cut an associate churkin archie he or. he was also they've been studying the root causes of why thousands of protests across the country he told me police crackdown on the demonstrations are only feeling anger against an unfair system but 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 also mostly 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 but it is not working for the ninety nine percent we've had so much conversation in the
5:05 pm

5:07 pm
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 polygon for larger countries. but brian becker from the u.s. based coalition and so believes that unlike 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. 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 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
5:08 pm
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 a 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 buy the

5:23 pm
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 and it would lead to a hollowing out of japanese domestic industry and creates unemployment japan is facing an extraordinary economic crisis. that this pipe the worries of ruling party lawmakers it is not clear there is anything the japanese government can really do to prevent a soaring from leaving japanese businessman. money. in japan going in supply industries were actually losing its ability to sell their products in machines just aren't selling 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 is the plea in the red japan has the highest
5:24 pm
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 and leached 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 martz's r.t. tokyo troubling times and. thousands continue to protest across america as part of the anti corporate occupy movement the mainstream media the pains to point out there's a lack of a unified agenda for this return the world 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 bad up with wall street and with washington so what do you think they would have to say to their would be oppressors

by money and wealth and materialism and consumerism you still have a mass for all these corporate bigwigs who are taking millions and not supporting if you follow 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 a process 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 times that out and more interested in keeping the conversation and the power among the people themselves. this is. the issue. be on this trial i had lined up they have before that just a couple of minutes i'm kevin now in thanks for watching us.
