money the taxpayers' money is being used to bail out these banks and so they're blaming the bankers who've got us in this situation essaying somehow they're the ones being rewarded earlier i do have have a chance to speak to some of the protesters is what they have to say. we're here because the upper classes in england have completely decorate the lower classes they have made this banking crisis and we're still paying for it students i'm going to be fifty six thousand pounds of my own university education intuition things the slogan that we've got on wall street we are the ninety nine percent echoes in britain as well because we know the bankers and the bosses are getting bailed out by the government and we're being forced to pay the price for that this is not just about the bankers this is about capitalism making coffee globally it doesn't happen overnight but it started. with the police presence today has been massive earlier they were employing a controversial tactic known as cancelling whereby they seal off the protesters
1:03 pm
came the mean using a police cordon. and they say it is a method to just to defuse the situation to try and keep violence to a million however these protesters have been peaceful throughout it was never their intention to be violent and they say that tactic is a controversial one because it merely incites violence it prevents other protesters joining up now they have managed to join up an earlier actually julian assange screen appearance here there are some other high profile protesters here campaigners as well including billy bragg forcibly and julian assange spoke to the to the press who are waiting there he lashed out of the bank saying that. the problem is that these small minority of of the rich are keeping a hiding assets from the population these claiming london as the biggest culprit and clearly a lot of other people share that same view this around a thousand people approach protesting here outside along the london stock exchange . and they're setting up tents camps and there's

1:06 pm
being made because of all the clashes that have had taken place weekend after weekend between police and the peaceful protesters but i've spoken to some people here today they say this is not they don't consider themselves protesters any longer they consider themselves revolutionaries they consider themselves the ones that catapulted a movement here in new york to one that has now spread all over the world people all over the world uniting with one same message and not some. richard equality they want the huge gap between the rich and poor to narrow they want corporate influence over politics not just in the u.s. but all over the world and and this is the message they've been speaking for several weeks out and it's a message that has gone global report now in new york and a lot of the anger about europe's financial meltdown has been centered on brussels the political heart of the e.u. and activists there are determined to make those in power listen and bushel is in the belgian capital. protesters have come here they are turning up at the central
1:07 pm
park in brussels from the european parliament building where they've marched from they want to create here i know it's of paul what they call a people's parliament which doesn't serve the financial elites but the all sources are saying that they actually bans protesters from camping here on the grounds that there is no running water available for them no protests have been saying they're skeptical that this is the real reason they just want to excuse to stop the legal sources are to stop them getting here or not the people here know the reaction has also shocked from the european union itself officially when almost about the significance of the protests a european commission official also how does that concern or so disregarding their concerns and also people have been shocked that the e.u. employment commissioner jokes the protesters should go to frankfurt the home of the european central bank instead of brussels the police reaction is also being called excess if you wrote police on horseback told by
1:08 pm
a group of protesters who were actually voicing one member of the european parliament to join him in the parliament here in brussels for discussions to discuss their concerns and we've been speaking to some of the protesters who have come from different cities politician should speak for the people and not for the bankers i think he's reached if we can start there he should be a really good beginning of something else to. be telling the prince if we. meet again to see if it can just. reach. banks. and. mysteries that. people actually need me like i'm not at the hearing this is an international movement people have marched here some four months treacly get to this because this is considered the heart of the problem the e.u. headquarters if you like people of come from spain. and of course it really isn't
1:09 pm
the truth for us people out here have been have been camping out on the streets of various cities not just in the capital madrid for months in fact when the movement's first began the it's to m movement which took its name from the fifteenth of may when the protests began in spain after their sturdy measures have been implemented people after that have been camping out here for several months i am unfair to them so which is essentially the heart of the spanish capital and people the protesters have actually set out camps here and they were here for months trying to make their voices heard and those voices have been heard by some of the political parties in spain was a little editions have been. have been talking about the issues which there was the protesters have brought up those issues of course our history did measures the lack of employment especially for for the young people in spain of the country has one it's has the highest youth unemployment rate in europe it's over forty five percent so those young and educated people are the ones who are taking to the streets in
1:10 pm
protest of what's happening in the world and some people world over have been saying that in fact the movement occupy wall street actually may have been inspired by what has been happening in this space over the last couple months and it wasn't just in one city that movement has to take it over several cities it has spread over to the neighboring portugal and even to italy a country where the protest movement hasn't really been so significant we haven't heard about it on the news until probably today when hundreds of thousands of people literally there have been reports that a hundred thousand people have turned out to the streets of rome and the protests took a violent term you people have been throwing paper bombs and they have been violently dispersed by police from what we're hearing police have used water cannons tear gas in order to gets to get protesters off the street but that hasn't been that easy because people have actually taken to the ministry of defense in the italian capital they have been attacking those various shops and. building's.
1:11 pm
going rock setting cars on fire we're still waiting for anything like that to happen in madrid we're hoping that things are going to be peaceful but just now actually right police vehicles have started to move into the side where protesters will be converging in about a couple hours and of course we'll bring your old pictures and all the information concerning the latest out protest movements in europe as soon as we get them. so as the occupy movement goes global let's try and track what's going on and where at the moment people in almost a thousand cities and eighty two countries from asia and the americas to africa and europe united in protests in germany thousands marched through frankfurt to the headquarters of the european central bank while all those joint demonstrations in munich in cologne crowds in athens raised against the bank of finances and politicians the queues of ruining their economy and millions the poverty and hardship from the greed in hong kong people gathered in the financial district

1:13 pm
told the news this hour at twelve minutes past the hour hand in russian capital after several months of anti regime demonstrations and over three thousand killed in crackdowns the un has warned that syria is heading for a full blown civil war and with rumors of army defectors joining the opposition the gap between the two sides in the conflict appears to be widening as artie's tense or city 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 calmness the coffee in the country goes on between the government and its supporters and the opposition now what it one thing is clear though when we try to approach people here and bring up the issue of the cause they could almost always turns into a heated debate a very emotional discussion depending on the stand that they take through those sheet music with syria i see the pullmans not all positions we don't know who they are yet syria's undershirt through storms but we will not give up. in the hood that
1:14 pm
will cause the opposition comes down to be rational and go into a dialogue with the regime i was the government position and be more open minded and. 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 gangs they think 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 understand it was decided five days of fighting between security forces and anti-government protesters and we felt the tension there there were still a lot of armed forces according to of course again the government they said that they were fighting against armed on groups were trying to create trouble for the locals there and according to some activists they are saying that these are not armed groups that these were peaceful protesters as well as army defectors with a strong army and a defecting defector contingent in all just on it's very difficult to verify these
1:15 pm
would be exactly what happened in this city because people are very hesitant to talk again there is still a lot of military the army still in that city of 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 sides 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 that 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 matter even if a multi-party system is introduced without repealing this article it won't change anything but again that depends on the dialogue that both sides are going to have to take and full size pro and anti government sides always say at the end of the
1:16 pm
day it's not what is said it's this is series of both sides in doing what they say it will do so it's down to the action in the next few months. down here in moscow president dmitri medvedev has addressed his supporters telling them russia's course of modernization will continue is preparing to take over as head of the ruling united russia party for december's parliamentary elections catherine a quick listen. these knitting 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 the hads of such companies as gondek school cover 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 until printers was actually the first of to admit from the bed if announced at the united russia party congress that he would not be running for a second presidential term so in
1:17 pm
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 job. i don't want to underestimate my own potential which is not usually been realistically actually i can frustrate the hopes of millions of people who brought me to power and you voted for me. as well as those people who believed in the need for the country's modernization of our economies modernization and our societies musician but you feel that i'm responsible for years and i've taken a decision to stay and to continue my work and the willing parties strategical on with me from a better as it's new leader aides to show that the country would want to reduce its direct presence in front of me would want to would use. state shares and promote independent professionals to the board of directors of state owned companies.
