to make sure that the banks had enough funding and as of today the news came out that the second round of long term financing that the e.c.b. will be making it will be making available to the banks in a few weeks time will even be much larger than the initial amount so probably the verdict is not the i doubt but probably this is a now and direct way in which the european central bank will be financing sovereign dept of countries in problem this process can go on for a long time but the longer you go into this process the more risks you start to take and the more you may jeopardize. the stability of the european central bank and hence also the stability of the euro zone economy and all the people who are watching this closely are asking. will germany accept this road that this road is traveled by the european central bank or will there come a moment which can be in weeks but which can also be many months ahead of us where

the germans say this is enough we can go on or indeed there is there are very many say that how much longer can germany agree to shoulder so much of the burden of the of the eurozone i must have i never thought i wish we had more time the author of the book the end of the year i thanks so much for coming on. occupy protesters have stood up to the authorities in washington d.c. refusing to remove their camps from two parks despite threats of police action activists though are still preparing to resist with officers standing at the ready nearby and as artie's liz while explains occupiers still remain united in their beliefs. so we are here at macpherson square where protesters have been occupying the park since october they were out the demonstration about one hundred tents have been pitched here the national park service has repeatedly slapped these notices on tents here macpherson square informing protesters that they can no

longer camp out here that means they have to get rid of sleeping bags and any other material which allows them to live here protesters are responding by painting that symbol on the notice which demonstrates the fact that they do not agree with this mandate their tents can stay but their doors must remain open proving no one is living in it the notice warns protesters that violate the rule are subject to arrest and it's basically a symbol of opposition. to you know what everything this movement is opposing right now and so i think the tents are really important part of what you buy but police presence was sparse with no reported arrests they stand mostly on the sidelines refusing to answer questions from the media or with what but occupiers made their message loud and clear they are not giving up the fight here as you can see protesters have erected a massive pad over the statue here at macpherson park it's all in demonstration to

the anticipated even action by park oh yes this is our tents of dreams we want to be able to sleep here so we can dream of a better world where everyone has access to health care education housing and where the rich from corporations and banks no longer have control over political system the federal government and the political leaders in wall street were all tone deaf they could not hear this so the occupy movement has offered them a hearing aid and they're getting our message loud and clear now the purpose of this was to unite us in this space so if they want to arrest one of us after arrest all of us or not of us and washington. liz wahl r.t. . right before we go to a business with dmitri first this was ground where missiles and drones britain is not gearing up for war rather at london's summer olympics preparations are calling on all corners of the nation's defenses but as artie's of

a bend it reports many fear the measures will pose serious risks to your privacy. spectators may know who they're watching at the olympics but they won't know who's watching them surveillance drones like this could be circling the skies of london this summer police may use the spy cameras in their lympics anti terror tactics it'll leave no hiding place the drones can make out a car's number plate from heights of up to one kilometer privacy campaigners fear is the start of a slippery slope i think it be our salute tragedy for britain the largest part of the olympic legacy was a surveillance like to see where we had store all this equipment in the name of national security and then when the other books are over we keep using it the spy in the skies been piloted before in britain by four police forces but never took off after one crashed into a river and the u.k. aviation authority failed to grant the necessary license that's the only legal

requirement before this sort of surveillance becomes a reality at the olympics a minor hurdle for what's already britain's biggest peacetime security operation total cost over one point six billion dollars it is worrying that the security bill has increased so drastically from initial estimates one of the reasons being given for this is so heightened risk of terrorism which seems incredible as an excuse at a time when the original estimates were made around the time of the london bombings when london was considered to be a very high risk give you an idea of the numbers take the olympic stadium capacity eighty thousand ground security at the games is enough to fill sixty percent of that inside the venue will be over twenty three thousand security guards along with seven and a half thousand military personnel and then outside a further six thousand troops along with twelve thousand police total just shy of

fifty thousand but that still couldn't stop two fake bombs being sneaked in under the radar at the stadiums. dummy runs not exactly great value for money london organizers have tried to play down fees the olympic village will be a siege city but with such a massive security operation the planned a limb pick legacy of international friendship may not be the one that's actually left either bennett r.t. london. a reminder of our top stories with me rory sushi just a few minutes away before that dimitri and oppressed us. welcome to business mark twain famously said buy land they're not making it any more well wise advice in uncertain economic times although what the great often thought about commercial property his degree does not relate price waterhouse coopers on the other hand thinks moscow is

a good bet the order to says the capital has joined a club of the dozen european cities with the most interesting commercial real estate opportunities to discuss the issue i'm joined by real estate leader peter we see russia holger welcome welcome to the program thank you so much for being with us so why is moscow up and running. good afternoon beauty good to be here and i think in the research very interesting to see that moscow is just one place lower than they were just before but are there different reasons london and syria are safe bets and in these difficult times people like to go there moscow on the other side. is still rather cheap by international common. standards but there's a lot of potential and i think the risk is already. it's lower than it was in the u.s. before and this was one of the main reasons that russia has made it up now in the top ten of european cities what are we exactly talking about we're talking about office space. but i think there is in general interest on the altar of state in sco

but in the in focus mainly on retail but but all other types of interesting attractive as well. well if you think about russia you think about the size of the country obviously there's no shortage of land over here doesn't that kind of limit the price rise well lent is one thing infrastructure is the other thing and if you're working in moscow and part of the numbers of this of course is not of real help for you so you need all the real estate together close to moscow or for that you need the infrastructure the still a lot to be done and that's limits. is limits the value of land and put up prices for you just. in your. you focus mainly on moscow as far as i understand what about the other cities in russia i think we see more interest in interest in the other cities in russia as well but is right now mainly limited to retail and here we see a lot of interest of all the big russian and international retail changed

conquering russia right now really and in hotels i don't see so much interest in offices in the russian regions at this point of time well over the past couple of years we've seen very high rates of growth and terms of real estate prices i mean it has been a good bet so far but there's obviously a ceiling at some point what do you think will be the drivers of the growth in the coming years i think. in. a lot will depend specially in moscow on the political situation we have seen in our report that there's a. very high potential for development and the big question is will there be the chances to execute all this development which depends a lot on the moscow city government and the other is as i said the infrastructure needs russia still has to do a lot and the main question if we don't have enough infrastructure and if we don't allow for enough development in moscow then we will see stronger rising prices if there's more coming prices should stabilize but i think they will always will be

quite high because they simply russia moscow is the center of the of the main center and they were all the sort of people are probably the second most common all right hold your head of real estate practice that pete obviously thank you so much thank you very much for this. and i'm afraid we don't have any time for formal business news but we will be back in fifty five minutes time to bring in updates so we do join me if you get.

thank you. he.

if you're just joining us a very warm welcome to you this is the line from moscow time for your headlines now russia's foreign minister warns the un security council will approve foreign military intervention in syria but says moscow has never insisted that retaining the assad regime was a condition of a piece of the syrian opposition rejects a chance for talks with the country's president instead of threatening the assad family with a brutal and bloody. plans to expand the u.s.

military presence in the asia pacific region too far on the philippines which is offered to host more american troops in china the state's running daily it has called for sanctions against the island nation for creating tension in the region. and this year's first e.u. summit exposes deepening divisions within the union but the prediction is both grow . but why. despite most members agreeing to fish school were stripped sions that critics say is an affront to sovereignty and democracy. now here on r.t. i'll go on off talk to the co-founder of russia's pirate party about what the internet tomorrow will look like spotlight is now. hello yellow walsall to spotlight the show on our t.v.

. and today my guest in the studio is alex song that. the internet today is a place where almost any media is available for free for content providers this is a problem that costs money to make movies music and so they want protection for their invest. how this can be achieved without risk freedom of information ideas so can there be a compromise or their formation battle is set to run forever we're asking one of the leaders of the russian parliament party that advocates lead freedom of the internet. during the last five years the world has seen the rise of the so-called pirate party these are groups struggling to reform copyright and patent wars in favor of free transfer of information at the moment there are

pirate parties in about forty countries around the globe but some of the european ones take part in local legislatures and. even has two seats in the european parliament most of the world's hard part is supported recent protests against. a m.b.p. i.p.a. bills in the us congress they claimed they were a threat to freedom of information and an attempt to introduce censorship and i think that. the welcome to the show thank you thank you very much for being with us today well first of all i'd like you to comment on the situation that we see in the united states the draft i mean this and people why did these laws why did the discussion of the. provoke such an outrage how could how could it change the lives of the ordinary americans if they if they're finally passed but only ordinary americans and i think for us it's very

important that america now is the something like that all over the world and what they do and the. after some time with so involved for now situation and our life and you know the internet is basing something some part of internet and isn't on america and if the. lies this new to literary and the rules of game they are it will be here and of course it's very dangerous so that they try step by step attempt after attempt to make this literary and control on the internet and we know their first actions. including the arrest in of people for example in new zealand when all the silence saw or of course we are protesting and of course we understand that that is a lot of it but you protest you're you're not. americans you're trying to protect the russians on the internet for the only everybody out everyone how everybody you know we are we are living in the world. people who live inside internet

they are living in the world and not only in russia or in america and we live in a new reality in this reality we protect ourselves so if you virtual reality will in you realty because virtual reality is part of reality and may be diminishing part of the reality to be this is the research. maybe not because intellectual life is a life. in internet it is very important intellectual and spiritual to write. to the sore point people it's not forced attempt and it is not lost it is part of big work all between grassroot networks civil society from one side and these authoritarian people in states that is national corporations and of course internet manipulating structures and which wants to make such

a law that before court they can arrest resource so it is telling these unused hellenism not less. ok well on the eighteenth of january more than one hundred fifty thousand websites all to their web pages all went off my protesting against us anti-piracy legislation spotlights to me there has more on the biggest online progress in internet history . from many internet users around the world. it was a day when their favorite web pages were blacked out changed it was also the day when they learned two new acronyms and people abbreviations of the controversial american anti-piracy bills the stop online piracy act so far and tapped

into. river sea act the part we're making their way through the us congress those opposing the laws that provisions have been written so broadly that they could eventually lead to some say ship on the mat and harm millions of innocent users internet giants such as google and you tube awakened the bills to chinese style media control the online protest manned some of internet's largest and most popular resources like wikipedia shut down for twenty four hours the next day peaceful online protest gave way to a massive hacker attack when the group anonymous crippled the us government and the entertainment industry cites a response to the closure of the popular file sharing website mega opera old advocates of the online freedom celebrated on january twentieth when the us congress announced it would indefinitely postponed voted on so part and people the

controversial legislation will now be rewritten in the hope of finding a better balance between online freedom and copyright protection but a compromise that suits everyone will be almost impossible to find making round two of the battle for the internet and me a certainty. what you and your friends your colleagues are trying to find the soper people have bills today but despite the decision on the bills the us authorities have closed down the. one of the biggest biggest foreign sharing sites in the world so doesn't that mean that the existing legislation isn't enough to to to to to to fight piracy in the nets so so why do you have to fight the soper people and why do they need this so people what's it all about first of all out of the little enemies try to protect in different ways and of course we. people or it

will be more useful to attack for them easier. to all. because. of this deal it is a really still a mystic crack six just two because it is a field this may go up a lot you can port you can give it is the same as to arrest. big market because some people came there and do something. you know i would i would suggest to you can you know we once i know if it still exists when i was a kid we have these places in moscow what we share in stamps not exams like images just so sure you're right and even even the soviets couldn't close them because we were not training we would do it is it is the training and practice but we must resist in this way in this when this way it is a big battlefield including by the way in russia too because in russia we have

a big troubles with these problems because some structures want to control internet and some structures want to for example arrest you or because in your computer is something. that you buy. we have heard about serious problems internet problems in china yes but do you really as a member of this pirate party do you really see any serious threats to freedom in russia are you serious about yes because we know some cases for example in carson and our region where some of the logical activists had very big problems according to them and no problems because their computers were arrested because some product inside this computer was not. they have not only prepare us to have this product. in this way every single activist can be arrested. saw

can be put in courts more than reality and of course we are against it because. it's not a problem of money really it's a problem of control what's wrong with copyright. what's wrong with copyright for example author and i don't afraid of if somebody can copy my book in the internet why because my copyright for me is that my name must be mentioned if my idea is in use but the problem of mining in this situation i don't think about it. so deeply that's all it is big big problem for me as an author because if my book is internet of course much more people want to buy it in reality in a short much more people because they prefer for example in the library to read it in. a variant so i understand that it is problem of we're

a little but of producers and their supporters as an author so you are not against books being freely published in the intruder here including your own books i saw dozens of them today in the net for free but you want your copyright still to exist for you to be able to sell them ok not sell you don't own little them to my main interest in them author is a most my name must be mentioned if it doesn't use what so it is not my problem says alexander should be in one of the leaders of the russian pirate spotlight will be back shortly after great stay with doug.

well good. science technology innovation all the latest developments from around russia we've got the future covered. i am. were shot four times in total and i have worn a zip code. story of the boys who are still in my body. and those people should be allowed to defend themselves were they own guns in the hands of law abiding decent people are not a problem national rifle association person or group of basically retired military and police love to shoot holes and i'm sorry if you know that the bullet comes out here and this makes it go bang and if what's in front of here is going to

die and that's all the training you really really need raise your hand if you know something's been. ok place to live with one of the philadelphia horns on the streets. until about a hopefully we will never have to use the weapons for self defense but we should be prepared for the full class including the teacher as employers. seventeen students and six am one of seven or so a lot of. my

. welcome back to spotlight algren love and just a reminder that my guest on the show today is alexander shubin one of the leaders of the russian pirate partly mr shubrick you said there you have nothing against your books being freely available in the internet but how will all three years make their living if their books are available for free i mean there's a. really work of three ways very good for authors and for me as an author i have

more than twenty books. involved in this problem first of all. is a mortar or treat and internet and all the. trade off for good so which you can have in your hands and read a big part of people who want to have books as a reality not only the text in the computer for example i can say that our intellectual literature in russia now have. three thousand corp is five thousand copies a book and we have. millions of people and of course if my book will be widespread in internet more people want to wait not less it's first second for example imagine i want to write three books and i put an intern or three were whining and see if you prayed for this what money i will promote. will work with this

book more quickly now is with this is not so good and it is free choice for people who want to read my books and without a need to total by the way it is directly and of course it is more useful for me ok i want to ask you a couple of questions about your priority in. general pirates the pirate party we know pirate parties and europe are associated primarily with fighting for freedom of information and against copyright laws but what is your broader vision of a society you will live to live in because as far as we understand today under the new more liberal laws you are getting ready to become a real political party in russia really we are of course a real political party with very wide program and now we are working for more concrete program of course what we have ideas about everything. has all parties now .
