eight am in moscow i'm at très a good to have you with us here on r t our top story the anti wall street campaign that inspired mass protest across the world over the weekend is into its fifth week with more demonstrations planned despite hundreds of arrests in the u.s. and a tough response from police activists are pledging to stay as long as it takes to end what they see as widening economic injustice. has more from new york. well i'm here and see cody park which was the scene of a massive massive turnout of occupy wall street protesters over the weekend it was just one of the locations where protesters gather you stop and i'm precedented a number of people rallied together to march to times square where they had converged to. sort of in some ration and call it bury it with some of the other events that were taking place across all part of the occupy wall street movements now we've seen a lot of hands and office but then why in the new york city police department
12:02 am
throughout this weekend protesters have peacefully marched to times square where the intentions of meatball that i was a part of was actually trapped by these barricades hands there and held for several hours rami able to pull left right or to get out we saw these officers on horseback nearly drowned all of a number of protesters peace officers on scooters had to ran over some protesters there was a total of ninety two are rastus part of the occupy wall street gatherings over this weekend here in new york i witnessed several of them in one instance when we were in times square a number of protestors were sitting peacefully demonstrating turning out true to speak up or of the economic injustice is that they perceive are the issue in this country they were taken by the police clamped violently onto the ground and again and driven away we saw a number of protesters arrested violently while they were marching to times square
12:03 am
the police actually prevented them from turning on several streets and so we were corralled into wrapped her several hours as i mentioned now at one point in time square when we were unable to move the protesters started chanting reciting the first amendment back to the police officers but to no avail we're trying to film what was going on and despite us saying that we are press were simply here to cover the events they have pushed us back with on. in hands they used the exact heights next rope lights to blinds the cameras that were unable to film any. serious visuals of what was actually going on which was unprecedented in my experience here to date meanwhile while these events were happening here in new york the protests continue to grow across the country here in the united states which are toggled there is a several thousand protesters that have turned out about a hundred and forty something of them were arrested by the police there is also arrests in denver and other parts of this time treat all indicative of the fact that this movement in ten years to grow just might. bite the deteriorating weather
12:04 am
it seems like more and more people continue to show alex to support what has really become as mean all of this american occupation the so-called occupy wall street movement how it develops remains to be seen but we will be covering it for you here at r.t. bringing up one of the major grievances uniting protesters across the u.s. is eyeing or at the government for putting corporate welfare above that of citizens not that you pick up by watching the merit much of america's mainstream media so activists are getting creative to get across the point as art he's got a chick young reports. thank you it's very discontent loud. and i and graphic thousands of americans have resorted to banners and t. shirts to get their message across that a frustration with what they see is the government acting on behalf of big corporations rather than the people message which the protesters say their media
12:05 am
failed to deliver the media feels like these kinds of events don't deserve coverage sometimes all you get when you do something this is a photograph and so it's very important for the message to be seen those simple oftentimes handwritten messages that people carry on their chests have often been subject to mockery what is the sign of occupy wall street brother that most of the five of the people that i would talk of what does that mean. it seems the only fault of these people is presented in the american media is that they don't all have a degree in economics and finances and are not able to explain their grievances in professional economists terms various groups in bold to cheer the end of the greatest system known to man and replace it with what who cares let's nap the protests on wall street or mindless and when you ask people in wall street what they want they don't know the acts that took place over the last thirty years with
12:06 am
regards to national debt and debt within the system generally all of these things are very complicated and difficult for the general public to understand and people in the media and people on wall street like it that way because if you don't understand it then you know you don't get what happened but the american people know that they've gotten hosed they've lost their jobs they've seen them offshore to china they've lost their houses they saw a huge run up in home prices that are collapsed and people are saying you know what i know that i've got screwed by all of this but i don't know how i got screwed but americans who took to the streets are looking to express themselves by means. other than motivational p. shirts and banners which as graphic as they are hardly convey the full message of the movement the demonstrators are spreading their own paper now called occupy wall street journal which details what they're unhappy with and makes it clear that they're not rooting for one particular party it also works against quote political
12:07 am
machines in their p.r. slick's taking control of the protest message one word to describe these ongoing protests from the beginning is frustration on their team it's on cardboard on the backs of pizza boxes as we've seen people express that frustration that is the movement grows the ways of getting their message across also much more and as people here say this paper is just the beginning i'm going to check our reporting from last r.t. . the banker backlash is now resonating well beyond u.s. borders in europe our teams correspondents have been gauging developments there. the police have been trying to disperse the last few remaining hundred hardcore protesters these people who are on the streets of madrid today and they believe that their voices aren't being hard to watch are on the spot reports from european capitals by clicking on our team dot com. arab league members have decided not to suspend syria from the group but want urgent talks between the government
