and the world's top was a lower julian assange reveals more secrets in another blockbuster interview this time poses tough questions to the new president up to the judge who was swept to power by popular uprising so watch it later today on r t. l the occupy wall street movement protesting against what it calls a global economic system and corporate greed is planning a general strike in the u.s. that's we talk to a london occupy activist who says the group is only gaining momentum as more people understand they're being robbed by their governments. well here are some polls cathedral in london from where the occupy the london stock exchange me was fairly recently evicted the movement appears from where i'm standing to be on its last legs but luckily jamie can see for you from occupy london is here to convince me otherwise jamie thanks for talking to us today now
12:32 am
you said yourself and i sort of feel it to you that this place is almost home to the tenants used to be right that just where you're standing is the occupy movement dad's absolutely no it's obviously one of the things of the comp moving is that we're allowed to put a lot more energy into the movement itself was actually becoming very difficult to sustain the kind has it become very large if you bear in mind that five months ago none of us the way the count would last this long was still developing our ideas of how to move forward how to use outreach to the movement to generate solidarity and otherwise really of reaching into the public consciousness to get across a very simple idea of social environmental and economic justice so we've only just begun in that sense for that it's no coincidence that we are head in one of the financial hearts of london the london stock exchange just not very far away from here it's all bankers all still being paid that bonuses as we hear about in the newspapers every day the one percent appears very much to be still in charge have you had any impact absolutely i think that there's been some measures by the
12:33 am
government because we have such an influence on the public view of the financial system that there has been you know a leading banker who's had to turn down his bonus and. suffrage was made to turn back his noise to such a but i think that these are just palliative measures i think that the government realise that there's a lot of public support for the issues that we're raising awareness about and so they've taken some measures to make it look as if they're doing something you're absolutely right in terms of the one percent remain the one percent that's completely on top. also if you bear in mind the fact that last year of the hundred top foot say the average high royce's forty one percent this is everything is business as usual you're absolutely right but what's different is people are now aware about this people are now entering this dialog and they're beginning to challenge the assumptions challenge for a very very long period it's all in which is that can we continue with such an unsustainable undemocratic unjust economic system safe occupy looks kind of like
12:34 am
a sort of for that party for people who have something to lose. people in the willing to sacrifice in order to achieve that goal is very interesting question actually people are sacrificing their jobs their relationships not by attention many people lost their homes i've never been in a movement where people have that dedicated the general portrayal of us as being people who you know joe blow some of the dole losers is absolutely. the opposite to the reality the reality is that a whole spine of people from across the general public have been motivated to dedicate themselves one hundred percent solution now this is means that a very small proportion of so actually experienced activists and by far the highest amounts of us are people who just from ordinary want to life is gone that i want to make a stop and we have to do something about this unsustainable system and this is the movement for us to do that is five months now since you came to this area let's talk a bit about your goals a lot of people seem to have a very limited understanding of what you're actually trying to achieve his take mr
12:35 am
x. ok when we took this space so much of the fifty. i would appear to forty eight hours and about three and a half thousand people took part in generating what was called our initial statements so really within forty eight hours made it very clear what we would hear such as are some of the more obvious ones. questioning what we see as an unsustainable economic system and on democratic economic system. a political system that seems to be working just ways profits before people it's intertwined with the corporations. we also question the idea of regulated both days being managed by the people that meant to be regulated we also question the idea that perpetual war for resources is something that's going to destroy the planet so we made it very clear we now use our ideas to the rules you know within forty eight hours an economic system based on infinite growth but which relies on foreign oil resources is frankly absolutely embarrassing let's broaden this out space and talk
12:36 am
a little bit about the global economic situation if you like through the prism of you and me and the european project is constantly in the papers and it looks like it's on its last legs how do you see it playing out. what we see that as when i say way i mean i'm speaking as a member of occupied but it's very clear from the movement from the beginning that the economic system is on its last legs the global economic systems on its last legs about knowing months ago now we had a leading triage on the b.b.c. news lawyer who said very clearly that governments don't rule the world goldman sachs does so it's very clear that what's happening in europe what's happening in greece is is just a symptom of this disease and this disease is going to continue to get worse unless we actually as as people as a grassroots movement actually take control ourselves of this economic system that's been run by very few people and it's just been completely out of control by fronting about this gentleman who was saying that goldman sachs rules the world is
12:37 am
he was reveling in it he apologized for it but he was reveling in it because he said if you understand the situation you will know how to make a huge amount of money out of the global collapse now for any human being to be in a situation where they can benefit hugely. from the suffering of the millions and millions in the world we should be embarrassed of being part of that same human life and we should be embarrassed if we sit by and do nothing about it seems. like occupy would be in support of bailouts of countries like greece and thinking about the solidarity. that kind of thing but interesting question i'm not even i'm one person in it but i actually are not sure that the movement would support by laying out exactly where we're standing at the moment was the famous tent city university and we had a evening of solidarity with grace and there was about fifty great people rammed in here it was a fascinating noise and they kept going back to a very interesting point we are in
12:38 am
a third world war and it's an economic war and the weapon is debt and it was a fascinating thing to say about revolutionary fries there i think the movement is moving more towards a. solution to the situation we're in rather than a reformist but there's still a lot of balance balance between the three but i think it's slightly slightly revolutionary now if you look at revolutionary it's much more to do with the idea of dispensing with with open eyes actions like the i.m.f. dispensing with all these organizations that have rules and regulates it the way the finance of the world is run because we believe it to be completely corrupt completely in the pockets of the people i meant to be regulating and moving out on the same with governments that completely intertwined with all these financial decisions they have an ear for corporations they have an ear for global financial institutions much much more than they have an ear for the people of the country they're meant to be looking often supporting so in the situation of what's happening in grace and then coming out with a statement the third world war is here and this is an economic war and that's that
12:39 am
weapon is debt that really rang a bell with a lot of people. if you look at iceland now there's something that's quite inspiring in a sense that they absolutely ignored what i've been told to do they didn't go for being bailed out and anyway in fact at the moment they crowdsourcing their constitution themselves they dispense with all the leaders they believe to be corrupt and were banging their saucepans just like in argentina until they had a leader they believed in and they go much further they're actually now chasing and wanting to bring to court those bankers who brought the country to death in the first place so let's talk and control themselves and their. very very well until you get that source of crowdsourcing really work on the next mill and international scale yes now in terms of a national scale with iceland they simply crowdsourcing that constitution themselves and it's it is managing well digital technology has absolutely revolutionized the species and it certainly revolutionized the way that we move towards radical change and activism. and it's only just started so the fact is that
12:40 am
you know i can see in the future within a long time the situation whereby there's a form of a form of global referendum that's that's due to digital technology if we have that i think very quickly the leaders and the people who run the financial institutions in the corporations will be put to shame because when they hear the voice of literally the knowing you know one percent of the planet was annoying to one point nine percent rate then they will be put to shame they'll be put into the shade in the dealy that got governments in various countries to obviously a paste c.e.u. occupying place. on a course in which the us is reportedly rolled out what he's calling a microwave weapon to disperse crowds are you making plans for dealing with a kind of technology in this country has last year they bought a large water cannons to disperse this dispense with demonstrators a right to first and i think that's kind of a scare story i know it's true that the military in the states may have bought this weapon that can use sound waves to kind of disempower people who might be in the
12:41 am
streets i think that's a symptom of something far worse that's coming ok paul is the canary in the morning as far as we can see. but eventually the rest of this world will realise that they've been dropped and that they are being put into subjugation by completely on just undemocratic unsustainable financial systems and they will. become furious eventually so i think those kind of weapons may well be something to take much more seriously in say six months time or eight months time in this country the austerity measures haven't really hit as hard as they got into so whether it's easy for big. so you just stay within their own little bubble if you don't mind the words. into their actual lives comes right into their doorstep and through their front door and cuts them away from the launch that they used to then i think that will be an enormous growth in people who are trying to find this kind of economic justice that occupy represents. its value to the future of the occupy
12:42 am
movement is escalation and solidarity in other words that we will continue to generate more creative ways of bringing a message using direct action and using using the media but also we were quite sort of more and more solid that would say that as more and more people come and join us when they realize that we are all singing from the same hymn sheet. to a substantial degree and one form or another socialism has spread the shadow of human regimentation over most of the nations of the earth. and the shadow is an approaching up on the fringe. of the early twenty first century military bases a network of military bases all around the world for misleading empire that the

his opponent japan's noble hero ishida initially feel to me that weight that put the five in jeopardy but if she didn't manage to swear off the extra kilos in the given two hour time limit his team said a combination of confusion over the time and use of his own skills beforehand were to blame. it was a miscommunication i got the way into and confused i also use my own skills before but see it's not a big problem. i sincerely hope the fight will be dynamic and spectacular simply because i've heard he's here to win and do everything to achieve this he's not going to duck all run so i'm looking forward to an exciting fight which will go we'll see in the ring. sprinter dwain chambers and cyclist david miller could yet get to represent the home team at the london olympics the court of arbitration for sport overturning a limp back a lifetime ban for them and other athletes this week the british olympic
