an associate you're going to talk to occupy activists and war veteran scott olsen on the state of affairs in the u.s. today and the changes that have taken place since the beginning of the occupy wall street movement. parties in chicago catching up with war veteran and occupy wall street activists all say after serving two tours of duty in iraq scott became an icon for the occupy wall street movement when he was severely injured in the head into one consciousness. at occupy oakland protests where in two thousand and eleven protesters clashed with police. wabbit wabbit. but you know what you're. right. scott thank you so much for joining us today you're one of dozens of war veterans who have

returned their medals to nato generals here and chicago throwing the medals and into the direction where leaders are meeting what is the reason for this is do you feel betrayed i really do and betrayal as big as facts are i think you know we all join for our own reasons well join the military for our own reasons you know one thing is that as common as we join something to do good or to help other people to be part of something bigger than ourselves and to defend our country and when we went over to iraq or afghanistan or whatever our service was it saw that it wasn't true and we were deuce destroying people's lives we were doing good work in iraq or afghanistan and that's why i don't want these medals because. they represent something that is not important to me it's meaningless to me and i'm not

proud of being part of a system that is has killed hundreds of thousands of iraqi civilians some as we're proud of and that's i mean to get a an award for your injuries occupy oakland. the police talking about the fact that veterans really sometimes to get injured after being injured abroad do you think that's the case. there i don't think there are more of us runs getting hurt here but you know there are a lot of veterans getting hurt by the system that is you know in the sense that they come back to a broken system a system that they feel disconnected from and that's why we're having a thousands of veterans a day commit suicide that's why we have so many homeless veterans is that system that's. hurting veterans what do you think it is that billions of dollars are being spent on us more fair as we speak we are seeing a staggering number of homeless and jobless veterans here in the united states

because there are. people are making money off these more's their you know getting money for our government to buy their toys to buy their equipment and to fund these wars and that's how they make their riches and there's always money for war but we never of money for schools or nice things here. for kreutz soldiers such as yourself to do the bidding for them abroad are sensually lying to get people to join the military about the reasons behind the wars the us is involved. for military recruiters. they at least mislead people. they may lie to you but they will mislead you not give you the whole story and that's why it's so important if you will join the military to talk to as many veterans as you can find and get so every point of view as you can get tickets and you already has that

and there is a. thing most veterans wouldn't recommend against some of you joining. you know it's it's a life changing thing and you know i take my joining that bad. because made me who i am i would not recommend anyone else to make this mystic it's going to be easier in september since wall street first kick started what status is the movement and now what should we be expecting next big as it should be it could always be bigger and louder. branching off into others strategies to that may not be quite as visible. creating worker owned work or managed businesses that are really going to take the money away from money bore into corporate. and i think that's going to be a real success for the future of some critics of the occupy wall street movement are trying to undermine the substance of what it's all about really by saying that

they're still mostly here on this unified strong signal yes. what do you say to those well you know anytime there's a large number of people demanding change and the system feels great and they're going to attack us in any way in every way. and we do have a message i think everybody who comes here has their own message it's very common we're getting a short on this we're working and we're getting what we really deserve we're working. and we work more than most other countries in the world and our. salaries have now gone off in years our corporations are making billions every day . and. our retirement pensions are being cut our schools are being cut and. sceptical when people are making billions of dollars one of the things the

occupy wall street movement is demanding is accountability for bankers and c.e.o.'s on wall street do you think that's sort of naive in a sense expecting this. after the economic crisis why still to map this out i don't really know if you are going to get the real change that we're looking for just by asking. us to be forced to change and our government may know invokes some small change. banks will always find a way to screw us over there always find ways to maximize their profits and their and maximize their profits without actually doing any work so take that money your take is from somebody else presidential elections in the us are just around the corner and for years after barack obama was elected people critics are now saying that basically there is no difference between the democrats and the republicans

that they're both two sides of the same coin are you still expecting any kind of change to take place after the elections regardless of which one of the parties wins. numbers or clearly i think. most likely we're either going to vote. for a democrat or republican and i think both of those are wrong choices they're both working for the same system that they both take money from the same people from the same banks and and we you can see in their policies that they are rewarding their donors and. voting for their continuance of policy is not going to change anything at all so considering both democrats and republicans essentially bring the same thing to the table what is the alternative what would be the other option do you think for the united states. that's a good question i mean you know you could vote for third party that may not win i

mean you make voting for a third party is a wasted vote but i think voting for a democrat is a wasted vote i think voting for a republican is a wasted vote you're shooting yourself in the foot if you will vote for either of those when the occupy wall street movement first started the mainstream. i was trying very hard to undermine the protesters they were saying that it's. dirty hippies and later trying to say they have no message there was constant criticism and trying to not take the movement seriously almost a year on since it started do you think how do you assess the way the mainstream media has been covering what the movement is all about i mean. i guess they've covered it more than i was expecting them to i was expecting much. and that's why we come here and we build our own media that we need we build. and we live stream these events for everybody to know and to find out what they're missing out on but it is a shame that you know your everyday american is not going to see those things

you're american you know. news they don't hear about these things just like they don't hear about the wars that we're. americans like they don't really know that we're really at war they are affected by these things. it's funny. good old started here before going global and now it's cooling myrow.

a little sport and thanks for joining us peace hour coming up in the program. russia's goldfish they do it over. and continue the country's twelve year domination of synchronized swimming. another success in the aquatic center becomes the russia's first olympic diving champ and since the sydney games claiming that. spring balls. and two point three eight rushes one of these then you tell him to champion in the men's high jump winning the event in style. the london olympics first where russia has moved up to a fifth in the overall medal table after grabbing and the other three golds on delavan all the competition came in a flat six diving and synchronised swimming with more his rob it's hard enough.

wriggles won silver and won brooms day eleven of the london two thousand and twelve summer olympics has proved to be one of the most fruitful for the russian team with a first victory resurfacing in the super nice swimming pool not. a martian a produced in the flawless performance to win the do its event and prove the country's domination of the sport to the two thousand games in sydney russia has been the nation to beat both in dues and teams competitions. it was a brilliant showpiece and romesh had a very complicated performance and they did their best it was clear for both the judges and the crowd they were head and shoulders above their opponents they are one of the best us in history and now we all keep our fingers crossed for the team competition where we should add another goal to our tally water has been truly the russian's element on tuesday with another gold coming in derby as

a kind of stole the show in the man three metre springboard to follow the footsteps of his compared to it and one of the sport's great. and bring his country the first olympic gold in the savannah since two thousand it is the fear of second medal at the summer olympics as before he claimed silver in the men's synchronized diving with the beginning was the soft and russia's third gold on the day game in the men's high jump with the two thousand and eight olympic champion not finishing only twelve the golden baden was passed on to his compadres even to claim his first major outdoor title at the age of twenty six and we're staying with the track and builds because after yesterday's disappointing bronze medal in pole vault russia's even the symbol of a backtrack on her plans for a term and in chase for the third olympic gold in brazil in twenty eight sixteen. i think it was god's will that only one goal is here. as if he said to me it's not

time to retire yet you've made the podium again and it's well worth celebrating too but you should now focus on preparing your next olympics then you win your third gold there. he says those three goals there were two more medals to make the russian teams on the day even more impressive. top of the graeco-roman wrestling silver medal in the ninety six kills meanwhile. her second broods of the games the latest coming from the floor exercise really great performance for the russian who also goes home with the gold and silver. r.t. london. while yet another bronze came for russia in the man's weight lifting a bag of shrugging off his recent shoulder injury to make the podium in the one hundred and five kilogram of ant so it was no mean feat for a bag of ice

a lift to just one kilo less than silver winning. share of money while fellow is running it outside of me. took top spot in what was the final weightlifting event in london. and now in women's basketball russia through to the semifinals following a sixty six sixty three victory over turkey in the last eight years old where after the fifty one old but very sickle of charges. at the very end back at home and top scored for the winners with nineteen point russia will play france in the last for the czech republic seven two want to six or eight in the semi usa will take on australia. now where four time olympic champion you see him bolt easily qualified for the semifinals by winning his heat in the men's two hundred meters he literally jog that second part of the distance sending a strong message of these challenges if there are no of course the world record

holder hopes to retain the tie. claimed the previously i also chris hoy has become great britain's most successful olympic veteran cyclist winning the men's pairing event to pick up his record six to gold the thirty six year old scott also boasts a silver in history of the case i think the relief from delay when you cross the line and here you know i had my shirt when i threw the break it was a link i wasn't sure how to or not going to this roof mcraven realized that one of . these ideas hard expressed as to how. amazing the experience was but i think it should when i got the podium and i'm really able to hold it all in but for the experience that was. now russia hoping to bring in some much needed precious matter when the rhythmic gymnastics gets underway at the london games r.t. said with two thousand sydney gold medalist to liberty call before the current russian contingent tries to repeat that success.

it was a dream come true but the moment itself felt almost on a real when i was standing on the podium receiving my gold medal i just couldn't believe it was really happening to me it took quite a while for the realisation to sink in that i am an olympic champion. of the sport has changed a lot since my time it has become even more difficult judges now pay attention to many things they didn't before for example during our routines we often catch the ball without watching it behind our back with our legs before you want to wanted any points for doing things like that but nowadays you do. get us to love with i'm sure russia will claim in limpin gold and hopefully even soda in london like we did four years ago and i think our girls could even prevail

in the team event i wish them the best of luck. with all kanada has a great personality she's the most decorated gymnast of all time but she never let that go to her head she's so humble i want to hear olympic champion you've achieved everything in the sport but she said i still have a long way to go i want her to win her second limpid prayer because never before has a rhythmic gymnastics claim two golds at the games. on. the board as a slogan. is a true mastermind behind russia's domination on the mat but for her i wouldn't have one of them big gold that's for sure because the coach and the rest of the team are just as important as the efforts and as he puts into his performance whenever i come to russia's training base outside moscow i just can't believe my eyes

facilities there are just great and venus so energetic the sport means the world to her you know she keeps goats back at home and every now and then she would treat her face to the milk she's just incredible. i miss that. well the twenty twelve summer games in full swing the whole history of the olympics is available in the heart of london's cultural life the royal opera house resilience correspondent robert father naan took the olympic jony back through the centuries. looking through the entire history of poland big games from and sometimes to more an era within just twenty minutes this is the only place where it's possible the one point well olympic museum these pictures paint a thousand words artifacts from athletes who competed thousands of years ago the all seeing gaze of the king of girds zeus who discouraged any cheating then would throw in time to find ourselves in the office of period that could return the man

and that can't be good if i'm not only here but it's very happy to be a part of this scene i mean the call that. amazing i remember watching. legend absolute legend and i'm so pleased to be able to see had today it's just wonderful but it really made. a little bit for the new york to london. finally let's move away from the olympics because didn't have book to play of sport for football's champions league the korean so i claiming a late one will victory in water going into the match the how you knew they needed go through progress after losing the way like two one last week they did dominate possession chances came and went begging for the dutch team keeper moxon caldwell worked wonders to keep his goal intact with frustration growing among the pots and

home crowd missiles were counted on to the pitch much to deny most discontent but they were swiftly vindicated as brown blasted home the only goal of the game in the six and a last minute of stoppage time so did number one three one zero negra good and then now just one the victory away from the group stage. because it's all the sport for the good buy. secret laboratory tim curry was able to build the world's most sophisticated robot
