fury over 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 and the role of big business and its objects of demonstrators have been arrested but artie's an associate churkin of 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 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. incarcerated for always and always knows. 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 it's. you know it's bringing more working with 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. or 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 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 with 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 just as r.t. new york well demonstrators in the u.s. have been voicing their anger over rising joblessness student debt and police brutality political analyst and former intelligence officer robert david steele

things they're united by a will for electoral reform and could even bring about a revolution. these are not stupid people they're very smart and they understand that at root this is about corruption and government and corruption on wall street and until you have electoral reform you cannot restore the integrity of the u.s. government was so yes there is a common cause but it's a bottom up movement and so that common cause is being voiced in many different ways i think the united states right now is much more desperate to 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 and on less government three stores its own integrity and start paying attention of the public interest rather than to the special interests i believe that we will have

a form over evolution initially nonviolent but with the potential to become violent all across the atlantic greece has once again a been left hanging at this time until mid november years of ministers have pushed back a decision on how to go over more bailout cash lothians has admitted it won't meet deficit deadlines despite crippling cuts but the greek finance minister has said the nation could wait another month for a rescue arkansas or for of reports now from the sturdy capital. it's been here on syntagma square that 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 sturdy measures that they say simply untenable we find ourselves back in a position where people now are really asking just won't has been achieved by implementing these astaire's the measures to quit government has committed that it

won't be able to me as tough deficit reduction targets not 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. that'll mean of the dutch in in the salary for you. at the end of the year the possibility of dismissal there are great points won't even get back next. year and we 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 at this stage it will be only should 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 is that it this would have a separate not along the sides but 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 the job losses we've seen the cuts in wages and intentions that 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 base solution to plug the 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 default sake 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't 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 you're its own leaders going to be able to pull the country out of this situation. and still ahead for you this

hour the colossal cost of high fashion one of the world's leading copper producer says allegedly using a child labor harvest a profitable crop. libya's new rulers have banned the 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 well after a two day ceasefire to allow residents to leave off the troops continue attacks on the siege home town of sirte the red cross is warning of a humanitarian crisis as the town runs out of essential supplies here a spokesperson for the organization who visited the region says that the a situation there remains dire. we managed to get in the hospital and spend a few hours to check on the hospital however the security situation did not allow us to move inside the town and see the situation of the civilians we managed to talk to the presented to us of the civilians to understand the situation they talk

about lack of food lack of for sure there is no electricity there is a lack of fuel in the city and there is very difficult access to medical care and no i've been same time while talking to families going out of the city of sirte i have been on the eastern side where i've talked to families displaced to desert out on third or to villages like what i want and other surrounding villages and my colleagues from the west as well are looking at the internally displaced families these people as well are living in difficult conditions because they are they are leaving just. houses defeat the ongoing fighting in the city of sirte and they are being displaced into the desert. leaving in high difficult conditions and having no access to medical care and no potable water we have been calling upon all parties to the conflict as much as possible to civilian people and to always distinguish between military and civilian targets now the top u.s. commander in afghanistan has promised american forces will stay in the region for

a long time twenty fourteen was set us the deadline to withdraw some and ninety thousand troops currently deployed in the country but general john allen said this might not be the end all for more we're now joined live by gerry van dyke a journalist and author who's written extensively on afghanistan and pakistan and himself lived with the mujahideen in the one nine hundred eighty s. and also spent forty five days as a prisoner of the taliban just three years ago ok mr van dyck let's look at general allen's a strategy here he said america's main plan was to to win and be successful in your view how many more years will that take and is there a clear measure of success here. no i don't think there is a clear measure of success and i do think it's going to take at least ten years there are many reasons why the united states and its allies but particular united states will stay in a stand and the first of all is that the war is getting worse or more i.e. da's according to the un that is to say mines have gone off in the last few months and only four more u.s.

soldiers and marines are dying there are more casualties civilian and military than any time in the ten years since foreign forces have been in afghanistan and also the afghan national army and its police forces are not ready to take over you have a twenty four percent desertion rate in the afghan national army now the united states is afraid that if we were to leave as it did in one thousand nine hundred nine after the soviets left by that i mean they quit funding the mujahideen what happened that al qaeda came to the united states does not want more than anything else there are many reasons why they're staying which is why that is why it's hard to understand general allen did say that the reason why clips are staying is since to advise the the afghan security forces you yourself think that they are now ready to do it themselves but is there yet is this a euphemism of sorts or could we take his word for it literally. i think

first of all it's true that the forces are not ready to take over i think you are correct in saying that the euphemism here the united states is letting contracts to american contractors to build up barracks in various air bases around the country and in the in the west perhaps to watch the air flights over iran in mazar e sharif in the north to perhaps watch former soviet central asian republics in kandahar in the southeast perhaps watch pakistan the united states does not have any intention i do not believe to leave in the short term there are many who feel that they have to surround. iran perhaps soft containment of china you had just this last june in the shanghai cooperative organization to which russia china and the former soviet central republics in asia are signatories said that they want a neutral afghanistan that is code for they do not want the united states to stay in afghanistan nato and its allies i don't think are ready to leave this very

volatile region united states does not want pakistan to try and make afghanistan a satellite it's a very complicated very dangerous area and i do think that u.s. forces will be there for a very long time you do know the country yeah from the inside and just recently insurgents attacked the u.s. embassy in kabul what message do you think they're trying to send with such attacks . not only are they so have they attacked the u.s. embassy which of course is without a doubt the most secure area in the in the entire country they also attacked in recent months the intercontinental hotel one of the icons of american if you will heritage in afghanistan as well as they attacked. the you know on the anniversary of the if you will the british departure from afghanistan in the anniversary of afghan independence the british consul in afghanistan in april so they want to show

very clearly that they are very much aware of the history of afghanistan that they can. penetrate the american city called the ring of steel around kabul and that there is no place in afghanistan where they cannot go and now we've had the president president karzai brother was killed the most important military leader in the north or policeman in the north was killed and we had the recent assassination of bernama dean rabbani who is a former president of afghanistan which means in the eyes of every afghan the americans and their allies are not succeeding the place is dangerously low and if i can jump. i mean yes having said all that it has been some of somewhat of a success after all some a bit modern is dead and that was the goal going into this wasn't it. that was our original goal correct but he was in pakistan wasn't he and he was perhaps

very closely allied or at least protected by some parts of the afghan made the pakistani military political establishment afghanistan is the key here the united states does not want as i mentioned earlier pakistan to once again as it did under the taliban have afghanistan as a satellite it wants to assure more than anything else that it does not again not again become a harbor for for what they call terrorists it took ten years for them as i'm repeating myself but i think it's critical to note to capture they have not captured. or any people or the new al qaeda leadership i don't think by any means even though a great number of children are going to school now there are paved roads throughout the country but just as the former or the present russian ambassador said when we were there in the one nine hundred eighty s. we build made even during the height of the war we built major infrastructure we had projects there there is a large silo in kabul he talked about where they made bread and you can see that

silo today what the allies have not done thus far although they are trying is create something grander a dam a major factory something something to show that they have really maintained or they have created a successful environment they will intimidate the taliban hi thanks very much for your insight and i will russia jere van dyken journalist and author talking to us live there thanks very much. now the former soviet republic of his back astonished one of the world's leading cotton exporters and while the government cashes sand of the country's most vulnerable are. paying the price as art is it got there in a garage over reports human rights groups say the cotton industry is thriving on illegal child labor. such is the fear in the eyes of these children the thing they were picking opium not cotton that i thought i got out. of the. madness. of madness than i do you sent us there.

meanwhile on the other side of the world the produce harvested with illegal child labor is enjoying the glare of flushing cameras will not occur the mother daughter of those bent president is presenting her new collection of forbes magazine pointers on how she's managed to be so commercially successful i graduated from harvard. so it's a really good score you know in terms of you know giving you good grades the tools of his back you stone our children as young as seven to work an average of seventy hours a week instead of going to school and an education is not the only thing they're missing out on with no heating proper bats were drinking water i did to be mothers are powerless some of them stood up for their kids protection they were

arrested taken to cotton fields they would be forced to work in the day and would be mass raped at night. with a helpful force child labor was based on produces around one million tons of cotton enough to make one billion t. shirts the cortinas sold abroad except to the sixty plus retailers including why and they tend. not to buy those but cotton because the harvest is so abusive there's one quote sends a message to those government that enslaving children is not shake but good not occur. the move was also as bacchus townsend bassa did to the un and the deputy foreign minister refutes the claims and she was also outraged when new york fashion week banned her collection from the catwalks two weeks ago but human rights groups applauded. it was a terrible message for the fashion industry to be sending that they would lend

a high profile platform to the senior official of one of the world's most repressive governments the government about six years ago engaged in the disproportionate use of force against mostly peaceful protesters in the eastern city of andijon and the jan is the bloodiest chapter in president islam karimov stew decades in office in two thousand and five is forces opened fire on an anti-government demonstration killing five thousand people or other so-called dissidents jail sentences are common behind you spent three years in prison for speaking out after his prosperous business was taken over by the president's people because. he removes family is an organized criminal mob in all sectors of the economy profitable businesses are under his control if you go to wiki leaks you'll see that the u.s. ambassador calls karim and murphy a princess but all this will stay just words while the war continues in afghanistan

of china has slammed the u.s. senate debate on ways to punish beijing for undervaluing its currency and taking away american jobs well it will allow the government to impose duties on products from countries with specific currencies will try to stall the u.s. to abandon protectionism and stop politicizing economic issues we could talk to george who founder of international strategic alliance is a company that helps the cooperation of international firms mr coo are we going to see any action from china following its angry rhetoric. i don't think there will be any specific retaliatory action until the us actually turns the senate resolution into into something with teeth and from what i read this morning it's unlikely to proceed sense the house speaker is skeptical that such and such a resolution would solve any problems and he's absolutely right in this regard

right and even the ad business community even the american business community don't see how this would benefit them and you're saying it's a it's not likely to push forward and then why even bring it up in a politically well it's a it's a it's it's grandstanding on the part of some of the senators well known for their anti china or the china bashing position and i think they're seeking to gain political capital by making such a movement and attempting to distract the american public from the real issues at hand which is solving the debt crisis and balancing the budget and strengthen the dollar you know to talk about just just give you a sense of the hypotheses involved in this play in china was initially accused of. manipulating the currency it was considered to be forty percent undervalued and at that point the exchange rate was eight point three to one sense that china has

taken the remaining be off the peg and has been gradually appreciating so that now it's about six point three to one for nearly thirty percent appreciation but if you listen to that the distinguished members of the senate china still undervalue its currency by forty percent so how do you what do you conclude from this i think one would conclude that in addition to manipulating public. which is what. it's trying to do is it's not a deliberate manipulation on china's part it's a deliberate weakening of the us dollar on the us part and that's why the dollar is computer we can yeah let's just i would like to ask you a quick comment on what china had said china says the u.s. moves seriously violates the rules of the world trade organization and it obstructs china u.s. trade ties i mean is it really against many

a bill like this for example it only allows a possibility of imposing barriers sput it doesn't actually do it so is it against just very briefly what i think that. will actually take place only if certain. trade actions and terry start. as a result but. so until that has taken place i'm not sure that you know it may be in violation of the spirit of this ok thanks very much george clooney founder of the international strategic alliance is a company that helps cooperation of international firms thanks for that well. well later on the program our teams financial gurus talk about bailouts defaults and the currency wars terrorizing europe but first all the latest business with dmitri. welcome to choose the final business update on our two turmoil the stock markets
