3:02 pm
fight for space essentially for their right to be out protesting in other major cities in the united states in san francisco five were arrested after a confrontation with with police over a parking campaign 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 in times square to march itself was peaceful however once it arrived at times where a group of protesters were trapped by police barricades and held for several hours unable to move to the right or left or get out of the police force the crowd back nearly trampling some of the protesters and we scooters ran over several people are total of ninety two arrests were made in the course of the occupy wall street actions in new york over this weekend the protesters who have taken to the street and dozens of students in the u.s. say they will stay as long as it takes to and economic injustice 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
3:03 pm
the very few wealthy rather than the ninety nine percent is the demonstrators call themselves since last year corporations have been allowed to funnel as much money as they want into political campaigns in the u.s. the new legislation means they don't even have to disclose the amounts they spend and also the new law political donations effectively gives the corporations even more influence in washington leading many americans 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 report. their discontent loud. and graphic thousands of americans have resorted to banners and t. shirts to get their message across their 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
3:04 pm
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 hand written messages that people carry on their chests and often being subject to mockery what is the sign. by wall street rather than most of the five out of the people i would say that 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 economists terms various groups and told to cheer the end of the greatest system known to man and replace it with what who cares let's nap their protests on wall street or mindlessly when you ask people in wall street what they want they don't know acts that took place over the last thirty years with regards to national debt within the system generally all of these things are very
3:05 pm
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 close it was their jobs they've seen them offshore to china they watched their houses they saw a huge run up in home prices that are collapsed in people are saying you know what i know that i've got 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 pieces. it's an banners which as graphic as they are hardly convey the full message and from movement the demonstrators are spreading their own paper now called occupied wall street journal which details what their are happy with and makes it clear that they are not rooting for one particular party it also works against political machines and their p.r.
3:06 pm
slick's taking control of the protest message one word to describe these ongoing protests from the beginning is frustrating. for its own cardboard on the backs of pizza boxes as we've seen people express that frustration 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 for last part . time around two hundred protesters inspired by the occupy wall street movement are refusing for a third day to leave the heart of london's financial district like their fellow campaigners across the atlantic are i guess directed at corporate greed and state cutbacks a square in front of suppose cathedral source standoff between several thousand activists and police over the weekend protests to also continued in front of the european central bank in frankfurt germany the demonstrators there of set up a tent camp and say they plan to stay until their demands for restrictions on global financial institutions are met don't get the latest developments on this

the main roads of this serve dominated north protesting against christian as attempt to set up customs in this area and to prevent cost of and police officers and custom officers and officials from reaching the checkpoints at the northern border with serbia which we haven't seen any sign of the removal work so far roadblocks are still there where they've been for the last two months and tensions are boiling as people are getting more and more exhausted and aggressive the deadline to take away these barricades as well as others was announced by the kosovo peacekeeping force known as k. for all saturday its commander general troops met with the mayors of four northern cos of a towns claiming k four need these roads as it needs access for its troops in the north it's currently 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 mean of travel last month some of the barricades poor. results and
3:09 pm
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 twitter feed from the latest over the. course of oh she's been tweeting about rising anger among serbs the barricades over the ongoing deadlock as nato forces proposed to and follow. for all the latest updates. i spoke to political analysts xander provigil belgrade he told me he thinks if people dismantles the barricades it would contradict its stated peacekeeping mission. they're there to enforce the peace and that's all but k. four for since the end of july has actually been undertaken to help the albanians all round out their own sovereign state against un resolution twelve forty four so
3:10 pm
they've overstepped their mandate if they weren't doing it that they would have absolutely no problem with the serbs anywhere in course or before july twenty fifth there was really no reason for k. for to be in the north everything was peaceful it was only when the albanians sent a very special police forces up north to establish a border between our cultural and serbia that came forward decided to assist them and this is why they need freedom of movement to actually assist her cause there are billions in building their illegal state belgrade is trying to keep it all peaceful they can they can try to they can only appeal to individual countries and to world wide problem opinion because everyone is very resolved in belgrade and in northern costs of war to have this resolved in a peaceful way and i think the important thing is that we can see that who is actually using force for no reason at all and if ok for moves there they'll be the
3:11 pm
ones using force the course or service of that explicitly said that they would not use force and if there are barriers are removed they would just put up new ones but they will all do it peacefully so it's really public opinion is the last i guess defense of the peaceful demonstrators in northern cross from now on our website you give us your thoughts on who's to blame for the conflict in kosovo as northern border this is what you're telling us is i would suspect you have to see the call most two thirds of you put the blame on washington for boosting kosovo's independence fourteen percent accused of not protecting kosovo says this change but over the last twelve percent of you say the e.u. can't keep things in order six percent say prishtina allows the prosecution of says what do you think you've not taken part in this so it's. if we are the pilot from the home page r.t. dot com. washington has to deploy around one hundred special operations troops to uganda to help local forces there fight the lord's resistance army widely considered the terrorist group regional authorities been trying to get rid of the

that word that phrase what it really means is that it's in the interest of ugandan president who is rightly considered to be an illegitimate sort of dictatorial power in the in the ugandan government. and the ugandan military has been fighting. in somalia which is sort of one of america's main missions in somalia right now and we've basically been bribing him with millions of dollars and military equipment to help fight in a proxy war against al shabaab that's really the reason we were going in to help him with the problem he has with with the l r a doesn't have anything to do with a direct threat to the american national security or of a humanitarian for what he says president to this measure is only a short one he says america doesn't get bogged down in another conflict will he be able to one of the pledge. you know what this has all the ingredients of
3:14 pm
a prolonged military quagmire it's possible that the one hundred combat troops some of the most elite american forces around can go in there cut the head off the snake of joseph koni the leader of the ira and then leave but what's more likely especially if we think about previous interventions in that region is there more bloodshed occurs and mission creep could possibly come in and start to change the mission into stabilizing the region or you know training the ugandan military to fend for themselves the way that we're doing in afghanistan supposedly so all of this leads to questions about exactly how long this will last and i think that we're better we'd be good to be skeptical of exactly this limited mission in the short time period on this frame for other broader picture here at the same time as all this the pentagon confirming troops will remain in the region and surrounding
