6:12 am
of the last strongholds of the dispose the post i should say colonel gadhafi it's after renewed assault on the town with heavy tank and rocket fire there's still have the resistance on the streets from those loyal to the ousted leader reports claiming thousands of people have left many more will remain the leaders of congress more civilian casualties in an audio message supposedly from developing himself there was a call for libyans to rise and resist the end term leaders but british based activists and journalists who can chime in says we shouldn't expect western powers to leave libya anytime soon. from the part of the global south africa in particular this is being an absolute disaster and civilians are clearly targeted and i think now china in this last few days china and russia have vetoed the u.n. resolution which is a similar program by nato which they cannot from libya but they want to conduct now in syria i think china and russia have admitted that they will fall over the
6:13 am
resolution one hundred seventy three on one libya and they're not going to be fooled again there's no sign whatsoever that nato is going to leave nato it will intervene even. if the faction amongst the rebels continues to this is the relationship continues to worsen and it's very clear that for the west and for nato there are men on the ground it's people like jabril and so the battle is far from over. the clock's ticking for a decision on a palestine's bid for you had membership and president abbas is using it to rally whatever support he can and is currently lobbying international groups in france back home times already running out for palestinians are being squeezed out of their own cities by jewish settlers as are t.v. reports in fifteen minutes from now. we hear it because our cash out states. god promised them this million belongs to.

6:15 am
downgraded after indications that the british government is now last inclined to bail them out again if they get into trouble because confidence in financials and those with large savings for being encouraged to move elsewhere place there is. the bank of england also sees more trouble on the horizon it's about seventy five billion pounds into prince teetering economy and one leading british economist told r.t. that in fact the more cash but part time we already have inflation of around about five percent in the united kingdom which compared to recent years is these wholly putting more money into the economy risks actually increasing that inflation it's kind of england's central key toss to actually keep inflation under control two and a half percent or less my concern is that quantitative easing throwing another suddenly floyd billion pounds into the economy is actually a distraction from what the u.k. government needs which is a very aggressive and radical growth strategies one that i think they lack at the
6:16 am
moment what we've got to get away from in the united kingdom and actually right across the western world more generally is this all we do that every single bank is culpable because if they get into trouble the taxpayer will play all the banks and one of the key things that the u.k. government is struggling with is how do we allow what right to go through the wall and so fail without actually destroying the wider economy and i think that these these downgrades. actually reflect the fact that we are beginning to move away from what was a hopeless and helpless situation which basically every bank you could if you crashed in the time it would be government would come to their rights it was a grim warning put in the sun by which you would wish to have an honest notice from your doctor about your state of health i think it is a welcome warning. well it seems there are a few countries escaping public anger at the prospect of more pain to pay for national debts let's return to new york now to find out whether the occupy wall
6:17 am
street campaigners think they'll win their fight against bankers power. i'm here. this week let's talk about that i think what we're really protesting is you know the failure of the system to respond to you know a kind of higher calling for you know our country you know we can be subjected to. you know one percent of the one percent those are the real bad guys you know who make over five million ten million dollars a year boarding that well i do feel that the country is in a very serious serious situation but it just the united states or is it a global issue it's a global issue but the united states says that the center of the of all of the most important issues right now that we're getting pieces that are from spain to money ponsonby to spain where we have people feel like i just want to he's it really is
6:18 am
a little over to the other door. i mean thirty five percent up i want it on by one percent of the population if you're going to be that wealthy you should have to pay a tax to be that wealthy. fair do you think that's going to happen through movements like this you know now it's bad we're out here trying during the sixty's there were riots in newark and l.a. because of poverty inequality racism is separate i mean people riot and burn their old cities down as soon as that happened within a year there were all kinds of government programs to help people out because they got people really afraid i was going to spread all over the country we're trying to make sure that doesn't happen by having a peaceful revolution of some justice and some some enforcement of the regulations we already have on the books that would be a good start you can that's going to happen. i have to believe so yeah i have to be i believe so how is this going to achieve that. this is just like the genesis of
6:19 am
a bigger movements it's been going on for a couple weeks and every day gets larger and larger so. i think eventually it'll bring results though i think i think there's a large amount of discontent with what's going on in this country and i think that this is it's make it so people can identify me like no other people are feeling this way as well so i mean it and this is a rallying point i think that this is this is going to draw attention is also going to draw people in whether or not you agree with their methods and the bottom line is these people are getting the word out. but it's not only america where there's this shaking out the financial fallout thousands of students marched in the capitol protesting against education cuts through pain and flares at banks sometimes the railway lines were eventually just burst by police demonstrators say the events marking the new wave of what's been called autumn which last year saw several thousand people lost and police italy recently signed off forty five billion euros of cuts to type stuff.
