university of california a group of students staging a sit down protest were pepper sprayed and the guardian newspaper is reporting on a merely released video showing police were brutally beating iraq war veteran in oakland a man suffered a ruptured spleen but as art is an associate you're going to report the crackdown only 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 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 we call the park 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 protesters 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 for thirty forty years and its history of eating itself the pleasure to make of it where you can see the last few months of its history making two months after occupy wall street kick started in the big apple new york authorities decided to kick protesters out of their camp bloomberg expose themselves as the clueless out of the third world dictator that he would be this forceful addiction only added more fuel to the fire a way that we were sort of discarded like trash that our civil liberties were really run over by our billionaire mayor has galvanized a lot of people another more powerful speech of occupy wall street out of being campaigned and over the city said we are absolutely at stage here i think what happened yesterday was we showed the world that we are strong we are numbers i'm or we're angry about what's going on and we want we want solutions protester see the

lack of a camera the presence of police violence and the fact that officials remain deaf to demands only empower them more they don't store the song. which is going to. happen late and they will question their desire to stick by each other is mel stronger than before listen i love you thank you for being our. a new dawn for the occupy wall street movement as a group on the horizon mr hugh churkin or. abby martin the founder of citizen journalism project media roots told r.t. the occupy protests are nearly as much trouble for the u.s. as the big banks are. and if you look at the amount it's cost the broken city of oakland for this heavy handed police response to half a million dollars for the latest raid and you're asking who what what the city is

costing so much banks were exempt seven million dollars from taxes just last year so banks are actually costing the city more money than the occupy wall street protests happening here disobedience is really the only way to go you see this police state forced on us now and people are waking up to the fact that our police is now militarized and these absurd methods of crowd control tear gas in thousands of people if one person throws a bottle or what not i think it. really caused some anger for people who are trying to get to work but overall i think it's a great response because we're not going to take it anymore and we're not just going to step back if the cops take us out as a comic artist because that is downtown oakland we're just going to reconvene and show up stronger. as were the latest occupy action is unfolding in oakland and she's sharing her impressions on her twitter feed well in her latest tweets she's reporting that more than five hundred people are gathering in an empty area alone by the city and bringing tans despite the police prohibition they expect officers

old spain looks to stamp a new future at voting booths today as a stereo poverty tax people's patience to the limit. meanwhile across the european union the ongoing debt crisis has sparked an op evil end of woks political landscape from greece to italy an elected your kratz are on the sanded as democracy gives way to a desperate struggle for economic survival and italy power is gone to e.u. veteran mario monti after his nomination as a senator for life to replace incumbent silvio berlusconi wasting little time he unveiled his new strategy the very day he had to go off his war sterry more cuts and more tax hikes but markets are far from convinced was debt interest rates across the e.u. reaching catastrophic levels this week and as our g. sara first reports it's all providing great fodder for the unification of the blocs

drive financial powerhouse and i'm declared leader. it was never going to be easy to put you know you're at seventeen countries of which you know on the one currency attracted fierce criticism 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 want to avoid referendums in key member states some might now be wishing they heeded the warnings to one after another the member states begin to wobble at least the latest country to come under scrutiny we have been witnessing in the last long. growing pressure from europe and i'm talking in particular from france and germany hardly the u.k. certainly the european parliament and the commission is going to start the crisis is say first the leaders who quit and italy were placed by people who were never

elected to office he made their way around brussels and here it is really with berlusconi now gone doesn't. paying for reforms now need to be implemented to meet tough egypt. for the first time since the crisis began talks have now begun to turn to the possibility of exit from. all 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 i think you know you're right you have behaved badly we're going to punish that's not a union in the united states of america a frustrated behaves badly imagine taxes behaving badly where you sleep obama's going to we're going to kick you out of united states of america no they're not going to pick willing sense a bad year we've had a good year record has not gone on missed by struggling countries lost it's clear that those who even spent less now face the painful stereotyping measures the sense

of being treated like a naughty school child then he added to the growing strain. community if it's only now it starts to be well so to say there will expose much more france and especially germany to the times there are big nasty up to say two to express a politically defeat not just for their own countries but for europe as a whole your attentions have not called on this by the. punish political leaders in the phaeton dealing with the crisis in struggling economies like italy and now cools off even the for the stakes it's least being considered by many to test case for the entire a 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 who say fails to come up with a convincing year investigate. the. well was markets pounding down

one european economy after another it's well understood across a block that the fuses burning and time isn't critical supply one opinion is that there are too many opposing interests in brussels preventing a credible solution being implemented. but the economies of the eurozone are failing their growth is non-existent in many cases their connelly's 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 city and there's serious economic difficulties which are just not being cured these countries remain within the e.u. single currency the euro the the answer to their problems really is to cut loose the countries that are struggling economically because of the euro being one of them especially 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 europe citizens and jobs can be created and 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 there coming up with actually in the interest of the citizens because the institutions of the u. and accountable to the citizens of those countries well in spain voters are heading to the polls today to voice their rage against an epidemic of unemployment and poverty gripping the country polls show the ruling socialist fashion is set to give way to the popular party which is riding a wave of public discontent over uncompromising a staring our correspondent has more from madrid. go to vote in the general elections which were cold four 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 of years out of work one and a half million households in the country does not have a wage earner of course

a lot of people are blaming the current socialist government in the socialist party is expected to lose with the popular people's party coming ahead people spain are starting to lose hope in the choices that they have only political arena a lot of them are saying that no matter what they do no matter who is going to come hid in these elections they will not be able to get the country out of that right now until it is 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 top level 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 whoever is going to come to power will have to implement a lot of very unpopular decisions they will have to implement very stripped measures and that will result in people's financial situation getting

a lot worse before it gets better. every english word pouring there more is coming out as our russia shapes its answer to the e.u. the foundation's light for creation of a new economic blockade eurasia bearing similarities with the european union box set to avoid its mistakes. and after a decade of preoccupation in the middle east the u.s. now wants to draw to prop up its military influence and the asia pacific region vowing to deploy arena vision to use trail you. at least two rocket propelled grenades have hit a headquarters of syria's governing authority in the capital damascus. witnesses say the attack happened early in the morning when the building was mostly empty and comes after syria's president vowed not to bow down and continue his resistance to foreign fresher the country is facing sanctions from the arab league after

a vice ultimatum for the regime to and watch expired on saturday syrian human rights activists playing around two dozen people have been killed in clashes over the weekend meanwhile the country's opposition leaders are heading to britain that was reportedly approached to spearhead a diplomatic campaign against our desire bad los into the allegations. after its pivotal role in the overthrow of moammar gadhafi prisons become the new go to guy when there's trouble in the middle east prime minister david cameron's been handpicked as 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 but russian fees it's an overreaction that could pave the way for military intervention. we suggested of the american mission to be in place all countries concerned with a peaceful outcome of developments in syria should 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 the desire of the western powers for regime change is clearly very very strong and we could learn the lessons of thousands and thousands. of the night. of nato bombing or any other incidents and then another minute. it 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 to quit but the patience of series of other neighbors and crucial regional brokers is now wearing thin to the arab league suspended series membership and 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 is the way to end what 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 are bennett r t russia refused to back calls for president asad to step down after hosting syria's opposition council in moscow earlier this week during their meeting with foreign minister sergei lavrov he said dialogue wasn't possible without sufficient pressure on the syrian regime i fail to prognosticate to reverse its stance both sides

should be gauged in peace negotiations american political cartoonist and after its had believes the syrian opposition might well be instructed from abroad. obviously the armed opposition groups are not are disparate they don't they're not they don't follow a unified leadership and anyway the demand is clearly not upon them when when nato got involved in libya they certainly weren't telling the rebels not to engage in violence against the gadhafi regime so clearly it's obvious which side is being picked here this is not a peacekeeping effort this is an effort to push bashar assad out of power they'd like to use the force of words and the force of president what happened to khadafi and to saddam hussein but if that doesn't work who knows how far they'll go. pressure kept piling on iran this week over the country's nuclear program the

international atomic watchdog is called in tehran to clear up all the outstanding questions on the matter and u.s. has promised to introduce new sanctions against the country's oil industry washington also reportedly told iran to wrap up its unclear nuclear program by spring two thousand and twelve or it will stop holding back israel's a long planned attack on the islamic republic top of such a strike has been heard from israel for the past two weeks following the i.a.e.a. report that failed to disprove iran's drive for nuclear weapons are these reason our way to get closer a look at the case and found some stark reminder of another country whose alleged weapons stocks were played up as a pretext for attack. iran has long been a hot topic. but. the greatest

threat that america in the world faces at faced was a nuclear iran but it's heated up since last week some poor 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 experts question that current expert is called it the new history science or is the general russian by some western media it even though the i.a.e.a. report doesn't mean hitler's and he's not russian but ukrainian many years now former weapons inspector david albright talks suffered sciences nuclear credential on c.n.n. with weapons showed him how to build of 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 one of 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 it's just not going to land is a scientist but not a nuclear specialist those who actually know dining out that say this. because he worked in a nuclear facility but not every person who does is in a clear specialist he's actually trained to construct the airplanes to you and it's not the i.a.e.a. that is questioning him now but journalists iranians 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 their own right has a history of pointing fingers just before iraq was invaded he said 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 no w m 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 with iran i'm afraid what's going on right now is similar to the war propaganda that went on against iraq and you know they didn't have. weapons of mass destruction but there were enough official reports implying otherwise in terms of the report there is limited information while the reason it's limited is because it's most likely that iran does not it is you know it is the case of iran does not have a nuclear weapons program. diplomatic days of 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 iran not iraq and he's now artsy moscow. russia along with some of its posada partners has moved closer to creating a new konami body the eurasian economic union is expected to be set up by fifteen modeled on the best of the european union artistic orifice can offer a poor it's on the ambitious plan. three nations twenty million square kilometers of the land one giant idea. is good at picking we won't repeat the mistakes of the european union in our integration we're conscious or what we're doing that i understand who we are integrating with what they are three countries sharing a common history and today we're forming a common economy. starting from january first next year's seventeen agreements aimed at creating a unified economic space 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 polls will be an area with its train more in just six months russia will lose in kurdistan managed to increase their total trade journal or by over forty percent. in case of a crisis in this configuration it's much easier and even more appropriate not only to overcome any negative consequences that turn risks into possibilities. its plans that way twenty fifteen the union will not only have one border line an economic zone but we switch to one currency as well to use than and are aspiring to join ukraine is selling i would which will be becoming a member. of this sort of co-operation means more jobs bigger salaries and the chance to boost reforms and modernize our country and that's why most ukrainian support the idea that they want stability in form some critics 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 economy and pragmatism but experts say that even some latin american nations like cuba and venezuela need join the so-called u two and the future while new zealand has already shown interest in joining as a large producer of need with no cost from charges the benefits of being a member are simply too attractive to ignore surely it's way too early to talk about any of it like an industrial bridge which would stretch all the way from europe into the pacific ocean so far only three states have thrown their hats in but if the current momentum is anything to go by and more are certain to follow it got us going off our to moscow. washington has vowed to ramp up its military

presence in australia by stationing twenty five hundred marine troops in darwin of 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 rabid rise of chinese influence in the region responded swiftly claiming an expanded american military footprint in australia would destabilize the pacific for alice slater 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 it to militarization tossing them grapes or paid to the us military industrial complex the pres 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 un over the last few years except the united states chimey has even asked us to eliminate nuclear weapons of course chinese women were 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 careful of china but most americans don't know that china has been making more of these peaceful goes towards. you know trying to slow down the observation. an exciting development for a russian schoolgirl fans is heading your way in our sports vault and just over fifteen minutes time but with news the soccer sorcerer might be on his way back to the country because heating who led the russian national team to euro cup bronze isn't ruling out taking over the helm of dunn who stands big spending on a gene that has already entice top star sammy the top and robert carlos roberto carlos. of. details on that because coming up in our sports book dates in about fifteen minutes time for now though stay with us for they have lines after

a short break. roger clinton goes. one. more than sixty square kilometers or move on the stage and those who are still soon.
