pm in moscow good to have you with us here on r t our top story in new york bracing for its biggest protest in years as anti wall street activists promise to occupy the whole city thursday it's marks two months since the movement started in lower manhattan with activists now planning to fill the streets bridges the subway and even shut down wall street itself they also want similar action taken in other cities across the u.s. and indeed around the world this is live video you're looking at now from lower manhattan tens of thousands of americans expected to vent their anger against what they say is corporate greed despite a wave of police raids against demonstrators in recent weeks officers have been accused of using excessive force including using pepper spray and tear gas to disperse otherwise peaceful rallies hundreds of people were arrested tuesday in the

heart of the campaign new york is a comedy park where the protesters result appears stronger than ever or tease marine important reports. in the financial capital of the world a movement called occupy wall street is born in eight short weeks the fight against us corporate greed and wealth inequality and that infests in all fifty states i don't now make american movements not seen since the sixty's and the power of the people grows louder police force strong peaceful activists by the tons blinded by me and thrown to the ground i know and after this which tends to law enforcement flash grenades the response is. fear if. you

think that there are. people exercising their democratic right or. why would. there. be. you but and so they go and with the. help you. get them disappear this is a psychological thousands of occupy activists have been jailed throughout the two month campaign the mass arrests of eight hundred on the brooklyn bridge garnered international attention but this image of an eighty four year old former school teacher pepper sprayed during a demonstration captures the crackdown activists face brought to a boiling point by economic injustice and a political system failing the majority protesters demonstrated unprecedented resilience. and then u.s. authorities began occupying the occupations one by one even activists under the

pretext of health or safety concerns a raid on the headquarters in new york came at one am hundreds of armed officers just. boring and displacing the heart of this democratic movement it can't evict an idea to the idea that we are than i did i said of americans that you know we need to resist the good points of financial institution the corporations write record of in terms of those messages that are being spread around the country every time and then the stories come in and try to make some type of sense of strike in a cowardly way at one am without any warning it shows the public support for this because the number is in the streets until the next day people come out out and determined to carry on what began as an occupation in a park has grown into a national movement fighting for principles from wall street to times where support for the occupy movement has topped the streets uniting tens of thousands of strangers bound by common hardship and frustration two months in there is no

denying the grassroots movement has become the brand of the big apple the social marker in america. for niall hartstein new york. archies lucy kavanagh is down among the crowds we'll get a live update from her as soon as possible but coming your way in the next hour or immortal technique tells us why the occupy movement is about us civil rights as well as wall street well. the idea of america is to give the moccasin freedom to people but i think that now more than ever it's become about placating people and about pacifying them so they don't as put the amount of freedom that their parents see almost like bill clinton that you seem to know you're right. that happens more and more i mean even if you want to make this entirely about occupy wall street and even the people that know that each and every single occupy wall street that is sitting there holding the law that have

a legal duty this is still see this civil rights movement every single this ill see excuses left and right now we want to clean the park so we're going out to move everyone out. turning out to some of the day's other top stories in britain reportedly being urged by jordan's king to take the lead in a diplomatic drive against syria after the u.k.'s key role in bombing out libya's colonel qadhafi international pressure continues piling up on president assad who's been given till saturday to halt crackdowns on protestors or face further isolation this as russia warns against anybody taking sides artie's ivor bet it has the details from london. britain's been picked as team captain along with france by at least one arab country to lead a libya style contact group now their task at the moment is a diplomatic one to coordinate policy between arab countries and the west in what will be a verbal offensive putting pressure on president assad they could indeed end with

him being forced to step down now the details of this most following a meeting between the british prime minister david cameron and king abdullah of jordan earlier that took place earlier this week in london king abdullah is actually the first arab leader to publicly call for president assad to step down and he's believed also to prefer britain and france over america to lead any such mission because of their success they had in libya where they led military intervention that ousted colonel gadhafi now there's no mention of any such military activity with syria at the moment at the moment this is purely defensive it's clearly verbal but that is of course how the libya intervention and an operation started is already several similarities france will have already recalled their ambassador from the masses and of course the timing with the militarization of the opposition which would make any kind of intervention a lot easier to support now russia they see it as a two way street because both sides are guilty of violence the free syrian army which is one of the main opposition groups in syria the moment is largely made up

now of defectors from the syrian army. we suggested you know it would be recognition to be in place all countries concerned with a peaceful outcome and develop to some serious demand not only from the syrian authorities but also from the opposition to stop the violence the ongoing attacks on government buildings and series look like a civil war still lifes you know what could hamper any dialogue is the patience of the peace brokers the arab league which is already approached britain to lead a libya style contract contact group suggests that this could be a last ditch diplomatic attempt by the. as we've heard the political sands may be shifting in the region with many of syria's neighbors taking measures against president assad's regime but as artie's possibly reports there are fears that he's moves could actually make the situation worse. first the arab league votes and then a senior turkish official openly discusses the possibility of imposing

a buffer zone on the syrian side of the border to give same shri to refugees in other words direct military action boilerplate of the libya scenario it seems likely to get annoyed it is not a demand for reform it is targeting syria which is very dangerous and very risky for the whole region even in israel syria's archenemy some would rather assad stayed in power but we're also going out of. israel forever of course this is not understood. from the very go. but the pressure on assad continues to mount which once supported his government says it plans to suspend joint oil exploration and is considering stopping electricity supplies to syria just the latest in a long list of sanctions already imposed on the country the sanctions may be a way for the powerful western countries to exert some sort of pressure over syrian

government but really the people are the ones who suffer by not being able to have medicines by not being able to have certain technology is there may be required to save lives one human rights group the syrian observatory once both a buffer zone and a libyan style no fly zone but western leaders have realized that unlike in libya they cannot push for a no fly zone at the u.n. security council this time around because of russia as well to veto it and while the arab league has stopped short of calling for syrian president bashar assad's departure critics say the stance is nothing short of hypocrisy they have no. oil at least they don't have some of them they don't have. a constitution and. a developed the democracy that they're having on it and. what's more assad is shown he's willing to conduct reforms his government announced the release of one thousand prisoners after previously

agreeing to commit five hundred i would be appointed observers this is you know i signed that it is still going he still concerned about what his neighbors think and he still. under some sort of willingness to negotiate but it's not clear the arab league has the patience to listen and neither do we still need is who decided a long time ago as side needs to go and we thought the option to do it through the united nations the arab league is the next best option policy on t ten of on our website r.t. dot com are asking you for your prediction what do you think will happen in syria so far almost forty per cent convinced nato will intervene with or without the u.n. backing one seat assad twenty three percent say nato wouldn't get involved militarily for fear of sparking a new war in the region if the other fifty think syria is just too strong and assad has too much support to be overthrown about the same amount think nato will intervene and i was there sided with me way back when i saw the tallies up so far

what do you think click on our feet uptown have your say. cracks appear to be widening in the eurozone with the latest blow coming from one of its strongest members the netherlands its prime minister wants countries to be able to kick others out of the currency club public opinion already swinging heavily in toward a new union made up would be used most robust economies are constrained bushell has more. the worst day yet for the euro that's how one banker called news that the netherlands considered the second strongest economy in the single currency the seen exploring cause raised by the markets to new highs the dutch prime minister was forced to react on concerns that their problems spiralling out of control. said he'd like to be able to push countries out of the euro to put out the fire a c. called it is raising fears that countries will be forced to leave the euro to stop this crisis is spreading. as a first step of maturity of dutch people finds

a new poll to stop the bailouts of greece which many see as the holts of the problems i love greece i every year i go to greece it's this is a little bit did i did i think cost quite a lot of money or millions off of. euros but until this moment if they don't do anything about it today should help us you really meant well because if we have the same problems you cannot make progress this is the man dubbed europe's top to do while many of today's euro skeptics were singing its praises in the ninety's top economist or your club or wrote an open letter to e.u. leaders warning the single currency would destroy europe and deep down he says those leaders do it with the euro they brought in sort of the horse and throat the trojan horse that is really going through the european project as the big danger

and that. it's cause for conflicts for assurance disagreements. for economic instability taxpayers have paid a price they get very upset about it and we know that former politicians were aware of this problem but they have pushed this through in an idea of that it is a great idea one euro one europe it's one euro one europe canales books is this because the dutch just don't feel solace there at sea with the other members now here for the first i would have to be interested in how the greek paid their taxes i don't want to know how to think what the pension age of the front fringes know the greece nor france has a place in the new row the new nor the euro only for prudent states atop the truly party official last week experts think just three countries actually deserve to stay in. only germany the netherlands and belgium share the same couldn't see

without having it cannot make. the villains clearly pays more per person into e.u. cultures than anyone else the growing numbers will see he said this so the neighbors. in the hague. italy's newly installed prime minister mario monti is unveiling his response plan to help tackle the country's massive debt crisis is being followed by huge interest including by university students in several cities across the country thousands of them took to the streets thursday protesting against budget cuts and a lack of jobs for more on the e.u.'s fraught financial plight we're joined by james watson professor of international relations at the american university of rome good to have you with us so it always new prime minister has already said he'll aim to implement measures that will mean great sacrifices for the italian people how do you think they will react to the sacrifices we've already seen massive anti cuts protests in the streets just today we're seeing the protests

a lot of work to do to get their. economy in order and get the truth of that lack of growth so it's still the case still call the shots the euro currency the rankest taking over here most of your friends so they will be willing help to try and get italy growing again and causing huge public. now its value in bonds or recently passed the red alert seven percent mark and now spanish bonds seem to be close to those levels too how do you think investor confidence can be shored up at this point if that's at all possible. well spain is going to the polls on sunday and presumably have secured stable government if that happens then the markets will at least a little bit of confidence. starts off with the new control that spain is good and

what we need to. the level should. it stay in this industry with more people to use to sell it to the county government here literally it's two thirds of the. senate they need to change that tomorrow and he will have the power . by saturday but if you start suing people on the block it should happen. now there is talk about the e.u. split growing louder the prime minister of the netherlands recently saying that there is the possibility of a slimmed down leaner meaner monetary union so to speak how realistic do you think that is. well chancellor merkel has been suggesting this for some time the possibility of leaving the euro. leave. something for greece and italy who say they would like to think it would because it actually would be peace on the streets because it would be much i replaced it would be much more difficult to. play the

greek with a tiny bit of the alternatives are either full. and complete disservice to. the euro that would be disastrous. to destroy. this report by conduct. idea so. very very difficult. all right thanks for your analysis james walston professor of international relations at the american university of rome thank you well bankers may be making off with the wealth of europe and the u.s. but across in china expectations are very different even in a criminal community as max and stacey explain coming your way at fifteen thirty g.m.t. here's a peek. in china scolds woman for having nothing of value to steal so women in china woke up and found an intruder in her apartment in the middle of the night but rather than run away the guy stayed there he criticized her for more than ten
