rescue payout for athens until a referendum on whether the greeks even want to be saved has passed he said he said . if you go across developments of the g twenty and he said good to see you gloomy weather gloomy mood what's the atmosphere like where you are. well in fact i was just going to talk about the weather i think president medvedev said it right on the dot when he was spoke at the business g twenty he said the mood here in camp is very much like the weather it looks nice it's warm but it's much more complicated it's not that simple and of course that is after the euro crisis basically took over the candy twenty after the bombshell from the greek prime minister that the country would hold a referendum on whether or not to make contact and accept the latest batch of money which is very heavily being pushed by germany and france on the eve of the summit he was summoned by angela merkel and nicolas sarkozy sat down with the i.m.f. as well and the european central bank and they told him his decision was unilateral that the country can go ahead and hold this referendum but they will get no pass

unless they make those cuts and of course the greek people out on the streets for over a year they don't want those costs to go through what if the no vote happens what then happens to the euro that's what people are talking about the leaders are talking about of course over this two day summit a big question though how much can get done at the g twenty and what about the emerging economies that won't be directly affected by the euro and what their issues to be brought up as well indeed in. just a moment ago what really can be done what can be achieved at the summit of course as you know the g. twenty is an annual happens every year two thousand and eleven alone we've had multiple e.u. member meetings as well about the eurozone crisis we've had protests across the eurozone we've had protests ongoing with occupy wall street all we really being serious and we think any major initiatives going to come out of this g. twenty summit this year. well that's the interesting thing it's always been a debate let's not forget the g twenty was created in the midst. the height of the

two thousand and eight financial crisis in order to spread the power to not just be the world's richest seven nations the g the g seven making the big decisions emerging economies saying we need to change and completely remodel the global financial system and that's exactly what these occupy protesters are saying that's exactly what people in greece are saying across europe but will they be heard analysts we've been speaking to have been saying that the g twenty cannot keep up these security walls of course that just a symbol for the fact that they need to hear that people are things are going to get much much worse are protests meanwhile taking place a nice about twenty five miles away from canada where security of course is very high tens of thousands of people out on the streets in the rain hoping that their voices will be heard but many critics say they don't think it's going to happen this time around and the protests will continue all right aussies and he said i would live for the annual g. twenty thank you. but i mean talking eurozone leaders will have their eyes on the

fortunes of foster developing economies like china wondering if it could offer a financial crunch so if all the beijing is refusing to invest in the european financial stability fund until surrounding greece is removed and there are some who are concerned that chinese help could come at a high price for europe. it looks like china will likely be asking for some major concessions one route for china's funding of the bailout fund would go through the i am asked for an i.m.f. lines now the i.m.f. historically has been dominated by the united states and european powers and developing countries of long argued for greater voting power and more of a voice in the i.m.f. so it's possible that china would demand greater voting powers within the i.m.f. for having its money go through them after the euro zone and so that's one thing and that of course would diminish the influence of western powers in that and not find another thing that china may ask for is greater opportunities for foreign

direct investment into europe and i that means sensually buying companies technology companies and so on and europe and the west so china will i think if china decides to help out the help out the euro zone in a crisis china will use every bit of its leverage that it can. on the program here at r.t. financial guru max keiser and co-host stacy hope but look at the current financial problems through the prism of the past but here's a quick preview of what's coming your way at three thirty pm g.m.t. . john and yoko ono were actually watching the kaiser report during their famous bed in in one thousand nine hundred sixty nine and you see you know this is a unique perspective not very many people look at this shot from that time but as you can see they were also saying all we are saying is let the banks fail and kaiser karma at the time nobody thought to look at the full three sixty you have that shot exactly to look at some of the posters on the wall like make love not

dead now suddenly in the year two thousand and eleven john and yoko were clever boy and they saw john was a visionary he saw the future he knew it was coming. he without new reports coming out of oakland california say that police there are withdrawing after a series of running battles with occupy movement protesters riot gear clad cops once again deployed tear gas flash bangs and rubber ammo all in an effort to move entrenched demonstrators but the city's port the fifth largest in america remains shut down correspond to lucy tough enough has more from the scene. as you can hear behind me a crowd of about fifty occupy wall street protesters. as about two

hundred three hundred police officers in full riot gear standing before me about ten feet away from me a rather intimidating sight oh there is a police officer lined up shoulder to shoulder about four rows just moments ago they had issued an order for all of the protesters to just over a loudspeaker they had also said that anyone that remains in the area regardless of their business here is a potentially under the threat of arrest and they said that they do have permission to use. the word so agents meaning here yes and possibly. clash of the bullets at the smell of tear gas is still permeating the air of the earlier question that we saw basically what happened about three minutes ago the police officers marched down taking over about. tory literally at the line. and the officers one of the police officers pulled a metro train. recently. behind me are you hearing chants

that we are told. was critically injured in the standoff with the lobby here how the hell of things but it does look like the police officers are going to be marching broadly where we're standing to reclaim the base and push the closer to the south. i know just about idea to ten thousand demonstrators time opens a general strike to voice the displeasure of what i see as a just practices in the u.s. economy lucy was also there for that as those events unfolded she sent us this report. we're here at the port of oakland where the occupy wall street protesters have successfully shut down the ports for the crowd you see behind me is gathered here because one of the workers tried to speed through the crowd almost running over several protesters trying to get through the human line the human barricade the protesters surrounded the car then to them from going he's now backing out but a lot of folks here are furious thousands of people have gathered here now again at

the port of oakland has effectively been shut down and several thousand people marched from downtown oakland onto this area they shut down all of the gates effectively sending a warning shot they say to the so-called one percent of the corporate owners of the ports trying to hurt the the top of the to where it hurts the most in the pocket in the economic sense whether or not this these kinds of tactics are going to be repeated at other occupy wall street movements remains to be seen and i think that at the very least it's going to be a new tool in the arsenal of the occupy wall street movement sort of the power that folks have to organize on short notice and to take out these kinds of actions that you know can't really be ignored regardless of whether you stand for or against this issue itzhak that's likely is that affect the pocketbooks of the large corporations that do get noticed i think that protesters will sort of learn a lesson from that or perhaps employ that in other areas reporting from downtown oakland at the port of oakland for our t.v.

. you can also check out lucy's twitter feed for the latest updates from the city or you can read a description of some of the most dramatic events during protest. tells us how the crew was blocked from leaving the pool building a cop falling through protesters all ending with a public vote on whether to let all. that and much much more inclusive twitter feed when we will also be tweeting on the school. also coming up in a few minutes funny how the white social networking site. like twitter and facebook are in danger of becoming a surveillance tool for the british government that's coming your way shortly. ten minutes past the hour here in moscow a russian businessman victor boot faces a life sentence after a new york jury found him guilty of agreeing to sell arms to terrorists and conspiring to kill americans he was arrested in thailand in two thousand and eight

after a sting operation and was eventually extradited to the u.s. despite strong opposition from moscow. has been closely following the story. just one day after deliberations began a jury of twelve handed down that verdict and the verdict is that they found a russian businessman businessman victor boot guilty on all the charges that were leveraged against him by the united states and those charges include conspiring to kill americans and inspiring to kill u.s. officials trafficking rockets and also he was charged with supplying arms to the revolutionary armed forces of colombia an organization that the united states deems as terrorists now this this trial of victor boot went on for about three weeks but his presence here in the united states has garnered a lot of attention as we've been reporting the u.s. fought very hard to get victor victor boot extradited from thailand to the

u.s. over a year ago but that fight was was taking place since mr who was arrested during a sting operation in thailand in march two thousand and eight. has pled not guilty on all the charges and he still maintains his innocence his attorney albert diane did speak to the press following today's events that took place in court so this is not the end that he still has a chance that we have a chance to will again we can appeal to this judge. that the verdict was rendered against the weight of the evidence that we can also proceed to the united states court of appeals but we are disappointed at this verdict now that he's been found guilty on these charges he faces a sentence of anywhere between twenty five years and life in prison. right now russia says it wants to bring victim back home and insists that his extradition to the u.s. was illegal and he was flown out of thailand in a military style operation that moscow believes was outside the jurisdiction of

u.s. authorities. europe is going off now as details. russia strongly criticizes the us courts decision saying that it's a big question into how lawful was it that the us managed to get rid of all is to tory in the first place since it was twice that a thai court could not find enough evidence to extradite him then all of a sudden it changed its mind and just a few hours after that it was on a plane headed to the us back in two thousand and ten and the foreign ministry here in moscow says that this was a result of political pressure applied on thailand by washington it also claims that a negative image has been created around the to the boot in this case on purpose by u.s. media and all this makes a russia question of the e.u.'s course objectivity at the moment the foreign ministry says that its main goal is to get to the boot back to russia. you're going to. investigative journalist and author daniel estulin things the boot was used as

a puppet and i political tug of war between washington and moscow. it actually is a part of the international global game where russia basically is the end game russia is the only nation in the world to actually stand up to enable the united states aggression and it'll plans all the power who we need to actually have her be the one world government or new world order one of our company limited called whatever you want them to do is just an example of what is actually being done against russia's interests across the world the idea of the actual abuse of the smear will actually get access to weapons being and of course there would be in the american government it's called our mutual those could be officer of course it was never really if you officer but the idea is that a huge b r us are going to discredit any weapons unless a bar or regime of this case obviously the insinuation of the writer would actually help them and stock lie with the weapons we basically puts russia in the same council that ran north korea are cuba is a way that the story and i'm for sure who's up for his international game for sure

this game in his case has come to an end. and then we've got more on another into international the celebrated legal wrangle better but i think the wiki leaks founder julian assange opens with us over on our website or that's what we're talking dot com to find the latest details there find out how his mother has been driven to despair by the latest news from the u.k. court that he is to be extradited to sweden she says unless his homeland of australia steps in extradition to the u.s. is a. plus beware of the bears have a look here hunger has driven them to russian road to say forage for food find the full story at art's he thought.

i'm. now it's sixteen minutes past the hour here in the russian capital the arab league has announced it's reached a deal. syria on easing the country's long running political crisis the agreement urges damascus to immediately withdraw all security forces from the streets release jailed demonstrators and start dialogue with the opposition by syria has also agreed to allow rights groups and arab league watchdogs into his country but the u.s. meantime still says it wants to see president assad step down for more on this we're now joined by independent journalist james corbett in japan who's been closely covering the story good to see you so president assad appears to have agreed to all of the arab league demands but still western countries are putting the pressure on why do you think that is. well i think what we're seeing here is a coordinated agenda it's really just the unfolding of a template that we've seen used a number of times in the past including the quite recent past which is to use humanitarian rights groups as a sort of a front or

a cover for destabilizing the regime and we saw that quite quite literally happening with libya for people who were following what happened there the u.n. human rights council in january of two thousand and eleven was praising libya for its stance on human rights and in february a group of seventy n.g.o.s got together to file a letter basically protesting what with gadhafi the government and within a few days the u.n. human rights council convened a special session in which they condemned libya and i think we see a similar pattern happening here where these human rights groups are being used as a way of funneling stories to the media that there's no way to attribute them there's no way to verify them there's no way to know whether or not these events are really happening at all and the latest example in fact it's just breaking now is that apparently they're trying to to say that they're the cease fire has already been broken by syria syrian troops firing on citizens and it and we're already hearing that it is interesting how you draw the comparison between libya and syria

i knew you raise the issue of these are human rights groups and these so-called human rights campaigns and i'll any of these reports come out actually legitimate of course as we know that the whole u.n. resolution one hundred seventy three on libya was all about protecting civilians and also how far that went now some other countries in the region might be quite happy to see regime change in syria talking to regional powers here if indeed they are assad to be removed what would be the ground apply in all this do you think well i think we see probably a similar thing playing out here as we as we did in libya which was to really take over the resources of the country but more than that i think with syria what we're looking at is the strategic strategic area which is a perfect place for launching. for the result into iran i think if if the endgame of this is a random syria's the stepping stone towards that which is what i think we have to keep our eye on in all of this but but on only the point of the human humanitarian rights groups we have

a london based syrian observatory for human rights which is claiming to be the ceasefire has been broken and this was the same group that back in august but it seems to have started spreading a story about incubated incubator babies in syria being harmed when electricity was cut off in the city of hama and again we see that has a direct parallels to the or the iraq war back in one thousand nine hundred one with the incubator baby story that turned out to be delivered by the kuwaiti investors daughter although no one knew that at the time and that was one of the key events ramping up the american intervention in iraq in one thousand nine hundred one and then we see this story which turned out not to have any basis it was again an unattributed and there were pictures circulated that turned out to be taken in egypt of all places had nothing to do with syria so we see this these types of organizations again and again coming up with these allegations and it seems to me that this is heading towards a type of set up for a wide scale intervention that the public otherwise wouldn't have any reason for

being behind we had a story just just a couple of months ago from the region where a lady according to human rights groups had been taken by security forces and that decapitated and then weeks later she she suddenly appeared on media saying well this is all untrue here i am and my head's perfectly intact now the syrian president has agreed to move government troops from the streets but as we as we know many of the protesters are quite well armed how do you think authorities are supposed to prevent the violence without further violence well that's a particularly good question and i wish it was one that more media was asking because one of the untold assumptions in all of this is that the protesters are somehow peacefully protesting and that there is no violence coming from their side of it which i think is categorically untrue and has been shown to be untrue by the fact that. syrian forces themselves are being shot at so so clearly there are there are armed protesters here this is not just some peaceful benign movement in a game like in libya where we saw the well funded and well. supported rebels taking over in libya will we see that happening again through covert means here with

covert supplies going to the syrian opposition and that came out earlier this year that in fact that the u.s. state department has been funding the syrian opposition for for years so again we see the exact same pattern ramping up and and again on the case of building up stories that just were completely untrue we saw again in libya with the the story of gadhafi forces being having their fuelled rape sessions which again turned out to be another completely contrived story with no basis and the i.c.c. eventually had to drop that from their request for an arrest warrant so so again we see that and unfortunately now we see this straying into the nuclear field with the latest being that that supposedly connections have been turned up between syria and the a.q. khan nuclear network which we all know was supported and funded and protected from the by the cia from the one nine hundred seventy s. onward and that comes straight from the dutch economic foreign minister who lumbers so what we're doing is we're also hearing the same time that it's

a nuclear facility enormous area for the past two decades has been used as a cotton mill but i wish we had more time editor of the independent news website colbert report dot com thank you thank you. the british government has blamed social networking sites for spreading unrest during the august riots across england in an attempt to prevent similar trouble in the future one part of london is now proposing to monitor online activity at youth centers laura smith reports it's a risky game that may breach the vital bond of trust between young people and social workers. the reality of life in east london young teens take part in a workshop on gang violence with the government laying the blame for all ghosts riots firmly at the door of gangs one london council is talking about making youth workers spy on their members and monitor their social network activities and anything suspicious would be passed to a special anti gang unit but the m.p.

for hackney west some of the worst on rest place says it's not the technology to blame when you had drugs in this country in the twelve when there was no internet and there was no. text message so it is not so that's you know time with the real causes of riots rather than blaming the messenger and there's a real possibility it will backfire for some young people being used to help is a safe haven in and around the world and message monitoring could undermine the engagement relationship between you and vulnerable teens making it less likely to turn to them in a crisis and more susceptible to getting overtures and ultimately crying and violence during the riots social networks like twitter and blackberry messenger were used by rioters to pinpoint the next location in marked for destruction the government went to spar is proposing shutting down the services while two men were

jailed for four years each for inciting rioting on facebook but teens say spying risks isolating the very people they're trying to help if that happens don people. use these type of things that are undoubtedly social issues and solving them requires walking a fine line between coming down hard on troublemakers and preserving civil liberties for everyone but it's clear that this measure which would cost hundreds of thousands of pounds to enforce could also cost the trust and goodwill of the same risk youths the author of jesus so concerned about laura smith r.t. london. twenty five minutes past the hour. welcome to business here in r.t. thanks for joining me in our top story this hour after almost two decades of negotiations russia now looks to have its foot in the door of the world trade
