Occupy Movement Reaches Paris
Inspired by the 'Occupy' movement in the United States, French protesters have started their anti-corporatism protests in the heart of Paris' financial district, La Defense, Press TV reports.
Heeding the call of an online campaign, hundreds of protesters thronged at Paris' key business district to protest against uneven distribution of wealth and the current economic crisis in the European country.
"In France, people think that it's okay for us. It's not like Greece. It's not like Spain, but it will come here so we have to be aware," said a protester.
The protesters set up their camps despite efforts by the French police to force their way into the encampment and confiscate blankets and food.
"They took the people by their legs, taking them out and sometimes hitting them and then took the tents, breaking them," said another protester.
The demonstrators believe the harassment is a prelude to mass arrests.

Indian Governement Files Biopiracy Lawsuit Against Monsanto
Representing one of the most agriculturally bio-diverse nations in the world, India has become a primary target for biotechnology companies like Monsanto and Cargill to spread their genetically-modified (GM) crops into new markets. However, a recent France 24 report explains that the Indian government has decided to take an offensive approach against this attempted agricultural takeover by suing Monsanto for "biopiracy," accusing the company of stealing India's indigenous plants in order to re-engineer them into patented varieties.
Brinjal, also known in Western nations as eggplant, is a native Indian crop for which there are roughly 2,500 different unique varieties. Millions of Indian farmers grow brinjal, which is used in a variety of Indian food dishes, and the country grows more than a quarter of the world's overall supply of the vegetable.

Judge OKs $410M settlement for Bank of America
A federal judge on Monday gave final approval to a $410 million settlement in a class-action lawsuit affecting more than 13 million Bank of America customers who had debit card overdrafts during the past decade.
Barry Himmelstein, an attorney for customers who objected to the deal, said he calculated that the bank actually raked in $4.5 billion through the overdraft fees and was repaying less than 10 percent. He said the average customer in the case had $300 in overdraft fees, making them eligible for a $27 award — less than one overdraft charge — from the lawsuit.
