sometimes fail to recognize that when they attack nonviolent protesters it really exposes the the corruption of the system in the fact that the police are fielded to protect the one percent and not to protect the free speech rights of the rest of us that actually draws more support for the protest they are finally drawing attention to the fact that we have an economy actually it not only in the united states but in the world that is predominantly working for the for the one percent of people who control the financial system it is not working for the ninety nine percent we've had so much conversation in the united states fueled by corporate media focusing attention on the problem of. the government skipping over the wall street has created an economy that is devoted primarily to making money for rich people through telling financial data we have to address that issue people are complaining that the occupy wall street people don't have clear demands it's actually quite

has reportedly left seventeen soldiers dead according to human rights groups well this comes after the arab league condemned the continuing killings of civilians in that country and the regime protests the arab ministerial committee is due to hold another round of talks with syrian officials over the weekend to help and the crisis the u.n. estimates more than three thousand people killed since march the uprising against president bashar al assad began protesters have also been calling for a no fly zone over the country as well as aerial support from nato warplanes brian becker from the u.s. based antiwar coalition answered believes that unlike rubia serious too strong for the alliance to intervene that's why the west lost a spark a civil war there to bring about regime change. and 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 with the 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 i think the first 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 could offie but they can use the human beings who have grievances valid or not to be the human material for a civil war and i think the u.s. government officials 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 prelude to a more direct intervention for regime change. a massive protest for economic justice is due to take place in the israeli capital later on saturday and it's expected to rival september's rallies which saw a nearly half a million people take to the streets across the country calling less and wider bradley burston says even the construction of new settlements has israelis calling for a budget review the automatic and and basically behind the scenes allocation of resources from many government ministries to new housing developments in the in the occupied territories maybe very much more difficult to carry out without scrutiny of the questioning has a lot to do with transparency the question has a lot to do with what actually is happening with the resources that are going to the finance and we're going to the settlements and even if the settlement activity

is not blocked the fact of the of the allocations the widespread nature of allocations from many ministries and the nature of the subsidies that go out to the settlements may change people's minds of eventually about the wisdom of continuing to build there a massive financial pyramid scheme which wiped out millions of people's life savings and russia and the one nine hundred ninety s. back well it's eccentric founder served time for his dodgy accounting but savers in ukraine a queuing up to hand over their hard earned money. explains why. the twenty eleven russian hit movie the pyramid depicts a robin hood of the nine hundred ninety s. a businessman who promises well for ordinary people and confronts the only guard. 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. i don't feel like i'm a sinner what about the m.m.m. ninety four it was undermined by the government so i knew him a man. was virtually unlimited resources absolutely i'm control of the situation was not acceptable and everything was done to. see the game of an orgy the driving force behind the m.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 back with another financial scheme and was hard to find any commercial enterprise the streets of ukraine cities have been literally flooded with calls to join in with twenty eleven. we get use of 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 this. is

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. . the intense ethnic division in africa's newest country has reached disturbing levels of violence at this weekend. all right well where a suspected rebel attack in south sudan's killed seventy five people officials say was a strike on the country's oil rich unity state most of the paid salaries were rebel fighters but fifteen civilians also died now south sudan has been plagued by tribal violence since it began declaring autonomy from sudan in two thousand and five around three thousand people are thought to have been killed in the country this year alone. there's been a series of insurgent attacks in afghanistan and one incident

looks like you're travelling. just. now clouds are gathering over the land of the rising sun with japan

lurching worrying me towards a financial crisis the country's run up a huge national debt as it struggles to recover from this year's earthquake and tsunami disaster she already komatsu looks at how japan's dire circumstances is leaving a trapped and teetering on the edge. in many ways the japanese economy is like this fish caught dried out frozen and now having great chunks of value sliced clean. take the sister industry itself japanese sushi shops 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 exporters 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 in 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 stagnant growth the strong man and the massive national debt some economists japan maybe all the theory has away from its own major economic crisis and since this nation remains the wells number three economy the consequences of. this is something japan's political leaders are determined to avoid and many are calling for urgent action. 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 creates unemployment japan is facing an extraordinary economic crisis. that despite the mores of ruling party lawmakers it is not clear there's anything the japanese government can really do to prevent the soaring from leaving japanese businessman stop. money. there in japan going in supply industry is gradually losing its ability to sell their products and machines to just. see the world faces these conditionals japanese companies have to look for whatever 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 japan is fighting a battle it may not be able to win she horrific math to r.t. tokyo now as thousands continue to protest across america as part of the anti corporate occupy movement the mainstream media is at pains to point out there's a lack of a unified agenda or a harshness returned to where it all started in new york to discover that every demonstrator has a special something to say to wall street. the protesters of occupy wall street are clearly fed up with wall street and with washington so what do you think they would have to say to their would be oppressors this week let's talk about that i would like to say you're human beings also do you see the suffering that people are going through you know what it's like we want the

health insurance that you have everybody should have that health insurance we should have the basic rights in the basic care care of we the people more than your bank account 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 these people are are so greedy and so by money and wealth and materialism and consumerism do 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. well short of the r.t. asks what we're going to do with the oil runs out which could be sooner than you think all bets are bad here on r.t. .

a very warm welcome to you this is your news today protesters on the walls street they have to. leave the sentence when you're in the chances to get the status of the human experiment is it. because your problem is in this rap music or did those movies loosely trying to make sense of global economy and its arcane things as financial templates the research clambering to maintain our confidence in markets and think you don't want to be easing trade imbalances recession look the missions close to collapsing a subprime loan foreclosed homes people. to fail so we play banks again feelable i think is us crash and seven and. killing teams is like putting it in a closet in athens greece the i.m.f. import strikes me i'm just programs increase the total economy.
