nice to. see. a fresh cache of arms is finding its way to the libyan government's deadly assault on the perceived city advani walid these residents are accusing western governments of turning a blind eye to the bloodshed. italy and rage anti-government protests in the north of the country turned violent the fierce clashes between demonstrators and police while in rome tens of thousands marched against austerity cuts during what's called

anti monkey day. and the same message is drawing crowds into the streets of the spanish capital with thousands of converged on the country's parliament. al-qaeda reiterate its support for the syrian opposition while the rebel group kidnaps a lebanese journalist in aleppo citing his works in consistency with the revolution recalls. and also reporting this hour a little over a week before the u.s. presidential election of obama romney is still neck and neck in the polls while third party candidates strive to offer an alternative many americans could be ready for. international news and come and live from the new center here in moscow this is. after three weeks of siege and deadly rocket shelling from libyan army forces.

thousands of families and trying to flee the town of bani walid despite government claims the military action is now over and aid is being distributed residents of colonel gadhafi is former stronghold say there's no water food or medicine but even those who managed to escape the violence say their sufferings far from over as they're being blocked by militias on a desert highway look at this. this is good this gun and this people know this sort of thing now why you don't know one week now this is the buildout sign and didn't know what the were doing when i was leaving when a thing when when one of the government bottlebrush why it was can you want to find it homes and shelters indiscriminately more than two thousand families have fled seven families are with us at the moment yesterday we fled to the valley but they were firing into even their their families who died in the shelling children died too they fired by women and children the straight of that head. i saw explosions

and rockets of our hands i saw the dad. libyan political activist whose relatives are trapped in bani walid says those inside the town feel abandoned by the international community just a warning you may find some of the following images upsetting. being the. houses are being both. the people who are inside the city who can. leave the city you don't feel the militia or fear of. the inside city if the united nation it won't if you let people go inside. you will see a. picture. of him until he embraces the west is. letting these militias do whatever they want to believe

you need to kill them you know what i want and the worst is even criticizing these militias so i will leave you alone at the moment the first of. all good to a few honest all of us militias. i spoke to one of the miles he's a former british ambassador to libya and he believes that libyan should now be left to solve their own problems regardless of nato eagerness to intervene into the country's affairs last year. i think that these problems are got to be sorted out by the libyans and they are being sorted out of the worst problem at the moment is the one in delhi were lead and that's a political problem compounded by a very old feud between two towns between misrata and bani walid despite the politics many are saying well what's different between syria and libya a lot of calls now for intervention through in syria to prevent a humanitarian crisis there and yet the west is accused of turning a blind eye and yet he surely one has to recognize the fact that there is

a humanitarian crisis there in libya at the moment. well you can call it humanitarian crisis relatively small the. lead has something like seventy thousand inhabitants the number of fighters who are believed to be loyal to gadhafi is not very large but of course fighting is terrible and of course it's got to it we must hope that it comes to an end as soon as possible. well if he is keeping a close eye on the situation in bani walid firsthand accounts from the embattled town or available of r t dot com a website check out the analysis on the troubles libya is facing a year after its longstanding leader moammar gadhafi was toppled in the revolt with the help of nato. massive crowds have gathered in the spanish capital in protest over a sturdy measures being forced on them or further report right from the crowd

outside the country's parliament. i think he's number that attend that hearing but i think this thing is this a new movement twenty five percent of the country and now unemployed. and enforce monuments are out so well i cannot so this leak losing as he's a man almost certain that the years a dozen homes experience the problems the euro crisis doesn't discriminate we've seen protests like this happening in italy in greece it matured out in protest gang only so clashes breaking out in the north of italy the level of anger amongst people who really rising we seeing this year oh crisis the projected year quites is dragging on for a number of years now really causing people as a very man of economic paying. well for such a dream rue says the situation in italy is quickly getting out of control and the country may be the next in line to become the epicenter of the crisis. but people

who are very well aware that the government's main goal is to who was the story on the italian people and so the protests goal was really to sort of discredit the government in a much broader sense and argue for a return to a more democratic form of politics in europe the problem is that the situation is the enemy getting worse especially since november last year when this i mean that technically going into power now we've seen serious tax hikes we've seen spending cuts we've seen reforms in all the holes in the pension system a. veritable assault on labor rights and here in florence i mean you can even see it in the streets in the outskirts there are more and more people who are sleeping out in the streets i mean the poor girls at night and the situation is getting worse it's not just out there it is but i do think that it's in the immediate next in line with the situation in in spain especially it's been further out of control and the alternative is actually not to have cut back spending money to invest more in the economy to invest in growth to make sure that there are jobs and the only

way to ultimately get out of this is to grow your way out of it and not just cut your way out of it so one of the main arguments of the people here is that it is if you actually listen to the people who are not too good for the national interests from abroad you will come up with a lot more sensible and a lot more rational response to this crisis. well stay with us for all the updates on the protests raging across the e.u. as our correspondents bring you the very latest. al qaeda leader ayman al-zawahiri has called for muslims to kidnap westerners as a bargaining chip to win the release of its members health captive around the world in a new video posted online he also urged islamists to support syrian rebels with quote all that they can he accused of giving the syrian president opportunities to quell the uprising the terrorist leader sees as the rise of jihadists meanwhile in syria

itself the rebels that al qaeda pledged to support have kidnapped a lebanese journalist saying his work is not in line with their revolution. writer editor in chief of a german monthly news magazine i spoke to maloney he says it's not the first time the opposition has resorted to such tactics. what they do is a criminal action at this journalist but he is not the first journalist to work in that we see and huge number of journalists we are chilled by the by the rebels in syria. related groups i just want. to add to remember that the journalists all of the syrian t.v. channels syrian used to be which where were. some journalists and where the news building was to take to also in the end of june this year so what i ask where are the organisations where are the organisations mortars. or where are they protesting

against these actions and i ask myself something else i have been in syria as a journalist. and what i can say i met a lot of journalists who were not reporting consistent to the syrian government because. they were knocking at their feet we are free to virtually this country so you see that there is a huge difference how do you know this murder in syria a monster huge difference in the risk. as the conflict drags on it's not only syrians living inside the war torn country that is being hit just across the border one druze community is facing tough times as vital trade with damascus is now dried on the portal not.

nineteen iranian channels have been banned in the countries that's called iran for not tolerating free speech among other things well played lads well played i love the smell of hypocrisy in the morning personally but of censorship doesn't bother me that much because there has always been censorship and there were always be censorship if there are any words or symbols or opinions that could get you bumped off the air or legal trouble in your country then guess what you have censorship sorry to say it but that's how it is i don't mind a country saying that there is something so antithetical to their way of life that it must be banned i'm fine with that that's your business in your country and you should be able to protect your culture and your values but don't lie to me and tell me that you live censorship free when you don't it's your choice you let your reading channels back on the air or come out of the closet and admit you believe in restricted speech but that's just my opinion.

the news continues here on live from moscow the race for the u.s. presidency is heading towards its final week with a poll showing both republican and democrat candidates as being effectively tied while many americans disenchanted with obama romney might be ready for an alternative and some don't even realize there's already a different choice for healthiness took to the streets of new york to find out of people no third party's candidates exist at all. this week third party candidates for the u.s. presidency held a debate do americans even know that this week let's talk about that did you watch the third party debate. do you think did best. obama do best no that's not the third party debate who do you think did a good job in the third party debate i think think the parag obama did

a little bit better job than mitt romney i know that's not the third party debate that was the main candidates the day but the third parties are we have actual other candidates that are running did you know that no i didn't know there's jill stein she's the the green party there's gary johnson libertarian and none of these names ring a bell and i don't think it's unfortunate that americans don't know they have more than two main options but you know we're stuck with democrats or republicans we don't go over for that so why do you think that is. the tradition tradition. we do we used to why i don't think either one of the third party have other ideas other than democratic from somebody sure they do they're against the n.c.a.a. they're against the war and junks they're against drone strikes there's a lot of other ideas coming from which you don't agree with any about no drone strikes no why not protecting us and saving our soldiers from being killed even

when they have a very low actually percentage rate of unfortunate collateral damage as part of war you know what else is running besides the two main ones don't i don't so do you feel informed enough to make a vote. no. good to the good of us i think the media has pretty much blocked that whole aspect out why do they do that they're supposed to be impartial the supposed to be saying the news the poor ocracy you know i mean. you've got democrats you've got republicans two heads of the same snake and they're both supporting big business big corporations they want to make it look like you have a choice you know two sides of the same coin so it seems like most americans don't know that there are more than two candidates running for president and with only a few days left of voting day chances are obama or romney is going to be elected.

while being talked up by the mainstream media third party candidates to have a chance to deliver their messages to the versions here on r.t. and a little more than a week the fun a round of the us presidential third party debate will be hosted on this very channel in the run up to the event moderator tom hartman from marty's a big picture shared his view on its significance. third parties historically have have influenced presidential elections there's never been a third party that actually won one but there have been third parties that have changed the nature of presidential elections i don't think that in this election cycle the third parties are going to have a real significant effect in terms of this particular election but what they are doing and what these debates are doing is raising those issues raising those topics and subjects that generally are ignored by both the corporate mainstream media and the two major political parties in ways that that tend to energize movements and

movement politics is typically where actual political change happens movement politics eventually infiltrate even major party politics so so i think that these are very important events and then there's the fun run of the party debates you'll see that nowhere else but exclusively here on monday november the fifth and if we get we have special coverage of the u.s. election on air and online each week looking at the race from a different perspective and starting this monday we assess the presidential campaign through the eyes of the protest movement with a focus on domestic policies and the economy. what will change when america picks its president amid muslim rage. pushing china and russia as occupy anger spreads the two parties still dictate their future to a selection of clothes if they are to beginning of october twenty second. activists have staged a protest in central moscow to support opposition figures who were this week charged with plotting disorder in russia the rally was broken up by police who said

the group violated the law requiring advance pollution at the demonstrations in the city center some leaders were detained but really shortly after they'd been demanding all charges against high profile opposition leaders. and his fellow activists be thrown out the three were accused on friday of preparing unrest in the police force and charges they deny was triggered by a documentary shown on russian t.v. . war stories available right now on our website including dangerous waters around fukushima eighteen months of japan's nuclear disaster the plant's owner admits dangerously high levels of radiation are still flowing directly into the sea. plus and. the story of one chinese man who's received more than one hundred thousand dollars after suing his wife for giving birth to a baby. as

the bloodshed in syria continues its effects are being felt in the nearby israeli occupied golan heights. reports now in one druze community which has for years been dependent on the masses and is facing desperate times because of the conflict. he cannot hear the gunfights of homes and aleppo from here but residents of the small village of marsh in the golan heights are nevertheless feeling the effects of fighting in syria since two thousand and five the druze farmers here in the golan heights have been selling the excess of their crops through damascus and trade facilitated by the united nations and the red cross but since their arrest began in syria many farmers here start to worry that these may end up being a rather bitter fruit apples are the main source of income for the druze families in this area until seven years ago they struggled while trying to compete with the

produce of these really settlers who locals say the same apples but because of the israeli government subsidies pay less to go to harvest and sell for a bigger price an offer from damascus seemed like a blessing at the time the syrian government. is out of syria so their produce our produce is part of syria so they were committed. to help the. farmers. for marketing in syria the golan heights have been occupied by israel since one thousand nine hundred sixty seven some twenty thousand jews living here consider this land syrian and themselves syrians does a helping hand from damascus seemed a logical solution to the problem even the israeli government allowed the export to take place but with the civil war raging on across the border there still has been no offer for the apples from the syrian government something which begins to boree

local farmers. we are just simple people we have no idea of politics but our country used to be. and now the north and that affects us financially farmers say this year's harvest is much bigger than last year's but says the quota for the israeli markets has already been made and syria remains silent the druze leave much of the produce too right. but. the whole of the middle east is in trouble now big and we are the ones getting hit it in. the golan heights. to some other news from around the world at the station and then our world update the violence has continued to massa liberations of the muslim holiday of meat in iraq several blasts claimed the lives of at least eighteen people and injured twenty four in the first attack a roadside bomb detonated as a bus carrying pilgrims from iran passed by it came long after a god attack on worshippers in the northern city of mosul authorities are now

r.t. in just a couple of minutes from now we join max and stacey for a look at what's really going on behind closed doors on wall street that's in the kaiser report. trimmings in this tree even for specialists a voice can produce several sounds it warms but to do the means the art of throat singing comes naturally picked up like a language. a language of communicating with nature it said that's where throat singing originates from the unions believe not only animals but also the surrounding objects like reverse forests and stones of souls and by imitating the sounds they

believe assumes to capture the power of nature. was. there are special instruments that accompany the singing if gainey says there is even a legend about his instrument a gill it says once there lived a poor shefford who had the best horse that won every competition but jealous people killed it on the horse was revived as an instrument that was it is up to full is because of the spirit of the horse going to his dream he said make an instrument from the tree the sounding board from the leather of my face the strings . and to remember me make an engraving of my head part of the instrument he did so i called the instrument again which means come back and this melody only instrument is called.

to fly as one of the most famous groups in the republic there. next goal is to tour broad they say for you are p. and since difficult to pick up and sing so i ask them to teach me and see if i can do it. cheer it up check their work. share oh you. did that was sure you can know who was you think gary are oh. but now to be part of the song and not the actual throughout singing which i wouldn't even try to repeat. so maybe you have to be born here to be able to sing like this i thought so until i met she looks like it to vini and i don't even speak their language but she is from

japan. most of us to modern minds from two hundred years ago until sappy here she's not planning a professional singing career she keeps practicing just because it's become part of her nature. oh man economies are welcome to the kaiser report you know when you know world filled with risk and so someone must be punished for it no most pot smoker to shoot straight. racks yes we see it of course in the financial world where we see financial disaster after financial disaster and the people of europe of athens have

made sure it of america must pay for it right well we also see it in the whole scientific world italian scientists convicted over earthquake warning six scientists and a government official were sentenced to six years in prison each for manslaughter by an italian court on monday this is of last week for failing to give adequate warning of an earthquake that killed more than three hundred people in like in two thousand and nine but i know where this is going obviously what about the economists who failed to predict the financial earthquake what's the penalty for them while clearly this type of science of course there is some predictable outcomes in some scientific method but in the realm of economics it's all voodoo and tea leaves raining there is no science behind it it's guesswork at best so we have to make sure we understand that when we're evaluating economists we know that basically and so bunch of money but the internet has not yet been scientific rules

to established for economics yet it's still very much. we don't really know exactly what makes the economics work yet and in a way it's the opposite in economics in that you hear all the time now the man who . predicted the financial crash hear that over and over of her every single economist or financial expert announcer introduced interviewed on a television show but you also have this. notion that there was there were people like berkeley board who predicted that fraud would lead to financial collapse right won't economics is tied to the human psychology and human nature whereas something like chemistry or physics is not tied to those vagaries so in the realm of economics you can see when human nature takes hold of bubble forms like the real estate bubble or the dot com.
