out what's happening there and taking best dreams of putting them on the global growth agenda so this sort of a model for a replacement for feel the tension burke says mainstream media outlets will be unable to marginalize or spin the peaceful uprising. as people from all over the world take to the streets demanding elected leaders begin working for the majority instead of the financial elites it's a worldwide movement and if. these principles of equality are going to be defined everything because we have is repeating the united nations the typical united nations united people the people of the occupy movement take their first fight with the world's most powerful economic and political force and this is the first criticized and now spreading across the planet bring up or die artsy new york. both major parties in the united states are accused of marginalizing the protests and observers say they're not surprised us activist and a blogger you hailed around explains why washington wants the occupy movement

effect. that's happening is that there. is using its police force to crack down on these legitimate protests there are no bylane there peaceful and they're responding to it by arresting protesters have to strain them and prevent them from actually carrying out those grievances it's a protest against the current status quo it's a protest against this system you know it's a protest against separatists from stroll to party establishment or. both houses of both republican and democrats it's a protest against that that's why you know i don't consider this to be a political movement i says my this it's social. they're all watching r.t. i do stay with us for the latest developments from the occupied together movement as it spreads all across the united states and worldwide. the truth like growing poverty and. hunger is by the country's ways unfolding as

well causing jobs and social spending people across the globe against their government's economic policies follow the worldwide action against austerity. or cartoons. and you are watching nazi live from moscow now seven months of the uprising in syria have seen three thousand people killed by this according to the latest you and tally with rumors of army defectors joining the opposition the gap between the two sides in the conflict is widening and as an artist has to sell it has been finding out all the capital is firmly supporting the president other parts of the country refuse to tolerate his regime any longer. well here in the center of the syrian capital it is very quiet today it's a day off for most people but of course beneath that calmness the conflict in the country goes on between the government and its supporters and the opposition and now what it one thing is clear though when we try to approach people here and bring up the issue because you can almost always into a heated debate

a very emotional discussion depending on the standard they take it through the sheet music means when i see their appointments not all positions we don't know who they are yet syria's on the charts but we will not give up in the in the huddle i wish the opposition calms down be rational and go into a dialogue with the regime i was the government works for the opposition and be more open minded and i'm going to again we're going to mass the opinion we hear most here is that people are asking who is the opposition who is causing this instability and many of them bring up the words armed gangs they think that these are just people who want to destabilize the country of course this is a position that the government had taken from the very beginning of the conflict but it is a different story when you go outside of the capital we went to the city of ultra stylish was the side of five days of fighting between security forces and anti-government protesters and we felt the tension there there were still a lot of armed forces i'm according to of course again the government they said that they were fighting against armed its own troops who were trying to create

trouble for the locals there but according to some activists and they are saying that these are not armed groups of these were peaceful protesters as well as army defectors with a strong army defecting defector contingent in all just on it's very difficult to verify the exactly what happened in the city because people are very hesitant to talk again there is still a lot of military the army still in that city a bit that is what's happening on the ground it's not very clear it's hard to get the truth on each matter but on a political level though president bashar al assad has said that he will set up a constitutional committee within the next couple of days to debate with the opposition various asides of the opposition. constitutional reform. the dialogue should have a program and a timeline we must clearly understand what kind of results we want to achieve now one of the sticking points of the constitutional reforms is article eight which states that the ruling baath party is the leader of the state and the opposition says that this no matter even if

a multi-car the system is introduced without repealing this article it won't change anything but again on the dialogue that both sides are going to have to take in full size pro and anti all governments the size always say at the end of the day it's not what is said is this is a series of both sides in doing what they say it will do so it's down to the action in the next few months. ok minutes past the hour here in moscow or bear in mind to access all of our news and so much more just log on to our website. a couple of the items waiting for you there right now an apple a day might have kept the doctor away a harvard medical school cancer researcher says the tech icon of steve jobs and desire for unconventional treatment may have caused his death. but you can watch of the dramatic footage right here a fighter jet the left crowd stunned when it crashed down to earth at an air show in central china no injuries.

biological waste namely the dispensing of dead stray animals. we put discriminatory among wheels and are now able to cull the knowledge areas including neighboring towns we had many objections but they all come to nothing in our fight against whites from stray dogs and the spread of infection tens of thousands of stray animals roam the streets of ukraine cities in this accounts cologne hundreds of residents are bitten by dogs every year it sounds authorities plans to first shoot the animals dead and then destroy their bodies in the more wild crematorium but in reality it turned into gruesome killings sparking outrage among the animal protection societies that initial locals believe that the dogs are still alive but we don't have any evidence of what poison is used to kill them so we cannot say for sure that the only efficient way of regulating the number of these animals is to sterilize rather than to kill them and we will stop demanding this happens in

europe improved efficient over the past few decades stray animals practically disappeared there. the animal lovers outcry had a massive response on the internet and online petition was signed by almost two hundred thousand people some of them suggesting you were trying to get wealth should not be held in a country that is so cool to its creatures that the people who demand to cancel your two thousand and twelve is not unexpected but as a rule letters from citizens don't work back in two thousand and ten animal defenders addressed officials of mr platini who then asked deputy prime minister kolesnik. to stop this outrage against animals it's been a year and we haven't seen any results so far and it has been a sustained campaign and getting you a christian to use his influence to stop this cruelty to animals rights groups have been staging small protests against cruelty for three years with a multiply number of those signing the petition now would alarm europeans would lose governing body first there had been strong doubts about ukraine's ability to

severely damaged the country's economy like clifton a national security reporter says washington a first has to wait to see the reaction of 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 multilateral sanctions on bank markazi the iranian central bank and how that could have the effect of affectively collapsing the iranian currency and devastating their economy if anything like what . and 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 onto to a response which is seen as provocative and potentially undermining both the iranian economy and the government. this is r.t.

angry now and put the hard work in and actually earn something everyone wants to come in university and when the top job on top dollars but it matters about job that about banks having too much political control is it just about being so or is it about corporate corporate is what i think it's about it's this disparity but it's capitalism we want we all want capitalism we all want to mark racine out but we also want. to apologize for interrupting the program there on our table we need to cross live to the russian president dmitri medvedev addressing his supporters here are not what he has to say. i've seen some of your various events. so all of those present here are people who want to see our country changing. sure favor of modernization of our society of our states. and therefore your my

supporters. and. this is why i decided to have a talk with you and made the you might have questions that you want to clear up carol starts with the topic which most probably was the. talk of the town apart from the finance minister's dismissal but will not discuss that it's been done and over with i will. talk of the motives of the reasons why i decided on my future plans you know like to talk to you because the people gathered here are those who want some changes who want modernization of our country back to certain extent back the policies that we've been taking. i know that when we've announced the decision at the

convention of united russia party sim of my supporters some of my followers who talked. about the changes felt some kind of frustration or a certain. a certain tension and i've seen that in the publications in the press and online you know i would like to thank sincerely everyone who supports me who trusts me and all those present in this hall and maybe all those watching us on television all those who voted for me at the presidential elections and all those believes that because the policies that we have adopted are vital for the development of our country. have always been honest with the audience we have discussed our political

configuration long before the united russia party convention why. those near and prime minister vladimir putin were responsible statesman. and we often hear approaches that they've met somewhere on. well fishing and decide it's all over let's not go on the post not like that it was. down to law and serious analysis and of course there could have been other options which politics is a very difficult thing where you can lose your points very quickly and stand you will not have any chances even to help the parties least but you can score more points but that's the other option another scenario we had to take into account the . the current scenario the current state of affairs is well as follows

my rating or the level of trust confidence in me and the mr putin's rating are both high for any politician but his rating is higher. than when we are practical people pragmatic people when not fantasizes we want him and the basis for us should be to find the best way to reach our goals in politics regarding our approaches we are very we have similar opinions. and in. real life we're just friends maybe don't believe it or a lot of people don't believe it but we've been friends for twenty years otherwise i would not be able to make any political career. some people

say the president when a person should be becomes president he. didn't lie. everything that has been done before and we should criticize him crush all those people who were presidents before i do think that that's way any politician any policy maker should take into account the current state of affairs and as brothers in arms as very close friends we have taken the decision place you are aware of. left cause we are not seeking it for our own sake we want to ensure a stable and steady development of our country. nevertheless we are all understand that we will continue the development. and.

new people new generation of politicians for will. will and to the politics hands we have announced this configuration now whatever they say it's not a step back it's not backpedaling on the reforms it's a new thing it's a way. to achieve the goals that we have set for ourselves furthermore despite the decision that we've taken. one i'd like to. tell europe that sits since i like all of those who are present here. i don't want to underestimate my own potential which has not been realized to the full i believe but is still sufficient resources and that's why i cannot. for straight the hopes of millions of people who put the power to

me and who voted for me to pin the hopes of change on me. and those people who were. my believes in the need for our country's modernisation our economy's modernization our society's modernization and i feel that i'm responsible for it and much taken a decision to stay in politics to continue my work. and to do some practical work that's why i've gathered all of you here to explain the motives of my own actions acted salk of the future to listen to your opinions to your suggestions. on how we should move on what needs to be done to progress. boards but country needs

country needs development needs steady gradual sustainable. transformations i've been often criticised they said it's just it's just words not action people criticize me saying they want tragical changes in the political structure some radical changes seen the investment climate but to be honest it cannot happen that's way it's going to happen overnight. to begin with the situation today is drastically different from what we had fifteen years ago we can all it's have overnight changes but we must continue with not inflation of our economy this is our absolute priority we must stalls continue to make a chanson society more humane and human. development.
