10:02 am
birds to. sort of in some memory shine and call it area 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 offs and why even the new york city police department were out to speak protesters have easily marched to times square where the intentions of people that i was a part of this actually trapped by these barricades hands there and held for several hours rami able to laugh right or to get out we saw these officers on horseback nearly drowned all a number of protestors peace officers scooters had to 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 the these lambs violently onto the ground and again and driven away just on
10:03 am
a number of protesters arrested violently while they were fortunate sometimes where we're 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 taunts and commands they usually it's 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 i mean or the protests continue to grow across the country here in the united states which are pago there are several thousand protests that have turned out about one hundred forty. something of them were arrested by the police there is also arrests in denver and other parts of this time tree all indicative of the fact that this film and continues to grow how it develops remains to be seen but we will be covering it for you here. due to how things are loosely coming off
10:04 am
reporting right that one of protestors across the u.s. are also voicing their anger at the government for putting corporate can sons above those of citizens they say this point is being missed in much of the country's mainstream media so activists saw getting rather creative to have their voices heard and salty is gone h. if you can explains. thank you it's very 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 and often being subjected to mockery what is the sign of occupy wall street brother that most of

the five of the people that i would think 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 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 me. other than motivational shirts and banners which as graphic as they are hardly convey the full messages from 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 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 and there are two currents on cardboard on the backs of pizza boxes we've seen people express that frustration that is the movement grows the ways of getting their message across also mature and as people

a lot of policy towards the middle east process in an interview to a russian news agency lieberman said israel's relations with the palestinians are a matter for the two sides and the middle east quartet comprised of russia the us the e.u. and the un just needed. a journalist and blogger in tel aviv says that israel's policy depends on the u.s. but the public mood there is. problem is that it can't be resolved right now it can't be resolved with international mediation either because international mediation is finally taking its lead from the united states and the united states is taking its lead from from pre-election public opinion which is very anti palestinian anti muslim very pro israel because israel is against stands against the same enemy that america has and so america is beholden to this exaggeratedly pro israel anti palestinian attitude and we're america goes the quartet goes so
10:19 am
international mediation at least until the election in america is pointless and it can't help. but to think that israel can solve the problem with out international mediation is also impossible but it's to lieberman's liking because lieberman does not want to solve the problem he doesn't want any interference he wants to go on with the occupation as it is meanwhile the historical prisoner swap between israel and hamas now faces scrutiny the israeli high court is to have four petitions against the swap of a thousand palestinians and exchange for one israeli soldier or that of a get out charlotte they've been filed by an organization representing the families of israelis killed or wounded in palestinian militia they want the list of prisoners scrutinized if the deal goes ahead the palestinians will be released on choose day while the rest will be freed and december gilad schalit is expected to
