2:03 am
outs and i between police and protesters and some of the groups splintering often as he says coming over way down here of course this may be has been taking place in cities around the world tonight but here in london protesters ending the evening outside buckingham palace serafin oxy longer than across the atlantic protesters in the united states also use their charms to deliver a note to corporate greed and previously breaches crowds marched through downtown los angeles to show their solidarity with the movement and many of them have links to the occupy wall street front fourteen years ago on the east coast activists who also side the white house to protest has more now from washington correspondent. here in washington you have different protest groups marching under the umbrella of be anonymous they protest different things they protest what they see is a police state they focused against the persecution of whistleblowers they protest against all same told the world's biggest producer of genetically modified seeds so
2:04 am
generally speaking they see themselves as a movement against the government and corporations taking advantage of the people. 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 the 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 would provide legal protection to internet giants that funneled private information to their users two thousand meant agencies and now in light of
2:05 am
edward snowden's revelations they demand a drastic overhaul of the n.s.a. . well the movement rolled out in almost every continent france portugal were among the e.u. countries which saw the protests now where it was canada mexico and brazil demonstrations also drew crowds in japan a strange and you zealand where the face of. the never martin the sat is significance. three hard pressed to not find this mascot a recent protest but ironically every time the mask is purchased time warner gets a cut just because of time foreigners move even for and out. the company also trademarked 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 .
2:06 am
now as the privacy campaigners stood their ground another edward snowden leak it turns out that it's not just the u.s. that might have been prying into germany's classified if a british ambassador has been summoned by berlin over a new spying report it is claimed 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 nests to harvest confidential data previously showed washington even bugged chancellor merkel's phone but jens from germany's pirate party thinks burley 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.
2:07 am
embassy because it's clear for everybody who looks at that building what's going on there but i think that the german interior secret service they're not allowed to investigate on the las this is simply because germany right now is such a class 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. the u.s. senate has its own vision on resolving spy scandals once and for all by plugging 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 maybe is vulnerable uranium store. it

inmates at the notorious one time obey prison know what it's like to enjoy intense interrogation an arty crew has been given a rare chance to report from within the camera head online to see what we discovered as officials showed off the equipment for the widely criticised force feeding procedure insisting it's not really that. also israel's olive branch to kick start flagging peace talks it's offering to make the barrier which surrounds the west bank the border of any future palestinian state. on the alarm is sounding at the un over an unguarded uranium where in the libyan desert controlled by a regional weapons dealer was worse it's reportedly drawing the interest of al qaida a former british military chemical defense command has told r.t. what might happen if terrorists get hold of this material. it is not highly radioactive itself however we did see
2:20 am
a uranium ore in india some six months ago and if al qaida did get hold of this yellowcake. it is potentially could be used in easy a radiological explosive device or just used to terrify people it's not very toxic but it is radioactive and that would create a tremendous amount of terror if al qaeda got it everybody is is is terrified of radiation and we hear the horror stories for a place like for. where accidents to occur and yellowcake is radioactive it appears to be held in you know an unsecured store and although it wouldn't present a a health risk for very short periods but long exposure to it and certainly if yellowcake is ingested in your radium miners do you suffer from a high degree of cancer from ingesting powders similar to yellow cake so certainly you are not at all surprised they're concerned about it and not happy to have it in

their community unguarded meanwhile the rest of libya is still on a knife edge the capital erupted in battles between rival militia groups after 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 he shut down nearly half of the country's oil exports this summer and there's 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 with help from abroad. the central government in tripoli has no control over the country at large and the militias have sidelined tribal leaders and taken over power and this this was the intent and consequence from the beginning the nato or intention

cross-talk in a few minutes time being a builder in britain bent good well paid work and plenty of it when the crisis struck it construction hard today though firms are doing more business than at any time in the last six years yet attracting the skilled workers back on site is proving to be tough looks where the industry is pointing the blame. it's supposed to be a bellwether for the economy as a whole but britain's construction industry has been crippled by the financial crisis literally this central london site was supposed to house a skyscraper called the politico but those cranes over there have been lying idle for almost two years after financing for the office tower dried up now instead of the pinnacle those in the business preferred to call it this instead while commercial buildings lack private funding the government budget cuts have hit

public projects hard one hundred fifty thousand skilled construction workers in the u.k. are out of work and on the dole their welfare payments are costing the government over two billion pounds a year if this government invested when that kind of power and it continued with the various plans such as building schools for the few. hospitals we would have actually been planned building works to produce the kind of really a value for our say. experts advise the government that if they invest just five percent of those two billion pounds on funding public building projects such as affordable housing they'll create thousands of jobs there's been a big fall in government investment and projected for continuing the next few years there are things that government can do to get this industry moving again and i think what we're saying is that government is to get on and do that and not allow the stagnation to carry on for the next five years while sites are abandoned the
2:25 am
workforce has been losing skills to paper over the cracks others have been stepping in there are a lot of modern workers working on construction sites british were close seem to be the more elderly workers on so i think that is probably caused by the lack of apprenticeships and the lack of trying in this type of blogs you know industry economic recovery tends to start with the construction sector beginning to move and the good news is that after years of stagnation in the u.k. the only way from here is that. for the boys there are the ones that. are more global headlines for you now in china a series of suspected bombings have hit the regional communist party headquarters killing one person and injuring eight explosions rocked the capital of changi province four hundred kilometers south of beijing is not known who is behind the
