syrian activists report victims of the regime crackdowns and claim opposition forces are being joined by defectors dismissed by the government as. jubilant crowds celebration new yorkers and protesters when the right to continue campaign to clean up big business worldwide. and the european central bank says. it's time for governments to take the lead in saving the region's economies.

around the clock around the world this is the life in moscow the total number killed in the syrian conflict now stands at one of a three thousand activists say at least twelve people have died in fresh violence off the security forces opened fire on protesters were calling for nationwide demonstrations in support of army defectors who joined the opposition the government insists that not revolutionaries but armed gangs that threaten the public has more. about one hundred eighty kilometers north of the mass this is a city of on the west on the site of five days of recent deadly clashes within the security forces and protesters in which at least thirty died it's close to the cities of homs and hama where most of the assad protests have been taking place evidence of fighting in oliver stone is plain to see there was an air of suspicion . and smoot only broken by children now smiling but only two weeks ago these

youngsters were witness to violence in their home town 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 to talk most understand locals remarked were hesitant to say anything about what happened telling us he didn't want to get into trouble i was the area's governor gives his explanation why the military rather paid there were groups of people where the role demands they had these demands for a little while and then it all escalated when they armed themselves and we saw the situation had become a threat to the people and that's why we decided an intervention should take place in. the or inside syria where. this was this was their way of was sixty years was was

a safety was here last time but opposition activists insist that these were not on after terrorists but army defectors so far the government has said little on the subject of the surfers from the military i think it's a kind of a strategy by the government and that weakening the morale of that of the army left within the middle of. a spate of divorces so if they talk about the fracture. well it became a serial back will be more of the fracture so instead he got. armed gangs or was. this will serve the purpose but under the circumstances the morale of most impacted by the violence and understand is that a ruthless. alister. occupy wall street protesters have won their first battle after

a massive clean up effort by new york city officials was canceled activists against corporate greed considered it an attempt to undermine the month long rally we see on the center of events in new york. thousands at least two to three thousand ended up turning out here in sokoto the park up behind me the crowd is a little bit smaller now they have gone on a protest march near wall street we actually just got reports of a clash with police but the massive massive turnout is really fuel to i guess speculation by the police departments by this administration the mayor's office ration here in new york that. with so much media attention so many people they really couldn't afford another instance like what we saw two weeks ago where unprecedented number of new yorkers were arrested as part of the wall street occupy wall street occupation so i think there was a lot of fear that clashes could happen and part of all of this is the fact that these protesters most of the ones i've spoken to are determined to stay regardless

of what the police does one man who was spoke to us yesterday when we were really expecting some c.t.'s clashes had this to say take a lesson it's a pretext to. taishan to come here and move people out and then set new conditions about moving back in it's just it's the mood to just watch this group so we pretty much understand what's going on here we have twenty four seven clean up around here all the time and there aren't really any issues but we're going to make a big effort to get because we had rain everything show you know we've ordered. a good clean up you know and that really has been the attitude from most of the people that we've spoken to here protesters for scrubbing the floors of hands and knees but really it's not about sanitation it's not about the cleverness of the park it's about the fact that these movements are spreading across america they're popping up in hundreds of cities across the country and folks simply the idiot status meant the police departments the politicians they're nervous they have not

seen this kind of unprecedented movement in the united states and at this point it does not show any sign of dwindling we do know that it's over fifteen point to be the big data was. this is when the situation expected to spread but massive protests planned all across the country including here in new york the occupiers plan on staying here in zuccotti park they plan on urging in times square in the evening which should be very interesting to watch. these present in times square bomb or potential for clashes because we have to keep in mind most of the arrests most of the confrontations with the police have been when protesters leave this area and walk down the streets that gives the police here a lot more of an excuse so to speak to. put people in corners and try to stop the movement that way but for now while the folks here are determined to say we've seen terrible weather arena holes they have not been deterred by that so be very

interesting to see how this plays out and whether he can play out peacefully or whether we'll see a further crackdowns like we've seen for example in denver yesterday in seattle and across the country. the. movement prepares to go global is closely watching the rallies taking place in europe and the u.s. this coming weekend don't miss our special coverage on saturday october the fifteenth. sponsors blood flowing into the. countries waiting for you. and social. people of course to go against the government's economic policies follow the worldwide action against austerity. the european central bank national governments to known through the public to the. filtration

spoken head of a key meeting of world finance ministers who are gathering in paris to morrow to the crisis in europe correspondent. the patience of european central bank does seem to be running out it says that it can't really take the whole burden on itself it really needs a government to come through the european governments come through and take some actions because the latest country problems with. its problems with its solidarity or failure solidarity has had a downgrade of its rating a game which is going to make it even harder for it to raise money and pay off its debts were expected protests tomorrow perhaps the biggest protest so far over thirty measures in spain now russia's prime minister has come out and said that the government could fill this problem if they wanted to but when. the crisis is more political than the financial issue according to different estimates between one and trillion dollars is needed but the years are you can handle it it's

a political issue because in order to counter these resources leading countries must offer a shoulder to those in trouble 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 told to go is the latest country. there are two 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 austerity measures over the cuts which are thought to be extremely painful for the population now we've also seen the big tree shape saying that he does expect those governments to come through with those cuts in order to balance his budget there is a meeting today and tomorrow of the world's leading finance ministers as they try to tackle this crisis that has been in portugal. just be too

painful for the people to take these austerity measures michel. some of those victims of the cross and i'm afraid i'm afraid in the future i'm afraid that. things are going to be like they are in greece right now people. are not going to be able to have a good life to have peace and quiet illusion that the member of the portuguese indignados the movement its participants believe the government is hell bent on pleasing the rich and powerful and ignores the needs of the people they have to actually have to realize that we are not. we're not we're not going to be bad for any longer probably. you know it's happening and it's happening everywhere in spain here in greece in england who were straight unemployment in thirty years of over twelve percent rising taxes and falling wages are the reality of portugal simply

present situation things are so bad people are now making comparisons with cataclysmic periods in their history and looking to them for inspiration when they see 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 bad market for kingdom that's his statue right there managed 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 ignacio's say the solution is to create more jobs and cut unnecessary expenditure but the government was sporting to seventy eight billion euro i.m.f. bailout earlier this year calling in the footsteps of greece and ireland to pay back up the stairs because how they want reduced which will see longer working hours less holidays and even listened to the christmas bonuses which most workers enjoyed at the age when you were meant to start

a life so you know your own space your own you know. tough kids here. if you can't you can't do it you can't do it because you can't afford to do it and how of noxious is that its. financial system and the political system that is intertwined with the financial system. that is so completely twisted conditions that. this this to me. personally the biggest thing and as the crisis grows so too do the reins of the outraged members of the indignados people unite for he actually of nationality nationalism. and wealth. and build another europe not there because it's not democratic there are national governments there are not democratic people there ravitch old is the

problem is the system not right. the call for a global day of action or looked over the fifteenth from the occupy wall street movement in new york is expected to get 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 a simple fight for survival in those courting lispund. and more coverage of the unfolding debt crisis in europe is available on our website r.t.e. dot com also online for you at the moment so a wave of criticism and fears of cold war like tensions on the korean peninsula as washington plans a new place for t.v. in south korea also online. imagine a job where you do nothing but sleep and get paid a hundred and fifty dollars a day for doing it for a position really is all over would you believe right here in moscow you'll find the full story and all three will come. well back to one of our top stories

now the own going rallies of the occupy wall street movement in the u.s. for more on this i can now talk to f. william bell he's author of go. money rules straight and the death of the american sentry who joins me now from frankfurt. so the protest is one that victory to count will straight off dramatically not that it was canceled what will this do to the mood of the movement when it add more impetus. well what's clear if you if you monitor this closely there's some talk that these demonstrations on wall street are being encouraged by people trained by the obama administration or financed by george soros in a sense it doesn't really matter because the spotlight has been put on the source of the problem in the world economy and world financial with us for years namely a handful of g. gigantic banks that have simply hijacked the economy in the populations of the world for their own interests and that to put the spotlight on that i think is

absolutely brilliant and what's interesting this movement is taking on a life of its own i just talked with sean maguire a journalist friend of mine with the sovereign independent in ireland and he reports on the enormous groundswell that's taking place in dublin demonstrated every day for three weeks now against the banks and the press has finally been forced to acknowledge the existence of the rally and cover it and cover it fairly honestly so this thing is is ston tenuously bursting out everywhere and i think it's one of the most encouraging signs that we've had since the crisis broke in two thousand and seven just briefly explain your comments earlier about a bomber and sort of the element that. well it's been noted about that too a former member of the obama white house has been training many of the wall street demonstrators in forms of. you know peaceful action against wall street and in a bid to kind of boost the fortunes of the democratic party for the upcoming

election there's been rumors that foundations tied to george soros and such circles have been financing some of these organizations as a counterweight to the republican tea party movement which is financed by big oil money in the car trying li and such things like that. it is sense i don't think it really matters at this point because it's taken on a dynamic of its own and by putting the focus on wall street and six to seven banks gigantic banks that are simply too big to save they're not too big to fail anymore. it brings up the question why haven't we done what the swedes did in one thousand nine hundred two when the government stepped in nationalized the bank drew a ring fence around the problem institutions until they could be sorted out and kept the real economy of sweden functioning and that's what has happened in the u.s. that's what has happened in ireland that's what has to happen in portugal in these various other countries are and he's talking just briefly about those questions

those countries around the world we know that the protests will be going global on saturday with rallies planned in hundreds of cities in the u.s. europe asia and africa but is this really a sign of something big or could it just fade away. well it you can always fade away but i think the people doing this have to really think what what's behind you know occupy wall street that's of that's a nice slogan but what are you going to do and when you have your people inside the banks they don't know how to run a banking system most of them they're firemen they're working people secretaries students and so forth but the point is. what is the problem that these banks of caused and what is the solution to that problem the the previous bush administration said we don't nationalize in america that's a socialist solution that's rubbish to nationalize this and sweets did in other countries have done is this is the only true capital solution to the failure of dysfunction of capital and situations they have to suffer the consequences just

finally at you a little earlier were applauding the motives behind this movement is that not a danger that it could be hijacked by anika it's oh i don't think i think that if it were hijacked by atticus i would suspect police provocateurs rather than or f.b.i. or something like that that's a that's a favorite tactic to try to discredit peaceful and well meaning opposition but i think that i think people are becoming a little more sophisticated about some of these old tricks. you know hijack are not hijacked the point is the focus has been turned on the real problem and not on these these synthetic false problems like the tea party movement was from was trying to move that was a hijack but now we're getting into some interesting territory i think by putting dollar through an economic recession not from fact but thanks very much indeed for your thoughts thank you. well let's go to reportedly preparing a response to washington's planned missile defense system in europe in front of

comments by the incoming u.s. ambassador to moscow he said washington cannot guarantee the system wouldn't target russia well if he is going to have has the details. washington is speeding up its plans for its aging missile defense system in europe despite all these alarming questions coming out of russia spain porn's romania and turkey have agreed to host elements of the system only to juries and it's planned that the shield will be finished by twenty eighteen i fish early it's supposed to protect washington's allies in europe from potential threats coming out of iran and north korea but moscow has been sounding the alarm saying that the system could be a potential threats to its national security moscow has been proposing that this project should be a unified shield which would include russia and the united states where all would share the responsibility for the seat of each other but washington and some nato

officials have been saying guide to this is not possible since russia is not part of the alliance moscow then started asking for legal guarantees from washington that this is no will not be against russia but the newly appointed u.s. ambassador to russia michael mcfaul was told to say that history has no plans of making these legal guarantees we've already heard from russia's envoy to nato meeting about boys who said that if this is the case then moscow will have to start thinking about making its own efforts to every store of the strategic balance of forces in europe and now there are also reports in the russian media from a source from the kremlin which says that russia will think of a cheaper but i fact a way to answer washington's and you saw the found suppliers in europe so we'll see how the situation develops but i get exactly the fact that washington is not

planning to back down on its anti missile defense plans. and we're not to know what you think of these. she's recovering here on r.t. you can log onto our website it's our team of con to take part in our latest online poll where we're asking why you think the talks between russia and the u.s. over missile defense failed well here are the results and sweet so far thirty seven percent are convinced it's all because arms and acres need to sell their weapons almost a third say the u.s. is to blame because it wouldn't compromise thirty four percent believe russia in the u.s. is just natural enemies who would never agree on anything but a minority think it's because of russia's demands were reasonable tell us what you think cast your vote at r.t. dot com. u.s. president has taken a firm stance against iran promising tough sanctions for the country over claims it was plotting to kill the saudi ambassador to washington to rein in its were charged with trying to hire members of a mexican drug cartel to carry out the attack something to iran is dismissed as

baseless barack obama says there's enough evidence of iran's guilt and is calling on the international community to make it pay for its behavior further isolating tehran the u.s. is now considering sanctions on iran central bank promising even more pressure by society one hundred marandi from the university of tehran says he is unconvinced by the claims of iranian involvement. the more pressure that the united states tries to impose are on iran that the iranians will push back as well the united states is being out of the scientists iran has absolutely no motive to carry out such an operation if you ron did hypothetically want to carry out this are great and they could have done it in the middle east in an area where there are more high profile figures and where it could be carried out much easier why would iran want to create extra sensitivity with the united states so it's absolute nonsense and obviously iran gains nothing from it only people who do gain is the united states by

distracting attention away away from its problems at home such as the economic hardship that people are facing its decline in the middle east it helps israel come out of isolation it helps the saudis saudi regime he tried to united states will again some theoretical hypothetical foreign enemy now let's have a quick look at some other news in brief from around the world before we get to business news from korea in libya fierce fighting continues in color could have his hometown sits well on battles have broken out in tripoli for the first time in two months this is a vote that suspected snipers loyal to gadhafi one m.t.c. fighters says shooting began after a man was spotted raising the green flag symbolizing the ousted regime support serious outbreak of violence in the capital since the then rebels seized control of tripoli in august. italian prime minister silvio berlusconi has survived a decisive parliamentary vote of confidence which was key to continuing his political career would face calls for his resignation by political rivals and

members of the business community amid a series of damaging scandals and the weakening economy and securing of the vote of confidence allows but it's going to stay in power through to the end of his term in twenty thirty. and that's why capital a huge effort is underway by the military in volunteers to strengthen the cities and to flood defenses authorities fear rain and high tides which of course huge devastation across the country could now move into bangkok flash floods and killed two hundred eighty three people and devastated cities and sixty one provinces since july. well look very shortly will be delving into the history of russia's film industry but first as promised is the business update with kareena. hello and welcome to business this hour russia says it's ready to act against new european energy legislation it's called the third energy package and bans energy

suppliers like gas problem from owning gas pipelines president medvedev has ordered energy representatives to submit proposals on how russia can keep good relations with the e.u. and contravene the new laws at the same time however analysts say there's not much there's not much russia can do. it's the law of european union and of course it's the idea of european union and that is why in reality it's very difficult to press from european union we can imagine them just right for example top the supplier who cares to europe but of course it's dramatic and in my opinion absolutely the rules to meddle that is why we have only one method i mean only their log is the most important so if you can you is the decision of brussels but we just want to explain our arguments because if european union you know maybe speaks in construction of the new energy policy if you look at the problem also for

us and we want to explain to them that for example it will be no new investment to new pipes this is not working that's all me just want to prove this mistakes but as we can see as an intellectual discussion not more. let's have a look at the markets now boilers rising reversing earlier losses after the group of twenty and i have additional said that the washington based lender main police resources to the stand to stem the e.u. debt crisis wrangling is trading at one hundred fourteen dollars per barrel. is that eighty six times out the u.s. retail sales data give stocks a boost as investors await european debt crisis response retail sales rose over one percent in september boosted by strong all of purchases and also giving stocks a lift our beat earnings reported by search engine google with shares rising six point three percent and european markets ended higher on friday with minors and
