the future coverage. of the. fed up and shutting down greeks start a major all out strike possibly the biggest in years as leaders are prepared to vote on even more crippling cuts. syria's two way violence with soldiers reportedly turning on each other and being killed during anti-government protests fueling fears of a full out civil war and. a third deadline by nato ordering serbs to remove their border blockades in northern kosovo was the standoff situations batted back to politicians to end the impasse. and robinson who rescued a man found alive and alone out island in russia's north after more than a fortnight with barely any food or water is story of survival coming up.

eleven am in moscow i match reza good to have you with us here on r t my top story greece is closed for forty eight hours flights crowded schools shops factor result why it is the country and what's being called the mother of all strikes arguably the biggest protests since the financial turmoil that's crippling the country began but parliament still considering squeezing spending even further to stave off national bankruptcy arky sarfarosh has more for about things. well it's been described as a make or break we. thought it our general strike is going to begin today that the head of the parliament should face on thursday. pull its way even more stairs measures and the summit on the weekend worry you need is going to watching close to

decisive action to the continuing a crisis now at the moment here in athens people garbage out every single street corner. and over two weeks a strike action that's continuing and we saw the beginning of the month they had the public sector strike and today expect very similar thing to what we saw then but even think it is even more people are going to be turning out hundreds of thousands of people expected to take part in the action over the concerns are we going to see more of the tear gas in the final clashes between protesters and the right place at very difficult situation at the moment indeed for the country they could really between this until position from the people but also a lot of pressure from the foreign investors to really get to grips with it now this thing we've got told this possible default for greece and haircut for me but again they're still trying to push through these federal stars he may just to get that next tranche of money be eight billion euros

a lot of people abroad nothing that has to be dry good money after bad and people live here the people in greece will be turning out stay everything that they've reached breaking point with these severe austerity measures but i'm sure i will as patrick young says the situation in greece is so dire more belt tightening won't help shed its debt. i think we're actually coming close to the end because ultimately the greek economy is in such a mess there's simply nothing can be done i mean what we're trying to do here is take the world's most obese person and give them a crash diet so they're going to turn into i don't know cindy crawford by the end of next year i mean it's simply impossible you can't do that the greek railways for example i mean the salary bill something like one hundred million euros the total amount of pain companies like one hundred million euros in total it costs about seven hundred million euros i believe to run the railway system you cannot possibly

manage to change those numbers in such a short period of time the simple truth is greece has too much debt and no matter of belt tightening is going to change it now what's going to happen used we're going to have to take what we call in terms of a haircut elma debt and ultimately it's not going to be cutting of their hair a lot of people are going to be left somewhat balls. on how the greek protests progress there are that there are to include in the wider ramifications business i think with the meter. and after an unconfirmed media report that the e.u. does a bailout fund may be significantly expanded the markets are up russia is no exception in the my six is a point nine percent of the earth the earth point two percent one the markets in leaders business news in around twenty. first aired are wall street activists turning some of their anger against the n.y.p.d. over what they see as an excessive use of force hundreds of people arrested during the five week long protests with police using pepper spray at rallies despite this

the root cause of a campaign still winning over hard pressed americans are losing capital. but popularity of the movement does seem to be growing not just among the demonstrators but with the regular americans as well in fact here in new york a recent poll that came out showed that seven in ten new yorkers support the movements of identify with the big frustrations the major frustrations that the demonstrators have expressed mainly would be c s corruption in wall street and in washington undue influence by wall street over politicians and the political system in washington d.c. the nation's capital now we have sued unfortunately and we see some very unkind and heavy handed responses by the police department here in the new york city area we've seen of course the mass arrests over the weekend in times square as well as arrests that have spread across the country for example in seattle a total of nine protesters were arrested after failing to evacuate the campus after

being asked by police to do so in chicago about one hundred seventy five protesters were arrested in arizona more than one hundred protesters were arrested after demonstrating and what they say is a nonviolent civil disobedience tactic we do know that several of the officers implicated on video with some of the violent tactics are being investigated now the movement does not seem to show any signs of it giving up steam in fact that there's a new global day of action that's being planned for october twenty ninth not just here in new york but all across the country as well as across the world in different cities worldwide we also know that the financial situation for the protesters here in new york at least has proved protesters recently announced that they have earned some three hundred thousand dollars from donations both money that's dropped and buckets throughout the park as well as to online donations what they will do with that money remains to be seen but they are getting more and more

support it appears at least by the american people. or she's losing capital reporting from new york she has been reporting from a figure of protests since the start of last month and she's of beating her twitter feed as events unfold and you can follow that are lies. the unarrest in golfing syria is descending into all out conflict with the growing violence claiming lives on both sides eleven soldiers were killed by army defectors this week shortly after the un warned there is a high chance of opposition forces taking up arms if the crackdown on protestors continues or his tests are so your has more from damascus. this is the office of the trader it's one of the messages on the wall he's real and the u.s. were able to buy you with a thousand dollars says another. this is where several opposition leaders work like i've been as is i was hired and had been a vocal critic and had spent fourteen years in jail there that time he recalls like many opposition members he thinks there's really very little room for me

conciliation under the current environment. because troops honestly with whom. your voice is and the regime i think you know hold. he insists peaceful protesters were forced to respond to attacks by security forces but the acknowledges that now it's simply not black and white responsibility for the violence goes both ways. and so this killing civilians some civilians killing. soldiers they are son was one of the first soldiers killed since protests began in the country he was killed on march twenty three. or four in music knowledge that too many of the army and national guards have lost their lives so how can some people see this on groups to exist in. the

civilians and business like my son how could only members kill other members this is impossible they needed it says it is plain lying. and very lies the problem the moment. there is confusion of what's really going on information estate invite each side and used to defend their position so if you're hearing the arguments for one second you'll likely believe them amid this atmosphere of confusion and misinformation and push for reform school students what's in there in very forms this is another question whenever a new legislation is made we see an escalation of the security situation in syria because the guns. we cannot absolutely blame on the government as i mean some circles trying to propagate the voices from both sides are calling for dialogue to sit down and the syrians themselves agree that if this crisis is to be resolved that foundation of trust to be first laid out with each threat or do

syria will spoil the rising over the widening political gap. those are still your r.t. and ask us. well there may be calls for talks in syria but across in libya the words are much tougher as well. from washington wanted dead or alive and apparently the sooner the better hillary clinton says the u.s. is keen to see captured or killed more on that just ahead. but first nato forces have given the serbs another twenty four hours to work out a compromise over the road barricades in northern kosovo if knocked not they will act they were built in protest at kosovo police and customs officials being placed at border crossings with serbia but the situation is at a standstill with two previous and nato deadlines to dismantle passing with no action from either side or keys maria condition has more. it's been a long time since this road behind me lead in from the southern part of kosovo to the northern border with serbia as well as some other major routes in the region at

least ten were barricaded like this with piles of stones and concrete and rubble but wednesday is expected by many here on the ground to be the day when this long running dispute with finally gets moving the deadline starts why peacekeepers in cost of a known as a four has already been pressed poland twice following demands from the serbian communities leaders here in costs about the cost of an serbs the ethnic minority in the mostly old banyan populated costly tasm against the badly in custom and police officers. in the northern part of possible just days ago when some of the barricades were taken way possible people were injured how do those meetings between all the parties be involved in this conflict we have been able to speak to the serbian minister for cross over here and he told us he that everybody is looking for compromise right now but at the same time no one is ready to be healed

and people get it right. but. we can't really be. because. you know. no one can say for sure at this moment where the end of this is new group taking today with expectations and hopes are really high. the world's at your fingertips at r.t. dot com we're on top of the stories you might not find elsewhere a snub for ukraine's president he's being locked out for a lot of the castle's there's a brussels after the controversial jailing of the country's former prime minister plus. the star wars security plan for russia and nato to join to develop the global guard not just against missiles but asteroids and other possible threats from space the idea outlined in our t.v. dot com.
