this. we are apparently better than. the sea people you've never heard of. jack to the. president of the world bank very. seriously send us an e-mail. thousands rally in madrid and barcelona are vowing to keep spain unified after the parliament declared independence. also the. twitter to disclose personal messages in accounts held by wiki leaks social networks lawyers are set to testify in congress on alleged russian meddling in the u.s. election. bribery racketeering and fraud a drug company boss faces charges for allegedly getting doctors to overprescribe highly addictive painkillers some of them fifty times stronger than heroin.

a live from moscow with me. now in the russian capital thanks for joining us. we start in barcelona activists on motorcycles and cars have paraded through the city center wearing spanish and catalan flags the pro unity rallies being held the day after the castle and parliament voted to declare the region's independence from spain. after the castle and parliament voted for independence the spanish government ordered to sack the region's leadership and replace them with officials from madrid in response a pro independent syndicate has called for

a ten day general strike starting on monday show devinsky has been following events in the catalan capital. round one hundred fifty motorcycles and cause have been holding this true you seen valley across barcelona shooting their horns and the idea is that they going around showing support for the spanish national place who has been in catalonia in the wasilla and for the last week since that referendum was held on october first it was also a unity rally in the street with people marching their ad wanting catalonia that they want to remain with the spain however he emboss alone there is of course many people who are supporting that declaration yesterday from the council on parliament of independence and many people very unhappy with the measures that madrid has taken since that declaration that saf the senate is in madrid passed article one fifty five the unprecedented part of the spanish constitution which until now had

never been used before in almost forty years which essentially history catalan all that sort of harmony it's it dissolved the parliament it's removed the president from office and it's also removed some of the top police offices in the police force in the catalonia and many people in the streets of boston and telling me that they are unhappy with madrid take a listen to what they were saying. they are guarding our liberty or freedom we are just so angry we feel like a country we feel like we are representing our our government we need to be free is what the our population wants i think. people you specifically. we have it clear that we are a nation and. we will go when people is trying just to explain their opinions and someone is trying to punish bad

and trying to use the violence to stop that. is both human being i feel kind of scared. there are also people here in barcelona and elsewhere in catalonia who support those actions of madrid however one of those is certainly not i now as we can describe the former president of gotten your colors he made a brief statement earlier today decrying that action from madrid take a listen to what he said. bendish ministers agreed to depose the catalan government intervene in our self rule and dissolve the parliament these are decisions that contradict the will of the citizens of our country to express at the ballot box in a democratic society it is the parliamentarians that elect or deposed a president well the reality is that nobody knows exactly what the future and now holds immediately before to catalonia the true independence members of parliament want to push through with creating republic on the stand that they are trying to

draft a document which they will release in the next forty eight hours of which they will describe how they will look to secede from spain in the meantime madrid says it's taking full control of catalonia and it intends for it to stay that way it's also declared that they will be elections held on december twenty first of this year we have no indication yet whether the pro independence and peace and that alone will actually support all decide to not take part in those elections but for the moment it's very murky the reality is that it is not yet clear what the future is for catalonia whether it will remain with spain or whether it will become an independent republic. of the chief economist trust this investment by nor cal thinks that economic difficulties will limit the region's ability to resist pressure from madrid. there's very little that they can do prominently because by now i think we have seen that there's more than fifty countries all of the european union to recognize this call for independence the point that he might be trying

to get to is is not a good one for the catalan economy which is already suffering which is basically two to block or to generate further economic problems in a region that has already seen more than one thousand seven hundred companies move their headquarters out of the region the problem right now is that there is no no room for negotiation because it's either secession or nothing and that makes it very very complicated. the spanish government got support from bureau be in institutions with the un and nato also joining them the same with the countries most e.u. states as well as the u.s. australia and several latin american countries called for spanish unity some stress that they would never recognize an independent catalonia compared to that list of those not blessing because it only has independence looks

a little bit short belgium sweden finland to call for dollar which in barcelona and madrid russia stressed that the matter was completely internal affair and then finally there was support from scotland they said the catalans should be free to determine their own future we spoke to ukraine dependence party m.e.p. david coburn he believes the push for independence thems from the loss of power to brussels. i know but from chatting with present you i spoke with a couple of weeks ago the the european union have no intention of interfering in spanish affairs internal affairs i think they've now got the idea with the problems though taking part in spain that maybe is for a good idea of the actually key posts of internal affairs of the various countries because it's just a farce to many other countries in europe who have problems with the central administration spain doesn't govern itself anymore is governed by the european union decisions are no longer made in madrid they're made in brussels maybe this is

the european union has brought this to a head and it's not just. the same brain problems with the boxee of the front of the the floodwalls in belgium various parts of europe there are problems people want to secede because people don't want to be ruled by faceless bureaucracy in brussels they want to make their own decisions locally and then have a national government as well catalonia as the richest well the rich of pots of spades so they are that's why they're feeling very upset and what's not international will be keeping a close eye on developments in spain throughout the night for. i. ok over to the states now where a senior senator is the mining twitter disclose his account details relating to wiki leaks and its founder julian assange and also released direct messages

conversations and feinstein listed her demands in a letter to twitter's founder and c.e.o. jack dorsey it's a pretty big list that's just take a look at some of the demands now among them she wants to know whether twitter has identified the accounts linked to the alleged russia u.s. election probe and also its methods of doing so of course gets a mention as well our twitter accounts are also under heavy suspicion as well as for wiki leaks of course here's a list of some of the accounts linked to that other senator thinks their private methods history could prove vital to the ongoing investigation in the future is clearly more pin takes a look at the story. feinstein the u.s. senator from california is requesting that the direct messages on twitter sent by wiki leaks be turned over and given to the congress for their investigation you know they're asking for the direct messages of wiki leaks the direct messages of

julian a songe as well as the direct messages of the hacker known as good for to who is reported to have been the person who turned over the e-mails of the democratic national committee to to wiki leaks now it's important to note that dianne feinstein who's requesting these direct messages on behalf of congress that she is certainly no fan of julian aside this is what she said about julian assange in the past well mr sun just one of my most unfavorite people in the world and i believe he's done a great discredit to this nation now dianne feinstein is not the only figure within the us political establishment who has voiced opposition and hatred for julian assad and many figures within the u.s. government many senators congressmen leaders of the military have spoken of julian a songe accused him of being a russian agent called for prosecution of julian assad called for wiki leaks to be shut down this is a widespread sentiment in washington d.c.

i mean he's a tool of russian intelligence and if he's such a you know martyr of free speech why doesn't wiki leaks ever publish anything coming out of russia you should be treated as an enemy combatant we should be closed down permanently and decides we wiki leaks walks like a hostile intelligence service and talks like a hostile intelligence service often abetted by state actors like russia ignorance or misplaced idealism is no longer an acceptable excuse for lionizing these demons saunters a narcissist who has created nothing of value here lies on the dirty work of others to make himself famous he's a fraud a coward hiding behind a screen disguise a traitor a treasonous and i'm not for the death penalty so if i'm not for the death penalty i want to do it. illegally shoot the son of a as we know on november first the owners of twitter will be testifying before the u.s. congress and this is all part of the investigation of alleged russian meddling in the us presidential elections in twenty sixteen and now we see this additional

requests to being given to twitter just a few days before they're set to testify so one wonders is any new information going to be determined from these direct messages or is this the government of the united states in particular the congressional committee putting additional pressure on twitter in the lead up to their testimony investigative journalist dave lindorff believes the senate his request validates free speech there is no indication that wiki leaks is a tool of russia wiki leaks has been major source for american journalism and british journalism for a long time but now feinstein's trying to imply that we cue leaks is somehow in league with this alleged russian effort to swing the election in the united states in two thousand and sixteen even if you took the worst case scenario and you said that russia was behind an effort to get people's perspectives about one candidate

or the another in the election that is not a crime so to demand that is private communications on twitter when there isn't any criminality being even alleged is over the top and a terrible threat to first amendment rights in the united states. stay with us the billionaire founder of a u.s. drug company faces serious charges off to allegedly broadening doctors to prescribe addictive opioid based medicine of more details for you after the break. with manufactured. public wealth. when the ruling class is protect themselves. with the fine.

and for victims to receive support also encouraging people to come forward if they've been affected britain spy cops operated officially from nine hundred fifty nine until two thousand and eight officers infiltrated different groups from trade unions to environmental groups some even deceived women into entering relationships with them to win their trust while working undercover. london's metropolitan police has apologized and paid compensation for their officers wrongdoing the activists fear such practices still continue and want more transparency. what they haven't got yet is any information at all not one single scrap of detail about why these people were targeting them why they had their life simple trade to this extent and why they found themselves sometimes in an intimate relationship with somebody who was being paid to spy on them the reason i feel the forty's so to spoil in the west in general is because they consider the left

a threat to. proportionally. against national security we don't actually know whether they still live for treating him but if they continue to do that and of course there is now the digital spy the. there's the digital spy. eavesdropping the big data stuff so david you may say that they maybe don't need it anymore but i do seem to still do. so over to the u.s. where a billionaire pharmaceutical company founder faces serious charges over claims that powerful medicines were being mis prescribed to boost sales john kapoor is charged with bribery racketeering and fraud for his alleged role in persuading doctors to hand out an opioid painkiller called subsidies.

the medicine is seen as a breakthrough in treating cancer pain it's designed for patients in the advanced stages of the disease but like any strong medicine there are risks it comes with warnings that can cause addiction fatal heart conditions or react badly with other medicines in extreme cases an overdose can be fatal or painkillers a main component is called fentanyl. one hundred times stronger morphine only that it's also ten times their lives in heroin that's according to the new hampshire forensic police lab just three milligrams is enough for a fatal overdose if used properly of course it's undoubtedly a pain relief for many cancer patients who have a one form a company employee decided to blow the whistle after it was given to people who didn't need it and knew there was something going on there and started doing some research i realized that i wasn't there to help people that i was actually hurting

people or medical workers have leaked similar stories in the past so it's rare that those implicated at the very top of major drug companies face any consequences john kapoor's lawyer however says his client vigorously denies any involvement white house spokesman believes that such abuse is widespread in the industry. this is vast it is a vast conspiracy in each company the same as it tobacco lobby did for so many years and got away with it it's not a matter of regulations it's a matter of and force mint and the lack of will for enforcement they have let these companies and the doctors who illegally prescribe the drugs that are supposed to be just for severe cancer and they get everybody else addicted it's not even just a matter the of the suffering because some of the addicted people like getting high it's a matter of it's illegal and dangerous what they're doing and yes there isn't force

a goal food deal when you get but susie orbach thinks it will be out funny that you but his gesture was marred by an unfortunate gaffe although some members of the jewish community appreciated the move it seems not all that convinced as the grief brought by the lads here boss to all of the holocaust victims was reportedly found floating in the river tiber hours later as for the last c.e.o. ultras they didn't seem to understand what the fuss was about. it was a joke it's not a crime to harangue an adversary than accusing him of belonging to another religion . let's try to get the idea across by using the imagery of anne frank on the team's training t. shirts and reading out passages from the diary of the holocaust victim before matches but the ultras found a way to wreck the team's reputation once again. police now say they'll consider stricter punishment if more incidents like this take place

in the future. our young man from a provincial city in western russia is showing the wild of rock and pop that when you need to look cool and sound great there's only one thing you need and that's a russian made microphone then of course never looks into the store. from coldplay to radio hatch and sharon manda you can see this or retro style microphone and old there are videos that if you know the mikes they see our own hand-crafted and the russian says you have to like two hundred kilometers from moscow by a company founded by two friends all. but you for the creation of this company i worked for a large western company and i liked it but i always dreamt about something else something more interesting and i wanted to work for myself pyle got his break back in two thousand and thirteen when he met david brown from the group brazzaville. i organized his concert here into work it was the first one i organized on the way to

the gig we had a long conversation and we discussed at the u.s. and russia that both countries have a lot to offer each other we thought it would be really exciting to combine these two worlds to get something cool out of it this is how so use microform was born i personally feel that there's a new drop here and i think the potential is that because there are certain skill sets and certain resources available there that are fantastic the business that they share today makes five trips of microphone and sells them around the world title says their biggest market is the u.s. but it hasn't all been plain the same problem we are awful but we had problems at almost every turn the most difficult task was sexually get the business off the ground how to sell it to investors to future customers how to prove that it is an interesting product we were looking to investment funds but no one wanted to finance our idea step by step we let the world know about us well and so our

microphones to different music producers and they like them they now employed twelve close family friends and when radio had a recording engineer placed an order had held deliver it himself. nigel godrich from radio have to. move our microphones ahead and open you keep these are so i put them in my hand luggage very carefully and went to the airport nigel was very pleased indeed it was my first sale and it still remains my dearest title sas he doesn't want to move on the contrary he wants to develop his hometown and make it a world famous yourself you know. i'm from to work i was born here i want money from the u.s. to come here and not elsewhere like moscow or st petersburg i want the economy of this region to grow and i'm happy that i can be a part of it might you know question r.t. to access them with us here on our teeth and see war stories on our website r.t.
