turn our attention to the united states now where the occupy wall street movement was born a month ago protesters are on saturday planning a mass march on a branch of chase bank to close their accounts that's followed closely followed by a rally at the military recruitment center in times square on friday also broke out between police and activists as hundreds walked through lower manhattan to wall street at least fourteen people were arrested the n.y.p.d. suffered a fresh accusations of heavy handedness and footage of merger of a man being run over by a police scooter and of another protester approaches to refuse me being punched in the face claims of police brutality last week when officers were seen pepper spraying protesters in new york and beating them with batons parties has met a man who's made it his mission to let the world see what's really going on. from the mass demonstrations of support. to the disturbing images of police force day after day the world has been able to watch occupy wall street in

action through revolution t.v. a live web stream documenting 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 live tosh berg was a derivative street or on wall street today the thirty nine year old is among those camped out in zuccotti park protesting against the financial institutions he once worked for i sought. to be combined with the call hierarchy system come by with a stool be the biggest bomb in the waters of us in the sagal the colony co-founded i launched global t.v. news weeks ago we're going to bring people into explain what's going on when the

occupation movement began in new york will surprise people how to shoot video images of the edit they just uploaded and how to make it go viral and the whole idea is that you creating it's opinions record in a 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 see what people have going to do i think that with all the other squares of the as much as we go it be going on what's happening there and taking best dreams of putting them on the border with each other and this sort of a model for a replacement for c.n.n. tension burke says mainstream media outlets will be on a goal 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 it's these principles of equality are going to define everything because we're basically getting the united nations the united nations

united people the people 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. times so as the occupy movement goes global let's try your analogy to track down exactly what's going on where we can cross live now to these are live pictures here from the italian capital rome where organizers say they believe one hundred thousand people are expected to take part we've been watching earlier of smoke bellowing nearby we've got the police in effect there we've got emergency vehicles we do apologize for the quality of this pixelation ok we've got her of course and it was freezing up a bit but those were live pictures from rome people in almost a thousand cities and eighty two countries from asia and the americas to africa and europe they're all united in protests crowds gathered in australia and new zealand

italy and germany south korea and the philippines in hong kong hundreds calls for the occupation of its central district where multinational corporations have offices in tokyo protesters took to the streets to crying big business and income inequality as well as directing their anger at nuclear power companies taiwan's capital taipei you saw people rallying outside the city's financial tower which they view as a symbol of corporate greed. but i throughout the day here on r.t. our correspondents are in europe and all around the world and in america as well bringing you the latest on the occupy it together so do stay with r.t. we are global for you this weekend without special coverage. the truth by growing poverty the. country's waiting for. cutting jobs and social spending people who against their government's economic

policies worldwide actions against austerity. could have you with us today on arts here let's get to some other news for you this hour after seven months of anti regime demonstrations and over three thousand killed in crackdowns the u.n. has warned syria is heading for a full blown civil war and with rumors of army defectors joining the opposition the gap between the two sides in the conflict appears to be widening. reports while people in the capital are calling for dialogue and other parts of the country are demanding an end to the rule of president assad. 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 a cottage 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 of their cause they could almost always into a heated debate a very emotional discussion depending on the stand that they take the other she

took me seriously i see that. not all positions we don't know who they are yet syria's undercharge for storms but we will not give up. in the hood look i was the opposition comes down be rational and go into dialogue with the regime i was the government will accept the opposition and be more open minded. but again we are going to mass the opinion we hear most here is a people are asking who is the opposition who is causing this instability and many of them bring up the boards 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 a site 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 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 so they are saying that these are not

armed groups of these were peaceful protesters as well as army defectors with a strong army defecting the factor contingent in all just on it's very difficult to very fight at these the exactly what happened in this city because people are very hesitant to talk to get a result a lot of military the army still in that city about 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. constitutional reform. 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 reform is a political aide who states that the ruling baath party is the leader of the state the opposition says this no matter even if a multi-party system is introduced without repealing this article it won't change

anything but again depends on the dialogue with all sides are going to have to take in full size pro and anti government to size always see at the end of the day it's not what is said it's this era of both sides in doing what they see people to so it's down to the action in the next few months. reporting right there will still heading your way this hour here on our animal rights activists are all fired up over reports that is that ukraine is preparing to host the euro two thousand and twelve football by throwing stray dogs and some. speaks to the russian man who survived not one but two of the country's worst ever terror attacks we have the full story coming your way in just a few. well with the election season just around the corner here in russia. has addressed his supporters right here in moscow it's all of them the country's

course of modernization will continue to take over as head of the ruling united russia party parliamentary vote for some analysis now we are joined by our correspondent. live here in moscow good to see you so you listen to the president's speech what do you make of it. the president made a very good speech today was that those who support change supports me and the key to this change according to which is modernization all this informal meeting with journalists into prefers the first stop to admit. that he was. not planning to run for a second presidential term so in many ways it was the right time and the right place to finally cross the t.'s and dot the i's and why would a politician whose ratings are still so high with voters at give up the country's top top. knew it doesn't want to underestimate byron potential the car with the union has not been realized

to the full i believe officially that's why i can only his frustration with millions of names put the power to me this aversion for going to the hopes of change show me and those people who believes in the need for our country's modernization our economies modernization our society is much i feel that i'm responsible for and. are changing with a decision to stay in politics as you continue my work. as in you had up russia's largest a ruling party united russia dmitry medvedev was also talking about the key pillars of the party's new program which it is going to resign before the upcoming parliamentary election the programme for the next five years in state too much and of course the key peeler is modernisation all present at today's meeting with jonas

son suffer news among others where he wants us to ski journalist and pads all of the new media the stockmen's and the moscow state university and also david young chairman and pandolfo at the software company who are joining me now we've got a lot has been said about fighting against corruption a vote in a subsidy to modernize a corner me to drive away from the pound and so on oil and gas how close is this perspective to from this perspective has no been the schools it is in use now and good in the reserves i think a lot of applause from the audience for his efforts to steal some withering zation into the russian industry but i think that people have a big i think the key message that i have picked up from this meeting was the method of regards he's new venture into politics as a way to finish what he has been talking about as

a way to get things done and this is a good message ok jason richardson well. i think. as a base as i said today before i went to this meeting i called to my friend's father self you know the biggest russian. computer companies who build their companies by themselves and i asked do you support them in various. innovation initiatives and that very important i think i understood that in most. all of them actually supported me of course they they they say that they would probably do it in some other way or whatever but yes or no yes they support and i think that. today it's very important day we we we shoot to they continue this movement we should a finalize

a look trying to government things and all this corruption. of problems would much easier to be. to be solved if we will have open open society open to the press media and and in the very important message i understood from today's meeting that bit of support this and we will continue this even. as these initiatives of those present in the room today was a patchwork of journalists bloggers. representatives of new media as well as representatives of such companies as a. as young texas school called out what is uncommon between all of them is a fan club in a week. well. russia it's very clear actually russia is. must. must become

a new company and must the. story must become new countries. all previous years russia was famous about clear boyle and guess. what the common thing about your work you says is that but the idea of new rochelle from the vision a world in or in what you know racial central how it was so so with you because back in soviet union so we have this chance of one actually very much like to work so one of the participants all this meeting said not getting one was a galveston's not it's a. finally mansion and such an important thing as decentralizing the country decentralizing the country as a key to modernize in it and you also mentioned the parent projects for instance how important do you think is to get away from sun but is birth more scale all the recent polls show that eighty percent of all books are being published for most ensample just book that's that's a horrible figure that you as

a person who works with for the department of journalism the most state university how crucial do you think it is to move away from the big cities well i think it is absolutely important but what is really important is not simply moving away because we can all move somewhere but because there's the community change what is important i think is that there are new technologies for building modern culture there are new technologies for administratorship there are new technologies for corporate administration and basically what should happen is that this technology just once when older ones were aware of them they should be taken to the regions like iraq iraq is a person from moscow. who became famous in moscow he's galleries in moscow but he moved to power and there in her he engineered real cultural revolution to have more art museum and he's the director know so it could means that we should take expertise from the innovation probs you know that you know vision hobbies or was

a mega ball this innovation is i was a place where so many different companies economic institutions media we all collide and new things are getting bored so what is important is that the spirit of this innovation are just so you can improve it into the regions and their uses distilled groper and hopefully maybe will take his footsteps thank you very much for that insight journalist demands a sort of skate and had to channel the episode where a company to its young gear up to the meeting between a good bit of supporters and russia's president. to take her in a country to live in moscow thank you. ukraine is cleaning up ready to host next year's euro two thousand and twelve football tournament and with that includes the burning of stray dogs in a mobile incinerator with locals claiming in some cases their defenseless animals are burned alive you may find it some images in alexia a shift in support is startling. you atheist president michel platini was all

smiles while inspecting cleaves new stadium the grounds of the huge twenty well 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 research on this capital reported approaches over twenty thousand dollar immobile crematorium destroying biological waste and they mean the dispensing of dead straight animals. we put this crematorium on wheels and are now able to cull the large areas including neighboring towns we have many objections but they all come to nothing in our fight against the lights from strange dogs and the spread of infection tens of thousands of stray animals roaming the streets of ukraine cities in this a child's cologne hundreds of residents are bitten by dogs every year the sounds of dorothy's plans to first shooting animals dead and then destroy their bodies in the morgue. but in reality it turned into gruesome killings sparking outrage among the

animal protection societies closer to the locals believe that the dogs are still alive 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 regulating the number of these animals is to sterilize rather than to kill them and we will stop demanding this happens in europe 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 twenty twelve should not be held in a country that is so cool to its creatures to the people who demand to cancel your two thousand and twelve is not unexpected as a rule letters from citizens don't work but in two thousand and ten animal defenders addressed officials of mr platini who then asked deputy prime minister kalashnikov. 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 at getting you a sense chief to use his influence to install this cruelty animal rights groups have been staging small protests against cruelty for three years but the multiplying number of those signing the petition now who are europeans governing body 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. a look see russia ski r.t. reporting from kiev in ukraine. ok twenty five minutes past the hour here in the russian capital living through the night of the north caucasus terrorism twice
