prime minister holds talks to form a temporary governing coalition after narrowly winning a crucial confidence vote in parliament but the country's future nonetheless remains far from clear the main opposition parties demanded snap elections it wants george papandreou out of government. reports them from the greek capital. there's a lot of confusion about what that coalition government is going to look like that we still have is the publisher and his government by that called insulation in parliaments in the early hours of the morning it was very very close it is always going to big. 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 will help guide us a bit see this political quagmire i'm joined by. this 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 the austerity packages 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 that the responsibility for the austerity package is shared but if you will only say or 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 being. dented and political leaders actually addressing the social needs of the people in this country and indeed of european peace 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 end i don't think yesterday at the what we seen 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 in of course moving forward the situation looking on an increasingly unstable ground. there were widespread concerns that u.s.

police become 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 the driver was in charge by the way in the california city of oakland police unleashed 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 protest has come to it is of course the park are bracing themselves for a showdown to. when to find out what authorities in the will have in 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 care and i feel safe here but i think that you know the mayor is this god thing beings great crime 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. to remove us from the park simply because someone walked

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 dr cornel west who has 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 is wrong they did try to come up with a rationalization which is not a convincing reason do you think there's anything criminal about you know dangerous about this think you're going to think every section of new york city has a day to get up and then. what it is they have a human community every human community has something still supporting oh my god yes one hundred twenty it was the 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 portnoy r.t. . well a correspondent lucy kaffirs also covering the occupy protests too for you head to our twitter stream for more lucy did was at the scene as police wade into break up the latest protest in washington he would log on to a twitter feed for full coverage of the incident clothing photos and videos to. well the demands driving the occupy movements to increase taxes on the rich that could help bolster the beleaguered u.s. budget now a little later on this we find out what some new yorkers think about. as people get wealthier a higher percentage of the things they haven't up until they passed certain point worse as you get even wealthier you want even more. how often this takes the strength of the big apple to gauge public opinion we've got more about that in

a few minutes time. joining hands with the growing occupy movement tens of thousands of people have to take a shot at 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. for a bit more insight his organization the progressive change campaign committee is helping this whole process along even mail now whatever your views of the big banks they have to be pretty safe and reliable for the average customer have led me what guarantees is there about these alternatives that they're 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 really for folks to get out from under the bush. 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 tell it to me all the guarantees are you know your money is just a statement of federal credit union 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 the federal credit unions unlike banks are concerned about profits the profits are shared directly with the participants in the credit union so you don't have to worry about your banking fees going up to the paper some fat cats huge salary ultimately any profits that come back will come back to the members of the credit union and that's exactly what people want or i was all for a good cause but will it really make a difference maybe a talk it i don't know hundreds of thousands of people if they took you up on the self but the big banks of course have 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. since september twenty ninth over six hundred fifty thousand people across the country and folks who are going right now

to banks it is dog or teachable sees website 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 aren't 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 and they're 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-argument. is this rainy good a sensible time to be taking shelter the big sort of helping to prop up the u.s. i call the way that struggling so badly so there's economic. well i'll tell you this. very few 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 are going to have to bail them

out if you will you talking about here on the whole occupy movement is also raging across the u.s. so called a related. study back from it look at the broad picture how much of a success has all this how do. you think i kind of know you're going to say yes but do we believe that it's really have 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. that's been successful because it's changed the

conversation and today it's not because people are going to sites like things that are star or moving their body. for the progressive change campaign committee thinks it was about. israel's deporting pro palestinian activists from a blog for to live the try to curry medical supplies to go to boats are a she could i do encourage twenty seven foreign nationals from turkey and wednesday there were boarded by the israeli navy guards towed away similar protests vessels have been intercepted in the past indeed it may last year the killing of one turkish nationals on board a flotilla causes an arsenal at the time israel since ease the blockade but activists who were told me the palestinian people need more than. 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 have five life and i have to live on handouts now the

situation in gaza is that one point five million people 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 now of gaza is food aid dependent and that's a problem but it's a political problem and therefore these flotillas are going to challenge that policy of this inhumane blockade going to the united nations as a way of the palestinian leadership saying that we need the right 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 our rights and that is something that should be supported by all because in the end all of these different countries are part of the 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 avenues by which to hold israel accountable. the u.n.

nuclear watchdog plans to reveal intelligence next week suggesting a random a 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 talk to patrick henning sims editor of the info wars dot com website very good evening chief thanks being on the program ok does the basics what are the implications of these claims if they come out what are they going to be well the report that's due to come out in the next three by the international atomic energy agency is basically saying that iran is reached a stage in its research where this is the precursor to a neighbor to an tomic bomb and what they have done is they've done research into due to ride nucular physics and also a 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 done all over the world in a lot of different countries universities 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 fact a senior u.s. military official saying that the u.s. is worried that israel might go it alone indeed in the tack 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 the shin bet or mossad that there were already operational plans to have a preemptive strike against iran from israel that was leaked out benjamin netanyahu was absolutely flabbergasted and the hard line look at hard line we're 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 it's not something we can afford to what kind of reaction we'd like to say from around later this week when this if it does come out. funny enough iran is due to release

a report on monday that has documented detail evidence of the us involvement in funding and arming. terrorist groups doing hit terrorist attacks in iran the gentle law exactly 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 and operating terrorist groups in the region so it's an incredible the 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 and 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 then a it's just nuclear program is solely for peaceful purposes i was granted interview with the president assad just 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 as you say it was trying to prove that it's much more than that so that's the underlying reason for the timing of the tensions right now and you think because of what's happening in america and this nuclear plant they. well i mean i really think that maybe the u.s. state department or the diplomats have the memory of a goldfish they've just done a lap around the bowl in two thousand and nine russia offered to take exported 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 tower 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 no to get back to reality we'll see what how it all pans out next week of course how this all plays out to having said associate editor of the website in for wars dot com thank you. here in russia massive election campaign is now in full swing with seven parties competing for seats in the duma the country's lower house of parliament kind that is have until december third to wall voters with all their debate so they toasting adverts on television and in print media is

a country in which over reports on the race. for the next thirty days all t.v. sets in russia will be talking politics politics and politics in other words another labor the rule of the people and socialism at the top freedom solidarity and justice our free sanctuary some of the most storied going on is a party which stands for the poor and for russian national motto is on our banners future is with. banners agitating for the top political parties and head of the december vote 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 a majority will be getting this time many are there is that desperate to just make it into the parliament and the race is on

a staunch communists are appealing to saw the. daughter of communist haven't lived a single time in one hundred years we saved the country from fascism in world war two we twice save the country from collapsing we were the first in space with. liberal democrats are yet again appealing to nationalism but. 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. just 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 about the what the there had been and not a runner in this race lobbying for both small and big businesses billionaire me how prokhorov hopes were high he would create

a powerful lobby for western minded liberals in parliament probably of himself was even considering running for president for the complain failed and. it feels because of cross 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 who'd been with the right cause much longer than him not as team mates that is his subordinates and they responded by asking him what the right course will take part in the vote but it's listed among outsiders one month ahead of the lakshman polls suggest united russia will gain at least forty three percent of the votes 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 to mention it very far has the united russia party his

list has even put his political future on the table saying his possible post as the country's prime minister could depend on how well the point in 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 douma lectures will each receive as sparking new t.v. set a welcome gift from the government the specifics of the order are exacting the search will be made from white porcelain each with a gold trim each cup must hold a certain amount of tea interesting you though not all circuits are of the same size two hundred four are key and coffee sets for twelve person. well the remaining four hundred fifty are just scaled down six person sets and while it's not clear which devotees will win which set some joke the discrepancy means they're not a russia party has horn current plans for a tea party of its own following the december vote by winning at least two hundred

four duma seats exceeding the r t. more news around the world tonight we start with nigeria very a series of bomb and gun attacks is left at least sixty seven killed and more than one hundred injured the assault on the town of lasted more than an hour hitting several targets including a local police precinct and several churches the radical muslim sect book claimed responsibility for that attack and promised more strikes to in the future or friday the same group also attacked a military headquarters in neighboring bottom of state with a triple suicide bombing. in colombia troops have killed a 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 the 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 are missing after a flash flood struck the port city of genoa and week after drenching rain storms ravaged other nearby coastal areas now the victims include two children and a woman who was apparently crushed by cars that were carried down by fast moving floodwater emergency officials warned residents not to leave their homes and to move to higher ground if they can there's two rivers burst their banks as well it's the second deluge is 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 laurie half of us have been on the streets of new york to see if the people there are green. 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 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 in two months to emerge for to merge one when the limit when millions enough to have i would say if people make more than a million dollars and they have that in their bank account should they be forced to give back a moral or a moral and outs in general interestingly i saw once that the to answer the question do you have enough money to 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 where's 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 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. a company later in the program tonight we'll take a close look at one of russia's most historic regions bashkirian this in the foothills of the ancient a beautiful ural mountains of sightseeing shortly tonight before or after rather a takes you from saturday's headlines in just a tick. those
