world's leading gas exporting countries are meeting and some of the discussion is underway in moscow at the any old gas of russia for business r.t. we'll bring you the latest in about twenty minutes. international news and comment twenty four hours a day you're watching r.t. police have moved in to clear out occupy protest camps in new york using pepper spray on demonstrators the raid comes after activists crowd heightened action this coming thursday to mark two months since the movement began but artie's. has the latest from new york. hundreds of police officers trust in riot gear descended on zuccotti park and presenting the activists that have been camped out there with the letter ordering them to temporarily evacuate the tarp and activists were told that

all the tents were going to be removed by the police officers police cleaned it was a health issue and the park needed to be inspected new york city police commissioner ray kelly was on scene for this episode as it unfolded was the first time a new york city police commissioner has been president as police officers and occupy wall street activists have been confronted face to face this is been going on for two months but clearly this is the pinnacle of all the attention matt has been taking place in new york city for the past eight weeks and protesters were told that they were would be allowed to return to the park but not with their property then where the police proceeded i with the evacuation we saw tents being violently ripped down ripped apart removed from the park the peaceful activists that were

there some were being dragged out of the park there have been reports of pepper spray being used on the activists many of whom sat down or refused to leave i was also been reports of the police department using an el rad machine to you know crazy and often inconvenience the noise sound to get the activists out of the park before this week took place the police a clearly had a plan because they were barricades put all around zuccotti park within full four block within a four block radius and when i media members of the press were trying to get down to some crowded part to access events to see what was going on to report about what was going on and many members of the press were not being allowed it is clearly looks not just. like a new york city sweep but in nationwide speak of the occupy camps that have settled in major cities throughout the united states many do believe the new york city

police department are trying to get ahead of the game because of the occupy wall street movement is planning major protests for thursday that is seventeen that marks the two month anniversary of the occupy movement and major offense will be taking place all day including what organizers say will be and it's have to to shut down the new york stock exchange so as you can imagine we are city officials are probably trying to preempt that trying to avoid it and if that means they're going to sweep the camp and try to make this inconvenient for activists to remain there throughout the winter without tents and without their property that's clearly what city officials are trying to do. syrian opposition leaders say they want a peaceful solution to eight month long crisis in their country delegation is in moscow for talks with russian diplomats the pressure that's piling on the regime in syria and iran suspending its membership it's all over is following the story for

us here and. peter it seems russia and syria see eye to eye when it comes to the subject of military intervention. well that's right russia has long being opposed to any type of outside military intervention in syria and today the syrian opposition leaders that are in moscow for talks have said just that they don't want to see outside intervention outside military intervention into the situation in syria they don't want to see their country go down the same path as what happened in libya now also coming out of the talks that have been held here in moscow is that the syrian opposition say that they are willing to enter into negotiations with members of al assad's government the president of syria however they are saying that they will only enter into members of that government. this heart that's hands on covered with blood for murder so it's unclear as of yet which elements of

assad's government that they will be wanting to speak to but they are leaving that channel open saying that they are willing to enter into dialogue something that's going to be good news to the russian diplomats and said the russian foreign minister who taking part in these discussions is that the syrian opposition want russia's help in trying to do that now entering into these talks the russian side said they wanted to see a peaceful resolution from this russia has offered their services as a new city they've been to both sides in the past and they want to see a peaceful solution to the problem in syria that's why these talks are ongoing peter syria has described the arab league's decision as illegitimate how has the league responded to that. lekas drawn up a plan that could see five hundred five hundred strong delegation into syria on a fact finding mission now that delegation would contain some military personnel

and it has been welcomed by the syrian government they said they would like to see this delegation come in and see that they are trying to to to adhere to some of the . causes that were put in place by the arab league on the second of november some of the reforms that they wanted to see happen in the country now. syria syrians across damascus and in other cities have been out protesting in the thousands against the decision by the arab league to suspend them they're clearly unhappy with this decision and we did hear from the russian side as well that they said that the decision to suspend them was counterproductive to the peace process and that's certainly been echoed on the streets of damascus as people want to see a peaceful solution to this and not see syria removed from the arab league. thank you. well the freezing of

a serious arab league membership as well as sanctions prompted fears of a military intervention something russia has been warning against later a former foreign minister and veteran diplomat explains why primakov says the lessons of libya and the rug must be learnt. which i don't think the worst prepare to do with it the security council's barking i think we're smarter now and at the time when the first security council resolution was adopted we will not adopt another resolution using the big terms which could be used we would utilize music to. nobody knows what libya is going to recover from feels like iraq for example it's been more than eight years and they still can stabilize the situation on t.v. nearest stops reporting you casualties fifteen. every day in iraq bombs explosions and soon it could happen so regularly that people get used to it and we started thinking this is not just hear us over have years of occupation there's been nothing we could do in libya it's going to be even tougher so i don't think we've

had much success and it would be an. l a full interview with former russian prime minister. hours time and r.t. . 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 anti crisis measures there is warning people of sacrifices ahead and one thing is trying to rally process for support some want him to go once reforms a question through the former commissioner plans to stay until the twenty thirteen election clock is ticking for greece you probably are stepping up a fifteen week coalition because this is a confidence vote on wednesday and says securing the next bailout is the priority that is country must stick with. business editor nick poole explores now how the single currency is north have led some countries to ruins rather than rich its. 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 said the economies of the drugs and italy and greece were just too different from germany and finland to be regulated by one system but optimism and idealism carried the day a new currency was born it was strong and stable and was regulated in ways of german central banker might approve of but there in lay the 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 bit to g.d.p. ratio around one hundred twenty percent greece is more than one hundred sixty percent that's a bit like somebody with an income of twenty thousand dollars

a year and when thirty two thousand on their credit card they will be bankrupt the banks one and the many more money the flat screen t.v. will be repossessed and will be a diet of cabbage and potatoes in the worst case. it's 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 have the possibility of devaluing the currency when times were bad this had the effect of lowering total debt and of conferring a competitive advantage as products services labor became cheaper and this stimulated economic growth it also made people who are as the money in their pockets was worth less but crucially it did not result in mass redundancies especially not imposed by a foreign power under a hard currency like the euro this option is no longer available to the indebted nations so instead they must start because they remain uncompetitive they cannot

grow the worst of both worlds. big pool where politicians fail to put a lid on grease and into these soaring brewing the question now is whether the economic hit squads can do any better nazis' financial experts max keiser is far from convinced saying the bank is behind the scenes of continuing to play the system but the night of the living death and all of the zombie bankers we can't get rid of them you can't kill them they live to bank another day they are all played around the world and certainly in europe there are no law 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 of zero cost they don't want to spend any money to borrow

money to put the outrages of beds on the table and every time they lose a bed they impose more austerity measures every time they went to bed 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 staff 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 and how much debt they create never mind the fact that the pay for the debt ultimately their feel impose more austerity measures more austerity measures more debt more fees for bankers more financial terrorism. next crisis coming up later in the program the torture and abuse on america's watch years of. prison it's still going strong despite widespread condemnation and president obama's pledges to close it also. thought. why this strange noise is

creating a buzz among radio enthusiasm around the world we investigate what it could mean and where it may be coming from in a few minutes. sacked former mare coffee is being questioned by the russian interior ministry. some half a billion dollars from the bank of moscow two years ago the case also involves a billionaire wife bailing investigation and it's now brought well let's get some more details from marty's greaves in moscow on this story this is proving to be a high profile case isn't it. because it all comes down to those high profile counts as we have evolved here a lot for yuri luzhkov two decades really at the forefront of russian of moscow politics now after his fall from grace to force once the questions would be witness give evidence in the build just behind me at this moment. that question should last

a number more also as boy. is the question to be sought after by investigators but so far she's eluded to after three court summons and hasn't turned up in moscow and it's been a war that interpol says interpol could get involved if this trend continues its course god by force is russia's richest woman amassing her fortune. in real estate through the days of course the structure in moscow this case itself actually goes back to two thousand and nine and then city shares in the bank of moscow for just under half of the. dollars investigators say last chunk of that she siphoned off and went to the as a load to premiere states who they see as a bogus company and a total of four hundred twenty seven million dollars ended up in the private accounts according to investigators and now she has the noise any wrongdoing the

case so far but she hasn't turned up for the all important question in the mainstay of attention to days really focus around for their yuri luzhkov as it is his first high profile appearance since being sacked from office rather the roughly last year in september after eighteen years of the reins of power and really is this last year that caused his downfall. geishas corruption became quite rampant and or so president crucially lost support and lost trust in his ability to govern. ok artistic increase in moscow thanks for that update. russia is warning against imposing new sanctions on iran saying the policy has outlived its usefulness the foreign minister's comments followed the diplomatic fallout from the nuclear watchdog report suggesting tehran could be developing an atomic weapon and r.t. has been hearing how further sanctions 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'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 there's really there's two paths here either you do the military thing which has been presented as ok you know 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 out right and you know in a lot of respects be driven into that. other alternative to 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 iran 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. on the cover operation to weaken iran might already be on the way as r.t. reports unlike previous again claims that israel's intelligence agency could be behind the explosion at a military base in iran killed seventeen people who are key figures. it's also. a cosmic journey a russian rocket is sending a crew of three on its way to the international space station for success to the ultra monday is another story don't you think it's.

the world's most notorious military prison is still open for business despite repeated pledges by president obama to get it closed down ten years since george w. bush opened at one time a day facility which has been dogged by only creations of torture and abuse. reporter jason new poll believes his country's betraying the principles it promotes . were hypocrites. this administration has actually thought every case that has appeared in a d.c. court. so you know we're we're we're very good at preaching but not practicing what we're preaching so it's integrity it's credibility credibility 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 kuantan and i would remain open that military commissions would continue i think that for the most part it's fear mongering and it's politically charged. among the hundreds of radio stations in russia there's one that seemingly out of this world is sort of music or news these broadcasts are still useful this is nonsense and should left radio enthusiastic baffled thinking with this kind of has been singing it. 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 wasn't.

it first aroused my interest because it is so strange personally i think it's a legacy device that's in the late seventy's or eighty's from the military operations of the time it's original this is. the sea has been going like this since the start and whenever that was were sometimes the buzzer stops and a male robotic like voice lists names and numbers in russian. is slowly unions and now russia's contacts with spies or even civilizations from other worlds. us law has been a radio fan since his childhood he's also had his share of the budget but here's a school a shell of its purpose is much more down to earth. or this sort of connection to realize well it will shut down in cases where a large nuclear explosion but only for

a few hours it's not dependable and that's why it's still widely used today by the army the idea is pretty simple a new t.v. radio station sends out the buzzer which is received by other army leases by stopping the buzzer the operator signals that a command called of the letters and numbers is about to be broadcast and when the transmission is complete the buzzer sounds on again you know as i said moscow's radios are in community nor were the signal used to come from a piece outside of the capital but this is what we saw it and this man is the only living soul we could find. on the spot he used to work at the bees and stood in the village to buy. a little bit of it is used to be one of the best students in the country but two years ago we received an order to shut it down we were told it consumed too much energy ok there is also another similar unit it still opery this

could be that the legendary buzzer used to be out of the building and with is 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 bell but things are actually still here journal with the last three dating back to me thousand and nine. now let's count. down. the history of history there now back to our top story police are taking down protests to tents in new york's zuccotti park and using pepper spray and sound

machines to have it demonstrators this is what's happening right now in the park with these live pictures police in riot gear a victim of protesters some of whom were first refusing to leave sitting on the ground in time themselves to trees. have now apparently left is in court and moving into another new york park we understand that office is now things the court is almost cleared so police claim that the protesters need to go because of unsanitary conditions there the rain comes after activists escalates their anti quick action this coming thursday to mark two months since the movement began. well the latest as we get it here at r.t. . and in fact we have some more for you on this r.t. has obtained video of new york police using tear gas to protesters from zuccotti park seen we think it's been filmed within the past

a pricing it's no secret european countries are not happy with russia's gas form right now because import oil prices making them plays billion euro losses and many believe that with the current market conditions right now russia should rethink its pricing the formula there was a big gas producer maybe going for a compromise right now considering given an additional level of. less than five percent at the same time right now ministers meeting are expected to call for every situation of a price to save long term gas contracts russia's energy minister who's there right now gave us his outline the main concerns for russia when it comes to gas. firstly it's the supremacy of a long term gas contracts with we've relied on this strategy and will stick to it in future secondly it's the principle of linking natural gas prices to oil prices

we believe that natural gas should not cost less than crude because natural gas ecological requirement a mission be priced in by the market the international energy agency actually expects natural gas consumption suit double lights thirty five and also now with germany abandon a nuclear energy it will need a lot more power work around fifteen billion euros russia's energy minister has already said that russia is ready to finance a large scale project castro has already forecast that next year european gas sales will increase by about eight percent and of course will be more volume's with a newly launched nordstrom gas pipeline so it's really essential for gas from our and out its differences with its european partners. back and time to check on the markets courage is trading near a low speculation that europe will struggle to contain its debt crisis providing
