nine percent this is a comic war like that's what drives me to be here is not just about the one house. with. occupy l.a. started in a matter and was unique in how protesters had a cozy relationship with police. was a way for local politicians grew tired of the demonstration. and showed they were willing to use a massive police response to shut down the peaceful movement the military style raid on occupy allays encampment drove away protesters but radicalized others who are determined more than never to fly repressive forces when you have that kind of systematic institutionalized abuse of people expressing their first amendment rights it doesn't shut it down it fuels it said slovik is an independent journalist who has been documenting occupy l.a. throughout he observed how the movement's inclusiveness allowed elements in which

cause conflict while occupy l.a. is broken up into several community entities it still celebrates small victories this again is the current evolution this is the edge of it this is a foreclosure resistance action and it's supported by occupy l.a. as the movement evolves the nun this family is determined to keep their american dream from the no way you should and i would to have been there you can always show you. i mean you. know in los angeles ramon the lindo r t. the f.b.i. has arrested a man who allegedly planned to blow up the federal reserve building in new york the twenty one year old bangladeshi national was attained us he apparently tried to trigger what he thought were explosives stored in a car the man who was in the united states on a student visa caught the attention of authorities when he was searching for a cot a context they supplied him with a thousand pounds of fake explosives through on the ground operatives the federal

morgan you're just splitting each other what else are bottles and frick and clowns . all say that says there is more to come in just a few minutes. homeland security now has robot tunas seriously robot fish the drones in the sky spying on you just weren't good enough effect they've revealed that they're going to be using robotic hummingbirds soon who how cute these things can only see you though above the water now during the one percent or less of your life that you spend swimming homeland security will be keeping you safe since nine eleven we've heard ad nauseum that we need to be kept safe so americans have given up their rights but if things

got that much safer honestly has any of the stuff ushered in some sort of peaceful utopia no it hasn't the best terrorism prevention would be to not bomb secular regimes in other countries like libya so that some fanatical wackos come to power that would help way more than robotic spy fish i hear a lot of people talk about personal responsibility in a lot of speeches and yes personal responsibility is a key component of the american way slit people provide for their own defense what is going to protect you more a shock that under the bed or terminator tune so hey homeland security can of tuna right but i just might be. it was the strangest attempt of a military takeover. of the us president trying to overthrow a foreign country's government but his strategic. and america recognized

defeat. if cuba managed to cope with. the cuban missile crisis games and brianna.

what will change when america picks its president i made muslim rage working the iran tight rope pushing china russia as occupy anger spreads the two parties still dictate will there be. a selection of clothes every day or take beginning of two hundred twenty second. welcome back here with r t now at least eleven people have been reported killed as libyan forces shelled the stronghold of the country's late leader mahmoud khadafi reports suggest there were no direct clashes between the two groups but fighters

from the besieged city lay responded with mortar rounds the attack on bani walid comes amid reports from human rights watch and dozens of gadhafi loyalists were massacred following his capture and killing a year ago while phone footage filmed by one of the militants shows a large group of detainees being abused more photos indicate many of those people were later executed the findings revealing the alleged war crime also was why the very same fighters to topple gadhafi still play a major role in media and politics yes ortiz had failed to investigate the deaths with analysts saying it's hardly surprising. i think churchill said the first victim of war is the truth if one looks at the what the government in libya is saying what their eyeballs of sad when they go indeed even the major powers that the u.s. and britain there were all telling. to say the least this is this revelation is not. you know look there's no documents but it is not. you everybody

expected the number i've attended a number of hearings in the human rights council where people who was gene the number of civilians who were killed by nato but i knew of the day nato and the us and western. themselves involved moving there without knowing who with whom. they have not looked at what is the possibility that after any any attempt to try and say that the revolution what she did is lead with some sort of policy this is just not the right people to vote. and that's the result of it so of course the human rights abuses were done by. by that evolution and by nato more on the aftermath of the libyan conflict dot com also there blind justice police in northern england taser and handcuffed a blind man who can barely walk the cops say they thought his behavior was

suspicious and that he was a samurai sword. also on our website hungry for help fifteen million americans sign up for food stamps during the four years of barack obama's term in office we've got the numbers. the european commission has denied it on a rainy and staged channel saying that two providers acted independently previously to iran slam the e.u. for completely jamming its nine hundred eighty and radio stations which broadcast across your band coincides with a further tightening of sanctions against the country mostly targeting its financial and trade sectors and a panel filmmaker and media analyst danny schechter things that simply doesn't want to hear a contrary point of view. i find it very troubling that television channels have been removed from the air suppressing the arends ability to tell its side of the story iran is under attack not only with oil sanctions but financial sanctions

there's a whole campaign underway to discredit its proposals and in the gauche asians are coming up on the nuclear issue even before the iran gets to make those proposals kind of a preemptive strike and now this just a few days after the european union received the nobel peace prize one of its first acts seems to have been to suppress freedom of the press and freedom of speech that is not very encouraging if you silence one side of that debate and don't even allow its voice to be heard at all clearly it was political you know it taking us one step closer to war and this is what the seems to be about the british did this first through their off common regulator removing press t.v. from the air in england and now the e.u. is followed through with a similar ban. we discussed iran's relationship with western nations with the

academic austin long as well as if its nuclear activities are anywhere as dangerous as the year presented here's a preview of what's coming up for you next hour. there's a pretty good read on what iran's capabilities in terms of uranium enrichment are the big question which i don't think anyone can give a highly confident answer to with does iran want of what people refer to as a threshold capability you have the words ability to produce a nuclear weapon quickly or do they want an actual deployed weapon according to u.s. intelligence community and the observers iran just hasn't made that decision in part because they don't need to they want to get to that threshold capability before they make any decisions about whether to go to go farther than that threshold because there's no point making that decision early in fact it might be detected by western intelligence and so you could tip your hand before you get to that threshold so i think that decision has been made.

let's take a look at some other stories from around the world hungary has seen opposing demonstrations staged by far right party supporters and the roman minority thousands gathered to blame the community for many things from street crime to litter while the minority protested state discrimination against them account rallies added further strain to ask leading tensions in the country indicating that nationalist sentiments could be on the rise. has been mounting around the us embassy and believe us thousands of people rallied against washington's refusal to extradite their former president is wanted by the supreme court on charges of causing the deaths of sixty seven protesters during an army crackdown on riots in two thousand and three the ex-president had to resign ousted by the unrest and political crisis and believe. right straight to business and you're following their. we're seeing many reports now suggesting

a russian energy major could become the biggest oil producer in the world that's exactly right and we're talking about rosneft here so far we've known that b.p. has fifty percent stake in their us and british b.p. was up for grabs but they haven't found out that which is the consortium represented by the russian side also want to sell their fifty percent stake and now it seems our raw stuff could buy the whole thing up more details on the head of rolls that is to meet his b.p. counterpart in london later in the day that's to discuss the buyout of the british companies a half of the venture earlier this week ross reportedly negotiated to buy the other half of it from the russian co-owners the deals are estimated to be worth around fifty three billion dollars in total and even though it's a big sum. from north capital it sure will find the money. is little news b.p. will come for the. interest in this joint venture i think next year

proves. to be completely rules new. company with a major. in the face of this. including from largest banks like bank so i don't think the experienced. international markets in europe ticked off the trading session this hour and so far so looking optimistic there we know that the euro zone leaders are expected to discuss the future all of the region in brussels later today for it see the meeting so far it seems that investors are hopeful that something will come out of that let's move on and took a look at the russian markets and here with oil prices are definitely helping both the i.d.'s and i was excited over half a percent oil prices at the highest level in the one we can also process energy minister said that russia will. amounts of oil this year but also currencies where
