5:06 pm
will. be sure to bring peace and stability to the world. but you. don't leave after. anger about the afghan wars mounting in the u.k. too which has the second largest number of troops deployed in the country hundreds of british soldiers have been killed since the conflict began and the war activists celebrities and politicians gathered in london protesting over a decade of war is over bennett reports from the capital. this huge protest in the center in the center of london and magic rule sentiment in the public imagination here in britain is nearly full from people very angry very that we're there in the first place obviously the period of time of the cuts people sterling has risen through all this money in n.z. . being pumped into a seemingly unwinnable war hundred million is a major development n.g.o.s are saying is no reaching it's the right people is.
5:07 pm
going to really have a margin effect on sound crews that are being killed. us universities around you see thousand other people i mean you know in the in this case. the billions insurgence to. talk more about this is a high profile activists lauren booth is journalist act with thanks very much to for speaking to r.t. so why is the government still in print still in this unwinnable war believe we've committed ten years of troops and political narrative to oppressing some of the poorest people on the planet it would be like rewriting a whole novel this government cannot go down and having you and then take us out by saying actually we were wrong we had three hundred eighty soldiers die and tens of thousands of afghanis die by the troops led by america it's impossible for the government to extract themselves easily from this unfortunate apart from the course
5:08 pm
of human life and obviously the massive financial cost of this done for britain's image on the international stage to say well it's not over the financial cost because eighteen billion eight hundred billion pounds sterling in the last ten years is what it spends and the coverage government is asking people here it's a pay cut to the to say if you work in civic life you won't have any pensions and so that's unacceptable that's full of principles you the government consecutively of insects the government still refuse to accept that their actions in afghanistan and in iraq and around the will. affect how people see us and yet seven seven the bombings here in london the bombers say it was a direct response to the murders in afghanistan. so it's known as a terrorist state and frankly our government should be no. people rallied in the center of london today demanding an end not only to the afghan war but also to the ongoing intervention in libya we spoke to one of the high profile speakers there wiki leaks founder julian assange about the military interventions and the libyan
5:09 pm
conflict in particular. lesson for libya is the. only superpower in the world we're speaking by one those are the united states and these two superpowers have gotten together to take over the country regional justification for a no fly zone over libya has been completely abuse which shows that there is no effective. night in nations it's going to. be a lesson to us every time that a small mandate is given. military and intelligence. it is a slippery slope that leads to the takeover of countries understand. we want to live here are self revolutionary forces launch one of the biggest assaults yet to moammar gadhafi is hometown of sirte they've already seized a major highway there that opens the way to attacking a key base of the colonel's loyalists the interim government claims now to control
5:10 pm
most of the city but is still facing face resistance from fighters loyal to be ousted leader libya's interim administration say since fall is crucial to formally declaring the ration shed using elections but german from a stop we're coalition folder say by shelling that reason i think demonstrates a very selective approach to protecting civilians. the whole idea of he told me was that it was meant to protect the civilians in banco think about how why does he want anybody inside up to the idea that he would mean killing civilians in another city or town in there and that's exactly what's happening many times very selective about what civilians it supports it doesn't support those civilians who might oppose it but it's a great cause supposedly want and of course we know you want this hollow voice of power. wants to get rid of gadhafi if they could place to stop this happens in
5:11 pm

5:12 pm
economy the protesters reverend sisters the greed of just one percent of the u.s. population of drove the country in the financial crisis in the first place and despite being branded as an accused by many those companies. are well organized and they say the product. of a situation of fact that. these are. people you know. used to being anarchists and disorganized people occupy wall street encampment is far from chaotic it is served up like a small village broken up into themed sections better organized than i thought it would be. they really have it set up said it there isn't a clear leader. organization the way that it's being but at the same. every part seems to be handled by supplying the medical area staffed by volunteers provides on the spot assistance comfort areas supply sweaters and gets to keep
5:13 pm
demonstrators warm as the season gets chilly or what. they don't need it sleeping bags pileup as the number of protesters grows bigger we just heard the chinatown bus if you're from richmond virginia. the 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 going to breakfast food grade cereal we have lunch and we have snacks to continually throughout the day because your dinner at seven thirty a media center has been broadcasting a live stream from day one of the protests for already three weeks videos film during clashes with police are posted online from these laptops you've got people company running in here i mean panicky you know adrenaline rush with cameras i got footage i got footage you know processing footage getting it online and simultaneously having people tweet you know on facebook when our social media using social media and to get it out get the message out of what's happening as quick as

5:15 pm
need to be consensus on by everyone here all of the many cooks in this. kitchen are here to cook up one thing a revolution of change in america once they see churkin or artsy new york. we've got more reaction from the streets of new york to in this week's edition of the resin or health and assassins a wall street campaign is that they think they will win their fight against corporate. i'm here. this week let's talk about that i think will really protesting is you know the failure of this in to respond to you know a kind of higher calling for you know our country you know we can be subjected to. you know one percent of the one percent those are the real bad guys you know who make over five million ten million dollars a year for doing that well i do feel that the country is in a very serious serious situation a party just the united states or is it
5:16 pm
a global issue it's a global issue but the united states says at the center of all of the most important issues right now that we're getting pieces that are from spain to money funds repeat that spain we have people feel like i just saw in one of these it really is a little over to the other door. for i mean very high priced that are well the down by one percent of the population if you're going to be that wealthy you should have to pay a tax to be that wealthy on the fair do you think that's going to happen through movements like this you know now it's bad we're out here trying during the sixty's there were riots in newark and l.a. because of poverty inequality racism is at present i mean people rioting in their old cities down as soon as that happened within a year there were all kinds of government programs to help people out because they got people really afraid that was going to spread all over the country we're trying to make sure that doesn't happen by having up he's full revolution of some justice
5:17 pm
