t. starting with our breaking news police in the u.s. have been filmed beating back protesters at an ongoing mass demonstration in new york in the biggest event yet in the three week long rally called occupy wall street it's also reports of pepper spray being used on the crowds and numerous own arrests at the rally thousands have been taking part in this estate in protest to demand social and economic change activists say they're fed up with breaking their backs at work while wall street bankers bonuses keep flowing for more on this one joined by artie's marina porton i live in your hello merinos so how did the protests manage to turn ugly. well not as you mentioned this protest gerry ugly before it get about ten to twenty thousand demonstrators were out on the street but from what we're being told may have actually broke out when the crowds part of the crowd that formed in lower manhattan by a wall street surge has to barricades around the new york stock exchange and officers moved in to contain the protesters from what we saw on the video officers

swatted protesters with the times sprayed them with mace pepper spray a warning to some reports even one local news reporter who is sprayed with pepper spray his camera man was hit with a big time things clearly getting violent down by wall street as this demonstration was carrying on all day long cops have 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 these officers and anti wall street protesters we saw last saturday nearly eight hundred of them were arrested in one day when they were taking part in a peaceful protest. against corporate influence on u.s.

politics against what they call corporate greed wall street greed the week before we 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. or how 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 one those far are by occupy wall street that now it's because it doesn't labor unions joined occupy wall street we saw transport workers we saw nurses we saw teachers students from universities in new york city and throughout the country all walked out of class at

a certain time to join the 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 was angeles chicago that's just to name a few we know one is being planned in in in washington d.c. in the next few days now this is this is clearly gaining enormous momentum it's not just a group of activists these are now fresh treated americans coming together with grievances about the way the u.s. system is structured and the way the economy is in decline and not benefiting from the common day america already briefly marina now you've mentioned we've seen these protests probably popping up nationwide in the u.s. 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 does and that's a good question and i don't know if there is 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 bankers and brokers are profiting off that that some hard working americans they are very very upset about corporate influence on u.s. politics the way that campaign contributions are being made to political candidates both at a presidential level on a lawmaking level and then laws are being written to benefit. what christians or financial institutions or financial institutions that just wall to 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 left footing the bill they're losing 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 and they want their us system their leaders to begin working for all americans they don't want this system can to continue in a pattern that it housed in where corporations make contributions to you know as i mentioned political pop politicians and then politicians for actually that the poor gracious here's one example i can give you these protesters they brought out they brought to light the fact that j.p. morgan chase 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 is being a cropped out on their freedom of speech but this movement there is no denying it it is getting bigger these people are armed with they're not just going out in the street and screaming they're there are media savvy they 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 that this is not just a movement that it's taking place in the u.s. that's taking place all over the world that the u.s. is now catching up to it and they now to continue they say this will not be the end it's just the beginning of all those certainly deserves more discussion than we have time to devote to where right now but it will certainly stay with us artie's marine important ally for us from new york thanks for that report. well we are closely following the protests in the u.s. on our web site and our team 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. the news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images from world in seeing from the streets of canada. showing operation to rule today. 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 but one high profile victim did make an amazing reappearance artie's ivory ben a reports on the media's quick fire reactions at the expense of fact checking. she was hailed as the flower of syria the symbol of the suffering under president bashar assad's brutal regime at least

that's what much of the western media said after the apparent butchering of zeinab al hosni we're viewed pictures of what was done to xining aps corpse and they are simply too gruesome to air several western media outlets were quick to report al gore's knees gruesome death apparently the first woman killed in government custody but now it appears she's miraculously back from the dead even being interviewed on syrian t.v. . i came to the police station to see the truth this what i see 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 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 to serve western interests in stories like this that have been used to prop up calls from the u.s. britain and france for un sanctions to be slapped on syria but their foundations are now looking shakier than ever this footage allegedly shows unarmed pro assad 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 the u.n. has is now part of this pro-democracy receipt regime is ridiculous they are jumping on that bandwagon is an opportunity to get in front of it and create its deceptive appearance while at the same time there is supporting the dictatorships that are aligned with them in the united nations and it's 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 so they may not be any oil

this time but there's always an ulterior motive it's importance who 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 ulterior into a political motive to be to have followed by security council war council america over remarks during the syrian envoy speech but the u.s. promised to be back with another resolution and undoubtedly more dramatic evidence to drive the point home on the bennetts. london. stay with us here on araa to you still to come a step closer to being part of the u.n. we track palestine's with the whole recognition of the world body where they've just been given the nod to join the bodies cultural. but first greece's latest twenty four hour nationwide strike turned violent with police firing tear gas if you tear gas at angry crowds of protesters the country all but ground to

a halt as 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 r.t. sarah for has more from athens. anger in athens syntagma square once again bearing witness ok clashes between riot police here is protesting so i go to the back right here and they're right that he'll fight for larry. and the pensions really be my thing as a police moved in to clear the crowds some shocking thing one point the police chasing protesters into the metro station many others hit and kicked by they supposed to be keeping control of 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 prior is a forty three year old journalist who's reported from many conflicts. but it was in his own country where he sustained his worst injury. i just remember thinking is

this really happening including us i took shelter in an enclosure just talking and one policeman who i think was the commander asked in a very rude we are taking pictures i told him i was a journalist but he gave an order and i had one of the flash bangs thrown at me these are some pictures i took. the place he'd taken shelter amplified the sound of the flash bang causing always takes all deafness and injury which is. after the attack i won't call it an accident it was an attack in my life been like a small. investigation was launched into the incident but progress is being slowly find the nameless tells the countless cases against heavy handed police tactics they need to have any kind of result we witness for ourselves 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. in a bid to receive that cash. to keep escalating i think we are. easily explained in the form of psychological point of view you know the first reaction. to them. has been experienced. then. 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 could bring the entire usa just to please people to then we. see in. 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

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 group 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 was not on the planet at all you would still have potentially a nation of bankruptcies and it to me spain portugal ireland even france fact standard and poor's has made an entry in an interesting projection on the sovereign ratings out of. 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. sustainable so don't get it wrong that it's just all caused by greece or that if you fix the greek situation then everything will be fixed in our view or not at all

and yes in a way politicians lose control of that situation entirely in europe you are close to having bank and just yesterday under the mask of those said we are trying to support the bank so really they have only got two choices now in europe even uncontrolled collapse if they don't do anything much or simply massively widen the bailout fund. technically they may do that and as i will find it doesn't really matter what you call them but that would be very very inflationary for the euro if they do those bailouts were either way we'd stay basically out of eurozone investment for those reasons the euro zone 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. that's a tricky political question as i said. if it is a default it may actually not be the seeing and not just the raise i would say if

you did it falls it may also not be the same because then they are after that and start again debt free they don't have to increase taxes and 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're bad at everything you would sacrifice in that currency stability of the euro the we think is the most likely closer believe if the leaders for example in germany are managing to say oh that was it was a public. day and most likely print and sacrifice concious the ability in order to avoid this uncontrolled. rage would be quite difficult for politicians to tell people your money in the bank is a go and take it in stages through inflation then people don't immediately realize what hits them so watch out i mean investors should will be watching are very much for the inflation rates in fact the eurozone inflation was just reported to allow some months to have increased to three percent that was

a surprise increase and you might see much much higher potential in the hyper inflation going forwards a lot 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 those on the actually see two major economic growth the united states and the eurozone going either into uncontrolled methadone of the banking system and potential national bankruptcy as of major countries or very high inflation inflation rethink is the most likely scenario tangible assets maybe investment right now and putting all the money in cash or bonds in the markets of the next billion euro payment installment is delayed again greek leaders say more cuts are coming but do you think with its expanding civil service and intransigent workforce that the country even has the ability to make the changes that it needs. well i would very much doubt that i mean it just depends on where the money is

paying for a lot of funding to to as a country i mean or mean right now what is the latest discussion list that they may roll out a package to recapitalize the banks at the same time they let greece partially be followed and then of all they reminded the other countries of europe such as italy so again if you focus so much of the greece nitty gritty of it you are really kind of losing losing sight of the big picture here greece alone can't possibly do its they would have to be a massive funding from from the eurozone probably the most likely is now partially to follow that 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 is in that mess fundamentally looks a lot better although this democracy is left in falling actually to some extent more here fundamentally rethink china's much more and actually. the drawbacks

have reduced evaluations to quite attractive levels and russia as well actually if you're now looking at the my colleagues p. e. ratios oh about five three thing that's quite attractive and given that russia also fundamentally in terms of a nation of it just like in china many many emerging market countries are actually in a better position so we put the put our clients etc in precious metals. and emerging market countries rather than in the rest regularly don't see any to figure that out now apologized for you out there but thanks very much for your analysis martin headachy speaking with us from hong kong thank you. stay with us your own r.t. still to come keeping fit by all we report on iraq. where the governors keep fit montra is keeping the population a healthy by water. but first palestinians have made another inroad at the u.n. by moving. a step closer to joining the heritage group unesco they can now submit their bid for approval by the end of the month it would then allow palestinians to
