ten pm tuesday night here in moscow welcome and watching r t you with me kevin zero in on our top story the birthplace of the anti corporate occupy movement in new york's been raided and cleared out by the police hundreds of protesters who've been camped out in zuccotti park for the last two months have been evicted offices reportedly used force to take out some of the activists with witnesses suggesting look pepper spray and tear gas is and authorities removed all the ten square citing health and safety concerns but protesters so that's just an excuse to sabotage a massive demonstration that was planned for those day after is more important as the streets. here city mayor michael bloomberg says the first amendment protects free speech but not the use of sleeping bags and camps to occupy an ark and this is why billionaire mayor says that when activists. are they cannot bring any up their tents charts or sleeping bags however the lawyers for work. occupy activists say

a work order has been issued to allow protesters to green sleeping answered tents back to zuccotti park are boarding to work or to new york city judge said that mayor bloomberg bus show cause for the occupy wall street protesters from zuccotti park early tuesday morning when hundreds of police officers dozens of them in bright peer gynt asuka park it was somewhat of a secret sweep the activists were not foot notified and they knew of this when the cops came in with flow plates and siren it's a mandated that all of those occupiers that are living there about two hundred or so leave immediately and remove their property from the park i've witnessed says he saw us using pocket knives to cut open your tennis visit people leaving and yelling for them to get out many of the protesters did leave peacefully many of them were

shocked he didn't realize what was happening what was going on hundreds of cops were surrounding them but other activists did resist some tied themselves to trees there was a video that's been seen and shown in film of some of their resisting object is being manhandled by the police least seventy people thus far have been arrested and some eyewitnesses say that sound cannons very used by the n.y.p.d. to try to evacuate anybody on any of the occupy acts it is that were resisting to leave the park this is maybe rally even more support for the for the for the movement but at the same time it has been a huge blow because one of the important one and occupier in new york at the time of the police raid so the authorities heavy handed response was an infringement of civil liberties. what i saw was essentially wall to wall and

cops in riot gear. i've never seen so many police cars in my entire life i think that americans have no choice try to essentially raise these grievances with government because our government has been controlled by factions you know every institution of society from the press and the civics where to our elections are controlled by john and factions that are essentially you know creating a myriad elysium uses of a government that preys on the resources and the spirits of citizens this is the state of our democratic republic it is indicate that this continued who are brutality on the part of the cops especially coming at you a and you know not a lot even arresting you know members of the press not allowing any of the press to film what was going on i think that it's essentially going to create war dissent in this country because this is not an ideological protest this is a protest that is based on people actually experiencing the consequences of

a government that preys on the resources and the spirits of citizens you can arrest an idea you know occupy to me individually is the civic square in america and i doubt americans are going to continue to allow our civic square to be taken from us . over the past couple of months i'll be keeping a close saw on the nationwide standoff between america's occupy protesters and the police our correspondents following developments from the scene there as they see it we visit our twitter feed atif twitter feed the latest information first time one piece of grass and all of the got the most recent postings to all the protests on our you tube.

hosting high profile members of syria's opposition in the latest attempt the words the talks with the country's government it comes a day after the kremlin slammed western countries are backing syrian regime forces in the returns to overthrow president bashar al assad peter all of a report. well what we've heard from the syrian opposition delegation today is very interesting indeed they said that they would like to see a u.n. resolution put in place now this u.n. resolution would not be a resolution allowing any foreign military intervention that is something that they are vehemently against they share that stance with russia this would be a u.n. resolution allowing observers on the ground in the country and allowing observers to to world see what's going on at the embattled cities that are still under siege

in syria now they also said that they would continue to keep on calling for the resignation the stepping down of president bashar al assad and they called on the international community to help with us. we have said that we want to give a political solution to the crisis a chance and this is also the demand of the syrian people therefore we are calling on those countries that want a peaceful outcome to put pressure on the president to step down we do want to prevent any military involvement in the syrian crisis and prevent a repetition of the libyan scenario we are in favor of a peaceful solution through negotiations. on saturday the arab league announced that they were going to suspend syria from their organization now that suspensions expected to be rubber stamp to the meeting on wednesday in morocco this really leaves aside on syria alone in the arab world we heard from the king of jordan king

abdullah saying that if he was in assad's position that he would be considering stepping down himself. the news this syria had be would be suspended from the arab league was greeted with dismay here in russia for storage minister sergei lavrov saying that it was counterproductive to an ongoing discussions of peace and to getting people to the table to talk this out saying they try suspending so. area from the arab league that they give the opposition in protests to try and implement regime change instead of trying to talk this out and finding a peaceful solution now the news that syria would be suspended from the arab league cost thousands of people to take to the streets of damascus and other cities across the country protesting against this we saw some protests outside of the embassies of saudi arabia and qatar two nations which voted to suspend syria from millie the

people of syria and damascus saying clearly thinking that the suspension of syria from the arab league not the way to bring about peace in the country. meanwhile anti-government forces inside syria are also turning of the heat on the regime scores of state security officers been gunned down by suspected army defectors in the south of the country has been especially bloody day for syria with nearly one hundred killings with the u.n. estimates that a total of more than three and a half thousand people have lost their lives in the uprising so far foreign journalists are banned from moving around freely in syria making it virtually impossible to confirm the. other from the center for middle east studies told me the regime should open its doors media so the world can see what's really happening . to stop the military action or we have to stop it from both ways when they ask the syrian government to stop military operations who will compensate the surgeon to support their military or their. operation against the situation in

syria there is a lack of trust media the syrians. could not until today convince the old world that they do have any children and the international community is not with them for about what's going on in syria i think the syria will open their doors to the mass media they would sure the whole world that there is a god who are fighting to not only their governments but they usually of the state and they are killing people and the government of syria must use your security forces to stop those are tax. this is r t live from moscow still ahead for you this hour scandal in high places moscow former mayor of the super rich wife are under scrutiny again over half a billion dollars stolen from one of the city's banks. britain's in pole position to take the lion's share of the spoils of libya's vast postwar oil reserves london

city executives have been offered lucrative oil and gas contracts as the national transitional council is tightening business opportunities to foreign investors our correspondent laura smith has more. the effort to talk will gadhafi was an effort that was initially led by the u.k. and also france and the u.k. sent in its air force and it also used its navy to make a naval blockade around libya and now the national transitional council in libya is saying that it's friends will be rewarded and these are not just words we've seen a couple of trips in the last two weeks or so earlier this month the u.k. department of trade and industry of working party to libya to have a look around see what needed doing what needed rebuilding and now the national transitional council has come to london to hold a meeting with top city business executives to drum up interest of what they're

calling massive opportunities in. libya so what we're seeing really is this direct correlation between participation in the effort she had saffy and contracts that are awarded afterwards and we know that libya has the biggest oil reserves in africa but this seems to give more fuel to that argument seems to make it more obvious that the constant professions of this humanitarian goals seem to have been made a mockery of by this and as someone said to me last week we form you know we destroy and now we get the contract to rebuild the place and that there is this seemingly direct correlation as i say and we also heard at the time of reports of evidence of faltering before nato even got involved in this we've heard reports that the national transitional council told the french that if they sent in their war planes then the libyans eventually would awards to tell the french all companies thirty five percent of all the oil contracts are up for grabs and for the u.k.

of course which which is looking like it could be one of the main players in this this is turned out to be excellent business estimates vary as to how much the the war cost the u.k. but it was sort of settled around half a billion dollars now and now we're looking at thirty billion dollars in contracts up for grabs over the next ten years so it certainly looks like an excellent investment. a correspondent in london in italy the newly appointed prime minister mario monti is hard at work creating a controversial new technocrat government and it's expected to be made up of an elected experts rather than politicians to try to rescue the country from its towering debt crisis was that informed the premier designate will face the confidence vote parliament that could be this week he'll then need to work to reduce at least deficit and boost its economic growth under immense pressure for the new meantime over in greece new pm there look at papademos says he's determined to keep the country in the euro zone and you coalition government has to approve of

one hundred thirty billion euro bailout deal now despite those harsh austerity measures already in place in the country a business that isn't it paul takes a look at where it all and so wrongly for the really want a proud nation. it was supposed to bring peace and prosperity for all. but now the euro is costing people their jobs their pensions and even the democratic rights from the beginning the flaws were there for everyone to see the skeptics the economies of the likes of this the increase which is too different from germany and finland to regulate it by one system but optimism and idealism carry the new currency was poor it was strong and stable and was regulated in ways the german central bank might approve of there in the seeds of the problem greece italy portugal and spain had their hands on a strong currency and could borrow against it and for the interest rates they would have to pay would be much less so they could borrow much more which is what they

did italy currently has a debt to g.d.p. ratio around one hundred twenty percent greece is more than one hundred sixty percent that's a bit like somebody with an income of twenty thousand dollars a year i mean thirty two thousand on their credit card they will be bankrupt the banks were money a flat screen t.v. would be repossessed and would be a diet of cabbage and potatoes in. worst case to health. it's similar for a country but instead of public sector pay it's cars and thousands of people are forced out of jobs before the greece and italy always have the possibility of devaluing the currency when times will this have the effect of lowering total and of conferring a competitive advantage its products services came cheaper and this stimulated economic growth it also made people poorer but the money in their pockets was worth less but crucially it did not result in mass redundancies especially not imposed by a foreign power under

a hard currency like the euro this option is no longer available to the indebted nations so instead they must part because they remain uncompetitive they cannot grow the worst of both worlds i just had a radio station with something of an enigmatic message. ok made of the sound like much but that bizarre noise you hearing there spark more interest among radio enthusiasm around the world bit later in the program we investigate what it could mean where it might be coming from isn't just a few minutes time. moscow sacked former mayor yuri luzhkov has been interrogated by the russian interior ministry of the case of around half a billion dollars thoughts have been embezzled from the bank of moscow two years ago it has also involved risk of wife russia's richest woman who allegedly evaded the investigation and is currently abroad greaves has been following developments. they we have for mayor yuri luzhkov arriving in the building behind me upon the

for decades the hidden transmitter just broadcasts a series of strange beeps and buzzes stopping only to announce names in russian it leaves some people wondering what purpose it actually serves cannot. the sound has been gripping the imagination of radio spotters worldwide for over three decades. the u.v.b. seventy six also known as the was our. first aroused my interest because it is so strange personally i think it's a legacy device that's been left over from the late seventy's or eighty's for the military operations of the time its original has been forgotten. the sea is going going like this since the start whenever that was. sometimes there

was or stops in a meal robotically voice lists names and numbers in russian. leaders the silly unions and now russia's contact with spies or evil civilizations from other worlds. us law has been a real fan since his childhood he's also had his share of advisor but his explanation of his purpose is much more down to earth. and for this sort of connections to stream the reliable it will shut down in case of a large nuclear explosion could only for a few hours and it's not dependent on anything that's why it's still widely used today by the army the idea is pretty simple and used to be a radio station sends out the buzzer which is received by other army bases by stopping the gaza operator signals that a command called of the letters and numbers is about to be broadcast and when the transmission is complete the wiser turns on again just last said moscow's radios

bodying community nor were the signal used to come from a base outside of the capital but this is what we saw there and this man is the only living soul we could find. on the spot he used to work at the beast and still lives in a village nearby. a little bit of this used to be one of the best units in the country but two years ago we received an order to shut it we were told it consumed too much energy there is also another similar unit it still operates could it be that the legendary buzzer used to be out of this building and with is the signal coming from now i also agree won't be able to find any signs of. mysterious transamerica here because the equipment was literally ripped out of the walls and floors of the building when the base was shut there was some things are actually still here john or would be less dating back to me two thousand and

nine. but the sound is still. over it's coming from. causing through the radio ether as if it always has and always will a simple technology that's conquered the minds of thousands. of. moscow. what a mystery well some people are baffled by transmissions they're receiving seems others are more concerned about the signals they may be sending out because they don't know who is listening in as we report online it's all about big brother taxi that's about to make its debut in the british city of oxford their local council or does all license cabs to be equipped with those c.c.t.v. cameras recording video and all the kind of private conversation what you think about that is online tonight also by big hollywood superstar brad pitt reportedly

purchased era t. fifty four tank what's he going to do with it her nobody did fall in love with apparently while filming his latest movie i don't know to our top story the occupy movement going to r.t. dot com for more about the musician who performed it and he corporate protests for barack obama in the apec leaders during a stately. watching r t in just a few minutes the inside track for you and russia's current diplomatic mission in the middle east then we go sports as well in the next half hour nerve jittering in the football world is now a never in the euro twenty twelve qualifying of course you know it's got more on that next to me to see here with the business.

thank you coven top officials from the world's leading gas exporting countries have met in doha it's when them may hold more than two ferd's of the world's gas reserves and their summit is a that balancing the interests of both producers and consumers another discussion of similar topics took place in moscow at the annual gas of russia for business i think is moving of course it was only. some of the main issues so far have been pricing innovation and competition and it's no secret that many european countries are dissatisfied right now with russia's gas from because it limits its import rights to oil prices and many believe that given the current market conditions russia should rethink its pricing of formula at the same time today ministers meeting in doha are considering returning to apply swing to oil to save long term gas contracts and russia's energy minister who is a qatar right now outlined his main concerns for us one of the spoke with. firstly

it's the supremacy of a long term gas contracts with we've relied on this strategy and will stick to it in future secondly it's the principle of linking natural gas prices to oil prices we believe that natural gas should not cost less than crude just because natural gas meter high ecological requirements and this should be priced in by the market when it comes to the immediate future gas one has already forecast an increase in european cells next year over around eight per cent and of course will be more volumes now with a newly launched a north stream gas a pipeline so it's really essential for gas prawns to iron out its differences with its european counterparts to move to the markets now investors in the u.s. are getting their minds off europe's debt problems as mario monti when support for any government retail sales have come in better than expected for second month this is giving the dow therefore together with the story of boost of point three percent we look at europe of course

a close before news came in of getting support for his new government still a lot of worries on the minds of investors of their spanish and italian born you in the spotlight as they are relatively high for the day just a notch down the dax was the percent led by commerce bank and on the arms. russia where there was trading mostly. in the negative territory all day long and so they flat to positive on the my sex world's burbank was one of the biggest losers at one point it actually ended up point six percent after by one point three percent lower the company has boosted his net profit to russian accounting standards by more than five and a half full year a year in the first nine months not getting the support from that lukoil one of the biggest gainers one point three percent in the black on high it will cost. russian carmaker gas as reported a profit for the first half of twenty eleven that's following

a loss in the same period last year and that income reached almost fifty million dollars with the company benefiting from high demand will fifty million dollars might not see much for a car producer but we have to remember jazz was on the verge of bankruptcy in two thousand and nine so managed to restructure one billion dollars worth of debt and significantly cut its costs over the last two years the c.e.o. of the company spoke to business r.t. about his positive outlook for the. if you look at the first have we had twenty nine percent growth of revenue. we came in at nine point six percent. very strong performance very strong performance by all our dealers and our employees if i look at the second half will be even stronger. we will finish we are probably thirty two under forty billion rubles in revenue and with. a bit of. one of the headlines are coming up next on our team with kevin do stay with us.
