if you're just joining us of. course reviewing the case of a controversial. friday december the protests. continue. hopes for the. border between.

the country. and war veteran scott olsen about whether any major changes have been made since the onset of the occupy 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. occupy oakland protests where two thousand and eleven protesters clashed with police. wabbit wabbit. shot. 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 the leaders are meeting what is the reason for this is do you feel betrayed i really do and betrayal is the biggest facts or 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 you saw that that 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 this also means we're proud of and that's i mean to get a an award for your injuries occupy oakland clashed. the police people talking about the fact that veterans really sometimes to get injured or to injured why do you think that's the case. 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 as why we have so many homeless veterans is that system that's . hurting veterans what do you think it is that when billions of dollars are being spent on us more fare 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 is always money for war but we never 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. 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 if you already know those that are there is a. thing most veterans wouldn't recommend against somebody joining. it's you know it's it's a life changing thing and you know i would 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 a sense by wall street first kick start what status is the movement and now what should we be expecting next to go out 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 the corporate system 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 almost here on this unified strong signal yes. what do you say to those you know anytime there's a large number of people demanding change and the system feels great and they're going to attack us and anyway 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 but 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. the 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 several. 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. for his change and our government may know in 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 and save his 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 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 that's. a good question i mean you know you could

vote for third party when i mean. 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 on the occupy wall street movement first started the mainstream. i was trying very hard to undermine the protesters they were saying that it's a bunch of dirty hippies sad later trying to say they have no message there was constant criticism and trying to not take the movement seriously almost here 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 in this but they expect too much. and that's why we come over here and we build our own media that we need we build websites that anyone goes on 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 your american who you know turns on the six o'clock news wrote it don't hear about these things just like they don't hear about the wars that were civil and most of americans like me don't really know what that we're really a war they are affected by these things. by forty acres and nineteen million. and decide it would be a great place to find myself a home and retire. there

she is. we call it our new neighbor neighbor nine o seven. we have seventy acres and i can't convince them that they need to drill somewhere besides two hundred feet from. the needs of our group. we're going to be also means expanding our domestic production of oil and natural gas which are vital fuel for transportation electricity and manufacturing this is one of the problems before we do. change. you know our flows are not toxic and we get a lot of there's a lot of mis understanding of what eggs actually in these fluids. time they said you can load here unless you come out here and live in my house for a week. i have no rights.

i don't thank you for joining me for the latest sports on day twelve london olympics the top stories. in string crushes due out of the shank of russian a continue the country's twelve year donation of synchronized swimming gold at the undeveloped picks. golden dawn you can hear as a culprit comes rushes close a limping diving championship in sydney to. take in the men's three need to springboard. out of gold leaf rushes even to halt the heights to become the new olympic champion in the nice high jump. so let's go straight to the olympics where russia's men's basketball team are i mean for a place in the semifinals as they prepare to take on this you when you're at the two arena in london russia how to finish better than the olympics since the breakup of the soviet union while if you haven't finished lower than the semifinals in the

last four some games they're about to face off in about ten minutes time under the winner of this match will face either france or european champions play in argentina face result in the whole of south america not jump in and fight when some top seeds the u.s. let you finish group play with a five no perfect record straight out in the last game the tight. one in women's basketball rushes through to the semifinals following a sixty six sixty three victory over turkey in the last days it was all square off in the third quarter fifty one all for the second the charges were a bit better at the very end if you come in top stories for the winners with nineteen points and the last hole russia will play for the czech republic seventy one sixty eight while in the other semi the us side will take on australia. for me while russia moved up to fifth in the overall medal table after climbing another three goals in synchronized swimming diving and a flat six on the day eleven. in the fall favorites. and i started on national produce and almost

a flawless performance to win the do at event russia dominated the do it as team event in a sport that sydney two thousand. it was a brilliant showpiece issue 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 while directly as a hard off the gold in the men's three meter springboard russia's first winner in this event of the olympics for twelve years is the heart of the second medal at these games after claiming so but in the end synchronized diving then you could see that sort. of russia's third goal came in the men's high jump even group of things his first outdoor title defending champion and i so not was twelve. and as well as those gold rush i also took silver in the men's greco-roman wrestling wristband

proper when she was running rock ninety six. and you know the stuff in our time per second bronze at the games in the floor event to follow up gold on the i mean even. while russia took another bronze in the men's weightlifting. struggling or shrugged showing off i should say a recent travelling one hundred kilograms went in saw her with just one kilo more her stepdad should have won the iranian had the rb winning. well meanwhile following a disappointing bronze in the women's pole vault rushes yelena isinbayeva has reversed her plans to retire and aims to chase a third and gold in twenty sixty. three to mark i think it was god's will that only won bronze here as if you said to me it's not time to retire yet you've made the boardroom again. and it's worth celebrating too but you should now focus on preparing your next olympics then you win your third gold there. and in the

meantime four time olympic champion you signed bolt easily qualified for the men's two hundred meter semifinals with a comfortable victory in state he literally talked to the second half of the distance and a strong message to all of his challengers be hoping to time the title to the beijing four years ago be brought out west so chris hoy has become quite britain's most successful ever olympian as the best the cyclist was here in advance to pick up his record six gold fifty six minutes before suppose so but if you cut this relief from the delight when you cross the line and here i roar you know i had my shot when i threw the bike across the length as i wasn't sure about it or not going at this roar from the crowd and realized that one. is already as hard expression so i think i really amazing night experience was but i think i should when i got the podium and hasn't really been

able to hold it all in but what experience that was. in the meantime russia are hoping to bring home more medals when the rest make gymnastics gets underway in london you know bustled about one gold at the sydney olympics in two thousand and assessed compunctions chances of repeating that success. i guess it was a dream come true but the moment itself felt almost on 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. playing the sport has changed a lot since my time and 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 i

wanted any points for doing things like that but nowadays you do. yell get us to love with i'm sure russia will claim an limping 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 the 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 crown because never before has a rhythmic gymnastics claimed two golds at the games. the board was a slogan yesterday intervener is a true master mind 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 courage and the rest of the team are just as important as the if it's an athlete pete's into his performance whenever i come to russia's training base outside moscow i just can't believe my eyes the 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 niece to the milk she is just incredible the amount of the pianist. and while they're trying to toss on the games are in full swing the whole history of the olympics can be discovered at the heart of london's cultural life at the wall opera house in covent garden robert ford on hand a trip back in time. looking for the entire history of olympic games from ocean times to more air are within just twenty minutes this is the only place where it's possible the one point well the olympic museum these pictures paint a thousand words artifacts from athletes who competed thousands of years ago the

dominate possession chances pay him and went begging for the off of them to make it that much simpler will work wonders to keep his goal intact. and with frustration growing in the home crowd misao were posted onto the pitch but in the sixth and last minute of stoppage time the visitors bradley then lost at home the only goal to develop a one no win on the night and a three one victory not to get ukrainian side and not just won a victory away from the troops there. and that's always been for this person more in just under two hours until than by.
