what we're being told may have actually ruled out when the routes part of the crowds that formed in lower manhattan by a wall street surge has barricades around the new york stock exchange and officers moved into thinking that protesters from what we saw on the video officers swatted protesters with the times. with mace or pepper spray according to some reports even one local news reporter who is sprayed with pepper spray his cameramen was hit with a baton things clearly getting violent down by wall street as this demonstration was carrying on all day long cops how arrested dozens of protesters but the final tally is not yet known or t. has checked in with the new york city police department and they don't have a final tally yet now let's remind our viewers this is not the first clash between

our police officers and protesters we saw last saturday nearly eight hundred of them were arrested in one day when i had been working or in a peaceful protest against corporate influence on us politics like as for they call corporate greed wall street greed the we can work we thought we also saw several anti wall street protesters that are part of this group called occupy wall street they were me so in the face by a police officer police officers have used orange netting. to get to these protesters that they say are acting. disobedient civil disobedience is the term the police have used here in new york but before these clashes took place we should inform everyone that this demonstration that took place in new york was on precedented it was the biggest warned us far by park. i was not because it

doesn't leverage unions joined occupy wall street restock transport workers beside nurses teachers students from universities in new york city and the country all walked out of class at a certain time to join a movement that is being held in high in new york by occupy wall street now this this movement we should remind our viewers is not just limited to new york it is caught on in cities throughout the country such as boston. angeles chicago and that's just to name a few we know one is being planned in spain in washington d.c. in the next few days now this is clearly gaining enormous momentum and it's not just a group of activists these are now rush treated americans coming together we read and says about the way take us system is structured and the way the economy is in

decline and not benefiting from the common gay marriage. briefly merino now you've men who have this is we've seen these protests prop popping up nationwide in the us in the several big cities is there are unified goal though from these protesters i mean right now it seems that they're protesting more of a concept than actually having a list of serious things that they want changed in america i mean is there something that we can that they have agreed on now as something that they want to accomplish. because a good question and i don't know if there's one fundamental agreement but i think they're all coming together because they are frustrated with the way the economy is is moving they feel that bakers and workers are profiting off the guts of hard working americans they are very very upset about corporate influence on u.s. politics the way that campaign contributions are being made political can. it needs

both a presidential level i don't want it being level and then laws are being printed benefits are large corporations or financial institutions are financial institutions that just walk wall street banks are being bailed out when the economy declines and melts and then they profit a few years later and the americans are worth fighting the good old are using jobs forty five million americans are on food stamps fourteen million americans are unemployed this is a movement now that is grown into a larger movement about the struggle of the working class american unemployment poverty but what they want is accountability they want their us system their leaders to begin working for all americans they go what this system can do to continue and how during that housed in where operations make contributions to you know as i mentioned political politicians and then politicians scratch the back of the book gracious here's an example i think if you these protesters they brought up

big rocks alike that the g.o.p. war in she's recently donated for four point two million dollars to the new york city police department the largest donation ever made in history and now these protesters believe that the police officers are not necessarily treating them fairly that there's being a crackdown on their freedom of speech but this movement there is no denying it it is getting bigger these people are armed with that they're not just going out in the street and screaming they are media savvy they are being have a deep sense of frustration they feel disenfranchised they say that they have in part been inspired by the arab spring and by all the uprisings they have seen in parts of europe and they believe it is not just a movement that is taking place in the us it's taking place all over the world with the u.s. is now catching up to it and they know how to continue they say this will not be the end it's just the beginning of the certainly deserves more discussion than we

have time to devote where right now well certainly stay with us art is very important ally for us from new york thanks for that report. if we are closely following the protests in the us on our website at r.t. dot com you can find latest articles that are constantly updated blog posts and for all the latest videos remember to click on our to use you tube channel as well. more news today violence has once again flared up. these are the images. from the streets of canada after. corporations rule the day. in syria at least six people reported have been killed in the latest clashes between protesters and security forces human rights groups continue sounding the

alarm over multiple arrests and killings one high profile victim didn't make any amazing reappearance better reports on the media's quickfire reactions i think expensive patrick she was hailed as the flower of syria the symbol of the suffering under president. brutal regime at least that's what much of the western media said after the apparent cheering and zeinab we have few pictures of what was done to seen aps corpse and they are simply too gruesome to air several western media outlets who puts a report salvos on these gruesome deaths apparently the first woman killed in government custody but now it appears she's miraculously back from the date even being interviewed on syrian t.v. . i came to the police station to see the truth this is what i say to those line channels i'm now still alive not dead human rights groups like amnesty international jumped on the bandwagon to reporting out hosni was tortured murdered

and mutilated it even claimed a mother found the body in a morgue last month all assertions is now being forced to backtrack on this we will endeavor to be more cautious and phrase things a little bit more nuanced the state broadcaster says the interviews to dispel what it labels fabrications by foreign media the serve western interests in stories like this that have been used to prop up calls from the u.s. britain and france the un sanctions to be slapped on syria but their foundations are now looking shakier than ever this footage allegedly shows unarmed civilians being targeted by gun toting rebels so perhaps not the peaceful opposition they're often made out to be by the west that only seems to look one way. this notion that you has is now part of this pro-democracy see regime is ridiculous they are jumping on that panel wake it is an opportunity to get out front of it and create this deceptive of terence while at the same time there's

a warning the dictatorships that are aligned with their many united nations and as part of their empire russia and china vetoed a u.n. resolution for syria seeing through it as a potential cover for another libyan style intervention say may not be any oil this time but there's always an ulterior motive its importance is as a political factor right next to israel a country which obviously america and britain and the other western powers strongly support so that would be the altar into a political motive to be to have followed by security council will count from america over remarks during the syrian envoy speech but the u.s. promised to be back with another resolution and on down sadly more dramatic evidence to drive the point the minutes r.t. london. stay with us here on our if you still to come us step closer to being part of the u.n. we track palestine's before recognition of a world body where they've just been given the nod to join the bodies cultural bar

. but first producers latest twenty four hour nationwide strike turned violent with police firing tear gas if you tear gas i agree crowds of protesters the country all but ground war holders greeks made their feelings known about the extra cuts they face so the country can try and plug the massive three hundred fifty billion euro debt or he's sorry for more from athens. anger in athens intactness square once again bearing witness oakley clashes between rightly here is greater than. the right. thanks larry. and the pensions really be my pick as a police meeting to clear the crowds some shocking things i one point the police chasing protesters into the metro station many others hit kicks by they supposed to be keeping control. the message being sent by the government is one of repression

and fear. scenes like this are very serious questions about the level of force being used. to priors is a forty three year old journalist he's reported from many conflicts. it was in his own country where he sustained his worst injury. i just remember thinking is this really happening please i took shelter in an enclosure just. and one policeman who i think was the commander asked in a very rude. pictures i told him i was a journalist if you give an order. these are some pictures i took. the place he taken shelter the fight the sound of the flash bang causing always takes all deftness injury which was his job. after the attack i won't call it an accident it was an attack like a small. investigation was launched into the incident that progress is being slowly . tells us the countless cases against heavy handed police tactics and.

any kind of results. the lack of discrimination when the police lash out when journalists along with his camera to the ground the rise in the level of aggression seen by police and the more extreme groups the protest is causing serious concern. with the government continuing to implement the various there is the measures it did to see if that can tensions looks set to keep escalating i think we are. easily explained in the form of the first reaction to free some sort. of describe what we have experienced has been experienced. of the. impact of the financial crisis is being played out play by play well sometimes in the square right now is that the financial crisis ten into an economic recession

being entire year is a look just to reach people to then me. see. greece financial paralysis is being worsened by the admission that it won't hit its budget targets for more perspective on this i'm joined by economic analyst mark and mark kennedy joining us live from hong kong thanks for being with us so given the scenes that we've just been seeing on the streets of athens do you think the government has lost the grit has lost its grip on the country. the most important thing i would emphasize is that it's not just about greece because even if greece wasn't on the planet at all you would still have potentially a nation of bankruptcies in italy spain portugal ireland even france standard and poor's has made an inference in an interesting projection on the server and ratings back in two thousand and five six years ago where they projected that all the major western governments including france the u.s. the u.k. and germany were actually heading for drunk status on the debt rating simply

because all of their deficits and government as a percentage of g.d.p. unsustainable so don't get it wrong that that's caused by greece or that if you fix the greek situation then everything will be fixed and all of you are not at all and yes in a way politicians are about to lose control of the situation entirely in europe you are close to having banks and just yesterday under american law said we are trying to support the banks so really they have only got two choices now in europe even uncontrolled collapse if they don't do anything much or massively massively wide in the bailout funds. technically they may do that this so and as i will find it doesn't really matter what you call them but that would be a very very inflationary for the euro if they do those bailouts but either way we stay basically out of yours on investment for those reasons here zoom leaders are adamant that they want to avoid a greek default they insist the country will stay in the euro what do you think is

the best way out of this mess. well that's a tricky political question as. if it's a default it may actually not be the seeing and not just greed i would say to lead it follows it may also not be a good thing because then they are after they can start again bet free they don't have to increase taxes they can devalue their currency is have lower taxes become more competitive again so. that may actually be potentially the best solution on the other hand if they bail out everything you know what. currency is the ability of the euro for what we think is the most likely cause i believe if the leaders for example in germany are managing to sell that was it was a public. days and most likely prince and sacrifice currency is the ability in order to avoid this uncontrolled collapse which would be quite difficult for politicians to tell people your money in the bank it's a go and take it in stages through inflation and then people don't immediately

realize what hits them so watch out i mean investors should be watching are very much for the inflation risk in fact eurozone inflation was just reported to last month's will have increased to three percent that was surprising crease and we might see much much higher potential in the hyperinflation going forward everything left and right and the same more or less is actually happening in the united states government also has largely lost control of their own budget deficits so again not just not just the ozone the i actually see two major economic growth the united states and the eurozone going either into uncontrolled meltdown of the banking system a nation but international bankruptcy is of major countries or very high inflation and inflation we think is the most likely scenario for tangible assets maybe investment right now and putting all the money in cash or bonds in the markets or the notes eight billion euro payment installment is delayed again greek leaders say more cuts are coming but do you think it's expanding civil service and an

intransigent workforce that the country even has the ability to make the changes that it needs. well i would very much now but i mean it just depends on whether or not germany is is paying for a lot of funding through to the country i mean. i mean right now while the latest is actually there there may be roll out a package to recapitalize the banks at the same time they let greece partially before and then firewall they reminded the other countries of europe such as italy so again if you focus too much of that reason it a great where you are really kind of losing losing side of the big picture here alone can't possibly do it they would have to be markets funding from from the euro zone probably the most likely is now partially destroyed with market funding but either way economically there's no there's no easy way out there's no easy fix and

that sounds quite bleak but you don't think the whole world actually isn't that mad fundamentally looks a lot better although there's the markets which we have been following actually to some extent more here fundamentally we think china's much more healthy and actually market why the drop rates have reduced devaluation for quite attractive levels and russia as well actually if you're now looking at my colleagues the erasers are about five rethink that's quite attractive and given that russia also fundamentally terms of a national they're just like in china many many merging model countries are actually in a better position so before we put our client back to precious metals and assets in emerging market countries rather than in the restoration already or see anything else to wrap it up in our apologize bring up here you are terrible thanks very much for your analysis martin headachy speaking with us from hong kong. stay with us here on r.t. still to come in keeping fit. we report on iraq this ends a region where the governors keep fit montra is keeping the population to healthy

the saddle. the head of the local administration says initiative has not only improved health but brought officials closer to the people with little i asked can we have one more car to help us with our gc's he said you can have three to scooters and to buy so the tree officials can observe people see who is up to what who is leaving rubbish outside for example. some critics have said the government's compulsory initiatives reminiscent of those and soviet times violate people's rights but a sports form of motorbike rider denies the accusations. of using human rights but the only way i am abusing human rights is by not giving people the opportunity to do even more physical exercise. as the clock strikes ten. the police are out in force. and looking for the children the governor has imposed
