protesters continue to gather on the streets of new york following saturday's brutal showdown on brooklyn bridge that saw more than seven hundred people arrested the movement called occupy wall street as promising more marches against corporate greed and social inequality are these modern aport maya caught up with the some of those involved. a new season in a different nation the arab spring has become america's auto and on saturday new york's brooklyn bridge reminded many of a scene from egypt to here square. nearly 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 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 and many didn't believe that there would be another dramatic congregation this weekend after what happened last weekend after four women were pepper sprayed 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 though i am no reports of pepper spray being used there were thousands of people stopped and hundreds arrested arrested activists 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 agreed to be arrested any more. the whole enjoy 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 aims to raise national awareness and change america's economic disparity occupy wall street describes itself as a resistance movement inspired in part by counter we can follow. the leader of our brothers and sisters all over the world the arab 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 getting up and 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 its corporate president and we

were told obama was for. four more you know maybe four years old billy. bush. before that his father the bush dynasty i mean corporate greed goes all the way up to the president i think this is where the the are going to be impulsive it starts out wall street it is true that these demonstrators come here with a variety of different messages but what is uniting about what unifies them is a growing frustration over the u.s. economy 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 important part see here. and on our website our t. dot com are interested in your opinion on the occupy wall street protesters and so far the majority believe we're witnessing america's own arab spring about a quarter consider the protesters victims of police repression thirteen percent think they are over. the rent a crowd agents and

a minority feel they're nothing more than troublemakers to lock up the already dot com and have your say. sara flounders from the activist group international action center says the us is preaching democracy around the world while forgetting about the rights of its own people. this is really a police effort to shut down mass descent here is the us government that claims to speak for democracy all over the world while dropping bombs on people in many many countries and here at home when people are involved in democratic protests and demonstrations against the domination of wall street representing really the interests of the vast majority of people the latest polls today's show that seventy five percent of the population is sympathetic to these protests. later in the day artie's peter lavelle and his cross star gas discuss who if anyone is influencing the decisions taken by the governments here's a preview. government. is not doing what its public wanted doing what its interest

groups want at the moment those interest groups are the labor unions and this person or a big corporation it's ok's with. labor unions are usually right when it's an actual steve go ahead steve. what an extraordinary mr belcher amnesia here let's remember one simple fact right in the united states today in the private sector that dominates our economy six point nine percent of workers are represented by a trade union ninety three and point one percent of our working class in the private sector has no union to explain government policy based on the union movement as tiny and powerless as this is a fantasy. as the forces in libya continue their siege of the fugitive colonel's two remaining

strongholds we spoke to an eyewitness a matter of bani walid who asked to be identified as around see escape to the capital tripoli three days ago well he said nato now is bombing indiscriminately. very very very tenuous. at the beginning it was bombing only the military prepared but right now they are not true between the military and. people who are covering you know. water. the water and i did when i did come knocking to come back but the food with me thinking there are too many people. i am one of my member. you are today. also ahead for you this hour what the palestinian statehood bid at the u. . it's really about party asks that now behind it mahmoud abbas who says he's challenging the existence of israeli settlements not the whole of the zero. history

falls victim to political correctness in france with fears of the younger generation might lose that sense of national identity look at what patients are being removed from textbooks and why. their greece has admitted it's still not able to deal with its deficit and the key demand of its international creditors well that's even taking into account mass layoffs announced on sunday and a new round of austerity cuts which still need parliament's approval. looks at just where this now puts the embattled nation. well greece now default that's the million dollar question or to be more exact the four hundred fifty billion a year a question. that greece now is about could never be let's be serious you think about greece could never pay four hundred fifty billion euros of government there you need to be if you would or or i don't know what to believe

something like the greek government is running out of options they can keep trying to impose the state to start the measures that would likely lead to more of the violent clashes the same between riot police and protesters and the last weeks and months or they can instead choose to default the year is a new leaders have insisted that default is not an option they're concerned that work least a decent 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 the from here of the cards has been on the cards now for a year and a half or two have been on the cards because when you have a dead holder of the exorbitant size but we have here in greece it is impossible to imagine that the state here we can be a means by which you can reduce it 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 and operation i think europe's citizens have the right to know what the causes are at the moment they are being deflected from the real causes and they are 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 today it is a financial and. using new kind of war. financial crimes for the past eighteen months the greek government has cut wages raise taxes just pensions and in return receive 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. first.

of. over fifty. nine so in just two years after all of this for the people. of the economy. with protests and strike action now an almost daily occurrence greek government faces a huge crisis of confidence amongst its electorate financially in the red politically in the dark greece's population leasing their patience if greece does the folk the future of the year is saying look six string me uncertain indeed that many people here feel but not to be say is to risk their country sinking deeper into financial and economic ruin. athens and the people not all

says that as long as greece is part of the eurozone it will continue to suffer because of political decisions. basically the money is going to pay off debt but the problem is they're not reducing the debt and it's it's interesting a little should never have been allowed to get into the order in the first place they broke so many rules their own rules to get greece in because this was all about politics it wasn't about economics and i feel very very sore for the greek people the only way that the greek people who get back on their feet again is to come out of the order all together and look it will be the end of the world for greece argentina was the last major countries to fall to in two thousand and one between two thousand and one and two thousand and six argentina's economy grew by sixty five percent that is the answer to greece if you poll a poll that these people are being made to suffer because of ideological decisions that were taken many miles away in brussels ten years ago. russia has launched

another go on us navigation satellite into orbit bringing the total number to twenty four well it means it now has the same global coverage as the widely used g.p.s. system r.t. spitter oliver has the details. well this is the twenty fourth subtle eye that's being launched as part of the glue in us system twenty four the number the minimum number the glowing 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 of 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 glowing 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 do g.p.s. system produced in the united states now it has been

a rocky road as well just there last december three grown our satellites plummeted out of the sky into the pacific ocean now twenty four satellites are in orbit at least specialists say that glowed 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 gload us now is to convince consumers and convince manufacturers of products that need global positioning technologies that glowed us is the one for them and that they should move away from g.p.s. . well if you're eager to discover more on trips into the final frontier log on to the special section dedicated to space exploration on our website well i've also got plenty of spectacular footage that you thought r.t. slash dot com slash or take off on the final missions of the now retired american space shuttle fleet to mysterious but if you oppose our you tube channel should be

here's a preview. of in the moment that we do not want to challenge the legitimacy of the state of israel israel is of granite state and we have recognized the arab peace initiative had been adopted fifty seven arab and islamic states would have followed suit and recognized israel and that means that we support the existence of the state of israel and do not want to challenge its legitimacy or seek its own salacious the only thing that we want to challenge and the legitimacy of the policy of the legitimacy of israeli settlers. this is all right. now whether they realize it or not french school pupils are learning a serious lesson in the power of political correctness across the country parents and teachers are enraged by some important pages of france's history being removed

well welcome to business the south thanks for joining me the recent spike in economic uncertainty has resulted in a heavy sell off in the russian market fears of risk has been hitting it even harder than other emerging markets and course we far from token dollar believes that that's too too structural weakness in the country's economy. we have a relatively weak domestic economic base compared to other big emerging markets are just we are much more vulnerable to a global recession because of the potential weakness in the oil price and the prices and demand for other commodities and the second reason why we see more volatility is because russia doesn't have a strong enough domestic capital base. you know because we don't yet have you know extensive structured pension funds and unstructured sitting schemes rise is the case in most other markets we are very reliant on foreign capital flows to a much greater extent than those are emerging markets so when there is any reason
