worldwide news twenty four hours a day this is the line from moscow with me. police have torn down the last remaining occupy camp in san francisco arresting fifty five people for illegal lodging the ten being cleared several times but sprung up again when the main occupy encampment in the city was demolished on wednesday. and now has more on this . we've seen a lot of police activity in the last three months against this occupy movement which has been generally a very peaceful movement it doesn't seem to be new saying the more we hear about dozens of arrests every week we've seen the latest surge on surge of arrests on the west coast fifty five people were arrested over the weekend in san francisco they were protesting in front of a federal reserve building cuddled up on the sidewalk

a witness said there had been no hands or structures over night the protesters were rustled out of their sleeping bags with cops outnumbering demonstrators by about two to one of the already side some city a law which prohibits sitting or lying on public sidewalks at 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 city laws and that the city has to let them continue exercising their rights but judging by how accurately police said 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 ports on the west coast by marching on u.s. sports from california to alaska protesters look to call attention to economic inequalities in the country and of financial system they complain is unfairly tilted towards the wealthy the police reaction that we've seen so far has been arrests of big. big chains tear gas cap was spray 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 argue by at least ten city last month to find out how the protesters plans to resist then addiction and also to spy on people and this one is interesting suspected of stockpiling human weights by the way police spying on people is acquiring new dimensions in the u.s.

it's 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 pakistan now it 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. that is going extra can report. one of the main demands from occupiers is the closure of the gap between those living the high life than those who are struggling in a tough economy as a full time job the latest forecasts are not optimistic though because the gap appears to be widening to use an associate reports from new york. diamonds worth millions of dollars apiece the earrings are 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. shoppers with big wallets lured in by

a miracle this holiday season. and from the sun squalor of new york to a debt ridden your rocker see the. bureaucrats and bankers head to athens just days off then leaders fail to push through a deeply unpopular economic union which is already tearing the block apart more on that ahead for you in the. nearly ten minutes past the hour here in moscow russia's president to me treatment yet as ordered a probe into all allegations of fraud during the parliamentary election just a week ago thousands of opposition protesters. cross russia held rallies over the claims calling for a complete rerun of the poll but in a caution about reports. president dmitry me days of issued a direct order to carefully investigate all claims of violations using the

parliamentary elections of the pulses on of facebook that he was quite satisfied with the way the rally ones especially how peaceful and well are being nice to the word he also said that according to the constitution every russian citizen has to be a freedom of gathering and also be a right to express their own opinions he does sound that he disagrees with these slogans and this statements that were made during these meetings but again he promised dad's all claim so finally says during the elections will be counted for the investigators meanwhile of the allegations over the of voted for all its drew thousands of people into the streets of moscow and so the rally that took place on saturday was really the culmination of the whole postelection frenzy that we've been observing throughout the last week over the twenty five thousand people who gather it's on the blog missed where two boys their demands and the number one

demand was the really the recount of the votes basically people wanted the new elections to take place in russia meanwhile of essential elocutionary committee says that it will not recount the vote and that all other claims should go only through russia's court system meanwhile it people that gathered at the square said that if their demands are not smart they will gather again in two weeks time to further problem to oust. what has been a question of reporting right there what i forgot to visit our website any stories you may have missed of course dot com some of the items are waiting for there right now grown control to the i.s.o.'s one more russian satellite goes on duty in orbit by about. the clouds to prop up communications between space travelers and. also trees of discord south korea comes up with a new year new since first northern neighbor plans to use steel christmas trees for

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 market credit card. will be able to allow the south asian traffic and one of our branches the catastrophic nine hundred thirty to 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 someone give 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 his story debates aside you know what it's another good mechanism to have all of them or

remember that 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. a famine inspired card is a blasphemy if the idea is completely immoral it's an attempt to popularize the

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 u.s. 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 let's. see reporting from kiev in ukraine where ukraine is part of a commonwealth of states created when the soviet union disintegrated in today's edition of cross talk discuss how the block is becoming a growing economic force now a quick preview of what's coming your way and slightly less than fifteen minutes. or she can offer an immediate benefit subsidize the energy that's extremely

important to using energy as a political weapon i thought we got over that years ago that's part of creating a common economic territory each we probably contributes former but i don't consider that a particularly onerous we're learning from the european union is the main problem is going to be currency. and. if you want to. quarter past the hour now here in the russian capital international lenders and the e.u. inspectors are in greece today to thrash out a new one hundred thirty billion euro bailout for the government there's an air of special agent see as shaken euro kratz freshly humbled by a diplomatic failure at their brussels summit desperate to avert a looming meltdown and the saudis you go to is going to 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 are rules different when it comes to the big book or in this case the euro. when a business takes a loan and country 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 and 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 news to her athens paid 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 the 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 and 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 toward the integration leap me take too long with some countries facing a possible referendum on the deal to 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 and 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 athens with a new one hundred thirty billion euro bailout i would call it a lying circus the banks who are trying to save their necks who were put on the line with bad loans to corrupt governments and now the waiting and expecting the european taxpayers to pay their bills especially the bonus bills sure christmas is big in europe but billing 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 endless bailouts and it's highly unlikely the new set of handouts for greece will be greeted with anything to cheer . or g. germany. europe minus the u.k. is now vesting all of its hope on an economic union to dispel the debt troubles but

some believe that's not really the miracle cure that it's made out to be international consultant and author adrian. among them siding now with britain believing that the loss of sovereignty will prove to be too much from. 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 the 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 is 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 shorter than it he would stretch him out breaking bones and soon was until he would fit and if he were taller than his fed 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 fit all. well before we get to the business news here on our to top of the world update some other international headlines from around the world for you in. pakistani officials say u.s. forces have left their bases in the southwest of the country that they were using to service drones the last flight carrying personnel and equipment left shamsie base this sunday is all about had ordered the americans out in response to strikes last month which accidentally killed twenty four pakistani soldiers. heavy storms and flooding in eastern australia cut off several roads causing havoc in the region in the worst affected areas residents used to sandbag defenses and attempts to save their property but this comes amid forecasts of further downpours to come in november heavy rains partially swamped the region trapping people in their cars.
