around the clock around the world this is r.t. live in moscow good to have you with us this hour a global outcry against corporate greed has risen up in almost a thousand cities worldwide people have taken their anger to the streets saying they come taken over by big business the occupy wall street movement began in new york quickly spreading across the u.s. to los angeles denver and washington among others it's global with asia joining in the demands for change in europe to hundreds of cities are taking part in protests one that's now take a closer look at what's happening around the world with correspondents we've got marina portnoy in new york ivan bennett in london daniel bushell in brussels and in madrid and first we go live to marina. it's

a huge turnout on the streets there in new york one of people say to movement it has become so. but as you mentioned this turnout here in new york is the largest that it's been in the past four weeks let's remember it was four weeks ago when the occupy wall street movement started off here in zuccotti park where i'm standing by wall street now what these activists are saying right now is they feel that their movement is purser viri they feel that they are moving forward for his kind of way now that the occupy movement has gone global thousands of people have been in and around lower manhattan are showing their support for the op men are taking part in it all day a lot of thousands as i mentioned in the park where i'm standing there were hundreds that went to chase bank earlier in the day to withdraw their money and close their accounts hundreds if not a thousand have gathered in another area of. washington square park to also

show the sentiments that have been boys voiced by the optimists of the occupy wall street movement in just about an hour ago we received reports that at least twenty people that went into a citibank so close their eyes were arrested by plainclothes police officers inside city today because in speaking to all those that have come out onto the streets today to voice their anger their frustration with the way that the u.s. system is run here is a little bit of what they have to say. i don't have shares in anybody here in congress trade or they do their congress is good and pay for special interests is the ones who control the government vision ones who write legislation right now corporations are kind of running the government by funding political campaigns and those politicians get into office. and of course they're going to do what's in the

corporation's best interest because that's who's funding them and not just giving them money and the people are kind of left in the dust people aren't getting what they deserve people are still struggling they work their full time jobs they work overtime and yet there's people who can't even get an hour a week to work. these are the sentiments that have been a voice i hear by the occupy movement for four weeks now but in the next few hours we are expecting to see thousands gather in times square that is way where they are taking this demonstration they will be focusing also on the amount of money the u.s. has spent overseas odd wars the decisions that are made when it comes to u.s. foreign policy of the decisions that these activists say are the wrong ones the ones that they say are leading the country dr leading common american tried and while the u.s.

leaders of course are they believe are acting in their interests not in the best interests of all americans thanks very much indeed for that live update from new york. so launches in the u.s. peaceful at the moment as we've just been hearing but what about europe on the planet who's alone than what we saw huge public unrest there just a few months ago how are things working where you are at the moment. for the long haul the protests today have been very peaceful but the atmosphere here is just suddenly the last few moments got a lot more tense because the police still in fausta numbers here and you can see the line of police found behind me the protests the kind of behind there the police have been trying to disperse the last few remaining hundred homeschool protesters from the steps in front of the cathedral they say they're trying to disperse and peacefully they set up a cordon around and they're not letting anyone into that cordon bleu wanted people to leave but they did as they started to discuss those people on the on the pay.

even the protesters they didn't want to move they say they have a right to remain on the on the sidewalk there and to carry out their protest peacefully. when they didn't move the. actions did escalate there was a lot of pushing and shoving arrests were made i think and see some of those pictures now a lot of shouting police have brought out dogs as well and and as the crowd chanted shame on you to the police as a temp the atmosphere got a lot more a lot more tense now not quite sure is going to happen now because the what the police want to do is disperse these protests because they say this is private property and i have no right to remain here and as for the protesters earlier today there were reports of almost three thousand people being present here there certainly well over thousands and talking to them in terms of an ache an end goal is their kind of pass a little bit disorganized but these you realize that's not really the point the point of why they're here today is is because it's just to register their anger nass really was galvanizing all of the anger their money taxpayers' money is

continue to be spent on bailing out banks they're angry that the people in charge of those banks are still getting bonuses and they see that as the architects of the economic disaster as it is being rewarded also just generally angry at the way the country's being run and the phrases being continuously used today in terms of a slogan for today's action is we are the ninety nine percent they say they are the they make up the vast majority of this country yet they have no control of how the country think granta they they say this is their chance to try and this is what some of them had to say. ok we're sleeping operators. sleeping bags so you know there was i could secure food that. the longest days possible the slogan that we got on wall street we are the ninety nine percent oppose in britain as well because we know that the bankers and the bosses are getting bailed out by the government and we are being forced to pay the price for the.

speaking to people is really amazing that you can really get a sense that they think they really beginning to have a say here and then something will really change down to the really thing in a heels of people with those tents they're setting up camp here there where they might not be in to spend the night here but they're prepared to go somewhere else because they really think this is the start of something they could change something similar to the occupy wall street as we've heard from reno for no new york and they're prepared to stay for as long as it takes until they have their voice heard kind of thanks very much indeed for that either but my in the europeans have been focusing their rank on the center of the governance and politics and of course is brussels and daniel bushell is there. daniel protesters from around europe where you are does it look like the politicians might take any notice whatsoever of this movement. because the revolutionary mood here the crowds at this

point the cold is getting bigger and it's getting angrier sheltering slogans against the banks and the governments which keep restoring them with public money also to first try to ban this grouping saying there was no running water for them which many stores an excuse to stop me getting together but they have finally given in to the weight of numbers and they now plan to boyd's alternative callable well they're calling which is for the people in the interests of the people and not the financial elites now the latest scandal is the big c.e.o. of one of bill james largest lenders which are has been bailed out just now by the government to the tune estimated over costing five thousand euros per taxpayer along saw it the c.e.o. of that bank being promised for last year a full dose of six hundred thousand euros in practice for practically leading the bank to the brink of collapse you know the people have also been shocked by the u.s. reaction when it was all about the. because of the protest

a spokesperson for the european commission just those who. was. the e.u. employment commissioner just the protests for this to should go to frankfurt instead of brussels frankfurt being the home of the european central bank central to this euro crisis at the moment. the movement people are coming here from all across europe people have actually. boy food for example from the likes of spain to get here seems brussels really is the holts of the e.u. and the problem here thanks indeed daniel bushell and brussels and for you spain we now go to earlier going to show in madrid the capital of a country which has europe's worst unemployment rate with something like a forty percent of young people out of work at the moment and you know it looks like a cell size of the crowd is really building there certainly building up from where we saw you last time. definitely

that is absolutely right about you think here is this if people are really i think they are making their voices heard you have to get to think about the fact that the occupy wall street was with me have spurred protests over the last several weeks plus there are some who believe that those people in new york were actually inspired by the protests which began here in spain in the middle out this year. thousands hundreds of thousands of young people not just in madrid but in cities in towns all across the country but protesting the austerity news measures taken by their government they were protesting against the fact that a lot of people have been left without jobs that a lot of people are forced to move out of their homes and by looks to be these people these people what are on the streets of madrid today they believe that their voices are in fact being heard and they are making a difference in the world let's have a listen to what they had to to stay are aware. of could. do you think he

isn't pushing his time between. understand comment on change and how much and he wants to come out of it that it's kind of like we want a transporter and the result is. the arab spring then the spermicide the american author now will face a global winter. this may sound like quite a big goal but you have to understand that these people who have gathered here they actually have pretty much everything to lose a lot of these people are just twenty five twenty four to thirty five they have gotten their education they have invested money into it they are trying to build a family try to build homes and their robbed of that opportunity because the country spain is in dire situation right now it's been downgraded on an almost weekly basis the economic situation is the incredibly bad and these people care for them it's literally a matter of survival of making a difference of convincing the government not just their own government governments girls over that something has to be done because they really need to see that there

is a future for them and they are going to stay here and they're going to make their demands for it and they are filled with that hope that they can make a difference because they need to continue to fight for something in order to survive in order to make ends meet i mean they're going to go in the grid daniel bushell in brussels on the ballot in london maria portlaw in new york thank you for the moment. well for more on this global movement let's talk. he's a political blogger and joins us live now from the states from los angeles. the aim behind this movement seems to be a call to initiate global change what exactly is that change and how can it be achieved. i think there's two different things are dealing with here one is just the general issue which is one of treating the younger people with fairness and trying to show. with the promises that we feel we have been made by society for

instance your for an early reports the issue of how extensive education is and that's very similar problem what we have in the united states however for each of the protest groups it seems like a specific issue is something different and each country needs to be able to figure out its own solution to the problem of which is that young people have no avenues to advance succeed and to create the lives that our parents' generation you talk about a couple of different issues there but when you look at the campaign as in the messages on their banners it seems that a number of them have different messages and it seems that these disparate this movement with no real coherence and different vagueness perhaps undermine the actual success the potential success of a movement like this you know i actually thought that for a while but over the past few days it seemed to me that that and i actually heard one of the protesters here your what exactly race that we've been here for thirty days our government's been there for a few hundred years give us

a chance to figure it out so i agree that it is an issue but i think that something bad as people will spend more time in the open debating be strong and it will come up with real workable solutions now where there's the the political will to deal with those you know is still a problem but i do think that these people need time to figure out exactly how to solve these problems they're just now becoming aware of oh oh how widespread the anger is how widespread sort of unfairness is so i think that they will come up with back but it's going to take them a little bit of time to get back over what you had on the idea of workable solutions of course in a political response to all of this do you think the big business and government will hope this will just go away or do you think we could see some sort of reaction from them. you know i think they're still hoping it'll go away because old previous movements have but this one feels much more substantial to me it's growing and it's growing you know steadily if quickly and i don't think that you know for instance

in your us maybe try to kick the protesters out of security because they've made it out but protestors resisted and they were allowed to stay and so i think small little steps like that will you know after weeks and maybe months convince these people that the protests search here to stay and that if they want the people to get out their hearts and to get out of the bases they need to provide a more equitable solution and make them so. just briefly the nature of the protests has been namely also i think sorry we just lost the contact can you hear me can hear me yes i hear you have just very briefly and finally the nature of the protests generally have been a peaceful london a festive atmosphere there but of course in spain we've seen the reports of not militants operating and causing significant violence in the capital there and of course we've seen violence in new york is there a danger that this whole movement could actually be hijacked by anarchists i mean

unfortunately there is always that danger and you know it was heartening to read that in rome to protest this actually against people who were committing violence to try to stop it because it is very possible that as with the g eight summit at the start of the g seven summits in the late ninety's there will be it will turn from a you know a concentrated focus protest about a kicker issue to excuse for keep for angry people to release that anger in any physical way are written by a great here we have to say co-founder of the daily banter political blog joining us live there from the states thanks for time thanks very much. so as the occupy movement goes global let's try and track what's going on and where at the moment people in almost one hundred countries from asia and americas to africa and europe are united in protests at the moment dozens were injured in rome as we've just been talking about as italian police used tear gas and water cannons to disperse crowds protestors smash up windows torch cars and hold bottles as the demo against corporate greed and austerity measures turned violent

a defense ministry building was also set ablaze plumes of smoke was seen billowing the other coliseum and other parts of the city center and burning and police clashed with protesters after they tried to break through security barriers surrounding the parliament a couple inches away as police try to restore order in athens raged against the bankers finances and politicians accused of ruining their economy and condemning millions to poverty and hardship cases of also taking to the streets of tokyo decrying big business and income inequality as well as directing their anger at nuclear power companies taiwan's capital taipei also played host to an occupy movement many rallied outside the city's financial which they view as a symbol of corporate excess. the echoes of this global movement of also being heard in the middle east analyses paula is in israel and witnessed the demonstrations in tel aviv. hundreds of people are also gathering here in tel aviv where many of the faces are familiar as the organizers of the social protest

movement that has been taking place across this country for several months now have given a full weight and backing to visit global movement in fact as you can see there hundreds of people here they've mobilized themselves once again on line at the moment they're holding small discussion groups talking about issues such as tackling poverty being part of this international movement when you talk to people here they say that while it's a pity that they're not really actively participating in these wall street protests they certainly support them and the protests and demonstrations here in israel will continue to grow until the government makes a demands i think that we need to continue and have some demonstration you know big events like this one or smaller events but we need to keep in the mind of the people to know that we still don't have any solution we still don't have anything from the government that's a specific and proper solution for the situation we we are only into it the slogan occupy wall street here in israel has been translated into occupied lost child boulevard boulevard being the street way for nearly three months protesters pitched

tents in defiance against this country's socio economic policies earlier this month those tents did come down after an extended court battle between a television municipality and the demonstrators the city here in israel we're witnessing people very much a part of this global revolution movement you need to remember that the last few months have seen the largest demonstrations in this country's sixty three year old history with nearly a million people taking to the streets policy r.t. tell a bit of. trouble there our correspondents in europe and us will bring you the latest on the occupy together rallies stay with r.t. for our special coverage. sponsored by growing poverty and. by their countries wage inflation as well cutting jobs and social spending people across the globe rise up against their government's economic policies follow the world wide actions against austerity like forty. two other news

this hour off the seven 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 with rumors of army defectors joining the opposition the gap between the two sides in the conflict appears to be widening as a party to syria reports while people in the capital calling for dialogue other parts of the country 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 melwood it one thing is clear though when we try to approach people here and bring up the issue of the cost they could almost always turns into a heated debate a very emotional discussion depending on the standard they take prilosec she meets in the i.c.u. for their appointments not all positions we don't know who they are yet syria is under charge through storms but we will not give up in the in the what then will cause the opposition calms down the rational. guy along with the regime i was the

government position and be more open minded. but again we are to mask 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 boards armed gangs they think 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 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 groups who were trying to create trouble for the locals there but according to some activists so they are saying that these are not armed groups of these were peaceful protesters as well as army defectors with a strong army defecting defector contingent in the restaurant it's very difficult to verify these the exactly what happened in the city because people are very

hesitant to talk again there is still a lot of military the army still in that city a 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 the with the opposition various sides of the opposition. closer to shore reform. the dialogue should have a program and a timeline we must clearly understand what kind of results we want to achieve by one of the sticking points of the constitutional reforms is article eight which states that the ruling baath party is the leader of the state and the opposition says that this and no matter even if a multi-party system is introduced without repealing this article it won't change anything but again it's a tense on the dialogue that all sides are going to have to take in full size pro and anti government sides always say at the end of the day it's not what is said

it's the sincerity of both sides in doing what they say it will do so it's down to the action in the next few months. as our city reporting there by the way more stories eye catching video blogs and analysis all available for you twenty four seven a dot com that's our website is there some of what's on life at the moment moscow is preparing a response to washington's planned missile defense system in europe which it sees as a threat to national security that story for you at all to dot com and also. find out why one of the coldest the most impossible places in europe now extends a warm welcome to hundreds of immigrants from around the world have through online at r.t. dot com. ukraine is cleaning up ready to host next year's euro twenty four football tournament but that includes the burning of stray dogs in a mobile incinerator with locals claiming in some cases the difference with animals a burned alive may find some images and and they report disturbing. he

waved as president michel platini was all smiles while inspecting cleaves new stadium the grounds of the huge twenty two well football championships final match but a box of a much smaller size has been delighting the authorities in will ukraine several months ago local t.v. in the town of research on the capital reported a purchase over twenty thousand dollar immobile crematorium three destroying biological waste namely the dispensing of dead straight animals. we put this crematorium on wheels and are now able to cull the large areas including neighboring towns we had many objections but they all come to nothing in our fight against bites from stray dogs and the spread of infection tens of thousands of stray animals roaming the streets of ukraine cities in this a chance cologne hundreds of residents are bitten by dogs every year it sounds of plans to first shoot the animals dead and then destroy their bodies in the morgue.

but in reality it turned into gruesome killings sparking outrage among the animal protection societies closer to the ship the locals believe that the dogs are still alive but we don't have any evidence of what poison is used to kill them so we cannot say for sure the only official way regulating the number of these animals is to sterilize rather than to kill them and we will stop demanding this happens in europe over the past few decades stray animals tragically disappeared there. the animal lovers outcry had a massive response on the internet and online petition was signed by almost two hundred thousand people some of them suggesting you are twenty twelve should not be held in a country that is so cool to its creatures but the people who demand to cancel euro two thousand and twelve is not unexpected as a rule letters from citizens don't work but in two thousand and ten animal defenders addressed officials of mr platini who then asked deputy prime minister

kalashnikov. to stop this outrage against animals it's been a year and we haven't seen any results so far and it has been a sustained campaign at getting you a sense chief to use his influence to stop this cruelty animal rights groups have been staging loud but small protests against school two for three years but they multiply number of those signing the petition now would alarm europeans food news governing body at first there had been strong doubts about ukraine's ability to host the championship some had even suggest that it be moved elsewhere now with all the new stadiums in airports springing up it seems there is no going back even with all the course to deprive ukraine of the tournament but animal rights activists say they will continue putting pressure on the authorities both and at u.a. for to have their voice heard. a look see russia ascii art see reporting from kiev in ukraine. twenty twenty eight minutes past the hour now but with headlines in
