pending action the international community pushes syria's president to filter months from the arab league to end the bloodshed and start talks with the opposition. us a verse is that unesco washington curves funding to the u.n. cultural body after he granted an historic membership to palestine. and the f.b.i. joins the halloween celebrations by sharing its own ghost stories releasing surveillance footage showing chapman and other alleged russian spies.

worldwide news live from moscow this is arts he with me role research all eyes are on syria as the world awaits president assad's response to the arab league's demands to hold violent dialogue with the opposition but the president had promised earlier to talk to his opponents but only those with no links to foreign powers. investigates who the syrians blame for the bloodshed that's now claimed more than three thousand lives. the protests the government crackdowns and violence of continue to plague 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 the more but out the country's intelligence service has political clout in syria that's hardly state secret and says the unrest began in march protestors have accused them of violent interrogations. before i was chased and arrested by

security forces in a very tiny cell they beat me severely damaging my back and electric couldn't make use of soul of receiving money for taking to the streets they said were agents of american israel after forty eight hours of detention and torture it took all my money and belongings in threw me out into the street. soon corey is a lawyer who deals with detention cases she says the influence of the security police extends even into the courtroom that mohamed we have three authorities in the country the legal authority the legislative and executive but it is the security police who make the real decisions the court judge for their decision and i feel sorry for the judge because he is not independent. and could he believes this constant state of fear is thanks to decades of living under the emergency law in place since nine hundred sixty three in two thousand and eleven assad repealed a peace protesters this man who's worked for the mob but not for twenty seven years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 at accusations that they are behind the violence detentions and torture. this is the wrong idea we are protecting our people for the terrorists shoot civilians and shoot us and then accuse security forces of doing such things accusations that we instill fear 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 chase 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 you talk to if you ask me as a citizen of syria i put you in front of you i have never ever been asked by the security or anybody for something which i do those who fear are either people who. illegally. or carry arms or put themselves in suspicious words but 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 proud of my country but here their presence is so widely felt that it's not possible to determine just what local feel is normal and what is it. 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 will want freedom of expression but we get nothing only bashar al assad is security and enjoyed as for us we are nothing why is there i. r t. meantime our beirut based political analyst come on new told us here at r.t. that the syrian regime fell out of favor with foreign powers which is why then are

pressuring president assad solely. i think it's a conspiracy by regional power they wanted to change the regime of bashar al assad they wanted a different regime different government with different had and that's why you can see the regional power hasn't been friendly to the situation it's taking the place inside syria actually some of these 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 to reconsolidation away then 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 our position in exile those are backed by the western powers persian gulf country

western in interference in the arab spring has left the middle east and north africa deeply wounded that's according to a story in william and you can watch his full interview in a less than a half an hour's time here and. a preview. all of these and far. libya had the highest living standard in all the africa before the bombing of nato today the country is in ruins because of those moments not because of gadhafi. 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 group all skipped off and waited for a signal from the pentagon when to return and take control orders of birds. he would r.t. now palestinians have vowed to try to join other u.n.

agencies within weeks this follows a triumph you know where they were granted full membership but the move has cost the un's cultural arm the lion's share of its budget which came from washington that is going to have to count explains. there certainly was a lot of jubilation in paris cheers went up in the assembly hall where the final tally was announced but the votes crowns at a price welcoming palestine to the united nations educational scientific and cultural organisation means saying goodbye to as much as twenty two percent of the organization's budget washington is being 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 obliges washington to cut off funding to unesco if it is amidst palestine but nonetheless this u.n. body facing huge budget cuts voted one hundred seven for and fourteen nations against the admission of palestine

a very sensitive and jubilant moment for the palestinians and it's sour point for the israelis and for the united states it seems they've been doing everything possible to do rail the boat but to no avail although the u.n. body in question deals with science education and culture of the vote is being 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 now pending before the u.n. security council where the united states is threatening to use its veto power most of the international community is for palestine becoming a full member of the u.n. and the u.s. position on this is considered to be very much biased. guy nature kind of courting right there well as you know we're always interested in your opinion if you log on to our tea dot com with so we're asking you how the admission of palestine to unesco is likely to play out and see how the numbers add up here on r.t. so far forty percent don't believe the move will change anything for the

palestinians but just over a third think it clears the way for the country say hood and the rest are almost evenly divided between those who say yes go will now have difficulty putting its bills and those who think that meeting palestine would sweeten the pill of future rejection by the u.n. if you would take them i would have your say on the u.s. you are simply not being on c.n.n. dot com. or you know scare was no stranger to being cut off by the u.s. and managed to survive without washington's handouts in the past and many believe the organization will have no trouble keeping afloat this time either it's. on a ship that's what exactly what it is and the sack. many members of the congress i spoke to yeah it wasn't all going. to be republican thing. for the u.s. to use its iron fist. punch took any organization that. recognizes palestine as.

there should be an international body who didn't strike or should. he should anyone. and was just going to suffer not just the seriously wrong but you knew this country's biggest cities from the basic programs that you just couldn't function without the use. of this what you called it to my drinking and intrigue that's one point funded to this one pulled out and you know what you this will survive and it will survive this time as well. he with. you on the program here and better enraged. at the american dream you have to be asleep employees graduate so mired with massive student loans vent their frustration by joining the thousands of occupy wall street protesters. and it's all change at the top of the european central bank president john calling the share

a stepping down after eight years of boom bust recession and. it's halloween saw the f.b.i. tell its own ghost story it released surveillance footage of anna chapman and other alleged russian sleeper agents uncovered in two thousand and ten the agency says the videos show a spy ring at work. reports from moscow perhaps spookiest overall is that this footage doesn't contain any actual spooks there was no charges of espionage leveled against the ten people who were arrested in the united states in june of last year instead they played guilty to conspiracy to act as a rule for agents of the foreign governments know this these videos are to be released coping good stories was released on halloween something which did raise a few eyebrows however the f.b.i. how they shoot. 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 bookstores the f.b.i. saying that operation ghost story sent a clear message to any foreign slice wanting to operate in the united states oh the critics have suggested this the release of these documents is something of the publicity stunt. well you can always follow the story of russia's foreign affairs are on our website marts he thought carter you can find out how the alleged undercover sly literally turned herself into a trademark after becoming a star media. and for some people even a second of skin is too much i make it a taxi driver went on a rampage by damaging dozens of cars in moscow claiming he did. all in the name of .

it with r.t. live from moscow now. has passed the baton of the european central bank to police mario draghi now to shay's eight years as e.c.b. head to tokyo in a recession and europe's debt crisis and with that still rumbling on throughout he is going to have to hit the ground running and it's good if you are out of your claim of the present economic. university thank you very much for joining us today on the program so mario draghi takes over the post of the peak of the euros troubles do you think he's likely in any way to bring change to the wall to the whole more slashes more bailouts policy. now he's not on as an attack on a credit but a rod and to share who's more in hands on the. he just maybe that makes a difference but then again you think that actually he will be more principled even

don't appreciate it and thirty she will try to call a very strict chorus holding on to it. time and to control inflation. being reluctant to step in to show her each. governments were church of her debts but when you talk about the salvage of government excessive in their debt thirty three b. president as we know is going from france the second strongest economy in the e.u. over to italy one of the states facing hard hard times is that significant in your ear. yeah but we have seen patricia was willing to shout about all certainty. in the end. and difficult time between show didn't do what he wanted to do so does not show having to tell you and you tell your also paid attention to the interest of the you tell an economist these are professionals technocrats. the will

do everything they can do to protect the independence of the european central bank however you're seeing that the european central bank functions on the great political pressure no one knows what's going on no one knows whether the solutions brought forward in the latest europe are will do their job there's a great deal of uncertainty and show it's very hard to tell how disk i use bankrupt credit will handle the situation. and maybe he will also do what three show do and take each what they call unusual steps to try to stem an almost inevitable crunch that we've had some analysts on the story suggesting that the handing of the baton is simply a rearranging of the same fun if not now greeks who have been having a terrible time in two thousand and eleven will get a referendum on the new european bailout that the other factor today's markets have already taken ahead following the news of the possible referendum violent protests

suggest that many people just are not happy with what's going on it's a hard bargain agreement now and a real threat to think. you know it's hard to show you i mean. you should watch the approach. to work each go shoot a shot let's remember last week now you can if you can just for a moment me for interrupting it was just last week in the u.k. the decision of a vote on a possible referendum about leaving the e.u. now it's greece they're going to have a referendum is a possible we're starting to see an avalanche effect across the across the eurozone and ultimately the e.u. . but i would have predicted that the euro is unsustainable and i think it's we're witnessing a major crisis in his euro and those are always expressed by by people taking these kind of actions that a bit like the greek minister also begins to realize that the euro is

a big burden for the greeks the greeks are still committed to euro to still say they want a euro but the question is whether they're really do need a crisis of the euro and the same can be said for the germans i myself look especially to determine and she she how do you are going to behave on the pressure i think that the germans generally think that the price for the euro has been high and they may decide in the next or she or future that the price is too high and if the german council does kind of inside the euro it is not so plentiful now i'm running right on time here forgive me for that but the greeks could have better say why can the people of the countries donating the ballot money directly influence the decisions of their leaders do you think it's such a big divide between the people and the politicians yeah i think so the politicians of course have more information. but it also. trying to keep in mind to dish out of

common interest and it is the euro right now and your but i think the more people also here in this country to now learn the. real sort of a strange thing from this whole policy. you see populism soaring and that might mean also here in the netherlands any news in germany that people would turn against the whole project all right professor clay might there be a restless university in rotterdam thank you very much. thank you. you with r.t. now the occupy wall street movement now into its seventh week is drawing even more university students into its ranks they are frustrated by the record cost of student loans and high unemployment but for many of them it'll mean a lifetime of debt and starting to live while reports. they call it the american dream because you have to be asleep to believe a student debt is crushing the american dream for millions of students and college 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 are unable to pay these pay for college and this year which birds 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 a month's 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 body and it will save you trouble 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 to eliminate student debt which has garnered over six hundred forty seven thousand signatures if you put more money into the people they're going to

spend 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 by putting more cash in the pockets of the educated middle class they're not starting businesses they're not buying cars they're not councils they're not starting. in other developed countries getting a financial education isn't such a financial burden you have free tuition in france. in sweden finland they don't pay anything at public universities and when they do pay the price tag isn't as shocking as it is in the u.s. twenty one countries in europe for which we have data. there's only for. or who have to issue more than two hundred dollars compare that to an average of over eight thousand for public and over twenty eight thousand dollars for private u.s.

colleges many cost much more the average schools are charging thirty five to forty five thousand dollars a year and we know 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 few decades twitching 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. and it's not just dissatisfied students people from all ages and all walks of life out on america's streets protesting against corporate greed in the face of a police crackdown around one hundred activists have been arrested nationwide over the past three days as police attempt to tear down and remove their tent cameras and passing classes in denver officers in riot gear used pepper spray and rubber

bullets to disperse the crowds eyewitnesses claim police are manipulating evidence to discredit the protesters. who showed up kind of ready for it you know before the chance we're not at all totally armed to the t.v. and ready for war so to speak and they move very quickly we do know that one protester the infector gentleman was army showed a picture was shot for climbing the tree and those actually we found out afterwards were after it was they're calling and they're like eight bottles filled with a chemical. agent not a river don't see in our few videos one arrest in particular where an officer drove his motorcycle into the crowd this one was kind of tweeted out by the right wing saying look at this guy ritchie a couple of his play probably did a second most anyone else saw you know you watch those and you can clearly tell the dogs or at least the gentleman you see is propelled backwards and then seems to

injure his rate so it really jumps back onto his left foot and then in frustration he gives the founder a show at which point the officer comes to control start ups off the brakes just come down and ask lots. daryn just a moment in the business of kareena but for now the world update here will start with nepal more than one hundred thousand protesters have been arrested in nepal not the staging a demonstration against chinese rule but the exiles gathered for a prayer and began chanting anti china slogans and demanding independence for tibet and the pole is home to tens of thousands of thora who say they will not tolerate any beijing protests. china has successfully launched an unmanned spacecraft from the gobi desert into the country's northwest is expected to join another module within days three hundred forty three kilometers directly above the earth's surface if successful it will be the first chinese talking. by

the launch is considered a milestone in beijing's preparations for its own space station by the end of the decade. massive floods have driven thousands of people to high and dry aground in thailand's capital bangkok now the few residents who refused to leave have been suffering a lack of food and clean water for six days sandbags and other barriers have been used to try and contain the floods they've been caused by heavy monsoon rains and have killed almost four hundred people since june. so i thought is that the news for now but next it's the business with korea. hello welcome to business here and archie with me creating the account good to have you with me global markets have plunged into another round of volatile trading as uncertainty comes rushing back that's after greece's prime minister george papandreou unexpectedly called for a referendum on e.u. plans to bail out the country last week european leaders agreed to hand athens

a one hundred thirty billion euro bailout and a fifty percent write down on its enormous debt analysts say a no vote are staring wary greeks could lead to the end of the country's membership in the eurozone and triggered by default referendum could be held as soon as next january. let's take a look at how the markets are doing this hour or prices are in the red on fresh worries about europe's debt crisis like sweet is trading it's just over ninety dollars a barrel well brant is over one hundred seven dollars a barrel european markets are sinking standing in monday's losses as a greek referendum spurred concern the country may default mining companies are tumbling on lower chinese manufacturing. a sea of red across russia the r.t.s. is down five percent the trading has been suspended on the noise sixty two technical reasons. and capital flight from russia is expected to double by the end of the year to seventy billion dollars the central bank says investors

are leaving emerging nations amid global economic uncertainty the performance is still expected to be better than in two thousand and eight when one hundred thirty billion dollars left russia in the fourth quarter alone the central bank also points out that international reserves are not a not affected by capital flight and exports driven budget surplus will help russia grow its reserves by twenty three billion dollars this year. russia's direct investment fund is going to strike five billion dollars worth of deals by the end of the year that's according to the founder of the funk. says they are now considering around twenty investment projects stephen gager from skolkovo foundation believes it's the right time for russia to attract cash from. what's happened since two thousand and eight and the subsequent issues that are now occurring in europe as well as the situation in the american economy i believe

american investors are taking me a fresh look at russia because they realize that there are problems in mainly emerging economies there are problems in developed economies alike and so russia with a very low debt load and a very strong economy is more attractive than it perhaps was two years ago simply because other parts of the world have developed significant problems are in the meantime. and that's all we have here for the time being but don't forget you can find all stories just log on to our website artie dot com it's.
