three. free volunteers in video for your media project a free media john darche johnston. a last ditch effort to end at the bloodshed in syria the arab league demands that president assad talk to the opposition and withdraw tanks from the streets. costly recognition washington stops its funding of unesco hours after the u.n. cultural agency granted the palestinians full membership by a majority vote. and a real halloween treat mainstream media resurrects an f.b.i. case code named goes stories which sees the release of footage featuring russian the sleeper agents uncovered just last year in the united states.

live from the heart of moscow this is r t with me will receive shai a very warm welcome here for the world waits for syria's response to the arab league's demands to pull off the streets and start a dialogue with the opposition syrian president assad said that he would only talk to parties that have no links to foreign powers or what he called terrorism some three thousand people have already been killed since clashes between anti-government protesters and security forces began some eight months ago i would that death toll still on the rise. are silly about reports from damascus. the protests the government crackdowns and violence of continue to play parts of syria the capital damascus is still largely sheltered from but beneath the calm many will remind you that in syria walls most certainly have ears they move out the country's intelligence service this little plant in syria. that's one of the state secrets

and says the unrest began in march protestors of accuse them of violent interrogations. before i was chased and arrested by security forces in a very tiny cell to be beaten severely damaging my back and me electrocuted b.q. the soul of receiving money for taking to the streets they said were agents of america and israel after forty eight hours of detention and torture they took all my money and belongings and threw me out into the street to. see him cause he is a lawyer who deals with detention cases she says the influence of the security police extends even into the courtroom and how that mohammad we have three authorities in the country the legal authority the legislative and executive but it is the security police who made the real decisions the courts with for their decision and i feel sorry for the judge because he is not independent. here and good he believes this constant state of fear is thanks to decades of living under the emergency law in place since one nine hundred sixty three in two thousand and

eleven assad repealed the peace after regime protestors this man who's worked for the more but not for twenty seven years sustained gunshot wounds in what he says was an ambush by a group of terrorists we asked him about people's fear of the mob but not accusations that they are behind the violence detentions and torture. this is the wrong idea we are protecting our people but the terrorists shoot civilians and shoot us and then accuse security forces of doing such things accusations that we. are also wrong if this person has political activity without any intention of harming the country and he is free to do this and no one will trace him if he has links with terrorists and works against the country naturally he will be brought to justice we pose the same questions to the deputy foreign minister you know it depends on the people who talk to you if you ask me. because i'm. different i have never ever been asked by visegrád to you or anybody for. something which i

don't do those who fear are either people who. illegally. or carry arms or put themselves in suspicious words well this right here is a very open and colorful slice of syria like we're going to come to talking about security services like anywhere it is probably by entry but here their presence is so widely felt that it's not quite possible to determine just what local feel is normal and what isn't. and when twenty percent of the population is rumored to be in the intelligence service it's no wonder many prefer to keep their voices down in the light of day but within a crowd that's here is temporarily forgotten oh yes i'll take to the streets again and again i'll raise my voice and i'll fear nothing and no one freedom of expression but we get nothing only bashar al assad and security enjoyed it as for us we are nothing why is that i. guess are still you are to me.

and i just earlier we discussed the situation in syria with a beirut based political analyst. he echoed assad's opinion that the country is on rest as part of a foreign plot to topple the syrian government. i think it's a conspiracy by regional power they wanted to change the regime of bashar al assad they want a different regime different government with different had and that's why you can see that regional power hasn't been friendly to the situation. in a place in syria actually some of the country has been funneling what pens and money and start an ideology to topple the regime of president assad the president of syria acknowledged there is opposition in that country and he extended his hand but it comes when the his country for those people who ask him for change and that's why today they have

a constitutional reform but there is an external power or what they say in opposition and exile those are backed by the western powers and some persian gulf country and a historian and author william and thinks that the west's interference in the uprising the middle east and north africa have left the post revolution countries in tough times and you can watch it supported if you will not just just less than half an hour's time here about. the economy is and far worse shape libya had the highest living standard in all the africa before the bombings of nato the country is in ruins because of those bombings not because of could have. the economy of egypt is in dire straits the military remains in control they were in the military high command of egypt was sitting in the pentagon when the picked off and we did for a signal from the pentagon when to return and take control of those events. we've

got to go from moscow now palestine has for the first time ever received recognition by a un body its cultural arm is accepted as a fully fledged member of this decision comes at a price for. the u.s. cutting its funding to the organization which represents almost a quarter of its budget he's got an extra points there certainly was a lot of jubilation in paris cheers went up in the assembly hall where the final tally was announced but the vote comes at a price welcoming palestine to the united nations educational scientific and cultural over the nation needs saying goodbye was not just play two percent of the organization's budget washington has been the agency's biggest contributor so far and the state department has confirmed that they will stop sponsoring the organization on what grounds a u.s. law passed the nineteen ninety five largest washington to cut off funding to unesco

if it is made palestine but nonetheless this u.n. body facing huge budget cuts voted one hundred seven four and fourteen nations against the admission of power stine a very sensitive and jubilant moment for the palestinians and the sour point for these three reason for the united states it seems they've been doing everything possible to do rail the vote but to no avail all those you are inviting question deals with science education and culture the vote has been seen as very much political as a first step as a reminder of the popularity of the palestinian bid for full u.n. membership. application is that the pending before the u.n. security council where the united states is threatening to use its veto power and also the international community is for palestine becoming a full member of the un and the us position on this is considered to be very much biased. he is going to make you can write there were we were always eager to know

your take on our top story that so i will get involved here we're asking you one line of what the admission of palestine to unite us go mean so let's bring up the stats right here on our feet the numbers speak just under forty percent of you don't think the move will change anything the palestinians while slightly above a third think it clears the way for the country statehood and the rest are more or less evenly divided between two options whether unesco will have difficulties putting its bills now or the admission of palestine would sweep in the field of a future rejection by the un if you have the time of peace to log on to r.t. gotta come have your say right now on our global online column. ramsey the root editor of the palestine a critical part carney thinks the washington's move is unfair but says that you know we'll survive it's. an issue that's what's exactly what it is and the sad thing is that you many members of the congress. was a. conservative republican going back to school. for the u.s.

to use its iron fist. punch to you're going to. recognize this this time as. there should be international body or do you still membership. organization. and what is going to suffer not just the silliest don't you. think it's from the basic programs that you just can't function throughout the years. but this is what you order to my going to out of here and this president reagan that's one point to this one pulled out and you know what good is so simple and it's also why stocks well. sidearm who's an advisor to the palestinian president i think is that the recognition increases international pressure on the u.s. and its allies to follow suit. and you kind of get the united states of america celebrating

the arab spring going into the behavior square in egypt and shaking the hands of demonstrators seeking democracy while banning palestinians from having their own democracy and their own independence that's you well that's totally unacceptable what's also true this is the fact that the united states of america has in the past but it's not in the palestinian i thought we would cut the aid now we hear the foreign secretary secretary clinton is calling upon congress to become sort of this position i certainly hope that the american administration would reconsider this and that the usual for financial threat would not pay off and the palestinian and the international information to consolidate for the same independence will not be subject to in order. to hold by such share thoughts if anything it has to be thought that indorsement now is an international voice added to the palestinian voice and i think this voice ought to be addressed and addressed carefully. so i

thought twelve minutes past the hour here in the us still ahead for you can program a lot of tough tactics such as ations of us of police brutality against anti wall street protesters melds public talk to witnesses all dollars plus. markets worldwide all sinking as investors pretzel the surprise decision up by the greek prime minister to call a referendum on last week's new bailout package for the debt stricken country more in business in ten minutes. would be soon which bryson moon about sums from palestinian christians.

actual spooks there was no charges of espionage levels against the ten people who were arrested in the united states in june of last year instead they pled guilty to conspiracy to act as a rule for agents of the foreign governments now this these videos are to be released coating stories was released on halloween something which did raise a few eyebrows however the f.b.i. how they shoot us that this is just purely coincidental now the footage shows members of this alleged spy ring. doing such things as shopping in macy's and using laptops in popular branches of book stores the f.b.i. saying the operation story sends a clear message to any foreign spies wanting to operate in the united states other critics have suggested this the release of these documents is something of the

business news in about seven minutes time for now though the ever growing occupy wall street movement in the u.s. is drawing more dissatisfied university students into which ranks by the record cost of national student loans and high unemployment putting bearable on the backs of young people. while some of those already facing a future cost that they call it the american dream because you have to be asleep to believe that student debt is crushing the american dream for millions of students and polish graduates it's this thing that eventually you'll have to kind of face but until then you kind of pretend it doesn't exist because if you did then it's it's a bit daunting vast majority of youth or unable to. pay for college. for the first time in the u.s. total student debt has surpassed one trillion dollars now more than the nation's credit card debt this as unemployment amongst college graduates is at an all time

high president obama recently announced his plan to ease student loan debt we're going to make it easier for you to have one payment. at a better interest rate and this will cost but it will cost taxpayers a dime but it will save you money and it will save you time but his plan won't help millions of americans already drowning in debt and it excludes private loans which is where many students run into trouble due to their high interest rates move on dot org launched a petition's who eliminates that which has garnered over six hundred forty seven thousand signatures if you put more money into the people they're going to spend it and that will create demand it will create economic growth and it will create jobs robert applebaum says bailing out students rather than banks will stimulate the economy i put in more cash in the pockets of the educated middle class they're not starting businesses they're not ours they're not buy houses they're not starting.

in our. the developed countries getting a financial education isn't such a financial burden you have free tuition in france. mark in sweden finland they don't pay anything in public universities and when they do paddy the price tag isn't as shocking as it is in the us twenty one countries in europe for which we have data. there's only four who have two or more than two hundred dollars compare that to an average of over eight thousand per public and over twenty eight thousand dollars for private u.s. college as many cost much more the average schools are charging thirty five to forty five thousand dollars a year and we myself personally i work at two universities and i net about. twenty eight thousand dollars a year and it's not getting any better over the past two decades to asian has skyrocketed over four hundred percent this year alone the cost of college shot up

over eight percent occupy wall street protesters camped out here and across the nation say this is yet another example of rising inequality with millions shackled to college debt for years and in many cases decades in washington artsy. of course it's not only students who have been standing defiant on u.s. streets as part of the ongoing and the wall street protests but the movement has that has attracted thousands of people from all walks of life to mining economic justice has recently seen a sweeping police crackdown around one hundred protesters were arrested nationwide in just the last three days for refusing to leave their camps denver officers in riot gear used pepper spray and rubber bullets to disperse the crowds i would guess is accused police of using brutal force and saying that authorities are manipulating evidence to discredit i kissed. but we showed our kind of

ready for it you know before the the chance we're not at all totally armed to the t.v. and ready for war so to speak and move very quickly we do know that one protester though in fact the german army showed a picture was shot for climbing the tree and those actually we found out afterwards were the pepper balls they're calling and they're likely also filled with a chemical agent not river i've seen in our last few videos want to rest in particular where an officer drove his motorcycle into the crowd this one was kind of weeded out by right wing saying look at this guy ritchie a couple of his bike how we did a second by second analysis so do you know you watch those people and you can clearly tell the dogs or at least the gentleman you see is probably propelled backwards and then seems to injure is right foot really jumps back on to his left foot and then in frustration he gives the fender a show at which point officer comes to control start ups off the brake just come down and ask lots. of course our correspondents
