7:23 am
mission is other than because people lot of problems do you think if they had a leader that would help them define what their movement and i think if they were that organize a bra of jobs and would be swinging around wall street i'll be honest with you i don't know what the message is so clearly they haven't communicated bad about not at all so how is it going to get out in history. i don't think that we'd be much in history down the road i don't think it's going to be there it's not significant they should feel like it's significant it always is to everybody something they feel passion of how significant but so well there's 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 they're going to go out when it starts now and i hope so because then all i'll feel better about it because the the worse conditions they
7:24 am
endure as we go along i think the more all feel supporting of it that they need to go through a little bit more and then has free will have a chance at running remembering them two months protest. i'm doing it but you got to stick it out but there are not you think street movement has achieved its goals the bottom line is it will be interesting to see if the protesting continues. let's take a look now at some other stories making headlines across the globe libyan authorities claim may have detained the colonel qadhafi son saif al islam and said he was trying to escape tunisia where with two aides when seized by the military a similar claim was made during the rebel siege of tripoli but was dismissed after after saif appeared on camera at appropriate the rally he's one of those high profile political figures during his father's rule and widely was expected to have been his successor had. a nurse has been charged with murder after
