2:02 pm
that were there as you can see in the video started swinging but taunts at the protesters and also using pepper spray against all those that were closest to the police officers clearly i know there are clash taking place as occupy wall street demonstrations have entered its third week no this was the pinnacle of the of the largest demonstration that has taken place thus far between ten and twenty thousand people were down in the world manhattan to come out to speak out and support the activists of occupy wall street we saw more than thirty different unions we saw transportation workers nurses teachers students not only in new york city but throughout the country walked out of school to take part in these demonstrations and what these people are saying is that they are sick of corporations and financial institutions and the u.s.
2:03 pm
politicians working hand in hand while the majority of americans are suffering under an economic crisis they don't like the way that corporations are influencing politics and they believe that their elected officials need to begin working for all americans not just the richest once they're not just taking place in new york we've seen them in boston l.a. chicago they are spreading and there is clearly a sign because u.s. president barack obama held a press conference at the white house and he addressed this issue this growing movement straight on it's a movement that he cannot even ignore he said that the u.s. economy needs the financial institutions to help the economy grow he did criticize the republican led congress for not imposing more regulations but he did speak directly to the frustrations of americans here's what he had to say i think people are frustrated. you know that the protesters or.
2:04 pm
giving voice to a more broad based frustration about our financial system works this is not just about the financial systems this is about as i mentioned corporate influence over u.s. politics and this includes us president obama himself when i spoke to many of the demonstrators out on the street these cited the campaign contributions that thinks he made to president obama when he was a kennedy in two thousand and eight goldman sachs contributed one million dollars more than that j.p. morgan chase contributed to obama who are the eight hundred thousand dollars to his campaign we should mention in two thousand and ten j.p. morgan chase made seventeen point four billion dollars in profits and need no taxes these demonstrators out on the streets know their numbers they have done their research they see how the campaign contributions. and the corporate rewards
2:05 pm
are going hand in hand they know their numbers and they are holding everyone accountable and that includes the u.s. president so he needs to sort of at least pay attention to what they're saying because the the frustration is not solely to the financial institutions. corresponding to new york they were a bit earlier i spoke to former wall street executive richard he told me your movements quickly go to remove. for a political protest movement that's so young it's not much more than two weeks old it's grown and gathered a surprising amount of support from surprising quarters in a very very short time for example you have several very major unions joining up with this group that's primarily young people and saying we're on the same side we support them they support guys we're going to help them any way we can so this to have that kind of. working people's groups like unions expressing such

solidarity with the student led movement so early in the process it really fascinating development and rather impressive actually i think what they're doing is reasserting a set of values if you think of it as the early stage of a movement where it's the clarity it's fundamental values and principles then i think it's actually although it's probably intuitive or accidental it's actually pretty smart of them not to get pinned down in saying we want a financial transactions tax or we want a blue ribbon investigation of wall street crime there really and this is why they've been able i think to start to get some attention thoughts there for wall street executive richard esko giving his take on the protests across the u.s. right now. several people are reported dead to make his clashes between anti-government protesters and security forces in syria human rights groups continue to sound the alarm with multiple arrests and killings but one high profile victim has made an amazing reappearance of his i've

a morgue last month all assertions is now being forced to backtrack on this we will endeavor to be more cautious and phrase things a little bit more nuanced the state broadcaster says the interview to dispel what it labels fabrications by foreign media to serve western interests in stories like this that have been used to prop up calls from the u.s. britain and france the u.n. sanctions to be slapped on syria but their foundations are now looking shakier than ever this footage religiously shows an armed a sad civilians being targeted by gun toting rebels so perhaps not the peaceful opposition they're often made out to be by the west that only seems to look one way . this notion that the u.n. has is now part of this pro-democracy receipt regime is ridiculous they're jumping on their way again is an opportunity to get created this deceptive appearance while at the same time there's that warning that dictatorships that are aligned with them

and united nations and it's part of em are russia and china vetoed a u.n. resolution for syria seeing through it as a potential cover for another libyan style intervention there may not be any oil this time but there's always an ulterior motive it's importance is as a geo political factor right next to israel a country which obviously america and britain and the other western powers strongly support so that would be the altar into a political motive vetoes of followed by security council walkout from america over remarks during the syrian envoy speech at the u.s. promised to be back with another resolution and undoubtedly more dramatic evidence to drive the point home other than it r.t. london. russia and china vetoed a u.n. resolution on syria over concerns the mandate could pave the way for a libya like intervention moscow says nader's actions in libya haven't saved civilians because more casualties instead concert because
