about two to one of the already side some city a law which prohibits sitting or lying on public sidewalks of certain hours of the day with the protesters argument is that the first amendment of the us constitution which guarantees freedom of speech has to outweigh those cv laws and that the sitting has to let them continue exercising their rights but judging by how accurately police had been cracking down on protesters all across america the first amendment doesn't seem to have outweighed anything this latest police raid in san francisco has effectively cleared the city's last remaining occupy protest camp so under different pretenses authorities have been shutting down those camps throughout the country around five thousand peaceful protesters have been arrested in the last three months many occupiers fear that their message could banish together with those hands this monday in order to reenergize this movement they are planning to block major chords on the west coast by marching on u.s.

ports from california to alaska protesters look to call attention to economic inequalities in the country and of financial system they complain is barely tilted towards the wealthy the police reaction that we've seen so far has been arrests of big. gas cap was for a that kind of thing that something that was on the surface something that we could see on t.v. but apparently police. used other methods to deal with the protesters it's been revealed that undercover police officers infiltrated occupy l.a. tent city last month to find out how the protesters plans to resist an eviction and also to spy on people and this one is interesting suspected of stockpiling human weights by the way police firing on people as acquired new dimensions in the u.s. it saves unrelated to the occupy protests but still very interesting police here have made the first known arrests of u.s. citizens with help from a predator drone those five drone that they use in in afghanistan and in packets

that now is used to spy on u.s. citizens privacy advocates say giving police that much power to specially spy on anyone in the u.s. without a warrant could be dangerous and reporting there are now one of the main demands from occupiers is the closer of the gap between those living the high life and those for who are struggling a tough economy is a full time job the latest forecasts are not optimistic though because the gap appears to be widening artes and associates are going to reports from new york. diamonds worth millions of dollars apiece earrings or four hundred to six hundred thousand and the necklace is two million to three million cheaper deals at pawn shops for those slightly less well off and are sometimes shoppers with big wallets looted by the most glamorous items and ninety nine cents stores for customers carol pennies i have for the love it when this is all those who think i don't know

a right to express their own opinions he does sound that he disagrees with these slogans and these statements that were made during these meetings but again he promised that it's all clean so finally she's doing the elections will be count for the investigators meanwhile of the allegations of over at the of votes it fraud said i drew thousands of people into the streets of amman. go and so the rally that took place on saturday was really the culmination of the hold postelection frenzy that we've been observing throughout the last week over the twenty five thousand people gathered on the blog mr ware to voice their demands and the number one demand was a redo the recount of the votes basically people wanted the new elections to take place in russia meanwhile is essential l.x. three committee says that it will not recount the votes and that all other claims should go only through russia's court system meanwhile it people the gathered at

the square said that if their demands are not smart there will gather again in two weeks time to further protest. but of course in the reporting there don't get to visit our website for any stories you have missed it's already dot com and here's some of what's there for you now. ground control to the r.s.s. one more russian satellite goes on duty in orbits of prop up communications between space and travellers and earth plus. trees of discord south korea comes up with a new year nuisance for its northern neighbor it plans to use steel prisoners for use for psychological warfare along one of the world's most militarized borders. the news today violence has once again flared up. these are the images the world

has been seeing from the streets of canada. giant corporations rule the day. now one of the most painful episodes in the history of ukraine is being used by a bank in the u.s. for commercial gain it's offering customers the chance to go shopping with a famine seemed credit card i was here jeff q reports on what's being seen in ukraine as moral outrage. almost a decades on ukraine still mourns those who died in the 1930's famine in the u.s.s.r. known here as the whole of the more and it's a rare example where political forces more used to in fighting put aside their differences to unite in common cause now the ukrainian diaspora in the united states is joining in remembrance in a rather peculiar fashion to the application for the whole of the modern credit card. will be able to allow the south occasion. any one of our branches the

catastrophic nine hundred thirty two nine hundred thirty three famine claimed at least three million lives in ukraine alone with several more million perishing across what is now central russia and kazakstan some one key of insist it was an act of genocide directed against ukrainians most school says it was caused by criminal agricultural policies of stalin's government but those behind the credit card project claim they're driven by remembrance motives only putting all the story debates aside you know what it's another good mechanism to have all of them or remember thanks to the political elite and civil organizations it is well known in ukraine elsewhere besides there are only a few living witnesses left and they're already over eighteen years old. however it's not only about the intangible one percent of each purchase made with a holder more card will be allocated to a special charity fund ukraine's main monuments commemorating the 1930's famine was

built in two thousand and eight amid recession and millions of us dollars were used from the state budget people behind the hole the more credit card project say that the money they raise may be used to build more monuments and memorials this apparently benign initiative however was met with an avalanche of criticism in ukraine and that's not only because there are practically no survivors left who could be helped with the money raised this political analyst says buying groceries with. an inspired card is a blasphemy. the idea is completely immoral it's an attempt to popularize a great tragedy and use it for commercial needs i can only think of a proven tragedy the holocaust but the jews are not putting that on a credit card in fact such an attempt was made by a us company in two thousand and nine the blue card but it had no direct reference to the holocaust and it's not so popular across the atlantic where the whole of the more card will be more successful can be seen when it hits the market in late

december just in time for christmas shopping so let's. see reporting from kiev in ukraine ukraine as part of a commonwealth of states created when the soviet union disintegrated in today's edition of crossed. discuss how the blog is becoming a growing economic force here's a quick preview of what's coming up at eleven thirty am g.m.t. . to washington all for an immediate benefit subsidized energy that's extremely important to using the energy as a political weapon i think we got over that years and that's part of creating a common economic territory each we probably contribute former but i don't consider that a particularly onerous what we're learning from the european union is the main problem is going to be currency. and.

international lenders and inspectors are in greece today to rush out a new one hundred thirty billion euro bailout was a government there is an air of special urgency as shaking your kratz freshly humbled by diplomatic failure at their brussels summit grow desperate to avert a looming meltdown and as r.t.c. work is going off now reports it's all just feeding the flames under the euro cattle. it's not easy running a business even a small one like this german company which produces isolation materials for gas turbines loans taxes salaries competition it's enough to keep any business man's head busy but many still wonder why rules different when it comes to the big buck or in this case the euro and i don't even when a business takes a loan and kunze paid back it announces its bankruptcy i think a state which keeps accumulating debt has to do the same it's no different from

a company in that sense you don't borrow money if you know you can't pay it back but for some reason often this doesn't seem to be the case for the eurozone so let's take greece for example besides billions of euros which have already been allocated to bail it out even leaders have approved yet another tranche the aim is to have athens pay off its three hundred sixty billion euro debt preventing it from going under and taking others with it but many fear the tactic will not work its all about physics review no matter how strong a material is like this piece of metal with the right amount of pressure it will break. and unfortunately for the euro zone the laws of physics are called universal for a reason meanwhile the pressure is rising the latest e.u. summit in brussels showed the economic crisis is creating cracks in the union britain walked out of a deal put forward by germany and france to revise the e.u.

treaty and create a fiscal union with a tighter grip on finances but analysts to warn the integration may take too long with some countries facing a possible referendum on the deal will realize these kind of treaty adjustments will take. years because all parliaments have to prove. so that they will not be on time to address this crisis meanwhile inspectors from the so-called troika which consists of. the european commission the european central bank and the international monetary fund are looking to provide afghans with a new one hundred thirty billion euro bailout i would call it the lying circus the banks who are trying to save their necks who are put on the line with bad loans to corrupt governments and. waiting and expecting european taxpayers to pay their bills especially the bonus bills sure christmas is big in

europe but bailing out of the euro for the sake of the banks is becoming one expensive present the dozens of protests that have rocked the e.u. this year alone are a clear sign of discontent over austerity. and it's highly unlikely the new set of handouts for greece will be greeted with any festive cheer of germany. europe minus the u.k. is now vesting all its hopes on an economic union to dispel the debt troubles but some believe that's really not the miracle cure it's made out to be at a national consultant and author adrian somebody is among them and has taken britain's side believing that the loss of sovereignty will prove to be too much for most. in this particular instance i would tend to favor the british position here because britain from the very beginning of them stood and we still understand far better than european colleagues the importance of national sovereignty and the importance of having a sovereign currency and what europe is now suffering many of the countries

especially the smaller ones there's a problem of sovereignty we will probably start seeing the euro very soon because of thing that people are realizing that the euro is a little bit like a procrustean bed bed which is one size must fit all in greek mythology our stories had made a bit he said anybody who was short of it he would stretch them out breaking bones ensues until he would fit and if he were taller than his he would chop our feet and lives to make sure it would fit so in a way i think going back to greek mythology that they could release is a very case in point where they are trying to impose a one size fits all and we have to understand that in the real world one size does not always. alice take a look at some other stories from around the world patmos former military dictator has returned to the country he once ruled with an iron grip money on their jaeger was taken straight to prison to serve a twenty year sentence for the murders of two opponents during his rule he was extradited from france this sunday and this is the first time they're here has

arab world and the long lasting standoff between the palestinians and israel palestinian m.p. must go to you told r.t. why he thinks the two sides are failing to talk here's a preview of what's ahead in just under ten minutes time. it's not difficult to go to negotiations it's impossible as long as it is allowed to contribute but supplements as long as with the death of the government is the government we have that would be no negotiations it's not just not then you know it's the shift that i among the israeli public with the creation of every new settlement book is that it is killing the very last opportunity. which means they could never dream of something called their view state that is the price that is being. a breeze up today here on our t.v. some of them or there's our web site or two dot com right now that will take
