history of stories you know and also you just heard of the arab spring has come to the u.s. says say pretenses and revolt street greed and economic depression occupying the streets of american cities are built torches had been cracking down on the demonstrations despite washington still going to. have a stranger three people killed and one hundred eighty eight hundred thousands of christian protesters clashed with police in the streets of cairo the riots follow months of rising tensions as the country's revolution between classical muslims and christians included constant church. call to take. back ground to. help. on the tensions really been

rising greek public anger continues at a boiling point as the athens government gets an ultimatum from the international monetary fund bringing more storage occur it's also based total protestant. on the woman a western media reported as being a butchered by bashar al assad's regime in syria is a television saying this is alive and drought forcing an embarrassing determined by easing of their. own welcome to our seas it weekly review i mean you dash for valor and we start in the us where the occupy wall street protest movement is gaining momentum across the country previously ignored by the mainstream media is now making headline news with us politicians are lining up to have their say protesters who blame wall street for corporate greed and rampant unemployment comparing that marches to those of the

arab spring that led to a revolution in the middle east and north africa archie's marine approach reports. collective voices of american dissent has manifested into a movement in possible to ignore occupy wall street began in the world's financial capital but this week protests have policed dozens of cities nationwide. in the big apple up to fifteen thousand americans flooded lower manhattan labor unions transport workers teachers nurses and u.s. veterans standing shoulder to shoulder with young activists spearheading a fight against us wealth inequality and corporate greed young people right now have no hope in our society i just want to see a. more just society for young people coming up and all of the american people right now are suffering because there's a hard time this seems to be revolutionary to me and. the spirit of revolution is here and so i need to be

a part of what you are and not agree to be arrested anymore the whole entire control of the police state disappears when that happens there are credible possibilities that are open to us and certainly you can imagine a different world you believe you can be an agent of change the occupy movement has gained such momentum even the president who promised change was forced to address the issue i think people are frustrated and. you know the protesters are giving voice to a more broad based frustration about how our financial system works the american people understand that not everybody has been following the rules. that wall street is an example of that these days a lot of folks who are doing the right thing are rewarded a lot of folks who are doing the right thing or while the u.s. has encouraged and supported democratic uprisings in the arab world the same events

playing out of whom have been met with plutons pepper spray and the arrests of nearly eight hundred peaceful protesters on the brooklyn bridge a scene that reminded some of egypt's to hear sway you can follow me i believe our brothers and sisters all over the world care of spring in greece and spain and we can see that it did send a powerful message ordinary people are not going to stand for corporate greed anymore and that we're getting out and we're doing something about it three weeks into the anti wall street demonstrations the new york city police department has pumped two million dollars into overtime pay fines some critics say are being used to repress freedom two miles from the chaos of the united nations even financier and billionaire george soros weighed in on the populist uprising and surely i can understand this sentiment the decision not to inject capital into the

banks but to effectively. leave them out of bed this it gave the banks. profits as they see i can i can sympathize he says grievances spearheaded so loud and large that means free media outlets have been left with no other choice but to cover the protests in a matter of weeks occupy wall street not only mobilized international expansion many believe this ongoing of that would be like starting point for the rats were a mass movement coolants american politicians think so for the majority of the people in that demanding democracy from the very leaders that the motor bring up or die out artsy the new york. and formal treaty exactly separation. of concrete demands as action trends of the arts and corporate movement that striving to restore peace democracy means. this is actually for

a political protest movement that's so young 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 we're on the same side we support them they support us i think what they're doing is reasserting a set of values you know everybody who watches job should get a job business people and their customers should deal with one another fairly and honestly crimes korea including corporate crime should be punished and so on so if you think of it as the early stage of a movement where it's the clarion it's fundamental values and principles then i think it's actually although it's probably the 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. and our correspondents in america at the very heart of the grows as the new yorker and you can follow what they see as it happens about follow our twitter stream streams and they are actually underscore com and also ask the underscore america and they can find a link to our you tube channel where our cities lose a couple of discusses the latest events with some celebrities also in one of her tweets she says people like coming to the big apple to protest from all over the space along with their families. also later this hour the polish prime minister donald to school is already celebrating victory before the votes are counted but as examples of just these parties one parliamentary elections all the details later here on r.c. . plus some pages are being told from history textbooks in france with critics say younger generations will end up not knowing enough about their own country's hearts

will be. between. american pressure. is in cities like xander and at the time when people were really expecting a revolution this didn't get much attention then when the revolution came and it seemed at least in central cairo. people who were tensions in. the room. with local christian community and it's a real question this is symbolically is egypt going to go from being a secular occasion to being an islamic dictatorship and they will be many more people who will be happy to live. there are significant groups ten percent of the relation christians but there are many circular objections already and some would find themselves probably less free when they have. an islamic group and it's.

syria has warned it will retaliate against any country that formally recognizes the recent past august opposition national council member of the group is seeking international support for the six month long uprising against the assad regime a fresh wave of violence across the country with at least forty people reported killed. trying to cherish groups peaceful protesters has been in a state of pale since midnight protests demanding president assad steps down while many civilians have been held a report about why and i just felt he has forced the major western media outlets into the horizon he turned this week as r.t. as our other benefits. she was hailed as the flower of syria a 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 zeinab al gore's name we viewed pictures of what was done to seen ups corpse and they are simply too gruesome to take care of several western media outlets were quick to

report al gore's news gruesome death apparently the first woman killed in government custody but now it appears she's in a regular sleep back from the dead even being interviewed on syrian t.v. . i came to the police station to say 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 mother found the body in a morgue last month all assertions is now being forced to backtrack on we will inevitably be a 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 and stories like this that have been used to prop up calls from the us britain and france for un sanctions to be slapped on syria but their foundations are now

looking shaky than ever his footage religiously shows an armed civilians being targeted by gun toting rebels say perhaps not the peaceful opposition they have been made out to be by the west it only seems to look one way this notion that the us is now part of the pro-democracy regime is ridiculous they are jumping on that barrel where again is an opportunity to get create this deceptive appearance while at the same time there's according 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 so they may not be any oil this time but there's always an anterior motive our partners in the u.n. security council do not rule out a replay of the libyan scenario although they said more than once that they clearly understood syria is very different to libya and russia will continue resisting a chance to legitimize unilateral sanctions through the u.n.

security council that aim to overthrow political regimes the u.s. was not created for that purpose vetoes and followed by a security council walkout from america over remarks during the syrian envoy speech that the u.s. promised to be back with another resolution and undoubtedly more dramatic evidence to drive the point home either bennett r.t. . and later in the program a report on how the own growing libyan fighting is affecting the lives of civilians there as interim government forces edged closer to a symbolic triumph in the battle for control gives out his hometown of sirte and they also ask experts why the human cost of this so called liberation often goes unnoticed in. on the u.s. led we would have got it done and as a decade to you would be white house policy a complete pullout of troops that went to forty reports from a base in the country however with the chance of the which the just the opposite.

parliamentary elections have been taking place in poland and with results expected eight hundred monday as of point suggest that the u. pro e.u. policy headed by prime minister don't know is leading with around thirty percent of the votes ahead of his opponent you're also conservatives estimated to have thirty percent of our correspondents in. the late. we received the exit poll results suggest that the party of the current prime minister the civic platform party has managed to garner almost forty percent of the votes something about thirty nine percent of the votes with his main competitor the twin brother of the late president kaczynski and also his party the lone justice party has managed to gone something about thirty percent of the vote this is not certainly a victory for the macos t is not a single party can hold a majority in parliament he will have to form a coalition with other parties to be able to form the new government but certainly no aspirants have any doubts about the fact that saddam will be able to garner

another coalition and be able to take his government for a second spell in the power circles in poland and this in fact will become the first time since the communist regime and this is the communist times in poland the other party some party has managed to stay at power for a second spell in a row and in fact this comes as little surprise to many political experts this result has been pretty much predictable because the polls have been very much happy with the way the government has been running the country for the last four years according to all the surveys and opinion polls they have been happy with the fact that poll has managed to survive the global recession the era in the polish power circles signified the warm spell in there was supposedly a sense in particular after this new landscape tragedy when the country lost most of its political elite along with president understanding between it's

a country and says and. many experts credit mr miscible also for the strengthening ties between moscow and warsaw. german and french leaders have agreed on measures to save european banks that amazing in berlin transfer merkel and president sarkozy declared they were united on plans for recapitalization injecting more cash into ailing banks saying an economy can't be prosperous without stable and reliable financial institutions a potential greek default has intensified fears about this sector due to exposure to the country's massive debt and an ultimatum from the i.m.f. warns that greece must impose more budget cuts will face total collapse the stark message after is admitted failing to reduce the fees deficit to levels previously agreed pledges on a bailout is despite approving a deep man popular austerity program that artie's correspondents report angry greeks feel the need of the being neglected to satisfy the demands of.

syntagma square once again bearing witness ok clashes between riot police here is a protest is. that. you know. i mentioned really been writing as a police moved in to clear the crowds some shocking scenes one point the police chasing protesters into the station many others hit and kicked by they supposed to be keeping control. but the message being sent by the government is one of repression and fear. seems like there's a very serious questions about the level of force being used. prior is a forty three year old journalist who's reported for many conflicts but it was in his own country where he sustained his worst injury. i just remember thinking this is really happening increase to shelter in an enclosure just innocent and one

policeman who i think was a commander asked in a very rude. taking pictures i told him i was a journalist but he gave an order and i had one of those washburn's to let me these are some slides. pictures are to you not the place he taken shelter amplified the sound of the flash bang causing almost total darkness and injury which has cost me less his job. after the truck and we call it an accident it was in the truck like a small. investigation was launched into the incident the progress has been slow a finalist tells us the countless cases policy against heavy handed police tactics and lead to any kind of results we witness for ourselves the lack of discrimination when the police lash out when journalists along 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 further fairer cash pensions like sets to keep escalating i think . to. describe. the impact of the financial crisis is being played out blow by blow on some tightness where there are now fears that the financial crisis turn into an economic recession could bring entire year is a not just the greek people to their knees surface r.t. . and paul not our member of the european problem and the u.k. party told us that leaving the euro zone is the only option. basically the money is going to pay off there but the problem is they're not reducing the debt. it's

understandable we should never have been allowed to get into the order in the first place they broke so many rules their own rules to get greece in because this was all about politics it wasn't about economics and i feel very very sure for the very people the only way that the greek people will get back on their feet again is a kind of the order altogether and look it will be the end of the world for greece argentina was the last major countries involved in two thousand and one tree in two thousand and one and two thousand and six argentina's economy grew by sixty percent that is the answer to greece if you poll a poll that these people are being made to suffer because of ideological decisions that were taken many miles away in brussels ten years ago. this week the u.s. led war in afghanistan passed its ten year mark with nato troops nowhere close to defeating the taliban alliance plans to quit the country by the end of twenty four a scene that is jason not like reports editors of the ground suggest there's no rush to me. if the united states is drawing its troops from afghanistan why is its

largest base getting bigger u.s. led forces overread to tell about a late two thousand was buggered near field was little more than a flight telling the correct runway since then a former soviet base in the plains north of the afghan capital has grown into a small city let's get over twenty five thousand full time personal fleets of military hardware quick enough vehicles to cause traffic chinks in the expansion is no way aided by scores of colored trackers u.s. military engineers are constructing new housing and storage facilities to make room for even more maybe more work after sending an extra thirty thousand troops to afghanistan last year president obama started bringing them home this summer but with afghan forces struggling to stand alone it's likely that less will leave in plant and bases like this one are going to shrink in time so. at least there are plenty of home comforts for soldiers staying on for tell a few more appointments you can shop for everything from flat screen t.v.'s to fine jewelry enjoy a cappuccino and grab some take at the new pizza hut franchise and if i'm tired of

working out in the gym you're free to go to the salon for a hair cut in the side which will have some officials and try to limit such amenities calling them a distraction from the war the troops are happy to have an easier. way if you've always made me feel a lot better than i have a case that you're right. local afghan merchants are also glad to have the extra business both inside and outside the wire without agreement to soldiers my business would be nothing we like having them here but not everyone agrees diddly taliban rocket attacks are on the rise and as the base becomes more and more crowded the threat to those living inside multiplies no matter how high its walls become everyone gets a close call you this can just get just what you put in personnel it's all in into one tight spot you close it's going to destroy something or someone. easy maybe to forget the times and still worse. to leave

an hour and be as high as he continues in calcutta his hometown of interim government forces claim the main base of loyalists of the ousted leader convention center and hospital is one of the biggest yet with leaving as national transitional council saying it will only declare liberation of the country and start moving towards democracy once something is captured as have been. there have been many casualties and they have times correspondent at the bottom. of the. reading knowing i think. the only coverage that you see in western a stream media corporate media is about the advances of this so-called true revolutionary forces this is not a resolution this is a civil war which was adopted by the nato powers in the us so in terms of decision population searches acidic do you get more than a hundred thousand of an insurgent if ten thousand left or twenty thousand they're

still most of the civilian population are still there they were bombed by nato need to pull at least half of the sitting clued in what they said were scattered installations all across town this is the cluster vol the are two peat responsibility to protect was feel rhetoric the reason for nato is how you made each area intervention he lived so if the good guys are being attacked make other choices are to be applied but if the bad guys are ensconced and seriously sure is are to keep does not apply so in terms of the pockets it you know this beats anything else in the market. to france now and controversial chapters in history to have books is that it's called i being subjected to revisionism with critics saying that political correctness has our man. has been running through some of the darker pages of french history twenty pages on the history of black
