well why don't you use a live from the heart of moscow this is artsy with me received shying away from public discontent in the us shows no sign of abating it's following saturday's protest where hundreds of peaceful demonstrators were arrested sparked accusations of heavy handed policing to find a empty wall street directed wrists refused to back down saying more marches against corporate greed and social equality inequality rather are all in the pipeline. caught up with some of those involved. a 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. nearly eight hundred protesters were trapped cuffed arrested and jailed as thousands of activists continued their second week of occupy wall street demonstrations the
7:02 am
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 outrage and an internal affairs investigation many didn't believe that there would be another dramatic confrontation as we can after what happened last weekend after four women were pepper sprayed 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 so i am no reports pepper spray being used there were thousands of people stopped and hundreds arrested arrested activists were charged with disorderly conduct and so. to appear
7:03 am
in criminal court. by sunday hundreds of peered back on wall street determined to continue their fight against corporate domination once you are not afraid to be arrested anymore 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 and 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 you can follow me believe over 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 getting up and we're doing something about it. and the
7:04 am
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 president and we were told obama was for change for you know will be four years old boy. bush. before that his father the bush dynasty i mean corporate greed goes all the way up to the president i think this is where the the are doing to me pulse of it start to talk wall street it is true that these demonstrators come here with a variety of different messages but what is uniting not what unifies that 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 part see here. both the crackdown on wall street. and the way existing financial
7:05 am
and institutions are run sure that u.s. democracy is just an empty phrase that's according to u.k. 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 wading 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 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
7:06 am
need to be listening to what these people have got to say in the course they're not listening i mean time james called an editor of an independent news website says that the main question now is whether the largely supported anti wall street movement is actually going 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 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 you know 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 on to 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
7:07 am
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 for the federal reserve in the at the privately owned banking so the central banking system of the united states and the public anger is bubbling in the u.k. . with joy if people post what would you tell you she said taking tens of thousands of people descend on manchester to take part in a march against government cuts also a little bit later in the program here on a c. identity crisis parents and teachers all across france are enraged by new school books that revise historical accounts in the name of political correctness. this is our duty now the greek debt crisis has taken a shop turn for the worse as well the markets will react to athens admission that it won't be able to meet key mandated deficit deadlines so both this year and next the revelation signals that the shocking
7:08 am
a degree of austerity imposed by athens on its people has failed sending the economy into a manageable contraction it's specially worrying given that e.u. deafened specters in greece are currently deciding on whether to release more bailout funds for the country but its government says that unless it gets the money it won't be able to pay its bills for the. this month sarah ferguson looks at just where this now puts the embattled nation. will greece now default that's the million dollar question or to be more exact the four hundred fifty billion a year a question. that greece now is about could never be let's be serious you think about greece who ever four hundred fifty billion euros of government there you need to be if you would or or i don't know what to believe something the government is running out of options they can keep trying to impose the state to start the measures that would likely lead to more of the violent
7:09 am
clashes the same between riot police and protesters and the last weeks and months or they can instead choose to default the year is a new leaders have insisted that default is not an option they're concerned that were 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 a group called the from your the cards has been on the cards and off for a year and a half or two have been on the cards because when you have a dead overhang of the exorbitant size but 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 that 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
7:10 am
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. using new kind of war using 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 about one. of the. over one hundred fifty.
7:11 am
cities that it's going to be next year one. nine so in just two years after all of this for the people. of the economy not. this increase in. 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 is population leasing their patience if greece does the fault the future of the eurozone like six string me uncertain indeed that many people here feel but not to the say is to risk their country sinking deeper into financial and economic ruin. athens. coming up just a little bit later but very own
7:12 am
a people of alaska has crossed all guests whether social prosperity and a strong economy still pillows of western democracy here's a preview. we have a government that. hinder creation they endure in a very big state but steve it's not clear to me it's fair to say that it's a mysterious. 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 there i agree with that i didn't like that i mean it really ends. 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
7:13 am
governments do without in analyzing who's pushing them to do what is a very strange logic. and. you can watch crosstalk about twenty minutes time right here when i see now russia has a launch another satellite into orbit as part of its global navigation project known as glowing us the system is fully operational can provide total global coverage he's put her all of a tells us more about the new arrival to the u.s. produced g.p.s. system. well this is the twenty fourth south so i that's been launched as part of the glue in us system twenty four the number the minimum number the glowing us needs to be able to provide full global coverage now we will see four more cloner
7:14 am
satellites launched throughout the rest of the next year and none of the required 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 a glowing house from its first development back in the eighty's as a as 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 though it has been a rocky road as well just there last december three grown our satellites plummeted out of the sky into the pacific ocean now the twenty four satellites are in orbit the specialists say that glow douse can provide precise coverage up to six meters on the ground now take this for example with the g.p.s. technology so they can place you accurately within seven meters the target for gload us now is to convince consumers and convince manufacturers of products that
