so it was in our pleasure but that's still not enough to stop the harassment from the g.o.p. and from everyone's favorite obama hater rush limbaugh. has a beach closed down in spain after taken forty of her best friends in a leasing sixty rooms in a five star hotel paid for by you because they deserve it. come on russia where do you get your facts taxpayers are not paying for the hotels those are being paid for by the first family that's why obama has a salary and by the people that are accompanying them on the trip but you know i don't let those facts get in the way of a good old story and that's why you guys the media are tonight's tool time winners for your over the top coverage of michelle's little trip to spain because personally i think the first lady deserves a vacation. now this past friday marked the dropping of the atomic bomb on hiroshima three days later the u.s. dropped a second bomb on nagasaki creating even more damage and destruction but as our t.

correspondent sean thomas reports the effects of those bombs are still being felt six years later as people continue to suffer emotional and physical effects of nuclear weapons. sixty five years ago sumi taro taniguchi was enjoying a simple morning bicycle ride when in a tragic instant his life was changed forever. i was thrown to the ground and i didn't eat piecing sound i thought i had been killed but i encouraged myself not to die that it was important to go on living. at first noticed his bicycle had been twisted and bent out of shape but as he started to move he began to realize the severity of his own condition she got up there. and my left arm and shoulder in my skin was dripping off and i had severe burns on my buddy. eleven year old yoshi kawi was at home with his twin brother just two kilometers from the

blast center on that fateful morning homme eleven o two i saw the flash of light and dove to the floor to cover my head and ears there was a wave and our entire house crushed over us go and his brothers crawled from the rubble and went into the city to look for their father who worked at the mitsubishi munitions plant close to the heart of the explosion on their way they found countless charred bodies and a terrifying scene you have. well crossing the river we were drawn to a woman who was walking with what looked like a white belt or cloth trailing behind her when we took a closer look at it we saw that it was intestines coming out of her stomach there was nothing we could do. this is the hyper center of the bomb which means sixty five years ago it exploded five hundred meters above this exact spot and the people who suffered that horrific event well their stories are truly amazing but what they didn't know back then and just as disturbing is the long term effects of that

radiation the medical effect is continuing. cutting her. that is sixty five five sixty. so the other through that the radiation is affecting human bodies for sixty five years so we tara taniguchi has had continuous surgeries throughout his life to remove tumors on his back caused by the radiation now he declares that the war did not end in one thousand nine hundred five but rather the effects continue to this day and even though. he wasn't as severely injured initially as an adult he has endured liver disease and two types of cancer attributed to the bomb as well as the psychological damage of the event. was extremely cruel america should never have dropped the bombs on human beings the tests in new mexico should have been the end of nuclear weapons once the full power of these weapons was no. but having experienced the wrath of the world's most

devastating weapon these two survivors have one shared message that in psychology and people use the wood deterrent but i do not believe that human beings can co-exist with nuclear submarines a reason why a bomb survivors of hiroshima and nagasaki are pushing for peace and complete global nuclear disarmament sean thomas forty nagasaki japan. now if you happen to be watching the news on any of the cable networks here in the us today you probably didn't see any coverage on the anniversary of the bombing of nagasaki the sixty fifth anniversary nobody even bothered to mention one of the darkest days in the history of the world because nobody wants to remember that the us is the only country that's ever used nuclear weapons and not once but twice like one of the survivors said the full damage has now been seen and that damage continues more than half a century later and yet for some reason

a we still have nuclear weapons we still have politicians who are opposed to reducing arsenals who are opposed to ratifying the new start treaty i just don't understand how they can talk about nuclear threats from north korea and iran every day and forget about the harm that this country has already caused hiroshima and nagasaki the days of the bombs dropped on those two japanese cities are two days that nobody on this earth should ignore because they showed just how destructive men can be and yet the mainstream media like i said just didn't even bother to address it so shame on them. well by now i'm sure that everybody has seen the cover of the new time magazine everyone has memorized the image of eighteen year old an afghan woman whose nose and ears were sliced off by her husband the words next to that picture which say what happens if we leave afghanistan but do images like those really make people care do they really

convince americans their country is fighting for a worthy cause because they show the stark realities of that country and not war or could this be exploitation just an excuse for time to boost their dwindling sales were discussed with me as an issue the same editor and founder of the blog point honestly thanks so much for being here and salute for what you know this isn't the first time that we've seen pictures like this i think everyone remembers the iconic photo of national geographic from the one nine hundred eighty s. also a beautiful young afghan woman with those piercing green eyes and know whatever forget it but come on and we were not there to liberate the women of afghanistan this is not what this war is about so why do you think the media these magazines why do they continue to do this well i think it's really interesting that you just said we're not there delivery of women because if you remember this is not the first time that we've seen the plight of afghan women being employed as a very successful emotional tool before the u.s.

actually invaded afghanistan the plight of afghan women was deployed as a really successful emotional tool to garner support for the invasion and if you remember it was all about the u.s. going into afghanistan to liberate the women of afghanistan to lift the veil to remove the veil what's behind the veil so it's very interesting now eight years later that when the support for this war has really had an all time low once again we're seeing the deployment of the plight of afghan women being used to kind of remind the american public why we're supposed to know that we care about the people there you know it's funny because even before we. you know the leak of all of these do. documents they had leaked the plan by the cia of how to convince the bigger pinioned public has been dwindling for this war how to convince them to still care about it and feel that they're fighting for a worthy cause and you know also very sad that there is specifically the french they were targeting to use women for rent i mean do you think this is exploitation this is all this is

a horrible story this woman's this is really tragic what happened to her but is she being completely exploited here well i think that. i think that she is being exploited and i think this entire cause is being exploited but at the same time this is real this girl is a real girl the story of her is a real story and atrocities like this are happening to afghan women every single day and i think that the question that this time magazine cover us is a really important question and i think it deserves to be answered but at the same time it's important to remember that this happened while the u.s. was there this didn't happen in the early one nine hundred ninety s. this happened now while the u.s. presence in afghanistan is still very much a real presence so i think it's a reminder it's important because it puts women back at the discussion table it puts the issue of afghan women you know front and center in the minds of the american public but at the same time it's important to remember that over the course of this war women have gone down in the gender when it comes to u.s. policy on have gone it's done when they should be at the top where i mean these

things happened before the u.s. went to afghanistan this happened while the u.s. is currently there so you know could this happen if the u.s. leaves afghanistan yes this probably will happen again but i just don't know i mean are people really convinced of this really make them. support the war again and feel like their country is they're fighting for a worthy cause why why is this allowed and yet it's we're not allowed to show pictures of dead soldiers or at least we weren't for such a long time well i think what you said is really true but at the same time this is a tried and true tactic really pulls at people's hearts when they see something like this but i think it's so in that exploitation if they're using i come on these girls for the most part are active girls you know i mean these are pretty pictures had they picked. i'm sorry to say you know i got to be honest had they picked an unattractive afghan girl and not you know dolled her up and done her hair nicely for the photo shoot would have pulled the heartstrings the same way i don't think it's about being an attractive image i think it's about being a powerful image but i think what's important is if we're going to exploit those

cars while we're there let's try to do something about it let's try to make good on all those. this is that we need to afghan women instead of continuously exploiting them and just bringing up their cause when it's convenient for us we and that's something that i think happens time and time again in any wars women are used as this pawn as you know a part of the population that needs to be helped but then we can forget about them for a while and then we need support again and we might start playing it up again you know this so you said this is about the power of the image also it's about shock value obviously definitely do you think people are still affected by things like this by these pictures i think so and i think that the conversation in the media has been really interesting because a lot of people are saying what will happen i mean this question almost makes you think that if the u.s. leaves afghanistan this is what's going to happen to a gun women but i think what's more important to focus on is that this is happening you know women out there so we have to bring the focus back to afghan women because i think up until now with the u.s. has done is given a lot of lip service to afghan women this plight is real what is happening to often

women in terms of violence against them i think the statistic is about seventy five percent approximately of afghan women that experience violence every single day in their homes so i think the issue is real so we should have an honest discussion of it's an important issue and it shouldn't say what happens if we leave but this is happening right now and shaping so much rain here we have just one segment left on tonight's show hollywood is now using porn sites to advertise their latest films or at least one movie in particular is reaching out a triplex sites to promote their projects but we have to ask this method of advertising affective and doesn't mean that we've now entered a new age will host a debate on the issue after the break.

i am. if you were to offer me this deal i take it every time it's really a silly story but in light of all the incarceration talk this is an example of

somebody getting off really easy in america a prosecutor and a defense attorney have agreed to let an albuquerque new mexico man avoid jail time for fraud by playing poker but i'm not making that up samuel mcmaster perfect name is accused of defrauding investors out of four hundred and forty four thousand dollars a but he can avoid jail time altogether if he wins enough money to pay back his victims by playing in poker tournaments the master started playing poker after his arrest for securities fraud and apparently the guy is pretty good so the judge agreed to the deal and the master is now free to travel the country and try to win back all that money that he lost so if he can repay all of his former clients mcmasters a free man but if he can't win back the money he'll be sent to jail for twelve years and he has to start making payments of seventy five hundred dollars a by november if he missed two payments he's off to jail anyway i guess i've to say here is you know good luck to sail mcmaster but seriously if this guy gets to go

out and play poker to stay out of jail i think that means clearly we need to give other people a chance as well. now advertisements in this day and age are everywhere or almost specifically when it comes to hollywood apparently those in the film industry who like to plaster their movie posters on everything from billboards and bus stops to magazines well apparently they don't advertise on porn websites until now. to get credit cards any. and deliver any really really good free transfers were just. well this new film middle men in just a few weeks has seen more than thirty million times has been seen more than thirty million times on board websites

a trailer which makes us question if porn which for so long has been looked down upon entry to the smarts is finally becoming mainstream and even the highbrow hollywood elites are going to adult web sites for attention well here to discuss it with me is chris crap chris clapp logan director of communications at enough is enough and former new york studio we have to leave marcus editor of the last and co-founder and editor of the web site the assistance ladies thank you both for joining me now chris i'll start with you do you think this is a big deal here that we apparently i don't even know until today that hollywood doesn't do this but this is supposedly the first mainstream movie that's actually advertising itself on porn websites is that a big deal to you well it is a big deal in the fact that this is as you say the first mainstream movie that's advertising actually on porn sites if you go to most normal porn sites what you see are a lot of sexually oriented businesses sex toys etc other porn sites advertise and so it is a big deal in that sense this particular movie does focus on the progress and its

role and kind of launching the internet so it's really no surprise from that perspective but we have seen is a lot of cross marketing really in mainstream media and a lot of our culture we've seen the porn kind of influences have infected whether it's you know popular music whether it's m.t.v. whether it's a lot of t.v. shows you know progress has really become mainstream and this is just one more step one more drop in the bucket of that kind of flood of horrific ation of our culture that we write this movie is in fact about the man who created the online porn industry made it possible for people to buy porn online but i mean they're making a movie about it which means people care so little do you think a porn is now mainstream it's completely acceptable in our culture. well look i think the first problem is trying to define what mainstream it is i mean we have so much more media now than we used to we don't have three t.v. channels anymore we have hundreds of channels we have the internet which has thousands of website on it it's really really hard to determine when something is mainstream these days frankly i don't think this is a huge deal i think it's

a test balloon yes this is the first movie that's advertising on the triple x. website if it doesn't do well then that's what's going to take the hit people are going to say it's because they advertise on porn website and i don't think it'll happen again for a while i mean i think we will have to see the film itself isn't being advertised everywhere so is it going to do as well as perhaps you know avatar some the other big heads we don't know about that but just on the web site like i said you know it's received thirty million times more hits online the trailer and only four people have watched the full trailer on the actual website for the film so clearly this is where people are people are watching horror and why don't they want to admit it well i think that one of the things i believe it would be seen a big shift in our culture over the past fifteen years because through the internet is more accessible it's free and easy for anyone you know used to be something that we had to go to the see the bookstore you know kind of in that sketchy part of town to actually get pornography but now anyone including children women men are

accessing this content whether it's to their i phone or whatever and so a lot of times people are accessing this content it's become more normal culture and even though not everyone wants to say that they're accessing that is becoming more and more normal so i think that what we will see is that a lot of people begin to actually admit the fact that they're using this content but it doesn't have a good impact on our culture that's one of the things that's very misleading a lot of people think that pornography will actually aid them sexually it will help them experience love or affirmation or sex with a partner and that's just really not the case but we do know that a lot of people are accessing this content because it is so free it is so easy for them to people are accessing it forty million americans go online to get pornography forty million people is a lot to reckon with. and you may think that this was always something that was seedy in back alley but i think people are starting to be more honest about sexuality and the fact that it exists and i think they're trying to keep porn yes there are kinds of porn that i don't like but it's not really my place to tell other people what's right and wrong well one of the unfortunate things about the industry is that we see that so much of progress feet glorify sex their content is

very normal but unfortunately what we have found is that the vast majority of that content that's available that's free and easy for kids to access it's a main seller on the adult video network actually includes a lot of violence it includes content that could be prosecuted actually is obscenity it's not glorifying it's an empowering for men or women it actually commodity sex and that's one of the things that unfortunately is very harmful for men and women i mean there's you know there's the good the bad and everything right you could find movies that are not pornographic you could find video games where there's also a lot of violence things are probably little kids should be seeing but you know leaders saying that so many people watch porn these days but you know it is still looked down upon if we look for example. hewlett packard who recently had to step down and at first we hear this because of some of the bills that were and then we realized that his girlfriend was a porn star and people just don't like that one of the head c.e.o. of a company can't date a porn star i think there's going to be a big wave getting

a lot of is that a lot of kids you know they've been been spoon fed a steady diet of pornography and because of that there's been a normalization so a lot of the kids that we've talked to they think that progress is no big deal but it does become a big deal and actually trying to relate to a partner when actually trying to really play out what does this mean to actually interact sexually to have a loving relationship and the message is that it can be fairly harmful and that's one of the things that we try to do is educate parents protect kids from those type of dangers but you know it's one of those things that i think it will become more and more normal because of this mass marketing this normalization of progress in the media it's all all over the place it's becoming mainstream and it's something that. a lot of our younger generation just don't get it is a big deal at all but now people are this is what i resent the porn stars are like if we have laurence fishburne daughter that is not a sex tape come out there is still those had sex tapes king cardassian it gets you famous these days. well also i think the problem is some of the people who i've

spoken with who are the most obsessed with sexuality are people who want to ban it and are people who feel the need to throw out statistics and talk about how it ruins people's lives not the people who have accepted it as a normal part of who we are sexuality isn't something to fear and i think that's the problem like there's anything out there that could affect a child negatively we should think more about family as an individual children rather than expecting everybody in the world to police your kids for you well i think that sexuality is a wonderful thing you know it's something that helps us relate to one another it's important for for our young girls and boys as they grow up to understand healthy sexuality are understanding though and just our interactions with pornography is that it's not healthy for young girls and young boys and the exposure levels becoming younger and younger we're dealing with clinicians psychologists who are actually becoming you know they're interacting with kids who are addicted at ages eight nine ten eleven and it's becoming a very powerful miseducation for our children and it's something that we really have to counterbalance that's why parents have to be involved that's why we did our

internet safety want to one program to educate equip and empower parents to protect their kids from this type of content because it is so pervasive and unfortunately no matter how many safeguards our parents are actually using. is so invasive it's something that kids are going to interact with and a lot of the messages there are harmful unfortunately ok now the last word is we've got to wrap it up in a second do you think it's scary harmful that porn is something that we have to get used to it's just going to be around and everyone's going to be able to access it. look i think something that makes three billion dollars a year is pretty difficult to reckon with and if you really want to speak out against pornography and you don't want them to advertise and you don't want it to be public use your wallet but with your wallet if you really don't want something. don't buy it all right gentlemen our lady excuse me i thank you both very much for giving us your thoughts i've got to wrap it up for the night right before we go tonight so i'm far too late of the day we want to ask what would first lady michelle obama think about all of that ridiculous media coverage of her vacation so that had us come up with what we thought she would tweet vacation to the u.s.

every month we give you the future we'll do you understand how we'll get there and what tomorrow brings the best in science and technology from across russia and around the world. join us for technology update on our g. archie continues to track the wildfires raging across parts of russia devastating

homes and villages and lives. and moscow's again in the grip of smog a toxic cloud covers the russian capital after a short break the day before forcing manny to escape from the city out of fear for their health. worsens all the most watched people in the world with more c.c.t.v. cameras per capita than any other nation and it's here at the university of resig that the new in-flight surveillance system is being developed. the new e.u. project is aimed at tapping terrorism but many worry it will erode privacy. plus politics interfering with justice the cases of women in the u.s. for a role was improved but then overturned by the state governor legal campaigners call for an end to that system.

as i am in moscow you are watching r t. after a few hours of relief on monday millions of russians are in ghana waking up to a sick layer of smog is forest and peace fires continue to rage across the country experts have already called the current record breaking heat wave the worst sow's in years cross live to a nice and now a who's following this is straight for us in a region good morning to you and he so can you describe what's happening where you are what's the situation there like in the suburbs. or about one hundred fifty kilometers southeast of moscow in one of the most affected areas of the region of course these fires have been raging for weeks in fact the village which you can see behind me or at least the outskirts of what we're hearing from local officials is in great danger as we speak of flames that are quickly moving towards it we're going to try to move closer to those fires to see what exactly the situation is there and how people are dealing with it of course when one family's home is

destroyed it's a tragedy but in this situation entire villages are being destroyed and you have to remember that in parts of russia like this in the suburbs these are old homes these are homes that have been passed down from generation to generation and people are watching their entire lives disappear in the matter of minutes of the situation is just it extreme it's almost like you can't find words to describe it we're going to try to talk to those people throughout the day of course fifty two people already known to have died hundreds injured now receiving treatment and thousands homeless authorities and volunteers as well as emergencies and services are having a very very fierce battle trying to keep these fires under control and no one can really exactly say what the situation is and of course when they are going to get completely under control. and that's of course the situation in the suburbs where you are the moment but what is it like in central moscow this morning to have a chance to perhaps you know have a look around when you while you were getting too worried.
