a lot of police activity in the last three months against the 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 out numbering 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 outwait those city laws and that the city 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 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 and evictions mainly occupiers fear that their message could banish together with those hands this monday in order to reenergize this movement they're planning to block major chords on the west coast by marching on u.s. courts from california to alaska protesters look to call attention to the inequalities in the country and

a financial system that they complain is unfairly killed were while the. well she's going to reporting right now we've got to more on what's fueling the occupy marchers and that's coming your way later in the program here on c.n.n. . we have the number one we have the most extreme inequality between rich and poor and it's scattered all over that we report on how poverty and prosperity go side by side in new york and how the gap between the two is only getting wider. nearly ten minutes past the hour here in moscow international austerity inspectors the so-called troika are in greece to put in place a second lifeline if the debt ridden country. voided default in december after received a vital cash injection but still remains at risk of this all out to crack so widening in the e.u. after what's considered a major divorce between britain and other members of the brussels summit in recent days r.t. if you could put off reports. 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 book or in this case the euro. when a business takes a loan and kunz paid back in 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 hurt athens pay off its three hundred sixty billion euro debt preventing it from going and taking others with it but many fear the tactic will not work it's 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 this year a package will take until march to implement and i think in the meantime the eurozone in particular the mediterranean countries are extremely vulnerable indeed and i do not discount the a breakdown of the markets will overwhelm the whole euro problem and that the us.

as own countries in the e.u. institutions will find themselves simply not big enough to cope with it 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 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 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 likely the new set of

handouts for greece will be greeted with a festive cheer. or g. germany. now david cameron's no to the e.u. fiscal agreement received a mixed reaction at home the prime minister enjoyed a hero's welcome from his conservative party but the decision deeply disappointed deputy prime minister nick clegg later on monday cameron was trying to defend his actions in parliament international consultant and author adrian is on the side of the prime minister believing the loss of sovereignty the e.u. deal entails will prove to be too much for some. in this particular instance i would tend to favor the british position here because britain from the very beginning understood and we still understand far better than the european colleagues the importance of national sovereignty and the importance of having a summer in 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 course trees had made a bit he said anybody who was short of it he would stretch them out breaking bones and soon was until he would fit and if you were taller than his he would chop your 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. and a time to get your opinion known here on r.t. on our website r.t. dot com we are interested in on what you think be done to save the struggling eurozone bringing up the stats right here here's how you voting so far most think that monetary union should simply be dissolved nearly a fifth says the eurozone should expel the weakest members fourteen percent support sanctions imposing financial discipline and even r.t.

if you think a single currency requires a single government log on to r.t. dot com have your say. a famine themed credit card is hitting the u.s. markets just in time for holiday shopping but it relates to one of the most painful episodes in ukraine's history when millions of people starved to death across the soviet union with an estimated three million lives claimed in just ukraine alone and as artie's alexia shafting reports there are many in kiev who view the move as america's attempt to cash in on tragedy. 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 them are quite

a card. will be able to allow the south asian traffic any one of them for answers 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 schools as 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 a mammal 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 if 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. see reporting from kiev in ukraine the ukraine is part of a commonwealth of states created when the soviet union disintegrated in today's edition of crosstalk people discuss what the members gain from being part of the bloc here's a preview of what's coming your way in just a few hours time here on r.t. . washington all for an immediate benefit subsidized energy that's extremely important to using energy as a political weapon i think we've got over the years and that's part of creating a common economic territory each we probably contributes former and i don't consider that a particularly. what we're learning from the european union is the main problem is going to be currency.

here is coming to you live from moscow that one of the main demands of occupy protesters in the u.s. is a reduction in the division between the filthy rich and the struggling poor however as i see it and i study it chuck and i reports poverty and prosperity still live side by side on the streets of america. 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 aggressive shoppers with big wallets lured in by the most glamorous items and ninety nine cents stores where customers count pennies happen a lot when this is all change i'm thinking i don't know why penny and i get in there in the state of new york it's home to around nineteen million people

it's worth three hundred eighty thousand millionaires and seventy billion as live meanwhile three million people on food stamps new york city is split into two different worlds the richest and poorest districts in the united states are right here economic inequality in the big apple has reached crisis levels the gap used to be between the rich and the poor it's now the tween the super rich and increasingly the super poor people who are just not making it in our society in the what it's trying to help them luxury for those who can afford it is a plenty auction houses tempt the rich with the most exquisite jewelry the finest interiors and one of a kind cosmetics services it's going rejuvenation it's very private. used to be invitation only. it is the most innovative skin care business in the world prosperity and poverty brushing by each other on

a daily basis thirty years ago the united states had less in the quality than most other advanced industrial countries today thirty years later we are the number one we have the most extreme inequality between rich and poor and it's scattered all over the country although many seem to be blissfully unaware i think they want to go get jobs and there's a lot of jobs if you really want to work you can find work the seventy five year old. grandmother of seven fixing her old car with her own bare hands begs to differ folks seem to think that you know somebody everybody can get a job. these days even if you can get some make me mother snipes works at a church and knows the face of poverty all too well what was done to you know i mean some people are you know. except you know when you get it you get. sad b.c. although very visible in new york the extreme gap between those well off and those

struggling is a trend all across the us this is what made occupy wall street protests spill out and stick around on the streets of america make those who have done real well over the over the last thirty years. give some of that back that's why some of us argue for taxes on rich rich people in this country but this is not happening any time soon more than half of the members of congress are millionaires so they're very wealthy people and all their campaigns are funded by big corporations by the wealthy they know that if they want to get reelected they're going to have to be good to the people who are giving money to their campaign this leaves behind those in need. but nothing left but to hope for a miracle this holiday season. and it's our duty. to remember that you can always find more stories comments and analysis on our website let's have a look that right now twenty four seven
