charlie poole it abolishes the floor which is the rock n roll. is fitting for the job we were doing. getting vocal over the vote thousands marched in moscow and st petersburg with rallies both for and against the outcome of russia's parliamentary elections. and most cases learned of washington's criticisms saying they want to question the choices made by the russian people. and from yesterday's losses both in my six m.b. r.t.s. getting about half a percent this hour more market analysis and business in about fifteen minutes. a treaty install europe's power players to change the fabric of the e.u.

while battered national leaders get ready for a fight as they prepare for a last chance summit. where you are watching r t live from moscow welcome to the program where thousands of people marched in key russian cities on tuesday as both the government supporters and protesters voiced their reaction to sunday's parliamentary election in central moscow opposition protesters complained of alleged voting fraud and faced off with supporters of the majority united russia party correspondent sarah firth reports. well we saw more this passes between the police and protesters last night but again there were the opposition rallies and the pro-government rallies going on in the center of moscow thousands of opposition protesters turning out opposing what they claim were violations and cheering the election but now we saw

a number of arrests made been six hundred detained a month a. little position because some opposition members and some of the opposition parties as well but no doubt have been criticism to something that will be seen as heavy handed tactics by the riot police detaining a lot of these protesters but we do have a point i wasn't on the sanction rally that was happening also not just in most of it another key cities in russia you see in this neighborhood spreading the same people who say quite a number of arrests made last night no way to get into this place election date that we've had hillary clinton calling the elections in russia and i just read. those comments to be slammed by mosco he called them unacceptable saying that the u.s. has she first and foremost be looking to its own electoral system and that is for the russian people to define russia speech at the conclusion of both the

sufficiency or insufficiency of parties is an area of responsibility for the russian authorities not for international organizations if they monitor the quality of elections and violations that's one thing but the issue of the country's political system is none of their business they will soon be telling us how to write our constitution he said there was his foreign ministry also adding that it was a nice move for the us to simply apply cliches without trying to understand properly what's going on within the country you know with the final results expected within a couple of days but it is pretty clear right now what it's going to look like no surprise if the united verses come out in front of the communist party in second place at their russia taking their place. and the liberal democratic party in full now what it wasn't a surprise that united russia came out front what was surprising with the think is they failed to break through that psychological percentage of fifty percent it means they've lost their teeth it's called teaching majority. you know if you're

saying that they gangs be looking to work much more closely with the opposition parties the game has to be making compromises to get more days decisions because that's the public's the ball is everything to do in the result seen by many as reflecting a wider political shift amongst the mood of eight is here in the country. party serafin moscow than what incidentally has been reported that russia's foreign minister has left the final conference meeting of the o.s.c. the organization for security cooperation in europe and so what's been response to america's remarks on russia's elections. well meanwhile to school on this time he's on the sort of on off says sanction protests is the only legal option to demonstrate against an election that's leaving the ruling party in charge well they don't want to break the law they should do it and if they want to get their message from that forward to being. the solution for why.

they set up this going out it's very likely the police and the program the activists there is no means all the profits for money holders we've all the policies in the state you know they already help is not. the constitutional maturity four years they will need to have that sixty six percent still very enough were too slow right now and i think. this. action will be i wouldn't dominated by the not too. well we're closely following the aftermath of sunday's elections and the protests that have been taking place in russia's capital or you tube channel has lined up the latest videos of what's happening you also find updates on our web site of course our r.t. dot com and while you're there you can tell us what you think about the protests.

that you see it as a warm up to bigger protests after next spring the presidential elections so if you are say the rallies are nothing more than just a few dissatisfied people twenty percent put it down to being and they cheer for developing civil society and the rest of the so far today say it's politicians lobbying for attention but tell us how you see it going to r.t. dot com and how do yourself. american anti corporate occupy protesters are being allowed back into a new new orleans park after getting permission from a federal judge although make of that has already called for an investigation into claims of police misconduct in dealing with activists the movement shows no signs of dying down across america with thousands demonstrating nearly three months after the first protest in new york and the heavy police presence isn't being scaled back either as a report now reports. when the very people employed to protect americans. leave thousands with bruised bodies. burned eyes. locked behind

bars for tasting their own blood. the land of the free adopts an entirely new image problem. for the world working for them. are you going to work. for him. off the floor. in recent months u.s. police officers have made an enemy. of those citizens using their freedom of speech to protest against corporate greed and corrupt politics today's breed of american law enforcement is dressed in riot gear and armed with heavy weaponry body armor flash bangs tear gas and lethal projectiles. as tens of thousands of americans assemble cops have been accused of creating confrontation not

diffusing it. never sat on. a level of police brutality so bad a former marine sergeant couldn't stay silent was. a word better in who survived two tours in iraq was seriously injured by local police officers using flash grenades canisters against occupy protesters but you knew that you know twenty four year old scott olsen was hospitalized with serious head injuries. in seattle the oldest victim of the police turned paramilitary was an eighty four activist temporarily blinded by pepper spray the united states which bills itself as the pillar of international law and democratic fur. dom's has consistently placed itself on the world stage as the self-appointed beacon of moral authority we call upon the iranian government to abide by the international

obligations that it has to respect the rights of its own people instead of respecting the rights of his own people. without the chose the path of brutal suppression. innocent civilians were imprisoned and in some cases beaten meanwhile at home as dissent in america grows louder many say washington's glasshouse of hypocrisy has shown beautiful symmetry they want people to be able to have freedom of speech but they don't want that freedom to interfere with them in any way to be in any way disruptive or challenging to them the line that traditionally separated u.s. soldiers from civilian law enforcement has arguably been overeats placed by what's being dubbed the american military's these police tactics hot chicks were for lack of nature in the foundation of american principles such as democracy and human

rights incidentally the same principles you asked you. all other countries about bring up or not artsy new york. but on the way free from a dictator but far from prosperity we report on how libyans are trying to piece their lives back together keeping their weapons close to hand. it is facing immense pressure to come up with a decisive rescue plan to its worst ever debt crisis summit in brussels later this week is considered the last chance for the euro e.u. leaders are expected to pour over the french and german leaders idea to revise that this been treaty two thousand and nine agreement which we organized how the entire works sarkozy and chancellor merkel want to tighten controls on the power to impose cuts on bailed out members. well greece at the epicenter of the crisis has just approved of next year's austerity measures. too little too late for some but.

it's crisis time for the euro with a vital e.u. leaders summit on friday in brussels which could determine the theat of the single currency there has to be a quick solid fix of this instability and political conflict. some kind of a common basis between especially france and germany in the next days or weeks or we're going to see a systemic crisis erupted out of this which would be i think to no one's interests yet more problems with u.s. readings agency standard and poor's downgrade ing six eurozone members state why the markets are now so alarmed is that the market down me also include the two economic powerhouses germany and france there isn't really see the huge of the euro zone's as fiscal union centralizing economic control over sovereign budgets they blame the crisis on a lack of discipline with some member states breaking budget rules and running up

huge deficits but some critics say this is precisely the wrong approach. the members that have become part of the eurozone project are very much different from one another and cannot provide a common homogenous currency space that's what has become so obvious under the present situation now they want to resolve the problem by introducing more centralization centralization is the root cause of the problem. up to know the use rescue strategy has been based on patching up the weakest economy with bailouts which some say is merely a band-aid solution and the wrong medicine for a terminally ill patient. germany. the eurozone however so i'll say it. ain't. trying to rearrange chairs thinking ship the fiscal union q is no quick fix and also could open up

a new minefield as it needs domestic political approval across the e.u. to revise the lisbon treaty the blocks effective constitution and rule book london has already warned of a veto if its interests are threatened while hostility towards europe e.u. citizens suffering austerity measures to be banks and reckless governments could mean stiff opposition as well as anger losing domestic control over national budget yet another obstacle for france and germany they know they have already lost the battle so we are in a prison a dilemma that people have taken the wrong decisions from the very beginning. they don't want to get to the public that they are wrong and that they have been wrong because if they admit this they would have to step down right away the fate of the euro has occupied the headlines for most of the year but the feel you to stem the mounting difficulties puts friday's summit in a different light the end is nine for good or for bad with most observers saying

this crisis is nearing its day of reckoning. r.t. for germany well if there's one thing that's been repeatedly called for during the drawn out here crisis it's leadership frank schaefer from germany is a free democratic party says it's time you leaders took full responsibility for the economists warn that the next hour ahead. in the meantime the credit ratings agencies are taking matters into their own hands by threatening most states with a downgrade for economists indecision on friday will be much worse to come and not just in europe the alert means is that there's a fifty fifty chance that a downgrade action will be taken in the next ninety days if there isn't some kind of action to ameliorate the problems if we saw anything like the fifteen nation downgrade downgrades of france and germany that are bundled into that as well as

austria we would have an event much larger than lehman brothers that would cascade to the global markets and would push a teetering and very vulnerable european monetary union into true crisis as well as sending a very damaging shockwave to the global economy and global financial markets the e.c.b. the i.m.f. sovereign policymakers in many of european countries believed and conducted themselves as though they had more time than they did while the financial markets screamed out as did critics if you don't have more time you don't have more time and they kind of leisurely looked at their watches and tried to do what was good for them domestically politically and acted like they had time that there was every indication did not actually exist. the new libyan government has vowed to see all the dishes out of the capital by the end of the month police has been flooded with former rebels ever since they stormed into colonel gadhafi noticed since the dictator is killing the libyans are rebuilding their lives but since i've seen the boy reports challenges still learn head. after months of waking up to gunfire

residents of tripoli now have to get used to a new alarm until the city of two million people has an extensive rooster population and the birds have all but three place to rifle chatter at the heralds of the million dollar. there was no exchange of gunfire the situation is ok. while the revolutionary rush has spared hardly any wall in tripoli people here are clearly fatigued by eight months of civil war this may be a deliberate complete it's very few wanted to break free from the obligations of the old regime on the surface it seems that the normal whole life in tripoli has been restored a city where many homes didn't have access to face to face life in few months ago already has its fountains up and running but the new leafy is still facing the danger of running in wrong in this shallow waters of international politics much of its absence remain frozen limiting the government's ability to pay salaries and it

has already become a major part of the revolutionary spirit we first met muhammad in august on the frontlines of bani walid one of the final strongholds of the get out here regime a former and nearing student he joined two of his brothers in what he says was a win or die fight for freedom because at the beginning everything was absolutely peaceful there were no guns we want to freedom and fairness but then the dictator used gone far against us and we lost money on rebels three months later mohammad is definitely in the driver's seat revels of the country's new heroes popular with women and the public at large if not with a rifle by his side mohammad would be like a twenty seven year old in any country cruising around on a saturday night is good. and it's not like he was underprivileged under gadhafi regime he certainly leaves in a three hundred square. their house in the prestigious area of tripoli they see the

revolution has brought them along the way to democracy but is yet to translate into concrete benefits we had free education on health care on the gadhafi of course we expected to remain free but it also needs to be improved the new authorities also have to decrease prices and raise salaries so that ordinary people can join all the benefits of the revolution. here exactly how the new government can afford to do so in a country a ruling by war and stripped of much of its budgetary income is every bit as good as the forty two years of get his rule had told libyans to rely on government for just about everything and the level of expectations in the new york authorities is very high. i have big plans for my life in a year or so god willing i want to finish my education get a good job and save enough money to mari it's all become possible for us now. and in national economies i'm not so. i think the fact that they were willing to

destabilize a regime that had demonstrably one of the highest living standards in north africa goes to show the fact that they were not so interested in what benefited the people as a whole in the first place they were more interested in forming their their economic ties to two american oil companies yet for the moment the future seems breivik not please because it's also very blurred actually where you are to see tripoli. but many more updates and a lot of sis are online for you at r.t. dot com has some of what we're covering for you there today that mission failed american attempts to snoop on iran from the skies are dashed after a cia spy dragged down to attention delivering some top secret information to tehran in the process. also online today the toxic terrible reportedly breaking from japan's stricken nuclear reactor forty five tons of radioactive water may have seeped into the ocean expert analysis of.

this stunning author really thinks the airstrike was deliberate and poorly calculated. the knew it was a pakistani trick because they had been given the maps they knew it wasn't a mistake it targeted it and they bombed it and it's created a complete crisis within the pakistani military and in the country it's large it's d's stabilizing the one institution in that country which has held it together for good or for bad largely for the bad that's the pakistani military what they're trying to do are they're trying to instigate a civil war in pakistan prior to direct intervention and occupation i can't quite believe that because it's not going to be easy so it it's a weak leader rash act whether it was all prized by washington or whether it was a local decision i don't know well who did it didn't do the united states any faith that's. but more world news for you now and to the border between israel and the
