sometimes you see the story so you think you understand it and then you. hear or see some other part of it and realize that everything you thought. was a big picture. the moment the syrian capital was rocked by a new terror attack is caught on c.c.t.v. rebels target a key military complex in damascus just a day after twin gloss on the school. syrian violence dominates the u.n. general assembly in new york with more resume changing calls from the west intervention provided by arab states but still no resolution. fiery rage seems the greek capital as protesters and police slug it out in front of parliament and up to

a million people walking out of work in a resigned unknown to all star. and spain braces for another round of the demo is already has about how much of last month's violence was allegedly instigated by police. there watching our two live from moscow head courses i would say we start over in syria where gun battle reportedly erupted inside the army headquarters in syria's capital of damascus after the complex was rocked by two postal explosions four people have been killed in the suicide attacks carried out by the rebel free syrian army the bombing comes just a day off to another opposition group blew up a military academy in the city artie's policia is in the region and brings us the details. two massive explosions rocked the syrian capital of damascus

early on wednesday morning they happened to near the command headquarters of the army and the air force they were just minutes apart they also happened not far from one of the main squares of the capital city now they shattered the glass of windows of nearby buildings with some people reporting hearing those explosions several kilometers away in fact some eyewitnesses have gone as far as to say it was the largest explosion in damascus since fighting broke out there several months ago the ambulances rushed to the scene the police have cordoned off the area to prevent traffic and people from getting closer we were also receiving reports that the ministry of defense was on fire and all of the syrian information minister has said that the explosions were caused by two roadside bombs one of which he says may have been planted inside the grounds of the army command headquarters the explosions also occurred not far from the headquarters of syrian state television they are

calling them terrorists attacks and they come just one day after rebels blew up a school building in damascus which they say was being used for military training so certainly the situation in the syrian capital extremely tense with a string of attacks now coming almost daily. iran's press t.v. channel says its correspondent mayan has been shot dead was reporting on a about today's twin blasts in damascus. has been some time in syria covering the conflict and knew you personally i met. on one of my trips to damascus i was the one who actually reached out to him i wrote to him on twitter saying that we should form a collage of the wrong side of his to reporters that have serious reference to one of the white house official camas that iran the russia china was on the wrong side of history when it comes to syria now he responded in a very humorous manner is a. very well known reporter in damascus he was receiving

a lot of threats for his reporting both by phone and on his twitter account anyone could see it i relied on his knowledge sometimes on his contacts extensively as did a lot of reporters in the region both iraq. and western reporters on one hand you see people dying in great numbers every day and that instils there's a certain sounds of humility i understand that your whole life is worth nothing and that was the thing about my as well because he was reporting for an iranian station but he was a syrian and he obviously. to a great care about his own country and he was concerned about what was happening there and he wanted to bring what he saw as the truth to the rest of the world because he always tried to go and talk to various factions within the syrian society because it was his country. petter henningsen political analyst for the

current affairs website luke a column believes of the journalists data was unlikely to be an accident the propaganda war has now taken another turn and i believe that the recent shooting of the press t.v. bureau correspondent was a targeted assassination because he is working for an iranian state broadcaster so the message is only certain amount of media is allowed to perform in syria and not others it's clear now that the the hell that's been unleashed by the u.s. and their allies and the go state has now reached new levels of violence in the heart of syria in the capital of damascus so this is this is the result of eighteen months or two months two years of progressive planning and trying to get into the country and having foreign fighters all over all over the different regions in syria and now the violence is coming to damascus it's very very sad to

see the country descending into this sort of chaos but this to be expected. the square of the greek parliament and downtown athens last scenes ok us today with protesters and police exchanging molotov cocktails and tear gas grenades greece itself is at a standstill today with a nationwide strike paralyzing industry transport and businesses up to a million people are taking part in protests with around fifty thousand in the streets around calling. the actions against a third round of austerity being debated by the government if passed it would mean deep slackness to pensions and raising the retirement age to sixty seven attorney and professor of constitutional law george packer gallen says it's geraghty has shown itself to be path to disaster. to say the other for their own recipe it's a second rate of recipe that's one reason. then with the system or at least a disease itself because we see that to yourself that bush hating nurses and the

pressure to decrease it's now actually bigger than what it used to be decide to share it got us here and you have a point if you will have also this engine of the economy so it's a kind of vicious circle we're going to reduce them to a state where making a record a record in the luxury of people will reset up we had at the age of attrition exclusion central focal it's got implosion of the government itself so what are you think that there are in the months to come we are going to have to finish the year political crisis besides they're going to run. well there was a riot in madrid last night with tens of thousands of protesters around in the parliament and provoking a very hard response from spanish law enforcement more than a hundred people were either arrested or injured in scheme which is as police charged at the krauts jacob riis was in the middle of it all and reports on how false sterett he has pushed people's patience. tens of thousands of people were out

on the streets in numbers but then it turned someone on it was so protesters throwing projectiles at police there's also a constant thought of fireworks being set off in and around the amassed house with them police moved in in force and they pushed back those demonstrators chased down i may think what forcible arrests we see a large number being detained a large number being injured in the proceedings that followed taken away by ambulances now this is being in a racially occupied the parliament and the intention originally will surround the town here in madrid and try and get their message out and see us there see a noble cuts to health care spending in education the salaries of shops watching this huge squad of us the full display on both sides of the chart throughout the course of the weapons times now when it comes to austerity well we hear

reports as a budget on this issue will be discussed later this week by the correspondents government projecting the budget for next year and we're already hearing that potentially there could be a freeze when it comes to cuts the health cuts to spending on education that could really be seen as a backlash from what we've seen so far previous demonstrations that have been golfing spain amateurish in response. more protests are planned in madrid today with demonstrators declaring they want to quit until their message is heard one of them they to some pedre associate professor at the rate one godless university says he saw police guarding protesters. what happened is that there were constant sort of occasion after the police they began to beat people up in various small groups at seven pm just to get the last scenes of daylight and

to put fear to do to do a scare of the people so they would involve their nine thirty day began to. beat on people of course there were some demonstrators. so it is despair of the population. there seems some want to turn into a violent state what i can tell you is that disparaged population in the protestors they don't want clashes they don't want to violence they just want to overturn a government that betrayed all the four electoral proposals that they made to the population the pain caused by the global financial heart attack still has the british government groping for the kill the plans for deep wealth and employment cuts have been met with anger amid accusations that politicians are protecting corporations from the austerity blustering yes polybe looks at why britain's top

referencing tensions with israel he said that iran is under threat by quote uncivilized zionists threatening to resort to military action against his country he spoke about the economic issues of globally that most people are facing he said poverty is on the rise the gap between the rich and the war is widening but interesting enough his speech took somewhat of an occupy wall street when he was criticizing capitalistic countries on their own lection process he said the u.s. and european countries allow for hundreds of millions of dollars to be spent on elections and the voices of ninety nine percent of the population living in those countries are not heard or reflected now u.s. president barack obama who is currently running for reelection in the midst of a of a campaign blitz right now in the u.s. he took to the podium of the general assembly just a day ago when he said the u.s. will do what it must to prevent iran from obtaining nuclear weapons so here you
