this is a victory leaving protesters out of the cold as you're about to see they've swept through zuccotti park where hundreds have been camping out confiscating power generators and gas canisters saying the fire hazard thing is the seasonal snow storm has just hit the east coast right now these latest pictures of it as you can see up to ten inches are expected as temperatures hit subzero place all spring criticize meantime to the cracking down on protesters elsewhere in the country in oakland california the mezz been forced to apologize after demonstrators there with tear gas this week despite the violence the movement's picking up momentum. reports on how war veterans and helping fill protest of. america's autumn faeces covered up protestors fleeing from tear gas shot into the crowd by police. at least ninety seven arrests in old 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. but 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 i. think i. i think you risk their lives for america now part of the uprising marines and others who serve the u.s. go public in their fight for the occupy wall street cause let's find out what this means for them. joining us. recognize this is an american. in the negative stereotypes thirty year old gary briggs has served in the national guard for the last two years he's spending his short big.

cation at occupy wall street got some marines national guard maybe. yeah more the better the guardsman is outraged at the fact that marines are getting attacked at whom the crop that 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 that we're going to see a lot of protesting they're going to work twenty years and they're going to see that it's 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 are you. going to. think that everybody has banded together and the rope that's being created here no sword will cut and if they see a churkin up our t. he or. so to us also david korten who's been studying the root causes of why thousands are protesting across the country he told me please tell the

demonstrations only fueling uyghur against an unfair system. the bulk of the protesters 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 corruption of the system and 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 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 problem is the government skipping over the fact that wall street has created an economy that is devoted

primarily to making money for rich people through playing financial games 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 true democracy and real markets which which work for everyone. come a bit later in the program tonight we give the demonstrators in new york a chance to get their voices heard. these we are so greedy. by money and wealth and materialism and consumerism lawry our finest heads down to occupied zuccotti park in the big apple to us protesters for their messages to wall street also coming up to germany's multicultural melting pot boils over as immigration drives a deepening divide through communities we report from berlin. and attacked by army

desert is in syria is reportedly left seventeen soldiers dead according to human rights groups it comes after the arab league condemned the continued 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 try to help end the crisis the u.n. estimates more than three thousand people think killed motions 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 out most of the population doesn't support foreign intervention. or against military intervention whether it's a date tomorrow or in ten years time even if the regime is 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 law 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 poly go on for larger countries. brought back from the us based on people coalition he believes that are like libya syria is too strong for the alliance to intervene that's why the west wants to spark a civil war to bring 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 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 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 thousands of israelis to mother economic justice filled the streets of tel aviv once again after nearly a two month break their own happy with how the government spending the money and they want next year's budget plan said back to the drawing board pull the sleaze in

television. the last demonstration back in september in early september so a million people come to the streets in the country logan i'm somewhat 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 over an hour but said he now what we have seen in the last few hours is not only attention on what is happening internally fearful of the israeli air force has also strikes on southern gaza eleven people have been killed five of them are members of the islamic jihad organization that is what holds a sponsible for a grad missile that was fired into israel earlier in the week be concern here though talking to people is that this story of social demonstrations will not be missed by many in the international community as it focuses in on what is happening externally and certainly the mainstream international media is making a lot of what is going on in gaza to the detriment of what is happening here 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 lull. the knesset the parliament is returning from its recess tomorrow that the day after i mean. we just hope that they'll reconsider their budgetary considerations and the problem has been that the budget considerations have been about parties and politics they've been about leaving the tycoons and seem to control everything we want the budgetary considerations to consider just the general good of the country here in israel it's very very important to realize we are not in economic recession a 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 oh bolos so that's what we're certainly when you hear the cries of people here and really they slogan is the people demand of 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 say are very legitimate demands. are met is correspondent paula slayer 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 and its eccentric founders served time for his dodgy accounting then but say was in ukraine now a queuing up food over their hard earned money explains a bit more. the twenty a live in russian hit movie the pyramid depicts a robin hood of the nine hundred ninety s. a businessman who promises well for dinner 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. i don't feel like

i'm a sinner what about ninety four it was undermined by the government so i knew him and emerged with virtually unlimited resources absolutely i'm control of the situation was not acceptable and everything was done to donated game over 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. had walked the post soviet space. back with another financial scheme and while you could hardly find any commercial enterprise the streets of ukraine cities have been literally flooded with calls to join in with the. weekend do more use 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 virtual currency called dollars which constantly goes up in price from twenty to

sixty percent a month at this price only i can see it some individuals exchange money between themselves without any obligations for ninety some conditions it is a fundamental point when there is no legal entity who joined a kind of 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 latest scheme given the rough patch the country is going through the national bank is like you know order to not the depreciation of national currency is like introducing in your restrictions and a lot of people on. the government machine the bureaucracy is against something like a minister told the press in the financial markets and people are looking for an exit nobody claims his actions are legal ukraine's politicians disagree the ruling party wants current laws tightened to block them and from making off with vulnerable people's nasty eggs. you know ma'am two thousand and eleven there's

a provision for a national service 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 previous ponzi. scheme r.t. reporting from here in ukraine. further out east of finance is looking equally flaky but for very different reasons as we report soon in the program to urgently needs to stop the rot it's the world's third largest economy but a year of disasters left it with an astonishing dead. germany's on a damage limitation drive to try to curb the rise a neo nazi ism in nationalist groups during decades of the now defunct multi cold policy the more the country tried to united's ethnic communities the more for some

apart and voters eyes are now turning towards hardline right wing parties as artie's tom barton reports 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. immigrants germany just the illegal ones yes and after that 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 that in some regions in east germany there are no immigrants. it's not because of economy queens but it's

because nobody wants ready to go there because it's there 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 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 hate crimes. of them about eight hundred violent crimes so that's also been in the top five from 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're today you

have parts in berlin with more than thirty forty percent of foreign us when it's just too much germany has lard. ethnic minority populations from turkey the arab world and beyond many families now have second and third generation members with german citizenship and they are gaining political representatives who defy anyone who sees they don't belong here m p d or other party is. not to 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 a 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. . the intense ethnic division in africa's newest country has reached disturbing levels of violence this weekend with a suspected rebel attack in south sudan's killed seventy five officials say it was a strike on an oil rich province most of the fatalities were rebel fighters but fifteen civilians also died 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 of being killed in the country this year alone. given a series of insurgent attacks in afghanistan in one incident a taliban suicide car bomber struck on a convoy of foreign troops in kabul seventeen dead there including at least three civilians and a policeman then just hours later a man in an afghan military uniform fired on u.s.

i was well for more on what's next for post libya gadhafi at our website r.t. dot com there for you forget of course makes cusa picture gallery put together from across one tripoli with images of the country's reaction to its new leaders is going to be a face is a whole new chapter it's online tonight it's interesting if not already also got these stories too the russian city the relish supermodel the tally of all the end of spring the real life story of a russian off into the wider world after getting help to get a tell published and russia's most historic theater throws open its doors after a massive renovation with a glorious garlow that's not a statement with the highlights as well if you didn't catch it from the bolshoi at r.t. dot com. clouds are gathering over the land of the rising sun with japan lurching worryingly

towards a financial crisis the country's one of the huge national debt as it struggles to try to recover from this year's earthquake and tsunami disaster so to come out so it looks next and how japan's dire circumstances are leaving it trapped and teetering on the edge. in many ways but japanese economy is like this fish caught dried out frozen and now having great chunks of value sliced clean i'll. take this 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 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 do people's livelihoods stagnant growth the strong man and the massive national debt some economists korea japan maybe all of the areas away from its own major economic crisis and since this east asian nation remains the world's number three economy the consequences of the big global this is something japan's political leaders are determined to avoid and many are calling for urgent action. an easy 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. crisis. despite the worries of the ruling party lawmakers it is not clear there is anything the japanese government can really do to prevent the soaring from leaving japanese businessman stock money. home there in japan going in supply industry is gradually losing its ability to sell their products in machines to just aren't selling since the world faces these conditionals 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 only 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 matsu r.t. tokyo. as thousands continue to protest across america as part of the and to corporate occupy movement the mainstream media is a pains to point out there's a lack of a unified agenda not a halfassed return to work 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 do 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 poor 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 corporation 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 fed by 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. early sunday morning sport dimitry come up short list all the latest from the tennis the indices deputy championships in istanbul we got your essential we can entertain we go out on the average shortly to thank for being with us one aims kevin zero in here at r.t. international this up.
