12:05 pm
about the online stuff for me has been to get more people what i like to call activated get more people out there just doing something you know i don't even care what you believe i want you on the streets telling people about it in getting things done so i think this type of event is going to just help to get more people active in the system and i have a feeling that more people active in the system can only be better for the people when if you want to keep abreast of this and what's happening throughout the course of the day you can this protests have taken off in spain and in sweden demonstrations have also been spotted in chin is here in turkey as well as israel to europe the u.k. and the netherlands will be taking part in the global action you complete all them out there it's lighting up as it's happening and there's also action in italy and bosnia protests taking place to let me carry a listing of media madagascar in cities across south africa and australia as well as south east asia wherever you are on the map watching r.t. international you can plot the latest action close to you r.t. dot com we've got live updates and latest images from those rallies. today with

a look four hundred cities around the world are hosting mass rallies for fairness justice and free. follow million mask march on our g. and r t. dot com the big story that's getting momentum today the u.k. is operating a secret listening station within a stone's throw of the german parliament that's what the british newspaper the independent revealed. citing leaked documents mobile snowden the equipment housed on the u.k. embassy route could be intercepting phone calls and long distance communications across berlin is the worried peter all of us more on the latest spy exposure. it's a case of another day another case of allies spying on each other this time it's the turn of the british it seems these allegations in documents leaked by edward snowden suggest that on the roof of the british embassy here in berlin there was
12:07 pm
a on the roof listening post now if that's the case it comes just a week after the united states supposedly removed a listening post of their own on the roof of their embassy which is just next door to the british embassy here in the german capital now there is the argument that this is what they do however there is certainly going to be repercussions from this if it turns out that it is true that the british had this. this this what it would be called an intercept nest on the roof of their embassy it's certainly going to be toxic for relations between germany and britain to close allies within europe it also comes at a time where german cry and get some kind of agreement on not spying on each other so all of this information coming out it seems in a relentless fashion showing that all of these people who held hands as friends
12:08 pm
around the world wall secretly listening in to what each other were doing now it's been said the e.u. have asked david cameron's british government for for answers on this the british government have said well it's a matter of security and they don't comment on matters of security it all seems like a very easy and city give but there's certain to be repercussions from this and it does seem that just because you're a little paranoid doesn't mean that everybody isn't spying on. that story throughout the coming hours no days as well but now though to our top story this is the anonymous global day of action very pleased to say now we got some live comment from evil a ground over from the people's assembly organizing committee that's a group taking part of a protest in london. so you see it's not so it's a little bit more about what you are striving for here with this global protest. hello good evening thank you for inviting me to your program and the people's
12:09 pm
assembly is a broad coalition of movement unions organization activists and campaigns groups and it's brought together. to basically reach out to all members of society and send a very loud and clear message to tear it is not a policy that is working for the majority of the people in this country and we are going to oppose it because if you say that to the conservative party the coalition of immokalee britain also they're doing a fantastic job because. all the up there but anyway the argument has been all along isn't it we were covering this at length last year with the last norma's protests the argument is disparate group of people yes you all want good things but you're so caught up on focused you can't bring the rest of the world along with you because it's kind of on clear what your main problem is so fair point isn't it.
12:10 pm
well depends which way you look at it i mean obviously the government's making the point that the economy is recovering and it's growing but you have to look deeper into this if you look in the u.k. research recent research research shows that four out of the five jobs created are in the. low wage stick to. one has to look at where this recovery is going and who is working for. the people's assembly actually has taken on board a lot of the criticism that have been levied on previous movements and since it launched in under twenty second the this year. it's basically had a very loud and very clear message which is no cuts. and every person. to every policy in this area a final thought well you've got you with us we started off our chopper so you want to gauge the broader public the problem is a lot of what not of us does talking to major websites except through such it is
12:11 pm
illegal and so therefore is not a good platform to get your broader general public involved we all know we don't have you know be part of this surely you're going around it the wrong way or you. know i wouldn't say so i mean anonymous is an independent group and they have their way of. dealing and fighting with the current system and one can agree or disagree with them and decide to join. the people's assembly is a separate entity and we've engaged in a range of actions involving boy call and and occupations as well as peaceful protests march is create if actions so there's a whole range of. actions that can be taken and it's up to people to decide what they feel comfortable with but the moment main point is that more and more people are feeling the need to express their disagreement with what is going
12:12 pm
on. and this is what is happening today with had a whole day of actions across the whole of the country ranging from singing to student occupation. goldsman appearing on the streets with nouri. and tonight we have called for an occupation of westminster bridge in the center of london and what a better place to send a message out that this policy is not working for the majority of people and we need to stand up for it even. to our london bureau there was showing our viewers to not as well and all to dot com a web site exactly where these protests are taking place in many many places around the world but give it time. no money troubles and job losses are pushing europeans to the far right war get discontent that's what the latest opinion polls show months ahead of e.u. parliamentary elections mainstream politicians now analysts though are saying it's too early to predict just how many seats the euro skeptic and nationalist parties

. there to increasingly popular figureheads riding a wave of nationalist movements across europe not quite in the mainstream but no longer on the fringes either germany france the netherlands belgium austria greece italy and the u.k. all seeing the success of political parties which in varying degrees are anti e.u. in its current form anti euro and anti immigration. day europe doesn't have economic growth nor does it really have the right and the left ignored the managed to resolve the problem is under foreign feeds off. a new pool of voting intentions show that nearly a quarter of french voters would vote for france's national front in the may twenty four thousand european parliament elections that's ahead of the country's two leading parties and this winter the right could very well sweep across europe as well in the pens national front and the dutch and islam politician builders party for food of planned their move that's despite reports that builders in the past

disapproved of anderson medic remarks by lipans father while a pen reportedly described the dutch as more radical than she was when it came to islam it was of this restaurant the two of the most confrontational politicians in europe had sat down over a meal and got to know each other and then the year they realized that they had more in common that they might have initially thought so much so that full political parties that claimed patriotism they decided to put their differences aside and pursue an ambitious goal changing the europe's grand plan. the europeans and the french have understood that the political structure the defense people of the best student is the nature of this is that today the decisions are made in brussels and burley in washington reprise they're not made in france and this cannot go on while a potential alliance between far right parties is already stoking fear into some in the e.u. italian premier enrico letta called the growing popularity of euro skeptics and the
12:16 pm
far right as the most dangerous phenomenon facing the european union that could lead to the most anti european parliament in history in the end it's a numbers game as far as that's concerned the rise of the right is not quite just a blip on europe's radar. r.t.e. paris or the president of european commission manuel barroso called on the pro european forces to take the lead not give the initiative to explain this movement analysts believe populist appeal though on public discontent with the rising tide of immigration is feeding the ranks of the far right. paul of these parties are anti immigrant there and they do express. the strongest sort of anti immigrant views in europe and so that's one of these places might have a certain influence they have had like in denmark for instance and so resistance against the immigration is one thing the other is a sort of anti-gay sentiment among voters in europe so people who wish to express
12:17 pm
a protester an anti elitist sentiment tend to support these parties they could have a major influence certainly in terms of immigration policy and in terms of the way that europe is viewed around the world. meanwhile on the other side of the atlantic some rural communities are pushing for the creation of a new state. as american voters head to the polls on election day hundreds of thousands of citizens in colorado are voting on a ballot initiative to establish the fifty first us states details straight ahead a covering that also covering two why the east of libya has decided to go it alone analysis on that in a few minutes after the break. the

12:20 pm
already beyond some goodness that been put on something that then did love it oh i think the simplest thing is that if that picture of the united states should or not his words are speak the same language everywhere and make the same stun well the leading western backed opposition group has refused me time to attend peace talks in geneva unless president assad steps down but both russia and the us agree the conference should be held without any preconditions and again this is serious in full support of that approach at least. this interim government has announced money at times that it is that i did to offender nevel without precondition the problem is with the others host big money different languages different places and who keep putting conditions we've just learned that russians and the americans have agree that your neighbor to should be convened without any preconditions for marna side so that's fine with us. just mind if you can check out our exclusive interview with

12:22 pm
the ground is that there are more than one libya today and we have to see if this means that they find an agreement to maintain the composition of the various entities within a common libya or if that very way altogether for forces that are intervening from outside of libya so i wouldn't be surprised if the area i would start looking east of the southeast there are about two hundred forty tribes in libya and tribes are very important for the running of the territory so it's not just a sort of. reminded of like we can imagine from the western in the tribes there they count they control people in the territory it depends how much they bargain among themselves but it may also end up that they fight each other i mean this is very difficult to predict it depends also by which support from outside this new independent unit would. acquire and this part of speak to be put in the

12:24 pm
a country which is this rural versus urban divide eleven colorado counties approximately four hundred thousand citizens are voting on a ballot initiative that would pave the way for creating the fifty first us state the urban areas can assert their well against the rural communities and it is like taxation without representation and that the rural communities don't have a voice to block the things that are being forced upon them earlier this year colorado's democratically controlled legislature exerted its power by passing laws fiercely unpopular in the northeastern parts of the state among them. historic gun control laws and mandating only rural areas to produce twenty percent of their energy from renewable sources a move officials say will crush farmers and ranchers while also raising the cost of electricity urban legislators imposed one standard on rural colorado and
12:25 pm
exempted themselves out of that same standard for their urban constituents one might call that tyranny in my thirteen years plus of being a county commissioner i have never seen folks this frustrated this discontent this feeling of this disenfranchised in addition to sending a message to lawmakers here in denver supporters of the fifty first state say their ballot initiative also serves as inspiration for the many other u.s. cities and states with their own secession movements i get fold calls on a regular basis. at least once a week from citizens in other states and saying hey what are you guys doing out there how you doing this from vermont and north carolina to texas and california the u.s. has seen a rapid spy. movements blazing across the nation in the past decade as the united states has grown extremely divided i hope that there's a recognition that
