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 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 ignored and marginalized this artist and activist has been arrested twice i didn't expect to be arrested and so to get beat by the police it is like to get locked in incarcerated for always and always knows with a will 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. 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 it's hope. you know it's bringing more working with some have sacrificed more than hours in jail to fight against wall street and many people have quit their jobs have come here that's already happened to corporate media we three into the camp outside our 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 a truly body odor and you're and they're more concerned with. brainwashing people american idol or sports drama and pretty much anything to surge attraction other than the important issue right now this is a bit of a notice what a corporate and political elite it's tougher than ever for those again. it's the

system to get attention with even some police officers ready to admit this protest is the way. it's the only. 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 and that's it you're going off r t new york. meantime professor alex mythology who actually took part in a new york street protest claims they were met with extreme police violence he says demonstrators ultimate aim is to achieve change in the political landscape of america. but there's not a lot of mystery about what's going on down near there's a clear sense the united states that our wall street is clearly out of control and that they are responsible for an economy and i think young people in particular with their futures and mortgage to pay for the outrageous salaries and bonuses by these wall street executives you're looking for a long term solutions i don't think they have short term measures and who are

government to address i think in large or what they're trying to do is to create a political climate where a number of political actors can start to talk seriously about reforms that hopefully can break this kind of kuo marriage between economic and political elites in our. all right so now your chance to get involved to an r.t. without going on to the streets of the big apple there we're always keen to know your opinions and today subject the poll and the survey now here on r.t. at the protest wave that's raging through new york who do you think are the participants if you are a look onto our web site r.t. dot com you can take part in our latest poll let's have a look at the numbers right now and again we're asking who are the activists in this so-called occupy wall street movement so far the popular response is that they are america's only arab spring some of you also say they are victims of police repression that's the view that comes second and some say they're just a rent a crowd agents or just a bunch of troublemakers to make sure you can't have both go online and counter for

today. but i still have you this hour here on r.t. in the line of fire as forces loyal to libya's new rulers continue their fight for control of the country it's civilians who bear the brunt but later i witnesses tell us why they live in fear for their lives. eurozone finance chiefs once again a push back of a final decision over the release of bailout funds for cash strapped in greece so this time until november that was after athens announced it would be unable to meet its debt containment markets and greece desperately needs the next tranche of eight billion euros to pay its everyday bills if the money doesn't arrive by mid october the country won't be able to pay its debts 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 the highly unpopular austerity measures so weak the country

has been hit by angry public protests and strikes. sarah first has more from the greek capital. we'll be here all the syntagma square the most dramatic side of this economic crisis in greece has been played out as time and again we've seen people putting out of the parliament building the protest against the sigil stairs measures they say to be unsuitable we find ourselves back in a position where people now really are this old has been achieved by implementing these assassinations the government has just a little bit once been a me it's tough to separate the good. old usa really about what the implications of that will be because many of also things imagine that thirty thousand people cybill only a little made of the dutch in the salary for you. at the end of the year the possibility of dismissal another way to send the boys what do you think that.

and hearing needed if the country were to stay up late actually quote it to care in the culture that may be trying to hammer out the details of that now has to be such that. it will be only should you get that money. could be dealt. with at least at this point is also about the best to you as a cause and indeed the global economy that is misleading not a lot of people only are not well. come up with realistic solutions to the country out of the situation that has been criticism from some of the analysts we spoke to a lot they say that we see job losses least in the cut wages and pensions these are people who no longer be able to pay cuts to people who are still going to pay to top it and yet the government still seem to be such

a solution like the big deficit in the budget so there are concerns really about the practicalities of any of these measures. having any effect lulls at all about the possibility of politics and as we said a lot of public anger at the people here he feels that their lives are being played in the situation there is simply a kind of love that they can't live with the concerns really about whether you know if they needed a gang to be able to pull the country out of the situation. right there what i mean time investment advisor patrick young says that the e.u. needs to act much more quickly on the greek crisis if indeed it hopes to remain intact essentially the european union are trying to take fiscal control of greece because they think that's the only way they can actually control the crisis and you know what they're probably right but probably is the only way to get the crisis under control if they're going to try and keep greece within the euro zone the european union is too slow in doing it there's too little leadership and there is

a pig headed increment insurance particularly amongst the finance ministers but there's specially amongst the leaders of the european union asians in terms of understanding that they needed to move a lot faster on this crisis they still need to move much faster and ultimately time is running out because greece is leading the contagion that is going to kill the euro by the end of the year if we don't see positive and rough production realistically that action means that greece needs to leave the euro because the problem is we cannot leave citizens of the european union to starve to death because it suits a troika of international lenders. ten minutes past the hour here in the russian capital with. libya's new rulers have named temporary cabinet ministers to govern the country until it is fully secure i mean while their forces continue to lay siege to the few remaining khadafi strongholds of the national transitional council

now controls most of the country but still faces fierce resistance in sirte and bani walid and pockets in the southern gaza after a two day ceasefire to allow residents to leave t.c. forces attempted further attacks on the outer colonel's hometown of sirte where the red cross has one of a humanitarian disaster as the town is running out of medical supplies food and water but one eyewitness to the fighting told us that anti kadafi forces are attacking civilian homes as they push to take over the city at any cost. can. act. we're. acting out. because. if you don't. have. any.

predator you think the only. thing you cannot. with r.t. now afghan president hamid karzai begins a two day visit to india to sign strategic agreements which could potentially raise tensions with neighboring pakistan if allas a statement by karzai accusing islam about of playing a quote double sided game in the fight against terrorism or more let's talk with. a professor and vice dean of the school of international affairs. and i thank you for joining us today so karzai and his nato allies have been unable to stop the taliban over the last ten years what kind of help do you think india can offer given the current circumstances. in years to be largely blended development it's

been providing all kinds of assistance towards infrastructure growth and clearly communications and rules and. and really with and so on and health so it's really you could call it. in terms. it's one of the largest by local dollar store when you start so he has been doing that for a long time but actually managed to create a new dent in the threat of spores by the taliban. not at all clear in five years chosen projects that are meant constrained in regional alliances which are formed in such a weird the. menace i'm sorry if i don't jump in if i'm going to apologize for interrupting you but you say that a lot of the possible of potential help from india will be based on helping to develop infrastructure in afghanistan but if it's as simple as that then why are we getting reports that islamic art and pakistan are. basically object to india

getting involved they say that this is a threat by india that it basically causes a regional instability but it is just infrastructure why the concern. yeah but it's because this is a carry forward of the india pakistan dispute into another neighboring country and all that is going to sign is part of sark which is the south asian regional organization. believes their indian encroachment and influence will deny what its military planners have always considered to be strategic depth in afghanistan and therefore the object to be infrastructural interventions that in years making but now i think regardless was it the game's going to change some war and india is forced by the region circumstances to actually think about playing a more proactive security in afghanistan and the talk is that the partnership agreement that president will sign while he's on this today a trip will eventually lead to. a more proactive role in creating the afghan

security forces and i think the indians realize that over time what has happened is that if he keeps pressing the pedal off soft aid it will be insufficient but at the same time there's a lot of resistance in india to a full fledged military intervention which has been made in some quarters for various reasons for one being it could lead to one popular resistance against what could be seen as really in forces and secondly he doesn't have the stomach for a kind of a full fledged deployment of ground for such as you would insert to the people if you can it's a very it's a fair amount of resistance as you say even though there are small belts of people in the indian authorities who are saying you know it could be a full scale intervention that india going into afghanistan although as you say it seems very very unlikely so india helps to rebuild and to build infrastructure in afghanistan that could be some of the potential role also as you were mentioning a moment ago that india could help to train afghan security forces but correct me if i'm wrong the american troops are staying till two thousand and fourteen they're

happening and will continue to train afghan e troops isn't that america's job and not india's. you know. on even russia all these neighboring countries in africa are going to be a lot of us are going to stand in front of the need to get greater responsibility because they have been free riding me in many ways on the u.s. is contributions and as we know the domestic situation the united states is such that the drawdown could be sooner rather than later if we're not even how do eight hundred twenty four being if the presidential fortunes of obama are continue going down so bringing the troops back home could become a very urgent situation so in the uk is there is a likelihood of all of a power vacuum and then you have to call the regional actors sort of comes together in fact i've been arguing that why do we need to have international conferences on the future of afghanistan or in london why not have it in moscow or in there are not in new delhi we are all the parties come together we've had these big jumbo read of seventy eighty countries that are involved in many ways gathering in

western capitals it is not yielded very much in terms of changing the security realities on the ground and here for i will be drawn to russia and your comments ability apologize for interrupting you again please to forgive me but you have written as you were just saying there as well that you are proposing a moscow terror on a new delhi axis the going to help to bring regional security there that you mentioned tehran in this axis now with america having been in afghanistan with america saying we're going to stay beyond two thousand and fourteen how do you see that working because tehran and washington and exactly the best of friends. that's right but you know all pragmatic realities declared that they have to come together on this issue if you look at books for example by trita parsi called treacherous alliance he's actually looked at periods of iran united states relations even after the islamic revolution of nineteen seventy nine where they have cooperated on pragmatic issues and the same has to happen if they want to avoid a geopolitical exhaustion which is not and which is going to pakistani intelligence

services and by the taliban who are sunni fundamentalists and which is to the detriment of iran's own security i think you know afghanistan's been called the graveyard of empires it can also become a great meeting please for a very unlikely friends iran the united states have shown this pragmatic streak in the past and it is possible to overcome the ideological divides the other reason why iran and united states can use of going to stand as a leading role is because israel is not directly involved in the afghan conflict unlike you rance engagement on the other side to its western side in the middle east in central and south asia israel is not really a big factor and therefore i think the ideological arguments against iran can be watered down in washington. so when it comes to creative it's winter auditioner do you see for example you say that when it comes to pragmatic partnerships the political sidestepping and political propaganda stuff can actually be put to the side and a pragmatic pragmatic relationship can't work i'm afraid that's all we have time for doctors through i'm sorry i would love to talk to you further your professor

and vice dean of the jindal school of international affairs many thanks indeed. or you can find all of our new stories and much more on our website that's r.t. top qanbar some of the items waiting for you there are right now a whole new easy for you russia's prime minister vladimir putin has published an article outlining a plan to build the eurasian union to become a single economic entity. the former vice president dick cheney says he expects barack obama to explain himself and the polish. as to the bush administration of the comments he made in egypt more than two years ago. today the world entered the space age as the soviet union launched its first ever spoke.
