autum the police came back to to make arrests parties more in a fortnight as across the latest. may day doesn't just mark the international workers day it now marks the resurgence of the occupy wall street movement thousands of activists flooded the streets of manhattan picking up where the grass roots coalition left off in the fall we saw demonstrations taking place throughout the entire city including bryant park union square and wall street repeating the message that they have been saying over and over again voicing their outrage against wealth inequality in the united states against out paying for influence on us. on affordable higher education and health care in the us and the ongoing jobs crisis that ninety nine percent of americans are dealing with ninety nine make it lines were set up throughout manhattan were active this were

protesting outside of banks and the offices of u.s. corporations and multinational corporations once the sun went down the thousands gathered at veterans memorial plaza in lower manhattan literally occupying the property many were organizing and demonstrating with respect to their issues but once ten pm came the n.y.p.d. stormed through the plaza evacuating it to literally floor seeing the activists to leave arresting some pushing many others out onto the street once the group was out on to the street were all walking through lower manhattan and police officers were odd motorcycles and trying to keep the activists penned in on the sidewalk once and i did a step into the street they got arrested there were instances where activists were

being taken into care. with blood dripping from their face so there were incidents where it got bloody between police officers and the unarmed occupy activists but despite the violence that was seed in stern instances the group continued to chant their message walking through lower manhattan the exact location where this movement ignited in the fall of two thousand and eleven these activists back on the streets saying they will be holding washington accountable for all the favoritism that is being seen to the one percent in the united states. reporting their. attempt to give new life to the occupy movement was met with tear gas and stun grenades as police went on the offensive to disperse crowds of

demonstrators out of a has the latest from california. received reports of violence primarily that took place in california and that have a cording to the reports at least four people got arrested when police officers ordered protesters out of the streets of the city and that happened around men day when about four hundred people gathered at the city holo plaza to march and to protest and their main themes the war social inequality and police aggression koechlin police did use to tear gas against those protesters have but that didn't really stop them but they continued marching through the streets and chanting anti capitalism slogans we also received reports from a san francisco where it is sad that there is been some of violence and some clashes between protesters and police representatives later add to the end of the

may day protests the first of may here in los angeles has really been all. about immigration but only this here however immigration sure the day where the occupy protests see if say that it's really ravaged by high unemployment and the budget cuts still many people were also raising their voices so for this we have seen a lot of protests there have been a lot of people in the streets of los angeles today and in the streets of other cities in the state of california is in a caution in reporting their violence is also marred may day marches in some european cities as hundreds of thousands rallied in support of workers' rights left wing protesters in berlin and hamburg clashed with police with injuries reported on both sides an estimated four hundred thousand marched across the e.u. to demand a boost to eurozone economies rallies also turned violent in italy as protesters clashed with riot police were touring was the center of rioting in france where

it's election time presidential candidates sought to use made a s. a chance to rally support. in spain trade union activists marched against a record e.u. unemployment rate of twenty five percent as a country suffers a double dip recession while the worst hit greece saw crowds mass outside parliament in athens with some protesters calling for a revolt strategic plan are going down believes economic troubles in europe spell a larger political crisis. the problem with the euro zone idea and the european community it's a suburb in a democratic ideal whenever the european constitution has been up for a vote it's what is lost in every popular referendum that's been out there and now you are having the problem of this economic crisis which is becoming worse and worse what you have is the european union and the european central bank demanding that the national governments cut spending and go into these austerity programs rather than devalue the euro and try to inflate their way out of this problem so

it's based. lee helping the bondholders at the expense of the people now the people of course eventually if you keep on squeezing them an economic problem becomes a political problem and you start seeing massive discontent which you're seeing in italy i think that you're going to start seeing more and more of it in france it seems to me that the establishment politicians of both the left in the right the sarkozy and hollande are not responding to the general popular discontent they seem to be responding to the quote unquote technocrats who insist on austerity and what we've seen in spain where we've seen in greece what we've seen in the u.k. a sturdy measures do not seem to be working to fix the economy and a swathe of this popular discontent and so i would expect to see more protests in italy during the coming weeks as spring becomes summer and not only in italy but in the rest of europe. but tonight you live from moscow still to come in the program skepticism in france over the choice on offer between the two candidates vying to

be president in this sunday's election runoff but some voters feeling it either are likely to address the most pressing issues. and police officers in india resort to desperate and dangerous measures to escape poverty. bombs and gunfire have struck the afghan capital kabul shortly after a visit by barack obama the taliban claimed responsibility and the attacks were in retaliation for the u.s. president's visit afghan police say suicide bombers attacked a compound where foreign contractors live at least six people have been killed the u.s. president's visit to kabul one year since the killing of osama bin laden american special forces in a speech airbase a bomb admitted washington is holding direct talks with the taliban and said many in the terrorist group are interested in peace obama and karzai also signed an agreement outlining ties in the decade after the planned u.s.

troop pullout in twenty fourteen is going to count has more. the fact that president obama traveled to afghanistan exactly year after bin laden's killing to sign the strategic pact with ghana's that is seen as an attempt to put the new years of a success story on the decade long war in afghanistan but success in afghanistan is very or you will to say the least the afghans want american troops out we constantly see people there expressing outrage over the killing of civilians over night raids and other actions by u.s. troops the american people want their troops out so both governments are anxious to tell their people that this is over but the agreement that the leaders have signed in vision is the us staying in afghanistan through twenty twenty four at least not in those numbers of course and the agreement by the way does not address specific troop levels or the size or location of u.s. bases and this is something that many afghans are worried about and that is that the u. was born. permanent basis in afghanistan so i made all these questions you have the anniversary of bin laden's death which is hailed as

a great victory because my report on how bin laden's killing could serve as a convenient cover for some dubious policies we have been able to decimate the ranks of al qaeda and go. were able to finally bring osama bin ladin just. by now nobody doubts that bin laden's killing is going to be the highlight of obama's presidential campaign it's already featured in his ads. the harder. and the more on. the one. produced in my opinion the best from so. as hyped as bin laden's killing is some ask whether it's being used to mask the feeler of us policies abroad during the last ten years the bin laden thing i think makes things easier it sells well but again i

don't think you can put that good a face on ten years of combat in afghanistan and the afghan and the iraq invasion i think is to me question still yet to be asked about what the justification was no matter how much killing bin laden means you can't take away ten years of failure it was going into afghanistan and especially into iraq ok that created more enemies you know and recruits for. you know you had this kind of salafist. you know then that then weakening them the pentagon's new strategy is to move away from ground wars bin laden's killing has become the face of the new war on terror obama style through targeted assassinations in different countries with the use of drones and special ops experts say that policy can also backfire the attacks end up killing many civilians and they steer a new wave of revenge extremism you know how many people are we going to have to

kill before we can finally say ok that's it objective achieved war over we can call this thing off and i look at the israeli experience with targeted assassination and that suggests to me that when you engage in that kind of a policy really what you're going to do is end up having an endless list of targets . and i fear that's the past we have gone down bin laden's death was a success on the war on terror front no doubt about that but there is an attempt to sell it as the success story of the whole war on terror and many fear that bin laden's killing could serve as a convenient cover for bad policies of the past as well as the future i'm going to be reporting from washington our team. and there's always more on our website r.t. dot com so you can go online to read about a burning religious matter a florida pastor holds another koran burning ceremony outside a church after the previous one positive and the muslim world. no more famous dutch

race is about choosing the candidate you like the most round two is voting for the one you dislike the least unless of course you voted for one of them to begin with and this is where it gets tricky for some especially those who question what. if. yeah yeah. maybe in jest but what's seen as a lack of a clear solution for france's economic woes have left citizens skeptical from the onset. of the french people to see one of the two come to did he say. this in my approach to the next five. i will see the wall in this. and i will i would like to see for all in this wall in this in this. especially when france is economic quagmire is already a tough one to muddle through unemployment is at

a twelve year high of almost ten percent debt is doing ninety percent of g.d.p. growth has all but ground to a halt thirty measures are likely to continue the problem could both candidates are in favor of euro bonds more intervention from the european central bank and to varying degrees both have put on a confrontational tone towards brussels and germany but there's doubt that there will be much room for maneuver at all but. whoever the elected president is sarkozy or he will subject himself very quickly and very visibly to the power of the european union it will always require more sacrifices for workers for the obvious interests of the large banking globalists. then they work very small things that are there if you recall that ok we're going to give the vote for immigrants in local elections. you know what we're going to lead. and more sexual

couples adopt children those are important measures but they're not the biggest measures a tough choice to make for those who don't see one to begin with and that is desiree so you are to paris. at exactly thirty years since the argentine cruiser general ground zero was sunk in the first major british attack on the focus war three hundred and twenty three crew died in what was argentina's single heaviest loss of life in the conflict over the sovereignty of the islands author and historian hugh bitch you know says britain hasn't learned the lessons from the war. it took everybody completely by surprise you know the political will certainly there were plenty of warnings that you know one of the things they say there was an intelligence failure no there was an and failure failure of the intellect but that's permanent in the british government it seems unable to process information and come up with sensible policies british very very very poor at

learning the lessons of anything broadly speaking because they're going to face up to the truth about going to mass murder disappearances corruption ghoshal with the dirty war with our own prime minister callahan in the foreign office came up to try and sell the idea of selling out the island those he said. handing over two thousand to a bunch of bleeping fascists. and that was the foreign office told but that didn't stop the city because the bureaucracy has its own way of doing things you know how trendy this country is and every charge is off in one direction at one time and it's tedious as hell but it continues you know right now where we are on the. we're just commonwealth where we must stick to uncle. bleep. and you can see the full interview with the story and author are here but you know in about ten minutes here on our team. israel is taking new steps to shield itself

from its arab neighbors meeting further isolation and having already walled off the palestinians the jewish state is now seeking to do the same with a lebanese artist probably your reports from israel while the israeli army says it is building this seven meter high cement wall between israel and lebanon to prevent firing from a ban on into northern israel now over the past year and a half there have been and number of incidents just last week a man crossed over the border with his two children from lebanon but a much more deadly example was last year when a number of people were killed during commemorations when they came too close to the border from the neighbor side until now there has been any make to fly a fence along the one kilometer israeli been on board it and this is monitored by unifil the united nations interim force in lebanon and in fact israel and lebanon while being taken to rule they always do meet under the auspices of uniform and

this wall is being constructed in conjunction with unifil the israeli army as well as the lebanese army but in addition israel is also in the midst of building a wall along its southern border with egypt a war that it says it hopes are finished by the end of the year according to the israelis the one in the south is to stop militant activity there and also to prevent smuggling and then there is another wall the very controversial war that is one has built since two thousand and two in the palestinian waistband and it's controversial because very often it's built on private the palestinian land and cuts through villages and it has caused outrage in the international community but they have to israel has cited security concerns as the reason for that particular bad. area is one is becoming more isolated as tensions increase in the region and here we only need to look at recent developments between cairo and tell of if a muso who is the egyptian presidential front runner said recently that the camp david accords which were signed between israel and egypt back in one thousand nine

hundred ninety eight i did and buried and in addition to that just a few days ago stopped it's a longstanding agreement to supply gas to as well in addition to that we have the situation with iran and here soon we are not soon cracks between the israeli political and military leadership over whether or not to go ahead with preparation for wall whether or not they should continue talking about a war there's a lot of confusion around that too so certainly tensions in the region are increasing. closely reporting there now let's now take a look at some other stories from around the world he was really of state hillary clinton has arrived in china for annual two day strategic and economic between the countries by the meeting is at risk of being overshadowed by the case of the blind chinese lawyer. he fled house arrest last week and is now said to be under u.s. protection although it's not being confirmed officially before three chan was being punished for exposing alleged abuses in official chinese family planning policy.

seven people including three members of parliament have been killed in a suicide attack in central somalia a hotel cafe where politicians were meeting was the bomb target the parliamentarians and military officials were part of a delegation that recently arrived in the region to help form a local government the militant group al-shabaab has said it was behind the violence. by omar opposition leader aung san suu kyi this morning and as a member of parliament that comes after a two decade struggle against military rule by the nobel laureate who was subject to house arrest and travel bans the army has formally transfer power to civilians but still has considerable influence in the country her party boycott of the general election in two thousand and ten saying the poll was rigged in favor of the military but then entered the political process. it india some police are being accused of using corrupt means to earn a living a bounty for killing suspected terrorists is leading to allegations that some

innocent people are dying and the hands of overeager officers are just investigates . sure mima is a widow with six children desperately trying to make ends meet doing embroideries work for local shops her family has been at the center of the media storm after her daughter was shot and killed by police at the age of nineteen as an argument my world fell apart and my house felt empty without her she was the only one bringing light into my life and she is the one who supported the whole family i totally depended on her i mean you got me is sure it was part of a fake encounter where police kill usually on armed suspects and claim the killing was in self-defense she was accused of working with pakistani militants and planning to assassinate a key regional politician a later investigation concluded she was murdered by police hoping for financial gain for killing suspected terrorists is just story is unfortunately not uncommon

here according to indian civil rights groups police everyman and that is that they have been trained encouraged to carry them out for money it's a reality that sheds light on india's lawless society where rampant corruption and bribery has led to a broken law enforcement and judicial system those who have served on the front line say it's a tough job with little pay police here have to cover three times as many people per officer compared to many parts of the world. this is. the border and some of the problems. are. what can go through the change new committees have been set up to monitor police complaints while an extra two hundred thousand officers will be hired in the next two years but for those like shamima who have to live every day without her beloved

daughter the government's reforms are simply too little too late. i have totally lost my faith in the police we were just living our life quietly even though we did not have enough money we didn't do anything wrong so why did they kill my daughter it just makes me so angry. still trying to make sense of her family's tragedy preassure either r.t. mumbai india all right we're going now straight to the world of. the business there marina hello to you so finally something happened that we've all been waiting for the russian markets open so what are the figures there like now higher and i guess they finally open that means we have something about other than asia well the numbers are all positive and that shouldn't come as a surprise really because first of all that off markets were closed for a couple of days because of the public holidays and closed again next week for half of the week because these holidays are will be extended so investors are really has

to make any big moves but as we can see the figures are all because of the because we had positive reports coming out. about a little bit later as we can see the. point the seven percent that's our analysts are saying that the russian economy is. right so let's listen to that. there's a tremendous amount of growth only because of the resources in the economy but also because the growth of the middle class and the increasing wealth even of the poorest people in society so i think that is an untapped potential think a lot of growth in the future will come more from the actions of companies than from the government. and i see some real new energy in russia's companies and also a lot of interest still from foreign investors from american and european companies and investing in russian. well let's take a look at the asian markets pretty much a similar picture to the one we saw here at russia all positive thinkers for the

hang seng adding over one percent and basically what we're seeing there is that official p.m.i. data showed that there was improvements in chinese manufacturing activity on the downside when all the time as biggest banks showed a sharp slowdown in credit growth but of course that don't really have much in the fact that investors as we can see and also and all that of optimism boost was the fact that there were gains on wall street let's take a look at that and see why that happened if you look at the percentages it doesn't seem that i'm but in reality the dow had its highest close in almost over four years in fact and that was partly due to better than expected manufacturing data coming out and a cold air moving on through exchange rates the euro is still against the dollar although this hour it's a gaining ever so slightly and when the comes to the ruble it's losing again it's actually gaining against both major currencies these are the updated figures since the russian markets just opened moving on super crude prices are still heading this

south and that's after reaching the highest level in over five weeks and mainly what we have effect in there is that there is an industrial reports that. are on the rise in big glass which is a countering every viable and economic growth in the u.s. and basically this is how business looks this hour and next hour the european markets will open so we'll have even more to talk about ok thanks very much indeed already looking forward to that and of course don't forget there's plenty more coming your way here and very shortly we'll be discussing the war between britain argentina thirty years ago well that's coming your way after a recap of our top stories.
