news live from moscow city center this is r.t. with me rory sushi and straight to our top story for you here political crisis hit greece is dominating the g twenty meeting in france there were reports that our prime minister was about to resign but now that's all being tonight none of which will help the world's political heavyweights come up with ideas to stop greece collapsing in debt and taking the eurozone with it off he's in the somali now joins us live from can we go on this and he said good to see you we are getting conflicting reports about whether the greek prime minister is about to resign you all there at the g twenty and what can you tell us. it's the same here very much conflicting reports on whether or not the greek prime minister will in fact resign some people saying because of the pressure at that meeting that took place on the eve of this summit between angela merkel nicolas sarkozy the i.m.f. and the european central bank telling him his decision to hold
10:02 am
a referendum on whether or not to make const to receive another bailout would it was a unilateral they pretty much reprimanded him he then defended the right of his conference of scientists eight of their economic situation whether or not they would default stay in the euro zone and now this morning the finance minister of the country already hence that maybe things weren't weren't as clear within his government as it seems when you came and presented the situation to. leaders in the g. twenty leaders saying that the referendum sent in fact have a direct facts on the euro in the greek decision so a lot of different kinds of information coming out not just gives you more proof as to how unstable the situation is in terms of the euro crisis and the currency it's been a real mess and greece this week a lot of different reports the prime minister sacking most of his high ranking military staff rumors of a coup none of that of course has been confirmed so
10:03 am
a lot of people here biting their fingers waiting to see what happens will the greek prime minister resign or not and then what of course does that mean for the country's stability and the euro i mean so let's let's try to focus now on the summit itself or have there been any realistic solutions up before for the european debt crisis or is this just another example another summit political heavyweights to get together enjoy the champagne and really get nothing done. well first it has been said that originally the agenda was supposed to be very wide at this year's summit basically it was hijacked by this sudden developments i think it's fair to say in the euro crisis with that said a lot of the emerging economies this morning there was a brics meeting there president medvedev said that the leaders of those emerging economies agreed that they would come up with their own common strategy towards the girl crisis obviously it doesn't affect them directly as directly as the g. seven per se or most of those european countries but president is made of saying
10:04 am
that russia will support a bailout only if it goes through the i.m.f. but also for years saying that for those concrete solutions to come out of these summits those brics countries the emerging economies have to have more of a say and that's exactly why the g twenty was created critics saying that those changes haven't how been that the emerging economies haven't their voices haven't been heard as much in the very much reflects the atmosphere of the protests just twenty five miles from here thousands of people in nice protesting you have the occupy movement in the states people out on the streets a lot of people saying that these protests are just going to get worse in the us we see concrete results from these kinds of summits. all right caesar and he said that with their life maybe twenty and many things is what i mean time or eurozone leaders have their eyes on the vast fortunes of foster but looking economies like china i wonder if they could all go for a financial crunch so far though beijing is refusing to invest in the european
10:05 am
financial stability fund until uncertainty surrounding greece because when there are some who are concerned the chinese help could come of rather a high price for your. but listen china will likely be asking for some major concessions one route for china's funding of the bailout plan would go through the i am not sure and i am i find that i am a story please when dominated by the united states and european powers and developing countries have long argued for greater voting power and more of a voice and i am so it's possible that china would demand greater voting powers within the ins for having its money go through the i'm off to the euro zone so that's one thing and that of course would diminish the influence of western powers and i am not find another thing that china may ask for is greater opportunities for foreign direct investment into europe and i that means centrally buying companies technology companies and so on and europe and in the last so china will i think you see if china decides to help out the the euro zone in
10:06 am
a crisis china will use every bit of its leverage that it can. and i'm just a little bit later on financial group bucks cars are and coast states you look at the current financial problems through the prism of the past is a preview of what's to come next. and yoko ono were actually watching the kaiser report during their famous bet in one thousand nine hundred sixty nine and you see you know this is a unique perspective not very many people look at this shock 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 of that stock exactly to look at some of the posters on the wall like make love not that now suddenly in the year twenty eleven john and yoko were club oil and they saw john was a visionary he saw the future he knew it was coming. well
10:07 am
seven minutes past the hour here in moscow new reports now coming out of california saying that the police there was during after a series of running battles with occupy movement protesters. clad cops once again deploying to go flash bangs in the rubble i munition old enough to move in trench demonstrations but she's pulled the largest in america remains shut down our correspondent was to cut off that was mauled the same. thing here behind me about about. two hundred three hundred police. for me about ten feet away from me a rather intimidating sight a police officer lined up shoulder to shoulder. just moments ago they should order
10:08 am
for all of the protesters. that anyone that remains in the area regardless of their business here is a potentially record and they said they do have permission to use. agents meaning. the earlier. they probably work about three minutes ago the police. taken over about. territory were literally. police officers. precinct. behind me here and can't we are.
10:09 am
going to be. out. just a short while earlier up to ten thousand demonstrators turned up for oakland's general strike by turning up to voice their displeasure of what they see as unjust practices in the u.s. economy but lucy was also there for that as the event unfolded and she sent us this report. we're here at the port of oakland where the occupy wall street protesters have successfully shut down the porch the crowd you see behind me is gathered here because one of the workers tried to speak through the crowd almost running over several protesters trying to get through the human mind the human barricade the presence or surrounded the car venting them from going he's now backing out a lot of folks here furious thousands of people have gathered here now again at the port of oakland have the fact that we've been shut down in several thousand people have marched from downtown oakland onto this area they shut down all of the gates effectively sending
10:10 am
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 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 the 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 it's sat there like he is that affect the pocketbooks the large corporations that do get noticed i think that protesters will sort of learn a lesson from that or perhaps that and boy that in other areas i reporting from downtown oakland at the port of oakland for our t.v. . and also twitter feed for the latest updates from the city you can read her description of some of the most dramatic events during the protest.
10:11 am
she tells us how the crew was blocked from leaving the pool after filming a car plowing into protesters the whole ending with a public vote on whether to allow them to pass that on much much more on a twitter feed which we will also be retreating. from coming up in just a few minutes here find out why. social networking sites like twitter and facebook are in danger of becoming a surveillance tool for the british government that's coming your way shortly. with r.t. 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. but despite strong opposition from moscow our correspondent maria portnoy has been closely following the story. just one day after deliberations began
10:12 am
a jury of twelve handed down that verdict and the verdict is that they found russian business and businessman victor boot guilty on all the charges that were leveraged against him by the united states those charges include conspiring to kill americans and inspiring to kill u.s. officials trafficking rockets and also he was charged to supplying arms to the revolutionary armed forces of colombia an organization 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. thought very hard to get victor victor boot extradited from thailand to the u.s. over a year ago but that fight with was taking place since mr blewitt was arrested during a sting operation in thailand in march two thousand and eight. has pled not guilty
10:13 am
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 those judge. that the verdict was rendered against the we would be evidence of that we could 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. he's going to report america but russia says it wants to bring victim but home and insists that his extradition to the u.s. was illegal he was flown out of thailand in a military style operation that moscow believes was outside the jurisdiction of u.s. authorities if you go to school tomorrow. russia strongly criticizes the us courts
10:14 am
decision saying that it's a big question into how lawful was it that the us managed to get all the states or in the first place since it was twice that a tight court could not find enough evidence to r.c. write him then all of a sudden it changed its mind just a few hours after that 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 clear boot and this piece on purpose by u.s. media and all this makes russia question the us course objectivity at the moment the foreign ministry says that its main goal is to get to be moved back to russia. so he got this kind of reporting right meantime the investigative journalist and author daniel estulin thinks that it was used as a puppet in a political tug of war between washington and moscow. it was
10:15 am
a part of the international who will be able russia because it was the n.b.a. game russia the only nation in the world that actually stand up to me will probably notice a russian go to the plans of the power who need to actually how where we want to world government or new world order one who accompany when we are called whatever you want them we were just an example would be has actually been done against russia's interests across the world the idea of the loser will abuse of us mere will actually get access to weapons being under the rebellion the american government is called out bootable those occasionally are after of course he was never really k.g.b. officer but the early years of that hugely arcs are going to give us those are only words unless are always in which case obviously the insinuation of the writer would actually help and stock lie with weber's we basically puts russia in the same camp or the iran north korea are who were is whether it's iraq or syria or neutral i'm for sure who's up for his international game or who is he has come to an end. and we far more on another celebrated international legal wrangle that of wiki
10:16 am
leaks founder julian assange on our website r.t. dot com you can find many many details there as well find out how his mother has been driven to just spared by the latest news from the u.k. courts that he is to be extradited to sweden she says unless his homeland of australia steps and extradition to the u.s. is inevitable. and halloween surprise protesters in ukraine supporting convicted ex prime minister yulia timoshenko they all take a long pumpkins as they try to storm the countries. of the can be aware of the bad so certainly hungry bears are they find themselves on the russian roads as they forage for food asking the nearby commuters for food and drink for storing party time.
10:17 am
sixteen minutes past the hour here in australia without saying the arab league has announced it's reached a deal with syria on easing the country's long running political crisis that agreement urges damascus to immediately withdraw security forces from the streets release jailed demonstrators and start dialogue with the opposition syria also agreed to allow rights groups and arab league watchdogs into the country and the u.s. still says it wants to see president assad resign independent journalist james called it says the western focus on syria is actually part of a much bigger game. given the fact that assad said well at any rate seems to have signed on to the need to deal quite quickly but the fact that it's already been reneged on by the western powers seems to indicate that the empty promises are all on the side of the the nato forces again to have the very same forces that were interested in getting into libya so i don't when we have to assume that if there
10:18 am
are any empty promises here it's coming from the western side and it seems to be just an attempt to really beat assad into something where if you have to see which do you speak the obvious answer from the needle in intervention aside would be to proceed with the u.n. security council resolution route which would then justify further intervention probably of the military sort of with syria what we're looking at is a strategic or a strategic area which is a perfect place for launching a further result into iran and i think if if the end game of this is a random seriously stepping stone towards that with r.t. the russians bulletin is about five minutes away but for now now the british government has blamed social networking sites for spreading unrest in germany 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 but as artists laura smith reports is a risky game that may breach the vital bond of trust. between young people and
10:19 am
social workers. the reality of life in east london young teens take part in a workshop on gun violence but the government laid the blame for august riots firmly at the door of gangs one london council is talking about making youth workers by on their members and monitor their social network activities anything suspicious would be passed to a special anti gang unit but the m.p. for hackney where some of the worst on record to place says it's not the technology to play in. this country the plot when there was no internet and there was no. text message so it is not since. the real causes of riots rather than blaming the messenger and that's the real possibility it will backfire for some young people biggest club is a safe haven in an uncertain world and message monitoring could undermine the
10:20 am
impatient relationship between youth and vulnerable teen making it less likely to turn to them in a crisis and more susceptible to guide. 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 as far as proposing shutting down the services while two men were jailed for four years each for inciting writing on facebook but teens say spying risks isolating the very people they're trying to help if that happens then people. used to stop and think there 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 was cost hundreds of thousands of pounds to enforce could. cost the trust and goodwill of the thing

you. concerned about. party london twenty past the hour here in moscow time for the international was not right for you here r.t. and over twelve hundred passengers of a ferry the caught fire in the red sea of all are being rescued however one person has been confirmed dead and twelve others severely injured started shortly after the ship left the jordanian port of aqaba on its way to egypt passengers were evacuated on life rafts and other ships that went to the disaster site after the first s.o.s. was sent most of those on board were said to be egyptian workers returning home for the muslim holiday or even now that's starting on sunday. to un mandate chinese spacecraft have successfully docked in orbit brings the country one step closer to launching its own space station plan for twenty twenty. eight was launched on tuesday reached orbit right on shuttle china started its own program for
10:22 am
a space hub after it was rejected in its attempts to join the international space station. ok are you with r.t. live from moscow let's now join kareena for the business. that we welcome to our business our to the south thanks for joining me president meets with video says russia's accession to the world trade organization will help to liberalize trade and investments clovelly president made a statement at the g. twenty meeting in cannes just hours after russia finally cleared the way to join the trade club i said saying all remaining issues with georgia and i suppose live to r.t.c. go abroad for the latest hellos here again he goes so after eighteen years of trying to join the world trade organization is this really. it looks like this is for any and for russia for many years that russia has been the biggest economy that's outside of the w t o and so eighteen years of these negotiations
10:23 am
publications russia has been close occasionally and has struggled to go ahead with certain big partners such as the usa on other occasions the new members with whom with the troubles for any seeding detail and also many have questioned over these eighteen years russia's own desire to always join the w t o o occasions that russia has wanted to protect its own industries and has been dubious about all of the benefits of course over the last few years georgia has been the biggest obstacle and obstacle is of course not just economic but political as well in nature and the topas is harder to de facto independent breakaway republics south of setia and because georgia refuses to recognize these places as independent it's not at that wanted to supervise the border between these countries and russia thought it wanted to access to this border and this is something that neither russia nor these countries are prepared to give for any deal was negotiated by swiss mediators over the past few months and it's a good way georgia and russia have accepted so this is really the key step to
10:24 am
letting this happen in terms of what will happen next some have predicted entire world bank has said that in the long term russia's economy looks to benefit by as much as ten percent extra grow as a result of this but of course it's very difficult to put an exact number on the effects of the w t o we will have to wait for a few years until we actually see them but many experts already welcomed the thought of this is likely to make russia's industries much more competitive and desiring to actually want to compete with the world markets after russia is going to be an adult leader so i will still worry that in fact say the car making history in russia my dial together or at least not be able to compete with the international producers most experts are saying that on the whole this is a good thing now in terms of the practicalities there is going to be another round of negotiations in about ten days and then if ever. the thing is ok by mid december russia will be a dog riggio member of this does happen to reap a harvest considered one of the greatest achievements of president read of
10:25 am
presidency ok thanks very much it was our goal of reporting about russia's future access and speedy accession suitably it's here now to other stories it could be game over for greece in the euro if the people decide not to back the bailout package in the referendum expected early december and a warning from france's president sarkozy at the g. twenty summit will do little to reassure the markets which are pinning hopes on a global effort to combat that. the european package that was announced at the provided some security markets i think most people recognize that what you need to see from will follow up on its own is not going to stop the crisis is a good start but there's a lot of details that need to be filled in and in particular i think what markets would really like to see is if this is part of some sort of quarter of a global. reach of what is now a global crisis and it's mostly based in europe right now you see the implications
10:26 am
on global so if the g twenty is able to come up with some statements that make it look like the world is supporting europe and i think that would be very positive. and let's have a look at the markets now oil prices a mix lice wheat is trading at over ninety two dollars a barrel while grant is at one hundred and nine dollars per barrel markets in the u.s. are flat to positive this hour after a strong start at the opening and european stocks are losing some of their early against but us still trading in the black the european central bank has unexpectedly cut the benchmark interest rates a one and a quarter percent going the risks of greek euro exit cable and wireless communications was the top gain their shares up eleven percent in london after its results were well received here in moscow markets are mixed in evening trading the last day of the week on friday the russian forces will be closed for a public holiday let's take a look at some of the individual shareholders otherwise it's the sour gas has back
