we've seen in other cities like oakland in california or new york indifference that is police used tear gas on people rubber bullets sound cannons pepper spray no this time they just performed arrests no injuries as far as we know but still almost three hundred peaceful protesters arrested there were people refused to leave the park surrounding the l.a. city hall which they've been occupying for the last eight weeks some demonstrators climbed into the trees to avoid addiction police were using carry pickers to take them off those trees the occupiers in l.a. received an eviction order last week officials are citing sanitation problems and property damage as reasons behind eviction order we've seen this happening all across the u.s. under different pretenses authorities have been taking protesters out of their occupied locations in philadelphia police in riot gear confronted demonstrators arresting around fifty people about fifty people who refused to clear

a street over the last two months around five thousand occupy protesters have been arrested across the united states the movement is generally very peaceful their message was all about nonviolence from the very beginning and to the credit of the occupiers even as life spread arrests were taking place and there were lots of emotions involved of course there and we're bogged down there this man for any fear that the message of the movement would banish together with peds in those parts the message being against corporate greed against corruption in washington he could make inequality and excesses of the u.s. financial system going to reporting from washington how these latest arrests in l.a. bring a total across the whole occupy movement to almost five thousand but now police are starting to distract to the other side now there's a lot of the reason for not has been finding out why some people have been choosing

a tremendous fear of losing their job being disciplined being fired and then what they do everybody in the ninety nine percent has a fear and police officers also they cannot risk they have children. what would they do once a fire there are no jobs available the nighttime raid on zuccotti park and subsequent arrest of dozens of journalists covering the story are among many reasons captain lewis says he temporarily transplanted to manhattan that's about as close to a dictatorship when you actually the media. as with the papers around the world and that is very scary gudel scare tactics such as pepper spray the tongs and flash grenades canisters have been used against occupy camps throughout the us oakland california resembles something of an urban war zone this fall leaving a war vet in critical condition and the eyes of an eighty four year old burning from tear gas but oakland police officer fred chavez is the only active cop who's

gone on record with his support but totally agree with. you told us they were talking broker i am a part of the ninety nine percent for the most part people are peaceful they want to see chase many believe the biggest change could calm when or if u.s. law enforcement officials stop suppressing the right to assemble and begin supporting despite his arrest captain lewis is back at zuccotti park showing unwavering support for the occupy movement standing roughly ten or fifteen feet away from him a group of new york city police officers yes they're here securing the area but some are beginning to show the interest for the first time i had an officer break ranks yesterday at the barricade line a white officer named officer mower and introduced himself and he started asking if you question i said you know the risk you're taking and he was so brave they said this is still america and until a supervisor ordered ordered me back to the line i'm going to talk with you i hope

a punitive body. it is not that they have nothing to say it's just that they believe their voices are being silenced as story is three hundred thousand strong russian minority has been protesting at what they describe as the language inquisition some of these people either lost their jobs or are under threat of doing so because they are forbidden from speaking their native language soonish the so often cursed so we were never applied any restrictions on languages it's done in so we are free to educate in their language nowadays the authorities have almost banned the russian language from schools besides our russian companies don't have qualified teachers who can teach physics chemistry. in the latest twist five workers at an orphanage were fired for not being able to speak a story into the children that's in a town where ninety six percent of the population are ethnic russians. i don't want to sound rude but as long as we're leaving this country we have to live by the law
