well. it's technology innovations all the developments around russia. the future of. 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 center for a new protests this time though against the military rule. and other stories that shape this week clouds darkened over the syrian government as the deadline set by the arab league to end the violence expires president assad is defiant in the face of growing international pressure. two months of protests in america among three thousand strong marches all over the country and hundreds of arrests and a heavy handed police response. plus the greeks and italians given under friendly

welcomes the new unelected leaders i mean here's the troubled states a losing sovereignty because of harsh economic measures dictated by brussels. but the stories that made headlines this week this is the weekly with me rory same shape 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 show of anger at a lack of reform comes before crucial elections could carry the potential to paralyze the country once again. who's on our way to cairo has the latest from neighboring israel. this is the second straight day that there has been these a vine and clashes in downtown cairo 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 really the focal point in tuchis where i say 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 the four major from 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 first parliamentary elections to be held in a post mubarak period what else is significant is that beacon 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 observers to say that we could be on the brink of a second revolution if they repress this syria. 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 literally a square with all the factions of the muslim brotherhood. to google generation everybody in this square against the military dictatorship touristic which is something that could happen within the next few weeks which will it is like we're going to have three squares what people are saying is that mubarak might be gone but what we witnessing happening in egypt is far from what the people hoped for we witnessing sectarian violence there are more clashes and there are important social grievances that are not being addressed. paula salute reporting right there will meantime the armed branch of the syrian opposition claimed responsibility for an early morning attack in damascus at least two r.p.g.

as a rocket propelled grenades hit the headquarters of syria's governing party at this point we have reports no one was injured now it comes as a diplomatic storm surrounds the country and the arab league ultimatum demanding an end to violence expired on saturday but syrian president bashar al assad pledged not to fall down before pressure now let's get the latest on this now from our city are standing by live in brussels good to see you tess so it might seem to some the that the pressure cooker in damascus is on the verge of hemorrhaging particularly with increased external calls for various penalties and intervention what do you know. well that's right the pressure is certainly increasing the new sighting around syria president bashar al assad seems to be standing firmly on his ground so i keeping his position saying that his government as well as himself won't back down despite all of the increasing pressure and of course the statement comes on the back of the end of that three day old tomato given by the arab league for his government to end the bloodshed in the country and that is in addition to to its

especially having been suspended from the arab league and the very latest is that they really have rejected proposals of syria on amendments to the peace process as well as allowing international observers into the country so essentially there's an impasse at the moment and that pressure is also coming from from the ground from the opposition which is increasingly armed the free syrian army made up of the factors had a claimed responsibility for attacks on government buildings in damascus and the head of that f.s.a. had also called on countries to send his forces weapons so again that this concerns russia because if the foreign minister sergei lavrov had said that if pressure is to be piled on syria it should not only be just directed to the government but also to the one opposition that is increasingly armed at the moment. we suggested that it didn't please countries concerned with peaceful. not only from the syrian authorities but also from the opposition. the ongoing government buildings in syria

. because. of course tough words have already called from the outside since the beginning of this crisis eight months ago it's only escalating at the moment you know it's not just worse right now it seems that the pressure on syria is becoming increasingly organized this well there have been talks of a contact to before to discuss the crisis in syria at the intruding on king abdullah had asked that the u.k. needed spearhead this campaign having seen it be a quote success of libyan intervention and also it's been reported that there's already been a diplomat that's been appointed. to replace directly with the opposition again it seems that it's falling to property we've already seen before now also jordan and turkey are considering creating buffer zones within syria for civilians and rebels that are fighting against the regime that this is essentially if it does go through is essentially operating within the boundaries of borders of a sovereign nation of course concerns or russia have being against any form of

intervention but also france foreign minister they have issued earlier this week a statement saying it's simply too late for any reforms to be implemented in syria and in addition to all of these increasingly tough words of course this is germany and the u.k. and france pushing for a new resolution now we know that it's any resolution to sever the u.n. security council is going to be divided russia and china have already used their veto in the past i'm so doubt their talk that any resolution would be passed through the human rights committee a good general assembly where there are no vetoes so certainly there are members of the community international community who are keen to isolate assad and keep the push for a push move forward these this pressure and also there are others such as russia and china who were still at this point hoping for a peaceful political solution to this so just calls for western intervention with syria but also regionally from syria's neighbors at some point or another might have been considered friends or allies just as our sort of life rosales likes and i mean time american political culture and author ted rowlands says that diplomatic

pressure isn't aimed at the opposition and that the endgame in syria is ultimately regime change. 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 case keeping 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. meantime hundreds across libya poured onto the streets celebrating the around of the late leader moammar gadhafi is the most prominent son crowds thought 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 niger libyan authorities who want him tried in the country on charges that could carry the death penalty despite the national transitional council promising a fair trial a critics doubt this is a right. so what fate awaits saif al islam gadhafi we are asking your opinion on our web site right now and our teams are thoughtless look at the numbers so far the majority think he'll most likely get the death penalty in libya around a third of skeptical about saif gadhafi was captured in the first place believing he could still be at large for the rest split between two options but he'll be tried at the international criminal court will be killed by vigilantes before there's any chance to send him to the hague you can log onto now and cast your vote . this is not see hundreds of arrests accusations of police brutality and dozens of injuries this is how the occupy movement in the united

states mark its two month anniversary this week but officers in riot gear toured down camps and broke up mostly peaceful demos ago. the unequal distribution of wealth in major american city is now 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 that evidence has been emerging of disproportion of police action in response to the rallies and here at the university of california a group of students staging a sit down protest pepper sprayed in the face and in an earlier incident an officer was filmed right here beating an iraq war veteran so hard he suffered a ruptured spleen although he seemed to pose no threat and yet as a marine a port i reports the crackdown is not deterring protesters. in the financial capital of the world a movement called occupy wall street is poor in each short weeks the fight against us corporate greed and wealth inequality and that affect us in all fifty states i don't i am a american movement not seen since the sixty's as the power of the people grows

louder police force grow stronger peaceful activists by the time blinded by nice and thrown to the ground my mind to this extends one force may last for me so the response is. fear. think that there are. people like the democratic right. why would. you so they go and. tell. them that there's. a lot else is occupy activists have been jailed throughout the chou

month campaign and mass arrest of eight hundred on the brooklyn bridge international attention but this is. image of an eighty four year old former schoolteacher pepper sprayed during a demonstration captures the crackdown activists face brought to a boiling point by economic injustice and a political system failing the majority protesters demonstrated unprecedented resilience and then u.s. authorities began occupying the occupations one by one even activists under the pretext of health or safety concerns a raid on the headquarters in new york came at one am hundreds of armed officers destroying and displacing the heart of this democratic movement became addicted idea to the idea that we are than i did i said of americans that you know we need to resist the influence of financial institutions the corporations right record of excess of those methods that are being spread around the country what began as an

occupation in a park has grown into a national movement fighting for principles the momentum has shifted much more large existing institutional actors like labor unions and well known community organizations that are picking up their basic message and i think that that message has got such resonance right now that people are going to turn out on the streets around these issues whether or not there's an encampment in secada park the largest the loudest turnout so far came thursday as the west turned two months old a day marked by the attempt to shut down the new york stock exchange occupations in parks and subways and heavy handed tactics by the n.y.p.d. a protest that began peacefully turned she looked more like urban warfare hundreds we're a rustic and by the evening more than thirty thousand activists students and labor unions showed their strength in numbers along the brooklyn bridge from new york to

l.a. and just about every city in its theme the occupy movement has flooded the streets uniting thousands of. strangers bound by common hardship and frustration to my sin there is no denying this grassroots campaign has become a branch of the big apple and the social marker in america. party we are. in the us is constantly following developments surrounding the ongoing occupy movement. and office currently in oakland california and has posted on her twitter stream as you can see here that hundreds of people have been gathering in the city despite the police warning that also i tweeted that an american that lobby group suggested u.s. banks should undermine the campaign by researching the motives of the protesters so you can log on to lucy's twitter feed the find out more. past the hour here at moscow you're watching the weekly set to become a reality a 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 ongoing global financial crisis. of us the story. three nations twenty million square kilometers of land and one giant a.g.a. is great because we won't repeat the mistakes of the european union in our integration conscious or doing much to understand who we are integrating with their three countries sharing a common history and today we are forming a common economy the region unity be strong the already existing customs union between the three nations are among the largest economies in the walls of your area with its green work in just six months russia kazakhstan managed to increase their total trade turnover forty percent. its plans that way twenty fifteen the union will not only have one borderline an economic zone let me switch to one currency as

want to use sun and stan or aspiring to join ukraine is silly never team which will be coming from them. economy. this sort of corporation means more jobs bigger salary and so the chance to boost reforms and modernize our country and that's why most ukrainians support the idea they want stability you form some groups have dismissed the union as an attempt to restore the u.s. assault but experts say the difference is clear because of this the show of the u.s.s.r. was built on ideology while the eurasian union will be based strictly on economy immigration it has but experts say that even some latin american nations like you work in venezuela me join the so-called new to 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 mina member are simply too attractive. surely it's way too early to talk about any massive economic

an industrial bridge which would stretch all the way from europe and from 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. but the head of the eurasian commission of victoria cross tenko has outlined ways he believes the new unit could sidestep the financial turmoil that still gripping but i feel that if you coming your way here and i say that. the current situation where the eurozone is facing internal economic problems has helped us to identify probably to integrate and pour it all just for financial and monetary policies this way it will be able to avoid piling up internally risks and generally situations like this one because this is on the line one simple thing if you go so far as creating a single currency union you must exercise tight control of the budget monetary and tax policies at national levels which is not the case then some regions of new

rules on will be exposed to pose as a similar to what's happening today in greece italy and spain which. we're watching the weekly here and it's here it's kind of you to join us now over the past few days that the world will witness to the u.n. atomic watchdog challenging iran to prove its nuclear activities have no military pretensions there was no suggestion for 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 and separately u.n. general assembly has passed a resolution condemning terrence alleged plot to kill the saudi envoy to the u.s. claims iran has dismissed as being. all this image told the washington could stop holding back israel's alleged plans to attack the islamic republic as our season he said now explains the situation with iran is beginning to resemble the iraq war leader. iran has long been

a hot topic. but. anyway the greatest threat that america the world faces and 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 experts question not current expert is called a news story science who is the russian by some western nobody has even though the i hear a point doesn't name him and he's not russian ukrainian many years now former weapons inspector david albright talks not refined its nuclear conventional on c.n.n. when you show them how to build a thin hemispherical 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

a woman 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 this is not. then he is a scientist but not a nuclear specialist those who actually know daniel young cannot say this. figure he worked in a nuclear facility but not every person who does is in a clear specialism he's actually trained to construct an airplane and it's not the i.a.e.a. that is question he now but journalists nevertheless all right accuses the only outcome who specializes in the low 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 specter outright has a history of pointing fingers just the story 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 that 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 it's similar to the war propaganda that went on against iran 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 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 iran not iraq he's now artsy moscow. if you remember there's always a more you want our website on t.v. or compensate with what's in store for you were dropping done by the russian spacecraft soyuz with three members on board who successfully join the i assess find out what it will be doing in the final frontier r.t. talking. about a once in a lifetime chance to glimpse something truly divine queues of believers stretch for more than three kilometers in a very chilly moscow that's one of the most revered orthodox relics goes on display at russia's main cathedral. you're watching r.t. this week thousands of people in italy and greece offered

a less than friendly welcome to the new prime ministers both mario monti and lucas papademos are committed to extremely unpopular taxation budget cuts and tax hikes but markets are far from convinced with interest rates across the e.u. reaching catastrophic levels as r.t. for three points there are growing concerns that brussels will interfere in the domestic politics. it was never going to be easy to put it this year at seventeen countries of which you know and they won't currency fierce criticism is the beginning of a dishonest and downright dangerous president. to revive the new constitution but to do it in such a way that you want to go for a referendum to the states might now be wishing they'd heeded the warnings one after another this day speak into what will please the latest country to come under

scrutiny we have. a growing pressure from europe and i'm talking in particular from france and germany hardly the u.k. certainly a european parliament and the commission that's going to start the crisis is say the leaders of an equally good. placed by people who were never elected to office he knew their way around brussels here in italy with berlusconi now gone doesn't. paying for thoughts now need to be implemented to meet. for the first time since quite began talks have now begun to turn to the possibility of exit from the year or the creation of the cool europe 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 article or you're right you have behaved badly we're going to punish that's not a union in united states of america you for steve behaved badly imagine packs of behaving

badly and you think obama is going to we're going to kick you out of united states of america no they're not going to run because it's a bad year agree pretty good you're a great he's not going to miss by struggling countries was this clear that those who overspent this now face a painful stories he measures the sense of being treated like a naughty school child then he added to the growing strain in the euro community if it's only now well so to say there will expose much more france and especially germany to the times there are big must be up to the 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 financial markets punish political leaders to tracking their feet and dealing with the crisis and struggling economies like italy now cause even the many pleading for mistakes italy's being

considered by many the test case for the entire year if it fails and it could take down the entire system the question now is whether or not those measures can fix feet whether we'll see them going the same way as previous measures put forward by european leaders who say far failed to come up with a convincing rescue service r.t. . tensions out of spain where voters are heading to the polls to elect a new government. that contagion will hit the country next it's nearly one third of the euro zone's unemployed and that's little hope among the people that any of the candidates can help. reports from which are the polls have opened indeed in spain and also course the socialist party which is the ruling party right now is expected to lose to the popular or the people's party however the question remains whether or not they will be sure to margin between the two parties you have to understand that at this point spain is a vincent is in

a very dire situation the countries are experiencing tremendous problems of employment there are more than five people without jobs right now one and a half million households i do not have a wage earner at all. the census conducted here recently and found that in september an average four thousand people have been losing jobs daily in the country and this is of course the situation that the winner will have to deal with you also have to realize that the country has the highest unemployment rate among the young people in the european union in fact there is a kind of a sad job going around spain right now that's majority of the pizza delivery men here have master's degree at least and of course because they got 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 i have been saying that they're just simply not going to go to the polls because they have been disenchanted 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. we're going to. go with our to you live from moscow an exciting development for football fans coming your way with a saucer of guus hiddink possibly taking the reins of a team from a small caucuses republic and i was forced to listen to next hour here on odds here hitting the comments on the rumors he might be coaching in pakistan's angie seem featuring some of the world's top footballers. right i think they got us here are to remind of our top stories are coming your way in about ninety seconds.
