some kind of martyrdom in the near future we're going to see violence or rob we can already look we already have the violence in this country with the police pepper spraying protesters with you know innocent teenage women and we you know but turned you know on here oh this is what the alternative media showcasing right now again this is a revolution this is this is a change in psychology this is an evolution in human consciousness the people are waking up and we're demanding change this is no different from what we saw overseas in the middle east and northern africa the revolution has now come to the united states of america. christopher greene there and spoke to an occupy wall street activist in the u.s. who told us it's time to change our major corporations behave because people's patience is fast running out what we're placing now in the united states is a critical situation a dangerous situation where corporations are truly running the country they're very

blatantly our politicians and that's why we're out on the streets all over america have to face go to this corruption and graft within the business community that we're in with over into the political situation it's a creative time it's a time for people to really look closely at what the pressure points are on these politicians and on the corporation says as mamma said you know he said some of the things they're doing is not illegal but they're immoral and that's really the the crux of when you have these immoral greedy pigs that are taking billions for their personal wealth and don't care when we have homeless all over the world that we have kids don't have a good education is that we have roots. and yet the greedy pigs at the heart just keep sucking up more and more billions of dollars just for their pockets. a correspondents are continuing to keep their eyes on her people and making their feelings felt around the world and one of the latest tweets from artie's lucy cover

of a new york says people are continuing their downtown demo and the police have stopped journalists from filming and running. or turning to the week's other main news the pain is not over for former ukrainian prime minister yulia timoshenko charges have been raised against her just two days after she was sentenced to seven years in prison for abusing her power on gas deals with russia the conviction drew international anger from russia the e.u. and united states. he's been following the case. judgment day for ukraine's democracy that was how some jobs events in a key of course this week where former prime minister yulia timoshenko was awaiting the verdict over her a legit shady dealings in a gas deal with russia her supporters took to the streets in her defense before being dispersed by the police. three months of nonstop protests surrounding the case culminated in the biggest reminder yet of the orange revolution the two

thousand and four uprising which made him a shango the household name. now as then there were tens of thousands in the streets and they could anger and even naked activists this group staging another topless demonstration against all sides in the dispute but the main drama was inside the court especially after the judge's controversial verdict. the court has ruled that uli of the demand of motivation to who is guilty under article three six five pounds three of the criminal code of ukraine and sentences for a seven years imprisonment under nice of the right to work in civil service for three years just last year and to the shankar was one of the most influential female politicians in the world but having lost her power and now her liberty to machine go was furious. with the ring. hereon regime or it's not picked me the trial showed that the constitution and justice had been trampled underfoot i

urge you to begin the struggle it's a very difficult and important and we have to protect ukraine against the authoritarian regime don't give up. the prosecution claimed she abused power while signing gas deals with russia in two thousand and nine the accusation has raised eyebrows in moscow which insists the contracts were completely legitimate because of access to the legitimate. contract which remains in force which was never a legal challenge. could become the reason. for the good decision. which took place today the e.u. also doubted president speak to the other coaches assurances that the case had not been politicized and lashed out at ukraine's leadership experts say kiev now finds itself in a very difficult position potential membership the european union is some years away and i think we shouldn't pretend otherwise but we do wants the countries in

europe he's tonight to get closer to here not just in terms of membership but in terms of european families like the rule of justice and this is clearly an extraordinary setback and i do think it is quite possible that the invitation for president. to come here on the twenty the taper will now be withdrawn another criminal case was launched against him a shank or two days after the verdict was announced accusing her of shifting her own dare to russia's defense ministry onto ukraine's budget fifteen years ago this only added to her image of a martyr a symbol of freedom supported by the masses and few doubt she would hesitate to capitalize on that status even if she has to wait seven years to do so just hours after the simmering tension in central kid is back to quiet and normal again is unclear. whether you are too much on call space has been sealed as experts are now speculating that a presidential pardon is still a possibility these protesters here i determined to stay here for at least another

week in any case let's see russia ski party reporting from kiev in ukraine. as alexie reported tempers ran high outside quarters the judge read out to mission his sentence and he's documented what happened right in the thick of it his pictures are online and facebook dot com slash r t news footage of the angry response think you have on you tube channel as well. violence toward syria's slow move towards reform is taking a step closer this week and president assad has begun the process of drafting a new constitution within the next four months has been one of the key demands of the anti regime protests that have been raging since march think of three thousand lives that the country might be heading for a blown civil war assad still seemingly enjoys shoot back in terms of well he's running in support of the government in the syrian capital this week was used as a serious work to people from both camps and since just this report.

the voices of support. and continuing dissent some and in deadly clashes polar opposites and their demands but in some way united by a newfound zeal to take a stand for years the fact that the syrian conflict well our lives have gathered show their support for the government that is going to the far right from the images we've been seeing in other cities that the country where there have been reporting watch a significant force of at least government protests additional about what they get about where in this country what they call discoursing sometimes even selfish that there is a feeling everybody with. her husband and young children who are one of many families who braved the heat enjoy the crowds in downtown damascus. it's. true that we knew nothing about politics before but now we take a stand even if i'm a sunni muslim i'm pro this president.

ever since most people started revealing their political stance openly some people would mock me and say since when do you know about politics what do you know there are divisions among family members some are pro a side some are anti but that's how it is. it appears that apathy is becoming less of an option for citizens of a nation now under intense international scrutiny i never watch news i never cared you know i never never had any interest in politics but. i think most of us baby books watch the news bit odd because they always want to know what i don't think and then you have the right back around and other issues about your country where you can take. you there are those like you i who sing who are no strangers to picking a side and making it known he's long been voicing his discontent and what he calls a repressive regime and today facebook is one of his main tools in coordinating

dissent coalition activism has evolved in syria for me i feel that my voice goes further about back then it started with stating an opinion is going to jail it hitting a dead and no one would even know about it that his change now people are more politically aware hussein has been thrown in jail says he was tortured and finds himself constantly looking over his shoulder i was detained for spreading the word on the violent crackdown in daraa but i'd feel like a coward if i didn't wear square life while those on the streets are doing so asking for the regime to fall a call staunchly opposed by those on the other side of it was. because. the. one political career you also see and activists. among syrians are growing whatever side of the divide they're on people here see the future of their country is that stake but all are

adamant that future is firmly in their own hands i guess or so r.t. damascus. well egypt also enjoyed an outbreak of violence this week the worst since the fabry revolution that toppled president mubarak more than twenty people were killed and hundreds injured as clashes erupted between coptic christians and security forces in karachi it began as a peaceful rally calling for justice over a tax on christian churches but it was an extremist if you because you seem charging through crowds and plowing into people while troops rubber bullets and tear gas say to media blame the christian protesters the spot was the same unconnected troublemakers were behind the violence middle east broader culture says the country's military rulers are scapegoating the religious minority. this is a very cynical attempt by the defacto rulers of the country the military to portray . a minority of the population religious minority as troublemakers when in fact

all they're doing are trying to seek some justice and overturn institutionalized discrimination that's the. residue from the time of war barak and his policies so this is absolutely cynical kind of the way it's covered by the military council and its media are let's look at what the background that we're looking at here in egypt because some people got carried away after mubarak stepped down i declared that evolution over in fact what we are facing is a popular uprising that was a poor aborted by a military coup leaving pretty much a political and security vacuum in place and that's the context for what's happening in egypt and all the kind of sides involved from the emerging secular parties. to the rest of the parties through the military to the civil administration president administration don't seem to have enough authority to

control the situation in egypt so that void vacuum of anything is possible at the moment. here without a life here in moscow still ahead when trade turns to mistrust he wants gas from russia's gazprom but parades its european offices report on whether it's stoking new fuel friction plus. explorers chances are very high to be getting over there in the cave a natural shelter or at least discover some traces of this creature so let's go there. on watch for sasquatch the big foot hunters in siberia who say they got the clues of the creatures exist. still to come for you but first russia and china's relations got a seven billion dollars boost this week and huge trade deals came during prime minister positions visit to beijing his first since declaring he will run for president next year that's when specialist francis nunn believes that strengthening their ties can pave the way for a new access of global economic influence the u.s.

and europe. join together this really global politics i think that china and russia can join to get to. wait. around the world of course europe and you would not be happy i don't think the brits will be a political power most probably be a pretty economic power because india is really into china so there is no way even. china. china and russia can pose this for teaching interest in political interest there and would not let. this is very important for both countries. the connection between china and russia goes deeper

than just economic deals as lotty hears next hour from a veteran observer who explains the country's long held cultural ties. just when europe supplies of russian gas started warming up a chill set in with regulators raiding gas problems european offices rosco says it could be forced to review its energy cooperation with the e.u. which could prove a major setback in europe getting the fuel it needs down your bushel reports. this even still to be one reason behind the e.u. raids on girls from offices at the beginning of october european energy giants electricity de france and b a s f as its a join russia sell stream pipeline to europe and they're said to be the this world for the bucco and e.u. bugs rival their successive. tore through. and the commission of law for example if their pet projects got that's why would the e.u. want these raids to spook russia a reliable supplier to renegotiate any contract process must prove irregularities

in its deals with gazprom the european subsidiaries and that seems unlikely nobody really believes that the q. has a strong case for proving their point we see this more as a measure to increase pressure on gazprom in russia the e.u. says it wants cheaper gas and more players on the market but his strategy may have one crucial flaw i'm going they say sell our gas to another company when it gets to europe but that company must make a profit on the deal and that will immediately raise the price on the e.u. pay analysts say the being influenced by several anti russian hardliners many of whom are upset at missing out on the opportunity to take part in big energy ventures especially baltic nations which the north's three point line of the sake of russian gas straight to germany instead of complaining gas experts say they could have moved on the world with russia. with the way it is and how russian

inertia will undermine their society politically and economically at the moment when it is pursuing a one dimensional policy that given the problems in the euro zone will leave it regretting it did not pursue a more constructive policy with russia will guarantee for example signed a new deal of gas prices which will generate income and contribute to canonic stability emotions that are also running hoyer my. some pure opinion politicians who want to end their reliance on russian gas despite efforts by moscow to diversify routes. here. we don't think. we fortunately. there. was no immediate alternative to russian gas those stereotypes can only affect the long term solutions between the european

energy markets and its biggest supply of the new bushel of brussels. time now to a page or a couple of international headlines now in our world update the sound of a mass leader says no agreements been reached with israel on the date when soldier gilad schalit it will be handed over part of the historic swap deal which will see palestinian prisoners free although that number is also yet to be finalized it comes hours after israel published a list of palestinians to be released in exchange for the captured soldier president peres is expected to pardon a thousand people all together. thailand is gripped by its worst flooding in half a century almost three hundred people confirmed dead in the disaster that lasted for two months more rain is predicted later on sunday in many regions including the capital bangkok authorities say the city of twelve million won't be severely affected by the flooding especially installed flood is strong still the city has been put on high alert. in search of a legend

a new quest to track down one of the world's most mysterious creatures has kicked off in russian siberia. join the expedition. the yeti also known as big food snowman whole sasquatch has been exciting scientists and enthusiasts from all the world for more than a century but explorers have never had enough evidence to determine that this apparently creature is more than just a big legend these beautiful mountainous forests in russia siberia are among the few places on earth thought to be roamed by yetis and places where the scientists from around the globe has come for the largest expedition of its kind since the nineteenth fifties to set out with never been done before to finally catch the creature. but first we go to get a blessing from this lions indigenous inhabitants and the least their spiritual support.

the mission. shaman a dashed doesn't have any doubts i'm not shocking tell you that but yes he is encouraged we continue our journey the path goes through impassable tiger fake it in the hunt for the evidence every minor detail becomes important ranch is twisted like fears are believed to be a key clue to the other's existence the scientists say it could not have been done by animals as they don't have hands of fingers to do and humans cannot do this way either as they're just not strong enough to do you know we go into the forest the most so cold markers we come across two cards in the middle of the tiger forest are also high interest the disappearance of the expedition are saying it's not just falling trees the branches they say could have been put in this way deliberately

someone and other stroke of luck will meet a local who says he saw a tall man like harry creature nearby explorers saying. this is a very high to me yes the over there in the cave a nest or at least discover some traces of this crater so let's go there. and sure enough the clues emerge there is what seems to be. a troll with the feel that it was just for the thrill certainly not a bad the scientists agree while remaining cautious of jumping to conclusions this is a beautiful surface book in which we're tracking it and there's only one interesting way you uncertain here you must be right there. to the right. bigfoot playing hopscotch sure like to see a left foot that's the left one has never been discovered and celebrations are put on hold these are the real thing or they're convenient crops to make

a very good story but i wouldn't be quick to determine which of those two alternatives is the truth without further. the study that all take a while could provide cast iron proof of the yet is existence but there are plenty here who want to be held in their breath that. even if you bring them snowmen dead or alive the skeptics will say that's apology or mutation i think this could be explained by an important including financial and in terms of the academic science . has exploded seems to have those involved going in circles and so it seems that until concrete evidence is found the discovery of big food remains a bleak fate. reported from siberia. well i'll be back with a recap of this week's top stories very shortly stay with us live here in moscow.
