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 george pub and out of government firth reports now from the greek capital. there's a lot of confusion about what that coalition government is going to look like that we still have as the passenger and his governments and by that call this nation in parliaments in the early hours of the morning it was very very close it was always going to big. decisions but no changes really everyone still waiting to see what the details of this will be 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 in such a critical point well 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 whereas cap 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 with if you will armey sarah there is one missing actress's 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. 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 that public opinion here very very disappointed at the end i think yesterday at the what we've 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 seeing it's all in of course moving forward the situation looking on increasingly unstable ground of course one of sarah first investment visor patrick young who says the political fallout from greece is now spreading to the rest of the e.u.

too. if the whole situation we have here is a pole little 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 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 and he'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 dying over a cliff it's going to go bankrupt and it's probably going to take the euro zone with us with it and stop 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 rawest 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 are widespread concerns that the us police are becoming increasingly heavy handed in breaking of the corporate occupy protests the country 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 insisting me in the california city of oakland meantime police unleashed tear gas and baton on protesters and the rest of the one hundred several people were seriously injured including a u.s. army veteran it is the second incident of police brutality the city's witnessed now in two weeks meantime in new york for the occupy movement began protesters come to

the park and bracing themselves for a showdown. went to find out what authorities in the big 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 in 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 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 do coffee 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. stayed here but i think that you know the mayor is this god thing beings great times 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 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 we 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 without a convincing reason do you think there's anything criminal about you know dangerous about this encampment that i think section of new york city has a day and then. what it is they have a human community and every human community has some still supporting oh my god yes one hundred twenty it was the 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 portnoy r.t. another of our correspondents lucy calf muscles are covering the occupy protests for you to just head to our 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 for full coverage of the incident polluting photos videos it's there

whenever you want to. and one of the demands driving the occupy movement is increased taxes on the rich to help bolster the overstretched u.s. budget a little later this father wants a new yorkers think about that. 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 will be you want even more very often this takes the street to the big apple to gauge public opinion that's a come up for a couple of minutes time on r.t. . or tens of thousands of people are teaming up with the growing occupy movement to take a shot of america's big banks this saturday is facially bank transfer day which aims to deprive leading bankers of their customers let's cross live of the person who spearheading the entire movement kirsten 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 and put it into a local credit union so what was your thinking behind why you're calling on more people to join your example. be driving force for him a decision to invade other people to turn this thing. where is the response frowns that when you hear you know waiting to see. what the. oh that is the best plans cursed alert should be we can't hear the the signals got a bit strange will try again can you can you try and repeat that and still give it one more go i think skype might be learning as to what was your thinking behind it . where despite investor calls interact response to. the principle of the. night impoverished and working class it was not something i. know the big bugs though seem to have congress even the white house almost side on

the only people you think it'll take for your movement to hit the word hurts in the pocket. and will the goal be transferred a movement is not actually in line with the occupy wall street movement i understand that the occupy wall street movement does wish to seek revenge that is not the goal of being transferred movement in that you are separate being transferred movement is a shift of five from the corporate level to the local level where they will stimulate our local economies. are you talking about ordinary people taking the 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 dead are you going to get much of a message across really again the goal is not you hurt anyone the goal is to shift the local level so far credit unions have seen an additional six hundred fifty

thousand new members in the week since base being transferred eva started so we are seeing positive improvements on the local level and as i said i'm like occupy wall street the goal is not to hurt anyone or anything and was the guarantees are told to us just out of a cash what's the current easy for people to put their money into these alternatives like credit unions and smaller banks to guarantee they won't go bust tomorrow in these times are going through right now some of these big buying they get the money out of a been around for a long time they are reliable most of them so so credit unions and the credit union i suppose the angeles that's been around for seventy five years serving angelenos and has a proven track record actually and american economic experts do say that the. security firms that we use for credit unions are actually a lot more state and banks and that is because of the difference in how profits are

used so credit unions hire actually according to experts more state other on the part of the tool between you and the occupy movement. i'm sorry there where are there any parallels at all between what your seeking to do what the occupier movement seeking to do. definitely alternately both limits what light. been on the community level i think our coaches are entirely different that. i don't believe the gathering of people all too early to be is that i don't think it is to send a message ok you don't want retribution you don't do want to tear into the world a little bit earlier when some u.s. politicians have slammed the entire occupy a movement maybe some of your movement is being social as well how far do you think americans are prepared to go to change the current economic and political system that you yourself are the happy with. well actually i personally.

help with the state and the biggest is that recently we have a right to make a profit my response that is exactly what sort of a transfer day they were it's make a profit and i go right to decide if i'm going to give them my money or not. i definitely don't think the transfer day is a shift to socialism. the political sense i think this is a consumer community reawakening people putting into practice three core values living within your means when your neighbors and investing in your local community support christianson from los angeles organizer of the bank transfer day movement thanks for your thoughts are clear of the program for you should. thank you. israel's we're going to put in pro palestinian activists on the block for tiller the try to carry medical supplies to go to boats are reaching canadian current

twenty seven foreign nationals and such so from turkey on wednesday they were boarded by israeli navy guards and towed away similar protos vessels were intercepted in the past of in may last year the killing of nine turkish nationals on board a for to cause a national outcry israel since ease the blockade but activists to what a rough told with the palestinian people need more than aid hamburg's right now. 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 abide 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 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 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 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 avenues by which to hold israel accountable the nuclear watchdog will next week publish a report suggesting a computer nuclear warhead models that's according to the associated press news agency the international atomic energy agency will support allegations that runs builds a nuclear testing facility patrick henningsen editor of the info was web site says the west is one of the target actually going to run for years but in the flow of

the whole middle east region. well the report that's due to come out next week by 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 atomic bomb and 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 extra 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 that 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 when it 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. in russia massive election campaigns are now in full swing with seven parties competing for seats in the do whether it's the country's lower house of parliament candidates have until december third to woo voters with all their debates and enticing adverts on t.v. and print media has a catching approach over reports on the race. for the next thirty days on t.v. sets in russia will be talking politics politics and politics in other words. not

a labor the rule of the people and socialism i mean at the top freedom 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 national. banners future is with . banners educating for the top political parties 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 united russia party is only consuming my 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 staunch communists are appealing to sauvie. the order of communists haven't lied a single time in one hundred years we save the country from fascism in world war

two we twice save the country from collapsing we were the first in space with. the 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. yes while just russia comes up with a robin hood plan to help the who are with the money of the reach for the moment reform. one is fighting poverty in introducing tax on luxury business and country should be pretty freely. there had been another runner in this race lobbying for both small and big businesses millionaire 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 of the complaint. or

a deal of it fields because of cross personality he thought that to run a party is a seems to run a business this is a strategic mistake he consider the other party members had been with the right cause much longer than he has teammates who did his subordinates and they responded by. the right calls will take part in the vote but it's listed among outsiders one month ahead of the elections 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 to 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 elections will each receive a sparking new t.v. set a welcome gift from the government the specifics of the order are exacting the subtle be made from white porcelain each with a gold trim each cup must hold a certain amount of t. interesting you though not all sets are of the same size two hundred for our tea and coffee sets for twelve 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 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 it's a democrat r t. rather world news in brief let's go to

nigeria first there are a series of bomb going to turn left at least sixty seven killed and more than one hundred injured if you sold in the turn of the last in more than an hour hitting several targets including the local police precinct and several churches the radical muslims. claimed responsibility for the attack and promised more strikes in the future too it did 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 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 week after the 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 delegation 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 one of them is a tax hike for rich americans who demonstrators blame for the economic downturn there are a half this has been on the streets of new york to see if the 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 said yes 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 and 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 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. for the program just ahead the war in libya is over nato is gone but the red cross is events it won't believe in libya until 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 and after a quick break. to
