well. technology innovations and all the developments around we've got the future. we've been can serve them no hope for return this after a new york judge just ruled occupy wall street protesters cannot return to the cottage park so where do things go from here. in the proximately two months behind on their rent i have no idea how to catch up i like that week and i think the streets and out of those i frightened of the victim and occupy wall street protesters aren't the only ones being a victim in a debt ridden students are now joining the cause putting down their school bucks for picket signs in their street smarts to try to change the system. and from a small rally in new york to an all out movement coast to coast the voices of the

occupy wall street protesters are only growing louder well take a look back at how this movement has grown over the past few months. and watching from a distance what is the world think of the occupy wall street movement and how the protestors are being treated here in the u.s. . it's tuesday november fifteenth five pm in washington d.c. i'm liz wall and you're watching artsy. we have some new information for you in the occupy wall street movement a judge has just ruled protesters cannot return to his economy park this after a tough battle last night. this is where cancer opted in zuccotti park police tore through the occupy wall street encampment to the big protesters camped out there

now the massive arrest comes after police were told by the owner of the park the clear pecan due to health and safety concerns in manhattan judge just moments ago ruled protesters cannot return there with their tents mayor bloomberg has been keeping armed police and the parks as the city works out the legal battle this comes as the occupy wall street movement approaches its two month anniversary let's take a look now at some of the signature characteristics that defined the movement that two months in a little began on september seventeenth protesters are fighting corruption corporate greed and income inequality to name a few their motto we are the ninety nine percent they're protesting against the top one percent which they say lobby to make themselves rich or at the expense of everyone else and the movement also prides itself on being leaderless decisions are made instead by a people's assembly they've garnered support from left leaning celebrities as well as support from other nations it culminated in new york early this morning and

earlier i spoke to a lot so brian who saw the police raid firsthand since i was a rough night i started things up by asking what the reactions are of people on the ground and who give me the willingness to take a listen. but right now there are protesters that are actually at zuccotti park they're essentially celebrating the judge's ruling they're sort of telling the cops that you know by the order of new york we ask you to move one of them actually was responding on twitter that they are wondering if notices the n.y.p.d. has occupied zuccotti park and they're wondering what their demands are so they have moved back into the park have they taken their tents and their gear along with them. i don't know to tell you the truth if that's happening actually as we are speaking right now ok and you know you were there when it all went down when police started the raid tell us what the scene was like what did you see. well it was

difficult for me because i wasn't actually adds to carty when the police raided so i came immediately down at about two am and walked around tried to get access to zuccotti but the entire park was blockaded around there's a two block to block radius preventing blockades at each us preventing you know any kind of movement so at each of these blockades i was on broadway there was basically a line of riot cops the streets were lined with police vans i mean i've never seen so many police vans and of course you know the accumulation of protesters increased at broadway so to the n.y.p.d. we basically heard the chanting going on we heard we saw you know from far away two blocks away what was going on and we held the general assembly at broadway. marchers joined us from the square and and at that point the n.y.p.d. rushed us and we had to disperse and let's say you know when you see this kind of

crackdown i mean what do you think and do you see this as an attempt to silence the movement once and for all. once and for all i mean i think that they know that it's going to take a little bit more to snuff out this movement i mean i think you know like the czech spring i mean if you roll the tanks out in the street certainly you could crush a movement like occupy however i think that they're really actually trying to spin this in a way where they actually can use not only their sort of militarized civic civil force against you know peaceable assembly of people i think they're also trying to sort of spin it in the press i mean they blocked media from zuccotti from filming what was going on it's a party last night they have for reportedly cleared the air space so that you couldn't fly a helicopter over it unless you were and it was an n.y.p.d. helicopter so i mean what that is really is actually a an attention manipulate the story the narrative. alexa now that we are seeing

that these camps they're being shut down what is next for the occupy wall street movement is this the beginning of the end there or where do we go from here. this is certainly not the beginning of the end i mean i'm going to speak personally i can't speak for the general assembly but fundamentally this is about the civic space in the united states which has been fiscal eyes much like the press and every other institution that underpins our democratic republic it's been fiscal eyes public discourse is a spectacle so to or is a protest it's a spectacle well with the problems that we have the entrenched corruption that is essentially just destroying our democratic republic we can't afford to go out there buy a rubber bracelet and then call it a day or phone it in and we really have to save this nation we have a lot of a lot of problems that our nation is facing we're also going through a generational shift our leadership is completely out to lunch when it comes to

technology and surveillance and and all those kinds of privacy issues information and capitalism so this is really actually a response to that let's i thank you for coming on the show that was founder of us day of rage dot org alexa o'brien. now there is a marked two month anniversary of the movement start sense that it's seen its ups and downs it's turned peaceful to problematic camps have sprung up from small u.s. towns to big cities across the globe are the correspondent christine for that it takes a look at takes a look back at b. of all the movement you could say it started with a whisper called by canadian activist group and busters that spread on facebook. these very spot three is a. crime but before long. turned into the rule.

of collective anger of wall street corruption a growing income inequality in america and that a system in which government policy is often dictated by corporate greed before long the crowd. brought police. was. and police brought pepper spray. was chelsea elliott roosting on the ground behind the nets appeared on our t.v. days later you weren't hurting anyone you weren't blocking traffic her story brought on more protesters and a few days later seven hundred of them were arrested on the brooklyn bridge sad sad sad instead of scaring people away scenes like this i reached the masses and before long occupy movements multiplied from los angeles. to chicago. to boston was.

and just about everywhere in between forcing the mainstream media to start covering the protests they had largely ignored though often missing the point where the protests that nobody seems to know the corporate media viewed as an accomplice here's what happened when fox news host geraldo rivera tried to film a segment at occupy wall street was couldn't speak louder than chants of folks news lies and how to lead thank. god the mood grew darker as authorities threatened to clear the tent city at zuccotti park at the last minute they were allowed to remain in the park themselves was high time square was next to nothing but scenes like this is not where i am going to make you. a rock war veteran shamar thomas finding what had become in his eyes

widespread police brutality he appeared on our show a few days later there saying if you want to fight go to iraq go to afghanistan really you mean by this you know to hurt the citizens that you. you know this is kind of you know a contradiction to your take and then there was occupy oakland here you see another veteran scott olsen standing peacefully. within moments he was hit in the head with a tear gas canister fractured his skull and left him pretty good condition where a lot of the shot a spotlight now shining bright on the role of police which energized veterans former sergeant posted this photo online saying you did this to my brother he also came on our show i mean up personally no. but i know it's story all the while the protests spread much to the dismay of authorities who over the weekend if they did

encampments once again in oakland. and then put. st louis name a few and new york's zuccotti park the heart of the movement also clear for the first time since the movement began now many worry what's next for occupy d.c. there any sense of panic or anything once that happened i wouldn't say panic as much as just like it now it's time so one of the first things they did here is to clear this part of the park protesters tell me they've moved their towns closer to one another if they condense their efforts because they want to stay focused they want to stay organized i think there's a chance that some of the protesters from the other occupations around the country could wind up here on k. street because this is one of the last places a very few clashes with police in washington christine freeze out r.t. . and many young protesters occupying the global street are students many of them

saddled by enormous amount of student debt student debt has exceeded one trillion dollars in the u.s. that's more than the nation's credit card debt meanwhile unemployment among college grads is at an all time high this all makes for a recipe for thousands on happy educated young people and they're taking the frustrations of the streets are the correspondent more important i am paid to look at the problem of massive student debt in the nation. this image of twenty three year old steph gray speaks to the widespread debt epidemic among american college graduates desperate to find work right now i can't even get a job cleaning toilets for minimum wage i've tried at a local motel there's nothing i've made dumbed down versions of my resume are it's just begging for any sort of work walking around applying starbucks that's also anything like i did when i was seventeen and it makes me think well why did i even go to college if this is what it's ending up with armed with a master's degree in geography and one hundred thirty five thousand dollars in

student debt great collects two hundred dollars in monthly food stamps and sells textbooks on easy for me extra cash a struggling graduate lost both her parents by the to twelve i'm approximately two months behind on my runs i have no idea how to catch up i lie awake at night when we freaking out about this i frightened of being evicted but no matter how much she loses she's obligated to keep paying back her private loan to sallie mae america's largest private lender it took out forty thousand dollars in loans i'm already owing sixty five thousand and i just graduated a couple of months ago twenty five thousand dollars in interest came out of nowhere unlike federal loans private loans can adjust interest rates as high as lenders want and don't offer consumer protection income based repayment is not an option with any private loans neither is the firm and for the unemployed for example right now i'm desperately looking for work and selling main wants payments they want me

to pay about seven hundred dollars a month greg is one of millions of americans and haunted by student debt but very few have any other option jewish and costs have risen six hundred percent since one nine hundred eighty s. and most of the top ivy league colleges cost fifty thousand dollars per year steph curry is pioneering occupied student debt a movement calling for u.s. congress to reince. consumer protections that would keep private lenders from pushing millions of americans into default so it's the default after deforms after the fourth and once you default that's a black mark on your credit report for life because timmons cannot be discharged in bankruptcy there's legislations take this right away in two thousand and five society may lobby for years and millions for millions on lobbyists in the u.s. is nearing one trillion dollars already reportedly surpassing the nation's credit card debt and today a generation of americans find themselves in slieve to banks and armed with

a diploma that no longer guarantees a job. or not artsy. well more outrage college students in california where student that campuses across the state are planning a strike u.c. berkeley graduate student now it's bernard is here to talk about it alex the occupy cow protesters today announced this open university what is that all about. it's the opening of the students' response to to take. eighty one percent tradition which would actually be the public education in california and then the second reason we call for this strike today in the open university today is in response to police. peaceful protesters including myself wednesday night alex of what is the message that protesters are trying to send at

the u.c. berkeley campus. yeah so we've been incredibly clear about what we're trying to achieve and we have very specific demands in prague demands a very specific one thing we want is we do not want to see an eighty one percent switching. instead we want to use the regents who are individuals who run the university of california system we want them to endorse the refund california initiative which would put a tax on the wealthiest and on the banks that would replace the money that's been lost for public funding of education in addition we want to real response from the university about the be completely unjustified use of force last wednesday we're calling for the chancellor to resign immediately and we want an ex trial investigation into the police use of force and i understand why they received orders to to basically attach students who were doing nothing more threatening than leaking i'm i don't how is this playing out today what is that what kind of

participation are you. it's been absolutely extraordinary and as one of the organizers of today's events i couldn't have possibly expected things to turn out as phenomenal is they are there are thousands of students here it's about positive the taconic class today and everyone's contributing what they can contribute there are people teaching cancer crosses there are people doing teach out in sociology in philosophy in you know critical race studies there's all sorts of things going on down here and we're showing that we can have a free university we can have an open university that is that is accessible to everyone in the community and in this campus does not need to be closed in militarized the way the u.c. regents and chancellor birchenough seem to want it to be and balance we're seeing pictures now on the screen of. protests and power pointed out turned violent recently what kind of response are you getting from police for that. what i ve to

phrase turnbull i like i find to be a little disturbing in the sense that. images show police attack students not a single video has surfaced showing a student throwing a punch throwing a bottle or defending him or herself so i would think i would be crazy to be framed the protests were violently repressed by the police but the students were nonviolent i'm incredibly proud to say that i think it's very difficult i can speak from experience that you know when you're being beaten by a police officer it's hard not to defend yourself but but that is what we did and we think it's very disturbing that the university would respond in peaceful protest with violent policing and those kind of orders come from the top and we think it demands an response an immediate response from the university administration and with this protest today what kind of response are we seeing from polling if well i think that the administration realizes that it lost in the court of public opinion

and initially the chancellor said beth the protesters last wednesday were quote not nonviolent because they linked arms now the couple they did not filing that's basically said we were violent but no one on campus believes that and i don't think anyone out there looking at those videos believes that and as a result the police presence today has been minimal and the protest has been safe nonviolent there's been no destruction of property no vandalism and if the police stay away you know hopefully it will be gay people to keep. away i'm very open to questions whether the police can behave themselves great thank you for keeping us updated there about whether you think berkeley graduate student alex barnard. thank you very much. as we continue to follow breaking news out of new york right now this is where a judge has just ruled that protesters can return to the party car to the cottage park but cannot camp out there are three of them are going to court and i have been

following the story she joins us now from our studio in new york with the latest marina what is the latest out of new york. well liz this is probably being perceived as a significant blow to the occupy wall street movement i was down there all day i spent about least five hours down there in the aftermath of the police raid and i can tell you that the occupy activists the supporters they really genuinely believe that the judge was ultimately going to rule on their behalf and then they would be allowed back into the park with their tents with their tarps with their sleeping bags they really thought that that would be the ultimate conclusion and as we found out within the past half hour and as we were reporting a judge delivered a final ruling against the occupy protesters in terms of the fact that they are no longer allowed to bring their property in there to set up camp there and this is this is sort of a position new york city took new york city mayor michael bloomberg put his foot

down and said that this this this park will no longer be used as a campground and when this happens after it was evacuated after the raid took place and two hundred people were arrested many injured in this camp ironically the i'm sorry the park has been occupied for the cost ten hours if not more by police officers this scene has literally been turned upside down there's barricades all around zuccotti park to keep the protesters out and inside the clean park are dozens of protesters dressed in riot gear and also what we believe are private security officials i was asking and they were wearing orange vests and i was asking them who they were with the senate station and they wouldn't answer me it is believe that there are private security firm hired by the property owners but what this means for the movement and for the activists is that when they return to

zuccotti park it's going to be extremely uncomfortable it's not going to be the community that they have grown used to for the past eight weeks there's not going to be tense. protect them from the cold winds that will soon be approaching new york city this winter the sleeping bags will protect tarps will keep them hidden from pouring green of snow it is going to make the occupation extremely difficult for them and that's what the activists believe that ultimately new york city officials want to do they want to activists occupy activists believe that this is this is of purposefully being done to break apart their growing movement that new york city michael bloomberg wants to make the area so inconvenient for them that they will just give up but those that i spoke with say that each time the cops come down on them each time they believe that there's a case of police brutality it just gives them more inspiration. to say they received more support and they believe that come thursday when they mark the

officially mark their two month anniversary of the occupy movement that there is going to be bigger demonstrations and louder demonstrations and we should remind our viewers that one of the demonstrations includes the efforts of occupy wall street to attempt to shut down the new york stock exchange clearly that is not an activity that will go unnoticed so we can expect that this story is not over but clearly this story is changing now that the environment of the occupy wall street protesters the headquarters down by wall street has been rearranged and marina we are just getting this news that the judge is not allowing them back into the to that to the county park what kind of response are you getting is there a sense that protesters are going to comply with that order or are they going to try to reoccupy the party park. but you're getting you're getting news that they're not allowed back in the park at all is. that the judge's order.

ordering that. the towns with the tats and i mean there is yeah exactly is there sorry about that confusion is there a sense that they will comply with that or will they continue to try to occupy that area with their tents you know i asked that question to one person in particular because he was already convinced that the judge was going to rule in favor or have ruled in favor of the occupy movement and i said well listen there's nothing has been confirmed yet what if the judge does not side with the protesters what if the judge sides with new york city and you are not allowed to return with tents and sleeping bags and tarps what will you do then he goes we'll find a way to get them back in we will find a way to get them back in because this is a public park and we should be allowed to to demonstrate however we want to so i do think there will be people that will try to set up camp the way it has been for the

past eight weeks but they will be met with opposition by uniformed personnel well it will be interesting to see how this all plays out though it was r t correspondent marine corps in iowa but the latest and perhaps a lot of occupy wall street successes is its global reach we're going to go to italy protesters worldwide are chanting the same message r.t. correspondent and youth anally is here to talk about the international perspective on the movement. but i think first of all one of people don't get it because i've been living abroad for ten years and it's always people asking me how can america you know invade iraq go to afghanistan have this mission in libya nobody say anything about it so i think on one side people are surprised and on the other side some people especially americans like and see for myself are a bit relieved that finally americans are coming out onto the street and taking a stand and you see people across the globe in london in australia in european countries expressing great solidarity with this occupy movement you know wall

street is a new york obviously it's a right if you will from other countries care about what happened on wall street to the point where they're willing to take that the streets of london the india of rome. because the message is the same we pay taxes and people all over the world agree with this so-called ninety nine percent movement that ninety nine percent of the population pay taxes and have a right to have their voices heard which they haven't been heard in the past years it's the same thing in europe the same thing we're seeing on the streets of london of athens in italy people demanding that the government work for them that they're voted into power through to create and through pursue kind of what the people want them to do and that's not been happening another thing of course this movement of why should we have to pay for bankers in the states something that the whole world shares at this moment and the people out in the street certainly see that and i

think that empowers them in a sense that they know the whole world shares this problem and people across the globe are ready to come out and speak out against it and this comes at a time we're seeing other protests around the globe in greece you worry for me and france at the g twenty how would you compare the occupy wall street movement to some of the other movements that that we're seeing around the globe. well i was actually in new york last week and i do have to say that it was relatively calm although the developments that we've seen certainly today are the exact opposite of that if i can say one thing that i think differs from european process than from new york protests and i don't think that's going to stay that way because i do think that we're going to expand it's really this kind of just complete takeover of a city bissau and during the london riots early this summer we saw it certainly in greece it hasn't gotten that crazy to have the n.y.p.d. come out kind of in the middle of the night and raid the protestors on

a low street seem silly to protesters who pursue a far out on the main square in athens where you see kind of fire bombs being thrown just chaos we haven't really seen live in new york so really the european protesters really get out there and i think watching from abroad it's fair to say that they seem really peaceful in new york and i think that's also part of the reason that some european fellow protesters might be surprised in terms of the the clampdown that we've seen by officials in new york and across the states and in oakland as well that there was one thing that i think characterizes european protests and arab spring protests compared to the united states that they're a bit more chaotic but that might not stay the case for a long time and you know in new york and in other parts of the u.s. where things have gotten chaotic one thing that protesters leave we've heard them chant is that the world is watching you know while they're being arrested i need is

the world watching would you say that they are watching. i think the world is watching very closely but what i think people are are opening their eyes to is fair to say is the double standard we see all of these protests in north africa not so much in europe because of course there you have a lot of american allies but complete praise for the democratic revolutions across north africa and the middle east in particular and then when it happens on wall street you have officials say get but how the assad sanitary we need to clean up that's breaking laws and then you have the police department and mayor bloomberg going in contempt of court we have a court ruling saying that these protests have a right to be there but still they find a way to kind of go through that democratic loophole and say yes here we have democracy we need to have organize protests when they happen in egypt per se where it's chaotic and thousands of people out in the streets that's really the fight for real democracy so i think the world is waking up.
