well news and much more live from moscow you're watching r.t. . russia has lambasted the arab league's decision to expel syria and is accusing nato countries of inciting violence there but he voted for suspension and sanctions at the weekend triggering mass protests in the country as a pressure piles on the regime syrian opposition leaders are in moscow for talks let's get more from artie's peter all of this story peter what is likely to come out of these meetings. will the two sides the syrian opposition and the russian sides both things they want to gain from this meeting today in moscow the syrian opposition are looking for russian help in trying to find a solution to the crisis in syria they say that they want to start a new chapter in syria in russian relations the russian side are expected to call

on the syrian opposition to bring about an end to violence in the country and to think more about the people of syria as opposed to any kind of regime change in the country so far in the eight months this crisis is continued at the u.n. suggest around three and a half thousand people have been killed so far syria's expulsion from the decision to suspend syria from that the arab league over the weekend just saw the russian foreign minister express russia's dismay at the decision calling it counterproductive to a peace in the go to peace negotiations and suggesting that the shadowy hand of western governments had been behind the decision of the arab league to suspend syria from its membership. for syria has described the arab league's decision as illegitimate how has the legal sponsor to that peter. well the arab league. his

meeting on wednesday where it's expected. that decision to suspend syria from the group now they've also put forward a plan to send a five hundred strong delegation into syria on a fact finding mission now that delegation would contain military personnel they are saying and syria has welcomed this. sending this finding delegation into the country now in syria across syria we've seen protests from pro government protesters against the decision from the arab league to suspend them now we saw the embassies of saudi arabia and qatar the scene for some of these protests saudi arabia countries which voted to suspend syria from the group their embassies being targeted as well as protests across damascus and other places in syria where people believe that the decision is a wrong one and not one which will bring about peace in the country any time soon.

the king of jordan is the latest to join the chorus of disapproval over syria. to step down online journalist james corbett thinks it's unlikely. much longer. i really don't see a way for a side the assad government to maintain its current foothold clutch on the country given the way that things are unfolding. certainly russian or chinese overtures in that area would be i suppose helpful in this regard but i certainly don't know if it's going to make any fundamental difference in the same way that no amount of protest over what was taking place in libya really seem to be real that agenda and i think all this does is why of the notion that there was ever any consideration for what the people of syria really want certainly we see we see that playing out right now with syria and with the the thousands of people who are protesting in in favor of the assad government exactly as we saw earlier this summer we saw hundreds

of thousands potentially even more protesting in tripoli in support of the gadhafi government but that obviously had no effect on the rhetoric that was taking place in the west and now with this arab league suspension i think we see a dangerous new moment where we're really and you perhaps an even a military intervention is definitely on the table. well russia has long been against intervention in syria and later a former foreign minister a veteran diplomat explains why you get a primakov says that essence of libya and iraq. which i don't think the west is prepared to take this action that with a the security council's but i think we're smarter now than at the time when the first security council resolution was adopted we will not adopt another resolution using vague terms which could be used for legitimize in these activities. nobody knows when libya is going to recover from kills look at iraq for example it's been more than eighty years and they still can't stabilize the situation the t.v. never stopped supporting you casualties fifteen thirty did every day in iraq

explosions and so on it could happen so regularly that people get used to it and we start thinking this is normal it is killing us over eight and a half years of occupation there's been nothing they could do in libya it's going to be even tougher so i don't think. we've had much success in libya. yes the full interview with former russian prime minister get a prima coffins here in just over an hour's time. new technocrat led governments in greece and italy are getting down to business to tackle them massive debts italy's prime minister designate says it's too early to determine how his country will cope with more crisis measures but he's warning people of sacrifices ahead mario monti is trying to rally parties for support someone to him to go once reforms approved through either the former commissioner plans to stay on until the twenty thirteen election the clock is ticking for greece new prime minister heading

up a fifteen week mission because the nameless faces a confidence vote on wednesday and says securing the next bailout is a priority that his country must stick with the you it our business editor nick poole explores how the single currency has flaws have led some countries to rings rather than riches it was supposed to bring peace and prosperity for all for a while it did but now the euro is costing people their jobs their pensions and even the democratic rights from the beginning the flaws with for everyone to see skeptics the economies of the likes of italy and greece which is too different from germany in finland to be regulated by one system optimism and idealism curried the new currency was called it was strong and stable but was regulated in ways of german central bank might approve of their in later seeds of the problem greece italy portugal and spain now had their hands on

a strong currency and could borrow against it and unlike before the interest rates they would have to pay would be much less so they could borrow much more which is what they did italy currently has a debt to g.d.p. ratio around one hundred twenty percent greece is more than one hundred sixty. and that's a bit like somebody with an income of twenty thousand dollars a year i mean thirty two thousand on their credit card they will be bankrupt the banks won't lend them any more money the flat screen t.v. will be repossessed and will be a diet of cabbage and potatoes in the worst case the house will get. similar for a country but instead public sector pay is caught and thousands of people are forced out of jobs before the euro greece and italy always had the possibility of devaluing the currency when times were this had the effect of lowering total debt and of conferring a competitive advantage as products this is a labor became cheaper and this stimulated economic growth it also made people poorer as the money in their pockets was worth less but crucially it did not result

in mass redundancies especially not imposed by foreign powers under hard currency like the euro this option is no longer available to the indebted nations so instead they must come out and because they remain uncompetitive they cannot grow the worst of both worlds. the politicians fail to put a lid on greece and italy soaring borrowing the question now is whether the economic hit squads can do any better financial expert max keiser is far from convinced saying the bankers behind the scenes are continuing to play the system. it's the night of the living death and all of these zombie bankers they can't get rid of them you can't kill them they live to bank another day they are a plague around the world and certainly in europe there are no old actions but they're putting bankers in charge to bring about total banker domination as the world goes down a slippery slope into banker hell in place of the elected officials put in place an

elected banker 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 and zero cost they don't want to spend any money to borrow money to put the outrages of bets on the table and every time they lose a bed they impose more austerity measures every time they win a bet they keep one hundred percent of the profits in the eurozone they have an opportunity to bring all the balance sheets of all the countries together and create new lending facilities like a 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 never mind the fact that the pay for the debt ultimately they have to impose more austerity measures more austerity measures more debt more fees for bankers more financial terrorism. yes my skies it is your host in twenty minutes

time and r.t. but he and stacy take another side swipe at some of the efforts to stop the rot in the world according. well before then there were reports on the torture and abuse on america's watch ten years on the tourist one tiny baby prison and it's still going strong despite widespread condemnation to promise to close it also. like this strange noise is creating a buzz among the great enthusiasm around the world investigates what it could mean and where it may be coming from a few minutes. police in oakland in california have dismantled tents put up by the self-styled occupy protesters similar attempt three weeks ago the violent clashes which left an iraq war veteran severely injured moving the camp force the resignation of a top adviser to. saying the city is on the wrong side of the dispute after the

raid though the authorities allowed protesters to return as long as they didn't set up camp. right across america against social inequality and corporate greed for almost two months now. has more on the developments on the west coast. we're here in downtown oakland where the occupy wall street protesters are marching back to the very same from which they were just hours ago now we've heard reports of the police spending close to one million dollars and getting police departments from all across the area to come down in a big these protesters why the expense of the occupy wall street movement is going to continue to remain is very very unclear now we did see heavy handed show of force just thirty two arrests not too much confrontation with protesters and the police behaved in a much more way than they had in previous times when the excessive use of this here gas flash bang grenades and all kinds of other non-lethal weapons now i'm here with leo he is one of the protesters he's been here from the start what's your sense now

why is he allowing everyone to come out of the city realize this is the last time they used. full force bers say it actually drove more and more people into the streets so by actually stepping back in small ways it makes it seem a little bit less scary the mayor has actually said that she will allow us to continue to have general assemblies in the plaza as long as we again do not camp out the hours of ten pm till six in the morning right now we still have our ciliary can't park so you know for the most part we're at the same place we were before two weeks ago except with a lot less tear gas and a lot less injured people we are here to stay and you know every hour every day this occupation is here to stay and we're not going away well you heard the man himself the occupation is here to stay and we had our tea we'll be covering it for you this is lucy kaplan over porting for our tea in downtown oakland and in fact we're getting details that police have begun clearing out protest camps in new york

they've been ordered to leave zuccotti park which has been telling comment that. there are also reports of pepper spray and some protesters the authorities say they can return once the head. activists. tomorrow two months since the occupy movement began. warning against imposing new sanctions on iran saying the policy has outlived its usefulness the foreign minister's comments for the diplomatic fallout from a human watchdogs reports suggesting tehran could be developing an atomic weapon. has been hearing how further sanctions could backfire on america and europe. it's actually we're at a point where we've run out of things to sanction and we're actually looking at things that are going to sanction ourselves there is 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 there's really there's two paths here either you do the military thing which has been presented as ok a 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. other alternative for the military action is full scale war which nobody can afford right now then the other path that you have is a diplomatic resolution and that's sort of the path that not a lot of people are willing to talk about but if the end goal is to solve this and not do immense damage to the u.s. and the globe there is going to have to be a day in the future when we are at the table with iran and we actually set up an

agreement where iraq is not able to develop a nuclear weapons capability they have safeguards on their program and you know we address some of the issues that we have concerns about and we avoid a devastating war. but undercover operation to weaken iran might already be underway as altie reports online now investigate claims that israel's intelligence agency could be behind an explosion at the military base in iran killed seventeen people including a key figure in iranian defense also. cosmic journey of a russian rocket is sending a crew three on its way to the international space station after a successful launch on monday these another stories don't you think it's a set. the world's most notorious military prison is still open for business despite repeated pledges by president obama to get it closed down it's ten years since george w. bush opened the guantanamo bay facility which has been billed by on occasions of

torture and abuse investigative reporter jason the appalled believes his country is betraying the principles it promotes. were hypocrites where this administration has actually fought every corpus case that has appeared in a d.c. court room so you know we're we're very good at preaching but not practicing what we're preaching so it's integrity it's credibility credibility is is the number one issue right now. there is a lot of rhetoric there's a lot of promises that have been made it's political this came down to deal making with senators such as john mccain lindsey graham where they would not get behind certain policies that the president wanted to push forward unless there were promises made that first of all guantanamo would remain open that military

commissions would continue i think that for the most part it's fear mongering and it's politically charged. of the other world news now at this hour nuclear contamination in japan is proving to be worse than expected radioactive material in parts of the northeast exceeding levels say for farming is the first detail the estimate of the pollution caused by the fukushima disaster in march production in the contaminated areas is likely to be severely affected by the findings. killing spree in germany is being linked to a near nazi terrorist cell which the government admits went unnoticed the failure to connect her known far right group with unsolved murders of nine migrant workers and the policewoman has been described as shameful by chance that i. think we came to light when one suspect turned herself in and two others committed suicide.

a norwegian man who confessed to killing seventy seven people has appeared in public in court for the first time refused to plead guilty and is brave because it's carrying out a shooting rampage at a youth camp on the internet and a car bombing in oslo in july and says he acted as a resistance leader previous hearings have been held behind closed doors. the hundreds of radio stations in russia is one that seemingly out of this world instead of music or news these broadcasts were mysterious voices and noises which have left radio it just baffled t's'pol pissing off has been tuning in. the sound has been gripping the imagination of radio spotters worldwide for over three decades. the u.v.b. seventy six also known as the was our.

first aroused my interest because it is so strange personally i think it's a legacy device that's been left over from the late seventy's or eighty's. the military operations of the time it's original has been forgotten i. see is been going like this since the start and whenever that was. sometimes the was or stops in a male robotic like voice lists names and numbers in russian. families is the soviet union's and now russia's contact with spies or even civilizations from other worlds. us life has been a radio vanda since his childhood he's also had his share of the wiser but his explanation of his purpose is much more down to earth in the affairs of the us than with this sort of connection is extremely reliable it will shut down in case of

a large nuclear explosion but only for a few hours it's not dependent on anything that's why it's still widely used today by the army the idea is pretty simple a military radio station sends out the buzzer which is received by other army bases by stopping the buzzer operator signals that a command called of the letters and numbers is about to be broadcast and when the transmission is complete the buzzer turns on again you just lost said moscow's radio spot in community nor were the signal used to come from a base outside of the capital but this is what we saw there and this man is the only living soul we could find. on the spot he used to work at the beast and still lives in the village nearby. but this used to be one of the best units in the country but two years ago we received an order to shut it down we were told it consumed too much energy there is also another similar unit it still operates

could it be that the legendary buzzer used to be out of this building and with the signal coming from now it looks like we won't be able to find any signs of that mysterious transmitter here because the equipment was literally ripped out of the walls and floors of the building when the base was shut down but some things are actually still here like the journal with the last entry dating back to me two thousand and nine. but the sound is still there were ever it's coming from. the radio almost as if it always has and always will a simple technology that's conquered the minds of thousands. of. moscow. strange stuff that now up to one of our top stories that police of

reporters begun clearing out and protest attempts in new york they're also claims that pepper spray is being used when it's talk to artie's or in a port who's in new york for us now marina how the town has been removed what's going on that's right this removal this evacuation of the occupy wall street headquarters in new york city began approximately one am tuesday morning in new york city hundreds of police officers including those dressed in riot gear descended on tuesday cutting park in lower manhattan and presented the protesters with a letter telling them that they had to temporarily vacate the park while the police would remove all their tents now the police claimed that this was due to health concerns and the park needed to be inspected also on the scene was new york city police commissioner ray kelly this is the first time from what i know from what's

been reported that the police commissioner of new york city has actually been to one of these events and circumstances where the police confront the occupy wall street activists now as you mentioned leading into this story there have been reports that pepper spray has been used on some of the activists that refused to leave zuccotti park police began moving in closer to the park some activists left and others sat down. many arrested there's also been reports that. machine was used against the activists that remained in zuccotti park in addition it's been very hard for the process and for members of the media to get to zuccotti park because as this week began new york city police department they had put barricades up all around zuccotti park to prevent the media or and anybody else from possibly coming in is not at least what is being reported

and that's the way that it's being perceived if there is also as i mentioned reports of arrest reports of conflict between some police officers an octave is there were we had we do have images of the tents that have been in zuccotti park with these activists have been sleeping those ten tents being torn down by police officers and being literally carried out of the park with the activists saying these are our homes are not even explaining to us why why you're doing this now of course this is coming just two days ahead of a massive protest that's being planned to take place here in new york city on the seventeenth that was more than two months anniversary of the occupy wall street protesters now on the protests and organizers putting out already press releases indicating that plans are in place for activists to to shut down or attempt to

shut down the new york stock exchange so as you can imagine new york city officials probably want to avoid any kind of event such as that one and maybe that's why this week was made early in the morning ok marina will have to leave it keep us informed throughout the day a lot of pictures there from zuccotti park of the. the protests. ok well up next all the business news with you. hello and welcome to the business update top officials from the world's leading gas exporting countries are meeting in doha between them they hold more than two thirds of the world's gas reserves and they're summits aimed at balancing the interests of both producers and consumers and other discussion of similar topics is underway here in moscow at the end old gas of russia for business arches marina courser is following both events good morning marina what's firing up delegates of both talks . well one of the main points today is of course pricing it's no secret that

european countries are on happy right now with russia's gas from because it legs import rights to oil prices costing them billion euro losses because an increase in price they can adjust to consumers and the world's largest gas producer seems to be down for a compromise that considering giving an additional level of support in the less than five percent of course the ministers are expected to call for ever so ration to oil price link all right now but the energy minister. who's there right now outlined some of his main concerns when it comes to gas. firstly it's the supremacy of a long term gas contracts with them. and will stick to it in future secondly it's the principle of linking natural gas prices to oil. we believe that natural gas. crude just because natural. requirements on this should be priced in the market.

for them with the shipping and there's a demand the skyrockets are right now so it's crucial for russia to play an important role to meet the demand of major consumers and of course the gas so our it out all its differences. are enough thank you very much looking forward to hearing more from you and that wraps up the business voyage and join me in less than fifteen minutes time for another business something.
