for occupy wall street six months on the movement six to throw off its tend to i think image as activists look to change tack in their back again greed and inequality. good evening for me kevin over here in moscow it's now nine pm here. as you said this is our take it to our top story syria's capital has been struck by two deadly bombings which targeted security buildings it's killed twenty seven people injured over one hundred more the state broadcaster suggests the attacks were carried out by terrorists who detonated car bombs now middle east correspondent paula slayer bridgework today. eliminate reports are just that vehicles packed with explosives

were detonated targeting the security complex and hitting the police and intelligence buildings now the government is calling this the work of terrorists and state television is showing pictures of charred bodies vehicles and blood stains to the streets these blasts come after a string of recent suicide attacks just last month on february tenth twenty eight people were killed in twin blasts that hit the security complex in the government stronghold of aleppo and since december there have been three suicide bombings in damascus these blasts also conscious two days after the one year anniversary of the uprising against syrian president bashar assad there is ongoing and spiraling violence in syria and also receiving reports that al qaida is now operating there calling for the opposition groups to unify if that and they fight against the syrian regime the latest effort at a diplomatic compromise comes from the former head of the united nations kofi annan

last weekend he was in syria where he met with both a syrian president bashar assad and opposition groups and he is urging all members of the united nations security council to give the nod to the proposals he's put forward on the table now the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov has urged members of the u.n. security council to come forward and give their support russia is also calling for a political dialogue that will see an agreement between the syrian regime and the opposition. and has handed over a set of balls also the syrian leadership i can assure you that these proposals do not mention any demands on president bashar al assad to step down i believe it's up to the syrian people to decide this issue. any consensus decision that the government and all of position groups come to as a result of dialogue russia is not supporting the syrian regime we support the launch of a political process a cease fire is needed for that in the first place and in the coming days there will be a delegation from the united nations visiting syria to assess what is the reality on the ground and this is the latest effort to reach some kind of political

agreement between the soon authorities and the opposition. forestier middle east correspondent spoke to james petras he's a sociology professor at binghamton university in new york it's one of the bombings could be the result of the opposition's frustration over the un's move towards finding at the platic solution in syria. the opposition refused to look to just faith in a referendum. they refused to participate in a deal lection they refuse to negotiate they're only interested in violent well that's all of the government it also reflects frustration over the sacked that the un is moving toward a position of dialogue and not regime change as kofi annan mission was the need for a cease fire negotiations and a repudiation know that by the opposition using bombs instead of dialogue is an

indication that. they're losing international support. much more ahead from including this with creation of the american soldier accused of gunning down innocent afghans as kabul reels from the massacre all eyes now on the u.s. to see whether justice will be set. in a post-revolutionary take on justice thousands of vigilantes have planned police across pakistan giving rise to fears that the law is now available to read to the highest bidder. convicted nazi war criminal john berman new york has died in a care home in germany aged ninety one in two thousand and eleven he was convicted of assisting in the murder of a around twenty eight thousand jews while serving guard duty in a death camp in poland he was sentenced to just five years in prison because the court ruled no particular crime could be directly attributed to him he was allowed to stay in a home for the elderly while his appeal was being reviewed. elsewhere in europe s s

veterans have been getting heroes on as the annual march held in latvia's capital has been massively condemned as glorification of naziism despite that it's got support at the highest political levels as artie's jacob greece found out. there's been decades of change since the world when nazi germany dominated despite the bloody legacy in some quarters of europe that you still have an audience come are your it temporarily jews are crying about the holocaust which remains you holding an eight hundred forty one the war could walk a bit and killed me i think they received it would be deserved. or not be pardoned or get this is as one thousand five hundred people gathered to officially commemorate those who fought alongside hitler's armies and joined the waffen s.s. and meeting stoking fears of a neo nazi resurgence in latvia we can not be silent when the people

are all knowing the memory of the nads east of the birth and this says are marching in the streets of a member of the european union those in the crowd to spend their start saying the so-called legionnaires were fighting for liberty at a time when tyranny faced latvia from all directions it was a military force fuld in one thousand nine hundred forty three volunteers and members of the disbanded latvian siri police responsible for the mass killing of jews this image of latvia is youth lining the streets to welcome in veterans commemorating asian ness day is one that has become commonplace it's also something that is increasingly warring observers if it may represent a rise of the thought writes those same commentators are asking why this message is being supported at the very top of the country's leadership. love being president and just as it is argued it is foolish to assume that s.s.

veterans are criminals saying they deserve the public's respect people who are in charge in positions of authority should not be setting examples where young people start to believe that a vote for an s s is something that you should wish to follow echoing such sentiments and the fascist groups govern it by the protests of the annual march the rise in far right rhetoric is not unique. to the continent which by financial crisis ultra nationalists and has been growing throughout europe you've got the fascist right people are proud of being sort of etc or whatever and you've got the fascist light the people who like probably marine le pen in france are actually coming from that kind of million i mean from that kind of position it's a growth most of power to divulge is that celebrate those who others struggle with them accompanied by personal messages such as this one made it a latvian t.v.

a couple of days after the blasts took place and were put on trial and they over were accused of carrying out not just a terror attack in april of last year but also of another one which also happened in minsk in two thousand and eight one of the men dimitri kind of all of has actually pleaded guilty to both cases where is the other man what is left has pleaded not guilty he has also written a letter with a petition for pardon to the belorussian president that petition was refused officially now this case was very closely followed by human rights organizations especially those in europe as literal fact the chairman of the european parliament has also written a petition regarding the plea for pardon of the two men to the bill russian authorities but it is probably safe to assume that that plea has also been refused of course bellers has been on the reader of the european human rights you could say she for a very long time a lot of people in europe question the tactics and the policies of people who are

sure thirty's when it comes to matters concerning human rights and the freedom of speech is pretty much question and belarus and as it stands right now bellers is the only country in europe still to employ capital punishment insley goal system. you get all the latest news producing stories you may have missed on the t.v. side of it here at r.t. though com our web site stories tonight might be interested but once a whistleblower julian assange aren't in the news again getting ready to run for the senate in his native australia now this is well let his house arrest in britain get in the way get more details online and here's a thought all your appliances acting as cia agents but you never thought about what the dark secret of the white goods but you keeping tabs on your family revealed online for us at our people.

it's now six months since the birth of the occupy wall street movement a movement that swept the world with a dazzling speed attracting millions of a fed up with inequality and greed from tear gas and rubber bullets to bats and wielding cops and forced evictions the occupiers whether everything thrown at them but now many of their camps a spring king and the fever dying down as artist christine for reports. never gets a free wills but they'll meet it's a global the say ship before examination this will fly a b. to get saturation we first met joe more than in the early stages of the occupy wall street movement and out here since i think october second degree a little bit just the whole. government corruption falsely i suppose so the really incestuous relationship that they got a lot of. my good stuff it was possible for multiple atrocities all

why a former children's mental health counselor jools position was cut and he was left without a job and instead found a place and a first place to hear stuff. this is the rule supplement that we just wrecked did to protect us from the outside conditions and those conditions not all thanks to mother nature every night or something and there's always some fights there's always a some kind of drama happening a lot of ice where the police have been telling the junkies all drug do they want to give us what they hang out of affairs. mcpherson square one of the longest lasting occupations ended up becoming a microcosm of society itself with similar issues from sun lena's to crime. still joel and many others here remain undeterred or today is january third two thousand and twelve. year the revolution as i'd like to call it. it is close to.

maybe twenty six twenty seven degrees outside but it wasn't the cold but these a vision notices that were posted on the occupiers tents setting off a firestorm of both anger and support and the construction of this tent of dreams that. most people did end up leaving joel included i guess the thing that maybe stopped libya was the raid. that was i mean that was i mean they have infrared helicopters flying around at night you know having like little formal vision on the tents to make sure the people are in the tent sleeping but even police crackdowns have not meant the end of occupy wall street and this is make pearson's where today nearly six months after the occupy wall street movement began a few tense remain but it's largely symbolic though and the others say the occupation aspect of this movement is simply one chapter in a longer story with many more still yet to be written but we do the dirty work for them the desire for radical change and

a newfound belief that it can actually be achieved is strong enough not to be subdued in the brought me here was that feeling that something was incredibly walang with society in the system in general and everything that we you know are you know should be naturally against human beings and. i think i found that there is actually something that we can do about it in washington christine frizz now our team. well gardner so where the occupy movement saving to go recent claims from a former goldman sachs executive over the company's bottle the case certainly resonated with the group coming up at nineteen thirty g.m.t. on this channel see max and stacey tonight also weigh in on the crisis of the controversial banking firm. when philip goldman sachs makes a ten million dollars bonus or a thirty million dollars bonus he has lost for various clients including greece or other countries or other corporations three hundred or four hundred billion in

losses he's paid a percentage of dull losses this is why the global g.d.p. is in retreat this is why the united states restart that low to fifteen sixteen seventeen trillion to paper over the losses they call that it is in the business of delivering to customers many of which are too frickin stupid to understand that it's not necessarily a great idea if lloyd blankfein set you up with a thirty second street that's not worth throwing your company or the boss for but a lot of c.e.o.'s are so frickin stupid because the cost of money is so cheap that they're willing to give away their company their family their life for just such an arrangement. report i have it later tonight the u.s. soldier accused of killing sixteen civilians in afghanistan has been named as staff sergeant robert bales he's already back in the united states at a military prison but has not yet been charged army officials say he's being held

in solitary confinement in an afghan investigation claims bales was not acting alone and that up to twenty other u.s. troops may have taken part of the massacre international affairs commentator rick ross off believes the cold blooded killing of civilians by american forces is history repeating itself. we have reason to believe you know receipt of dry wood all we have to recall is seven years ago in iraq in the body for twenty four iraqi civilians are killed by the nine u.s. servicemen none of them were prosecuted for their crimes the leader of the group was simply charged with a perilous you know it would be a broken right. which is hardly commensurate you know on the front but there is a difference between so-called collateral damage and targeted killing another variable style somebody several houses in the village were of a car there were people around it off and people you know sixteen or the afghan government state something even more important to them but nine children three

women and so forth this suggests first of all of that one person could hardly have perpetrated the crime of his own this is a very. you know action and for us to try to prepare it as anything else is just an groundless. to violent revolutions in just seven years that's the price the paper of the central asian republic of cut of his stand of paid so far for a free and democratic food shipped today public and i'm also told the police is an all time high i am playing for the rise in a culture of vigilanteism exam to boycott reports next elbows in store the street submit name of justice. perfecting their blows and kicks in this case downtown this young man of the constant reminder of the violence that currently get to this town street college x. for the past decade. this is. the punchlines track to the heart of the country's security problems so years ago during the last curtis

revolution the police opened fire if the tester is. almost seventy perky old forcing the president to step down and since them because she's now three times have effectively replaced the police with a cohort of vigilante groups will move here move i told you the movement of drug people's guards counts tens of thousands year that. these men patrol the streets at night and just a phone call away during the day organized in small cells their mobile and easily manageable and increasingly they're being trained by the very same security forces they're supposed to be filling for. ministry in the ministry of defense help train our volunteers and in time of need with police and your meter demoralized we are ready to defend our country the new security arrangement was in full display during the recent presidential elections in addition to observer and regular police each

pulling station had a group of heavily built man who called themselves people's guards all candidates in the corridors elections extolling the virtues of democracy and the rule of law but to make sure the base for graphic values work in their favor many of them chose to rely on natural rather than political. the country's former interior minister says revising the regular police allows them enough there is an excuse to maintain their own private armies and he's the public discontent pulls over once again. under the pretext with the police and the more moist the new authorities are creating their own security you know its primary goal is not to protect the law for all. but rather to protect private interests of. the succession of the revolutions has also led to a rise in the number of private security agencies here in the central miscarriage car strain which hit targets. during the last revolution protesters raided

several depots and many of their weapons are still at large. it's true that our business grows in times of instability but we are really tired of all these revolutions that's what we need to streamline economic development so on evolution at the national level and this revolutionary plays well into the new year there it is hands in may have been brought to power and made a popular uprising it with now thousands of well trained guards under their command . not to leave the office in a similar fashion it's not going to artsy you could just. in a few minutes bring in a party for some trick in the heart of moscow. if you. cannot hire is how do you become a bend. over the dial sort of drink it seems the center of the capital revels in all things irish girl for the first time from the business for. also making

news around the world now the former head of libya's intelligence services has been arrested at an airport after arriving in mauritania in western africa. accused of being a close confidante and a major figure behind efforts to stamp out last year's uprising he's also wanted by the international criminal court for crimes against humanity libya's national transitional council now wants him extradited. japan says it's considering whether to destroy a satellite which north korea is planning to launch next month over fears that its disguised long range missile test north korea insists it's just a working satellite which it wants to send into space in april to mark the birth and to enter your the state's founder kim il so several countries including the us russia and china have condemned yong and planned. to take a break away from news and head off the beaten track a bit for a couple of minutes to. take in more of russia's hidden corners and our latest

close up series. and it's two a very remote so what we had in the ural mountains of which post headline grabbing name the village is called wait for it newspaper. where it seems time stood still for almost a century. but as remote as it gets tom barton found it anyway and this is his report. you could use one of russia's biggest cities but a few hours away it's a different world where we were going even tarmac would be a luxury that's the end of the road from here to the village it's just forest time for me to go even further off the beaten track. eventually we saw it welcome to the village of newspaper population ten

people two horses cows no running water no electricity and one rather strange name it was founded in one thousand nine hundred eighty four by a group of collective farm workers who wanted to branch out on their own but they had a problem. with a point when the to establish in your village they had to have permission so they applied for it through the local paper when the permission was granted their name to newspapering things. straight line or is one of only two people to have lived here all their life the other is galena after her husband died she continued to live here alone every winter has snowed in so what if they need help. when if you don't get help if something happens you are on the road and if you can't get through the phone no one will come. that said larner with her two horses

is essentially the village taxi service for a twenty one year old son lives here too and for the moment is content working on a local logging site and. he doesn't want to leave in the town he likes it here but i'm not sure if he'll stay here that long it might be fun for he while he's still young but i think you might get more of it when the cows can roam freely. jaws don't need to be locked in fact apart from tending the livestock the only law and order necessary here is to stop the dogs fighting but newspaper is incredibly small too small and i wondered just survived i was surprised to find it was cool enough who disagreed with me but the very near the village has a future it needs to hold on it's a nice quiet place and that's why i said to residents come here we even need new cloths for some houses so it looks like far from dying out clean as granddaughter

could be joined by many more visitors i wouldn't hold out for the road though tom bottom party. or back here moscow turned green for a day as crowds gathered in the capital center to celebrate the for additional irish holidays and patrick's day at least have a more say china revelers in russia. there's no doubt that when you think of us in paddy's day you think of the irish people themselves but also the most iconic we will all say some paddy himself today at the o.r. but was that liberating just that just like the rest of the world from new york to bank called to beijing as well as here in moscow now muslims have actually been celebrating the days of nine hundred ninety two and its cultural events like this that actually live russia and fighting to get back into the fray. they have a few similarities in terms of a culture of joy having fun and making people smile and having

a few drinks so none of them patrick's day celebration is complete until you have i believe that and that begins today so moving have a national green feel. so as they say. in ireland sloan's everybody will. come with a i'd see moscow. lunch is due to the regular and i did minutes from washington d.c. coming up shortly starting with capital accounts on air in just a couple of moments after a play to the headlines for you but i'm scared and i thank you for choosing us this saturday.

i am. just so. he's. wealthy british style.
