they're climbing their territory in hopes of taking back the country occupy wall street movement is gaining steam once again after protesters rallied together for a day of action so what was the results and could this be the new dawn of the movement we'll have a report on the war. the streets the pacific. and we are here to stay. here there and everywhere never mind a trip crippling economic crisis to make matters worse u.s. tax dollars are now headed to a top secret base down under tonight we'll speak with a woman who broke into the facility. all of

a responsible small entrepreneurs' its hopes and dreams you know hang in the balance because it's style bush political interests want to start from here it's an all out food fight in washington d.c. major restaurants trying to kick food trucks occur or in this case off the curtains of the nation's capitol because something about competition leaves a bad taste in our mouths. and good evening it is friday november eighteenth eight pm in washington d.c. i'm christine for and you are watching our team. so the occupy wall street movement today enters its third month yesterday of course marked the two month anniversary two months of demonstrations and occupations thousands of people around the world demanding a change to a system they say is dominated by an elite class who embody the ideals of wall

street money power and corporate greed all main street continues to suffer yesterday also marked a change in the movement two days after zuccotti park was raided by police and tents and large bank packs were no longer allowed back inside so we want to look at that this talk about the future of occupy wall street and what it will take for it to survive artie's on a sausage you're going to reports from the big apple. if you mean tsunami tens of thousands of people flooded the streets of new york. hundreds arrested dozens beaten dragged and abused by police thousands more protests across the u.s. on thursday the feast of america's civil war against corporate greed and wealth inequality zuccotti park the place where occupy wall street was born looks nothing like it did just a couple of days ago officials were hoping that a victim of protesters would put it to the movement but this has backfired

a day of action brought more people out onto the streets with more bigger than ever before it's absolutely historic we haven't seen something like this in america thirty forty years and it's history repeating itself. when you perceive that have two months of this if you can make two months after occupy wall street kick started in the big apple in your thirty's decided to keep protesters out of their camp bloomberg expose themselves as the clueless out of third world dictator that he would like to be this forceful addiction only added more fuel to the fire the way that we were sort of discarded like trash that our civil liberties were really run over by our billionaire mayor has galvanized a lot of people another more powerful stage of occupy wall street out of being campaigns and over the city said we are absolutely at stage two i think what happened yesterday was we show the world that we are strong we are not burst and

we're we're angry about what's going on and we want we want solutions protester see the lack of a campaign the presence of police violence and the fact that officials remain deaf to demands only empower them more they don't store the sun. which is going to own. their desire to stick by each other it's now stronger than before take the place for a living thank you for being. a new dawn for the occupy wall street movement is on the rise with their future. and i started drawing me just a short while ago with a little perspective on the occupy wall street movement what's gone on and what else we can expect or you know christine the way this movement has transitioned is probably one of the most interesting things about occupy wall street we've seen not only the faces of the protesters change or they're certainly they've gone from sort of the younger student type looking at her kists as the media really like to call

them from the beginning who came out in dozens and a couple of hundreds and a lot of them were not certain that they would be able to last until december as they had promised in the first place when this whole movement was only beginning to gather their presence has definitely gotten a lot stronger not just the numbers that we've seen yesterday where thousands tens of thousands of people were protesting here in new york city and across the united states their message has definitely gotten a lot stronger some of the people were sort of on certainly knew they were angry with something they couldn't quite articulate what it was but this is definitely not the case now when we speak to the protesters down there these days certainly everybody knows exactly what they're disappointed with they want specific changes and it looks like they're not calling it not only going to stick until the december deadline but some are saying they might see even longer until the real change occurs in the united states what about you you mentioned there's been sort of

a changing face of this movement we've seen a fluctuation in the numbers some days there are thousands of people out there on the street some days just hundreds there in new york here in d.c. sometimes it's hundreds and i was dozens what do you expect to see in term are people losing steam. you know that's what some of the sort of skeptics and those who don't like the occupy wall street movement were hoping and that's certainly what the city's mayors officials were hoping would leave it to the park and redid zuccotti park they were hoping the protesters would not come back but was as we saw this do of action yesterday they actually ended up really you know hurting themselves because what ended up happening is all the people that got kicked out of friends who got really mad as well and the numbers multiplied by the thousands and certainly we saw this in court these incredible crowds are out onto the streets yesterday and it looks like this is something that's going to take a new sheet the occupy wall street movement now seems likely not just to be

a camp that's positioned there and sort of is there all day all night it looks like now they're going to be more sort of organized vague marches and rallies but not sort of on a daily basis and some people are saying that this could only make the message much stronger because what we saw yesterday was pretty unprecedented for the last several years for sure and i know as you're speaking to us we've been showing this video of police you know throwing people down in the street arresting people to move them out of the way i'm wondering you know that aspect of it certainly we've seen in new york in oakland from the most memorable biggest cases of police brutality police involvement however we think when we talk about the messaging more your mayor michael bloomberg held a press conference i believe this morning outside of a hospital because that's where one of his officers a twenty more four year old police officer had been admitted after being wounded and sort though it seems sort of like people that are against this protest are sort

of trying to change the messaging war and fay you know these protesters are hurting our police officers talked to me about that. well you know i have to say that's probably of big if for now because especially in bloomberg case i'm sure he's a little worried to see these incredible numbers come out on to the streets of new york they have been trying to see that the media as well not just new york officials that protesters have been rough with the police and things like that but we have to remember that billions of dollars were spent by mayor bloomberg on police overtime for police officers to be able the hundreds that we saw out on the streets to be able to sort of resist these protesting so he's certainly not valid concern about their well being if he is spending injecting these enormous amounts of money into making sure that these protesters are are surrounded by these enormous numbers of police that was artie's on the south here charkha. well another

question related to the occupy movement is not just what will happen but how it will be covered by the media only took a few weeks for most media outlets to send in the camera crews to cover occupy wall street as a serious story even when they did they had their own interpretations i want to show you something from sean hannity on his show last night on fox news channel. we are dealing with part of now a part of the global socialist movement what we see here violence rape arson destruction of property sex in public national beijing in public naked people drugs drug paraphernalia you know the american ism in the seventy's i mean capitalism all right so there are many who say the mainstream media has it all wrong they haven't put in the time or the effort to understand what i lost readers all about among those people who are i was very activist just jesse has had a strong presence there and we talked about the next chapter. or you're seeing is

a movement come alive you know we've come out of our infancy and we're starting to put our big boy pants and figure out exactly what we want which is interesting is that you know it makes me think of the civil rights movement when people would march down the streets one day in the next year there were people there i could feel that they would have the same feeling goes at the end of the civil rights movement in reality the people who are in the streets are still in our province are going away so we're not going away we're just going to take on a new activity and kind of evolve as a movement to effect as much change as we can argue by wall street though in many ways has come to be embodied by the occupations themselves in campaigns people staying overnight in squares in parks in cities around this country and a lot of those it's not just several of those camps have been dismantled were dismantled around the same time by police officers they're not letting people back in what happens next then and i think it's interesting when you compare to the civil rights movement or what happens next if the occupations are no longer. well

you know forty years ago they tried throwing rose a partial as a bust now they're trying to throw us out of a park i think that the people involved in are by way of. finding creative ways to be involved whether it's putting a tent down are marching through the streets or being politically active this movement's going to continue to transform so i think yes we should try to be as visible as possible if you can put it down i don't see why there is any war against doing so but we also need to be moving beyond just having to staging gillie protests actions and find new and creative ways to force the change and reform that we want in this country as well as another police around the world i guess i'm just wondering is that in the works i mean certainly you have been so active in new york in occupy wall street in zuccotti park in terms of the general in some ways in terms of actions and things that are planned not just for the next week or so but for the next several months are there things in the works that you see will translate into action into actual change. but i mean there are

a lot of laws that people in occupy wall she would like to see and acted we need to find the most effective way of facilitating that change whether it's through elections or running around candidates or you know just finding a platform that we support but i think the trick is to get people out of the streets talking to their neighbors whether you're putting its head down in the streets and i think the conversation was off i think that people who are participating in our general assemblies are talking about this on line they'll have their voices heard and once we really get together we'll come to an agreement on the best course of action so you know we were just in phase one which was you know kind of the infancy of our movement now we're kind of getting into a grammar school let's say and i think is the most go by will become more refined and more focused in our. efforts and hopefully we'll be able to travel quite a bit i want to talk about one of our favorite subjects death even mainstream media

and how they have been covering this movement i want to play something that was on c.n.n. just a few days ago and i'll get your reaction. as well was. exactly what we have to do is make sure we bring the jobs. and make sure that there's justice i do because anybody who's going to. listen to you is this is this type of the just really achieved anything at all other than just one thing traveling. people to get to their real jobs. all right so just on one hand you have this reporter saying this protesters as a really achieve anything other than blocking traffic and preventing people from getting to their real jobs things like a little bit of a dead on the reporters part but on the other hand i mean isn't it fair for people to be annoyed for people who actually do have jobs and are prevented from going from people who are late to work because they're sitting in so much traffic because the roads are blocked. you know going back to the civil rights movement i can

imagine that the people of birmingham alabama might have been upset that the traffic got blocked for a couple days you know if you're going to be ten minutes late to work but you have a better chance to earn a quality income i think it's sacrifice worth making so no one said this was going to be easy no one said reform was going to be easy or change would be easy and i think that if the least sacrifice people make is just being caught in traffic for a few minutes there's a lot you know it's not much of a play about as far as the media's coverage it's rather frustrating i'd say you know the c.n.n. clip that you just played obviously the reporter doesn't want to talk about the bigger issues about the crimes took place while she wore the way corporations bribe or politicians or campaign funding he wanted to talk about the innocuous stuff like trash and you know let's be honest that she already was protesting corporate taxes being too high i'm sure c.n.n. has given them quite a lot of positive coverage and were saying the corporate taxes are too low that they should be contributing as much as the average person of a corporation is

a person why don't they pay higher taxes like we do so i think c.n.n. . at least in this instance has done a very poorly disguised job of deflecting from the issue when in reality we all want this conversation to take place and i kind of c.n.n. and fox news another that we should be more honest in their cause which let's find out the now about sort of. the evolution of the movement let's call it and there are people that are worried because i have to say you know in covering this since the first day over the last two months the protesters for the most part especially in new york where you are have really really been piece. what we signed yesterday michael bloomberg of course wanting to highlight that one of his police officers a twenty four year old police officer was wounded was in the hospital while working to try to keep our eye wall street protesters out of the street and he was injured is there a chance that in order to get the message out that this is going to turn take

a turn into a more violent uprising. no chance at all the moment this becomes officially violent i'm done with this movement and it's not going to happen i think that there are some people who would suggest that and i would say that they should be taken seriously what we're doing is engaging in civil disobedience in a nonviolent manner throughout the country we've been protesting for two months and there's been only where strange incidents have nothing to do with the protests itself so i think that we will meet here in the civility that we've maintained and i think that the best way for you know us to avoid any issues is to have the police and observe us and protect us instead of bringing weapons in right here you know it's very frustrating to me that the police were right here and people surprise if there's violence the coverage often says protesters clashed with police when it ought to say police attack on our citizens so to me i think the coverage is skewed i think if the police were directed in a better way by mayors lately in bergen police kept in secret kelly that we would

be able void these unfortunate incidents that none of us want to see take place in our activists not if i was three protester death we were back as you have been one of the most articulate and outspoken voices and you always appreciate having you come in our cell to weigh in on president obama spent the last few days in australia and while i was there he spoke to the australian parliament about the united states' commitment to the asia pacific region no doubt sending a pretty clear message to beijing take a listen as we end today's wars i've directed my national security team to make our presence and mission in the asia pacific a top priority as a result reductions in u.s. defense spending will much. a repeat will not come at the expense of the asia pacific now we may not know is australia is also home to a highly secretive sophisticated and large military base it's called pine gap and

from the outside it looks kind of like there are twenty six huge golf ball looking in tennis and i believe it is information central with intelligence being distributed from this base all over the world including to u.s. commanders in iraq and afghanistan and they have had a central role in the two thousand and three shock in our invasion of baghdad now donna mulhearn is an activist who actually broke onto the property at pine gap she was here a little bit earlier and told me why she felt it was so important to do this or we did that because we felt they had a right to know what was going on and because it's actually a secret base and the treaty that governs its presence in australia is actually sacred and even astray in members of parliament and not permitted to know what goes on and so as a strain to be thought of this is not right if we live in a democracy we are still have to have a sort of things accountable to to our parliament and to the people so we would have we did what we called our citizens inspection for suspected terrorist activity

and so we dressed up in our white coats and our hats when citizens inspection changed our coats just trying to make the point that we want transparency in this country and we don't want any secretive activity going on especially activity that so. they grasp the gravity of that being involved in the war in iraq without that activity being an accountable to the government and to the people so that's why we went there to raise awareness and to highlight the role the point that well done how far did you get and what did you see. well we didn't get too far because we were arrested by quiet well our security operatives from the secret service and also the united states secret service so we didn't get too far but it was very interesting in just moving through the knives through that place is located in the middle of a struggle he gets it right in the center of australia and it's a very key place and it's just running twenty four hours and we know that if

he's got it it was like a heist. and so when we were arrested there was quite a fuss made that we had got that far and the security forces there were very alarmed that we had actually managed to penetrate. and that was the what was the following what were you charged with and what we sentence with here we were arrested and charged under an act of parliament that has been used if you can two years and that's not in your mind given special undertakings act and the sect was designed back i guess in the cold war era to suppress information about secret places in australia so this act of parliament was dusted off and used for us for the first time ever and so we faced ten years in prison in fact we were we were charged and arrested and convicted and we didn't get such behavior penalty although the government did appeal prosecution but in the end we also appealed because now i

commit was that it was a miscarriage of justice our conviction because we were not allowed to present any information and any evidence that we had gathered from experts about the role of function of mind because we were arguing that it was not for the defense of australia and we were not permitted to bring that information into the court room so even in the end we were acquitted of those charges that's what i want to ask you don i mean why australia i mean the us does seem to have bases just about everywhere around the world but if you think of you know countries that the us has no problem with at all i still you would be one of them so there's got to be a reason why this is the location of this highly secretive sophisticated base. well this is cheering since one of them is that it's a convenient location in terms of the functioning of the satellite bases so it's in the middle of a straight and has a cleave you with the the space and the satellite systems that it needs to have

access to so logistically it's a good position but i think the other main reason is a political one and that is there's a lot of talk going on at the moment between our politicians about how we're best friends and how we're the closest allies of all countries and at one stage a former prime minister john howard actually called himself sheriff to president george w. bush which are largely because we would actually prefer to have an independent foreign policy to be the deputy of another country so i think one of the reasons is because that's america knows that it can her lawyer on a strategy is politicians who are quite sycophantic towards the united states at the moment i'm wondering what your reaction was i mean our president has just spent the last few days in your country we just played the clip about the commitments that no funding that is cut will impact the u.s. presence in the asia pacific reason region one what was here you and the other activists i'm not sure if you're still in touch with them but what was your response to hearing what president obama said and to see that that relationship is

still extremely strong. we were quite shocked by the announcement that was made this way it will be a new american military base established darwinian star use nor with two thousand five hundred marines now to be permanently based in australia now these came out of the blue and astrologers are still reeling at the decision and this announcement because we're still trying to figure out what exactly this is going to maine for australia but one thing that we're sure of this is not individually just of al contrary to that was peace activist donna mulhearn in sydney australia. well tonight a story about big business and powerful people wanting to make sure they stay that way and find an interesting example of this right here in washington d.c. there's a battle brewing between some of the big the stablished restaurants here and a new way of dining that has become advertising to so many food trucks it's actually hard not to see them these days they're parked on the curb in just about

every quadrant of the city and there is literally something for everyone but not as some of the more established people have their way i wanted to look deeper into this here's what i found. i was six or seven dollars. a little less than my. friend for your place because you could call it a restaurant on wheels we have plenty and that and pumpkin they call it a traveling coronary carnival which i did a little song and that's. the full brothers is the first ever food truck in washington d.c. and they they were in the business on korean happiness the photo brothers served their first batch of korean happiness on january twentieth two thousand and nine the day of president obama's inauguration and have been going strong ever since but in the church i had twenty one with the butter chicken in the length also from

california so we had a good food truck but nothing like that oh indian food truck wednesday and we'll check all twitters to make sure they're here we come down in lines a little bit long but it's totally worth it while it started out as a lone soldier in the food drop world has now become a small army it's estimated there are now eighty food trucks in the washington d.c. area alone and with an average of about five people working on each that is more than four hundred jobs here there are jobs that are now under threat by people working in a more traditional and well established restaurant community and we're involved in a lot of those cases and old fashioned david and goliath conflict according to attorney bert gall he's leading the effort to put a stop to britain water restaurants trying to put the brakes on their new mobile competition ultimately it's about the little guy entrepreneur who is he has fought so hard to start a business and all those faces a challenge from some of stablished politically connected powerful competitor who

wants to squash the entrepreneur he says is the transit now spreading across the country and raleigh north carolina food trucks must part more than fifty feet away from. restaurants that are not allowed in the downtown area in new jersey there is a one hour duration restriction and trucks must operate one hundred feet away from one another and three hundred feet away from brick and mortar restaurants and roving restaurants or vandal together in the old town district of monrovia california all of our cases and small entrepreneur whose hopes and dreams you know hang in the balance because stablished political interests want to start from competing stop him from entering into the marketplace there's been several police and we've had business. the police thought by being like they're not but the part they are you need to move every two hours because the mirrors are two hours even though everyone knows that if you put more money in the meter you can stay there

for now those in washington d.c. are safe as the back and forth legal battle plays out behind closed doors for the lobster truck i've been to three of the large rides these three barbecue. with the korean taco. crate truck or if it's a kosher deli on wheels you desire or mac and cheese cheesecake they're all here we can get. food trucks is a very washington social phenomenon because we get to enjoy each other's company while we attain the food but we get to avoid the social anxiety and waste of time of actually having to share it with. a phenomenon now under threat by those whose hunger for power may prove greater than the public's new found out a tight for competition that you say we're going right with our government in washington d.c. christine freeze out our team. and be sure to turn tune in to our team next week for a brand new line read all about it or maybe you won't in the u.s.
