confidence vote from parliament but the situation in the country remains far from clear george public is now holding talks to form a temporary governing coalition and promise to step down if necessary. reports from the greek capital. there's a lot of confusion about what that coalition government is going to look like we saw the passenger and his governments and by that called this nation in parliaments in the early hours of the morning it was very very close it was always going to be it was a way of decisions but no changes really everyone still waiting to see what the details of this will fade and as we said before the devil really is in the details and so a lot of uncertainty still remains about was going to happen now moving forward to help guide us a bit see this political quagmire i'm joined by. professor of economics at athens university. it's very uncertain what's going to happen now can you tell us a bit more about what the politicians are doing and we've heard

a lot of people saying that playing political games can they afford to do that is such a critical point the big picture is not what happened in greece is what happened yes the g twenty when they couldn't agree on anything so not agreeing on anything means that austerity packages will continue as the only policy coming out of the euro zone the pressure on politicians of the central issue center right because of the stereotype measures is that the leader of the right wing party wants quick elections so he could do well and not be implicated in any of your stereo to package as we've had so far were asked up and drove a leader of the center left party doesn't want quick elections because he's deeply implicated in these policies and wants a national government a government of national unity so the responsibility for the austerity package is shared with if you learn we say there is one missing actor in this and that is the people of greece who have been demonstrating for the last six months from the

street and really i see no solution that doesn't at least meet some of their demands for your stereotype recession more austerity measures vicious cycle being removed somehow. tented and political leaders actually addressing the social needs of the people in this country and indeed of european people really is a very valid point what a lot of people are talking about here today is that is the missing ingredient the public opinion here very very disappointed at the end i don't think yesterday at the what we see him playing out in the last week really as he said that message of uncertainty at a time when what everyone was hoping for was a unified front for some decisive action and that's not what we're saying it's all and of course moving forward the situation looking on increasingly unstable ground . and coming up later in the program of fighting the evil india's economy has done little more than deepen the gap between rich and poor making some resort to drastic

measures. now there are widespread concerns that u.s. police are becoming increasingly heavy handed in breaking up the corporate occupy protests that have gripped the country for nearly two months now officers used force to disperse a demo in the u.s. capitol and take down tents three activists were struck by a car but the driver wasn't charged now in the californian city of oakland police ghassan but tons of protesters arrested more than one hundred several people were seriously injured including a u.s. on the veteran it's the second incident of police brutality the city has seen in two weeks and meanwhile in york where the occupy movement began protesters camped out as a party are bracing themselves for a showdown. to find out what authorities in the big apple have in store for. the occupy wall street movement has cemented its presence here in zuccotti park for nearly eight weeks but now many believe that the city will try to evacuate

demonstrators under the pretext of crime new york city mayor michael bloomberg is now accusing these activists of the danger in the entire community saying they are failing to report crimes that are taking place here the activists here say that they try to police minor infractions but when it comes to very serious crime or violence these activists say they do take to the police some media outlets have also learned that it is actually the police officers some at least that have encouraged criminals and people to come down to the park in an effort to stir up some trouble the n.y.p.d. denied those accusations we did speak with a few of the high. hundreds of activists that are down here and here's what they had to say my experience has been that i've been safe here and i feel safe here but

i think that you know the mayor is costing big screen time that aren't haven't been reported what are those crimes that you think the mayor is probably gearing up to make another attempt to turn the us from the park simply because someone walks into the park doesn't mean that they're part of the movement a lot of these out with that even critical of us characterize anyone who is within you know a mile radius of this place as a protester and therefore reflective of our movement but as you can see anyone can come in here and that's fine you know we want to welcome people in but certainly because someone destructive doesn't mean they reflect what we're doing or that we promote what they're doing princeton professor and activist up there cornell west who's been a huge supporter of the occupation movement was down here in zuccotti park r.t. had a chance to catch up with him to get his thoughts on what mayor bloomberg has recently said i just think he's grown under your idea to try to come up with a rationalization with another convincing reason do you think there's anything criminal about you know dangerous about this encampment that it might think every section of new york city has a day then. what it is they have

a human community every human community has something still supporting them oh my god yes one hundred twenty it was it overall though all the activists that we have spoken with today say they feel as safe today as they have felt since day one of these occupy wall street movement they say the momentum is growing bigger it's growing louder it's growing larger and they are here to stay reporting from wall street marina r.t. . well our correspondent lisa caffein office also covering the occupy protesters had to artie's twitter stream for more well who she was asked to see as police weigh them to break up the latest protest in washington log on to her twitter feed for full coverage of the incident including photos and videos. from one of the bad. driving the occupy movement is an increased tax on the rich that could help bolster the us budget a little later this hour we find out what some yorkers thing. as people get

wealthier higher percentage of the think they are going up until it's now certain point worse as you get even wealthier you want even more glory harford mistakes of the streets of the big apple to gauge public opinion will stay with our team for the full result in just a few minutes. now for people who want to play their part of the occupy movement but don't feel like hitting the streets saturday is the day to act it's officially bank transfer day and move your money day both of which aim to deprive the big banks of their customers well let's cross to freelance writer kimberly thorpe in the u.s. now for some insight kimberly well first of all how does this financial movement work what is it that people are being asked to do well today is bank transfer day and not started by an artist in los angeles and it's a spin on a movement that's called move your money that has been going on for the last couple of years in the first three months of moving our money some five billion dollars in

accounts were transferred today over eighty one thousand people have pledged their support to go to their banks and move their money to a credit union a smaller court time but within a few days we should see how successful this move the movement was or ninety one eighty one thousand you set of pledged by surely i mean the big banks there really may be simply too big to be hurt by a few people closing their economy eighty one thousand from their perspective that's still not much isn't it well it isn't it isn't i mean i think that in september bank of america announced a five dollars fee on debit cards and. people were outraged this is when people started moving their money credit unions have reported some six hundred fifty thousand new members in september that's four point five billion. dollars deposit in just the past month so bank of america then decided they weren't going to do the

five dollar transfer fee although you know we're still waiting to see what exactly is going to happen and people are so outraged with the big banks that they're committing no matter what their money and so you know eighty one thousand people is significant and move you're the occupy movement has pledged to get behind the bank transfer day one hundred percent so it's ten o'clock over here but within a half hour the occupy boston movement should start partly i just wanted to ask you you mentioned the bank of america example there so they did go back on on what they had planned but if for example if the banks do lose or costumers and perhaps are made to act the way the bank america did want others to grow at their expense and step in to replace them so it's like a cycle. bank of america right now owns the majority of our assets in this country so stepping up to replace. bank of america would be difficult i think the smaller banks you know have

a lot to gain ok and you know yeah sorry i just wanted to jump in about an article that you had written praising a man who says no one's ever gone to hell for not paying a debt but don't you think that's somewhat of a call for financial and arkie there. yes i think there are progressive and productive ways to fight the power to speak and then there are less productive ways however everybody you know it's captured their imagination it can't be captured by what would really happen if i were to walk away from thousands of dollars in debt you know a lot of us are underwater our homes are worth much less than they were when we bought them and the you know our whole entire economy has been built on credit. just walking away from your debt is something that really captures your imagination and steve kappes who was the person from the article what he did was have you know

rack up some eighty thousand dollars on credit card debt and then move to china where you can be you know extra is not going to responsible behavior though to just have more debt america already has a lot of debt and then just walking away from your debt is not really responsible though well one of the things that steve katz did before kind of you know going to extreme measures to prove his point or just to be irresponsible you could paint it that way as well is encourage people to just kind of start to fight back so if your kind of on the receiving end of harassing phone calls people threatening to take your car from your driveway and you can't drive your son to work you know that there are we there are ways to fight back you know a lot of businesses small businesses when they go into business part of their business plan if it doesn't work out they can file for bankruptcy a lot of people you know over the last you know hundreds of years have come to see their debt as a moral obligation something that you absolutely if you don't pay are

a bad person and cats in the beginning you know this was some five years ago started by just starting a website to teach people ways to not feel that way just one more i'd like to ask you i mean these are you the eighty one thousand you were talk. about i pursued a lot of ordinary americans and when people choose bags they kind of have to look at the reliability of the banks and big banks i mean they've proved to be pretty reliable. switching to a smaller one too much of a gamble from an individual point of view no it's not as long as it's. insured f.d.i.c insured you should be. ok let's quickly just turn to the occupy movement and we're seeing the police step up there a crackdown of peaceful protesters i'm just very quickly your opinion on this wire authorities appearing to take such a hard line i think the police need to figure out also a more productive way to respond to this extreme go local movement i mean we've seen it go to local movement in food politics with the tea party occupy boston bank

transfer day you know there's just a surge and populous right now and i think the police should find a more productive way to deal with it kate thank you very much kimberly thorpe there talking to us live from boston thank you thank you. now in russia a massive election campaign is now in full swing with seven parties competing for seats in the do my the country's lower house of parliament candidates have until december third to move voters with on air debates and enticing advertising on t.v. and the print media. reports now on the race. the next thirty days old t.v. sets in russia will be talking politics politics and politics you know the word. labor the rule of the people and socialism it's what freedom solidarity and justice and free sanctuary some of. the russian.

president should be the sole ruler in the caucuses we have to eliminate the clan culture in this region and introduce curfews in some areas video surveillance is a must. while just russia comes up with a robin hood plan to help the poor with the money of the reach for the moment reform number one is fighting poverty and introducing tax on luxury business and country should brief really all about the what the log there had been another runner in this race lobbying for both small and big businesses billionaire me hope rocker of hopes were high he would create a powerful lobby for western minded liberals in parliament proper of himself was even considering running for president for the compay face. it failed because of crocodiles personality he thought that to run a party is the same as to run a business this is a strategic mistake he considered other party members had been with the right cause much longer than him not as team mates as his subordinates and they responded by

ousting him with all their might cause will take part in the vote but it's listed among outsiders one month ahead of the actions polls suggest you not a russia will gain at least forty three percent. and of the votes coming second our communists would fourteen percent the liberal democrats will secure at least nine percent for the other four parties it will be largely about how they perform in t.v. debates and to secure it policed one seat in the duma they will have to overcome a five percent threshold to mention it very for has the united russia party his list has even put his political future on the table saying he's toast as the country's prime minister could depend on how well the party reforms and the election booths prime minister putin is also backing united russia and has even become somewhat of a trademark of the party over the years they've chosen december's don't elections will each receive a sparking new t.v.

hitting several targets including at the local police precinct and several churches so far there have been no claims of responsibility for the attack and this follows a military headquarters in neighboring borno state being rocked by a triple suicide bombing that was blamed on the islamist group boko haram. in colombia troops have killed a top rebel commander delivering another severe blow to latin america's longest running guerrilla insurgency alfonso cano died during a military air and ground assault and the reward of nearly four million dollars was offered for information leading to his capture the sixty three year old took over leadership of the rebels in two thousand and eight after the death of its co-founder. one of the top u.s. commanders in afghanistan has been sacked for making disparaging comments about the afghan political leadership general peter fuller said of president karzai and his staff were quote isolated from reality washington's been quick to dismiss the statement as a personal opinion that doesn't reflect u.s.

afghan relations the incident comes as foreign troops are gradually withdrawing from the country having control over to afghan forces. and in india a massive rescue operation is underway for fifteen construction workers kidnapped by maist rebels it's the latest attack by insurgents who want to establish communism in the country well they say they're fighting for the rural poor have been left out of india's big city economic boom. has this story. these are the images people recognize when they think of india as maoist rebels for almost twenty five years the group has attempted to overthrow the government in violence and intimidation to turn india into a communist society in their eyes the government is not taking any interest in the indigenous people of rural india the government has called the maoists the single biggest security threat to india and it's hold them responsible for displacing and killing thousands of civilians but far from the jungles of india

a new maoist revolution is brewing like the movement in the rural areas this one is also anti-establishment but is largely focused on overthrowing multinational companies and development the maoist argue that the arrival of multinational companies here is actually caused a further divide between rich and poor are they want to stay in india without the presence of quote unquote dominating western companies were everyone has access to basic right meat varvara the brains behind the uprising the highly educated man is in most senses the opposite of his counterparts in the jungle armed with a pen and paper and sitting in his relatively modern flat in hyderabad rao is seen as the intellectual leader of the maoists and a voice for a growing group of indians against globalization if the investment is from the.

the russia simulated round trip to mars has successfully concluded after an eighteen month long test to see how a crew might cope with a long space flight with a massive experiment was carried out without ever leaving moscow artie's peter all over and tom barton watched the mission and met the volunteers who spent over five hundred days in isolation. after five hundred twenty twenty days of this trip around. we are proud today to to prove that humanity can go to mass this is experiment to see basically the psychological effects a trip to mars would have on the crew and how they would work together inside such a facility now those that took part in this are looking to be part of future martian missions this overhaul operation was an international cooperative mission the russian space agency working with the european space agency to put this

experiment into into practice now the crew itself was made up from people from all around the world three of them were russian there was representatives from china as well as from france and central america who will find out a little bit what it's like on the scene where the mars five hundred module is we can now cross to tom barton who is there tom what's going on where you are well peter i remember on june the third last year watching this door behind me shot seals and that was the start of the five hundred twenty days which ended when i watched them the door open at last after all that time and the crew emerged little bit white faced a little bit bleary eyed into work and to a cheering crowd after all that time they all stood together in front of microphones and they said how glad they were to work with their other crew members and to have got through what is really quite a feat of an jurors really to be in relation and with a very strict routine day in day out for all that time i remember seeing some

bookmakers a quick eight to one of us on that one of the crew going insane as a result of this experiment that hasn't materialized and i think they can now look forward to the deep brief period free of all those tensions. on the rise the occupy protest movements grip the you. yes for a second month opinions are divided over some of its aims one of them is a tax hike for rich americans who demonstrators are blaming for the economic downturn laurie harshness has been on the streets of new york to ask whether people there agree. the general public has been vilifying the very rich lately so what does the public consider too much money this week let's talk about that more than a million too much money yeah if someone has more than a million should they pay more in taxes yes they absolutely should yes i want too

much money so i'm not going to answer. those ten million too much too much for too much when the limit when millions enough to have would say if people make more than a million dollars and they have bet on their bank account should they be forced to give back a moral or a moral and doubts in general interestingly i saw once that the to answer the question do you have enough money the curve goes like this as your wealth increases so people who don't have a lot feel that they don't have enough as they as people get wealthier a higher percentage of the think they have enough until they pass a certain point whereas as you get even wealthier you want even more so if you made ten million dollars i would give some of it away it's too much money are people that don't give it away and have that much in the wrong i guess it's a personal decision i just think that if you make that much money you could share it with someone that doesn't have so much should they be forced to through taxes

like they do in scandinavia maybe so because sometimes if you don't force someone to do something and are going to do it no matter how much wealth you consider to be obscene the bottom line is when it comes to money it's hard for anyone to not want just a little bit more. and i'll be back with a recap of today's headlines for softer a short break. those
