over a dozen people have been told major by security forces since tens of thousands began protesting that lack of reforms and the demonstrations which began on friday crowds are still remaining in the us where i was a nice just a week before parliamentary elections this was not the overthrow of hosni mubarak agree. the story of the trade this week clouds darken over the syrian government as the deadline set by the arab league to end the violence expires by president assad is defined in the face of growing international pressure. also two months of anti corporate protests in america on the mall three thousand strong marchers all over the last congress were arrested and to having hundreds of police response.

lots of greeks and italians gave them plenty welcome news on the next leaders i mean he is the trumpet states and he's insulting to because of harsh economic growth as dictated by brussels. this is also us weekly review hello and welcome to the program international pressure mounts on seaway away insurgents have launched an attack on the headquarters of the country's ruling party the so-called free syrian army composed of army deserves as have claimed responsibility for the strike in which no one was hurt the diplomatic still surrounds the country as the arab league threatened sanctions against a mosque this eye with a deadline for the government to undergarments expires that syrian president bashar al assad has pledged not to back out international pressure also his test also now has more from brussels. the pressure is certainly increasing the noose tightening
10:02 pm
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 its suspension having been suspended from the arab league and the very latest is that they really 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 that 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 have claimed responsibility for attacks on government buildings of damascus and the head of that f.s.a. but also called on countries to send his forces so again this concerns russia because if for example minister sergey lavrov had said that if pressure is to be
10:03 pm
piled on syria it should not only be just directed to the government but also to one opposition that is increasingly our home and we suggested. countries can see a peaceful outcome of developments in syria not only from the syrian authorities but also from the opposition because. the ongoing attacks on government buildings in syria look like. 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 to how it's not just worse right now it seems that the pressure on syria is becoming increasingly organized this while there have been talks of a contact him to be formed to discuss the crisis in syria at the authority have king abdullah had asked for u.k. lead and spearheaded this campaign having seen the quote success of be a libyan intervention now we know that if it's any resolution of several weeks the u.n. security council is going to be divided russia and china have already used their veto some to pass the so now there are talk that any resolution will be passed
10:04 pm
through the human rights committee or the general assembly where there are no vetoes. correspondent eric margolis things are currently witnessing a build up to outside intervention it certainly looks like the beginning of a military intervention there's no guilt. or it's very minor it's repressed a little some see is forming lowbrow actually followed by the western powers in syria that we saw and libya and one who is wanted for one time to overthrow the assad regime because it's a key ally of iran and a key supporter of hezbollah look we're not. watching this. through along with the saudis and this really is however there are wise washington children who are saying we're going to go through the regime what's going to take its place and then hell google's intervention on something now could know we're
10:05 pm
such eagerness to get ready to run via syria the course of this week i think through most of the. gyptian soldiers and police have launched a major crackdown on protesters in tahrir square in cairo a case to leaven people have been killed at the terms of ferguson's began protesting a lot of reforms ahead of parliamentary elections in just over a week the first vote after the overthrow of hosni mubarak well she's policy is in cairo with oil. well the judge in evolution has moved a dangerous phase of confrontation this is in one of the lead is in eleven people were killed on sunday two people were killed on friday now they've also been demonstrations and clashes in other cities around the country such as in alexandria as many as a thousand people have been injured there was particularly by then seen as security forces and police clash with demonstrators in tahrir square now they used tear gas they beat people and they forcibly remove them from the slip within an hour where those people had were killed and and driving past in just
10:06 pm
a short time ago now only monday morning they still there and they have bowed out but they are not going to go anywhere until the military government steps down the whole incident throws into adult what will happen in these parliamentary elections that are just around the corner with protesters same account very much it will be free and fair and we're really hearing from several political parties as well as individual candidates that they will be suspending their electoral campaigns because of concerns of what will happen in these elections and whether in fact they will be transparent certainly in wasn't brotherhood as one of the stronger toys it has mobilized behind these demonstrations and this turns green concerns that is now much trina's will come to the full hero in egypt if you will see more of an islamic representation in parliament now it wasn't so long ago that within countries are very optimistic that there would be a real change in egypt in society that we now see you know saying very countries starting to come some kind of deals with the powers that are coming to default and
10:07 pm
expressing real concern that they will leaders islamized extremism and expression here in egypt what was a revolution back in february has very soon turned into a situation where we've seen six cerium violence we've seen increasing clashes and we've seen the demands of the ordinary people on the streets to continue not to be answered. and also in political commentator and long glenn says of the arab spring has changed almost nothing. all that it really succeeded in doing was removing one dictator of the program and the land in the system remains the same and so for this reason apart from other possible involvement of site forces this is the reason why we see the type of unrest taking place in egypt it's occurring at the moment i do not believe that the arab spring was soley a grass roots movement outside of. outside influence that there were not elements involved in that we know that the united states and great britain and israel had
10:08 pm
spies on the ground in all of these countries where these revolutions were taking place we know that there were various groups tied to the cia that were responsible for training many of these young revolutionaries so in that regard i don't consider that the arab spring has done anything. the fate of colonel gadhafi son saif al islam hangs in the balance with a leader i thought was wanting to try him on charges of crimes against the libyan people that carry the death penalty national transitional council says for better and long term to live according to international criminal court in the hague the son of the dead former these overseas delong with to the wire attempting to flee across the border to. be here has been released there which cyanide is nonsense and injuries times of in nature as try to come or go and a transcriber trip with her analyst and author can bring a silence as well not got a fair trial in the media. now what what.
10:09 pm
if as is a terrible choice between being shot or read pangs because if he is judged and tried in libya he might end up very much in a saddam hussein like trial where he will end up being or he will in the be one way or the other and if he is extradited to behave it will not be a fair trial when we have all the other we will say i was the son as has been the constant throughout history every time somebody survives who. and be uncomfortable the aeration is we've also seen and this is all historical documents how more margaret buffy only in the last few years has shook the hands of tony blair barack obama no doubt a lot of things were negotiated a lot of very uncomfortable that the regime's own information could be given by out of the sun by that field. so what fate awaits. you are asking your opinion on our website. and so far the majority of you think it will be death penalty and media
10:10 pm
figures that believe killed by vigilantes before there's any chance of sending him to the hague fiction percent are skeptical about save his captured believing this is a large and the majority of things will be tried of the international criminal court please welcome to our to go home and suddenly take over. where we go and our hundreds of arrests of police brutality and dozens of injuries this is how the occupy movement in the us marks its two miles anniversary this week of this is invited here counts and broke out peaceful demos because the and it. is an expansion of wells in major american cities at the heart of the campaign round of activists took to the subway and tried to block all this stock exchange evidence has been emerging of this proportion of police action in response to their rallies at the university of california a group of students staging a sit down protests were pepper sprayed in the face. and an officer was filmed basing an iraq war veteran so hard it suffered a ruptured spleen he seems to pose no threat but has arteries marina now reports

the rundown always seems to be on three continents the result of protesters. in the financial capital of the world a movement called occupy wall street is born in each short weeks the fight against us corporate greed and wealth inequality manifests in all fifty states dynamic american movement not seen since the sixty's as the power of the people grows louder police force grew stronger peaceful activists beaten by the tons lined and by me and thrown to the ground unarmed activists pitched tents and law enforcement flashed really. fear. people who are what you think they're. people exercising their democratic right.
10:12 pm
why would. you and so they go and. tell. them that it is. thousands of occupy after this have been jailed throughout the two month campaign the mass arrest of eight hundred on the brooklyn bridge garnered 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 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
10:13 pm
a raid on the headquarters in new york came one am hundreds of armed officers destroying and displacing the heart of this democratic movement if you can that idea to the idea that we are then i get i percent of americans that you know we need to resist the influence of financial institutions the corporations right for economic kinds of those messages 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 some 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 income. going and zuccotti park the largest and loudest turnout so far came thursday as ws turned two months old a day marked by the attempt to shut down the new york stock exchange occupations in
10:14 pm
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 more 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 between the occupy movement has flooded the streets uniting thousands of strangers bound by common hardship and frustration two months in there is no denying this grassroots campaign has become a brand of the big apple and the social marker in america. party me on. the whole and as senior writer of the online magazine says there are signs that the movement is evolving from a process to a full blown repetition based on the many many people that i've interviewed who are
10:15 pm
part of that i would say that there is an extremely strong sense of. you know we almost missed the point when we call it a protest a lot of the people who i've interviewed see themselves as part of a nonviolent revolution and to really deeply entrenched status quo so you know revolutionary whether we like them or not are people who are pretty dedicated to their cause i don't see this going away any time soon. and also his career in the two eyes is constantly pulling developments surrounding the occupy movement and this account of its probably has posted on her twitter stream that hundreds of people have been gathering in the city despite the police warning and she's also tweeted that protesters have taken their plans to the home of michael bloomberg. to turn to play for twenty four of them to this is to defeat the final. to become a reality if you're raising union is debate stablished by trying to figure russia

ukraine is sitting i would team which will be becoming a member of them 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 critics have dismissed the union as an attempt to restore the u.s.s.r. but experts say the difference is clear that the hill of the u.s.s.r. was built on ideology while the eurasian union will be based strictly on the economy and pragmatism but on my experience see there even some latin american nations like 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 need with no custom charges the benefits of being a member are simply too attractive to ignore surely it's way too early to talk about any economic an industrial age which will strike all the way from europe into

blamed for the current economic crisis in which the brain finds itself mired in the moment whatever will be the winner in this election will have to deal with the same old problems and you have to understand spain as one of the highest unemployment rates in the entire eurozone has more than five million unemployed people it was a census conducted here in september which established that about four thousand people just over four thousand people have been losing their jobs daily in the country also the country has the highest unemployment rate among the youth in the entire euro zone that is almost fifty percent around forty eight percent or so so almost every other person who is between the ages of eighteen and thirty five does not have a job and they have a sort of a just a sad joke going around the country and that is that it's a little very boys in spain have probably the highest in all of the euro zone because they all have master's degrees and this is something that the people's party will have to deal with a lot of the analysts are saying they will have to take some sort of cuts that be education or health care or pensions or probably all of those areas well again i'm

10:24 pm
if there are no weapons of mass destruction i'll be mad as hell i certainly accepted the administration's claims on chemical and biological weapons i figured they were telling the truth and some u.s. politicians think non-truths could be repeating with iran well i'm afraid what's going on right now is similar to the war propaganda that went on against iraqi you know they didn't have the weapons of mass destruction but there were enough official reports implying on. 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 go it is you know it is the case iran does not have a nuclear weapons program the outright diplomatic days of who it 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 our of a dangerous mideast country that's presumably hiding secret nuclear weapons and may
