police officers doubled up the barricades we were prevented from moving left or right we couldn't go up or down we could meet up with the baker march which was actually taking place on forty second street but the police again extremely tense extremely aggressive with the protesters at one point we saw a group of protesters reciting the first amendment to the police and still still we were told to get out of here even though there was no place to actually go things happen down now but we will be on the ground reporting for our team from times square this is lucy chapman oh. you can follow twitter feed to get the latest polish demonstrations indeed they got little sites on her first time videos from times square and go. of course you can follow other correspondents don't call them slush. and he green movement attracts more attention is reports of allegedly groundless arrests in the age and some predict that even more violence on the streets of american cities is possible as the marches spread from coast to coast

there is going to be some kind of martyrdom in the near future we're going to see violence or rob we could argue that 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 a ton of you know on camera this is what the alternative media showcasing right now i mean 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. what started a more street is now spread worldwide this weekend galvanized into action in one of the largest collective movements of its kind tens of thousands of spilled on to city streets across the world and secret protests have already taken hold in more than eighty countries with europe becoming one of the main targets of public fury against banks and politicians in rome riot police used tear gas and water cannons

claims that they uncovered them and sustentation by iran. analysts have questioned the evidence and why tehran would have a motive. still to come in meantime former ukrainian prime minister yulia timoshenko feels the law's icy grip just two days after being sentenced to seven years behind bars for abuses of power and gas deals she signed with russia a new set of fraud charges lined up against the guilty verdict through international anger from russia the e.u. and the united states. judgment day for ukraine's democracy that was how some dubbed events in a key of course this week where former prime minister yulia timoshenko was awaiting the verdict over her alleged 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 a household name. now as then there were tens of thousands in the streets naked anger and even naked activists this group staging another topless demonstration against all sides in the dispute up at the main drama was inside the court especially after the judge's controversial verdict is what the court has ruled that you'll have the demeanor of not to mention kill is guilty under article three six five three of the criminal code of ukraine and sentences her to seven years in prison and and denies of the right to work in civil service for three years just last year a jewish ankle was one of the most influential female politicians in the world but having lost her power and now her liberty to go was furious because of marijuana we carry in regime or its market taught me the trial showed that the constitution and justice had been trampled under couped i urge you to begin the struggle it's

a very difficult and important moment we have to protect ukraine against real story tarion 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 but we cannot accept that a legitimate. contract which remains in force which was never legally challenged. could be. the reason. for the decision. to push to the e.u. also doubted president viktor yanukovych his 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 as potential membership the european union is some years away and i think we shouldn't pretend otherwise but we do once the countries in

europe cease to neighborhood to get questions here not just in terms of membership in terms of european values 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 yanukovych to come here on the transit 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 desire 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 kiev it is back to quiet and normal again it is unclear whether unity much sank or space has been sealed as experts are now speculating that a presidential pardon is still a possibility but these protesters here are determined to stay here for at least

another week in any case let's see russia party reporting from kiev in ukraine. but as we saw that tempers run high outside court after unity machine because guilty verdict was announced and our correspondent. who just saw there documented what happened right in the thick of it and his pictures are online at facebook dot com slash. also we footage of the angry response and you tube channel. and it seems gas still drop or is all over the news of the moments later in our program we find out what e.u. regulators were looking for when they raided the european offices of russian energy giant gazprom. moves towards reform of started in syria where a new constitution is being drafted following months of government protests the draft is due to be complete within four months president assad has called for multi-party elections every of the months from protesters in the streets since

march this week tens of thousands of assad's supporters have been cheering in support of the government and the syrian. state of the free falls and lies with the u.n. warning that the country might be heading for a full blown civil war that is to sinners but to people from both sides and said just this week. but voices of support. have continued in dissent some and even deadly clashes polar opposites in their demands but in some way united by a newfound zeal to take a stand burger the fact that the syrian cabinet was the gathered show their support for the government that is going up our partner be images we've been seeing in other cities like countries where there have been reporting was let me become a force of government approach transition however what i think it was about where in this country was the forces are tightly shut that was

a very safe every night with. her husband and young children one of many families to brave the heat enjoy the crowds in downtown damascus but 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. very divisions among family members some are pro west side some are anti but that's how it is. it appears that apathy is becoming less of an option for citizens of the nation now under intense international scrutiny i never watch news i never cared you know i never never had any interest in politics. i think most of us read it books we watch the news media articles and on facebook but i know nothing and then

you have the right background and other issues of a kid and you've got people. you know there are those like you who are hussein who are no strangers to taking a side and making it known he's long been voicing his discontent of 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 down back then it started with stating an opinion or going to jail get hit again and no one would even know about it that has changed now that people are more politically aware and same 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 feel like a coward if i didn't force my life while those on the streets are doing so asking for the regime to fall the call is staunchly opposed by those on the other side yet

if. we keep that in the camp. you can find. one political career also he adds activism among syrians are growing whatever side of the divide they're on people here see the future of their country is at stake but all are adamant that future is firmly in their own hands and that's our still yeah r.t. damascus. iranian president luck with an adventure and has dismissed claims by washed. in the tehran plot to assassinate the saudi arabian ambassador to the u.s. an american delegation is now heading to russia china and turkey to provide evidence to back up their suspicions washington has warned that it's committed to holding to iran to account but iran says the claims are an attempt to isolate it from the international community and those within the country say any u.s. action will not go unanswered. states citizen who holds the more pressure that the

united states tries to impose are on iran the iranians will push back as well the united states is being utterly dishonest iran has absolutely no mo to carry out such an operation if you ron did hypothetically want to carry out this operation they could have done it in the middle east in an area where there are more high profile figures and where it could be carried out much easier why would iran want to create extra sensitivity with the united states so it's absolute nonsense and obviously iran gains nothing from it the only people who do gain is the united states by distracting attention way away from its problems at home such as the economic hardship that people are facing its decline in the middle east it helps israel come out of isolation it helps the saudis the saudi regime try to unite its people against some theoretical hypothetical foreign enemy. recent raids by e.u. regulators on the european offices of russian energy giant gazprom may force moscow

to review supply deals to europe industry analysts say the searches were desperate act pressure on russia to sell gas on better terms but he's done a bushel went looking for the reasons behind the raids. this event still to be one reason behind the e.u. raids on gazprom offices at the beginning of october european energy giants electricity de france and b a s f said to join russia sell stream pipeline to europe and they're said to be the this world for the bucco an e.u. budget rival their successive of. told throng last month and the commission of law for example it's their pet project that never got but why would the e.u. want these raids to spook russia a reliable supplier to renegotiate any contract brussels must prove irregularities in its deals with gazprom the european subsidiaries and that seems unlikely nobody really believes that that you 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 against a europe that company must make a profit on the deal and that will immediately raise the price of the e.u. own spay analysts say the being influenced by several anti russian hardliners many of whom are upset that missing out on the opportunity to take part in big energy ventures especially baltic nations which the north stream point one point policies taking russian gas straight to germany instead of complaining because experts say they could have moved on the world with russia. lithuania is and how russian inertia will undermine their society politically and economically at the moment little one is pursuing a one time national park. that given the problems in the euro zone we'll leave it

regretting it did not proceed on more constructive policy but russia for example signed a new deal with gazprom which will generate income and contribute take anomic stability emotions that are also running high among some european politicians who want to end their reliance on russian gas this point efforts by moscow to diversify routes. seem to. think. we. fortunately. but with no immediate alternative to russian gas those stereotypes could only affect the long term relations between the european energy markets and its biggest supplier the new bushel of brussels. to libya now where civil war is still a reality the national transitional government has faced new resistance in tripoli

this week and the first time since the capital was taken in august several were injured in gun battles with gadhafi supporters after an attempt to raise the ousted regime's green flag on a city rooftop over in the town of sirte gadhafi loyalists left a fierce counterattack forcing back revolutionary fighters he's been trying to take control of the ski stronghold for months now and t.c. says it will only declare liberation once things but this new general son of a self-taught see that the scenic old means ignoring the line. of happening in sirte is really quite shocking i mean if you remove yourself from saying i support one side or support the other side what we're seeing is a full scale assault on. a very densely populated area in which civilians are paying a very very heavy price now the reason why this is important is because the whole basis on which nato imposed the no fly zone at the beginning of this conflict was

precisely to defend civilians against military attacks and now we have if you like the allies of nato doing what their enemies were doing a few months ago and you have to begin to ask yourself well where is nato now why is nato not saying these are civilians under attack by a military force we have to stop we have to stop this attack and i think what we're beginning to see is if you like is that from a reemergence of the double standards what's happening in libya now is it's going to be a war crime the attack on sirte is a war crime and i think it has to stop immediately has to be negotiation they have to be allowed to surrender but more importantly i think if they don't surrender then you put the city under siege and allow the civilians to flee and they're not and they're not doing that. time now to update you on some other international developments international headlines now in our world update israel has publicist of the palestinians to be freed in exchange of a country soldier gilad shalit since the modern historic prisoner swap of the most of them are to be released on tuesday while the rest will be freed in december and

last leader has said no agreements been reached with israel on the date of when the soldier will be handled who's expected to be returned home during the first phase of the swap. the worst flooding in thailand for half a century that's left almost three hundred people dead is continuing to wreak havoc heavy downpours and overflowing rivers have destroyed more than seven hundred thousand homes and swamped ancient temples country's capital bangkok is going over five of the principals water pumps and canals as more rain is predicted. in search of a new legend a new quest to track down one of the world's most mysterious creatures is kicked off in siberia that is more of an ocean or joined the expedition. the yeti also known as big food whole sasquatch has been exciting scientists and enthusiastic from all the world for more than a century but explorers have never had enough evidence to determine that this apparently gigantic creature is more than just

a big legend these beautiful mountainous forests in russia siberia i remember a few places on earth thought to be roamed by yetis and this is where the scientists from around the globe have come for the largest expansion of its kind since the nineteenth fifties to set out what's never been done before to finally catch creature. the first we go to get blessing from baselines indigenous inhabitants and the list their spiritual support. through many. shaman and doesn't have any doubts i'm not sure i can tell you that but yes he does exist encouraged we continue our journey the path goes through impassable tiger flickered in the hunt for the evidence every minor detail becomes important ranches to

resupply 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 it this way either as not strong enough to do we go into the forest the more so cold markers we come across because in the middle of a tiger forest are also high interest the disappearance of these expeditions are saying it's not just falling trees the branches they say could have put him this way deliberately by someone and now the stroke of luck we meet a local who says he saw a tall man like harry creature a nearby explorer saying. there's a very high to me yet you were there in the cave and shelter or police discover some traces of this creature so let's go there. and sure enough the clues emerge there is what seems to be a view that was told here that you believe this is just for the privilege certainly

not a bad as scientists agree while remaining cautious of jumping to conclusions this is beautiful surface book in which we're tracking it and there's only one industry mind you and certainly here you must be right there. and all right. thanks for playing hopscotch sure would like to see a left foot. that's the left one has never been discovered and celebrations don't 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 is the truth without further. study that will take a while could provide cost iran proof of the yet is existence but there are plenty here who want to be held in their breath. even if you bring them snow men dead or alive the skeptics will say that's a pathology or

a mutation i think this could be explained by an admittance including financial importance of the academic science. him bush is expected to have those involved going in circles and so it seems that until concrete evidence is found the discovery of food remains a big hit. reported from siberia. twenty seven minutes past the hour here in the russian capital i'll be back with a recap of our top stories about three minutes and they'll stay with us life here in boston.
