corporate power in the us is spreading from new york across the country thousands have joined the occupy wall street movement angered by the economic slump as well as the role of big business in it while hundreds of demonstrators have been arrested but artie's an associate sure can have reports america's mainstream media has been largely ignoring the rapidly growing movement. 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 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 fight for change in the west are largely getting annoyed and

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. incarcerated for hours and hours and hours. to do that for good cause therefore 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 more work 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 we three into the camp out either 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 sports drama pretty much anything to serve as a traction rather than the important issue. right now this is a biggie for unnoticed by the corporate 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 you know that's. the only. way to do what 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 mr archie new york well tell us what you think about the wave of protests raging across the us you can cast your vote at r.t. dot com and we're asking who are the occupy wall street activists so far most of

you think they are freedom and democracy fighters just like arab spring activists or the second most popular answer although lacking far behind is that they are victims of police repression and the rest believe their hired crowds are just a bunch of troublemakers where you can share what you think dot com. demonstrators in the u.s. have been voicing their anger over rising joblessness student debt and police brutality professor alex vitale who took part in the new york protests believes that 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. 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 group

that hopefully can break got 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 who are what it's more thing into i think is something more like what's been going on in greece which is of kind of movement against a 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 big cuts cuts in services that wall street continued to enjoy all kinds of tax breaks and giant bonuses greece has once again been left hanging at this time until mid november here's a ministers have pushed back into session on having over more bailout cash all options has admitted it won't be deficit deadlines despite crippling cuts but the

greek finance minister has said the nation can wait another month for a rescue party sarah for at the ports from the astaire to capital athens has been here all the thin pad with the military math excited that the economic quite distinctly has played out it's time and again we've seen people turning up outside the parliament building to protest against the severe austerity measures they say they instead of will be find ourselves back in a position where people now of really just waltz has been achieved by saying these are just a quick government has to make that it. to be able to me is tough deficit reduction targets sent to the whole usa 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 level meaning the dutch in in the salary for a year. at the end of the year the possibility of dismissal there are a great place where do you think that. really in your own needed is the

country to stay late to treat 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. bad for greece at this point is also bad for the rest of the eurozone countries and indeed the global economy that is is that it this would have a separate. 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 to hear nothing say said that we've seen these job losses we've seen the cuts 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 subtlest touch they solution to plug that 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 quick default sake and as we said still a lot of public anger at the people here he feel that their lives are being put in a situation that is simply untenable that they called live with so we can see more of that strike action that we've seen so much over the last year or so happening against my big concerns really about whether a year its own leaders are going to be able to pull the country out of the situation was now get more of a. full of baguettes is a professor of economics and author of the book the tragedy of the euro this are vaga so euro zone leaders seem we're very keen to keep greece in the currency union to keep the euro going but why do you think they keep a spawning vital bailout cash and is there a longer term purpose to it. when they just want to. just short your kind of course but it is you that look forward to the next election

want to keep it keep it going they have very much. industry and also the banking industry but they don't need. a long term solution besides if central european governments. even though they're strong this is what you say you say they want to keep it going but is it isn't it counterproductive by not giving bailout cash to greece when it needs that if they want to keep it going yes yes but this is like it should. the one who blinks first you are says you have to do this austerity measures otherwise you don't get the money that. we're doing this already so we think there's enough you should give us the money and the greek government nor so of course. you want them to give the money to keep them.

from a threat to me yelling that you want to do ok will greece was saying earlier that it can only afford to pay its bills until october but now apparently it can do so until mid november i can it possibly stretch its cash even longer how likely is a default then well. who who is going to believe in greek statistics anymore my. just broken on through november the thing is they are still running huge deficits so sooner or later they were run out of money because they are not british if you think that at this at all it's still at eight point five percent which is just you should say incredible. ok i went away you know in the financial crisis if we can remember one of the words that kept floating around was the word contagion right now how much fear is there in spain that the greek troubles are going to spread to that country well of course of course there's fear of greece defaults. in there and you know big rain.

if there were starts to question of spain we were going to do the same. so there's is the risk of. this also just. italy. ok what are your views on cots i mean no spain has also been going through this in greece very for her for its part has been piling a certain measures upon a sturdy measures are cots really the way forward. yes years of support if you spend if you spend more like if you know it for your own house or if you're spent more than your amp income where one is to increase. your income i am i'm not in favor there's the bus i think that actually. show the private sector we need private initiative to get it to go for economy growth so the other way tory knows spending. more are also your property according to some sources

when government has property of three hundred billion euros so if they sell or island and the acropolis and so on they might. much again reduce the. whole thank you very much i mr fell a bag is a professor of economics and author of the book the tragedy of the euro thanks very much. well as still have for you this hour the colazal cost of high fashion one of the world's leading cotton producers of slang for allegedly using shall believe or harvest a profitable for. a living as a new rulers have named a new cabinet to govern the country until it's fully secured the national transitional council now controls most of the country but there are still pockets of heavy resistance after a two day ceasefire to allow residents to leave and to get off the troops continue with attacks on his besieged hometown of sirte the red cross is warning of

thirteen percent of its value against the u.s. dollar this autumn talk more on this i'm joined by andy did a good head of research at forex club russia they thank you so much for being with us today so another twenty seven copecks the rouble is lost versus the dollar today why is it falling so quickly this is sort of panic on our markets and because the situation in world economy is quite alarming saw investors are fleeing emerging markets and all saw a situation political situation is quite tense in russia and investor are thinking about what will happen in december after parliamentary elections and are preparing for presidential elections as well but of course the main signal was the falling price of crude. and yes the demand from dimensional three man remain quite strong average price for urals was one hundred eleven dollars per barrel is quite comfortable level for russian economy but still it seems that russian

banks and corporate sector are buying dollars in order to pay off debt obligations they have to pay till the end of the year more than twenty billion dollars i will mention the oil price busy of course a very important factor in the ruble dollar exchange rate forming what do you think is the lowest kind of benchmark level of crude oil for the ruble to the day that. brant was rated to test a level of one hundred dollars per barrel it actually would below one hundred years or even so but still we believe that every prize of oil next year will be more than one hundred ten dollars there are a brant it me. world economy should recover and consumption should grow to davis see it sort of panic on international stock markets and also

there are sort of. as everything else from the middle east. but. all all all the signals brew that should grow and it means that. should be my stronger that. according to our calculations the fair price of. twenty seven points for a dollar which is much stronger than it is right now around thirty two point seven well under why do you think the central bank right now is not intervening that much to support the currency i think that central bank will step in the international during. during may be to morrow or the day after to morrow. that they're like bumping. made a proximately four hundred million dollars head day but it's not enough. to support

through both but it seems that the central bank is ready to intervene but about our regulator. also relies on strong fundamentals. which we have heard from the central bank statements like russia needs a more flexible weaker ruble in order to be more competitive with imported goods for example i don't believe that. now regulator is interested in a weaker it seems that our current course so far modernizations proclaimed by our government because. our business they need modern capacities they need to import a lot of aggregates machines and that's why i mean i think that the russian economy is more interest. right now but we have in the past couple of days on the scene some controversial comments made by your colleagues by different traders that even

despite the fact that the market is falling is still an opportunity to make money what would you advise in the current situation which is pretty volatile. a current situation is the bear water tower and nobody knows what will happen to morrow but still i believe that. will be my stronger. in couple of weeks but everything everything is there is dependent on the situation of wall markets all right on the head of research a forest of russia thank you so much for being with you and that's all we have time for in this edition of the business news on our team but we will be back in our fifty five minutes time with plenty more to stay with us.
