one pm 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 protests across the world over the weekend is in its fifth week with more demonstrations planned despite hundreds of arrests in the u.s. senate tough response from police activists are pledging to stay for as long as it takes to end what they see as widening economic injustice and of has more from new york. i'm here answer cody heart 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 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 in politics 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 standoffs with them i'm eighteen that york city police department were out
5:02 am
just being at protesters have means we marched to the times square where the intentions of the people that i was a part of actually just dropped by the barricades. there and held for several hours by me left and right or to get out we saw these officers on horseback nearly each round all of a number of protesters case officers on scooters had a ran over some protesters there was a total of ninety two are rascals part of the occupy wall street gatherings over the weekend here in new york by witness number of them in one instance when we were in times where a number of protestors were sitting peacefully they were taken by these lambs wiley onto the ground and handcuffed and prevented the way we saw a number of protesters did cry a little while there were fourteen times where we're trying to film what was going on and just by saying that we are pressing the being here to cover the event they have pushed us back with the bomb that hands they used these high tech strobe
5:03 am
lights to lines the cameras that were able 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 were several thousand protests that have turned out about one hundred forty. something that are arrested by police there is also arrests in denver and in other parts of this time stream all indicative of the fact it's been linked to mr roach how it helps remains to be seen but we will be covering it for you here and our. one of the major grievances uniting protesters across the u.s. was what they say is anger at the government for putting 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 across that point as art he's got a she explains from washington. their discontent loud.
5:04 am
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 law 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 henryk messages that people carry on their chests have often been subject to mockery what is the sign that occupy wall street broke most of the five people i would think of what does that mean but 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
5:05 am
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 and wall street are mindless and when you ask people who are 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 if 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 and then a collapse 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.
5:06 am
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 warns 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 t. shirts 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 much more 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. and people in spain seem to approach these this movement away with dogs with their
