9:02 am
to the streets and thousands of people have been injured really the focal point being taqiyya square once again this was the scene of where we saw an eighteen day revolution earlier a year believed to be of the form egypt and 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're not not that much different from me for me to can 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 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
9:03 am
of the service to say that we could be on the brink of a second revolution if they repress this search area and this is going to get out of specially against the muslim brotherhood and if we see let's see a large miracle of what's going to lead to read a square with all the factions of the muslim brotherhood. generation everybody in this square i guess to a military dictatorship which is something that could happen within the next few shooting which literally this week we're going to have to reassess where people are saying is that mubarak might be gone but what we are witnessing happening in egypt is far from what the people hoped for we witnessing sectarian violence there are more classes and there are important social grievances that are not being addressed . it's policy reporting a. branch of the syrian opposition claimed responsibility for an early morning in damascus today at least two rocket propelled grenades hit the headquarters of
9:04 am
syria's governing party supporter just that nobody was injured but comes as a diplomatic storm surrounds the country with an arab league ultimatum demanding it enter violence expiring on saturday but syrian president bashar al assad pledged not to bow down before foreign pressure. a severe has more from brussels. the pressure is certainly increasing the noose tightening around syria president bashar al assad seems to be standing firmly on his ground so keeping his position saying that his government as well as himself won't back down despite all of the increasing pressure and of course his statement comes on the back of the end of that three day old tomato given by the arab league for his government and the bloodshed in the country and that is in addition to to a suspension having been suspended from the arab league and the very latest is that the greek had rejected the 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 the pressure is also coming from from the ground from the
9:05 am
opposition which is increasingly are libya free syria army made up of defectors have claimed responsibility for attacks on government buildings of the last years and the head of that f.s.a. had also called on countries to send his forces weapons so again this concern so russia because if he 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 an opposition that is increasingly armed. we suggested in order to put the position in place all countries concerned with a peaceful outcome develop some serious not only from the syrian authorities but also from the opposition. which the ongoing attacks on government buildings in syria looks like a simple yes. of course to. force have already come from the outside since the beginning of this crisis eight months ago it's only escalating at the moment to how it's not just worse right now it seems that the pressure on syria is becoming
9:06 am
increasingly organized this while there have been talks of a contact him to be formed to discuss the crisis in syria and the interesting king abdullah had asked that big you k. we needed spearheaded this campaign having seen the quote success libyan intervention now we know that is in any resolution a several weeks the u.n. security council is going to be hit by that russia and china have already used their vetoes in the past so now there are talk that any resolution would be passed through the human rights committee of the general assembly where there are no vetoes. such as arcelor what i mean so i'm a war correspondent eric margolis thinks that we're currently witnessing a build up to inevitable outside intervention it certainly looks like the beginning of a military intervention and there's no guilt or has gone or it's very minor it's repressed a little sissy is forming lowbrow action by the western powers in syria that. libya in washington is wanted for one time to overthrow the regime
9:07 am
because it's a key ally of iran and a key supporter of hezbollah little not. washington who overthrew along the saudis and it's really it's over your rise and it's why should the children who are saying wait a minute if you go through the regime what's going to take its legs and ground hell google earth intervention on something now with no such eagerness to get iran he is serious cautions i think. turning our attention now to libya where the government has said that it won't send kid after your son saif al islam to the hague and will try him at home that's despite the international criminal court demanding to hand him over to europe i mean fears he could be lynched like his father saif gadhafi was seized along with two of his aides well attempting to flee to neighboring nigeria libyan authorities want him tried on charges that could ultimately carry the death penalty however despite the national transitional
9:08 am
council promising a fair trial critics doubt that is unlikely to come. so what fate awaits saif al islam gadhafi we are asking your opinion right now on our web site r.t. dot com let's see how you guys are voting at the moment but so far the majority think you'll most likely get the death penalty in libya around a third of skeptical about saif gadhafi is captured believing he could be still at large but the rest are split between two options which will be tried at the international criminal court or he'll be killed by vigilantes before there's any chance to send him to the hague but you take a moment if you would log on to r.t. dot com and that's our get your vote. and watch in the weekly here on our team hundreds of arrests accusations of police brutality and dozens of injuries this is how the occupy movement in the u.s. markets two month anniversary this week officers in riot gear tore down camps and broke up mostly peaceful demos against the unequal distribution of wealth in major
9:09 am
cities at the heart of the campaign in a crowd of activists took to the subway and tried to block off the stock exchange and evidence here has been emerging of disproportionate police action in response to the rallies and the university of california meantime a group of students are staging a sit down protest pepper sprayed in the face and in an earlier incident 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 artie's an associate reports the. down is not deterring 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 protest across the u.s. on thursday the feast of america's civil war against corporate greed and wealth inequality could be part of the place where occupy wall street was born looks
9:10 am
nothing like it did just a couple of days ago officials were hoping that of beating 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 vigor but 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 that leads you to make it the way you perceive it we're going to have two months of decision 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 the third world and 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 that our civil liberties were really run over by our billionaire mayor as it 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
9:11 am
happened yesterday was we show the world that we are strong we are number i'm sure we're angry 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. which is cool known. it will happen late and it will cause she's their desire to stick by each other is now stronger than before they can accomplish a lot of thank you for. the research you guys will be. a new dawn for the occupy wall street movement has broken on the horizon and is their future king or thirteen . now if you screw in the u.s. it's constantly following developments surrounding the ongoing occupy movement assays or lucy comfort of is currently in oakland california and it's posted as you can see here on her twitter stream but hundreds of people have been gathering in the city just spite the police warning and she's also tweeted that an american
9:12 am
lobby group suggested u.s. banks should undermine the campaign by researching the true motives of protesters i do log on to lucy's twitter feed to find out why. this is artsy now 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 global financial crisis so unlike notes for other artes you go to school. three nations twenty million square kilometers of land one giant idea. is because we won't repeat the mistakes of the european union in our integration conscious or we're doing much grander stand who we are integrating with what there are three countries sharing a common history and today we are forming a common economy the region union will be based on the already existing customs union between the three nations which are among the largest economies in the balls
9:13 am
or garia within its framework in just six months russia will lose in kazakhstan managed to increase their total trade turnover by over forty percent of. its plans there by a twenty fifteen the union will not only have one border one an economic zone but may switch to one currency as one curious done and gone or aspiring to join ukraine is selling i would team which will be becoming a member of the work of a musical called this sort of co-operation means more jobs bigger salaries and a chance to boost reforms and modernize our country that's why most ukrainian support the idea that they want stability for some groups have dismissed the union as an attempt to restore the u.s.s.r. but experts say the difference is clear as they still are but 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 you work
9:14 am
in 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 to ignore surely it's way too early to talk about it kind of like an industrial bridge which 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 more are certain to follow it got this going off party in moscow. i mean time the head of the eurasian commission. has outlined ways he believes the new union could sidestep the financial turmoil that continues to grip the e.u. and the full interview coming your way in about fifteen minutes. from the current situation there is a little as long as fleecing internal economic problems self-esteem identify probably has to integrate and poor little just think financial and monetary
9:15 am
policies you know this will be able to avoid piling up internal risks and generally essentially something like this one because this is a simple thing that if you go so far as creating the single currency union you must exercise tight control of the budget monetary and tax policies national level which is not the case and some regions of the rules on will be exposed to pools and some similar to what's happening to the greece italy and spain which. are at an hour quarter past the hour here in moscow you're watching artsy this week so that you and atomic watchdog challenging iran to prove its nuclear activities have nobility protections that there was no suggestion for new sanctions against tehran in the latest report and washington said it's preparing penalties that could be introduced as early as monday anyway now secretary of the u.n. general assembly has passed a resolution condemning terrence alleged plot to kill the saudi envoy to the u.s.
9:16 am
claims iran has stressed that. all this amid talks that washington could stop holding back israel's alleged plans to attack the islamic republic as r.t. as anything 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 at faced with a nuclear iran but it's heated up since last week's report from the un's nuclear watchdog stalking 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 foreign experts question not our expert is called it a mystery science or was it a russian by some western media even though the i.a.e.a. report doesn't name him and he's not russian by ukrainian any year here's how
9:17 am
former weapons inspector david albright talks suffered a scientist nuclear credential on c.n.n. with weapons showed him how to build of a thin hemispherical shell with holes in it and where the detonation happens and you simultaneously set off explosive pellets in a series of holes in that one with shell and those explosive pell pellets in night 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 a nuclear specialist those who actually know danny and say this the new impossible to do if you 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 question you know but journalists roddy and nevertheless all right accuse is going to come who specialized in nano diamonds in iran working with the iranians
9:18 am
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 hand and history out pointing fingers because before 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 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 of chemical and biological weapons i figured they were telling the truth and some of 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 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
9:19 am
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 if 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 beware 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 r.t. moscow but here we are also discussed of the issue the iranian issue with dr saeed mohammad marandi from tehran university he said this week's resolutions by the un and its atomic watchdog show that washington's influence is weakening on the situation. they've been imposed sanctions. on the runyon oil ministry
9:20 am
for years now and the iranians continue to develop oil and gas fields they continue to develop a petro chemical petro chemical industry and i don't think there's going to be any change whatsoever basically what it is doing it is it is there it is showing the american hand and how the americans are really unable to do anything about iran so in general the iranians feel that the americans their strength is weakening and we even see that in the letter in the statement issued by. a board if we did not contain any of the major elements that the americans were seeking for thirteen that there's a relative decline in american for a trans an american pow pow or both at the political level as well as. economic with ability to apply economic pressure now twenty minutes past the hour here in moscow where you remember there's always much more for you on our website
9:21 am
r.t. dot com a quick look now at a so many items are standing by for you for example a docking done the russian spacecraft soyuz with three members on board i successfully joined the i s s to find out what it will be doing in the final frontier at r.t. dot com. and a once in a lifetime chance to glimpse of something truly divine queues of believers stretch for more than three kilometers in a very chilly moscow as one of the most revered off the docks relics goes on display at russia's main cathedral. this week thousands of people in italy and greece offered a less than friendly welcome for their new prime ministers both mario monti. committed to extremely unpopular debt solution including budget cuts and tax hikes but markets are far from convinced with debt interest rates across the e.u. reaching catastrophic levels and as artie's sort of. there are growing concerns that brussels will interfere in the domestic politics of the two nationals. it was
9:22 am
never going to be easy. to unite europe seventeen countries of which are now in the one currency attracted fierce criticism we just the beginning of a dishonest and downright dangerous journey president. to revive the constitution but to do it in such a way that you wanted the boy referendum to keep the states some might now be wishing they'd heeded the warnings one after another and then the states begin to wobble at least in the latest country to come under scrutiny we have been witnessing in the last. 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 quite as to say first senior leaders who quit and italy were placed by people who were never
9:23 am
elected to office he knew their way around brussels and here in italy with berlusconi now gone doesn't. paying for reforms now need to be implemented to meet tough. for the first time since the questions began talks have now begun to turn to the possibility of exit from the year or the creation of the call 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 and all you have behaved badly we've got a partition that's not a union in united states of america before us they've behaved badly imagine taxes behaving badly and you think obama is going to we're going to get you out of united states of america no they're not going to be quoting cents a bad year a pretty good year has not gone unnoticed by struggling countries it's clear that those who either spend less now face a painful stay. measures the sense of being treated like
9:24 am
a child then he added to the growing strained community it's now. so see there will always much more france and especially germany to the times there must be up to the sea to to express a politically defeated 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. in dealing with the crisis in struggling economies like italy even the napery think the stakes italy's being considered by many the test case for the entire a year you say it fails and it could take down the entire. question now is whether or not those measures can fix the whether we'll see them going the same way as previous measures put forward by european leaders who say fails to come up with a convincing rescue there are three. more from italy to spain
9:25 am
where voters are now heading to the polls to elect a new government and it concerned the contagion will hit country next it's home to nearly one third of the euro zone's unemployed and there's little hope among the people that any of the continent's going to help these ridiculous reports from madrid. 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 there will be huge margin between the two parties you have to understand that at this point spain is a vincent is in a very dire situation the country's experiencing tremendous problems of employment there are more than five million people without jobs right now and one and a half million households i do not have a wage earner at all. and 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
9:26 am
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 joke going around spain right now that majority of the pizza delivery men here have nostrils to create policed and of course because that 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 help in 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 out 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 are going to live in the heart of moscow and an exciting development for football fans soccer source or. possibly taking the reins
