and i welcome you watching r.t. this morning with me andrew farmer. guy fawkes night took on a worldwide flavor this year activists in more than four hundred cities turned out for the million mask march it was a global show of anger against online privacy breaches corporate greed and corrupt governments. first london and a bonfire lit outside the gates of buckingham palace with crowds wearing white masks or scuffles with police there were similar scenes near parliament to sarah firth was there. oh yeah we were trying to the first run the grades of the movie i'm ahmad the other called that really mean a lot of resistance from the protesters yes it's
12:02 am
a lot of other people know more live as well possibly even older not in the laws. but basically very very ugly right at the lovely cried my favorite lovely not be ruined he told me look i know exactly that that it would be a. book rather unexpectedly the million mom march here in london has paid. the fees that me from the houses of parliament where they were protesting and they won't write down all of them out here in london if you look behind him they're all walking down the mall with buckingham palace. oh. well the man must protest it here in london have ended up outside buckingham palace oh yes this isn't even making it across the day we seeing prices breakouts and i've
12:03 am
a twinkly protesters and some of the groups then saying often as he says coming over way down here of course this maybe has been taking place in cities around the world tonight but here in london protesters ending the evening outside buckingham palace serafin artsy london. well across the atlantic hundreds marched outside the white house many of them have links with the occupy wall street movement born two years ago has more now from our washington correspondent. here in washington you have different protest groups marching under the umbrella of be anonymous they protest different things to protest what they see is a police state they focused against the persecution of whistleblowers they protest against monsanto the world's biggest producer of genetically modified seeds so generally speaking they see themselves as a movement against the government and corporations taking advantage of the people.
12:04 am
who are. so we're standing next to the white house what do you want president obama to hear you want president obama to hear that five years after the financial crisis the banks being bailed out we're still suffering people are still struggling they're drowning in debt we live in a country that's fundamentally unfair we no longer have the rule of law from the n.s.a. to edward snowden to chelsea manning all over the world people are speaking out whistleblowers are speaking out regular people are speaking out and saying enough is enough we want justice we want to know when people ask if a decentralized mass movement like this can achieve anything other than just making noise well last year they were instrumental in informing people about this but legislation that will provide legal protection for the internet giants that spano private information their users truthout with agencies and now in light of edward snowden's revelations they demand a drastic overhaul of the n.s.a.
12:05 am
. the movement you know most every continent france italy and portugal were among the e.u. countries which saw the protests and elsewhere canada mexico brazil and demonstrations also drew crowds in japan a stray and new zealand the face of guy fawkes more popular than ever abby martin looks at the significance. very hard pressed to not find this mask at a recent protest but ironically every time the mask is purchased time warner gets a cut yes because of time turners move even for a company also trademark the mask but despite this disturbing contradiction the mask still serves a very noble purpose it's help to get activists immunity and identity to anonymity .
12:06 am
breaking the set a little later on as the previously campaign is stood their ground another edward snowden leak emerged it turns out that it's not just the u.s. that might have been prying into germany's classified affair as the british ambassador has been summoned by in over spying report he's clane the u.k.'s intelligence agency g c h q ran a top secret listening post in its embassy in the german capital and apparently together with america's n.s.a. it's been running a global network of so-called ness to harvest confidential data previously washington even bugs chancellor merkel's phone against from germany's pirate party things burley in is not an innocent victim the german government of course did notice what was happening on the roof top of the u.s. embassy and the u.k. embassy because it's clear for everybody who looks at that big what's going on there but i think that the german interior secret service they are not allowed to
12:07 am
investigate on the las and this is simply because germany right now is a subclass partner of the of the u.s. and they want to become a first class partner so our government is simply selling our privacy and their own privacy to climb up the ladder. well the u.s. senate has its own vision on resolving spy scandals once and for all by plugging the leaks with dollars lawmakers have approved the annual intelligence authorization act that includes funding operations to prevent revelations similar to those made by edward snowden the director of the n.s.a. will also have more powers to investigate employees with security clearances. coming up shortly a resurgent al qaeda is reportedly eyeing up libya's vulnerable uranium stores. it is actually could be used in
12:08 am
a radiological explosive device or just used to terrify people and a former british military chemical warfare commander explains to us the potential dangers should these nuclear ingredients fall into the wrong hands these stories coming up. the sochi twenty fourteen winter olympic torch relay is approaching the story checkpoint final preparations are being made to send it into space martin andrews is that the cosmodrome where the launch will take place. well the countdown begins and the way the olympic torch will certainly have a mission impossible tomorrow as we head off into space to the international space station the launch is scheduled for ten am here in baikonur kazakstan eight am in moscow four. in london and eleven pm in new york so make sure that you have your alarm ready to watch a moment in history it's also important to know that tomorrow it will be the second
12:09 am
time in history that the resources capsules will adopt with the international space station all the way four hundred kilometers in space and also they'll be a total of nine crew members will be extremely crowded but what a party they will have all are cut off and so you resigns he will take the specially modified torch out into the vacuum of space and tomorrow while there's going to be a part of the frenzy and swarm of press that's here there's also going to be a strong military presence and heightened security as well before and took off and twelve and four and a and twenty six craft as well as for search and recovery of ground vehicles of course it's important to note that the soyuz rocket itself even though the design is quite old it's certainly reliable and cost effective it's taken over one thousand seven hundred mission successful missions over the last few decades and now that the space shuttle has retired in the u.s.
12:10 am
while the soyuz rocket is really now the only means of transport for astronauts and cosmonauts to reach the international space station of course this latest venture for the pan russian torch relay is the latest here in baikonur various turns but also be heading to lake baikal the largest freshwater lake in the world will be going to the bottom of the lake and they will also be heading up to mt brust and heading to the top of the peak the tallest mountain in europe so lots to look forward to but of course we've got less than twenty four hours before the launch what's to look forward to it's very exciting for a moment while that's promised to be out of this world. and of course we are following the torch on its epic journey around russia and beyond and you can keep tabs on it. the alarm is sounding at the un over nine guarded uranium warehouse in the libyan

12:12 am
a health risk for very short periods but long exposure to it and certainly if yellowcake is ingested and you radium miners do suffer from a high degree of cancer from ingesting powders similar to yellow cake so certainly not a total surprise they're concerned about it and not happy to have it in their community unguarded. the rest of libya is still on a knife edge the capital erupted in battles between rival militia groups are to the eastern half of libya declared autonomy establishing a new government that authority says it now rules the east which produces almost sixty percent of libya's oil the powerful warlord backing the breakaway government has seventeen thousand troops under his command and shut down nearly half of the country's oil exports this summer and there is a weak central government in tripoli which is struggling to rein in the militia groups one defense analyst told us that he thinks the country's division was helped
12:13 am
