3:00 pm
three. three. three. we've long to live video for your media drug free media party dot com. is on our team real police used tear gas to clear answer yesterday protesters as a country is paralyzed by a nationwide strike against new budget cuts and higher taxes. tensions boiling. in the streets and then as the riot police an angry protesters clash we'll bring you all the latest information in just a female in. russia and china vetoed a u.n. resolution against syria saying the european backed document meets with more serious instead of stopping walczak. at the wall street rallies across the u.s. are you forced by units joining the clamor over the corporate greed down the street
3:01 pm
or say has led to the collapse of the economy. coming to you live from central moscow you're watching our team and we begin in athens where actually protesters have been cautioned with police to have. them thousands have been gathering outside the parliament furious at the level of spending cuts the twenty four hour public sector strike brought the country to a halt and greek airports are closed and hospitals are relying on emergency staff artists are first reports now from athens. to the scenes on the streets. outside the main part of the building where the escalating tensions build a village the angry protesters and the riot police clashing we saw at a gas being fired we. some people needing medical attention the riot police moving
3:02 pm
on season tightness where trying to clear the protesters out of that area really sent very aggressive scenes of the clashes between the teesside so we saw the police moving into the metro station chasing some of the protesters here on syntagma the match a working on strike and actually intervening to push back the riot place. a very very tense situation we see more of these are starting measures being passed not really raise the level of public anger head out at the beginning of the day the main labor party is in the country had let thousands of work his public sector workers on to the streets to protest against these measures and again like we said we saw those things that escalating quite dramatically throughout the day people are really losing trust in the eurozone leaders ability to take the country out of this crisis into measures in place that are actually realistic and can be met now
3:03 pm
we've seen over the last couple of weeks is the quick government passing more and more of these astaire's the measures to try and keep the international lenders on side to try and prove to them that they're able to take these steps to try and plug the deficit and the budget that the property tax that we saw passed last week and the announcement of possible job losses on top of people who are eighty in the country having had the salaries cut dramatically most people at about thirty percent of their salaries who are being cut and have these extra taxes it is really raised the level of anger amongst the public here he said they simply can't manage that now we've seen a school say quite disconcertingly spreading throughout the year is in and from the sovereign debt crisis needing now into the banking sector as well and there are fears of a repeat of what we saw a couple of years back and you know once again we hear what people are saying is the steps in the measures that were put in place at that time after he saw the collapse of lehman brothers you know he really was a key for not. if you find ourselves back in the same situation certainly here in
3:04 pm
greece we've already seen italy being downgraded by midis and this data from media said that that happened as a result of lack of trust in the usa in government is really bad and could not be echoed any more clearly by the public here is others exactly how they feel they just lost trust in the usa leaders ability to get them out of this situation and is now really there we're going to see this meeting for the financial crisis into very severe economic recession possibly not just the great remember that the rest of the year is a countries as well the euro zone leaders have given themselves until mid november to decide on the next tranche of the greek bailout it will only arrive this country meets its deficit targets thomas titus and from s. he be banking believes that athens is being prepared for a default. there is no real point in carrying on with this bailout exercise and i think over the past one or two months that's become clear to the euro system and the i.m.f. as well so i think they lay that we heard earlier is
3:05 pm
a very significant event said there won't be any more bailout payments to greece but that we need another four or five weeks before the difference the preparations for for a week week to fall can be in place obviously if it happens in an uncontrolled way it could be a very destructive event if there are no differences of preparations made in the grand span it could cost the bank system other governments cried dearly. i think that that's what would be the reason why this is going to happen right now but in four or five weeks he said they're now frantic preparations are under way to bolster the differences to make money available for paying out banks and ring fencing the healthier government set you up when this actually happens so when we live problem i could see with the bailout solution is that every single interest i've made over the past year or two they all seem to believe that after the bailout there would be a default anyway so that's just throwing your money down a black hole but i'm not through that and start dealing with reality instead. well
3:06 pm
russia and china have vetoed a u.n. security council resolution on syria the european backdraft called in damascus to end its crackdown on protesters or face targeted measures are not going beijing said they're concerned it could pave the way to a libya style military intervention meaning to put my reports from new york. russian ambassador to the united nations vitaly churkin said the draft was too one sided he described the resolution as a confrontational approach taken by the european delegation and against the peaceful settlement to the crisis now this draft resolution was proposed by france with the support of portugal the u.k. and germany but the one part of the text that many countries seem to disagree with was that that called for syria to comply with the resolution within thirty days and
3:07 pm
it if it had not complied then the council would quote consider its options including unspecified quote measures many council members including china russia brazil south africa interpreted these vague terms as leaving the door open to sanctions now of course russia's one is one of many countries that has been opposed to international sanctions against syria ambassador churkin says moscow believes the violence should be stopped through internal reforms and political dialogue not external sanctions or military intervention such as the case of libya you put in you see what you grow the draft resolution which was not passed it was based on an entirely different philosophy the philosophy of confrontation we cannot agree with its one sided accusations against the mass which we believe the
3:08 pm
threat of implementing solutions against the syrian government is an acceptable these are approved contradicts the principle of a peaceful settlement of the crisis recently common syrian national dialogue. brazil india south africa and lebannon abstained from voting on the resolution but it was the united states that voiced. stream disappointment that the security council did not only adopt the resolution moving forward russia and china said that they will be working on a resolution to gather that they say will be more balanced in the case of syria now we do know that some council members wanted not only the syrian government condemned for the violence but also a condemnation against all the government protesters that may have been inflaming the violence that has been breaking out over the course of six months but that is
3:09 pm
measured that the europeans did not want included in this resolution. for the vetoed by russia and china follows three months of heated debate in new york and that this agreement has the security council but moscow is convinced its action is justified artes you could you know explains. it's a rare case that russia has used its power of veto since nine hundred eighty four it's been seven times only that russia turned to its last resort with the world and in case of syria russia felt it was necessary to be told that resolution to stop a scenario in yet another arab state similar to what happened in libya up to the u.n. mandate to protect civilians the resolution on libya was passed in march with russia abstaining from the vote but the monday it was quickly picked up by nato which sided with planned to get out the poor says holding them to topple the pound and russia believes that in case of levy at the un mandate was misused and this is why
3:10 pm
it has not to let that happen again just as china russia as well he told me the only two permanent members of the un security council who are actively trying to negotiate a peaceful solution to the crisis rashid particular has hosted representatives of both president bashar al assad and members of the opposition trying to notch them into the dialogue and russia things that when you have to current size in a conflict what you need to do is to bring them both sides of the same towns well the whole issue of this resolution on a syria came up of trip and estimated over two thousand five hundred protesters have been killed in violent crackdowns on ninety assad forces since march this year at vishal damascus claims that it's only fighting supper tours who've been killing their security offices and hundreds r.t. has obtained a video footage which allegedly shows that those at and t.
3:11 pm
outside protesters are actually carrying weapons and using those weapons fire and we cannot see very quiet these small biofilm footage these are indeed tense here president does not protest as they do not look like the street is fully at all on the president to step down. so it was she's saying that it is a conflict where it's all because that violence has been carried out from both sides so if you only support one armed side in that conflict you are you sending it biased message to one side in these cases to opposition forces a message of strong support which will only fuel more tension inside the country. both presidents of the future freedom foundation jacob hornberger says that the most of behind washington's one sided approach to syria is then rid of the regime they once used to deal with. this notion that the u.s. is now part of this pro-democracy receipt regime is ridiculous but they're jumping
3:12 pm
on that ban away again as an opportunity to get out front of it and create this deceptive appearance while at the same time there's according the dictatorships that are aligned with them and the united nations and it's part of their empire and we look at libya you know they go in there the old colonial powers are coming back in their house the on days of the m r france great britain and now the united states affecting a regime change and there is no price there's no upper limit on the number of people they're willing to kill to affect that regime change there's another important factor to consider here to announce the hypocrisy that the us government aligned itself it harder to itself with the assad dictatorship you'll recall that that's where the cia rendition made. the canadian citizen a rendition just syria for purposes of torture where was the u.s. government and trying to help the syrian people suffering tyranny when they were
3:13 pm
partnering with that dictator to torture this guy and we've seen this time and time again they used egypt the dictatorship there to torture people so there's a lot of hypocrisy here there are classes that there are people in charge in these in these regimes in order to expand their demand and in control. i'll still have for you this hour out of touch with the prime minister david cameron tells his party to have kept optimism we hear from analysts who say there's nothing to be happy about. plus we tour the attraction capital grozny as it celebrates a city day at its iraq was rise from the ruins of just a decade ago. the first in the u.s. the occupy wall street movement is gaining support on a daily basis lever unions have joined the chorus of disapproval and from l.a. to d.c. thousands of sat with the state of the economy and the government's inability to turn things around are protesting for
3:14 pm
a third week as artie's are going into reports they're determined to be heard. we don't want that knowledge is creating more pain we're not very more traction and i think people are taking it. more than a thousand people in los angeles. chose to stand in solidarity with the occupy wall street movement. at city hall the very visible center of government empowered. demonstrators worried that the one percent who control most of the nation's wealth have gained a stranglehold over the u.s. government alexander hamilton to refer to the people he was so afraid of as a great piece in the great peace as a way people of all walks of life have turned out for this mass demonstration here in los angeles now a lot of the protesters here say they've gotten their inspiration from the demonstrators in new york and in athens and others are inspired by the revolution
3:15 pm
of egypt now there's still much debate about whether this is part of that revenue scenario movement here in america but one thing that people can agree on is that some drastic changes need to be made as to how this country runs from the east coast to the west coast and a growing number of places in between a collective agere is unifying people. in the windy city a group has been demonstrating outside the federal reserve bank in chicago for more than a week in boston a tent city in the heart of the financial district means occupiers can voice their discontent with corporate greed twenty four seven. despite dozens of arrests demonstrators intent to show that democracy does not end at the ballot box families have also been marching in denver and san francisco demanding radical change from wahoo to olympia to almost to orlando according
3:16 pm
to the occupy together website protests or are being. in more than one hundred cities points i get less than mine are worth a revolution i believe their time is done but i think that i think the world is like it is in there that doesn't work despite mainstream media down plain and even really killing the movie supporters have faith the message will be understood and you saw what happened in london they tried to make that out about a bunch of people that were just you know you know the bad apples that's humanity. something is wrong already bruised by soaring unemployment poverty and foreclosures the middle class are now being told to tighten their belts even many americans took finally their voices because of the beginning bigger it looks like it's spreading throughout the country you know they had a arab spring and you know hopefully we have with us in los angeles. r t.

3:18 pm
a position to be optimistic and we are very very disappointed with the prime minister's speech today i think people all across britain would be quickly coming to realize that this is an out of touch prime minister and that we have a senior do nothing government firstly on the economy because we're very worried about the economy and the prime minister's lack of a plan b. for the economy you know the government was warned a year ago that they really did run the risk of a double dip recession if they cut public spending as hard and as far as they have to in order to pay off the deficit in his speech today he failed to elude any plan b. for the u.k. economy secondly he also talked about the need for people to pay off their credit card debts here on this also seems entirely out of touch with the british people as
3:19 pm
ninian's of people struggle to make ends meet every month struggling to pay for food on the table and clothes their kids but we heard absolutely nothing again in david cameron's speech about the need to reform the banking system and sort of cracked down on britain's big banks so i would have liked to see a much more of a focus on making sure those at the top pay their fair share. well let's look at some other world news in brief this hour afghan intelligence officials have arrested a six individuals charged with conspiring to assassinate president hamid karzai the group which is reportedly affiliated with al qaida managed to recruit one of karzai is personal bodyguards for their operation so extremists have killed several high profile figures in afghanistan in recent months the last of which is the is

3:24 pm
first let's take a look at what's happening in the world of business with dmitri. thanks to the russian markets closed in the red adding to three sessions of heavy losses that's despite stronger group prices and a significant bounce back in europe russia has taken a big hit during the latest market turmoil as investors pull their cash out of risky locations but analysts say if a double dip recession is avoided emerging markets will outperform other globally the scenes emerging markets in general are much stronger fiscally they have much stronger growth that is expected in europe in the us i don't corporations in emerging markets such as russia and elsewhere are also what stronger so you know i think that once for now investors are simply wrapped up on the concern that we could get a catastrophe if we can avoid if you task if we now looks more likely than i think
3:25 pm
once we settle down we will see more money coming back to emerging markets faster than to develop markets the latest markets with many verses scratching their heads over where to put their money just a man steve or marilyn suggests infrastructure projects still offer the prospect of substitute. when you look at all of infrastructure projects attraction of them is they maybe emerging markets but ultimately they are the gateway to global trade whether it's passenger traffic all freight traffic and i think a lot of investors see that was a as an opportunity i'm involved use of these projects so when we've probably charged paul companies they tend to be great ways to do a trade and therefore that's to say our investing interests are going to structure but i'm also interested in the globalization from the opening of that market to new investors new companies overseas so it's an interesting way to play an emerging market but also to the risk it all investing in a company providing infrastructure to support both import and export trade. so you would have the markets for oil is still strongly in the black first thing and for
