11:15 am
are claims that iran vehemently denies and they've also warned that they will retaliate across the region were they to come under attack now here in britain at the same time the former liberal democratic defense minister nick harvey has claimed that he was fired in the recent cabinet reshuffle to avoid a damaging coalition split over a preemptive strike on iran that now he's reported to have told friends that he was fired in that region for to allow the deputy prime minister says sign up to an israeli u.s. preemptive strike and his criticisms of israel's actions could prove embarrassing for the coalition will this comes on the back of continued concerns here that these war games and the recent statements are all signs that israel and iran edging ever closer to the brink of war. and author and middle east expert tariq ali believes that israel will never be able to strike iran if it isn't backed by the western
11:16 am
powers first. you know what being. sent is not something new he in various members of his government are up there with similar number of questions the thing is it is washington and its vassal state soon europe going to back in is really a joke on iran without washington's green light this attack cannot take place because american interests are very directly involved in the entire region so if an attack is to declare this it will long be know to know it will be the united states giving him the green light certainly that would be temperature in jerusalem is high in nature neanderthal and his foreign minister have been threatening iran quite seriously for the last four months and the west of course sir has let them get away but that i mean just imagine if any other country were threatening another sovereign state there would be some here wouldn't cry in international waters not
11:17 am
in the case of a stroke so the very notion that israel has the right to invade another country because it has nuclear weapons when israeli israel itself is a nuclear power is slightly grotesque meanwhile iran is not sitting idly by watching a western led armada massed near its shores it's not the ploy to destroy one of its russian made submarines in the persian gulf of a sub was purchased by tomorrow in the early nineteenth and as recently undergone a big overhaul iran is also conducting its own naval exercises i'll be active on the country's northern caspian coast as. well at least our seven soldiers have been killed and over sixty injured in eastern turkey after suspected kurdish militants fired rockets at a military convoy and no one claimed responsibility for the attack yet the kurdistan workers party is being blamed members of the organization are considered terrorists by the u.s. and the e.u.
11:18 am
i want to carve the eastern kurdish state off turkey. but the conflict has already claimed forty thousand. nearly two hundred occupy wall street protesters were arrested in new york as they mocked the movement's one year anniversary of peaceful antique or productive bursts flooded the streets trying to block the entrance to the stock exchange but police resorted to using force. i was that a witness that day began with hundreds of optimus and their supporters storming through lower manhattan some attempting to block the entrance of the new york stock exchange to take progress we saw many clashes between new york city police departments and activists that were walking through lower manhattan chanting we are the ninety nine percent and pioneering a message that began months ago a message that started in new york city and then you might nationwide and ultimately global but the most important thing to note on monday when these
11:19 am
optimists gather together for the one year anniversary is that they are still very much committed to their fights against income inequality against corporate influence on us politics but what also for me was the heavy handed tactics used by the n.y.p.d. against optimus some participating in civil disobedience by many occasions we saw that might be pushing optimus to the ground a lot of us feel disillusioned and got to put down like we can't there's nowhere to go and there's no recourse that isn't violent you know they're the violent ones they're putting us in a position of violence and they're acting violently against us. as much disruption as we could you know to show people that we still run in that the measures just do the same they're you know they still a lot of economic inequality in this country and the corporations are running away with power you know with the political game such genealogist because you don't see us here every day doesn't mean that we're not here it's actually something that
11:20 am
gives me a lot of hope personally and something that makes. we feel hopeful for the future to see all these people involved and everybody down here now while some have criticized this man as not bowing beyond civil disobedience are chanting or yelling still very clear that the frustrations that ignited this movement are still very much alive where it will go from here only time will tell but it will be interesting to see how and if this event this movement has any impact on the u.s. presidential election that is just that then weeks away the activists i spoke with throughout my day say they are committed committed to this movement and will be doing everything they can even if it means to civil disobedience to cause a change in their system that they believe does not have on behalf of ninety nine percent of the country reporting from new york bring up party. and he walked over
11:21 am
standard u.s. marine veteran. says the occupiers a hardening of the persistent pains plaguing the united states. has been a phenomenal success and a shift in the national problem for station to focus on the national mall the sins committed against this country you know there's a solution between corporations and politicians. and occupy wall street just reminding people that the main problems that they were protesting about a year ago has gotten worse and now the chance to back up there was no he got sold out is he talking science and infection there's a of the fall of the meeting all happening just hungry. and strange some of these not held out sick people that sold out. and soldiers got sold out. and all the rest of us gives me extreme cleanser to say. they
11:22 am
occupy wall street. and a former u.s. governor jesse ventura believes that getting arrested at the protests is a viable tactic to make america pay attention to the ongoing movement of the interview coming up next hour he lays out his plans for a possible presidential run in two thousand and sixteen that is an exclusive interview. they need to continue to stay apart they need to continue to get arrested they need to continue to be vigilant how do you think we stop the vietnam war and to me the turning point of the vietnam war many people say it was the sixty eight ted offensive that was huge but i don't believe that was the real turning point for america i believe the turning point of the vietnam war was when the four students were killed at kent state i hate to say it but it's going to require something of that magnitude for the wall street movement to truly have been the
11:23 am
impact it can get to the psyche of mainstream america. now the renewed occupy protests come weeks before the presidential election in america activists want change however barack obama did not live up to its promises how mitt romney isn't paying enough attention to his electorate and that's the view of jeffrey summers from the university of wisconsin milwaukee. obama just by inclination and personality does not seem to be that interested in taking on in powerful entrenched interests he seems to see himself as potentially being the great conciliator the person who can bring together different interests and i think we're at a time in our history where the country's very divided so i think he's misread his role in history and consequently he has not introduced that much change in terms of actually winning the election i think the republican strategy has been to kind of juice up again this frustration and anger that resides with the american people and i don't think romney is saying much success i don't think that's resonating enough
11:24 am
to actually win the election in fact in the american press today they just released a video clip in which he said that forty seven percent of the electorate he's not even interested and he calls them the moochers and these are people who were attending a fifty thousand dollars plate fund raiser so you know i think ultimately his prospects are one of the elections are rather small i think obama's. chief strategy in terms of winning is just presenting himself as not romney at this point so he can actually not perform all that well and yet still win the election. part time for the. new bush and again if you tell us about this demand to buy stocks of. companies big twice oversubscribed. told those to move right. the risk of the ties for the financial sector is getting really strong and russia specifically is carpet dieties is improving so basically we think it's
11:25 am
a great time and i think it's very bankers are going to be the first one out of the russian companies that plan to appear to i.p.o.'s below and then near future and i think burbank is going to sarah a good standard they could have placed itself three three to eight percent higher i think it's fair or reasonable and smart to give investors some room to for appreciation as well my shares closed just now lower for a second day here in moscow that's the closing figures for you they're all two years had a shocker federal express this morning said wall street's flat. of trade over the new york bell just slightly up this hour and until thirty protested the weekend in europe was still worrying e.u. investors not surprisingly we saw protests in spain and spain is one of the worst performers out performing in other words doing worse than the footsie and bags this hour in europe on the currency markets the euro shedding to the greenback as spain holds off on asking for a bailout for now. ninety percent of north korea's eleven billion dollars debt most
11:26 am
of which dates back to soviet times in return gets to invest in north korean energy health care and education but she's also interested in building a gas pipeline to energy hungry south korea via the north however the multi-billion dollar project is unlikely to take off while the north officially still at war has the latest with more stories for you next thanks very much anya will see you then buy back with the headlines and then i'll step aside for mr max keiser and the counterpoint.
