throughout new york city and some other big cities across the united states two months after the occupy wall street movement kick started here in new york we saw hundreds come out onto the streets this morning this is grown into thousands and protests and marches are taking place all throughout the city ramona how are things unfolding over there in los angeles. well as today was the biggest demonstration we've seen in los angeles over the last couple months since occupy wall street started but it was definitely one of the more symbolic demonstrations it's definitely the demonstration in which they have been the most police officers especially riot police now they moved in on a demonstration early this morning which started at seven am in hopes of showing down parts of the financial district here in los angeles during that demonstration some twenty three people were arrested for setting up camp in doing a virtual occupation of the intersection there in the middle of the financial district now a second march has just wrapped up in downtown near city hall where three other people were arrested and now

they're not at the occupy wall street physically. occupy wall street library physically anymore. and michael bloomberg ordered wall street to be unoccupied, the library was swept up and torn down and hauled off, as protesters were evicted and/or arrested from the site. initially there was confusion about where exactly the library had been taken and what condition it was in. this afternoon the mayor's office twitter account posted this, property from zuccotti including the occupy wall street library safely stored at 57th street sanitation garage. it can be picked up wednesday. that tweet was accompanied by this photo of a bunch of bins and stacks of books. the folks behind the occupy wall street library responded via their own twitter account saying, quote, looks like our library. not all of it. they noted on their website, quote, we're glad to see some books with okay. where are the rest of the books? we won't be convinced until we have all our undamaged property returned to us. we asked the mayor's office today for permission to see and photograph the books ourselves. the mayor's

political or police when it comes to covering occupy wall street one cameraman i spoke to two days ago said that it was easier time covering the iraq war but a journalist and covering the occupy wall street protests and it does seem to be the case that you know we don't have the proper press that issued by the local police department and even if you do we really make this don't make a distinction between protesters and i have to say it but it's difficult to cover some of it in a way that's not sort of a confrontation with the police when you're roughed up and shoved and treated essentially the same way that any other person in the street is it's quite disturbing especially for a country that's just so often to other countries to be them. all right so now let's move on to some of the other actions that are planned for today like i said it's three pm people were supposed to occupy the subways now i know that you're union square and you say that people are still getting arrested you know how is this all flowing together how is it is a being successful right now if they're really in pain b

being active and occupy wall street protests that protesters aren't the only ones being affected that ribbon students are now enjoying because putting down their school dogs for picket signs using their street smarts to try to change the system. and watching from a distance what does the world think of the occupy wall street movement and how the protestors are being treated here in the u.s. . it's tuesday november fifteenth seven pm in washington d.c. i'm liz wall and you're watching artsy well the occupy wall street movement dealt a major blow to night and new york a judge has ruled protesters can return says a car. park so they can no longer camp there overnight protesters here in d.c. are reacting to the news. correspondent christine this video on her way home this was the scene just a few blocks from our r.t. studio not spinning not to go. and back in new york arts he is marina poor and i has been following this story she joins us now with the latest marina how are protesters reacting to the ruling. well at this point the protesters have been allowed back into zuccotti park they a

this human barricade to get into their offices were not able to do this so to that extent the occupy wall street movement has definitely fulfilled its goal of shutting down wall street in terms of the brooklyn bridge of walks through in march this is something that is still going to happen later on in the day and we have to keep in mind that last time the occupy wall street protesters walked along the brooklyn bridge over eight hundred people were arrested and so far today here in new york we know that the numbers are definitely over one hundred and they're very likely to grow as the marches continue in places like foley square and different parts and most importantly across the brooklyn bridge well this really is a big day for the occupy wall street movement it commemorates their their two month anniversary since it sparked. i mean so far they have these ambitious goals as is it hasn't been seen as a success for the movement ramon. but evelyn from the people that we touch it today they are definitely currents now many of the people that we talked to may not be the most hurt by the financial cri

and that was occupy wall street organizer and her husband. and many young protesters occupying wall street are students many of them saddled by an unknown armisen out of student that sit in that has exceeded one trillion dollars in the united states that's more than the nation's credit card that meanwhile unemployment among college graduates is at an all time high that's all makes for a recipe for thousands of i'm happy educating young people other people their frustration to the streets are the correspondent marina par and i a takes a look at the massive problem of student debt in the nation. this image of twenty three year old staff great speaks to the widespread debt at the demick among american college graduates desperate to find work right now i can't even get a job cleaning toilets for minimum wage i've tried at a local motel there's nothing i've made come down versions of my resume. begging for any sort of work walking around starbucks mcdonald's or anything like i did when i was seventeen and it makes me think well why did i even go to

we're talking about los angeles, "occupy wall street" protesters walking down the street in big numbers. it looks like they are just getting started there on the west coast. on the east coast, new york, the birth of the movement, "occupy wall street." you see the crowds have gathered. hundreds and hundreds of people in that park. there was a lot of -- there were a few scuffles, people who were arrested. very tense situation there on the ground in new york. more of this after a quick break. n to help bring children holiday joy, and while it doesn't travel by sleigh or reindeer, it does get around... in fact, every year duracell sends loads of batteries to the mattel children's hospital, u.c.l.a. of course, children here and everywhere don't really think about which battery makes their toy run... but, still... you'd never want to disappoint. duracell. trusted everywhere. it's good. honey, i love you... oh my gosh, oh my gosh.. look at these big pieces of potato. ♪ what's that? big piece of potato. [ male announcer ] progresso. you gotta taste this soup. ♪ if i should fall from grace with

we have members of congress now introducing amendments i mean do you think it's because of occupy wall street will go to cause this i think i can buy wall street is definitely expanded the space in which is conversation happens the citizens united ruling opened the door but occupy wall street has changed the conversation there's no question about it you might be interested the fact that progressive democrats of america has been doing brown bag vigils every month once a month a congressional office today we did a series of the super committee members offices including in massachusetts and months ahead and pennsylvania and they were good crowds these i give part of the credit here dr paul was treated on this and i think the reason that congressman mcgovern was interested in doing this bill the people's rights and meant was that he understands there's a new space and he understands that citizens united as you said has created a very tilted vicious playing field where the one percent will dominate the ninety nine percent even more than it used to and of course the field was already grossly unfair

no longer allowed back in so we want to look at this afternoon this evening at the future of occupy wall street and what it will take for it to survive artie's honest aasia churkin to reports on the big apple. human tsunami of tens of thousands of people flooded the streets of new york. hundreds arrested dozens beaten dragged and abused by police thousands more protests across the u.s. on thursday the feast of america's civil war against corporate greed and wealth inequality the county park the points where occupy wall street was born looks nothing like it did just a couple of days ago officials were hoping that a bit to the protesters would put an end to the movement but this has backfired a day of action brought more people out onto the streets with more bigger than ever before it's absolutely a story we haven't seen something like this in america thirty forty years and its history of eating itself to make it to see if we have two months of decision making two months after occupy wall street kick started in the big apple in europe with already has decided to kick protesters out of their camp

and of course one of the issues the protesters with occupy wall street movement are angry about is that too close for comfort relationship between wall street and washington and never before is that more apparent than with the information from the twenty ten census data it appears there have been some changes in the way we do business here in washington the biggest change is how much business is apparently being done here how much money the city now rakes in and how many people are living large as a result well according to these numbers washington d.c. now has the lowest poverty rate for any not for politan city in the country surpassing even places like tech capital silicon valley california but that's not the whole story so i decided to take a look into these numbers and what they actually mean. and the winner is washington the district of columbia where this house is just one of many immersed in luxury and not for sale but what happens here and here and here played a major role in some changes in the latest u.s. census data the washington d.c. metropolitan area today has the lowest

take a look back at the prophetic conversations with great minds that predicted the rise of occupy wall street. you need to know this as the dust settles on occupy wall street today of action across the nation yesterday the numbers are coming in a new york city alone there are estimates that somewhere between thirty five thousand and fifty thousand patriots took part in the demonstrations from the march to wall street to the occupation of foley square so the march across the brooklyn bridge so now how does the movement build off yesterday's successes moving forward we'll use the question in just a moment but first today the guardian newspaper released this video around oakland shot back on november second the day of the occupy oakland general strike showing a demonstrator peacefully protesting by standing in front of a line of riot police look at what happens next. i think. the wrong road. i. noticed the guns that man just like scott olsen was nearly killed by oakland police last month is iraq war veteran and he suffered a ruptured spleen as a result of the beat down unfortunately there were s

turks did a story about it but no one really focused or paid attention to it but now you have occupy wall street and what's great about them is you know some people criticize them for not having like a direct message and focusing on one specific thing but occupy wall street cover such a broad range of issues that we have in our political system and people are now starting to pay attention to those issues so i love that people went to the polls i think it's important to still do that but i do agree with occupy wall street when it comes to reforming our political system and getting rid of things like corporate personhood which is a huge problem in our democracy now one of the things that occupy wall street or a lot of people who are taking part in occupy wall street support is taking their money out of the big banks transferring it to local credit unions and of course this last weekend was november fifth people call the bank transfer day and it turns out that just on that one day just on saturday forty thousand people there and closing their accounts and previous to that they had found that just i

a new dawn for the occupy wall street movement is on the rise with their future. and i started drawing me just a short while ago with a little perspective on the occupy wall street movement what's gone on and what else we can expect or you know christine the way this movement has transitioned is probably one of the most interesting things about occupy wall street we've seen not only the faces of the protesters change or they're certainly they've gone from sort of the younger student type looking at her kists as the media really like to call them from the beginning who came out in dozens and a couple of hundreds and a lot of them were not certain that they would be able to last until december as they had promised in the first place when this whole movement was only beginning to gather their presence has definitely gotten a lot stronger not just the numbers that we've seen yesterday where thousands tens of thousands of people were protesting here in new york city and across the united states their message has definitely gotten a lot stronger some of the people were s

and occupy wall street protesters aren't the only ones being a break there that britain students now joining the cause putting down their school bucks for picket signs using their street large street smarts to try to change the system. and watching from a distance what does the world think of the occupy wall street movement and how the protestors are being treated here in the u.s. . it's tuesday november fifteenth four pm in washington d.c. i'm liz wall and you're watching artsy occupy wall street protesters today still despite their forced evictions over night. hundreds of demonstrators marched through the streets of new york in solidarity they're still going strong after last night where chaos erupted in that park police tore through the occupy wall street encampment to a victim protesters camped out there now the mass arrests come out there police were told by the owner of the park to clear the cam due to safety and sanitation concerns but a manhattan judge today ordered the park reopens he said protesters can take their tents with them but mayor bloomberg is keeping the police arm

there is a movement brewing in america not just the occupy wall street but the two thousand encampments occupy around america and also the sense that suddenly the ninety nine percent of americans who have not been heard from or been heard from and heard in the media which is not paid attention until now. the extent to which occupy has gathered steam and resonated across the u.s. and the globe does say something about a collective sense of discontent and disillusionment with the economy or whether that sense can be applied to all the ninety nine percent of americans that the protests claim to represent is another story and this is shown in a very simple opinion survey conducted by public policy polling which found that not only does occupy appeal to nearly a handful of the ninety nine percent but it's a poor ratings have soured with one of the last month this growing awareness of occupy probably stems from the real or perceived notion that the movement's outlook is redundantly utopian while its members are yet to put forth a clear and specific policy goals and here in the protesters to t

but this time seeking a movement. >> so demonstrators came to occupy wall street. and the movement took off. from new york. >> we are a force to be reckoned with. >> reporter: to chicago. to los angeles. even rural alaska. occupy wall street went worldwide with a global day of protests october 15th. in europe, mostly peaceful protests. but in rome, demonstrations turned violent. italian police firing teargas into crowds. a precursor to what would happen back in the united states days later. officers in oakland, california, firing teargas into the crowds after protesters refused to clear out of their camp. but it did not deter demonstrators. >> we keep running away. nothing is going to happen. >> the system was never set up to serve me. it was set up to keep the rich in power. >> new government figures seemed to back this up showing the country's biggest banks raking in near record profits. so far this year, $34 billion. last year, financial firms handed out nearly $21 billion in bonuses alone. >> there's something out of whack with our country if at a time of such

that idea is certainly spreading from a small rally against wall street to a movement that united sauza means a lot has changed since the occupy wall street protests began we'll take a look back at its determine start an uncertain future. it's thursday november seventeenth four pm in washington d.c. i'm liz wall and you're watching artsy well from coast to coast occupy wall street protesters storming u.s. cities today today is the two month anniversary of the movement and protesters are commemorating it with what they are calling a day of action in new york city where it all began they aim to shut down wall street occupy transportation hubs and the brooklyn bridge once again it turned violent as police crackdown and arrests dozens. what. was. well you can see the chaotic scene here of police decked out in riot gear dragging and arresting protesters and we have some disturbing video police arresting a woman take a walk. with. a girl obviously in pain there's struggling on the ground as police restrained her these violent images becoming an all too familiar sight over the past few months since the movement has progressed well r.

now one of the things that occupy wall street or a lot of people who are taking part in occupy wall street support is taking your money out of the big banks transferring it to local credit unions and of course this last weekend was november fifth people call the bank transfer day and it turns out that just on that one day just on saturday forty thousand people did and closing their accounts and previous to that they had found just in a month from september to october about six hundred fifty thousand people had to close their accounts do you think that means the success there or is forty thousand a little bit disappointing. no i think that there is absolutely success as you mentioned since september i actually read a different report that said that up to eight hundred thousand people since september have transferred their money to credit unions and i think that that is great proof that occupy wall street is really spreading the message and they're doing so effectively because you got to keep in mind most people didn't really think about transferring their money out of big banks and going to

up i like that week and i think the streets and out of those i frightened of the victim and occupy wall street protesters aren't the only ones being a victim in a debt ridden students are now joining the cause putting down their school bucks for picket signs in their street smarts to try to change the system. and from a small rally in new york to an all out movement coast to coast the voices of the occupy wall street protesters are only growing louder well take a look back at how this movement has grown over the past few months. and watching from a distance what is the world think of the occupy wall street movement and how the protestors are being treated here in the u.s. . it's tuesday november fifteenth five pm in washington d.c. i'm liz wall and you're watching artsy. we have some new information for you in the occupy wall street movement a judge has just ruled protesters cannot return to his economy park this after a tough battle last night. this is where cancer opted in zuccotti park police tore through the occupy wall street encampment to the big protesters camped out there now the massi

explained news viewers what the difference is between the tea party and occupy wall street. but you're so in a sense maker's occupy wall street are takers but here we go again with fox so-called news is makers versus takers argument pitting americans against americans and considering the tea party takes their orders from millionaires takes free bus rides to tea party rallies takes all the free swag and tea party convention sponsored by corporations and billionaires and takes all the free public city from five so-called news a well occupy wall street has had two from the beginning and continues to make everything themselves from campsites to media attention even general consensus i think i feel has is makers versus takers distintion upside down and that's a very. religious crony alerts what do you do when you're a small time crook and former cruise ship lounge singer who went into business with a partner now in prison and bought a radio station and a t.v. station in a newspaper that another radio station then another t.v. station then another newspaper then a radio network goi

i just want to know what do you think is happening right now in the country in terms of the occupy wall street movement it is something that there's going to be a lot of big changes going on in the revolution perhaps. it depends on what your definition of revolution is if it's blood in the streets and the royal family being murdered i don't know if that's necessarily going to happen but i think what is definite lead going to continue to transpire is more and more people realizing just how disenfranchised they are they're realizing just how little control they have over their own democracy so they would want to give more of a voice that i also think what's happening here is is mirrored in other parts of the world where people are just so opposed to the use of centralized power of a federal system that's so when you control of the state system. but yet they want it to be more efficient so they've almost surrendered their freedom to a war fish and government similar to what russia will have to deal with when they decide whether putin is going to come back into power with a lot of people that they

in jail was a big day for the occupy wall street. to month anniversary what is next for occupy wall street. what is next the sky's the limit really we have popular support of america and the world. everybody is a one the one strand take it as they bring us all together is a one way or another we've all been screwed by the system. twenty eight years old i don't own a house i don't know if i'm ever going to own a house the way our financial system is currently set up. a big reason why we're here to do is because wall street exports oppression around the world so many of these companies that are traded they trade or four hundred one ks with our military contractors and weapons manufacturers and and even. even they we have tech companies that export filters for internet for like middle eastern country. these and they we want to talk about freedom and democracy and yet we're we're exporting oppression to these countries yet trying to say that we are you know we have some kind of legitimacy it's an absolute joke so we have to do it we have

is shutting down the port of oakland one of the values that "occupy wall street" or the "occupy" movementor shutting down wall street? the answer is self-evidently no. >> you are saying -- clarify that. >> shutting down the new york stock exchange is the most and obvious and symbolically potent direct action? it is different than. >> symbolic of what? >> that they think this is the locust of a cancerous growth on american society which is the financial complex which accounted for 40% of corporate profits on the eve of the crash. an industry that should be at its best, essentially, the utilities, should channel money from savings to investment, should be productive, not create excess risk and destruction and that has become something perverse and destructive. that perverse sieve destructiveness has rendered the society imms. zer rated. as a response, you need to disrupt the locust of that. >> the tea party shut down health care reform. >> health care reform isn't -- >> no, no, it was a bill. it was a bill and then it became a law. >> they shut downtown meetings. >> they shut down town meet

about do you think about means they're starting to get scared of the banks sentiment of the occupy wall street movement in this country. i think they're at least listening i mean they're getting a little bit nervous i think the occupy wall street movement did have an impact there i wouldn't trust not to raise fees in other places and you know and get the money elsewhere i don't necessarily think they've had a change of heart and now want to contribute in some positive way to our society i think they're way beyond that you know the banking industry is has really become an oligopoly it's not a competitive business you know there's collusion between these banks when bank of america raised its fee it was doing something that's known as price leadership it was sending a signal to the other big banks that they could do the same so these big guys are working together and if they don't get you one way they'll get you another way jamie diamond of chase even said that he said you know if we can't charge for the soda we're going to charge for the burger the only difference is a bank is not burger king re

according to the new york fed now student loan debt is just one of the complaints we've heard at occupy wall street specifically and debt more broadly plays into the protests in a deeper way according to dr hyde's and you'll hear from again now some don't believe occupy wall street protests are justified at all given even all of the economic stuff that we've been talking about but let's just take my word for it when you watch a former mayor rudy giuliani former new york mayor. how about trying something different to help our economy instead of occupying wall street and occupying boston and occupying oakland and how about you occupy a job. that apply occupy a job where are they there's sixteen percent unemployment based on the broader measure well not so according to rudy giuliani is the situation according to our guest dr michael hudson professor of economics at university of missouri kansas city and author here's how he sees the occupy wall street protests. it is a pretty revolutionary situation it is pretty revolutionary because a lot of people are coming together who are in the same boat they ar

the face the face with police terrorism and occupy wall street. and occupy oakland what occupy our portland. i don't your part. and all the occupations all over that are you know. the. goal. with the people don't let you tell because you repeatedly now said the salad bowl discussion well yeah but the people we celebrate that a lot of people have the power but yes this could be a cutter because. the straw you want to give you want to export that tebaldi kind of credit so we leave it to we because it's to get what he thinks freedom to be put against the patriots if it were a patriot a terrible thing to believe that so body count old will hold the failures of the powerful but you falsely give no party went to prison that's what you told me but my life is going to call for me. to. go. flee to. flee to. flee to. remember what the difference what the finest people present in the old public at the palace built with p.c.b. to never give this time it is apparent that their plight is for the people but the character of the idea of the cook up some. sure bill

a marine outraged with police treatment of occupy wall street protesters yes like that yet again. it. has inspired a movement america's war veterans have come out on to the streets of new york to publicly support the occupy wall street movement let's find out what has led them out here to our constitutional rights are being curtailed and we'll search for them . another catalyst for anger former iraqi war veteran scott olsen unconscious after being injured in occupy oakland protest last week but you know if you. hit with a moment of silence the veterans show this brutality just move fly with them what do you think about veterans joining occupy wall street do you think it's a strong message it's got also that one hundred. veterans of all ages who have served their country at war are now fighting for change at home veterans definitely do represent many of the struggles that all americans are going through we have extremely high unemployment rates low these veterans also see themselves as the ninety nine percent the very wealthy are not paying their fair share and so forth. i believe t

interests that occupy wall street is fighting i want to play one more example that we can talk about in a second this one is a little bit less in your face now this happened in los angeles it was actually a reporter with k.t.l.a. who was appearing live on c.n.n. . and we have to get this country the people as well because this was voted on is exactly what we have to do is they should bring the jobs back to america and make sure that there's justice done misconduct do they do see anybody who's going to say they're not in favor of jobs my question to you is this does this type of approach is really achieve anything at all other than just rushing drumming and making it harder for people to get to their real jobs those are still doing a job all right what do you say that they were this reporter says this protest even anything other than you know traffic jams and preventing people from getting to their jobs what do you say to people who may agree with their message but not with them not fact. i think that they have to see

given that, is occupy wall street running out of steam? >> i think they're at sort of a critical juncture. on one hand there's a real danger for occupy wall street that et cetera going to start to become more about confronting police and defending turf. to the extent it's about that they'll lose the larger message, income and equality. there's a danger for the protesters if that becomes their focus. that will turn off supporters elsewhere and really get them off message. they do, on the other hand, need some organization and leaders. they've been proudly leaderless from the beginning, a group motivated by the people for the people, et cetera but ultimately if they want to achieve something, they need leaders. so the extent that he partner with labor, that could be helpful but it's an odd bed fellow in certain ways because you see labor has a certain set of issues and that isn't what is motivating many protesters, kid just out of college who can't pay student loans or get a job. on the other hand, labor has things to over them. >> chris: bil

your rights that happens more and more i mean even if you want to make this entirely about occupy wall street we can't even the people that are down to each and every single occupy wall street that are sitting there voting the law that have a legal teams this still see this civil rights being cut it every single call on this bill see excuses left and right now we want to clean the park so we're going to have to move everyone out and then we're going to let you back in oh you know there were rioting and the protesters got violent or maybe because you shot them with rubber bullets and you threw two. you know at some point there needs to be some accountability not just from the protesters but also from the police reaction to things like that you know and we've seen a lot of us police reactions lately specifically in oakland in other countries across the u.s. as well do you think that our police aren't trained to deal with peaceful protests they only know how to suppress that it's news military analysts right tactic i think they were that they thought that they could show them off with a hard pus
