taken place i know you've got some of the demonstrators have left the park and they're marching out onto the streets of london peaceful demonstration today. there would be no peace is that the best way to fight new naziism violently while i'm sure sure prejudged words are the only way to far north is to further not to stand and say we don't like you know don't like you there no we don't like that you know thing that's the danger of provoking move. provoking move either for you to be violent in office about time the discourse interaction which is the reaction to an auction record of the peace nazis last month we were there were british nazis polish northeast of the john you're nazis we don't do it for national list and no received no first use then just of course because look what happens when it gets out of control people distort the bullet or destroy and say that's what today's protest is about the last technically allowed to be on the streets here marching like this police say at this point it's actually going to be more hassle to break

politicians are directing their anger not to the bankers and the rich executions of europe that led to the economic crisis but to look vulnerable in society those on welfare those in employ those who are migrants those who are elderly and other minority communities and this is an extraordinarily dangerous sign. and reserve for grass misses term as nature achieved maybe almost up to but now questions are being asked about how he got the job in the first place freshly in the spotlight weiqi leaks documents suggest arrests within the abuses powers as prime minister to guarantee himself his future job specifically denmark reportedly agreed to stud legal action against a kurdish separatist channel that was all costing from copenhagen in two thousand and nine in return turkey said it would backrest misson as the future nato chief so why was turkey worried about these broadcasts well let's take a look here ankara long claimed raj t v well the mouthpiece for the kurdistan

workers party which fights for the rights of the kurdish minority and is considered a terrorist organization in turkey and in the west the channel started broadcasting in two thousand and four and in two thousand and ten it was officially accused in denmark of promoting terrorist activities and the cia other channels license was finally reverting to we spoke to their lawyer take a listen. we have a special independent committee or terribly should be denmark which would issue the certificates to the turks the turkish government had at three different occasions complained to this committee and each time they concluded that the coverage was just like the coverage she would fired at the big d. students television stations so we thought that also the courts. would respect the freedom of expression the freedom of press the freedom of

information but it did occur. now we often a to comment on the leaks about the deal to appoint or ethnicity in their press office told us to talk to danish judicial authority this isn't that the courts were forty independent of a generalist lawyer and former m.p. beyond almqvist questions that claim there were some conflicts of political character between the bar and turkey. states intervened because say like very broad stroke they describe it is to become the six zero there was a big pressure from u.s. forces and says to think. the creative bad are how to a diet how to prove that rusts elevation was promoting terrorism bred in the end they died but what there was there within hours after

that it died when it was announced that there wasn't rebid between the turkish government and the other base who causes to decide the previous stage probably did as a second surgery or kurdish activists the dillard degree tells us that when it comes to turkey minority rights are the least of europe's concerns. i think the kurdish issue is one of the most on result issues of the century and this war between the p.k. k. and turkey benefits civil institutions and countries so on the one hand while the west close the eyes to human rights violations in turkey and actively contributed to these human rights violations by either providing military or intelligence on the other hand the kurds the kurdish in europe was completely criminalized and we see the similar thing happening with kurds in syria for example even though the people have established. very progressive self governance structures in the north

of syria. and online that now at r t dot com christian also told activists threw eggs and holy water members of mel inman's rock band ahead of a concert in moscow the gig never took place however due to a bomb threat all the details of the story of a level for you online also while you're clicking away their. life changing development take knowledge ease approved in the u.s. to help those paralyzed take huge steps towards walking again and find out all the details about this new robotic suit and much more on our t.v. dot com. the bankrupt view a city of detroit is on the brink of a water crisis thousands of people they have been left with no surprise at all now the authorities say they only tack to the city's budget from unpaid bills the

situation for several activist group to demand the united nations step in and help now the u.n. looked into the magic and said of the shuttle a violation of human rights and close inspection reveals it's not just the hard hit not paying their bills but some corporations are tens of millions of dollars in the red as well but there's little pressure being put on them marches megan lopez as more. it is one of the most essential elements of life. americans enjoy some of the cleanest and most abundant water in the world but what happens when the pipes are turned off and the tap runs dry how am i supposed to wash my child while my supposed to shower must fill in the largest american city to ever filed for bankruptcy residents are falling behind on their water bills now facing five billion dollars in bad debt the water department is taking drastic measures to plug

holes and that means cutting water this is one of those houses that has had its water shut off and you can tell that because the detroit water and sewer department went ahead and painted on the porch that water cut time now they've been doing this more and more frequently to abandoned houses and they are they say going after abandoned houses first in order to kind of avoid it wasting water for houses that people simply don't live in however more often these days the house is facing shut off have residents living inside this is the detroit water brigade headquarters groups like the way fun in the detroit water brigade are working with residents to get on the water they need in the short term and the funding in the long term to sustain themselves we have donations the water people have say we also have water filtration devices as well as aqua tablets so that people could you know get access to clean drinking water these groups are now calling for help from the federal

government and even the united nations to address what they describe as a humanitarian crisis nikita rally is one detroit resident who is afraid of the consequences of missing even a single payment if you tell someone i don't have water in my home that's the first strike you can get your children removed or you go to the war department if they help get my children back they don't care don't just days and she isn't alone no you're shutting out all the water all the most voted for. first which now raises a human rights question it raises a moral people do want to water scuttle out of the take their medicine if you see the shot of they make the formula for the babies however the water department argues we have the burden of being heavy to be realistic in a lot of folks the activists for example don't have that they have what they feel are simple solutions. which really don't really hold water if anybody can come up with a way that we can make the detroit drinking water is good as it is right now for

pennies on the dollar was going to listen unfortunately this is not the case leaving some residents salivating for a solution to this water crisis and others just plain thirsty reporting in detroit michigan meghan lopez r.t. . and the plight of thousands of enjoyed residents is also the focus of every month breaking with it coming up in a few minutes. death row inmates in oklahoma protesting against the use of lethal injections to execute them now they say it's as keen to experimenting on humans now their lawsuit filed against the state follows the bungled execution of oklahoma inmate clayton lockett in april he died of a heart attack forty three minutes after being injected and doctors had burst of vein in his body while administering a controversial cocktail of drugs there was a similar incident back in

a generation ohio when maid was reportedly in convulsions for about twenty six minutes now both cases concerns a way raised that doctors use previously untested drugs. now since activism with a human face on every mountain is breaking the said well why u.k. view i think. some people say freedom isn't free and they're right in fact freedom it only cost the price of a bottle of water or an old t. shirt fans celebrating the recent victory of the l.a. kings noticed that they were not alone what was believed to be a police drone was flying over them filming them i thought of moral contempt for drones or just for the hell of it the crowd began to throw random objects at it until it was brought down i think this event makes two very big points firstly a lot of the surveillance state is not that hard to stop i mean there are satellite

photos being taken of us all the time and n.s.a. spying on a communications but any camera or other device been throwing distance of a brick is at the mercy of us the ninety nine percent and secondly generally if a crowd of people does something few ever get punished i mean if this drone was actually a police drone would they try to lock up the entire crowd for breaking it no they wouldn't and they couldn't for some reason if one person commits an act of civil disobedience they are in ford but if a crowd does that they generally get away with it so if you're going to defend your right to privacy from drones bring fifty guys with you and everything will work out just fine but that's just my opinion. for ever new should to go straight from being a violent outside of the existing order to being a well run from all proceeds is impossible it just won't happen because the acts of the revolution is so violent that there are the off the shocks

a so great that there is a period of chaos. choose your language. we kill it oh in federal court today still some of. the consents to. choose the opinions that degrade to. choose the stories that in time life choose me access to often. what's poppin everyone i'm not a martin and this is breaking the set so today the u.s. announced that it plans on reducing its stockpile of anti-personnel land mines with the goal of venture eliminating that.
