protesters are deeply committed to nonviolence which is extremely important and i think the police sometimes fail to recognize that when they attack nonviolent protesters it really exposes the corruption of the system and the fact that the police are fielded to protect the one percent and not to protect the free speech rights of the rest of us that actually draws more support for the protest they are finally drawing attention to the fact that we have an economy actually it not only in the united states but in the world that is predominantly working for the for the one percent of people who control the financial system it is not working for the ninety nine percent we've had so much conversation in the united states fueled by corporate media focusing attention on the problem of the problem of the government skipping over the fact that wall street has created an economy that is devoted primarily to making money for rich people through trying financial dame's we have

to address that issue you know people are complaining that the occupy wall street people don't have clear demands it's actually quite clear what they want they want their economy back they want their government back they want their future back and they actually want a country that operates by principles of true democracy and real markets which which work for everyone. cover a bit later in the program tonight we give the demonstrators new york chance to get their voices heard to. these people are so greedy and so. money and wealth and materialism and consumerism hafen it's heads down to occupied zuccotti park in the big apple for us to ask protesters from their messages to wall street. and germany's multicultural melting pot boils over as immigration anger drives a deepening divide through communities good report from berlin as well. next though

an attack by army desert is in syria's reportedly left seventeen soldiers dead according to human rights groups it comes after the arab league condemned the continuing killings of civilians in the country and the regime protests the arab ministerial committee is due to hold another round of talks with syrian officials over the weekend to help end the crisis the u.n. estimates more than three thousand people have been killed since march when the uprising against president bashar assad began some of the protesters have also been calling for a no fly zone over the country and aerial support from nato warplanes but dissident syrian writer and democracy campaigner michel kilo told me that most of the population doesn't support foreign intervention. we are against military intervention whether it's a day tomorrow or in ten years time even if the regime is to ny late everyone of us would still be against military intervention we fight for freedom and we don't want to add external slavery to our domestic law we don't want it to become

a part of the struggle between the international and internal forces syrians are peaceful they want to progress under conditions of freedom and development and they don't want to turn into a concentration camp a poly go on philology countries. brought back of the us based antiwar coalition believes that unlike libya syria is too strong for the alliance to intervene that's why the west wants to spark a civil war to bring regime change. we're using the same lingo the same scenario the syrian opposition is borrowing a page from the playbook for libya they know that they can come to power only with the advance with the support with the intervention through multiple means of the nato powers of the western powers and i think what we can tell the syrian people is look at what happened in libya the issue of a no fly zone sounds like go a way to defend civilians it's really a way to begin the war to begin military operations against the syrian air force or

air defenses i think the first and this is the plan of the obama administration is not direct military intervention but to promote a civil war inside of syria i think they realize that the syrian government is substantially stronger militarily and within the arab world as compared to khadafi but they can use the human beings who have grievances valid or not to be the human material for a civil war and i think the u.s. government officials signaling the syrian opposition and the syrian president that they should learn the lesson of libya is a clear message begin the civil war they want to weaken syria first as a as a prelude to a more direct intervention for regime change thousands of demonstrators for economic justice filling the streets of the israeli capital once again after nearly a two month break their own happy with the government spending policies they want parliament to send next year's budget plan back to the drawing board let's get the

latest multis poorness lee and she's in tel aviv where the full a good evening good to see tonight now we sold nearly half a million protesters across the country back in september didn't we but they've since bad to get by other means so why they're back on the streets again tonight it begs the question. well as you say this is the first time in nearly two months that social protest as of taking to the streets as you can see behind me there are tens of thousands of people here in television as well as in cities across the country now the last demonstration back in september in early september so a million people come to the streets in the country logan i was satisfied with that turnout and after that a lot of the protesters many of them are university students return to process and things had to take a little bit of it all but certainly now what we have seen in the last few hours is not only attention on what is happening internally here the israeli air force has also launched strikes on southern gaza eleven people have been killed five of them

are members of the islamic jihad organization that is well holds a sponsible for a grad missile that was fired into israel earlier in the week the concern here though talking to people is that this story of social demonstrations will not be missed by many in the international community as it focuses on what is happening externally and certainly the mainstream international media is making a lot of what is going on gaza to the detriment of what is happening here in the last few hours they has been a volley of rockets fired from gaza into southern israel several people have been injured dozens of people are being treated and with me to talk about this is nicholas simmons who is one of the social protesters nicolette why are you back on the streets after a two month lull. the knesset the parliament is returning from its recess tomorrow that the day after i mean. we just hope that they'll reconsider their budgetary considerations and the problem has been that the budgetary considerations have been

about parties and politics they've been about leading the tycoons who seem to control everything we want the budgetary considerations to consider just the general good of the country is this an admission that the demonstrations until now have not really achieved that much the demonstrations have. caused a huge amount of social awareness that was attacked in that report which made some very very nice concessions but it just didn't go far enough what about the protests happening in new york are you inspired by occupy wall street well it makes us happy that people are getting out on the streets to campaign for their own rights for the governments to think about them rather than about themselves here in israel it's very very important to realize we are not in economic recession our problem isn't that we don't have enough money problem is that it's being mismanaged the government decisions about what to do with the money is bad this does differ from what's happening in europe in america where they just run out of money what about these airstrikes in gaza have been talking to people here and they say it's just

convenient the timing that now when people are taking back to the streets the israeli army launches a strikes on gaza for years israeli internal issues have been neglected because there's always been a defense story that always will be a defense story it's not going to go away by a more praising within the protests i can tell you internally the protest movement is aligned to the defense story they just care about what's happening inside the country the fed story is not going to go away we're going to carry on whatever happens at externally but i want to just remind you that back on august the sixteenth when the social demonstrations where at the height is well known and a strike on gaza as well now we have been hearing that the demonstration that was planned tonight in beer sheva which is a town not far from the dock support it has been canceled and there was concern here earlier in tel aviv that this demonstration too would be canceled but certainly when you hear the cries of people here and really they slogan is the people demand social justice people here saying that the government can do what it

wants to attract attention but they certainly will not give up on what they say are very legitimate demands. from the scene of a fresh social protest sit israel talking to social activists nicholas simmons one of the organizers of the rally thank you both. a massive financial pyramid scheme which wiped out millions of people's life savings here in russia in the one nine hundred ninety s. is back mit's eccentric founders time for his dodgy accounting but savers in ukraine now are queuing up to hand over their hard earned dollars. explains why. the twenty eleven russian hit movie the pyramid depicts a robin hood of the nine hundred ninety s. a businessman who promises well for ordinary people and confronts the oligarchs. the real story behind the split was a sad episode in russia supposed soviet history the financial pyramid called

attracted millions vowing to multiply their investment many times in the end it went bust up to fifteen million people lost their life savings to get home i don't feel like i'm a sinner what about m.m.m. ninety four it was undermined by the government so i knew m.m.m. emerged with virtually unlimited resources absolutely i'm controlled so the situation was not acceptable and everything was done to eliminate it sort of game over already the driving force behind the m.m. movement spent five years in prison for fraud but now the man often called the russian bernie madoff is back seventeen years since his financial pyramid had walked the post soviet space. back with another financial scheme and while you could hardly find any commercial enterprise the streets of ukraine cities have been literally flooded with calls to join in with twenty eleven. we can do more is the slogan of the new complain at mit's it is another pyramid and is

a risky venture but still promises people that they will make money this. is a virtual currency called dollars which constantly goes up in price from twenty to sixty percent a month this price only i can see it some individuals exchange money between themselves without any obligations got into some conditions it is a fundamental point when there is no legal entity new joint account new office in other words everything is shared between millions of private accounts it means no one can put an end to it. financial experts in ukraine see little surprise in my latest scheme given the rough patch the country is going through the national bank is like in order to not allow the depreciation of national currency is like introducing in your restrictions and a lot of people on. the government machine the bureaucracy is against something like administer to the press in the financial markets and people are looking for an

try to recover from this year's earthquake and tsunami disaster she looks at how japan's dire circumstances are leaving it trapped and teetering on the edge right now. in many ways the japanese economy is like this fish. caught dried out frozen and now having great chunks of value sliced clean. take the industry itself japanese sushi shops raking in about seventeen billion dollars annually with hungry customers consuming nine million tonnes of sisterhood along the way. it's an addiction repeated all around the world but it's not helping the main exporters which has been left floundering. japanese food is the most popular food in the world and definitely i think there are many other companies like ours doing the same business and everywhere else in these companies are suffering major

consequences from a strong. when the national currency is up it pushes exports down japanese goods just too expensive to compete on the wild stage and its profits disappear so do people's livelihoods stagnant growth the strong man and the massive national debt some economists fear the japan may be all a few years away from its own major economic crisis and since this east asian nation remains the world's number three economy the consequences of bad big global this is something japan's political leaders are determined to avoid and many are calling for urgent action. jump anees industry can probably enjoy the current seventy five year into the dollar level for a little while but if this situation doesn't change over a longer period i think we're going to see japanese factories and large companies move their operations overseas places like vietnam thailand or china this would

lead to a hollowing out of japanese domestic industry and create unemployment so that japan is facing an extraordinary. crisis. despite the worries of the ruling party lawmakers it is not clear there is anything the japanese government can really do to prevent the soaring from leaving japanese businessman stock money. home there in japan when supply industry is gradually losing its ability to sell their products and machines to just aren't selling since the world faces these conditionals japanese companies have to look for whatever opportunities they can discover but that's not going to be easy in a country where the government itself the plea in the red japan has the highest national debt among major economies owing almost twice as much as the economy makes in an entire year couple that with the funds needed to rebuild after the

devastation only by the earthquake and tsunami earlier this year and it seems japan is fighting a battle it may not be able to win she horak matthew r.t. tokyo. worrying times in japan as thousands continue to protest across america is part of the anti corporate occupy movement the mainstream media is at pains to point out there's a lack of a unified agenda laurie oftenest return to work all started in new york to discover that every demonstrator has a special something to say to wall street. the protesters of occupy wall street are clearly fed up with wall street and with washington so what do you think they would have to say to their would be oppressors this week let's talk about that i would like to say you're human beings also do you

see the suffering that people are going through you know what it's like we want the health insurance that you have everybody should have that health insurance we should have the basic rights in the basic care care of we the people more than your bank account we need you to join us because they're just people too it shouldn't be an us versus them we need your help for personhood what is that and corporations that are have felt as though it's ok to exploit people and exploit the planet for profit and profit alone so what do you have to say to those corporations well i don't have to say anything other than i don't support them how do you say be fair and share to someone or something that does not know what what kind of concept this is and to qadi we practice we're a community where we share our resources these people are are so greedy and so fair to buy money and wealth and materialism and consumerism do you still have

a message for all these corporate bigwigs who are taking millions and not supporting their people my message isn't for them my message is to make sure that these soldiers that are here that they continue to believe that this conversation is important and that these people are involved in a process to constructing a road where dreams are possible right now dreams are impossible in america for a lot of people these people need to believe that dreams must continue that's why we're here so it seems like the bottom line is the protesters are less interested in talking to wall streeters and washington themselves and more interested in keeping the conversation and the power among the people themselves. surely tonight we ask what we all going to do when the oil runs out which could be soon of the may think spotlight is on next program in a few minutes tonight here on our team oscar.
