worldwide news of live from the heart of moscow this is artsy with me solution we've had enough that's the message being sent from many around the world to big business and government as people in almost a thousand cities take their anger to the streets and the occupy movement which began in new york is now demanding global change and that's now is zero in on two of the rallying cities and told our correspondent parties i've been in london daniel a bushel in brussels hello to you both i bow to you first london so violence and disorder on the streets just a few months ago any concern about some sort of repeat. there was no violence here just yet and there's none planned from the protesters but of course that could always flare up with the police using the tactics they are they just started kettling protestors here which means they're containing them in

a small area and that has been a controversial tactic in protests in the last twelve months or so which has seen violence flare up but then forget this is a very different thing for the riots we saw across england a lot about two three months ago where is that was an impromptu outburst with an unfocused go this is is quite the opposite it's a peaceful protest and it has a very clear message that is the democratization of the global finance system and they calling for as taxpayers continue to bail out banks they're calling for banking executives to pay back their bonuses now to begin with the this action of occupy the london stock exchange was ridiculed a little bit in the press in the in the last couple of weeks but it's definitely gained momentum with fifteen thousand followers on twitter and facebook for the event and people have been turning out here hundreds holding a thousand probably with huge backpacks full of food tents sleeping bags are clearly they're very serious and they plan to stay here a long time now let's talk more about this i'm joined by one of the organizers

spirit and lean and spirit thanks very much for speaking to are saying now how long are you planning to stay here we're planning to stay as long as it takes to see the government responding to people's calls and see with until we see some change really and what it was happening right now and then you are planning to march to the stock exchange just behind the cathedral behind us we have been stopped for so what's what are you going to do. the square right in front of the london stock exchange is private like everything in the city of london really so the police has now canceled all the protesters just outside some post i think joe and i don't know how we're going to take it further but we're not going we're not going home we're going to stay here and we're going to find a place where we're going to come and to i voice as i heard. we think you're going to change the lead really going to stay here for weeks months even yes i think with yeah i think that's the whole point of ari no one said it's going to be easy but that's what we're going to try to do and what's happening is wall street this has

been very inspiring to people around the world and especially here in the u.k. . has been an example what exactly are you hoping for i mean how do you modeling this only arab spring or what we're modeling this or by we'll see but definitely our spring has been very positive we've seen people around the world standing up we don't expect from the government to represent our interests against the banks anymore. we have to do it ourselves and if we don't do theirselves we're going to keep paying for the banks we're going to and they're going to go away with more profits on the back of taxpayers. and how much support you think you've got for these for these schools. if you think that we started only a couple of weeks ago or a handful of people who started something online and within two weeks we have twelve thousand people. following us and five thousand people confirm that they're attending the event and now as you see we've got a couple of thousand of people who turned out and it's been very inspiring and it

means that the timing was right and. people were looking for something like that something that is something that transcends political affiliations and something that is true democracy grassroots movement. and a global movement first of all spirit and lean and thanks very much for speaking to answer. will continue to bring out days here from london and the protesters trying to take their protest to the london stock exchange at the moment and i'm going able to is private property but he had it there they're not going anywhere until they get what they want all right ivan thanks for that as i said numbers swell in london let's head over to the european political capital and speak daniel a bushel now in brussels i know a lot of anger over europe's financial woes has been centered in brussels at the heart of the e.u. how worried do you think the european lawmakers should be. well there's a target in three key buildings here the european commission the parliament building and also the council particularly angry here because you had one of the

best social systems traditionally very generous retirement conditions also very good unemployment benefits and as one protester here put it the. last money of first time a crisis came and now we're being asked to pay for their mistakes a second time now the reaction of the u. officials has been also making people even angrier when asked about their reaction and the significance of the protests a spokesperson for the european commission said how does that concern us the e.u. employment commissioner joked the protesters should go to frankfurt instead the seat of the european central bank the police reaction has also been excessive one m.e.p. invited around thirty protesters to his parliament's office in the e.u. parliament here and to discuss their concerns but he was blocked by riot police on horseback even though it was obvious that the protesters were peaceful now protest

against the heavy handed security company in charge of. the european parliament around seven protesters were eventually let through to actually discuss the concerns. right. there in brussels of course artie's i bennett live in london we'll be catching up with the guys throughout the day many thanks indeed. for the u.s.o. is where the occupy wall street movement was born a month ago protesters are on saturday planning a mass march on a branch of chase bank to close their accounts followed by a rally at the military recruitment center in times square on friday scuffles broke out between police and activists as hundreds walked through lower manhattan to wall street at least fourteen people arrested the n.y.p.d. meantime started fresh accusations of heavy handedness when the footage of most of my. being hit with a police car and another post protester being punched in the face by follows claims of police brutality last week when officers were seen pepper spraying protesters in

new york and beating them with batons. has met a man who's made it his mission to let the world see what's really going on. from the mass demonstrations of support. to the disturbing images of police force day after day the world has been able to watch occupy wall street in action through global revolution t.v. a life that street documenting the ongoing corporate resistance and civil unrest growing and growing in the big apple it's not about one political party or business that it's actually creating a platform to have this debate without it being manipulated by the powers that be five years ago. was a derivative street or on wall street today the thirty nine year old is among those camped out in zuccotti park protesting against the financial institutions he once

worked for i saw a movie the glee combined with the call is just the combined with the stool the because. the what is it was the the saga world economy co-founded i launched global t.v. news leaks ago we're going to bring people into explain what's going on with the occupation movement began in new york we'll see these people how to soothe video you need to be edited just and how to make it go viral and the whole idea is that you creating it's a genius record in the with this now that the movement has exploded worldwide the web channel will be broadcasting live streams for more than seventy countries and six hundred cities you can have a team of people that's going to do a thing because they were all the on the square at the right. as we go in figuring out what's happening there and taking this streams of putting up on the globe it was a shadow so this sort of a model for a replacement for c.n.n.

says mainstream media outlets will be able to marginalize the peaceful uprising people from all over the world take to the streets demanding elected leaders begin working for the majority instead of the financial elites it's a worldwide movement it's these principles of equality are going to define everything because we are business feeding the united nations the status quo united nations united people the people of the occupy movement take their first fight with the world's most powerful economic and political force and this is the first criticize and now spreading across the planet more artsy new york. so as the occupy movement goes global it so let's just try and track down now exactly what's going on where people in almost a thousand cities in eighty two countries from asia the americas to africa and europe they're all united in protest thousands of gathered in australia and new

zealand greece italy south korea and hong kong in tokyo protesters took to the streets decrying big business and income inequality as well as directing their anger at nuclear power companies taiwan's capital taipei so people rally outside the city's financial tower which they view as a symbol of corporate greed. but i throughout the day here on our correspondents in europe and the u.s. and all around the world will bring you the latest on the occupy together right to stay with us for our special global coverage. sponsored by growing poverty. by their countries waiting for hours while cutting jobs and social spending people across the globe against their government's economic policies followed a worldwide action against austerity live on party. this is r.t. and to some other news for you this hour after seven months about the regime demonstrations

and over three thousand killed in crackdowns the u.n. has warned that syria is heading for a full blown civil war with rumors of army defectors joining the opposition the gap between the two sides in the conflict appears to be widening as artie's it tells us earlier reports while people in the capital are calling for dialogue other parts of the country are demanding an end to the rule of president assad. well here in the center of the syrian capital it is very quiet today it's a day off for most people but of course beneath that calm as the conflict in the country goes on between the government and its supporters and the opposition now what it one thing is clear that when we try to approach people here and bring up the issue of the cause they could almost always carries him to a heated debate a very emotional discussion depending on the stand that they take who knows and she took me seriously i see the good points not all positions we don't know who they are yet syria is under attack for it but we will not give up in the in the hard

dimock i was the opposition comes down be rational and go into a dialogue with the regime i was the government the opposition and be more open minded. but again we are going to mass the opinion we hear most here is that people are asking who is the opposition who is causing this instability and many of them bring up the words armed gang state they did it these are just people who want to destabilize the country of course this is a position that the government had taken from the very beginning of the conflict but it is a different story when you go outside of the capital we went to the city of other star and it was a sight to five days of fighting between security forces and anti-government protesters and we felt the tension there there were so a lot of armed forces according to of course again the government they said that they were fighting against armed groups that were trying to create trouble for the locals there but according to some activists said they are saying that these are not armed groups that these were peaceful protesters as well as army defectors with a strong army defecting the factor contingent in all just on it's very difficult to

verify of these the exactly what happened in this city because people are very hesitant to talk and get there is still a lot of military the army still in that city are but that is what's happening on the ground it's not very clear it's hard to get the truth on each matter but on a political level though president bashar al assad has said that he will set up a constitutional committee within the next couple of days to debate with the opposition various the size of the opposition. constitutional reform. dialogue should have a program and a timeline we must clearly understand what kind of results we want to achieve now one of the sticking points of the constitutional reform is article eight which states that the ruling baath party is the leader of the state and the opposition says that this no matter even if a multi-party system is introduced without repealing this article it won't change anything but again on the dialogue all sides are going to take in full size zero and see the government's the size always say at the end of the day it's not what is

said it's this is sarah the both sides in doing what they say they will do so it's down to the action in the next few months. reporting right that our quarter past the hour here in moscow president dmitri medvedev addressed his supporters telling them that russia has course of modernization and will continue for pairing to take over as head of the ruling united russia party for december's parliamentary elections. over. this meeting could be described as an informal gathering of the president with what he describes as his supporters and those ranged from musicians and bloggers to he has of such companies as ganda all right representatives from oil and gas companies those who support change supports me this was the key message of the president and the change according to dmitry medvedev is modernisation these informal meeting with journalists and interpret nurse was actually the first to admit from a very pronounced at the united russia party congress that he would not be running

for a second presidential term so in a way it was the place and the time to cross the t.'s and dot the i's so why would a politician whose popularity ratings with the voters are still so high give up the country's top. but if you would want to underestimate bio potential because it's not being realized to the full i believe of fiction that's why i can only frustration millions of people who put the power to me. in the hopes of change or meet some of those people who believe in the need for our country's modernization our economies modernization our societies modernization of life feel that i'm responsible for it most of us are shaping a decision to stay politics and to continue my work and the willing part is to take a call on with me from the bed as its new leader aims to show that the country
