8:03 am
u.s. economy over the fact that people are losing their jobs people can't get their jobs people are struggling to find money to make ends meet and these americans are now saying this is there there are americans praying and there are they are planning to stay down there through the end of the year and i can tell you this week by week this group of demonstrators that you know call themselves on iraq street this group is getting bigger and bigger there's no doubt about that. right i was going to point out a border right there let's let's get some more details on this story told through radio host and author steven levy went to join us live now and it will brother from chicago thank you for joining us today so more people are joining the protest or new york and other cities just how far do you think this could go or. well i am both or this needs to come i have written so i'm right sure what's going on in the middle east the arab spring has in bloom but it certainly is firmly in spain and
8:04 am
committed very impressive school we are across europe to go yachting greece and spain italy in the u.k. . in our own in other countries it went on to wisconsin in america last winter we're not a week after we can't go we are over people took over the capitol building in madison wisconsin. they have been no but is still committed in the end and given it even though it was so much they still coming back now this this is the core core issue this is the most important issue a low i wonder is it equal in your book in chicago or i live in san francisco in los angeles in dallas in the wall and all over the country dozens of cities across the country my home city of boston over a thousand turned out i think harry king hunger it is just the beginning i think
8:05 am
they know now for which we're on to be out on the streets are safe i mean is somebody from i mean you've drawn a very broad picture here you've mentioned in the past several months of the uprising across the eurozone and the arab spring apart across parts of northern africa and the middle east as well and now you're joining a lot of states across america some of the activists are saying that they have joined inspiration from for example the to riff square revolution in cairo i mean do you think as you are suggesting perhaps this is the start of an american spring that well we don't know oh i certainly hope so americans are the last ones to react it doesn't happen very often in the last time it happened it happened in the one nine hundred sixty s. civil rights it happened in the sixty's and seventy's to the missive in east against libya. all the anyone. in america was very evil i think if you years ago in a week we go see you know you know this is a row he sure was wall street everybody knows. he's too big to fail
8:06 am
banks should we do this i just wrote a book about this well there are many people that are saying the government so already in bed with the major players here but we let's i mean we were as we're talking to you here so we're showing some pretty impressive footage some what some would call violent footage of the way the police have been handling the so-called protesters and wall street certainly saw some bouts of violence there how would you assess their actions and would you would you see any reverberations of her across washington d.c. capitol hill seems to be fairly quiet at the moment over this. well this is what cops always do they come out on the streets each year also and he owes the police in forces for the crime bosses is exactly what they are it's a matter with wall street protesters i.m.f. world bank meetings g. twenty meetings. the global justice protests is going on in the streets because employees whom the democratic the republican national convention in two thousand in
8:07 am
two thousand and four and two thousand and eight republicans who the cops came out in blatant people they arrested people before the convention people began it they locked them up so they couldn't get out of the streets absolutely accost you in between them keep it brutalize them it may stone but these people keep coming out and seven hundred would use the rest of it will be more in the streets today i recall this is the state let me just mention the core issue that these people need to understand they know a lot of things go wrong but the core issue is the power of money or and who controls the power of money is being power that controls everything controls war and peace controls everything going on in the corporate world the bank is a wall street and the power of money they literally run. goldman sachs runs the government j.p. morgan chase bank of america and they run the government this ask stuff the people
8:08 am
on the streets across america have to understand lives and they have to demand that the power of money returned to the congress is logical one section eight since only the congress has the power with the coin money does it say g.d. morgan does this is a big of america all either congress does if they had paul is returned to congress they would have to protest the vote bank just because the bank is whoa piece misting it too big to fail. well literally just needed just a little if he should eat. a lot more there are many people who are saying when it comes to for example the eurozone in the ongoing crisis with greece that it should just be allowed to default forcing some sort of a reconstruction of the financial system they're going to a radio host and author i would love to talk to you further that's all the time we have for many thanks indeed. but
8:09 am
a twenty four people have now been arrested in boston after the protests spread there as well check out other pictures on our web site r.t. dot com or thousands have been a rallying of the bank of america's main office at the company's repossession policies that are turning people out onto the streets and we're going to r.t. top con to stay on top of the story. this week's headlines in russia have been dominated by the planned reshuffle in the put in nigeria of tandem and the sudden departure of the finance minister as well it prompted an unexpected in the few from the president as he clarified his decision to run for office again but his article in a quarter of all reports the pre-election period in russia may hold even further surprises. i see this week's headlines have leadership committed that it. did that and use of the drops rose not believe it's which russia hasn't seen for quite some time while some criticize others applauded the tandems deal and the
8:10 am
kings of photo shop rolled out some of their best work yet with the general mood being that the deal had been done long ago but it was an exciting for just a few days until the prosperous shuffles and corridors of power began. if you think your views on russia's economic agenda differ from mine as president if you can resign what's the. point pinions to differ from not only take such a decision after some of the prime minister. or the most successful still you can talk to whoever you want including the prime minister and the president by making a decision you know what was the surprise right now between the president and food chains longtime ally aleksey goodwrench like many questioning is there a split in the sound i'm. the situation with mr cooper it is a matter of discipline in government service or a presidential republican problem entry points on it implements the president's
8:11 am
policy if you don't agree you should send meanwhile many read it not as a sign of splits i mean you maturity in russia's democracy. are almost far more slayer wishful thinking on the part of the point out these people probably remember the parents of a cold water trough when there was a rift inside reported people which ultimately was one of the results of the collapse of the u.s.s.r. and i remember before coming to power radio gave an interview where he basically said that russia will not survive another conflict inside beneath the big news of food chain yet again running for president brought up so many questions that need treatment that if you need to. t.v. hat's to cross the t.'s and dot. no we're going to know who the people trust me was president and that my approval ratings point behind the current circumstances we also know that prime minister putin and so to be remain the most popular politician
8:12 am
in our country and his rating is even higher because the election campaign has just started. the simple question what if people reject us. and come to what will happen to these decisions by the convention because these decisions are merely the parties recommendation to vote for those people that saw the choices made by the people watching us and these are not me a words you can't salute the troops or any politician in any political field may lose an election but many questions are still in the air like why would a politician like nutriment that if his approval rating is still still when russia not seek reelection and let's move the face of the new cabinet of ministers look like on to him should he become pm immediately after the united russia congress many rejoiced in the fact that the country's top political point is finally over and they can go about their usual business but this week has shown that when it
8:13 am
comes to the chess game process and politics there are many more moves to be made before the final made up of the new government is no if you don't catch obama r.t. . if you want to see the interview the president gave to the russian media in full just right now to our web site that's dot com and i still have in the program here are the the strive for statehood for the future of palestine is clouded in intrigue with the u.s. a veto hanging over its bit at the u.n. security council also reviving the revolution eight months after the toppling of president hosni mubarak look at whether egyptians managed to get what it was they were fighting so hard. the endgame is rapidly approaching for greece as its government admits that it only has the cash to pay its bills for eight more days after which the only option will be default in response the e.u. is kicked it's a bureaucratic machine into gear and an all out effort to release more cash but
8:14 am
this comes as french president nicolas sarkozy admits that the much criticized bailout of protests the blogs last line of defense in preventing the crisis from consuming the whole eurozone germany's are also announced a meeting in the coming days to finalize a radical expansion of the blocks emergency cash flow but as always is there a fourth reports it may all come to nothing i said greek economy crumbles under the weight of unprecedented. greece has been the pace the child of the year. with germany expand the bailout fund the country look that's to get that much needed cash injection to help come with some condition here in greece the people say the price being made to pay simply the high earning that. is the deadline day for the first to be hit with the greek government special tax it's one of the measures they put in place to try to secure the next tranche of money the
8:15 am
country needs to flee bankruptcy the extra tax which is due to doubts about another week the sense that people are. supposed to help the likes of the match fixing the budget to move in a year's salary cuts rises in living costs people here already at breaking point the last two years almost inevitable because. eric last analysis from the opposition me title pay he tells me how the need rapidly in recent months as more and more people hit the financial wall before. because we wanted. protest against the unjust situation i know there are thousands and dozens of thousands of people who will not pay because of necessity people's desperation has become increasingly evident on the streets of greece but it says
8:16 am
repeatedly play can out between via place and protest those key states through even more clashes this parliament again feted yet another of. the fall of in the property tax where organizing all these desires to put on them are a mess just for political reasons greece and critics do not need. many people in greece now question just irritates the thinking troll unfortunately today varia leaders in euro zone are the bankers. there. is mr. bunker. and again and again all of the. facts in your original despite germany having thinks it's positively to expand the size and power of the year. already critics are
8:17 am
questioning whether that will be a concise now to many challenges. still faces if the. will move and will start purchasing power european countries german banks. even germany with. european union. you will find a solution could be not just for greece and but for all the euro being you know with past measures failing to have the banks. struggle convinced that the public. still hangs in the balance of these places. many people. greece is a country now at risk of having not only a financial but it got a classic deficit as well. as the parliament building in athens but the top
8:18 am
stories of the week this is that we can see now egypt's ruling military council has given in to the demands of protesters and political parties and agreed to make changes to the election law there were fears current rules could enable supporters of ousted president mubarak to come back to power in november's parliamentary elections but the decision comes after friday's massive protests thousands thronged career square in an attempt to reclaim the revolution demanding a transfer of power to civilian rule and an end to emergency law. and he said when i went to cairo to see what else is driving people to cairo square. we knew that change had come to egypt a new chapter of freedom and democracy don't judge a book by its cover when reading post mubarak egypt it's pertwee no lines where you'll find the new chapter hasn't been published edited or slightly revised we
8:19 am
still have the supreme council of the armed forces those who will notice i cannot say that they have been. since this country towards democracy warrick me the company's policies are not hosni mubarak's case is ongoing at this tribe you know new figures from human rights watch claims more civilians have been forced to face military trials last six months some twelve thousand during the entire thirty year rule of mubarak average civilians are giving five to you know seven years in prison a lot of torture that has occurred since staff has come into power. actor only somebody doesn't clown around when it comes to the supreme council or scaf he has taken part in protests since day one and still has scars from being detained because the books were much worse they said very long have they told
8:20 am
people they had to stick it hardly for months after that i shot for the study beaten with a baton the head osha least only because i'm well known now not allowed to leave the country for thirty years according to law if i have to seek asylum stay and fight for freedom like mubarak skaf canst the supported needs to rule egypt from bronte day that we get from the us that one point five billion a year the easier proceeds from from the usa and most of it entirely goes to the supreme court to the to the army or the scout. well the west coast history books will change for the better the arab spring is a massive opportunity to spread peace prosperity democracy egypt since our last reading the writing on the wall in many areas it's the same as before don't go into very funny some areas and getting more worse and he's now
8:21 am
a r t congress. now the libyan city of sirte is plunging deeper into a humanitarian crisis the battle for one of gadhafi few remaining strongholds shows no signs of abating on saturday revolutionary forces claim they're completely surrounded the colonel's hometown and is loyalist forces were being slowly forced out i mean while thousands are fleeing the besieged town driven from their homes by fierce fighting and a lack of vital supplies aid agencies say those injured and trapped are in desperate need of medical help of people dying in the main hospital because of oxygen and fuel shortages and see what was brian becker says nato mission to protect civilians is now more questionable than ever. clearly they're not protecting civilians when there are mean cities that are considered to be pro could offie when they're killing people not because they've done something wrong but because their own political beliefs are contrary to what nato wants in terms of the
8:22 am
kind of government they want for libya so i think that they need to be brought to justice i think though unless there's a very strong international movement for human rights in this instance i think it's unlikely they will be brought to court but the goal of the nato powers is the carry out regime change so that the government is gone once and forever and then there will be a new government that will not necessarily be more democratic or more humi but will be an ally or i would say in fact a proxy a client perhaps a puppet of western powers in this country that has the largest oil reserves in all of africa the ninth largest oil reserves in the world. in regard to you live from moscow now you can always find more stories comments and videos of course on our website r t v dot com i hear some of the are lined up for you on line right now but this tactic group speaks out against what they say are you plans to make ukraine

8:25 am
with so i got scared and started running away and i was hit on the shoulder and it turned out to be a perforated my lovely nato forces also claimed they used only rubber bullets and tear gas against the protesting wall this was quickly rejected by doctors in meter of its fuelling speculation as to who restarted. the road forty seven men in heavy condition gunshot wounds fractures and bruises all those wounds were caused by a regular bullet which we extracted from their bodies. to set up a derivative of their weapons or journalists and issued a shoot to kill the order for anyone trying to penetrate it they told me and all police stepped out of their u.i. mandate and they're really really now just like thirty nine hundred ninety nine during the bombing when there were the air force for the albanian separatists are now acting as their infantries belgrade has reacted with indignation and who didn't go she ations with course. until the dispute is
