the day began with hundreds of optimus and their supporters storming through lower manhattan some attempting to block the entrance of the new york stock exchange how hot the day progressed we saw many clashes between the new york city police departments and activists that were walking through lower manhattan chanting we are the ninety nine percent and pioneering a message that began twelve months ago a message that started in new york city and then to you but nationwide and ultimately global but the most important thing to note on monday when these optimists gather together for the one year anniversary is that they are still very much committed to their fight against income inequality against corporate influence on us politics but what also remains was the heavy handed tactics used by the n.y.p.d. against optimus some participating in civil disobedience on many occasions we saw them i.p.t. pushing optimus to the ground a lot of us feel disillusioned and kind of put down like we can't there's nowhere to go and there's no recourse that isn't violent you know they're the violent ones they're pu

rory we are certainly in the thick of things here in lower manhattan and we will be covering this story all day long as you can see by the scenes behind me as the crowd moves the police move now we should point out that this resurgence of the occupy movement that in the weeks before the u.s. presidential election if this gets big and go goes on beyond a day carries out beyond today this could potentially have a huge influence on the presidential election but of course we have to see what happens throughout the day what kind of message they get across how many people turn out and we will be here following the story updating our viewers hour by hour . to talk about a bad timing with the u.s. presidential campaigning going on and we just saw those police decked out in riot gear going postures so we'll catch up with you later in the day here on correspondent thank you. but we will have plenty more on the one year anniversary of the occupy wall street movement throughout the day here on our channel including interviews with activists and of course those involved in the searching movement. wh

riot gear zuccotti park is empty but as far as i know activists are demonstrating throughout lower manhattan what is here and for today well the plan was to rather than gather in one large group gather in a series of small groups and attempt to march on wall street. yeah i mean look the ruling elite is nervous and i was standing i've been here since six this morning and you saw all these bankers when it came time for work coming out of the subways and none were dressed in suits because they were scared they were scared to walk through the crowd and be identified as part of that speculative class which is not only trashed the american economy trashed the global economy looted the u.s. treasury and is essentially as a so a parasitic force so look you know the one thousand seven hundred sixty five stand back rebellion was the precursor to seven hundred seventy six the one nine hundred five rebellion in russia was the precursor to nine hundred seventeen it takes that long but what we have on leisure what occupy unleashed a year ago i believe. ultimately spells the end of the corporate state and

hours three hours into the the day long event that the occupy movement has organized here in lower manhattan at least ten people from what we've been told have been arrested thus far about a half hour ago we were by sukiyaki park my cameramen and i and we were crossing the street and saw that four activists that are wheelchair bound were being held detained by police officers for trying to block an intersection you have to understand the activists are spread out all throughout lower manhattan as are the police there is an enormous amount of police officers from the new york city police departments here maintaining all the crowds trying to follow them around helicopters are ready hovering overhead and there is a lot of activity going on it seems as times as the time passes the crowds are growing bigger and larger and we have to mention that the grievances that we heard come out of this movement one year ago have not changed these people are out in the streets fighting against the economic inequality here in the u.s. influence on u.s. politics and they're marking their one year here in new yor

the occupy wall street movement really celebrating that first birthday by turning lower manhattan into hotbed. instead of the original zuccotti park location, they're using twitter to localize clusters of protesters all around lower manhattan instead of just in one place. what that's led to is a bevy of protests. organizers say between 70 and 100 arrests have taken place. so far, it's a day-long movement and it actually started on saturday. but they're message still isn't clear. foreclosures, bank bailouts, some pressing for the independence of puerto rico and regulating the art market. but you will see responses from both the campaigns of governor romney and president obama targeting the middle class instead of that 99% number. that's probably the most lasting achievement is that rhetoric. >> that remains consistent from them. kayla tausche there in manhattan, thank you. >>> one conservative group vowing to mobile lize a small gp of voters on election day. >>> and the boy scouts accused of brushing allegations of child abuse under the rug. we'll tell you how the group is responding an

we are certainly in the thick of things here in lower manhattan and we will be covering this story all day long as. you can see by the scenes behind me as the crowd moves the police move now we should point out that this resurgence of the occupy movement comes seven weeks before the us presidential election if this gets big and go goes on beyond a day carries out beyond a day this could potentially have a huge influence on the presidential election but of course we have to see what happens throughout the day what kind of message they get across how many people turned out and we will be here following the story updating our viewers hour by hour. yes more for new for you from new york throughout the day as maria says now it's twenty five unhealthiness past the hour europe's the biggest bank goes under the hammer daniels in our business desk tell us more about this has been quite a bargain as though you consume by. buying this beer what's on sale to china pollock of as the story for us. has been waiting for almost to sleep for the first let's take a. listen to those that still live up to

citizen journalism coverage of the movement flourished thousands of people took to the streets of lower manhattan and countless cities across the country in the weeks that followed it wasn't fox news c.n.n. or n.b.c. that brought us the images it was people on the ground that were drawn into the movement the live stream or here's just one example. of a much. greater. power around our people right here. and i don't want to go. back and. i don't know how they're looking. now it was regular people with cell phones and an internet connection that raised awareness of the growing divide between the rich and the poor the toxic marriage between the government and corporations and the special interest group that have taken the voice away from the american people lifestream and gave the rest of us a chance to be right there on the ground to see an unfiltered firsthand account of what the movement was about without having to hear the propaganda stick commentary of the corporate controlled press occupy wall street was founded on the notion of a leaderless movement because in a real democracy power comes from

that is downtown new york, kayla tausche is back in lower manhattan with the wall street -- occupy wallvement. >> reporter: brian, fels like we're in a little bit of a time warp. the scene behind me feels so much like september 17, 2011. after a boit truss morning protesting all over lower manhattan, the occupy wall streeters that are here today have converged on their birthplace and even though it is relatively a celebration, there's still been a lot of arrests this morning. roughly 80 to 100 arrests have taken place due to civil disobedience like sit-ins at bank lobbies, et cetera. since the conception of the occupy wall street movement, organizers say nearly 8,000 arrests have taken place all over the world. that's quite a lot of civil disobedience if you think about it. today we're seeing more like a celebration. it is not really an angry protest. it is saying even though there's not a lot that's changed in the last year, the seeds of discontent are known. there's still a disconnect as you were saying between the middle class and that 1% that they coined here just a year ago. a twee
