tonight the greek prime minister survives a confidence vote in parliament after a week of drama nothing that shocks the e.u. and said markets into. what. we still have. that. plus us please weigh in with comcast battens interior gas to put down the corporate occupied movement but activists say they're determined to stand their ground against the all . political ads and hoardings of popping up all across russia as the campaign kicks off in the country's lower house of parliament.

it's eleven pm saturday night here in moscow you're watching r t with me kevin zero in on our top story the greek prime minister holds talks to form a temporary governing coalition after narrowly winning a crucial confidence vote in parliament the country's future remains far from clear the main opposition parties demanded snap elections and it wants out of government at the center of first reports now from the greek capital. there's a lot of confusion about what like a little government 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 close it was always going to be it was a week and so much a decisions but no changes really everyone still waiting to see what the details of this will be and as he said before the devil really is in the details and so

a lot of uncertainty still remains about was going to happen now meeting for help guide us a bit see this political quagmire enjoyed by. this professor of economics at athens university. it's very uncertain what's going to happen actually tell us a bit more about what the politicians it is saying and he said look he was saying they're playing political games can they afford to do that it's 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 it will stare a g. packages will continue as the only policy coming out of the euro zone the pressure on. the central issue center right because of those hysterically 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 stereotypical just we've had so far as captain 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 that the responsibility for the strategy package is shared but if you learn to say there is one missing out truth 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 the stereotype recession more serious measures vicious cycle being removed somehow being. i'm political just actually addressing the social needs of the people in this country and indeed if you feel that really is a very valid point lot of people are talking about here today is that is the listening we do in the public opinion here very very disappointed you know just. what we seen playing out in the last week really as he said. that he had

a time when everyone was taking photos a unified front for some decisive action and that's not what we're seeing it's all in of course leaving for the situation looking on increasingly unstable ground of course one of the first spoke to investment advisor patrick young who says the political fallout from greece is now spreading to the rest of the e.u. to. if the whole situation we have here is a pole litter cold disaster area i realize we're talking about economics but the problem is as we've been hearing the greek politicians have decided to have an overall political argument and that's basically holding the rest of the euro zone around some this week we've had park and radio trying very very hard to sort of renegotiate in some way shape or form with the e.u. and the euro zone stood for why because again it's politics mrs merkel can't afford to spend any more money or she won't get reelected mr sarkozy he needs to get results on who's just had a complete disaster of the g twenty meeting where he promised so much and failed to

deliver anything and therefore greece is now hanging on the end of a thread more or less going to go over a cliff it's going to go fine craft and it's probably going to take the euro zone with us with it undocked really is a tragedy and i actually think for the rest of the euro zone it would be a lot better to throw out the roy diest member of the night club at the moment and therefore hopefully everybody else will get back to their drinks and they will sit around and they will behave like good corporate citizens and acutely that means obviously italy because this is a big festering sore the problem of the italian government and its complete so far inability to manage to get its house in order. there was supposed concerns that the us police are becoming increasingly heavy handed in breaking of the anti corporate occupy protests become true for nearly two months now officers used force to disperse a demo in the u.s. capitol in terms three activists were struck with the driver was in charge of

stringing in the california city of oakland meantime police unleashed tear gas and baton on protesters and 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's witness now in two weeks meantime in new york for the occupy movement began protesters come to the park and bracing themselves for a showdown portnoy went to find out what authorities a bigger may 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 in danger in the entire community saying they are family in troops who are mines 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

boards 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 almost 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. don't feel faith here but i think that you know the mayor is it's got big big secret crimes that are hard to get reported what are those crimes that you. i think the mayor is probably carrying up to make another attempt to. turn the park simply because someone walked into the park doesn't mean it they're part of the movement a lot of these out with they've been critical of us characterize anyone who is within you know a mile radius of this place at the protest 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 just drop it doesn't reflect what we're doing or that we promote what they're doing princeton professor and optimus 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 i think your idea to try to come up with a rationalization with another convincing reason you think there's anything criminal about you know dangerous about this. i think section of new york city has a day. what it is they have a human community every human community here still supporting oh my god yes one hundred twenty but 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 ring up or not r.t. another of our correspondents news accounts and also so covering the occupy protests for you to just go to aussies twitter stream for more teachers at the scene as police waited to break up the latest protest in washington you can log on to get a twitter feed full coverage of the incident leading photos and videos it's there whenever you want to. and one of the vans driving the occupy movements increased taxes on the rich to help bolster the overstretched u.s. budget then later this hour we follow what some new yorkers think about. as people get wealthier a higher percentage of the think they have enough until a certain point where is. as you get even wealthier you get one even more very often this takes the streets of the big apple to gauge public opinion it's come up with a few minutes time on our team. were tens of thousands of people are tearing up with a growing occupy movement to take

a shot of america's big banks the saturdays fishley bunk transfer day which aims to deprive leading bankers of their customers let's cross live of the person who spearheaded the entire movement first and christian she's on the line from los angeles kirsten thanks for being on r.t. and you started as a mention there this bank transfer day move when you apparently decided to pull all your money out for a big high street bank here i put it into a local credit union so what was you thinking behind why are you calling on more people to join your example than. driving force for i mean if this into a people to tune in this week let me play is i believe this times is that when you know he. put the. oh dear the first plans kirstie wrote should we can't hear you the signals got a bit strange will try again can you can you try to repeat that give it one more go

i think sky blowing is what you're thinking behind it. immediately it will interact response here will. be pennsylvania like. now it's very impoverished and working class is not something that support. the big bugs of congress leave the white house almost side on only people you think it will take for your movement to hit the word hurts in the pockets. of the full transmitted movement is not actually in line with the are a wall street that they understand the occupy wall street movement as. that is not the goal of the transfer movement and that you are separate being transferred even when it is shifted in the corporate bubble to the local level where people stimulate our local economies. talking about ordinary people taking their hard earned cash away from the big banks but is it really going to bother the

big banks looking at the scale of this they make every day don't they i mean are you going to make much of a good i'm going to get much of a message across really. the goal is not you've heard anyone call it a local level so far credit union sixteen an additional six hundred fifty thousand new members in the week since pastry been transferred it was started so we are seeing positive improvements on the local level and they said i don't like occupy wall street at all it's nice you hurt anyone or anything i was the guarantees i told just to sort of a cash what's the guarantee for people to put their money into these alternatives like credit unions and smaller banks how can you guarantee they won't go bust the more of these times are going through right now some of these big they could have money had ever been around for a long time they are reliable most of them so credit unions and the credit union

not spiritual it's been around here is there any angeleno has a proven track record actually and american economic. security that we use for credit unions are actually a lot worse. and that is because the difference in how profits are so crazy means higher actually according to experts more if they can get other only a part of the poor between you and the occupy movement. well there are any parallels at all between what your seeking to do what the occupier seeking to do and i. think that alternately both units would like to see improvement on the community level i think our roaches are entirely different. i don't believe he paul two. is that i don't think it is to send

a message it ok you don't want to be all you do it should we do want to enjoy the world a little bit tell you we've some u.s. politicians have slammed the entire occupy movement maybe some of your movement is being socialist well far do you think americans are prepared to go to change the current economic and political system that you yourself. well actually i personally and. our current helpless the state and the biggest step we need to have rates make a profit my response that is exactly why it's already been transferred that they were it's make a profit and irate instead of i'm going to give them any or not that said i definitely don't think the transfer day is a shift to socialism in the political sense i think this is a consumer community. of people thinking to practice three core values living within your means in your neighbors and investing in your local community very

nicely put christianson from los angeles organizer of the transfer of your thoughts are clear of the programs we should. if you. israel's because the pully pro palestinian activists from the block for tiller the try to carry medical supplies to gaza to boats are russian canadian current thirty seven foreign nationals and search so from turkey on wednesday they were boarded by israeli navy guards and towed away similar protos vessels were intercepted in the past and it may last year the killing of nine turkish nationals on board for to cause a national outcry israel since ease the blockade but activists toward a rough told me the palestinian people need more than aid. 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 a five life and i have to live on handouts now the situation in gaza is that 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 now of gaza is food aid dependent and that's a problem but it is a political problem and therefore these photos are going to challenge that policy of this inhumane blockade going to the united nations as a way of palestinian leadership saying that we need the greater 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 a united system the united nations that is supposed to maintain world peace and defend people seem right but it seems that no action is taken one violation of palestinian human rights occurs and palestinians are looking for avenues by which to hold israel accountable. your nuclear watchdog will next week publish

a report suggesting the rand made computer need clear warhead models that's according to the associated press news agency international atomic energy agency will support allegations that iran's builds a nuclear testing facility but having said it sort of the info was website says the west has wanted to take action against iran he is but an attack would inflame the whole middle east region well the report is due to come out next week by the international atomic energy agency is basically saying that iran has reached a stage in its research where this is the precursor to an aide to an tonic on what they've done is they've done research into do to ride nucular 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 done all over the world in a lot of different countries university so if iran is guilty of doing this level of

research then they'll have to put sanctions on about one hundred countries 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 that the leak came out of allegedly came out of you 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 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 has already reached incredible temperatures so it's not it's not something we can afford. there in russia are massive election campaigns now in full swing with seven parties competing for seats in the duma that's the country's lower

house of parliament kind of at seven till december the third to woo voters with on air debates and it ties in adverts on t.v. and print media is a current reach over reports of the race. for the next thirty days on t.v. certain russia will be talking politics politics and politics in other words they want another way where the rule of the people and socialism at the top freedom of solidarity and justice our free sanctuary laws some of the most storied going on is a party which stands for the poor and the russian the national mall so it's on our banners future is with. banners educating for the top political parties the 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 if you will seven parties are in the running for the duma seats and while the country's main political force the national russian party is only consumed by home

a majority will be getting this time many are there is a desperate to just make it into the parliament and the race is on a staunch communists are appealing to saudi style chair all of communist haven't lied a single time in one hundred years and save the country from fascism and world war two twice saved the country from collapsing over the first in space of. 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 and that's just it while just russia comes up with a robin hood plan to help the who are with the money of the reach for the want to reform number one is fighting poverty and introducing tax on luxury business on country should brief really all that. there had been another runner in this race

logging for both small and big businesses leaner me hope rocker of the hopes were high and it would create a powerful. lobby from western minded liberals and parliament from or of himself was even considering running for president of the campaign for. its fields because of personality and thought that to run a courteous assume is to run a business. because party members have been with a great cause much longer than. ordinates and the rest. of the ride will take far too little but it's listed among outsiders one month ahead of the actions all suggest united russia will gain at least forty three percent of the votes coming second down 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 it policed one seat in the duma they will have to overcome a five percent threshold we should vary from has the united russia party as least as even put his political future on the table saying he's possible the country's prime minister of japan 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 elections will each receive a sparkling new keyset a welcome gift from the government the specifics of the order are exacting the subtle be made from white porcelain each with cream each cup must hold a certain amount of tea interesting you go not all circuits are of the same size two hundred four are key and coffee sets for top persons while 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 it was a party has plans for a tea party of its own following the december vote by winning at least two hundred four seats it's to approach over our. rather world brief let's go to nigeria first there are a series of bomb and gun attacks left at least sixty seven killed and more than one hundred injured the sort of the turn of lasted more than hour hitting several targets including a local police precinct and several churches the radical muslim sect the book claimed responsibility for the attack and promised more strikes in the future to it on friday the same group also attacked a military headquarters in neighboring borno 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 had been 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 a co-founder. least six people have been killed and several missing after flash floods struck the port city of genoa week after since renshaw rain storm ravaged nearby coastal areas the victims include two children and a woman who was apparently crushed by cars that were being carried by fast moving floodwater emergency officials warned residents not to leave their homes and to move to higher ground if they can as two rivers burst their banks is the second generation as 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 sayings one of them is a tax hike for rich americans who demonstrators blame for the economic downturn or a half this has been on the streets of new york to see if the people there agree.

general public has been vilifying the very rich lately so why does the public consider too much money this week let's talk about that martin 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 monies are not going to answer. those ten million too much to merge for too much when one of them women one million for nafta how i would say if people made 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 out general interestingly i saw once that the 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 them think they have enough until they pass certain point

whereas as you get even wealthier you want even more so if you made ten million dollars which to you i would give some of it away 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 you 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 mind just a little bit more. for the program just ahead the war in libya is over nato is gone but the red cross is it won't be leaving libya into the country standing on its own two feet the full story discussed in spotlight very soon tonight but i'll recover those headlines just before it for a quick break. thank
