talks to occupy activist 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. 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. led a lot of. 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 is biggest facts are a thing you know we all join for our own reasons it will 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 or service was you saw 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 since we're proud of and that's i mean to get a an award for your injuries occupy oakland clashed. 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 but 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 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's 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 hooter's. 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 that you 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. us. because made me who i am i would not recommend anyone else to make this mystic it's going to be here in september a sense by wall street first kick started what status is the movement and now what should we be expecting next big and loud 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 to 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 the sick 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 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 they. maximize their profits without actually doing any work so take that money was taken 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. those 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. 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 it's. a good question i mean you know you could vote for third party when i mean you make voting for a third party as

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 i'm 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 i've covered it more than i was expecting them to i was in this but they're expecting much. and that's why we come over here and we build our own media that we need we build websites that anyone goes 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 your

american who you know turns on the six o'clock news if they don't hear about these things just like they don't hear about the wars that were so and most of americans like me don't really know without were really at war they are affected by these things.

thank you for joining me for the sport on day twelve of the london olympics here in the headlines in saying russia. and russia not continue the country's twelve year domination of synchronized swimming with gold. plus in gold. becomes russia's first olympic diving champion sin city two thousand after victory in the men's springboard. gold rushes began to hard hit the heights to become the new olympic champion in the men's hi john. so let's go straight to the olympics where russia's men's basketball team are aiming for a place in the semifinals as they take on this you idea at the arena in london while russia haven't finished better than eight of the olympics since the breakup of the soviet union while if you weigh in you haven't been even lower than the

semifinals in the last four summer games and at the moment it's seventy seven seventy two to russia with just one minute left on the clock and the winner of this match will face the france or european champions spain argentina based brazil in and for science american match up favorites on top seeds the usa who finished group a with a five no perfect record they face australia in the last game of the day. for the women's basketball rush hour through to the seventy finals following a sixty six points to sixty three victory over turkey in the last eight it was all square after the third quarter at fifty one for all but the cycle of skis john is with that little bit better at the end becky hammon talks korean for the winners with nineteen points and in the last four russia will play frogs who beat the czech republic seventy one and sixty eight while in the other semifinal the u.s. side will take on australia. well meanwhile russia moved up to fifth in the overall medal table after climbing another three goals in synchronized swimming diving and

that led six on eleven. in the fall favorites in the valley of anastasio national produce an almost flawless performance to win the duet events russia have dominated the duet and the team event in the sports in sydney two thousand. it was a brilliant showpiece if shango and romesh now 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 two it's in history and now we all keep our fingers crossed for the team competition where we should add another gold to our tally and in the meantime divert years ahead off to gold in the men's three meter springboard russia's first winner in this event of the olympics for twelve years second medal at these games after claiming silver in the men's synchronized diving in the nets. and russia's third goal of pain in the men's high jump where yvonne who have clinched his first

outdoor title defending champion. he was twelfth. man as well as those three goals russia also took silver in the men's a great career and wrestling resound popped up finishing runner up ninety six in the grand final. and i was started i phoned her second bronze at the games in the floor event to follow up gold on the an even involves. russia another bronze in the men's weightlifting. overcame a recent shoulder injury and one hundred five kilograms event iran's side of army took silver with compacted the hard core does the abbey in one go. well meanwhile following a disappointing bronze in the women's pole vault rushers yelena isinbayeva has reversed her plans to retire and aims to chase a third in gold in twenty sixty. i think it was god's will that only one dawns 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 staying on track and field and four time olympic champion new same bolt easily qualified for the men's two hundred meter semifinals with a comfortable victory in his state he literally joerg the second part of the distance sending a strong message to his challengers the world record holder hoping to retain the title. in beijing. west because we have become great britain's most successful ever olympian as the veteran cyclist won the men's carrot event to pick up his record six gold for the thirty six year old scott also boasts one silver in his preview cabin. relief and delight when you cross the line and here i roar you know i had my shot when i threw the bike across the length i was unsure of how to not an artist or from the cradle realised i'd won and it's not as hard to express just how excited i really amazing night experience was but i

think i should when i got the podium in the house and really did it with all the all in but. experience that was. meantime rochelle hoping to bring home more medals when the rhythmic gymnastics gets underway in london. about one gold at the sydney olympics in two thousand and assessed her compact his chances of repeating that success. i guess 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. 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. get us to love with i'm sure russia will claim in limping and hopefully even sober 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 your 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 claim to go at the games.

as a slogan. is a true must in mind behind russia's domination on the mat but for her i wouldn't have one of the big gold. 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 nice to the milk she is just incredible. now all the twenty two are signed games are in full swing the whole history of the olympics can be discovered at the heart of london's cultural life at the royal opera house in covent garden and robert thought on hand took a trip back in time. looking for the entire history of olympic games from sometimes to more air or 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 completed thousands of years ago the all seeing gaze of the king of gods zeus who discouraged any cheating then withdrawal in time to find ourselves in the office of peer of the curtain the men who revive their sins olympics and inspire the first modern games in eight hundred ninety six. tots. right now it's getting to. the olympic joining you richard has been a goal in the hall of fame featuring some of the most outstanding own bands of the more an era with one of those twenty turning up herself to appreciate the unique exhibition. they use a source for time olympic champion or. who is also the first gymnast to become

a global store in this incredible job they did it. really with and this is a plus here is so. you can see history one hundred years and they're very. good if i'm not already here but it's very happy to be a part of this museum i mean olga korbut. amazing i remember watching. legend absolute legend and i'm so pleased to be able to see her today it's just wonderful and it really is amazing. for too long. now some football where did i care if i have booked a spot in the playoffs for the champions league after the ukrainian side to a late one zero victory at feyenoord going into the match the dutch host knew they

needed goals to progress after losing the away leg to long last week and they did dominate possession but chances came and went begging for the right of them to deny max involvement one does to keep his intact i'm good with frustration growing in the home crowd missiles were pelted on to the pitch but in the six and last minute of stoppage time that is does brad is their last at home the only goal to give denominate one no win on the night and a story one victory on aggregate ukrainian side and not just one victory away from the group stage. before we go let's quickly go to the o.t. arena in london where we have an update on the basketball where it's i guess russia against this you idea and russia have won eighty three seventy four the russian side through to the semifinals of the olympic games for the first time since the breakup of the soviet union and i'll take on the winners between spain. and that's all the support for this bill is and i'll be back with another in just under two

hours joining. us.

that's.
