betting on both you know true course race wall street picks up the bill as obama and romney burn through hundreds of millions of dollars hoping to buy a friend in the future president. the never ending violence in syria says more challengers for special envoy lakhdar brahimi is in moscow for talks after the holiday truce he proposed to be immediately co-ops. and plans for a mega mosque in london see even some muslims in opposition they fear the real goal of the group behind the project is to incite radical ideas in the community.

from our of our studios in central moscow you're watching are you with me and he said now it's ten am this morning in the russian capital good to have you with us now though hurricane sandy is still only approaching the u.s. it's already wreaking havoc in the presidential race candidates have been forced to flee its path and abandon campaign events in the area but in the meantime we continue our special coverage on the most expensive election u.s. history in u.s. history as our reports now on where all that money is comes is coming pouring in from. as our tees up close us alexion coverage continues this week we turn our attention to domestic issues concerning voters here u.s. presidents have the stork we refer to america as an exceptional nation a land of opportunity where one can work hard and over time climb the proverbial economic ladder but why. that myth was boston when occupy wall street activists

camped out here in zuccotti park igniting the nationwide grassroots movement protesting corporate greed wealth inequality and middle class today the fact is the us gap between rich and poor has never been wider and unprecedented amounts of americans are sliding down the proverbial ladder while the top one percent earn an average annual income of twenty four million dollars not to bet on both horses running in the nation's biggest political race. it's the most expensive political playoff in u.s. history a competition for the country's most powerful position one of the things i suspect governor romney and i probably agree on is let's come back to something the president i agree on no matter who wins the two thousand and twelve election. in the. americas ninety nine percent movement will

be left with the one percent president regardless of who we vote for wall street wins i mean that's really one of the main messages is that when we're we're casting about we see that we have these corporations giving so much money to candidates and they can't be objective when it comes to the interests of the vast majority. of voters loving industries that ignited america's economic crisis real estate collapse job hemorrhage and foreclosure epidemic. is also on track to break campaign donation records for the two thousand and twelve presidential election each election cycle each four years that cost significantly more they did four years ago so running for president united states is now a half a billion dollar undertaking you need half a billion dollars to credibly run for the president of united states and you're going to raise that from large corporations and wealthy individuals in the case of mitt romney wealth attracts wealth the republican candidate has a reported net worth of two hundred million dollars. and according to the center

for responsive politics the top eight financial contributors to romney's campaign are wall street banks with employees from goldman sachs bank of america and morgan stanley rounding out the top three. this is a by the homeowner changes come to america. in two thousand and eight for aco bamma became the largest beneficiary of wall street backing in u.s. election history. receiving more than forty two million dollars from the finance insurance and real estate sectors it's hard to believe that smart rational guys and big companies with huge research departments and a real understanding of the society are going to give that much money and expect nothing in return so their donation is probably not a charity since becoming president obama's justice department hasn't prosecuted one person in connection to the two thousand and eight financial collapse on the other hand top executives from j.p. morgan chase citigroup and general electric were recruited to work in the white

house while we have cemented into place is a system of legalized bribery public elected officials are in essence corporate employees you know the flagrant sort of corruption the ability of this mall patients class of corporate oligarchy to write the laws write the legislation create a two tiered system this ultimately is going to implode according to a two thousand and twelve harris poll the majority of americans see wall street executives as dishonest and overpaid with an overwhelming amount of citizens in support of tougher regulation. and overhaul the occupy wall street movement began championing last year as millions of americans flooded the streets every day thousands facing brutal arrests. to protest wall street greed economic inequality and corporate influence over u.s. politics. as election day draws near the occupy activists say both candidates have

pander to their financial donors and successfully ignored the biggest american grassroots movement to be seen in decades we see little difference between the two parties they're both basically imperialist parties and i think that one thing that i do i can really do is expose how the democratic system as we have it right now is basically a sham the political system is so broken in so many ways that the reason that we continue to come out in the streets and raise you know ring the alarm bells around economic injustice and economic situation in our country is because you know people aren't doing their job millions of americans will soon be heading to the polls locking support for either major candidate but voting against the one they liked least however with wall street successfully cementing strong ties to both presidential runners some may wonder if the winner of this election has already

been declared hurry up or not our t v our. well our coverage of the u.s. presidential campaign will continue on the air and online exploring some of the most overlooked in our right ignored aspects of the race all the way up to the election will be exploring america's domestic policies and challenges in doubt stay with our team ahead of the vote. want to lies ahead for our q will the movement mobilize calls for a new america who stands for the going to nine percent to a selection of clothes go. to the twenty ninth. a four day ceasefire in the bloody syrian standoff officially runs out on monday this while state media points the finger at rebel friendly terrorist groups accusing them of undermining the latest peace after all the truce was proposed by u.n. arab league envoy to syria lakhdar brahimi who is currently in moscow for talks let's not get the latest from our teacher corpus cannot following his visit to the

resting capital you go for the visit comes just as brahimi is first peace initiative collapsed why moscow. well the main purpose of this visit is to hunt for some fresh ideas because as this is the right he has been trying to help resolve the crisis in syria for two months now but very little progress has been made if any at all the so-called cease fire which was reached for the course of the feast of sacrifice holidays ends today and it didn't work since at least three blasts happened in different parts of syria including the largest one. right on the first day of the cease fire at least five people were killed but the opposition claims that it's much more than that to russia brought this issue up at the un security council but it couldn't agree even on a condemning statement meanwhile the rebels keep on pointing the finger at the government saying it broke the cease fire wall damascus still claims that it's battling well organized terrorists control from outside the country clearly there's

still a long way before you need sort of agreement could be reached at the u.n. united nations so this is definitely a good time for some new ideas from mr brahimi he said to meet with the russian foreign minister later on monday and of course bring you all the details of this meeting as it happens it's easy to get out of keeping a close eye on the special envoys visit to moscow for us thanks for that. u.s. based political analyst dr randy short says that elements inside syria are not the only ones responsible for the failure of the cease fire. well it shows set back use of these extremist groups has no two inch. and since they're being supported by the saudis to achieve gulf states united states and its nato allies they want the side to she just joined in exhaust and the rebels know it so why should they on in the sea and if you just keep it to date between the dhamma and this month's just

romney you have these two people dying for heads of state trying to do anything they can to destroy the government in syria so the moral support to t.c.'s not syria not on their side. remember you can always go to arjun dot com to find more stories pictures and analysis as well as catch up on anything you've missed here on there here's a look at what's lined up for you right now french researchers turn to the ancient art of alchemy as gold prizes so are saying they can turn water into precious metal . can state wide identity past a foreign hacker steal three point six million social security numbers in the u.s. state of south carolina affecting three out of four residents. out of the frying pan and into the fire and then a tarion crisis for the residents who fled the libyan town of bani walid is looming as they've now found themselves stranded in the desert they're running out of fuel

a week you probably want to go back to that you. were talking about iran. and they are worried about the future of their. ukraine's political landscape faces unpredictable changes. or of an select census templates the fate of the country's new parliament in the hands of independent candidates and a former champion boxer that and more coming up here on our t.v. in testimony. horses and bayonets big bird these are the words of internet legend from the two thousand and twelve presidential debates when a candidate says something dumb or odd to so much fun to make silly pictures like these on the internet whoa he he but the problem is that the person who wins the

bait is the one who makes the best argument not he who doesn't make a verbal slip ups people react to these debates like schoolgirls picking prom queen or rummy talked about big bird who howard dean screamed yeah gaffes don't matter that much it matters if the ideas the candidates present are effective or not but more importantly it matters if they will actually do them if a future kids a proposed a brilliant economic plan that could save america but instead of saying pennies let the word penis slip or gossip. liberty culture would make him lose the election for sure has a potent army of photoshop or sort of hundreds of copper fellas is drawn all over the internet by the next day a schoolgirl attitude towards politics won't do anything except make fun internet names but that's just my opinion.

live from moscow well in london and that's why my group has intensified as europe's largest mosque in the eastern side of the city next to the olympic site to blighty jamal is often described as a separatist sacks and two of the seventh of july bombers are believed to have prayed and their places of worship are found out if there's grounds for concern. four times bigger than. paul's cathedral a mega mosque that will fit ten thousand people and it could be coming to london's east end if it gets the go ahead it's built the river in center will be the same size as the london looming but as a power station it would also be the biggest place of worship in the u.k. of any religion but critics have slammed the proposal saying that it would create a muslim faster than the forces that are still working to bring the largest mosque the u.k. has ever seen into reality one of it architects planning consultants and glitzy

p.r. teams all paid for by the organization behind the idea to him at a group that's causing significant concern they teach that if you want a good muslim you must separate all from non muslim it's only to be a huge amount of all that started over there is only to beat him out of all the islamic groups has created ghettos over in toronto you know in canada you go across the philippines and see what they've done the philippine you're right there around the world is a huge group and wherever they go they create barriers they create hostility they create division they create separatism with its unassuming name the riverine centers website claims there's a demand for a new muslim place of worship in culturally diverse east london not that they're happy to talk about it it's representatives refused to speak to us when we approach the prepares site home to their current mosque it does not want to integrate that is counter to david cameron's policy of multiculturalism the grounds on which the

trying to set up here in britain and a big way hot anti british they are anti western but actually they're also anti worldly they're of the world but this is not just going to be a mosque this is going to be a center of training in which to reach out to. islam eyes muslims to harden up and mediæval lies the islam of ordinary muslims in this country and i mean so many muslims don't want that british muslim campaigners told us the proposal should be blocked before it's too late the british government is walking a tightrope and the reason is this a lot of people oppose mosques. and due to some folks here and the british government doesn't want to be seen to be pandering to them rightly so however the problem here is that muslims themselves are opposing this mosque more on the

grounds that they don't want to worship their god but on the grounds that women aren't allowed the local population of muslim population has no on the site and how the mosque itself is governed for some it's a misguided but widely held fear of offense which could see the center eventually get off the ground people are burying their heads in the sand and they're not they're not prepared to give you sift out the good from the bad and poor thing by worse it is i think that it will go through unless more people are prepared to look at it for what it actually is this is not anti muslim it is not anti most. it is anti this. develop all the local authority would say to us as you can confer you have received a planning application as this is currently being which it would be inappropriate to comment sure at this stage in many ways if this went ahead if you like

a tipping point. there but no stopping fundamentalist islam this one goes up well if that happens we all need to leave the country over the last one out please turn the lights off while the council ponders campaign as head of all religions say they hope the decision makers choose carefully just today let's set up shop in the british capital. k. t. east london. it's twenty minutes past the hour let's now take a look at what else is happening around the world the u.s. is bracing itself for what's predicted to be one of the most fearsome storms the country has ever seen hurricane sandy is stalking the eastern coast threatening to menace the most populated corridor in the country mass evacuations have been ordered in new jersey thousands of flights have been grounded and new york authorities have shut down the subway all that amid fears that sandy could merge with winter weather fronts and evolved into a so-called franken storm. at least ten people have become victims of

a suicide attack on a catholic church in northern nigeria the blast also wounded more than one hundred when an explosives laden a car rammed the building during sunday mass to spark fears of reprisal attacks as the town is witnessed clashes between christians and muslims in the past no one claimed responsibility for the bombing though islamists act boko rom was rumored to have had plans to attack. mo counting is underway after ukraine's parliamentary election poll so far so the ruling party is in the lead but opposition parties have more votes in total while the final picture looks like it will swing on where a former boxer champion turned politician decides to put his party's weight like sears have to keep reports of the ruling party may have this election in terms of the number of votes they've gained they won in the first place according to most of the exit polls but the combined votes combined seats of the opposition parties

may eventually bring them the majority in the new ukrainian parliament and this could in fact spell big trouble for president bush because the opposition has been saying all along that one of its first decisions should again a majority in the new parliament would be to impeach the ukrainian president the biggest intrigue which remains still is whether the party of the former. heavyweight champion boxing champion of the world. will be willing to join the opposition in the new coalition within the parliament because so far it has been saying that he will not form the coalition with the ruling party but still he hasn't officially confirmed that he will be willing to make a new alliance of parties within the parliament with the opposition parties the exit poll results are based only on the proportional seats on the parties which were voted for him during this election but things may change when they count the votes for independent candidates which were also running and they will make up in fact for the parliament clearly the main talking will take place after the official

results of the central action commission come out and we are expecting it to happen somewhere in the next two or three days this will not happen on monday because there are about twenty million of votes to be counted so we are certainly waiting for all the figures and numbers to be updated from the central issue commission and we will bring all the latest details and all the latest results as we get them. time now for business here in our t.k. he joins us and german these going treasure hunting tell us more yeah and he's so wild that stricken year as i members beg germany for help the biggest european economy is not completely sure about his own financial say to another country has decided to check up on its held a brawl something that has actually never been carried out before an area phenomena explains. what you can see behind me is the have quarters of the windows bank germany's central bank in frankfurt the other may look ordinary and plain but don't be mistaken this is where exactly behind these walls the country's gold is stored

and watched carefully twenty four seven though not all of it is here it's not have been elsewhere in germany ironically the majority of the nation's strategic resources is held outside the country and in france great britain and more than sixty percent in new york germany owns the world's second biggest gold reserves with a total of thirty four. hundred tons worth billions of euros after the second world war the country's infrastructure wasn't up to him and was such a valuable hole of gold bars and then at the time of the cold war the fear was that it would be too risky to keep it right next to the hand of the r. and curtain but today both arguments are equally outdated second world war is a distant memory while more than twenty years have already passed since the fall of the berlin wall and germany's gold is still where it's been all alone its exact marabouts are a hot topic here can truly be considered a national reserve not even in town and perhaps even more importantly can the

country be sure and it still exists in a recent twist germany's own federal all the jews admit is the gold never been physically checked by didn't just bank the banks heed banks saying they can be no doubt in the security of foreign deposits science but some experience here in germany see the country's become a victim of its good relations with the un as darry not to rock the boat and ask questions in case it shows a lack of trust and take some of the golden shine off their friendship so no one here in germany can really be sure that the country responsible for bailing out its neighbors can bail out itself refreshen r.t. from frankfurt in germany and moving on which out the most to mask because the bell has indeed a wrong hair and after a lackluster performance last week the markets well they got off to the same start really i mean they've only been trading for about twenty five minutes or so so much can change but we are expecting trading to be relatively good and that's because

the new york stock exchange has actually counseled trading for today and that's because hurricane sandy powells towards the city says the safety of course this is what the ruble storing them because that too is up for sale now and they get a mate is to climbing actually gets a basket of currencies the euro is heading south also. asian stocks iow having a short session a lot was going on that retail sales for japan increase in less than four calls all also developers all falling off the home combs government decided to impose its property tax not targeting overseas by its so we're going to stay with the economy and stay with gold actually because all to talk to political analyst and socialist jack goldstone to hear his goals and how europe and the u.s. could return to the pall of the financial.
