the focus of cody park over the weekend so a lot of protests are still that this is perhaps some sort of way for the city to freeze them out to try to dampen their resolve to remain here downtown new york security part was a force the scene of the original occupy wall street demonstration which started on september seventeenth and since then it's expired inspired similar movements all across the country in the world in fact from tokyo to chill wrong so as protesters continue to turn out into the streets protesting against economic inequality and what they say is corporate greed now one of the chances you frequently hear here in the united states is we are the ninety nine percent a reference to the ninety nine percent of americans who are not in the same sort of economic beneficiary condition at the top one percent earners now this is a reference in fact to one of the recent economic reports that came out here in the u.s. citing that the top one percent of earners in the united states one adjusted for inflation and for. doctors actually saw their earnings for

a negative stereotype thirty year old gary briggs has served in the national guard for the last two years he's spending his short be cation at occupy wall street guys marines national guard maybe. more the better the guardsman is outraged at the fact that marines are getting attacked at home but there should be fired up by. others here believe it won't be long. however until the police join the crowds instead of restricting them. protesting they're going to work twenty years and they're going to see that. zero but even if this doesn't happen the movement won't be scared away any time soon with marines and other military vets pledging to have the protesters back on the work that they are going to. let. everybody has banded together and the rope that's being created here. an associate r t v or. well so the come the

despite the threats of violence members of the occupy wall street movement fees to give up on their dreams. right now these are impossible in america for a lot of people these people need to believe that dreams must continue to invest or how often is to gauge his opinion from the heart of the big apple. or one of the world's leading economies proposes an original approach to bolstering growth. to germany where the leading national party wants all immigrants to leave and it seems the extreme views attracting growing support in the country but opponents say the movement has given rise to violent crime and causing a dangerous rift within society. what do these two very different pieces of music have in common they're both

performed in germany and they increasingly represent clashing forms of society here we want. the immigrants german just the illegal ones yes and after the other day i was told that's the view of the national democratic party or n.p. d. here in germany they've supported many concerts attended by right wing supporters but their opponents argue they promote hatred they achieved in some regions in east germany there are no immigrants. it's not because of economy queens but it's because nobody wants rudy to go there because it's they're always threatened one anti nazi group recently managed to do right wing concert goers into wearing their bogus t. shirts when they were washed the rightwing slogan dissolved to reveal a message urging the wearer to leave their near nazi group. however german police

intelligence estimates that there are eight to ten thousand hard core militant neo nazis in the country those behind the stunt say that those numbers mean germany's problem is in the top three in europe every year in germany statistically you have about fifteen thousand twenty thousand hate crimes. of them about eight hundred violent crimes so that's also been in the top five from europe when we put accusations of inciting hatred to the n.p.t. they were unmoved germany is the state of the germans but if you're today you have parts in berlin with more than thirty forty percent of foreign us when it's just too much germany has large. ethnic minority populations from turkey the arab world and beyond many families now have second and third generation members with german citizenship and they're gaining political representatives who defy

anyone who says they don't belong here then pedia or other parties. could not say to me or take to this part of me to be german whereas most political parties are now finding candidates from the ethnic groups they represent those on the right are posting the banners and slogans with the message go back where you came from with such a political divide the potential is there for german politics to become a lot nastier it's not immediately obvious that this fruit and vegetable store is at the edge of the turkish district in berlin it looks much like a fruit and vegetable stall elsewhere in the city but the question being fought over in political debates is will this region become a route for cultural exchange or a border between essentially foreign territories tom watson r.t. . syrian protesters have called for a no fly zone over the country and aerial support from nato warplanes it comes out

of the alliance announced the end of its campaign in libya the arab league has denounced civilian casualties in syria where thirty seven people reportedly killed in friday's anti-government rallies where brian becker from the u.s. based antiwar coalition he's the demands of the opposition could spark a disastrous conflict. we're using the same lingo the same scenario the syrian opposition is borrowing a page from the playbook for libya they know that they can come to power only with the advance with the support would be intervention through multiple means of the nato powers of the western powers and i think what we can tell the syrian people is look at what happened in libya the issue of a no fly zone sounds like go a way to defend civilians it's really a way to begin the war to begin military operations against the syrian air force or air defenses and i think the first step and this is the plan of the obama administration is not direct military intervention but to promote

a civil war inside of syria i think they realize that the syrian government is substantially stronger militarily and within the arab world as compared to khadafi but they can use the human beings who have grievances valid or not to be the human materiel for a civil war and i think the u.s. government officials are signaling the syrian opposition and the syrian president that they should learn the lesson of libya is a clear message begin the civil war they want to weaken syria first as a as a prelude to a more direct intervention for regime change but for more in-depth coverage of exclusive footage you can visit r.t. dot com has a look at what's on the line if you right now. details of his dealings with western leaders could come to light sun also he or to the plans to surrender to the international criminal court. russian supermodel and children's for that sophist

never tells the true story of a journey. back to health hospital becoming part of the family u.s. . one of the twentieth century's most notorious and get rich quick schemes is back. after going bankrupt seventeen years ago and resulting in a prison term for its founder the ukrainian based m m m financial pyramid has resurfaced and despite the project once wiping out the savings of millions there are still plenty of investors willing to open their wallets once again parties let's hear ourselves he has the story of. the twenty a live in russian hit movie the pyramid depicts a robin hood of the ninety nine gees a businessman who promises well for people and confronts the oligarchs. the real story behind the split was a sad episode in russia supposed soviet history the financial pyramid called attracted millions vowing to multiply their investment many times in the end it

went bust up to fifteen million people lost their life savings really good hope i don't feel like i'm a sinner what about m.m.m. ninety four it was undermined by the government so i knew m.m.m. emerged with virtually unlimited resources absolutely i'm controlled so the situation was not acceptable and everything was done to eliminate it said a game of already the driving force behind the m.m. movement spent five years in prison for fraud but now the man often called the russian bernie madoff is back seventeen years since his financial pyramid had walked the post soviet space is the back with another financial scheme and whilst in what he could hardly find any commercial enterprise the streets of ukraine cities have been literally flooded with calls to join in with the m.m.m. twenty eleven. we get to do more is the slogan of the new complain at mit's it is another pyramid and is

a risky venture but still promises people that they will make money. there is a virtual currency called dollars which constantly goes up in price from twenty to sixty percent a month this price only i can sit some individuals exchange money between themselves without any obligations got into some conditions it is a fundamental point when there is no legal entity new joint account new office in other words everything is shared between millions of private accounts it means no one can put an end to it. financial experts in ukraine see little surprise in mahdi's latest scheme given the rough patch the country is going through the national bank is like in order to not allow the depreciation of national currency is like introducing in your restrictions and a lot of people on. government machine the bureaucracy is again something like a minister told the press in the financial markets and people looking for an exit

claims his actions are legal ukraine's politicians disagree the ruling party wants current laws tightened to block a man from making off with vulnerable people's nasty eggs in. two thousand and eleven there's a provision in financial services and requires a license providing financial services without a license is a criminal offense. m.m.m. twenty eleven already has one point five million investors and counting. again convinced it is a road to riches try telling that to the many millions of victims left with nothing and still reeling from his previous ponzi. scheme r.t. reporting from here in ukraine. europe's debt troubles may have taken center stage this week but a crisis of a similar scale could also be unfolding in japan the country's currency the yen hit a record high hampering imports and their incomes that's why the third largest economy in the world asparagus self on the brink of

a major financial crisis. in many ways the japanese economy is like this fish caught dried out frozen and now having great chunks of value sliced clean i'll. take the seafood industry itself japanese sushi shops who rake in about seventeen billion dollars annually with hungry customers consuming nine million tonnes of sisterhood along the way. it's an addiction repeated all around the world but it's not helping the main exporter which has been left floundering. japanese food is the most popular food in the world and definitely i think there are many other companies like ours doing the same business and everywhere i think these companies are suffering major consequences from a strong. when the national currency is up it pushes exports down japanese

goods just too expensive to compete on the wild stage and its profits disappear so do people's livelihoods. that meant growth the strong man and the massive national debt some economists fear that japan may be all appear years away from its own major economic crisis and since this east asian nation remains the world's number three economy the consequences of bad big global this is something japan's political leaders are determined to avoid and many are calling for urgent action. in these industry can probably enjoy the current seventy five year into the dollar level for a little while but if this situation doesn't change over a longer period i think we're going to see japanese factories and large companies move their operations overseas places like vietnam thailand or china this would lead to a hollowing out of japanese domestic industry and create unemployment japan is

facing an extraordinary. crisis. despite the worries of the ruling party lawmakers it is not clear there is anything the japanese government really do to prevent the soaring yann from leaving japanese businessman stock to money. in japan when in supply industry is gradually losing its ability to sell their products and machines to just turn sour when since the world faces these conditions japanese companies have to look for whatever opportunities they can discover but that's not going to be easy in a country where the government itself the plea in the red japan has the highest national debt among major economies owing almost twice as much as the economy makes in an entire year couple that with the funds needed to rebuild after the devastation unleashed by the earthquake and tsunami earlier this year and it seems

should have the basic rights in the basic care care of we the people more than your banker we need you to join us. because they're just people to be an us versus them we need your help for personhood what is that and corporations that are have felt as though it's ok to exploit people and exploit the planet for profit and profit alone so what do you have to say to those corporations well i don't have to say anything other than i don't support them how do you say be fair and share to someone or something that does not know what what kind of concept this is and do qadi we practice we're a community where we share our resources we are so greedy and so. money and wealth and materialism and consumerism you still have a message for all these corporate bigwigs who are taking millions and not supporting their messages and so them my message is to make sure that these

soldiers that are here that they continue to believe that this conversation is important and that these people are involved in a process to constructing a road where dreams are possible right now dreams are impossible in america for a lot of people these people need to believe that dreams must continue that's why we're here so it seems like the bottom line is the protesters are less interested in talking to wall streeters and washington themselves and more interested in keeping the conversation and the power among the people themselves. legendary bolshoi theater has finally reopened its doors after six years of refurbishment and delays there is two thousand people took their seats for exclusive performance abilities of catherine the great over among them she has the details of how the grand theater made its way back to the forefront of russia's cultural stage. that's the curtain one topple the first time in six years it
