those holding rings of financial and political power common americans who make up most of this country who don't have access to corporate power and the media don't have many options to get their voices heard those who take specific steps to fight for change in the u.s. are largely getting annoyed and marginalized this artist an activist has been arrested twice i didn't expect to be arrested i didn't expect to get beat by the police. incarcerated for always and always knows. good cause and for this movement. ignored for the first two weeks of occupying wall street the peaceful movement started taking tougher measures by getting bigger and louder the only way to get the media to notice is to be disobedient you have to stir it up to the people who noticed. the mass arrests have built up popular support for the movement. you know. for putting us through some type of abuse

because it's hope with all you know it's bringing more and more people out here some have sacrificed more than ours in jail to fight against wall street many people have quit their jobs that have come here that's already happened the corporate media week three into the campout cy there does not pay much attention here the sunday front pages of some of america's most read newspapers or ridicules both the form and the substance of the gathering it is equal parts but surely body odor and you're and they're more concerned with. brainwashing people american idol and sports drama and pretty much anything to serve as attraction other than the important issue right now this is a biggie for a noticed by the corporate and political elite it's tougher than ever for those against the system to get attention with even some police officers ready to admit this protest is the way you know that. they only have billable of a way to do what i said i did the occupy wall street movement promises to grow in

the months to come and history shows that the voice of the people can't be neglected forever is that r.t.e. new york. all the latest and most gripping videos of the protests a right to new york are available for you twenty four seven an hour you tube channel. four news today violence is once again flared up. and these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. giant corporations rule the day. professor alex vitality who took part in the new york protests claims they were met with extreme police violence he says the demonstrators ultimate aim is to achieve change in the political landscape of america. 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 a commune merican economy and i think young people in particular feel that their futures of the mortgage to pay for the are really just salaries and bonuses by these wall street executives you're looking for long term solutions i don't think they were term measures that they were peeling for government to address them or for what they're trying to do is to create a political climate where a number of political actors can start to talk seriously about six million reforms that hopefully can break this kind of marriage between economic and political elites in the united states still have a sour here in our teeth and in the line of fire that forces loyal to the new world continue their fight for control of the country it's a billions of bear the brunt player eyewitnesses tell or t.-y.

they live in fear for their lives. eurozone finance chiefs have again pushed back the final decision over the release of further bailout funds for cash strapped greece this time until november that was after athens announced it would be unable to meet its death containment targets greece desperately needs the next tranche of eight billion euros to pay its everyday bills if the money doesn't arrive by minute told we're the country will not be able to pay the debts and may have to declare bankruptcy that's in spite of government efforts to adhere to tough and i'm after man's by bringing in highly unpopular staring measures for weeks the country has been hit by angry public protests and strikes our correspondent sara firth has more details from athens. here. excited that the economic quite distinctly played out it's time and again we've seen people turning out. of the building the place to get their stacks of basics

they say. just to be untenable we find ourselves back in a position where people now really are just old has been achieved by implementing these astaire's the measures the police government has just admitted that it wants to be able to tell me it's tough deficit reduction target. the whole usa really about what the implications of that will be the greek government have also brings in measures but thirty thousand civil servants armed with a little need of a dungeon in the salary for a year. at the end of the year the possibility of dismissal there are great the boys won't even get back next. year i'm needed if the country were to stay up late to treat quoted to care in the cockpit that may be trying to hammer out the details of that now it has to be such that this stage it will be only should you get that money because that. would be felt. they would but the police at this point

is also about the rest of us a country and indeed the global economy that is that this is not a number one the fact that people only know what is it going to be able to come up with realistic solutions to get the country out of the situation that has been criticism from some of the analysts we spoke to see here and i think they said that we've seen job losses we've seen the cut wages and pensions these are people who no longer be able to pay cut to people who are struggling to pay the taxes and yet the government still seem to be suddenly cut a solution to plug up the deficit in the budget so there are concerns really about the practicalities of any of these measures having any effect we'll also talk about the possibility of quick default and as we said still a lot of public anger at the people bill that the laws are being put in a situation that is simply untenable that they can't live with the big concerns

really about why. i needed a going to be able to pull the country at this situation. tara furthur pour in there for more on greek debt crisis well now targeting investment advisor patrick young has i'm. missing out thanks for being here with us in the program first star well this isn't the first time the decision to release bailout money to greece has been postponed why is that. look the simple problem is that greece can't make their numbers and i think the tragedy of this situation is that the greeks have been so we. are they're not what actually is their budget for so many years i mean this is been going on for ten maybe twenty maybe thirty years but they simply cannot account for where their money is and ultimately the european union and the other lenders want to see the idea that greece is making considerable progress on balancing its budget and the tragedy is that it's probably just too little too late the e.u. has been slow and analyzing and are going on the situation the greeks were far too

late and admitting what they're crisis actually was and ultimately as we can see the people are suffering enough and in iran greece at the moment and that's a tragedy. well in that the lie that i mean what you read in the following situation. i mean greece has set of that it needs cash by mid october to pay a cell arrays and pensions but what we're hearing from luxembourg now is that there are funds to last until november. so what they're going does that mean that greece has lost its say over its own debt crisis look i think that there are two issues here essentially what is being fought at the moment is a battle for the sovereignty of greece i mean we've seen already other countries in the nation being de facto carved up by the european union and other brit parts in relation to costs of oil in places like out of serbia and what's happening here is essentially the european union are trying to tick fiscal control of greece because

they think that's the only way they can actually control the crisis and you know what they're probably right about probably is the only way to get the crisis under control if they're going to try and keep our funds and greece within the euro zone but the truth of the matter is that i don't believe that the greeks want to be taken over and ruined by some sort of come from northern europe with a ground busier being appointed from brussels and i certainly don't believe that the european union are going to be able to do anything to solve the fundamental problems of greece at this moment without actually indeed injuring the credit rating of germany and the solvent states of northern europe. well auditors are now in athens assessing progress where the stair any measure is but in your opinion how effective have those measures been. the measures it really depends on how you want to look at this are we looking at this is relation to pure numbers or are we looking at a relation the politics or economics or the people in political terms in within the

european union progress has definitely been made the problem is when you have a patient that's already suffering from essentially a terrible illness over seventy five percent of their body and you get that terrible illness to be only affecting seventy percent of their body well i'm not terribly optimistic that that patient is going to actually survive and that's exactly where we are today the european union is too slow in doing there's too little leadership and there is a pig headed intransigence particularly amongst the finance ministers but as specially amongst the leaders of the european union nations in terms of understanding that they needed to move a lot faster on this crisis they still need to move much faster and ultimately time is running out because greece is leading the contagion that is going to kill the euro by the end of the year if we don't see positive and rapid action really

realistically about action means that greece needs to leave the euro because the problem is we cannot leave citizens of the european union to starve to death because it suits the troika of international lenders but this is a case of essential some form of field stared and we need a different kind of a we need to let the greeks go free before this whole thing ends up with actually frankly some form of revolution in greece and i suspect a return of something like the generals those are the sorts of appalling options that are not on the table jude to the intransigence and incompetence of the european union and are doing to help the situation earlier while greece is not the only country in the european union that are struggling or whether it's problems take for instance spain or italy and portugal so. i mean how likely is it that the situation actually spread to other countries and how the domino effect. well the

problem we have is that with the european union's lead governments being either in public denial as we've seen from mr younker the head of the euro zone ministers overnight denying that there's ever going to be a greek default but let's face it there is going to be a greek default there's no point in arguing to your greek bonds currently pay uprooting fifty percent interest the market realizes that the greek economy within the euro zone is affectively toast not how do we stop that contagion an excellent question what i see here is the fact that we need to see strong leadership we need to help the italians through a liquidity crisis because the italians have to issue a lot of debt in the course of the next three or four months but actually although they have a lot of borrowings in the longer term they essentially have quite a lot of good budgetary economics i mean their budget is actually not particularly barlu their economy is not really going somewhere in the in the case of spain the

worry there is essential in the property over and how quickly what i think will be a new government of the p.p. will manage to come in and affect the spanish finances because unemployment is killing the country and in that respect really the problem for the european union is they need to instill confidence they need to make sure that essentially the factors that affected greece are allowed to basically be dissipated or and therefore really they need to very very quickly act decisively get greece side of the euro and shore up the other countries to avoid conflicts but mr young as he said not much time left for agrees and we'll have to wrap this up now thank you very much indeed for your insight here patted down talking to us from poland. to other stories now levy is new rulers have named temporary cabinet ministers to govern the country until it is fully secured meanwhile their forces continue to lay

artie's marine corps sort of reports the situation is more a reflection of ill informed public of the current economic environment. sushi your savings from a national currency to a foreign one may seem like a sign of panic but that's not the case in russia since the ninety's when hyperinflation made it impossible to put prices in rubles many russians used u.s. dollars and euros instead most of russians still have their savings in foreign currencies partly because they don't trust the ruble stability and whenever there is any sign on quite natural turbulence people rush to convert and that is what's happening now but many analysts say that's only making the situation worse the ruble weakened against the dollar extending its worst quarterly depreciation in over two years it's lost fourteen percent in the past two months but it's still nowhere near the two thousand and nine financial crisis when the russian currency lost a third of its value last month transfers reached their highest level in two years
