from new york. here the mayor michael bloomberg says the first amendment protects free speech but not use sleeping bags and tents to occupy a park and this is why billionaire mayor. they are says that when activists. park they cannot brain any up there can start for sleeping that however a lawyers who work the occupy outfit will say a word order has been issued to allow protesters to green. tents back to suit our already to work or to new york city judge said that mayor bloomberg bus show cause for each victim the occupy wall street protesters from supai park early tuesday morning when hundreds of police officers dozens of them clad in bright pierre moved into zuccotti park it was somewhat of a secret suite the activists were not foot notified and they knew of this when the

cops came in with flood lights and sirens and demanded that all of those occupiers that have been living there about two hundred or so and leave immediately and remove their property from the park i'd witnessed says he saw the tops using pocket knives to ecofin the tennis visitor people who are leaving and he yelling for them to get how many of the protesters did leave peacefully many of them were shocked they didn't realize what was happening hundreds of cops were surrounding them but other activists did resist some tied themselves to trees and there was a video that's been seen and shown in film of some of their resisting object is being manhandled by the police least seventy people as far have been arrested and some eyewitnesses say that sound cannons were used by the n.y.p.d. to try to evacuate anybody any of the occupy activities that were resisting to

leave the park this is maybe rally even more support for the for the for the movement but at the same time it has been a huge blow. when i came by activist who was in new york at the time of the raid says that authorities heavy handed response was an infringement on civil liberties . what i saw was essentially wall to wall and cops riot gear. i've never seen so many police cars in my entire life i think that americans have no choice but to essentially raise these grievances with government because our government has been controlled by factions you know every institution of society from the press and the civics where to our elections are controlled by john and factions that are essentially you know creating a myriad ills in abuses of a government that preys on the resources and the spirits of citizens this is the state of our democratic republic it is indicates that this continued challenge me

on the part of the cops especially coming out to am you know not allowed even arresting you know members of the press not allowing any of the press to chip film what was going on i think that it's essential we are going to create war to send in this country because this is not an ideological protest this is a protest it is based on people actually experiencing the consequences of a government that preys on the resources and the spirits of citizens you can arrest an idea you know occupy to me individually is the civic square in america and i doubt americans are going to continue to allow our civic square to be taken from us . keeping a close eye on the nationwide stand out between america's occupy protesters and the press or jesus you count on all of us all in developments on the scene of his or her twitter feed with latest information first and get our most recent footage of the protests by logging on to our viewers you can picture.

it was hosting members of syria's opposition in the latest attempt urged them toward talks with their country's government comes a day after the kremlin criticized western countries for backing syrian regime forces in their attempts to overthrow president bashar al assad. reports. well what we've heard from the syrian opposition delegation today is very interesting indeed they said that they would like to see a u.n. resolution put in place now this u.n. resolution would not be a resolution allowing any foreign military intervention that is something that they

are vehemently against they share that stance with russia this would be a u.n. resolution allowing observers on the ground in the country and allowing of service to you to see what's going on the embattled cities that are still under siege in syria now they also said that they would continue to keep on calling for the resignation the stepping down of president bashar al assad and they called on the international community to help with us. we have said that we want to give a political solution to the crisis a chance and this is also the demand of the syrian people therefore we're calling on those countries that want a peaceful outcome to put pressure on the president to step down we do want to prevent any military involvement of the syrian crisis and to prevent a repetition of the libyan scenario we are in favor of a peaceful solution through negotiations. on saturday the arab league announced

that they were going to suspend syria from their organization now that suspensions expected to be rubber stamp to the meeting on wednesday in morocco this really leaves aside on syria alone in the arab world we heard from the king of jordan king abdullah saying that if he was in assad's position that he would be considering stepping down himself. the news this syria had be would be suspended from the arab league was greeted with dismay here in russia the story minister sergei lavrov saying that it was counterproductive to an ongoing discussions of peace and to getting people to the table to talk this out and saying that by suspending so. area from the arab league that they give the opposition in protests to try and implement regime change instead of trying to talk this out in finding a peaceful solution now the news that syria would be suspended from the arab league

caused thousands of people to take to the streets of damascus and other cities across the country protesting against this we saw some protests outside of the embassies of saudi arabia and qatar two nations which voted to suspend syria. the people of syria in damascus saying clearly thinking that the suspension old syria from the arab league not the way to bring about peace in the country. news and pole position to take the lion's share of the spoils of libya's vast postwar oil reserves london city executives have been offered lucrative oil and gas contracts as the national transitional council is touting business opportunities to foreign investors archy's laura smith has more from london. the effort to talk will 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 it's 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 in ledge of working party to libya to have a look around see what's 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 of what they're calling massive opportunities in. libya so what we're seeing really is this direct correlation between participation in the effort to oust gadhafi and contracts that are awarded afterwards and 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 week we form you know we destroy

and now we get a contract 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 faltering before nato even got involved in this we've heard reports that the national transitional council told the french that if they sent in their all planes then the libyans eventually awards to tell the french or companies thirty five percent of all the oil contracts 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 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. stay with us here on r.t.e. still ahead the radio station with something of an enigmatic message.

sound like much but this bizarre noise has sparked interest among radio enthusiasm around the world we take a look at what it could mean and where it's coming from for the few minutes. but first in italy the newly appointed prime minister mario monti is working hard creating a controversial new technocrat government and expected to be made up of unelected experts rather than politicians to rescue the country from its towering debt crisis once the team is put together the premier designate will face a confidence vote in parliament that could be as soon as this week to lead need to work to reduce italy's deficit and boost its economic growth under immense pressure from the e.u. meanwhile in greece new prime minister lucas papademos says he's determined to keep the country in the eurozone the new coalition government has to approve all one hundred thirty billion euro bailout despite harsh austerity measures already in place r.t. business editor nick poole takes a look at where it went wrong for the e.u.

bringing once proud nations to their needs. it was supposed to bring peace and prosperity for all but for a while it did but now the euro is costing people their jobs their pensions and even their democratic rights from the beginning the flaws were there for everyone to see skeptics said economies of the likes of peacefully increase which is too different from germany in finland to be regulated by one system but of commitment idealism carried the day and a new currency was born it was strong and stable and was regulated in ways that german central banker might approve of but very elated see 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 are 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 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 instead public sector pay is cut and thousands of people are forced out of their jobs before 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 services 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 cut because they remain uncompetitive they cannot grow the worst of both worlds. ok now to some

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 this is in. the sea has been going like this since the start whenever that was. sometimes that was or stops in a mail robotically voice lists names and numbers in russian. family is the soviet union's and now russia's contact with spines or even civilizations from other worlds. us law has been a really of fantasy 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 earth and 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 and new to me radio station sends out a buzzer which is received by other army bases by stopping the words or 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 doan's on again just last said moscow's radio spying community nor would a signal used to come from the south side of the capitol but this is what we saw there and this man is the only living soul we can find. on the spot he used to work at least and still lives in a 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

thanks matt the euro zone is on the brink of recession latest figures show the bloc are just point two percent in the first quarter with economists offering only a slim prospect of growth for the next two quarters meanwhile spanish and italian bond yields are rising and that despite a new prime minister in rome and the approval of austerity measures well to offset that there has been some better than expected consumer data in the u.s. to discuss what this all means let's talk to my knowledge from t.x. capital hello to you my knowledge always a pleasure to have you let's start with the politics new prime minister's nuclear as there's done nothing to reassure the markets. to do something on friday we saw we saw a positive move up in the markets on friday but. come back to reality here nothing has really changed with the gods degrees and with girls it's the although they may have you prime minister is in place they still have to deal with the same issues

that he's implementing austerity cuts. continuing with those austerity cuts and reducing the contagion of fear in the market with regards to. these issues are still there we're seeing italian bond yields trading up above seven percent earlier on to their day trading there or thereabouts and if they try a couple of that level for a sustained period of time it's a valid point usually could turn around the e.u. and say we are we need bailing out and it's also how doing the knock on effect to other countries as well spanish bond yields trading your all time highs as well so nothing is really changes likely that we're going to continue to see this volatility go forward. what is the market waiting for right now i mean is there a definite trigger that could move the market over you know another direction. the markets typically wait for a catalyst and you would have thought that with everything that's going on within europe that would have been catalyst enough obviously it's not big enough because

what we're seeing is the marquee selling off as we have today and then bouncing back on decent economic numbers coming out of out of the u.s. so the market needs a catalyst that's big enough in one direction to push it and we could well be comes from europe we could come from the far east in the form of slowing down from the likes of china so for the time being we're all going to be just really going from from losses to gains. unfortunately that seems to be the case at the moment and it makes for difficult trading and investing conditions where in season i'll the asset classes just literally move move back and forth between within a wider range but eventually markets do break out and this is a lot of the other points how do you think emerging markets such as russia fit in i mean given that europe is right now could it be considered as a safe haven given its budget position. to

a certain extent given. some of these emerging markets could be looking to invest in interview euro zone area. officials from the i.m.f. have approached russia china and the middle east as well to invest in. these countries emerging market countries are reluctant because they don't want to invest in junk status. that will hold the market countries in the stronger position also seeing a wider gulf being formed here between those emerging or developing economies and those ones that have developed such as the little ones in the west which on do particularly well it does seem to be that gulf and emerging markets do seem to be holding up fairly well all right now knows about buffer media's capital thank you so much for being with us. so we've still got time to take a look at exactly the markets i'm looking right now also u.s. markets are indeed looking for direction retail sales have come in better than expected for the second consecutive month which gave an initial boost to the dow

but now it's point three percent. europe was losing just two hours ago we saw the dax declining two percent now it's all come back to flat positions as are on rising spanish and italian bond yields as we've just been talking. about with a rush for me to its capital c. is back to positive territory the dax is still down where you. right comes back to an audience. this is the closing picture in the russian ends of the day flights to cause it's if wealth very most of the session in the red declines on the money six were led by financials but the government managed to recall that and actually end point six percent in positive territory after val's one of the new game is up to close actually one point three percent down that's despite posting its net profit through russian accounting standards moving wife and a half full year on year in the first nine months lukoil also one of the biggest

gain in the move on the market up one point three percent. all right that's it for now we will be back in around fifty five minutes time with an update so do join me . if. you.

feel. the booming. just say. it's the best sex of. the fifi if the big. banks. in the united kingdom is available insists joining us villains from forty one percent the old way even if it's an example so it's a good.
