9:02 am
a number of people rallied together to march to times square where they had converged to. sort of in some memory shine and call it bury it with some of the other events that were taking place across the hall part of the occupy wall street movements now we've seen a lot of ten suspects and offs but then why did new york city police department were out this weekend protesters had peacefully marched to times square where the intentions of people that i was a part of was actually trapped by these barricades hands there and held for several hours or i'm able to move left or right or to get out we saw these officers on horseback nearly each round ball a number of protesters least officers on scooters had a ran over some protesters there was a total of ninety two are arrests as part of the occupy wall street gatherings over this weekend here in new york i witnessed several of them in one instance when we
9:03 am
were in times square a number of protesters were sitting peacefully they were taken by the police clamped violently onto the ground and up and driven away we saw a number of protesters arrested violently while they were more changing times where we were trying to film what was going on and despite us saying that we are press or simply here to cover the events they have pushed us back with but on second hand they used me as a high tech strobe lights to blinds the cameras that were unable to film any. serious visuals of what was actually going on which was unprecedented in my experience here to date meanwhile while these events were happening here i mean or the protests continue to grow across the country here in the united states and chicago there is a several thousand protesters that have turned out about one hundred forty. were arrested by police there's also arrests in other parts of this time street all in the back when it's hideous or wrote how it else remains to be seen but we'll be
9:04 am
bringing it for you here at our. reporting right that protesters across the u.s. are also voicing their anger at the government for putting corporate concerns about those of citizens they say this point is being missed in much of the country's mainstream media so activists are getting creative to have the voices heard as aunties guy nature can explain. their discontent loud. and graphic thousands of americans have resorted to banners and t. shirts to get their message across that a frustration with what they see is the government acting on behalf of big corporations rather than the people message which the protesters say their media failed to deliver the media feels like these kinds of events don't deserve coverage sometimes all you get when you do something this is a photograph and so it's very important for the message to be seen those simple
9:05 am
oftentimes handwritten messages that people carry on their chests have often been subject to mockery what is the sign of occupy wall street brother that most of the five of our the people that i would talk of what is that i mean. it seems the only fault of these people is presented in the american media is that they don't all have a degree in economics and finances and are not able to explain their grievances in professional economists terms various groups emboldened to cheer the end of the greatest system known to man and replace it with what who cares let's nap the protests on wall street or mindless when you ask people and wall street what they want they don't know x. that took place over the last thirty years with regards to national debt and debt. in the system generally all of these things are very complicated and difficult for the general public to understand and people in the media and people on wall street
9:06 am
like it that way because if you don't understand it then you know you don't get what happened but the american people know that they've got a host they've lost their jobs they've seen them all short of china they've lost their houses they saw a huge run up in all prices that are collapsed and people are saying you know what i know that i've got all this but i don't know how i got screwed but americans who took to the streets are looking to express themselves by means other than motivational p. shirts and banners which as graphic as they are hardly convey the full message of the movement the demonstrators are spreading their own paper now called occupy wall street journal which details what they're unhappy with and makes it clear that they're not rooting for one particular party it also warns against quote political machines and their p.r. slick's taking control of the protest message one word to describe these ongoing protests from the beginning is frustration and there are two shirts on cardboard on
9:07 am
the backs of pizza boxes as we've seen people express that prostration that is the movement grows the ways of getting their message across also much more and as people here say this paper is just the beginning i'm going to check our reporting from washington are to. forget that you can always attract the developments in the anti street protests on our website dot com you can also find more first hand reports from lower manhattan expert opinion as you can see here a lot of big timeline of events right here of course of the main page odyssey and talk before you twenty four seven. factors like rolling poverty into. angers by the countries waiting for hours cutting jobs and social spending people across the globe rise up against their government's economic policies follow the worldwide action against austerity knives
9:08 am
on our team. we are coming to you live from the heart of moscow now nato forces have extended the deadline for ethnic serbs in northern kosovo to remove their barricades near the border with serbia they had earlier given them until monday to clear the roads all the peacekeepers warned they would do it themselves these refineries at the border following developments for us. the clock is ticking for the serbs living in costs of a on tuesday the ultimatum passes for them to remove the very case they erected on the main roads of this serve dominated north protesting against christian as attempt to set up customs in this area and to prevent costs of and police officers and custom officers and officials from reaching the checkpoints at the northern border with serbia but we haven't seen any sign of the removal walk so far the roadblocks are still there where they've been for the last two months and tensions are boiling as people are getting more and more exhausted and aggressive we are now
9:09 am
in the city of maturity in kosovo it's divided into serbian north and the old ben and south than the tories bridge over the eva river that you can see behind me where the separation line lies is currently blocked on the serbian side i hope you can see pas of stones and rubble behind me. vehicles coming from the old van inside cannot pass here the deadline to take away these very case as well as others there are around ten of them erected throughout kosovo was announced by the cost of zero peacekeeping force known as the k for such a day it's come under general druce met with the mayors of four northern coast of towns claiming k. four need these roads as it needs access for its troops in the north it's currently transporting its soldiers and delivering food fuel and water for those of them stationed in the northern part of kosovo by helicopters which is a very expensive means of travel last months old. the barricades war bulldozed
9:10 am
resulted in violence peacekeepers used rubber bullets and tear gas against the serbs since kosovo unilaterally proclaimed its independence from serbia in two thousand and eight relations between serbs and albanians live in this region have been tough but following this recent dispute in the northern part of kosovo mostly populated by serbs relations between the two ethnic groups have only deteriorated and deteriorated dramatically the circumstances are right now very complicated and what may look peaceful for now could explode at any time. it is more of an option right there while you can get involved with this story on our website we are looking for your thoughts on who's to blame for the conflict on cause of those northern border bringing up the numbers right now here your votes are stacking up but also you dot com over half of you put the blame on washington for boosting cause of those independents twenty two percent accuse belgrade of not protecting
9:11 am
cost of our service ten percent say the e.u. can't keep things in order and five percent think christina allows the prosecution of sobs that your voice in the balance on the home page at r.t. dot com. and a next hour we talk to service chief negotiator with cause of a and he believes the ethnic specifics of the north of cause of i mean a special scenario must be implemented to resolve the tension. right now with christina did was a one sided attempt to change the reality on the ground which is against all the agreements before and it's against security council resolution for all forty four it's against the mandate of you looks to go six points point by bank you move which was supported by the security council so what they did is actually they try to wait make a one sided step so waited they can see to protect me and now we should. listen.
9:12 am
to the serbs who live here in the north because the north has its own reality it's really specific it's exclusive in many ways so people here are ethnically moderate and they are united in their leaning toward serbia. and you know we did there are differences there are other parts of the so we should have a new. attempt to resolve the situation in those gates and to find agreement how those gates will look like who will actually have a chance to manage those gates and by what rules. in about ten minutes time it's the business here on r.t. but for now arab league countries of the. on the syrian government to start negotiations with the country's opposition the group also decided not to suspend syria as a member follows a promise from president assad to draft a new constitution within four months and allow a multi-party parliament key demands of the protesters but as i see it as our syria
9:13 am
found out for us and damascus for some this just isn't enough. cause for a change in the forms seven months in. one of those calls is to create a real pluralistic political system since nine hundred seventy two politics was only open to parties that acknowledge the supreme rule of the ruling baath party enjoy this coalition analogous for bashar al assad issued a decree passing the multi-party law. for. this is the moment he has been waiting for the chance to add a new voice to syrian politics. we're applying to become a political party so we can be more effective we can influence parliament access and help create laws defend them and this is the new law allows parties that are open to all syrians regardless of ethnicity and religion and are not affiliated with organizations outside of syria but the newly formed internal opposition the
9:14 am
national coordination council or m.c.c. will not participate it's not about us not wanting to participate it's about them not being serious about these reforms there's no environment for dialogue the violence must stop political prisoners must be released even though they passed the multi-party law and will draw up a new constitution they do all that under their conditions and it recent deadly clashes in cities like oliver stone and it led the president appointed a committee to draft a new constitution within four months one sticking point is article eight which states that we bath party is the leader of the state and society the opposition argues this undermines the essence of multiple parties you know some some people in the in the party leader. ship had come to the conclusion that article eight and more dangerous articles in the constitution that articulate are going to be under review we should have almost a new constitution where the new multi-party system would be achieved without any
9:15 am
difficulty perhaps change is coming to syria but the street protests and violent clashes have been dragging on for months some value it will not stop until bashar al assad steps down so is it simply too little too late. meetings like this happen on a daily basis from those in the national developmental party now they are in the final stages of the out with the process of becoming an official little party here in syria well after a decade of listening to promises of reform they now feel that this could be real let me set the thing for us are still you are to damascus syria. as we come to you live from moscow we have a up to date story is comment on videos on our website just a few of the items for you there right now of course twenty four seven have a look here this club was full of hot young things at the place became one huge sauna after being swamped with boiling water while almost five hundred people were inside. and deadly game follow the story of
9:16 am
a russian double agent who played ball with british intelligence and new details of alexander litvinenko death are emerging. israel's foreign minister has lashed out at international policy towards the middle east peace process this in an interview to a russian news agency lieberman said israel's relations with the palestinians are a matter for the two sides in the middle east quartet made up made up of russia at the u.s. the e.u. and the un are just not needed to discuss that and more i'm joined now by larry duff a journalist and blogger joining us live from tel aviv i thank you for coming on the program today so is lieberman of right can be israeli palestinian conflict be
9:17 am
resolved with no international mediation. no zawia slee wrong it cannot be resolved without international mediation the problem is that it can't be resolved right now it can't be resolved with international mediation either because international mediation is finally taking its lead from the united states and the united states is taking its lead from from pre-election public opinion which is very palestinian anti muslim very pro israel because israel is against stands against the same enemy that america has and so america is beholden to this exaggeratedly pro israel and the palestinian attitude and we're america goes the quartet goes so international mediation at least until the election in america is pointless and it can't help. but to think that israel can solve the problem with out international mediation is also impossible but it's too
9:18 am
lieberman's liking because lieberman does not want to solve the problem he doesn't want any interference but when you want when you want when you talk about leaving as it is not wanting not one of the problem to be solved i mean there's been no major breakthrough in the mideast peace process in years israel continues to build settlements on the west bank and how much is israel even bothered about finding a solution. not very much that very much and lieberman stands with the with the general consensus i think i think most israelis would like to obviously would like to solve the problem but very few israelis are ready to pay the price it's necessary as far as i'm concerned as far as most of the world is concerned and certainly lieberman is certainly lieberman is to the right of the israeli consensus of all the israelis the lieberman is one of the least willing to make a deal so let's let's turn our attention now from the mideast. conflict shall we say to that of some of the comments from lieberman lieberman saying that israel
9:19 am
would not rule out military strikes against iran do you think this could happen in the near future. i think i think it's possible. you know i'm not ready to say i think it's going to happen i think it's not going to happen i think unfortunately again because of the weakness of the obama administration against netanyahu and israel and because of obama being constricted running into an election i think that israel has a somewhat freer hand to do what it wants to do. whether you know when the moment of truth if and when the moment of truth comes and israel has decided to either strike iran's nuclear facilities or let iran go nuclear at that point it's very difficult to say i hope i certainly hope that israel will not strike iran i think lieberman obviously would like israel to strike iran the good thing if there's
9:20 am
a saving grace or i don't think that lieberman really has that much influence in the the councils of power in the high level decision making is what you may know he doesn't have that much good a following the council officers are making but he certainly is a high leading member here of the government that lieberman is calling for iran to be fully isolated and he wants more sanctions imposed on the country just days ago actually we saw this happening with the obama administration saying that iran must pay for this alleged assassination plot to go off with the saudi ambassador in the u.s. but bearing in mind what we saw with the our spring over much of this year do you think is is israel trying to stir things up in iraq to force an uprising that. i think to force an opera i think that's that's that's a bridge too far i don't know that anybody can force an uprising i think a lot i think i think most of the world myself included would love to see an uprising in iraq against did the job the us certainly always really is all or all
9:21 am
americans all westerners most of the people on earth would like to see that be done i don't think anybody thinks it can be done when israel tried to do it that's a huge project i think that i don't know i wouldn't i don't see that israel is is has some hidden have you tried to leave the prize reform as an uprising get stuck with you it's too big a job all right. it's obvious or that's all the time we have for today but thank you very much for coming on the program. parents of children in russia who have a debilitating genetic disorder have another battle to fight out of access to the treatment that can prolong their young ones lives as also as oksana boyko reports that medicine is available in russia but just not for everyone. for most parents there is hardly anything more sickening than seeing their child in a hospital back but not for exxon an average drop that runs through these i.v. line adds to her hold that her son will have a chance in life very few people believed it would find the money somewhere deep
