protesters are marching on this is the final and the biggest round of activity if it had taken place on november seventeenth now again november seventh going to be two month anniversary of the occupy wall street movement that began right here in new york on september seventeenth what began a co-location of a small park near wall street had turned into a nationwide movement that affected countries all across the world from toronto to tokyo cities all across the globe but the braised and the message that these protesters are putting out which is the frustration with corporate greed the control of the political system they perceive by the few corporate elites by those with the means of the wealth and the inability for the average american to essentially put food on the table to live the middle class lifestyle these are some of the demands some of the frustrations that the protesters here have expressed and it is what we are seeing spreading across the country now the events in new york

city have been tense filled with extreme tension many clashes with police officers and the protesters following the raid that took place not only in new york city but across the country in many of the occupations from whole clinton to denver to portland to all kinds of other cities but we saw all this so it in new york city in the morning was a callous protesters hundreds in fact take to the streets near wall street in an attempt to disrupt businesses there to disrupt the operation of the financial sector and they certainly succeeded in doing so hundreds of protesters had sat in different corners blocked off intersections linked arms to pour in human chains to get their message heard to get themselves noticed they were met with an extremely intense police response we witnessed many arrests and back to two hundred or so protesters have been arrested although we expect the numbers will be much higher once all of the information comes to bear we have seen unfortunately a lot of instances of us. me unprovoked the taliban are the police force in many

cases the protestors were simply fighting perhaps standing in an area that's a little bit too close to the sidewalk they were met with brute force by the police department many of them slammed down onto the grounds man caught them physically dragged away the occupy wall street movement was really brought into the spotlight following them out for grass there were witnesses on this very bridge the brooklyn bridge several weeks ago where seven hundred protesters were handled by police and arrested and maps for the most part whether or not their methods will actually result in policy changes remains to be seen but they're certainly being heard by the press by the residents and by countless americans all across the united states reporting for our team on the brooklyn bridge obviously copping out. when you see is keeping abreast of the latest about it and so all the antiwar street protests and the police response to that you can check out her twitter feed for the most up to date information which is posted video footage showing of protests of this face

covered in blood after reportedly being struck with respect and some reports on some according to queston fridge to freedom of speech or spondon something arrested will cost the country. i mean why protesters gathered to show solidarity with the park cause some two dozen people were arrested in los angeles several hundred gathered around some tents of the key road intersection. and went to see the police response firsthand. more than a thousand for year on the streets of los angeles is the financial district we can hear the chants of occupy us say that from the east coast to you in los angeles we have seen tons of these demonstrations in solidarity with the occupy wall street and here the great symbolism people asking for jobs asking for the end of homelessness asking for student debt forgiveness all of this to show support for those who have been arrested at occupy the stations throughout the country.

now you are moving along with several worker unions have shut down streets of downtown los angeles right next to the financial institutions which many say are to blame for the economic crisis that we're in right now if you look behind me justin's dozens of police officers ready to take people into custody some of them in re here there are lines in lines of police cars including us ready to take any sort of demonstrator in to post thirty two dozen people were arrested in los angeles on this international action but despite the arrests occupy l.a.

and move are not deterred los angeles. archie. but it's not only new york and l.a. where the protests taken root in fact nationwide videos from the city's website. under different pretenses authorities are kicking protesters out of their occupy locations no public areas and one of the interesting parts today at least for the occupy d.c. movement has been the police presence there have been just as many officers as protesters they've been parked at every corner they have walked with the protesters and if you take a look here in the potomac river here they are there waiting. right now where closely following the growth of the protests in washington d.c. and philadelphia he's going to change you can interesting. comments from the very areas.

a correspondent for the independent media roots news organization. going beyond the call of duty to protest in the bot. really what we're seeing here is we have to really crush the occupy wall street movement clearly they're trying to you protest with the shock in our. part of the playground back fire so now they're trying to find a concrete. i think that in the united states. don't think i'll give you a few you know the programs you could really learn a lesson about nonviolent direct action and it's really very attractive and one of often shut down it's really kind of the message to the political establishment that you know people really think the two parties because. they're really put up with it and they're just going to stand for it anymore so that's what we're seeing. i mean

the different continents the mood is much the same as a new wave of unrest has through europe tens of thousands put into the streets of spain italy and greece as public anger with cuts and tax hikes comes to head the growing fears of the effect austerity will have on future generations. for europe strains under its debt burden rusher is hoping its plan for a new economic body between former soviet nations could be a welcome counts away to the global financial crisis president deliver his meeting his brother russian counterparts in moscow to finalize the details of further integration and he said no way has more. today will be the signing of the eurasian economic union a new union which is meant to promote further cooperation with the asia pacific region and also to protect them from the spreading economic crisis that we're seeing across europe at the moment it's meant to create a new market with unified legislation three capital flows services and human

resources experts go as far as to say that this is the only way for the three countries to protect themselves from that crisis taking over europe. the eurasian union to become a kurd of products services and workforce between europe america and asia the union is europe's only way to survive because most of the current fiscal crisis this year was held the union will have a migration to a system similar to that of the european shand again agreement is expected to reduce customs terrace unified trading standards that's expected to encourage businesses to invest in modernization and it's greatly expected to boost competition this is meant to be a sort of engine i think you could say for further cooperation within the post soviet region it's expected that countries like ukraine could join in the future that's a possibility of course ukraine devastated by the global financial crisis in fact

some experts told us that it's a union like this existed in the past countries like ukraine would be in a very different position financially today. if the project was realized taken two thousand and four when the ukrainian parliament confirmed the plan of astonishing and united economic zone time sure my country would have gone through the financial crisis more easily and our economy would be in a different position today and this union is also meant to boost cooperation with the european union as well as dialogue with the union the official ceremony will take place later today in the kremlin will happen and analysis for you throughout the day also a lot of experts saying that this could in fact very much help. in terms of getting out of the global financial crisis i will be hearing different versions different aspects of how this union will in fact and protect russia belarus and six that. more on the possible implications of the deal we're joined live now by political

analyst alexander so they've gone off i'm sort of all thanks for joining us here now russia is already joining the world trade organization was pushing the idea of eurasia as economic. well there are several reasons why russia is pushing this matter well first of all because the current prime minister wants to. actually justify his political decision to serve a third term in power and with a big agenda with a bigger agenda and second it's sending a clear message to the rest of the world and to the west but russia is interested in elevating its interests konami please raise your interest national level to the super national level and it's easy to gauge in the process of all building a regional project similar to the european union but with the lessons learned from its operations is it wise for russia and its partners to follow the european model given that the e.u. is now facing such major economic troubles. well yes but as i said the lessons

have been learned and the eurasian union will only take its shape by twenty fifteen so at present it's too soon to judge and too soon to say what it will exactly look like will it be just an economic union or a political unit as well because we have already heard the rhetoric for. they are talking the minute at the ministerial level there are talks about lifting the visa regime easing the regime so practically speaking then what effect will the new economic bloc have on russia's economy and how quickly. well russia. the russian position is that the world is coming through the second stage of the economic crisis and the russian consulate of this crisis is only also building this new alliance. and russia really wants to become and not

the whole economic hole in the world with in line with the concept of multiple eric c. and so instituting a new currency or bring in a new currency the common currency to this eurasian project will be a big advantage for russia and it's only one of the victories that we see here on the way you mention the world better with this result in russian scientists neighbors getting a stronger political voice on the international stage. yes we can already hear that this project will be also a political project although the first. prime minister. said yesterday that it's not it's too soon to say whether it's going to be a political project or whether it will have any other political agenda but there are some phrases and words in the. announcements made by the officials the

top officials in russia that allow us to think or to believe that this project will be political and will russia because russia really wants to prove that the whole soviet space is indeed the spirit's privileged interest but starting from the economic agenda moving to the political holding to the e.u. patent will be a good way of moving forward prove by proving the allies that if this the union is viable in an economic sense then of course a political life of this union or a political attempts will also. successful. ok we'll leave it there political analyst i was on the savannah thank you. russia has again warned foreign powers against intervening in serious internal unrest it comes after jordan reportedly asked the u.k. to take the lead in

a war of words against president assad an effort to oust him from power moscow has expressed concern that the situation is falling too much in line with the libyan scenario sees a bit more. after its pivotal role in the overthrow of moammar gadhafi britain's become the new go to guy when there's trouble in the middle east prime minister david cameron's been handpicked his team captain for another libya style control group aimed at forcing president bashar al assad out to begin with it will be a diplomatic offensive that russia is it's an overreaction that could pave the way for military intervention. we suggested in order to put the arab initiative in place all countries concerned with a peaceful outcome of developments and serious to demand not only from the syrian authorities but also from the opposition to please stop the violence the ongoing attacks on government buildings in syria look like a civil war. at the moment there's no mention of military action from britain their

offensive is purely verbal for now but that's exactly how the libyan intervention began and the timing is very similar to the opposition in syria is now militarized making them much easier to support and adds more weight to any international threats. and house for regime change is very very strong and we should learn the lessons of thousands and thousands. of. nato or any other intervention another military intervention will have even more serious consequences because of the regional threat the whole question of iraq the whole question is well the ukase apparently been handed its leading role by king abdullah of jordan so far the only arab leader to publicly call for assad to quit but the patience of syria's other neighbors and crucial regional brokers' is now wearing thin to the arab league suspended series membership and given presents

a sad until saturday to end the violence with britain already primed this could be the last ditch attempt at conventional diplomacy they're in a position now where they have to take some. they've in effect live extent of it on the ridge and technics right yes for now they can from syria to the three days and so perhaps they're trying to offer us out as much as possible in order to get out of your virginity having sort of taken gregson that they've gone this far they really are a position where they have to have to make good on the promise that if you like otherwise the civilian about the credibility of the free syrian army has been the main driving force behind the growing opposition movement most of defectors from the army launching their latest attack on a security base russia and china are still appealing for dialogue as a way to end what they call two way violence they're desperate to avoid another libya style intervention but that chance may be fading but the wheels are already in motion for a coordinated attack it's verbal for now but when it came to libya it wasn't long

before the words were backed up by weapons and bombs either bennett r.t. london. for more on the syrian unrest and how it began to head to our web site at r.t. dot com and here's a taste of what else is available right now alive and kicking a world war two era tank has been recovered from a river just outside some petersburg amazingly it's in good enough condition to make a parade comeback once restored. pride an offbeat look at the recent global headlines but it struck obama's visit to australia the latest new a crisis news parties cartoon characters a fresh perspective started. but the mood in europe is growing increasingly grim as previously about economies are

brought to their knees by the blocs raging debt crisis in spain where youth unemployment has reached almost fifty percent students and teachers took to the streets to protest against yet more education cuts a correspondent for the school ports from madrid. well it's simply business as usual office but that is so where thousands literally of students teachers professors ever present itself various trade unions have gathered together to protest what they believe to be totally unfair budget cuts. that right now spain is almost next in line to sleep. portugal. comes down to the financial situation basically dire people here gathered to protest to say they're. going to come to power for the elections which are scheduled. to come to power. cuts especially considering education students and teachers alike believe that this

is a. label because it's basically it's going to. what they're saying. they're not these protesters have sex on the political future all the country that of course remains to see. the spanish process where however the war for the demonstrations in athens where people rove against the new year across leaders greece and italy are seen as a teaching that could spell the end of the whole eurozone and the sinking stability through with the spending cuts. and supports a restrain the stereotype could carry a hefty price tag. actually students have a lot to be unhappy about the dire economic situation has seen youth unemployment hit crippling levels in the struggling economies and despite recent political labels in greece and italy face the public and the markets remain unconvinced that

viable solution has now be found if there is any to struggling to get a handle on the crisis we come back to school we come here to the university of macarthur to speak some of the youngest brightest economic minds in the country find out what they think should be done there is the need of course for reforms and probably not enough because they're with. the facts rather than fifteen twenty years so there is also the need for. i think increased public expenditure. that markets so what do they think the solution is something. to. drive. into stocks and some. it is not the will because you are throwing a little bottle of water. because.

you can therefore. promoting growth in the stagnating economies has proved one of the major challenges in an age of e.u. imposed a. technocrat government is now firmly in place mary monti and lucas papademos runs nightly well with their experience to face the tough challenges ahead sixty eight and sixty four respectively spring chickens with a. political class around learned this in feeling little room for the younger generation to have their say so. well so the heads of crosstalk looks at whether there's anything fresh new among the candidates for america's presidential campaign first of its little business with you.

thanks kerry of their own welcome to the program russia has now more internet users than anywhere else in europe but when it comes to cashing in the investors are still wary of the country as artie's morgan acosta reports. this is russia's most popular website on average people spend here about seven hours. over fifty million people are now online in the country knocking germany from the top spots the figure may seem impressive but only ality only a third of the country has regular access to the internet the main problem is infrastructure developments in such a huge country moscow and st petersburg may be doing just fine people in other regions rely on dial up modems and low penetration of broadband in those areas as

many russians are using their cell phones instead this year the number of mobile internet users has grown by nineteen percent this is creating a new billion dollar market that is yet to be tapped by a business where there is little or no competition when it comes to buying goods online russia is a society where cash still dominates and credit card usage is low so even though there is plenty of demand for businesses providing goods and services to consumers there is still a lot of work to be done before you can really take off other than a male dot are you any young that there are not a lot of classic internet businesses here russia's largest search engine varies the one point three billion dollars when it listed on the american stock exchange made a successful short lived with shares slumping below their i.p.o. price soon after investors are interested in the potential of russia especially as the population is expected to reach eighty million people by the end of twenty
