it's just after ten pm here in the russian capital you're watching now our top story fury over corporate power in the u.s. is spreading from new york across the country thousands of joy the occupy wall street movement angered by the economic slump and the role of big business and its hundreds of demonstrators have been arrested but as art is an associate you're going to 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
2:02 pm
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 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 locked in incarcerated for what i was and i was and i was with a willing to do that for a good cause of 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 it's hoping our. you know it's bringing more and more people with some have
2:03 pm
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 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 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 its traction rather than the important issue. right now this is a big report unnoticed 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's. the only billable way to do what i do the occupy wall street movement promises to grow in the months to come and
2:04 pm
history shows that the voice of the people can't be neglected forever and the r.t.e. new york. let's now talk to robert david steele political analyst and former intelligence officer mr steele the i'll keep my wall street protesters they've raised everything from lack of jobs to global warming is there a common the cause uniting the activists. there actually is and if you look at the day of rage page it's electoral reform these are not stupid people they're very smart and they understand that at root this is about corruption in government and corruption on wall street and until you have electoral reform you cannot restore the integrity of the u.s. government so yes there is a common cause but it's a bottom up meant and so that common cause is being voiced in many different ways all right and you mentioned electoral reform is that what they want to achieve and can the demonstrations that chavis say her opinion. i can't speak for them. i am
2:05 pm
driving up to new york on thursday and we are having a meeting and they are adopting or i hope they will adopt the nine point. four and program that ralph nader jim turner christine told and myself and several others have put together. my objective on thursday is to get the group as a whole to consider demanding electoral reform legislation by the fourth of july twenty twelve's or go on general strike if not what do you think will happen if our answer no electoral reform has to happen if they don't adopt these ideas winter is coming hitler found winter in russia wall street will have its own winter well i think they're toast by the first of november unless they get their act together ok and will be here us economy has been on a downward spiral profile now and we've also seen congress stalemate. why is this movement coming to prominence now i am not going to speak. it that's an interesting question a because i was actually
2:06 pm
a reagan republican and i did not realize that the downfall of the us economy began in one nine hundred eighty when ronald reagan broke the back of the air traffic control strike he basically ended of the role of labor as a counterbalance to management the united states i think the united states right now is much more desperate than people realize we're at twenty two percent unemployment on our way to thirty percent we are at sixteen percent below the poverty line on our way to thirty percent there is no question in my mind that this is going to be a very dark winter in the united states fall and on less the government re stores its own integrity and starts paying attention of the public interest rather than to the special interests i believe that we will have a swarm of our evolution initially nonviolent but with the potential to become violent yes i wanted to a top. the nature of the protests they did start out peacefully and now at thirty
2:07 pm
we've seen hundreds of arrests seven hundred more than seven hundred on the brooklyn bridge and we are seeing a tempers flare do you think it would become widespread we've seen we've seen sporadic violence will it become widespread well i'm a son of york. i have to say that on the one hand i really admire new york city and what it tries to do but on the other hand it's it's the state police capital of the world. new york arrests more people from now one of than anywhere else on the planet. they can now shoot down airplanes and do all kinds intrusive surveillance i think the new york city police have on the one hand been very well managed and on the other hand have gotten out of control at lower levels if we have a soccer mom herself to death somewhere in here in the country to the streets my personal hope is that a general nonviolent strike will be used to shore city issues like dory shore off

camera thanks very much for their robert david steele political analyst and former intelligence officer thanks again. right well across the atlantic greece has once again been a left hanging this time until mid november euro zone ministers have pushed back a decision on having over more bailout cash while athens has admitted it won't meet deficit deadlines despite crippling cuts but the greek finance minister has said the nation can wait another month for a rescue party sorry for a reports now from the a sturdy capital athens. has been here almost entirely with square that the more 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 this a bill start so much as they say that's that the untenable we find ourselves back in a position where people now are really all staying just wants has been achieved by implementing these are steps he measures the government has committed that it won't

2:10 pm
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've spoken to here in athens they said that we've seen these job losses we've seen the cuts in 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 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 any effect will also talk about the possibility of default and as we said still a lot of public anger at the people here he filled the lives of being put in a situation that is simply untenable that they can live with so we're going to 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 it's a needed again to be able to pull the country out of the situation well despite
