to spruce up its image ahead of it hosting the twenty twelfth football championships comes under fire from animal rights groups the government of burning stray dogs. worldwide news twenty four seven this is r.t. live from moscow and with me. we've had enough that's the message being sent from many around the world to big business and the government as people in almost a thousand cities take their anger to the streets the occupy together movement which began in new york is now demanding global change either bennett is in the thick of it in the heart of london. well the slogan of the protests here in london is paid back and they are of course referring to the trillions of dollars paid in bonuses to senior banking executives over the last decade or so now in

a time when taxpayers' money is continue to be used to bail out the banks at this time of crisis so that's what they're angry about how they've taken their protests to the center of london in the financial district the stock exchange the bank of england and here outside st paul's cathedral over here because they're actually being hamdeen by police caution we having some trouble covering the event actually because even though we're press an accredited pressure not actually being allowed for you know understand from twitter there are three other police cordons in place branded these cases that's the that refers to the controversial police tactic hemming in the protesters now these other cordons are in place outside the bank of england the london stock exchange according to twitter there's a there's thousands there on the steps of supposed seadrill is around five hundred they're sitting there camped out with rucksacks tents sleeping bags they say they're not going to go away. joined now by author and journalist afshin rattansi to talk more about this now ashton is know much coverage from media and the media that is here is having some problems i was wrong with the coverage of this event in

the british media is it getting enough london of course one of the epicenters a financial global capital this demonstration very different from london like the demonstrations of the late late eighty's because they are targeting capitalism avatar the city of london far more powerful arguably than the houses of parliament where we normally have demonstrations because these are the people that pay the elected representatives of the people in this country we're just saying this event though is getting the coverage it deserves as you alluded to a very dangerous tactics by the british police they are not allowing people through their living journalists through to that we get minimise numbers being covered in the mainstream media across the country to limit the understanding by the british people of how there are people supporting the ninety nine percent as they call them very dangerous tactics certain. no freedom of the press today in the city of london helicopters overhead police kettling chopping the protesters in and not allowing protesters to grow more protestors were running do you think they'll actually

achieve anything here what what will they actually get out of this it's difficult to see how demonstrations themselves in themselves are going to change change things because the nature of democracy is so destroyed in this country we know from the rupert murdoch scandal the way the british police were paid off by the media themselves their civic society in this country is super up just so destroyed and so out of touch with the lives of ordinary people who are suffering because of the obsession the religious obsession with cutting the cutting of the debt rather than keynesian even keynesian economics. it's difficult to predict exactly. if you july's for these budgets but this survey going to go up and just quickly this police tactic is that going to possibly more violence that we saw with the riots in the last months ironically the deputy prime minister sporadic did riots because of cuts before the general election i think we're going to see more and more civil

unrest on the streets of london and beyond in this country. thanks very much speaking to our person we go from london at the moment i will try and bring you more updates from not only london stock exchange bank of england where thousands of protesters are now being handed by police. let's cross over to daniel bushell as a lot of the anger about europe's financial meltdown has been centered on brussels the political heart of the e.u. hi daniel as we've seen the protests is going on in certain cities around the world any any signs where you are of concern among the politicians. well yes protesters n l turning up here at the central park of brussels they've come just a few hundred metres away from the european parliament building and they're creating here what they call an alternative parliament the people's parliament if you like one the process to say are not for the financial elites it comes on news of the latest banking outrage one of belgium's leading lenders dexia has been bailed out by the government it's an estimated cost of five thousand euros per

person so the taxpayer is having to pay once again for bankers mistakes and there's been concern over the fact that the c.e.o. of the bank received as to make a six hundred thousand euro bonus last year despite leading the bank to into this crisis there's a huge police presence around you see police on all sorts of vehicles to make sure they can contain and they mean the protesters if they try to try to break out from here with all sorts you say they've banned this group in fact this is illegal because they say there is no running water for them that's the excuse according to protesters for stopping them from actually officially camping here pitching our camp now we've been speaking to some of the protesters who have come from several different cities. the politician should be part of the people and not for the bankers i think if we see if we can start there should be a really good beginning we're a group of sound used to. be telling the difference if we. meet

again to see them it just. leads to. banks i think and. that's the reason that there are people that actually trying to save the banks not the people that seriously. this is an international movement people have. to get to this because this is considered the host of the problem the e.u. had called to see if you like people of home from spain. really did with which. they have been essentially protesting since may fifteenth of this year in fact for several months protesters were camped down here in the main square off the spanish capital. have disbanded that camp but for months they were out here they were demanding that the government do something other than implemented a severe a sturdy measures because those have left people without jobs without homes without

any opportunity for essentially a normalized people have been evicted from their homes because thousands literally have been losing their chance to to pay rent the chance to pay their mortgage loans . spain has one of the highest unemployment rates in the eurozone in fact it is the highest to twenty one percent it has an immense unemployment rate for the e.u. citizens it's over forty five percent so of course that means that the most energetic part of the of the population the young and educated people are left without jobs and what does that mean that means that they're going out on the streets and they're making their voices heard they're just starting to get together from different places from different neighborhoods in madrid in fact it's not just the spanish capital that's going to participate in these marches it's basically several dozens of towns and cities across the entire country but here in madrid people are meeting in their various neighborhoods because they have. special quarters that up all over the place and they're going to walk down to the center to

start it's more or less conradt now there are still some people out there of course but there's going to be thousands literally thousands as there were months ago we're going to come here and they are going to voice their their opinion of what the government is doing or rather not doing loud and clear so we're still ahead for a very busy and very interesting day in madrid of course we'll bring you more as we as we get from this band of capital. so as the occupy movement goes global let's try and track down exactly what's going on where people in almost a thousand cities and eighty two countries from asia and the americas to africa and europe are all united in protests in italy the police there are used tear gas and water cannons to disperse crowds in the capital rome we're getting reports of about two hundred thousand people are marching there right now protesters i did smash up some shop windows and torched some cars as a demo against corporate greed and austerity measures did turn violent plumes of smoke were seen billowing near the coliseum and other parts of the city center then

to germany thousands marched through frankfurt to the headquarters of the european central bank while others joined demonstrations in munich in cologne and crowds in athens also they raged against the bankers finance ca's and politicians they accuse of ruining their economy and condemning millions to poverty and hardship through greed and to hong kong people gathered in the financial district around the buildings of multinational corporations the protesters also taking to the streets of tokyo decrying big business and income inequality as well as directing their anger at nuclear power companies taiwan's capital taipei also played host to an occupy movement many rallied outside the city's financial tower which they see as a symbol of corporate greed. from the east to the west we put our focus now on the united states where the occupy wall street movement all began in new york protesters are on saturday planning a mass march on

a branch of chase bank to close their accounts followed by a rally at the military recruitment center in times square on friday scuffles broke out between police and activists as hundreds marched through lower manhattan at least fourteen people were arrested as the headed to wall street fresh accusations also of heavy handedness were leveled at the n.y.p.d. when footage of most of a man being run over by a police scooter. another bit of footage of some being punched in the face by followers claims of police brutality last week when officers were seen pepper spraying protesters in new york and beating them with but. more importantly it 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 global revolution t.v.

appears to be widening. city of reports while people in the capital of calling for a dialogue the parts of the country are demanding an end to the rule of president. 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 wanting is clear that 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. weeks or months where i see. not all positions we don't know who they are yet syria is under attack but we will not give up. i was the opposition comes down be rational and go into 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 day 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 side to 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 local city that 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 i guess there are still a lot of military the army still in that city of 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. 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-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 sara the both sides in doing what they say they will do so it's down to the action in the next few months. reporting right there are you without a live from moscow and today president dmitry medvedev has addressed his supporters

taliban russia's course of modernization will continue he's preparing to take over as head of the ruling united russia party this for december's parliamentary elections. was that. but this meeting could be described as an informal gathering of the president with what he describes as his supporters and those who ranged from musicians and bloggers to the hads of such companies as. representatives from oil and gas companies those who support change supports me this was the key message of the president and the change according to dmitry medvedev is modernisation these informal meeting with journalists and interpret nurse was actually the first to have to dmitry medvedev announced at the united party congress that he would not be running for a second presidential term he said so in a wait was the place and the time to cross the t.'s and dot the i's so why would a politician whose popularity ratings with the voters are still so high give up the

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 it. demands 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 as 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 force chief to use his influence to stop this cruelty animal rights groups have been staging a small protests against cruelty for three years at the multiplying number of those signing the petition now would alarm european food news 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 but it seems there is no going back even with all the calls to deprive
