cool season so to. return. on our t.v. greek prime minister george wins a parliamentary confidence vote by a narrow margin and seeks to form a government of national unity save the country's crippled economy. but it takes now turns to what happened that still we still have to secure that next package. the latest details. also us please weigh in with handcuffs buttons and tear gas to put down the anti corporate occupy movement but activists say the term would stand their ground against the all. other off the race begins in russia's parliamentary elections with t.v. speeches and campaign posters trying to capture voters are several parties competing the december fourth ballot.

why i am here in moscow welcome you watching r.t. with me kevin now in our top story the greek prime minister george patton drives holding talks to form a new government of national unity after he survived a crucial confidence vote in parliament he wants a new coalition to implement the deal with the eurozone and i.m.f. to slash the country's foreign debts in return for massive reforms of the stairs and cuts but his plans have been rebuffed by the opposition leader who wants to stand. first as well with details from athens. there's a lot of confusion about what that coalition government is going to look like that we saw this happen sure and his government by that called his nation in parliaments in the early hours of the morning it was very very close it was always going to be a was a week at mit 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 case happen now moving forward with 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 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 all stereotypic which is will continue as the only policy coming out of the euro zone the pressure on greek politicians essentially from the center right because of those stair to 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

a stereotype that is we've had so far were asked up and drove a leader of the center left party doesn't want the collections because he's deeply implicated in these policies and wants a national government a government of national unity so that the responsibility for the strategy package is shared but if you love me sara 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 political just actually addressing the social needs of the people in this country and indeed if you feel that there really is a very valid point what a lot of people talking about here today is that is the missing ingredient that public opinion here very very disappointed the announcement yesterday what we've

seen 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 of course meeting for the situation looking on an increasingly unstable. investment for youngsters the rest of the euro zone's feeling the heat of political fallout from greece's 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 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 reserved around something this week we've had happened 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 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 dangling 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. now coming up later in the program fighting corporate evil india's flourishing we've done little more than widen the gap between rich and poor making some resort to drastic measures as we report for you bit later. next the police crackdown on empty corporate demonstrations

continues in the united states as officers disperse a demonstration this time in washington d.c. and remove protesters tense three activists were knocked down by a car the driver wasn't charged and in the california city of oakland police unleashed tear gas flash grenades and buttons on protesters and the made over a hundred arrests several people were seriously injured including the u.s. army veteran it's the second major violent clash involving police and protesters in the city in a fortnight made time new york where the occupy movement began protesters camped out in zuccotti park and they're bracing themselves for a showdown. when to find out what the authorities in the big apple may 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 movie injuring 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 the forts to the police some media outlets have also learned 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 and why he d. has denied those accusations he 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 and i feel safe here well i think that you know the mayor has got a big screen time that are having been reported what are those crimes that you

think that they are probably carrying up to make another attempt to. turn the park simply because someone walked into the park doesn't mean they're part of the movement a lot of these out but they've 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 coming here and that's fine you know we want to welcome people in but certainly because someone destructive doesn't reflect what we're doing or that we promote what they're doing princeton professor and activist stopper cornell west who's been a huge supporter of the occupation movement was down here in zuccotti park r.t. had a chance to catch up with him to get his thoughts on what mayor bloomberg has recently said i just think he's grown a bit trying to come up with a rationalization with no convincing reason. anything going on about you know dangerous about because. i think. new york city has made it. what it is there were human community and very human community here 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. and other rock correspondents lucic our flaws also covering the occupy protests you had to at least try to strip for more from her she was the guy to see the least wait in the break of the latest protest in washington you can log on to twitter feed for coverage of the instant polluting picture spoke with me and take me to. one of the demands driving the occupy movements increased tax on the rich that could help bolster the beleaguered u.s. budget a little later this hour we find out what some new yorkers think about that. as people get wealthier a higher percentage of them think they have it up until a certain point words as you get even wealthier you want even more for half the

mistakes the streets the bigger the gauge public opinion it's on air in just a couple of minutes time. tens of thousands of people are teaming up with the growing occupy movement to take a shot at america's big banks this saturday it's officially called bank transfer day in the u.s. and the aim is to deprive leading bankers of their customers i spoke to by the organizer kristen christian she said it's all for the benefit of the people and their communities. the goal is not you hurt anyone call it i'm still local level so far credit unions have seen an additional six hundred fifty thousand new members we are seeing positive improvements on the local level a mere economic acts to save the city and us for credit unions are actually a lot worse. and that is because of the difference in our profits so credit unions where actually according to experts. and the biggest is that recently rates make

a profit my response that is exactly why it's sort of a transfer day that they have rates make a profit and i rate it's going to get them a many are not i definitely don't think they transferred ship to socialism in the political stance i think this is a consumer community. israel's going to put in probe to fish from a coded for term of a proto coated medical supply to boats irish and canadian car and putting seven foreign nationals a search so from turkey on wednesday they were boarded by israeli navy guards and towed away similar protos persons would intercept from the past and in may last year the killing of nine turkish nationals on porter for to cause an international outcry israel ease the blockade but activist away to a rough 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 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 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 rights of the palestinian people respected and we think that through this mechanism we will have more avenues by which to hold israel responsible for continued violation of rights and medicine thing 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 u.n. nuclear watchdog will next week publish a report suggesting iran's built a nuclear testing facility and it said to show satellite images to prove it but surrounds dismissed the alleged u.n. claims called fabricated and these allegations also come amid reports of possible military action against the country's nuclear facilities on friday the israeli president said when it comes to iran quote but the international community is closer to finding a military solution than a diplomatic one actually henningsen editor of the info was websites will be the west has wanted to take action against advancing these what an attack would inflame the whole middle east region. whether 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 aide to and tonic clonic and what they've done is they've done research in to 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 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 in the hardline look at hardline we were really upset about this leak but they caught it i tip my hat to these people in israel who did leak this information because it's absolute madness if you look at the geopolitical

situation right now in the region an attack on iran is going to basically put gasoline on a fire that is already reached incredible temperatures so it's not it's not something we can afford. a campaign would say to russia's lower house of parliament started seven parties have until the getting a percent of the voters with all your speeches and print media has a country approach over investigates what chances each party's got. for the nats thirty days old t.v. certain russia will be talking politics politics and politics in other words not a waiver of the rule of the people and socialism if appropriate him solidarity and justice our three centuries some of the most storied going on is a party which stands for the poor and for russian the national motto is on all banners future is with us on banners educating for the top political parties and head of the december vote have been out for a while but the most cherished free t.v.

and radio air has just been sliced seven parties are in the running for the duma seats and while the countries need political florists 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 solve it and style chair holyoke communists haven't lied a single time in one hundred years we save the country from fascism in world war two we twice see the country from collapsing we were the first in space your local firms your liberal democrats are yet again appealing to nationalism. 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 poor with the money of the reach for want to reform number one is fighting poverty and introducing tax on a luxury business and country should. brief really. there had been and not a runner in this race lobbying for both small and big businesses billionaire me how proper of hopes were high it would create a powerful lobby for western minded liberals and parliament palmer of himself was even considering running for president for the compay now feels. it feels because of pro whose personality he thought that to run a party is the seems to run a business this is a strategic mistake he considered other party members had been with a great cause much longer than teammates but as a subordinate and they responded by ousting him with the right cause will take part in the vote 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 polls coming

second are communists with fourteen percent the liberal democrats will secure at least nine percent of the other four parties it will be largely about how they perform in t.v. debates and to secure a key least one seat in the duma they will have to overcome a five percent threshold. very for has the united russia party is least has even put his political future on the table saying he's possible posed as the country's prime minister the ban on how well the party performs at 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 pictures understand. each receive a score of ping 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 cream each part must hold a certain amount of tea interesting you go not all so all the same size two hundred

four are tea and coffee talk while the remaining four hundred fifty are just scaled down six persons that's. and while it's not clear which davies will win which starts some joke the discrepancy means the united russia party has plans for a tea party of its own following the december vote by winning up east two hundred four duma seats it seems their children are most. in nigeria a series of bomb going to texas where fully sixty seven people killed more than one hundred injured two sold in the town of the loss of 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 on friday the same group also attacked the military headquarters of neighboring state with a triple suicide bombing in plummer troops killed

we've been left out of india's big city economic boom i think street has got the story. these are the images people recognize when they think of india as maoist rebels for almost twenty five years the group has attempted to overthrow the government using violence and intimidation to turn india into a communist society in their eyes the government is not taking any interest in the indigenous people of rural india the government has called the maoists the single biggest security threat to india and it's hold them responsible for displacing and killing thousands of civilians but far from the jungles of india a new maoist revolution is brewing like the movement in the rural areas this one is also anti-establishment but is largely focused on overthrowing multinational companies and development the maoists argue that the arrival of multinational companies here is actually cause further a divide between rich and poor they want to be in india without the presence of

on major websites like fox and facebook network today while americans are marking national move your money day it's a story we're covering online also the fruits of labor costs this push in baby cover the world's seven billion citizens been sent a ton of oranges from south africa has a rather juicy rule quote what is going to do with it i don't get a taste of. tea dot com. as the occupy protest movement grips the u.s. for a second month opinions are divided over some of it say one of them is a tax hike for the rich americans and demonstrators blame for the economic downturn in the first place it is more a half and it has been on the streets of new york to see if people there agree.

the general public has been vilified by the very rich lately so what does the public instead are 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 but i want too much money so i'm not going to answer. those ten million in two months too much for to me one when the limit when millions another dad would say if people made more than a million dollars and they have better in their bank account should they be forced to give back a more of their amoral and sounds in general interestingly i saw once that to answer the question do you have enough money the 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 it passes 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 rom 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. of the way of our skies or us oh it's possible just the booze of a hot tin the dollars stroup story coming up first a week of top stories just watching.
