5:02 pm
deadline as you say by the arab league on the syrian regime to hold the violence has now come and gone it was said for twenty two hundred g.m.t. and it comes against the backdrop of increasing violence as we see equal numbers of protesters both for and against assad on the streets of syria now the arab league ultimatum stated that the damascus regime was to accept a peace plan proposal on the table according to their proposal the regime needed to withdraw its military troops out of areas where there has been and continues to be violence and also accept the deployment of hundreds of observers who would be staged by the arab league to syria to assess the situation on the ground now we have heard from the arab league they did say that on thursday they received a response from damascus that according to the response they were prepared in principle to accept this proposal but they did have some questions regarding the legal status and the function of these observateur we haven't since then had any
5:03 pm
word from either damascus or the arab league so soupy now as that deadline passes and with no answer from the arab league it is still not clear whether or not they prepared to meet the changes that the syrian regime is asking for and if indeed they don't meet the changes they will need to keep true to their word and that was the threat of sanctions now in the last few days and certainly throughout most of this week we have seen pressure mounting internationally on the syrian regime and the united kingdom has started formal talks with the syrian opposition. has said that the damascus regime is no longer the legitimate regime it says it has passed in essence its sell by date now this is raising concerns internationally amongst critics who say that all of this is a throwback to what we saw happening in libya and it sets the stage for some kind of international intervention that could ultimately result in some kind of military operation. what else is on the table with the syrian government.
5:04 pm
well we have seen russia come to the party of course its position is largely supported by the chinese and what moscow is saying essentially is that there needs to be a neutralization of both sides they are calling on both sides to lay down arms and in particular the opposition because they too of course have arms which is widely ignored by the international community many people in the syrian opposition in fact defected from the syrian army so moscow saying that the situation is very complicated they need to be balanced they need to be restrained and there also needs to be caution there is of course the concern that there could be some kind of military intervention here moscow saying that this is an over reaction from the foreign community that the international community is essentially dramatizing the situation and again the whole question of a military intervention which has not as of yet actually been offered on the table but certainly it is starting to be discussed in certain circles is again raising
5:05 pm

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 to firm and for the unemployed for example right now i'm desperately looking for work in selling maine wants payments they want me to pay about seven hundred dollars a month greg is one of millions of americans saddled and haunted by student debt but very few have any other option tuition 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 will keep private lenders from pushing millions of americans into default claims false after defaults after the fault and once you default that's a black mark on your credit report for life because two months cannot be discharged

in bankruptcy there is legislations take the straight away two thousand and five salim a lot before millions for millions on lobbyist student debt in the u.s. is nearing one trillion dollars already one of the some see the nation's credit card debt and today a generation of americans find themselves in sleeves of banks and armed with a diploma that no longer guarantees a job or enough or not are to me. and our online talk show host laurie hoffman is in new york has been trying to find out what her legacy the on the wall street movement is like an attorney. i get the 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 . brought some attention to the issues that nobody really wants to talk about so. if it becomes part of the conversation. there's still
5:20 pm
a lot of work to do i'm hopeful that they'll continue with their efforts and they will get maybe people think i won't make a big difference so i think we'll think about it for a while then go back to the ball. park. 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. i think if they were that organized jobs would be laying around wall street i'll be honest with you i don't know what the message is so clearly they haven't communicated bat well not at all so how is that going to go down in history. i don't think that we've made in history and the wrong thing is going to be there it's not significant they should feel like it's significant it always just everybody something they feel passionate about significant but so well there's it's not every revolution starts with someone just getting to say i don't care what happens to me i'm going to make
5:21 pm
a change and then hopefully other people add on to that so what's the next step how do they add. 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. i'll feel better about it because the worst conditions they endure as we go along i think the moral feel. that they need to go through a little bit more and then history will have a chance at my remembering them two months protesters and doing it but you got to stick it out whether or not you think street movement has achieved its goals the bottom line is it will be interesting to see if the protesting continues once the snow arrives. and other news from around the world now they are going forward a national assembly are some calls from the country's president hamid karzai for
