nottingham of the russian capital you're watching r t with me rena joshie welcome to the program from new york to boston to los angeles chicago and beyond the occupy wall street protest movement spreads rapidly across the united states thousands half lot of them to the streets demanding and then to the corporate influence on government that activists blame for america's economic turmoil in 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 any your art he's an associate you're going to man some 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 annoyed 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 or the. incarcerated for always and always knows what to do both 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 you have to stir it up to the people who noticed. the mass arrests have

built up popular support for the movement. you know for putting us through some type of abuse because it's hoping you know is bringing more work some have sacrificed 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 other than the important issue. right now this is a big board unnoticed 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. they only have billable way to do it.

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 forever since that r.t.e. new york all the latest and most gripping videos of the protests the rage in new york are available for you twenty four seven on our you tube channel. more news today violence has once again flared up. these are the images. from the streets of canada. operations to rule the day. visit our professor alex might tell you who took part in the new york protests claims they were met with extreme police violence is as the demonstrators ultimate

aim is to achieve change in the political landscape of america. there's a lot of mystery about what's going on down there there's a clear sense the united states that the power of wall street is completely out of control and that they're responsible for an economy and i think young people in particular feel that their futures have been in the markets to pay for the our region salaries and bonuses by these wall street executives they're looking for a long term solutions i don't think they have a set of short term measures that they are peeling through or government to address but i think in large for what they're trying to do is to create a political climate where a number of political actors can start to talk seriously about significant reforms that hopefully can break this kind of corrupt marriage between economic and political elites in the united states. so i have this hour here in our team clash of the titans two russian billionaires take their feud to a one chord as exiled tycoon boris berezovsky seumas former friend ramada bromwich

over a business deal gone sour. the eurozone has postponed a decision on the next release of bailout funds for cash strapped greece now after athens announced it would not be able to me dad containment targets greece desperately needs the next tranche of a billion euros to pay its everything bills and if the money doesn't arrive by minute the country will not be able to pay its debts and may have to declare bankruptcy that's in spite of government efforts to adhere to tough demands by bringing in highly unpopular measures for weeks the country has been hit by angry public protests and strikes our response there further has more details from athens . here on syntagma square that the most 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 this very special they say that the untellable we find ourselves back in a position where people now are really asking this old has been achieved by implementing these are the measures that government has just admitted that it won't be able to me it's deficit reduction targets. throughout the whole usa really about what the implications of that will be the greek government have also moved to measure the thirty thousand civil servants. in the salary for a year. at the end of the year the possibility of dismissal there are great. billion year needed if the country were to stay. here in the crunch it may be trying to hammer out the details. as of now it has to be the. only sure you get that money. will be dealt. with the

police at this point is also about the rest of us a country that indeed the global economy that is live at this leave it alone the fact that people are not. going 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 cut to people who are struggling to pay the taxes and yet the government still seem to be suddenly cut a solution to plug up the deficit in the budget so there are concerns really about the practicality of any of these measures having any effect long so talk about the possibility of quick 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 big concerns really about whether you know it's a needed again to be able to pull the country out of the situation. economists jail's of going on believes the problem stan from a lack of sandro fiscal sorty and that the european central bank should step in to take the lead. the problems go back many years because countries throughout the eurozone. have 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 has 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 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. the seabees 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 u.s. back people remain stricken by poverty are these guys doing child mad human rights groups who say the cod ministry thrives on illegal child labor such is the fear in the eyes of these children do you think they were picking. that up i thought i got out. of this is that. it's. just you know i just don't know how do you. meanwhile on the other side of the world the produce harvested with illegal child

labor is enjoying the glare of flushing cameras were not a crime of a daughter of those bent president is presenting her new collection the forbes magazine ponders on how she's managed to be so commercially successful i graduated from harvard. so it's a very 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. 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 forced child labor was because john produces around one million tonnes of

cotton enough to make one billion to shrink. the cortinas sold abroad except to the sixty plus retailers including levi and they have pledged not to buy cotton because the harvest is so abusive this boycott sends a message to those government that in slaving children is not shake but do not occur the member who is also is black it stands and best suited to the u.n. 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 under john is the bloodiest chapter in president islam karimov steve decades and all this in two thousand fun these forces opened fire on an anti-government demonstration killing five thousand people for all the 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 matthew a princess but all this will stay just words while the war continues in afghanistan gary moore is an important ally 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. to integrate our team. libya's post could offer leaders have a point to tamper a cabinet ministers to govern until a country is fully secured but now member of the national transitional council will be allowed to serve in the elected post revolution government once liberation is complete meanwhile and the t.c. forces have gained control of most of the country but still face fierce resistance in syria body will leave and pockets in the southern desert the former rebels a tampa to launch attacks on the hometown of oust a colonel gadhafi were. battles have dragged on for weeks one eyewitness to the firing told r.t. that civilians are being targeted and killed by the revolutionary forces. can.

involved in an action which is obviously contrary to the un 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 other people that are fighting nato because they may not like it they're free they may not like the nato backed troops it's very interesting that the most advanced 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 as of old can divide up the resources and the future of the libyan people why they're quiet about it the media kind of got bored after the initial explosions and the so-called attack that they're not even reporting the bombing of hospitals in. you want to learn to live from moscow coming up in the program a cell phone video of patients in a russian psychiatric hospital sparks outrage at a lack of care for. raises questions of watch to be done to help them.

two of russia's most prominent tycoons have begun a bitter legal battle in a london court the billionaire owner of chelsea football club or a monitor mob which is being sued by former associate boris berezovsky for a cool five and a half billion dollars r.t.s. lore and it 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 bottom of it 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 russ's region and one of russia's most influential men and then the other hand we've got buddies but it's not ski who is also has had a high political profile in moscow he was a media mogul who then fled to russia and was. awarded asylum here in the u.k.

the russian have made various attempts to extradite him and in fact he's convicted him of embezzlement in absentia so what's happened here is critical to keep claims 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 been he claims that i hope it's essentially calling him out sold more than three billion dollars by intimidation him basically they suggest that he met they met in france and he opposed to be physically intimidated him into selling says in the sit next to an oil company that they had created together with a partner for a fraction of their market by the end a similar thing then also happened which says in a rush and i mean your company a real south. africa which of course his lawyers are saying that that's all life that's you know created any kind of intimidation to place his new documentary into

show it's now this is the case it's not going to be able with quickly we're seeing in the first month that it's also giving his evidence and it's only an early november that abramovich 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. florimond reporting there now let's take a look at some other stories from around the world pakistani police says gunmen have killed twelve shiite muslims in a tarion attack in the country's south west officials say militants on motorbikes stopped the boss on the outskirts of the city of than ordered people out and opened fire on them killing a dozen and wounding six local shiites blogged a main highway to protest the killings and set fire to the bus that carried the dead and wounded to hospital. again it stands president hamid karzai is expected in india for key talks over strategic agreements on security and development aid

karzai says if your mom's after a couple's interior rating relations with pakistan and a series of high profile attacks across the country indian officials have already pledged two billion dollars to get it stands. to the u.s. now where emergency crews have almost completely contained a huge chemical plant fire south of the city of dallas spread quickly through the facility causing a chain of explosions all staff were evacuated along with local residents and students from nearby schools the flames and fumes were so intense that crews had to withdraw for a while to let the blaze burn itself out officials say that initial air quality tests show no evidence of dangerous contamination in the area. a cell phone scandal involving patients at a mental illness institution in an award attendant has again exposed the long lasting issue of psychiatric care in russia low wages and lack of reform are blamed for the problem but way out of the situation is much less clear you may find some

of the images and peter allers report distressing. scenes of psychiatric patients kissing and fighting with each other in a mental health facility in siberia these images were shot by a hospital employee something which has angered local people don't just let the jumo course it's horrible what on earth was he thinking he does people are ill there are people with disabilities how could someone abuse them like that and then it just caught up with an internal investigation found ward attendant blood immutable cut off 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 him 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 defense of book 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 who are behaving this way all by themselves probably because of their mental disorders getting bored 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 pay the orderly 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 or to make money off the patients 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 has been on and off since the late ninety's people make huge plans and it seems like the government allocates 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. 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. well there's all of our news and much more to be found on our website but here's what's in line for you right now. the i.m.f. saw for all the nine billion euro long. a sudden change and where an opposition to
