for a good evening for me kevin owen you're watching r t international live from moscow it's ten pm near here now in the capital and our top story tonight pepper spray a baton have been used against thousands of occupy wall street protesters in new york they're angry with the government for favoring banks and corporations while doing little to help them and they've been rallying all over the country for the third week running very important in new york for us where she's been monitoring the situation. the most recent event that took place was when the protesters that were gathered down on wall street tried to push through barricades and the police were there as you can see in the video started swinging but taunts at the protesters and also using pepper spray against all those that were closest to the police officers clearly i know there clash taking place. wall street demonstrations

have entered its third week now this was the pinnacle of the largest demonstration that has taken place thus far between ten and twenty thousand people were down in lower manhattan to come out to speak out and support the activists of occupy wall street we saw more than thirty different unions we saw transportation workers nurses teachers students not only in new york city but throughout the country walked out of school to take part in these demonstrations and what these people are saying is that they are sick of corporations and financial institutions and the u.s. politicians working hand in hand while the majority of americans are suffering on during the economic crisis they don't like the way that corporations are influencing politics and they believe that their elected officials need to begin working for all americans not just the richest ones they're not just taking place

in new york we've seen them in boston l.a. chicago they are spreading and there is clearly a sign because u.s. president barack obama held a press conference at the white house and he addressed this issue this growing movement straight on it's a movement that he cannot even ignore he said that the u.s. economy needs. the financial institutions to help the economy grow he did criticize the republican led congress for not imposing more regulations but he did speak directly to the frustrations of a. and here's what he had to say i think people are frustrated and. the protestors or. giving voice to a more broad based frustration about how our financial system works this is not just about the financial systems this is about as i mentioned corporate influence

over u.s. politics and this includes us president barack obama himself when i spoke to many of the demonstrators out on the street cited the campaign contributions that banksy made to president obama when he was a candidate in two thousand and eight goldman sachs contributed one million dollars more than that morgan chase contributed to obama more than eight hundred thousand dollars to his campaign we should mention in two thousand and ten j.p. morgan chase made seventeen point four billion dollars in profits and need no taxes these demonstrators out on the streets know their numbers they have done their research they see how the campaign contributions. and the corporate rewards are going hand in hand they know their numbers and they are holding everyone accountable and that includes the u.s. president so he needs to sort of at least pay attention to what they're saying because the fried the frustration is not solely to the financial institutions.

corresponding to new york they were a bit earlier i spoke to fool wall street executive. told me though it's your movements quickly go very moment. for a political protest movement that's so young it's not much more than two weeks old it's grown and gathered a surprising amount of support from surprising quarters in a very very short time for example you have several very major unions joining up with this group that's primarily young people and saying that we're on the same side we support them they support us we're going to help them any way we can so this to have that kind of. working people's groups like unions expressing such solidarity with the student led movement so early in the process it really fascinating development and rather impressive actually i think what they're doing is reasserting a set of values if you think of it as the early stage of

a movement where it's declaring its fundamental values and principles then i think it's actually although it's probably intuitive or accidental it's actually pretty smart of them not to get pinned down in saying we want a financial transactions tax or we want a blue ribbon investigation of wall street crime there really and this is why they've been able i think to start to get some attention those that are full wall street executive richard esko giving his take on the protests across the u.s. right now. 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 of multiple arrests and killings but one high profile victims made an amazing reappearance of these either bennett reports next to the media's quick reaction to a dramatic story at the expense of checking the 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're 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 gore's knees 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. . 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

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 shaky or the never this footage allegedly shows an armed pro assad civilians being targeted by gun toting rebels say 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 the pro-democracy receipt regime is ridiculous they are jumping on that bandwagon is an opportunity to get out front of it and create its 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 style intervention there 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 altar into a political motive the 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. russia and china vetoed a u.n. resolution on syria over concerns them and they could pave the way for a libya like intervention moscow says nader's actions in libya haven't saved civilians because more casualties instead contradict the child's head of the state duma foreign affairs committee says western powers should not take sides in syria and leave the country to find its own solution without revolt. we definitely see there 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 the really good thought it is so syria are prepared to do more in order to introduce democratic reforms in the country so the syrian nation still has a chance of proceeding with rebelution i do not think the worst time for libya is over probably the military action of nato has saved some lives but it's equally obvious that many casualties would have been awarded in case this operation never took place right now not seeing that this military operation was the best option for the people of libya steel nato wants to stay there and i'm sure that they will stay for many weeks and many months as head and this is definitely not in accordance with the only solution by the security council this resolution is

brutally violated by the need to counter speech participated in this of. the head on a lighter note exercise a day not only keeps the doctor away but it seems it helps you work better to restart the same muscles and the region they've been struck with all state workers to do it right there that in their offices there's a payoff we find out a bit later on a russian close up series. for that as concern grows that the eurozone is falling deeper into recession finance chief hammering out plans to safeguard the region's banks it's pronounced the receive forty billion euros of emergency loans from the european central bank and will continue to get as much money as the need for at least the next year the next bailout installment for greece will actually go ahead and the fallout from the country's result in default could deal a severe blow to europe's banking sector in greece itself right now the latest twenty for a nation. volunteers police fear. police fired tear gas rather angry crowds of

anti austerity protesters the government imposing more cuts on its people they're trying to cap that massive debt of some three hundred fifty billion euros the country gradual halters workers and a general strike leaving flights grounded in hospitals relying on emergency staff party sarah first the great capital boiled over. syntagma square once again bearing witness ok clashes between riot police here is protesting so we go to take that back right here in. the right here with that for larry. and the pensions really be my thing as a police moved in to clear the crowds some shocking scenes one point the police chasing protesters into the metro station many others hit by they supposed to be keeping control. but the message being sent by the government is one of repression and fear. scenes like this are very serious questions about the level of force

being used. to 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 this really happening increase i took shelter in an enclosure just. and one policeman who i think was a commander in a very room. 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 pictures i took. the place he taken shelter amplified the sound of the flash bang causing always takes all deafness and injury which is cause. after the attack 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 finalist tells us the countless cases against heavy handed police tactics and need to have any kind of result 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 they allow cash tensions looks set to keep escalating i think we are forced. to explain in. the first reaction. of the person the impact of the financial crisis is being played out play by play on syntagma square there are now fears that the financial crisis turned into an economic recession could bring the entire usa not just the greek people to their knees surface r.t.

. prepares for talks with the head of the i.m.f. . the world bank he can work on list michael ross told us it will be the one to suffer from its attempts to save the euro. it's always difficult to tell what happens if you really let greed is when corrupt or let go some banks bankrupt the banks are now on the actually know it already and i think what they discussed today in berlin or between. is to keep germany more or less as a hostage we have to stick on the euro we have to stick on the you we cannot leave it we must stick together and give all our money until the system comes completely breaks on the other hand we have also to take account of what is the e.c.b. today did today and when i look to the steps that were announced today i can only say the e.c.b. is committing suicide our central bank is committing suicide on the one hand helping banks with billions and billions they're buying junk bonds billiton

billions i mean where does this lead to it's one of the last confidence of the nail the last nail of the coffin of our central bank. house around the world tonight in world news in brief millions mourning the death of apple's co-founding genius steve jobs the man behind the iconic mac i pod i phone and i pad he died peacefully aged fifty six after years spent pathing pancreatic cancer led apple to its positions the world's biggest computer firm and presided over an empire that revolutionized computing mobile phones and even listening to music the sad news the biggest online we have is reaching ten thousand tweets a second. nobel prize for literature is going to swedish poet thomas transformer was praised by the academy for quote his condensed translucent images which give a fresh access to reality surreal books explore the nature of life and that can translate to more than sixty languages the eighty year old literate master will see
