this is actually coming to life for moscow with me marina josh. fox now it's took on a global feel this year activists in more than four hundred cities around the world turned out for the million mask march to show their anger at corrupt politicians corporate rule and states are valence in london the night was marred by bonfires scuffles and arrests crowd started a fire near buckingham palace and block parliament square artist sarah first was there. oh right we were trying to first run the prototype of the little. to let a car go through every day a lot of resistance from the protesters the sort of others out there you will know more of us well mostly even more than that is the last. face with very very ugly

roads at the lovely cried my favorite nightly not be ruined he told me. that it would be a. book 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 wall with your palette. thanks thanks. well the man must protest this here in london have ended up outside buckingham palace oh i. love them even making it across the day we sing classes breakouts and i between police and protesters and some of the group's been 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 oxy longer than. well across the atlantic protesters in the united states also took their chance to deliver a firm no to corporate greed and privacy breaches ground marched through downtown sandals to show their solidarity with a movement many of them aligned to the occupy wall street front on the east coast activists also gathered outside the white house to protest our washington correspondent going and she can report. here in washington you have to. 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 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 cisco legislation that would invite legal protection for the internet giants that spawn all private information that their users two thousand agents use and now in light of edward snowden's revelations they demand a drastic overhaul of the n.s.a.

the movement rolled out in almost every continent in europe france italy and portugal saw crowds gathering in the streets wearing masks elsewhere in canada mexico and brazil demonstrations also drew crowds in japan australia and new zealand the guy fawkes mask has become a symbol of protest movement and one of the top selling items online. 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 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 unity and identity to anonymity .

the spying scandal between germany and britain is gathering force berlin has warned london that using its embassy as a surveillance post is illegal under international law the allegations of u.k. snooping come on the heels of another revelation america's unprecedented spying on the german chancellor artie's laura smith has the details. now we know of course that it wasn't just the us who was eavesdropping on the germans it's really been 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 which of course is in the heart of berlin not very far from the german parliament not at all far from calls. you see pictures of it it's pretty obvious that it's there it's a sort of white box. 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 by data and long distance communications right across the german capital so it's incredibly intrusive person credibly awkward for the british red faces all around the british ambassador has been summoned to the german foreign minister to try to explain himself in german and u.s. diplomatic relations 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 of a sense the nation and the first test of those relations particularly between the u.s. and germany is coming up next week this basically trade negotiations between the u.s. and the european union understandably those in now in jeopardy while not everyone in germany is convinced that their government was unaware of its allies spying and takes and we talked to one of those skeptics. from the pirate party. the german

government of cause 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're not a knowledge to investigate on the l a's and this is simply because germany right now is a subclass patna of the b. of the u.s. and they want to become assessed as partners to our government is simply selling our privacy and their own privacy to climb up the ladder while still have this hour here in our best a geisha in shad's light on a military court here in the u.s. and japan a report shows that while the defense department and a few i am master of mind the abusive treatment doctors and medical staff are more hands on. and in china a series of blasts targeting a local communist party headquarters he's one person dead coming out we have expert

analysis on what might be behind the attack. in time for the sochi twenty fourteen winter olympic torch relay is approaching at historic checkpoint final preparations are being made to send it into orbit martin andrews is at the cosmic draw 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 am tomorrow in moscow and the longer we also see. in london eleven pm in 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 they'll be a total of my 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 tie 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. they'll be 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 ninth 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 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 it will 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 his journey to morrow to the i assess a lot to look forward to in a moment that's promised to be literally out of this world. and on line we're following every step of the olympic flame journey around russia and beyond and you can keep an eye on the record breaking torch relay and.

now in northern china a series of explosions outside original communist party offices left one person dead and eight others injured ball bearings placed in a small homemade bombs hit several government employees who were on their way to work in the city of taiwan to discuss this i'm now joined by francis lui chief economist at the hong kong based oriental financial group thanks so much mr lim for joining us here in r.t. to talk about the situation in china at the moment well as we see clearly the officials were targeted in this incident but who do you think may be behind this attack well this. is from their leader minority from seeing jan most probably from the local population somebody though who were the victims few did so just some wrongs by the commies. the government officials because china is now for a full repair is state come to this party reduce absolute power if you have some

injustice from the government you have no way the threat so they take take their frustration out by bombing the government. apology for this and tried to kill or maim coming these are free shows so i think this is what . this is what happened well as you can see the tensions are running high in the country at this moment given a last week attack were a truck rammed in the crowd of people in time and square which authorities with an extremism attack but didn't see any connection between that attack last week and this time. no i don't think so because sound see is. a minority pov in. most of the time c.f. from behind majority so it is unlikely that is. isn't that

a terrorist attack on them are no right to. who have proven but i think it's from the local people because. in china there is no rule of law if some official. just this there is no way that you can. redress so so so injustice purses and because there's no democracy and you can. kick out of fishers of the shows now you're applying it to asian is terrorists. in your opinion those who are behind those attacks i mean the one last week and the one this week what are they hoping to gain what sort of attention they're trying to get to what issues they're trying to get the intention of the community under to chinese authorities and well or well

well what they really tried to show is we did the injustice of the existing political system where is where there is no rule of law if you if the government official perform some justice to the people there is no way you can expose it and then you can appeal it is no way for the people to be heard i think that is the problem it's a political problem of the political system and i think it's up to the chinese government to respond. well you see we have a new leader in china now she jinping and how much of a reformer is he. i don't think he's i mean well my at all. this is he assumed power at the beginning of the year and everything he did tried to do has been tried to consolidate the power of the absolute power of the

communist pod view and a meaningful reform that politically economically so maybe. if he has his way we would see it come it is absolutely rupert ended three of these years. all right mr lynn thank you so much for joining us here on r.t. friends living tell you we have known from hong kong on the situation in china and what you actually live from moscow war news is just a had to go away. so we leave the. ocean. is it.

u.s. medics working for the military have been accused of using torture to gather intelligence from terrorist suspect a new independent report suggests the department of the fans and the cia ordered doctors to carry out quote inhumane and cruel procedures the doctor on calor who took part in the inquiry says many of the techniques were designed by medical staff themselves it was clear policy and practice of the department of defense and of the way that following the tragic events of september eleventh that torture was institutionalized and that health professionals not only participated 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

purpose pet you adding a law i that these methods are safe and effective it's to interrogate techniques there is no question that they were torture they were dangerous they were abusive they're not effective in a listening accurate information and they are wrong. and in other news right now in china there is a bombs loaded outside a regional communist party of waters killing one person and injuring eight ball bearings were used in the devices ripped through a crowd of government employees who were heading into work just over a week ago two tours died and dozens more were injured in a terrorist attack when a car rammed into a crowd on a tenement square. it was a bomber has blown himself up inside the army intelligence h.q. killing several people that's after a powerful blast has ripped through the center of the capital damascus at least eight people were killed and dozens injured one of the explosive device went off near the central railway office it's unclear who was behind the incident which

follows a recent wave of attacks by rebel forces. congolese rebels say they're ending their armed insurgency and will now use only political means to attain their goals the m twenty three groups have been fighting the government in the eastern democratic republic of congo since twenty twelve however the militants were forced out of their strongholds last week in an offensive launched by the congolese army and backed by un troops at least eight hundred thousand people have fled their homes since the start of the fighting. an egyptian court has upheld the ruling imposing an hour ride ban on the muslim brotherhood back in september the group was stripped off its week of status following the army's overthrow of president morsi in july he figures in the brotherhood including that opposed head of state are currently facing charges of inciting violence it was trials as well the future. under discussion in peal of

bells crossed. the trial has been adjourned it started it's already been adjourned has been described by morsy supporters as illegal unfair unjust and unconstitutional how do you react to that there are signals on those signs. we have seen that may make us believe that this is turning to be a political feud and this is what we don't need to see at this point the current provisional government has been backing over or has been backed by the military and this is a yucky situation for the military which is supposed to be. more independent oh the most legitimate institution in egypt right now is the judiciary they were able to go through a full trial an appeals process to take on hosni mubarak for the crimes that he allegedly committed during the two thousand and eleven uprising and now you see the

crimes of the muslim brotherhood being put on trial and if they are found guilty there may be an appeals process there may be another acquittal what we really have to understand in egypt today is on the backdrop of the political process and reformation that's going on by the military backed provisional government is a sagging economy a weakening tourism industry terrorism being strewn throughout the sinai peninsula . after years of financial turmoil the british economy is showing signs of recovery but so far the construction sector remains in the doldrums leaving thousands of workers unemployed artie's bullyboy takes a closer look at where the industry's heading. 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 one hundred fifty thousand skilled construction workers in the u.k. are out of walk and on the dole the welfare payments of 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. building new hospitals we would have actually being prime building workers to produce for the country on the other side you promised so 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 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 sites 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 that's tied complies in our industry economic recovery tense just. with the construction sector beginning to may and the good news is that all of the years of stagnation in the u.k. the only way from here is. what the boys say i'll see the sun sets and up next we'll look at a wiser for one tunnel bay inmates take this. leave
