a license to explore one of the country's largest undeveloped gas fields all of that in our business because i think it's. one pm in moscow and matras are good to have you with us here on r t our top story the banker backlash in the united states is spreading with major rallies now held in washington los angeles and other several large cities thousands joined expressing their anger at economic inequalities and high unemployment demonstrations started last month when protesters started pitching tents in front of the new york stock exchange under the banner occupy wall street earlier this week heavy handed police were film using batons and pepper spray to disperse the crowds the aftermath of a year is a financial strife are causing people's patience to run out and they say they're angry at the banks for triggering it all in the first place when journalist who

joined the campaign says the protesters will not stop the med the social and economic justice. the police did receive what is it 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 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 down 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 went beyond dispersing i agree crowds one independent reporter who's tried to cover of events says she got anything but 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 seven hundred other people as i was filming and so were our live stream careers i was also knocked down by a police officer on the front lines and 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 never afforded any of the protection that the mainstream media would it would be given because ultimately we are there documented something that is happening for americans enduring rising unemployment and falling living standards it can feel like capitol hill is speaking a different language the rallying calls and optimism are a far cry from a once mighty city which is now all but closed with its people on the poverty line or he's made important as the view 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 at the damage that's far worse they even not count or time workers who were in war time war and they also don't count long term unemployed people who are unemployed for over six months back in time those people would have been considered unemployed but the government constantly changes the definition of who's unemployed and they do that so that the unemployment number looks lower than it otherwise

would have been when 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 a more telling but often ignored statistic as if they were included and 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 will campaign it'll alstom 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 the no-b.s. 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 begin to get higher and rather than trying to. 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 it devastates that were made us president barack obama has proposed a four hundred forty seven billion dollar plan for the help yourself to keep america's workforce but just like any lights they even procedure recovery can only be incomplete place when the police say it's fully understand. right now i am artsy new york. and he has analysis of the theory and fallout from the financial crisis online so click on r.t.

family finally wants to see justice done. for police who worked on this day five years ago it was a murder of a woman huff way through their shift had around four pm for a bit of political 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 the storm when you might be seeing you but i was well aware what kind of journalism my mother was into she would ok janelle you 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 who and my mother promised that after her first grandchild was born she would still go into chechnya and take up quite a journalistic work from right. but quiet journalistic work is not something you would associate on the political scale with chin best 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 your own murder still remains unpunished but you know. there have been different periods in the process busy when people were arrested almost simultaneously in two thousand and seven and passive when nothing was happening however the bands of recent months give a certain optimism for a successful ending successful in terms of finding the mastermind of the murder i can tell you the investigation was as active five years ago as it is now this time we would have had more evidence on you tube or good twenty eleven has indeed been a turning point in may prosecutors named a man who is believed to have pulled the trigger mahmoud abbas was arrested in chechnya after years on the run in belgium and shortly afterwards investigators announced they were close just solving one of the most high profile slayings in

with some russian mammary. a former high ranking police official dmitri probably a chilling call it was a middleman for money agreed to organize a criminal mob consisting of four people to cardio to be assassination he kept tabs on 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 to release that information. within you know berg as yet aware are not political worked up until hugs out 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 abroad but it's bad when it turns into pressure on prosecutors part of your friends for we still believe. for people who are my brothers and their friends who were in. two thousand and nine with little or in some way linked to

this murder but you cannot blame the cord security for the recruits who it was a lack of solid evidence presented in court and always happens because there was a public pressure on the prosecution to rush to judgment so we think that even terrorists were too premature. with the russian supreme court unknown to the acquittal of two thousand and nine and every opening of the investigation it's a significant part of the journey but it's certainly not b.n.c. one of the biggest challenges for investigators of these points is to find other suspects who are now on the run outside the country but just like on the political stand 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 of on the political just the dozen words on a piece of stone but these journalists life and her legacy could never be it's in

a forty by forty marble plates if you look at our children our team. two militants believed to be plotting a major terror attack on police have been killed in a special operation to russia's cabrito ball-carrier republic it was part of a planned police are solved on the suspects after a tip off their whereabouts the militants were cornered in a residential flat and given the chance to surrender but they were killed in a shootout with a law enforcement now officers were injured the incident happened in an area that remains restive following years of fighting and terror attacks. well stay with us here on our t.v. still to come pumping progress in russia's rural heartland we get up close to the pens a region where unique heart valve factory is keeping the beat for patients around the world. but first thousands of libyan soldiers are launching a final attack on nor market oxys hometown of sirte hundreds of vehicles with fighters are started pouring in the outskirts of sirte from benghazi heavy shelling

is happening in the area with pillars of black smoke rising from the city center of the libyan civil war which is claimed so far more than thirty thousand lives was joined by nato in march with a un objective to protect civilians but the president to be arab lawyers association tells r t the high death toll figures prove that nato did not have peaceful intentions. you have to remember the resolution of the u.n. was only confined to a no fly zones to impose 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 of libya obviously the dictatorship which prevails there is no reason to because war on the people off libya why he took i think the usa britain france and the western powers being 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 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 out that they have not had any targeting civilians i think nato is continuing its war against the libyan people ought to be that they got rid of the big data ship but we seem to be heading for the same exercise they have done in iraq and i think russia was right in taking the position of the syria because we've got on therapy performance whereby the un took the position in iraq and then took the position. the u. n. is not there to change or a jeans it may provide 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 top military commander there general john allen says u.s. troops will stay in afghanistan even after a twenty four teams polo deadline previously previously announced by nato when the white house what started a decade ago was a mission to get the perpetrators of nine eleven has transformed into an open ended hunt for the elusive taliban relentless militant attacks have been stepping up in recent months with several high profile assassinations and shootouts in the heart of the capital kabul civilian casualties are also on the rise but afghans saying they don't trust nato to protect them some former u.s. military officers are disillusioned with the war in china girl karen quite callous he thinks the true even of the invasion they have been to create a platform for keeping an eye on or possibly invading other targets. in many ways american people have not been told what we came to afghanistan to do and that mission is to build a sense which we have done to man those states and to operate militarily from those

bases against other countries in the region that mission is actually dan somewhat successful quite frankly don't think we ever intend to hand it back to any of the afghan people we put karzai in charge in december of two thousand and one as a supposed gallacher and of course never never elect a bad time a friend of a patsy of the american government and he remains there to the state you know we had no intention of allowing the afghan people to choose if they had if we were allowed to choose i think we would be long gone. you know. business is not about the afghans and it's unfortunate because a terrible terrible things have been done to that country. by americans and i hate it but it's not about this is about big power they can't kick us out and we're going to stay we've got permanent bases and we want to terrorize pakistan iran and be there to look at over the mountains into china. u.s.

closeup to take you deeper into the culture of the world's biggest country. continuing our travels in the pen's a region six hundred kilometers southeast of moscow the capital also called penza was founded as a small fortress in the seventeenth century on the banks of the sorra river but there's also a high tech hub within its rich heritage and it's also home to a unique heart valve factory saving people's lives around the world every day or two eager overrode never saw it in action is reporting huge footage of the surgery . both inside and outside of russia the health of old new russians and also the state of the russian medical profession often seen as something of a mixture between a joke and a horror story but the raw facts that challenge that's there it's

i'll tell you this twenty years ago up to one in five used to die during the surgery now the figure is around one percent of. the surgery was successful. retired army officer will be discharged in a week. i look forward to the rest of my life i can feel the cuts but if you meant hard working better i was to the i researched everywhere in the internet and it's fine i trust the vaal that is inside my heart. even. in just over an hour martin andrews gets a cultural kick out of moscow he heads to the renowned pushkin museum which has its center next year. when the museum was founded one of its main objectives was to become an educational institute for local students many of the exhibits on display inside the museum are exact copies of original masterpieces
