2:03 pm
people are taking to the streets in tens of thousands to support the idea of your integration or even define yet we deserved to be near a guy shoes to be 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 for a hundred degree. 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 factory closures and a catastrophe unemployment rate and brussels was offering no compensation for any potential economic losses and 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
2:04 pm
they want the president's head before they do alexey rushes to r.t. reporting from kiev in ukraine. protesters say ukraine's leadership ruined hopes for a better future by rejecting the e.u. deal but the government says there were economic dangers to making a hasty agreement on his poor scott takes a look at what went wrong. each a moment of un power allowed 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.
2:05 pm
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 he is not capable of fulfilling yet knowing so where does this leave the situation ukraine's proposals for trilateral talks with russia were rejected by the e.u. brussels finances may not allow them to increase the offer to kiev look at the european union massive run column employment throughout the course of the entire union they have a euro currency project which is a fiasco realistically the only thing the european union can try to do is keep the
2:06 pm
blame storming anybody russia who cares because the european union is ultimately falling apart at the seams so the e.u. departs 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. e.u. officials have condemned the police crackdown on protesters in kiev political commentator and xander in a class of told me that he believes such statements are highly hypocritical. it's very weird for to hear that the european union leaders and especially the people in brussels are condemning the ukrainian government for using the police to to to to deal with the demonstrates isn't if i can tell you in any of those countries in europe britain greece portugal italy you name it police deal very
2:07 pm
roughly with all demonstrators especially if these demonstrations against the austerity which is imposed on these nations by brussels and for these same people to go and tell the ukrainian government that they are heavy handed with their demonstrate this is just hypocrisy. ukraine's reluctance to strengthen trade with the e.u. comes amid criticism that the block has lost direction while tentative right wing groups across the continent are fighting against what they see as liberalism and want to forge a new sense of identity we spoke to one political activists who taking part in the the u.s. conference and he believes young people in particular are being forgotten by the elite. it's only greece spain and portugal finding a job is not that easy these days so of course people go looking especially young
2:08 pm
people go looking and searching for solutions and i think that there are some movements that can give these solutions to the problems today that the capitalist liberal system has cost the government over the european union that dates all to the don't care about jobs of young people so we can see that people are looking for alternatives we can not say that it's a fact a nationalist revolution or we can just say that it's very logical thing to happen it's a logical thing when people are left behind as they starts to organize themselves and they start to think the cia turned to an unlikely source of talent according to media reports it's been suggested the beginning of america's war on terror guantanamo 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 the u.s. with intelligence from abroad the process of recruitment and training was apparently
2:09 pm
carried out in secret cottages not far from the detention camp is and to feel more like hotel rooms and prison cells dozens of inmates were reportedly offered a job while only a handful agreed on the pentagon security analyst michael maloof explains 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 and 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 have of being used as a double agent that's the claim of colonel morris davis he's
2:10 pm
a former guantanamo chief prosecutor i would assume like in many organized crime cases sometimes you got to 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 were asking them to prosecute people for war crimes and they're saying wait a minute 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 and i 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 who have been cleared you're still at guantanamo and the detention so the more guilty you are may have been better for you. for the babies become symbols of hope palestinian women overcome huge risk to start families without husbands languishing in israeli jails you can find out how they did it. the international

for most of this is international. amnesty. international believes that bahrain has more interest in science and dissent than seeking justice after authorities refused to release opposition leader from jail the rights group said there was no reason to keep him locked up as he is most of his two year terms for release but
2:13 pm
from bahrain watched as only international pressure can force bahrain to change course the government will release him if and only if there is significant pressure from behind allies meaning the united states of 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 deeley 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 earlier protests so we're not seeing the use of tear gas and behind to disperse a 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
2:14 pm
dialogue when there's there's so many political prisoners and representatives of the opposition major players of the opposition in person. slamming the brakes on german roads the e.u. plans to rein in the country's no limit motorways by imposing speed restrictions on the famed autobahns. plus we told you so activists point to a series of increasingly powerful earthquakes in texas as evidence of the dangers of shale gas drilling those stories still to come. but first palestinian women whose husbands are in israeli jails face a difficult dilemma how can they start a family the reports five women from the occupied territories have already given birth by finding genius ways around the obvious obstacles. lydia ramai calls her son a miracle baby 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

2:18 pm
a string of increasingly strong earthquakes battering local communities residents though believe they know the cause the hundreds of local shale gas fracking the sites where the process involves pumping fell's of tons of toxic chemicals to literally dissolve rocks on the ground and it's been argued for years that fracking could potentially cause earthquakes but that's been hard to back up with data for marin texas calvin tillman believes harming the environment for cash could have irreversible effects. some pretty good at it shows the injection wells which all of the fracking moist is deposited in that they have been linked to these are required and i think you have to be believed to not think that all of things going on underground is going to have 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 texas than they do in any other state in the united states around the world the impacts that this has i mean

computer scientists activists and just interested people who've come together for crypto festival their skills are hugely into market with more than twenty workshops to teach you use stuff like how to have private conversations on instant messaging for example encrypt your emails browse the internet anonymously and it all aimed at non-experts so i'm hoping that we'll be able to bring it down to my level as he shows me how to encrypt my computer ai and is there one thing that you can do that sort of the base level security for me you know we just got to tour a brochure of run running this allows you to surf. the web pages without revealing that you weren't using those where pages. many people in the west it might sound quite unimportant but of course are many places in the world where it can be visiting a website can already get you in big trouble and this red browser creates a connection over the internet through other systems that hide should you where you
2:21 pm
where you are physically on the planet i expect very much right. the main beef of i in and the other people who are here at crypto festival is that young people aren't being taught this security etiquette if you like as a matter of course and it's something we're going to need more and more in the future. on one currency but corn is now almost overtaken gold in value a single bit calling currently trades for one thousand two hundred dollars just shy of an ounce of bullion when earlier we spoke to dr richard stallman president of the free software foundation about the currency one advantage he says is freedom to spend your money any way you like. 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 with 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

2:24 pm
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 your throats but can manufacture is the notion that a slowdown will save lives cities six. major accidents etc. on the autobahn this is on the streets off side the autobahn and this is already very limited. and for 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 are not being subject to democratic accountability in the european parliament and that seems to me is is the source of a lot of the frustration tensions in countries

2:26 pm
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 their ex used to build up some infrastructure by i think this is a big misconception let's look back to the two thousand lympics and beijing yes china is really develop in the last twenty years but the olympics really teach us
2:27 pm
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 it 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 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. of the. economic ups and downs in the final months day the london deal sank i and the rest because i was a meat case he will be everything we own
2:28 pm
a. welcome to the kaiser report imax kaiser there's a dangerous new idea in the news this week and it's called an idiot which is the ability to live without food the world comes from catholic tradition whereby states are said to have been able to live long periods of time without any sustenance but the eucharist as always modern humans have taken this idea to a whole new level of stupidity by following a practice called breath unerring ism rather than eat or drink followers of their birth area and go pear feeling hungry just go pear thirsty gulp more air on the plus side there's air gulping diet saves time and energy that would normally be
2:29 pm
spent on cleaning up or washing the dishes on the down side betty soon die of starvation but anyway i know what you're thinking you're thinking this stupid diet sounds a whole lot like central banking and you'd be right when the economy is starving followers of the central banking diet don't turn to wealth creation for sustenance they go pear yes credit is created out of thin air they did job here's where ben bernanke he does he go bear markets crashing janet yellen just gulps air and just as with breath unerring ism the upside is that a whole lot of time and energy is saved in not actually having to work for a living on the downside many worlds die of starvation stacy this sounds like an excellent idea diet. well let's look at this diet of gulping air as applied to central banking first the government dominated bond market this is an article about j.p. morgan.
