looking like it's going to be pulling even more weight in this part of the world and on the other hand of course they have an israeli which is a which has proven to be a consistent skin in the neck for the united states because it seems to be killing pulling even more weight in and that him is fear so a lot of things to be discussed today you have to remember that russian mazola have a very close cooperation in the field of military exchange also the russian as well are going to discuss a further establishment of the russian been to ireland bank that idea was based of for the first time in two thousand and eight when the world was trying to get out of the economic crisis and the two countries decided to go their own way and looks like they are quite successful heading in that direction also was the first and make nuclear fields done a lot of things on the agenda for the leaders of the two countries weldon is well it seems to anger the united states largely due to the fact that it seems to possess the very kind of democracy that united states continuously talks about and

claims to possess but the same time doesn't buy when israel or while being considered a socialist country doesn't have that they're a democracy and does allow the people of the country to run this state more on that in the report compiled by my colleague she called hafiz. welcome to democracy one o one the us well us style. there is a people's revolution underway here what is indisputable is that it never would have happened without this man coming to power the figure larger than life at times as president. the idea that social reforms prioritize the country's majority poor activated participatory democracy in this country become a system which invites the poor not just to vote but to get involved in the political process itself supporters of this process or the presidents are known simply and perhaps more vaguely as. in the wealthy neighborhoods it's called communism. but in the slums it has

a very different meaning in las vegas the community leader isn't president chavez it's freddie mendoza here during more than thirty five years we've been fighting achieving improvements to our condition of living he is the guidance for the community decisions these are the policy makers of those decisions they are schoolteachers and bank tellers and the unemployed. regardless of who you are or what you do for a living everyone has an equal say in how this part of the body oh it's government is it doesn't matter if it's in the middle of the night or raining whatever time it is the communal council is present and available for all of the neighbors of the caravan and negative for cultural activities for a sickness or whatever is needed far away from the businesses the malls in the fancy hotels in the inner city or the slums of caracas the concept here come from the bill a very and revolution it was introduced to them by president. the idea of participatory democracy happens here jan hoffa's r.t. could have just been a swell of. what's ahead for you this hour we take you to

a place of greatness and power that's to draw for the crowds for our teams close up . and try to get used to some of the events but it's not evil. getting to the top in u.s. politics can be tough enough especially if you're a woman but aside from nancy pelosi and hillary clinton some of the next crop up being accused of swing voters with emotional fear campaigns and start c.p.r. is going to try to counter ports that's especially true of one republican vising star who's also raising eyebrows. it to christine o'donnell a republican nominee for senate just weeks to become a household name in america among her. campaign against masturbation you're going to be pleasing each other and if he already knows what pleases a man he can please himself then why am i in the picture she even reached the sad

reality to tell going to slag off. x. yeah yeah i'm a young woman in my thirty's and i remain chaste right and there was a time the chaste woman even said she would try the dark arts tablet in which some would argue she blurted it out ages ago and it's no longer valid so where she's standing now when running for a seat previously held by vice president joe biden i'm not aware. i'm nothing you've heard. i'm you but i'm going to hear many say christine uses the same tools as her fellow mama grizzly sarah paling the most effective of which is still king fears and spears to see their country is going to grow p.r. experts say experience has little to do with becoming the media darling in america all you have to know is how to push the right buttons the people make the decisions

not on principles but. on emotions and when you know how to manipulate emotions you can get even the worst candidates the most preposterous candidates we must seem to be especially good at fears and steering emotions in this election season meet sharon angle a woman who came from nowhere to become a republican front runner for senate among her wishes to take the united states out of the un phase out social security and shut down the tax service although few believe that these candidates will gain actual political power with what is going to see a lot more anger and also less effectiveness in the congress that is not able to do what it needs to get done some blame the media for giving so much coverage to candidates whose qualification is questionable the american media is so screwed up on matters of substance and so ready they're to do the flashy the superficial they

love the quick quote from the pretty face even if the pretty faces don't get political power or they're popular enough to raise issues and affect politics now is the time when many americans are disappointed at washington for not delivering on promises women are generally good at expressing their disappointment they're even more successful when they do it in a nice red suit with snappy quotes and a big smile on their face for now these women with their lack of qualifications seem to be a laughing matter in the political arena but there is the big question who will catch the last laugh coming of them for. trying to come into like i'm going to r.t.c. washington d.c. . no news is updated twenty four hours a day at r.t. dot com that's what well on the on the record grandma knows best there's no so you come back more on moscow's response to that movie claims that the trees are still here says i'm. taking the fight against drugs too far in the background on the

training of a controversial russian accent to cheat the kidnap and drug addicts to work on t. dot com our. first. millions of americans are unemployed on the national debt is soaring yet wall street bankers still believe they deserve to be paid a record high a hundred forty four billion dollars in bonuses this year a trend for kasich also then to says people are staying quiet because of finances fanbase among the mainstream media is distracting the crowd. you have a complete disconnect here going on between these white shoe boys with their one hundred forty four billion dollars and the rest of the country and that's why the

people are with a kind of numb about this when you break this number down we're talking about one hundred forty four billion dollars that would rank number forty nine in the g.d.p. he of the world's conch reserve one hundred and ninety four hundred trees take for instance is a guy steve schwarzman the c.e.o. of blackstone i think he's like worth about six billion dollars he complain that because of changes in tax rules he would have to pay more money quote he said it was the equivalent of the nazis invading poland the media let him get away with it they should have been stringing him up they should be ripping them apart to the equivalent of a holocaust denier but because he's

a senior member of the white shoe club boys they make it really easy so it's the mainstream media that kids sucking up to these to these greedy pigs that tempers the people down from taking to the streets rather than chastising them . wink and smile and say next in the news we're saving those people in chile well while the wall street wonder comes as a massive bonuses next curran's are in stacy herbert's related whether it really is some kind of magic that's needed to save the u.s. economy. greenspan says us creating scary deficit as borrowing rises borrowing just bit like he acts like it is the public doing it's these bankers his cronies his friends yeah. you have

a psychopath and we need witches and government to break the spell of the economics is exactly right christine o'donnell should play out that she's a witch and not try to distance herself that she's away from her witchcraft past. the u.s. is losing another key supporter in afghanistan after italy announced plans to put out of the campaign italian foreign minister says the withdrawal will start next summer and should be completed by two thousand and fourteen it comes after dutch troops left in august and kind of the decided to put out next year. or two to three thousand soldiers to afghanistan's hundred twenty thousand strong contingent but just days ago four italian soldiers were killed in the form attack in afghanistan u.s. bombers increasing its presence there and then two officials reportedly claimed there were not enough troops on the ground. which local strategy project says it's in the

is withdrawn because it doesn't want to be soldiers. it's important to understand the domestic politics in each of the member states and in the case of italy for example in the last year a group of italian soldiers were killed in suicide bombing there was an uproar from the political establishment italy obviously they're saying they'll begin a process in twenty eleven that will conclude in two thousand and fourteen but between now and then anything can happen and in that sense i think it's more of the placate the domestic situation the domestic response in the country to the last killing of the soldiers last week without some other international stories starting in northern chile where the miners or deal is finally over the shift supervisor was there long. to be freed in the twenty four hour operation to bring the models to the surface after more than two months on the ground running and recreate. fifty three emerged safely much better physical condition than expected but they're still being given the current checks and. it is now finally empty last rescue worker

after which now we're going to be closed good. iran's president is in lebanon touting his country's efforts to help rebuild the small coastal nation and it is a long and six war with israel but it's fair that mahmoud ahmadinejad's visit when played really tense relations in the country between the u.s. backed political groups and brainstorm is below the president plans to visit villages near the country's border with israel a move seen as being provocative. pakistani official say u.s. drone attack has killed up to devon militants near the border with afghanistan the strikes targeted a house and cause in the north waziristan problems four of the dead were reported to be foreigners from the central asian states mr stuff is the latest in a series of u.s. operations in pakistan targeting the taliban and al qaeda insurgents.

one that take time out to show you more of what the world's largest country has to offer as we look at russia close up. this time we travel to believe the which is more than five hundred kilometers northwest of moscow is one of the country's most ancient cities with a millennium of history of corrupt is also known as a place where russia's first democracy emerged and it's seen its fair share of boom times and bloodshed as artie's ego expects. the city of love good as a place of major historical interest in medieval times it was a european wide trading center and also a freedom loving republic unlike almost anywhere else in russia so it's all surprising to the city authorities are trying to capitalize on its history right now they've got to toss which they face having to attract more people and also the

people they do attract making them stay longer and spend more money now talking about the reasons for it people might want to come to know god there's no view of its history. each year they gather in the small city of not their own to celebrate the past at a time when novgorod was the capital of a trading empire that spans from finland today just like the area solution is stuck at the risk of i think you know god knows we are the army of the ruler of novgorod from the height of its prosperity you with so many people are forgotten but we are keeping the memory alive it was the russia's all the slavic city not god was founded more than a thousand years ago centuries before st petersburg it became russia's gateway to the west numbered filled the whole of europe with furs and candles becoming one of the most prosperous cities on the continent once upon a time this was not just the hope of a powerful trading republic but possibly the birthplace of russia's democracy.

at the sound of a bell the city population assembled on the maid square there they voted on the most important issues facing the republic a new ruler was elected after an old one died each draft of a city had its own self government and military commanders were invited from neighboring states and over to the version of the farm that no grown up was a glimpse of what an ancient russian might have been like that instead of authoritarianism it could have been freedom and democracy. but it was not to be moscow princes keen to get their hands on its riches subjugated the city and even come to the way the somebody. then fifteen seventy number became the setting one of the bloodiest chapters in russia's history we were. when ivan the terrible came for a visit a feast was laid out for him then just as the guests were getting drunk he suddenly got up and banged the staff on the floor that was a signal for his henchmen around up the citizens of no going to begin torturing

them for two weeks a thousand people were killed every day the legend says a river is reddish in color because of all the blood spilled into this with moscow you did not bring political power st petersburg its economic significance and later the soviets desecrated its religious symbols for building a bridge as. is the biggest tragedy before world war two the soviet authorities melted down most of the enormous bells whose unique feel charmed across the city from saints a fierce cathedral oldest church. passionately that it might one day return. we have all the blueprints if only we had the money we could rebuild them exactly as they were my only dream in life is to his and so he is bells ring out over the city again. the whole city has to be happy with what he's got. hopes of

a rebirth glory. god for the whole of russia you've been here please tell me what your impressions are of the city doesn't have anything to offer. tourists behind this is the kremlin which is a very old structure it dates back way back to the beginning of russia and inside you can see how wonderful church. the monuments there was built to the malone millennium. this grates sort. sort of metal structure in the sun so beyond on the other side of the river is jaroslav courts like a collection of old churches and buildings which is very picturesque. and the whole of the city as you can see is pretty green and park like and dotted with lots of cute little churches so i think tourists would really love it here the added

special thing about not grove is that they're very tourist friendly which is quite unusual for a russian city russian town they have a fantastic tourist office where they're very happy to help tourists price for tells there is is not that expensive and if you are on a budget the tourist office will help you find a room and someone's home. and that's a great experience for foreigners to have so i think this can be an affordable place for people to visit and it's midway between moscow and some pizza spigot offers a completely different atmosphere i think it's a good place to visit ok thank you very much we've been speaking to simon richmond who's the coordinating all sort of lonely planet guides here for the whole of russia he went around ten minutes time i get ready for takeoff but hold on tight as russia's female stunt flying champion tells our team what it takes to be a premier credit. information i wouldn't pilot is
