it's just after nine pm here in the russian capital you're watching our t.v. now fury over corporate power in the u.s. is spreading from new york across the country thousands of joy the occupy wall street movement to anger by the economic slump as well as the role of big business in it well hundreds of demonstrators have been arrested but artie's and to see a choking of reports america's mainstream media has been largely ignoring the rapidly growing movement. 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
1:02 pm
most of this country who don't have access to corporate power and the media don't have many options to get their way since her those who take specific steps to 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 i didn't expect to get beat by the police i didn't expect to get locked up incarcerated for four hours and i was now as to where i would say do that for both good cause of 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 yet the stir it up to the people who noticed. the mass arrests have built up popular support for the movement. you know them for putting us through some type of abuse because it's hope. you know it's bringing more work you will. some have sacrificed more than hours in jail to
1:03 pm
fight against wall street many people have quit their jobs have come here that's already happened the corporate media week three into the campout either 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 marry good night sports drama pretty much anything to serve as a traction rather than the important issue. right now this is a big of 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 to the only. way to do what i imagine 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 the r.t.e.
1:04 pm
new york's greece has once again been left hanging well this time until mid november here's our ministers have pushed back a decision on handing over more bailout cash lothians has admitted it won't meet deficit deadlines despite crippling cuts but the greek finance minister has said that the nation can't wait another month for rescue r.t. sarah for a reports from the assertive capital athens has been here all the syntagma square that the motor must take side of this economic crisis singly has played out its time and again we've seen people turning up outside the part of the building to protest against the severe austerity measures they say that they untenable we find ourselves back in a position with people now a really big just waltz has been achieved by implementing these are steps the measures to flee government custom it's a good way to be able to me it's tough deficit reduction target. throughout the whole. you know you say really about what the implications of that will be the
1:05 pm
greek government have also approved a measure to put thirty thousand civil servants. that'll mean of the dutch in in the salary for a year. at the end of the year the possibility of dismissal there are great. what do you think that. really and hearing needed if the country were to stay if labor tree quote it to care in the cockpit that may be trying to hammer out the details of that now it has to be said at this stage it will be only should you get that money because. that would be felt. bad for greece at this point it's also bad for the rest of the eurozone countries in a day with global economy that is that it this would have a lot of people are really asking now whether the euro is a need is it 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
1:06 pm
spoke into here in athens they said that we've seen these job losses we've seen the cuts in wages and pensions of these are people who no longer be able to pay cuts to people who are struggling to pay the taxes and yet the government still seem to be subtlest touch based solution to plug the big deficit in the budget so there are concerns really about the practicalities of any of these measures having any effect we'll also talk about the possibility of default take and as we said still a lot of public anger at the people did he feel that their lives are being put in a situation that is simply untenable that they called live with so we can see more of that strike action that we've seen so much over the last year or so happening against my big concerns really about whether a year it's a need is a going to be able to pull the country out of the situation now libya's new rulers have named a new cabinet to govern the country until it's fully secured the national transitional council. now controls most of the country but there are still pockets of heavy
1:07 pm
resistance well after a two day ceasefire to allow residents to leave and to get off the troops continue the talks home town of sirte the red cross is warning of a humanitarian crisis as the town runs out of essential supplies for more of the situation in libya we're now joined by adana williams from human rights watch so really have you been near sir top bad is the a situation there. well it's hard to know exactly the situation in pound people coming to be. called the heart. and that actually has been news. there but it's a crime to see. that there is no electricity and it's also been. water. but in any case because people are leaving or trying to leave every day and that brings its own difficulties leave because there's firing from post because
1:08 pm
some people say. get out the oil it's one of the stop leaving that is difficult to confirm but in general i would say it's pretty dire all right well let's talk about the via trial city think unaided eye witnesses claiming that they are being attacked what kind of atrocities have you seen or at least of the people you've spoken to and is it fair to say that they're being carried out by all sides involved. well i don't think they trust in jesus christ because yes what they're what they say is that to leave their homes is a dangerous some say that they get out the loose don't want the civilians also do tribal divides in the town so some people are programmed out these people and they get out the and this group rather complicates relations among the people and between the people and the gadhafi forces that are defending the town furthermore of course the rebels are firing into the town they fear that the foreign mostly as
1:09 pm
far as i could see it let me hasten that i wasn't didn't see everything building three and four story buildings on the periphery where they think people are so far far out for all. i can see where people are buying from. as i'm sure in russia they know when they took those girls and he's taking a city it's not physical rebels don't have the where with all like the russian army to go literally bombard. like spirits as the russian market grows and. they're having difficulty figure out how to take this yet so you have the picture you're painting there is one as you want to chaos in the you're seeing it in the you see some people who are pro get off the summer and to get off and it's clearly is very hard to say who is on which side where does that put the nato humanitarian mission it makes it very chaotic on the ground you know their mission was apparently aimed at protecting civilians so where does that put the entire humanitarian mission. well the nato is also in
1:10 pm
a minute. to bomb the town from the air in order to. to destroy the military's positions and. this calls you know if this is a war of pickup trucks with heavy weaponry mounted on the facts they move around it's fairly tense as far as the buildings and so on so indeed. using jets to give cover to the entry of the revolutionaries as they call themselves is in fact a rather difficult situation and therefore there hasn't been. some sort of carpet bombing to do a sion but in fact it's my impression that i find it difficult to use air power to cover the entry of rebels in the south ok mr williams and the country as a whole do you think the a national transitional council is successfully controlling its former fighters on
1:11 pm
the ground. i think not so this is the the rebels were groups. are you sure it is mostly on training from different parts of the country and that they continue mostly to answer to their own command is what the suffered very heavily under a siege by gadhafi forces they pretty much run their own show here and don't refer much to orders from the national transitional council ok well thanks very much for that too mr dan williams from human rights watch talking to us from the libyan city of misrata thank you. alright well live going back to our top story well i agree says a second bailout has been delayed by eurozone finance ministers are investigators in the country who are assessing the economic situation of the country well let's now talk to patrick meant for the. nomics professor of cardiff business school mr
1:12 pm
man for at first a greece was saying that it can only pay its bills until october this was apparently a problem for inspectors but now it can last until mid november so i realistically speaking how long do you think that's going to really stave off a default. well i don't really know and i don't think anybody does because their accounts are very problematic really knows what the truth is so i think there will be a default and soon a really that it happens the better for everybody but at the moment playing this game of not giving greece the money but pretending that somehow greece will put its accounts in order so maybe it doesn't need to default but this game of pretense must come to an end soon i think because it's simply damaging everybody with the uncertainty damaging everybody in that sense contagion has always been a fear economists and politicians alike have been raising these fears of from the
1:13 pm
very start why then are euro zone leaders delaying the next pay a lot installment is there a long term purpose to this. well i think it's all to do with german politics that . european politics as well because a lot of countries haven't yet ratified the fund that is going to carry the bills for these debts the european financial stability fund. in germany the politics is very difficult and so mrs merkel is trying to delay as much as she can so as to give herself as she sees it more room for maneuver but unfortunately all that happens is that it makes the crisis worse and the pressures on the politicians greater so really they would be better off trying to come to a decision on a greek default but they don't want to do this because they're frightened that if there is a formal to fold this will create a domino effect and bring down portugal and maybe island. starts
1:14 pm
to get problematic for spain and italy so they're trying to avoid a default as long as possible in the hope that something will turn up to avoiding a default by trying to come up with more funds the future and then you were talking about german politics as well as european politics your zone countries they are moving closer to increasing the currency unions bailiff on almost four fold again the question arises which was asked before how fair is it on the germans who contribute more than any other country to ask them to pay for their for their family neighbors or will they benefit from this. well not really i don't think so because that will put more and more money into a country greece which is really not going to pay back i mean greece is basically broke it has no revenues hasn't hasn't got enough revenues people don't pay taxes they're refusing to cooperate in the expenditure cops so nobody can really see any
1:15 pm
prospect that greece will pay any money back and so germans i think feel that if they pay any more money to greece they won't get it back and that is correct and so really the best course for germany is for greece to default and then if there are some problems in german banks then the german government can help bail out their own banks which would be less expensive than just passing money to greece that they'll never see again well thanks very much for your analysis there patrick meant for an economics professor from cardiff business school thanks again. now the former soviet republic of was back a stunt as one of the world's leading cotton exporters and while the government kashrus and the country's most vulnerable are paying the price as hard as it got that you know gosh over reports human rights groups say the cotton industry is thriving on illegal child labor. such is the fear in the eyes of these children if you think they were picking. up. i thought i'm going to come out of this is that
1:16 pm
