it's more. circular for all of us said in a statement expressing russia's dismay at the decision to suspend syria from the arab league he said thus with russia's help and advice president assad has been implementing the reforms that were put forward by the arab league at a meeting on the second of november to a peace deal a deal to try and broker peace in the syrian conflict noam scheiber said he left office said this the decision to suspend syria from the arab league is counterproductive to a peace deal saying that the this decision really sends a message to the syrian opposition to to continue fighting against president assad's on the pro government forces in syria not getting them to the table to discuss a peaceful resolution to this now russia has tried to mediate in the past and has offered it serves his members representatives from both the syrian leadership and

the syrian opposition have been here in moscow for talks and in fact in the next couple of days a senior syrian opposition member will be here in the russian capital for further talks to try to bring about that peaceful solution on wednesday we're expecting to see that rubber stamp put on the decision to suspend syria from the arab league now the last nation to be suspended from the arab league libya and of course that is altered in the outside military intervention something that russia again was opposed to any military intervention that went far beyond the parameters that were laid out in un resolutions and when it came to the chance of imposing a u.n. resolution on syria russia blocking that decision from going through we're also seeing the reaction from the syrian people tens of thousands out on the streets of damascus across syria protesting against this decision to suspend syria from the arab league they want to find

a peaceful solution to put an end to this conflict that's going on for eight months now with an estimated three thousand five hundred people being killed during it. bass political analyst kamel wasn't think syria's neighbors are being used as the puppets of the west by going against a mask. when we talk about the arab league we're talking about the burgeoning gulf country which actually maintain bases for the american they maintain the power of the american in the region order came from the united states when the president of the united states and its administration tell the opposition not. lay down their arms and continue to shoot the syrian army the growth country they're not looking to because they don't have one and the united states cannot talk about democracy because there are crimes in iraq and other parts of the world still visible so here when we look at the west is interesting in maintaining its interests and keeping

the balance in check they lost iraq they want to compensate for it in syria and now it's actually bush and up to play their dirty role. and you can have your say on the situation in syria on our website r.t. dot com this time we're asking whether the libyan scenario could be repeated there mongan and have your voice heard so far the most popular response is that nato will intervene anyway even without u.n. backing the answer no nato wouldn't dare intervene fearing bloody war in the middle east comes in second some of you think that syria is too strong and assad has too much support for the while the men not minorities so far things that nato will intervene with u.n. backing and overthrow president assad go online now to cast your vote. to nearby iran though where moscow says sanctions have outlived their usefulness and insists they won't support any additional measures against the islamic state the statement for from russia's foreign minister follows the diploma diplomatic

fallout in the international community over a un report it suggested to iran could be developing a nuclear weapon jamal ob deep policy director at the national iranian american council says that new sanctions would be counterproductive and could damage the world economy. there's two paths here either you do the military thing which has been presented as ok couple one off strikes and then you know it's over but in reality and what the u.s. defense secretary recently said is that the best that that would do is set iran's program back by two or three years you would see them rapidly escalate the program they'd go into you know manhattan project sort of mentality and pursue a nuclear weapon outright and you know in a lot of respects be driven into that. the other alternative for the military action is full scale war which nobody can afford right now iran has not been as cooperative as they need to be and that's actually that's the game here that's what

we need to be working on in terms of you know those who want to see that iran does not at some point in the future develop a nuclear weapons capability with the new sanctions that are being talked about it's actually we're at a point where where we've run out of things to sanction and we're actually looking at things that are going to sanction ourselves there's talk of sanctioning iran central bank which would effectively take iranian oil off the market and you know it could put the world into economic tailspin. you know with our t. still have this our oceans apart at the asia pacific summit. talks between the u.s. and china over trade and currency issues as the apec summit comes to a close in hawaii. and books and boot camp top military style discipline will soon be introduced in some u.k. schools to strike now unruly pupils but a new front opens up in the debate with a warning it's a step too far. the new italian prime minister mario monti

is in the process of forming a new government that such to tackle the country's economic troubles dubbed super mario his policies have already received support from italy's main parties and big businesses our correspondent sara firth takes a look at the challenges ahead. it was never going to be easy to project this year at seventeen countries of which are now under one currency attracted fierce criticism we've witnessed the beginning of a dishonest and downright dangerous german president. to revive the constitution but to do it in such a way that you want to avoid referendums in like a member states some might now be wishing they'd heeded the warnings one after another the member states began to wobble at least the latest country to come under scrutiny we have been witnessing in the last at least one long. growing pressure

from europe and i'm talking in particular from france and germany hardly the u.k. certainly the european parliament and the commission for what it's going to start but the crisis is safest in the leaders of greece and italy replaced by people who were never elected to office he made their way around brussels here it is totally with palace gainey now gone doesn't. paying for reforms now need to be implemented to meet tough. for the first time since the crisis began talks have now begun to turn to the possibility of exit from the year or the creation of the cool europe countries like germany seem to be leading the way but i think it's not in the best interest of the germans to keep on going with this attitude over here where you have behaved badly we're going to punish that's not a union in united states of america if a state behaves badly imagine taxes behaving badly what you think obama is going to do we're going to kick you out of united states of america no they're not going to

do that the growing sense of bad year agree pretty good year has not gone on missed by struggling countries lost it's clear that those who have a spend less now face up to painful stereotyping measures the sense of being treated like a naughty school child any added to the growing strength. community is. now sarsi because well so the say it will expose much more france and especially germany to the times there are the must be up to us to say to to express a political leadership not just for their own countries but for europe as a whole your attentions have no gold on this by the financial markets punish political leaders in the phaeton dealing with the crisis the struggling economies like italy and now cools off leaving the new breathing for the stakes its least being considered by many the test case for the entire a year you say it fails and it could take down the entire fifth the the question

now is whether or not those measures can fix feet whether we'll see them going the same way as previous measures put forward by european leaders who say fall fails to come up with a convincing your rescue. a. well one man constantly ruffling the feathers of the world's financial hierarchy our very own max kaiser he says that the former bankers now heading european governments have their own agendas. well in the eurozone what we're seeing is in place of elected officials put in place unelected bankers and of course they work together they work with the central banks to keep the keys keeping interest rates near zero percent because this allows them to fund their speculations of zero cost the main agenda is to create more debt so in the euro zone they have an opportunity to bring all the balance sheets of all the countries together and create new lending facilities like the f.s.f. which is

a new five trillion euro lending facility and they want to build on that to create ten twenty trillion euro lending facilities because bankers get paid on how much debt they create nevermind the fact that the pay for the debt ultimately their film pose more austerity measures so more austerity measures more debt more fees for bankers more financial terrorism. a number of breakthroughs have been made at this year's apec summit in hawaii that brought together the leaders of twenty one member nations all the countries pledged to pursuit of pacific wide free trade zone something the u.s. had pushed for. a bit is that better. on the sidelines of the summit presidents maybe they have an obama met to discuss moscow's the session to the world trade organization and the cancellation of a cold war provision in u.s. law which restricts trade with russia at the same time the u.s. has turned up its criticism of america's biggest economic rival china saying it keeps its currency artificially weak to benefit its export hers china says that the

yuan has to rise gradually to avoid harming its economy journalist pepe escobar says that under current economic conditions china should not be dictated to by the united states. first of all china is right the rules are sort of play the west known to china in order to buy. becoming american to list power and conquering the world by many factoring cheap products exported all over the world and united states instead decided to wage wars all across the world and i mean africa as well. what kind of rules are deeds and downright effective debt kerosene they're not going to the value of their currency because obama or biden or u.s. congress wants it they have a mechanism inside the bank of china which is coordinate and a gradual devaluation of the one this is going to happen within the next shorts of five years and to reach a maximum of ten percent of the us once twenty five percent now it's not going to

happen the chinese will dictate when and how in the fall you must devaluation of their currency so what obama is doing splay basically to the galleries and side the usa and also to the republicans who are practically declaring war on iran and then on china if we are watching that in terms of the problems of the u.s. at the moment days with there will be only one way to solve it which would be in terms of half the budget of the pentagon it's not going to be reduced any time soon because we want to ministration me you want is not what the generals want so we're going to have full spectrum dominance war forever all over and now day article sexualizing how they're going to wage war against china eat asia as well in the indian ocean and in the south china sea so we should make the connection of what the pentagon wants the long term agenda of what republicans want which is all sort of the long war. you can always find more stories on our web site here's

a quick look at what else is lined up for you at our team dot com right now. and if possible we examined video of frank serves allegedly firing from the war ship that kickstarted the russian revolution more than ninety years ago. we look into allegations that the new york police department is targeting suspects purely by their religion that full story is online for you right now at our team dot com. police in the u.s. have clamped down on me occupy the movement with a nighttime raids on peaceful protest camps and marchers across the country in oakland officers in riot gear with helicopter support raided the city park tearing

down tents and arresting activists protesters and media were told to leave the area after it was designated a crime scene but protesters have vowed to return and to continue to make their voices heard this comes almost two weeks after thousands rallied to shut down the city's port after an iraq war veteran sustained severe head injuries during a demonstration. of fun of was in oakland as authorities moved into victim the occupy campaigners. now again as though most dawn of a moon is still out the helicopters are roaming around across the us it's been several hours away to try to figure out and see exactly how this would go down a surprisingly low number of arrests again we just saw a small group of people over there who were peacefully essentially expressing their right to protest who were taken away a lot of the campers had left we saw a lot of cameras packing up their materials leaving earlier in the day as you can see these pieces of structure remain there's helmets

a lot of these are. my comment a lot of these are also actually used in protests to protect against various non-lethal weapons that are often used by the riot police officer sara we did not see any of those used today again this whole confrontation while tens of went down so far fairly peacefully coming to here this used to be the media tent where the occupy wall street protesters a sort of helped journalists figure out what to do whom to talk to and i guess that's about to be taken down as we speak and we've just witnessed an elderly gentleman being handcuffed and led away there's a little bit of a fatigue with the confrontations with the police that have happened almost every week here in oakland now and it does look like a lot of people decided you know what it's not worth there right now but as for the broader movement i don't think based on talking to the protesters here that this is going to dampen things they cannot afford. to raise every day we will break.

all the cities across the globe to try to stop occupying. before daybreak will again what we've witnessed today was the final takedown whuffie occupy wall street camp the encampment here that's been dubbed by the protesters oscar grant plaza where i'm standing right now we just heard from the police officer has now been deemed a quote crime scene so members of the media are not allowed to walk through here anymore and we have to keep in mind that on october twenty fifth that infamous night that the iraq war veteran scott olsen injured in the head with a non-lethal tear gas canister projectile. as you can see we're being asked the man if. that was the night that was the that was the day that followed the raid and that was when the situation really got out of hand so remains to be seen whether the protesters will come back how they're going to react to the camp getting shut down again fairly nonviolent fairly peaceful a smooth operation this morning but how it's all going to play out in the. these

remains to be a c.n.n. reporting party in oakland the captain of. the u.k. government plans to open new schools with army style boot camp disciplined to control disruptive pupils the measure was proposed after several cities including london were rocked by riots in august supporters believe it will weaponry early teens into shape but others think it will just make them worse archies over bet it has more as the going gets tough the tough get going army boot camps are the places set out of line it's this culture of self-control the government now wants to bring into schools so it's calling on the cavalry will former soldiers to sort the front line to the front of a classroom following the riots across the u.k. the government for striking troops into teaching as a way it says to restore adults or thirty wants to provide more male role models even giving teachers new powers to use physical force as

a way to control disruptive pupils it's not a bad thing for children to know where they stand. if they step this side of the lie they will be punished accordingly if they stay on the right side of a lie. in the confines of the law and they will not be punished it's a line few would dare cross with a teacher like this afghans going to be headmaster at a new school where every teacher will be a former soldier uniform inspections and military style roll calls but with the polish of a strict routine when you can maintain discipline in a future war which is the most high pressured situation you can maintain discipline in a classroom in oldham but with corporal punishment now a step closer many fear it will push an already alienated youth further away i think they would start building their own gang as they've done towards the police now i've seen the police behave towards our kids is to gangs isn't it it's you could say the police are a gang it would be the army case the kids i think they would become more unruly

this charity takes in problem people's the state system chucks out and turns their lives around according to teachers here it's about finding the right kind of stimulation rather than just cracking the whip they become a ruler because they're bored putting discipline in isn't the answer and just on the tone this is yes but actually making sure to go something at their own level for this sixteen year old that happened to be art he was expelled from school after what he'll only refer to as an incident and is still too afraid to be identified back then he was on course to fail all his exams but after just a year here he passed fourteen a far cry from someone supposedly too disruptive to teach. more discipline for children in schools do you think that would have worked for. only one.

class of boring cause there's no talking it's just strict work. so you focus they wouldn't really want to go to their lives and individual attention was the only thing that turned this boy's education around but with a system that prides itself on conformant see the battle could be only just beginning on the bin it's. now to some other news making headlines around the world germany's intelligence service has come fire after it was revealed the neo nazi terrorist group had been operating country for more than a decade virtually undetected the group is accused of committing at least ten murders mostly of turkish immigrants it was uncovered only after two of its members committed suicide and the third one turned herself into police the case has already led to renewed calls for a ban of the far right national democratic party accused by authorities of being racist and revisionist. the norwegian man who confessed to killing seventy seven people has made his first public appearance in court he admitted carrying out the

massacre but refused to plead guilty saying he was a military commander in the norwegian resistance movement in july and that is brave a right wing extremist attacked central oslo with a car bomb and went on a deadly shooting rampage at a youth camp on the island of you toya his previous hearings have been held behind closed doors with the main trial expected to start in april. in afghanistan the taliban has obtained leaked government documents and cobol the papers include security arrangements for president hamid karzai and several cabinet ministers the group published the twenty seven pages on its website claiming the details would allow it to launch precision attacks afghan officials originally denied the papers were real but now confirm they're authentic and the security arrangements have changed. next we discuss the possibility of israel attacking around nuclear facilities you know watching our.

with me i have only have mary a long time israeli peace activist and a former member of the israeli parliament staff mary thank you very much for joining us here on our. what about the threat of further sanctions against iran are sanctions part of the solution or part of the problem i don't believe in thanks and frankly think. about if a country decides. to have

a nuclear bomb. for its own fifty friends. it only provides them sanctions want hope and. i think sanctions are just a pretext for the united states and europe not to do anything but they have to do something you cannot be an american president up for reelection. this seeming to do something. to frighten the iranians of therefore this they all talk about sanctions knowing that. but of course it does israel have the military capability to fight a war with iraq many people don't it it's a very significant fact that all the early security establishment not just me but all of the religious community. are they against an attack on.

iran the chief of the mossad the former chief. said that iran is the absolute most. ever heard in his life. on. my father biggest war which is one of their fault in comparable to any of the was basically egypt. other countries. it was with iran would mean one that israeli army will have two dozen. nuclear installations over and underground. to do the job to do it is it has to fly over. turkish syrian or jordanian so the arabian. should

question by itself and it would risk. reaction. certainty of reaction it would be tense of missile. raining down on us. iranian research. in lebanon maybe hamas missed from gaza it would come from all directions that is. certainly not prepared. to defend to. prevent these besides falling on us as the israeli public supports a strike on iran. it's a slight majority because one could expect. any public in any country of the word maybe except germany or supports the idea of making war

is part of the incitement on behalf of the government can talk about because of the growing isolation obvious role in the international community if if you wear latex and islamic country the whole islamic world will unite against them both shiites and sunnis it would make no difference the. connection with the arab spring democratic revolution in other countries. we resort all that. all hostile countries we will be facing a different birth the next day. i think the more you think about it the more irresponsible and and stooping the whole idea looks are you afraid for the future as well. lead of develop bents.

think of their lives. live in their bliss secure militarily vill be for. a long time to come if you don't make peace with the palestinians. will become soon. apartheid state. this is the real danger this is this would mean the collapse of anything. we had to hope for a live love only of mary thank you very much for joining us here on the t.v. thank you.
