protest movements in the u.s. gaining ground at the gap between the ninety nine percent and those in power is growing wider are t. talks to anti-war activist bill ayres for his take on how to achieve change. parties in chicago sitting down with radical activist author and former professor thank you so much for joining us today pleasure to be with you so let's get started to protest really in the united states we've seen the arab spring we've seen the uprisings in europe we've seen occupy wall street in the united states what do you think is really the face of modern protester in the u.s. today well i mean i think occupy is unpredictable but wonderful development and it comes directly out of the arab spring i mean it the idea that people could actually make a difference is is infectious and so occupy came out of madison madison came out of

ten years square tahrir square came out of bradley manning and wiki leaks so we kind of can see a. real development where people are saying you know the world as it is is not the world as it must be it could be otherwise and when people feel that way they get into motion get into action very exciting very you know hopeful we have obviously critics of occupy wall street who see the main flaw of the movement is a lot of attention all unified message do you think that kind of message exists apart from the obvious occupy wall street what is it really about well i think people are mistaken in with that kind of criticism occupy is not a point of arrival it's not a manifesto it's not a demand occupy is an invitation and it's an opening of the public space that means that every grievance every complaint as well as every aspiration and dream can find a place in a new open public square i think occupy already has accomplished something amazing

which is is shifted the frame and how we discuss wealth how we discuss war how we discuss austerity the metaphor of one percent ninety nine percent is a marvelous metaphor but as usual power responds to these kinds of peoples in a pattern that is predictable. they ignored occupy for a while then they ridiculed it then they tried to co-opt it with language like what you're that man and then they beat it up and then they repeated that's very typical of how these things happened but occupy is not going away it's morphed it's transformed so occupy is a marvelous thing and it's still evolving and we shall see occupy also seems to sort of police violence and unrest that we haven't seen in a while in the united states and every time there's clashes like we saw here in chicago it seems to be the protesters saying the police are violent the police are saying the protesters are violent who is right what we see in our whole society is the militarization of our society so when nato comes together for example for

a summit. this is an organization all wearing suits and ties all speaking very quietly but they can't they represent three quarters of the military budget in the world three quarters are represented by the nato kind of g eight world and and that's violence that's institutional violence so in chicago when there were clashes between nato demonstrators and police. we have to also note that that the city was incredibly militarized that is there were tens of thousands of police in the streets gear that nobody had ever seen before you know troop carriers buses transformed into military vehicles we take for granted in this country that the military must be under civilian control if it's under civilian control it's a dictatorship what is nato under how is nato governed who takes care of making sure that it's not a military dictatorship and the problem is in many ways it is obviously people are quite annoyed to say the least for the fact that like you say millions are spent on

a summit billions are spent abroad on the wars whereas obviously a lot of people are still not in the best economic situation do you think i mean what is this all about is there a huge disconnect between those in power and the people or is the. kind of purpose something that's purposefully being done and i think both are true but is there a huge disconnect absolutely what is nato if it's not kind of a fig leaf for the united states nato in europe for example has two hundred sixty tactical nuclear weapons those are not allowed under the nuclear nonproliferation treaty but they're allowed because nato is not a signatory it's a way around the law it's a way around common sense but speaking of a disconnect yes there is a disconnect twenty seven percent of americans support the war in afghanistan and we can't end it this is true now for seven years no one wants it eleven years ago when the war started we could have said this is a police action to get the people who did nine eleven but know it was an invasion

in a war we overthrew a government where we eleven years later they're now talking about negotiating with the taleban they and moving out of afghanistan but leaving four billion dollars a year in american aid that's an outrage and it should be an outrage that's why only twenty seven percent still support that war but we cannot end it that's a disconnect between power and the people the first time we interviewed you four years ago you said you wanted to create the biggest anti-war movement in the u.s. are you closer to the. occupy wall street part of the energy of occupy is in part an anti-war energy it's an energy that says our priorities are all messed up our society is off the tracks spending trillions on war every couple of years while we ignore basic human needs privatizing the public space destroying the electoral process under the term reform reforming everything from public schools to elections

to pensions and what reform is is a kind of a cover for destruction so yes i think that the anti-war movement is represented in the occupied moment and my hope is that we continue to evolve and grow do you think with the wars the us is fighting its. sort of beyond its means cannot really sustain those wars steps. and you know one of things that happened in the old soviet union was it spent itself into destruction and i mean you cannot arm at this level and have now create the conditions for an arms war with china with india with russia with all the countries of south asia that's an outrage that we are now entering into a new arms race which is going to spend us into catastrophe it's anti-democratic it's not what people want it's not how we want to see ourselves and it's something that has to end when you think about the u.s. and nato missile defense plans is that necessary absolutely unnecessary i mean if

you think of all the toys and gimmicks and and war materials that are being developed what are they for i mean why a hundred fifty american military bases abroad what are they doing who are they in circling so now it gives itself permission for preemptive war for war against non-state actors which can take the form of any country it wants to invade so nato in afghanistan nato in iraq nato in libya these are illegal immoral and unnecessary we're hearing war drums beating over iran lately a lot do you think we'll see the u.s. embark on this new military escapade it would be a catastrophe for everyone if the united states or nato which is just the united states fig leaf or israel went into iran and attacked iran there we can live in this world as a nation among nations as long as we insist on the old colonial mentality that we can dominate other peoples we can tell them how to be and have

a double standard that's just so grotesque so we're frantic about the possibility that iran might have a nuclear warhead some day meanwhile we have two thousand nuclear warheads and that doesn't make us frantic israel is the third largest nuclear power in the world not part of nuclear. hard of even admitting that they have that this is a world that's dangerous that's you know unstable but it's not unstable because of the run there are so many better ways to be a citizen of the world than to shake your sword every time you feel like it for the us has the biggest military budget in the world a trillion dollars a year what is really the necessity we understand that if somebody had tax you have to be ready to defend yourself considering many people and critics of us warmongering say the us actually starts these boys it by itself builds this long list of enemies well that's my view my view is if you look at my whole. lifetime

sixty seven years the u.s. has been engaged in a war virtually every year and the wars are primarily wars of invasion and aggression and occupation we can all now look back and say well that was illegal immoral a tragedy three million people were killed six thousand a week were killed in that unnecessary war mostly civilians and the u.s. did it i mean it it it made it happen under a lot of guises of bringing democracy and so on and there was a wonderful sign in the demonstrations recently that said you know if you want to build democracy someplace build it here and i think that's true peace is the answer and it begins here we have to cut back our military budget we have to close our foreign military bases we have to become a nation among nations that the goober nation exerting our will everywhere we have the us elections fast approaching four years ago a lot of people in the us were really hopeful that barak obama would become sort of the real face of change a lot of americans now say. that is not happening democrats and republicans seem to

be the same side of one coin what should we expect is it naive at this point for anybody to expect some real true change come election. for wins those elections i think we have to build. movement for change i think that's what brings change if you look back even in our fairly recent history it wasn't lyndon johnson although lyndon johnson passed the most far reaching civil rights legislation in history he wasn't part of the black freedom movement he was responding franklin roosevelt wasn't part of the labor movement and yet he accomplished all that labor legislation and social legislation and abraham lincoln didn't belong to an abolitionist party each of them was responding to movements on the ground what we need if we want peace is to build a movement on the ground that could bring about real change from the bottom and that's what i think we should be concerned about during the last presidential elections obviously your name was talked about

a lot by the mainstream media what do you think is going to be the main controversy this time around that one thing that we know for sure is it money is always corrupting in politics not just here but in russia and europe everywhere money corrupts politics this election season in the united states is going to see an absolute tidal wave of cash come into this election so last time out the obama campaign spent a half a billion dollars this time each campaign will spend over a billion and it's hard to believe that anyone can look at that and say this is what democracy looks like i think it's what plutocracy looks like rich people throwing cash around buying votes buying legislators and it's an unseemly and and certainly undemocratic so i have no idea what the controversy will be but you can be sure it'll be dirty and it will be expensive.

performance but not so good was the russian shooting team they came to these olympics with great hopes but on saturday they were a bit off target first loop of gallatin to fail to make the final in the ten meter air rifle a real shot considering she got the gold and silver the last two were lympics also her compound. didn't make the final but she finished last in math and afterwards she said the. she just couldn't handle the pressure while dennis cole of suffered a surprise or early exit in the men's ten meter air pistol but also struggled to find form as russia's top ranked tennis player. he went on bennett a the frenchman in the first round at wimbledon well there is better news for videos of on of the over she is three after beating. of sweden so there's been an awful lot going on and that was only the first day and i haven't even had time to mention the fact that there were early wins for russia's women in the volleyball beach volleyball basketball and on sunday there's more chance of gold on the today mat with more is

richard. a stunning victory by our single has got russia's campaign of these two thousand and twelve olympics off to the best possible start but gold images are high hopes that russia could perhaps double their tally home adjourned amounts on sunday as most of competing in a sixty six kilogram category gets his competition underway what he's running to in the old man has competed well in the world championships over the last few years even despite he's competing in his first ever big games but tension on sunday will also switch to the boxing ring this sport where russia traditionally very strong even though they didn't go things didn't go as well as better perhaps hopes in beijing four years ago where they were only able to pick up two golds but they'll have. going in the sixty kilogram category he's trying to fit in the world so there might be a few hopes for to get perhaps get unself on the podium but anyway r.t. for top of the boxing legend and former olympic champion lennox lewis he gave his

views on how russia might fare in the boxing ring at these olympic games we're going to have to see because this is a competition you know when you look professional boxing most of the eastern bloc countries are doing well boxing so this time i believe that the russian boxing team should do better everybody action continues of the teams forwards for russia on sunday as for very much fancied for men's fall. able to take the colts of iran second in the world as well as face stiff competition from the likes of brazil. usa as well as the competition gets underway into the latter rounds but certainly they'll be looking for a medal also britain's basketball team will be coming up against the russians in a much anticipated and. the russians probably won't be able to get a medal podium you have to play out of the skins are going to do so but certainly will be hoping to get their competition off to the best possible start has been a couple of busy days for maria sharapova of course she carried the russian flag

obviously ceremony on friday and she'll get her singles competition underway on sunday as she'll be looking to complete a grand slam really of golden grand slam while she picked up a fourth grand slam title complete percent of the french open earlier this year and show be looking to try and complete descends by winning a little big gold here in london in two thousand and twelve so it could be a golden opening weekend for russia and we will keep you updated with every throw you can punch the team has got to offer andrew farmer. london well the i mean day of competition soar surprise in the poll one of the greatest olympian of his generation swimmer michael phelps failed to claim a medal in the men's four hundred meter medley it was american compact ryan lochte who stormed to gold phelps went into the race is two time defending champion having won gold in beijing four years ago beating his own world record in the process however he was beaten into fourth place his teammate lock to put in a dominant showing the twenty seven year old finished
