a pullback the book and more on that. around the clock around the world this is r.t. live in moscow the total number killed in the syrian conflict nell stands at well over three thousand activists sent least twelve of guided fresh bottoms off to security forces opened fire on protesters were calling for nationwide demonstrations in support of army defectors who joined the opposition the government insists that revolutionary gangs that threaten the public as well. about one hundred eighty kilometers north of damascus is a city of unrest on the site of five days of recent deadly clashes between security forces and protesters in which at least thirty died it's close to the cities of

homs and hama where most anti assad protests have been seen was evidence of fighting in oliver stone is going to see there was an air of suspicion it turns mood 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 and most of us are locals rematch were hesitant to say anything about what happened telling us we didn't want to get into trouble i was the area's governor gives his explanation why the military around the place there were groups of people where their older man they had these demands for a little while and then it all escalated when they armed themselves we saw the situation had become a threat to the people and that's why we decided an intervention should take place

and. what were inside seems to me at its core it. was stunning was this was their way of what basically i'm work release you see here this was basically it was here outside the opposition activists insist that these were not on gas are terrorists more army defectors so far the government has said little to some joke of the surfers from the military i think it's a kind of a strategy by the government that weakening the morale of the. bush people forces so i think i was the first year. it became a signal back to. the fracture so instead people got. armed gangs or was. all of this will serve their purpose but under the

circumstances the morale of most impacted by the violence 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 council activist against corporate greed considered it an attempt to undermine the month long rally. couple of at the center of events in new york. thousands at least two to three thousand and they're turning out here in sokoto park behind me the crowd is little bit smaller now they have gone on a protest i don't march near wall street we actually just got reports of a clash with police but the massive massive turnout is really fueled i guess speculation by the police departments by this and a stray shot in the mayors of the destruction 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 flashes but it happened 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 i spoke to yesterday when we were really expecting some c.t.'s clashes had this to say take a lesson it's a pretext. taishan to come here and move people out and then set new conditions about moving back here it's just it's the move to just watch this this group so we pretty much understand what's going on here we have twenty four seven. right 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 so you know we've cardboard in the. good clean up you know that really has been the attitude for most of the people that we've spoken to here protesters for scrubbing the floors on hands and

knees but really it's not about sanitation it's not about the funding 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 salish with 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 when dealing we do know that after over fifteen going to be the big data was. this is when the situation but expected to spread to europe but massive protests planned all across the country living 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 a lot of these present in times square bomb or potential clashes because we have to keep in mind most of the arrests most of the confrontations with the police have been on 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 the folks here are determined to say we've seen terrible weather rain or poles 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. that one of the. goals of money wall street in the death of the american century. the best thing that's happened since the financial crisis struck in two thousand and eight. the spotlight has been put on the source of the problem in the world economy and world financial for the last four 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 by putting the focus on wall street and six to seven banks

gigantic banks that are simply too big to save they're not complete to fail anymore . it brings up the question why haven't we done what the swedes did in one nine hundred ninety two when the government stepped in and nationalize the bank drew a ring fence around the problem institutions until they could be sorted out and kept the real economy as we've been functioning and that's what that's happening in the u.s. that's what has happened in ireland that's what has to happen in portugal in these various other countries certainly increase as the occupy wall street movement prepares to go global is closely watching the rallies to take place in europe and the u.s. then miss auspex full coverage on saturday october the fifteenth. sutter's by growing poverty and unemployment. figures by the country's ways and falling as well cutting jobs and social spending people across the globe against their

government's economic policies follow the worldwide action against austerity drive or cartoon. european central bank has called on national governments to do their part to ease the debt burden he called cliche spoke ahead of a key meeting of well finance ministers now gathering in paris to hammer out solutions to the crisis well europe correspondent daniel bushell has more. 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 the governments to come through the european governments come through and take some actions because the latest country problems with spain it's seeing problems with its solidarity or failure solidarity is how the downgrade of its rating a game which is going to make it even harder for it to raise money and pay off its debts we're expecting protests tomorrow perhaps the biggest protests so far over you will start to measures in spain now russia's prime minister has come out and

said that europe's governments could fall this problem if they wanted to really make a. crisis is more political than a financial issue according to different estimates between one and one and a trillion dollars is needed the number is big but the usa 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 takes a little 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 is the latest country which also 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 tree shape saying that he does expect those governments to come through with those cuts in order to balance these projects there is a meeting today and some more of the world's leading finance ministers as they try to tackle this crisis there has been talk in portugal the more just be too painful for the people to take these austerity measures michel. some of those victims of the crisis i'm afraid i'm afraid of 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 to have a good life to have peace and quiet lucia is an active member of the portuguese indignados delish movement its participants believe the government is hell bent on pleasing the rich and powerful and ignores the needs of the people to attribute have to realize that we are not bad we're not we're not going to be bad for any

longer problem. it's happening and it's happening everywhere in spain here in greece. the worst rate of unemployment in thirty years is over twelve percent rising taxes and falling wages are the reality of portugal's a bleak present situation things are so bad people are now making comparisons with cataclysmic periods in their history and looking to them for inspiration leaves you century portugal was in a situation similar to its present state economy was lagging the capital was all but destroyed by an earthquake one that mark people call the minister parking that's his stature right there managed to pull the country out of the crisis three hundred years on however if you believe anybody will be able to perform a similar monumental task the portuguese ignore those saying the solution is to create more jobs and cuts unnecessary expenditure but the government was forced into seventy eight billion euro i left bailout earlier this year pulling in the

footsteps of greece and ireland to pay back the toughest areas because how much reduced which will see longer working hours or less holidays and even listened to the christmas bonuses which most workers enjoyed at the age when you are meant to start a life so you know have your own space your own you know. to have kids you know to hear. if you can't do it you can't do it because you can't afford to do it and how of noxious is that that's the system and the political system that is intertwined with the financial system. that is so completely twisted that conditions. this this to me. personally the biggest thing and as the crisis grows so too do the brains of the outraged members of the indignados people unite for getting.

the well. built i'm not to europe not there because they're not democratic national governments they are not democratic. ravitch. the problem is the system not the right. to call for a global day of action or looked over the fifteenth from the occupy wall street movement that 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 revolution as it is about turning it into a simple fight for survival it goes courting this burn. and more coverage of the unfolding crisis in europe is available on our website is on t.v. dot com also online at the moment for you. the main suspect in the alleged murder of alexander litvinenko says his lawyers have been denied access to information about the case says a london court starts looking into the death of the former russian agent behind

korea but moscow has been sounding the alarm saying that the system could be a potential threat 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 safety 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 aimed against russia but the newly appointed u.s. ambassador to russia michael mcfaul is tall and say that his country has no plans of making these illegal 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 our rescore 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 size that russia will. be cheaper but affect a way to answer what is on the phone 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. a u.s. president has taken a firm stand. it's against iran promising tough sanctions for the country over claims it was plotting to kill the saudi ambassador to washington to rein in were charged with trying to harm members of a mexican drug cartel to carry out the attack something terrible has dismissed as baseless but barack obama says there is enough evidence of iran's guilt and is calling on the international community to make it pay for its behavior by further isolating tehran u.s. is now considering sanctions on iran central bank on the scene even more pressure

by society one hundred randy from the university to run says he's all convinced by the claims of iranian involvement. the more pressure that the united states tries to impose upon iran the iranians will push back as well for the united states as being out of the dishonest iran has absolutely no motive to carry out such an operation if you ron did hypothetically want to carry out this operation 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 the only people who do gain is the united states by distracting attention way away from its problems that well 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 rid the saudi regime he tried to unite its

people against some theoretical hypothetical foreign enemy. he comes you live from moscow later in the program this for you it's two decades since the self-proclaimed republic of transistor announced its independence but there's still no sign of progress in solving the breakaway state problems police call who's to blame in a few minutes. but first let's take a look at some other news in brief from around the world in our world update in libya fierce fighting continues in kind of at his hometown of sirte gun battles have broken out in tripoli for the first time in two months revolutionary forces have opened fire at suspected snipers loyal to gadhafi run m.t.c. fighters says shooting began after a man was spotted raising the green flag symbolizing the alstad regime it's a very serious outbreak of violence in the capital since the then rebels seized control of tripoli in august. prince defense minister liam fox has quit over allegations he gave
