7:00 am
the headlines on our t.v. almost a thousand injured in fierce clashes on cairo's tahrir square as the cradle of the egyptian revolution becomes the sensor thing new protests against military rule. and other stories that shaped this week's clouds darken over the syrian government as a deadline set by the arab league to end violence expires president assad is defined in the face of growing international pressure. two months of protests in america a march with the thousands strong marches all over the country as hundreds of arrests and heavy handed police response and witnessed. plus the greeks and
7:01 am
italians give an unfriendly welcome to new unelected leaders it's all about fears the troubled states a losing sovereignty because of harsh economic measures dictated by brussels. but the week's top headlines this is the week for me with the rory sync show egypt's tahrir square is once again the scene of brutal clashes with police using tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse tens of thousands of protesters with a show of anger at a lack of reform comes before crucial elections could carry the potential to paralyze the country once again. is on her way to cairo joins us live now with the latest up paula thanks for coming on the program i do tell us more about what's going on oh why have people not returned to the infamous square. well this is the second straight day that there has been these are violent clashes in downtown cairo
7:02 am
according to the police there some five thousand demonstrators but we're hearing reports that tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets and thousands of people have been injured the official figure is that yesterday two people were killed there were several thousand people injured yesterday really the focal point being taqiyya square once again this was the scene of where we saw an eighteen day revolution earlier a year lead to the ouster of the former egyptian president hosni mubarak now people are incredibly angry what protesters want is that the military government that has been in power since february give way to and elected government that represents the will and the desire of the people and what many people are saying is that the military wants to stay in power and in this way they are not not that much different from egypt's and president hosni mubarak so those demands reaching a boiling point people incredibly angry as i say and all of this coming just eight days before the thirst parliamentary elections to be held in the post mubarak
7:03 am
period what else is significant is that the leading voice behind these demonstrations is the muslim brotherhood which is regarded as a terrorist organization in several countries and this has caused many people many of the service to say that we could be on the brink of a second revolution let's take a listen. if they repress this syrian style this is going to get out of specially against the muslim brotherhood and if we see let's see a large group of what's going to lead to read a square with all the factions of the muslim brotherhood. to google generation everybody in this square against military dictatorship there is see which is something that could happen within the next few few weeks let's put it this way then we're going to have to use square to. what most people are saying is that mubarak might be gone but what we witnessed in happening in egypt is
7:04 am
far from what the people hoped for we witnessed in sectarian violence there are more classes and there are important social grievances that are not being addressed right our policy or their life in tel aviv thanks. nowadays to rocket propelled grenades at the headquarters of syria's governing party in damascus at this point i we have reports nobody was injured it comes as a diplomatic storm surrounds the country and an arab league ultimatum demanding an end to violence expiring on saturday but syrian president bashar al assad pledged not to bow down before foreign pressure that circulated of marti's test live in brussels good to see you some might say looks like a noose is tightening around the syrian leadership i was the latest that you know where you are. oh yeah the new certainly is tightening but president bashar al assad of syria seems to be steady firm on maintaining his position and its latest interview that he is given he said syria and his government will not back down and
7:05 am
that is of course despite the increasing pressure coming from members of which national community and also after that the really ultimatum given by the arab league for the bloodshed to end basically asking the government of your responsiblity for ending all the attacks happening in the country now also this is in addition to listen membership having been suspended from the arab league and it leaves us reports coming in today that the arab league has rejected a serious proposal of changes to the peace plan and allowing it international observers essentially creating an impasse between the league and syria itself and again if there are attacks a new attacks reported in the city of damascus apparently are no government buildings and speaking of the opposition and they are increasingly militarized the head of the a free syrian army composed of effectors and he had even called on hatcheries soup i was sending his forces weapon x. and this of course this development of course worries that russia with the foreign minister sergei lavrov say that if pressure is to piled on syria it shouldn't just
7:06 am
be against the government itself but also the opposition especially since they are increasingly arms. we suggested in order to put the arab initiative in place all countries concerned with a peaceful outcome of developments from syria he demanded not only from the syrian authorities but also from the opposition at least find which the ongoing attacks on government buildings in syria look like a civil who needs. a pair of course crisis started eight months ago there's already been diplomatic pressure it's against syria but it is increasingly getting harsher and now it's not just little words it seems that those who are putting that pressure on syria are using creasing we organize this well in the most recent being the jordanian king of the last bridge into to spearhead this campaign against syria . reportedly are being formed it to discuss the syrian crisis and also recent reports the latest reports rather is that there's already been a diplomat or u.k.
7:07 am
diplomat having been appointed to the ace directly with the opposition this worry in countries like russia and china because it seems to be following that path that be a good intervention i take it before it actually libyan intervention also we have that jordan and turkey having said that they are considering buffer zones inside syria for the civilians and rebels who are fighting against the regime inside syria it sounds it seems to be a technical intervention if shit is this ever goes ahead and again this worries those who are still calling for a peaceful solution we also know that earlier this week the foreign minister of france allegedly while meeting mr counterpart in turkey had said this is clear the man was late to implement reforms and that stronger sanctions that should be imposed on it syria one thing that i also have to add is that germany you can't france have been pushing for a resolution we know that if it ever goes through the u.s. security council it will certainly be divided china have russia having use its veto
7:08 am
already on this so it's been reported that the proposal that people can afford lewdly discussed at the human rights committee of the general said we are are there . so you don't know where this service will go through if this ship is put forward or half how much so how much clout it will happen since it will be teaching in syria to get international pressure the new state makes certainly was syria but countries like russia and china are still hoping for a consult while. they're certainly interesting how you bring you the latest news regarding the u.n. having a possible vote there and you mentioned the britain was approached as well to at least some sort of intervention as you were saying earlier as many analysts in the world to a drawing to correlations between the libya intervention and a situation in syria that just keeps on going from bad to worse things to us really a lot of problems thanks for what i mean time american political cartoonist and author ted rall says the diplomatic pressure isn't aimed at the opposition and that the endgame in syria is ultimately regime change. obviously the armed opposition
7:09 am
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 the nato got involved in libya they certainly weren't telling the rebels not to engage in while it's 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 out of power they'd like to use the force of words and the force of precedent what happened to khadafi and to saddam hussein but if that doesn't work who knows how far they'll go. now hundreds across libya have poured into the streets celebrating the arrest of the late leader moammar gadhafi is the most prominent son of crowds of fired guns and blasted car horns to mark his capture saif gadhafi was seized along with two of his aides while attempting to flee to neighboring nigeria live in north or he's want him tried in the country on charges that potentially carry the death penalty however despite the
7:10 am
national transitional council promising a fair trial critics doubt this is a likely outcome. well paperweights saif al islam gadhafi we are asking your opinion on our web site right now at r.t. dot com that's a look at the numbers now so far the majority think that he'll most likely get the death penalty in libya but a third of skeptical about saif gadhafi is captured in the first place believing he could still be at large for the rest of pretty much a split right here two opinions that is the one that will be tried at the i.c.c. or he'll be killed by vigilante's before there's any chance to send him to the hague going to iraq you've got communists of your photo. watching the weekly on r.t. now hundreds of arrests accusations of police brutality and dozens of injuries the occupy movement in the u.s. markets two month anniversary this week officers in riot. top down come some broke
7:11 am
up mostly peaceful demos against the unequal distribution of wealth in major american cities at the heart of the campaign in new york a crowd of activists took to the subway and tried to block off the stock exchange evidence has been emerging of disproportionate police action in response to the brownies also at the university of california here a group of students staging a sit down protest with pepper sprayed in the face and in an earlier incident as you can see here an officer was filmed beating an iraq war veteran so hard that he suffered a ruptured spleen although he seemed to pose no threat and yet as aussies and associates are going to report the crackdown is not deterring protesters. human tsunami tens of thousands of people flooded the streets of new york. hundreds arrested dozens beaten dragged and abused by police thousands more protest across the u.s. on thursday at the feet of america's civil war against corporate greed and wealth
7:12 am
inequality zuccotti park the place where occupy wall street was born looks nothing like it did just a couple of days ago officials were hoping that if the protesters would put an end to the movement with this has backfired a day of action brought more people out onto the streets with more bigger than ever before it's absolutely historic we haven't seen something like this in america thirty forty years and it's history repeating itself still if you're going to receive it we're going to have three months of this history making two months after occupy wall street kick started in the big apple new york authorities decided to keep protesters out of their camp bloomberg expose themselves as the clueless out of touch third world and part dictator that he would like to be this forceful eviction only added more fuel to the fire in a way that we were sort of discarded like trash that our civil liberties were really run over by our billionaire mayor galvanize a lot of people. another more powerful stage of occupy wall street out of being
7:13 am
campaigned and all over the city said we are absolutely at stage two i think what happened yesterday was we showed the world that we are strong we are numbers we're angry about what's going on and we want we want solutions protester see the lack of care and the presence of police violence and the fact that officials remain deaf to demands only empower them more they've been stored in. their desire to stick by each other is now stronger than before big list so i love you. i appreciate you guys with. a new dawn for the occupy wall street movement has broken on the horizon. our crew in the u.s. is constantly following developments surrounding the ongoing occupy movement lucy capital is currently in oakland and is posting on her twitter stream that as you
7:14 am
can see here hundreds of people have been gathering in the city despite the police warning she's also tweeted that an american lobby group suggested the u.s. banks should undermine the campaign by researching the motives of protesters and. find out. nearly quarter past the hour here in moscow you're watching the weekly and set to become a reality eurasian union is to be established by two thousand and fifteen russia along with some of its post soviet partners are planning a common economic space with the power to resist the global financial crisis. the story. three nations twenty million square kilometers of land one giant idea. is good but we won't repeat the mistakes of the european union in our integration we're conscious of what we're doing and understand who we are integrating with three countries. sharing a common history and today we are forming
7:15 am
a common good harmony in region union movie based on the already existing customs union between the three nations which are among the largest economies in the polls bierria its framework in just six months russia will lose in kazakhstan managed to increase their total trade turnover over forty percent. 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 q stan and stan are a squaring could join ukraine is sitting there with him which will be becoming a member of governments because of this sort of cooperation means more jobs bigger salaries and the chance to boost reforms and modernize our country that's why most ukrainian support the idea they want stability for some critics have dismissed the union as an attempt to restore the u.s.s.r. but experts say the difference is clear. the u.s.s.r. was built on ideology while the eurasian union will be based strictly on economy
7:16 am
and pragmatism but the experts say that even some latin american nations way cuba and venezuela me join the so-called e.u. two in the future while new zealand has already shown interest in joining as a large producer of meat with no cost them charges the benefits of being a member are simply too attractive. surely it's way too early to talk about in massive economic injustice rage which will stretch all the way from europe and the pacific ocean so far only three states have thrown their hats in but if the current momentum is anything to grow by more are certain to follow it got this one off our to moscow. well i mean i'm the head of the eurasian commission of victoria that chris thinker has outlined ways that he believes the new union could sidestep the financial turmoil that's still gripping the e.u. by the bullet if you're coming your way in about fifteen minutes time. the current situation we're in the euro zone is freezing in eternal economic problems has
7:17 am
helped us to identify probably to integrate and poor. financial and monetary policies in this we will be able to avoid piling up internally risks and generally in situations like this one because this is a. true gholston far as creating a single currency union you must exercise tight control of monetary and tax policies and national levels and this is not the case in some regions of the rules on would be exposed to pools and similar to what's happening to do you italy and spain. and watching the weekly here on ars he for the past few days we saw the u.n. atomic watchdog challenging iran to prove its nuclear activities have no military protections there was no suggestion of a new sanctions against iran in the i.a.e.a. report but washington said it's preparing penalties that could be introduced as early as monday anyway in a separate move the u.n.
7:18 am
general assembly has passed a resolution condemning terror on its alleged plot to kill the saudi envoy to big u.s. claims iran has dismissed as fabricated all this summit talks washington could stop holding back israel's alleged plans to attack the islamic republic and its arteries and he said now explains the situation with iran is beginning to resemble the iraq war lead up. iran has long been a hot topic. by the. way the greatest threat that america in the world faces at traist was a nuclear iran but if he did not 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 experts question that current expert is called it the new series science who is the russian by some ways are known to it even though the i.a.e.a.
7:19 am
report doesn't name him and he's not russian but ukrainian and here's how former weapons inspector david albright talks suffered a scientist nuclear credentials on c.n.n. when he showed him how to build of a thin kind of spherical shell with holes in it and it where 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 then he is a scientist but not a nuclear specialist those who actually know danny and say this. because he worked in a clip a city but not every person who does is the nucleus specialist he's actually trained to construct the airplanes and it's not the i.a.e.a. that is question him now but journalists audience nevertheless all right accuses
7:20 am
the young guy who specialized in nano diamonds in iran of 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 her 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 accept the deal administration's claims on chemical and biological weapons i figured they were telling the truth and some us 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
7:21 am
went on against iraq and you know 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 what it 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 there is no magic days hours 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 be aware 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. oh i do remember there's always more for you on our website arts com a quick look now at what's in store for you there and the docking is done other russian spacecraft soyuz with three members on board has successfully joined the i

7:23 am
attracted fierce criticism we've witnessed 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 void referendums that came in the states some might now be wishing they'd heeded the warnings and one after another the member states began to wobble it's least the latest country to come under scrutiny we have been witnessing in less than. a growing pressure from europe and i'm talking in particular from france and germany partly the u.k. certainly the european parliament and the commission is going to start but quite as to say first the leaders of greece and italy were placed by people who were never elected to office their way around brussels and here it is totally with berlusconi now god doesn't. painful reforms now need to be implemented to meet.
7:24 am
for the first time since the crisis began talks have now begun to turn to the possibility of exit from the year for the creation of the call europe because countries like germany seem to be leading the way 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 united states of america if a spade behaves badly imagine taxes behaving badly where you think obama's going to we're going to kick you out of united states of america no they're not going to do that because it's a bad year a pretty good year it has not gone and missed by struggling countries was this clear that those who either spend less now face paying for stories he measures the sense of being treated like a naughty school child only added to the growing strain and. really see it. now. so to say there will expose much more france and especially germany
7:25 am
to the times there must be up to us to say to to express a few not just for their own countries but for europe as a whole your attentions have not got on this by the. political leaders. in dealing with the crisis the struggling economies like italy and now cool even the. mistakes it's being considered by many the test case. it fails and it can take down the entire. the question now is whether or not those measures can fix the whether we'll see them going the same way as previous measures by european leaders. fails to come up with a convincing. third. from italy or spain where voters are heading to the polls to elect a new government amid concerns the. country next time to nearly one third of the

7:27 am
a sad joke going around spain right now that majority of the pizza delivery men here have master's degree at least and of course because a lot is because a lot of people who do spend a lot of money on education end up not being able to get a job so here's the deal basically a lot of people are have been saying that they're just simply not going to go to the polls because they have been this intransitive with the entire political situation they do not like the choices that either of the political parties present so this election is really going to show what is going on in the country by the number of people who actually turn up to vote because a lot of them are simply not going to do that because they have lost faith in the country's political system. so he's going to reporting right there with us really all the time we have for right now but there's more coming your way at this hour including an exciting development for russian football fans details in our sports frozen in just over fifteen minutes time with news the sorceror goose hitting to my view fast one is on his way back rather to the country typing in the past that the
