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 west 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 to. incarcerate him for always and always knows where to do the 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 or. have built up popular support for the movement. you know them

for putting us through some type of abuse because it's hoping you know it's bringing more and more people with some have sacrificed more than hours in jail to fight against wall street and 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 pretty much anything to surface 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. the only billable way to deal with.

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 and so i said sure can ask r.t. new york. all the latest and most gripping videos of the protests the rage in new york are available for you twenty four seven an hour you tube channel. more news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world is seeing from the streets of canada. operations are old. professor alex vitality who took part in the new york protests claims they were met with extreme police violence is that 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 recommend an economy and i think young people in particular feel that their futures have been mortgage to pay for the our ages salaries and bonuses by these wall street executives they're looking for long term solutions i don't think they have a set of short term measures that they are appealing for 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 leaks in the united states. so i add this hour here in our team and the line of fire amassed forces loyal to you levy as new rulers continue their fight for control of the countries of the country to millions will bear the brunt later i

witnesses tell you why do you live in fear of their lives. the eurozone has postponed a decision on the next release of bailout funds for cash strapped greece and i was after athens announced it would not be able to meet death containment targets greece desperately needs the next tranche of eight billion euros to pay everyday bills if the money doesn't arrive by medico worth the country will not be able to pay its dance and may have to declare bankruptcy that's inspired of government efforts to add here to tough e.u. and i.m.f. demands by bringing in highly unpopular measures for weeks the country has been hit by angry public protests and strikes i will respond to sara for of has more details from athens. here on syntagma square the dramatic side of this economic crisis in greece has played out as time and again we've seen people turning up at the pub of the building to protest against the bill that they say

that they unsettle we find ourselves back in a position with people know really all this old has been achieved by implementing these are the measures the government has just admitted that it was 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 brings in measures to put thirty thousand civil servants. in the salary for a year. at the end of the year the possibility of dismissal another oh great. even the. million year needed if the country just a quote it to get in the. maybe trying to hammer out the details of that now has to be the. only sure you get that money because.

the police at this point is also about the rest of us a country and indeed the global economy that is in this league is not one that people know well. 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 were not there 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 was struggling to pay the taxes and yet the government still seem to be such 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 here 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 a year it's a needed again to be able to pull the country out of the situation there firth reporting their economist joseph going to. use problems stem from a lack of central fiscal thought that the european central bank should stab and 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 has come back to bite them now i think at 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 they raise the and 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 that is a really difficult issue i mean the politicians. are worried about bailing out governments that haven't performed well. levy's new rulers have named temporary cabinet ministers to govern the country until it is fully secured meanwhile their forces continue to lay siege to the few remaining could obvious strongholds the national transitional council now controls most of the country but still faces fierce resistance in shared bani walid and pockets in the southern desert after at today's cease fire to allow residents to leave and he forces attempted to further attacks on the oust of colonels hometown of sirte the red cross has warned of a humanitarian disaster as the town is running out of medical supplies food and water one eyewitness to the fighting told r.t. that and i get off the forces are attacking civilian homes as a push to take over the city at any cost. to the lies from those i call

clinton. norm coleman and key words it would be the act two thousand and two in the future. just because he supports it can get past even if you want the statute you have to conclude one to me and you have the green flag they just police officers if you believe. you or two that is not a choice she is not a tough citizen for me since the we cannot use the computers to move into those once happy only to be happy for me and for me to do careful be careful this is the truth to the greatest. author and journalist afshin rattansi says the only point of the libyan campaign is to divide the country's resources between nato allies. 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 other people that are fighting nato because they may not like get a free 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 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 the don't even reporting the bombing of hospitals and. you're watching r.t. coming to you live from moscow and coming up in the program leader help on video of a russian psychiatric hospital sparks outrage at the lack of care for them and

mentally ill and raises questions of what should be done to help them. the former soviet republic i was becky stan is best known as one of the world's largest producers of cotton but while the industry brings the government fortune the people remain stricken by poverty and are very poor its human rights groups say the cotton industry thrives on illegal child labor. such is the fear in the eyes of these children the thing they were picking o.p.m. not cotton. mather is an idea. 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 stan are 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 i did to be mothers are powerless some of them stood up for their kids' protection they were arrested and taken to cotton fields they would be forced to work in the day and would be mass raped at night. would be helpful force child labor was based on 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 tend. not to buy those but cotton because the harvest is so abusive this boycott sends a message to those government that in slaving children is not shake but good inadequate the move was also as 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. 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 governments about six years ago engaged in the disproportionate use of force against mostly peaceful protesters in the eastern city of andijon and the jan is the bloodiest chapter in president islam karimov

still decades in office in two thousand and 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 to spend three years in prison for speaking out after his prosperous business was taken over by the president's people because. he removes family as 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 daughter and murphy a princess but all this will stay just words while the war continues in afghanistan carry more of is an important ally that everyone will close eyes to his crimes. but libya egypt and tunisia where once important allies tune 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. now let's take a look at some other stories from around the world seventeen people were killed in separate gunfire and bomb attacks across iraq the deadliest was almost two hundred kilometers west of baghdad when. gunmen stormed a local government compound and two fourteen hostages the town's mayor and a local police chief were among those captured the violence 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 twenty eleven. pakistani police say gunmen have killed twelve shiite muslims in a sectarian attack in the country's south west officials say militants stopped a bus on the outskirts of the city of quetta and opened fire killing a dozen people and wounding six local shiites blocked

a main highway to protest the killings and set fire to a bus that carried the dead and wounded to hospital. the top u.s. military commander in afghanistan says american troops will still be in the war stricken country even after twenty fourteen and that was the deadline set by nato for the withdrawal of all foreign forces the white house had even promised to have all u.s. troops out by two thousand and fourteen come hell or highwater and there are currently some ninety thousand americans serving in afghanistan this comes as afghan president hamid karzai visits india slamming pakistan for not doing enough to help root out the taliban. to the u.s. now where emergency crews have almost completely contained a huge chemical plant fires south of the city of dallas it spread quickly throughout 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 too for a while rather 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 and award to tan and as again exposed the long running issue of psychiatric care in russia low wages and lack of reform are blamed for the problem but a way out is much less clear and we find some of the pictures in it all of us 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. of course it's horrible what on earth was he thinking those people are there are people with disabilities how could someone abuse them like this. 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 they were 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 bill heard 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. 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 per 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 order least their salaries are incredibly low so you can figure out for yourself what kind of people take that job as 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 under way however experts in the field believe that the stigma still attached to mental illness means that they don't receive enough help. for microwave 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 ill check total washout much of it is because psychiatry has always been a highly controversial issue. the case of law to me

a book out of it's 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 oliver hearty. well you can find all our news stories and much more on our website which is r t dot com and here's what's in line for you right now the i.m.f. offer of a nine billion euro loan to belarus prompts a sudden change of men square and opposition leader was swiftly released from jail plus former vice president dick cheney says he expects barack obama to explain himself and apologize to the bush administration over comments he made in egypt more than two years ago. and on this day the world and heard the space age as the soviet union launched its first ever bartunek.

currencies partly because they don't trust the ruble stability and when there's any hints 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 at standing 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 to transfers reached their highest level in two years equal to four and a half a billion dollars they had a brush 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 banks tight

monetary policy will prevent a further decline the bank has already spent over two billion dollars defending the ruble and is prepared to go further to stabilize the currency analysts we've spoken to say. that is also one space where the prize for recession in europe or the united states it would come out on small because it has learned from its past mistakes. let's have a look at the markets now oil is losing ground up to dropping to the lowest in more than a year on monday concerns about global demand dumps. reports on u.s. manufacturing and construction spending brant blend is trading at one hundred one dollars per about old w sky as it around seventy seven dollars per barrel and asian she has continued to point down words financial then exporters a losing them and growing concerns about you would step troubles still makers are also notably weaker would have holdings down four percent on steel corporation losing two point eight percent in tokyo in hong kong shares of steel lost over five
