video officers swatted protesters with the times sprayed them with mates at first for 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 i think 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 to 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 and thus far i occupy wall street that now it's because a dozen who 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 boston debts just to name a few we know one is being planned in and in washington d.c. in the next few days now this is this is clearly gaining an enormous momentum it's not just a group of activists these are now frustrated americans coming together with grievances about the way the q.s. system is structured and the way the economy is in decline and not benefiting from the common day america. we're gathering your thoughts on the protests in new york here's how the votes are stacking up right now at r.t. dot com we're asking what will be of the biggest result of the wall street protests

almost half so far think they'll be all noise and no action just over a quarter think it will seal obama's fate as a one term president around a think it will actually prompt some kind of reform while the rest think the anger will boil over and provoke clashes with the national guard add your voice at our team's dot com. turning to syria add least six people have been reported killed in the latest clashes between protesters and security forces human rights groups continue to sound the alarm or multiple arrests and killings but one high profile victim has made an amazing reappearance artie's ivor bennett reports on the media's quickfire reactions to the expense 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 pictures of what was done to zeniths

corpse and they are simply too gruesome to air several western media outlets were quick to report sound holes in these gruesome death apparently the first woman killed in government custody but now it appease 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 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 us britain and france for un

sanctions to be slapped on syria but their foundations are now looking shakier than ever this footage religiously shows unarmed civilians being targeted by gun toting rebels so perhaps not the peaceful opposition there from made out to be by the west that only seems to look one way. this notion that the u.s. is now part of this pro-democracy receipt regime is ridiculous they are jumping on that bandwagon is an opportunity to get out front of it and create this deceptive appearance while at the same time they're supporting the dictatorship flitter aligned with them and we know the nation is part of their empire russia and china vetoed a u.n. resolution for syria seeing through it as a potential cover for another libya install intervention so they may not be any oil this time but there's always an ulterior motive it's important as 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 the vetoes of followed by security council walkout 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 either bennett's artsy london. syria's presidential adviser has been speaking with r.t. and says the syrians want talks and not western interference. other than decisions taken by the western countries are based not on real events in syria but rather a new task of suppressing syria as an arabic state the problem is that some states fund and harm terrorist groups operating in our towns and villages and this makes ordinary people's lives very difficult and puts them in real danger it's up to the syrian opposition to protest against foreign interference to position should purchase a bait in dialogue for the goal of reform and building

a new better syria you shouldn't nurture itself listen to provokers could turn against dialogue with the government. still to come one step closer toward being part of the year when we track the power for full recognition of the world body where they've just been given the nod to join it's cultural. but first greece's latest twenty four hour national strike turned violent with police firing tear gas crowds of protesters the country all but ground to a halt as greeks made their feelings known about the extra cuts they face so that the country can try and plug its massive three hundred fifty billion euro debt. has more from athens. syntagma square once again bearing witness ok clashes between riot police here is protesting so we go. back about. the right you know for a fact for larry in fact i'm attentions really be my thing as

a police moved in to clear the crowds some shocking. one point the police chasing protests is into the metro station many others hit kicks by they supposed to be keeping control. but the message being sent by the government is one of repression and fear. seems like this is very serious questions about the level of force being used. to pry it is a forty three year old journalist he's reported from many conflicts. but it was in his country where he sustained his was. i just remember thinking is this really happening i took shelter in an enclosure just talking and one policeman who i think was a commander in the very room we are taking pictures i told him i was a journalist but he gave an order. thrown at me these are some pictures i took. the place he'd taken shelter the five the sound of the flash bang.

after that i won't call it an accident it was an attack like a small. an investigation was launched into the incident the progress has been slow a fact the nameless tells the countless cases against heavy handed police tactics and to support any kind of results we witness for ourselves the lack of discrimination when the police lash out one journalist 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 severe was staring in a bid to. cash tensions looks set to keep escalating i think we are. in. to explain it's a form of. the first reaction. when

we. experienced. the impact of the financial crisis is being played out play by play well sometimes in the square there are now fears that the financial crisis ten into an economic recession could bring the entire usa just to bring people to their knees. chris is financial process is being worsened by the admission that it won't hit its budget targets economic analyst martin hannett he thinks the only way for greece to survive is to default and start fresh. if they default it may actually not be the thing and not just greed i would think if utility 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 they can devalue their currencies every autopsies become more competitive again so. that may actually be potentially the best solution on the

other hand if they bail out everything you would sacrifice in their currencies to delivery of the euro to all we think is the most likely possibly if the leaders for example in germany are managing to sell that to the to the public. they are most likely to print and sacrifice currencies the ability in order to avoid this uncontrolled collapse would be quite difficult for politicians to tear people your money in the bank is gone. stay with us here on our t.v. still to come this hour keeping fit artificially you report from our pens a region where the governor is an exercise montrose spurring the population to stay healthy by a wall. but first palestinians have made another inroad at the u.n. by moving a step closer toward joining the heritage group unesco they could now submit their bid for approval by the end of the month that will allow palestinians to try to get their monuments registered as part of the world heritage sites the bid was given the green light despite opposition from the united states it's a key diplomatic victory for palestinians at the u.n.

and comes ahead of the vote for its full statehood palestinian leader mahmoud abbas live for the security council membership in september it's now working its way through the process. turning now to some other stories making headlines across the globe the iconic co-founder of apple computer steve jobs has passed away after an eight year battle with pancreatic cancer he led apple to becoming the world's biggest computer firm and presided over an empire that revolutionized computing mobile communications and even how we listen to music jobs he was fifty six only stepped down from the leadership of apple a few weeks ago leaving a company with no more cash on hand than the u.s. government built on the back of pioneering products including the i pod i pad and i phone. mass graves containing around nine hundred bodies have been discovered by authorities in the libyan capital they're believed to be victims of tosh's between former rebels and gadhafi loyalists in tripoli the new government's fighters are

now pushing toward the center of sirte the colonel's hometown and one of its final strongholds in the conflict has taken more than thirty thousand lives since starting in february. russia says it's concerned over the u.s. move to deploy four warships with ballistic missile defenses off the spanish coast the u.s. has also sealed deals with poland turkey and romania to station ground based missile defense elements washington claims its to counter threats from iran and north korea russia feels and could neutralize its own nuclear deterrent moscow has repeatedly asked for it and nato guarantees but received nothing so far. time to take in more of russia close up and today we're on a health care. or in the pens a region in the east of the european plain although most of its territory lies in the volga highlands the capital is also called panzer it was founded as

a small fortress in the seventeenth century and growing ever sense stay the city's striving to be one of russia's healthiest and safest water of the governor or he got on the run and went to find out more. almost every day the government is telling us that we should eat more fruits and vegetables drink less exercise more of course many people ignore these recommendations in fact working for the government will be very frustrating always telling people to do stuff but having no way of enforcing it now what would happen if you could actually make people follow through and be more healthy well officials are no longer have to wonder because in terms of exactly what the government has done getting health care whether they like it or not every weekday morning at ten am the turmoil in state institutions across spans are begins a familiar announcement a. cheerful voice or so it's worked out by now familiar exercises of the governor's

instructions no one is allowed to slack off. some go beyond what's required. so this is this has returned to my youth and my youth to me we love our governor's initiatives and. officials in this district have been told to leave the company car and the garridge and get on their bikes now all government business just to form from the saddle. the head of the local administration says initiative has not only improved health but brought officials closer to the people. i asked the governor can we have one more car to help us with our gc's he said you can have three to scooters under by 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 in soviet times violate people's rights

but a sports metaphor the motor bike rider denies the accusations and my abusing 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. looking for bad children the governor has imposed a curfew for unsupervised under sixteen so. as not i think it is a waste of police time to tell those children with arrested and returned to their homes we haven't seen them out on the streets again and in this day there are no violators at all as the youth patrol wraps up with white all round the citizens of pens they can sleep well. safe in the knowledge that with passing day they're healthier more comfy and their springtime free of. i'm here with colin

hinchey he's been living here for fourteen years and we've just heard about all these health measures and everything else that the governor is suggesting that would somebody with an outsider perspective what's what's your take on this can you take that seriously absolutely i mean the governor's been very proactive a lot of investment going into new sports complex sports programs tickler with companies as well. so you know it has been very active and this policy in hospitals been built on diagnostics and. you know there's been some real results of this practice building on one of the things that the governor. did tell me is that the reason he's introducing this is to make the area more attractive for investment up to a healthier workforce is a more attractive one i mean do you think that that's one of the criteria in which people do you ask them about their drinking habits their smoking habits and so on when you when you take people on absolutely i mean drinking and so it's a very serious thing and if anybody drinks at work or comes and drove them i thought it made it

a strict rule from my perspective. in terms of you know active in a sports it's always good for the mind that's good and healthy so people with a good regime and an active regime a season usually produces better work and so they all move forward thank you colin hinchey talking about the government's health initiatives. there's more pressure if you discover on our web site r.t. dot com here's what else is a click away right now. america's king of talk larry king talks to r.t. about one of his final primetime interviews with russia's prime minister vladimir putin. and why a conflict over job could see the world's longest running sitcom the simpsons draw to a close. finally this news blog has been at the forefront of russian classical music for two

centuries and now st petersburg's marine ski orchestra has opened the jubilee season for new york's carnegie hall. it's the second time the musicians have been invited this time they performed last time they performed it was at the opening of the hundred twentieth anniversary season this coming up the program under the baton of the maestro valerie garrett the future is a number of works by celebrated russian composers including of course a touch of tchaikovsky and there is more to come with a set of concerts at carnegie hall in the coming days. finally staging the olympics is a big bucks event but among the grassroots preparations in the russian resort of sochi is an army of volunteers and winter games are still a pretty far off but already a band of intrepid interpreters are warming up to welcome thousands of visitors to the games on artie's dennett's polaski went to meet some of them.

greetings quite an introduction all her winter olympics these people will be a special dream team an army of enthusiasm who will provide guidance and translation for all visitors. eleven venues will be. volunteers say this is their first meeting of the algae to a greater chance to get to the each other to share their stories sleeper they're going to slice it and they're actually using ships of the games to look under. from southern russia he's new to the movement she started during the one nine hundred eighty six and even though there are generations apart there are equally excited about the job ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah. next year part of this group will go to london for the twenty twelve summer games i think one of the panels of the same.

token i think. expect the phone to his huge amount from. the cowboy greetings is likely to remain a secret handshake for sochi volunteers they say it won't be used to greet gas but chanting and dancing apart the voluntary helpers are taking on the task of making the games unforgettable event for all. our team sochi. and coming up later walks for a little more of russia when we take you to the shopman heartlands of southern siberia coming away about ten minutes but first green is up next with the business headlines. how i welcome to our business votes on the south thanks for joining me russell markets are edging higher following those gains in asia and on wall street's however the bears still have the run of the shop as the problems with the european debt and u.s. growth remain on results now to discuss the mood on the markets i'm joined by los

christensen c.e.o. of sachs a bank thank you sir for coming to the program thank you ok so sentiment is hard it's a hard thing to come to sort of quantify but would you say that there's been some improvement in the mood globally no i wouldn't i wouldn't say so maybe maybe for one day but but from everything i see when i'm traveling around what i hear from my comments there's actually a spreading feeling of apathy of lack of conviction about the will to do anything about the situation particularly the eurozone obviously so i think you're i think sentiment still cheery of course but from your point of view are you convinced that europe could resolve these problems that the debt crisis eventually not really come into it all to be honest i think what we're seeing here is the usual response trying to find in the next place to borrow money to pay off debt and it's just not the way to handle a situation like that they say kicking the can down the road it still shows up again and i'm very on convinced that because there are no real willingness to the other solutions but they have

a chance for you to grasp at the root problem which is to have before you've got to you've got to be for certain in greece and other countries you have to what you would just pop expenditure to income and that's a tough one for politicians to sell just opened an office here in russia so does that mean there's some optimism concern in this country well the time of crisis to open an office or an optimist on the long run and certainly for countries in emerging economies like like russia i think over the five to ten year period you will definitely see stronger growth from russia to them for example which europe and that's why we have sex a bank deliberately try to get out and get involved in those types of markets so in that sense some are very optimistic for russia in the long but you're saying you know. optimistic about but judging by the crisis we've seen before russia's always been hit hard what about how different it is for the country from your perspective i don't think necessarily it's a different i mean but that's that's most emerging markets you know it's like watching an old. country true american find it's

a little bit stronger down so it's a bit stronger and also one that's trouble with home investors pull money out of emerging markets but they put them right back in so they'll be on the road but. also in russia of course with oil dependency that's also an extra problem because oil prices tend to go down when europe and u.s. does badly but again in the long run that's when we look at the opening offices we're looking at the long arm and i know that russia will back and prosper strong as other emerging markets perhaps because as many emerging markets are beginning to be more developed and the developed markets are sort of sliding back is that just. factoring in the very long run we're going to meet and hopefully they're going to meet all of the high place but there's certainly a risk that it's going to be somewhere in the middle because i think the challenges in the developed markets are very very big and it seems to be very difficult particularly when you assume to get a unified post of response and willingness to deal with the issue but the emerging markets are going to go up which you know here is a pretty safe bet that's why we want to be places like russia ok well

congratulations. and thanks for coming to the program thank you and that was. with me in the studio now let's take a look at the markets oil is trading near four day high investors bet that lower crude stockpiles in the u.s. indicate that fueled the man may increase the world's largest economy brant is trading at one hundred three dollars per barrel while. moment over eighty dollars a barrel european stocks are higher with banks leading the gains investors are waiting for the latest trade decisions from the european central bank bank of england this is a four point nine percent lead against the banking sector while express dropped. five percent up to cutting its outlook for the year here in russia markets are posting their largest gains and more than a week strong performance is boring and albie jobs report in the u.s. and growing up to mizzen the e.u. will step up measures to contain its debt crisis look at some individual channels
