reason why the demonstrators are doing this is because new york city mayor michael bloomberg paid a visit. personally on wednesday evening walk through and told all the protesters that they would have to temporarily leave the park on friday so that it could be cleaned up now the protesters believe that this is an effort city officials are making to remove them from the grounds that they have been camping out so they decided to take the initiative and clean the park on their own now of course the occupy wall street movement has been referring to themselves and the majority of americans as the ninety nine percent they believe that one percent of americans the richest that live in the u.s. basically the vast amount of money and that the disparity between rich and poor is growing deeper and deeper some facts were compiled by a variety of different organizations and those statistics include the fact that the top one percent. forty percent of america's wealth now this disparity of courting to reports is worse than it's been in the past twenty five years at its worst level a second point is that

i decided it's night time awards night because in new york mayor michael bloomberg i would argue by wall street protests began in the city back. september seventeenth he said that the protesters were welcome as long as they are respectful to other new yorkers but it appears that after two weeks of protests on wall street near bloomberg is changing his tune it was taken from his comments this morning when he was appearing on a weekly radio show but the protesters are protesting against people who make forty fifty thousand dollars a year and are struggling to make ends meet that's the bottom line and those are the people that were on wall street you know in the finance sector. all right somebody it sort of slightly michael bloomberg what occupy wall street is really all about the protesters on the streets are not targeting the employees that are making forty thousand dollars a year the people on occupy wall street are not rising up against lower level employees in the financial sector they're protesting against a system our financial system which because of greed and a lack of regulations

than a dozen cities the protesters have come under at times by politicians with new york mayor michael bloomberg claiming that trying to destroy the job the people working in banks in the city. during driven outro what's been their homeland for centuries discovered they sufferings palestinians are facing israeli settlers tried to drive them out and establish a jewish majority in hebron under the protection of their country's army is the second part of our special report of the west bank. now the towards us three zero we're just walking on. used to be the main part of the hebron markets try to imagine in your heads on oriental markets of a city of one hundred fifty thousand people since ninety four scrolls down at the beginning of a second intifada destroyed us three it was announced that a sterilized three it's been interesting is because even for preventive even to walk here not only drive not only open the shops even to walk. the palestinians have many arab states the huge territories if they want a palestinian muslim government they can have that in saudi arabia in syria in iraq in iran in mo

that these protesters are trying to destroy the jobs of working people in new york city mayor michael bloomberg said that this demonstration is not productive do you think that this is. an illustration of disconnect what do you think about no i think that's a perfect illustration of a connect his connect to wall street bloomberg is what seventy five percent are about owner of bloomberg l.l.c. he has a sixteen billion dollars stake or so down the wall street this is business of course he feels threatened and he's going to do whatever he can including making the police more and more confrontational to elicit the type of negative response that he wants from these protesters he wants to goad them into violence he wants to make them argue amongst one another he wants to find issues of race religion sexual orientation whatever he possibly can him and people like him to exploit people that are coming here who just simply want to express themselves how is this anything but a democratic expression of freedom of speech and democracy is something very alien to that fraud mr bloom. what should we do should

perspective on sort of the differences between the city certainly in new york we did see mayor michael bloomberg actually change his mind he told the protesters they were going to have to stay in there and have the leaves in part for cleaning. and letting them stay that wasn't the case at first with oakland and now those police are backing down and as you tell us that's not how it's happening in denver i'm wondering what you think about you know sort of the different locations and how they affect the police reaction you know there's a very early even reaction to look up in albany new york we saw the governor order the police and the mayor there ordered the police to. disperse the crowd and the police actually refused to follow the order fearing that it would end up causing a riot so the response has been very i'm eager and i think politicians who have been specially this generation of politicians who have to deal with this are unlikely to. politicians who perhaps experienced the one nine hundred sixty s. they're not exactly sure how to use the police in a proper way and i think the police offici

lucy i know that you've been down there for a while and just two days ago we saw where michael bloomberg say that they can stay indefinitely now suddenly they want to clean up so were people shop in zuccotti park today. i think there are more shocked by the fact that the mayor. decided to bless them with his presence even though it's temporarily i think most people regardless of what the mayor's office says really see this as a backwards sort of attempt to events the protesters from the park the mayor knows that a lot of media attention a lot of the world's attention is focused on new york right now on this occupation especially in light of the mass arrests that we saw last weekend over the brooklyn bridge and several instances of pepper spraying and police brutality and so the city of new york knows that it can't it can't come out and be directly against this occupation so the feeling amongst most of the protesters on the ground is that they're sort of looking for various loopholes to try to get folks out before this announcement about the so-called clean up took place in fact we notice

mayor michael bloomberg announcement that those campers will have to leave tomorrow morning so the park could be cleaned they're concerned that if they do leave they won't be allowed back in so they say they plan to clean now and then tomorrow when the crews come in they'll position themselves with brooms and mops and human chain around the park to nonviolently stand their ground now earlier today as you kind of park tamburello because horace from rage against the machine performs hard to produce a list accounting of also spoke to him asking him among other things to grade a president obama's performance thus far. my support for obama was very conditional begin with i never had hopes it would be beyond the sort of centrist democratic president that he is now. many people some of us. because he looked like a different president and he talked like a different president he would be a good a kind of president clearly has value but i'm not waiting around for him to change people like i was waiting around for him to change this is a movement from the bottom up it's movement has to be reckoned
