8:01 am
will bring salvation. five pm in moscow i match reza good to have you with us here on r.t. our top story the latest people to feel the sharp end of the police crackdowns on occupy protesters california university students who set up temple tents on campus police in riot gear used pepper spray at least one woman suffered chemical burns as a result the officers response was because the students refused to move artie's guy talks us through the footage of the police actions. student thing baby started for me and were peaceful with protesting social inequality and tuition hikes when they were surrounded by police and pepper spray the thought it coming from there is is astonishing you can see how a police officer mr pepper spray on students were easily sitting under
8:02 am
a walkway and he sprayed the frankenstein one time and then went back to spray them once again our beliefs are also only paint ball concerts faces if we were seeing how resolutely their fellow protesters were treated in other cities like o'loghlin where they were cheer gassed were war veterans were injured or new york or police that strongly but has shown such brutality against useful protesters that you know the whole world a number of journalists were arrested even after they showed their credentials and i probably conform as was struck by police that time while hoarding news helicopters that were painted for him bringing live coverage to people chain of the air our suppliers and the treatment that they received from the police more than floor thousand peaceful protests they said he was arrested nationwide in the last two months more than four thousand a other. internationally there for many for violating from the rights but ironically it doesn't seem to be the case that it contains the united states
8:03 am
a country that he case freedom of expression people are hopelessly silkily justice and people who know me influence of large corporations over decision making in the country under different pretenses authorities and taking protesters out appear on the patients and business happening all across the nation. and earlier and i keep my wall street protester told r.t. that the movement expects police to protect activists rather been attacked them. what we're doing is engaging in civil disobedience in a nonviolent man it's route the country we've been protesting for two months i think that we will maintain the civility that we've maintained and i think that the best way for you know us to avoid any issues is to have the police come and observe us and protect us instead of bringing weapons police attack on our citizens i think if the police were directed in a better way by mayors like that we would be able void these unfortunate incidents that none of us want to see take place. stay with us here on our t.v.
8:04 am
we have more on why students specifically are deeply unhappy in a few minutes. they can't even get a job cleaning toilets criminal way it's just begging for any sort of work already to even go to college if this is what it's ending up with from diploma to desperation we look at what's drawing thousands of young americans to protest against the country's financial aid system and whether it be occupied movement will leave a lasting impact stay with us. but first twelve reportedly been killed in clashes in syria as the arab league's ultimatum against the country's leadership expires later on saturday and earlier this week the cairo based body suspended the country and promised tougher action if president bashar al assad fails to end the violence pressure on the arab countries been mounting throughout the week with france now insisting it's too late for the regime to try and save itself through reform and the u.k.
8:05 am
is officially started talks with syria's opposition with critics saying this mirrors the build up to the operation in libya russia thinks the situation is being dramatize by foreign parties and threats that opposition groups could also lay down there are turkey and jordan announced plans to establish the buffer zones for refugees on syrian territory a move war correspondent eric marvelous things could signal the start of outside involvement. it certainly looks like the beginning of a military intervention i'm surprised frankly turkey is the side in two girls. who are trying to ration and grow its neighbors the jordan in the sense the commutes neck out to washington. london time through you know assad regime because it's a key ally of iran and a key supporter of little or not the sort of. logic.
8:06 am
through along with the saudis and just release and whatever you are wise heads in washington to the others saying wait a minute if you look through she wants to take its place and tell little intervention on something now you know there is such eagerness to get iran he is syria and the coalition has been i think streams of the. this all comes as the revolution reprise is over in egypt riot police there are dismantling tents at arresting activists who stayed overnight in cairo's tahrir square this after earlier mass protests against the military rule. who've been in control since president mubarak was ousted from power in february they were demanding the withdraw the proposal that declares the military the guardian of constitutional objecting to see the protests was arranged by the islam is not islam brotherhood and supported by some secular activists u.s. based radio host stephen lennon thinks a military role could prove to be a greater evil for egypt that mubarak. things are worse now and that the military
8:07 am
works better than they ever were under mubarak people are a great on top of the repression because social issues have gone completely unaddressed through repression is been extremely severe thousands of being arrested imprisoned tortured put into trout was a military trained units no justice was going on in egypt apparently it is still be complimentary o. actions the end of november and it looks like the military junta will postpone a presidential election until sometime in two thousand and thirteen in the interim it will maintain supreme power it will pick the prime minister he will have eternal power goes out in parliaments. in all the arab protests this year the shouting and chanting for change became a hallmark for the protestors or others the call me is was better made through
8:08 am
music especially for weary objections whose regime revolution is proving to be a waste of time or his policies we are explaining why. they came onto the arab street in the millions inspired by the call for change their hopes for get a future structure called for all but it didn't take long before disappointment and fear sit in. times in the french revolution. and then shopping. this time around it took even less in egypt the military will get a place doesn't only come from the old order but has been criticized for changing precious little in the lives of ordinary people now understand that they cannot fulfill. this big complex. too many. political parties. to the. fortress everywhere it's the music they hope to write plays on is the only reminder of the
8:09 am
social changes promised by the coaches. music reflects people's grievances and the status quo in the country. but for now those grievances are far from resolved the song made syrian singer. a national hero with his call for syrian president bashar al assad to step down and he paid the ultimate price for his protests do it's good for him was found with his throat slit down a river that would have been removed a clear message to those who dare to speak out and those who enthusiastically chanted after him understood the meaning all too well we are praising the. revolution. i think it will live in the. about what will happen in syria the local happen in syria remains uncertain and indeed be at the story continues to unfold with gates of how the end he cheap is awash with pushy sons and have sprung
8:10 am
up across the arab world i don't think the protests this in a get achieved with a simple solution to defeat could. and so bob in music plays on the hopes are fading that we've illusions would bring real change and the only harmony to be found is confined to the airwaves. tel aviv stay with us here in our can still have the already international community builds pressure on iran if you look at the latest stats the un and its atomic watchdog are taking over terror on and when you expert opinion on the likelihood of a country even considering having weapons plus. in the past twenty years hundreds of thousands of pundits have migrated from passenger i think the populations of three hundred thousand to around three thousand harsh discrimination suffered by kashmiri hindus of the hands of local muslims but they were used to be eaten and
8:11 am
want their people to return home. but first the un general assembly has adopted a resolution condemning iran over the alleged conspiracy to kill the saudi ambassador to washington a claim tehran calls unsustained this comes as the u.n. nuclear watchdog called on iran to answer outstanding questions over its nuclear program the us has also promised to introduce a new unilateral sanctions on the middle eastern states or oil industry diplomatic pressure on iran is coming amid reports that israel could be considering a military strike on tehran's facilities for more on this i'm joined by most and political highlight was live with us in lebanon good to have you with us so with so much pressure on iran what do you think is on the minds of the countries that are being taking sort of an adversarial stance with them right now in terms of sanctions and harsh rhetoric do you think they want. to cooperate or feel cornered what's your take. well as your hypothesis is that the second
8:12 am
hypothesis or question would be implemented all. of a secret that i guess americans and the western powers of flying around in the corner and by conspiring or making allegations. these allegations have nothing. with the ground. and basic. premise for saying that iran concerning especially the saudi ambassador in washington or concerning be a nuclear program is perhaps it has been it has been. said that the americans are trying to pressure iran in order to come to the table and say something about some political issues in iraq and in progress time and in syria and this has nothing to do with the plot against the saudi ambassador all of the
8:13 am
nuclear program so they are trying it to do something and order to pressure on iran for something else so this has this has to do with the political scene in the region because iran. has been really energy acting all these policies in that israel for. especially or prying. the position of the american of course encouraging some groups in syria and on the roof. to kill some syrian rogers are you are you also are you also dismissing then the i.a.e.a. report on iran which has a parasitic already. absolutely you know and everybody knows that and you know iran actually iran actually has been showing that its program is
8:14 am
a separate program has nothing to do with their military program and even this year i said it many times that iran has nothing to do with the military progress concerning lard they forget things is there any program they have two hundred at least at least three hundred nuclear warheads in india morna and of course the americans will try to cover up such a problem in the middle east if they want to really do this in the zation to succeed they have to search all good region for the nuclear. reactions whether in iran or in. this is ironist empathy and or of course a very shortly we're running out of time here but i just want to ask you one more question how do you think additional u.s. sanctions that they say they're going to impose on iran's oil industry change the
8:15 am
situation. not think it won't change anything and it probably if you can see it wanted to kind of position. they not these states the united states and and the western powers they are trying to push the shines out of the chinese and the and on is in order to. obey or to complain with then with their policies in the region i guess they failed so far to impose any kind of these sanction all want to call it's all cool and put down iran or syria or even the resistance movements in that egypt we have to leave it there most and political analyst from lebanon thanks for your time. debt fears in the euro zone are turning to spain as its borrowing costs are approaching alarming levels the e.u. fourth largest economies preparing itself for tomorrow's parliamentary elections but is our he's a real inclusion reports none of the candidates is offering an answer to the raging
8:16 am
unemployment and financial stagnation. there are two main parties contending for the elections at the moment the socialist parties which is which has been held in spain right now and the people's party however over the past couple of days that we have been observing especially here in madrid it does not look like any party will actually with a majority vote people seem to have become disillusioned with any of the choices they have all and they are political table as a matter of fact the socialists have been in power for the last several years and they have been the people for instance to be blamed for not noticing the economic downturn for not reacting to the crisis properly and plunging spain into a mix for a while now just a reminder the country has one of the highest employment rates in europe it's more than two point four percent and has the highest unemployment rate among young people according to one of the stunt spanish research companies in september alone four thousand people have been losing their jobs in spain every single day more
8:17 am
than five million people in the country do not have a provider for their homes and unfortunately first spain a lot of people believe the situation will get worse before it will get better as nations labor to preserve their endangered banking sectors knox kaiser and stacey her focus on how some banks are using their newfound immunity to bulk up their balance sheets kaiser report coming up this hour but here's a quick look. they blame themselves that was fantastic about having customers when i was working on a wall street you lose a match and they blame themselves it's fantastic you just keep still no money and they're keep crying about. me help me relieve me of my money in the guilt they're just still money now and pretty soon they'll still money accompanied by and knocked on the head and thrown into prison that's what happens when you look close the cracks around the system whether it's in greece ireland america the u.k.
8:18 am
this is their methodology. turning back to our top story the u.s. campaign against corporate greed that's faced a nationwide police crackdown one group in the country that knows this better than knows what it's like to be needed deep in debt or students many of whom are discovering that a costly degree is no longer a guarantee of future employer it or he's a pretty important catch up with one of them. this image of twenty three year old steph gray speaks to the widespread debt epidemic among american college graduates desperate to find work right now i can't even get a job cleaning toilets for minimum wage i've tried at a local motel there's nothing i made down versions of my resume is just begging for any sort of work walking around starbucks that solves anything like i did when i was seventeen and it makes me think well why did i even go to college if this is what it's ending up with armed with
8:19 am
a master's degree in geography and one hundred thirty five thousand dollars in student debt great collects two hundred dollars in monthly food stamps and sells textbooks on e bay for make extra cash the struggling graduate lost both her parents by the age of twelve approximately two months behind on my rents i have no idea how to catch up i lie awake at night please be freaking out about this i frightened of being evicted but no matter how much she loses she's obligated to keep paying back her private loan to sallie mae america's largest private lender and took out forty thousand dollars in loans i'm already owing sixty five thousand and i just graduated a couple of months ago twenty five thousand dollars in interest came out of nowhere unlike federal loans private loans can adjust interest rates as high as lenders want and don't offer consumer protection income based repayment is not an option with any private loans neither is deferment for the unemployed for example right
8:20 am
now i'm desperately looking for work and selling maintenance payments they want me to pay about seven hundred dollars a month greg is one of millions of americans and haunted by student again but very few have any other option to issue costs have risen six hundred percent since one nine hundred eighty and most of the top ivy league colleges cost fifty thousand dollars per year steph curry is pioneering occupy student debt a movement calling for u.s. congress to reinstate consumer. protections that would keep private lenders from pushing millions of americans into default it's going to default after default and once you defaults that's a black mark on your credit report for life because two months cannot be discharged in bankruptcy there is legislations take the strait of reins two thousand and five that sallie mae lobbied for years and the millions and millions on lobbyist student debt in the u.s. is nearing one trillion dollars already even more of these. nation's credit card debt and today
8:21 am
a generation of americans find themselves in slave to banks and armed with a diploma that no longer guarantees a job or not are to me. and it's not just students taking part in the occupy movement it's attracting people of all walks of life from all fifty states host warry harford news crews in new york has been trying to find out what the legacy of the movement is likely to be. has the attitude of wall street movement achieved its goal of creating a shift in the system or is it slowly becoming a blip but history probably won't remember this week let's talk about that i think they've brought some attention to the issues that nobody really wants to talk about so. if it becomes part of the conversation yeah i think they've accomplished something but there's still a lot of work to do i'm hopeful that they'll continue with their efforts and they will give us maybe a way to get people to take and make a big difference so i think we'll think about it for
8:22 am
a while and then go back to the ball. because you can't change the bikers minds attempt up but i think that's one of the problems no one really knows what their mission is other than because people lot of problems do you think if they had a leader that would help them define what their movement and i think if they were that organize a cry of jobs and wouldn't be slain around wall street i'll be honest if they are in the what the message is so clearly they haven't communicated bad well not at all so how are they going to get out of history he begged. i don't think that we'd be much in history down the road is going to be there is not significant. feel like it fix it all just everybody something they feel passionate about significant but so well there's it's not every revolution starts with someone just getting this sort of to say i don't care what happens to me i'm going to make a change and then hopefully other people add on to that so what's the next step how do they add on. i don't know i guess you get the middle class that's kind of comfortable that doesn't see that is
8:23 am
a real problem because they're comfortable you either get them involved or uncomfortable if you think they're going to go out when it starts now and. i hope so because then all i'll feel better about it because the the worst conditions they endure as we go along i think the more all feel supporting of it that they need to go through a little bit more and then has he will have a chance and i don't remember them two months protest. i'm doing it but you got to stick it out but not you think aqib i while street movement has achieved its goals the bottom line is it will be interesting to see if the protesting continues when the snow of riots. take a look now at some other stories making headlines across the globe libyan authorities blame the chain colonel gadhafi son saif it said he was trying to escape can you share with two aides when seized by the military similar claim was made during the rebel siege of tripoli but dismissed after saif appeared on camera at
