norman solomon he thinks the u.s. is trying to undo the damage to its image but isn't for a moment thinking about changing its spy policies president obama is extremely adept at dancing through this kind of a firestorm and saying that he's willing to disclose and willing to be more forthcoming and he's willing to re-evaluate frankly he said that earlier this year when there was a big speech he gave in washington about the use of drones and yet we saw almost no change in actual policy once it could be measured so i think one way to put that in context is that after secretary of state kerry arrived in paris in the last day he

told a news conference that he would not discuss intelligence matters so there's a lot of fog coming from the white house and the state department not a lot of substance. to athens we go to open up the world update where the greek parliament has passed a law banning government funding to parties whose members are involved in criminal activity and this means the golden dawn party is funding will be frozen after its leaders were charged in connection with the killing of an anti fascist musician a death. violent protests across the country the party denies being a neo nazi movement despite its swastika like symbol. and bank of america says the u.s. government has failed to produce any evidence to back up its lawsuit for mortgage fraud the four week trial coming to an end the bank could be forced to pay our six billion dollar fine if found guilty at the institution is accused of misleading lenders during the housing boom that led to the two thousand and eight mortgage

crisis but some economists say the government is simply searching for scapegoats. so the banks that were responsible for the housing boom it was the government that's actually losing the banks right now i mean how they have been overinflated for probably half a century is a root directory result of washington policy is this is every u.s. president was like housing has a person's greatest thing ever. it was just sort of riding the wave they were looking for well in at the very early rise and they found them mostly with a big surprise government backed. and in other world news twenty five police officers three civilians killed in iraq's anbar province gunman suicide bombers some driving cars full of explosives launched the attacks authorities in the region forced to declare a curfew more than six thousand killed in just this year also. hundreds of workers in london's chinatown stopped the work making

a racket as they marched through the streets in protest of police raids against illegal immigrants waving banners and slogans they said the searches were racist and poorly targeted more than a dozen businesses searched in recent months. so they're young and attractive they have lots of debts to pay some female university students in the u.k. turning to pay for dating websites where men can lavish gifts and cash on the girl of their choice sara for three reports young pretty student seeks wealthy older man welcome to the world of sugar daddy dating where anything you want question. can apparently be yours at the click of a button. websites like seeking arrangement link up young sugar babies like nineteen year old sarah with sugar daddies men who are willing to cough up some

serious cash. and. be in reality there probably are. between. seven and eight think about seeking arrangement launched recently in the u.k. students in particular it seems they've taken to the concept that's not surprising given the rising cost of tuition fees for the controversial dating websites released the twenty british universities that have the highest number of students signing up and see who's one of the top the list according to seeking arrangement survey eighty percent of relationships that through the website some form of physical intimacy the remaining twenty percent claim to be platonic i spoke to the site's founder brandon wade about the criticism that this is another form of prostitution it's like the power of it's like

a mind think this is what i mean it's how you use the system and how you use the mind well it's a tool to find a better life to find it or it can be exploited by using the site to really explode on people or as you say to do the illegal the websites say they operate a robust system to weed out these engaging in illegal activity and that they kick off roughly one hundred members every day for violating the rules and if you're wondering by now what the payoff is my mama she hard and i was a prosecutor said already she heard that she actually stopped. contact with. you. i do have a ticket at this lake i don't have to get. served at a london or at a time now to take the mainstream media to task abby martin breaking the set just a moment.

well into the. city for good but don't billion euros a test to be one of the people to keep them talking mark not to sell something piece back to front the trouble in search of a song. we've got the future covered. the olympic torch is on its epic journey to such a. one hundred twenty three days. through two thousand one hundred towns and cities of russia. relayed by fourteen thousand people or sixty five thousand killings. in a record setting trip by land air sea and outer space. a little fake torch relay. on archie archie dot com.

what's going on guys i'm having martin and this is breaking the set of eyes it's almost all the way in so i decided to open the show with a good old fashioned story this one is about a senate bill called the cyber intelligence sharing and protection act or since. it is bill essentially makes tech companies illegally immune from sharing private user data with the u.s. government and the house passed the n.s.a. what dream of the bill earlier this summer and the senate was all ready to give it

could go ahead but then edward van helsing snowden started disclosing one surveillance program after the other and. once and for all that gas was at its back . and who's leading the charge to pass in the senate none other than senator dianne frankenstein. but not without the help of n.s.a. director keith alexander who specially requested that the zombie bill be resurrected and as much as i wish that this was an urban legend to keep the snowden's the world up at night this is the bill's alive and well so it's up to us to bury it once and for all back in the ground where it belongs. the peaceably was terrible and they are looking very hard to take over the security for the long run that he ever had sex with that her think they're looking. for the killers.

to the for the little. little. low. low low low low low low low. low low. low. october twenty second is the national day against police brutality even though many are using today as a platform to spread awareness about police violence this overstepping of authority is happening every hour of every day across the country and fact according the bureau of justice statistics between four hundred and five hundred innocent people are murdered by law enforcement officers every year we've all heard the names oscar grant and rodney king what about the thousands more that are subject to the same.
