tell am in the russian capital you're watching r.t.i. marina joshua welcome to the program a wave of public discontent in the u.s. shows no sign of abating following saturday's protests were hundreds of peaceful demonstrators were arrested sparking accusations of having had a policing the finance high wall street activist refused to back down saying more marches against corporate greed and social inequality are in the pipeline are caught up with some of those involved. but. the new season in a different nation the arab spring has become america's autumn and on saturday new york's parklane bridge reminded many a scene from egypt to here square. nearly
2:02 am
eight hundred protesters were trapped cuffed arrested and jailed as thousands of activists continued their second week of occupy wall street demonstrations the grassroots movement is campaigning against social inequality and corporate influence over u.s. politics in the interim police conduct against peaceful protesters has come into question. just last week a new york city police officer attacked occupy wall street protesters with pepper spray prompting public outreach and an internal affairs investigation many couldn't believe that there would be another dramatic congregation this weekend after what happened last weekend after four women were pepper spray while they were corralled by the police after the n.y.p.d. used heavy handed tactics punching some protesters i think many people didn't expect that there would be something like that again this weekend though i have heard no reports of pepper spray being used there were there were aggressive
2:03 am
arrests and there were thousands of people stopped and hundreds arrested arrested activists were charged with disorderly conduct and summons to appear in criminal court. by sunday hundreds appeared back on wall street determined to continue their fight against corporate domination once you are you not afraid to be arrested anymore the whole entire control of the police. disappears when that happens there are credible possibilities that are open to us and suddenly you can imagine a different world you believe you can be an agent of change the group says it means . bree's national awareness and change america's economic disparity occupy wall street describes itself as a resistance movement inspired in part by counter we can follow. the leader of our brothers and sisters all over the world we care of spring in greece and spain
2:04 am
where we can see that it did send a powerful message ordinary people are not going to stand for corporate greed anymore and now we're getting up and we're doing something about it. and the reason these activists are doing something on wall street rather than washington is because they say you have to follow the money begin where the largest campaign contributions donations and lobby groups come from its corporate presidency we were told it was for cheney for you know maybe four years old boy. bush. before that his father the bush dynasty i mean corporate greed goes all the way if the president i think there's more that they are doing to defame paul supercharge. it is true that these demonstrators come here with a variety of different messages but what is uniting what unifies them is a growing frustration over the u.s. economy social inequality and corporate influence on u.s. politics these protesters say if american leaders can't act it will be the american
2:05 am
citizens that stand up for their rights reporting from wall street more important party. but also crack down on wall street and the way just in financial institutions are ran show that us democracy is just an empty phrase that's according to you kate based investigative journalist tony awsome. i think we're dealing with people who are absolutely in denial they're not interested in what the ordinary people want and i think this tells us the scales are falling from our eyes this shows us that america is not a democracy they're not listening to what the people have got to say and these are ordinary people coming up with their solutions because those people charged with running our financial system have not just made a mess of things they have actually orchestrated that system in their own interest it's absolutely inexcusable for the police to be wading in in a democracy note in a democracy the police do not white into peaceful demonstrators as they have been in new york so i think this is another indication that america's democracy is
2:06 am
actually failing us at the moment it's failing the world and it's absolutely not on for them to be going around the world so-called spreading democracy when they haven't even got democracy in their own country you know in their own government institutions they need to be listening to what these people have got to say and of course they're not listening james corbat editor of independent news websites as the main question now is whether the largely supported wall street movement is likely to turn into a strong political force. as we see now of course these protests are not just taking place on wall street but are now starting to spread across the country which is a sign that there really is something going on here that will start to spread even further and and that's the type of situation that could lead to an american spring as it's been dubbed now i see that there is there could be that possibility of escalation at this and all meant i would say that the momentum and probably the p.r. which is on the protester side because no one likes to see who put police going in
2:07 am
and breaking up a peaceful protest movements like that and especially now that we're getting reports that the protesters were actually lured onto the bridge and then trapped so so it's very interesting to watch how this will play out and i think at this point as i say the protesters are probably winning in a p.r. game but but again i think there's a there's a much larger political movement at stake here and it really does remain to be seen whether there can be some sort of coordinated action on when the only from the federal reserve and the privately owned banks that central banking system of the united states. and another showcase of public anger is boiling in the u.k. . security people post what you post the really cool shit taking. tens of thousands of people descended on manchester to take are they marched against government cuts and also a little later in the program. identity crisis parents and teachers across france are enraged by the new school boards to revise the scoring or counselor beam of political correctness. agreed dad crisis has taken
2:08 am
a sharp turn for the worse as its government declares it won't be able to meet key mandated deficit deadlines for this and next year the revelation signals that the shocking degree of scaring imposed by athens on its people has failed while sending the economy in turn a manageable contraction is especially worrying given that a u. debt inspectors and reason are currently deciding whether to release war bailout funds for the country the country's government is served that unless it gets that money it won't be able to pay its bills for this month are the sarah first looks are just worthless now in fact a country. to greece now to fold that's the million dollar question or to be more exact the four hundred fifty billion a year in question that's the total that greece now. about.
2:09 am
you think greece over for granted. over government did. you do it or or i don't know what you believe from. the greek government is running out to vote and they can keep trying to impose these very few measures that would likely lead to more of a violent clash with anything between riot police and protesters in the last week the month all they can instead choose to default that you're using leaders have insisted that the for. is not an option there concern that we're pleased to do you say it could spark a financial meltdown in the usa but there's now a growing recognition that behind closed doors other options are being considered a group called differently on the cards has been on the cards after a year and a half or two remember cards because when you have a dead overhang over exorbitant science but we have here in greece it is impossible to imagine the steering being
2:10 am
a means by which if you accept so the default was always going to happen it's a default speculation rumbles on it's become clear there are fundamental flaws in the usa it's operation i think europe citizens have the right to know what the causes are at the moment they're being deflected from the real causes and they are being asked to blame little greece little greece however idiotic it may have proved in the past. and never was incapable of spearheading a global financial crisis see just who is to blame what we are experiencing in greece will be. using a new kind of war using the national of. all of the international financial crime scenes in the past eighteen months the greek government has cut wages raise taxes just pensions and in return received billions of year in bailout funds now as they await the next eight billion cash injection many are left
2:11 am
wondering if it's all been worth it just to give you another number when we first. have them in the late. one. night so in just two years. for. of the story of the. protests and strike action now an almost daily occurrence greek government faces a huge crisis of confidence amongst its electorate financially in the red politically in the dark greece's population policing their patience if greece does the thought the future of the eurozone like sixty three me uncertain indeed but
2:12 am
many people here feel that not to do so is to risk their country sinking deeper in financial and economic ruin. athens coming later in the program artie's people of our asks he's crossed our gas whether social prosperity and a strong economy are still pillars of western democracy here's a taste or. we have governments they're out. hinder creation they hinder integration going to sleep with steve it's not clear to me it's fair to say that snape is seriously going to gather here just taking one thing and take it with one to everyone on the panel is that you know we have electorates that voted for these kinds of programs for decades ok so don't say governments i mean if we're talking about people voting for politicians that say give me more and more and more and make other people pay for it later or maybe we can supply and some commonality that i agree with that i registered with or any other really
2:13 am
answer me very reassuring rock the risk go ahead i want richard in new york to go ahead yeah let me just respond to one thing this notion that governments are acting as if they are the origin of what they do governments are elected and under enormous pressure from their constituencies and to explain what governments do without an adult who is pushing them to do what is a very strange logic. can. russia has launched and other satellite into orbit as part of its global navigation project linus this means the system is now fully operational and can provide global coverage all over tells us more about the new arrival to the us produced g.p.s. system. well this is the twenty fourth subtle eye that's being launched as part of
2:14 am
the glue in us system twenty four the number the minimum number the bonus needs to be able to provide full global coverage now we will see for more cloner satellites launch throughout the rest of the next year and not be the client amount which they set out to provide the best service to customers they'll be looking to use this now it's been a long old road for blowing us from its first development back in the eighty's is a. development project by the u.s.s.r. it was then taken over by russia and they've been trying to get it up to speed to make it a valid rival to the g.p.s. system produced in the united states now it has been a rocky road as well just their last december three cloner satellites plummeted out of the sky into the pacific ocean setting back the development of the system and in fact this launch this twenty fourth launch that was delayed itself it has been put
2:15 am
back by the crash at the end of august of this year of a progress module on its way to the international space station so this is finally happened now the twenty four satellites are in orbit it gives corners global coverage they've got to see what they can do with it now the specialists say they quote us can provide precise coverage up to six meters on the ground know what that means is they can place you exactly where you are on the earth within six meters though take this for example with the g.p.s. technologies you say that. they can predict they can place you accurately within seven meters so they are going to have to try it the the target for glowing us now is to convince consumers and convince manufacturers of products that need global positioning technologies that glowed us is the one for them and that they should move away from g.p.s. but we're going to have to wait and see just how successful these continuing tests are before we can see gload us as
2:16 am
