a sit down protest were pepper sprayed and the guardian newspaper is reporting on a newly released video showing police believe beating an iraq war veteran and the man suffered a ruptured spleen but as artie's associates were going to reports the crackdown really seems to be hardening the resolve of protesters. human tsunami of tens of thousands of people flooded the streets of new york. hundreds arrested dozens beaten dragged and abused by police thousands more protests across the u.s. on thursday the feast of america's civil war against corporate greed and wealth inequality you could be part of the place where occupy wall street was born looks nothing like it did just a couple of days ago officials were hoping that a big thing the protestors would put an end to the movement but this has backfired a day of action brought more people out onto the streets with more bigger than ever

before it's absolutely a story we haven't seen something like this in america thirty forty years and its history of eating itself the pleasure in america where you can see it we're going to have two months of decision making two months after all keep by wall street kickstarted in the big apple new york authorities decided to keep protesters out of their care when burger exposed themselves as the clueless out of touch third world and pot dictator that he would like to be this forceful eviction only added more fuel to the fire the way that we were sort of discarded like trash there are civil liberties words. really run over by our billionaire mayor has galvanized a lot of people another more powerful stage of occupy wall street out of being campaigned and all over the city said we are absolutely at stage two i think what happened was we showed the world that we are strong we are numbers more worrying about what's going on and we want we want solutions protester see the lack of a campaign the presence of police violence and the fact that officials remain deaf

to demands only empower them more though it is. their desire to stick by each other is now stronger than before a big. thank you for. a new joint for the occupy wall street movement has broken on the horizon mr. joshua holland an editor and senior writer of the online magazine alter net says there are signs that the movement is evolving from a protester full blown revolution days to the many many people that i've interviewed but were part of that i would say that there is an extremely strong sense a result of you know we almost missed the point when we call it approaches a lot of the people who i've interviewed see themselves as part of a nonviolent revolution and to really deeply entrenched status quo

so you know revolutionary whether we like them or not are people who are pretty dedicated to their cause i don't see this going away anytime soon. you know while the cradle avi arab spring a jet that inspired protesters all around the globe is once again seen brutal clashes police used tear gas and rubber bullets against dozens of thousands of demonstrators who returned to toughen your square in cairo one person's been killed and around seven hundred injured during two days of clashes protests have been raging all across the country with demands for the withdrawal of a constitutional draft at the clear is the military the guardian of constitutional committee critics say it will mean a return to the same problems as under hosni mubarak's ousted regime u.s. based radio host stephen leatherman says the new military rule will ruin the results of the winter uprising. things are worse now in the military rather than

they ever were under mubarak people are a very on top of the repression those social issues have gone completely unaddressed the repression is been extremely severe thousands of being arrested imprisoned tortured put into trials a military trained bugles no justice was going on in egypt apparently it is they'll be complimentary away chips the end of november and the looks like the military appointed will because all the presidential election when until sometime in two thousand and thirteen in here i'm it will maintain the supreme power it will pick the prime minister it will have veto power but the whole it goes out in parliament . we're watching our king live from moscow still to come this hour down one of the old spain will stamp a new future of voting bulls today staring in poverty tax people's patience to the

limit. after a decade of preoccupation in the middle east the u.s. now wants to profit off its military influence in that asia pacific region vowing to whatever division to israeli. meanwhile across the european union the young going death crisis has sparked and if you will in the blocks political landscape. if you're crabs are obvious and as democracy gives way to desperate struggle for economic survival in italy power has gone to e.u. veteran mar you want after his nomination as a senator for life to replace incumbent silvio berlusconi wasting will time he unveiled his new strategy very day he took office more siri more cuts more tax hikes but markets are far from convinced with debt interest rates across the e.u. reaching catastrophic levels this week as artists are first reports it's often buying great far or of unification jammed up of blocks prime financial powerhouse

and declared leader. it was never going to be easy to put europe seventeen countries of which you know on the one currency attracted fierce criticism we this is the beginning of a dishonest and downright dangerous journey president. to revive the constitution but to do it in such a way that you would have the boycott referendum to keep the states so might now be wishing they'd heeded the warnings for the thrill of the days begin to wobble and leave the latest country to come under scrutiny we have been witnessing in the us at least one of our. growing pressure from europe and i'm talking in particular from france. and germany army the u.k. certainly a european parliament and the commission is going to start a crisis to say first the leaders of. good places like people who would never let.

you know their way around brussels and here in italy with berlusconi now gone doesn't and painful reforms now need to be implemented. for the first time since the police have now begun to turn to the possibility of exits from . the creation of the cool euro countries like germany seem to be leading the way but i think it's not in the best interest of the germans to keep on going with this arctic you know you you have behaved badly we're going to punish that's not a union in united states of america you. probably imagine taxes behaving badly or you think obama is going to get you out of united states of america no they're not going to be. bad year. he's not going to buy struggling countries it's clear that there is he way to spend less now facebook page for those he measure is being treated like

a naughty school child may be added to the growing strain community if it's only now. so to say there will expose much more france and especially germany to the times there be must be up to us to say to to express our political leadership not just to bear on countries before your of us or your attentions have not caught on this by the financial markets here on this political leaders the cooking their feet in dealing with the crisis the struggling economies like italy and now cool even the breathing rate for the state it's least being considered by many the test case for the entire year if it fails and it could take down the entire fifth the big question now is whether or not those measures can fix the weather will see them going the same way as previous measures put forward by european leaders. failed to come up with a convincing he served r.t. . well of markets counting down one european economy after another it's well

understood across a blog that the fuse is burning and time is a critical supply and one opinions is that there are two mary opposing interests in brussels preventing a credible solution being implemented and the economies of the eurozone are failing their growth is non-existent in many cases big economies are going backwards they're in a debt spiral and their lack of economic growth is not helping at the core of their problems is the eurozone problems caused by the single carbon c and there's serious economic difficulties which are just not being cured whilst these countries remain within the e.u. single currency the euro the of the answer to their problems really is to cut loose the countries that are struggling economically because of the euro problems being one of them especially but the main focus is of course italy and greece and then those countries can start to grow again and then we can have economic growth back

in europe we can have hope for you absolutisms and jobs can be created and the debt can then be dealt with the european union with so many different vested interests isn't acting nearly as fast enough and the solutions are they coming up with or actually in the interest of the citizens because the institutions of the you and accountable to the citizens of those countries. in spain voters are today having to the polls to voice their rage against an epidemic of unemployment and poverty rate in the country polls show the ruling socialist faction is set to give way to the popular party which is riding a wave of public discontent over uncompromising a staring our correspondent in english girl has more from madrid. polls are still open just a few hours all across spain. go to vote in the general elections which were called for months in advance because of the extremely difficult financial situation in spain just to give you an idea at this point in time about five million years out

of work one million households in the country do not have a very very coarse a lot of people are blaming the current socialist governments and the socialist party is expected to lose with the people's party coming ahead people spain are starting to lose hope in the choices that they have on the political arena a lot of them are saying that no matter what they do no matter who is going to come ahead in these elections they will not be able to get the country out of financial and as a matter of fact political turmoil and certainly the younger people are starting to move to other countries they're going to latin america a lot of people are going to european countries so these elections will probably not bring forth any palpable results and a lot of a lot of analysts that we have spoken to are saying that in order to make things better for the country wherever is going to come to power will have to implement a lot of very unpopular decisions they will have to implement very strict measures

and that will result in people's financial situation getting a lot worse before it gets better. reporting there and coming out a bit later here in our team iran on the frying pan am ron is pressure of from all sides with the i.a.e.a. wanting questions over its alleged nuclear pursuit cleared and the rest threatening to unleash the israel if islam doesn't stop doesn't drop rather as long as we're probably doesn't drop the program that. the foundations laid for the creation of a new economic block in the range of bearing similarities with the european union but to avoid the states. syria's president asad has said his regime down now will continue its resistance to foreign pressure the country is facing sanctions from the arab league after of the bodies ultimatum for the regime to and bloodshed expired on saturday however a syrian human rights activist just violence continued into the weekend with

a round doesn't kill the plan while the country's opposition leaders are heading to london were they will hold talks with the british foreign secretary the u.k. was reportedly approached by jordan to spearhead a diplomatic campaign against artie's out of band looks into the allegations. after its pivotal role in the overthrow moammar gadhafi britains 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 to russia peace it's an overreaction that could pave the way for military intervention with look good we suggested in order to program position to be in place all countries concerned with a peaceful outcome of development and serious should demand not only from the syrian authorities but also from the opposition at least their violence the ongoing attacks on government buildings in syria looks 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 it much easier to support and adds more weight to any international threats . from powers for regime change is clearly very very wrong and we should learn the lessons of thousands and thousands. of the no. nato bombing or any other intervention and other military intervention will have even more serious consequences because of the regional threat the whole question of iraq the whole question of 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 and sad to quit but the patience of ceres other neighbors and crucial regional

brokers is now wearing thin to the arab league suspended series membership in the free syrian army has been the main driving force behind the growing opposition movement most to defectors from the army launching their latest attack on a security base russia and china are still appealing for. dialogue is the way to in they call two way violence 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 after bennett r t russia refused to back calls for president asad to step down after hosting serious opposition council in moscow earlier this week during a meeting with foreign minister sergey lavrov said dialogue wasn't possible without sufficient pressure on the syrian regime this has a private mask to reverse its stance that both sides should be engaged peace

negotiations on line journalist political changes in syria should be made from was it the country. should be for the syrian people to. really get engaged in their struggle so if. they so choose and anything any external intervention the un observers or anyone else who starts meddling in syria is also really going to make the situation worse it's going to take away from the struggle i think it must be really for it to be a true democratic struggle which is for the syrian people to try on right up and over through you know the government should they want to do a lot of western powers are saying that they won't see you know western powers typically want to speak on behalf of the syrian people and think they're in a far better position than the syrian people themselves to do so actually fundamentally it can be a long protracted struggle when you have a western another how it's intervening also can really get in the way of trying to move the ship for

a true position forming in these countries we think that in libya now to be what you've got are the you know the lackeys of the west in charge who don't really have democratic legitimacy but it's the fords through a struggle to get rid of these. pressure kept piling on iran this week over the country's nuclear program the international atomic watchdog has called on to iran to clear up all the outstanding questions on the matter the u.s. has promised to introduce new sanctions against the country's oil industry washington also reportedly told to iran to rip off its nuclear program by spring two thousand and twelve or it will stop holding back israel's long planned attack on the islamic republic talk of such a strike has been heard from israel for the past two weeks following the i.a.e.a. as reported it failed to disprove iran's drive for nuclear weapons or he said he said now we took a closer look at the case and found some stark reminder is that another country whose alleged weapon stocks were played up as a pretext for attack. iran has long been

a hot topic. but anyway the greatest threat that america in the world faces at faced was a nuclear iran but it's heated up since last week's report from the un's nuclear watchdog sparking fears iran was pursuing atomic weapons the i.a.e.a. says iran developed a high explosives initiation system a detonator with the help of a foreign expert question that aren't actually heard is called a new series science or was it a russian by some western nobody even though the i.a.e.a. report doesn't name him and he's not russian by ukrainian many years now former weapons inspector david albright talks not for the scientists nuclear conventional play on c.n.n. what he showed him how to build a thin hemispherical shell with holes in it and they were the detonation happens and you simultaneously set off explosive pellets in a series of holes in that of

a move shell and those explosive pell pellets ignite the high explosive underneath and in a very spiritual way it compresses the core and then you get a nuclear explosion just on any land is a scientist but not the nuclear specialists those who actually know danny and can't say this. because he worked in a nuclear facility but not every person who does is a nucleus specialism he's actually trained to construct airplanes to you and it's not the i.a.e.a. that is questioning him now but journalists roddy and nevertheless all right accused is going to come who specialize in nano diamonds in iran working with the iranians to help them miniaturize their nuclear warhead so they can put it on top of one of their missiles so it can be fired or outright history out of pointing fingers just as for iraq was invaded he said this in two thousand and two. in terms of the chemical and biological weapons iraq has those now how many how

could they deliver them i mean these are big questions then backtrack to the l a times once known to be u.n. d's were discovered in iraq. if there are no weapons of mass destruction i'll be mad as hell i certainly accepted the administration's claims on chemical and biological weapons i figured they were telling the truth and some u.s. politicians think non-truths could be repeating the wrong i'm afraid what's going on right now is similar to the war propaganda that went on again still around you know that they didn't have the weapons of mass destruction but there were enough official reports implying otherwise in terms of the report there is limited information a lot of the reason it's limited is because it's most likely that iran does not know it is you know it is the case in iran does not have a nuclear weapons program diplomatic days are who could be called critics say the

public especially in the us are about to be inundated with another flood of so-called expert analysis the where of a dangerous mideast country that's presumably hiding secret nuclear weapons and may require a military strike the difference this time it's the wrong not iraq and he's now artsy. always more on our website our team here is what's lined up for you there right now that is most prominent sons finally in the hands of libya's new rulers but questions were made on whether he'll make a life to the hague or share the fate of his late father. and there is a huge sigh of relief in this case community as a three man crew is successfully dogs with the international space station it's the first manned space mission to fly after a rocket fly crashed in odds. russia

along with some of its partners has moved closer to creating a new konami body the eurasian economic union is expected to be set up by twenty fifteen modeled on the best of the european union are to support us and off reports on the a vicious plan. three nations twenty million square kilometers of learnt one giant idea. is right that we won't repeat the mistakes of the european union in our integration we're conscious of what we're doing right and i just stand here we are integrating with one there are three countries sharing a common history and today we are forming a common economy. starting from january first next year's seventeen agreements aimed at creating a unified economic speech will come into force the eurasian union will be based on

the already existing customs union between the three nations which are among the largest economies in the area within its framework in just six months russia is in kazakhstan managed to increase their total trade turnover by over forty percent. would please in case of a crisis in this configuration it's much easier and even more appropriate not only to overcome any negative consequences but risks into possibilities of. its plans that way twenty fifteen the union will not only have one borderline an economic zone but we switch to one currency as well stan and stan are aspiring to join ukraine is sitting i would team which will be becoming a member of. this sort of cooperation means more jobs bigger salaries and a chance to boost reforms and modernize our country that's why most ukrainian support the idea they want stability your form some groups have dismissed the union

as an attempt to restore the u.s.s.r. but experts say the difference is clear if the stuff this union is different from the u.s.s.r. the u.s.s.r. was built on ideology while the eurasian union will be based strictly on the economy and pragmatism but the experts say that even some latin american nations like you work in venezuela me join the so-called you tube in the future while new zealand has already shown interest in joining as a large producer of need with no custom charges the benefits of being a member are simply too attractive. surely it's way too early to talk about anything like an industrial bridge which right all the way from europe into the pacific ocean so far only three states are throwing their hats in but if the current momentum is anything to go by more are certain to follow it got pissed off moscow. washington has vowed to ramp up its military presence in australia by

stationing twenty five hundred marine troops in dorman and the plans were announced this week by u.s. president barack obama during his trip to the country this is widely viewed as washington's attempt to counter the rapid rise of chinese influence in the region regina responded swiftly claiming an expanded american military footprint in australia would destabilize the pacific alice liar and i war activist of the nuclear age peace foundation believes the u.s. is an ongoing arms race with itself while ignoring international calls for militarization. tossing a great big pay to the us military industrial complex because we were originally in an arms race with ourselves russia and china were asking the us to negotiate a treaty to prevent the weaponization of space and every country in the world voted for it at the u.n. over the last few years except the united states child may has even asked us to

eliminate nuclear weapons of course china is going to feel threatened and they're going to build up. our lack of willingness to move forward and it's being so in america like we have to be fearful of china but most americans don't know that china has been making all these peaceful goes towards. you know trying to slow down the arms race. well support is coming your way including the plans of the legendary makes martial arts fighter better than a gun go ahead of his upcoming fight but first i'll be back with a recap of our top stories don't go away.
