eleven am in moscow you are watching our t.v. arena joshie welcome to the program now some of the largest yet i'll get by protests have erupted across america paralyzing its west coast from the block port of oakland to the shipping hub of seattle thousands upon thousands of disenchanted occupy movement activists have taken to the streets in defiance of a police crackdown our correspondent janet should count as more from washington d.c. seattle police used flash bang grenades to disperse protesters who blocked an entrance to an order yeah don't go so what he always said multiple people have been arrested they did not specify how many of those those protests were part of a national effort to block the way it's a west coast for traffic thousands took to move to go forwards from california. to

alaska to this to disrupt what they describe as an economic machine that benefits the wealthiest individuals and corporations and that's pretty much that's been the occupiers message from the very beginning they marched on boards in san diego los angeles oakland portland seattle tacoma anchorage in alaska the protesters cared for in need managed to disrupt the work of those major ports on the west coast in oakland the port there was almost entirely shut down same in portland in l.a. they effectively blocked trucks from approaching the board by doing that the occupiers spoke to keep the message of the movement alive as they say to save their targeting corporate greed and government complicity now a bit about why court the protesters say they want to cling to the profits of goldman sachs goldman sachs owns half of one of the world's largest transportation

and shipping out for the occupiers it's a way to make a point to get back at this huge bank which has very much contributed to the financial crisis in new york occupy or so marched in solidarity with their fellow protesters on the west coast they took their message to goldman sachs directly marching around the banks a little lower manhattan headquarters almost two dozen people got arrested during you know what looked like a peaceful demonstration there in houston same solidarity demonstrations twenty people arrested so far as already said being quite successful in cracking down on those peaceful protesters across the united states this man pulling their cameras of making demonstrators around five thousand more than five thousand peaceful protesters have been arrested in the last three months of those arrests the only meat you can be how live anymore that's what it seems like it seems to be hope to have become business as usual does. demonstrators get arrested every week over the

weekend seventy people were arrested in san francisco now as occupiers are being forced out of their occupy locations in parks and plazas all across america and members of the movement want to make sure that their message doesn't vanish together with those cameras there. now you can follow the latest updates on what's happening across the west coast right now our correspondent who is on twitter and she's tweeting constantly about what she's seeing and these latest protests have come as a surprise to many who predicted that was the demise of occupy towns the movement would fall away but philippe messina a journalist who's been covering the group believes the police crackdown has been a trial by fire and protesters passed with flying colors. after an incubation period with the occupy movement really messaging and getting the message out across the country following the media blackout they began ridiculing it then they cannot

be ignored the police cracking down on the organiser the effort across the country . with them happening for example and other across the country is the people who are taking action for their own hands and they're really sending a message to the system through the power brokers in the country of business as usual mark today will be another mass showing of power and solidarity our movement for the. old across the west coast. and coming up later in the program here in our team europe's financial crisis drags on the british prime minister explains his veto to parliament as greece goes cap in hand staring inspectors once more. hope springs eternal ukraine's former prime minister tries to avoid a seven year sentence for abuse of power at the country's highest appeal court and

its reports she's a very bad hell. the race for the presidency in russia has taken a new twist the country's third richest man says he is running for the country's top job in march businessmen proffer of ousted from the leadership of the right wing right cos party ahead of the recent parliamentary poll is optimistic about his second attempt in politics largely sarah ferguson has more let's cross live to her cause you stared out front of previously as we know expressed his intention to become prime minister and now he's running for president so how does he explain his decision. well mikhail prokhorov cooled his decision to join the race for the presidency perhaps the most important of his life now it was an unexpected move from the russian billionaire he made his money in finance and metals it's estimated that he's the third richest man in russia and in the past he's the has been better known for buying an american basketball team and for his exploits as russia's most

eligible bachelor but in recent times we've seen him playing the political field in the summer and he agreed to lead the right cause party is a new political movement aimed at businessmen and intellectuals though he quit that in september and he said that he's been preparing for his presidential bid in the months since that business split he also said he'd be. at the middle class's his cool electorates now he'll be running as an independent candidate in the presidential elections will be happening in march of course his announcement coming against the backdrop of tens of thousands of people taking to the streets on the weekend to demolish a rerun of the parliamentary elections now this happened last week and we saw a full party win seats in the dream of united russia the communist party affair russia and the liberal democratic party now president medvedev is going to be meeting the leaders from these parties later on today in

a place election meeting and of course we'll be keeping the state and all the latest information from that as it when it happens absolutely sara thanks very much indeed for bringing us to still be there for more here in central moscow. and brother of chances of victory are uncertain but some analysts say at the very least he'll bring some fresh blood into the presidential race. board interesting because he's a very good mathematician he's a finance here he's a businessman he's a sports personality he's internationalist so therefore he's a name that people will recognize and he would bring some. useful vigor if you like to the proceedings one would expect him to articulate some views from a purely economic point of view we haven't much experience of politics but you could argue about finance you can argue about the way ahead for russia he may in fact attract the new urban class of the young professionals the under thirty five's and so on they want a voice and. made fact off of that but of course being an extremely rich man he's

not going to attract the poorest population so i would say it was really going for the new middle class young professionals of the people who would like to be like. later our business desk takes a look at these facts of spreads and job it has had on his financial into prizes she says of the companies of the russian billionaire macau proper off dropped off to he announced he was going to bid for presidency in russia. and stakes in several companies including. a major holding all to see you both gold three percent on monday and l b c dropped around nine percent where they did manage to cover some of its losses although they didn't have much of an impact on the russian soft market because profit company is no think in the list of top people that don't have multi thousand ten minutes in the business but that's. how the war in iraq is coming to an end says brock obama whether withdraw of u.s.

troops to conclude then we he was speaking at a joint news conference with iraq's prime minister who's on an official visit to washington obama says the troops are leaving a sovereign and solve for a while in iraq but iraqis say after almost a decade of occupation their country is simply cast adrift as artist sean thomas now reports of two thousand and eleven draws to an end and historical chapter for iraq and the us is finishing as well the occupation is over. i'm glad that the americans are leaving who are still concerned because after the troops leave we do not know what will happen next meanwhile despite all the efforts by the u.s. there is doubt that anything significant has been accomplished in implementing a new form of democratic government but i think that's right. roy said. the old system is that. it is the appropriate. thing for the state which is more done. so i don't think

that's what approach for generations iraq has been plagued by sectarian violence now moving forward there is. cerny whether different parties can agree to work together for the benefit of the country and the problem of the with the us and horses but i know. for sure that the from the folks that pick. up now the problem. why did the transit voted to come. listen to me and this is what we are so as of now there is a fear that an ineffective government will leave the country vulnerable to outside influences get out of the country having to be doing that to get out of the state medical leave i think was a bit of a noble country and if. you put it like it is a very loyal and i know it will. i think done the phone thing but there

is no need to one of the problems here in iraq is that the infrastructure it was already crumbling but as the conflict progressed it was all but destroyed now the people living here say there's a lot of rhetoric about rebuilding but that the political infighting and corruption is blocking any real progress the military getting very big footing and i thought that in the same time will not see yet another new projects people here. to see the see the security just little is that the this is a critical and beyond the political challenges there has been an exodus of critical thinkers and educated talent in the country a much needed resource for any developing nation we need people working in need to say well if you keep. anything. we need not you still believe i'm ready to go on the fire because. i'm ready cause i think.

you'll build a new economy one of the book the one for kate sure ok we will leave but you'll come to me. leaving iraqis in a position of continued reliance on american resources in baghdad sean thomas party . the founder of the future of freedom foundation jacob hornberger told r.t. that iraq is will never put out with a regime brought into power by invaders this nine year war and occupation has been an absolute disaster you killed countless number of people with this invasion occupation you've got us regime that is dictatorial in every sense of the word there incarcerating people without trial hold in that men definitely i mean it's part of a dictatorship that just happens to be democratically elected and there's people there that are never going to accept a regime that came into existence complements of a foreign empire that went in there invaded it without any cause and then what

happens with it if iraq decides to go totally independent and oppose the u.s. government then what happens with all those arm is just another recipe for a giant mess. now r.t. has spoken to a former indian ambassador to iraq who thinks the u.s. was drawing troops from the country does not mean and to washington's presence the full interview is coming up for you next hour but here is a preview. i don't. actually i think just shuffle off the cards so as to speak because the americans not going very far they're just going with mexico and you can always come back because the bases will be kept intact and as i mentioned the twenty thousand strong u.s. embassy most of the stuff except for that always be there and secondly they have made sure that there is no law air force so they don't control the.

very thing. that you can be in force whenever you want oh you. it's of course all day for the former ukrainian premier you are tymoshenko on tuesday it's her last chance to escape seven years of prison as a country's highest appeal court is set to hear her tam to overturn a conviction for abuse of power or to ask explains what the iron lady of your cranium politics is hoping for. experts are speculating how long it may take for the ukraine appeal court to deliver its decision on the appeal against the verdict of yulia tymoshenko ukraine's former prime minister in fact it is unclear whether it may take several days but we do understand that the essential part of the hearings is starting today on tuesday experts are also speculating what their verdict what the decision by the appeal court would be and most likely they say the

court will deny the appeal against the verdict on october the eleventh the country's former prime minister was sentenced to seven years in prison for abusing her power during signing gas deals with russia back in two thousand and nine the move which infuriated both the european union and russia which said that all those laws were all those agreements were signed in full accordance with the countries with the two countries legislation and the european union said that unless you are freed there will be no agreement on the association between the european union and ukraine signed any time soon now experts are also speculating whether they could be other reasons for you to be freed from the detention center where she has been for the last four and a half months for poor health may be one of the reasons for the authorities to make such a decision it is understood it is believed that has a very serious diseases. spinal hemorrhage and also possibly some.

sources report of blood disease. and that's why she's feeling bad she can't even walk as some sources say she has to be carried by armed guards whenever she's been taken out of her cell in a detention center now the sentence for abuse of power which she has already received is not the only accusation towards the country's former prime minister we also know of other. cases against her including the texas. including the unlawful usage of money received by ukraine from the signing of the kyoto protocol and also several cases have been launched against connection with her business fifteen years ago when she ran the united energy systems of ukraine company. tell me as a day to log on to our website r.t. dot com if you missed something we are covering it's the best place to get all the updates comments and analysis here's

a quick look at what can be found there at the moment. so you can find out how a post office chief in moscow risked her life to make sure local pensioners gather when their payments this by the shot by raiders. also secret no more iran says it will design a new spy craft based on a brand new american stealth drone it shot down over the country earlier this month . british prime minister david cameron has taken a stand in parliament to the family is firm now new european union treaty changes were not of the country's interest and lavish official financial save guards in southern europe debt ridden greece and italy were out of meetings with international stary inspectors seeking an new tranche of a dead historian and author in the nurse says the latest rescue attempts the euro zone is just heading further into crisis. what we were doing is driving us deeper into a depression and we've now entered what is in effect the second great depression

and just as happened in the nineteenth thirty's europe's leaders are repeating the mistakes that deepened the depression in the thirty's which is to deflate in a crisis in a crisis you have to do the opposite if you do you if you impose austerity if you reduce demand you will drive the european economy deeper into deeper into mass unemployment deeper into mass impoverishment and that's the road in which they're moving. is about removing any kind of democratic accountability and putting in place a system whereby there will be sanctions imposed on states that exceed their budgets that don't reduce their deficits that don't pay off their debts in other words the unelected e.u. officials will be overriding the democracy of the working people in europe you know with the drive through the austerity cuts to. public services pensions benefits

wages. and morgan i forecast coming up on the kaiser report in around ten minutes from now banking big shots should take cover and here's a quick taster. he was on bloomberg this week and he was asked about this whole euro zone crisis and what he's doing and basically yes it's going to fall apart he believes that the presenter asked him do you own dollars then instead of euros and look at his response. i have a very special dog keep for you. the same police. i don't know what i prefer to. it's jumped on my bandwagon you know since two thousand and three i've been ninety percent gold and silver that's what we've been telling people to do it's worked out with this past decade it'll work the same with the next decade.

watching r t now google is as a center of a spy scandal the internet giant is accused of compromising u.s. national security that's because one of its maps application shows a classified airbase used for testing top secret military drones investigative journalist ross baker thinks this case exposes washington's hypocrisy. what the news organizations that that spotted this saw and have published is a photo that very clearly shows what seems to be a drone the super secret drone on a secret air base near yucca lake in nevada and of course this is the type of technology that the united states government is desperately trying to keep away from prying eyes we know with this recent development with iran having commandeered and then taken down

a drone and now they're reverse engineering it and learning about all the parts that then governments are under pressure like never before how are they going to keep their secrets governments themselves are extremely hypocritical they want to know everything about us and of course those drones are doing the exact same thing that the google satellites are doing they're zooming all the way in and they can actually see people's be equals and who's doing what you're taking pictures of everything so they want to be able to essentially prying into everyone's lives and have no one brought into what they're doing. now as you look at some other stories from around the world canada is the first country to pull out of the landmark one thousand nine hundred seventy zero climate change agreement the accord made it industrial nations to curb greenhouse gas emissions to reduce the rate of global warming the kyoto agreement will be substitute it with another global treaty which the un drop on sunday will take effect by twenty twenty at the latest.

a government that may be more akin to the jordanian government more it came to what was in egypt prior to his downfall government that would not not support resistance against israel a government that would work towards a peace agreement with israel a government that would open up its economies fully for the united states while we have today here in r t let's see what's happening in the world of business case here. welcome to the business program here and i'll say all my barthes is all the scope of the all my wild many users worldwide have seen that day so why doubt why a single piece of malware but what else it is of course is the now increasingly targeting corporate level computer systems as l.t.e. is correspondent michael expands now a virus is used to be created by disgruntled teenagers or so-called hacktivists the level of virus we're seeing nowadays definitely carries
