9:01 am
just twenty five pm here in moscow and this is with me wrong research welcome to the program theory of a corporate power in the us is spreading all the way from new york to the west coast thousands have joined the so-called occupy wall street movement there and goodbye the economic slump on the role of big business and at hundreds of demonstrators have been arrested at this point about as authors honest to see a check and i reports america's mainstream media has largely been ignoring the rapidly growing with. taking the big apple by storm. getting arrested by the hundreds. getting netted and pepper sprayed in the face. spending night and day on the far from welcoming streets of the financial district . that's the price these demonstrators are paying to get their outrage across to those holding reins of financial and political power common americans who make up
9:02 am
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 and fight for change in the u.s. are largely getting annoyed at marginalized this artist and activist has been arrested twice i didn't expect to be arrested i didn't expect to get beat by the police i didn't expect to get locked in incarcerated for hours and hours and i was willing to do that for both 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 them for putting us through some type of abuse because. you know it's bringing. some have sacrificed
9:03 am
more than hours in jail to fight against wall street many people have quit their jobs have come here that's already happened the corporate media week three into that camp out 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 truly body odor and you're and they're more concerned with. brainwashing people american idol sports drama and pretty much anything to serve as attraction important issues right now this is a big report and noticed by the coursework and political elite it's tougher than ever for those against the system to get attention would even some police officers ready to admit this protest is the way. the only. way to deal with. the occupy wall street movement promise is to grow in the months to come and history shows that the voice of the people can't be neglected forever is that
9:04 am
r.t.e. new york are now time for you to get involved with us here at all to do you taking time to tell us what you think about the wave of protests are raging across america you can cost you a vote at all dot com let's check out some of the numbers right now we are asking who off the so-called activists in the occupy wall street campaign the numbers say that most of you think freedom and democracy fighting is just like the arab spring activists the second most popular liking of it falling behind is that they are victims of police repression and the rest of the just hired crowds or a bunch of simple troublemakers do you share your view with us here at r.t. . dot com. well demonstrators in the u.s. have been voicing their anger of a rising joblessness student debt and police brutality professor alex batali he actually took part in the protests in new york actually believes that their ultimate goal is to change america's political climate. there's
9:05 am
a clear sense the united states that the power of wall street is completely out of control and that they are responsible for wrecking new american economy and i think young people in particular feel that their futures have been rebuilt or gets to pay for the outrageous salaries and bonuses earned by these one street executives i think in large part what they're trying to do is to create a political climate where a number of political actors can start to talk seriously about significant reports that hopefully can break up this kind of corrupt marriage between economic and political elites in the united states i think it started more like the indignance movement in screen with the young people who felt alienated from both. politics and from the big political institutions labor unions and cetera but what it's morphing into i think is something more like what's been going on in greece which is of poor laws kind of movement against the politics of austerity that benefits wall street and so that's why we're seeing more labor support more support from community
9:06 am
organizations who feel that they're being asked to take pay cuts cuts and services of that wall street continue to enjoy all kinds of tax breaks and giant bonuses from financial problems in america all the way to greece which has once again been left hanging at this time until mid november a year as i ministers have pushed back a decision on handing of a more bailout cash athens has admitted it won't meet the deficit deadlines despite crippling cuts but the greek finance minister has said the nation can wait one more month for a rescue. reports from austerity capital out of athens. it's been here almost impact was the most dramatic side of this economic crisis in greece has been played out as time and again we've seen people turning up outside the parliament building to protest against the seville starts the measures that they say has to be untenable we find ourselves back in a position where people now are really asking just won't has been achieved by
9:07 am
implementing these asperity measures to quit government has committed that it won't be able to me it's tough deficit reduction targets sent through out the whole year you say really about what the implications of that will be the greek government have also brings a measure to put thirty thousand civil servants on reserve that'll mean of a dungeon in the salary for you. at the end of the year the possibility of dismissal there are great you won't even get that injection. and hearing needed if the country were to stay if labor deployed quoted to care in the country at the moment trying to hammer out the details of that now it has to be said that. the only sure you get that money because that would be felt almost immediately bad for greece at this point is also bad for the rest of the eurozone countries and indeed the global economy that is that it this would have a separate knock on the sides people are really asking now whether the euro is
9:08 am
a need 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 in to hear nothing say said that we've seen the job losses we've seen the cuts in wages and pensions of these are people who no longer be able to pay cuts to people who are struggling to pay the taxes and yet the government still seem to be such a list tax based solution to plug that big deficit in the budget so there are concerns really about the practicalities of any of these measures having. and he also talked about the possibility of. and as we said still a lot of public anger at the people here he feels that their lives are being put in a situation that is simply untenable that they can live with. that we've seen so much over the last year or so happening big concerns really about whether the usa need is going to be able to pull the country out of the situation. reporting right
9:09 am
despite ongoing rumors the euro finance ministers have rejected the possibility that greece will default on its loans but investment advisor patrick young says i think needs to leave the single currency if indeed it wants to save its crippled economy. the european union are trying to take fiscal control of greece because they think that's the only way they can actually control the crisis essentially what is being fought at the moment is a battle for the sovereignty of greece the european union is too slow there's too little leadership and there is a hague headed intransigence particularly amongst the finance ministers but they're specially amongst the leaders of the european union ations 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
9:10 am
euro by the end of the year if we don't see positive and rough production realistically that 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 a troika of international lenders. well while leaders are looking for specific ways to tackle the world's financial troubles are some economists say the problem lies deep within the global structure we spoke to a senior scholar at yale university that of emmanuel washing who thinks that modern a financial system is actually reaching its natural and. modern capitalism has in my view but that's a long story reach the end of its rope and it cannot survive as a system and what we are seeing is the structural crisis of the system its roots are in many ways the impossibility of continuing the basic principle of capitalism
9:11 am
which is. ceaseless accumulation of capital and that's the whole point of capitalism as a system and it's it's worked in some ways marvelously well for five hundred years it's been a extremely successful system in what it has tried to do but it has under. itself as all systems do it's extremely dangerous to you and to me it's a system in which everything is relatively short term unpredictable if you don't know what's going to happen the next day or the next year then you don't know what to do and. that's basically what we're seeing in the world economy right now there's a paralysis nobody's investing really and if you don't invest that makes the situation even worse but people. don't much choice. they don't have too much choice the options are few.
