pm here in the russian capital if you're watching our t.v. our top story fury over corporate power in the u.s. is spreading from new york across the country thousands of joy the occupy wall street movement angered by the economic slump and the role of big business in its demonstrators have been arrested artie's a sea of children are reports america's mainstream media has been largely ignoring the rapidly growing movement. taking the big apple by storm. category wrested 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
3:02 pm
those holding reins of financial and political power common americans who make the most of this country don't have access to corporate power and the media don't have many options to get there we see her go through 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 i mean it's weird to get beat by the police to you know get locked up and incarcerated for always and always knows where i would to do the book because of for this movement if you. 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 but you know. putting us through some for abuse because it's hope. you know is bringing we're
3:03 pm
working 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 out of the corporate media we three into the camp outside 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 and sports drama and pretty much anything to serve as you try. actually i did get me aboard a ship. right now this is a bit of a notice 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. way to do what i did the occupy wall street movement promises to grow in the months to come and history
3:04 pm
shows that the royce of the people can't be neglected forever and is that it sure can our party new york. demonstrators in the u.s. have been voicing their anger over rising toplessness student debt and police brutality put political analyst and former intelligence officer robert david steele thanks they're united by a will for iraq for reform and could even bring about a revolution. these are not stupid people they're very smart and they understand that at root this is about corruption and government and corruption on wall street and until you have electoral reform you cannot restore the integrity of the u.s. government so yes there is a common cause but it's a bottom up movement and so that common cause is being voiced in many different ways i see the united states right now is much more desperate to people realize we're at twenty two percent unemployment on our way to thirty percent we are at sixteen percent below the poverty line on our way to thirty percent there is no
3:05 pm
question in my mind that this is going to be a very dark winter in the united states and iran less to government free stores its own integrity and start paying attention to the public interest rather than to special interests i believe that we will have a formal for evolution initially nonviolent but with the potential to become violent. oh across the atlantic greece has once again have been left hanging at this time until mid november years and ministers have pushed back a decision on how to go over more bailout cash lathan says admitted it won't meet deficit deadlines despite crippling cuts but the greek finance minister has said the nation could wait another month for a rescue are you sara for a reports now from your sturdy capital athens. it's been here almost an entire display of the most dramatic side of this economic crisis in greece has been played out as time and again we've seen people turning up outside the parliament building
3:06 pm
to protest against the severe austerity measures that they say has to be untouchable be find ourselves back in a position where people now are really asking just walls has been achieved by implementing these are scarcely measures to quit government has to mitigate it won't be able to meet its tough deficit reduction targets not sent to the whole usa really about what the implications of that will be the greek government have also things imagine that thirty thousand civil servants almost double meaning the dutch in in the salary for a year well be the end of the year the possibility of dismissal then there are great than for greece where do you think that that. really and hearing me is the country to stay in place to trickle or to take care in the culture that may be trying to hammer out the details of that now that has to be said but. the only sure you get about money. that could be felt.
3:07 pm
bad for greece at this point is also about the rest of the euro as a country than indeed with global economy that is that it this would have a separate note on the fact that 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 spoke to you hear nothing say that we've seen these job losses we've seen the cause but it wages and intentions of these are people who no longer be able to pay taxes people who are struggling to pay their taxes and yet the government still seem to be subtlest touch they solution to kludge the big deficit in the budget so there are concerns really about the practicalities of any of these measures having. any effect will also talk about the possibility of default take and as we said still a lot of public anger at the people can be built but their lives are being put in a situation that is simply unacceptable that they can't live with so we can see
3:08 pm
more strike action that we see so much of over the last year was happening against my big concerns really about whether the year it's a needed against big what's it called the country out of the situation. and still have for you this hour the colossal cost of high fashion one of the world's leading car fuel sources run allegedly using a child labor harvest a profitable crop. libya's new rulers have blamed 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 resistance laughter a two day cease fire to allow residents to leave off the troops continue with the siege hometown of sirte the red cross is warning of a humanitarian crisis as a town runs out of essential supplies here a spokesperson for the organization who visited the region says that the a situation there remains dire. we managed to get in the hospital and spent
3:09 pm
a few hours to check on the hospital however the security situation did not allow us to move inside the town and see the situation of the civilians we managed to talk to representatives of the civilians to understand the situation they talk about lack of food lack of for sure there is no electricity there is a lack of fuel in the city and there is very difficult at systematic in care and no i've been same time while talking to families going out of the city of sirte i have been on the eastern side graft talk to families displaced to desert out on third or to villages like cut out why in other surrounding villages and my colleagues from the west as well are looking at the internally displaced families these people as well are living in difficult conditions because they are you know they are meeting just. houses to feed the ongoing fighting in the city of sirte and they are being displaced into the desert. living in high difficult conditions and having not systematic and care to the rule to we have been calling upon all parties to the
3:10 pm
conflict to spirit as much as possible to civilian people and to always distinguish between military and civilian targets. now the top u.s. commander in afghanistan has promised american forces will stay in the region for a long time twenty fourteen was set us the deadline to withdraw some or ninety thousand troops currently deployed in the country but general john allen said this might not be the end all for more we're now joined live by gerry van dyke a journalist and author who's written extensively on afghanistan and pakistan and himself lived with the mujahideen in the one nine hundred eighty s. and also spent forty five days as a prisoner of the taliban just three years ago but mr van dyke let's look at general allen's a strategy here he said america's main plan was to to win and be successful in your view how many more years will that take it is there a clear measure of success here. no i don't think there is a clear measure of success and i do think it's going to take at least ten years
3:11 pm
there are many reasons why the united states and its allies but particular united states will stay in afghanistan and first of all is that the war is getting worse or more i eat these according to the un that is to say mines have gone off in the last few months is another one for more u.s. soldiers and marines are dying there more casualties civilian and military than any time in the ten years since foreign forces have been in afghanistan and also the afghan national army and its police forces are not ready to take over you have a twenty four percent desertion rate in the afghan national army now the united states is afraid that if we were to leave as it did in one thousand nine hundred nine after the soviets left by that i mean they quit funding the mujahideen what happened that al qaeda came to the united states does not want more than anything else there are many reasons why their state which is why they didn't want to start in iraq general allen did say that the reason why clips are staying is since to
3:12 pm
advise the afghan security forces you yourself think that they are now ready to do it themselves but is there is this a euphemism of sorts i couldn't take his word for it literally. i why i think first of all it's true that the forces are not ready to take over i hope so think you are correct in saying that the euphemism here in the united states is letting contracts to american contractors to build barracks in various air bases around the country and chin dead in the in the west perhaps to watch or to air flights over iran in mazar sharif in the north perhaps watch former soviet central asian republics in kandahar in the southeast perhaps watch pakistan the united states does not have any intention i do not believe to leave in the short term there are many who feel that they have to surround iran to perhaps soft containment of china you had just this last june the shanghai cooperative organization which russia
3:13 pm
china and the former soviet central republics in asia are signatories said that they want a neutral afghanistan that is code for it they do not want the united states to stay in afghanistan nato and its allies i don't think are ready to leave this very volatile region united states does not want pakistan to try and make afghanistan a satellite it's a very complicated very dangerous area and i do think that u.s. forces will be there for a very long time all right you do know the country you have from the inside and just recently insurgents attacked the u.s. embassy in kabul now what message do you think they're trying to send with such attacks. not only are they so have they attacked the u.s. embassy which of course is without a doubt the most secure area in the in the entire country they also attacked in recent months the intercontinental hotel one of the icons of american if you will
3:14 pm
heritage in afghanistan as well as they attacked. the you know on the anniversary of the if you will the british departure from afghanistan and the anniversary of afghan independence the british consul in afghanistan in april so they want to show very clearly that they are very much aware of the history of afghanistan that they can. penetrate with the american side called the ring of steel around kabul and that there is no place in afghanistan where they cannot go and now we've had the president president karzai his brother was killed the most important military leader in the north a policeman in the north was killed and we had the recent assassination of burnt on indian rabbani was a former president of afghanistan which means in the eyes of every afghan the americans and our allies are not succeeding the place is dangerously low and if i can jump in some plan for how to do something and sorry i mean yes having said all that even if he has made some of somewhat of a success after all
3:15 pm
a summer games model is that about was the goal pulling incidents wasn't it. that was our original goal correct but he was in pakistan wasn't he and he was perhaps very closely allied or at least protected by some parts of the afghan excuse me the pakistani military political establishment. is the key here the united states does not want as i mentioned earlier pakistan to once again as it did under the taliban have afghanistan as a satellite it wants to assure more than anything else that it does not again not again become a harbor for for what they call terrorists it took ten years for them as i'm repeating myself but i think it's critical to note the capture they have not captured and al-zawahiri or any people or the new al qaeda leadership i don't think by any means he even though a great number of children are going to school now there are paved roads throughout the country but just as the former or the present russian ambassador said when we
3:16 pm
were there in the one nine hundred eighty s. we build made even during the height of the war we built major infrastructure we had projects there there is a large silo in kabul he talked about where they made bread and you can see that silo today what the allies have not done thus far although they are trying is create something grander of a dam a major factory something something to show that they have really maintained or they have created a successful environment that will intimidate the taliban hi thanks very much for your insight and analysis very very tight in china sound off her talking to us live there thanks very much. now the former soviet republic of is back assad is one of the world's leading cotton exporters and while the government cash is santa the country's most vulnerable are paying the price as are. reports human rights groups say the cotton industry is thriving on illegal child labor. such is the fear in the
3:17 pm
eyes of these children you think they were taking opium not. for a man as a cause that the lives that up a drug that man's years of graduation are being seen as their. present. and meanwhile on the other side of the world the produce harvested with illegal child labor is enjoying the glare of flash and cameras will not occur the mother daughter of those bad president is presenting her new collection with forbes magazine ponders 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 great tools the tools i was going to stand on our children as young as seven for work an average of
3:18 pm
seventy hours a week instead of going to school and an education is not the only thing they're missing out on but no heating crop of bats we're drinking water. 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. for the healthful force child labor was because stanford uses around one million tons of cotton enough to make one billion t. shirts the cortinas sold abroad except to the sixty plus retailers including it why and they turned them not to buy was the cotton because the harvest is so abusive this boycott sends a message to those government that in slaving children is not or should. not a pretty normal who is also is back in scans and bass added to the u.n. and the deputy foreign minister refutes the claims and she was also outraged when.
3:19 pm
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 governments about six years ago engaged in the disproportionate use of force against mostly peaceful protesters in the eastern city of undie john and the jam is the bloodiest chapter in president islam karimov stew decades and all this in two thousand fine is forces opened fire on an anti-government demonstration killing five thousand people or other so-called dissidents jail sentences are common but how do you spend three years in prison for speaking out after his prosperous business was taken over by the president's people . eremos family is an organized criminal mob all sectors of the
3:20 pm
economy profitable businesses are under his control if you go to wiki leaks you'll see that the u.s. ambassador calls karim to water and mafia princess but all this will stay just words world war continues in afghanistan will carry more of is an important ally that everyone will close eyes to his crimes. but he did egypt and tunisia and were once important allies to holler at the arab spring showed just how quickly things can change. to another channel for our team. and you can find more in all our stories at r.t. dot com here's a look at what else we have on life in right now israeli aggression phalluses need us to stick show in the alarming rise of the amount of palestinian violence in the occupied areas of gaza and the west bank one that story on life. and the clash of
3:21 pm
the titans two russian tigers go head to head. court this week a former media mogul but it's going to solve the seuss chelsea football club owner of a month ago which for more than five billion dollars we'll find out exactly why our team dot com. of china has slammed the u.s. senate debate on ways to punish beijing for under valuing its currency and taking away american jobs will allow the government to impose duties on products from countries with specific currencies well china has told the u.s. to abandon protectionism and stop politicizing economic issues we could talk to george who founder of international strategic alliance is a company that helps the cooperation of international firms mr coo are we going to see any action from china following its angry rhetoric. i don't think there will be any specific retaliatory action until the us actually turns the. resolution into into something with teeth. and from what i read this morning it's
3:22 pm
a likely to proceed sense the house speaker is skeptical that. such a resolution would solve any problems and he's absolutely right in this regard right and even as he had business community even the american business community don't see how this would benefit them and you're saying it's a it's not like we need to push forward and then why even bring it up in a politically well it's a it's a it's it's grandstanding all or part of some of the senators are well known for their anti a china or a china bashing position and i think they're seeking to gain political capital by making such a move and attempting to distract the american public from the real issues at hand which is not solving the debt crisis and balancing the budget and strengthen the dollar. and talk about just just give you
3:23 pm
a sense of the hypotheses not invest when china was initially accused. really in a currency it was considered to be forty percent undervalued and at that point the exchange rate was eight point three to one what cent china has taken or in be all that has been gradually appreciating so that now it's about six point three one or nearly three percent appreciation but if you listen to that distinguished members of the senate china is still undervalued its currency by forty percent so how do you conclude from this i think one will conclude that in addition to manipulating public. which is what the senate is trying to do is it's not a deliberate manipulation on china's part it's a deliberate weakening of the u.s. dollar on the u.s.
3:24 pm
and that's why the. dollars could get we could yeah let's just i would like to ask you a quick comment on what china had said china says the u.s. most seriously violates the rules of the world trade organization and it obstructs china u.s. trade ties i mean is it really against many a bill like this for example it only allows the possibility of imposing barriers but it doesn't actually do it so is it again just very briefly. but i think that the government actually takes place only certain. trees actions and terrorists. so until that has taken place i'm not sure that you know it may be in violation of the spirit of the discourse ok thanks very much george founder of the international strategic alliances company that has cooperation of international firms thanks for your well. but later on the program our teams for national gurus talk about. the
