5:06 am
there are in the movement are diverse as as we've ever seen it before and they represent a larger scope but there is a political agenda to fight back against this growing brew movement and this is the more the that political agendas that advance the more they tried to quiet the movement the more they tried to isolated the group the big arena grows and the in the stronger grows and we know that they're not going to stop the motivations they're the movement is real the message is clear and the diversity is very clear within that movement so maybe you're not going to see camps where you're going to see more protests are going to see more actions are going to see more targeted approaches we're going to see people move from one set of organizations to another set of mobilization and i think that that's very important for the keys here thing is not that because they're in one place and because they have been dispersed that this movement is over that it was only about a sort of occupation but this movement has a real interest and real immersion behind it there are particular messages that
5:07 am
have to be the literate and as long as those messages and that action has not cost change. the longer that this movement will continue coming up later this hour a success or failure. i'm hopeful that they'll continue with their efforts and they will give two months approaches doesn't do anything because you can't change the bikers mind the tent up we head out into the streets of new york to find out whether the occupy movement is likely to leave a heavy footprint on u.s. history. but first italy's new prime minister mario monti has unveiled his plan for sweeping economic reforms after winning a final confidence vote in parliament he called the situation in the country a serious emergency with rome currently grasping for stability against the financial gales of europe's debt storm he now faces such challenges as ending endemic tax evasion and attempting to kickstart growth this task however will be
5:08 am
made more difficult by. he's euro crap political pedigree which isn't sitting well with many italians concerned with brussels influence meanwhile over in spain which is coming under similar pressure the mood also tense with economy dominated parliamentary elections set for tomorrow but in madrid there is even less certainty with no candidate offering a comprehensive solution to reaching unemployment and financial stagnation as our. reports. there are two main parties contending for the elections at the moment the socialist party which has been telling me in spain right now and the party most analysts predict that the people's party will win a majority of the vote however over the past couple of days that we have been observing this is the here in madrid who does not look like any party will actually with a majority vote and here's why the postcards have been springing up here and they're encouraging people to leave the plane basically that is an indicator of the fact that people seem to have become disillusioned with any opportunity says they own
5:09 am
their political table as a matter of fact the socialists have been in power for the last several years and they have been the people who are essentially being blamed for not noticing the economic downturn for not reacting to the crisis properly and plunging spain for a while now just a reminder the country has one of the highest employment rate in europe it's more than twenty four percent according to one of the spanish research companies in september alone four thousand people have been losing their jobs in spain every single day more than five million people in the country do not have a provider for their homes so of course when you look at this extremely weak situation in the country you lections a lot of people believe will not make a difference and hence why there have been numerous protests out in the streets people from all walks of life teachers students professors so whether or not the votes will bring forth the accountable results waiting all the results of course
5:10 am
remains to be seen and unfortunately for screen a lot of people believe the situation will get worse before it will get better. as the spanish look for a leader capable of resulting the nation's many problems the real solutions may rest with more than just one person according to analysts and political offer on words. but the whole experience you see of the recent crisis demonstrates the impossibility of unifying economies which were pulling in radically different accidents they all agree that is and there's a need to do something just when it comes down to the concrete to propose of what is to be done of course there's not no dream of the top all one to guard their own interest the impossible that all bankers that is to say of course that that's making a big fuss and sort the finns were that way sure that saw the germans we may be witnessing the beginning of a process which could lead to the breakup of the not just of the util but what of the european union itself which was a pretty rapid consequence of every country in europe including germany but we are

bashar al assad earlier britain was reportedly approached by jordan to spearhead a diplomatic campaign against the president's regime pressured by the arab league damascus has agreed to allow international observers to enter the country and help stop the bloodshed but the violence shows no sign of letting up with reports that at least. well civilians were killed when security forces opened fire on protesters after friday prayers meanwhile france has already said it's too late for the regime to try and save itself by carrying out reforms war correspondent eric margolis says it's all part of a build up to outside intervention and. it certainly looks like the beginning. i'm surprised frankly turkey is the side to go in. trying to. grow its neighbors to the jury that's the key to washington is.

authorities attempts to break down the movement laurie harvest also known as the resident takes to the streets of new york to find out what legacy the protests are likely to leave. as the occupy wall street movement achieved its goal of creating a shift in the system or is it slowly becoming a blip but history probably won't remember this week let's talk about that i think they've brought some attention to the issues that nobody really wants to talk about so. if it becomes cut part of the conversation i think they've accomplished something but there's still a lot of work to do i'm hopeful that they'll continue with their efforts or they will get maybe it to people think of i won't make a big difference so i think we'll think about it for a while and then go back to. the bikers minds put a tent up but i think that's one of the problems no one really knows what their mission is either because people lot of problems do you think if they had
5:23 am
a leader that would help them define what their movement and i think if they were that organize a job that wouldn't be so later on wall street i'll be honest with you how do we know what the message is so clearly they haven't communicated bad rap not at all so how is it going to get out in history. i don't think there will be much made in history down the road i don't think it's going to be there it's not significant pace or feel like it think it always is to everybody something they feel passionate about significant but to others it's not every revolution starts with someone just getting to sort of to say i don't care what happens to me i'm going to make a change and then hopefully other people add on to that so what's the next step how do they add on. i don't know i guess you get the middle class that's kind of comfortable that doesn't see that is a real problem because they're comfortable you either get them involved or uncomfortable if you think that they're going to go out with his parents now and i hope so because then i'll i'll feel better about it because the worse conditions
5:24 am
they endure as we go along i think the more i'll feel supporting of it that they need to go through a little bit more and then has to be able have a chance and i don't remember them two months protesters in doing it but you got to stick it out whether or not you think the occupy wall street movement has achieved its goals the bottom line is it will be interesting to see if the protesting continues when the snow arrives. take a look now at some other stories making headlines across the globe venezuelan president hugo chavez has deployed national guard troops to help police curb violent crime which is threatening to spiral out of control more than three thousand soldiers were sent to the streets of the country's capital and to surrounding states and israel has one of the highest murder rates in latin america a figure that's tripled over the last jacquet despite remaining the country's most popular politician ahead of next year's presidential election chavez has been criticized for his record against crime. former
