competing causes simultaneous a pro and anti-government protest in the ukrainian capital after tens of thousands arrive from across the nation to show their support for president which. underneath the square of the protest you can. only you don't that's with the european union flag are now available for sale profiting from protests we look at how some people are taking advantage of the divisions in ukraine to make a pretty penny. ireland shakes free of the e.u. lenders becoming the first state in the block to exit its a bailout program but the country's government warns that financial independence may not mean the end of austerity. the night turns bloody in madrid as police clashed with protesters demanding an end to the draft legislation

that would see them pay hefty fines for demonstrating as austerity is sending spaniards to literally live in caves. the residents of let's hear a lot of work to really try to make this home. but these efforts are being overlooked by spanish authorities who insist that the cave dwellers must leave their homes are two reports from the city of granada where citizens are defending their right to stay put. broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is our t.v. let's get right to our top stories now you are seeing rival rallies in the ukrainian capital the pro e.u. demonstrators are here on your left they have been camped out in kiev for several

weeks now but the pro government crowd has joined in as well tens of thousands of people have come from all over ukraine to show their support for president young. paul scott is in q. you can see the close proximity between the two opposing rallies right behind me is independence square which has been the heart of the opposition movement for the last number of weeks now you can see the barricades that have been built by the protesters and reinforced in the last couple of days but if we pan around to the left hand side now this is european square and this is the scene of a rally in support of the president where you can get a sense of exactly how close the pro and anti government supporters are the line of police separating the two camps just here to my right hand side now if we take you through to the main parts of european square where the main pro-government rally is taking place we got to try and show off prescott to walk through this line of police at the moment to main in the main part of european square and as you can see

the pro-government rally is in full swing. well here we are in the halls of the pro-government rally in disclosure the presence of these pro-government supporters and the fact that they are just a hundred yards away from independence square things are actually quite calm at the moment tensions are quite high but things are peaceful now on friday president. had a roundtable discussion with members of the opposition here three on and on the state for prisoners for protesters who were arrested throughout the course of these demonstrations but he refused the key demands of his resignation and an early election another moment we're still left with this standoff. the president has suspended the deputy secretary and the defense secretary as well as the mayor of kiev they are among the four officials of being investigated for allegedly ordering the violent police response to the rallies on november thirtieth but while some are

fighting ideological battles on the streets others are cashing in on the protest parties. explains. the korean capital has been in a protest mode for more than two weeks now it looks completely different than a month ago people are living here cooking food. and definitely life has changed when the protests kicked off talking about food underneath the square of the protest you can literally chew on the e.u. donuts with the european union flag are now available for sale. thank you very much . and the taste delicious local fridge magnet manufacturers were quick to pounce on the idea of the protest and now you can purchase a very peculiar more ability from sending yellow coverage to prison to localizing international brands. it's no wonder that central kiev is the place of many restaurants and bars in their lives have been affected in one way or another we decided to pay

a visit to one of the oldest pubs in the city center to find out. so we lost the pubs manager how they protest affects the life of his restaurant. but also how have the euro my done and protests affected your pub the number of visitors has increased only slightly since these protests kicked off but now we've got a special offer menu which includes items such as tea and cake and will be open twenty four seventh's for as long as the year on my down protests continue but not all and seem to be equally happy with the way the protests are going some of the local taxi drivers have complained to me that the barricade makes their life a true traffic nightmare i talk to one of them right now what do you think of the barricades in the center of the city i'm sick and tired of this government but being a taxi driver is my job so those barricades in downtown key that actually make it much harder for me to do my job and feed my family. the further we step away from the my down the more mood change we seeing among the locals some of them have been

enraged by particular aspects of this unrest as someone who was born and raised in kiev how do you feel both these protests protests are good i'm tired of you look over to because i think he's run his course but as a key if resident i'm not sure why monuments needed to be destroyed it seems these demonstrations have been privatized by a bunch of vandals. but just one kilometer from the independence square there are places where the revolution vibe is non-existent after what has been a turbulent and hard weekly crane people are letting off steam in different nightclubs and bars but then it's life goes on despite the some part of the city is still on the revolutionary lockdown let's hear s.s.t. r.t. reporting from kiev in ukraine. first it was the e.u. politicians and of the assistant u.s. secretary of state mingling with of ukrainian protesters now american senator john

mccain is doing the same his message if the police keep up and using violence against protesters the u.s. senate will click quickly level sanctions against those responsible for ordering the crackdown but professor bruno draw esky from the national institute of eastern studies in france says the on russian kiev it doesn't reflect what most ukrainians think tomorrow the maturity of ukrainian people is not many face it is not a money if they station if you look in all it's all ukrainian cities they are very quite it's only in kiev to tipperary by to do you say to. stick this menu through stations and there is no proof that the maturity to clean people is only two cycles. and if you station and up aren't even it's the contrary you are two poles of opinion so it's just a question of. you know of many our creation in two ways because objectively

united states in western country how did you see it in middle east especially in syria and in a certain sense they wants to change the balance of power to international balance and of power and ukraine is a good playground for them. now this is what is happening in kiev right now you can see that the barricades and the camps that have been set up by the pro e.u. demonstrators for weeks but the crowds appear to have a dwindling somewhat you can keep up to date with all of the events in ukraine by visiting our team dot com. to syria now al qaeda linked rebels have reportedly abducted one hundred twenty kurds from a village close to the turkish border the news was released on friday by the u.k. based observatory for human rights it said that all the captives were taken to an

unknown location assad it did wanting a kurdish human rights activist explains the reasons why it kurds are being targeted by islamist rebels. they could not get civilians all from the village of north or ninety people kind of sixty one north east all from videos with jobless and his eyes holds on it's going to. also a supporter of secularism in syria or egypt at least sectarian or a program of the armed groups or the opposition of the opposition or the. dummy's there is no i mean it's time to clear is a secular tendency which is directed toward establishing a multi religious and multi sleet their. traditions leading to this and. ireland has become the first e.u. state to exit its bailout program the nation which was hit hard by the two thousand and eight crisis has climbed out of recession and its economic environment has

improved significantly but as it tells our silly reports from dublin there are plenty of challenges ahead before the country experiences a full recovery. arlene will would itself be quote shackles of the troika on sunday and will wake up on monday as a quote normal european country standing on equal footing a confident claim by prime minister kenny ahead of the country's official exit from its bailout program for eighty five billion euros it cost the irish three years of painful austerity higher taxes slashed minimum wage which has since been raced back high youth unemployment and another wave of irish immigration i'm not sure that the hard ideological line of austerity which was common for crime europe was a good one the irish people would be too nice to see the end of the troika to see the opportunity for a street gang or economic sovereignty to be able to make our own decisions in relation to our future the government here is touting the exit from the bailout

program as restoring economic and financial freedom but no one here is under any illusion that that exit would also mean an end to hardships or complete release from austerity while the idea of possibly having more control over their destiny as a nation is psychologically uplifting people really want is freedom from individual debt that so many here are still heavily burdened with. facing long term slowdown and all structural growth we still are facing. in other words when you look at the overall economic level of achievement of exit in this bailout it's not really that significant yet at the same time that we should go to the nation to the government to the nation was. calling. in dublin city center sights and sounds of the festive season are present but it rings hollow for those who feel they've simply been kicked to the curb no one would

celebrate. be happy were exiting from us will it have any impact or a. the budget for this year or next year no willing to read the mortgage arrears figures take a dramatic change next quarter no. or t w. well ireland's finance minister has called of the bailout exit a milestone however he also admitted that the government may have to continue with cuts to help drive the country's debt down political analysts yawn epping says that financial independence from lenders is still far away for many other crisis stricken states within the block. what we actually like to see is more transparency and now it is in the situation in which basically the troika. acts like a governor. and visits its colonies and what to do with the measures they come out

with are not very effective they also cause a stir and also the reduction of the economy at the moment the troika is free to do what it wants and that is not right in a democracy the issue basically is how much time do we have when all the economies of greece italy spain portugal signed first growing again now i don't know how long it will take it is going to be one or two years like in ireland it will be very good but if it going to be ten years it's going to be very little and i'm afraid that many citizens in those countries will not accept this particular note if this . is going to be a stake nations for ten years to come i think this will have very serious political consequences. on the eve of the anniversary of the sandy hook elementary school massacre tragedy strikes once again in the united states as a. classmate while hunting down a teacher at his school before turning the gun on himself coming up we report on

what makes america a hotbed for gun violence plus. it's difficult because if you see no white person around as south africa mourns the death of nelson mandela racial tensions are still strong in some places across the country we visit one such area after the break. depravity as shocked australia in a remote valley police discovered a family that has been interbreeding for four generations brother sister father daughter uncle. nice resulting in a gruesome outcome for all involved in what the police refer to as an incest cult. and i know what you're thinking you're thinking that sounds a whole lot like wall street sons and daughters program where sons and daughters of

the fathers and mothers aunts and uncles ruling the world are hired to see the banking system with a generation genetically identical to swarm for dead products. right to see. her street. and i think that you're. on a reporter's. welcome back you're watching our team now in madrid protests have turned violent with demonstrators setting cars on fire and throwing bottles while police have made

arrests several people have reportedly been injured as well police barricades prevented the so-called surround the congress movement from reaching government buildings. i. you can see here crowds have encircled the congress with people outraged by an earlier draft legislation which allows authorities to hit those protesting outside government buildings with hefty fines archivist dorsett says the demonstrators are not afraid of the government and will continue their efforts to make their voices heard see. this is only the beginning we need a lot of efforts to stop this legislation but we didn't want this year to end without at least starting to demonstrate against this law and yes this is only the beginning because it will take some months for the law to be considered and adopted but hopefully achieved what we want but it's not the last time we need more people as this protest was mostly spontaneous we want to make our voices heard now we've

wanted before and will always want it they won't be able to shut us up and we aren't afraid. now to other parts of spain where strict austerity policies made it people find alternative places of settlement modern day cave dwellers in spain are facing a vacation from their picturesque settlement despite years of pressure from the government and orders to leave the families are digging in and are determined to stay they say there is more behind the objection than meets the eye parties with the cafe off was welcomed into one of the unconventional homes. although the tools used to dig out the caves of san miguel have changed little over the centuries this home has been modernized and it's been a pain staking labor with one's hands this tunnel was dug out but it's been installed with modern comforts like light for instance now the resident that lives here has taken a lot of work to really try to make this into a home

a comfortable floor as you can see a hard floor so he can walk around a kitchen area in order to cook to entertain guests and most importantly he says these feeling reinforcements now this is critical because the city council says it's dangerous for the residents to live here whereas they say they've put in a lot of work a lot of labor in order to make sure these caves are safe for their residency for a moment specific. studies to build. a bridge in changed from nothing to take some time to do it but it's about that the reason determination to do it. now this is what the boiling looks like from the outside it's certainly not an easy kind of lifestyle there's no running water for instance that has to be carried in by hand from a fountain in a nearby church the residents who have built up these caves are very proud of their work but many simply have no other place to call home the case of some to go have posted people in need for centuries from gypsies

a religiously prosecuted minorities and others who are close to save their homes they have a. sixth sense because of what a wooden economic price is getting more hears more and more of. this community they can call home the city wants to make them fighting help and the reason the people here say it's money they believe the government is acting like a poor poor nation for tourism that wants to build up this area into something. and enjoy it and that has been. the activity since the sixty's. that's why he's working like a corporation it's led. by. social exclusion you know people are always going to leave. a place to.

reach people who are willing to try to get. the city council isn't likely to abandon its plans to evict the residents but for the people living in the caves of san miguel giving up is simply not an option reporting we're not a space for our tea i'm lucy catherine of. now to italy where hundreds of people have once again rallied on the streets claiming that some of the government of policies are leading to falling incomes and a growing unemployment and started protests got a second wind across the nation and in some cities descended into violence demonstrators and raged to with tax hikes and biting cuts and full of sectors have clashed with police on the streets of turin rome and venice spearheaded first by farmers and truck drivers the movement was later joined by students and small business owners earlier r.t. spoke to european asset manager eric kraus who says that the public's discontent is driven by the ill management of the country. the protests are very

global there they have not clearly articulated any goals and you know why a mixture of left and right. everything from small engine plane nerves to sar murders laborers the unemployed students so it's polymorphous but the country's basin very tired of the current way it's being governed and the problems with europe the neo-fascist may be made up side of percent of the four county that you probably have more or less wavers they need old fashioned seniors for their main routing point just to check out they want all of the politicians to go home and for there to be a new government but of course a new election would not really solve it with me is a fundamental reform of the system. garia has also witnessed to some unrest four people have been arrested at an anti-government march demanding the parliament step

down protesters carried torches as they marched towards the government buildings marking six months since the start of their campaign demonstrators reportedly fired tear gas at police and threw torches at them protests in sofia started in june after a member of the turkish minority party was appointed as head of the national security service. now police are investigating what drove an eighteen year old karl pierson to open fire in his call school in colorado critically injuring one girl there armed with a shotgun the high school senior entered the building looking for a teacher after firing a series of shots he then turned the weapon on himself the tragedy came just a day before the anniversary of the sandy hook elementary school massacre in connecticut which killed twenty young children and six adults a year ago the twenty year old adam lanza committed one of the worst mass shootings

in u.s. history and again has given rise to debate over gun control in the country joel stein is a former us presidential candidate for the green party she told r.t. what she believes is fueling the nationwide rise in gun violence. we have about one hundred times the rate of gun homicides and violent gun crimes relative to many countries of western europe and we should not be in the business of normalizing violence it's clear there's a relationship between gun violence and economic crimes and poverty and racial disparities and economic disparities and all that and the more we become an unjust society. the more we are at risk for continuing gun violence and potentially growing gun violence members of south africa's government are paying their last respects to nelson mandela before sunday's funeral but as the country mourns his death appears to be revealing some sore spots in the still divided state

policy or reports from a johannesburg suburb where life is far from what mandela envisioned for his country. it's definitely unsafe because they have you seen a white person around think. this core. can is taking us on a drive through the streets of his childhood this was a wealthy white neighborhood during the time of apartheid brown is now a very different place i wouldn't carry a camera gary anything. of value i wouldn't wear a watch i wouldn't read anything that could make me vulnerable to be attacked they'll be robbed a handful of white south africans still live here most are too old or too poor to move out move and stephen is one of the few who still call hillbrow home it's a pretty they're pretty busy. because i think with the current government

things all this visit is going to. be. twenty three years after the end of apartheid south africa remains plagued with unresolved racial tension. while people are they still have the opportunity. mostly maybe to distance themselves to the blokes. their members well we couldn't be on the streets of hue brown after night at night some black south africans he admits are still angry it may be they have but a good word or something because they nor door wide so with killing off their being their wives they hate girls and while it's the thing that they have my own little movie they do don't have miley at times south africa seems very far from the country mandela hoped it would be instead of becoming a melting pot of different cultures and colors suburbs like hillbrow are today

places where whites are too afraid to go and where the black population remembers very well they once were. the post the present and the future balance put side by side as the nation mourns its most famous son and wonder what comes next port of johannesburg. and coming up after the break it's the kaiser report you're watching r.t. international stay with us. as we all know the holidays are a great time for families to get together and sometimes on the l. call gets flowing they're also a great time for us to argue about everything from politics to religion with the

ones we love but if you happen to be an n.s.a. agent then the government has an official list of talking points that way you can win those family arguments for sure yeah that's right the government is now giving n.s.a. agents lists of very corny talking points going to firedoglake so that way they could convince their relatives over the holidays of just how awesome effective and necessary the national security agency truly is the spite all those little revelation thinks of mass spying by snowden trust me talking points exist for a reason political social and religious organizations and use them so that when their members who may not be the best debaters on the planet can defend the positions of the organization and i would have no problem with the n.s.a. gave this list to agents they could answer questions from journalists but when the government wants you to propagandize your friends and family over christmas and thanksgiving it all seems kind of cultish to me that's just my opinion.

welcome to the kaiser report imax kaiser a case of incest and depravity as shocked australia in a remote valley police discovered a family that has been interbreeding for four generations brother sister father daughter uncle niece resulting in a gruesome outcome for all involved in what the police refer to as an incest cult. i know what you're thinking you're thinking that sounds a whole lot like wall street sons and daughters program where sons and daughters of the fathers and mothers aunts and uncles ruling the world are hard to see in the banking system with a generation of genetically identical dysmorphic debt products and it churn out collateralized cross-eyed did obligations commingled what they're really hypothecated twins and john cores on pool and bogus mortgage backed securities backed by contracts on which all of the t.'s are crossed but the misaligned i's are

dotted with bulging growths of gruesome fraud yes four generations of incest in the providence and the credit markets ought to shock the world with a gruesomely deformed economy it is spot on i bet this economy can squeal like a pig well. stacey ferber what makes looks like we got this south here instead of a bore in this first headline j.p. morgan chase the foreign corrupt practices act and the corruption of america the justice department has just obtained documents showing that j.p. morgan chase wall street's biggest bank has been hiring the children of china's ruling elite in order to secure existing or potential business opportunities from chinese government run companies according to internal e-mails released as part of this investigation one e-mail said quote you all know i have always been a big believer of the sons and daughters program says one j.p.

morgan executive in an e-mail because quote it almost has a linear relationship to winning assignments to advice chinese companies. j.p. morgan back and then there is always committing some kind of fraud or malfeasance or this is what happens when interest rates are low they kept artificially cheap. it's like if you have cancer and you're eating foods that help grow the cancer i forget which would say an agenda of course. atlantic fluids if you eat carcinogenic foods or a limb maybe next door to. get rid of radioactivity you might get some poisonous radioactivity and die when you keep interest rates cheap as they do at the federal reserve bank or marconi here in the bank of england you spawn cancer of cancerous incestuous ball business mel for many these like jamie diamond and j.p. morgan that are now eating up.
