chicago there are several hundred they were camped gallant in what was called a grant park they had ten set up very similar to what's been going on all across the country to police officers there had given them the order to vacate by eleven pm they had not done so and so we witnessed police officers coming in and cutting down tents and of course unfortunately arresting those who would not be this is very similar to what we saw develop right here in new york city as we were reporting earlier in times square there were massive standoff between police officers and protesters were stuck at least officers on horseback riding and right up really quick close to where the protesters were scaring people and stomping on some people we saw a unit of police on scooters sort of going into the crowd hurting some individuals several protesters were arrested before my eyes most of them were being peaceful sitting down not really trying to do anything to interfere with the police and yet they were taken and very forcefully slammed down onto the ground face first and

cocked and then led away and the other incidents that we know of that took place is actually beatings by the police with the times we know that there was approximately a total of ninety protesters now that were arrested in new york city during the course of the events yesterday now aside from what happened in times square which we've been reporting on a very intensely there was actually a massive stand up in washington square park which is an area near a college campus in new york city some of the occupy wall street protesters had gone down there they held what they call a general assembly which was their big meeting where they decide whether or not to occupy that park as well or not. dozen or two dozen or so of them decided to stay and what we saw was and i'm president of the use of force by police we saw a riot police regular officers around the entire park. just to clear this area for me is twenty protesters or so they kicked us out as journalists were trying to tell

the incident to sort of capture what's going on and bring that information to the world and the police officers actually started using the stranger strobe light flashlights to blind our cameras this is despite the fact i clearly said that it was journalists we were clearly marked as reporters there are several other reporters next to me at the time we had a press that's handy and still they were pushing us out and essentially using force to keep us from reporting the story very very fortunate son of a very tedious confrontations between the police and the protesters who again in a large part were being mostly peaceful just like you know difficult fellows. twits who for you to get the latest now would have been stretched across the u.s. it's. movements to try to get more times as well as reports of allegedly groundless unrest submerge some predicting even more violence on the streets of american cities as the much and spread from coast to coast. there is going to be some kind

for choosing r.t. for your news tonight we've got plenty more ahead for you two from moscow and also made some for kossovo serves nato demands the removal of brogue blocks a disputed border crossing the serbian obviously weatherston learn if the right to make. a request is actually illegal we got a load at israel's foreign minister says israelis and palestinians should be left to sort out their own problems by themselves again we got want details about story two bit later this hour. before both. before we created prime minister yulia timoshenko feels the laws icy grip just two days after being sentenced to seven years behind bars for abuses of power in castille she signed with russia a new set of fraud charges is lined up against the guilty verdict drew international anger from russia the e.u. and the united states. judgment day for ukraine's democracy that was how some got events in a key of court 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 and two thousand and four uprising which made him a shango a 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 country herschel verdict. the court has ruled that yulia vladimir of motivation kill is guilty under article three six five hundred three of the criminal code of ukraine and sentences her to seven years imprisonment under nizer the right to work in civil service for three years just last year at yuma shankar was one of the most influential female politicians in the

world but having lost her power and now her liberty to go was furious. with the re carrying regime or it's not a clue to stop me the trial showed that the constitution and justice had been trampled under root i urge you to begin the struggle it's a very difficult and important moment we have to protect ukraine again feel free tarion regime can 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 and we cannot accept that a legitimate. controversy which remains in force which was never changed. 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 to 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 seems to know that 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. to come here on the twentieth of october will now be withdrawn another criminal case was launched against him a shank two days after the verdict was announced accusing her of shifting her own debt to russia's defense ministry went to 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 is back to quiet and normal again it is unclear whether unity much sankoh slate has been sealed as passports 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's tea party reporting from kiev in ukraine. well as we saw and heard the tempers really high up side court after you leave because guilty verdict was announced and our correspondent legs very carefully documented exactly what happened he was right in the repeated throughout because pictures of facebook dot com slash our team use we've also got footage of the angry response to get on our you tube channel four years well. also seems a gas deal drama is all over the news at the moment later in our program to find out what e.u. regulators were looking for when they've raided the european offices of russian energy giant gazprom. raided president mahmoud dismissed

claims by washington that surround plotted 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 this is patience washington's war that it is committed to holding to round to account for it but iran says the claims of the attempt to isolate the international community and those within the country say any u.s. action will not go unanswered. the more pressure that the united states tries to impose on pani iran the iranians will push back as well the united states is being utterly dishonest iran has absolutely no motive they carry out such an operation if you run 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. saudi regime try to unite it's people against some theoretical hypothetical foreign enemy. moves toward reform of starting to syria where a new constitution is being drafted after months of anti-government protests drafted to be completed in four months and for president assad called for multi-party elections in february after demands from protest is run streets now since march this week tens of thousands of assad supporters and cheering for the government in the syrian capital the unrest has claimed of three thousand lives but the u.n. warning that the country might be heading for a full load civil war parties tetris of the spokes people from both sides as you said this report. voices of support.

and continuing dissent some ending in deadly clashes polar opposites in their demands but in some way united by a newfound zeal to take a stand where the fact that the syrian capital was the gathering their support for the government is going to look far to be images we've been seeing in other cities that a country where there have been reporting was with me because the forces that government protests were shocked by what they get about where in this country was they call their forces outside that. very day for everybody but the. her husband and young children were one of many families who braved the heat and joy the crowds a 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 mark me and say since when do you know about politics what do you know gary divisions among family members some are pro a side some are anti but that's how it is. it appears that apathy is becoming a less of an option for citizens of a nation now under intense international scrutiny i never watched 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 because you know based on i know one of the and then you have the right back around the issues of a kid and you've got the. you know there are those like i knew i was saying 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 catalyst activism has evolved in syria for me i feel that my voice goes

further down back then it started with stating an opinion is going to jail it hitting bad and no one would even know about it that has changed now that people are more politically aware and sane 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 for a 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. because you can. get. your political career also he and 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. that's our cilia r.t.

damascus. yes folks on libya know their civil war still raging the national transitional government's faced new resistance in tripoli to this week for the first time since the capital was taken in august several were injured in gun battles with gadhafi supporters are for attempt to raise the ousted regime's green flag on a city rooftop over the town of sirte meantime duffey loyalists mounted a fierce counterattack forcing back revolutionary fighters have been trying to take control of the colonel's keystroke hold for a month now the n.t. says it will only declare full liberation once falls to investigative journalist simon unsettled me but pursuing that goldens ignoring the high human cost. i think what's 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. you know 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 a military attack so 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 this of all 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 the kind of reemergence of the double standards what's happening in libya now is 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 a 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 allow the civilians to flee and they're not and they're not doing that. well remember we call our top stories our website as well is what else we got for you without heat or cons and i

president obama sending troops into central africa now but this. concerned that america's growing global military presence is turning into military pressure. that you can exclusively on our website come to mortal enemies of russia's last czar under the icon not all of the communist revolution seem to put their differences aside to mark their friendship with a drink but police didn't appreciate them and rewrite history why again find out. recent raids by ear 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 a desperate act pressure russia to sell gas on better terms but is europe correspondent daniel bushell picks up the story. this even still to be one reason behind the e.u. raids on gazprom offices at the beginning of october european energy giants electricity to france and b a s if i said to 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 success they've all got to thrown miles in the commission of law for example it's a bad project in a book but why would the e.u. want these raids to spook russia a reliable supplier to renegotiate any contracts crosses 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 points 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 another company when it is to europe but that company must make a profit on the deal and that will immediately raise the price that eighty homes pay families say they use being influenced by several anti russian hardliners many

of whom are upset about missing out on the opportunity to take part in big energy ventures especially baltic nations which the north stream point five policies seeking russian gas straight to germany instead of complaining gas exposed say they could have moved on the world with russia. if the way it is and how russian inertia will undermine their society politically and economically at the moment little one is pursuing a one day national policy that given the problems in the euro zone will leave it regretting it did not pursue a more constructive policy with russia will gear up for example signed a new deal with gazprom which will generate income and contribute to canonic stability emotions that are also running high. some european politicians who want to end their reliance on russian gas despite efforts by moscow to diversify roots.

here into thing we all think of all. we don't need all. fortunately. there are war boots 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 bush will see brussels. nato forces in kosovo have delivered an ultimatum to ethnic serbs manning the barricades at a border crossing the breakaway regions north they've been ordered to remove the obstructions on monday or peacekeepers will step in and clear the road themselves the serbs complain of me giving too little time to comply and roadblocks so they would place for nearly a month set up in protest of nato and e.u. forces taking over the checkpoint and allowing costs of and customs officers to be placed in there and you may recall late last month some of the barricades were bald those that resulted in violence with peacekeepers then using rubber bullets and

tear gas against the serbs made his actions would be illegitimate if it weren't for the fact they also serve the interests of course of officials too says nicola tenacity spoke to me he's a political analyst for the magazine new serbian political thought. legally they do have a right to as they see. it in for its freedom of movement on the whole territory of cost of war but the problem is with legitimacy because the serbian authorities avoid certain possible do recognize needles right and right to enforce the law and possible but the problem is that most need a country they need to recognise is the independence of possible visual and is currently trying to implement bigger laws and to establish their own checkpoint the border between northern parts of more intently and that is what is an acceptable for the third for in itself and should it be only nato convoys there

will be no problem whatsoever the problem in carrying themselves meaning an official from the possible government. the trial of russian business victor boot accused of illegal arms sales got underway in new york just last week he was arrested in thailand three years ago extradited to the u.s. last year if found guilty of trafficking weapons he could face life behind bars investigative journalist daniel is still and believes america's determined to get a guilty verdict and things proof has little chance of a fair trial. the united states government is going to a very very hard time proving that exhibit is guilty and there is a girl very difficult time making the label of merchant of death stick in a court of law and unfortunately for the united states government there is very little verifiable evidence they will be able to present most of us here say most of what he should say it's he said she said about things which no one has ever seen and this is something that again unfortunately the big team representing him right now was no is not in the position to deal with because they're simply not up to scratch he's not going to get a fair trial he's in the united states. the evidence how can we get

a fair trial where the united states government is not everything in their power to bring him to the united states up to two years in thailand another put him on trial in the united states only tell baldwin and embarrass the united states i don't think it's going to happen. but as kevin already just a few minutes tonight on our t.v. take you to well guarded nature reserve in the south of russia that's coming up but a sight seeing then after a recap of our top stories just a few minutes. from

the days of the manhattan project in one thousand forty two the university of california has been involved through the science of its provision of scientists and their relationship to the versity you see since day one has been in charge of researching designing and testing nuclear weapons and to some extent producing
