top stories from r t the greek prime minister survives a confidence vote in parliament after a week of drama in athens that shocked the e.u. and sent markets into turmoil. for the sake of what happened that we still have. that. package. late. also u.s. police weigh in with handcuffs battles and tear gas to put down the anti corporate occupy movement but the activists say they're determined to stand their ground against the odds. and political ads the hoardings are popping up all across russia right now as the campaign kicks off to win seats in the country's lower house of parliament.

is ten pm saturday night or a moscow welcome if you just joined this my name is kevin owen and you're watching r.t. our top story the greek prime minister holds talks to form a temporary governing coalition after narrowly winning a crucial confidence vote in parliament and the country featured nonetheless remains far from clear the main opposition parties demanded snap elections it wants george problem out of government for ports that from the greek capital. there's a lot of confusion about what that hey listen government's going to look like that we saw how this happened and his government supplied that call this place here in parliaments in the early hours of the morning it was very very place it is always going to there is a week and i think decisions but no change is 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 would help guide us a bit see this political clock but 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 with a lot of people saying they're 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 little stereotype packages will continue as the only policy coming out of the euro zone the pressure on greek politicians of the central air from the center right because of the stereotype measures is that the leader of the right wing party wants quicker lections so he could do well and not be implicated in any of the austerity packages we've had so far were asked up and drove

a leader of the center left party doesn't want the collections because he's deeply implicated in these policies and wants a national government a government of national unity so the responsibility for the strategy package is to share but if you learn to say where there is one missing out truth is 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 the sterett recession more austerity measures vicious cycle being removed somehow being. and political leaders actually addressing the social needs of the people in this country and indeed if you feel that 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 announcement yesterday at the

what we seen playing out in the last week really as he said that message of uncertainty at a time when everyone was hoping for was a unified front for some decisive action and that's not what we're seeing it's all in of course moving forward the situation looking on increasingly unstable ground. spoken serves that us police become increasingly heavy handed in breaking up the protests of the country for nearly two months now officers used force to disperse them over the u.s. capitol and take the intense three activists from the driver was in charge by the way in the california city of oakland police of the tear gas and bathrooms and protesters not arrested more than one hundred several people were seriously injured including a u.s. army veteran it is the second incident of police brutality the city seen in two weeks in new york where the occupy movement began protesters come to your coffee park are bracing themselves for a showdown too but his metaphor that i went to find out what authorities in the big store for them. 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 in 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 reports to the police some media outlets have also reported that it is actually new york city police officers some at least that have encouraged criminals and homeless people to come down to zuccotti park in an effort to stir up some trouble the n.y.p.d. has denied those accusations we did speak with a few of the hundreds of activists that are down here and here's what they had to

say my experience has been that i hate here and i feel safe here but i think that you know the mayor is has got big big screen crimes that are having been reported what are those crimes that you think that he's probably gearing up to make another attempt to. simply because someone walked into the park doesn't mean that they're part of the movement a lot of these out with it in 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 we can see anyone come in here and that's fine you know we want to welcome people in but certainly because someone destruct it doesn't mean they reflect what we're doing or that we promote what they're doing princeton professor and activist stopper 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 wrong they're trying to come up with a rationalization which is not a convincing reason to think there's anything criminal about you know dangerous

about this thing. i think every section of new york city has. been. what it is they have a human community and every human community here is still supporting oh my god yes one hundred twenty percent overall though all the optimists 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. . or correspondent lucy craft of also covering the occupy protests too for you had twitter stream for more lucy did was at the scene as police weighed in to break up the latest protest in washington you can log on to a twitter feed for full coverage of the incident clothing photos and videos to. one of the moms driving the occupy movements the increased tax on the rich that could help bolster the plagued us budget now

a little later on this we find out what some new yorkers think. as people get wealthier a higher percentage of the think they haven't up until the certain point where as you get getting wealthier you want even more. half mistakes the streets of a governor gauge public opinion and we've got more of about in the future this time . joining hands with the growing occupy movement tens of thousands of people have to take a shot of america's big banks this saturday it is officially bank transfer day which aims to deprive leading bankers of their customers let's talk now the way for a bit more inside his organization the progressive change campaign committee is helping this process along even email or whatever your views of the big banks they have to be pretty safe and reliable for the average customer of let me what guarantees is there about these alternatives is there any safer bet for your average customer yeah there's a lot of superbugs all over the country and united states we have credit unions

federal credit unions and state credit unions they're great alternative they're connected to their community and their group of folks to get out from under the boy . you know big corporate banks that are responsible for ruling the economy and over the last you know fifteen years have consolidated power and you know it's going to take all that in but one of the guarantees sell it to me all the guarantees are you know your money is just a statement of federal credit union as it is anywhere else it's you know guaranteed by the u.s. government up to two hundred fifty thousand dollars and more importantly the money stays in your community and the federal credit unions unlike banks are concerned about profits for profits are shared directly with kisses in a credit union so you don't have to worry about your banking fees going up to a paper back it's huge salary ultimately any profits a come back will come back to the members of the great union and that's exactly what people want or i was all for a good cause but will it really make

a difference maybe you're talking i don't know hundreds or thousands of people if they took you up on this offer but the big bunch of course got many millions of customers across the globe ok make them a bit but will it really take any notice well i think they're taking notice for sure over the last over the last month or so. listen september twenty ninth over six hundred thousand people across the country and folks are going right now to banks it is dog or the triple c's web site are finding credit unions in the move their money billions and billions of dollars have moved and at the end of the day if these big banks decide that the money in those accounts are useful then then good luck to them but we're going to take our money we're going to move it elsewhere and we're taking action in a really responding to the occupy wall street movement that's been sweeping the country with concrete action that everyone can take i guess neal one of the counter arguments is that is this rainy a good sensible time taking shots of the big helping to prop up the u.s.

i call that we that struggling so badly you know so there's economic. well i'll tell you this. american people at the worst of the recession propped up the big banks they were too big to fail so in a lot of ways people moving their money right now are making sure that these banks are going to be too big to fail again and that we're going to have to bail them out if we were you talking about here on the whole occupy movement that's also raising across the u.s. so the related to that and see corporate nature study back from it look at the broad picture how much of a success has all this how do. you think i come to know you're going to say yes what do we believe that is really having the effect we want you know listen i entirely understand your question and we're we are having tremendous successes for the first time in decades people are thinking about the degree to which corporations have power in this country and degree to which the way in which corporations that have power have been taking power away from regular american citizens it's been a phenomenal success because over the last few weeks we've been talking about the

degree to which you know income inequality is a problem in this country rather than absurd talk about how we're going to be cutting social security and cutting medicare benefits in order to attempt to fix the deficit problem that we've. mean has been successful because it's changed the conversation and today it's not because you're going to states like things that it's now or moving there by live. from progressive change campaign committee things have so much. israel's become deporting pro palestinian activists from the block for to live and try to curry medical supplies to go to boats are russian canadian current twenty seven foreign nationals and such so from turkey when it's a little boarded by the israeli navy guards. similar protests vessels have been intercepted in the past in the in may last year the killing of going to nationals on board a flotilla causes a national outcry over time israel since ease the blockade activity rough told me

the palestinian people need more than a. the problem that we have here is a humanitarian crisis but it is one that has been created by deliberate israeli policies so we need to change that policy so that palestinians are allowed to lead a normal life i didn't and i have to live on handouts now the situation in gaza is one point five million people who live in an open air prison and as a result of deliberate israeli policy have been reduced to needing handouts eighty percent of the population of gaza is food aid dependent and that's a problem but it is a political problem and therefore these flotillas are going to challenge the policy of this inhumane blockade going to the united nations as a way of the palestinian leadership saying that we need the rights of the palestinian people respected and we think that through this mechanism we will have more avenues by which to hold israel responsible for continued violation of rights

and that is something that should be supported by all because in the end all of these different countries are part of a united system the united nations that is supposed to maintain world peace and defend people's human rights but it seems that no action is taken in violation of palestinian human rights occurs and palestinians are looking for been is by which to hold israel accountable. you a nuclear watchdog plans to reveal intelligence next week suggesting the rand made computer models of a nuclear warhead that's according to the associated press news agency the report by the international atomic energy agency will also support allegations that iran's builds a nuclear testing facility and is set to show they say satellite images to prove it let's get some expert analysis on this than sort of patrick henningsen is editor of the info wars dot com website very good even to think spengler program ok got the basics what the implications of these claims if they come out what are they going to be well the report is due to come out the next report of the international

atomic energy agency is basically saying that iran is reached a stage in its research where this is the precursor to an a bomb to an tonic on what they've done is they've done research into do to ride nuclear physics and also neutron physics ok and this is meant to be some sort of implicating crime that is going to allow the west to play sanctions on iran or to have weapons inspectors go in and search or but this is research is being go all over the world in a lot of different countries university so if iran is guilty of doing this level of research that they'll have to put sanctions on about one hundred countries while all this of course things are ratcheting up in israel on friday the israeli president said that when it comes to iran that the international community is closer to finding a military solution than a diplomatic one so does that mean that military action is now a real possibility. well i think this week we've seen the u.k. come out openly and publicly to say that there are plans for an attack on iran

israel is done missile tests as well on a into ballistic missile that has nuclear warhead capabilities and the u.s. policy is well known hawks in washington led by hillary clinton in the state department and the neo conservatives have wanted to have a preemptive strike on iran for its way back is early as two thousand and four so this is not new news interesting line is well only today in fight a senior u.s. military official saying that the u.s. is worried that israel might go it alone indeed and attack iran without warning and it begs the question is television really become such a proverbial loose cannon well the leak that came out of allegedly came out of you the shin bet or mossad there were already operational plans to have a preemptive strike against iran from israel that was leaked out benjamin netanyahu was absolutely flabbergasted in the hardline look at hardline we were really upset about this leak but thank god and i tip my hat to these people in israel who did

leak this information because it's absolute madness if you look at the geopolitical situation right now in the region an attack on iran is going to basically put gasoline on a fire that is already reached incredible temperatures so it's not it's not something we can afford but what kind of reaction we like to say from iran later this week when this if it does come out. funny enough iran is due to release a report on monday that documented detail evidence of the us involvement in funding and arming. terrorist groups to doing hit terrorist attacks in iran the gentle law exciter and also incursions over afghanistan border so that is iran is due to come out this is what we're seeing here is a war of propaganda one side is from the u.s. u.k. israel bloc with their propaganda on iran nuclear weapons and the other side is iran's counter propaganda to show that the us is actively involved in funding in operating terrorist groups in the region so it's an incredible timing of situations

incredible but you've got to look at the u.s. policy on on the killer right now obama approved the two hundred billion dollar bill to upgrade the u.s. nuclear arsenal where is the atomic energy agency there were they with israel's inspections israel has not even declared its nuclear arsenal yet so there's a bit of a double standard going on here and i don't think it's worth starting world war three over well and i think we need to look at that reiterating again you know rand has always said doesn't it that it's just nuclear program is solely for peaceful purposes i was granted an interview with the president assad just a couple of months ago he told me this channel that again looking in the face and said it's got no plans for any nuclear weapons none the less the u.s. and its allies i was just saying i was trying to prove but it's much more than that so that's the underlying reason for the timing of the tensions right now when you say because of what's happening in america and there's a nuclear plant there yes. well i mean i really think that maybe the u.s.

state department or the these diplomats have the memory of a goldfish that just swam done a lap around the bowl in two thousand and nine russia offered to take exploited enriched uranium from iran to take it and to look after it they also invited weapons and weapons inspectors in u.n. weapons inspectors into a terror on to look at these facilities we've already been around this whole thing again i think what they're doing is trying to there's an issue of timing coming up the west wants to strike iran but it wants to do it at a time of its choosing and all they're doing is just revising this whole nucular threat issue while iran has no interest in attacking the west with a nuclear weapon you know it's absolute suicide the u.s. as enough nuclear arms to destroy the whole of central asia about a thousand times over so let's get to reality now and i think this is a big problem with the geo political debate right now it's very divorced from reality though to get back to reality we'll see what how it all pans out next week of course how this all plays out patrick kennedy said associate editor of the

website in for war so confidently. to russia massive election campaigns know full swing with seven parties competing for seats in the duma the country's lower house of parliament kind of has have until december the third to will voters with all their debates and enticing adverts on television and in print media is a country which over reports of the race. for the nats thirty days old t.v. sets in russia will be talking politics politics and politics in other words not a waiver of the rule of the people and socialism freedom solidarity and justice our free same sure it's certainly among the most storied going on his party which stands for the poor and the russian national poll more so is on our banners future is with. banners educating for the top political parties and head of the december abode have been out for a while but the most cherished cake free t.v.

and radio air has just been sliced seven parties are in the running for the duma seats and while the country's main political force the united russia party is only concerned by home depot a majority will be getting this time many are there are so desperate to just make it into the parliament and the race is on a staunch communists are appealing to saudi in style chair portaloo communists haven't lied a single time in one hundred years we saved the country from fascism in world war two we twice saved the country from collapsing we were the first in space like a thermos and the liberal democrats are yet again appealing to nationalism. the russian president should be the sole ruler in the caucuses we have to eliminate a clone culture in this region and introduce curfews in some areas video surveillance is a must and that's good just while just russia comes up with a robin hood plan to help with who are with the money of the rich for one. reform

number one. in introducing tax on luxury business and country should breathe freely . 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 and parliament probably was even considering running for president for the complaint. it field because of crocodiles personality and he thought her to run a priority is the same as to run a business this is a strategic mistake considered other party members have been with the great cause much longer than. subordinates and they responded by asking him with all their might cause will take part in the book but it's listed among outsiders one month ahead of the latch ins polls suggest united russia will gain at least forty three percent of the world's coming second hour communists with 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 at least one seat in the duma they will have to overcome a five percent threshold i mentioned a very for hand for the united russia party is least has even put his political future on the table saying he's possible posed as the country's prime minister could depend on how well the party reforms and the election puts prime minister putin is also backing the united russia and has even become somewhat of a trademark of the party over the years which is understand brazil malachias will each receive a sparkling new keyset a welcome gift from the government the specifics of the order are exacting a set or they may from white porcelain each with a gold three mm each cup must hold a certain amount of tea interesting you go not all so far of the same size two

hundred four key and coffee sets for twelve person. well the remaining four hundred feet are just scaled down person starts and while it's not clear which debby's will win which starts some g.o.p. discrepancy means the united russia party has haunt create plans for a tea party of its own following the december a vote by winning the least two hundred four seats it's here that silver are. more news around the world with nigeria very a series of gun attacks is left at least sixty seven killed and more than one hundred injured in a sort of. more than an hour hitting several targets including the local police precinct and several churches the radical muslims claimed responsibility for their attack and promised more strikes through in the future of friday the same group also attacked a military headquarters a neighbor in borno state with a triple suicide bombing. in colombia troops are killed the top fark rebel

commander delivering another severe blow to latin america's longest running guerrilla insurgency alfonso cano died during a military air and ground assault a reward of nearly four million dollars was offered for information leading to his capture and sixty three year old took over as head of the rebel group in two thousand and eight after the death of its co-founder. in italy at least six people have been killed and several missing after a flash flood struck the port city of genoa week after drenching rain storms ravaged other nearby coastal areas now the victims include two children and a woman who was pretty crushed by cars that were carried down by fast moving floodwater emergency officials warned residents not to leave their homes and move to higher ground if they can as two rivers burst their banks as well it's the second deluge of many weeks with warnings the worst is yet to come. as the occupy protest movement grips the u.s. for a second month opinions are divided over some of its aims some of them want a tax hike for rich americans who demonstrators blame for the economic downturn

that is lorie half of this is going on the streets of new york to see if the people there green. general public has been vilified by very rich lately so why don't republicans there too much money this week let's talk about that margin a million too much money yeah if someone has more than a million should they pay more in taxes yes they absolutely said yes but i want too much money so i'm not going to answer. those ten million too much to most for to me when one young women one million finance dad would say if people make more than a million dollars and they have better in their bank account should they be forced to give back a moral or a moral and outs in general interestingly i saw once the to answer the question do you have enough money to curb goes like this as your wealth increases so people who

don't have a lot feel that they don't have enough as the as people get wealthier a higher percentage of the think they have been up until or past certain point whereas as you get even wealthier you want even more so if you made ten million dollars would you 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 sure would from one that doesn't have so much should they be forced to through taxes like they do in scandinavia and 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 mind just a little bit more. comfortable later in the program tonight with a close look at one of russia's most historic regions bashkirian it's in the foothills of the ancient of beautiful ural mountains of sight seeing shortly
