so large an r.t.a. at least one hundred arrests and a mass demo get underway in new york with thousands of protesters filling the streets to mark two months of occupy rallies police using sound cannons to disperse the crowds we're live in lower manhattan for you. also russia's foreign minister says external forces are deliberately trying to aggravate the situation in syria to justify a possible intervention. and fresh anti austerity protests across italy and greece in a warning to the two country's new prime ministers who plan to pull the nation's out of debt with yet more cuts.

this is r t it's ten pm thursday night here in moscow my name is kevin zero in on our top story then violent arrests are taking place in new york where a huge anti wall street rallies underway hundreds of activists are marching across the city pledging to occupy streets bridges and subways and this is all part of the protest against economic inequality that's been going on for exactly two months now his report is in downtown new york for us. right now was that the crowd. all morning in white thousands of out sophists of this occupy movement i had been demonstrating all around our lower manhattan league and with that time to shut up shut down the new york stock exchange that causes dozens of protests popular russet not some of the arrests started chillingly aggressive we saw police officers

growing optimistic out of the ground both a female and male there have been also forced to see our candidates to disperse the crowd the crowd are walking along on the on the sidewalk with its stuff on the street that's when the police get very expressive there's been pushing as i mentioned and arrests in zuccotti park i should mention this the zuccotti park which was greeted a few days ago by the new york city police department i have to have god back in there but it is going to be quite nice the optimiser saying to the police take off you're right there's no why you're here while i've been on one side of wall street the covering some of the demonstrations up my colleague lucy coming off has been covering pother parts she actually got caught up in one of the demonstrations once it was getting quite aggressive and said let's take a look at michael she has filed this really it's what. people down to the ones i

was. fourteen. producers are simply standing on a street what it looks like all the miller says that's what us them phone turning to push some people on the ground including one woman who was violently hit i witnessed her hit with the police officer things are getting a little bit hectic again it's hard to tell who's starting what but it's certainly the police response through to these occupations again most of the protesters are very diverse in age we've seen everyone from people in their sixty's seven young women and i haven't seen that many children a lot of syrians here. not exactly the right wing types of you know typical riotous crowds that one would expect to be greeted with this kind of a police response so again it's very unclear. why this is happening in fact if maybe we can have a number there that was one of the women one of them was arrested and shout was. sitting here rather than think the whole world was watching was watching was peter

has been a journalist and we had three and he was you know would you know what i did one hundred thirty one of her colleagues standing up there and so one of her colleagues is standing over there i don't know where he went right now but she was they were kneeling on her neck and i don't know why they were doing that which was tight enough fighting back that it was ridiculous as you can see there's not much distinction made between press and the protesters here i don't know how this is going to play out but the mood is extremely tense in the continues at this rate i think we can expect to see many many more arrests for this day is over reporting for our team downtown washington d.c. . and a bit earlier we saw more important reporting for us one of our other correspondents there so the thousands of americans are expected to vent their anger against corporate greed thursday as protesters in new york call for similar occupy action across the country robert david steel's a political analyst and former intelligence officer he says it's the u.s. government that's inciting the violence of the nationwide rally. you can't screw

all of the people all of the time and get away with it goldman sachs and the banks and the us government has gone way over the line in terms of being irresponsible. what we would call our seed corn. this is also not a us organization it is a global organization and it differs from the tea party in that the tea party loves the republican corruption they just don't like the democratic corruption occupies against all forms of corruption and one of the nicest things about oakland is that they have developed a very fine technique for basically researching and photographing all prior known police officers and then fining them when their undercover police are not good undercover work i still remember introducing the us government to hackers in one thousand nine hundred four and the us government undercover president consisted of two guys with with very short hair white t. shirt shorts and black or a frank shoes that was their version of undercover at the time and we also was very

funny the us government actually stinks that clandestine human intelligence and it stinks at counterintelligence. what they are doing though is their inciting violence there is a massive information operations campaign against this group. and of course the corporate media in the united states is completely owned by wall street. still there and later the rapper immortal technique tells us why the occupy movement is about america's civil rights as well as wall street wealth. the idea of america is to give democracy and freedom to people but i think that now more than ever it's become about placating and about pacifying so they don't put the amount of freedom that they're guaranteed almost like bill clinton that you seem to know your rights . and more and more i mean even you want to make this entirely about occupy wall

street and even the people that are down at each and every single occupy wall street that are sitting there holding the lot that have little to this still see this civil rights being cut every single this is excuses left and right now we want to clean the. move everyone out. situation in syria has been dramatized by external forces to pave the way for a possible international military intervention that is the view of russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov who called on all sides to stop the violence and begin talks that he can offer the latest from moscow for some very strong words from russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov has been talking about this issue asian in and around syria basically he's been saying that the violence is continuing and the tension is continuing to rise as well and it's said that some states are actually pushing to accelerate this process. for observing how the external players are

trying to boost the confrontation in syria perhaps striving to dramatize the situation in media and gain additional grounds for a possible intervention in syrian affairs however everyone tonight on the record we feel some countries have such plans russia has been strongly criticizing the violence going on in syria throughout the entire conflict but moscow has been stressing that this is a serious internal matter which has to be solved through peaceful dialogue between the stories in the country and to the opposition and the foreign minister is once again called on both sides to put their weapons down. the violence is being spread not only by the authorities but by the opposition as well what bones are still being smuggled into syria and the entire situation there looks as if it's really on the brink of a civil war so if you are of all sorts stressed that the a libyan scenario cannot be repeated just peaceful

a dialogue between all parties that's the only way according to moscow. now britain's report is being urged by the king of jordan to take the lead in a diplomatic drive against syria after the u.k. to keep bombing libya's colonel gadhafi international pressure continues to pile up on president assad is now be given till saturday to hold crackdowns on protestors or face more isolation this comes as russia was against taking sides bennett reports britain's been picked his team captain along with francois 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 would be of verbal offensive putting pressure on prison and sad it could indeed end with him being forced to step down now the details of this the most following a meeting between the british prime minister david cameron and king out a lot 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 now he's believed also to prefer britain and france over america to lead any such mission because of the 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 is purely verbal but that is of course how the libyan intervention and an operation started is already several similarities france and all have already recalled their ambassador from damascus and of course the timing with the militarization of the opposition which would make any kind of intervention a lot easier to support. and let's get a broader view of the situation we're joined by former pentagon official michael maloof on the line from our washington studio michael good evening russia's foreign minister as you know couldn't of his regret the western cultures of turning up the pressure on president assad to pave the way for a possible military adventure which countries do you think is still the most keen

to see it go. i think it's saudi arabia saudi and i think you have in effect i think foreign minister lavrov was absolutely correct. in a fact right now have in syria a proxy sunni shia sectarian war underway and i think king abdullah could really put a stop to it even though he may want. president bashar assad out there the ramifications of this continuing are far greater they could actually creep into saudi arabia itself this is clearly saudi arabia against iran using. syria as a as one of the battlegrounds and battle lines right now but i think. really needs to be much more assertive in trying to placate this and try to bring the sides together and and i think that turkey even though it's sunni as well really it

has a major role to play in terms of. its no no problem foreign policy to bring sides together to bring this to a much more peaceful outcome. i think that we're going to be seen much more. chaos in the streets in that this this tends to not be the waters in terms of what the real issues are here and i think that this is really. a battleground for saudi arabia at this point to try and make to try to keep iran of the middle east because of the sunni shia problem you're also going to be seeing this by the way right next door in iraq already we're seeing that the western provinces that border on syria and are predominantly sunni are getting a lot of saudis assistance so that soon these will be able to creep into and through syria and. raise this content and and demonstrations and protests

and and i think. that regime. is quite concerned about that and of course he's got the backing of iran michael what's the role of the arab league here what the pull of this it it seems to become increasingly prominent in putting pressure on syria do you think western countries now feel that it's better route to getting their way through the u.n. . i think that it's preferable a better that the arab countries handle these matters on their own i think the arab league can be somewhat influential after all it was syria which is one of the founding members and but by suspending it i think it could potentially be cutting off attention avenue for dialogue i would hope that we could see them back off from that a little bit and be much more forthcoming and getting some grow enough to get some adult supervision into that area of saudi arabia syria. even

iran and turkey getting those heads together to try and bring this to closure and at the same time assad has a certain responsibility as well to start implementing some of the long promised reforms that he's been talking about and which have not come to pass but it's quite clear that there is quite an organized effort from outside to arm and take advantage of what was popular discontent and now it has become much more of a of a more militarized form of opposition from within just briefly michael ware on the line i want to ask you about the opposition in syria the way it's been conducting itself it's been presented by the mainstream media as civilians killed by the regime but we do know that with the opposition's also arm so how fair is it to criticize as one side when there are two warring factions here. well you have

they're much more organized the problem is that a lot of the military some of the military i should say including the syrian air force are predominantly sunni and they they are so you have some defectors which have gone and and there's going to be a question of whether they can really be the organizers of the syrian free army to to do something i search turkey right now is contemplating supporting them as long as they're not armed which is questionable but but that only helps fuel the fire but it's very clear that they're receiving assistance from especially the syrian muslim brotherhood and you have this the syrian muslim brotherhood and saudi arabia on why they're advocating that turkey take more direct military action in syria which is not helping the situation at all ok for you sort of your thoughts there malcolm luthor were official at the pentagon. now when i website r t dot com where we're asking for what you think is going to happen here it's always good to hear

your thoughts how do you think is going to play out in syria this is what you're telling us again it's been the same last couple of hours there the majority of their forty percent seem convinced that nato was set to intervene with or without u.n. backing and it's been through one seat or twenty three percent of you this said that nato wouldn't get involved militarily for fear of sparking a new bloody war in the region but if if if you believe that syria is simply too strong of the saddle for too much support for the overthrow and eighteen percent of you. think that nathan willing to leave now is to present the with u.s. backing president tallies up at r.t. dot com tonight. thousands of grigs have taken to the streets of athens in a warning to new prime minister lucas papademos nasty youngsters through fire bombs at police department thousands of police monitoring the demonstrations responded with tear gas and stun grenades the answer is tara to protest the range of forcing home the message the parliament of the onslaught of tax cuts are unacceptable and

this all coincided with an annual rally marking greece's bloody student uprising in one hundred seventy three which helped topple the country's we were back with a three. i think it's really students there clashing with police when thousands of people marched in protest against budget cuts and a lack of jobs it followed new prime minister mario monti's made a speech in parliament where he pledged to push through austerity measures which will mean huge sacrifices for all the people in the cracks why the elsewhere to in the euro zone with a fresh blow from one of its strongest members the dutch prime minister now says. countries should be kicked out of the currency club if they're not strong enough leaving only the most robust economies inside wrapping it up bush. the worst day yet for the euro that's how one bank called news the villains considered the second strongest economy in the single currency has seen its boring course brief but the markets to new highs the dutch prime minister was forced to

react on concerns that the problems spiralling out of control. said he'd like to be able to push countries out of the euro to put out the spoiler as he called it is raising fears that qantas will be forced to leave the euro stop this cross is spreading. as a first step a majority of dutch people finds a new poll want to stop the bailouts of greece which many see as the horrors of the problems i love greece i every year i go to greece bit this is a little bit did i did i think because i got a lot of money or millions of. euros but until this moment did they don't do anything about it today should help us yeah i really meant because if we have the same problems going on across all of this is the man dubbed europe's top to do well many of today's euro skeptics was singing its praises in the ninety's top economist are your clomid wrote an open letter to

e.u. leaders warning the single currency would destroy europe and deep down he says those leaders knew it with the euro they brought in sort of the horrors of trojan a trojan horse that isn't really going to on the european project that's the big danger that. it causes for conflicts for assurance disagreements. for economic instability taxpayers have paid a price they get very upset about it and you noted that former politicians were aware of this problem but they have pushed this through in the idea of. a great ideal one euro one europe that's one euro one europe canales books is this because the dutch just don't feel solitaire at sea with the other members is now here for the first i would have to be interested in how the greek capsis i don't want to

know how to fix things what the pension age of the front fringe is neither greece nor france has a place in the euro a new nor the euro only for prudent states proposed by a top truly party official last week experts think just three countries actually deserve to stay in. only germany the netherlands and belgium can. sleep without having it come on because the villain's already pays more per person into e.u. call first than anyone else but growing numbers will see me to. the neighbors and a new push to our team in the hague. about his motive making off for the wealth of europe in the us but across in china expectations are very different even if the criminal community has said it is mark's case and stacy explain next on this channel in the courage to report. the fenceline scolds a woman for having nothing of value to steal so women in china woke up and found an

intruder in our apartment in the middle of the night but rather than run away the guy stayed there he criticized her for more than ten minutes telling her she needs to get educated work harder and accumulate some kind of wealth before she gets old the man went on i am but a simple thief yet i have more than you so i thought this could possibly be jamie dying when he read that there was all the silver going to try it out he was like a cat burglar ring around looking for some silver to meet us naked short position well i think something a lot of the translation actually because the woman is actually sleeping on a mattress filled with us dollars and as the thief pointed out there's no value in those i want i want real money i want silver. if small scale regional conflicts continue to grow the world could soon see them

a new forum to resolve trade disputes one of the biggest concerns for russia is the so-called first energy package and it prohibits a gas producer from also transit infrastructure also claims this is a squarely at castro however of its life mission from august media thinks it's unlikely the issue will be challenged through the w c o as some media suggest. i don't see really any direct influence with russian of russia joining w. changing some our position of european union the european commission actually in regards with the package because i think it should be done again on the biological basis especially if gas problem want to move some some businesses away south stream another pipeline project structure which are excluded from the priority projects of the european union and they are under this so going to back it's rules so it could be done on a separate basis i don't think any direct involvement of w.t.
