just after two pm here in moscow this is arts he with me rory tsimshian welcome to the program a wave of public discontent in the us shows no sign of abating it's following saturday's protests where hundreds of peaceful demonstrators were arrested it's sparking accusations of heavy handed policing defiant antiwar street activists refused to back down saying more marches against corporate greed and social inequality are all in the pipeline. for some of those involved. the new season in a different nation the arab spring has become america's auto and on saturday new york sparkling bridge reminded many of a scene from egypt to here square. here

only eight hundred protesters were trapped cuffed arrested and jailed as thousands of activists continued their second week of occupy wall street demonstrations the 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. just last week a new york city police officer attacked occupy wall street protesters with pepper spray prompting public outrage and an internal affairs investigation many believe there will be another dramatic confrontation as we get after what happened last week after four women were pepper spray while 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 so i have heard

no reports pepper spray green as there were thousands of people stopped and hundreds arrested arrested after this were charged with disorderly conduct and summons to appear in criminal court. by sunday hundreds appeared on wall street determined to continue their fight against corporate domination once you already not agreed to be arrested anymore the whole enjoy or control of the police. disappears and i when that happens there are hard on credible possibilities that are open to us and suddenly you can imagine a different world and you could you can be an agent of change the group says it aims to raise national awareness and and change. erika's economic disparity occupy wall street describes itself as a resistance movement inspired in part by its encounter you can follow me over the leader of our brothers and sisters all over the world we care of spring in greece and spain we can see that it did send

a powerful message shortener people are not going to stand for corporate greed anymore and that we're getting out 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 with the largest campaign contributions donations and lobby groups come from its corporate interests we were told it was for change for you know maybe four years old billy. bush. because that is part of the bush dynasty i mean corporate greed goes all the president i think this is where they are going to be impulsive it starts at wall street 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. economy social inequality and corporate influence on us 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 important party here. to crack down on wall street existing financial institutions are run show that us democracy is just an empty phrase that's according to. journalist tony. i think we're dealing with people who are absolutely in denial they're not interested in what the 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 people have got to say and these 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 in a democracy the police 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 it's 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 in the course they're not listening. editor of an independent news website says that the main question now is whether the largely supported antiwar street movement is likely to turn into a strong political force. as we see now of course these protests are not just taking place not on wall street but are now starting to spread across the country which is a sign that there really is something going on here that will start to spread even further i see that there could be that possibility of escalation and these and all meant i would say that the momentum and probably the p.r. win is on the protester side because no one likes to save the police going in and breaking up 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 then 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 from the federal reserve and they have a privately owned bank and said central banking system of the united states. shock of public anger is bubbling in the u k. the joy of the people post what they do oppose the really cool shit taking tens of thousands of people descend on manchester to take part in a margin against government cuts also a little bit later in the program here on r t. identity crisis parents and teachers across france are enraged by new school books that revise historical accounts in the name of political correctness. the greek debt crisis has taken a sharp turn for the worse as world markets will react to athens admission that it

won't be able to meet key e.u. mandated deficit lines for growth this year and next year the revelation signals that a shopping to remove austerity imposed by athens on its people has failed sending economy into a manageable contraction it's especially worrying given to the e.u. debt inspectors in greece are currently deciding on whether to release more bailout funds because the country's government has said that unless it gets that money it won't be able to pay the bills for this month he said for the most interest where this now puts the battles country. to greece now to fold that's the million dollar question but to be more exact the four hundred fifty billion a year in question in. greece now. you think about greece over foregrounded fifty billion euros of government there you need to be you do it or or i don't know what. the greek government is

running out of option they can keep trying to impose these take us there if you measure that would likely lead to more of the violent clashes we've seen between rightly and protests in the last week the month all they can instead choose to default the year easing leaders have insisted that default is not an option they're concerned that work least it could spark a financial. meltdown in the usa there's now a growing recognition that behind closed doors other options are being considered a group called different cards has been on the cards after a year and a half altering of a card because when you have a red hot handle of the exorbitant sides that we have here in greece it is impossible to imagine that the stripping of say the can be a means by which you would use it so the default was always going to happen as a full speculation rumbles on it's become clear there are fundamental flaws in the

year isn't 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 are being asked to blame little greece and little greece however if you don't think it may have proved in the past and is and never was incapable of spearheading a global financial crisis see just who is to blame for what we are experiencing in greece would be because of financial. and using a new kind of war using the national of you. all of the international financial crime scene deeply past eighteen months the greek government has cut wages rates taxes the g.'s 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. when we first learned that this.

was. one. of the. now over one hundred fifty and the latest report if i remember. series there is going to be next year one. nine so in just two years after all of this for the people. of the economy not to do. big protest and strike action now an almost daily occurrence greek government faces a huge crisis of confidence among its electorates financially in the red politically in the dark greece's population allee's in their patience if greece does the future of the eurozone it's extremely uncertain indeed and many people here feel that not the say it's their country sinking deeper into financial and

economic ruin. are the athens you're with are to you it's good to have your company today coming your way next our very own our people of the world asks his crosstalk whether social prosperity and a strong economy are still pillars of western democracy is a pretty. we have governments that. hinder creation they hinder innovation going to sleep but steve it's not clear to me it's fair to say that it's a very serious. things going to take i'm going to we'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 some commonality that i agree with a high degree with or any other really ends. up here risk go ahead i want richard in new york to go ahead yeah let me just respond to one thing 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 an adult who is pushing them to do what is a very strange logic. and you can catch crosstalk about an hour and twenty minutes but for now russia has launched another satellite into orbit as part of its global navigation project about a go nuts this means the system is now fully operational i can provide global coverage to spread all of the now tells us more about the new arrival to the us produced g.p.s. system. well this is the twenty fourth subtle eye that's been launched as part of the glue in us system twenty four the number the minimum number the grown us needs

to be able to provide full global coverage now we will see four more cloner satellites launched throughout the rest of the next year and not the required amount which they set out to provide the best service to customers they'll be looking to use this now it's been a long old road for blowing us from its first development back in the eighty's as a as a development project by the u.s.s.r. it was then taken over by russia and they've been trying to get it up to speed to make it a valid rival to the g.p.s. system produced in the united states well it has been a rocky road as well just their last december three corner satellites plummeted out of the sky into the pacific ocean now the twenty four satellites are it all but the specialists say the globe and us can provide precise coverage up to six meters on the ground now take this for example with the g.p.s.

technology so they can place you accurately within seven meters the target for glowed us now is to convince consumers and convince manufacturers of products that nice global positioning technologies that glowed us is the one for them and that they should move away from g.p.s. . reporting right now if you're still curious we've got tons of material covering every aspect of the human race to the final frontier both on our website you tube dot com our team from all over the space launches of the last few years to the final missions of the now retired american the space shuttle fleet of course cross all the. way. so much more.

i just passed a quarter an hour past the hour here in moscow tens of thousands marched through the northern english city of manchester in order to protest at austerity cuts to public services and pensions the rally in opposition to the governing coalition organized by trade unions coincided with the ruling conservative party's conference in the city. it was their. and i said that to me that this a thousand people are turning out this march through the streets of london to protest what the coalition government is doing in the way of and you've literally got boots full of people hey you've got the older generation saying hands off pensions you've got to sort of middle age generation you fear that their job

see here around me are calling for a strike on the thirty fifth maybe they calling for a general strike the public sector workers to town leave what i say the government just exactly what it would be like in public to i think didn't in fact show up in the morning say that's what they're planning to do a lot of the biggest scenes in the country right unison yes they have all turned out here today to say we will downfield on the that you did it and unless you promise that you're going to make these deep cuts in public that's a funding that you'll put pay there yet the rules say moving for prime minister david ignatius. is or you stay with us here in our chief business is moments away but for now the world update here will. some other international headlines for you at this hour fighting has resumed in libya's besieged city of sirte and after a two day truce to allow civilians to leave the battlefield expired nato warplanes have carried out new where strikes revolutionary fighters continue their offensive against defiant gadhafi loyalists on the eastern front lines the city is facing

is the 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 those figures purges extending losses from a one to low on concerns slowing us economy and europe's debt which fuels mon's investors expect reports showed manufacturing in the us where the currency some both nights which is trading at just under seventy eight dollars per barrel brant glance is that over one hundred one dollars per barrel. european stocks of cooling shop the monday after the greek government acknowledges the weekend that it missed its deficit targets this year just the other starts in measures. for you here in moscow the markets are trading deeply in the red truck in overseas losses
