10:03 am
the crackdown against this peaceful movement there have been pushing matches something masters from the police and up to this right here where i'm standing just about thirty minutes ago hundreds were blocking the sidewalk and attempted to get on the street at that point the cops now began pushing and shoving the opposite this one said to the other we're going to get them soon insinuating that it might be some type of arrests but at this point there was no larger crowd gathering and walking through lower manhattan as this. is underway beginning on wall street the heart of the i never have you know there's been a wave of police raids on several occupy camps throughout u.s. cities but it doesn't seem to be taking the wind out of the protesters sales all about much in fact the protesters there in new york calling on other action to go on cities around the u.s. and the world but take us through how they're trying to make their presence felt.

10:05 am
and corner support nationally and internationally for the grievances that have been forced by the occupy wall street movement so we'll be following this story throughout the day we'll be updating our viewers around how what how things are proceeding we're going to i know you have your package to read into before you get to that they say they want to occupy the subways is i mean they're trying to keep people from getting to the subways or just protest at the subway stops one of the actually talking about their. open book i'm talking about specifically is the fact that the optimists are going to be inside the subways fighting and at different platforms handing out information about their movement in forming people what occupy wall street and the occupation movements nationwide are all about how is that it's not just stuff it's not just about people sitting in parks and camping out it's about trying to seem to the u.s.
10:06 am
system that is where this movement all began eight weeks ago and if we do have my report by play that out and update our viewers what is transpired in the past eight weeks true we're going to wrap it up there thanks very much art he's a marine important life for us in new york thank you. well robert david. and former intelligence officer the u.s. government that maybe citing some of the violence you can't screw all of the people all of the time and get away with it goldman sachs and the banks and the u.s. government have gone way over the line in terms of being irresponsible. what we would call r c corn. this is also not a u.s. organization it is a global organization and it differs from the tea party in that the tea party loves the republican corruption they just don't like the democratic corruption occupies against all forms of corruption and one of the nicest things about oakland is that they have developed a very fine technique for basically researching and photographing all prior known
10:07 am
police officers and then signing them when they're undercover the police are not good at undercover work but i still remember introducing the u.s. government to hackers in one thousand nine hundred four in the u.s. government undercover president consisted of two guys with very short hair white t. shirts shorts and black shoes that was their version of undercover at the time and we also it was very sunny the u.s. government actually stinks at clandestine human intelligence and it stinks at counterintelligence. what they're doing though is they're inciting violence there is a massive information operations campaign against this group. and of course the corporate media in the united states is completely owned by wall street and in the next hour rapper immortal technique tells us why he thinks the occupy movement is about american civil rights. the idea of america is to give
10:08 am
democracy and freedom to people but i think that now more than ever it's become about placating people and about supply so they don't put the amount of freedom that their parents are almost like when put into that you seem to know your rights that happens more and more i mean even if you want to make this entirely about occupy wall street and even the people that are down to each and every single occupy wall street that are sitting there holding the law that little clique still see this civil rights every single this ill see excuses left and right now we want to clean the ball so we're going to have to move everyone out. britain are reportedly being urged by jordan's king abdullah to take the lead in a diplomatic drive against syria after the u.k.'s key role and bombing of libya's colonel qadhafi international pressure continues to pile on president assad who's
10:09 am
been given till saturday to help crackdowns on protesters or face further isolation this is russia warns against anyone taking sides or he's our planet has more from london. britain's been picked as team captain along with france quite least one arab country to lead a libya style contact group now their task at the moment is a diplomatic one to coordinate policy between arab countries and the west and what will be a verbal offensive putting pressure on prison and sad it could indeed end with him being forced to step down over details of this most following a meeting between the british prime minister david cameron and king abdullah of jordan earlier that that took place earlier this week in london king abdullah is actually the first arab leader to publicly called for president assad to step down that he's believed also to prefer britain and france over america to lead any such mission because of their success they had in libya where they led military intervention that ousted colonel gadhafi now there's no mention of any such
10:10 am
military activity with syria at the moment at the moment this is clearly the offensive is clearly verbal but that is of course how the libya intervention and an operation started is already several similarities france and will have already recalled their ambassador from the masses and of course the timing with the militarization of the opposition which would make any kind of intervention a lot easier to support now russia they see it as a two way street because both sides are guilty of violence the free syrian army which is one of the main opposition groups that in syria the moment is largely made up now of defectors from the syrian army. we suggested in order to put in place all countries concerned with a peaceful outcome of the lawlessness and serious should demand not only from the syrian authorities but also from the opposition to stop the violence the ongoing attacks on government buildings in syria look like a civil war. and what could hamper any dialogue is the patience of the peace brokers the arab league which is already approached britain to lead
10:11 am
a lead list of contact a contact group suggests that this could be a last ditch diplomatic attempt by them. as we've heard the political sounds are shifting in the region with many of syria's neighbors taking measures against the assad regime. there are fears that those these moves may actually make the situation worse. so the arab league votes and then a senior turkish official openly discusses the possibility of imposing a buffer zone on the syrian side of the border to give same shri to refugees in other words direct military action boy repeatability it's an aria that seems likely to get the nod but it is not a demand for reform it is. a good thing which is very. very risky to the whole region even in israel syria's archenemy some would rather aside stayed in power but we also have been doing us
10:12 am
a favor israel israel favor of course is not understood this way calmly but eventually begin to. control the very go and put the pressure on assad continues to mount tookie which once supported his government says it plans to suspend joint oil exploration and is considering stopping electricity supplies to syria just the latest in a long list of sanctions already imposed on the country the sanctions may be a way for the powerful western countries to exert some sort of pressure over syrian government but really the people are the ones who suffer by not being able to have medicines by now the have certain technology is there may be required to save lives one human rights group the syrian observatory one buffer zone and a libyan style no fly zone but western leaders have realized that unlike in libya they cannot push for a no fly zone at the u.n. security council this time around because of russia's how to veto it and while the arab league has stopped short of calling for syrian president bashar assad's
10:13 am
departure critics say the stance is nothing short of hypocrisy they have no democracy or at least they don't have some of them they don't have. constitutional and at the same time period. and to. develop their democracy that they're having ironic and. what's more assad is shown he's willing to conduct reforms his government announced the release of one thousand prisoners after previously green to admit five hundred arab league appointed observers this is you know a sign assad is is still in he still concerned about what his neighbors think and he still. under some sort of willingness to negotiate but it's not clear the arab league has the patience to listen and neither to western leaders who decided a long time ago aside needs to go and without the option to do it through the united nations the arab league is then we expressed option police here are t.

10:15 am
convinced that nato will step in either with or without u.n. backing to topple assad twenty three percent say nato wouldn't get involved militarily out of fear of sparking a bloody new war in the region the other fifty think syria is too strong and assad has too much power to be overthrown and about the same about taking nato will intervene and oust the sod with u.n. backing that's how it stacks up right now log on to tell us what you think. thousands of greeks are taken to the streets of athens in a warning to the new prime minister lucas papademos this is a live pictures from the after the streets you're looking at is anti austerity protesters are who are to force home the message to parliament that years of recession tax hikes and budget cuts are in their will in their eyes unacceptable thousands of police are monitoring the demonstrators here and you will rally commemorates greece's bloody nineteen seventy three student uprising that helped topple the country's military junta although the day usually descends into violent
