backs against the wall street brutal crackdown supporters for social and financial justice sparks accusations that u.s. democracies are just an illusion. athens prepares for the plunge a severe austerity deal to save the greek economy with the government admitting there won't be able to meet the e.u. dictated deficit deadlines for this year. russia's orbit ambitions grows another satellite for the global tracking system wants is into space to rival u.s. produced g.p.s. systems.

am in the russian capital you're watching r.t. i'm marina joshie welcome to the program a wave of public discontent in the u.s. shows no sign of abating following saturday's protests were hundreds of peaceful demonstrators were arrested sparking accusations of heavy handed policing defiance how wall street activists refused to back down saying more marches against course were greed and social inequality are in the pipeline are just wearing a part i caught up with some of those involved. a new season in a different nation the arab spring has become america's autumn and on saturday new york's brooklyn bridge reminded many of a scene from egypt to hear square. i. nearly eight hundred protesters were trapped because arrested and jailed as

thousands of activists continued their second week of occupy wall street demonstrations and grassroots movement is campaigning against social inequality and corporate influence over u.s. politics in the interim police conduct against peaceful protesters has come into question. there are just last week a new york city police officer attacked occupy wall street protesters with pepper spray prompting public outreach and an internal affairs investigation many believe there will be another dramatic confrontation this weekend after what happened last weekend after four women were kept her spray. they were corralled by the police after the n.y.p.d. used heavy handed tactics punching some protesters i think many people didn't expect that there would be something like that again this weekend though i have heard no reports pepper spray being used there were there were aggressive arrests and there were. people stopped and hundreds are arrested arrested after this were

charged with disorderly conduct and summons to appear in criminal court. by sunday hundreds appeared back on wall street determined to continue their fight against corporate domination once you are not a breed to be arrested anymore the whole enjoy or control of the police state disappears when that happens there are credible possibilities that are open to us and suddenly you can imagine a different world and you believe you can be an agent of change. the group says it in strong breeze national awareness and change america's economic disparity occupy wall street describes itself as a resistance movement inspired in part by it from counterparts we can follow. the lead of our brothers and sisters all over the world care of spring in greece and spain and we can see that it did send a powerful message ordinary people are not going to stand for corporate greed

anymore and that we're giving up we're doing something about it. and the reason these activists are doing something on wall street rather than washington is because they say you have to follow the money begin where the largest campaign contributions donations and lobby groups come from. we were told it was for. for you know maybe four years old. bush. before that his father the bush dynasty corporate greed goes all the repeat president i think this is where the. supercharger it is true that these demonstrators come here with a variety of different messages but what is uniting what unifies them is a growing frustration over the u.s. on a social inequality and corporate influence on u.s. politics these protesters say if american leaders can't act it will be the american citizens that stand up for their rights reporting from wall street more importantly

party. also kranz now will street and the way existing financial institutions are ran show that he's just an empty phrase that. base investigative journalists tell me gossip. i think we're dealing with people who are absolutely in denial they're not interested in what he ordinary people want and i think this tells us the scales are falling from our eyes this shows us that america is not a democracy they're not listening to what the people i've got to say i meet are ordinary people coming up with their solutions because those people charged with running our financial system have not just made a mess of things they have actually orchestrated that system in their own interest it's absolutely inexcusable for the police to be wading in in a democracy note it is not to see the fleas do not wading into peaceful demonstrators as they have been in new york so i think this is another indication that america's democracy is actually failing us at the moment is failing the world

and it's absolutely not on for them to be going around the world so-called spreading democracy when they haven't even got democracy in their own country you know in their own government institutions they need to be listening to what these people have got to say and of course they're not listening. again scott that editor of an apparent news web site says the main question now is whether the largely supportive and how wall street movement is likely to turn into a strong political force. as we see now of course these protests are not just taking place on wall street but are now starting to spread across the country which is a sign that there really is something going on here and that will start to spread even further and and that's the type of situation that could lead to an american spring as it's being dubbed now i see that there there could be that possibility of escalation at this moment i would say that the momentum and probably a bit of a p.r. win is on the protesters side because no one likes to save it but police going in and breaking up a peaceful protest movements like that and especially now that we're getting

reports that the protesters were actually lured onto the bridge and then trapped so so it's very interesting to watch how this will play out and i think at this point as i say the protesters are probably winning in a p.r. game but but again i think there's a there's a much larger political movement at stake here and it really does remain to be seen whether there can be some sort of coordinated action on on the on the federal reserve and the privately owned banks that central banking system of the united states. and another showcase of public anger is bubbling in the u.k. . joy if people post what you post she will shift taking. tens of thousands of people descended on manchester to take part in march against government cuts also a little earlier in the program. damaging prices parents and teachers across france are enraged by a new school books that revise the story will council of political correctness. the greek debt crisis has taken a sharp turn for the worse as government declares

a woman able to meet key mandated deficit deadlines for this and next year the revelation signals that the shocking degree of steering posed by air france on its people has failed while sending the economy in soon a manageable contraction is especially worrying given that e.u. debt inspectors in greece are currently deciding on whether to release more bailout funds for the country the country's government has said that unless it gets that money it won't be able to pay its bills for this month are to sarah first looks and just worthless now puts the embattled country. greece now default that's the million dollar question well to be more exact the full one hundred fifty billion a year a question. that greece now. votes could never be. greece ever for granted europe's government.

or or or i don't know works. great governments running out the vote and they can keep trying to impose these very few measures that would likely lead to more of a violent clashes we think if we rightly and prayed and the last week the month or they can have kids to default that year as they need it in specific the fault is not an option. they're concerned that work least a decent a it could spark a financial meltdown in the usa there's now a growing recognition that behind closed doors other options are being considered it could be called is different from the cards has been on the cards there for a year and a half all time being in the crowd because when you have a good hold hanging over the exorbitant size but we have here in greece it is impossible to imagine a staring vacantly i mean suppose. if you said so the default was always going to happen as a full speculation rumbles on it's become clear that there are fundamental flaws in

the usa things operation i think europe citizens have the right to know what the causes are at the moment they're being deflected from the real causes and they're being asked to blame little greece little greece however idiotic it may have proved in the past. and never was incapable of spearheading a global financial crisis see just who is to blame for what we are experiencing in greece will be. using new kind of war using international. financial crimes for the past eighteen months the greek government has cut wages raise taxes just pensions and in return received billions of year in bailout funds now as they await the next eight billion cash injection many are left wondering if it's all been worth it just

to give you another number one we first. thought it was about. now this all happened in the. series that. one. night so just three years after all of this phase of stuff. protests and strike action now almost daily occurrence greek government bases a huge crisis of confidence amongst the electorate financially in the red politically in the dark greece's population leasing their patience if greece does the focus of the eurozone extremely uncertain indeed but many people here feel that not to do so is to risk their country sinking deeper in financial and economic ruin

. and coming up later today artie's people now asks he's crossed our gas whether social perspire he and a strong economy are still pillars of western democracy here's a taste or. we have government they're out. hinder creation they hinder innovation going to sleep but steve it's not really it's fair to say that's maybe syrian someone better just going to do anything and take you know if you're going to everyone on the panel is that you know we have electorates that voted for these kinds of programs for decades ok so don't say governments i mean if we're talking about people voting for politicians that say give me more and more and more and make other people pay for it later or maybe we can supply in some commonality that i agree with i registered with any other really major religions was richard roth here rich go ahead i want richard in new york to go ahead yeah let

me just respond to one thing that this notion that governments act as if they are the origin of what they do governments are elected and under enormous pressure from their constituencies and to explain what governments do without in analyzing who is pushing them to do what is a very strange logic. to take. it tonight you live from moscow russia has launched and other satellite into orbit as part of its global navigation project alliance this means the system is now fully operational and can provide global coverage in spirit already joins us live now for more on this good morning to you so looks like the other g.p.s. providers now have a serious rival well yes the launch of this latest satellite which is the twenty

fourth in the global system is the wall that allows total gloat total global coverage now there will be more subtle lights planned for launch throughout the rest of the year to get the complete coverage this is the minimum amount of satellites they need to have in orbit around the planet to provide total global coverage but it hasn't always been. plain sailing as far as cool and ask goes the actual first satellites in the system was was launched up there back in back in the eighty's developed originally by the u.s.s.r. it's now been taken over by the russian federation but even recent times we have seen some problems for clone us in december of last year three satellites fell out of the sky causing some major setbacks and in fact this launch of the most late of the latest satellite was delayed following problems launching at the progress module to the international space station at the at the end of august this year so

there has been some step setbacks along the way now we're looking to see what blown us can actually do can it live up to the hype that it's been build out now the designers say that they can make it accurate to six meters now what that means is it can place you within six meters on the planet and that's compared to g.p.s. which is around seven meters so we're going better with this one will. convince consumers that they want to buy products that glowed us in them instead of g.p.s. that's something that we'll have to wait and see see how it develops along the lot of people all around the world not just here in russia we'll be looking to see if glow in us is know of buyable option to g.p.s. a viable alternative i beg your pardon to g.p.s. and whether it could see future development in global positioning satellites.

well it certainly looks like a competition market is getting tired there and maybe good news for consumers could our thanks very much indeed for a sucky. to other news now tens of thousands have marched through the northern british city of manchester and now there are protests at a stary cuts to public services and pensions the 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 it was there. the consensus of possible friends has started ten months of the movement politicians and delegates started to arrive this happens overnight is estimated 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

a government that doesn't offer working people now look at the finest state you can see here around me are calling for a strike on the thirtieth of may ban but they're calling for a general strike the public sector workers to town leave why should the government just exactly what it would be like if public sector workers didn't in fact show up for work in the morning say 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 die and susan the that's you today and unless you promise that you going to make these deep cuts in public that's a fine. i think that you'll pay a little stately. lauren with reporting there now let's take a look at some other stories from around the world fighting has resumed lidia's the siege city of syria after a two day truce or a lot of civilians leave the battlefield speier nato warplanes have carried out strikes while revolutionary fighters in their offensive against the find could be

case in most other markets we are very reliant on foreign capital flows to a much greater extent than other emerging markets so when there is any reason for investors to be nervous about global events they will take their money out of emerging markets and we do not have the substitution of domestic money which countries like brazil india and china do have. let's take a look at the markets now kurds extending losses from the one me alone concerns one just economy and europe's debt could pump fuel to market investors expect reports to show manufacturing in the u.s. barely clear in september nights which is trading at seventy eight dollars a barrel branches hovering at one hundred and eight one hundred one dollars a barrel. markets in asia shot below on monday on up or saying greece's new budget will fall short of austerity targets in hong kong financials and resell stocks are leading the sell off of china is down almost five percent under the new corporation
