it's four pm here in the russian capital eight am in new york where pepper spray and batons have been used against thousands of occupy wall street protesters people angry with their government for favoring banks and corporations while doing a little to help them have been rallying all over the country for a third week running. has the details. about ten to twenty thousand demonstrators were out on this street but from what we're being told may have actually broke out when the crowds part of the crowds that formed in lower manhattan by a lot 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 made use of for spray according 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 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 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 soon the face by a police officer police officers have used. orange netting how to how to get to

these protesters that they say are acting disobedience 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 us far by 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 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 los angeles chicago this is this is clearly gaining and norma's momentum it's not

just a group of activists these are now frustrated americans coming together with grievances about the way the us system is structured and the way the economy is in decline and not benefiting from the common day american. marina port and i are reporting there on the mass protests in new york and across the u.s. on our website our two dot com we're asking our viewers what you think will be the outcome of these u.s. rallies so far the majority is sure they'll be much noise but very little action a quarter think the anger will boil over and provoke clashes with the national guard a fifth of the voters see it as the end for president obama's hopes for a second term in office and only thirteen percent believe it well actually lead to reform and let us know what you think drop us a line log on to our dot com. in other news

several people are reported dead in the latest clashes between anti-government protesters and security forces in syria human rights groups continue to sound the alarm over multiple arrests and killings but one high profile victim has made an amazing reappearance parties are better at reports now on the media's quickfire reaction to a dramatic story at the expense of checking facts 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 we viewed pictures of what was done to xena corpse and they are simply too gruesome to air several western media outlets were quick to report al holes 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 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 religiously shows unarmed 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 out front of it and create this deceptive appearance while at the same time there's a porting 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 stahl intervention so it may not be any oil this time but there's always an ulterior motive it's importance who's 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 for vetoes of followed by security council war 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 r.t. london. well russia and china vetoed a u.n. resolution on syria over concerns the mandate could pave the way for a libya style military intervention moscow said nato's actions in libya did not save civilians but cause more casualties instead well for more analysis on the situation in the region we're now joined live by. the president of the arab lawyers association joining us live from london via broadband thanks for being with us with nato helling its operation in libya as a success in valley to continue airstrikes civilians are still being killed by its humanitarian of bombing campaign what's the alliance next move as you see it. i think people have to remember that the resolution of the u.n. was in fact only confined to a no fly zones to imposing a no fly zones it was there to protect civilians and the end of the day we end up

with nato actually. going to war against the people of libya obviously if they should which prevail there is no reason to declare war on the people of libya by nato i think the usa britain france and the western powers are hiding now behind nato so that no one can point a finger but the figures of the casualties caused by nato bombing is really mounting two weeks ago and the human rights council in geneva the commission which was asked to investigate the situation in libya came with their report saying that they have discussed with nato but nato has confirmed to go call it that they have not had any targeting. against civilians so that is the confirmation they had there was no intentional targeting or civilians i think

nato is continuing its war it's the french the british the americans are really continuing the war against the libyan people albeit that they got rid of the data ship but we seem to be heading to the same exercise they have done in iraq and i think russia was right in taking the position because of the libya visit he syria because we don't want a repeat performance whereby the un took the position in iraq and then took the position in libya and now they were heading for syria and i think this is this cannot be allowed to continue and i think the russian position is yet again it has to carry the burden of trying to put the world right in the international scene. do you think that we could see another situation in syria as we've seen this humanitarian mission unfold in libya how do you think that's going to turn out how much how long can the un hold on to these vetoes coming from but if i may

non-western countries i think i think that. the. nation's security but i think russia and china should continue their position because the position is very clear that the euro is not there to change regimes it may provide humanitarian people purposes it might protect civilians it might stop wars but it is definitely not to change regimes and i think the speech or trials made in the security council that the syrian opposition. should understand that the u.n. is to protect them not to change their regime therefore there must be a discussion between the opposition who are absolutely right. against the dictatorship of the regime in egypt in syria but this is not the role of the u.n. to change the region and syria and i think this is the right position right some

bombshell mactire president of the arab lawyers association talking to us from london thanks for your input. back to our top story the occupy wall street protests in new york and the u.s. talk more about the situation and what it all means joining us now is stephen leatherman who is an author and a blogger at base for being with us stephen what do you think the outcome of these demonstrations will be. well what he did very closely. more about them or very concerned. they have a wonderful issues they're trying to address here are all important but they were called wish you nothing. changes. they go after the sole core issue as sole corner issue which is very simple is the power of money in private hands to make more of it at the post expense can i tell you some very important

things. and they need leadership they need committed leadership city by city this is spreading all over the country i haven't seen anything like this in forty years this may have legs if they do it right but so far the following short let me mention a couple of very important base one july fourth nineteen seventies nine seventeen seventy six thomas jefferson and barry his third president. was the leader of america's day to a racially divided government he said you don't make guarantees and alienable rights to all its citizens a said. quote you know where they went when it went into any form of government becomes destructive of these areas is the right of the people to alter or abolish it and to institute new government he said one more important

thing about the bakers the real begins he said quote i believe the baking institutions more dangerous to our lives we need them standing armies if the american people ever allow private base to control the issue of the congress the which they do today first by inflation deflation the banks and corporations even i'm very sorry to interrupt i just want to bring it back to some of the brutality of the brutal responses that we've been seeing on the streets in new york do you think that will stop the activists or simply provoke more action i think is so far for war but this is what cost two cops beat up on people cops cops in force the power of of the political was a. they go out may have bloomberg sent them out they go out because they want to go out they said they went out because the mayor sent them home bloomberg is. he doesn't want to give special privileges taken away from me and so he said something

cops they beat them up in new york he beat them up in other cities they beat them when they protest the i.m.f. and the world bank their. global institutions this is what cops do the people so far very courageously keeping it out of the they take heart from what they see going out of across the world and it's still going to go on can they continue this i worry that the weather will get colder loath they will lose their interest i live in chicago it can get very nasty to gargle quickly come out when the temperatures drop below zero when it snows will be easy right i wanted to ask you that just briefly we've been seeing these protests for three weeks now do you think it could come to that to people just getting tired and going home oh exactly what usually happens and that that's one of the power elite to legislate oh they'll send a cop so a little bit of an elusive beginning in the spring which is what i wish they did

the beginning of the fall and get is going to get called out too soon come november it'll start getting very cold in chicago it will get them new in the forty's and the thirty's around the freezing mark well these people come out of. i don't know this city went up and sleep on the streets and the numbers will be committed people but the big numbers probably won't join them the one masses in new york yesterday the biggest protest by for tens of thousands of people came out on the streets of new york who it would have thought that many would come out three weeks after this again maybe this could spread in those big numbers across america it did in the nineteenth sixty's and it was civil rights reform it did earlier for labor it was labor or a flawed. maybe you can do it. it won't be easy it won't be welcome it won't. risk the core issue of money power in america it's got to go.

there right stephen one man radio host author and blogger thank you very much for your analysis. as concern grows that the eurozone is falling deeper into recession finance chiefs are hammering out plans to safeguard the region's banks e.u. commission president jose manual bro so said there were plans to recapitalize them there's no doubt that the next battle out installment for greece will actually go ahead and fallout from the country's resulting to fault would deal a severe blow to europe's banking sector in greece itself the latest twenty four hour nationwide strike turned violent as police fired tear gas on angry crowds of anti austerity protesters the government is imposing more cuts on its people trying to cap a massive debt of some three hundred fifty billion euros the country ground to a halt as workers walked out in a general strike leaving flights grounded in hospitals and lying on the staff party

sorry for the greek capital as it boiled over. syntagma square once again bearing witness ok clashes between police here is protest is. that the background here. the right that you know. and the tensions really been my thing as a police moved in to clear the crowds some shocking scenes one point the police seem chasing protests as into the metro station many of the hit kicks by they supposed to be keeping control of the block 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. prior's 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

have mentioned most important issue of course hope was the issue of security now moscow has always place its full support force of will and does is a long struggle for independence from georgia moskos stood by some following the one nine hundred ninety s. a war between a president in georgia and in two thousand and eight when he believes he has attacked south the city had a puzzle it was. has expressed fears that may actually be next to what has taken a preemptive strike and declared independence and most of course was the first country to recognize that independence and just as a president with credit has signed and has ratified an agreement to establish military bases both in south or said to and in the process not peacekeeping the russian peacekeeping forces have a ready been stationed in there are both republics but this time around bases will be starting from the beginning with this group with the certification of this agreement bases will be stationed in both are probably explore the next forty eight

have already queried the second wave of the crisis we don't share that opinion and we would ask others not to make the situation worse by calling. them back prime minister vladimir putin said that russia is in a better position than some other countries because russia's government debt is less than ten percent of g.d.p. and when it comes to the external that is a three per cent and next year russia will not be boring any money now of course this is an investment forum and the whole while those who encourage people to bring a money into the russian. economy and that's why the prime minister highlights of the importance of privatizing and he said that the government is on track with those plans and they want to expand them even for their. own strategy is the state should reduce its presence in the economies therefore we will gradually withdraw from the capital of state corporations but privatizing states belonging to the
