broadcasting live from moscow this is our team where it is seven thirty in the morning you take a look at your top headlines now at least thirty are heard as a car bomb rocks a bustling city center in southern russia hours after a suicide bomber kills one and injures three policemen in the republic of north a. former u.s. ambassador to the u.n. john bolton says that if israel is to attack iran's nuclear plant and share it's got just three days left to do it because any military strike after the facility goes live later this week with risk of radioactive could be. taking matters into their own hands afghanistan's president wants to stop private security companies operating in the country prompting fears that nato troops will struggle to cope. and the dropping visas for football fans and

new state of the art studio built from scratch here are the key selling points to a visiting fee for delegation in russia bid to host the soccer world cup eight twelve years time. that's a look at our headlines and my colleague marina joshie will be here in about thirty minutes with a full look at your news right now it's back to the only on the show. are two all time winner for the night is the cia he the agency has suddenly discovered cia tapes that show the interrogation of nine eleven suspects ramzi bin al s'shibh of the tapes reportedly show being are being questioned in iraq and were in prison back in two thousand and two and u.s. officials are downplaying the significance of these tapes they say just shows a guy sitting at a desk answering questions no big deal now they're said to be the only it were courting from a defunct cia secret jail network if you recall the u.s.

government said that the cia destroyed ninety two videotapes of interrogations of terror suspects so a yemeni national was named amongst the most wanted suspects within weeks of the nine eleven attacks and is now set to face charges brought by the pentagon and he's currently being held at the u.s. detention facility at guantanamo bay so we'll see if those tapes could now be used as evidence and whether we might actually find out if all that's on them is really a guy sitting at a desk being asked questions but here's the best part of the story guess where these tapes were found air found under a desk at langley air force base in virginia you would think that sensitive information like that would be looked after a little more responsibly but anyway that got us thinking what else would the cia find if they just looked under everyone's desks. at it cia counterterrorism unit. no no all those tapes were destroyed back in two

thousand and five. i'm sorry senator i can't just make them appear yes we looked everywhere to be rude while tell you this if they happen to turn up i'm sure that you will be the very first person that we contact. what is that guy's rob he takes it so personally i killed his daughters. well well what do we have here weapons of mass destruction property of iraq george that is the. perfect target city great inspiration love those sama with

a return address when god was ahmadinejad right. barack obama's birth certificate. stupid t.v. series i told you oh my god is that what i think it is michelle this will definitely get your arms defined michelle's work to help video by john base to. i i have to try to i have to have her arms. now i'm not really sure of the weapons of mass destruction there at the cia building but how can these tapes just be sitting under a desk for so long and nobody knew they were there really makes you feel better knowing the cia can't find tapes that were literally sitting under their feet and the cia is one of the agencies that's supposed to help protect the us from

terrorist attacks that's why the cia is tonight's tool time later. to nuclear weapons have been a major concern for the us in recent months with warnings from iran and north korea many people like john bolton are fearing that these governments are moving forward with plans to create massive destruction you know maybe all we need is a true diplomatic voice r.t. correspondent dina kosofsky asks if maybe children are the key to keeping foreign governments from using their nuclear arsenals and bring peace to the world. five four three. one. what can one person do to prevent images like these to change or even save the world. more than two decades ago eleven year old samantha smith answered that question we were living back then obviously during the cold war i would get top

secret briefings about the end of the world what would happen that nuclear war exterminated us and here comes this girl you know speaking truths that the adults hadn't yet learned and the adults kind of said well she's right the troops were reflected in a letter that the little girl wrote to the soviet leader at the time you dionne drop of expressing her concern about the possibility of a nuclear war between the soviet union and the united states a time. same when mutual assured destruction was becoming an all too realistic possibility it was met and she came along and she basically said this is stupid why don't you adults do something about it or i'm going to inherit a world war i may not live to be an adult unfortunately samantha smith did not live to be an adult she was killed in a plane crash just a few years after her diplomatic efforts but her legacy lives on and she lives a rock star moment she had her moment she made the most of it and she left than an

impact and now a korean american boy named jonathan we want to make his own impact for him to try and present this letter chairman kim jong il it's about what i'm going to try and accomplish there the thirteen year old plans to go to north korea to propose the creation of a children's peace far is to quote one in which fruit and chestnut trees would be planted and where children can play on his website he acknowledged that quote many people may say that there's no hope and there's too much conflict for this to happen but i see hope on the korean peninsula his plans are of both parties of both borders of both conflicts of ideology it's all about giving hope to the people and children around the world the most beautiful thing about children is their innocence their ability to see the world in its purest forms and oftentimes the simple truth that they speak make the most sense and can even make

a difference but although some personal diplomatic efforts achieve greatness others fall through the cracks case in point human shield in iraq in january two thousand and three volunteers travel to iraq to act as human shields their goal was to prevent the bombing of certain locations during the invasion. but they came nowhere close to stopping the destruction asked for jonathan just a little bit excited because not many people get to do this kind of stuff. it's kind of you know rare thing history will judge the impact of his efforts but most would agree we're all rooting for him for our t.v. . the u.s. has the largest prison system in the world it's a topic that we've discussed at length here on this show according to a recent pew report two point three million americans are currently incarcerated

the number of inmates has more than tripled since one thousand nine hundred three and the cost of corrections has risen to a whopping sixty eight point seven billion dollars but the odd thing is that it's not because crime has risen in america it's because sentences have the kneejerk reaction to simply lock people up adds but imagine this what if our prisons no longer have walls what if we allowed prisoners to go back out into society and be monitored with electronic devices twenty four seven everywhere they went it would save billions of dollars maybe even train convicts to become law abiders but with the public effort go for it we're here to discuss it with me from our los angeles studio is mark kleiman professor of public policy at the u.c.l.a. school of public affairs mark thanks so much for joining us i have to ask you this you know the idea of allowing prisoners to be out in society just like normal people might seem a little radical to some people in america but in fact if you look at the figures only one third of americans that are quote serving time are actually behind bars or

already a lot of other programs in place so why don't we hear about that on the news why does no one advertise that. well we do it's called probation and parole so yes there are about twice as many people on community corrections as there are institutional corrections and one way to start a program of close monitoring would be with people who are currently out rather than people who are currently and so judge amin hawaii started the hope for him and demonstrated that you can actually enforce probation conditions so that probation is who had been out there using methamphetamine and stealing discover they had to stop because they were being tested frequently and every time they were dirty they were spending a couple days or a week in jail and that worked beautifully. so i think that's the way star let's start with current probationers and parolees demonstrate that we can get their behavior under control and then once you've done that then ask the question how many of the people who are currently holding could safely be out if they were watched carefully but i certainly would start with letting people out let's start

with the people that are out already and committing a substantial fraction of our new crimes now tell me this let's say that you know we begin with the people there already out there we move on to those that are behind bars that for perhaps a nonviolent crimes if those people were allowed out and we started using these surveillance systems how much money with that save the taxpayers. you know why with the probation program. the savings about three times the cost of the program. if we let somebody out of prison who is costing probably thirty thousand dollars a year on average the community monitored would cost about three thousand dollars a year so now he'd be back in for part of that because people do actually buy late and have to be sanctioned but figure twenty five thousand dollars per year per prisoner you laid out so if you let out one hundred thousand people. that two point

five billion dollars a year it's not small. and again i think the potential savings are are probably ten times that size now i mean that sounds like something that the main the main good advantage of course is go ahead sorry but the main advantage is not the direct cash savings it's reduced crime and it's getting people's lives back on track so how do you currently going to have the them have recently doing life in prison on the installment plan in and out and in are now out and in and out and the question is how to break that cycle you know how do you how do you claim to average directions the way to do that how do you explain that to average americans that this will actually reduce crime because i think that everyone around the willie horton of the world that's what they automatically think is that people are repeat offenders and if you take a convict or a criminal and you let them out into the loose all they're going to do is you know can commit another crime well some of them will we remember we let almost everybody out very few people actually die in prison so they're all going to get out

eventually question is when under what conditions but if the goal is to be able to release somebody and have never committed crime again that's fantasy world that doesn't exist so you just have to hope that the population will be more adult and some of its politicians are. why i think but how do you do that how do you sell this properly to the public because politicians can go out there but even if they want the politicians often you know take strict actions because they fear they won't be reelected because of how the public might react so i think the thing to do is to demonstrate that you can actually reduce crime by getting control of people currently on parole on probation and i would add on bail or pretrial release so started out as a crime control program like hope you know why. once that's done once people start to trust probation and parole as a real alternatives to incarceration then judges will put more people on probation and release people more quickly on parole and i think the thing will happen rather

naturally yes there's of course always the fear of willy horton by the way letting people out who are quote nonviolent offenders doesn't really protect against that because somebody is in for a nonviolent offense this time they have a record that someone more complicated the best people who let out from a crime control control perspective or the old people who committed a violent crime at twenty five and have been ever been in ever since fifty five year olds don't commit a lot of violent crime now i just have to ask you one last question here because if the idea is to monitor people let's say through you know certain electronic devices through these ankle bracelets then do we have a fear that that might go too far that some of my abuse that system and take advantage of it and it's no longer going to be former prisoners who have ankle bracelets on but i doubt you know anybody that's arrested for a dui is going to have to wear an ankle bracelet and you know maybe if you just spend one night in jail they put one on you. sure sure the cheaper and simpler

you make punishment the greater the risk people are due to too much of it. and so you simply have to hope for some moderation. of the programs are expensive enough so i don't think we're going to be done casually. but. but our current system is we've got a lot of people inside who i think could be out and a lot of people on the outside who are not being monitored and are in fact committing a lot of new crimes so this clearly has to be the right direction to move in. and i hope that people be watching closely and make sure it doesn't go to four but the first thing is to get it done the first thing is to get control of the five million people who are supposed to be under correctional supervision who are not currently actually being supervised that's not tolerable that has to change our michael thank you very much for joining us and we'll see if i do yes like these really do mark excuse me i have ideas like is really do pick up across the u.s. thanks so much thanks. i was taking

a break but still to come on tonight's show west virginia's motto is wild wonderful but a new report might force the state to change its logan stay tuned for that story and we're doing a roundup of news stories making headlines we'll get radio hosts there about in casas perspective on rupert murdoch's donation to the g.o.p. and that a mere quarter of americans actually trust their news we'll be right back. extracting black gold is dangerous. but worldwide demand pushes the limits to catastrophe. is the price. is it possible to prevent such disasters. and can be enough to must be dealt with quickly time defectively. oil spills and thrills on. the

team that's been to the kaluga me when the car industry is rapidly developing. now margy goes to the area where the first russian fleet was more. where the indigenous people were the first arctic seas navigated and where russia's glorious history is still visible. welcomed. me. russia close up on our. side to join the military because i thought that it was my duty not that it was something that i could do to help my country. my government but that it is necessary for america to vietnam there was a lot of drug abuse the is a lot of murder of american officers by american soldiers there were a lot of. to go out and fight. before the war i

always thought i wanted to win a lot of medals and to have a lot of decorations but afterwards i realize that they don't mean anything or there are not that important. i don't i don't i never kept the medal. the state of west virginia sure it's the butt of people's jokes but the state has launched a campaign to change all that so now the state has a new slogan that reads west virginia wild and wonderful now this efforts to give the overlook state a good name seems legitimate but a new report has come out that just might put a dark cloud over all those efforts forbes dot com says the west virginia takes the lead as the most medicated states in the country check out these shocking statistics twelve percent of people in west virginia have diabetes thirty percent

have poor mental health and twenty percent have some sort of disability and add that on top of their ranking as one of the fattest states in the country and you've got one unhealthy combination there i can just see their tourism ad now. west virginia prize itself and all that cool nature stuff but there sure are much more to this state than just being mountains we also have a big appetite burger. you. and me at the finest health care everyone has some sort of medical condition but our doctors take drugs every. any question. all right so that's obviously not what the state wants people to know but why is the west virginia concentrating on these serious health problems and you know that slogan we told you about let's just change that slogan to west virginia wild and wonderful to west virginia and medicaid i've got to admit it just doesn't have that same ring to it but in all

seriousness these are very scary to to sticks and the rest of america should look at west virginia as a sign of what could happen if things like the obesity problem are tackled and if americans don't get serious about their. now there's a few injuring stories interesting stories excuse me that caught my attention today some for their shock factor and some of the shock i felt that the mainstream media actually treated them like breaking news for starters a new gallup poll says that no more than twenty five percent of americans have confidence in either newspapers or television news not that i entirely blame them but that's sad and maybe part of the reason for that is that they just found out that news corp the media conglomerate controlled by rupert murdoch donated a million dollars to the republican governors association and they call themselves fair balanced anyway i want to get someone else's thoughts on all of this so here to discuss it from our new york studio is sarah burton kos

a radio host and blogger for wonkette no sarah i want to begin with the fact that according to this latest gallup poll like i said no more than twenty five percent of americans have a lot of confidence in their newspapers and their television news are you surprised about that at all. i am a little bit surprised that it honestly makes me sad i remember when i was a really excited young journalism student i was so excited about how about getting to find and report news and i was so thrilled to learn about people who worked at the paper of record the new york times and in the many many years since then unfortunately it seems that consumer confidence has fallen greatly and it makes me a little sad as a news junkie but why do you think that happened what is it that has just made people not trust the most trusted name in news supposedly. well i suppose over the past fifteen years we've had a few big scandals at the boston globe the new york times these were formerly some

of the most widely respected papers in the country if not in the world i'm thinking specifically of the jason blair crisis a few years ago and i think there are t.v. entities that have made it rather clear that they are in the tank so to speak for one party or another ok ok you're you're very right there but speaking of that you know everybody today was freaking out when they found out the news corp donated a million dollars to the republican governors association personally i just didn't really find all that shocking i think that that's not surprising at all it's fox news squarely bare in the tank with the republican party but this is the part that i don't get about it you would think that it would be in fox's best interest to keep democrats in power because that's what keeps their network running so why would they donate to republicans. oh absolutely because if they are the party in

power what do they have to rail against what do they have to get so angry about how will glenn beck's face get so red what will he have to be upset about they need democrats to stay in power so that they can be the really vocal oppressed minority i mean i completely agree with you so that's what you know i just don't get why they would do that to me it sounds like a stupid donation a million dollars wasted. and they. oh no i was just going to say i mean what it seems worthless they should just be shooting money to all the democratic candidates that are out there because if god forbid the tea party candidates who who've made so much noise actually do win in november fox is going to be really boring right now it's exciting because they're angry they're so mad alone all the time they are they'll just have to make their anchors get even more naked i guess moving on to the next study here which i got

a little interesting is you know the headline is apparently men who are financially dependent on their spouses are more likely to cheat but if you read past the headline and get into the study apparently men who make more than their spouses are just as likely to cheat so they may just be honest can they just write a headline that says men cheat. exactly when i was reading it in salon i was really surprised i think that love is so uncertain and love is so exciting and love is so terrifying that we're constantly searching for ways to get a guarantee and so scientists even say ok let's throw money at this we're going to figure it out we're going to find out the special recipe for what makes a cheater and then we're going to tell people and then we can all of void those types of people but the truth is human beings cheat and it doesn't seem to be dependent on income or i guess unless you feel like you guys are completely equals and no one has more money than the other than and there's no reason to stray i don't now. there's

a couple of other funny polls and surveys that i found recently one of them says that you know this is a happiness survey and this is from gallup polls the other surveys one said the republicans are fifteen percent happier than democrats why do you think that is. oh well maybe they're watching fox news all the time it's very entertaining i suppose that could lead to high levels of endorphins being released from all the hysterical laughter that must take place and i really don't know i have no idea i would think that democrats would be happier because democrats are supposed to be the crunchy granola peace and love party right of course in reality that's not actually true i have no idea but it's fascinating i think maybe i don't know. you know the people republicans are so scared about everything that attacking their morals in the terrorists coming and maybe that's i had to just make sense to me ok this is the

one that i found very funny as members of the clergy are five hundred nine percent happier than gas station attendants. quick. that's it i'm becoming a nun alone i'm sorry i can't come on a show any more i am joining the clergy apparently all you need is god's love and you will be a happy person there thanks so much for joining us. oh no thank you have a great day. all right before we go it's time for tonight's to eat of the day we discussed how the parent company of fox news donated one million dollars to the g.o.p. governors association you know like otters wondering what would glenn beck tweet about that donation so we thought he'd say something like this the fair and balanced kool-aid taste so good. that was our tweet of the day we'll have another one for you tomorrow that's also it for tonight's show thanks for tuning in and make sure that you guys come back tomorrow night well we'll look into the broken promises of the public housing system in america riots in atlanta brought the
