t is bring you live coverage join us in twenty minutes. three pm in moscow i match reza good to have you with us here on r t our top story new york has descended into chaos as police move into force the occupy protesters out of capstans a county park eyewitnesses claim pepper spray and tear gas were used on demonstrators seventy of whom were arrested the raid followed a pledge by activists to heighten action this coming thursday to mark two months since the movement began artie's marina porton i was watching the events unfold in the big apple she joins us live with more so a lot of arrests have been made what are the latest developments. well the latest developments in that is that right now five hours after new york city. made

precedented surprise sweep of the occupy wall street headquarters activists are being allowed back into zuccotti park what has happened in the past five hours is probably from a scene arguably from a bad movie because this again hundreds of protesters met hundreds of police officers rather and many in riot gear descended on zuccotti park handing out notices to the activists from the park's owner brookfield properties saying the park how to be cleared out because it has become unsanitary and hazardous this is according to the property owners now these activists that are building inside and camping out of in zuccotti park the past two months had no idea this was coming one activist said it felt like the cops were raiding a place without any provocation one protester did say on the record that cops were using knives to tear open the tents that people were sleeping and were yelling at them to get out into remove their property from the park now many of the peaceful

protesters didn't leave and in reach of go but many others did not many tied themselves to trees there were reports also many activists forming a human shield to prevent the cops from breaking down the kitchen that was basically built in sukhumi park and that is one of two witnesses on the scene cops reportedly used here gas on the protesters to break up their human shield and get that resisting activists out of the park and there was also video that you can see where things got very violent the activists got tackled dragged by their arms and legs sound tannins reported for work or to be used by the n.y.p.d. to get activists out of the park. as you mentioned at least seventy two people have been arrested in the past five hours but what was probably hardest for these activists to see is watching their camp completely destroyed and thrown out by the

sanitation department and tents all the personal items belonging to these activists have been destroyed and carried out the activists say that five thousand books that were donated to their library were thrown out by the and white t.v. let's remember in zuccotti park be occupy active is built on library of first aid center a cafeterias invention a kitchen a media center so anything that can be removed was removed by police when this all rocked it out one am in the morning police set up barricades making it very hard for any members of the media and the press that want to get down there to work or done a story to witness what was transpiring actually access the site but as i mentioned these these activist the occupy wall street actually is are being allowed back into the park now according to city officials they can continue to be in the park but

they are not allowed to bring tents their sleeping bags there for talks there and clearly those conditions are going to meet a very difficult for the activists to comfortably occupy the tower when the winter weather really settles in in the next few weeks and there have been similar raids in other u.s. cities as the clamp down on protesters changing into a higher gear a major it certainly has there's no denying back we saw that there was an evacuation of the occupy camp in oakland california we saw many arrests i think if you're so in portland this is clearly an act by by uniformed personnel that is not just limited to new york city it is a nationwide probably one would argue claim it down but this is the ground zero this is the headquarters. the occupy wall street movement and that's why it's gaining so much i ten shit that there was this kind of unprecedented secret in the

documentary shade of the headquarters of the occupy wall street movement but we can't disregard that the chief month anniversary of the occupy movement is coming up thursday there have been many reports that the organization of its movement is planning on holding many of that strike new york city on thursday and is sorry to interrupt you for a second million of these are live pictures just a lot of there is no doubt we're looking out from zuccotti park where you can see the cleanup efforts the men in the orange vests. yeah that's the sanitation workers absolutely and you can imagine how difficult it is to shoot shoot for those that are living in the park to see their belongings being thrown out by officials in their bare they call their homes they built a little community there on what they call their principles and they were committed to it and this raid came and unexpectedly and when the city attempted this a month or so ago in the rene p. cuz the unions went down there to defend these protesters but that's because we

knew ahead of time sitting in the time that it was going to happen and now it's going to happen and the protesters were defended by many of the unions came out of it loot and so as i was speaking before we settles live pictures and when i was saying was that the occupy movement in new york is planning announce that they are going to attempt to shut down the new york stock exchange on thursday when the movement marks its change of venue her seriously clearly you could imagine new york city officials want to preempt any efforts to create a conflict to retain our sort of destruction in the city mayor michael bloomberg has already said over and over he would not allow any force laws to be broken that is the mayor of new york city a billionaire mayor who has been criticized for be very far removed from this occupied movement from the ninety nine percent because he falls in the one percent but i can say is if i can be sure no evacuations. these activists and you if you

want to put your money on and put your money on the fact that they will be out in the streets there as they did anything this may have inspired more people to take the street thursday as the movement marks its two month anniversary or at artie's more important ira leifer new york thanks for that report sure. russia and syria see eye to eye when it comes to military intervention syrian opposition leaders say they want to peaceful solution to the eight month long crisis in the country a delegation is in the russian capital for talks with moscow diplomats as pressure continues to pile on bashar al assad's regime including suspending syria from the arab league or heater all over has the latest. it's long been russia's position that they were against any foreign military involvement in the syrian situation and the syrian opposition leaders have today said that they also want to see any military involvement from outside countries in syria they said they don't want to see syria go down the same route as libya where nato. intervention was

a key feature in the toppling of colonel gadhafi they don't want to see foreign intervention. they also said the opposition all willing to enter into negotiations with members of president bashar al assad's government now they did say that they would enter into negotiations but only with those members of the government whose hands were not bloody. and they did also tough race for their. their hosts here in moscow thanking what they called their russian brothers for helping them to come to moscow and come to the table they said they wanted russia's health and trying to find a peaceful solution to the ongoing crisis in syria the arab league is meeting on wednesday where it's expected. that decision to suspend syria from the group they've also put forward a plan to send a five hundred strong delegation into syria on

a fact finding mission that delegation would contain military personnel 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 and qatar two countries which voted to suspend syria from the group their embassies being targeted as well as protests across damascus another play. in syria people believe that the decision is a roman one and not one which will bring about peace in the country any time soon. libya has big plans for its postwar future with hopes of it being reborn as the next dubai on paper it's got all the qualifications beach sun and rich oil reserves and western companies are lining up for their state but it's the ones in the u.k.

but analysts say seem likely to come out on top for more on this bridge when live from london by our g.'s laura smith good to have you with us so why does it appear that the british companies are being favored here. well what we're seeing is the sensually of course we remember that this was the effort to topple gadhafi was an effort that was certainly initially led by the u.k. and also france and the u.k. sent in its air force and it also used its navy to make a naval blockade around libya and now the national transitional council in libya is saying that its friends will be rewarded and these are not just words we've seen a couple of trips in the last two weeks or so earlier this month the u.k. department of trade and industry led of working party to libya to have a look around see what needed doing what needed rebuilding and now the national transitional council has come to london to hold a meeting with top city business executives to drum up interest in what they're

calling massive opportunities in build libya so what we're seeing really is this direct correlation between participation in the effort to oust its afy and contracts that are awarded afterwards we have seen earlier german companies express an interest in taking part in the effort to rebuild libya and the libyans saying no no you didn't participate in the involvement in the in the no fly zone you had no part in that so you will have no part in the business opportunities either and of course this is the same thing that we saw post iraq conflicts again french companies said to the iraqis after the conflict was over that they wanted the opportunity to participate in contracts and the iraqis said no you didn't participate in the war so you won't get to participate in the business afterwards the majority of those contracts were awarded to u.k. and u.s. companies and we have already seen that the u.k. department for trade and industry has staff on the ground in libya ready to welcome

british companies that are awarded those contracts now does it appear that the cynics will say that this was the primary goal of the humanitarian mission in which there was no favorite countries a least a few months ago. well yeah i mean people have been saying that all along really since the very beginning we know that libya has the biggest oil reserves in africa but this seems to give more fuel to that argument seems to make it more obvious that the constant professions of this humanitarian goal seem to have been made a mockery of by this and as someone said to me last we bomb you know we destroy and now we get the contracts to rebuild the place and that there is this seemingly direct correlation as i say and we also heard at the time of reports of evidence of thoughts during the full nato even got involved in this we've heard reports that the national transitional council told the french that if they sent in their war planes then the libyans eventually awards to tell the french oil company thirty five percent of all the oil contracts are up for grabs and for the u.k.

of course which which is looking like it could be one of the main players in this this is turned out to be excellent business estimates vary as to how much the the war cost the u.k. but it was sort of settled around half a billion dollars now and now we're looking at thirty billion dollars in contracts up for grabs over the next ten years so it certainly looks like an excellent investment all right archie is laura smith live for us in london votes for that report. new technocrat led governments in greece and italy are getting down to business to tackle the country's massive debts italy's prime minister designate is in talks with the country's main political parties unions and business groups to rally support for a new cabinet some lawmakers hope mario monti will once go once reforms are pushed through although the former commissioner plans to stay at home but twenty thirteen election clock is ticking for greece with a new prime minister heading up

a fifteen week coalition lucas papademos facing a confidence vote wednesday saying securing the next bailout is his priority and that the country must stick with the euro our business editor nick who explores how the single currency has flaws have led some countries to ruins rather than riches it was supposed to bring peace and prosperity for all but for a while it did but now the euro is costing people jobs pensions and even the democratic rights from the beginning the flaws were there for everyone to see the skeptics the economies of the logs and italy and greece which is too different from germany in finland to be regulated by one system but ultimately idealism carried the day a new currency was called it was strong and stable and was regulated in ways that german central bank might approve of there related seeds of the problem greece italy portugal and spain had their hands on a strong currency and against it and unlike before the interest rates they would

have to pay would be much less so they could pour in 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 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. it's similar for a country but in. stead public sector pay its cars and thousands of people are forced out of the jobs. greece and italy always have the possibility of devaluing the currency when times were that this had the effect of lowering total debt and of conferring a competitive advantage as products of this is later 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 a foreign power under a hard currency like the euro this option is no longer available to be indebted nations so instead they must come out and because they remain on competitive they cannot grow the worst of both worlds. the politicians failed to put a lid on greece and italy's soaring borrowing a question now is whether of a new economic task force can do any better or his financial expert max kaiser is far from convinced saying bankers behind the scenes are continuing to game the system. it's the night of the living dead 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 elections but they're putting bankers in charge to bring about total banker domination as the world goes down a slippery slope and said banker hell in place of the elected officials put in place

an elected 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 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 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 never mind the fact that the pay for the debt ultimately their film pose more austerity measures more austerity measures more debt more fees for bankers more financial terrorism. skies or there's your host in ten minutes on r.t. when he and co-host stacy herbert take the other side swipe at some of the efforts

seventy six also known as the buzzer. it 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 for the military operations of the time it's original as is it got. i see is going going like this since the start whenever that was my sometimes the buzzer stops and the mail robotically voice lists names and numbers in russian. league is the soviet union's and now russia's contact with spies or even civilizations from other worlds . u.s. law has been a radio fan since his childhood he's also had his share of the water but his

explanation of its purpose is much more down to earth when the first of this sort of connection is history may reliable or it will shut down in case of a large nuclear explosion but only for a few hours it's not dependable anything that's why it's still widely used today by the army the idea is pretty simple i knew to be a radio station sends out the buzzer which is received by other army bases by stopping the gaza operators signals that a command code of letters and numbers is about to be broadcast and when the transmission is complete the buzzer turns on again just last 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 them and this man is the only living soul we could find. on the spot he used to work at the beach and still lives in a village nearby. a little bit of this used to be one of the best units in the country but two years ago we received an order to shut it we were told it consumed too much

energy there is also another similar unit it still. could be that the legendary bowser used to be out of this building and is the signal coming from now . who won't be able to find any signs of. mysterious transliterate here because the equipment was literally ripped out of the walls and floors of the building when the base was shut down was some things are actually still here. with the worst dating back to me two thousand and nine. but the sound is still over it's coming from. the radio either as if you always has. a simple technology that's conquered the minds of thousands. of. moscow the

coming your way soon max kaiser reflects on a future of banks the e.u. and its beleaguered currency but first the business news with. hello and welcome to the program 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 there are some it's aimed at balancing the interests of both producers and consumers and another similar discussion is under way here in moscow where the n.l. gas of russia form is archie's marine across there is falling for events in the so what's firing out delegates of both talks. well some of the main issues so far have been pricing innovation and competition and it's no secret that many european countries are dissatisfied right now with russia's gas because it links its import

rights to oil prices and many believe that given the current market conditions russia should rethink its pricing of formula at the same time today ministers. are considering returning chrysler oil to save long term gas contracts and other issue is europe's third energy package which requires the separation of energy transport station put in and sales gas from which of course goes against the wall to have competition on the european market but says that changes need to be made so that in order to accommodate all parties involved and russia's energy minister who is in qatar right now outlined his main concerns for us. some of the spoke with a firstly it's the supremacy of a long term gas contracts with which we. will stick to it in future secondly it's the principle of linking natural gas prices to oil. we believe that natural gas

should not cost less than a crude just because not. on the crisis in. kenya which will happen with the biggest. energy demand is skyrocketing around the world and russia's role is crucial to meeting that extra demand also germany wants it abandons nuclear energy it will need to build new power stations worth around fifteen a billion dollars and russia's energy minister already said that russia is prepared to see. large scale projects and today we also heard from the vice president of gas from who says that energy demand is expected to increase dramatically and in the next twenty years they will need an extra two hundred billion cubic meters of gas and that additional lines may have to be built for the nordstrom gas pipeline. it is so for their guests as i just and they showed you it's not sufficient to persecute you wouldn't you feel a little bit all the knowledge that you saw was that you will continue to choose

through the lens the will and the leaders of their move is to look to the fish. when it comes to the immediate future gas from has already forecast an increase in european cells next year over around eight per cent and of course we'll be more volumes that with a newly launched north stream gas pipeline so it's really essential for gas from to iron out its differences with its european counterparts. thank you very much indeed archies morgan acosta reporting from big gas forum here in moscow. have a quick check on the markets crude is trading near a true day low on speculation that europe will struggle to contain its debt crisis providing some support for prices on expectations that a report by the u.s. energy department jew on wednesday may show to climbing fuel stockpiles in the us what's with us trading at under ninety eight dollars a barrel while branches that around one hundred twelve dollars per barrel. and
