one pm in moscow i'm not translated to have you with us here on our t.v. our top story greece is closed for forty eight hours flights grounded schools shops and factories all quiet as the country endures what's being called the mother of all strikes arguably the biggest protests since financial turmoil that's crippling the country began but more cuts could be coming archie sara furthur has more from athens. he can see behind me already the numbers. building the beginning of the force here our general strike and already lots and lots of people turning out because the riot police in front of the parliament building are a make or break week for greece that's been described we've got the upcoming vote in parliament even more austerity measures to be passed to try and meet the demands

of the foreign investors and we can the leaders will be meeting in brussels to decide really what on earth they going to do about this debt crisis that we've been hearing this fall we had the strike at the beginning of the month was a public sector strike even more people expected today and i don't think that the moment you could cover it already lining the street the rubbish collectors have been on strike people instantly reached their breaking point and who's really now for a much more social response because the people here said the sort of tax based measures that have been used by the government and e.u. leaders tried plugging this massive deficit in the budget simply isn't having the desired effect and you can see the anger on the street the people who really have had enough of this is very very tricky this really what you feel the moment is a very tense the iceberg because was actually carrying on in this country is that they're suffering from crippling unemployment this friend from this he's types like

most people in greece have had their wages cut some by thirty percent to very difficult times and then indeed people here said you know what you have people as part of the problem the not is part of the solution then there's simply not going to be able to reach an answer so what the e.u. leaders are discussing their financial rescue plans and fiscal policies really they're going to be want to be considering how they get the people in these countries back onside and how to regain growth in this country such a difficult time. 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 income is 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 no matter of belt tightening is going to change or not what's going to happen is we're going to have to take what we call in bank in terms of haircut all the debt and ultimately it's not going to be cutting of the hair a lot of people are going to be left somewhat bald. not that there's anything wrong with that and as long as you got the right time to head for us head for it well tell us what you think is greece's way out of the problem that. you dot com cast your say almost advisor to integrate an oil rich country of the sarcastic answer usually getting the top one just over a third say it's up to the greeks to work harder and spend less ten percent think

greece needs to go cap in hand to the un plead for help in a small few back the idea of a country selling or mortgaging part of its territory to escape economic collapse log on to our if you don't have your say. anti wall street activists turning some of their anger against the n.y.p.d. over what they see as excessive use of force hundreds of people arrested during a five week long protest with police using pepper spray at rallies but despite this the root cause of the campaign still winning over hard pressed americans archie's lucy caught in the explains the 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 you who aren't bears supports the movements of identify with the frustrations the major frustrations that the demonstrators have expressed mainly what they see as the eruption in wall street and in washington and undue influence by wall street over politicians and the

political system in washington d.c. the nation's capital now we have seen. something. heavy handed response is by the police right in. the rest of the weekend in times square as well as arrests spread across the country for example in seattle a total of nine protesters were arrested after failing to evacuate the camp after being asked by police to do so and chicago about one hundred seventy five protesters were arrested in arizona more than one hundred protesters were arrested after demonstrating and. 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 while the movement does not seem to show any signs of giving up steam in fact that there's a new global sales action that's being planned for up to over 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 improved the protesters recently announced that they have earned some three hundred thousand dollars from donations both money that's dropped in box 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. parties lucy koppel reporting she was reporting from the thick of protests in new york since they started last month and beating her twitter feed regularly as events unfold so you can follow online. on arresting golfing syria descending into all out conflict with growing violence claiming lives on both sides eleven soldiers killed by army defectors this week shortly after view when warned there is a high chance of opposition forces taking up arms of the crackdown on protestors

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 in on march twenty three. all foreign media acknowledged that too many of the army and national guards have lost their lives so how can some people see that on good state exist he could knapp's these civilians and only members like my son how did all the members kill other members this is impossible the media that says it is plain lying. and therein lies the problem the moment. there is confusion about what's really going on information is taken by each side and used to defend their position so if you're hearing the arguments from one side you'll likely believe that i mean this atmosphere of confusion and misinformation because for reforms continues what's a lingering very for this is another question whenever a new legislation is made we see an escalation of the security situation in syria

by the guns but we cannot. put blame on the government as i mean some circles trying to propagate the voices for both sides are calling for tylox sit down and the syrians themselves agree that if this crisis is to be resolved that foundation of trust should be first laid out but with each correct order syria will spoil the rising already widening political gap. does or so yards damascus. well maybe calls for talks in syria but across in libya the words were much harsher especially from washington. wanted dead or alive and apparently the sooner the better secretary of state hillary clinton says the u.s. is keen to see it are captured or killed more on that coming up first. in economic news russia and the cia or something the next level of economic integration all but three countries of this commonwealth have agreed to create of

north korea it is meant to come and see the russian nuclear think egypt potential so i think that the american politicians and the people who work with the president of the united states now seek an option the want to propose something to russia in order to satisfy the russian concerns about the recent declarations are a good step forward but this is not enough. nato forces have given serbs another twenty four hours to work out a compromise over the road barricades in northern kosovo if not they say they will act they were built in protest of kosovo police and customs officials being placed at two border crossings with serbia but the situation's at a standstill with two previous nato deadlines to dismantle passing with no action from either side or he's moree if it ocean reports. the deadline set by nato led peacekeepers in kosovo known as k four has already been postponed twice following

level role ahead of today's meeting between all the parties been involved in this conflict we have been able to speak to the deputy surgeon 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. around that. we can bring the media. because. you know. no one can say for sure at this moment where the end of this is new who could take him today but expectations and hopes are really high. or if the notion of their reporting from kosovo well the world at your fingertips at r.t. dot com or on talk of the stories you might not find other places including an alarming trend of known as a drunk or endangering the health and education of some u.s. college girls who skipped meals not to save money but to get drugs more easily and

which is actually amazing because gadhafi was doing everything that the west wanted in fact he was wasting his people's money on investments in a soccer team in italy a financial times those are not in the interest of the libyan people but if i don't know what the lesson is supposed to be for other leaders around the world and what more can you do for the west than gadhafi was doing fine don't forget who hillary clinton is in two thousand and eight if you go to youtube and type in hillary clinton though glitterati run as a candidate for president she threatened to kill every man woman and child turn he runs into a wastebasket or in a straight. america's frosty relations with iran is what crosstalk it's to grips with an eleven thirty g.m.t. as officials rally to prove tehran was plotting to kill the saudi ambassador to the u.s. not everyone is convinced here's what's coming up. this person who seems to be mad goes to mexico he said he says to a drug runner that i have

a cousin who is a high general in the running an armed forces and then a wire one hundred thousand dollars i mean even if the people who made up this story had read a couple of spy novels they know that they don't wire money for it especially from iran and to mexican drug dealers and they would do it in cash then he when he is in prison he calls this supposedly iranian general and he tells them on the phone to carry out the operation i mean come on on the phone a senior iranian command on an international line to the united states to the good point about reading spy novels i think that goes both ways i think if the claim that mr marandi seems to be making the obama administration simply invented this plot out of whole cloth well you know they've read spy novels too so you might think they would do a better more convincing job if they were just simply trying to snow the rest of the world. to another
