if the police were directed in a better way by mayors we would be able for this unfortunate incident that none of us want to take place. among the protesters is one group really feeling the weight of death in america's current financial sector. they can't even get it out it's from a wage is just begging for any sort of work provided even go to college that this is the it's ending up with diploma it's just a race should we look at what's drawing fallon's of young americans to protest against the country's monetary system right now and whether the occupy movement will be even the footprint. told people have reportedly been killed in clashes in syria as the arab league's ultimatum against the country's leadership expires later on saturday earlier this week the cairo based body suspended the syria suspended syria rather and promised tougher action if president bashar assad fails to end the violence pressure on the

11:11 am
the elections at the moment the socialist parties which is which has been held in spain right now and the popular party however over the past couple of days that we have been observing especially here in the. two does not look like any party will actually be with a majority vote people seem to have become disillusioned with any of the choices they read on their political table as a matter of fact the socialists have been in power for the last several years and they have been the people who are essentially being blamed for not noticing the economic downturn for not reacting to the crisis properly and plunging spain in the turmoil now just a reminder the country has one of the highest employment rates in europe it's more than twenty four percent it has the highest unemployment rate among young people according to one of the standard spanish research companies in september alone four thousand people have been losing their jobs in spain every single day more than
11:12 am
five million people in the country do not have a provider for their homes and unfortunately for spain a lot of people believe the situation will get worse before it will get better. how does the nation try and preserve their endangered banking sector. see herbut focus on how some banks are using their newfound immunity to. cheat the full report coming your way next dad but he's a quick look. they blame themselves that's fantastic about having customers when i was working on wall street you lose a money and they blame themselves it's fantastic you just keep still no money and they're keep crying about. 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 a knock on the head and thrown into prison that's what happens when you close the crap from the system whether it's in greece ireland america the u.k.
11:13 am
this is their methodology. here general assembly's adopted a resolution condemning a rant over the alleged conspiracy to kill the saudi ambassador to washington and around calls and substantiated this comes as the u.n. nuclear watchdog called on iran to answer outstanding questions about its atomic program the us has also promised to reduce unilateral sanctions on the middle east states all industry diplomatic pressure on iran's coming amid reports that israel is considering a military strike on two grounds for sivits he's said what all these matters with dr saeed mohammed randy from today on university dr thanks for being on the line with us could see you tonight a look at it oppression want to run is growing how is that being felt where you are . iranians. in any way or form have the capability to attack their country because an
11:14 am
iranian response would be very severe and they would. very bad for the global economy and especially if things are with. the economic situation and you know i. generally believe that these countries really don't want to. cause trouble with regard to further sanctions unilateral sanctions by the united that's really nothing new in the american to basically gone as far as they could in the past and they really haven't caused all that much damage they hope to the iranian people and to iran ordinary iranians. for example the i.m.f. if you look at the website the iranian economy has grown better than that of the united states or its european partners over the past few years so in general the iranians feel that the american strength is weakening and we even see that in the
11:15 am
letter. issued by. board it did not contain any of the major elements of the american. relative decline in american fortunes and american power power but also the political level. economic stability to economic pressure so. all is now there is in iran's court is iran going to be making the next moves. well the iran will continue with its peaceful nuclear program the iranians stated before that there is no evidence whatsoever for iran's program is anything but peaceful all this whole statement made by the new head of the relatively new head of guy is based upon very old evidence evidence that the previous head of the organization refused to. tell you and it's based upon
11:16 am
a laptop that the americans provided iranians said that i should give it ten dependent analysts the americans refused to give it showing that it is that it's a frog it's a forgery and with regards for example to the so-called plot on the saudi ambassador it is in the eyes of iranians so obviously ridiculous that the iranians feel that. any everyone in there who sees the case or who's heard about the case would know that it's not true americans bullied a lot of countries into in the general assembly in the saudis of course have their own financial ways of doing things but even the statement there was very much watered down and not directly. it doesn't mean you run for they know. where these lateral sanctions that the u.s. wants to impose to rounds all industry from monday obviously they think they will
11:17 am
have an effect on you would be imposing them what effect will they have on around. well the thing would have had an effect they would have imposed a long time ago they've imposed sanctions. on the iranian oil ministry for years now and the iranians continue to develop oil and gas fields they continue to develop a petro chemical petro chemical industry and i don't think there's going to be any change whatsoever basically what it is doing it is is that it is showing the american hand and how americans are really an able to do anything about iran yes briefly just what would the regular times as one of the question want to put to bed around but israel warning that in the tack on iran is more likely you worried about that. i haven't seen anyone in iran show any concern because the iranians know that any. by the israelis would. have severe consequences
11:18 am
israel is a very small country and the iranians have a very powerful. deterrent. reilley is also no good if they do initiate a conflict and they would of course be condemned. world public opinion and also it would devastating effect on the global economy and i think. israeli regime but it is interesting to see how israel is so violent and it is willing to threaten countries and media the western media and or western governments condemn it in any way or form one final thing is that the nonaligned movement which consists of one hundred twenty countries issued a statement fully supporting iran on the nuclear program but of course since i am not a democratic party they are not well represented on the board but they do consist of three for the country of the world dr thanks for making
11:19 am
a point could have you on the program tonight thank you. back to our top story the u.s. campaign against corporate greed has faced a nationwide police crackdown that we've seen one group in the country that knows better than most what it's like to be needed instead of course students many of whom are discovering that a costly degree is no guarantee of future employment either artie's miniport caught up with one of them. this image of twenty three year old stephanie 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 have tried at a local motel there's nothing i have made their own versions of my resume is just begging for any sort of work walking around playing starbucks mcdonald's or 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 a master's degree in geography and one hundred thirty five thousand dollars in student debt grey collects two hundred dollars in monthly food stamps and sells
11:20 am
textbooks on even make extra cash the struggling graduate lost both her parents by the age of twelve i am approximately two months behind on my rents i have no idea how to capture i lie awake at night when we freaking out about this i frightened of being evicted but no matter how much she loses she's obligated to keep paying back her five that loan to sallie mae america's largest private lender it 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 now and desperately looking for work and selling maymont payments they want me to pay about seven hundred dollars a month greg is one of millions of americans and haunted by student debt but very
11:21 am
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 protection. that would keep private lenders from pushing millions of americans into default it's going to be defaults after g thoughts after the fall and once you default that's that's a black mark on your credit report for life because two months cannot be discharged in bankruptcy there is legislations take the straightaway in two thousand and five that saw him a lot before spending millions on millions on lobbyist student debt in the u.s. is nearing one trillion dollars already of a point at least causing the nation's credit card debt and today a generation of americans find themselves in slieve to banks and armed with a diploma no longer guarantees
11:22 am
a job or enough artsy me. it's taking part of the occupied move to try to people from all walks of life in the states as we've been reporting on talk shows very hard for those who's in new york has been trying to find out what legacy it's likely to leave. has the occupy 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 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 get maybe people think it will make a big difference so i think we'll think about it for a while and then go back to the ball.
11:23 am
but i think that's one of the problems no one really knows what the reason 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 it wouldn't be swinging around wall street i'll be honest with each other and know 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 if you take. i don't think that we made in history down the road it's going to be there it's not significant base or feel like it think it always just everybody something they feel passionate about significant others it's not every revolution starts with someone just getting to sort of to say i don't care what happens to me i'm going to make a change or 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 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
11:24 am
so because then i'll all feel better about it because the worse conditions they endure as we go along i think the more i'll feel supporting of it that they need to go through a little bit more and then has free will have a chance that moment remembering them two months protesters and doing it but you've got to stick it out whether or not you think the acapella wall street movement has achieved its goals the bottom line is it will be interesting to see if the protesting continues when the snow arrives. some other worldviews in brief the four day national assemblies but cools from the country's president hamid karzai for a long term security pact with the u.s. however the deal would come with conditions including an end to night raids on afghan civilians homes by foreign troops it's a major cause of friction between washington and carb all in the strategic agreement keeping foreign military forces in afghanistan after twenty fourteen and

he said the number of afghan civilians killed in the first half of this year rose fifteen percent soaring from over one thousand victims. to fifty two car pileup on a german also pounds killed three and injured many more the crash left dozens of cars in a tangled mess the weather was foggy at the time but it wasn't immediately clear what triggered that instant didn't grow. bored with the never. kashmir has been bitterly fought over for decades by india and pakistan and it's taking its toll on thousands of hindus who are being forced from their home and those who stay behind face continued persecution but it turned to stick it out and encourage the departed to return he's pretty streeter's got this story. on every corner in his neighborhood vicky gans you can see mosques women dressed in his jobs and men working at home while butcher shops it's part of the culture of srinagar kashmir ever since one nine hundred eighty nine when an alleged pakistan backed insurgency began in the area today ninety five percent of the people living in

11:27 am
down a steady job and has been living in a tiny unheated room with his mother and brother because of their tiny numbers in kashmir many pundits like him believe they will always be largely ignored by those in political power there is no reason that if the government comes up with any packages for us and there is some possibility otherwise even the remaining few families will sort of move out of kashmir i think i will leave. other pundits however are more optimistic. left the kashmir valley more than twenty years ago he's now back and is looking forward to a chance to reconnect to his past. john's. to fight back because this is my right nobody can deny that whether he's a from majority minority i do want to dismiss and this to me while sas acknowledges the struggle his people have enjoyed he has faith eventual in more pundits will decide to return we expect not to do basically this is
11:28 am
