chicago and beyond the occupy wall street protest movement spreads rapidly across the united states thousands half lot of them to the streets demanding an end to the corporate influence on government that activists blame for america's economic turmoil and the big apple where the protests began hundreds have been arrested but the activists still plan more demonstrations which are supported by nationwide workers' unions and york artie's nice to see and met some angry americans who say civil disobedience is the only way to get their message across. taking the big apple by storm. getting arrested by the hundreds. getting netted and pepper sprayed in the face. spending night and day on the far from welcoming streets of the financial district. that's the price these demonstrators are paying to get their outrage across to those holding reins of financial and political power common americans who make up most of this country who don't have access to

corporate power and the media don't have many options to get their voices heard those who take specific steps fight for change in the u.s. are largely getting ignored and marginalized this artist and activist has been arrested twice i didn't expect to be arrested i didn't expect to get beat by the police i didn't expect to get locked incarcerated for always and always knows. good cause and for this movement. ignored for the first two weeks of occupying wall street the peaceful movement started taking tougher measures by getting bigger and louder the only way to get the media to notice is to be disobedient. to the people who noticed. the mass arrests have built up popular support for the movement. you know them for putting us through some for abuse because. you know it's bringing more work some have. feist more than hours in jail to fight against

wall street many people have quit their jobs that have come here that's already happened the corporate media week three into the campout cy there does not pay much attention here the sunday front pages of some of america's most read newspapers or ridicules both the form and the substance of the gathering it is equal parts but truly body odor and you're and they're more concerned with. brainwashing people american idol or sports drama and pretty much anything to serve as attraction rather than the important issue. right now this is a biggie for a noticed by the corporate and political elite it's tougher than ever for those against the system to get attention with even some police officers ready to admit this protest is the way you know that's. the only billable way to do what i do in the occupy wall street movement promises to grow in the months to come and history shows that the voice of the people can't be neglected for ever since the r.t.e.

new york. all the latest and most gripping videos of the protests the rage and new york are available for you twenty four seven on our you tube channel. four news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. showing corporations rule the day. they anti-corporate protests across the u.s. have attracted some unexpected sympathy from one of the richest people in the country prominent entrepreneur george soros said that massive bank bailouts have left some americans in the gutter. actually i can understand their

sentiments frankly. because. a lot of people for instance are running small businesses who saw their credit card charges being raised from a close and twenty percent. and seen they were relying on that credit to run their businesses not a lot of them actually were put out of business and the same time the decision not to inject capital into the banks but to effectively. relieve them of their bad assets and then allow them to earn their way out of out of a hole. gave the banks. profits and that allowed them to pay. bonuses as they see i can sympathize

with you even says. and still ahead this hour here in our clash of the titans two russian billionaires take their few to a london court tycoon boris berezovsky former friend ramana abramovich over a business deal gone sour. the eurozone has postponed a decision on the next release of bailout funds for cash strapped greece that was after athens announced it would not be able to me debt containment targets greece desperately needs the next tranche of eight billion euros to pay its everyday bills if the money doesn't arrive by medic tobar of the country will not be able to pay to dad's and may have to declare bankruptcy and that's in spite of government efforts to adhere to tough e.u. and i.m.f. demands by bringing in highly unpopular stary measures for weeks the country has been hit by angry public protests and strikes correspondent sara first has more

details from athens. here on syntagma square that the more dramatic side of this economic crisis in greece has played out as time and again we've seen people turning up the part of the building to protest against the civilians there explicitly they say that the untellable we find ourselves back in a position with people now a really are just old has been achieved by implementing these are the measures that the government has just admitted that it won't be able to me it's tough deficit reduction targets. the whole usa really about what the implications of that will be the greek government have also proved that most of the thirty thousand civil servants. that in the end of the dutch in the salary for a year. at the end of the year the possibility of dismissal there are great. even the. million year needed if the country to stay late

actually quoted here in the cockpit that maybe china. hammer out the details of that now has to be the. only sure you get that money. will be dealt. with about the police at this point it's also about the rest of your take on things and indeed the global economy that is that this is not a number one a fact that people only know where to go to be able to come up with realistic solutions to get the country out of the situation that has been criticism from some of the analysts we spoke to you here and they said that we've seen job losses we've seen the cut wages and pensions these are people who no longer be able to pay cuts to people who is struggling to pay the taxes and yet the government still seem to be some sort of a solution to plug up the deficit in the budget so there are concerns really about

the practicalities of any of these measures having any effect little so talk about the possibility of default and as we said still a lot of public anger at the people bill that the laws are being put in a situation that is simply untenable that they can't live with the concerns really about whether a year it's a need is going to be able to pull the country out of the situation. so first reporting there an economist joseph going on believes the problem stand from a lack of central fiscal authority and that the european central bank should step in to take the lead. the problems go back many years because countries throughout the eurozone. had large budget deficits that they were not supposed to be able to run under a monetary union but they were allowed to run and of course it's come back to bite them i think each step along the way the europeans have resisted moving to a central fiscal authority common taxing and spending decisions and they've

resisted but they've done just enough to get by the time raise the ante raise the amount the pot but it's still not quite enough and the e.c.b. right now is the only institution that has the potential to step in and fix things if they want to but it's a really difficult issue i mean the politicians. are worried about bailing out governments that haven't performed well the former soviet republic it was back to stan is best known as one of the world's largest producers of cotton but while the industry brings the government a fortune the people of his back to stand remain stricken by poverty are met human rights groups would say the cotton industry thrives on illegal child labor. such is the fear in the eyes of these children being they were picking opium not cotton but i bet i got. was that. the. magic.

of magic and i do you sent us there. meanwhile on the other side of the world the produce harvested with illegal child labor is enjoying the glare of flashing cameras will not occur the mother daughter of those bed president is presenting her new collection of forbes magazine pointers on how she's managed to be so commercially successful i graduated from harvard. so it's a really good score you know in terms of you know giving you good grades the tools of a spec you stone our children as young as seven to work an average of seventy hours a week instead of going to school and an education is not the only thing they're missing out on with no heating proper bats were drinking water. to be mothers are powerless some of them stood up for their kids protection they were

arrested taken to cotton fields they would be forced to work in the day and would be mass raped at night. with a helpful force child labor was because john produces around one million tonnes of cotton enough to make one billion t. shirts the cortinas sold abroad except to the sixty plus retailers including levi and they have pledged not to buy those but cotton because the harvest is so abusive there's one quote sends a message to those government that enslaving children is not shake but good not occurred the mobile was also was black it stands and best suited to the un and the deputy foreign minister refutes the claims and she was also outraged when. new york fashion week banned her collection from the catwalks two weeks ago but human rights groups applauded. it was a terrible message for the fashion industry to be sending that they would lend

a high profile platform to the senior official of one of the world's most repressive governments the government about six years ago engaged in the disproportionate use of force against mostly peaceful protesters in the eastern city of andijon and it jan is the bloodiest chapter in president islam karimov still decades in office in two thousand five is forces opened fire on an anti-government demonstration killing five thousand people or other so-called dissidents jail sentences are common behind you spent three years in prison for speaking out after his prosperous business was taken over by the president's people do not. carry most family is an organized criminal mob all sectors of the economy profitable businesses are under his control if you go to wiki leaks you'll see that the u.s. ambassador calls karim and murphy

a princess but all this will stay just words while the war continues in afghanistan gary moore is an important ally there and everyone will close our eyes to his crimes. but leaving egypt and tunisia where once important allies to however the arab spring showed just how quickly things can change so what today appears to be nothing more than a failed fashion show tomorrow become a failed state swept away by those silenced for too long. he fit in a grouch over our t.v. . libya's post gadhafi leaders have a point a temporary cabinet ministers to govern the country until it is fully secured most of fabio giulio hat of the national transitional council also said. he would step down once liberation was complete meanwhile anti sea forces have gained control of most of the country but still face fierce resistance in sharing bani walid and pockets in the southern desert mediterranean coastal city of sirte has been

completely surrounded by the former rebels and their three week long tam to take control of the town one eyewitness to the fighting told r.t. that civilians are being targeted and killed by the revolutionary forces. the lies from the rebels i have a couple of clinton. and you know i'm coming into the work that would be actually found the truth in that if you. just because he supported and look at how he does if you want the statute you have to keep the police along to me and you have. it just so we have all the charge if you believe these people are suffering due. to this is not the truth it is no we actually ask our citizens in the same city we cannot. be convinced to buddhism goes on actually to the iraqi farming system and careful the care about this yesterday to today to.

the dire situation and seared in bani walid is being ignored by the media and that's the view of author and journalist option or tonsil. this is what nato are involved in an action which is obviously contrary to the u.n. resolution which is supposedly mandated to go in and overthrow the government of gadhafi we're getting reports of electric torture electric shock torture being used by these revolutionaries who exactly are the people that are fighting nato because they may not like gadhafi they may not like the nature of troops it's very interesting that the most advanced arsenal in the world of nato is six months on and they still haven't won the country this is all about the idea that these great powers can divide up the resources and the future of the libyan people why they're quiet about it the media kind of go forward after the initial explosions and the so-called attacks they don't even reporting the bombing of hospitals and so of

course the today is approaching. and watching live from moscow still to come on the program we reported widely of patients and russian psychiatric ward anger and manny but also raises more questions about the people who care for the ill. to russia's most prominent tycoons have begun a bitter legal battle in a london court the billionaire owner of chelsea football club. is being sued by former associate board for cool five and a half billion dollars has the details. well this is a really extraordinary story and what we're talking about here are two of britain's richest men and as you say this is a case that involves around five and a haul billion dollars we've got i'm on a mortgage on the one hand he's become a household name in this country of course we all know him as the owner of chelsea football club and he's also the former governor of the region and one of russia's

most influential men and then the other hand we've got buddies but it's also he who is also has had a high political profile in moscow he was immediate local who then fled to russia and was. awarded asylum here in the u.k. russia have made various attempts to extradite him and in fact convicted him of embezzlement and in absentia so what's happened here is critical to keep claiming that the two were friends but that the friendship of the partnership collapsed when he says wealth and influence became more important for a whole which than loyalty have he claims that i hope that you sense he called him out sold more than three billion dollars by intimidation him basically they suggest that he met they met in france and he possibly physically intimidated him into selling shares in the sit next to an oil company that they had created together with a third partner for a fraction of them all five years and a similar thing then also happened which says in

a russian aluminum company of real style. which of course his lawyers are saying that that's all lies that there's absolutely no proof that any kind of intimidation took place his new documentary to show it's now this is the case that's not going to get anywhere with quickly we're seeing in the first month that it's also giving his evidence and it's only an early november that grandma which will take the stand and say what he's got to say so we're expecting this case to last at least twelve weeks if not longer so it's really brought a battle between two enormous russian tycoons into the court here in london. now let's take a look at some other stories from around the world and seventeen people were killed and. gunfire and bomb attacks across iraq the deadliest assault happened almost two hundred kilometers west of baghdad when gunmen stormed a local government compound and took fourteen hostages the town's mayor and a local police chief were among those captured while and has reportedly increased in iraq as officials in the country prepare to take over after the proposed departure of u.s. troops by the end of two thousand and eleven. afghan president hamid karzai accused

islamabad of playing a double sided game in the fight against militants declining interest in the talks of pakistan must continue karzai has vowed to focus on relations with the lamb of god following the killing on september twentieth peace envoy dean rabbani whose murder was linked by investigators to pakistan providing was a meeting of with taliban groups on behalf of the afghan government meanwhile violence continues in pakistan where government killed twelve shiite muslims in what appeared to be terry an attack. to the u.s. now where a fire fires have almost contained a huge fire at a chemical plant south of the city of dallas and spread quickly throughout the facility causing a chain of explosions all staff were evacuated along with local residents and students from nearby schools officials say that initial air quality tests show no evidence dangerous contamination in the area. a cell phone scandal

involving patients at a mantle illness institution is barred the long lasting issues of psychiatric institutions in russia low wages and a lack of reforms are blamed for the problem but the way out of the situation is not quite clear you may find some of the images in p. all of us report distressing. are scenes of psychiatric patients kissing and fighting with each other in a mental health facility in siberia these images was shot by a hospital employee something which is good. local people don't just let the jumo course it's horrible what on earth was he thinking those people are ill there are people with disabilities how could someone abuse them like this and then it just popped up with an internal investigation found ward attendant blood immutable was the man behind the camera he's now being dismissed from his position but insists that he didn't force the patients to take part nevertheless questions have been

raised regarding the ethics of filming ill people in this way showing people kissing and i turned on the camera and captured it i wanted to delete the footage but i guess i forgot and how the media got hold of the footage is a mystery to me that others have leapt to the defensive because of saying people have been too quick to point the finger of blame but. you don't see the attendant provoking or forcing the patients to do all those things the furniture merely features patients for the ward corba haven this way all by themselves probably because of their mental disorders. ward attendance in psychiatric hospitals like this one and not paid very well in rural areas wages can be as low as one hundred dollars for a month. is russia's representative to the world psychiatric association with over fifty years of experience he believes that low wages can draw the wrong people to work in hospitals. it's all

a matter of how much you paid your lease their salaries are incredibly low so you can figure out for yourself what kind of people take that job is some cases they're shady individuals who seek to gratify their base instincts to make money off the patients with attempts to put right the wrongs in mental health care are on the way however experts in the field believe that the stigma still attached to mental illness means that they don't receive enough help. reform up or away it's reform has been on and off since the late ninety's people make huge plans and it seems like the guy. allocate substantial funds but what comes out of it is zilch a total washout much of it is because psychiatry has always been a highly controversial issue. the case of blood to me a book is currently in the hands of law enforcement officials they're trying to determine if there's enough evidence to press ahead with criminal proceedings should be charged with abusing those in his care he could face up to three months

in jail peter older marty. and it's time now to take a look what's happening in business karina's here. hello welcome to our business boards and thanks for joining me economic uncertainty has investors staying away from risky assets and in russia it has people preparing for the worst russians are rushing to sell the world will as it gets weaker but as business parties money in acosta reports the situation is more a reflection of ill informed panic on the current economic and part. switching your savings from and national currency to a foreign one may seem like a sign of panic but that's not the case in russia since the ninety's when hyperinflation made it impossible to put prices in rubles many people use the euros and he was dollars instead lots of russians still have their savings in foreign currencies partly because they don't trust the ruble stability and when there's any

hint of financial turbulence people rush to convert which is what's happening now but analysts say that's making the situation worse the ruble weekend against the dollar extending its worst quarterly depreciation in suv years it's lost fourteen percent in the past two months but it's nowhere near the two thousand and nine financial crisis when the russian currency it lost a third of its value last month that transfers reached their highest level in two years equal to four and a half a billion dollars the head of russia essential bank says of the ruble has been in the gradual devaluation for about two months and will bounce back soon others suggest the problem is russia's lack of net capital inflows since the crisis began and a fully domestically funded banking sector analysts are hoping the bank's tight monetary policy will prevent a further decline the bank has already spent over two billion dollars the bend in

the ruble and its prepared to go further to stabilize the currency analysts we've spoken to say that if the show was faced with the fast recession in europe or the united states it would come out on small because it has learned from its past mistakes. let's take a look at the markets now oil is losing ground after dropping to the lowest in more than a year on monday concerns about global demand trumped a big report on u.s. manufacturing and construction spending a grand blend is trading at almost one hundred one dollars from barrel while regular guy and it around. seventy six and a half told. the nation extend steep losses from the previous session financials and exporters are losing them a growing concern about europe's debt troubles in japan more holdings down three point three percent for me to be she financial group dropping a half a percent hong kong's listed banks however managed to trade mostly higher with modest gains. china march. and two hours ahead of the opening bell in moscow
