6:02 am
a lot of resistance from the protesters this sort of other people know more of us but mostly leave the old another three laws. basically very very ugly right at the think right i fear the right let me know please rule and we will move in the day after 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 hall with buckingham palace. thank. you well the man must protest here in london have ended up outside buckingham palace with. the other them even
6:03 am
making it across the day we seeing prices breakouts and i between police and protesters and some of the groups been saying often as he says coming over way down here of course this may 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 well across the atlantic protesters in the united states also use their chance to deliver a firm no to corporate greed and privacy breaches crown's marched through downtown los angeles to show their solidarity with the movement manny of them have links with the occupy wall street front born two years ago on the east coast after social converged outside the white house to protest and here's more from our washington correspondent very challenging. here in washington you have different protest groups marching under the umbrella of be anonymous they protest different things
6:04 am
they protest what they see is a police state they focus against the persecution of whistleblowers they protest against the same told 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 and people ask if the 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 would
6:05 am
invite legal protection through internet giants that spano private information that their users two thousand agencies and now in light of edward snowden's revelations they demand a drastic overhaul of the n.s.a. now the movement rolled out in almost every continent france italy and portugal were among the e.u. countries which saw the protests elsewhere canada mexico and brazil demonstrations also drew crowds in japan australia and new zealand where the face of guy fawkes more popular than ever abby martin looks at its significance. i mean hard pressed to not find this mask at a recent protest but ironically every time the mask is purchased time warner gets a cut just because of time turners move even from the 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
6:06 am
anonymity. now as a privacy campaigners to their ground another ad word snowden meeka merged it turns out that it's not just the u.s. that might have been prying into germany's classified affairs or smith in london with the details that we know of course that it wasn't just the us who was eavesdropping on the germans revealed that britain probably was to this information comes from the edward snowden leaks from n.s.a. documents from aerial photographs and of course from past form and it suggests that the u.k. has its own nest of intercepting equipment on the roof of its own embassy so high tech listening equipment on the roof of the embassy which of course is in the heart of not very far from the parliament not at all far from calls.
6:07 am
really in the heart intercepting communications potentially in the heart of german government. and this equipment intercept mobile phone calls and it's well known that angela merkel conducts a lot of government business through mobile phone calls and also through text messages can also incept wife flight data and long distance communications right across the german capital so it's incredibly intrusive potentially the germans of course are often arms about it one m.e.p. has said the operation is clearly targeting politician. i'm questioning whether they really are and in britain if you like and he says it's hardly in the spirit of european cooperation that everyone is going on about all the time and of course it's incredibly awkward for the precise red faces all around and the british ambassador has been summoned to see the german foreign minister to try to explain himself we already knew about about the u.s.
6:08 am
listening equipment and it's basically the same deal equipment on the roof of the embassy which if you see pictures of it it's pretty obvious that it's that it's a sort of white box but apparently it's not visible from the street and german and u.s. diplomatic relations have really hit an extraordinary story relations and really has an extraordinary since this since this was revealed and we can expect the same for the u.k. if the ambassador isn't able to provide not to the nation and the first test of relations particularly between the u.s. and germany is coming up next week the space speech trade negotiations between the u.s. and the european union understandably now in jeopardy john stauber from germany's pirate party doesn't think his country isn't entirely 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
6:09 am
there but i think that the german interior secret service they are not allowed to investigate. and this is simply because germany right now is sort of the 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 spies scandals once and for all by plugging lease with dollars lawmakers have approved the annual intelligence authorization act that includes funding operations to prevent revelations similar to those made by adding snowden the director of the n.s.a. will also have more powers to investigate employees with security clearances. well coming shortly here in our team a resurgent al qaida is reportedly i believe is vulnerable uranium stores. could be used to raise local explosive devices or just to terrify people

soyuz 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 ics in the international space station tied them together in some small way and we're happy to be a small part of it. 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 the scheduled to come back here down to earth on the eleventh of november lots of press here from all around the world a frenzy of excitement here in baikonur of course there's lots of military the heightened security is in full places going to be almost children military here of

notorious one time a bay prison know what it's like to endure intense interrogation and our team group has been given a rare chance to report from within the camp somehow online to see what we've discovered as officials showed off the quit meant for the widely criticized force feeding procedure insisting it's not really that bad. 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. the alarm sounding at the u.n. over an unguarded uranium warehouse in the libyan desert controlled by a regional weapons dealer. what's worse it's reportedly drawing the interest of al qaida 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 in india some six months ago and it did get hold of this yellowcake.
6:22 am
it is potentially could be used in an 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 qaida got it everybody is is is terrified of radiation and we hear the horror stories for a place like. where accidents to occur and to yellowcake is radioactive it appears to be held in you know an unsecured stool. 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 my nose do you suffer from a high degree of cancer from ingesting powders similar to yellow cake so certainly not a total surprise that concerned about it. not happy to have it in the community on

6:26 am
a projected for continuing to next be is there are 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 others have been stepping in there are a lot of modern workers working on construction. as saying to baby the elderly because on saw i think that is probably caused by the lack of apprenticeships and the lack of trying that's tied to blogs you know destroy the economic recovery tends to start with the construction sector beginning to move and the good news is that off to years of stagnation in the u.k. the only way from here is. where the boys are the ones that. are now more news from around the world scuffles in mexico city between police and farmers fighting for
