4:06 am
so that there isn't a clear leader in the organization the way that it's being done but at the same guy . every part seems to be handled by someone a medical area staffed by volunteers provides on the spot assistance or comfort area supply sweaters and more and gets to keep demonstrators warm as the season gets chilly or while they don't need it sleeping bags pile off as the number of protesters grows bigger we just heard that china termites appear from richmond virginia. kitchen providing a traditional american breakfast bread bagels and peanut butter and jelly plant foods are used to filter water here we have breakfast at seven thirty in the morning people don't know breakfast foods great cereals we have lunch. we have snacks considering you continually throughout the day have dinner at seven thirty the media center has been broadcasting a live stream from day one of the protests for already three weeks videos film

a few minutes including. i mean thirty. by well down by one breakdown of the population and if you're going to be that well you should have to pay a tax to be that woud be as voices of discontent grow on wall street or he tries to get to the bottom of what the movement is actually fighting for. but first british banks have been dealt another body blow twelve of them had their credit scores cut by rating agency moody's leading firms including lloyds and r.b.s. were downgraded after indications that british government is now less inclined to bail them out again if they get into more trouble because confidence in financials to slump of those with large savings will be courage to move elsewhere in case there's a collapse the bank of england also sees more trouble to come its seventy five billion pounds into britain's teetering economy run leading british economist tells r.t. injecting more cash could cause more harm we already have inflation of around about five percent in the united kingdom which compared to recent years hallie putting
4:10 am
more money in to be a totally risk actually increasing that inflation is supposed to be the bank of england's central key toss to actually keep inflation under control so a whole percent or less consume is that course pretty easily throwing you know suddenly fully billion pounds into the economy is actually a distraction from the u.k. government leads you very aggressive and radical growth strachey's one that i think you lack at the moment what we've got to get away from that you know if you kingdom and actually right across the western world more generally is this. every single bank is comparable to me because if they get into trouble the taxpayer will play all them out and one of the key things that the u.k. government is struggling with is how do we allow our pain to go for the wall want to fail without very much lead to screwing the wider economy and i think that these these downgrades by actually reflect the fact that we are beginning to move away
4:11 am
from what was a hopeless and helpless situation in which basically every bank you that if you crash in the tax payer in the government would come to the right so it's a grim warning but in the same way as you would wish to have an only statoil most is from your doctor about your state of health i think it is a welcome warning. seems there are a few countries as scaping public anger at the prospect of more pain to paying for a national debts let's return to new york to find out whether the occupy wall street campaigners think they'll win their fight against bankers power. i'm here at occupy wall street this week let's talk about that i think what we're really protesting is you know the failure of decisions or respond to you know a kind of higher calling for you know our country you know we can't be subjected to . you know one percent of the one percent there is the real bad guys you know who make over five hundred ten million dollars a year boarding that well i do feel that the country is in
4:12 am

4:13 am
got people really afraid i was going to spread all over the country we're trying to make sure that doesn't happen by having a peaceful revolution of some justice and some some enforcement of the regulations we already have on the books that would be a good start even that's going to happen. i have to believe so yeah i have to be i believe so how is this going to achieve that. with this is just like the genesis of a bigger movements it's been going on for a couple weeks and every day gets larger and larger so. i think eventually it'll bring results i think there's a large amount of discontent with what's going on in this country and i think that this is it makes it so people can identify me like no other people are feeling this way as well so i mean it and this in several point i think that this is this is going to draw attention is also going to draw people in whether or not you agree with the bottom line is these people are getting the word out.
