movement we've seen a lot of action over the weekend in chicago an estimated one hundred seventy five people were arrested in new york an unprecedented number of people marched to times square the market's peaceful however one state arrived at times square concluding the protesters were trapped by police barricades and held it was several hours unable to move to the right or left or get out police force the crowds back nearly trampling some protesters while police scooters ran over several people were a total of ninety two arrests were made in the course of the occupy wall street actions in new york over the weekend the protesters which have taken to the streets of major cities in the united states say they will stay as long as it takes to and economic justice each and every one of these protesters is. out there with their own grievances but the general theme is take money out of politics they feel their government represents the interests of the very few wealthy rather than the ninety nine percent as the demonstrators call themselves since last year corporations have
12:03 pm
been allowed to funnel as much money as they want into political campaigns in the u.s. now new legislation means that they don't even have to disclose the amounts that they spend the new law on political donations of affectively gives the corporations even more influence in washington leaving many americans are wondering whether their voice is being heard now on different ways and means through which the protestors are trying to get their message across here is my record. go to your comfort sort of much we've got a report coming up next. hour let's go to that report now. thank you it's very discontent now relief. and graphic thousands of americans have resorted to banners and t.
12:04 pm
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 occupy wall street brother that most of the five of the people. 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 economy 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
12:05 pm
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 or why but americans who took to the streets are looking to express themselves by means. other than motivational banners which as graphic as they are hardly convey the full message of the movement the demonstrators are spreading their own paper now called

transporting its soldiers and delivering food fuel and water for those of them stationed in the northern part of kosovo by helicopters which is a very expensive means of travel last month some of the barricades. resulted in violence peacekeepers used rubber bullets and tear gas against the serbs the circumstances are right now very complicated and what may look peaceful for now could explode at any time. you can follow her twitter feed as well for the latest developments from kosovo she's been tweeting today about rising anger amongst the barricades over the ongoing deadlock as nato forces prepare to enact their plan you follow our twitter feed for updates also on our web site as well and give us your thoughts on who you think is to blame for the conflict on kosovo's northern border also a website you give us your thoughts on who you think is to blame for the conflict here is how the votes are stacking up in our t.
12:10 pm
dot com there you go take a look it's almost two thirds of you know put the blame on washington for boosting kosovo's independence seventeen percent of you accuse belgrade of not protecting kosovars twelve percent say that you can't keep things in order six percent of you this think allowed the persecution of serbs you can add your voice to the graph they could change the balance on the home page at r.t. dot com. to get more insight now into the situation in northern kosovo and talk to alexander public political analyst from belgrade you're on the line live tonight very good evening alexander thanks for being our to international correspondent says there are no signs of any barricades being moved as of now or will the locals actually take them down tomorrow do you think. i don't expect to think the serbs have made it clear that they're not going to remove any barricades themselves because the reasons for their being there in the first place haven't so i think the ball is in the court of the case for. how much are they within their rights k.
12:11 pm
for to make demands of the serbs like this and how does it correspond with their peacekeeping mandate. well really it doesn't you know they're there to enforce the peace and that's all but ok for for since the end of july has actually been undertaking to help the albanians a round out their own sovereign state against un resolution twelve forty four so they've overstepped their mandate if they weren't doing that they would have absolutely no problem with the serbs anywhere in kosovo so that's where the root of the problem actually is now the roadblocks they say you have presented a just a problem for occasional but is it purely about logistics. well it isn't because before july twenty fifth there was really no reason for pay for it to be in the north everything was peaceful it was only when the albanians sent to their special police forces up north to establish a border between civil and serbia that case for decided to system and this is why
12:12 pm
they need freedom of movement to actually assist the cause of all baby ends in building their illegal state so it's not about logistics it's about politics as usual great school full of the un security council to help resolve the situation isn't it when the border crossings dispute began back in july why does it appear at the un seems deaf to the position. well the un is only partially deaf it's actually the western powers the nato countries in the security council who are deaf this is the united states france and england. russia and china would actually support this this request from belgrade but. the western countries have a veto power so this is why actually it seems that the un is deaf when in fact actually they would be just at the western. powers are actually supporting this drive this illegal drive by the government in prishtina so you can belgrade to see
12:13 pm
them to try and sort this out before any more trouble flares up. well really. belgrade is trying to keep it all peaceful they can they can try to they can only appeal to individual countries and to worldwide public opinion because everyone is very resolved in belgrade and in northern cross of all to have this resolved in a peaceful way and i think the important thing is to that we can see that coup is actually using force for no reason at all if ok for moves there they'll be the ones using force the course of the serbs of that explicitly said that they would not use force and if they are barriers are removed they would just put up new ones but they were all do it peacefully so it's really public opinion is the last i guess defense of the peaceful demonstrators in northern kosovo well we watch this story very closely of course thanks ever so much for your thoughts on alexander public political analyst joining us from belgrade thank you thank you and later this hour
12:14 pm
as well he talked to said he is chief negotiator with kosovo he believes the ethnic specifics of the north of kosovo being a special scenario must be implemented to try to resolve the tension then. right now what cristina did was a one sided attempt to change the reality on the ground which is against all the agreements before and it's against security council resolution for all forty four it's against the mandate if you like seats again six points point by the bank you move which was supported by the security council so what they did is actually they try to wait make a one sided step so later they can see its effect on me and now we should. accept process. from the serbs who live here in the north because the north has its own reality it's really specific it's exclusive in many ways so people here are ethnically moderate and they are united in their leaning toward serbia. and you know we did there are differences there are other parts of the so we should have
