10:02 am
his box announcement of a referendum on the e.u. rescue plan only to drop it for me afterwards marquees and he said our following is something. the everchanging greek drama. center stage in cannes for the g twenty three hero host nicolas sarkozy protecting what he calls the beating heart of europe till the end presuppositions a resolution which is very strong angela merkel annoy agree on this and we will fight to defend europe and the euro. france and germany took action with this message to greece played by the rules were get out the greek prime minister made a cameo appearance in cam returned to athens and cancelled an improv referendum that would have more last allowed the public to decide if they stay or if they go when it comes to the euro perish the thought that they should actually be allowed to decide whether they want these things euro leaders say it is up to greet. should
10:03 am
look like a success for greece is an independent country and i just want to say they are perfectly free they don't want to give any idea that we're trying to increase domestic politics. france has given some exactly that idea there is no longer an independent country has been for a while and the conversation is always on what we need to do to satisfy our creditors demands our creditors are the people who are going to determine whether we survive or don't survive and the so-called backbone of the eurozone could be trying to save its backside with a statement from sarkozy that those who break deficit rules should be punished some with sanctions even if he is breaking the same rules back home in france they're running a budget deficit of beyond what what the rules of mass rich provide for the real irony with that is that the the french banks are are so desperate for some sort of a bailout and if they didn't get one for greece for example they could potentially go under and could be playing
10:04 am
a major role in the fight to save the euro some hope for the single currency lines with the emerging economies or the brics were already pledged to try and help the euro stay afloat but with a condition president medvedev says they want to play a bigger role in financial institutions like the i.m.f. and the group of twenty format already it seems some headway there as for the first time ever the g twenty summit will be held in a brics country and it takes place in moscow russia in two thousand and thirteen reporting from cannes and he's in our in our city. chair of economics at erasmus university our your plumber says that even if a new coalition government is formed in greece it will provide only a temporary solution to the crisis the big problem that the greek government has is its population behind. and it doesn't seem the people in greece are all that willing. as all the measures that are taken and that are depressed the. cause
10:05 am
a great you are suffering among many of the greek people are rather disturbed earth even though they say that they're on hold on to the euro they don't want to or all are put up with all the measures that are the default on them so a new government for a few more months creates sounds. solution for give some space for new measures for the regions is ruling out and really the greeks are willing to go along that is can be dealt seriously and so i don't see where they really have a nature or titian's have the measures and the instruments are all this crisis. coming up historic day for the palestinians. general conference as does. this draft resolution and to it meet palestine its members don't you know.
10:06 am
but that's right complications for the heritage body and the palestinian bid for full statehood at the u.n. . and u.s. police are turning up the heat on the as a corporate i'll keep my movement which has spread across the country since it began nearly two months ago the worst flare up of violence happened this week in california officers tear gas a crowd of peaceful protesters in the city of oakland several people who joined the demonstration were seriously injured including a u.s. army veteran and over one hundred arrests were made it's a second type of forces crackdown on a rally in the city of the past two weeks the capital was there in the midst of it all reporting for r.t. . there are at least a hundred the not two hundred three hundred police officers in full riot gear several i'm as you can see advancing behind us right now on the occupy oakland movement now we don't know how many officers are back there we saw a massive group of them sort of a walk down that street before that was the street of the spandau for several
10:07 am
protesters had barricaded the street from the police several several pieces of furniture and whatnot were lit on fire but again not enough of an action to provoke this kind of a militant response by the police force here earlier thousands marched peacefully on the port of oakland shutting it down no arrests reported whatsoever in fact it didn't even see any of the police officers out there and yet after the peaceful march of this scene unfolding on the streets of oakland no other media outlets no other television outlets here on the frontlines we have been standing here we have seen tear gas fired several protesters injured from the tear gas in fact you can smell it in the air right now i wish i could describe it better but a very intimidating show of force when you have this line of police. slowly marching forward with protesters in front of them the mood isn't stream lee tense we don't know how this will develop but people are sort of running out from the side streets that perhaps there's more confrontations down that way whether or not they're going to clear the camp remains to be seen but as you can see these
10:08 am
officers are marching behind this takes their hands because you can't get any closer on that shot but they're certainly coming here the crowd as you can hear is chanting oakland perhaps you can see over there several police officers with their weapons outa shooting here yesterday's loud sort of kind of raid the gun actually for anything but air scare that the protesters and journalists on site. help police are moving in to break up occupy demonstrations across america several arrests were made with force in atlanta and washington where police have a habit this was caught on camera by r t and in new york where the movement began in mid september protesters camping out as a cottage park are determined to stand their ground they say authorities are preparing to attempt an eviction week activists seven martin thinks the police could be acting to provoke the history of years oh yeah a lot of people try to paint this movement as you know we're not unified we don't
10:09 am
have a cohesive message but as far as i can see we have one message and it's corporate greed and we're not standing for it anymore and a matter what your signs say or what you're saying it all stems from the same source which is for greed running amuck so i'd say that we could have a unified message there were i mean i heard some estimates up to twenty thousand people peacefully marching and successfully shutting down the port of oakland which was huge but you have to ask yourself you know we know for a fact there was a cop watch that you done an exposé showing these working as undercover agents and to the occupy oakland movement so who are the provocative words if there was provocation and the group is it undercover police we don't know all we know is that we had mass and. massive the only one the majority of us running peaceful urging people remain peaceful and you have two people throwing things and lighting a dumpster on fire so were the cops we don't know but it's a shame to paint the whole movement as violent when it seems like there's just a few anarchists causing trouble but also keep your finger on the pulse of the
10:10 am
occupy movement as it continues its rapid spread across america i just head to our twitter stream for all the latest updates from lucy kaplan all that and the rest of our u.s. bureau including photos and videos from the chance. to . go to. the arab league is demanding an immediate end to bloodshed in syria as a peace deal brokered by the organization seems to have failed dozens more anti-government activists are reported killed in the country as the army continues to suppress the protests and that's despite
