good to have you with us here on r t our top story the anti wall street campaign that inspired mass protests 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 pledge to stay for as long as it takes to end what they see as widening economic injustice lucy kavanagh 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 the stop and i'm president and a number of people rallied together to march to times square where they had urged to try to sort of in some memory shine and quality area with some of the other events that were taking place across the hall part of the occupy wall street movements now we've seen a lot of scared sussed and offs and why eighteen the new york city police department were out this week and protesters have
1:02 am
a march to times square where the intentions of people that i was a part of this actually trapped by these barricades had their hands held for several hours ronnie left and right or to get out we saw these officers on horseback nearly drowned all a number of protesters peace officers out scooters had a ran over some protesters there was a total of ninety two are rascals part of the occupy wall street gatherings over this weekend here in new york by witness number of them in one instance when we were in times square a number of protesters were sitting peacefully they were taken by these lambs violently onto the ground and prevented a way we saw a number of protesters arrested violently while they were fortunate in times where we're trying to film what was going on and just by saying that we are press we're simply here to cover the events they have pushed us back with the bonds and hands they usually use up high tech strobe lights to blinds the cameras that we're able
1:03 am
to film any 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 i mean for the protests continue to grow across the country here in the united states which are possible and there are several thousand protests that have turned out about one hundred forty. something of them are arrested by police there is often arrests in denver and in other parts of this time stream all indicative of the fact spilling into new surroundings how it develops remains to be seen but we'll be covering it for you here. one of the major grievances uniting protesters across the u.s. is anger at the government for putting corporate welfare above that of citizens not that you'd pick up by watching much of the u.s. mainstream media but activists are getting creative to get across the point is our he's got a cheeky young reports. i think it's their discontent flower seeds guy

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 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 though 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 tell 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 economies terms various groups emboldened 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 are 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 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 all shorted 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 piece shirts and banners which as graphic as they are hardly
