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. 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 outrage and an internal affairs investigation many didn't believe 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
5:03 am
expect that there would be something like that again this weekend though no reports of pepper spray being used 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 of people back on wall street determined to continue their fight against corporate domination but you are right about it free to be arrested any more the whole enjoy or control of the police state disappears when that happens there are credible possibilities that are open to us and certainly you can imagine a different world if you believe you can be an agent of change the group says it aims to raise national awareness and change america's economic disparity occupy wall street describes itself as a resistance movement inspired in part by its counterparts we can volunteer believe our brothers and sisters all over the world carol springing greece and spain so we
5:04 am
can see that it did send a powerful message ordinary people are not going to stand for corporate greed anymore and that we're getting out 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 presidencies we were told obama was for change for more you know maybe four years old boy. bush. before that his father the bush dynasty any corporate greed goes all the repeal president i think this is war that they are doing to be impulsive it charges that it is true that these demonstrators come here with a variety of different messages but what is uniting that what unifies them is a growing far shore he should call for the u.s. economy social inequality and corporate influence on u.s.
5:05 am
politics these protesters say if american leaders can act it will be to have their insistence that stand up for their rights reporting from wall street more importantly party. but also crack down on wall street and the way existing financial institutions are ron show that us democracy is just an empty phrase that's according to you kate based investigative journalist tony gosling. i think we're dealing with people who are absolutely in denial they're not interested in what you ordinary people want and i think this tells us the scales are fully from our eyes this shows us that america is not a democracy they're not listening to what the people have got to say i need 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 waiting to peaceful demonstrators as they have been
5:06 am
in new york so i think this is another indication that americans democracy is actually failing a certain moment is 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 editor of an apparent news website says the main question now is whether the largely supported and sour 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 are now starting to spread across the country which is a sign that they're in that there really is something going on here and that will start to spread even further i see that there is there could be that possibility of escalation at this moment i would say that the momentum and the probably the p.r. win is on the protesters side because no one likes to see the police going in and breaking up a peaceful protest movements like that and especially now that we're getting
5:07 am
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 waiting in a p.r. game but them but again i think there is a there is 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 the on the from the federal reserve and the privately owned banking set of central banking system of the united states. and another showcase of public anger is bubbling in the u.k. . people post well you know usually local shits like you. tens of thousands of people to stand on manchester to take part in a march against government cuts also a little later in the program identity crisis parents and teachers across france are enraged by a new school books that revise a story called council named after political correctness. the greek debt crisis has taken a sharp turn for the worse as world markets react to athens admission it won't be
5:08 am
able to meet key mandated deficit deadlines for both this year and next the revelation signals that the shocking degree of a steri posed by athens honest people has failed sending the economy into in a manageable contraction it's especially worrying given that e.u. debt inspectors in greece are currently deciding on whether to release more bailout funds for the country the country's government has said that unless it gets that money it won't be able to pay its bills for this month artists are first looks at just word of this now puts embattled country. greece now default that's the million dollar question with a more exact the four hundred fifty billion a year a question the table that greece now. but could never be let's be. greece ever for. europe's government you need to be
5:09 am
if you are or or i don't know what to believe. the greek government is running out to vote they can keep trying to impose these vehicles very few that would likely lead to more of the violent clashes between riot police and protesters and the last week for months all they can to kids to default that year is they need to have insisted that default is not an option. concern that led police to do you say it could spark a financial meltdown in the usa there's now a growing recognition that behind closed doors other options are being considered. called different cards has been on the cards now for a year and a half or two. because when you have a bad overhang of a very exorbitant science but we have here in greece it is impossible to imagine that disturbing story because i mean suppose. so the default was always going to happen as it's a full speculation rumbles on it's become clear that there are fundamental flaws in
5:10 am
the u.a.e. things operation i think europe's citizens have the right to know what the causes are at the moment they're being be flipped out from very real causes and they're 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 for what we are experiencing in greece would be inclusive. if using new kind of war using international of. the international financial crime syndicate for 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 wondering if it's all been worth it just
5:11 am
to give you another number when we first. met it was. it was a one. hundred fifty. five. series the next year one. so just two years after all of this for good. of course not but. then when i was with protests and strike action now it almost daily occurrence government faces a huge crisis of confidence amongst the lecturer it's financially in the red politically in the dark greece's population leasing their patience if greece does the thought the future of the eurozone like fix dreamy uncertain indeed but many people here feel but not to the say is to risk their country sinking deeper in
