speak your language. programs in documentaries in arabic it's we'll here almost all to talk to the world talk to your pm to treat. the arabic to find out more visit arabic don't teach. you what to do with me katie put we both into a christmas show you are going to be joined by the one and i mean that's kind of his views on a bank bonuses and not small cuts so i went to a toy store to find out what we had as a doing to compete with the eco was food aid rushed up the crackers all the way some fun stuff in fellas as well so you sit with

a couple bag knowable bones wanna try whatever it is you've got the other one one of these missing out just a minute tell you about the bankers' bonuses already a topic of frustration at every station well that's set to almost double i am managing directors at bags in london all set for a forty four percent rise aid bios's at least that's according to financial recruitment fund ask three miles down advice if we rewind back to barbara you remember the day you set out to control by expenses but you can't challenge this i mean she had to be implemented it is now one who is always brutally frank about his views on this particular topic yes i'm talking about the one and i have a max car the from the cars report he's joining me from london though so monk's despite all the attempts to rein in his bonuses i seem to be getting even bigger what is going on right now. what we've seen the past ten years or so innovation in central banking came in under and ankie used to be when the fed

printed lots of money you'd see prices of wages consumer items and assets go up in value but under bernanke he there's been an innovation in central banking where they print money and they put it directly into the pockets of bankers so wages don't go up so it's a beautiful new world where the central banks simply hand over billions of dollars to their cronies in the banking system and wages never go up so this is the new world order i want all of you is christmas and all of that if you have to buy your favorite banker jamie diamond a christmas present this year what would it be why i think if i could give jamie diamond a present for christmas it would be syphilis so that he could experience firsthand what everyone around the world experiences with his day to day banking terrorism what about don't believe that what we get from may. well for george osborne my first choice would be maybe a little polonium two ten but maybe not bad aggressive something along the lines of

. some form of walk from a fog off farm in france to kind of personify what's happening to the world banks are being stuffed with all this cheap cash and in the end are going to be harvested and his liver along with a bunch of ducks will be exempt taken out and sold on the open market right. at the j.p. morgan christmas party entertainment what would you do. for the curse of party entertainment of j.p. morgan that's a good question i guess we have to hire some. of the cast of the soprano's to come in and reenact some of the famous scenes there where several people got a whacked i think that be very entertaining you could say been put on paper of you i think is a fantastic way to extend the brand of j.p. morgan j.p. morgan most of soprano's bankers get gunned down while you're cheering on the likes

of tony soprano this is a great cross media opportunity even hired as the seth full they christmas party for they. were going to cook up. oh well i'm going to stick to. my think for christmas dinner for the banks there's again he have to give them a visual reference of what happens when a ducks like them are plucking the world economy their livers get extended in fat to the point where they must be harvested so twenty fourteen over the year that the world harvest the banker's liver they take all that money that's been stuffed down their gullit and they break it up like a pin yada and all that money is distributed to those who have been screwed and plucked in abuses by these horrible banks or so twenty fourteen is the year of the banker pin yada everyone should get a big stick and prepare themselves for this i got a lot of talking to about what's going to be inside those christmas crackers on the den a table. on the christmas crackers i think we're going to find many

bitcoin because the bitcoin is going to be the gift that keeps on giving for twenty fourteen i myself purchased this lovely jacket from baker and soho using. and this is a this is a roving phenomenon across the city of london merchants are realizing there's a big coin or bust you don't want to do business with the banks are big coin is the future now i think and what was going to be dressing up as a christmas cake. the christmas turkey this year on battle has got to be tony blair he likes getting naked he likes dressing up in strength bikini's he likes parading around the ship flashing his moves these male breasts that hang down and he going to do this in the public i think he'd make a perfect christmas turkey he loves the being stuffed from the bankers from behind that he's a guy that looks great on a plate nice. thing to write to open it to people you've got to do a baby. because the don't cate. well this year so to me is quite

i think obvious the baby jesus is personified by nakamoto and bitcoin i think that's pretty obvious then the angel would be my co-host a servant of the cars. that makes the show special and then the donkey unquestionably would have to be reaching back into the past gordon brown makes a perfect he's the guy who sold half of britain's gold supply at the absolute multi decade low so he's really the arse of the century thank you so much for that in saw i have yourself a brilliant christmas my pleasure see you next year see you next. now let's get some christmas corporate news good things that propositions will this is i want really old things in the stocking yeah that's right according to russian online and monitor. goes to the best summits this year the most amount of things books doles

silver dishes and christmas tree decorations in the last three weeks alone more than five thousand items in cells. in christmas time is all about something friendship so much as energy giant rough draft in the u.s. made my volt hot completed the creation of a joint venture that will spend up to three hundred million dollars on developing. western siberia and ross that will have access to excellence projects in the gulf of mexico in the last. i don't know that a jew was a festive spirit though brushes that gasp all over the amount to spend on investments next year by more than twenty percent the gas giants twenty fourteen investment program will be more than a full point three billion dollars down from the amount spent to shift now the idea of christmas shopping other little restive high street is often much nicer than the reality of crazy crowds and miscues and stressful traffic jobs now this is exactly

why online shopping is now a big band ever so shops are getting creative coming up with ways to make the trip worthwhile and now the e-commerce is taking russia by storm department store attractions are getting bigger and better as i found out. that seemed. like they know what it really was and that is something i thought that maybe completely blown up when it take the low end of russell down that was maybe was it was like maybe we thought this was going to drop very low inflation may blow away from that they're not happy. with that being the driving down. the various thing it was so i mean they are the one of the things that kept up with talking fun was that you may love to quote shout out. ok i'm going at it right bob. but while this all looks like great fun when it comes

to e-commerce well it's a force to be reckoned with here in russia there are sixty million internet users also most in europe and that's why international companies like e bay and amazon they're looking at tapping into the market next is always already launched their online store and as we talk about money well this is the interesting part because by twenty eight forty russians what we spend thirty one billion dollars online by twenty fifteen that number will go up to almost. forty billion dollars now the reason why these numbers a coin going so fast is because russians are changing their attitude to buying online whereas in the past they've always liked to pay fighting for in cash now they're getting more comfortable with using their credit cards so you could say that the tide is changing. now talking of shipping one of the reasons why russians have typically steered away from internet shopping is because post of russia is notoriously bad for delivering sometimes this part of the process here the price of

us could be the most annoying part because people can wait months on end for a parcel in the us if it ever arrives at all now post of russia they are getting better and they vow to improve the situation they're going to do so in a liberal right of ways including being more innovative being less they dependent as well as improving their online services as well and all of this is to become more profitable in the long run they've just introduced an app which you can use on apple and android as well so you can track your parcel which is a brit way of getting to the way. oh you bet. on the parcels along with the pressure is piling up because fifty percent more piles are making their way to russia their shares and. sons elza hard work out this year present reason is going to bar humbug on corporate christmas party plans and a sleep study this month which is the employees of state corporations should pay for their own office parties rather than using company funds. finally just

a montage of tim turvy in here for my opinion and why you should care tim knows the art is in a person's heart is what is going on i'm going to you know you tell me really disappointed because you know what corporation rush are the biggest corporate for a. lot of the other here you know what should we should worship games are too great to maybe would be good to put that money in the pockets of the employees but there should be greater opinion my opinion is i'm a party girl and i was thinking. champagne caviar i was thinking it was all going to go on i'm obviously disappointed although we don't have strippers sure people can have your photo but you better never could remove the old t.v. you were too young. yes the buy very little plastic tree and believe whatever. you got to so this is of course a fun thing we will policy no matter what putin says this is all for special events capital we will see you know it's on have a merry christmas and take care of yourself.

martin's consumer of the season i see it with me in the country is the federal government to simply say this property will be made if these governments. want this the united states numbered image and it was done in public has to realize you can't just buy. your own just throw it away this is a problem for instance belongs to the united states environmental protection agency i found this on a dump site here this is their computer it's not wasted luminal it produces the bees and that's what i think should be able to look at these i believe the vision responsible for the problems from cradle to grave. fatal from mexico comment of mental health from patil south american corporate are also belongs to the washington metro transit authority properties of big ben estates pay trend and

trademark office. had doubts he wasn't like the easiest person to negotiate ways i mean many people who've met him or even those who knew him briefly all say that he wasn't completely sane what was he like when you were talking to him and negotiating with him about the lives of these people you know he was very he was very. how can i say maybe on the drugs or medicine. but she was listening maybe it wasn't the right place at the right moments. or. or or. or.

or. or. this is our international life on sirius could say they want an independent seat at next month's international peace conference in geneva they say their interests are in opposition to both the syrian government and the rebels and other kurds are pushing for autonomy in northern syria where they've been fighting to protect their homes from radical islamist rebels the kurds are the largest ethnic group without a country in the middle east and are mostly spread out across the region they call kurdistan they make up key minority groups in turkey syria iraq and iran with

a total population of around forty million and reports they have their sights firmly set on a long awaited independence. discriminated repressed and divided for years the kurds were the scapegoats of the middle east but now the fortunes have turned resilient and hopeful history is on their side for four thousand years kurds lived in iraq now they are going to affect autonomy and many believe independence is not far away but is now practical is not run by a powerful state in baghdad and strongly believe that we are moving towards. a full independent kurdish state in the north of here across the border in turkey as much as twenty percent of the population is kurdish they fight for independence has long been a thorn in ankara side but us of a larger longer. always called for a kurd fighters they have more weapons and they'll never give them up easily but

it's in syria where the kurds face the toughest fight they're caught up in the middle of a bloody civil war their territories are being trained by al qaeda or villagers raided their people killed residents of this kurdish villagers pursue fina forty five kilometers from aleppo they all it does is make them tougher fight as they're prepared to die to protect their land and their people. now every night they want to restart the clashes but now we're well prepared because we made new bunkers so we have more abilities than before if they attack us we are ready to defend ourselves but if they don't we want to attack anybody. with such a strong fighting spirit and even stronger desire for sovereignty the kurdish influence in this part of the world is growing and arguably it might be only a matter of time until a new state appears on the map of the middle east policy or r.t. . the syrian government's been too busy with the civil war leaving the kurds to

fend for themselves and one analyst told us the desperate has capitalized on the power struggle to the fullest. the kurds in syria was a bold and by the fact that the arab spring came about of the regional powers busy with internal strife with. the stability of their own government while the sunni arabs of the different factions syria are fighting each other and the governments we could. the kurds have found an opportunity to run the ground to whatever they were territory or historically and right to take he's not very happy because what he sees if the. the kurds in syria get hold of him have some sort of autonomy turkey fears that this will translate into or encourage a. kurdish population to demand the same rights or similar rights.

he's not a killer or a terrorist but he's being held in conditions worse than if he was online activist an alleged hacker got fried homeguard was one of the founders of the pirate bay he's engulfed in a complex legal battle accused by denmark of stealing millions of personal i.d. numbers well the file sharing website first came under fire back in two thousand and six when it got on the wrong side of hollywood it was taken down for several days when swedish police raided its headquarters several years later its founders were charged and eventually sentenced to a year in prison for encouraging copyright violations and in this week r.t. spoke to home lawyer who told us that a client is treated much worse than is warranted by the charges against him. it's got a little bit better since we talked the last time he's been moved to a different facility. to be honest the first facility the first prison it couldn't

really get anywhere else and that so now he's in a different facility and he's been allowed to. be with another inmate to talk to another inmate two hours per week but it's still not good yes allowed to go outside as well in one hour every day. and during that hour he would you know. want to talk to other inmates he's certainly not good at giving given the conditions that other in the same case would be given leave very cautious about this case they don't really want anything to go wrong because it's a very sensitive sensitive case in denmark. the they did their duty and were repaid with sickness servicemen with the royal air force were tasked with carrying out nuclear tests and self australia at the height of the cold war and have suffered ever since and this artist has a silly and i reports calls for the u.k. government to compensate them a getting louder jeff lydia was seventeen when he joined the royal air force and

was eventually posted to mary lincoln in south australia nuclear tests were carried out there in the fifty's with some publicity but minor trials reportedly continued in secrecy until the my nine hundred sixty s. run through me. we knew every hour for every fortnight aircraft flew in with a nuclear flask in which we are loaded onto a lorry and it was taken away by the scientists. we didn't know what they were doing with what he termed fifty illnesses he believes were caused by his exposure to radiation that matter linga started manifesting i started off with i had tb i then started having degeneration of my spine my daughter has gone pancreatic condition which can only be of traced back to genetic source so i have the question in my mind was it many was it because i was there and

many others are asking the same questions even before world war two radiation was a hazard the problem really is measuring it in a meaningful way very very difficult indeed nevertheless there is undoubtedly i think tradition among the british authorities not to own up to any responsibility these people were experimented on quite honestly and it was disgraceful how those soldiers were created and they've long been asking the government for recognition and compensation their service is part of history of war your lies future generations will not forget but for those who would actually serve the forgetting is not an option especially for those who feel that a decision they made decades ago may have cast a shadow on their lives and those of their loved ones if you look out of the country's nuclear countries a treaty that veterans and compensate them and recognize them and we stand right at

the bottom of the table that is wrong france the united states and even the tiny aisle of men have already done so with the ministry of defense maintains that while there is a quote huge debt of gratitude owed to the veterans the government rejects any link between veterans' health problems and their military service citing a two thousand and ten health needs audit. overall the rage and severity of problems reported was typical of older people in the u.k. general and a veteran who believes they have suffered ill health to just service has the right to apply for a no fault compensation jeff knows the clock is ticking and while he's hopeful he has no illusions about how difficult the fight will be at the very least what he wants is this study found that we need. the money we'll need to say thank you we are low it goes so we don't exist does or sylvia our t. loved it we'll be back with

a full news roundup for in about seven minutes from now this is the international. i. don't understand you correctly that you don't believe that ad what snowden performed a public service may be in the best interest of the united states but at least in the best interest of humanity here countries don't want to turn over their play book to the other side and that's essentially what's happened here it is true that it is heard a big debate about the role of our intelligence services in the united states i

think that debate was coming anyway after nine eleven but i don't think we've had sort of anything in the interest of humanity served by this step. it looks like. we're going to go digital the price is the only industry specifically mentioned in the constitution and. that's because a free and open process is critical to our democracy which albus. role. in fact the single biggest threat facing our nation today is the corporate takeover of our government and across several we've been hijacked why a handful of transnational corporations will profit by destroying what our founding fathers once built up i'm tom hartman and on this show we reveal the big picture of what's actually going on in the world we go beyond identifying the problem trucks

and rational debate and a real discussion critical issues facing america if i ever go ready to join the movement then walk a little bit. well told me my language at all but i will only react to situations as i have read the reports but i'm likely to push the know i will leave them to the state department to comment on your latter point of the month to say it is mr kerry you have a car is on the docket no god. no radio no more weasel words when you fade a direct question are you prepared for a change when you throw a punch be ready for a bad. freedom of speech and let on down to freedom to crush.
