the intentions of people that i was a part of was actually trapped by these barricades had their hands held for several hours primeval to the left and right or to get out we saw these officers on horseback nearly each round ball up a number of protesters least officers on scooters had a ran over some protesters there was a total of ninety two are russians part of the occupy wall street gatherings over the weekend here in new york and my witness let one of them in one ear and when we were in times square the number of protesters were sitting peacefully they were taken by the these lambs wirelessly onto the ground and preventing the way we saw the number of protesters violently while they were watching sometimes where we were trying to film what was going on and despite us saying that we are press we're simply here to cover the events they have pushed us back with the tongs and hands they usually use up high tech strobe lights to blinds the cameras that we're able
4:03 am
to film and 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 modeled there was a several thousand protesters that have turned out about one hundred forty. something of them are arrested by the police there is also arrests in denver and in other parts of the country all indicative of the fact that this movement continues to grow 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 us in the u.s. is anger at the government for putting work fire corporate welfare above that of citizens but that point seems lost to much of america's mainstream media so activists are getting creative to get a point across that point as art he's got a chick eon explains. their discontent loud.

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 those simple oftentimes handwritten messages that people carry on their chests have often been subject to mockery what is the sign that 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 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 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 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 got a whole. they've lost their jobs they've seen them all short of china it 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 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 then makes it clear that they're not rooting for one particular party it also works against quote political machines and 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 or it's on cardboard on the backs of pizza boxes as we've seen people express that prostration that is the movement grows the ways of getting their message across also mature and as people here say this paper is just the beginning i'm going to check our reporting from washington our to. the banker backlash now resonates well beyond u.s. borders in europe our teams correspondents have been gauging developments there. people in space seem to approach these this movement

4:09 am
argues this undermines the essence of multiple parties you know some some people in the in the party leadership have come to the conclusion that article eight and more dangerous articles in the constitution that article eight are going to be under review we shall have almost a new constitution where a new multi-party system will be achieved without any difficulties perhaps change is coming to syria but the street protests and violent clashes have been dragging on for months some violent they will not stop until bashar al assad. steps down so is it simply too little too late. meetings like this happen on a daily basis from those of the national developmental party out there in the final stages of the outlook the process of becoming an efficient little marty here in syria well after a decade of listening to promises of reform they now feel that this could be real let me set the thing for us are still you are to damascus syria. stay with us here
