following a showdown on brooklyn bridge that saw more than seven hundred people arrested at the weekend the movement called occupy wall street is promising more marchers against corporate greed and now war veterans are joining in to show their support. has an update from the new york. what is planning to take place the next few hours is another demonstration of protest by wall street but this one to take place directly outside of city hall now the purpose of this protest demonstrators organizers say is to call on the city to drop all charges against italy eight hundred protesters out more arrested this saturday evening those arrests took place of course when. wall street protesters marched from wall street to the brooklyn bridge it was the largest arrests to take place in one single day here in new york city since the two thousand and four republican national convention from what we are being told in addition to that some new faces that may be seen in this

gathering will be u.s. veterans soldiers members of the marines and army that have said they will be coming out to protect some of the protesters that many believe are being aggressively confronted by the new york city police department we saw an incident where women were pepper sprayed in the face by a police officer a few weeks ago and then of course these arrests that took place on the brooklyn bridge saturday evenings let's take a look back at what has transpired over the past few weeks. 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 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 quo. 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 no reports of pepper spray being used there were thousands of people stopped and hundreds arrested arrested after of us 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 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 we can follow the lead 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 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. for that instance we were always for. four more you know maybe four years old boy. bush. before that his father the bush dynasty i mean corporate greed goes all the repeal president i think this is where the they are going to be impulsive it started. 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 than party here. and on our website r t dot com are interested in your opinion on

the occupy wall street protesters and so far the majority believe we're witnessing america's own arab spring less than a quarter consider the protesters victims of police for pressure all fifteen percent think they are a breath agents had already failed a couple more than double makers. have more say. and earlier i spoke to alex vitality who is an associate professor at brooklyn college and someone who actually took part of the weekend's rally and he told me the ultimate aim of the protesters is to create a different political climate in the country. mystery about what's going on down there there's a clear sense the united states the power of wall street is completely out of control and that they are responsible for an economy and i think young people in particular feel that their futures and mortgage to pay for the our region's salaries and bonuses by these wall street executives are looking for long term

solutions i don't think the short term measures that they are peeling for government to address i think in large are what they're trying to do is to create a political climate where a number of political actors can start to talk seriously about. really reforms that hopefully can break this kind of corrupt marriage between economic and political leaders in our suits and next hour artie's peter lavelle has crossed our guest discuss who if anyone is influencing the decisions taken by governments here's a quick preview. the government. is not doing what its public wanted doing what its interest groups want at the moment those interest groups are led to unions and this place for more big corporations is. real and labor unions are changing it's an excellent go ahead steve. what an extraordinary. year let's remember one simple fact right in the united states today in the private

sector that dominates our economy six point nine percent of workers are represented by a trade union ninety three and point one percent of our working class in the private sector has no union to explain government policy based on the union movement as tiny and powerless as this is a chance to see. now as the forces of libya's new rulers continue their siege of the two remaining gadhafi strongholds we spoke to an eyewitness a woman from tripoli who asked that we call her selma was it a day ago now speaking in a low voice and fear for her life she said a former rebels care little about the wellbeing of civilians. can go right from. the norm koger don't think we're going to be acting out the two of you

are you just because he thought and it would have seemed as if you don't like you and i think people who are among the many many don't rag it. pretty true. well the dire situation in a serious and bani walid is being ignored by the media that's the view of author and journalist afshin rattansi this is what nato are involved in an action which is obviously contrary to the u.n. resolution which is supposedly mandated to go in and overthrow the government of gadhafi we're getting reports of electric torture electric shock torture being used

by these revolutionaries who exactly are the people that are fighting nato because they may not like it f.e.m.a. may not like the nato backed troops very interesting that the most advanced in the world of nato just six months on and they still haven't won the country this is all about the idea that these great powers as of old can divide up the resources and the future of the libyan people why they're quiet about it the media kind of go forward after the initial explosions and so-called attacks that they don't even reporting the bombing of hospitals and of course the today is approaching its end. to other news now the former vice president a former oil giant you cos has died in moscow at the age of thirty nine but still the unexplained the honor once the partner of me have had a was convicted of a bezel two thousand and six he was released on bail two years ago later as hope significantly worse and it has been the reported on had aids because of this

i say that in light of the recent events in the arab world that have come to be known as the arab spring as an arab league president had declared a palestinian spray the united states is against this move what is the opposition in regard to the current stance of the us what i'm. talking about the arab spring the palestinian spring the palestinian spring is happening even before it was declared opposition was unambiguous the palestinians want the occupation to end they want to put an end to the divide these are their demands that they've always put forward we went to the un security council demanding palestine be recognized as

a un member state we have had that right since one nine hundred forty seven since resolution one eight one was adopted forming two states israel and palestine sixty four years later we want the states to actually be formed the state of israel has been created but not the state of palestine today sixty four years later we want that state to be formed israel and the us a calling our actions unilateral but when we address the entire world community one hundred ninety three states i don't think they will see them as unilateral or actions cannot be compared to the construction of settlements on the palestinian territory this is unilateral action whereas our beds to the un is not furthermore we do not want to challenge the legitimacy of the state of israel israel is a valid state and we have recognized it if the arab peace initiative had been adopted fifty seven arab and islamic states would have followed suit and recognized

israel that means that we support the existence of the state of israel and do not want to challenge its legitimacy or seek its isolation and the only thing that we want to challenge the legitimacy of the policy of occupation. legitimacy of israeli settlement activities this is our rights and we demanded the u.s. and israel say our action is unilateral this is exactly why we have applied to the security council let's just wait and see as for the right of veto we knew in advance and we were officially notified that washington will use its veto during the voting in our bid it's clear that the u.s. as the dominant world power wants to extend its support to israel but what concerns us most is that the u.s. wants to force all the countries that took part in the general assembly big and small alike in particular the members of the u.n. security council to vote against palestinian membership in the un this is the key concern for us all the member states of the security council have the right to use

or as i would put it misuse their right to veto but of course such a decision will be regrettable but we will comment on it only after it's taken not today. so that is that mr president some say the latest steps he have taken mark any era in the settlement process the u.s. monopoly and decision making in this region has been shattered and the palestinian issue is now open to brode international discussion how do you comment on that the veto threat undermining the plans. we took to the floor at the u.n. general assembly to declare that we are a state in fact an occupied state they say we must first hold negotiations but we don't see why the two things i mean the palestinian bid for un membership and the talks on a peaceful settlement cannot go on in parallel session to the un will mean the recognition that palestine is a country in a state of occupation that will make our position absolutely clear we are an

occupied country that seeks to hold negotiations on all the issues including an end to the armed confrontation with israel i believe this is the right way to move forward of course provided that the other side has a genuine. desire to go the right way. so that the public on your historic speech has resonated to melissa and society but hamas has expressed a different opinion how did you perceive their status. and. i would not like to speak on the negative effects resulting from the position of a mass they say this was unilateral action taken without prior consultations with them but it's a totally different story you may have skipped the consultations but you have to come out with the right initiative before then any talk of unilateral action will play into israel's hands there are also voices within how mass both official and unofficial that have a different view and we're aware of them it's been

a week since my speech it's a done deal so i would not want to discuss the negative consequences i want to point out that we need to come together and start the re conciliation process the decision on that has been taken and hopefully in the near future it will be reached with the length of the media as the allies you speech tend to emphasize you call for government reform as the main precondition of national reconciliation in what ways will the government do is formed. and. i did not say i wanted to replace the government but there is a lack of understanding of the principles of governmental constitution that we had agreed upon we talked about a transitional government comprised of independent members and technocrats it is not a government of national unity the transitional government has to organize elections in the country and i'm responsible for that is head of the palestinian liberation organization at present we can discuss candidacies for transitional government membership i think any candidates nominated by fattah the people strand or any

other movement are suitable as long as they fit the description of independent technocrat if they don't fit i cannot approve their candidacies so i. mr president. you have said several times the child was going to run for another term in office is it possible that public opinion might force her position to change after her given years toric speech. taking part in presidential elections is not a matter of popularity i have the people support today but that might change tomorrow and i've said before that i will not run for another term another politician whom we shall all support might come into the spotlight he will gain popularity and the love of people that will be a result of his work and his achievements for my parts i will not change my position and i've decided that i will not run for another term in office today tomorrow or in the future. thank you very much for the interview mr president thank
