a second month now in new york where the anti corporate demonstrations began officers have literally been leaving protesters out in the cold they've swept through zuccotti park where hundreds of people been camping out have been confiscating their power generators and gas canisters say they're a fire hazard thing is an insatiable snowstorms but in the east coast right now the latest pictures as you can see up to ten inches of snow is expected to hit as temperatures plummet to some serious police are also being criticized for cracking down on protesters elsewhere in the country in oakland california the mayor has been forced to apologize after demonstrators there with tear gas this week well despite the violence luqman is picking up momentum though none the less he's in a situation reports on how war veterans now helping fill protester ranks. america's art of peace is covered up protestors tear gas shot into the crowd by police. at least ninety seven arrests in all could. california. on tuesday

night. a twenty four year old marine and iraq war veteran scott olsen shot in the head by a police tear gas canister unable to even see his name. a march of solidarity with the oakland protesters in new york leads to ten arrests. protestors slammed into the ground and netted by police earlier in another marine confronts police treatment of protesters in a video now gone viral on the web. those who risk their lives for america now part of the uprising marines and others who serve the wesco public in their fight for the occupy wall street cause let's find out what this means for them the fact that more and more military personnel are joining us shows that they recognize that this is an american movie it's not about

him he's in a negative stereotype thirty year old gary briggs has served in the national guard for the last two years he's spending his short b.-k. sion at occupy wall street does marines national guard navy seals. yeah more the better the guardsman is outraged at the fact that marines are getting attacked at home but proud but better should be fired and hung up by. others here believe it won't be long however until the police join the crowds instead of restricting them you're going to see a lot of focus is protesting because they're going to work for years and they're going to see that their pitching is zero but even if this doesn't happen the movement won't be scared to wait any time soon with marines and other military vets pledging to have the protesters back you. get. everybody has banded together and the rope that's being created here no sword will cry and if they see a church r.t.e.

he or. so do us all think they've been studying the root causes of why thousands of protesting across the country he says police crackdowns on the demonstrations really feeling anger against an unfair system the bulk of the protestors are deeply committed to nonviolence which is extremely important and i think the police sometimes fail to recognize that when they attack nonviolent protesters it really exposes the the corruption of the system and the fact that the police alternately or feel that 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 not only in the united states but in the world that is predominately 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 as obama as the problem is the government is skipping over the fact that wall street has created an economy that is devoted primarily to making money for rich people through trying financial james we have to address that issue you know people are complaining that the occupy wall street people don't have clear demands it's actually quite clear what they want they want their economy back they want their government back they want their future back and they actually want a country that operates by principles of are true democracy and and real markets which which work for everyone. could a bit later in the program tonight we give the demonstrators new york chance to get their voices heard to. these people are sold reedy and soul. money and wealth in materialism and consumerism or half and down to occupied zuccotti park in the big apple for us to ask protestors for their

messages to wall street. and germany's multicultural melting pot boils over as immigration anger drives a deepening divide through communities good report from live. next though attack by army desert is in syria's reportedly left seventeen soldiers dead according to human rights groups and comes after the arab league condemned the continuing killings of civilians in the 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 end the crisis here estimates more than three thousand people have been killed since march when the uprising against president bashar assad began some of the protesters have also been calling for a no fly zone over the country and aerial support from nato planes but this isn't syrian writer and democracy campaigner michel kilo told me that most of the population doesn't support foreign intervention. all were against military intervention whether it's a day tomorrow or in ten years time even if the regime was to ny late every one of

us would still be against military intervention we fight for freedom and we don't want to add external slavery to our domestic one we don't want it to become a part of the struggle between the international and internal forces syrians are peaceful they want to progress under conditions of freedom and development and they don't want to turn into a concentration camp a polygon for larger countries and brownback of the us based antiwar coalition believes that unlike libya syria is too strong for the alliance to intervene that's why the west was the spark of civil war to bring regime change. for 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 could 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 khadafi 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 thousands of demonstrators for

economic justice filling the streets of the israeli company once again after nearly a two month break they're all happy with the government spending policies they want parliament to send next year's budget plan back to the drawing board let's get the latest multi-sport asli and she's in tel aviv where the fall of the thing could see tonight now we sold nearly half a million protesters across the country back in september didn't we but they've since vowed to get before while the beans so why they're back on the streets again tonight it begs the question. well as you say this is the first time in eighteen months that social protesters are taking to the streets as you can see behind me there are tens of thousands of people here in television as well as in cities across the country now the last him astray should back in september in early september so cause a million people come to the streets in the country organizers was satisfied with that turnout and after that a lot of the protesters many of them are university students return to process and things that didn't take a little bit of it all but city now but we have seen in the last few hours not only

attention on what is happening internally the israeli air force has also gone strikes on southern gaza eleven people have been killed five of them are members of the islamic jihad organization that is well hold responsible for a grad missile that was fired into israel in earlier in the week be concern here though talking to people is that this story of social demonstrations will now be missed by many in the international community as it focuses on what is happening externally and certainly the mainstream international media is making a lot of what is going on gaza to the detriment of what is happening here in the last few hours they has been a volley of rockets fired from gaza into southern israel and several people have been injured dozens of people are being treated and with me to talk about this is nicholas simmons who is one of the social protesters nicolette why are you back on the streets after a two month. knesset the parliament is returning from his recess tomorrow the day

after i mean. we just heard that they'll reconsider their budgetary considerations and the problem is being that the budgetary considerations have been about parties and politics they've been about leaving the tycoons is going to control everything we want the budgetary considerations to consider just the general good of the country is this an admission that the demonstrations until now have not really achieved that much the demonstrations. caused a huge amount of social awareness there was a trachtenberg report which made some very very nice concessions but it just didn't go far enough where you got the protests happening in new york are you inspired by occupy wall street well it makes us happy that people are getting out on the streets to campaign for their own rights for the governments to think about them rather than about themselves here in israel it's very very important to realize we are not in economic recession our problem isn't that we don't have enough money

problem is that it's being mismanaged the government decisions about what to do with the money is bad this does differ from what's happening in europe in america where they just run out of money but i've got these airstrikes in gaza right been talking to people here and they say it's just convenient timing now when people are taking back to the streets the israeli army launches a strikes on gaza for years israeli internal issues have been neglected because there's always been a defense story that always will be a defense story it's not going to go away from operating within the protests i can tell you internally the protest movement is blind to the defense story they just care about what's happening inside the country they said story is not going to go away we're going to carry on whatever happens that it's generally i don't want to just remind you that back on august the sixteenth when the social demonstrations where at the highs is well known is trying to gain on gaza as well now we have been hearing that the demonstration that was planned tonight in beer sheva which is the

town not far from the concert hall that has been canceled and it was concern here earlier in tel aviv that this demonstration too would be canceled but certainly when you hear the cries of people here and read a slogan is that people demand social justice people here saying that the government can do what it wants to attract attention but they certainly will not give up and what they face a very legitimate demands. from the scene of a fresh social protest sit israel talking to social activists nicholas simmons one of the organizers of the rally thank you. a massive financial pyramid scheme which wiped out millions of people's life savings here in russia in the one nine hundred ninety s. is back in its eccentric founders served time for his dodgy accounting but savers in ukraine now are queuing up to hand over their hard earned dollars. explains why . the twenty eleven russian hit movie the pyramid depicts a robin hood of the nine hundred ninety s. and businessman who promises well for people and confronts the oligarchs the real

story behind the split was a sad episode in russia suppose 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 of course i don't feel like i'm a sinner m.m.m. ninety four it was undermined by the government so i knew him and emerged with virtually unlimited resources absolutely i'm controlled so the situation was not acceptable and everything was done to eliminate it silly game of rudy and a 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 financial pyramid had walked through here nobody ever back with another financial scheme and whilst they watched you 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 can do more is the slogan of the new complain i've already admits 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 at this price only i can sit some individuals exchange money between themselves without any obligations got until some conditions it is a fundamental point when there is no legal entity to joint account new office in other words everything is shared between millions of private accounts that means no one can put an end to it. financial experts in ukraine see little surprise in my forties latest scheme given the rough patch the country is going through the national bank is like you know ordered not to allow the depreciation of national

currency is like introducing in the euro threatens a lot of people understand the government the bureaucracy is against. the press and the financial markets and people looking for an exit he claims his actions are legal ukraine's politicians disagree the ruling party wants current laws tightened to block m.n. from making off with vulnerable people's nasty bags m.m.m. m.m.m. two thousand and eleven there's a provision for a national service and requires a license providing financial services without a license as 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. alexi russia ski r.t. reporting from here in ukraine. germany is on a damage limitation drive right now to curb

a rise in near naziism in nationalist groups during decades of the now defunct multi culti policy the more the country tried united they can it is a more force in the park and voters eyes are now turning towards hardline right wing parties and that is tom barton reports next the worry is that the cultural divide could violently 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 a bit immigrants in germany just think a little wants us after the other day i was told that's the view of the national democratic party all n.y.p.d. here in germany they've supported many concepts attended by right wing supporters but their opponents argue they promote hatred they achieve that in some regions in

east germany there are no immigrants. it's not because of a comic reasons but it's because nobody wants really to go there because it's there always threatened one and the nazi group recently managed to do right when concert goers into wearing their bogus chief shirts when they were washed the right wing 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 hardcore 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 eight crimes. of them about eight hundred violent crimes so that's also in the top five for your own report accusations of

inciting hatred to the n.p.t. yes they were unmoved germany is the state of the germans but if you. 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 n.p.t. or other party is. could maps just say to me or take to me this part of me had to be german whereas most political parties are now finding candidates from the ethnic groups they represent those on the right of 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. . intense ethnic division in africa's newest countries reached disturbing levels of violence this weekend were a suspected rebel attack in south sudan local seventy five people officials say it was a strike on an oil rich probably and most of the fatalities were rebel fighters but fifteen civilians also died so sudan has been plagued by tribal violence since it began declaring autonomy from sudan in two thousand and five around three thousand people thought to have been killed in the country this year alone. has been a series of insurgent attacks in afghanistan in one incident a taliban suicide car bomber struck on

this is r t from moscow. clouds are gathering over the land of the rising sun with your perm lurching worryingly towards a financial crisis the country's one of huge national debt as it struggles to try to recover from this year's earthquake and tsunami disaster she looks at how japan's dire circumstances are leaving it trapped and teetering on the edge right now. in many ways the japanese economy is like this fish. caught dried out frozen and now having great chance of value sliced clean up. take the industry itself japanese sushi shops are raking in about seventeen billion dollars annually with hungry customers consuming nine million tonnes of sisterhood along the way. if 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 else 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 people's livelihoods stagnant growth the strong man and the massive national debt some economists korea japan maybe all of the years away from its own major economic crisis and says this east asian nation remains the world's number three economy the consequences of bad the big global this is something japan's political leaders are determined to avoid and many are calling for her age and action.

industry can probably enjoy the current seventy five year 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 is facing an extraordinary economic crisis. that despite the worries of ruling party lawmakers it is not clear there is anything the japanese government can really do to prevent a story from believing japanese businessman. money. there in japan know when supply industry is gradually losing its ability to sell their products and machines just aren't selling and 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 if they 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 only by the earthquake and tsunami earlier this year and it seems japan is fighting a battle it may not be able to win. r.t. tokyo worrying times in japan as thousands continue to protest across america is part of the anti corporate occupy movement the mainstream media is at pains to point out there's a lack of a unified agenda but it often has returned the word 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 pad up with wall street and with

washington so what if they would have to say that there 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 and the basic care we the people more than your banker we need you to join us because they're just people too it shouldn't be an us versus them we your help corporate 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 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 to

qadi we practice where a community where we share our resources these people are so greedy and so by money and wealth and materialism and consumerism you still have a method for all these corporate bigwigs who are taking millions and not supporting their people in my messages incident my message is to make sure that these soldiers that are here and they continue to believe that this conversation is important and that these people are involved in the process of constructing a role 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. surely tonight we ask what we all going to do when the oil runs out which could be

soon of a rethink the spotlight is on next program in a few minutes tonight here on our team lost. in the river will. be.
