around the clock around the world this is r.t. live in moscow the total number of killed in the syrian conflict now stands at well over three thousand activists say at least twelve have died in fresh violence after security forces opened fire protestors were calling for nationwide demonstrations in support of army defectors who've joined the opposition the government insists they're not revolutionaries but armed gangs that threaten the public to syria has more. 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 taking place evidence of fighting in oliver stone is plain to see there was an air of suspicion the tense mood only broken by children now smiling but only two weeks ago these youngsters were witness to violence in their hometown 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 to most of us on 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 arrived there were groups of people who had their own demands they had these demands for a little while and then it all escalated when they arm themselves we saw that the situation had become a threat to the people and that's why we decided an intervention should take place . where inside syria or if your. son was going to be this is your way of what basically i'm working with me see here this was what you said was basically. from our

side here. but opposition activists insists that these were not on gas or terrorists but army defectors so far the government has said little on the subject of decisions from the military i think it's a kind of a strategy by the government. weakening the moron of the. forces so if they talk about the friction. well it's become a signal that could be there will be more of the friction so instead. armed gangs or was so with this kind of this will serve the purpose but under the circumstances the morale of most affected by the violence in understand is that of the locals does or still they are in syria trouble has flared in the us between protesters from the occupy wall street movement and new york police at least fourteen have been arrested scuffles broke out as hundreds of activists marched

through lower manhattan to wall street. is in new york with the latest. those pasha's broke out a few hours ago as hundreds of demonstrators walked in marched through lower manhattan and then some marched into the street and now for the other were reports that there were images of police on scooters driving into some of the protesters a report of one of the protester there put run over by al by the scooter that was driven by a police officer ah there were some also reports of police officers punching some of the demonstrators statement the one one man taken into a potting wagon was seen with blood gushing from his his head and there were also reports that some of these demonstrators when they were marching through lower manhattan power were throwing some glass bottles turning over garbage cans police say that at least four scene of the people taking part in the march or arrested now

force this is just the latest wave of clashes between police officers and the protesters camped out here for four weeks but they came after what is being dubbed a huge victory for the occupy movement it was early in the morning that the protesters were supposed to be picked it from their park that they've been camped out in for i did a while the city said they wanted to clean up the park this was a process that was made by the property owners now the there was about two thousand people down in lower manhattan in support of these protesters protecting that barricading them a human chain was formed around the park because the protesters said they were not going to leave they leave the park on their own and about how power before they were to be evacuated or were moved to the city made an announcement that the police would not remove them that the property owner said that they would deal with that demonstrators directly as they have been camped out here for weeks taking part in

the occupy wall street movement grazie. awareness about the dissatisfactory belts among the majority of americans when it comes to the gap between the rich and the poor when it comes to pop corporate influence over u.s. politics and this clearly is being regarded as a huge victory for the popular time movement that is continued so this is going to stretch way beyond america's borders with the next twenty four hours because up odd saturday this movement is going to global odd out six hundred cities to be proud of seventy countries around the world will be taking part in this type of demonstration protests have been planned everywhere from rome to london to upper lip and people are going to be gathering in different squares the streets pods throughout the world to be talking about cars there are their right to democracy the way that they would like to see their country govern the way that they would

like their elected officials to be opting out be competent people that elect them not eat the op the financial elites so this is not over by any means it is going to be expanding it is going to be going global and of course our team will be covering the story. that she just said is the occupy wall street movement proposed to go global we'll be closely watching the rallies to take place in europe and the u.s. don't miss our special coverage tomorrow saturday october the fifteenth. growing poverty in the. country's wage and. cutting jobs and social spending people of the globe against their government's economic policies follow the worldwide action against austerity like. the european central bank has called on national governments to now do their bit to ease the debt burden its president jean-claude trichet spoke ahead of

a key meeting of world finance ministers gathered in paris to hammer out solutions to the crisis europe correspondent daniel bushell has more. 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 action because the latest come true problems with spain its problems with its solidarity a failure of solidarity is how the downgrade of its rating again 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 the measures in spain now russia's prime minister has come out and said that europe's governments could solve this problem if they wanted to. the crisis is more of a 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 eurozone can handle it it's

a political issue because in order to gather those resources the leading european countries must offer a shoulder to those in trouble take 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 which is 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 austerity measures over the course which are thought to be extremely painful for the population now we've also seen the john crow tree shape saying that he does expect those governments to come through with those cuts in order to balance this 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 who are 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 in these matters they are not going to be able to to have a good life to have at least a decent who she 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 they have to actually have to realize that we are not bad. but we are not going to take bad for the. problem and people are slow and pointing out it's happening and it's happening. everyone spring here in greece. the worst rate of unemployment in thirty years at over twelve percent

rising taxes and falling wages are 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 in a few centuries 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 marketable the super kingdom that's his statue 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 to. the portuguese in the not o's say the solution is to create more jobs and cut unnecessary expenditure but the government was forced into seventy eight billion euro i.m.f. bailout earlier this year following in the footsteps of greece and ireland to paid back to the stairs because had been introduced which will see longer working hours 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 so that you know have your own space your own you know. to have a kid so you know to go if you can you can't do it you can't do it because you can't afford to do it and how of noxious is that. system and the political system that is intertwined with the financial system. that is so completely twisted that conditions your life so this this to me. personally the biggest thing and as the crisis grows so too do the ranks of the outraged members of the indignados people do not forget to mention out of the. world. are not the. not there because it's not democratic. national governments they are not democratic people. rabbit hole does your problem

dot com. the u.s. president has taken a firm stance against iran promising tough sanctions against the country over claims it was plotting to kill the saudi ambassador to washington to rain ians were charged with trying to hire members of a mexican drug cartel to carry out the attack something to iran is dismissed as baseless but barack obama says there's enough evidence of iran skilled 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's central bank promising even more pressure like lifting a national security reporter says that the details will lie in the response washington gets from the international community. the types of things that have been discussed thus far would be quite powerful and would be potentially devastating to iran's economy promoting. lateral saying sions on bank markazi the iranian central bank now that could have the effect of actively collapsing the

iranian currency and devastating their economy if it's anything like what happened in iraq as for iran's response i think there's a lot of variables there and a large part of it i believe will go back to how large of an international group and coalition. the obama administration can bring together at the united nations to sign on to to a response which is seen as provocative and potentially are undermining both the iranian economy and the government. now let's have a quick look at some other news in brief from around the world that very nearly sixty minutes past the hour in libya fierce fighting continues in colonel gadhafi as hometown of sirte got battles have broken out in tripoli for the first time in two months revolutionary forces have opened fire at suspected snipers loyal to gadhafi one m.t.c. fighter says shooting began after a man was spotted raising the green flag symbolizing the ousted regime it's the first serious outbreak of violence in the capital since the then rebels seized control of tripoli in august. britain's defense secretary

travelling three hours south of the russian capital and we've arrived at our next destination. a simple field in the moscow region has been turned into a backdrop featuring several tanks army vehicles dummies and trenches. we're at the outside location of a new film called white tiger headed up by the famous soviet and russian director. it's an adaptation of a story but. today over one hundred people are involved in a twenty second battle sequence the movie recreates the events of nine hundred forty three and this is the largest collection of such work. russian and german actors are used in the film in the project has been given just a three month timeframe a bit of a problem this weekend as the crew needed to be rainy. and lights camera action after several rehearsals it's time for recording black dark smoke has

profound let's meet my main question great to meet you as the media thanks for your time now you'll first film was in one nine hundred seventy nine how has filmmaking changed over the past few decades changed much it was a lot of them of those begin in soviet period the first four films i make five of us bulls and six made during the soviet period proposal maava and i were going ization of film industry it was very appalled full so we had film in the stores where a ball full. advantage of that you never think about the money ok the minus of the system was censorship and it was enough tough censorship so especially for young filmmakers that was the problem to find the theme. when the you can see something what you want to see.

for instance began from beginning from shooting from musical films is called going with this it was much easier. if you made such freedom censorship didn't mind a lot to mobilise through because i believe the film you're currently working on is the first one about war is that correct this one this one is it's water from first of all through my eyebrows used one for if we should like to direct it it's it's a venture to signal as we make the film better for anyone to say. beautiful soul the seems very good but if you have failed banks it's bad because they feel them driving the. blow in so it's made it can help to get knowledge it can help if you have something that really. in the show. thank you very much.

moving on to other cinematic experiences or activities with mentioning in. one of the most impressive experiences from. an imax cinema some of the most up to date technologies films integration resolution huge screen several stories high. special movies on science and nature. many hollywood blockbusters are now also set up to be imax film. experience he's watching films in the so-called secular cinema. exhibition. built in nine hundred fifty nine it still functions as a three hundred and sixty degree cinema with eleven screens and stereo sound. as popular as it was in the soviet times cinema still an interesting place to visit

and watch one of its special twenty minute movies. and finally the russian state university. named. to get the country's oldest and largest cinema school education founded in one thousand nine hundred it was the first state education establishment in the world no graduates. include directing script writing acting and producing work in a cinema and television industry all around the world. cinema would be the same without special effects spectacular heights or dramatic sequences. that in mind of travel to an area just outside the center of the house is a stunt school and training academy. here experts working. sequences that are rigged so they look hazardous still having

a full range of safety precautions and mechanisms the source fighting here is in some ways nothing more than a current graft sequence. but i'd like to try out two stops today first involving fire. now on with the five protection suits like other using tape instead of velcro but. i'm told worryingly enough that it's faster to cut open in an emergency now. i'm told to wait and not to make any sudden movements or flops my arms will fuel the flames with everything ready they slowly pull into the back of my suit and the flame is lit. up like. that but that was.

an experience and all controlled by fully trained experts i could even feel the flames heat. and as the movies like night and day watch and how i ended the summer make an impact on the international scene many russian film projects continue to stall worldwide. and when various global awards. perhaps money freedom and technology will bring a new golden age to russian cinema. you know russian film industry has an enormous future because you know. russian content will always russian language content will always appeal to the audience to the local audience is just the way it is it's not going to change no matter what anybody says. plus i think the government's really helping in terms of you know making bigger budget

patriotic films as. these. things. would like to see. doesn't match. the russian food russian film is more or less. it's something which appeals to so but not to the books will focus. well at least i knew the stuff here first. well unfortunately that's how we have left on this week's program on the subject of cinema i'll see you again at the same time next week and tell them for me and the rest of the curve. for now . that was scary. but you still may be.
