on. the fifth of november which many will remember scuffles in london between police and mass protest is the anonymous movement draws anticorruption rallies worldwide. georgia signs up its military to more years in afghanistan to boost its chances of nato membership we speak to both supporters and troops families who say their loved ones have already paid in blood. and reaching for the stars these thought she winter olympic torch prepares for liftoff and its first ever spaceport. i welcome you watching r.t.

with me andrey farmer now guy fawkes night took on a global field this year activists in more than four hundred cities turned out for the million mask march it was a show of anger over online privacy breaches corporate greed and corrupt governments. well first london and a bonfire lit outside the gates of buckingham palace with crowds wearing white masks involved in scuffles with police there were similar scenes near parliament to sarah firth was there. oh right. that's why the first the protests over the moon really among them are to let a car go through that read a lot of resistance from the protesters yes it was out there you will know more live as well possibly even more than the other three laws for

a show but they've moved very very ugly right at the lovely bride i gave the bride that's really not the ruin the whole movement but you know the fact is that it would be. rather unexpectedly the million mom march here in london has paid. the fees they had 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. oh. well then ma'am are protesting here in london have ended up outside buckingham palace oh yeah the even making it across the day we seeing prices breakouts and i've a tween police and protesters and some of the groups then saying often as he said

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 sara first r.c. . well across the atlantic protesters in the united states also used their chance to deliver a firm no to corporate greed and previously breaches pride's marched through downtown los angeles to show their solidarity with the movement many of them have links with the occupy wall street front born two years ago and on the east coast and also converged outside the white house to protest is 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 they 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. 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 the system legislation that will provide legal protection to internet giants that spawn old private information to their users truthout with agencies and now in light of

edward snowden's revelations they demand a drastic overhaul of the n.s.a. . in fact the movement rolled out in almost every continent france italy and portugal were among the e.u. countries which sure the protests nelse where there was canada mexico and brazil demonstrations also drew crowds in japan australia and new zealand but with the face of guy fawkes more popular than ever abby martin looks it is significance later this hour. 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 helped to give activists immunity and identity to anonymity.

well as the privacy campaigners 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 affairs the british ambassador has been summoned by berlin over spying report it is claimed that the u.k. is intelligence agency g c h q ran a top secret listening post in its embassy in the german capital this is the second spying blow that received from its closest allies first being washington bugging chancellor merkel's phone britain's data harvesting lined in the report has angered several officials who called it an acceptable and unlawful but jens stoltenberg from germany's pirate party doesn't think his country's an innocent victim. the german government of course didn't 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 investigate on the las that this is simply because germany right now is such a class part 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 pulling leaks plug leaks story 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

a vulnerable uranium stores. it is potentially could be used in a radiological explosive device or just used to terrify people a former british military chemical warfare commander explains to us the potential dangers should these new clearing gradients fall into the wrong hands that's coming . now he thought she twenty fourteen winter olympic torch relay is approaching an historic checkpoint final preparations are being made to send it into space martin andrews is at the cosmodrome where the launch will take place. up up and away yes the countdown begins it's now less than twenty four hours until the olympic torch makes this moment in history this fascinating journey up to the international space station it will be approximately eight more in moscow where we also see. in london eleven pm new york of course this is

a moment in history of course not only the fact that it's the second time. the spacecraft have docked with the i assess and will be a total of nine crew members on board so i'll be quite a party up there my opinion i think the space station is one of the greatest accomplishments of mankind in modern times because of the international cooperation of all the countries involved so it's great that we can tie these two great events in and the a limp dicks in the international space station tied them together in some small way and we're happy to be a small part of it but. the olympic flame is one of the most ancient symbols of peace and it's a great responsibility and a great pleasure to be working with this symbol. taking the specially modified torch because of course you can't have a naked flame in the vacuum of space out of the s.s. on the night of november and scheduled to come back here down to earth on the

eleventh of november lots of press here from all around the world the friends of excitement here in the baikonur of course there's lots of military the heightened security is in full places going to be almost children military here of course this is now part of the exciting pan russian war for the olympic torch it's already been to the north pole where it was on nuclear powered ice breaking ship it will make its way to lake baikal the largest freshwater lake in the world go to the very very bottom of that lake and also make its way to the tallest mountain in europe to the peak of elbrus before its final journey to the olympic opening ceremony on the seventh of february next year insult you on the black sea so a lot so look forward to but of course at the moment for the next twenty four hours all the eyes on the olympic flame and the torch is journey to morrow to the i assess what to look forward to in a moment that's promised to be literally out of this world. and of course we are

following the top on its epic journey around russia and beyond every inch of the way and you can keep tabs on it yourself r.t. . the netherlands is taking russia to court for detaining greenpeace activists in the arctic sea september the thirty sorry in september thirty environmentalist were arrested after trying to scale a russian oil rig and the dutch are demanding their release. as this report. russia's not going to take part in the proceedings the russian authorities from the get go were saying that they actually have a lot more issues with the dutch government than the dutch government could possibly have for moscow russian authorities are saying that they have been closely monitoring the activities of the arctic sunrise for quite some time in the have been worried about them and how very repeatedly asked for those authorities to do something about the vessel and. those who are on board the arctic sunrise the

netherlands remained kind of mom on the whole matter now what to the netherlands are hoping to take off this tribunal is the provisional release of the thirty people who are on board the vessel from jail in which they have been since the middle of september they're hoping to get a ruling from the international tribunal sometime in the next couple of weeks at the same time there is talk from the greenpeace press secretary in russia of the activists possibly being transferred to a different jail from mormons which is in the north of petersburg however there is no official confirmation in that regard norris's has said that they would drop the charges of piracy and replace them with charges the pollution is a very recently however that has not been done yet. not as a bit of pill for some doctors in the united states a report reveals that some help talk to prisoners instead of giving them treatment

the details on that still ahead t.v. salah and britain's construction industries building at its fastest right since the credit crisis hit the problem is the skilled workers have gone we'll look at why. the media leave us so we need a. lot of the same motions to. play your part of the physical. issues that no one is asking with the guests that you deserve answers from. politic only of our. wealthy british.

guys on. the. market. find out what's really happening to the global economy for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines. cancer reports. welcome back with after a decade of war in afghanistan georges declared that it's game for more nato operations that even after next year's troop pull act to b.c. wants to prove itself to the lines which it desperately wants to join and the reports ladies are accused of being willing to pay in blood to do so. this georgian woman suffered a tragic loss the hardest thing for any mother her son is

a rob was sent to get his son and came back in a coffin. his body was frozen the coffin was full of ice and we're hoping that i saw many scars and he said. i remember woman in military uniform had come to my place she told me that my son had died in an explosion at the barracks and that he is a hero. rob had planned to get married in september and he signed up for military service to get a salary of seven hundred dollars a month so he could start a new life. what all these medals these owners if he's no longer live what should i do now. georgia under president mikhail saakashvili made joining nato a national priority. as a nonmember the country has been better than collison operations in afghanistan since two thousand and four georgia has sent around eleven thousand troops there

making it the largest known elias contributor. around thirty georgian soldiers have died in afghanistan. and the new leadership seems likely to stick to that course they use old keys to raise their ratings on the world arena really has a more prime has to become should be there has a more why don't they send them to ghana still why should we pay. our head georgian military expert says the country needs to join nato to protect itself from russia. in two thousand and eight beliefs he launched a large scale assault on his rake away province of south of setia in violation of a truce to regain control over it dozens of russians living there were killed the russian military intervened fending off the georgian forces and a five day conflict. is now. cheez have already pledged to bring safa settle back into the fold. if we become

a nato member in chapter four it will protect us and we'll be able to rely on nato as help in the event of any military conflict and we send children to afghanistan to show our bridges to cooperate this is the price we pay yes mikko also has kids two daughters by asking whether he'd send his son to have denniston if he had one it's a very difficult question but i'd be honored for him to become a hero they spoke of two hundred pages as cold heroes twenty nine stories of young georgian men who died in a military mission in afghanistan fortunately these tragedies have not been repeated since the book was published several months ago but as the country expands its contribution to international mission it's easy to imagine more similar chapters unfolding. r.t. from georgia doctors are supposed to hail not harm but some u.s.

medics are being accused in an independent study of being complicit in the top of suspected terrorists it is claimed they helped design inhumane and cruel procedures when they should have stood up to the cia's orders associate professor of medicine alan keller from new york university believes that doctors were often the driving force behind implementing abusive treatment. it was clear policy and practice of the department of defense and of the cia that following the tragic events of september eleventh that torture was institutionalized and that health professionals not only protists it paid it passively but frankly led this led this in terms of developing the abusive torture methods that were used in kata following their use and in her pet you waiting a lot i that these methods are safe and effective it's interrogation techniques

there is no question that they were torture they were dangerous they were abusive they're not effective at all listening accurate information and they are wrong inmates at the notorious guantanamo bay prison know what it's like to enjoy intense interrogation and r.t. crew has been given a rare chance to report from within the camp had online to see what we discovered is official showed off the equipment for the widely criticized force feeding procedure insisting it's not really that bad. also israel's all of branch to kick start flagging peace talks is offering to make the barrier which surrounds the west bank the border of any future palestinian state. the army sounding at the un over an unguarded uranium warehouse in the libyan desert controlled by regional weapons what's worse it's reportedly drawing the

interest of. a former british military chemical defense commander has told r.t. what might happen if terrorists get hold of this material. it is not highly radioactive itself however we did see a uranium ore i.e.d. in india some six months ago and if i did get hold of this yellowcake. it is potentially could be used in the rage logical 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 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 and you radium miners to 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 and i think 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 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 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 doing turned and consequence from the beginning the nato intervention was never to do niger libya remember let's look at the dark split from sudan because of the oil rich region and they're doing exactly the same here the big guards the area or the big part of libya is always the rich so they're going to split it so that they can control the oil directly there. now being a builder in britain meant good well paid work camp plenty of it when the crisis struck it hit 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 at 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 surprised to house a skyscraper called the panic oh but those cranes over there have been lying idle for almost two years off the financing for the office tower dried up now instead of the pinnacle those in the business professor call it the stump instead while commercial buildings lack private funding government budget cuts have hit public projects hard hundred fifty thousand skilled construction workers in the u.k. are out of was and on the dole that 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 various plans such as building schools for the few. being new hospitals we would have actually been prime building workers to produce the country on the other side

crawlers it's. experts have advised the government that if they invest just five percent of those two billion pounds on funding public building projects such as affordable housing will create thousands of jobs there's been a big pool of government investment and a projected for continuing to next be is there all things that government can do to get this industry believe me 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 workforce has been losing skills to paper over the cracks all those have been stepping in there are a lot of modern workers working on construction saw the british were close saying to baby the more elderly workers on saw i think that is probably caused by the lack of apprenticeships and the lack of trying in this type of blogs in our industry economic recovery tents. 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. for the boys i think this is. a quick look now at some other news from around the world in china a series of bombs have exploded outside a regional communist party headquarters killing one person and injuring eight ball bearings placed in the devices ripped through a crowd of government employees who were heading to work it's not known who's behind the blasts just over a week ago two tourists died and dozens more were injured in a terrorist attack when a car rammed into a crowd on channon square. scuffles in mexico city between police and farmers fighting for a fair price for their produce one protester was tackled to the floor and kicked after running from offices only some farm products are subsidized by the government leaving others to claim they are at an economic disadvantage. elsewhere india has

launched its first spacecraft bound for mars the rocket will orbit earth over the next twenty five days to gather enough speed to continue its journey if the mission is successful india will become only the fourth space program to make it to the red planet after the soviet union the u.s. and europe. while. americans are back at their polling stations next abby martin looks at whether there's really much choice on the menu. wealthy british style. markets why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy in the cause a report on our. cuts you

want to. pick up something that is quite simply. was no way over. clearly they were just at the wrong place at the wrong time. and sold to the u.s. or turned over to the u.s. for. the soul that could be buried alive. was saved with great effort. and they want to turn me into a terrorist so it is they wanted me to admit that i was a member of al qaeda or taliban but i fought with them. not about time i didn't even know what al qaeda is nevertheless there are people all. brave enough to start a fight. something is going to be done that's going to be done by me in the span of

a short amount of time to do it but it's going to impact me i'd be prosecuted but it's not going to impact. the wife or my daughter. the one time a trap. monarchy. margy dot com is launching a special project to mark the appalling scale of violence in iraq. we want you to know. what shaken people i'm abby martin and this is breaking the set well it's november

fifth which means someone somewhere is voting today somewhere their governor races are taking place in virginia and new jersey and there are some interesting ballot measures like washington state attempts that require labeling new jersey voting to raise their minimum wage and there's a marijuana legalization measure on the ballot in portland maine these are all great initiatives don't get me wrong but what the measure that openly lets you vote for your favorite corporation or super pac because let's be honest that's what we're really choosing at the voting booths is take a look at this map from mother jones that explains which industry is carrying the most weight in this election now whether it be health care gambling or energy companies are making sure that they're getting their elected official of choice so today's election like every other election serves as just a reminder of the looming corporatocracy and lack of true choice in american democracy.
