really you believe this in some instances. from. the future. activists claim with soldiers in northern syria are turning against the regime the government says they're just gangs posing a threat to the public. the occupied together and the protest movement stands its ground in new york and north across america and prepares to go intercontinental with demonstrations planned all around the world. the european central bank is washing your hands of the crisis. and governments now have to take the lead or have more than just the free movement of. the world's second largest maker of consumer goods unilever is buying into russia. more on the deal in business in about twenty minutes.

broadcasting live from the center of this is artsy with me rule research showing. defectors have reportedly crossed over to fight alongside opposition forces in northern syria but the government insists they are armed gangs threatening the public and they're not revolutionaries and the u.n. and human rights office has raised the tally meantime of those killed during the seventh month uprising at over three thousand participants are still. about one hundred eighty kilometers north of the mass this is a city of on the west on the side of five days of recent deadly clashes between security forces and protesters and which at least thirty died it's close to the cities of homs and hama where most anti assad protests have been taking place

evidence of fighting in oliver stone it's plain to see there was an air of suspicion and tense mood only broken by children now smiling but only two weeks ago these youngsters were witness to violence in their hometown and like this eleven year old we heard very heavy fire we heard airplanes but didn't see them it sounded like they were flying high we were really afraid and we were crying the whole time . the child was one of the few the top most i'll rest on the locals we met were hesitant to say anything about what happened telling us they didn't want to get into trouble. the areas governor gives his explanation why the military right there were groups of people who had their own demands they had these demands for a little while and then it all escalated when the armed themselves we started the situation had become a threat to the people and that's why we decided an intervention should take place in. the inside syria for. the son of god

to be this is their way of life the way i'm working at least see here this was what it was basically. from our side here. but opposition activists insist that these were not on yasser terrace but army defectors so far the government has said little on the subject of the surgeons from the military i think it's kind of a strategy by the government and the weakening the morale. of the army. pretty forces so if they talk about the friction. it. could be there would be more deflection so instead he. was. going to serve the purpose but under the circumstances most impacted by the

violence in understand is that of the influence. of this series. you are watching r.t. it's good to have your company today still ahead for you this hour twenty one years of stagnation the little known self-proclaimed republic of transistor in eastern europe remains frozen in poverty and ethnic conflict and many believe it's the leader who is to blame. and our particular attraction we report on why an inhospitable occupy logo in the arctic ocean has become a welcoming home for immigrants from all around the world. and corporate protestors in new york are preparing to stand ground members of the occupy wall street movement say or thirty's or planning to forcefully evict them from a park where they've been camped out for the past month that let's get the latest now from new york art is standing by for us live. in new york mayor michael bloomberg about to start cleaning out the park is he carrying out his threat at

this point. showdown would have taken place at zuccotti park. and that's because around how. the property owners of the park berkeley property has announced through the city officials will not be asking the new york city police department to remove the protesters south park clean but instead the property owners will negotiate directly with the occupied with all street demonstrators now this issue of course has been laid out for more than chief thousand people turned out at zuccotti park she prevented police from going into the park and removing the protesters the crowd was as you get paid because friends say was and precedented because it wasn't just members of the occupy movement you also saw union members go down to live to the wall street park they are still there

and sort of a broad he'd out the occupy protesters that were linked arm in arm around the park in addition to the union members you saw a local elected officials down at the park are personally making statements to new york city mayor michael bloomberg they told him that he's on the wrong side of history and his legacy is that state if he were moves these people peaceful protesters trying to park now of course mayor bloomberg billionaire mayor white down to the park wednesday evening took personally tell the protesters they would have to vacate the park so that it could be clean i. decided that they would clean it on their own and they have spent the past twenty four hours scrubbing every inch of her part to make sure it was up to the conditions of the property that the owners would be happy with so they would not have to be the property now when this announcement was me the crowd erupted a crowd of about two thousand people. his heart supporting the occupy movement

there were cheers they were it was hollers they were screaming and yelling and he said it was a demonstration of one leader when one person out there in the crowd said that the occupy movement is truly frightening for the country that day marks a date the world oh we'll see the occupy wall street movement. unstoppable and i have to say the cause for we been seen as these marches in this city our crowd chants that people united never going to get in and i think this instance clearly understood or is that because you saw the crowd united and out of all ages from all different backgrounds for instance religions professions all come together and stand by this occupy wall street movement. there are some that might say it seems rather ironic that it takes a bit of a michael bloomberg to go down to the protesters were protests protesting against

the economy situation so it's a billion and a tell them so go home now we see no four weeks of protests now of demonstrations are sweeping all across america does it look like it's going to continue. not doesn't look like it will absolutely continue and it will not just she knew within new york city this movement is going to. pass the world over this in the next twenty four hours those that have been dreaming media from occupy wall street site called world will be as a norm darkie that within the next twenty four hours more than seventy countries and more than six hundred cities around the world will be joining this movement a movement where the crowd comes together again managing democracy demanding that elected leaders. not be up for the financial elites now my colleague in india pretty streeter just how

a little glimpse of what is taking place in egypt and she brings us this report. that energy that's happening in new york city and across the united states is definitely spread here to asia and actually the youth movement here has mobilized on facebook and on twitter and they're planning an actual occupy taipei seoul hong kong by jakarta providing even if mom of odd sells cars the movement in asia is growing there is a lot of support for a spirit in india. and there are a lot of similarities between the goals and the mass ijaz of the people in the united states and here in india we saw a massive anti-corruption movement here in india recently that was fronted by and now has a worth thousands of young people showed up to support his fast against the government

so many of those people are said to come out to this movement as well and many people compare that corruption movement here in india to the arab spring and now people are saying it's a very it has very close ties to what's going on on occupy wall street people here are a little bit suspicious of these multinational companies the corporations that they're talking about over in the united states the civically american companies you see that happen a lot here a while and get a commie might be growing the rich in here are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer and it's the foreign corporations that are really benefiting from india's young work fourth quarter is pretty shrewd a reporting right that what imo countries are joining the protests against the fight cuts and there we are closely following all the latest developments on our website of course dot com also while you tube channel you can go online to get full on coverage.

today violence is once again flared up. these are the images. from the streets of. corporations to rule the day. now eleven minutes past the hour here in moscow the european central bank says it's done enough to help the e.u. deal with its debt crisis and now it's time for governments to take apart spain becomes the latest credit downgrade a victim with a ratings agency standard and poor's cutting its score by one notch. our reports from brussels. the patience of european central bank does seem to be running out it says that it can't really take the whole itself it really needs the european government to come through and take some action because the latest country problems is its problems with its solidarity a failure of solidarity is not

a downgrade of this great game which is going to make it even hold the growth rate money. that we're expecting more or have the biggest protests so far. it's been just in spain now russia's prime minister has come out and said that europe's governments. problem if they wanted. a crisis is more of a political than a financial issue according to different estimates between one and one and a trillion dollars is needed a number is big but the user you can handle it it's a political issue because in order to counter those resources leaving you in countries must offer a shoulder to those in trouble and that takes political courage so governments in europe are accused of passing the blame no one wants to take responsibility but russia is one of many countries which is concerned by this because of course when the european economies are suffering the rest of the world has a knock on effect portugal is the latest country which announced new austerity

measures that means more taxes potentially education health costing more and we are expecting coordinated action coordinated protests across europe including in lisbon over those also thirty measures over the cults which are thought to be extremely painful for the population now we've also seen the big three shake saying that he does expect those governments to come through with those cuts in order to balance his budget but there is a meeting today and tomorrow of the world's leading finance ministers as they try to tackle this crisis has been in portugal might just be too painful for the people who take these austerity measures my colleague has spoken to . some of those victims of the cross i'm afraid i'm afraid of a future i'm afraid that. things are going to be like they are in greece right now people and. they're not going to be able. to have. a piece of the simpler

solution is an active member of the portuguese indignados delish poor movement its participants believe the government is hell bent on pleasing the rich and powerful and ignores the needs of the people there can truly help them realize that we are not. we are not going to be bad for. you know it's happening and it's happening everywhere and spraying here in greece in the worst three different employment in thirty years and over twelve percent rise in taxes and fall in wages by the reality of portugal's a bleak present situation things are so bad people are no making comparisons with cataclysmic periods in their history and looking to them for inspiration leads the century portugal was in a situation similar to its present state because it was lagging the capital was all but destroyed by an earthquake but one that marquee people bought the mr perfect and that's his statue right there that is to pull the country out of the crisis

three hundred years on however if you believe everybody will be able to perform a similar monumental task the portuguese indignados say the solution is to create more jobs and cuts are necessary expenditure but the government was forced into seventy eight billion euro bailout earlier this year following in the footsteps of greece and ireland to pay it back toughest areas because have been introduced which will see longer working hours or less holidays and even an end to the christmas bonuses which most workers enjoyed at the age when you are meant to start your life to you know have your own space your own you know. tough kids you know. if you can you can't do it. you can't do it because you can't afford to do it and howard noxious is that you know that's the financial system and the political system that is intertwined with the financial system is going that is completely

twisted conditions that race this this to me. personally the biggest thing and as the crisis grows so too do the reins of the outraised members of the indignados people who will unite forget. the nationalists lose track their money. and build another europe not because it's not democratic national governments that are not democratic. but rather she told the ground but the problem is the system not surprisingly. the call for global direction or looked over the fifteenth from the occupy wall street movement to new york is expected to give a loud response in portugal but for many of those who will fill the streets here it's not so much about evolution as it is about turning it into simple fight for survival and it goes courting. sixteen minutes past the hour here in

moscow weather wise it's one of the most inhospitable places in europe with summers cold and some continental winters are located in the arctic ocean for centuries spitzbergen archipelago was considered unfit for year round population but there is a growing and surprising ethnic community making a home. to see for itself. surrounded by the arctic ocean and trees bergen has no roads leading out and spat these pointers serves as a tribute to the archipelagos multi ethnic nature and well gas from moscow in london are frequent here a city that sounds the largest number of immigrants to the arc of alabama is the one furthers their way. with no re holding sovereignty over spitzbergen norwegians are still in the majority of the fastest growing ethnic group here is thais they already make up about a third of the archipelago is foreign population all things to beastly goalie out

of there and i think guys in the regions have a lot in common both peoples are very open and warm hearted. it may not have been love at first sight but the one of the two political implications sample heart not here future norwegian has been in the early nine hundred eighty s. in bangkok where he brought her to peter bergen the couple were a local oddity and says that many more followed in their footsteps. more time ruth up to be more and begin more accommodating of a man's needs i guess that's why no region manchu like i'm retired girls many of stamp on siblings cousins friends and very quaint and says now we were in norway she's become the artificial president of the burgeoning tight community with newcomers turning to her for all sort of advice. the main prison type people come to make money and you can earn

a pretty good living here but what's more is that we are not treated like immigrants we have the same lifestyle as no regions we can travel we are treated as equals while the recent bombing and shooting massacre in norway read ninety degree over immigration there are regions that spitzbergen say there's absolutely no place for athletic tensions on the archipelago. they are all guess and. many many. people from all kind of nations norway has responsible if you have the so that everyone who signed the treaty it could come and live here according to the nine hundred twenty agreement residents of any country can come and live here without applying for a visa or a work permit the only condition is to have a job no reason generous social support system doesn't operate here and according to the occupied response governor that's one of the reasons behind the multi ethnic harmony plots or intentional to discriminate that's one of the principal symbols of
