10:02 am
recently is that during a demonstration there was a certain amount of protesters that try to push through barricades and at that point police started swinging their times and spraying pepper spray at protesters i mean you can just see that in the video it was a bit of mayhem we heard people in the crowd screaming the officers were telling protesters get out move back clearly there were injuries and overall from what is being reported so far twenty eight people were arrested arrested but dozens clearly were injured or near people that were injured because it was quite chaotic now this of course is not the first incident that we've seen of clashes between police officers as officers and protesters you know last week nearly eight hundred people were arrested in one day that came out to protest against our corporate influence on u.s. politics and and as they called wall street greed the week before we saw female
10:03 am

10:04 am
a nationwide movement but what the protesters actually hope to achieve what have they been telling you. well you know i did have a chance to go down to the wall street camp the camp area where these protesters have been sort of sleeping for nearly three weeks and i will tell you this they are they are well read they are very internet socially savvy and they all feel frustrated. when it comes to what is happening with the economy in their own country their very matter of the corporate influence over u.s. politics the amount of money corporations and financial institutions donate to political candidates presidential candidates and then they say that favors are returned back and that is why they believe that corporations and banking institutions are profiting now are paying zero taxes or very little taxes and while
10:05 am
the common american is struggling three years after the financial crisis forty five million americans on food stamps fourteen million americans without a job and those that have a job in this country many of them are struggling to hold onto it what they want right now is accountability they want the wealth disparity in the u.s. to close for things to become a little bit more balance for not just the richest one percent of the us to reap the rewards they want for this country to be more economically and socially balanced and knott's what they're demanding and clearly you see that this is the first ration that's being shared by many people of many ages not just in new york city but all over the country and we of course continue to keep our eye on the situation in new york for now are to use more important covering the occupy wall street protests thanks for. well on our web site our do you dot com we're asking viewers what the outcome of those u.s.
10:06 am
rallies might be so far the majority is sure there will be a lot of 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 and only fourteen percent believe it will actually be born we want to know what you think log on to our problems and have your say. 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 our genes are bennett reports on the media's quick far 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
10:07 am
least that's what much of the western media said after the apparent butchering zeinab we have you pictures of what was done to zeinab squibs and they are simply too gruesome to aerate several western media outlets were quick to report hellholes in these 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. . it's a good police station to say the truth this 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 even claim 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 you know will cautious and phrase things a little bit more nuanced the state broadcaster says the interviews to dispel what
10:08 am
it labels fan brick ations by foreign media the serve western interests and 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 an armed sad civilians being targeted by gun toting rebels so perhaps not the peaceful opposition there have been made out to be by the west it only seems to look one way this notion that the u.s. is now part of this pro-democracy receive regime is ridiculous they are jumping on that banner where again is an opportunity to get out front of it and create this deceptive appearance while at the same time there's a dictatorship that are aligned with them and united nations and it's part of their empire russia and china vetoed a u.n. resolution for syria saying. it is a potential cover for another libyan style intervention so it may not be any oil this time but there's always an ulterior motive its importance is as
10:09 am
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 altar into a political motive to lead to some followed by a 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 r.t. london. russia and china vetoed a u.n. resolution on syria over concerns the mandate could pave the way for a libya style military intervention said nato's actions in libya did not save civilians caused more casualties and step so far president of the arab oil association says that people's lives were never at the heart of nato campaign. you have to remember the resolution of the u.n. well. when you can find two no fly zones to imposing
10:10 am
a no fly zones it was there to protect civilians at the end of the day we end up with nato actually going to war against the people of libya obviously the dictatorship which prevails there is no reason to declare war on the people often libya by nato i think the u.s. britain france and the western powers 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 human rights council in geneva the commission which was asked to investigate the situation in libya came with a report saying that they have discussed with nato nato has confirmed to go quote that they have not had any targeting ideas that civilians i think nato is continuing its war against the libyan people albeit that they got rid of the
10:11 am
dictatorship 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 of these are the syria because we don't want better people form and swear by the u.n. took the position in iraq and then took the position in the u.n. and is not there to change or a jeans it's made perfect humanitarian purposes it might protect civilians it might stop wars but it is definitely not to change regimes. there's plenty ahead for you this hour here on our t.v. and exercise a day i'd only keep the doctor away but also how you work better at least that's what authorities say russia's head of the region they've instructed all state workers to do a workout right there in their offices more on that coming up in our russian close up series. but first as concern grows out the eurozone is falling
10:12 am
deeper into recession finance chiefs are harboring out plans to safeguard the region's begs you commission president jose manuel barroso said there were plans to recapitalize them there's doubt that the next bailout installment for greece will actually go ahead and fall out from the country's resulting default would feel 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 and angry crowds and to austerity protesters the government is imposing more cuts on equal amounts of debt some three hundred fifty billion euros the country ground to a halt as workers walked out in a general strike leaving fights grounded hospitals relying on the staff parties are further witness the greek capital as it boiled over. and doing nothing syntagma square once again bearing witness ok clashes between riot police here is a protest is so bad i'm going to take the background very good. deal for

thanks larry and in fact i mentioned really been writing as a police moved in to clear the crowds and shocking scenes at one point the police seem chasing protests as into the metro station many others hit and kicks by they supposed to be keeping control of the message being sent by the government is one of suppression and fear. scenes like this of raise serious questions about the level of fools being used in a list could go. is a forty three year old journalist he's reported for many conflicts it was in his country where he sustained his worst injury. i just remember thinking is this really happening including us shelter in an enclosure just. one policeman who i think was a commander in a very rudimentary taking pictures i told him i was a journalist but he gave an order and i had one of the flash burns thrown at me these are some pictures i took. place he taken shelter amplified the sound of the
10:14 am
flash bang causing always tehsil death injury which is cause. after the attack i won't call it an accident it was an attack my life's been like a small hail. an investigation was launched into the incident the progress has been slow a finalist tells us the countless cases against heavy handed police tactics they need to pull 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 of protesters is causing serious concern with the government continuing to implement severe austerity measures in a bid to receive that cash pensions looks set to keep escalating i think we are approaching fast. and easy to explain in.
10:15 am
the first reaction to. this crisis from europe. has been experienced in july. the impact of the financial crisis is being played out play by play well some tightness where there are now is that the financial crisis turned into an economic recession could bring the entire usa not just the greek people to their knees. euro zone leaders have left greece hanging and now has to wait for rescue until at least november but economic analysts martin hannett you believe athens would be better off if it did default and then start afresh. if they default it may actually not be the thing and not just greed i would think peter little 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 abate if they can devalue their currencies have
10:16 am
a lot of says become more competitive again so. that may actually be potentially the best solution on the other hand if they're very large everything you would sacrifice in their currency is the ability of the euro to all the thing is the most likely possibly if the leaders for example in germany are managing to sell their to the to the public is they are most likely to print and sacrifice currency stability in order to avoid this uncontrolled collapse which would be quite difficult for politicians to tear people your money in the bank is gone. that was economic analyst warren headachy with his view on how castro eurozone countries should react to the debt crisis. washington is threatening to leave your nest go without american cash as the world's education and heritage group moves a step closer to allowing palestine to join the u.s. gives is it gives tens of millions of dollars to you know asco we can't legally
