is actually coming to you live from moscow i'm marina joshie welcome to the program a wave of public discontent in the u.s. shows no sign of abating all the saudis protests were hundreds of peaceful demonstrators were arrested sparking accusations of heavy handed policing the finance a wall street activist refused to back down saying more marches against corporate greed and social inequality are in the pipeline artie's more important i caught up with some of those involved. the new season in a different nation the arab spring has become america's autumn and on saturday new york's brooklyn bridge reminded many of a scene from egypt to here square. here only eight hundred protesters were trapped cuffed arrested and jailed as thousands of activists continued their second week of occupy wall street demonstrations
4:02 am
a grassroots movement is campaigning against social inequality and influence over u.s. politics in the interim police conduct against peaceful protesters has come into question. just last week and the york city police officer attacked occupy wall street protesters with pepper spray prompting public outrage and an internal affairs investigation many didn't believe that there would be another dramatic confrontation 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 thousands of people sought 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 about to breed to be arrested any more the whole entire control of the police state 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 aims to raise national awareness and change on the. because economic disparity occupy wall street describes itself as a resistance movement inspired in part by it from counterparts we can. believe of our brothers and sisters all over the world the arab spring in greece and spain and we can see that it did send a powerful message ordinary people are not going to stand for corporate greed anymore and that we're giving up we're doing something about it. and the reason
4:04 am
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 and it's corporate. we were told it was for three or more four years old boy. bush. before that is part of the bush dynasty corporate greed goes all the way to president i think this is where they are doing also the charge and 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 citizens that stand up for their rights reporting from wall street more important party. goals a crackdown on wall street and the wake system financial institutions iran show
4:05 am
that us democracy is just an empty phrase and as according to u.k. based investigative journalist tony. i think we're dealing with people who are absolutely in denial they're not interested in what he 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. in a democracy the police do not whiting to peaceful demonstrators as they have been in new york so i think this is another indication that america's democracy is actually failing a certain moment is failing in 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 for that editor of independent news website says the main question now is whether the largely supported and wall street movement is likely to turn to a strong record 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 i see that there could be that possibility of escalation at this moment i would say that. the probably the p.r. win is on the protester side because no one likes to see the police going in and breaking up 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 the p.r. game 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
4:07 am

a taster we have governments that. hinder creation they hinder innovation he's going to take but steve it's not clear to me it's fair to say that it's a very serious someone better educated to the point in the take i'm going to go into everyone on the panel is that you know we have electricity 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 surprise some commonality that i agree with that richard with any other really ends up in the returns one bridge here and up here risk go ahead i want richard in new york to go ahead yeah let me just respond to one thing that this notion that governments act 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 and that'll izing who's pushing them to do what is a very strange logic. and. russia
