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 coming americans who make up most of this country 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 fight for change in the west are largely getting ignored and marginalized this artist and activist has been arrested twice i didn't expect to be arrested and it's weird to get beat by the police to get locked up incarcerated for always and always knows where i would say do to food but good cause and for this movement. i 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
11:03 am
notice is to be disobedient. to the people who noticed. the mass arrests have built up popular support for the movement by. putting us through some for abuse because it's hope. you know it's bringing more work and some have sacrificed more than hours in jail to fight against wall street and many people have quit their jobs that have come here that's already happened the corporate media week three into the camp outside 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 and sports drama and pretty much anything to serve as a true. if i did any important issue. right now this is a because i noticed quite
11:04 am
a 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. the only. way to do it i imagine 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 and if they see it sure cannot r.t.e. new york and i we are inviting you to get involved just tell us what you think about the wave of protests are raging across america in cost you have voted r.t. dot com we're asking who are the so-called occupy wall street activists are checking out the numbers here most of you think they are freedom and democracy fighters just like the arab spring activists or the second most popular rather far behind is that they are victims of police repression and the rest of their hired crowd or just a bunch of trouble share what you think and are teed off. demonstrators in the

united states again voicing their anger over rising joblessness student debt and police brutality professor alex if it's hardly he took part in the protests and your belief is their ultimate goal is to change america's political climate. there's 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 rewarded stood before the outrageous salaries and bonuses earned by these wall 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 reforms that hopefully can break up this kind of corrupt marriage between economic and political elites in the ninety's i think it started more likely indignance movement in spain with the young people who felt alienated from both. and from the political institutions labor unions and cetera what it's morphing into i think is
11:06 am
something more like what's been going on in greece which is of 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 organizations who feel that they are being asked to take pay cuts cuts and services so that wall street and into enjoying all kinds of tax breaks and giant bonuses while the financial frustration isn't just in america greece has it once again being left hanging this time until mid november eurozone it ministers have pushed back a decision on handing over more bailout cash and says admitted that it won't meet deficit that lines despite crippling cuts but the greek finance minister has said the nation it can wait one more month for rescue. reports from austerity capital things. here almost impossible to square that the most dramatic side of this economic crisis in greece has been played out as time and again we've seen people
11:07 am
turning up outside the parliament building to protest against the seville stares the measures that they say has to be untenable he find ourselves back in a position where people now are really asking just what's has been achieved by implementing these astaire's the measures the quick government has committed that it won't be able to meet it's tough deficit reduction targets sent to the whole usa really about what the implications of that will be the greek government have also means imagine that thirty thousand civil servants tell me a little may never touch in the salary for a year well be at the end of the year the possibility of dismissal they're overweight and the police won't even get that. and hearing needed if the country wants to stay and play detroit quote it to care in the culture it may be trying to hammer out the details of that now it has to be said that. the
11:08 am
only shortly you've got money that could. be felt almost immediately would laugh at least at this point it's also about the rest of the usa countries and indeed the global economy that is that this will have a separate knock on the fact that people are really asking now whether the euro is 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 t. here and often say said that we've seen these job losses we've seen because it wages and pensions 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 selfless touched a solution to plug the big deficit in the budget so there are concerns really about the practicalities of any of these measures having. any effect will also talk about the possibility of default and as we said there's a lot of public anger at the people here he feels that their lives are being put in
11:09 am
a situation that is simply untenable that they can't live with they gave me more that stakeout or that we see so much of a last year was happening against my big concerns really about where they you know if they needed it thanks be able to pull the country out of the situation. are you surf warning of mouth and swallow despite the ongoing rumors of a euro or finance ministers have rejected the possibility of a greece what the four of those loans but investment advisor patrick young says i think needs to just leave the single currency if indeed it wants to save its own accord. the european union are trying to cheat 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 call for the sovereignty of greece the european union is too slow in case there's too little leadership and there is a pig headed incremental germs particularly amongst the finance ministers but this specially amongst the leaders of the european union asians in terms of
11:10 am
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 contingent that is going to kill the mural by the end of the year if we don't see positive and rapid action realistically but action means that greece needs to leave the euro because the problem is we cannot leave citizens of b. european union just starve to death because it suits a troika of international lenders. when the world leaders are looking for a specific way to tackle the world's financial troubles some economists say the problem lies deep inside the global structure now we spoke to a senior social a g scholar at yale university emmanuel wallerstein who think that the modern financial system is actually reaching its natural demise. modern capitalism has in my view but that's
11:11 am
a long story reach the end of its rope and it cannot survive as a system we are seeing is the structural crisis of the system its roots are in many ways the impossibility of continuing the basic principle of confort lism which is. ceaseless accumulation of. gotz 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 undone itself as all systems do it's extremely dangerous to you and to me it's a system in which everything is relatively in 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. then that's basically what we're seeing in the world economy right now
11:12 am
there's a. nobody's investing really and if you don't invest that makes the situation even worse but people don't feel they don't much choice they're right they don't have too much choice the options are are few. and you can watch the interview in full in just over an hour's time here on still ahead for you. a colossal cost of high fashion one of the world's leading producers islam for allegedly using child labor to harvest the profitable crunk.
