4:00 pm
this is our see from moscow the top stories tonight the greek prime minister survives a confidence vote in parliament after a week of drama that shocked the markets in freefall. the focus now turns to what happens next we still have to secure that next package just the latest details also u.s. police weigh in with back to using tear gas to put down the anti corporate occupy movement but activists say the term stand the ground against the on. political ads and holding is popping up all across russia as the campaign kicks off to win seats in the country's lower house of parliament.
4:01 pm
midnight here in moscow welcome you're watching r.t. with me kevin now in this hour and first a big problem in this has been holding 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. out of the government at the center of first reports from the greek capital tonight. 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 cause inflation in parliaments in the early hours of the morning it was very very close he was always games at mit 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
4:02 pm
a lot of uncertainty still remains about what's going to happen now meeting for 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 with that look people 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 since 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 greek politicians of the central air from the 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 we're ask up and drove the leader of the center left party
4:03 pm
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 strategic package is shared but if you learn he said there is one missing out through 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. and politically just actually addressing the social needs of the people in this country and indeed if you. 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 announcement just what we seen
4:04 pm
playing out in the last week with. that message of uncertainty at a time when everyone was taking photos a unified front to synthesise but that's not what we're seeing it's all in of course leaving for the situation looking on an increasingly unstable ground so for a correspondent in athens i talked to russian devise a patrick young who told me that the rest of the fighting the heated political fallout from greece as his government fails to bring the financial situation under control. the whole situation we have here is a pole little disaster area i realize we're talking about economics but the problem is ours 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 to ransom 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 firm 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
4:05 pm
get results and he's just had a complete disaster of a 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 dimebag over a cliff it's going to go bankrupt and it's probably going to take the euro zone with it and that 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 right iest 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. coming up later in the program fighting corporate evil india's fourth quarter he's done little more than widen the gap between rich and poor making some resort to drastic measures before the. next pope but a widespread concerns that u.s.
4:06 pm
police are becoming increasingly heavy handed in breaking of the anti corporate occupy protests that have gripped the country from the two months now officers used force to disperse the u.s. capitol and take. three activist was struck by a car but the driver was in charge of the california city of oakland police unleashed tear gas and buttons on protesters and arrested more than one hundred several were seriously injured including a u.s. army veteran it's the second incident of police brutality the city's witnessed in a fortnight meantime in new york where the occupy movement began protesters camped out in zuccotti park are bracing themselves for a showdown he's reported i went to find out what authorities in the bigger story. 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 i mean the danger in the entire community saying
4:07 pm
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 almost people to come down to zuccotti park in effort to stir up some troubled and white hedy hard 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 have been safe here and i feel safe here but i think that you know the mayor is discussing big screen crimes that aren't haven't been reported what are those crimes that you think that there's probably carrying up to make another attempt to turn us from the park simply because someone walked
4:08 pm
into the park doesn't you know they're part of the movement a lot of these outlets have been 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 just drop it doesn't mean they reflect what we're doing or that we promote what they're doing princeton professor and activist stopper cornel 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 do you think there's anything criminal about you know dangerous about this encampment i think every section of new york city has a day and then. what it is they have a human community every human community here. still supporting oh my god yes one hundred twenty it was it overall though all the activists that we have spoken with
4:09 pm
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 a fortnight artsy. well another of our correspondents who was also covering the occupy protests to use twitter stream for more from her she digs out the scene as police weighed in to break up the latest protest in washington you get a total feed for full coverage of the. photos the british post office with. one of the demands driving the occupy movements an increased tax on the rich that could help bolster the beleaguered u.s. budget a little later this hour that we find out what some new yorkers think about that. as people get wealthier a higher percentage of the people they haven't up until they pass a certain point worse as you get given will be or you want even more after this takes the streets the big apple to gauge public opinion we've got
4:10 pm
a couple of stories. tens of thousands of people are teaming up with a growing occupied movement to take a shot at america's big banks this saturday it's officially envied by transfer day in the united states and the aim is to prove the private meeting bankers of the customers i spoke to read organizer kirsten christie and she said it's all for the benefit of the people and their communities their goal is not you heard anyone call it you should look all that well so far credit union sixteen an additional six hundred fifty thousand new members we are seeing positive improvements on the local level american economic experience to say that the security fence that we use for credit unions are actually a lot worse. and that is because difference in how profits are so crazy means higher actually it rains here experts more state than me and the biggest step we have rates make
4:11 pm
a profit by response that is exactly why it's there to be transferred it babe rates make a profit and a great state of i'm going to get that my money or not i definitely don't think transfer day if the shift to socialism in the political stance i think this is a consumer in community reawakening. israel's because the port who proposed to activists from the blocked for target have tried to carry medical supplies to gaza . and canadian current twenty seven foreign nationals from turkey on wednesday were boarded by israeli navy guards and towed away similar protest vessels have been intercepted in the past and in may last year it did the killing of knowing turkish nationals on board a filter because of the national outcry israel and since ease the blockade but activists who were promised to be people 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 their policy so that our citizens are allowed to lead
4:12 pm
a normal life a dignified life and not 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 flotillas are pointed challenge that 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 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 when violation of
4:13 pm
palestinian human rights occurs and our cities are looking for avenues by which to hold israel accountable. the u.n. nuclear watchdog will next week publish a report suggesting a rans build a nuclear testing facility and will show satellite images to prove it but around dismissed the alleged u.n. claims calling them fabricated and these allegations come amid reports of possible military action against the country's nuclear facilities all friday the israeli president said when it comes to iran quote that the international community is closer to finding a military solution than a diplomatic one but again a sin editor of the in for was website says the west has wanted to take action against the round for years but an attack would inflame 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 has reached a stage in its research where this is the precursor to an a bomb to an tomic bomb and what they've done is they've done research into do to ride nucular physics and
4:14 pm
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 was absolutely flabbergasted and the hard line 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
4:15 pm
geopolitical situation right now in the region going to tack 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. here in russia a massive election campaign so full swing with seven parties competing for seats in the duma that's the country's lower house of parliament candidates have until december third to woo voters with on air the great and enticing adverts on t.v. and in print media of the country which over reports on the race. for the nats thirty days all t.v. certain russia will be talking politics politics and politics in other words the labor the rule of the people and socialism and it will stop freedom solidarity and justice our three centuries some of the most storied going on his party which stands for the poor and for russians. who is on our banners future is with us on the banners educating for the top political parties and head of the december abode
4:16 pm

4:17 pm
a must and that's just while just russia comes up with a robin hood plan to help the poor with the money of the reach for one of our number one. he's fighting poverty in introducing tax on luxury business on country should brief really. there had been another runner in this race lobbying for both small and big businesses billionaire me hope prokhorov hopes were high he would created powerful lobby for western mind of the liberals in parliament proper of him was even considering running for president of the complaint failed. it field because of prose personality and thought that to run a party as a seems to run a business this is a strategic mistake to consider the other party members who'd been with a great cause much longer than him not his teammates as his subordinates and they responded to him with the right cause will take part in the vote but it's listed among outsiders one month ahead of elections polls suggest united russia will gain
4:18 pm
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 it policed one seat in the duma they will have to overcome a five percent threshold i mean very for has the united russia party is least has even put his political future on the table saying he's possible post as the country's prime minister the brand and how well the point in reforms and election booths prime minister putin is also backing united russia and has even become somewhat of a trademark of the party over the years and it shows under certain brazil malott shows will each receive a sparkling new keyset a welcome gift from the government business if its old daughter are exacting a certain will be made from white porcelain each with each cup must hold
4:19 pm
a certain amount of tea interesting new though not all of the same size two hundred four coffee sets or twelve preserves while the remaining. four hundred fifty are just still down six prison stats and while it's not clear which devotees will win which serves some joke the discrepancy means the united russia party has plans for a tea party of its own following the december vote by winning at least two hundred four duma seats it seems that silver i see more skilled elsewhere in the world tonight starting you know a jury a series of bomb and gun attacks there's left at least sixty seven killed and more than a hundred injured the assault of the time of the damage to the bus to more than an hour it in several targets including the local police precinct and several churches the radical muslim circuit claimed responsibility for the attack and promised more strikes in the future on friday the same group also attacked

a tax hike for rich americans who demonstrators blame for the economic downturn marie harf an assessment on the streets of new york to see if 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 pay pay more in taxes yes they absolutely said yes but i want too much money so i'm not going to answer the most ten million too much too much for too much when the limit when millions and after how i would say if people make more than a million dollars and they have bet on their bank account should they be forced to give back a moral or a moral and outs and general interesting lee i saw once the answer the question do you have enough money to curve goes like this as your wealth increases so people
4:26 pm
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 enough until they pass certain point whereas as you get even wealthier you want even more so if you made ten million dollars which 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 you do in scandinavia maybe so sometimes if you know for 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. of a few minutes of the program was because the tories were expensive hotels for the.
