5:02 am
on wednesday the police action against the protesters was not as heavy as what we've seen in other cities like oakland in california or new york in different cities police use tear gas on people rubber bullets sound cannons temper spray no this time they just record and arrest no injuries as far as we know but still almost three hundred protesters arrested were people refuse to leave the park surrounding the l.a. city hall which they've been occupying for the last eight weeks some demonstrators climbed into the trees to avoid the vix and police were using cherry pickers to take them off those trees the occupiers in l.a. received an eviction order last week with missiles for siding sanitation problems and property damage the reasons behind eviction order we've seen this happening all across the u.s. under different pretenses authorities have been taking protesters out of their occupied locations in philadelphia police in riot gear confronted demonstrators

arresting around fifty people about fifty people who refused to clear it streets over the last two months around five thousand occupy protesters have been arrested across the united states the movement has been generally very peaceful their message was all about nonviolent from the very beginning and to the credit of the occupiers in l.a. even as widespread arrests were taking place and there were lots of emotions involved of course there were brought down their camps that meant for many fear that the message of the movement would vanish together with the tense in those parts the message being against corporate greed against corruption in washington it can all make inequality and excesses of the u.s. financial system. and he's a gun if you can reporting right there one of these latest arrests in l.a. now bring the total across the whole occupy movement to almost five thousand but now police are actually starting to defect to the other side now across one of more

important has been finding out why some people have been choosing to make history rather than make arrests. occupy wall street has become an undeniable american household name. and police crackdowns against the democratic movement have become something of the norm not so normal is seeing one side endorse the other. retired philadelphia police captain gray lewis became the game changer on nov seventeenth arrested while demonstrating with occupy protesters on the streets of new york city the twenty four year veteran was held in police custody for eleven hours and received one comment from a new york cop nobody talked him into this one individual said that i had the testicles of an elephant although all of america's police force is part of the ninety nine percent captain lewis says cops secretly supporting the us face
5:05 am
dire consequences by going public oh a tremendous fear of losing their job efficiently and being fired and what they do everybody in the ninety nine percent has a fear that police officers also they cannot risk they have children. what would they do what so far there are no jobs available the nighttime raid on zuccotti park and subsequent arrest of dozens of journalists covering the story are among many reasons captain lewis says he temporarily transplanted to manhattan that's close to a dictatorship when you actually the media. was with papers around the world and that is very scary brutal scare tactics such as pepper spray tons and flash grenades canisters have been used against occupy camps throughout the u.s. oakland california resembles something of an urban war zone this fall leaving a war vet in critical condition and the eyes of an eighty four year old burning
5:06 am
from tear gas oakland police officer fred chavez is the only active cop who's gone on record with his support. totally agree with occupy wall. people told us they were lucky grow i am a part of the ninety nine percent for the most part people are peaceful they want to see change many believe the biggest change could calm when or if u.s. law enforcement officials stop suppressing the right to assemble and begin supporting it despite his arrest captain lewis is back at zuccotti park showing unwavering support for the occupy movement standing roughly ten or fifteen feet away from him a group of new york city police officers yes they're here securing the area but some are beginning to show the interest for the first time i had an officer break ranks yesterday at the barricade line a white officer named officer murray and introduced himself and he asked me if you question i said do you know the risk you're taking and he was so brave they said
5:07 am
this is still america and until a supervisor ordered ordered me back to the line i'm going to talk with you i hope to get mainstream america involved the police involved realizing that we're all victims of corporate america and that for america has got to be stopped. r.t. new york. we are closely following the protests that have been shaking up the united states on our web site. you can go online to check out the photo report taken during the massive raid on the occupy l.a. protest get all the latest updates as well from the site also on our right now of the day the case stood still more than two million people in written down tools in the largest public sector strike in thirty years also. a right royal republish moment russia's navy will be fit for a queen actually quite literally as opposed to be refitted by the same furniture company that tends to her majesty's needs in the u.k.

. ok now even it's past the hour here in moscow the u.k. is expelling all iranian diplomats following the storming of its embassy in tehran because all of the immediate closure of iran's mission in london britain has already evacuated its own diplomats from the islamic states capital but this comes after hundreds of hardline protesters attacked the u.k. compound in tehran pelting the gates and windows with petrol bombs and burning british flags the demonstrations followed a vote in iran's parliament to reduce the diplomatic ties with london in retaliation for imposing further sanctions over its nuclear program but discussion of new measures against iran are also expected to dominate
5:09 am
a meeting of european foreign ministers that's happening later today a middle east expert and journalist chandan believes this latest spat with iran is just the start of a bigger western campaign. the west is not engaged in war preparations us against iran which they have been they've invaded and occupied iran's two neighboring countries like afghanistan on the one side and. iraq on the other the west is engaged in a constant project of constant war and domination against all people who resist their domination so iran and syria are different from the cards and become a conflagration will engulf the whole middle east that this has the potential for growing but that is the agenda right now very clearly they want regime change all across africa libya was the start and look at the pacific rim asia region the new the new troops new u.s. troops already sent to australia and listen to clinton she is saying that the critical places for us domination is not iraq and afghanistan but in asia what's emerging right now is
5:10 am
a historic time for next ten fifteen years where britain and america know they're going down economically and militarily and they know china russia are emerging so they're really feeling that now is the crisis period to make sure that they can dominate as much as possible through sanctions and war i mean it's all it's all you know it's any means necessary i mean whether they do it through sanctions or war or funding opposition movements it's all the same they want complete domination as soon as possible. but no one benefits from having sanctions against tehran and europeans will suffer from them as well. from the school of oriental studies at the university of london this science is a fake they're very strongly ordinary rain and this is a situation as many rain in other cells has already stated and then i see on the one side the rain is ordinary and officials similar to each other have been suffering for they are. financial system and the oil industry which is the science
5:11 am
and the but at the same time ordinary plans are going to be suffering this science is because as we see the venue science and he runs for an industry the price of food is going to rise. and a more perspective on the region in our interview show later this hour the foreign minister says take with us here at r.t. on the military threats against iran's nuclear facilities and also warns that the world faces a catastrophe if it chooses the wrong path quickly look ahead now what's coming. i don't believe these threats are blown out of proportion considering the sources which express these threats of using force they're quite real that we remember israel threatening to attack from the air and indeed israel bombs nuclear missiles in the region in iraq what would keep it from attacking around the same way that this potential development is very dangerous the region will end up on the edge of
5:12 am
an abyss of an unknown depth that with we don't want to hear any military threats against the iranian nuclear facilities or anything else all we want to see is a peaceful development the only thing required from iran is transparency in its nuclear program. thank you he was a little later this hour here and there were the u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton is on a landmark visits a million miles it's the first trip to the country in fifty years by diplomat of such seniority and it's seen as an effort to push for democratic reform there and bring new ties with its leadership another visit follows a decision by president barack obama to open the door to expanded ties with a politically isolated country from nine hundred sixty two until earlier this year me and i was under military rule but is now in a transition to a new civilian government that's part of new reforms or have released over two hundred political prisoners and really censorship shortly before clinton arrived in
