the wrath against wall street gathers momentum spreading beyond new york to other major cities as thousands of americans have bent against poverty and corporate greed. the key suspects in the killing of russian journalist anna politkovskaya by years ago to be formally charged with her murder investigators also say they found new accomplices was. clearly. pushing the purpose instead of pulling out quickly america's cloudy afghan exit strategy overshadowing the missions tenth anniversary with a deadline to expect you to.

putin in moscow i met a good to have you with us here on r t our top story the banker back in the u.s. is spreading with major rallies held in the washington los angeles and several other cities thousands adjoined to express their anger at economic inequality and high unemployment demonstrations started last month when protesters began hitching pens in front of the new york stock exchange under the better occupy wall street earlier this week heavy handed police work film using the toilet and pepper spray to disperse the crowds the aftermath of years of financial strife is causing people's patience to run out and they say they're angry at banks for triggering it in the first place one journalist who joined the campaign says the protesters will not stop demanding social and economic justice. the. did receive voters at four

point three million dollars from j.p. morgan chase just a couple days ago to help secure downtown manhattan and they're really hurting themselves and their image and they're showing what oppressive force there is to people who are just trying to peacefully walk down the wall street i mean all these people want to do is they want to walk down the iconic new york stock exchange they want to walk wall street and they're treating it they're treating us like we're dangerous terrorists so i do see the police being manipulated by these elites they're given the money and of course they're using tactics to try to squash us but that's only going to build us and make us a lot stronger strong arm tactics used by officers spread beyond dispersing angry crowds one independent reporter trying to cover the event says she didn't get anything about close to police protection as an independent journalist i actually had my own sort of run in with the place i was arrested on the brooklyn bridge last weekend with seven hundred other people as i was filming and so were our life

stream creators i was also knocked down by a police officer on the front lines of me in the union square protests. and i think it's raised a lot of interesting questions about what the role of independent journalism is you know as we sort of move forward. i mean i know that on the brooklyn bridge there were a couple times reporters that were arrested as well but you know it's it's a little frustrating that we are have afforded any of the protection that the mainstream media would it would be given because ultimately we are they are documented something that is happening for americans enduring rising unemployment and falling living standards it can seem like capitol hill is speaking a different language rallying cries and optimism a far cry from a once mighty city which is now all but closed with its people on the poverty line artie's marine important more from detroit. these are difficult years for our country but we are americans we are tougher than the times we live in the u.s.

great recession began as a real estate crisis in two thousand and seven today it's expanded into a national job emergency impossible to ignore the purpose of the american jobs act is simple. to put more people back to work according to the u.s. government nine point one percent of americans are unemployed yet experts say deceptive measures and statistical shenanigans are being used to mask a jobless epidemic that's far worse they even not count or time workers who are working full time war and they also don't count long term unemployed people who've been unemployed for over six months back in time those people would have been to survive employed but the government constantly changes the definition of who's not employed and they do that so that the unemployment number looks lower then it otherwise would have been one part time workers and the unemployed who have given up hope are factored in the real u.s.

unemployment rate increases to more than sixteen percent and more telling but often ignored statistic as if they were included then you know the government would have to acknowledge that they truly have a major crisis on and on and you know this is part of the problem and campaign it'll oust them to continue the status quo and society starts completely breaking down broken down and in ruins the city of detroit is feeling the full force of america's economic decline one in three residents live below the poverty line half of the city's public schools are closing and crime is skyrocketing the capital of the country's motor industry now has an official unemployment rate of just under thirty percent but city officials and residents like to know be a jeffries say the real figure is close to fifty how do you describe it it is. i think it's. indicative of what's going on in the rest of the country and they're

just now feeling it to heal america's economic suffering experts say u.s. leaders need to abandon exaggerated optimism for the ugly truth unemployment. going to continue to get higher inflation as you can to get higher and rather than trying to preach and i bet the situation isn't as bad as it is we need to accept how bad it is because then we have a better chance of recognizing the devastation were made us president barack obama has proposed a four hundred forty seven billion dollars plan for college first step to take america's workforce but just like any light saving procedure recovery can only begin to take place when the dissent is fully understood hurried up or down artsy new york. already has analysis of the theory and followed in the financial crisis online so check out our team dot com for more and also find this story. the new target for a notorious kansas bob his church the funeral of tech icon steve jobs may be

was a murder of a woman huff way through their shift at around four pm for a very political there it was hard way through her pregnancy when she got a call her mother had been shelled outside her apartment it was a watershed moment and there is life before and after. when you might see you but i was well aware what kind of journalism my mother was into she would ok janelle is see if something happens to me documents are the money's here here are all the numbers to call but we never really took it seriously i was four months pregnant the family was full of and my mother promised that after her first grandchild was born she would still go into chechnya and take up quieter journalistic work. but quiet journalistic work is not something you would associate are not called scale when she gets to gated corrupt security officials and exposed to human rights violations she help people when there are cases in the highest

courts in russia and in strasbourg but the irony is that five years later her own murder still remains unpunished but there are. there have been different periods in the process busy when ten people were arrested almost simultaneously in two thousand and seven and passive where nothing was happening however events of recent months give us certain optimism for a successful ending successful in terms of finding the mastermind of the murder i can tell you if then this again was active five years ago as it is now by this time i would have had more evidence. twenty eleven has indeed been a turning point in may prosecutors named a man who is believed to have the trigger the stomach mood of was arrested in chechnya after years on the run in belgium and shortly afterwards investigators announced they were closed just solving one of the most high profile slayings in misimpression memory. a former high ranking police official of the music of your

chain call it was a middle man for money agreed to organize a criminal more consisting of four people because there's a solution he kept tabs and all the costs provided the perpetrator with a gun and would organize other members of the group we also have other information about the alleged mastermind of the killing but it's too premature a truce that information. not with. norberg as yet aware are not fully worked up until her death has been carrying out its own investigation into the journalists murder and use papers deputy editor says it's good that interest in the case is so high both in russia and have brought but it's bad when it turns into a crash and prosecutors are smart move your friends before we still believe. for people who. are friends who are in. two thousand and nine would know or in some way linked to this murder but you cannot read for the record so it was

a lot of solid evidence presented in court and always happens because there was a public pressure on the prosecution to rush to judgment we think their arrangements were too premature dominical. the russian supreme court unknown to grow dupes of two thousand and nine and reopening of the investigation it's a significant part of the journal anything but it's not b.n.c. one of the biggest challenges for investigators at these points is to find other suspects who are now on the run outside the country but just like on the political scale herself her family and colleagues will never give up as they strive to find the truth it takes very little to describe someone's death in case on the political just the dozen words on a piece of stone but these journalists life and her legacy could not have a pizza in authority by portie marble plates it's even

a virtue of an art scene. to militants believed to be plotting a major terror attack against police were killed in a special operation in russia's republic of covered you know block area it was part of a planned police assault on the suspects after a tip about their whereabouts militants were cornered or in a residential flat and given the chance to surrender but they were killed in a shootout with police no officers were injured the incident happened in an area that remains arrested after years of fighting and terror attacks. still to come this hour pumping progress in russia's rural heartland get close up to the pens a region where a unique heart valve factory is keeping the beat for patients around the world. but first thousands of libyan soldiers are launching off and what's hot on the market off these hometown of sirte hundreds of vehicles with fighters were spotted pouring from the outskirts in the outskirts of sirte from benghazi heavy shelling happening in the area with pillars of black smoke seen rising from the city center of the

libyan civil war which is claimed more than thirty thousand lives was joined by nato in march with a un objective to protect civilians but the president of the arab lawyers association tells r t the high death toll proves that nato did not have peaceful intentions. have to remember the resolution of the u.n. was only confined to a no fly zones to imposing a no fly zones it was there to protect civilians i've end of the day we end up with nato actually going to war against the people who are libya obviously the dictatorship which prevails there is no reason to declare war on the people often to be abiding ito i think the usa britain france and the western powers are hiding now behind nato so that no one can point a finger but to figure stuff the casualties caused by nato bombing is really mounting two weeks ago in the human rights council in geneva the commission which

was asked to investigate the situation in libya came with the report saying that they have discussed with nato but nato has confirmed to go call it that they have not had any targeting civilians i think nato is continuing its war against libyan people ought to be that they both rid of the 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 this of the syria because we don't want better people form a square by the un took the position in iraq and then took the position in libya the u.n. is not there to change regimes it's made protect humanitarian purposes it might protect civilians it might stop wars but it is definitely not to change regimes. the war in afghanistan may stretch beyond thirteen years according to washington's

producer of artificial heart valves started by a single russian physicist emitting sprung up without government support none of the small team of inventors that worked with medical equipment manufacturer before now seven in ten above implanted in russia come from here may look like an overextended workshop but the quality of its products has allowed this company to supply them to over twenty countries over here they know that success can be fleeting. and we knew we had a successful invention with technology moves on we are small compared to our international rivals and so we knew we have to keep meeting new models just to survive. unusually for russia every new model was developed together with pages like a heart center the doctors he. but at first it was skepticism about a russian made piece of medical equipment which is so doctors are very conservative

very nature and the first day indications were very mistrustful of themselves to meet people try something new in themselves was difficult but i'll tell you this twenty years ago up to two thousand and five used to die during the surgery now the figure is around one percent of. the surgery was successful so again i retired army officer will be discharged within a week. i look forward to the rest of my life i can feel the cuts but i feel my heart working better as to the i researched everywhere in the internet about it and it's fine i trust the vaal that is inside my heart. even. see. when americans are not so far the latest business news stay with us here on r.t. .
