moved in to contain the protesters trying what we saw on the video of officers swatted protesters with the times story that we had made its first frank morning to some reports even one local news reporter who is sprayed with pepper spray his how 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 however 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 police officers and anti wall street protesters who 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 us 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 soon the face by a police officer police officers have used orange netting. 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 dose far odd by occupy wall street that now it's because it doesn't believe or 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

channel. today. these are the images. for asians to rule the day. in syria at least six people reported killed latest clashes between protesters and security forces human rights groups continue to sound the alarm over multiple arrests and killings but one high profile victim made an amazing reappearance artie's ivory better 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 have you pictures of what was done to corpse and they are simply too gruesome to air several western media outlets were quick to report in these gruesome deaths 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 to 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

a geopolitical factor right next to israel a country which obviously america and britain and the other western powers strongly support so that would be the political motive. of followed by a security council count from 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. way one step closer to being part of the year when we track the path for full recognition of the worldwide you were just been given and joining. but first greece's latest twenty four hour nationwide strike turned violent with police firing 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 unplugging the massive three hundred fifty billion euro debt for

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 of the pictures i took. the place he taken shelter amplified the sound of the flash bang causing always take. an injury which is. after the attack i won't call it an accident it was an attack like a small hill. an investigation was launched into the incident the progress has been slow a finalist tells us the countless cases against heavy handed police tactics and need to have any kind of results we witness for ourselves the lack of discrimination when the police lash out when journalists flung with his camera to the ground the rise in the level of aggression seen by the police and the more extreme groups the protest is causing serious concern with the government continuing to implement severe austerity measures in

a curfew for unsupervised under sixteen. i do not think it is a waste of police time tell those children with their arrests and return to their homes we haven't seen them out on the streets again and this day. the remove all age is a tool as the youth patrol wraps up its final round the citizens of pens that can sleep well at the last safe in the knowledge that with each passing day the healthier more conscientious and streets are increasingly free for all you. see. more of a few to discover our website our t. dot com here's what else is a click away right now. the king of talk shows american larry king speaks with r.t. about one of his final primetime interviews with russia's prime minister vladimir putin. why a scramble for a job could be the see the world's longest running sitcom this him sins draw to a close.

banker backlash in a few minutes when max and stacey take on the global insurrection against greed but first the business headlines with karina. hello and welcome to this is our fate this hour thanks for watching us russia second largest lender. that's russia calling investment forum event as part of russia russia's effort to attract foreign investment this comes at a time when the country is suffering heavy capital outflow due to financial worldwide this is our culture that is at the fore for us getting arena so is the financial asserting making life difficult for events such as this to attract new capital. it is making life difficult for investors especially considering what we've seen happen when there are often a market plus of the ruble drop to its weakest close against the u.s. dollar and over the years also according to the latest reports of russia so and eighteen percent increase in foreign direct investments last year were worth around

thirty five billion dollars at the same time since the beginning of this year up until now fifty a billion dollars has already left the country and this is already three times more than in two thousand and seven well to discuss this further i'm now joined by the director of the new economics minister sergei good if thank you very much for joining me for inviting me to go out when you please tell us now russia was among the hardest hit in the recent market volatility this is why you know it's the weakness in the domestic economy to even doesn't really mean that russia is weak it just means that russia uses volatile and risky place for investment because russia does depend on the global oil price in the global financial system and we've seen that three years ago as well and we'll see that now and i think the good news is that the central bank of russia understands that there's going to lessons from the three years ago and doesn't want to probe operable above the market rate and so the world as a whole is we can fall in be in the markets i think i think russian economy will

have a good chance to. do reasonably soon i think the government can minimize its dependence on the oil. well that is a long term project and so far the government's been talking about it for twelve years now and failed to do that i think of the major things are fighting corruption ensuring property rights build him an effective judiciary system improving investment climate for investment in all known oil businesses so far government has failed to do that it keeps talking about that we'll see we'll call of a new government which is that all government will do that and how do you think the recent political announcements will if i process economy and i'm of course referring to the finance minister in the event and prime minister putin say that he will run in the upcoming elections as you mentioned investors are not convinced investors invest the investor sartre's irani away from russia so i think i think they are not convinced that these political changes or. changes i should say will create be investment climate action here and i think i think today's announcement

by mr putin stressed secretary of bad putin being compared with brezhnev is a good thing i think this announcement doesn't help but all investors don't like russian its economy so i assume that you do believe that we will see more capital flight in the run up to the election both depending on what kind of actions are undertaken if we see their populist speeches and if we see. we could placement for the finance minister if we see that government is creatively postponed him that he form sort of an undertaking and commit included forms i think there will be more capital outflow on the other hand as a global market volatility it sends a very strong signal to russian government that the russian government should change its course maybe we'll see a reinvented putin called does reforms cool it wakes to. a way to ease awaken to the need for change and maybe it'll be investors will love that then come back and just briefly can discuss what can be done to make

a domestic market more attractive. all of these things fighting corruption but i don't. protection for investors joining the. building will believe in fact if you do shooting people there's usually both major government companies there's again there's been announced for many many years now and then eventually working really from state capitals wolf we can invade of certain states get it was a bad idea but the government keeps growing here and taking more and more commanding points and we're going to. you are sitting here good or frank very much those that are right there all of the new economic school mistress who gave good air and of course there's lots more coming up here at the forum later on we'll hear from prime minister vladimir putin actually this will be his first speech after announcing that he will run in the upcoming presidential election so mowbray knew all the updates as soon as we got them. ok thank you marina and thank your guests for importing from russia calling investment thanks very much now let's take
