great. you need. some to. go. to headlines on odds he and almost a thousand injured in fierce clashes on cairo's tahrir square it's as the cradle of the gyptian revolution becomes the center of a new protests but this time against the military rule. and in other stories that shaped this week clouds darken over the syrian government as the deadline set by the arab league to end the violence expires the president assad is defiant in the face of growing international pressure. to months of fancy corporate protests in america marked with thousands strong marches all over the u.s. and hundreds of arrests and a heavy handed police response. plus the greeks and italians give an unfriendly

welcome to new unelected leaders summit fears the troubled state so losing suffered because of harsh economic measures dictated by brussels. but the headlines of the week you're watching the weekly with me research showing 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 a lack of reform comes before crucial elections they could carry the potential to paralyze the country once again. he was on our way to cairo as the latest from neighboring israel. this is the second straight day that there has been these violent 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 being taqiyya square at once again this was the scene where we saw an eighteen day revolution earlier a year lead to the ouster 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 weight 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 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 the post mubarak period what else is significant is that we can 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 if they repressed this jury and this is going to get out of hand specially against the muslim brotherhood if we see let's see a living large much of what's going to real square with all the factions of the muslim brotherhood. google generation everybody in this square. military dictatorship which is something that could happen within the next few weeks which will this week we're going to have three square people are saying is that mubarak might be gone but what we're witnessing happening in egypt is soften what the people hoped for we witnessing sectarian violence there are more clashes and there are important social grievances that are not being addressed. it is a policy of reporting from tel aviv and i just a moment speaking live to a political activist of a. he'll be joining us from cairo for another branch of the syrian opposition

claimed responsibility for an early morning attack in damascus at least two rocket propelled grenades hit the headquarters of syria's governing party but no one was injured it comes as a diplomatic storm surrounds the country with an arab league ultimatum demanding an end to violence. on saturday but syrian president bashar. not so bowed down before foreign pressure tests are syria has more from the european heart of politics out of brussels. the pressure is certainly increasing the noose tightening around syria president bashar al assad seems to be standing firmly on his ground psyche for his position saying that his government as well as himself back down despite all of the increasing pressure and of course his statement comes on the back of the end of that three day alternator given by the arab league for his government and the bloodshed in the country and that is in addition to to what suspension having been suspended from the arab league and the very latest is that

the greek had rejected a proposal from 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 opposition which is increasingly armed to the free syrian army made up of the factors had a claimed responsibility for attacks on government buildings and the masters and the head of that f.s.a. had also called on countries to send his forces what they had so again this concern so russia because it is the. minister sergey 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 opposition that is increasingly armed. we suggested in order to put in a position to be clear countries concerned with peaceful outcome to the syrians to demand not only from the sea. thirties but also from the opposition. which the ongoing attacks on government buildings in syria. of course tough words have

already come 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 words right i would seems that the pressure on syria is becoming increasingly organized this well there have been talks of contact before to discuss the crisis in syria at the tradition of king abdullah had asked the u.k. we needed spearheaded this campaign having seen the quote success of the libyan intervention now we know that if any resolution is to ever use the u.n. security council it's going to be divided russia and china have already used their vetoes in the past the 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. it is to isolate reporting right there well from syria now to libya where the government has said that it won't send khadafi son saif al islam to the hague and will try him at home instead and that's despite the international criminal court demands to kind him over to europe amid fears he could be lynched like his father so it could after he was seized along with two of his aides while attempting to flee to neighboring niger. want him tried on charges that could carry the death

penalty however despite the national transitional council promising a fair trial critics doubt this will be rightly. well what fate awaits saif al islam gadhafi we're asking your opinion on our web site r.t. dot com i bring up the numbers right now so far the majority think he'll most likely get the death penalty in libya around a third are skeptical about saif gadhafi is captured believing he could be still at large the rest are split between two options that he'll they either be tried in the international criminal court or be killed by vigilante's before there's any chance to send him to the hague i do log on to the top com and cast your vote. and watching r.t. you know hundreds of arrests accusations of police brutality in dozens of injuries and 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 american cities the heart of the campaign in new york a crowd of activists took to the subway and tried to block off the stock exchange and evidence has been emerging here of a disproportionate police action in response to the rallies and in the university of california a group of students staging a sit down protest were pepper sprayed in the face and in earlier incident right here an officer was filmed beating iraq war veteran so hard that he suffered a ruptured spleen although he seemed to pose no threat and yet as marina porton i reports the crackdown. protesters. in the financial capital of the world a movement called occupy wall street is born in each short weeks of fight against u.s. corporate greed and wealth inequality manifests in all fifty states i den i am an american movement not seen since the sixty's as the power of the people grows

louder police force. peaceful activists by the tons lined and by nice and thrown to the ground unarmed activists pitched tents and law enforcement launched flash grenades. that. people are democratic right. there. and so they go and. tell. them. that. thousands of occupy aptitudes have been jailed throughout the two month campaign and mass arrest of eight hundred on the brooklyn bridge international attention but this

image of an eighty four year old former schoolteacher pepper sprayed during a demonstration captures the crackdown activists face brought to a boil and 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 it can pick an idea to the idea that we are than i did i said of americans that you know we need to resist the good points of financial institution the corporations the right record because of those messages 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 to

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 psychiatry park the largest and loudest turnout so far came thursday as ws turned two months old aka 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 to look more like urban warfare hundreds were arrested and by the evening more than thirty thousand activists students and labor unions showed their strength in numbers along the proposed bridge from new york to l.a. and just about every city in between the occupy movement has flooded the streets

uniting thousands of strangers bound by common hardship and frustration to munson there is no denying this grassroots campaign has become a branch of the big apple and its social marker in america marine upper nile party me our. crew in the us is constantly following developments surrounding the occupy movement. and often is currently in oakland california and is posted on her twitter stream that hundreds of people have been gathering in the city despite the police warning she also tweeted that an american at lobby group suggested the. u.s. bangs should undermine the campaign by researching the motives of the protestors you can log on to lucy's twitter feed to find out. are you with r.t. live from moscow let's cross over now to live pictures coming in from the infamous artillery or square in cairo we've been getting reports over the last few minutes that egyptian riot police have been doing

a major assault on the main square there to a victory what had been tens of thousands of protesters it would appear that the protesters have been dispersed so you can see certain things on fire there i believe at the top of the screen but it was a police motorcycle that was cast on fire they used tear gas and various other forms of aggressive assaults who were dispersed the protesters again it was tens of thousands are gathering in the square head of a crucial elections that are coming in the very near future they are dissatisfied with the current ruling military regime that of course came in in recent months after the fall of former president hosni mubarak again these are live pictures right here from the tahrir square in central cairo. argue with r.t. live from moscow now 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 ongoing global financial crisis that you've got just going off now reports. three nations twenty million

square kilometers of land one giant idea. is because rick we will repeat the mistakes of the european union in our integration with conscious were doing to understand who we are integrating with all three countries sharing the common history and today we're forming a common economy your region you new movie based on the already existing customs union between the three nations which are among the largest economies in the area screen work in just six months. and managed to increase. total droid turnover by over forty percent of its plans there by twenty fifteen the union will not only have one borderline an economic zone but we switch to one currency as well curious done and gone or aspiring to join ukraine is sitting i would team which will be becoming a member of the news because of this sort of cooperation means more jobs bigger

salaries and a chance to boost reforms and modernize our country that's why most ukrainian support the idea they want stability for some groups have dismissed the union as an attempt to restore the u.s.s.r. but experts say the difference is clear that the chill of 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 in venezuela me join the so-called e.u. two and 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 in 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 more are certain to follow it is going

off hard moscow. meantime the head of the eurasian commission of victoria cross thank i was outlined ways he believes the new union could sidestep the financial turmoil that still gripping the e.u. now the full interview here on r.t. coming your way next that. the current situation there is a euro zone this fleecing internal economic problems the president has to my didn't apply probably to integrate and poorly it will just for financial and monetary policy is this we will be able to avoid piling up and turning the risks and generally essentially something like this one because this is on the line. if you will so far as creating the single currency union you must exercise tight control of those lodges humanitarian tax policies national level but if this is not the case and some regions of the rules on will be exposed to pools and some similar to what's happening to you greece italy and spain that's.

what you want in the weekly here on our t.v. and over the past several days a world that bore 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 report but washington said it's preparing penalties that could be introduced as early as monday now in a separate move the u.n. general assembly has passed a resolution condemning tehran's alleged plot to kill the saudi envoy to the u.s. claims that iran has consistently dismissed as fabricated all this there were many talks washington could stop holding back israel's alleged plans to attack the islamic republic and its r.t.s. 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. the

greatest threat that america in the world faces but at faced was a nuclear iran that is he did not since one. last week's report from the un's nuclear watchdog sparking fears iran was pursuing atomic weapons the i.a.e.a. says iran developed a high explosives initiation system a detonator with the help of a foreign expert question not current expert is called it a mystery scientist who is the russian by some ways are new to the us even though the i.a.e.a. report doesn't name him and he's not russian ukrainian many years here's how former weapons inspector david albright talks not really science is nuclear conventional on c.n.n. weapons showed him how to build a thin hemispherical shell with holes in it and they were the detonation happens and you simultaneously set off explosive pellets in a series of holes in that of one of shell and those explosive pell pellets in night the high explosive underneath and in a very severe cool way it compresses the core and then you get

a nuclear explosion that just loved any land is a scientist but not a nuclear specialist those who actually know danny and can't say this but. he worked in a clear facility but not every person who does this in a clear specialism he's actually trained to construct an airplane but again it's not the i.a.e.a. that is question him no but journalists rodion nevertheless all right accused is going to be on guard who specialize 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 history of pointing fingers just 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 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 it's similar to the war propaganda when i want to instill a rat 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 limited 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 outright 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 way or

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 ok remember there's always much more fuel on our website article come a quick look now at what's in store for you for example docking done by the russian spacecraft soyuz with three members on board has successfully joined the international space station find out what it will be doing on the final frontier and see dot com. and the once in a lifetime chance to glimpse of something truly divine accuse of believers a stretch for more than three kilometers and a very chilly moscow as our one of the most revered orthodox relics goes on display at russia's main cathedral. are you watching the weekly here on r.t. and this week thousands of people in italy and greece offered a less than friendly welcome to their new prime ministers of both mario monti and

lucas papademos so committed to extremely. popular that solutions 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 i see sarah for ports there are growing concerns of brussels will interfere in the domestic politics between russia. it was never going to be easy to put the night year at seventeen countries of which are now on the one currency attracted fierce criticism we missed 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 go for it referendums in the key member states some might now be wishing they'd heeded the warnings one after another the member states begin to wobble it's least in the latest country to come under scrutiny we have been

wouldn't sing in the last. growing pressure from europe and i'm talking in particular from trance and germany hardly the u.k. certainly the european parliament and the commission is going to start quite this is a fast the leaders of greece and italy replaced 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. painful reforms now need to be implemented to meet the demands for the first time since the quizes 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 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 if us they'd behave badly imagine texas

behaving badly where you sleep obama is going to we're going to kick you out of united states of america. no they're not going to be calling sense a bad year we've had a good year inquiry has not gone unnoticed by struggling countries most is clear that those who haven't spent most now face the painful stares he measures the sense of being treated like a naughty school child only added to the growing strain community because it's only now started because well so see there will expose much more france and especially germany to the times there must be up to us to say to to express our political leadership not just for their own countries but for your of us all your attentions have not caught on missed by the financial markets punish political leaders in the phaeton dealing with the crisis the struggling economies like italy even the. mistakes italy's being considered by many to test case for the entire year you say

it fails and it could take down the entire fifth the 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. third party. and in spain now where voters are heading to the polls to elect a new government concern the contagion will hit their country next it's home to nearly one third of the euro zone's unemployed there was little hope among the people that any of the candidates can help these reports from. 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 a huge margin between the two parties you have to understand that at this point spain is a very nice and easy very dire situation the countries are experiencing tremendous problems of employment there more than five million people without jobs right now

one and a half million households i do not have a wage earner at all. and census conducted here recently and i 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 entire european union in fact there is a kind of a sad job going around spain right now that majority of the pizza delivery men here have to create a priest 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 i have been saying that they're just simply not going to go to the polls because they have 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 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. ridiculous for the reporting from a madrid well that you would r.t. live from moscow an exciting development full football fans with the soccer sorceror hitting possibly taking the reins of a team from a small caucasus republic i now a sports bulletin the next hour here on r.t. hiddink comments on the rumors that he might be coaching that his stance and gee that seem featuring some of the world's top footballers. ok what if you'll stay with us for just a couple of minutes we'll recap you and i mean stories shortly so you see.
