welcome it's eleven pm here in moscow now on the but my name is kevin and first tonight on our team religious tensions in egypt really intensified following the fall of mubarak of now grown into full scale riots over twenty people were killed and hundreds injured as clashes erupted between coptic christians and security forces in cairo what began as a peaceful rally calling for justice over attacks on christian churches by muslim extremists quickly turned into the most violent episode since february revolution military vehicles were clearly seen charging through crowds and plowing into people while army infantry fired rubber bullets and tear gas it's still unclear who sparks the fatal since but state owned media is placed blame of the christian protesters but middle east culture shero told us blaming them for the violence is hypocritical of the country's military rulers. this is a very cynical attempt by the defacto rulers of the country the military to portray

a. minority of the population and a religious minority as troublemakers when in fact all they're doing are trying to seek some justice and overturn institutionalized discrimination that still residue from them time of war barak and his policies so this is absolutely cynical kind of the way it's covered by the military council and its media are let's look at what the background that we're looking at here in egypt because some people got carried away after mubarak stepped down and declared their evolution over in fact what we are facing is a popular uprising that was a poor aborted by a military coup leaving a pretty much a political and security vacuum in place and that's the context for what's happening in egypt and all the kind of sides involved from the emerging secular.

parties to the more established parties to the military to the civil administration ministration don't seem to have enough authority to control the emergence to ation in egypt so that void within that vacuum anything is possible at the moment. shocking scenes last night what do you think of this developing story is what we're asking on the web site what you think it's all about why do you think violence erupted in egypt just eight months off the uprising toppled the country's leaders this is what you're telling us all most often view of the spin of this move bases throughout the day slightly less last hour in fact a show that will soon see a regime far worse another hosni mubarak sixteen percent of this point to a sectarian rift as the main reason for the violence twenty one percent think egypt at least from overseas or instigating the clashes are more gasoline almost saying that well the rest of you sure that's just the fact that the federal revolution is simply not over yet thanks for your thoughts and views so it's good to hear from you without being told. to the trouble spot in africa now in

libya heavy fighting for moammar gadhafi his home of sirte shows no sign of abating however libya's revolutionary forces claim that they're closer than ever to taking full control of a town that's been under siege for almost a month now they've made significant advances they say by capturing the university the main hospital at the convention center that was the base of the colonel's loyalists heavy fighting though still rages in some pockets of the city considered the most important stronghold of libya's ousted leader investigative journalist simon assaf told me the assault is hurting civilians not ensuring their liberation . i think what's happening in sirte is really quite shocking i mean if you remove yourself from saying i support one side or support the other side what we're seeing is a full scale assault on. a very densely populated area in which civilians are paying a very very heavy price now the reason why this is important is because the whole

basis on which nato imposed a no fly zone at the beginning of the conflict was precisely to defend civilians against military attacks and now we have if you like the allies of nato doing what their enemies were doing a few months. i have to begin to ask where is nato now why is nato not saying these are civilians under attack by a military force we have to stop we have to stop this attack and i think what we're beginning to see is if you like is that from a reemergence of the double standards what's happening in libya now is it's going to be a war crime the attack on sirte is a war crime and i think it has to stop immediately has to be a negotiation they have to be allowed to surrender but more importantly i think if they don't surrender then you put the city under siege allow the civilians to flee and they're not and they're not doing this and touches continue in syria to opposition supporters the following in the footsteps of egyptian revolution raising a lot on their website to find out russia is trying to help find their way to end

the conflict reports on the talks with the syrian opposition here in moscow is a dot dot com for you tonight. with the antiwar street protests in their fourth week now demonstrators voices really getting louder and spreading wide from coast to coast in dozens of cities people have been taking to the streets to demand an end to the fat cat culture and economic inequality. in the heart of the movement new york city. this demonstration that this group occupy wall street has really mobilized a lot of momentum and as far as the protesters value to remain and stay that clearly was the case this past weekend there was a bunch of protesters quite camped out outside of the new york stock exchange in lower manhattan and one man was arrested because he was sleeping in the walkway entering the new york stock exchange and that was a single arrest but there were so many people down there sleeping outside of it

taking part in this demonstration that he only had room to sleep on the wall way before his arrest the demonstrators hung up a sign on the new york stock exchange building that said banks got bailed out we got sold out this weekend we also did see religious groups join this movement members of the christian jewish muslim clergy clergies in new york city joined demonstrators in lower manhattan to support them in this ongoing protest against corporate influence over u.s. politics families were also bringing their young children there on there to take part in this ongoing demonstration and there's a kickstarter called a big step that has to pay for an occupy wall street building in times square if just twenty thousand people logged on to their website in support of this billboard these demonstrations popping up all across the country and i will for example thirty two people got arrested over the weekend for taking part in our wall street

demonstrations it's gotten so large that mainstream media in the united states has no choice but to cover it they cannot ignore it anymore and i think the tipping point was the arrest of nearly eight hundred peaceful protesters on the brooklyn bridge but people having said that though even the next day the new york times didn't give that story much room on the front page but now. mainstream publications such as the new york times and the mainstream media outlets in the us are turning their attention to this movement because you know alternative news stations are covering the story it's growing bigger and if mainstream media doesn't cover it it's going to be seen as an absolute blackout and too many people at this point in the us too many americans are involved for the mainstream media to simply ignore it any longer well some more reaction to the occupy wall street protests let's talk to christopher greene is a blogger and founder of independent media treme joining someone from phoenix arizona christopher. international you're looking only from phoenix first of all is

it happening where you are and we've seen these protests grow and grow in strength since they began last month how far is it going to go. this is spreading all across the country this is a a movement no different from what we saw with the arab spring protests and let's stop beating around the bush here this is a full scale full blown revolution it's spreading across the country we're we're not just talking about thousands of people here we're talking about millions of people and it's taken three years for the american people to wake up and to realize that we've been robbed over fifteen trillion dollars in two thousand and eight was extorted from the general public and siphoned off to the top point zero zero one percent club crowds in this country when i say kleptocrats i'm talking about the politicians i'm talking about the corporations it alternately i'm talking about the big banks in this country and i'm talking about the federal reserve which is central to this movement now the mainstream media is co-opting this movement along

with the administration along with our president trying to tell the public that there is no message behind this movement there is a message and this is the message we are the ninety nine percent you are the one percent who are calling for the end to the criminally federal reserve that is central to this theme. a few things but a big confusing we've been watching on very closely for a moscow reporting on over the past couple of days without correspondents at the same their new york corresponds when talking to people down there a bit of confusion this came out of it i think is that initially the protest as it was been reported like this that was saying well they didn't have a clear set of objectives because the neighbors it was a bit more of a broad brushstroke in that they did have a clear set of goals they were talking about things from ending economic equality to to stopping wars there were a number of issues they wanted to address so i guess from the outside if you know part of it it looks like their message wasn't gonna focused enough can you see my logic in. well i think the message needs to be simplified again we need it in the

federal reserve in this country they are central to the core of our problems they orchestrated designed and built the securitization model along with the banks in this country over the you know past several decades that destroyed america as we know it you know let's let's let's get real here let's get horrific or this is really turning of media is all about this is the end of america our ministration through the big banks have destroyed capitalism in this country and this is something that the mainstream media isn't talking about many of us including ourselves are asking for a restoration of capitalism we're also asking for a restoration of morality these bankers need to be prosecuted if convict dead after a fair trial they need to be jailed we need justice the people want justice in this country we have record high levels of unemployment we have a real estate market that we talked about we've been talking about for over a year and a half what experienced worst peak to trough declines that what we had in the 1930's great depression that is now

a fact we are engaged in helpless wars overseas you know last week marked the teen year anniversary or anniversary a little unusual let me focus she would just kill him at a time otherwise i want to ask you thoughts about how the police have handle this how the authorities have handled these demonstrations we've seen with their own eyes and cameras and seen the police being tough to some of the demonstrates is are they going to get any tougher as this these demonstrations go on i'm going to see more violence. unfortunately we are in the end as much as i don't want to see that in most americans would hate to see that there is going to be some kind of martyrdom in the near future we're going to see violence in iraq we could argue that we already have the violence in this country with the police pepper spraying protesters with you know innocent teenage women and be you know but taunted you know on camera this is what the alternative media showcasing right now again this is a revolution this is this is a change in psychology this is an evolution in human consciousness the people are

waking up and we're demanding change this is no different from what we saw overseas in the middle east and northern africa the revolution has now come to the united states of america chris a grain thank you so much for so clearly putting your thoughts on the program blogger and founder of the independent media channel thank you thanks very much of course there are u.s. correspondents in the thick of it there as well following developments specially in the heart of events in new york keeping you updated on how those protests have been unfolding over the last couple of days prolific self value off of latest one from the hundreds of police officers are patrolling the city streets following last night's unrest in that the center of the big apple looks quote like a military zone that is i'm here on twitter you can follow the action from us on twitter at. school com. russia could soon come to the rescue of debt ridden economies the helping hand was extended by the presidential aide however the details of the plan will only be

discussed off to europe comes up with a crisis strategy bottom reports. well this news comes from the presidential economic aide who said there have been meetings recently focusing primarily on spain and those meetings raise the possibility of russia being able to buy some of spain's debt and so provide extra help for the use of debt crisis he also said that other brics countries brazil russia india china and south africa could try and help economically with the use economic woes but there is a big but it relies on the e.u. coming up with a clear plan to try and contain the debt crisis that is currently sweeping across the eurozone we all know about the problems in greece italy and spain as credit ratings have recently been downgraded again raising fears of major debt problems there so russia says it's true it's too early at the moment to talk about any

concrete plans to start buying up spanish debt we want to see a unanimous plan first. so it is tom barton there reporting for us greece is the epicenter of the crisis with international creditors still finalizing talks on whether to hand athens another cash injection i spoke to dr richard wellings he's from the institute of economic affairs he said there's no other solution at this stage he's things other than the dissolution of the eurozone. eventually if the. lights are on the man even the most powerful economies in europe such as france and germany so basically i don't think this is the politicians and bureaucrats. their main priority is to avoid taking the blame so all they're doing is kicking the can down the road do you think german public opinion is hardening and of course german taxpayers or german savers are the people who are the real victims of these these quick fixes when the european central bank prints money to make an official buy lots of spain and italy. and of course people with savings in euro's they're

the ones that suffer from but of course the problem is that german taxpayers are going to be on the hook for not just greece but potentially all the other southern european countries so really the only long term solution is an orderly dissolution of the eurozone probably starting with grace elsewhere around the world the mediator in kosovo dialogue said to me kosovo representatives of the world unfolds with officials in belgrade robert cooper is helping to resume an exchange between the sides of the road to a halt after a violent incident at the cost of a serbian border last month at least eleven people were wounded then after ethnic serbs clashed with nato peacekeepers tried to disperse protesters against constables attempt to take over two border crossings. an american deep sea exploration company is discovered a ship reportedly filled with twenty tons of silver in the north atlantic the vessel said to be the remains of a ship which sank in the first world war after been torpedoed by

a german submarine a silver container on board is worth an estimated twenty million dollars a recovery expedition is due to start next spring has. pakistan's arrest doesn't al-qaeda linked suspects it follows increasing pressure from the us which accused the country of sheltering terrorists i want to fishley the to see eye to eye on many issues some in washington are ready to support action against islam about was going to teach you can't report. the drums of war beating loud and clear washington calls pakistan a safe haven for terrorists we can now hear the news coming across the border attacking no forces attacking afghanistan afghanistan and then disappearing back into a safe. economy network for one acts as a veritable arm of pakistan's internal services intelligence agency pakistan is furious over the accusations calling them unsubstantiated and saying that

washington came very close to losing a major ally in its war on terror if you talk about things i'm quite sure you know it says things that many terrorist organizations around the world which by which we mean intelligence links over the last ten years pakistan has repeatedly compromised its own sovereignty to help the americans in their operations the us while chasing down suspected terrorists has been bombing pakistan with drones on a regular basis the strikes have killed thousands of civilians use of going attacks is not against our sovereignty it's also counterproductive it when it's the people of the two want to been friends in this by dickens terrorism after the latest threats from washington fearing an even tougher assault thousands of pakistanis angrily rallied to say enough is enough for these people the us is a hostile power it's china that they see is a friend in the americans in this one instance have hen and it over

a major hearts and minds victory to the chinese in pakistan in spring china officially notified washington that any attack on pakistan will be seen as an act of aggression against beijing the pakistani prime minister praised his country's relations with china calling them quote higher than mountains deeper than oceans stronger than steel and sweeter than honey washington on the other hand seems to have mastered the art of alienating friends with pakistan. taking america's accusations that they support terrorists as a way to shift the blame for the failure of u.s. policies on pakistan but the blame game may blow up into full scale aggression the experts believe that we need to elevate our response they will have a lot of bipartisan support on capitol hill u.s. lawmakers have already signaled that if there is the will for tough action against pakistan they'll support it and when washington says the words safe haven for terrorists that's what you expect tough action and if it does happen pakistan could

be the new afghanistan but with china as a friend and nuclear bombs at hand sounds like a deadly combination for the united states i'm going to check out reporting from washington our team. also a lot of folks a lot to talk about it is the very subject in crosstalk the show on a in ten minutes time here on the international. unfound unfounded arose in fear in curiosity in equal measure evidence of the existence of big foot remains elusive however the hunt for the t.v. shows no sign of ending. took part in a siberian expedition to track down. the yeti also known as big food snowman hole sus quote has been exciting scientists and enthusiastic from all the world for more than a century but explorers have never had enough evidence to determine that this apparently gigantic creature is more than just a big legend these beautiful mountainous forests in russia siberia are among the

few places on earth thought to be roamed by yetis and this is where the scientists from around the globe have come for the largest expedition of its kind since the nineteenth fifties to set out what's never been done before to finally catch the creature. but first we go to get blessing from this land indigenous inhabitants and the least their spiritual support. shaman and dashed doesn't have any doubts i'm not shocking to tell you that but yes he does exist encouraged we continue our journey the path goes through impossible tiger thicket in the hunt for the evidence every minor detail becomes important ranch is twisted like this is believed to be

a key clue to the his existence the scientists say it could not have been done by enemies as they don't have heads or fingers to do and humans cannot do it this way either as they are just not strong enough to do for we go into the forest the more so-called markers we come across to the cards in the middle of the birds and tiger forests are also high interest the participants of the expedition are saying it's not just wind falling trees the branches they say could have been put in this way deliberately by someone. and now the stroke of luck we meet a local who says he saw a tall man like harry creature a nearby lake forest say chances are very high to meet the yeti over there in the cave a nest or at least discover some traces of these critters so let's go there and sure enough the clues emerge there is what seems to be. a toll when they feel secure stable but certainly not

a bad the scientists agree while remaining cautious of jumping to conclusions but this is beautiful surface for which we're tracking and there's only that one interesting line here and certainly you are right there. on the right. foot playing hopscotch sure would like to see a left foot. best the left one has never been discovered and celebrations put on hold these are the real thing or they're convenient props to make a very good story. and i wouldn't be quick to determine which of those two alternatives is the truth without further. the study that'll take a while could provide cost iran proof of the yet is existence but there are plenty here who want to be held in their breath. even if you bring them snowmen dead or alive the skeptics will say that's a pathology or mutation or i think this could be explained by an impotent including

financial impotence of the academic scientists. them bitches expedition seems to have those involved going in circles and so it seems that until concrete evidence is found the discovery of big food remains a big feat. reporting from siberia. maria on the trail of the hoping yeti now coming up shortly tonight people of guess no connection by the way what's ahead for fragile u.s. pakistani relations good program come up in ten minutes time this country with a business first though kareen is here with all the latest from moscow. and i welcome to business here in the ambition to turn moscow into a global financial center will remain regardless of who wins the upcoming election is president mitterrand dative says the current course of modernization is all triple the center because we have the details. president medvedev says step by step

. the goal of becoming an international financial center in the latest rating by a respected international research group russia's capital had moved seven places from what it was previously but it is still hanging in the middle of the lead the president stresses more will be caught red tape and to increase the liquidity of the markets a process that will continue regardless of who is in the kremlin. but. russia is entering the pre-election period this relates to parliamentary elections and presidential elections next year however i would like to highlight that the creation of the financial center is a long term priority and no one but if you change this russia's two main stock exchange of the arts. in the process of merging the new exchange will be the world's non-flying just once unification is complete the management believes it

could move up to third place within four years if all the sin there just pay off and not a significant addition to the creation of a unified security deposit or a system to make trading more transparent and. and just to remind you of the main person in charge of turning moscow into an international financial center russia's x. finance minister. who despite falling outs with president medvedev over budget spending is still in step when it comes to promoting moscow. that's a look at the markets now oil is climbing the highest level in two weeks as the leaders of germany and france pledged to the european sovereign debt crisis light sweet is trading at eighty five dollars fifty two cents per barrel while brant is that one hundred dollars a barrel u.s. stocks rally almost three percent on monday that's after france and germany pledged to do everything to support europe's banks this proves that financial firms making them the top again isn't wall street shares of both citi group and

a hard part of finance. service group grossed more than six percent and bank of america j.p. morgan chase four also up five and four percent respectively stocks in europe are also higher than the footsie gained one point eight percent while the dax finished over three percent in the black banks were among the gainers on hopes call course over europe's troubled banking sector and here's moscow where the markets closed in the black as well with the r.t.s. ending the four percent i'm isaac's closing two percent black let's have a look at some individual shambles on the minus six cross never gained over three percent telecom was also high as the company is close to buying moscow internet provider of court t.v. for thirty seven million dollars and trucks make a colossal stop supported by strong first half results that profit rose two point seven million dollars against a twelve million net loss last year while the national capital wraps up today's

trade. russia's markets were a little bit stronger they continued the strength that we saw at the end of last week i would say it's a little bit too early to say there's any chance you have them in the market but i think there is at least not quite the pessimism that we've seen in recent in recent months. or today was some confirmation that a little bit of confidence perhaps is returning to. and russia has seen car sales rise forty five percent in the first eight months of the year with two million vehicles sold the us i'm a lot it was the best seller of sales growth was slower than its competitors several laying him die models were second third most popular respectively. well as well for me in the business team here in moscow are we back to law where one business.

culture is the same of jargon co-writers on the progress of the market has been taliban bad guys destined to be friends again pakistan u.s. relations face a breaking point the u.s. is pakistan is hedging its bets by maintaining ties to me.

live from moscow this is all too thanks being with this review watching around the world these are all top stories tonight the deadliest ride since the egyptian revolution flare up in cairo as religious tensions lead to dozens of deaths in clashes between the country's christians and so. and he will street protesters are turning up the volume of the campaign continues to spread despite multiple arrests and claims of heavy handed response from police people across the u.s. are demanding the end of what they call the government protection of corporate. russia says along with the brics countries that it's ready to try to help the debt ridden the e.u. find a way out of the financial turmoil that's growing poverty in european countries spyros other control due to cuts in social spending. this is a see cross-talk just fifteen so.
