an. the headlines here on r t arab spring echoes in america u.s. a police use force to disperse an anti roll street rally arresting more than seven hundred members of a protest movement gaining momentum across the country. we'll look at why syria's crackdown is deemed the more important than the battle of brooklyn bridge by newspapers in the u.s. . and across the atlantic in the u.k. unions angry at budget cuts bring thousands out to rally demanding david cameron's coalition government resign. but also in this week's top stories the president may be out of cells living here which is greater popularity was behind his decision not

to run for a second term as part of a surprise interview that stirred up the day about brushing his political future. and adar humanitarian situation in the besieged libyan town of sirte where people are dying from a lack of vital suppliers amid ongoing fighting something experts say makes nato's mission to protect civilians more questionable than ever. just after ten pm here in the russian capital and you're watching r.t. now to our top story wall street protesters in new york say they will continue demonstrations the pledge comes out their police violently dispersed a rally and arrested more than seven hundred people after a dramatic showdown on the brooklyn bridge well thousands have now joined the movement dubbed occupy wall street angry at what they call corporate domination as

. explains the action of police is likely to bring more anger to the streets of new york and beyond. right about now most of the protesters that were arrested from what we're being told more than seven hundred of them have been released or in the process of being released from prison from where they were being held i spoke with one of the protesters who said he wasn't sure if he could come on camera because he has to speak with his lawyer first all of these folks are being charged with disorderly conduct but as we could tell from the video and the images that were taken on saturday this was quite a clash a clash between thousands of americans that began their demonstration at a park by wall street and then walked onto the brooklyn bridge we can't deny the fact that the media in the u.s. is covering it they are but how they're covering it is a different story for example i just want to show you the front page of the new york times from the sunday ok mind you one new york times reporter journalist was

arrested in this protest that took place now here the biggest picture is of one protester in syria and right down here is a little picture of all the new york city protesters that were arrested on the group bridge so you could see the comparison why they decided to make that decision i have no clue but many critics do believe that the main stream media are either trying to take credibility away from all these demonstrators who are not give them ample coverage maybe make it a very short story and in the meantime though these protesters that are part of what's called occupy wall street say they are determined to continue to continue mistreating continue camping out by wall street doubts where they have been for the past two weeks now this incident that we saw a ruckus in new york on saturday was the most recent one but it's not the first one just last weekend we saw cops and demonstrators clashed down by wall street several

women were maysoon the fees by a police officer others were arrested there was a confrontation. in physical confrontation between police officers and the demonstrators like this occupy wall street group isn't limited to new york city there are demonstrations now taking place in los angeles taking place in boston taking place in other cities throughout the country all very house and author stephen leatherman says the ever expanding process shows awareness is growing among americans the country is run by people they never elected who controls the power of money to preen power they had controls everything control war and peace only stairs grows the government j.p. morgan chase big of america they were only going to this has to start the people on the streets across america ever understand lives and they have to demand that the

power of money return to a congress is article one section eight since all we do congress is the money doesn't say gee this is a big a very big already congress if there is return to congress it will help approach it from both big pieces in the power of money little bit couldn't people were blogs james corbat editor of independent news website corporate report dot com says the police brutality may provoke an escalation of violence. there could be that possibility of escalation at this moment i would say that the momentum and probably the p.r. win is on the protester side because no one likes to see the police going in and breaking up a peaceful protest movements like that and just nationally now that we're getting reports that the protesters were actually lured onto the bridge and then trapped it's quite obvious by this point that the monetary system itself needs reform but i think if we leave that in the hands of the regulators and the people who have been

in charge of the system they're really just going to try to consolidate more power for themselves so we see that for example playing out in the euro zone by the european central bank arguing for more power rather than less power because there is a need more power to him to further consolidate the europe of the eurozone into a coherent whole that's the argument that they're trying to use and i think what these protest movements indicate is that it is a new knowledge and on the people's part and that that that can't be allowed to continue because if it does then just more and more of these types of things will continue to happen is the powerful lessons and if you are in fewer hands of the discontent being seen in the us indicates something's going very wrong either way the country's ruled that's the view of prominent author robert fast certainly on chomsky well his full interview is coming up in about twenty five minutes time. mistreats. support over. the. right sort of goes for. third world countries. two thirds of the public thinks.

it means that the system isn't working and the public knows it so the popular early favorite rating for congress and single. person not her in the same bunch of course all of them and. it's a very widespread sense that everything is going wrong in the polls and the current system is just not functioning. now thousands have marched through the northern british city of manchester and another protest at a steady cuts to public services and a pensions rally in opposition to the governing coalition and organized by trade unions coincided with the ruling conservative party's conference in the city artie's lore and that's because there. the conservative cause a conference is started ten months is the moment that politicians and delegates started to arrive this happens overnight and that's maybe thirty thousand people

are turning out for this march through the streets of manchester to protest what the coalition government is doing in the way of talks and you've literally got pool full of people here you've got the older generation saying hands off our pensions you've got the sort of middle aged generation who fear that their job because as money to public service is slashed eve guards the very very young who are worried that's things like nurseries and provision so i take a single because and of course much is that the monkey population you've got a lot of students turns out much like in all the marches that we've seen across the country turned out to protest against the rising cost of education i spake to some of the people who are heads of the just why they could it was important to time now say and here's what they told me i think a simple no we send a message to the good woman to bring all sport in particular to the people on the lead supposed to the school kids to be so this is. pushing that the government

knows the majority of people opposed to what we do for you she will show you in just a paycheck she should beg you to join the give a child schools that one of which it's wrong do to move you up we will bring this government down and bring in a government that doesn't offer working people now look at the plan is that you can see here around me are calling for a strike on the thirtieth that made them that they calling for a general strike the public sector workers to down to leave why should the government just exactly what it would be like if public sector workers didn't in fact show up to work in the mornings if that's what they're planning to do a lot of the biggest events in the country unison yes they have all turned out here today to say we will turn to the that's it today but unless you promise that you're going to make these deep cuts in public spectacle. i think that your proposed date the rules say the prime minister david ignatius. of the discontent in the u.k. is only now gathering pace got to protest a debt ridden greece had been going on for months economic to stave closer for

athens with a vital rescue payment delayed and the country quickly got it out of cash. plus hello to arms the stalemate our service border with northern kossovo turns violent as nato forces leave several people wounded trying to dismantle robots near a disputed checkpoint. well this week's headlines it all russia has been dominated by the planned reshuffle and that would have been vetted tender and the sudden departure of the finance minister what prompted an unexpected interview from the president as he clarified his decision not to run for office again this article that he had retro over reports the pre-election period of russia may hold even more surprises. this week's headlines have been all that if you tune huge an advantage and use of the jets brought in a political speech russia hasn't seen for quite some time while some criticised

others applauded the tandems deal and the 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 first rich shuffles in the corridors of power began to move if you think your views on russia's economic agenda differ from mine as president you can resign. my opinions do differ from yours only take such a decision after a talk to the prime minister in the most absolute of. whoever you want including the prime minister is only going the president making his decision or you're with them the surprise right now between the president and putin. longtime ally aleksey could read left many questioning is there a split in the tandem at the solution of the situation with mr could ruin is a matter of discipline in government service we are a presidential republic not

a parliamentary one it implements the president's policies if you don't agree you should step down meanwhile many read it not as a sign of a split but i mean you maturity in russia's democracy. are almost for mostly a wishful thinking all the part of the poor health these people probably remember the perils of war patrol where there was a rift inside the port of buehrle which ultimately was one of the results of the collapse of the u.s.s.r. i remember before coming to power and it gave an interview where he basically said that russia a lot survive all fit inside the needs so from the very beginning i didn't believe that there was a serious rift in the big news of putin yet again running for president brought up so many questions let me trim it that it had to need top t.v. hats to cross the t.'s and dot the ice storm so you know because it's nice to know

who people trust me of president and that my approval rating is quite high under current circumstances but i also know that prime minister putin undoubtedly remains the most popular politician in our country at this point but his rating is even higher because the election campaign has just started let's ask ourselves a simple question which what if our people reject us. and come to what will happen to these decisions by the convention was these decisions or merely the party's recommendation to vote for those people that's all the choices made by the people and these are not new words in time saluki true for any politician and any political feels may lose an election but many questions are still in the air like why would a politician like nixon and that it was approval rating is still still high in russia not sequel. action and we need to preserve the new cabinet of ministers look like under him should he become pm immediately after the united russia congress many rejoiced in the fact that the country's top political is finally over and they

can go about their usual business but this week has shown that when it comes to the chess game the process and politics there are many more moves to be made before the final me government is no if you don't catch obama or t.v. . well if you want to see the interview president medvedev gave to the russian media in full all we have to do is log on right now to our website that's r t v dot com. now on tuesday and get rid of greece tightens its belt even further to please its creditors the country's government approves a new property tax receive an angry response from greeks who are already burdened by a sturdy measures meanwhile the decision on another portion of the e.u. rescue package is still being delayed international inspectors are assessing whether greece deserves a cash injection a last chance for the country to avoid a default but as artists are for three ports the public remains convinced that the

clearly they're not protecting civilians when they're buying mean cities that are considered to be pro could afy 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 becoming the 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 to go. the nato powers is to 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 humane 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 syria is another country

still suffering internal conflict this week western countries did drop calls for immediate sanctions on the syrian regime and it follows criticism from russia which says negotiations are the only way forward for the people that we cannot support the projects that is being pushed through by western countries and it is among other things to do with the libyan experience foreign minister sergei lavrov criticized proposed sanctions saying they lacked strategic perspective or a recap of how things unfolded in the united nations on our website that's our dot com. violence flared up again this week around possibles northern border as nato troops attempted to dismantle the serbian rule clock several serbs were wounded amid claims the alliance led forces were using live rounds local serbs have barricaded the road to disputed ones that albanian sees earlier with the help of king for troops marquees alex a lot of chefs he has a story from possible. in some parts of the world this work in road would probably

. we knew in advance and we were officially notified that washington will use its veto during the voting in its korea that the u.s. as the dominant world power wants to extend its support to israel but what concerns us most is that the u.s. wants to force all the countries that took part in the general assembly you can smaller in particular the members of the u.n. security council to vote against palestinian maybe ship in the u.n. peace is the key concern for us all the member states of the security council have the right to use all means i would put it misuse their right to veto of course such a decision will be regrettable. i'll see you stick around i'll be back with a recap of our headlines in just a couple of months. jump
