media reported as being butchered by bashar al assad's regime in syria has a television saying she is alive and well forcing an embarrassing guitars by leaving out that. this is all she's weekly review hello and welcome to the program. and we start in the u.s. where the occupy wall street protest movement is gaining momentum across the u.s. and previously ignored by the mainstream media it's making headline news with u.s. politicians lining up to have their say protest those who blame wall street for corporate greed and rampant unemployment are comparing their marches to those of the arab spring that led to revolution in the middle east and north africa. reports . the collective voices of american dissent has manifested into a movement impossible to ignore occupy wall street began in the world's financial

capital but this week protests have blazed 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 fairer and more just society for the young people coming up and all of the american people right now are suffering through these hard economic times this seems pretty revolutionary to me and then this period of revolution is here and so i need to be a part of it once you are not afraid to be arrested anymore the whole entire control of the police state disappears and when that happens there are credible possibilities that are open to us and certainly you can imagine a different world and 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. the protesters are. giving voice to a more broad based frustration about how our financial system works that 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 awarded a lot of folks who are doing the right thing are rewarded while the u.s. has encouraged and supported democratic uprisings in the arab world the same events playing out at home have been met with the taunts pepper spray and the arrests of nearly eight hundred peaceful protesters on the brooklyn bridge a scene that reminded some of egypt's two here square you can follow me 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 up 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 the sentiment the decision not to inject capital into the banks but to effectively relieve them of the bed that gave the banks. profits as they can i can sympathize with the.

grievances spearheaded so loud and large that mainstream media outlets have been left with no other choice but to cover the protests in a matter of weeks occupy wall street that's not only mobilized international attention many believe this ongoing of that would be complex burning point in the us where a mass movement towards american politicians didn't work for the majority of the people in the collective demanding democracy from the very leaders that promoted arena were not artsy new york. and foremost executive richard asco says that the lack of concrete demands is actually asked tranks of the on to corporate movement that striving he says to restore democratic values. this is actually for a political protest movement that 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 wants a job should get a job business people and their customers should deal with one another fairly and honestly crime screen 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 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 you know 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 protests in new york and you can follow what they

see as it happens by pulling out twitter streams and they owe it all to be on the call and also underscore america they can find the links our you tube channel as well where else he's at least a couple of discusses the latest events with some celebrities and also in one of her tweets or says that one of the peaceful demonstrators was just lying on the ground would approach that sign has been arrested in the. also this hour on the polish prime minister donald is already celebrating victory before the votes are counted as exit polls suggest his party has won parliamentary elections all the details later on o.c. . and some pages are being torn from history textbooks in france with critics say younger generations will end up not knowing enough about their own country's past. egyptians military troops and military authorities have imposed a five hour curfew on the square and downtown cairo this follows violent clashes

between christians and security forces that have left at least twenty three people dead two of them policemen and what started as a peaceful sit and turned to violence with military vehicles set on fire more than one hundred eighty protests and police injured thousands of patients were demonstrating against a recent spate of a trance like the churches fearing that post revolution egypt could see to conservative islamist rise to power with this is claimed the violence was instigated by a provocateurs security forces eventually fired shots and tear gas to disperse the protesters malcolm and university in texas as the rest shows egypt's status as a secular state is under threat. new developments the situation is becoming very roman and it's alarming because religious tradition but little she is a woman. late last year weekend also huge islands between cops and islamic courts american

pressure and it was in cities like xander and at the time when people were doing revolutions didn't get much attention then when the revolution came when it seemed at least in the central cairo to be peaceful. people who will be. with the local christian community and ruby the question is is symbolically yes. from being a secular dictator ship to being an islamic dictatorship where it will be many more people who we have preaching the islamic rule in significant camps and population questions that were many secular all institutions who would find themselves probably much less free than they have been for her birthday because it's such an islamic group and. syria has warned it will retaliate against any country that formally recognizes the recently established opposition national council member like group is seeking international support for the six miles long uprising against

the assad regime a fresh wave of violence spread across the country or at least of forcing a person killed. they're targeting armed terrorist groups not peaceful protest is the country has been in a state of chaos since midnight mourning crowd has demanding president assad steps down while many civilians have been killed a report about why and its casualty has forced major western media outlets into a surprise all the time this week as r.t. is either barrett reports. she was hailed as the flower of syria the symbol of the suffering under president bashar assad spruit all regime at least that's what much of the western media said after the apparent butchering of zeinab. we have viewed pictures of what was done to xen apps corpse and they are simply too gruesome to error 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 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 us britain and france for un sanctions to be slapped on syria but their foundations are now looking shaky or the never has footage religiously shows an armed sound 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.s. 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 this 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 so they may not be any oil this time but there's always an ulterior 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 russia will continue resisting attempts to legitimize unilateral sanctions through the u.n. security council that aimed to overthrow political regimes the u.n. was not created for that purpose the vetoes are 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 on down slightly more dramatic evidence to drive the point home on the benefits. later in the program we report on how the ongoing leavin fighting is affecting the lives of civilians that is entering government forces the edge of close it's symbolic triumph in the balance of the kind of conduct his hometown absurd we ask experts why he would cause for the so-called liberation of grows american media. and the u.s. led war in afghanistan and to decade to with the white house promising a complete pullout of troops by twenty four team reports from a base in the country however which suggests a rather the opposite. contradictions have been taking place in poland with the results expected late on monday as a poll suggests that the pro e.u. party headed by prime minister donald leading with around forty percent of the

votes ahead of his opponent also have conservatives estimated to have thirty percent correspondent and. get a shot ski have to wait. we received the exit poll results suggest that the policy 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 certainly a victory for the. as 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 some don't want to school be able to garner another a 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 that. somebody 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 and the era in the polish power circles signified the warm spell in the russian post elations in particular after this millennium tragedy when the country lost most of its political elite along with the country's president we've seen so much understanding between the two countries so much consensus and this many experts credit mr missile but also for the strengthening ties between moscow and warsaw. german and french leaders have

agreed on measures to save european banks at a meeting in berlin chancellor merkel and president sarkozy declared they were united on plans for recapitalization or interesting more cash into banks saying and economy can be prosperous without stable and reliable financial institutions but actual greek default hasn't turned supplied fears about the sector utah exposure to the country's massive debt and ultimatum from the i.m.f. was that greece muslim post budget cuts will face total collapse the stock message comes after athens admitted failing to address the key steps in to levels previously agreed in pledges for bailouts despite approving a deeply unpopular stereotype program and those are his correspondent reports angry greeks feel the needs of the people are being neglected to satisfy the demands of the. syntagma square once again bearing witness ok clashes between riot police and furious protest so go. back

to. the right. and the functions 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. of the message being sent by the government is one of repression and fear . scenes like this raise serious questions about the level of force being used. to prior's 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 is this really happening please i took shelter in an enclosure just doesn't talk much and one policeman who i think was a commander in a very. taking pictures i told him i was a journalist but he given. me these are some pictures. you know

the place he taken shelter amplified the sound of the flash bang causing almost tehsil deafness an injury which has cost me less his job. after which i would call it an accident it was not my life's been like a small. investigation was launched into the incident the progress has been slow a fireman a list tells us the countless cases against heavy handed police tactics to have any kind of results we witness for ourselves the lack of discrimination when the police lash out when journalist 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 further bailout cash pensions looks set to keep escalating i think .

the first reaction to. the impact of the financial crisis is being played out blow by blow on syntagma square there are now fears that the financial crisis turn into an economic recession could bring the entire usa not just the greek people to their knees surface r.t. . and poor not how a member of the european parliament or the u.k. independence party told us that leaving the eurozone is the only option for the greek people. basically the money is going to pay off debt but the problem is they're not reducing the debt and it's it's unsustainable we should never have been allowed to get into the euro 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 sore for the greek people the only way that the

greek people will get back on their feet again is to come out of your all together and look at will be the end of the world for greece argentina was the last major countries involved in two thousand and one between 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 the polls 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 past it's ten year mark with nato troops nowhere close to defeating the taliban deadlines plans to quit the country by the end of twenty fourteen but as jason locklear reports evidence on the ground suggests there's no question. if the united states is drawing its troops from afghanistan why is its largest base getting bigger were you asleep forces overran the taliban of late two thousand and one. little more than a flight to correct runway since then the former soviet base in the plains north of

the afghan capital has grown into a small city itself over twenty five thousand full time personnel fleets of military cargo aircraft and enough vehicles to cause traffic jams in that expansion is no way aided by scores of contractors u.s. military engineers are constructing new housing and storage facilities to make room for even more million world where 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 even planned and bases like this one aren't going to shrink anytime soon. at least there are plenty of home comforts for soldiers staying on for tell a few moment appointments they can shop for everything from flat screen t.v.'s to fine jewelry enjoy a cappuccino to grab some takeout the new pizza hut franchise and if they're tired of working out in june they're free to go to the salon for a haircut inside which although some officials have tried to limit such amenities calling them

a distraction from the war the troops are happy to have them and these are extremely well you know if enough to leave this planet then have a taste of that right. mobile afghan merchants are also glad to have the extra business both inside and outside the wire without agreement a soldier's my business would be nothing we like having them here but not everyone agrees deadly 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 most become everyone gets a close call when you're this can just get this much equipment personnel can solve it into one tight spot get close it's going to destroy something or someone. maybe to forget the times this is still worse. in bar for me. to be an alan fierce fighting continues and cannot attack his hometown of set interim government forces claim they've seized the main base of loyalists of the

ousted me to the convention center and hospital that pensioners one of the biggest national transitional council saying it will only declare liberation of the country and start moving towards democracy once the city is captured thousands have been fleeing the violence but there have been many civilian casualties and at times correspondent that the ethic of obviously that in focusing on the vassal of mainstream media is ignoring a human cost the only coverage that you see in western mainstream 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 at the top to close by the nato powers in the us so in terms of decision population searches a city being there more than a hundred thousand in an uncertain if ten thousand lets not twenty thousand there still most of the civilian population still dish they were bombed by nato made obama at least half of the sitting crew thinks what they said was scattering installations all across town this is that cluster volbeat are two piece

responsibility to protect was theoretically the reason for nato so you made each area an intervention in libya so if the good guys are being attacked by qaddafi forces are to be a plus but if the bad guys are ensconced and seriously sure is since r two p. does not apply so in terms of you know this beats anything else in the market. to france now and controversial chapters in history textbooks used in schools they're being subjected to revision is what critics say that political correctness in the u. has gone mad daniel bushell has been summing it through also left out some of the darker pages of french history. twenty pages on the history of black slavery and just six on the time of the polian shown here sitting on a toilet france is your history school books are in bridge in paris and your
