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 you're going to see a lot of reporters still persist protesting because they're going to work twenty years and they're going to see that their parents you know 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 you know i think they are going to. i think that everybody has banded together and the rope that's being created here no sword will cut once they see a churkin out r t v or. the anti wall street protesters have seen some heavy police crackdowns with tear gas and a sound grenades being used to disperse the rallies and after an iraq war veteran

scott olsen was seriously injured in a protest in oakland anger against the system has only been fueled but one of the wounded marines friends and alleviates who is also a war veteran thinks that violence is not the answer nobody has stepped forward and it made it you being the police officer who threw or fired the projection but it scott is still the situation is still really tense i think until the city and same old man committed a vast error in judgment i feel like it's not going to foster good relationships that scott situation has taught us all you know it's i hope it will continue teaching us all that violence no matter which side it's against is never a productive way to get your message across. and later in the program we give the demonstrators in new york a chance to let their voices be. these people are so greedy

and so. money and wealth and materialism and consumerism. heads down to occupy to zuccotti park in the big apple for tea to ask protestors for their message to wall street. to germany's multicultural melting pot boils over immigration anger drives a deepening divide through communities are two reports from berlin. activists say syrian security forces have killed at least thirty people during mass protests calling for the downfall of pres president bashar assad's regime this comes after the arab league condemned the continuing killings of civilians in the country arab ministerial committee is due to hold another round of talks with syrian officials later on sunday to help end the crisis the u.n. estimates more than three thousand people have been killed since march when the

anti regime uprising began some of the protesters have also been calling for a no fly zone over the country and aerial support from nato warplanes but dissident syrian writer and democracy campaigner told our troops that 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 every one of us would still be against military intervention we fight for freedom and we don't want to wait external slavery to our domestic law we don't want it to become a part of the struggle between the international and 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 public on philology countries. from the foundation for political economic and social research. believes that a no fly zone will not help to resolve the political crisis. i don't think that

no fly zone would be an official way to face with the assad regime because when we see the development of the protests and the brutal crackdown of the cedar ridge games for protesters we see that the syrian regime had been using its land forces a lot except for occasional use of helicopters to shut down the protesters and the using a no fly zone like the one in libya i don't think would be an efficient way to face these brutal crackdown of to regime strong parallels have been between libyan case and the syrian case i think this is a grave error because there are grave differences between the syrian case and the libyan case when we look at the syrian case i think it's completely different i mean if you look at it's like social fabric or the sectarian lines in syria. all.

from the opposition and also the fighting these groups have been living together the syrian giora if you get your feet those will let you know a scenario like the one in libya. and now to israel where thousands of demonstrators protesting against social inequality and government spending policy took to the streets of tel aviv again after a nearly two month break artie's post leader brings us the latest. the last demonstration back in september in early september soledad was a million people come to the streets in the country organizers were satisfied with that turnout and after that a lot of the protesters many of them are university students return to process and things had to take a little bit of it all but said the now what we have seen in the last few hours is not only attention on what is happening internally here from 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 well hold responsible for a grad missile that was fired into israel earlier in the week the 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 on what is happening externally and certainly the mainstream international media is making a lot of what is going on on 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 his recess tomorrow 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 who 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 the money is bad but the lows 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 on what they say are very legitimate demands. artie's possibly reporting for us there now columnist and writer bradley burston says people are now questioning everything they've previously turned a blind eye to 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 may be very much more difficult to

carry out without scrutiny 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 their millions of russians lost their life savings in the one nine hundred ninety s. in what proved to be a massive financial pyramid scheme and now it's back its eccentric founder has come up with another financial plant and in ukraine savers are getting in line 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 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 ninety four it was undermined by the government so i knew m.m.m. emerged and there was virtually unlimited resources absolutely i'm control of the situation was not acceptable and everything was done to donate it to the game of 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. back with another financial scheme and while you

could hardly find any commercial enterprise the streets of ukraine cities have been literally flooded with a call 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 counties and 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 my body's 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 your restrictions and a lot of people on. government machine the bureaucracy is again like administer to the press in the financial markets and people looking for an exit nobody claims his actions are legal ukraine's politicians disagree the ruling party wants current laws tightened to block them from making off with vulnerable people's nast ags 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 is a criminal offense. of an 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. schemes see reporting from here

in ukraine occupy wall street in the states austerity measures in europe and in the country of the rising sun there are also financial worries. day with us to find out why the world's third largest economy may be teetering on the brink of collapse. germany is seeing a rise in the ism as voters eyes are eagerly turning towards hardline right wing parties after decades of a multicultural policy proved in effect of the ethnic communities of the country have only grown further apart and as tom barton reports the worry is that the cultural divide will deepen. 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 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 achieve that in some regions in east germany than you have no immigrants. it's not because of economy queasiness 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 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 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 for the year was when we put accusations of inciting hatred to the n.p.t. yes they were unmoved germany is the state of the germans but if you are 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 say's they don't belong here m.p.t. or other parties. could 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 are posting up 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. . and excuse me now a look at some other stories making headlines around the world. disturbing violence in south sudan where a suspected rebel attack killed seventy five people officials say it was

the real life story of. russia's most throws open its doors after a massive renovation. clouds are gathering over the land of the rising sun with japan lurching worryingly towards a financial crisis the countries that run up huge national debt as it struggles to recover from this year's earthquake and tsunami disaster she. now looks at how. stances are leaving it trapped and teetering on the edge. thank

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 seafood industry itself japanese sushi shops raking 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 your 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. jump anees 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. growing. despite the worries of the ruling party lawmakers it is not clear there's anything the japanese government can really do to prevent the soaring from leaving japanese businessman stock money. in japan going in supply industry is gradually losing its ability to sell their products in machines just aren't selling and since the world faces this condition it's 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 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 this year and it seems japan is

fighting a battle it may not be able to win she hurried 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 that there is a a lack of a unified agenda. 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 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 and the basic care care of we the people more than

your bank account we need you to join us right because they're just people to you it shouldn't 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 to qadi we practice we're a community where we share our resources these people are are so greedy and so fair to 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 people in my messages and to 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. that wraps up our news this hour i'm sean thomas and thanks for watching r.t. international i'll be back with the headlines in just a few minutes. and

broadcasting live direct from the heart of moscow to survive the bloodshed with us

let's take a look at your time it's frozen out occupy wall street activists face police pressure to move on after they have their feeding and power generator seized as winter starts early in new york authorities claim but yours could have presented a potential hazard but campaigners say it's just another attempt to silence their. activists say at least thirty protesters are killed or made new clashes in syria as the arab league calls on damascus to end of violence and protect civilians ministers are due to meet syrian officials on sunday in the qatari capital doha in an attempt to resolve the crisis. plus a special report of the man responsible for the biggest financial pyramid scheme in russian history could cost millions of their life savings is now attempting. to hand over their. thousands.
