Occupy Wall Street: NYPD raid on camp in Zuccotti park
Police have begun clearing out 'Occupy' protester camps in New York. There are also claims that pepper spray is being used. The raid comes after activists vowed heightened action this coming Thursday, to mark two months since the movement began. RT's Marina Portnaya reports from New York.
Violent arrests at Occupy Wall Street

Pepe Escobar: Pentagon wants war forever
President Obama has been outspoken towards China. Washington has accused China of currency manipulation and wants China to even the playing field. During the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Honolulu, President Obama singled China out and stated that China needs to play by the rules. Pepe Escobar, correspondent for the Asia Times, helps us understand why China is continually being singled out by the US.
Word of the Day: Free Trade Area
President Obama pushes for an Asia-Pacific free trade agreement, which would be the biggest U.S. pact since the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement. This creates a free trade area. We break down what that means, and remember the old saying 'there's no such thing as a free lunch'? Well, that applies here. So we also break down the costs.

Cities cracking down on Occupy protests?
Over the weekend there was a wave of Occupy Movement crackdowns. From Oakland to St. Louis law enforcement evidicted many occupiers and destroyed tents once again. Protesters were arrested after being repeatedly warned to leave the property. Are these movements costing cities too much money? How much does police manpower cost? Lucy Kafanov, RT producer, helps us answer some of these questions.
Gerald Celente hammers MF Global's "MF'ers" on Capital Account (11/14/11)
Gerald Celente founder and director at Trends Research Institute and publisher of the Trends Journal tells us how he has become a casualty of MF Global's bankruptcy to the tune of six figures! And while MF Global went belly up due to bad bets on European sovereign debt, Celente says the eurozone is next to go. Celente responds to Nouriel Roubini's forecasts of an exit from the eurozone. This after technocrats are installed in Rome and Athens to calm markets. Yet we see Italian and Spanish bond yields on the rise. Meanwhile, Spanish, French and Belgian CDS hit new records.
APEC - US vs China?
Over the weekend more than 20,000 individuals gathered in Honolulu, Hawaii to attend the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit. China was a hot topic at the summit and protesters gathered outside to show their opposition for the country. Also President Obama said the US will continue cultivating a constructive relationship with
China, but will continue to be firm that they operate by the same rules. Here is RT's report.

OWS witness: Brutal lockdown in Zuccotti Park to fuel new protests
The birthplace of the anti-corporate 'Occupy' movement in New York has been raided and cleared out by police. Hundreds of protesters who've been camped out in Zuccotti Park for two months have been evicted, and banned from coming back to stay. Officers reportedly used force to kick out some of the activists, with witnesses suggesting pepper spray and tear gas were also used. Authorities removed all tents, citing health and safety concerns. But protesters say that's just an excuse to sabotage a massive demonstration planned for Thursday. An 'Occupy' activist Alexa O'Brien who was in New York at the time of the police raid, says that the authorities' heavy-handed response has been an infringement on civil liberties.
Contract Killing: 'UK bombs its way to Libyan oil'
Libya's got big plans for its post-war future - with hopes of being reborn as the next Dubai. On paper, it's got the qualifications - sun, beaches and rich oil reserves.

Debt Diets & Riots: Euro Lose/Lose?
New technocrat-led governments in Greece and Italy, are getting down to business to tackle their massive debts. Italy's Prime Minister-designate says it's too early to determine how his country will cope with more anti-crisis measures, but is warning people of sacrifices ahead. Mario Monti is trying to rally parties for support. Some want him to go once reforms are pushed through, although the former EU commissioner plans to stay until the 2013 election. But the clock's ticking for Greece - with the new Prime Minister heading up a 15-week coalition. Lucas Papademos faces a confidence vote on Wednesday, and says securing the next bailout is the priority, and that his country must stick with the Euro. Our business editor Nick Pool explores how the single currency's flaws have led some countries to ruins, rather than riches.

'West lost Iraq, wants Syria - Arab League plays dirty role'
The U.S. and its allies are more interested in regime change in Syria than a peaceful solution to the unrest - that's according to the Kremlin. Russia's Foreign Minister says Western countries are trying to stir-up Syria's opposition to topple President Bashar al-Assad. Beirut-based political analyst Kamel Wazne says Western countries have lost Iraq and now they want Syria.

Occupy Oakland aerial video: Cop crackdown on protester tent camp
Police in Oakland, California have cleared out a weeks-old encampment after issuing several warnings to Occupy demonstrators. Oakland police and officers from several other San Francisco Bay area cities encircled the downtown encampment before dawn and moved in at about 6 a.m. Officers were seen escorting handcuffed protesters away from the camp soon afterward. The action comes a day after police drove hundreds of anti-Wall Street demonstrators from encampments in Portland, Oregon, arresting more than 50 people. Oakland officials insisted on an end to their city's encampment after a man was shot and killed Thursday near the camp.
Syrian Suspense: 'Military intervention definitely on the table'
The U.S. and its allies are more interested in regime change in Syria than a peaceful solution to the unrest - that's according to the Kremlin. Russia's Foreign Minister says Western countries are trying to stir-up Syria's opposition to topple President Bashar al-Assad. Independent web journalist James Corbett thinks the Arab League suspension of Syria means the West is now much closer to achieving its goal of regime change in Damascus.
US vs China: Who rules the roost?
As the gathering of the Pacific Rim's political and economic heavyweights winds down in Hawaii, it's the latest rift between the globe's two centres of financial influence which is dominating. The U.S. has been criticising China for its trade and currency practices. This year the U.S. and China continued to outline competing economic programs. Hu Jintao insisted on more influence for Beijing as a growing power, while Obama zeroed in on China's trading decisions. RT's Oksana Boyko explains the differences that have piled up between the two.

Rattansi: Foreign-fuelled revolt & media games spill Syria blood
Syria has called an emergency meeting of the Arab League, in an attempt to reverse the decision which saw it suspended from the organisation. The freeze on the country's membership and accompanying sanctions received wide support from the EU and the U.S. An overwhelming majority of member states voted for the measure to urge president Bashar al-Assad to stop 8-months of violence. But it also triggered new protests and attacks on the Turkish, French and Saudi Arabian embassies in Damascus. Dozens more people were reportedly killed across the country on Sunday in the latest wave of crackdowns on anti-government protests. Author and journalist Afshin Rattansi thinks the conflict in Syria's being fueled from abroad, and could drag on for some time.
Happy Hour: Cain Knows Nothing about Libya
RT's Jenny Churchill and Tanya Somanader from ThinkProgress.org join happy hour tonight to discuss everything from Chelsea Clinton's new gig at NBC News to President Obama ditching the Hawaiian t-shirts for the APEC world leader's photo.
Tool Time: $1 Trillion War 'Savings', Budgeting Lie
In just about a week and a half, the Super Committee must announce their plan to cut $1.2 trillion from the deficit. It appears they're far from an agreement. And if no deal is reached automatic triggers will kick in. Some lawmakers on Capitol Hill are now suggesting the issue can be resolved by using a budget gimmick. Democrats think the Super Committee should count the money the US will not be spending on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan as savings. Take a look at what South Carolina Congressman James Clyburn said.
FCC's Indecency Rules: Outdated?
The Cato Institute, the Center for Democracy and Technology, Public Knowledge, TechFreedom and the Electronic Frontier Foundation, have filed an amicus brief asking the Supreme Court to declare the FCC's Indecency regulations as unconstitutional. Cato's Julian Sanchez discusses.

Occupy Oakland Evicted
Police have cleared out the Occupiers from Frank Ogawa Plaza in Oakland, in what comparatively, could be seen as a peaceful event, unlike the original raid weeks ago, or the ending of the General Strike that shut down the port of Oakland. But tonight, protesters at Occupy Oakland are promising to gather at the downtown Oakland library, to figure out their next steps. RT's Lucy Kafanov has the details.
Mass Occupy Evictions Across Country
In Chapel Hill North Carolina, about 50 protesters took over an abandoned the Chrysler building on Saturday night, marking their new territory with signs and banners. However this group, an offshoot of Occupy Chapel Hill, was faced with police using what they say was unnecessary force to get those protesters to leave the empty building and at least 8 people were arrested. In Salt Lake City demonstrators were ordered to leave their camp site in Pioneer Park and about 19 people were arrested. And in Portland Oregon those who have camped out in Lownsdale and Chapman Squares faced eviction from their local police.
GOP Candidates Scary on Foreign Policy
We'll take a look at the GOP Debate from the weekend that focused on Foreign Policy. In certain cases it was obvious the candidates knew very little about what they were asked and in other cases the pro-torture, pro-assassination, pro-war arguments made it seem like those who want to be commander in chief care nothing for the pursuit of peace, or the rule of law. Lawrence Korb, Senior Fellow at CAP discusses.
MSM: GOP Candidates Endorse Torture
This weekend CBS and the National Journal hosted yet another GOP debate and when it comes to foreign policy, which this debate focused on, we can see exactly how clueless, inconsistent, and outright crazy some of the candidates really are. With the exception of Ron Paul and Jon Hunstman, the other candidates all seemed to support waterboarding, which is a form of torture, as an acceptable technique. By today the President had fired back, defending his position. But the mainstream media, that's supposed to be the government watchdog, once again, just starts reporting on these stories as if it's just any old conversation.
The Alyona Show - 11/11/11
We'll take a look at figures that show us that the US is spending more on our nuclear arsenal today, than at the height of the Cold War! And we'll also look at new arms sales in the works, as part of the heated up effort to surround Iran. Then, yesterday there were two deaths at different Occupy camps, which had nothing to do with the Occupiers. But police in Oakland are already using the tragedy to signal that they'll be kicking the protesters out. Also, a federal judge ruled yesterday that Twitter will have to hand over personal account information on three people associated with Wikileaks. We'll talk about what it means for Wikileaks, but even more importantly, for everyone's privacy on the web. And then don't miss our Friday Happy Hour.

Hartmann: How a City Thrives or Dies
Why the answer to saving our economy may just be found on your local street corner.
If you want to revitalize cities, end urban sprawl, empty buildings and bring land and housing prices down you need to tax land and other forms of economic rent. Taxes on economic rent (land, monopoly, resources) do not add to price, they are paid out of rents.
See: Hudson, Michael - Simon Patten on Public Infrastructure and Economic Rent Capture (2011)

Erikka Knuti, Democratic Strategist & Derek Hunter, Townhall & David Martosko, Daily Caller all join Thom Hartmann. A new report by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities - or CBPP - shows there could be twice as many people in poverty...if Republicans get their way. Around the world - more than 4,000 patriots have been arrested in the OWS movement. How many banksters in the US have been arrested for their crimes on Wall Street though? Gitmo is officially the world's most expensive prison - So if Republicans really care about wasteful spending - why are they obstructing closing down Gitmo? So which one of these 3 things can Rick Perry do to make sure he doesn't repeat this same mistake at the next debate?

EE. UU. y Europa planean debilitar el régimen de Siria, según el analista Nagham Salman
Los países de Occidente incitan a la oposición siria a derrocar al régimen del presidente Bashar al Assad, señaló el ministro de Asuntos Exteriores de Rusia, Serguéi Lavrov, en una entrevista.
El ministro lamentó que su homologo francés, Alain Juppe, hubiera ´enterrado´ el plan de solución de la crisis siria propuesto por la Liga Árabe, tan solo una semana después de haber sido aprobado. Asimismo se mostró preocupado por el llamado de Washington a la oposición siria a no aceptar la propuesta de al Assad de deponer las armas y optar por la amnistía.
"Se trata de instigar a los opositores radicales a derrocar al régimen negándose a cualquier diálogo", sostuvo Lavrov.
Asimismo, el titular de Exteriores afirmó que los extremistas radicales sirios reciben armas de contrabando que vienen de Turquía e Irak, entre otros países. Lavrov señaló que extremistas armados se infiltran en las filas de los manifestantes pacíficos para "provocar la violencia por parte de las autoridades".

Fuego en el agua: Un barco-hotel arde en un puerto de Moscú
Un incendio se ha declarado esta noche en el barco de tres cubiertas 'Serguéi Abramov', que hacía las veces de hotel, y se encontraba amarrado a orillas del río Moskova. El incidente dejó a 4 personas heridas.
En el momento de declararse el incendio, a bordo de la nave se encontraban unas 31 personas, todas las cuales fueron evacuadas, según fuentes del Ministerio de Emergencias citando al capitán del barco.
En el lugar de los hechos trabajan unos 20 equipos de bomberos, cuyas labores se han visto complicadas por la leve inclinación del barco, que además deprende una fuerte humareda a pesar de que las llamas abiertas fueron apagadas. Para que el barco se mantenga al flote se efectúa bombeo de agua.

Una foca albina encuentra casa (con piscina) en el Mar Negro
La famosa foquita albina Nafania, rechazada por sus congéneres por no tener el pelaje negro y por sus aletas rosadas y ojos azules, se encuentra sana y salva en su nuevo 'apartamento' con piscina en la ciudad rusa de Sochi.
El cachorro fue abandonado de pequeño por su familia y buscó refugio en isla de Tyuleniy (Lejano Oriente ruso), donde fue creciendo sin cariño hasta que los vecinos locales le salvaron de una muerte inminente.
Un día el animalito, único en su especie según los científicos, fue encontrado por el fotógrafo Anatoly Strákhov. Las fotos dieron la vuelta el mundo y centenas de miles de personas en la red se dispusieron a salvar a la foca albina de su oscuro destino.
Primero le dieron asilo en la región rusa de Primorie (Lejano Oriente ruso) y después se organizó un concurso que ganó el delfinario de Sochi, sede de Olimpiadas 2014 en el sur de Rusia, que preparó pará al pequeño huérfano una casa nueva.
Allí, en las costas del Mar Negro, Nafania dispone de dos apartamentos con una piscina individual y zona de descanso. Los médicos velan por su salud día y noche, ya que, según dicen, los albinos nacen muy débiles y a veces ciegos, algo que aún está por comprobar en el caso de este cachorro.

Ataques a misiones diplomáticas en Siria por la decisión de la Liga Árabe
Decenas de miles de manifestantes salieron a las calles de la capital siria, Damasco, para apoyar al régimen del presidente Bashar al-Assad y rechazar la resolución de la Liga Árabe de suspender la participación del país en este organismo.
Los desórdenes públicos se extendieron por toda la capital. La multitudinaria manifestación obligó a cortar el tráfico y a cerrar varias tiendas en el centro de la capital. Los participantes asaltaron la embajada saudí y la de Qatar, mientras que los consulados turco y francés también fueron atacados por los manifestantes en Latakia, a 330 kilómetros al norte de Damasco.
Hombres -entre ellos algunos con uniforme militar-, mujeres y estudiantes se manifestaron para denunciar lo que consideran una resolución "ilegal" de la Liga Árabe y una "conspiración" contra Siria. Los participantes en la protesta portaban fotografías de Al-Assad y banderas sirias, mientras cantaban lemas en apoyo al mandatario.

Pacificación de una de las favelas más emblemáticas de Brasil
Centenares de policías apoyados por blindados de la Infantería de Marina tomaron este domingo, sin encontrar resistencia, la favela de la Rocinha, la más emblemática de Río de Janeiro, para expulsar a los narcotraficantes que desde hace décadas dominan esta zona.
En la llamada 'Operación Choque de Paz', encabezada por más de 300 hombres del Batallón de Operaciones Especiales, cuerpo de élite de la Policía Militarizada de Río de Janeiro, participaron en total más de 1.500 personas. Además, contó con el apoyo de 18 blindados y siete helicópteros.
El ingreso de los policías fue precedido por helicópteros sobrevolando la zona mientras los blindados abrían camino por dos puntos de la favela, sin que se escuchara ni un solo disparo.
Dado el rápido avance de la operación, dos horas después de su inicio la Policía informó de que las favelas ya habían sido completamente tomadas por las fuerzas del orden. Tras apoderarse de sus principales puntos, los agentes se dedicaron a buscar armas y drogas, así como a los sospechosos de formar parte de las bandas de narcotraficantes.

Primera mirada a Fukushima tras el incidente nuclear
La planta atómica japonesa de Fukushima-1 abre sus puertas por primera vez tras el incidente nuclear del pasado 11 de marzo. Un reducido grupo de periodistas han recorrido las instalaciones de la central nuclear de Fukushima que, según el Gobierno de Japón, ya están estabilizadas. Hasta ahora, la operadora de la planta, Tokyo Electric Power (Tepco), no había permitido la entrada a los medios de comunicación al considerar que los niveles de radiación eran demasiado altos.
Equipados con trajes de protección, los periodistas y funcionarios inspeccionaron el complejo de la central de Fukushima durante unas tres horas de visita guiada y organizada por el Gobierno japonés, y fueron acompañados por el ministro nipón encargado de la crisis nuclear, Goshi Hosono.
Mientras tanto, en un bosque cerca de la central nuclear los periodistas han registrado el máximo nivel de radiación, 300 microsieverts (µSv) por hora, cifra que supera la norma en 850 veces.

Michael Pento, Eurozone Crisis, US Housing Bailouts? - Capital Account (11/11/11)
Another day, another eurozone headlines...amidst good signs and bad signs, the headlines may change but the economic picture remains the same. And what becomes of Europe's closest economic partner, the US, with financial problems of its own? President Obama is making deals with Asian countries at a summit in Hawaii. Does that say it all? Meanwhile the US continues to be dragged down by the housing market. The government has poured billions of dollars into mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac since taking them over in 2008. Now another federal agency involved in backing mortgages is in trouble and could need a bailout. And when it comes to taking on Wall Street, one matador is taking the bull by the horns.

Michael Pento: Demolition the answer to the US housing crisis? (Part 2)
The US housing market still appears in tatters , which is showing up on the books of more federal agencies that have stepped in to back it and may end up needing bailouts. The US has already poured billions of dollars into Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac since taking them over in 2008, and the US Treasury has promised them unlimited aid until the end of 2012. Now a new study shows the Federal Housing Authority which backs one-third of all new mortgages is facing losses of $50 billion in the coming years and could end up needing a bailout. They guarantee $1 trillion dollars in loans. Meanwhile the US job market gains are looking, quite literally, temporary. We talk to Michael Pento, President of Pento Portfolio Strategies, about solutions.

Afghan war vet left on the streets
Most veterans who come back home from war usually have a tough time readjusting to civilian life. Veterans returning home usually find themselves in a hard situation with an unemployment rate of about 30 percent. This leads to many living on the streets. Matt Farwell, an Afghanistan war veteran, was one of those soldiers and he tells us how life on the streets was for him.

Only hours later the headline changes to: "Markets Rally as Eurozone Debt Fears Ease." We put the schizophrenia aside and the obsession with every move of investors and traders, and figure out what's really going on here with an analyst whose forecasts on the eurozone have played out.

They and their owners are the ones who sold us out for China's success. You can't buy anything that isn't made in China anymore!

Ancient spirit and might preserved by indigenous people of Altay
The Altay is one of Russia's highest-lying regions and a place where many cultures mix.
The Telengits are one of the most ancient peoples inhabiting the Mountains of Altay.
They came to the Altay region more than 5,000 years ago but settled down only 200 years ago.
For centuries these nomadic people were valued as excellent warriors -- and until the modern day their traditions and customs are carefully preserved amid the divine natural beauty of Siberia.

That number is about 2.4 million, exactly 1% of the 240 million Americans over the age of 18. Don't let this 1% be separate from the other 99% of us.
Twitter to hand over Wikileaks Associate Info

So what does this ruling mean for online privacy? EFF's Trevor Timm discusses.

Hartmann: There are no Free Market Fairies...
We might be on the verge of an unprecedented global economic meltdown. But if you watched the Republican debate and are really, really gullible - you might think there's an easy fix to all our troubles. From the European debt crisis - to the jobs crisis here at home - to the health crisis - to the looming energy crisis - to the housing crisis - to the student loan debt crisis - you name the crisis - there's a one-size-fits-all solution to it - and all the Republicans on stage last night didn't shy away from talking about it. That solution - let the so-called "free market" work.
53 million people uninsured? The free market will fix that!
Greece and Italy are about to drag the entire global banking system into a depression? The free market will fix that too!
Student loan debt topped a trillion bucks for the first time? Leave it up to the free market to fix it.
Republicans have one talking point - just one solution to all our problems - and that's by hyping up the power of the so-called free market - or in Herman Cain's case - hyping up the power of his 9-9-9 plan AND the free market. But let's think about that for a moment - what exactly does it mean? What does "let the free market work" really mean? Does it mean to remove government - and deregulate everything? So when the Republicans talk about letting the free market work - they might as well be saying let the free market fairies wave their magic wand and everything will be just fine.

A new video of police brutality at another 99 percent protest in California has surfaced. And we'll be joined by a patriot who was caught in the middle of it all. More video surfaced today of police brutality against peaceful patriots. Those were young women in the crowd who were having nights stick violently shoved into their stomachs. Meanwhile in Oakland - where police brutality was taken to another level two weeks ago when two-time Iraq War veteran Scott Olsen was critically injured and sustained brain damage after police fired a tear gas canister into his head - there are fears that another violent police crackdown could be looming. Yesterday - members of the city council - joined by the local chamber of commerce - held a press briefing - bashing the Occupy Oakland movement - and calling for it to be broken up immediately. With all the violent police action against American patriots who are exercising their first amendment rights around the nation - sadly - Thomas Jefferson is rolling in his grave.

Thom Hartmann Breaks Down Joe Walsh's Big Fat Lie
Joe Walsh was telling - screaming - the same old lie that the banksters, their bought-off Republican Members of Congress, and pundits on GOP TV - a.k.a Fox so-called News - have been telling for years now. And that is that Wall Street wasn't responsible for the economic crash - that the government - and too much regulation - was responsible - and that poor little Wall Street is just a victim of misguided government policy. It wasn't regulation that caused this mess - that's a lie!

La policía dispara balas de goma a manifestantes de Ocupa Oakland
El vídeo de un activista herido por una bala de goma es la prueba de las represiones policiales más agresivas desde el principio de las manifestaciones en Oakland.
Un videasta grababa la huelga general y al pasar frente a los policías les preguntó "¿todo está bien?" cuando recibió por respuesta un disparo disuasivo.
El oficial aún no ha sido identificado.
En la ciudad de Oakland una huelga general pacífica se convirtió en un evento violento en el que se repiten los incidentes de la última semana de octubre. La marcha con más de 4.500 manifestantes se transformó en un hecho cruel y sin compasiones. Las fuerzas de seguridad, que están usando gases lacrimógenos y pistolas con balas de goma contra los activistas, han detenido ya a centenares de participantes de la protesta, mientras que los testigos aseguran de que se puede hablar de decenas de heridos. Varias personas fueron atropelladas por coches de la policía.

Un robot inteligente capaz de ayudar en una crisis nuclear
Honda presentó la versión más nueva de un robot humanoide Asimo que incluso puede ayudar en caso de una crisis nuclear. Asimo, uno de los robots humanoides tecnológicamente más avanzados del mundo, es capaz de andar, correr, subir y bajar escaleras, girarse suavemente e imitar muchos otros movimientos humanos. La nueva versión del robot Asimo ahora es capaz de moverse sin ser controlado todo el tiempo por una persona. Las capacidades intelectuales y físicas le permiten adaptarse rápidamente a todas las situaciones. Según los diseñadores, estos robots pueden convertirse en unos ayudantes muy efectivos de los humanos y alcanzar lugares donde una persona no puede entrar, por ejemplo, una planta nuclear como la que sufrió el reciente accidente nuclear en Japón.
