markets spiny managed to bounce back or four percent with the ruble gaining versus the dollar and the euro as oil comes back up when the e.c.b. promises more of it to support the financial sector more and that's in twenty minutes of this and so. it's seven pm in moscow this is r t coming to you live i'm nice now with our top story this evening pepper spray and tons have been used against thousands of occupy wall street protesters in new york people are angry with their government for favoring banks and corporations while doing little to help them and they've been roundly all over the country for a third week running. is monitoring the situation in new york. ever since street protesters have been turning out to take part in demonstrations now what happened most 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 batons and spraying pepper spray at protesters i mean you could 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 back 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 and protesters and you know last week nearly eight hundred people were arrested in one day the week before we saw. high wall street protesters just standing around when a police officer came up and mace those women in the face though this incident that

took place most recently of course came after five hours of new york city's biggest demonstration thus far to take place by an organ be organized by this group called occupy wall street not only activists out on the street but members of thirty different the unions joined the fight so did students so we saw between ten and twenty thousand people walking through lower manhattan joining this fight against corporate influence over u.s. politics against what they call girl street greed you know i did have a chance to go down to the wall street camp camp area where these purchases 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 so. usually savvy and they all feel frustrated. when it comes to what is happening with the economy in their own country they're very matter of the corporate influence over u.s.

politics the amount of money 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 the common american is struggling three years after the financial crisis what they want right now is accountability they 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 u.s. to reap the rewards they want for this country to be more economically and socially balanced and that's what they're demanding and clearly you see that this is a frustration that's being shared by many people of many ages not just in new york city but all over the country. on our website or two dot com we're asking viewers

what the outcome of those u.s. rallies might be so far the majority is sure they'll be a lot of noise but very little action a quarter of the anger will boil over and provoke clashes with the national guard one fifth of the voters and for president obama's health of the second term and only seventeen percent believe it will actually be reformed log on and have your say r t. moscow says nato has actions in libya haven't saved civilians but caused more casualties instead russia and china vetoed a u.n. resolution on syria over concerns the mandate could pave the way for a libya style military intervention but for more on this we're now joined live by colin powell who is the head of the state to most foreign affairs committee thanks for being with us mr conceptual the u.s. and some e.u.

states have criticized russia and china for vetoing the un resolution on syria so you think that's a fair reaction. this is definitely not a fair reaction the right of veto is one of the most essential parts of the u.n. mechanism. taking collective decisions in the most crucial issues is the precondition and i believe that. russia along with some other countries understands better what is going on in syria we definitely see that it's not just just black and white with the government or the ruling thor it is which are bad and the opposition which is fairly good it's much much more complicated because number one and number two which is equally important is there the really good thought it is of syria are prepared to do more in order to

introduce democratic reforms in the country so the syrian nation still has a chance of the preceeding. revolutions and they believe that we were doing really well since taking it step by step is the only way to handle the situation in syria which may otherwise explode any more moment causing much. much more serious troubles for the people of syria you heard rush of the large alas and from the libya resolution and so veto that mandate on syria. how close do you think the mask was a repeat of the situation in libya. well the situation in libya was not so easy and. complicated either but i believe that the current development is not good at all because of the crisis in

libya continuous and even if and when the new government there will be established it will believe this government will be questioned by the coming position for the simple reason this new government will be there just because to receive. military aid from you brought in this is not good for the country when the faith of its. nation is determined by. four in fact or so i do not think they have the worst time for libya is over unfortunately the country faces a new year troubles and i believe that the experiences from this very difficult development should be drawn not just by russia but by all the other countries speech should wish prosperity and success of the people of libya but this

mission of course in libya started as a humanitarian mission and foreign minister sergei lavrov has recently said that nato the actions in the country didn't save civilians but actually caused more casualties instead what do you think would have happened in the country in libya without foreign intervention. well nobody knows sprinkler speaking because. options. were existing at that moment and provably the military action of nato has saved some lives but it's equally all good. many casualties. could have been awarded in case these operations never took place so again this question does not have certain answer about. not seeing of their military operation was the best option for the people of libya but that said many

eyewitnesses are saying that the alliance in fact is targeting hospitals and schools in fear which is of course. his last stronghold and that if humanitarian crisis is developing do you think nato will ever have to answer for that well as far as i can see the statement the recent statements by the leadership of nato the are not. finalized to leave immediately the un security council mandate was just a. civil war in the in the current to be. introducing the regime don't fly zone nothing else. wants to to stay there and i'm sure the. for for many many weeks and many months as it had and this is definitely not in accordance with the loosened by

the security council this resolution is obviously brutally violated by the need to grow interest which would dissipate and disappear if constantly in touch of head of the state room our foreign affairs committee thank you very much for your time thank you. well meanwhile several people are reported dead in the latest clashes between and say 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 ours is our bennett 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 and zeinab

we're viewed pictures of what was done to zainab squibs and they are simply too gruesome there are several western media outlets who are quick to report al gore's 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 and that's 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 inevitably be more cautious and phrase things a little bit more nuanced the state broadcaster says the interviews to dispel what it labels found brick ations 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 civilians being targeted by gun toting rebels so perhaps not the peaceful opposition there have been 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 their their way again is an opportunity to get out front of it and create its deceptive appearance while at the same time there's the promoting the dictatorships that are aligned with them and 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 its importance is 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 altar into a political motive of vetoes of 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. well there's plenty ahead for you this hour and exercise a day not only keeps the doctor away but also helps you work better at least that's what authorities say in russia spends a region they've instructed all state workers to do a workout right there in their offices on that coming up in our russian close up series. but first as concern grows that the eurozone is falling deeper into recession finance chiefs are hammering out plans to safeguard the region's banks commission president jose manuel barroso so there were plans to recapitalise

these recommendations but it's like working for the government will be very frustrating always telling people to do stuff but having no way open for see it you know what would happen if you could actually make people follow through i would be more healthy well officials overall no longer have to wonder because in terms of that's exactly what the government has done. getting healthier whether they like it or not every weekday morning attorney am the tannoy in state institutions across cones or begins a familiar announcement. the nonimmigrant cheerful voice recites what are by now familiar exercises of the governor's instructions and no one is allowed to slack off some go beyond what's required. so. this has returned to my youth and my youth to me we all have our governors initiatives. officials and this district have been told to leave the company car in

a carriage and get on their bikes and now all government business has to form from the saddle ahead of the local administration so the initiative has not only improved health but brought officials closer to the people. i ask the governor can we have one more car to help us with her and she sees he said you can have three to scooters and thereby venture officials can observe people see who is up to what who is leading 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 mad for motorbike rider denies the accusations and i abusing human rights the only way i am abusing human race is by not giving people the opportunity to do even more physical exercise. as the clock strikes then.
