away from midterms elections but most americans think they aren't represented by either party in congress want a political divide in half. and that if it was a blow edwards noted received an award for an all german chancellor and memorable visit the white house just months after it revealed that the nsa spying on her. blundell stories coming. and oklahoma was the scene ever read but botched execution the state governor called for overview of the incense and the faith you think that lethal injection. more on that later

and share. thirty if i can the island to friends or watching tv. midterm elections only have six months away pollsters are firing up the telephone lines to get a read on how the american feels about elected officials and more importantly how expects to both of them. at this point republicans hold the majority of seats in the house of representatives the things trooper to craft an authentic in the november elections republicans are expected to hold on to the house that need fixed me to pick up six seats to win control the senate. look at that. a new rasmussen national survey finds that fifty three percent of likely us voters think it's fair to say that neither party in congress is the party of the american people. it is up to forty seven percent last october overall it found that fifty two percent of republicans

and forty four percent of democrats agree that neither the majority of political party is the party faithfully representing the american people. a whopping sixty five percent of voters not affiliated with fatah party feel the same way. former new mexico governor and two thousand presidential candidate gary johnson joined me earlier to talk about his lack of representation. i pointed out how seventy two percent of people from the survey say the country would be better if we didn't really allow the incumbents then after that the american people don't trust the incumbents or other party or the new guys what's the alternative. well the first walleye i drew the pole as he does what we're all witnessing uniting term limits would really be a silver bullets. the notion that people would get into the right thing and get out and then. and then lindsey it'll couple of issues of late that really left all politicians behind marriage equality yet nobody was standing up for that marijuana legalization of

the state of washington state of colorado. moving ahead of all politicians and then if you look at that libya and syria president's ready to go in militarily congress is ready to dot the i's and cross the t's on how to do that. on the whole eighty percent of americans want don't want to do that well that's a good thing. i just wish i just wish of congress would catch up to the fact that to this spending is not sustainable if they don't fix this up. we're gonna find ourselves in a monetary crisis were defined as those without a country the government trust among young voters those between the ages of about eighteen and twenty nine a new poll surveying on america's political attitudes released by harvard university's institute of politics is a family meals. i'd composite trust index is called which at the level of trust on average in six different institutions the peasants the us military supreme court that the government and united nations is to

dramatically in just two years from thirty nine two years ago. all the way i'm thirty one two years ago all the way down to laugh. sorry the tears and thirty one. in mid april. forgive me on that one hundred politicians come back from this sort of a dropper talking about the young generation the young voters here when c i a i know we have statistics there on young voters but i made i believe that it isn't just young voters i think that they are the canary though in a coal mine in that the politicians don't get in. in touch with this and that of the relay work were defined as though i do already think we're in the nar catastrophe of sorts and were not being represented. of course adding run for the libertarian nomination for president so what i can tell you is whether you already libertarian whether your democrat whether you are a republican you have baggage whether you have that baggage all or not. we're suing

the presidential debate commission right now to see if i had to see if it's mathematically you are a party that can conceivably the elected president in states with enough electoral votes then shouldn't you be included in the debates has given other boys out there and the more voices we have no wheat into it on and on where this country should go my eyes suggest what will all be a lot better off but it is a two party system it's very exclusionary. i found that out to face to face it it's not a good thing more voices the better. i'm not being hypocritical here. as governor of new mexico i made it as easy as i signed legislation making it to be as easy as possible for third parties. to be able to run let's talk about these other one says you know it even after the midterm elections president obama has got a lilac in the white house he's facing. in very low approval ratings right now extremely

low embarrassingly low. what is this midterm election look like i can't change things will new voices depending on who makes it into the midterm elections. changes approval ratings will they be able to steer him away for some of those bad decisions. well at our own place blame on obama lied to place blame on the system that is very status quo oriented that more than anything politicians are concerned with getting re elected as opposed to doing the right thing. and it's a really it's it's reached the top when people don't vote you know that that's not a good thing and maybe we will see some huge voter turnout. i have no optimism whatsoever that anything changes and not washington as a result of these midterm elections. look i think that the president should be a leader and that he should be controversial and that he should press the things that he wants to do. and

republicans though they should be leading on the issues that they should be strong on and that would be spending that would be the head. that would be the deficits and then both parties that are coming together on and on the issues that everybody cares about i think the majority of americans speaking with a broad brush stroke or fiscally responsible and socially liberal. i always tell people i'm fine as conservative and as conservative a politician as you've ever met. when it comes to dollars and cents on the flaming liberal when it comes to civil liberties the militarization of police forces this is happening under the guise of both political parties watching this i mean it's getting so old that a hundred mm hundred and ten million verizon users are being monitored by the nsa this is happening under the guise. under the eyes of both political parties that did it just doesn't seem to be any any hope out there. let's talk about foreign involvement which most people say have

been numerous recently as the saying goes. go big or go home. what we gonna take it now appears it's time to go home. according to nearly half of the respondents on nbc news wall street journal poll forty percent and to save the us to become less active in world affairs not to look at what's going on us involvement in ukraine the iraq debacle troop withdrawal from afghanistan kind of going to syria and libya before that what is the way forward for those who want both differ election season with all that being concerned americans beyond these issues. well to do with the way politicians addresses the course is to get top drop bombs than the republicans are all about who's going to drop the first bomb. what about the notion of free trade and catches china really an enemy wonder. again our second biggest trading partner. i don't think so now we should be looking at to bed tray do with with other countries. first and

foremost the eu into a theater in on it in all younger war against trading partners to get the ending where always talking about sanctions and sanctions just don't work and when you look at the ukraine right now i think that would be analogous to. to russia getting involved in port. they go they're not going to do what we should get involved in the ukraine. there are unintended consequences as a result of our military interventions. this suggests that we have hundreds of millions of enemies to this country because of our military interventions. well looks like ukraine permanent obviously if the hotspot tying him for all topics when you think the us russia the us approach to crisis. in the ukraine should us do more for last. lol let's not look don't get involved in the ukrainian it would be like a rash of getting involved in the affairs of puerto rico. they're not going to do what we should be involved in the ukraine there is no national security interests here at stake and i know you'll hear politicians beating their chests arguing the opposite

go on to argue that there is no national security interest here at risk and the government has an obligation to protect us against foreign governments that though we might do us harm this is not one of those situations. all right former new mexico governor and two thousand presidential candidate gary johnson take you very much there. lindsay thank you very much ukraine's interim president of the country security forces are unable to halt unrest rolling through ukraine southeast of the anti government forces seize the city hall and police station in the city of cornwall. the latest hot spot this came only hours after protesters took over three administrative buildings in the nearby regional center of the gods. our police force is also reportedly joined the grass. the event in eastern ukraine our teeth polished player reports for us from donetsk. this building was taken tonight

in addition he told this is not a vehicle which isn't mine and his manic pace twenty four seven. but until then those with access to the regional administration building. investors with a governess fact this is when north of cost. this is with a budget wasn't true. no it is special commission can get in the form of gold was seized on the seventh of april. on the tomb was the guy wants mechanic. child care. we could fill a room which i hope to get a better job of the business over. i don't want to have to worry about whether i'm making up to feed my family and fiddle with all the same meat industry. construction work and now his job. he calls it sleepy. several times today this is what i know. most of

my life for the future of motueka and will be rulers or not. i was in the wind its way the self defense unit nine cents and in light of the top is we the peoples republic of sydney operates from. it is old. this includes our marina witnesses over plans to attend his job. no vocals are still low i decided to stand strong until the end you need it wants in on my flight to his future. the picnic. no confrontations. if a company hopes to convince him to hospital. it's stupid can the law. my teeth automatically mind how great they need. i warned my job at anfield in the media right now. one on the rise of

the building. and why i decided the info i had to constantly with ukraine. to me. afghanistan president make our site began lashing out at coalition forces now accusing them of continuing to operate illegal detention facilities in the country they are times reports that a commission appointed by karzai reportedly found six detention facilities. two coalition bases in southern afghanistan. three of the secret prisons are allegedly run by british forces to my american forces and one by the international security assistance force the issue remains over how many teachings remain in the presence of commission member tells the associated press that six afghan detainees were discovered at the british run facility at kandahar airfield and seventeen at the british jail at camp bastion. none were found us presents. but of different afghan officials tells the washington post that detainee is for fair to all sides except the isbn

front seven. president karzai has long disputed the coalition forces detention act of afghans and has insisted his government would honor all detention facilities the country instead. the dispute came to a head earlier this year when karzai freed dozens of prisoners the coalition considered dangerous. instead of trying them in court the us says is awaiting the official findings of his latest investigation. but it can surprise that the afghan government is taking issue with the presents. us defence department spokeswoman with us matt tells his dusty impressed. every facility the plea is for detention is well known not only by the government of the islamic republic of afghanistan. also by the international committee of the red cross tensions are high between the us and afghanistan karzai has refused to sign a security agreement to keep a strong us force of trainers in the country after the end of the year. washington is helping cause a successor to help reset relations

the ongoing nsa scandal continues to follow president obama all the way to his doorstep. on thursday german chancellor merkel for a ride on an official visit to washington d c meeting with president obama and other critical business figures topics include the events in ukraine transatlantic free trade. and of course dealing with a part of the surveillance disclosures which revealed last year that chancellor merkel was personally being spied on by the nsa. as for millions of average german citizens hence am just a few blocks from the white house the national press club former nsa contractor turned whistleblower adverts netting received even our award for truth telling. he shared the honors with filmmaker laura returns the first journalist he reached out to the documents. artsy political commentator send faxes the keyword ceremony he joined me earlier i first asked him to tell me about it this is an annual events the end of the organization

in the four of war says a book prize or surprise for documentary filmmaking their surprise for courage. there's this truth telling prize which was to investigative journalists whistleblowers and this is what edward starting or fortress the convention the turn was the first reach up to. were awarded today. um edwards and his family was on hands us who was attorney justin redux up whistleblower thomas trigg who won this award back in two thousand eleven was there a member of congress alan grayson is there also. ralph nader a former presidential candidate was there i spoke with him about a few issues after the ceremony. also snowed in in law reporters themselves appeared live video into a dress that the conference noted that talked about his motivations for releasing these documents that he kept reiterating the point that he wanted to return these documents to the american people. that was the main message or to cross the doctor install a walk to us that they belong to the american people. it was necessary that the american people see these documents but we can have the sordid debate over their essays

capabilities. law reporters talked about her first interactions with snowden about beating up or encryption knowledge that to handle these these documents um interesting thing there was hardly any other mainstream media that the events. this is something i ralph nader brought up when i talk to him afterwards it's a good reason the people god your words today for blowing the whistle on destructive behavior by our government against our constitution against our laws who weren't were not interesting enough for any of the media to show up any of us me mainstream media to show up. but to her there's no audio or video recording allowed active and of course that didn't stop us from being their incumbent real interest in facing criminal charges their concerns borders of what might be might be said that the sort of ann summers lot of caution about the court was switched with recording was loved by many new specifics about what the nsa may be up to it and that nothing new as far as

new documents or anything like that starting to dress a few important issues to talk about the future us justice system not. within twenty four hours had charges slapped on him once they found out we was disallowed people like james clock for the director of national intelligence to lie to congress with impunity and other members the government to physically violated all these laws in this domestic surveillance program of that's been revealed. umm you all soo. i'd talked about the existential crisis that the nsa finds itself in having to both defend the internet and also use the internet to attack targets to go after targets and we seemed to these revelations that the nsa has known about weaknesses in encryption and itself is actively created weaknesses and encryption. so starting to question doubt while why do we have an agency that is both a working against itself um then he also threw his support the usa freedom corps to be more stronger reform locals working its way

through congress with the senator patrick leahy reader mentioned earlier talked about it as well as a congressman jim sensenbrenner who can house two worlds of the pitch or not this would do away with them is a small credit data collection program. snowden said that this was a good piece of legislation he supports. this isn't the only award. it's noted an afghan journalist was working with have collected since these disclosures came out. what do these accolades do for snowed in as far as his efforts to eventually returned to united states. what a good melody what he did in his twenty one the limpopo polk awards won several awards sun set over the last year and even more important are what we've seen in the courts we sold it to a federal court here in washington dc about to rule that the is programmed up bone dry that program was likely unconstitutional we've seen present obama himself come out and i've changed the way this program operates to all of these continue to validate what edward started and didn't we learn this week that he is

talking with where she's trying to figure out a way to get back to the united states is probably use a lot of this top is evidence of why he should be thrown in prison for thirty years like that like government seems to want to do and another shirt spoke with the ralph nader about was how edward services closures have united the left and the right in politics trade this for a new coalition that can and do a lot of this stuff. there was a christmas dinner talking about it. neither is left right coalition on this an alliance on this both in opinion polls in operation the people who got the awards and were recognized surpass two words today some of them are conservative republicans patriots others are liberal democrats. the left right alliance in this country to dismantle a corporate state of crony capitalism is becoming political alignment in our country. it's really the point in just a year ago we saw all the left and right on the other house in yearly deep on the nsa is up on drug programs will see how that is

very interesting that well let's let's switch gears and talk about an important visits the white house this weekend although not all that and were caught. i canceled the trip last year when she when she and the announcement being spied on to go over too well what can we expect from this visit was the first meeting with his first ashes commitment has existed since it was revealed that there was no spy on her directly with the top of the issue on the agenda is obviously ukraine. merkel the chancellor merkel has been talk to prove more than any other western leaders tearing up during this whole crisis and the prez obama wants to pressure pressure her to apply more sanctions of course overpopulation is a lil bit weird to do that sort of thing. um but ukraine is autistic and are times for the nsa is autistic and dominate this this conversation she's facing a lot of pressure back home others calls for her to demand the nsa file on her ears cause her to enter into an agreement with united states and no spider in it like five by the us canada uk australia and you have. but those are likely to happen so

they don't have high oaks the germans don't have high hopes that this will have read and you can see breakthroughs. but it's not an issue she can ignore what's going to kill her anger at least we know exactly how she felt so we'll see what the press release a shower and then back at that meeting coming up by thinking it might come to that the governor of oklahoma has called for a review of the botched execution over a prison inmate in her state last night thirty eight year old clayton look at rebuilding came from the state's new lethal injection cocktail hour and forty three minutes later of a heart attack. it was first administered. we got the latter said that as a sedative brother and declared unconscious ten minutes later doctors reportedly began to administer the second and third rounds to stop breathing and then stop the heart when lockett began breathing heavily countries teach and straining to lift his head. the parade and then close the blinds on the wind expert witnesses from seeing what's happening in the death chamber. authorities say they

tried to halt the execution when things were visibly going wrong. but lockett dying of a heart attack a short time later. officials blame enraptured made that state is awaiting results from an autopsy. ellis said the execution was scheduled last night for another oklahoma in may. that's due to the first botched execution governor mary fallen. the issue this day governor palin treated. i posted tonight. the second execution postpone rather slight second execution in order and annihilation of oklahoma's lethal dosage protocol. the state has released has refused either to release details on the drugs being used and where they were obtained markov was accused of shooting a nineteen year old woman and wanted to let us bury her alive. police officers are supposed to serve and protect but one officer on the beach in florida. apparently much to skip class today that was taught a police academy thirty seven year old officer kevin curtis was suspended from pembroke pines police department this week

after evidence from crime to repeal his own criminal act police say in this surveillance video you can see optus or birds inside the jewelry store that had been robbed. while responding to a break in police say the officer decided to swipe a watch valued at nearly eight hundred dollars. he was arrested on a grand theft charge and suspended without pay while his case makes its way through the courts. then after some kind of cop investigating a burglary at a jewelry store and he knows their surveillance cameras everywhere. he just think it wouldn't get caught. i remember someone is always watching especially in this day and age. now for the store is becoming a teacher dot com flash art america and check out our website are kept on special effects can also follow me on twitter and france. i'll see you back here friday eight pm thanks for watching do you see. something was amiss

often an odd canada on the sea. boring actually the attack. giant to buy a seventy six year old american walao to think it is going to create the fbi. do you think this is what's been going. this database. it's the saddest. lights. i just bought. wake up and start talking about the real causes

the boards off the ball about how americans feel about their government. the degree of thought. they never called me at my opinion. sometimes they just ask ridiculous questions like who run the government better not be portrayed as. taking the annual poll recently down in the one that showed a new and lamented how terrible americans feel about their government and the new album is in the air the people surveyed said that they actually pierre federal government now. when he didn't like the youth of the alley actually cooler than. because more than half of the people surveyed also

said that the federal government is actually a threat to individual liberty too. take a look at lots of interesting aspect of who fears the government announced today that they feared the government more than winning and younger voters did. the lino. instead they're scared of uncle sam more than democrats. forty two percent of voters with and i wonder how they fear the government. i did more than half of the union members at all. more information call about how everyone think the government is preventing the other used to hearing the act. that kind of run of the mill disgruntled meant nothing their poll after poll confirms that more than a third of americans think not even do a better job. one thing that they base their jobs or that their core. it's another to actually hear that even though it's a terrible ending i say that i have to

hear what's going on in washington. we have a bunch of corrupt making wool during the week. i should be the end. it is turning into a giant oligarchy that is probably growing high tech week and a really neat to watch and control what we should be carried the question if we'd run into the health care than our home for their team even our facebook group start to break out and buy again and carry machine. i guess we'll know which way americans bowled out for me he would not be in a black top of that. can i talk about that but i will introduce at the rest. check

the and. i do. it did. and one. i do. ch do. we will

what will . law. nhk world news line it's now eight am on thursday me first on the spot on in tokyo. an explosion has local railway station in china's change and we are autonomous region three people have reportedly been killed and seventy nine in check. the blast occurred in the main city of a raunchy on wednesday evening the steak lunch and when news agency says an unidentified into the show went on a stabbing spree at a railway station then deton
