10:01 am
thanks for joining us now police in oakland california have been trying hard to scare off occupy wall street protesters that kept coming back to the city hall the activists wanted to reestablish a temp countdown earlier people have been arrested. is following developments for us. the latest video that we have seen from oakland is arguably the most violent we've seen police against the occupy wall street protesters downtown oakland california resembles something of a yourself i tuesday morning when the police i tagged protesters with tear gas flash for you and rubber bullets shooting one man even in a piece with a rubber bullets these are these officers who were in attempting to keep it the activists from their protest camp ground that they set up weeks ago outside city
10:02 am
hall in oakland approximately five hundred right believes were trying to take part in it being activists from the campground each time now to stay back from what's being reported at least ninety seven protesters were were arrested in all of course this coming out for clouds of tear gas and noise and clash we need support for well from the area and who right now the spark for the conflict was the fact that this occupy wall street movement has been growing louder has been growing larger has been blazing across the united states opt or launching here in new york city nearly six weeks ago now as far as what the police in oakland california say they say they can protest if set up are was illegal and they had repeatedly told the activists that they had to meet that campground officials also say that we had
10:03 am
no other choice to use the tactics they did because some of the protesters were throwing rocks and bottles at the officers and city police in the open say that at least two officers were injured so far no video has surfaced showing any activists physically attacked. and equally so certain. parts of the lex o'brien who's behind the website which helped the first occupy wall street protests assemble miss o'brien do you think this crackdown seems like a proportionate response to what protestors are doing and understandably we don't your position in that matter maybe the protesters have been provoking police as well is that is that a possibility. no it isn't a possibility i mean if if you look at what's been going on since september seventeenth you've seen really just stellar behavior on the part of protestors and i take issue with the word activists it's not to say that there aren't activists that are part of the occupy wall street movement but most of these people are
10:04 am
actually citizens they're normal citizens like you and me who are concerned about the level of corruption in our government and you know they're coming to the civic square to try to find solutions because there are no solutions in traditional avenues ok and this. has become a worldwide protest is happening in a lot of other cities but most reports of police brutality we're seeing are coming from the us why do you think that is well i think that defense contractors realise that they can sell weapons and you know machinery in armory to civil forces in the united states and the heightened sort of culture of the war on terror has created a great excuse for city. law enforcement to sort of increase their budgets this is an example of how hard and soft dollars disloyal incompetent and wasteful special interests having served our nation's civil and military power and they spawned a host of threats to liberty and to our national security ok let's talk
10:05 am
a bit more about the support that this movement has been gaining around the world it's been so widespread and there have been other protests before with regard to the economy but why do you think this one in particular is gaining so much traction around the world as well. well i think it's for a couple reasons i mean firstly i think the e.u. can't say that the release of a wiki leaks documents didn't in a sense inspire you know with the movement towards more government transparency secondly i think social media has created a challenge to the market power of traditional media and so people are getting their information through trusted networks and i think that this movement is really a movement of people across the globe for that reason ok and now it's a movement is and it's a six week and the beginning there were talks of the protesters not knowing exactly what they wanted what do you think is this movement capable of achieving at the wrong long right has that been figured out at this point well you know it's people get asked this question as if like you know ordinary people are masters of the
10:06 am
universe we're ordinary citizens in many cases these are acts of conscience i mean i think the question is what happens if we don't do something what happens to our nation if we do not stand up to the centralization of power and the destruction of our civil liberties you know we don't want our children growing up in a totalitarian nightmare and i think that's the question we should be asking ok and it can also be argued just looking at the recovery of the protests that the rest and stories of police brutality as you were talking about earlier it's what keeps the media attention on the protests do you think that's fair and what happens if the media loses interest well you know the traditional media losing interest yes you know i mustn't. you know we have to do this on our own i mean many of the people have sort of initiated the call knew on some level that we had to do this on our own we had to create our own media i mean you see the success and global revolution for example or you know we have to do this on our own because the
10:07 am
interests that want the institutions of our society that are the underpinnings of a democratic republic the press in our elections the civic space they've all been fiscal allies and they're all controlled by the factions that control our government that have taken our government's power away from people so i'm not worried personally if the media don't cover it you know these are acts of conscience by individual citizens and hopefully you know we can. we can continue to build the kinds of infrastructure we need to build for each other to make sure that our children drug or grow up in a totalitarian nightmare thanks very much for your thoughts there lex o'brien founder of the website which helped the first occupy wall street protests assemble thanks very much thank you. all the occupy wall street protests are drawing from all walks of life people whose lives have been up ended by the recession they blame on financial fat cats parties and see it sure cannot met one of them. from

riches to rags an american fairy tale gone sour eric smith walks by a luxurious manhattan hotel chef here for six years he would top posh meals for the rich and famous we did a banquets for. we did parties for the past three presidents there. the recession changed everything today eric is jobless and broke after being laid off the unemployment which is. about three months he's been greedy and sort of changed to we worked with a lot of high and. now it's lettuce and tomatoes for simple vegetable draw in a brooklyn soup kitchen where he volunteered as one of the cooks for occupy wall street. and a thirty eight year old detroit native dreams of starting his own business a taco truck that doesn't have no money at all it's been a struggle. he has made me think about how other people are struggling even more
10:09 am
than myself the realization that one in six americans are living in poverty. has led eric to the occupy wall street protests calling for change just go from bad to worse to even worse and it's really happening all over the country the food he and other volunteers cook at the soup kitchen shows everybody the revolution. gets delivered to the protesters who spend day and night camping out hours eric also sleeps here at the end of the. last people here i'll go to the call for myself to sleep. on the ground usually even though the chef is penniless in this revolution he says he's been waiting for it his entire life cooking for the rich back cats in manhattan and trying to get out as fast as possible and make sure. the four and the rich still separated and that now he's gotten. this one this is something that's
10:10 am
really going to make a difference in the future and even though life is tougher than ever before eric says he would not choose to be anywhere else but here from relatively well off to flat out wrong is not an exceptional biography to have in the west these days eric story is one of millions but he is one of only hundreds that have found their way here so far is that feature archie new york. channel lets you see for yourself what's happening at the occupy wall street protests across the u.s. gathered footage shot by activists and sells. dot com slash our teeth. and it's about getting american officers restless google reports an increase in requests to remove video. story. it's make or break day in brussels as european leaders gathered. try and put the
10:11 am
final touches supporter eurozone out of its spiraling debt but the mood remains grim with a growing concern that bickering and rivalry between politicians are getting in the gray. bushel is in brussels for us daniel in the past hour or so germany's approved a massive expansion of the european bailout cash pool how does that figure into the accounting meeting. because germany's parliament has agreed to approve the bailout fund basically as an insurance for loans taken out by nations it happened this point insults being really thrown across the parliament even directed at angela merkel herself she was accused of gnawing at taxpayers to get this deal through germans of course particularly angry by any deal because. scuse me they're angry at any deal because germany will have to pay the vast majority of any of any bailout that italy's parliament was also suspended for a short time today there's a new there's a fight breaking out between paul and terry and they're being forced. to take out
10:12 am
a new round of measures silvio berlusconi offered to resign if he's government refused to raise the retirement age you need to be to sixty seven as france and germany and being he also reportedly told his cabinet there's no point in going to brussels today if he doesn't have a full mandate and it was the support of his cabinet government's own little things on looking good for resignations of a senior diplomats and one negotiations on greek write downs all proceeding very slowly officials want banks to write off seventy five percent of their loans to greece so it can lead to a million euro to athens you can forget about three quarters of that obviously angry they say anything above forty percent right and europe's whole banking system is in trouble it's really sheltering to go off the horse has bolted but the e.u. today is also trying to raise the amount of reserves that the banks have to hold to avoid exactly the same crisis the next time. the summit conclusion so no deal for recapitalization of banks and those would mean for main vulnerable in the event of
10:13 am
a greek default take a major hit and many are in fact expected to collapse there was an unconfirmed report that china has agreed to invest in the new european financial stability fund on the one hand it's in china's interest to prevent a collapse of the european union and the euro because that will. a negative no point effect on the rest of the world economy. so if everything goes go off. on its investments. the inclusion of the euro troubles some already looking for inspiration elsewhere as there are no reports at the talks continue to try to find a resolution for the financial crisis we've met some people who are cutting through the political rhetoric and telling it how it really is a weak soul system and the greek he's political rap lyrics have been striking
10:14 am
a chord with people. if you were a. replay of the protests and the squares the situation in greece is really tough and everything is reversed from what we used to know a few years ago we use our own lyrics to show how we perceive things are happening in our society. was the feeling in unison may come naturally to the greek you're using leaders have increasingly been failing to sing from the same page you will take twenty seven different countries with twenty one different languages all with their own different histories and different forms of government you cannot take them and force them into one unitary for government and the european project actually is dying as we look at it as the person continues to come up with a risky plan for the e.u. to be marred by bickering amongst the member states. we now have the greeks abusing
10:15 am
the germans they know bernie you flags in athens openly with swastikas drawn on them and we have the germans slagging off the greeks as being lazy and useless and the irony of this project is far from us all becoming friends together in this new european house actually we're beginning to argue and becca in the most extraordinary way. this week struggle to do with asperity measures including cuts to child's wages and pensions criticism the streets claim these in paris and brussels in athens are to blame who gains needs and the people all the politicians have to speak it's other not bust because that's the big problem that's the big problem. everybody that everything he wants to be left with but nobody here that people will notice that israel has major political
10:16 am
decisions and talks continue to take place behind closed doors so system is determined to take the discussion back to the streets. in this for sure if we get our message across to people and help them understand we feel we've succeeded in something we don't know where the situation is going we know why this started but we don't know where it will and. then as the year using crisis mumbles long it is assertions that they can't find a solution has left him standing to sound like breaking records. surf and. athens. relatives of the slain libyan leader moammar gadhafi are reportedly looking to the hague with a war crimes lawsuit against nato or they use the alliance of deliberately targeting the office convoy which they say pose no threat to civilians and little is only allowed into libya by the new when it's going to protect citizens who are the military alliance has the strongest preliminary decision to end it's really
10:17 am
a mission by the end of this month with calls from the interim government to stay on and start is a nice analogy discovered it about his death isn't making the country safer. one of the major concerns here are white weapons or firearms that are massively in the hands of the population here and there are efforts from the end to see to try to collect and get people to really really disarm and bring their weapons back but so far it doesn't look like that idea is working out we went to one collection center if you will yesterday it covers an area of tripoli and for the entire day only about ten or twelve a k forty seven s. have had been returned just to give you an idea of what that number means walking down one or two blocks here in the capital you can see maybe two times or three times more of that amount of automatic weapons being waved around but even more serious concern here in terms of security about weapons storage arsenals unguarded
10:18 am
warehouses full of life and what happens if those weapons get into the wrong hands already human rights watch has expressed grave concern about ground to air missiles that could essentially hit civilian aircraft if they get into the wrong answer the security situation here are very very sensitive and i just recently some three hundred people were from murdered in sirte with their hands tied behind their back that is sparking accusations of political executions which is exactly what these former rebels were fighting against another thing that they just stinks if you will of the prophecy of course is the way they could defeat was killed i mean we saw the brutal gruesome footage that went viral the whole world watching cluing of course libyans here and although i'll lot of the things you're seeing are in the mass media as people just full of elation that gadhafi has done that dead when you go out and speak to people and push them a little bit you do find that there are a lot of people here that are hesitant to expressed just just horrible feelings
10:19 am
about the way he was killed not to mention the fact that he wasn't of course buried forty two muslim tradition he was put on display for days and only after thousands of people came to see him was he from. annually very so so it's not exactly as it seems from afar what people feel about the jaffe we come here and actually start talking to them that however not the case in the last three of how some people very outspoken unhappy about the way jackie was killed this was really a mass media experts are telling us that's because kids out here with them to the grave to many of his secrets of dealings with the west. libya's new leaders are being increasingly accused of the kinds of abuses they were rebelling against they overthrew moammar gadhafi the number of people literally executed in the city of sirte has risen to almost three hundred journalists james corden who's been closely following what's happening says they are not the right people to be restoring law and order they never enjoyed the support of the majority of the tribes in libya
10:20 am
whereas gadhafi was obviously able to keep the country together for decades so we've gone from a regime of whatever sort that it was that was at least stable and enjoyed some of the highest living standards in all of africa so you know a regime that self evidently is incapable of keeping a country together without leaving military might give me you know backing them up and i don't think anyone can argue that things have actually been substantially improved for the libyan people in all of this so so again i'm not sure what the solution is but the i think the solution cannot be too so you have more of the problem that created this whole mess in the first place which is when you go back and you see forces all the gruesome images of gadhafi as lynching were met with cheers and applause in america's mainstream media which was quick to herald his device as the dawning of a new libya are just going to check out in finding out whether dancing on gadhafi is great is justified. it's stunning it was cheers. but the joy
10:21 am
of killing the african leaders spread like wildfire in the us media it was just a trillion dollars to get saddam and a billion dollars to get gadhafi in libya says they're going to pay back the billion that we spent to so it's going to end up being sort of preferred for nothing so let's get in on the ground there's a lot of money to be made in the future in libya there's lot of all to be produced no american soldier killed probably great opportunities ahead seems like the perfect and you were fearful of that one that's meant to be a lesson to answer i think it's sense of an important message to other leaders in the region when i tell you that these are big gators they are not very original just like saddam hussein caught amid a whole new market da he was a bad guy otoh many of us would argue how bad he was for them considering what saddam people don't increase alone fearing women's rights but in the eye of the western audience as presented by the media he was the ultimate evil it's
10:22 am
a demonization every step of the way against gadhafi in the media today always one one man becomes the justification one leader of a country becomes a justification for destroying an entire country. worth a few days the media savored the bloody medusa's. and laughed at similarities between his character in a ditch and that of saddam hussein all the cheering about khadafi killing in the eye of the public effectively or braces a bad case after the nato campaign no mention of think is a billion killed in nato strikes number which talked about the structure in the country caused by those strikes conduct his killing is presented as a triumph a triumph which can create a perception that somehow it's perfectly ok to invade a country and help its leader be lynched but if it's presented as such a success does not become more tempting to try the same methods somewhere else i'm
10:23 am
going to check our reporting from washington our king. next hour on our t.v. peter lavelle grills his gas over whether it after his death was an execution or trickle out come to libya's civil war. i just don't think there's any sign that there is a war crime involved here i don't think it's murder and i think it's it's part of an ugly process that we call war the murder was in the ambulance so far as i can tell it by a young libyan and you know maybe he should be he should be held responsible for that but i just don't think that the attack on the convoy is ago in the selfish never alluded to this was the drug american drone plane that attacked his convoy alongside a french war warplane and these two so really this was a joint french nato u.s. murder could r.p. the fact that he was technically alive as he got out as he scrambled out of his
