to the place that some gulag of our time. tonight crowds in hundreds of cities across the globe have taken part in the million mask march against corruption corporate greed an online privacy breach its . tension with germany in the u.k. over spying allegations grow. london of breaching international law by using its embassy as a surveillance post. reporting a deadly blast hitting the syrian capital damascus while a suicide bombing rocks a town in the south of the country this spike in terror comes as the prospect for peace talks moves further away i don't have to you know reaching for the stars the olympic torch for the winter games in sochi prepares for liftoff in its first ever space walk we report from the launch sites.

over a good evening for me kevin owen if you just joined us live from the r.t. new center just after eleven pm now in moscow our top story guy fawkes night took on a global field this year and activists in more than four hundred cities around the world turned for the million man march to show their anger at corrupt politicians corporate rule and states of aliens in london the night was marked by fire scuffles and arrests crowd started a fire near buckingham palace and blocked parliament square the police moved in covering that side of the story r.t. sarah ferguson was there. oh yeah. trying to first run the protest of the lithium on the march to leather cargo really having a lot of resistance from the protesters to the lot of other people no more live as well possibly even more than that in the last operation

a very very very ugly racist that's why i created the right wing not be ruined he told me look you know the fact is that it would be. rather unexpectedly the million mom march here in london has paid the fees they have 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. well the media must pray to sit here in london have ended up outside buckingham palace oh yes there's them even making it across the gate we seeing prices break has an eye for 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. . it's the picture that in the u.k. across the atlantic protested the united states also took their chance to deliver a firm no to corporate greed and privacy breaches crowds marched through downtown los angeles to show their solidarity with the movement many of them lined by wall street front meantime over on the east coast activists also gathered outside not surprisingly the white house protest from washington correspondent john if you can report. here in washington you have different protests. marching under the umbrella of be anonymous they produce different things they protest what they see is a police state they focused against the persecution of whistleblowers they protest against law saying told the world's biggest producer of genetically modified seed so generally speaking they see themselves as

a movement against the government in corporation is 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 masked 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 funnel private information of their users two thousand and agencies and now in light of edward snowden's revelations they demand a drastic overhaul of the n.s.a.

. going to counter what we put this radio to get our correspondents feeding where the marches all took place that was like a green is where it all happened people rolling out almost every continent in europe france italy portugal crowds came into the streets were masks elsewhere in canada mexico brazil same thing happened also crowds out in the streets in japan australia and new zealand too with a guard force must become a symbol of the protest movement courses and top selling item on mine so much money can save money here martin lives into its significance. be 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 if 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

anonymity. next the spying scandal between germany and britain is gathering force warned london that using its embassy roof as a surveillance post is illegal under international law the allegations of u.k. snooping come on the heels of calls for another revelation america's unprecedented spying on the german chancellor he's a recent scot the latest. now we know of course that it wasn't just the u.s. 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 which of course is in the heart of

a not very far from the german parliament not at all far from merkel's office 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 just longer distance communications right across the german capital so it's incredibly intrusive syncros it really 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 now to protect the nation and the first test of those relations particularly between the u.s. and germany is coming up next week the space be trade negotiations between the u.s.

and the european union understandably those in now in jeopardy or a smith for european parliament member paul murphy figs that although there will be consequences for london in the end business interests will prevail over public demands for just. germany and britain are both in the european union together they are meant to be part of a common political project and so it's more difficult for them to express the open and tiger doesn't that doesn't exist it does but at the same time i think it is going to have consequences or it will deepen the divide between the. britain as represented by the government within germany. there is kind of star of difference there with britain more representing an atlanticist view of the european union obviously being part of the so-called five i guess together with the u.s. you know u.s. led was counted a strain in new zealand and britain whereby they spy on others but supposedly agree not to spy on each other i think actually what would happen is that there's been

attempts there'd be an attempt by the governments to so madi express and give voice to be felt by people but then to try and put a lid on it because if you look at what's happening between the you with the us i mean there is words of criticism but then both sides want to get on for example with the free trade agreement between the two in the us because they see it as being in the interests of big business on both sides. so when the u.k. apparently no rush to give burley announces over the latest spying allegations peter all of went out to find out what the germans themselves that is said. the fallout from the revelations that britain may have had a spy nest on the roof of its embassy in berlin are being felt right across germany here in rural northern bavaria the local newspaper carries the headline now even the british as spying on us it also has a picture of the locations of the british and american embassies and where the various listening posts were supposed to be now the people who we speak to here say

this really isn't what friends do to one another. it's shocking we've been friends with britain for a long time outside of our knowledge to show i think it's shameful what they've done and they don't care if this isn't right now try to do a disgusting but nothing will get done. that you think it's not ok but what can we do against this type of operation the response from britain that they don't question when it comes to matters of national security isn't doing anything to ease the concerns of people all across germany who are left wondering just how much of their personal and private data is being listened to or looked at by their allies in the united kingdom all of which could lead to some potentially interesting talks next time david cameron meets with anglo merkel but could end up having some role that toxic implications for relations between two of europe's major powers. still ahead on r t an investigation sheds light on military talk shit in the u.s.

an independent before it shows while the defense department or the cia masterminded the abusive treatment it was the doctors and medical stuff they were hands on plus a nationwide strike in greece shuts down public services and transport for twenty four hours protesters go all out to get some sturdy program whipped up by the company's international lenders examine the latest two. but not before we've talked about this terrorist attacks across syria have left at least sixteen people dead according to local media in the north of the country they shelled a power plant that disrupted electricity supplies to the strategic city of aleppo artie's paula sleep has got the latest. at least eight people have been killed and many more injured in the capital city of damascus as a result of an explosion that happened at the entrance to the railway building among those injured are women children and construction workers there is no group that as of yet has come forward to claim responsibility for this attack but the

government is calling it the work of terrorists which does refer to opposition and rebel fighters who have been backing it out with the syrian president bashar assad at the same time there's been a second incident of violence in the southern city of suede and now there we are hearing that a suicide bomber drove a car into a building belonging to the syrian military intelligence and then in another incident in hama province there we're hearing that a gang has attacked a military outpost again no word there of casualties but this has been a bloody few hours of violence in syria and the attacks come in the wake of no movement on the diplomatic front there had been hope that geneva two would bring together the syrian government and the opposition before the end of the year but the latest word now is that on november the twenty fifth the russian as well as the american delegates under the umbrella of the united nations arab league envoy

lakhdar brahimi will meet and only even perhaps while they agree on a date by when to have this next round of negotiations the problem is the sticking points which first and foremost is the division within the opposition and they also are insisting that the syrian president bashar assad is removed before they're prepared to come to talks now this comes on the back of several weeks of foreign inspectors working inside syria and up until now the wood from these inspectors has always been positive. well as paul is saying that despite the progress in syria's chemical disarmament hailed by the international chemical watchdog on the world there is still skepticism coming from america tonight u.s. officials say the assad government may be trying to hold on to some of its toxic arsenal but joyed coleman author and journalist and writing stance of the syrian conflict spoke to me earlier he says such statements he thinks are just acts of desperation on washington's part i think the west is very very desperate in syria right now they've been bogged down there now for two years with foreign mercenaries

and foreign terrorist groups they've been basically sending over the border from turkey and from lebanon and from iraq and neighboring countries so they are not really interested in disarming syria this is not a question of this are in syria this is basically a smokescreen what they're really trying to do is cover up for their own crimes the crimes of the groups that they've been sending into syria now since two thousand and eleven these are these are terrible fascist groups extremists are funded by saudi arabia and qatar and israel and what they're trying to do is to divert attention from the terrible atrocities being committed by these groups and blame the assad government again but there is absolutely no evidence whatsoever of the use of chemical weapons against the syrian population by the syrian government coming up in the program on a much lighter note just ahead the space mission to the olympic torch and the day greased and still we're talking about that story just a couple of minutes the top is going to assess of course.

euros for next year's bailout while athens says it needs five times less with his kenya case of the civil servants confederation in greece to leave his country stuck in a vicious circle. we want to send a message to the government and to the troika that it is enough with this kind of austerity policy this fit policy has failed already for three years they promise that it will be a development in the country it will it should be a growth but the set of these we see poverty growing up we see unemployment people and when we don't see any result in the numbers in the us and the statistics in the figures of our public debt and the public's deficit all these loans everybody knows that all this money they're giving they're going to have to pay back this loans the situation cannot continue anymore. online a correspondent providing a really unique glimpse into the fukushima exclusion zone so few people want to go there. is. working on

following their use and in purpose pet you a ding a law 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 in a listening accurate information and they are wrong after years of stagnation the british economy starting to show signs of recovery but so far the construction sector remains in the doldrums leaving thousands of workers of employed at his political takes a closer look next to where the industry's heading when. 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 a vba 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 preferred to 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 was and on the dole the welfare payments a 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 future. building new hospitals we would have actually being planned building works to produce the country on the other side you promised sexperts 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 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 leaving again and i think what we're saying is that government has 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. as seem to be the more elderly workers on sawing and that is probably caused by the lack of apprenticeships and the lack of trying that's tied complies in our industry economic recovery tensest. 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 an equally void there are the lines of. good era lost of maximus promise the fate of egypt's a president morsi and his key supporters up for debate in the late edition of people of us crosstalk.
