those hands there. and you can follow the latest updates on what's happening across the west coast right now our correspondent lizzie assad is on twitter and she's tweeting constantly about what she's seeing these latest protests have come as a surprise to many who predicted that was the demise of occupy tan's 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 it with flying colors after an incubation period with the occupy movement really messaging and getting the message our across the country defying the media blackout and then they began ridiculing it then they cannot be ignored the police cracking down on the board made their first across the country and now from what's been happening in october for example and other across the country is the people who are taking action into their own hands and they're really sending

a message to the system through the power brokers in the country that business as usual the market today will be another mass showing of power and for there to buy the occupy movement for shut down. and bold across the west coast. and coming up later in the program here on our t.v. europe's financial crisis drags on the british prime minister explained his e.u. treaty veto to parliament as greens goes cap in hand to hysteria spector's once more. also hope springs eternal ukraine's former prime minister challenges her seven year sentence for abuse of power at the country's highest appeal court and reports she's a very bad health. now the race for the presidency in russia has taken a new twist the country's third richest man says he's running for the country's top job in march businessman we have brought her ousted from the leadership the right wing right cos party ahead of the recent parliamentary poll is optimistic about the

second attempt and big politics are just there for has more. 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 he agreed to lead the right course party as a new political movement a businessman and intellectuals now he quit in september and he said that he's been preparing for his presidential bid in the months since the split he also said he'd be a big at the middle class is his call electorates now 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 weekends to demand a rerun of the parliamentary elections. happened last week and we saw a full party win seats in the 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 post-election meeting and of course we'll be keeping the state and all the latest information from that as it when it happens so for us reporting there now proper of chances of victory are uncertain but some analysts say at the very least he'll bring some fresh blood into the presidential race. it makes it more interesting because he's a very good mathematician these are finance here he's a businessman he's a sports personality he's internationalist so therefore he's a name that people would 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 he hasn'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 class of the young professionals the under thirty five's and so on they want a voice. 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. well they are our business das takes a look at these that proper of presidential bid has had on these financial enterprises. companies by mikhail prokhorov dropped all to him now as he was going to bid for president say hey in russia the companies include party ross gold holding a see all of us gold lost three percent on monday. nine percent however did manage

to call them a small says although is didn't think much of a difference in how much of an impact on the russian stock market as parts companies are not listed in the top performers who have more market moves and tennis in the business but. i mean time the war in iraq is coming to a chance as brock obama whether withdraw of u.s. troops set to conclude was within weeks and he was speaking at a joint news conference whether iraq's prime minister who's on an official visit to washington obama says the troops are leaving a sovereign and self-reliant iraq but iraqis see after almost a decade of occupation their country simply cast adrift on thomas now reports. as two thousand and eleven draws to an end and historical chapter for iraq and the u.s. 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 i think that's right you know. the old system. in this book the pope in. all things. which is more than. set down. that's for generations iraq has been plagued by sectarian violence now moving forward there is concern whether different parties can agree to work together for the benefit of the country the problem with the u.s. forces. but i know. for sure that part of the from the folks that pick. up know the problem and fight to determine that voted. for the patient they need and this is what we are so 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 the political infighting and corruption is blocking any real progress on the military is getting very big vote and i think but in the same time we will not see yet other new projects going people here and if it isn't the the c b c community just detailed it is that the this is a difficult 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 that education really everything so we need not you still believe i'm ready to go on with her confidence in the store because i think. you'll build a new kind of company one of the book doing ok sure ok we will leave but you'll

come to me i know leaving you brocky he's in a position of continued reliance on american resources in baghdad sean thomas by two. has a founder of the future of freedom foundation jacob hornberger told r.t. that iraq is will never put up with a regime brought into power by invaders. this nine year war in 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 they're incarcerating people without trial hold in their 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 compliments of a foreign empire that went in there invaded it without any cause spend it 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. well r.t. has spoken to the former indeed embassador to iraq who thinks the u.s. was drawing troops from the country does not mean an end to washington the full interview is coming up for you next hour but here's a preview. i don't see. actually i think it's just full of the cards so as to speak because the american not going very far they're just going to mexico and you can always come back because the pieces will be kept intact and as i mentioned with a twenty thousand strong u.s. embassy most of the stuff except for that old will be there and secondly. the air force so they don't control the airspace. by the very thing. that you can be in force whenever you want oh you.
