it is good to have you with us on this saturday you're watching artsy live from moscow with me rory sushant. with the two thousand and twelve election campaign for the next president getting momentum very shortly we'll be crossing to a live feed here in moscow where the current president dmitri medvedev will be addressing his supporters but for now here are the antique corporate protests in america have spread and so have the arrests and the accusations of police heavy handedness dozens more activists have been taken into custody across several cities now at this point one new yorker was pushed face down onto the pavement after apparently being run over by a policeman but hundreds of demonstrators camping out near wall street for a month have claimed a victory over a billionaire man michael bloomberg is a fiction order under the pretext of a cleanup was overturned when the park's owners said the protesters can stay for now that movement against corporate influence has gone global spreading to dozens

of cities worldwide the american members of occupy together both claim they're still being ignored by the mainstream media. and an activist who's breaking the information. from the mass demonstrations of support. to the disturbing images of police force k. after day the world has been able to watch occupy wall street in action through global revolution t.v. a live web street document in the ongoing corporate resistance and civil unrest growing and growing in the big apple it's not about one political party or this or that it's actually creating a platform to have this debate without it being manipulated by the powers that be five years ago. was a derivative street or on wall street today this thirty nine year old is among those camped out in zuccotti park protest. against the financial institutions he

once worked for i saw a movie that combined with the call just them combined with a stool the biggest bomb in the waters of us in the saga of all the comedy co-founded i launched global t.v. series weeks ago we're going to bring people into explain what's going on when the occupation movement began in new york we'll se people how to shoot video music the edit it just upload it and how to make it go viral and the whole idea is that you creating the ten years record in the with this now that the movement has exploded worldwide the web channel will be broadcasting live streams for more than seventy countries and six hundred cities we're going to have a team of people that's going to be like. all the other square as much as we can figure out what's happening there and taking the streams of putting them on the body with each other so this sort of a model for a replacement for c.n.n. says mainstream media outlets will be able 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 are basically creating the united nations except the 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. artsy new york. parties in the united states are accused of marginalizing the protests and observers say they're not surprised us activist. explains why washington wants the occupy movement. what's happening is that they're the ones using its police forces to crack down on these legitimate protests there are no bile and they're peaceful

and they're responding to it by arresting protesters pepper spraying them and preventing them from actually airing out their grievances it's a protest against the current status quo it's a protest against this system you know it's a protest against. this from strolled to party establishment that only you know both houses both republican and that's a protest against that that's why you know i don't consider this to be a political movement a system like this if social. you are watching do stay with us for the latest developments from the occupy together movement as it spreads all across the united states and worldwide. doctored like rolling poverty's into. yours by the country's waiting for hours while putting jobs and social spending people across the globe rise up against their government's economic policies follow

the worldwide action against austerity live on our t.v. . you're watching live from moscow now seven months of the uprising in syria have seen three thousand people killed as 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 a seller has been finding out while the capital is a family supporting the president of a part 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 now what it one thing is clear though when we try to approach people here and bring up the issue of the casique it almost always turns into a heated debate a very emotional discussion depending on the stand that they take the sheet we certainly see or i see pullman's not all positions we don't know who they are yet

syria is under attack but we will not give up. the opposition comes down be rational and go into a dialogue with the regime i was the government opposition and be more open minded . but again we are going to mask 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 understand it was inside the five days of fighting between security forces and anti-government protesters and we felt the tension there there were so a lot of armed forces according to of course again the government they said that they were fighting against armed groups who were trying to create trouble for the locals there but according to some activists they're saying that these are not armed groups that 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 together so a lot of military the army still in that city a but 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 the 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 sides of the opposition. form. 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 matter even if a multi-party system is introduced without repealing this article it won't change anything but again that depends on the dialogue that both sides are going to have

to take and both sides pro and anti governmental sides always say at the end of the day it's not what is said it's this is both sides in doing what they say they will do so it's down to the action in the next few months. so much more just. waiting for you there right now an apple a day. away medical school. steve jobs design conventional treatment may have caused his death. but you can watch the dramatic footage right here. in central china no injuries.

a future state say they won't resume talks until all construction is stopped. ukraine is cleaning up for when to host the euro two thousand and twelve football tournament next year in some areas that includes the burning of stray dogs in a mobile incinerator and animal rights activists you may find some of the images and alexi report disturbing. the way first president michel platini was all smiles while inspecting cleaves new stadium the ground of the year were twenty twelve football championships final match but a box of a much smaller size has been delighting the authorities in will ukraine several months ago local t.v. in the town of the capital reported a purchase over twenty thousand dollar mobile crematorium for utilising biological waste namely the dispensing of dead straight animals. we put this crime

a tory among wheels and are now able to cull the large areas including neighboring towns we had many objections but they all come to nothing in our fight against bites from stray dogs and the spread of infection tens of thousands of stray animals roaming the streets of ukraine cities in this a chance cologne hundreds of residents are bitten by dogs every year in the towns of. the first shooting animals dead and then destroyed their bodies in the morgue. but in reality it turned into gruesome killings sparking outrage among the animal protection societies. the 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 official 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 it proved efficient over the past few decades stray animals practically disappeared. 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 twenty twelve should not be held in a country that is so cool to its creatures that have been able. to cancel your two thousand and twelve is not unexpected as a rule letters from citizens don't work back in two thousand and ten hon defenders addressed officials of mr platini who then as deputy prime minister kolesnik. to stop this outrage against animals it's been a year we haven't seen any results so far and it has been a sustained campaign and getting you a force chief to use his influence to stop this cruelty animal rights groups have been staging small protests against cruelty for three years with the multiplying number of those signing the petition now we do our european food rules governing body at first there had been strong doubts about ukraine's ability to host the championship some had even suggested it be moved elsewhere now with all the new

stadiums in airports springing up it seems there is no going back even with all the calls to deprive ukraine of the tournament but animal rights activists say they will continue putting pressure on the authorities both and. to have their voice heard. see reporting from kiev in ukraine. now a quarter past the hour here in moscow washington says it will send a team to moscow to outline the details of an alleged iranian plot to assassinate the saudi arabian ambassador in the united states to iranians were charged with trying to hire members of a mexican drug cartel to carry out the attack something that's her own is dismissed as baseless but president obama said america has proof and has promised to make tehran quote pay for its behavior by further isolate the u.s. is now considering blacklisting iran's central bank which some analysts suggest good severely damaged the country's economy like clifton a national security reporter says that washington a first has to wait to see the reaction the international. 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 now that could have the effect of affectively collapsing the iranian currency and devastating their economy if it's anything like what hap. 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. now living through the nightmare of north caucasus terrorism not once but twice russian sort of suffer the horror of seeing his wife and son die in the beslan

school attack and then several years like that receive injuries to his eyes and legs in a market bombing he's been a question of i went to hear a story. some say that lightning never strikes twice but there is one man who knows that's not true. i still can't talk about those three days we didn't eat didn't sleep we just waited the entire city was gripped with fear my two sons and my wife were hostages if getting caught up in one horrific act of terror was enough sygate ha suffered. for the whole i felt like i was flying then i heard a loud crash i was lying in the grains i tried to get home but i couldn't i saw five or six bodies next to me all of them were women those are the memories of just

one man fate hasn't been kind to him most people remember the russian republic of north a sense he has two biggest terror attacks from t.v. reports had lived through them both until september two thousand and four forty six year old to the gate always sounds he had everything he wanted from life a loving family two sons and a job he enjoyed but in a flash that life was gone his wife and his eldest son were burnt to death on the last day of the infamous three day beslan school siege the owners of shoulders i should have gone to the identification of my son but i couldn't i told my brother to look at his leisure suit and he had a birthmark fear that's how we knew it was him his second son was shot in the lap while trying to escape but managed to crawl out of the flames alive but sygate can never forget the horror of those days after the siege he was granted disability status due to pos traumatic depression and has been unable to work for the last

seven years but for sid a gay and north us sub here it wasn't over on the ninth of september two thousand ton the capital was shaken boy and now they're down to the act of terror that's bustling central markets was bombed without warning killing nineteen people and the morning fate right in the middle of it. several shards of shrapnel were removed from his lax he was taken to moscow for an operation to save his eyesight after that he spent several weeks in hospital as part of a rehabilitation program nearly as free one these days is familiar with terror acts but only from news reports and the ask closest most people average gatt and sort of get wishes he was one of them and how is your life now yours will be as you called this life i don't i live thirty percent of the time i guess over one depression and then falls back into the next. ciggies life was ripped apart through no fault of

his own but now he only prays he finds enough strength to rebuilt it. in the course there are reporting from north the sats here now at twenty minutes past the hour here in moscow let's get back to our coverage of the u.s. base corporate occupy movement which is now picking up momentum in america and all across the globe i reporter took to the streets of new york where it all began to ask european ex-pats what they think about the protests. as the occupy wall street movement sweeps the us what does the rest of the world think of it this week let's talk about that the banks are stronger than the political people and this is not good i think it's the same situation in germany you think yes and many people are very. angry now it's good to put the hard work in in actually doing something everyone wants to come out of

university and win the top job on top dollar but it's not just a bad job that's about banks having too much political control is it is it just about being so or is it about corporate corporate is what i think it's about it's this disparity but that's capitalism we want we all want capitalism we all want to mark racine now 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 in moscow let's listen in for what he has to say. i've seen some of you are it's very surveillance. right so all of those present here are people who want to see our country changing your. favor modernization of our society of our states. and therefore your my supporters in the city and. this is why i decided to have

a talk with you and may be you might have the questions that you want to clear up but i will start 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 and that to a certain extent back to the policies that we've been taking. i know that when we've announced the decision at the convention of the united russia party sim of my supporters some of my followers who saw.

that the changes felt some kind of frustration or a certain. a certain tension and i've seen that seen 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 suit believes that the core of the policies that we have adopted are vital for the development of our country but i've always been honest with the audience we have discussed our political configuration long before the united russia party convention why. both me and prime minister vladimir putin were

responsible statesman. and we often hear approaches that they've managed somewhere on. well fishing and decide it's all over let's not go on that was 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 current scenario the current state of affairs is. as follows my rating or the level of trust confidence in me and the mr

putin's rating are both high for any politician. his rating is higher. and. we are practical people pragmatic people when not fantasizes we you and the basis for us should be able 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 in moscow. some people say the president when a person should be becomes president he. denies. everything that has

been done before and it should criticize and crush all those people who were present before i do think that that's way any politician any policymaker should take into account the current state of affairs and as brothers and as very close friends we have taken the decision that you're aware of . and of course we have not taken it for our own sake we want to ensure a stable and steady development of our country to me nevertheless we are all understand that we will continue the development. and. new people new generation of politicians for will. do well and to the politics

and 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. i would like to. to tell you about sids 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 that the 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. believe in the need for our country's modernization our economies modernization our societies modernization i feel that i'm responsible for it and march 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. to talk of the future listen to your opinions to your suggestions. on how we should move on what needs to be done to progress. board's country needs country needs development it needs steady gradual sustainable. transformations have been often criticise and they

said it's just as it's just words not action people criticize me saying they won't try to call 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 cannot have overnight changes but we must continue with modernization of our economy this is our absolute priority we must stills continue to. make a chanson society more humane and human we should say develop. the investment climate to support businesses. we should not forget about those who toil hard those who don't have the highest wages. but our

country will consists of various layers of various people we should work on building in multan democracy when we should not call p. a a us democracy or someone else's democracy i do remember those one person i will not name him but when i ask him on what kind of system should we have war i was then member of the administration. and such a person told me no most of it should be just the same as in the us on which i asked him whether he was. saying that in earnest he said yes he could replicate that. but as far as far as i'm concerned with a.
