http://www.euronews.net/ Police have moved in and cleared a protest site in New York's financial district.

The members of Occupy Wall Street had been camped there since mid-September, and have inspired many other protests around the world.

There were unconfirmed reports that tear gas was used to move the protesters, and more than 70 arrests were made.

One woman described what she saw: "They're taking the park, they're surrounding the park in riot gear. They're taking it and they're trying to block off every street right now, they're lining up to surround us."
