a very warm welcome to you from all of us here in moscow. has caused chaos to the us presidential election with. voting disrupted but it's the economic storm over the last few years which is wiring the electorate. looks at criticism of the two major candidates. to the rich who are still hogging the wealth of the nation. as our. election coverage continues this week we turn our attention. now you must. accept. a land of opportunity where one can work hard and over time climb the proverbial economic ladder one year that myth was when occupy wall street activists camped out here in the park. 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 amount of americans are sliding down the proverbial ladder while the top one percent earning 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. america's ninety nine percent movement will be left with a 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 casting our bout 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. the bonus loving industry 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 a 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 the buy the moment changes come to america. in two thousand and eight barack obama 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 what we have cemented into place is a system of legalized bribery public elected officials arnason corporate employees

you know the flagrant sort of corruption the ability of this small group of haitians class of corporate oligarchy to write the laws write the legislation create a two tiered system this alternately 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. that day as election day draws near occupy activists say both candidates have pander to their financial don't. 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 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 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 lacking 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 i r t v our. coverage of the u.s. presidential campaign will continue on air and online all the way up to the vote

you can stay with us here at our to as we explore some of the most overlooked and ignored aspects of the race. what lies ahead for our q will the movement mobilize calls for a new america who stands for the ninety nine percent us election is close god monday october twenty ninth on our t.v. thanks for joining us on arts who today russia's foreign minister says international powers should put more pressure on the warring sides in syria after the latest truce was wrecked after meeting the international envoy to syria right here in moscow so to get out for off the western states and regional players to engage with president assad you've got a person office been following the talks right here in the russian capital. even though it was supposed to last just four days the ceasefire in syria didn't work and now the question on everybody's lips is what happens next and both russia's foreign minister lavrov and special envoy brahimi are placing their bets on this an

even communique which was signed by wall power center by just both sides of the conflict in syria to simultaneously put their weapons down and also for equal pressure to be applied on both of them from the outside but according to russia's foreign minister far from all countries which signed this agreement back in geneva are playing by the rules that i see in the in the let's say you'd used russia is probably the only country along those that took part in the geneva talks on the thirtieth of june which negotiates regularly with all sides in the syrian conflict the government and all opposition groups with no exceptions we expect our western partners and partners in the region to do the siege they should get used to the idea that without dialogue with the syrian government virtually nothing can be achieved and this is currently a major problem in moving towards a political process in syria internal special envoy brahimi said he is sorry that the ceasefire plan didn't work it was negotiated to take place during the course of

the feast of sacrifice was supposed to end today but was in fact broken right on the first day with a deadly blast in damascus then violence continued in different parts of the country throughout the weekend and was told by another deadly explosion in damascus on monday and russia's foreign minister says that with these provocations taking place the syrian government is also making disproportionate responses so mr brahimi is facing a very tough task of finding some sort of a diplomatic solution and more importantly making it work he himself says that your level of distrust between the two sides of a conflict in syria is so high right now it won't even when they begin discussing some sort of obligations each one expects automatically the other one to break its promises. reporting and ken stone from the hamilton coalition to stop the war he says the repercussions from the international community's failure to help me with this peace plan will be disastrous and not just

for syria. his mandate is to bring about peaceful negotiated political solution to the crisis in syria and if he thought he was in this mission what we were looking at is another mid-east war which would be a catastrophe for the people of syria jordan lebanon iraq iran and many other countries and of russia and china are dragging on the one side and the us and nato are dragging on the other it could be a catastrophe for all of humanity so there's a lot riding on his efforts to achieve a political solution. here watching r.t. and still ahead for you in this hour there's more pain ahead for a struggling greece south and struggles to pass reform as it needs to get another cash injection its creditors are planning to request even more sacrifices. must be prepared and get out of the way america's east coast braces for the onslaught of hurricane sandy. now thanks that's the reaction of

residents in east london to europe's largest mosque being planned for their backyard it will be right next to the olympic site as r.t. as polly boy found out is not only the sheer size but the islamic group developing it but they're worried about. four times bigger than some 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 london's looming but as a promise 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 pastor in the forces that are still working to bring the largest mosque the u.k. has ever seen into reality revered architects planning consultants and glitzy p.r. teams all paid for by the organization behind the idea to matt

a group that's causing significant concern this is a return beat him out of all the islamic groups has created ghettos over in toronto you know and kind of 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 whether it's 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 proposed site home to their current mosque it does not want to integrate the grounds on which search trying to set up here in britain and a big way and to be british they are going to western but actually they're also anti worldly they're also worldly 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 is muslims to harden up and maybe even lies the islam of ordinary muslims in this country and i mean so many muslims don't want that 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 side in how the mosque itself is governed or the local authority would say to us as. a planning application as this is currently being it would be inappropriate. at this stage in many ways if this went ahead to be like a tipping point. there be no stopping fundamentalist islam if 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 campaigners here of all religions say they

pretty much uncertain as it stands the ruling party along with the communists are winning this election with the majority of the votes but the exit poll results which came out late on sunday suggested that the opposition parties may be gaining some kind of advantage in the future parliament and in that case things would be looking very grim for the ruling party and for the current president victory on the college because the opposition has been saying all along that it would impeach the president should it get a majority in parliament and why in one way or another still the biggest intrigue in the future parliament is who the former boxer the former heavyweight champion of the world. will be joining in an alliance in the case that the ruling party does not get a complete majority in parliament that it will be will be the decisive figure if he decides to join the alliance of the opposition parties which are already signed an agreement to join you in the coalition in the future parliament things would go
