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 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 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 not afraid to be arrested anymore the whole enjoy or control of the police. disappears when that happens they are hard credible possibilities that are open to us and suddenly you can imagine a different world and 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 a few counterparts we can file the believe of our brothers and sisters all over the world the hairspring 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 getting up we're doing something about it. and the reason these activists are doing something on wall street rather than washington is
5:04 am
because they say you have to follow the money begin where the largest campaign contributions donations and lobby groups come from its corporate president and we were told obama was for change for you know maybe four years old. bush. before that his father the bush dynasty i mean corporate greed goes all the way up to the president i think this is or that they are doing to demean paul supercharger wall street it is true that these demonstrators come here with a variety of different messages but what is uniting about 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. both a crackdown on wall street and the way existing financial institutions are ron show
5:05 am
that us democracy is just an empty phrase that's according to you cave based investigative journalist tony gosling. 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 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
5:06 am
need to be listening to what these people have got to say in the course they're not listening james corbat editor of an apparent news website says the main question now is whether the largely supported and 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 i see that there there could be that possibility of escalation at this moment i would say that the the momentum and the probably even the p.r. win is on the protesters side because no one likes to see big police going in 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 the 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 on the on the federal reserve in the at the privately owned banking so central banking system of the united states. and another showcase of public anger is bubbling and the u.k. . people post what you post the really cool shit taking. tens of thousands of people to sanibel 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 names of 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 able to meet you mandated deficit deadlines for both this year and next the revelation signals that the shocking degree of a stary imposed by athens honest people has failed while sending the economy into in a manageable contraction it's especially worrying given that

a huge 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 for us looks of just words this now puts embattled country. will greece now default that's the million dollar question or to be more exact the full hundred fifty billion a year a question. that greece now is about could never be live. you think about greece who never foregrounded fifty billion euros of government there you need to be. or or i don't know what to believe something like 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 the violent clashes we've seen between riot police and protest the in the last week the month all they can instead choose
5:09 am
to default that year as they need to have insisted that default is not an option. that concern that led to do you say it could spark a financial meltdown in the year as a there's now a growing recognition that behind closed doors other options are being considered a good hold is definitely on the cards has been on the cards now for a year and a half or two have been in the cards because when you have a dead harvard hanging over the exorbitant size that we have here in greece it is impossible to imagine that the state here we can be a means by which you can reduce it so the default was always going to happen as a default speculation rumbles on it's become clear there are fundamental flaws in the usa and operation i think europe citizens have the right to know what the causes are at the moment they are being deflected from the real causes and they are being asked to blame little greece little greece however idiotic it may have proved
5:10 am
in the past it is and never was incapable of spearheading a global financial crisis see just who is to blame but what we are experiencing in greece today it is a financial. using a new kind of war it is an international of. all 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 to give you another number when we first. was. there was about one. of the. now this over fifty in the latest. series that it's going to be next year one

eight hundred nine so in just two years after all of this sacrifices for. people in the news 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 uk greece's population leasing their patience if greece does the folk the future of the year six string me uncertain indeed that many people here feel but not to do you say is to risk their country sinking deeper into financial and economic ruin sarah. athens and coming up later today r.t.s. peter lavelle asks his cross-town guest whether social prosperity and a strong economy are still pillars of western democracy here's
5:12 am
a taster we have governments that. hinder creation they endure in a very bad shape but steve it's not clear to me it's fair to say that it's taking me seriously going to bed early they're just going to take i'm going to go into 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 in some commonality that i agree with that i originated with i mean i really am. wondering if you're up here 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

is and we are much more vulnerable to a global recession because of the potential weakness in the oil price and the price that and demand for other commodities and a second reason why we see more volatility is because russia doesn't have a strong enough domestic capital base. you know because we don't yet have you know extensive structured pension funds and structures and even schemes as is the case in most other markets we are very reliant on foreign capital flows to a much greater extent than other emerging markets so when there is any reason for investors to be nervous about global events they will take their money out of emerging markets and we do not have the substitution of domestic money which countries like brazil india and china do have. which brings us to the market's current is extended losses from the one below on concerns slowing u.s. economy and europe's debt could fuel to mont investors expect reports to show event of thought showing in the u.s. barely grew in september lights which is trading at seventy seven dollars per
