dozens wounded the rest of ukrainian police crackdown on protesters in kiev as tears of thousands of their demands for the country's leadership to resign after were drunk and association deal. i'm gone tunnel bay prisoners reportedly agreed to spy for the u.s. in exchange for cash and freedom. the more guilty you or may have been better for you. critics condemn this shii toxic saying dangerous elements might have gone out while innocent americans stay locked up indefinitely. on the bahraini authorities leave the main opposition leader in jail despite him being eligible for release amnesty international says it's clear at the moment he isn't interested in

justice. this is our c international coming to live from moscow hello and welcome to the program arrives police use tear gas and bottoms to despise antigovernment protests in the ukrainian capital overnight people have been out on the streets for awake now angry with the president's decision to reject an end to the international deal with the. during the week he of central square was the stage of the mass protest all those supporting you integration opposing president acknowledges decision not to sign the euro association deal in vilnius it is no longer the case right police is now controlling the area during the night several hundred policemen came here and dispersed the crowd and eyewitnesses say that the

dispersal was rather rather violent more than thirty people were arrested and more than forty had to be hospitalized with different injuries the right police cordoned off the area not letting anyone inside the square and while the opposition is still contemplating the next move people are literally enraged with what happened this night nobody actually expected that this rally would be dispersed especially considering that for the last three or four days it was very very peaceful and no clashes no violence was reported the fact is that many ukrainians thousands tens of thousands that have been protesting against his decision i talked to some of them and i realize that not all of them were actually aware of what they were protesting against let's have a look at my report. it's italy. greece. spain . portugal.

and ukraine a similar picture but looks are deceiving well a number of european countries has been protesting against brussels policy ukraine is probably the only one where people are taking to the streets in tens of thousands to support the idea of your integration or even then yes we deserved to be in europe and i should use the deal would have allowed us to get better education in europe but this was not about being in the e.u. joining the union was not even on the table the two hundred page blueprint of the agreement never said anything about a visa free regime where he isn't about that my wife can go to poland and buy a lot of food for just ten her even though which is just over a dollar. that's twice as much as i can buy here four hundred greville but the government was concerned that ukraine's domestic products would be swarmed by cheap or easy you goods the worst case scenario could have been a factory closures and a catastrophe unemployment rate and brussels was offering no compensation for any potential economic losses despite that ukraine's leadership has hinted

a deal may still materialize in march next year that would mean a longer winter on the streets for the angry crowds who are refusing to go home they want the president's head before they do a look see russia the r.t. reporting from kiev in ukraine. has to say cranes knavish about a week rally in hopes for a better future by rejecting the e.u. deal but the government says they were economic dangerous to make a haystack agreement kiev says it will review the deal next year paul scott takes a look at what went wrong this time. it's. a moment of unparalleled access to the ukrainian president viktor young a cold which comes face to face with e.u. leaders for the first time since stalling on historic trade deal the whole thing caught on camera. i. think.

it's clear that kiev decision to hold proceedings has rankled e.u. leaders following years of negotiations the e.u. senses outside influence we have to set aside short term political calculations. and we may not give in to external pressure not the least from russia. which says the financial deal on offer isn't large enough to prevent damage to ukraine's flailing economy of course neither ukrainian businesses nor the government have this amount of money or will have any time soon that's why ukraine is not ready to take responsibilities is not capable of fulfilling yet oh so where does this leave the situation ukraine's proposals for trilateral talks with russia were rejected by the e.u. or brussels finances may not allow them to increase the offer to kiev look at the

european union massive run can employ men throughout the course of the union they have a euro currency project which is a fiasco realistically the only thing the european union can try to do is keep blame storming anybody russia who cares because the european union is ultimately falling apart at the seams so the e.u. depart vilnius contemplating what might have been despite courting president they simply seemed unable to offer him a deal that was tempting enough scots r.t. vilnius lithuania is going to be a complicated balancing act for ukraine's president between russia and the over the coming year as their pain of chris we've seen a partner at moscow based consulting marker advisory. brushes of a stronger financial position to offer a better deal to ukraine in that time period my assumption is that president yet a covert will try to avoid having to make

a definitive decision either way. after this research dean elections if he were to come out today and say we are definitely moving closer to russia that would inflame the political situation and would lead to a very difficult kind of situation for the next twelve months on the other hand of course he can say or as he's already not said you know we're moving to the european union away for russia so my guess is he'll try to paper all sides over the next winter probably over the next twelve months until after the next election and see what he can extract from both sides in the meantime. ukraine's reluctance to strengthen trade with the e.u. comes amid criticism that the blog has lost direction alternative right away in groups across the continent are fighting against what they see as liberalism and

want to forge a new sense of identity and was close with a one political activist who was taking part in the we the youth conference and he believes young people in particular are being forgotten by the elite. in italy greece spain and portugal finding a job is not that easy these days so of course people go looking for especially young people go looking and searching for solutions and i think that there are some movements that can give these solutions to the problems of today that the capitalist and liberal system isc have cost the government over the european union that they totally don't care about the jobs of people so we can see that people are looking for alternatives we can not say that it's a fact a nationalist revolution we can just say that it's very logical thing to happen it's a logical thing when people are left behind as they start to organize themselves

and they start to think. the cia turns to an unlikely source of talent according to media reports it's been suggested that at the beginning of america's war on terror going tunnel bay prisoners were turned into spies the double agents were promised freedom and safety and sent home with pockets of cash in exchange for providing b.q. us with intelligence from abroad the process of recruitment and training was apparently carried out in secret cottage is not far from the detention town designed to feel more like hotel rooms than prison cells dozens of inmates were reportedly offered a job while only a handful agreed form pentagon security analyst michael maloof explained to us why . any exposure at any time like this of any secret program if there is one is always damaging. the question then is what is the relevance you send these guys back what tangible basis do you have been in the follow up and actually recruiting

and i think that's a serious question but to even have a revelation that such a program might even exist it could be very damaging to these individuals and i doubt that those who are in guantanamo now would really be able to go back without some suspicion being cast upon them in guantanamo the more guilty you are the more chance you're being used as a double agent that's the claim of canon morris davis of foregone time want to prosecute. i would assume like in many organized crime cases sometimes you gotta make a deal with the devil to try to get someone further up the food chain i could take all some consternation from my prosecutors because in some cases we are asking them to prosecute people for war crimes and they're saying way that you want to prosecute the lieutenant at this level but we've let is colonel go which created this kind of paradox of guantanamo where if you were a big enough fish you potentially got a free ticket home in

a wad of cash to take with you if you work you could potentially get prosecuted and if you're in that lower category the people would have been cleared you're still at guantanamo and definite attentions of the more guilty you are may have been better for you. a hundred full of babies become symbols i hope but it's still him and women overcome huge risks to stop families with that husbands who are languishing in this rainy trails find out how they did it later this hour. the little. little. little little. little. the bottom of. the leg it was terrible

a little very hard to make out a little to get along a lot have you ever had sex with the perfect there's no little. little. little. little. little. little little. little bit of a biblical. this

is all seen to national welcome back i'm missing international believes that bahrain is more interested in silencing dissent than seeking justice after all so it has refused to release opposition leader from jail their rights group said there was no reason to keep him locked up as he has served most of his two yet then so is eligible for release but. from bahrain watch says only international pressure can force bahrain to change schools the government will release him different only if there is significant pressure from behind allies meaning the united states or the united kingdom. in absence of that pressure i think the government will still trying to come in prison in line with their campaign of you know trying to prevent any sort of dissent or create any sort of safe space for dissent we saw dealy videos of nighttime bombardments of villages in behind with tear gas these are areas where there's no protests whatsoever going on the government just comes in

and fires massive amounts of tear gas to punish citizens for expressing dissent or earlier protests so we're not seeing the use of tear gas in behind to disperse violent rioters as much as we're seeing it to punish as a weapon of collective punishment we've seen the government try to hold the so-called national dialogue with the opposition but you can't really have this dialogue writers there's so many political prisoners and representatives of the opposition the major players in the opposition in person. slamming the brakes on german roads the new plan is to rein in the country's no limit motorways by imposing speed restrictions on the famed autobahns that. one who told you so anti fracking after is point to a series of increasingly powerful earthquakes in taxes as evidence of the dangers of shale gas drilling. palestinian women whose husbands are in israeli jails face a difficult dilemma how can they start

a family but as paulus here reports fire women from the occupied territories have already given birth by finding in dreaminess ways around the obvious obstacles. we cause whose son american play be the apple of her eye he was born against all odds. then the fact that marge was born has given us hope he's everything to us in the end we won despite all the obstacles for us he is the ultimate luxury mushed was born despite his father's absence a dull career mother ma we is in israeli prison where he's been sentenced to twenty five years for murder lydia was afraid she'd no longer be able to have children by the time he got out and so instead of waiting for him she did the next best thing and arranged for his sperm to be smuggled out the first time i went to visit my husband with his new son the soldiers went crazy when they saw the baby like i was carrying a bomb they started asking questions like how come you have

a baby smuggling sperm from prison is gaining popularity in the palestinian world but first the community must approve after this happened if the procedure is quite straightforward the first thing they have to get. that they have a sample from that. they get if they get a sample we ask of the woman the wife of the prisoners to begin with they have to fear is the give you a letter of from here side and to fetch the getting a letter from her husband's side the is. clear that this will belong to the door this woman's as one of the sample can survive for up to forty eight hours before being frozen five years treatment. for years is three months pregnant her husband some o. is serving an eighteen year sentence. this is i haven't had children for eleven years my husband was in prison all this time the first time in prison his wife got pregnant she basically gave hope to all of us. it's

a puzzle for the israeli prison service in a mission statement they insist that security arrangements and inmates interactions with the visitors are carefully monitored which makes objects exchanged much more difficult they further vul to prevent any smuggling of any kind and none of the. people we interviewed would give details of how the sperm is smuggled out from under the watchful eye of prison guards there was almost no physical contact between security prisoners and their families but five babies have been born this way and eighteen women are pregnant. bringing a baby into this work in spite of the front use fathers in the jews' zionist prison is a form of resistance. policy or r.t. with bank. and there's always you can go online to count child with news we're not covering here this hour like black friday gets out of control the hunt for your kind of prize deals resulted in

a real violent episodes from city to city across the u.s. including shootouts clashes and numerous arrests. and a friday night out turns deadly in this contraceptive glasgow where a police helicopter crashed into a pub living up to six people dead and many more trapped under the rubble. online currency bitcoin has now almost overtaken gold in value a single bit coin currently trades for one thousand two hundred dollars just shy of an ounce of bullion and for more on this looming milestone i can talk to dr richard stallman president of the free software foundation dr stallman welcome to r.t. so what's your verdict is bitcoin a financial miracle or a bubble waiting to burst especially taking into account that it's extreme volatility. i couldn't quite tell what question you're asking me it's too

complicated. i'm not talking yes we're talking about because is it a miracle or a bubble to ready to bust. well first of all is it a bubble bubbles can happen in bitcoin just as they can happen in housing or in tulips or anything that people speculate in so wobbles can happen and that's nothing special or different is a miracle i not sure what that would mean there are good and bad things about bitcoin one good thing about bitcoin is you can send money to someone without getting the permission of a payment company so for instance if you want to support weekly leaks which is a very good thing and which the u.s. government doesn't want to let people support and has used extrajudicial means to chase off the internet partially didn't succeed completely well with because you

can do it on the other hand there is a potential problem with bitcoin which is it might get used for tax evasion i am not in favor of tax evasion but we have to realize that the biggest and most harmful cases of tax evasion are lawful governments don't dare make businesses pay the sort of taxes that they ought to and they don't dare make rich people pay the taxes that they ought to and if we really want to put an end to tax dodging we really need to change the tax laws so that businesses can't offshore their profits now i'm speaking from london and as we know there were big protests against the offshoring of profits that the u.k. government doesn't have the courage to stop why there's so much appetite for bitcoin and what possible advantage is it doesn't have of a conventional currency well its advantage is that you can send money

without getting some company to send it for you. right under do you think the recent revelations of n.s.a. spying have done anything for bitcoin. well i have to point out that big queen is not anonymous that's not part of its design its people don't necessarily give their names when they do bitcoin transactions but the government can probably figure out who is doing the transaction or how are you going to get big coins after all unless you set up a big quantum mining computer which is how bitcoins are made you're going to get them by buying them from someone now if you are an ordinary person you way you could do that is by paying with a credit card to a company that will exchange. government currency for bitcoins well the credit card identifies you so when you get because in return the

government can see who you are how safe is this system. yes please go ahead so now i believe that we need on the worldwide web a system for truly anonymous payment to a website but it's the payer is that has to be anonymous it doesn't have to be anonymous for which web site receive the payment so that's what i advocate setting up. we know the technology that was developed twenty years ago to do this work what's needed is the business and social task of getting it set up such that lots of people can use it we must have an anonymous way to pay websites so that they can't have the excuse that the only way to get any money is by advertising that tracks people we know that if companies track people then the n.s.a. or g c h q is going to look at that data it's going to be tracking people through

these companies so i essential almost never use a credit card to buy anything the only exception generally is airline tickets because they demand my name anyway so i'm not a losing anything by using the credit card the point is we need anonymity to make democracy safe doctors stallman dr richard stallman president of the free software foundation dr stallman thank you very much indeed for sharing your insight with us thank you authorities in a rustic area of taxes perplexed by a string of increasingly strong earthquakes by train local communities residents believe they know the cause blaming the hundreds of local shale gas fracking sites the procedure involves pumping thousands of tons of toxic chemicals to literally dissolve rocks on the ground it's been argued for years that fracking could potentially cause earthquakes but there's been hard to back out with dates that

a former mayor in texas calvin tillman believes harming the environment for cash could have irreversible are facts. some pretty good data that shows the injection wells which all of the fracking noise is deposited in that they have been linked to these earthquakes and i think you have to the goal is to not think that all the things going on underground isn't going to affect you know the long term stability of the earth at the legislative level the oil and gas industry has a significant influence probably more in the state of taxes than they do in any other state in the united states or around the world the the impact this is has i mean you know by the time that you hear the hear the noise and have the earthquakes in or smelling the older than your water has methane in it is too late at that point and so you know the damage that is being done or that it's going to be non is going to go on for many many many years in not something that you're going to be

able to on do gemini's fast and here is also confound a threat he wants to slam the brakes on the speed demons the councilman around awhile to see what that kind of a capable of. but when you go past the sign this is one twenty with a line through it the gloves are off baby you can drive you can drive really government is off your back in germany and you drive says drive as fast as you want . it's the country renowned throughout the world for its also bombs and their unlimited speeds germany could be said to fall foul of regulations that could see drivers of the country's high performance cars limited to a maximum of of around one hundred fifteen kilometers an hour the planned would see fitted with a device that automatically applies the brakes whenever a car exceeds the speed limit in the area the idea is to increase highway safety

thirty thousand people die every year on europe's roads but car manufacturer is the notion that a slowdown will save lives to six. major accidents. on the autobahn this is on the streets offside this is already very limited. and to some it's a clear indicator of the european commission overtaking what should be national masses the problem at the moment is that many of those rules are being made by the commission and not being subject to democratic accountability in the european parliament and that seems to me is the source of a lot of the frustration and tensions in countries a decision on whether to move ahead with the idea is expected in the new year german drivers however have already made up their minds it will kill the joy of driving. i'm against good limits cause those jobs. will

not allow that to happen people will fall asleep at that speed the whole reason we built beautiful roads was to drive on the property of it's going to be a turf war and for the e.u. to convince germans that their speed should be in the hands of brussels that southall and does alto ban i was dxed germans. to the french or roast beef to the british. not things are they going to want to give up control of easily. control over germany. and carry out the next states breaking the set with host abby martin and follow international viewers and for those watching us from the u.k. it's actually returns that takes you on the topics that are being ignored by the country's main stream media state.

i hate to be a downer but i really think the olympics have lost all meaning in the past when there was the cold war it was like a battle between two ideologies taking place in the abstract and the one nine hundred thirty six olympics nazi pseudo science their self-proclaimed superiority was put on trial for the whole world to see and spent the olympics having the majority of the countries on earth participating they're now horribly horribly bland one could argue that they have become a great way for countries to show off or excuse to build up some infrastructure by think this is a big misconception let's look back to the two thousand a lympics in beijing yes china has really developed in the last twenty years but the olympics really teach us anything about this country with a radically different political system or anything about their ancient culture or the way they think or the way they live no nothing at all all we saw were some flags and some pandas that rather unique stadium which was mostly the work of a swiss company yeah i hate to say i think the olympic flame is kind of burnt out over the years although i have to admit that saying the torch in the space was kind

of neat i think that when and if the world ever becomes an ideological battle ground again and then the olympics will become worth watching but for now it's just generic sports from generic countries a generic stadiums but that's just my opinion. ball it up i'm abby martin and this is breaking the set so qatar is roughly the size of connecticut but the small persian gulf state is emerging as a major player on the world stage in fact it's set to host the twenty twenty two world cup of course an event this size requires an unimaginable amount of building and labor and that's where nepal comes in this is a country of two million people there are currently three hundred forty thousand nepalese migrant workers many of which been assigned to world cup construction.
