live from the heart of moscow this is r.t. with me receipt showing the anti wall street campaign that inspired mass protests across the world over this past weekend is now into its fifth week with more demonstrations planned now despite hundreds of arrests in the united states under tough response from police activists are pledging to stay for as long as it takes to end to what they see as a widening economic injustice artie's the lucy catherine of reports from the heart of the movement in 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 president and a number of people rallied together to march to times square where they had converged to to 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 movement now we've seen a lot of try and suss than dogs but then why eighteen the new york city police
6:02 am
department were out this weekend protesters had peacefully marched to times square where the intentions of the people that i was a part of this actually trapped by police barricades had their hands held for several hours rami left and right or to get out we saw these officers on horseback nearly each round ball a number of protesters police officers on scooters kind of 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 i witnessed several 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 handcuffed and prevented the way we saw a number of protesters arrested violently while they were marching sometimes where we were trying to film what was going on and despite us saying that we are pressing the same thing here to cover the events because they have pushed us back with the
6:03 am
tongs and hands they usually use up high tech strobe 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 with your model and there are several thousand protests that have turned out about one hundred forty. something of them were arrested by police and there is also arrests in denver and other parts of this time stream all indicative of the fact this bill went to mr crow how it develops remains to be seen but we'll be covering it for you here and art. reporting right there well one of the major grievances uniting protesters across the u.s. is the government for putting corporate welfare above that of citizens but the point seems lost to much of america's mainstream media so activists are getting
6:04 am
creative to get the point across if he's going into account explains. thank you it's very discontent. 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 have 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 symbols 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
6:05 am
have a degree in economics and finances and are not able to explain their grievances are professional economists 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 gotten hosed they've lost their jobs they've seen them off shore 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 but
6:06 am
americans who took to the streets are looking to express themselves by me. 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 occupied 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 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 frustration but 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 out reporting from washington. for the bank backlash resonates well beyond american

and will draw up a new constitution they do all that under their conditions and in recent deadly clashes in cities like understand and believe the president appointed a committee to draft a new constitution within four months one sticking point is article eight it states a good bath party is the leader of the state and society the opposition 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. protests in violent drug markets some would not stop until bush on the side steps down so is it simply too little too late.

6:11 am
themselves they were told to clear the roads over the weekend or k. four troops will dismantle them on monday trouble flared in july when cause of un police tried to take over two northern border crossings which was resisted by locals blockaded access roads and nato forces then moved in to try and establish control late last month some barricades were bulldogs resulting in violence with peacekeepers using rubber bullets and tear gas against a political analyst. says that what i'm most of the nato is soley serving a cause of and officials interests. legally do have a right q as they see. for its freedom of movement on the whole territory of cost of war but the problem with really. because the serbian authorities avoided service in kosovo do you recognize nato is right and gave for the right to enforce the law in cost of war but the problem is that most need
6:12 am
a country they need to recognize did the independent cost of war and the currently trying to implement their laws and to establish their own checkpoint the border between northern parts of more infantilized area and that is what is an acceptable for the third cape or in itself should it be only nato convoys there would be no problem whatsoever it could also part of the problem in carrying themselves out meaning an official from the possible government. or in our time for you to get involved here i do give us your thoughts on who's to blame for the conflict on cause of those northern border checking out the numbers in the stats right here at r t dot com let's look at the numbers here forty six percent of you put the blame on washington for boosting cause of those independents almost a quarter accused belgrade of not protecting cause of our serbs but the rest are fairly evenly split between saying pristina is allowing the persecution of serbs or blame the e.u. for failing to keep things in order you can add your voice right now the ballot is
6:13 am
on the home page at r.t. dot com. well still ahead for you we talked to chief negotiator with cause of oh that's all here in about twenty minutes time he believes that it's impossible to resolve the situation the way pristina intends to. these attempts to create the border between the serbian cause there cannot be a border especially in areas. of serbs living so there cannot be a border because the he's at minister to lie the second thing is that once you cross them off then you will put a flag then you will put the called of arms then you will put the so-called possible laws and then people who live here will be circled by something that looks like. so there has to be a different solution. it is a nearly quarter past the hour now here in the russian capital libya's

a revolutionary forces have reportedly entered of bani walid it's one of the last towns still loyal to the ousted leader moammar gadhafi but resistance there is fierce fighting also continues in the colonel's hometown of sirte seen as the last obstacle for the new authorities to declare the country's full liberation and actions more on what's happening on the ground let's not cross live to tripoli and speak to. the spokesperson for the international committee of the red cross so i thank you for coming on the program today so you've just come back from so what is the situation. from a humanitarian point of view. wanting to most of the media at the red cross is that seem to concerned about the situation of the civilians who might still be called in the beseeched part of the city as you know there is still a pot of soup that is under heavy fighting for the moment we don't know exactly if that are since the billions present in that area and how many in case they are still going to be extremely concerned about their conditions inside the city if
6:15 am
they are if they are inside now on the other side of course at the hospital even seen a hospital when we went there for the few times that the situation was very difficult at the beginning and also because it was working under extremely difficult. missions we had to evacuate several patients we needed food and medical care in hospitals in tripoli we have activated so far twenty five wounded patients and then to stay evacuated further cases that need to be treated because the hospital was not able now the situation is changing inside the hospital often seen out there that is a lot of improvement done efforts are being also given by doctors and volunteers who went to the hospital to try to cool with the conditions because as you say conditions in the hospital over the past week certainly have improved you've got you've got more supplies now and equipment to deal with casualties but as you did mention though the violence continues on the interim government wants to take control of certain any cost in order to declare the country fully liberated with
6:16 am
all the ongoing violence do you think the lives of those civilians are actually being at all taken into account. what again i mean decisions are the main concern for the ice to see the conduct the pacific it's something we surely discussed with your thirty's and a confidential they all look however the main concern for us now is to know if that are still civilians present inside the beseech part of syria and look into the that's a good action of the humanitarian situation for the civilians inside the city now from what you've seen from what you've seen on location there and understand you know in tripoli puts a how how strong is the resistance of the khadafi loyalists and. whether for getting to see we do not interfere and you know we do not comment on these kinds of issues are not you know the political aspect the military aspect how it is going again to conduct the pacific this is something we discuss surely
6:17 am
because this is part of international humanitarian law we discuss it with the authorities in charge however on the ground now we are calling upon all the parties to the conflict to take all the keys of the measures to spare the civilians if the civilians are still inside we should not forget that thousands of people left already the city of sirte and when i was. and last week we were seeing hundreds of people still leaving on day basis going i did on the east and on over on the western side of the city so thousands are ready that we don't know if civilians are still inside but in case they are still inside we call again upon all the bodies fighting in the remaining fifty five said that this isn't the end and then forces would continue monitoring the situation that is the source of concern for the i.c.r.c. today and you know here we understand you have a tough job ahead of you are dealing with the casualties dealing with the civilians who are being a caught up in this ongoing conflict if we can just turn our attention quickly to tripoli where you are now i'm running rather on time here though we saw signs of resistance from khadafi supporters last week or any charge you think that could be
6:18 am
repeated. why we cannot we cannot predict and we cannot know what's going to happen i mean for the moment i mean to believe the situation is stable but again i mean there is to see looks into that given the ten situation and now we're focusing on sick and on bad you anywhere we are trying also to have access to assess the situation off the coast and off the wounded who might need also to care so we're looking into into this but for the moment the situation in tripoli is calm the way i see. for the international red cross live in tripoli thank you very much. well let's get to some other news now here on the israeli high court is to hear for petitions against the deal to free a thousand palestinians in exchange for israeli soldier gilad schalit they want to swap delayed so the list of prisoners can be scrutinized but state prosecution sources say the appeals are likely to be rejected on monday the deal should then go
