a day after president dmitry medvedev visits russia's greil islands it's tokyo claims as it so. as the u.s. gears up for the midterm election some are more concerned about the corporate backing of candidates and what that means for democracy. and the international space station marks ten years of being a manned mission as experts strive for the scientific leaves needed to justify its in its costs. now of course midterm elections how they got in the u.s. are two sits down now with a four time presidential candidate who doesn't belong to any of the two parties ruling congress ralph nader talks about the real powers that govern america and ways to achieve real change that's next here on r.t. . elections are usually an exciting time for the american people however with the two party system dominating the political establishment here in washington some ask

whether there are higher powers that stake and how much influence they wield over the city now someone is no stranger to this topic is ralph nader he was a presidential hopeful under the independent and green party ticket he sits down now with our. mr nader thank you so much for joining us now my first question to you is about u.s. foreign policy under both political parties i wonder if there are differences between how they look at the start treaty for example or the iraq and afghanistan wars or policies towards iran are there really differences between these two parties when it comes to u.s. foreign policy less and less on the start treaty that there are some republicans that are against it republicans for and mostly all the democrats are for it says a little difference there but on iraq on afghanistan on israel palestine. on the. sofa given the u.s.

government to go in there in the face anybody in the country regardless of national sovereignty the similarity between obama and bush the start of the political and when bush launched the wars he. was not able to legitimately than. obama by extending. the war in afghanistan and expanding drones going into pakistan going into somalia into yemen it's a no go after anybody that he in the executive branch i think are a threat. he has legitimized what bush has put forward in an illegitimate way every election cycle politicians tend to bicker over who should be elected for president or who should be elected for congress but do their policies really differ how much dominance does the two party system have over the establishment here in washington and how the country is being run well if there is

a permanent corporate government in washington for president eisenhower in his farewell address in one nine hundred sixty one pointed out the much quoted passage of the unwarranted influence saw or unsought by the military industrial complex of course now it's much much worse and they have cowed a lot of the media i mean look how the media went along with the falsified drumbeat an invasion of iraq in two thousand and three i mean it was disgraceful so the two parties are not where the game is really being played they are the tributes you're there the voice there the sheen there is the they they say they sign on the dotted line it's the military industrial complex it's largely dissin say should both a defense industry machine that never says enough is enough in terms of nuclear subs and drones and fighter bombers and armored vehicles it's

out of control eisenhower warned us about it we didn't heed his warning he know what he's talking about he was a five star general is there a fabricated perception when it comes to the tea party's influence is there much reality behind this perception that socialism is dominating the country well it's corporate propaganda the tea party is very viewpoints one viewpoint but are they going to share one thing their own about what's going on in the country and therefore being channeled toward washington without being a member in effect in foreign pay which wall street over washington wall street is taking control of washington isn't a massive. trillion dollar bailout bailout of these wall street crooks by your tax dollars sufficient evidence so i think the big mistake that democrats and liberals are making is they're not talking to the teper years that they're backing off in and adjusting and censoring themselves and inflating the power of the tea partiers and so is the media i mean there are only three four hundred thousand people who

call themselves tea partiers who spent more than twenty hours in the last six months under initiatives and going to rallies and so forth but you have glenn beck you have thoughts network you have even the washington post in a new york times pushing pushing and so exaggerates them and that intimidates the democrats to be less progressive and less liberal and so who has the momentum in politics you simply ask one question who's on the on fence even who's on the defensive once the democrats turn became on the defensive they're falling backward and they're not going to recover the dangers of corporate capitalism is something that you've been following all your life i wonder about the corporate influence in this election cycle and in washington in general are the corporations creating movements like the tea party to maintain their control or their interests yeah that's their popular front so to speak just like the communist party has its

popular front the corporations knowing they can't be out front because people don't like a lot of these big corporations they ripped off by the banks and credit card companies the insurance companies they have the bicameral accounting pfizer's they give the tea party. deceptive information and focus on certain politicians and therefore if they continue their work there will behind the scenes i mean we have corporate socialism this country where the profits are kept and the losses are socialized on the back of the taxpayer there is a single department or agency you ask. who's outside influence over one place not corporate they control from their outside and putting their executives and i government positions funding members of congress and their cash thirty five thousand full time lobbyists in washington they are the government theater drys are put it very well

a minimum years ago he said the corporations are the god i wonder what role does third party candidates have an election cycles and influence of the politics in this country when you have this two party system that has been in place for so long yeah i miss a two party dictatorship and they control the state laws of ballot access so they obstruct small parties and independent candidates requiring them to spend inordinate amounts of time resist litigation as frivolous to get on the ballot there's no country in the western world that if strikes voters and counted them exercising their democratic rights in most countries in western europe you have multi-party systems if the green party gets over five percent in germany as over five percent of the parliament here a party can get forty nine percent the opponent can get fifty one percent the party gets forty nine percent is nothing so there's no proportional representation that with the electoral college nonsense feeds a two party dictatorship and so the role of third parties to break open that two

party dictatorship where is the party that pushes for a living wage so they can support their family on the democrats republicans they're not really pushing for that the democrats have a better rhetoric but barack obama promised a nine dollars fifty cents federal minimum wage in the campaign in two thousand and eight he's never talked about it since it's now seven dollars and twenty five cents won't part wages one third of the workers in this country make low wal-mart type wages is not a major area for a third party so people have got to stop voting for the least worst between the democrats and probably good. and say they're going to vote for what they believe that they're going to vote for their conscience they're going to vote for the best interests the american people if it's a third fourth party so be it you mentioned you sent a letter to a number of different corporate executives saying they should have a taxpayer appreciation day for all the money they stole from the american taxpayers can you elaborate on that a little bit well i mean the political parties are servicing the top one percent

which has of wealthy people which has equivalent wealth of the bottom ninety five percent of the american people and that is a inequality that radiates all the way down to white to poor die more injured more ripped off more the middle class is being pushed down toward the poor wealth inequality is not just a bunch of people at the top who have all a lot of the cold it radiates inequality and harm and devastation all the way down the income scale and the republican democrat party have presided over at this tax system that perpetuates it what role does the mainstream media have and pandering to corporate interests well the the media puts out some very good reports once in a while sixty minutes and so forth but by and large they represent the investments of their shareholders and that means advertising revenue so they're not going to really go against many of their advertisers with

a few luminous exceptions from time to time that's the message me there's independent media that seems to be growing modestly i listen regularly to democracy now and amy goodman for example that pacifica radio needs to be expanded because these these media don't represent advertises they represent news that's why when you turn on them you say gee why haven't i heard that on n.b.c. or c.b.s. why in this little station it's because they're not representing their advertisers they're representing news and i think that that's the that. it's essential difference none of media from what you're saying it seems like a bit of a hopeless situation here in the united states is there any possibility of a revolution here in this country where the people actually revolt against these against this corporate domination well inevitably cycle turns in american history and people say enough is enough i thought the bailout of the crooks in wall street

would fulfill that enough is enough but i've seen people who are more demoralized and less able to organize but one of these days will be a few billionaires who put a lot of money into thousands of community organizers network throughout the country focusing on congress to move this country forward and put the people back into the sovereignty arena the constitution starts with the people not we the corporations ralph nader it's always a pleasure to have you thank you so much for joining us. the admiral no human a passenger liner sailing in the black sea. august thirty first nineteen eighty six. twenty three twenty. four kilometers off shore. crashes into another vessel. four

a crucial game could rubin in the champions league tonight they take on pena tonight course in cars than a need to win to have a realistic chance of qualifying for the knockout stages sides have yet to win a game in group d. and it ended goalless when they paid each other team weeks ago so three points in needed to have any hope of catching leaders barcelona and f.c. copenhagen who are second group. scored twice in their two no win at a clearly last week in the russian premier league his first since joining on the phone from their need and he believes home advantage will give his side the edge tonight. but a quick look at the shows why both sides are desperate for a victory rubin four points behind copenhagen and five behind barcelona with just the top she's going through with just three games left time is running out for the reigning russian champions about barcelona can book their place in the next round if they beat copenhagen must see evening in the spaniards are flying at the moment having just beaten severe five nil in the league at the weekend they are also they

also defeated the danes to no at the nou camp but coach pep guardiola is full of praise for the danes picked winds picked up wins in the other two games. in the. but. you do keep cool you could be changed. so what about copenhagen they hope to have brazilian striker cesar sandton back for this one while their manager says they won't be trying to man mark passes legal mess think this by the argentine scoring twice against them last time they met. it's a clever clever culturists me who has tried to stop it much but the players mind who tried to stop it not succeeded so but. we don't we don't want to marking or something that's. that will destroy.

this ational the team so that's no use now one of the tides of the night is defending champions into man take on tottenham in london a win for the italians would guarantee them a spot in the next round of group a leaders beat spurs four three in a very matic encounter at the san siro gareth bale scored a hat trick for the premiership outfit ben but into say he's not the only one they have to be wary of. but you know when we talk about talk to her we're not talking about bill we're talking about a very good team which stays very good on the pitch which is very strong physically and players with quality and i think that's what we need to be careful about not only one player but to two to be careful. to the string they have i think meanwhile spurs get a touch with the big game after he picked up a hamstring injury and we can get good news then boss harry redknapp but he says

and stop doing post match interviews if he's punished by being the chef they are criticizing a referee who slam match officials after his side's recent loss to manchester united. i would if they were if they want to make an issue of why stayed in our make some issues as well don't. you know don't expect me to come out of t.v. after a game anymore ever and speak to the press after you don't want to it. if you want me just to come in rubbish and say not to good decision i'm quite happy with what would come after going now there's one result from the english premier league from monday evening blackpool beating nine man west brom to one to go up to ninth in the table the baggies have probably been as interns are jar red carded in the first half and have been vanny put the seaside is a term from people who got a late consolation for west brom. moving to the ice and struggling truck door have

pulled off a big upset in the kontinental hockey league after winning three two in overtime at league leaders met in the magnitogorsk visit is made a fantastic starts the guy going take me see if you can get extremely proud surrogate's professional shot but the puck sam jumped up and fell back into the next track toward double belly at the beginning of the second period when alexander truly made the most of a power play three minutes later you have matty elton and paul one back. and then midway through the third period how much flow in next door to the great goal driving around the goal to keep people guessing slugging eating. sixty minutes putting final when they start to go into overtime where they can be side thirty a powerplay dunk when seeing the final result which case powerful show. now the news the san francisco giants have won baseball's world series the first time and i

bet fifty five is they beat the texas rangers last night to win the best of seven contests for one it was a tense game in arlington and it was scoreless and so rent a riot the series m.v.p. pace had a stunning three run in the seventh inning that put the giants crease in the cellar runs in the ninth to texas but three one is how it ended even the giants are four one series victory the last time they were crowned champions was back in one thousand nine hundred fifty four. and so. or somebody that's a life and you know i. would be hail yes. but i keep myself in shape myself working hire. a chauffeur. be patient. thing got a good thing work oh i tend their organization they had operation with me because i want to be trying. to. let's get some action from the n.f.l.

now where indianapolis beat houston at home thirty points to seventeen in the only game on monday peyton manning three two touchdowns including this passage a good time or two yard touchdown to put his side in front of the seven zero eventually lead the culture victory which allowed indianapolis to square the head to head series with eastern and gave the defending i actually count yourself possession of the sack visually for the first time this season. game on the n.b.a. there are three games to talk about first of all the one which took place in sacramento where the kings defeated toronto on home court one hundred eleven to one hundred eight the kings completely made a mess of the eight in quarter losing sixteen points to thirty straight but gradually they pull themselves together in the remaining to grab victory terry given stop scoring for sacramento with twenty three points. elsewhere wins for san antonio and she's cargo.

shorts and eric kane has won the melbourne cup in a stray one hundred thousand spectators so the twelve to one romp home at the flemington course with around two hundred metres to go the french train five are all broke away from the rest jockey general motors guiding her home to take the three million dollar prize and a lucky day with the second of the hottest private few years so you think. no one passion in america who won by three lengths in funny paint boarding has become far more than a pastime a russian team has become world champions in the sport for record third time taking on the americans and their own backyard constantine put up of as this report. removes dream of playing soldiers and shooting enemies for fun without serious consequences of course has come true in the form of pinball and produce of you who don't know this in walls teams competing with each other to shoot pool and they use a gun like device called a morgue. which has pallets containing paint there are different kinds of pinball

but as a sport pinball was first played at the beginning of the 1980's in the us a thing for me is a mixture of everything holby sport and more games more pain balls means more fun it's an extremely interesting time how i started with it as a sport and that kind of pinball is more professional than just for fun it's not surprising the americans became the transmitters big industry and the best league almost like the n.b.a. for pinball players and all the sports fans gear up once a year for what has become the greatest and most interesting bt pain will invent p.s.p. world cup in orlando teams from all over the world come to outshine the arrivals and prove that they belong at the top most of the teams are from north america as the level of their performance he's much hurt except for one team russian legion this is a professional pinball team from moscow that set themselves the becoming more old number one thousand nine hundred ninety six and were crowned world champions for

the third time this year the russians continued to make history by threshing all their opponents and as a result in the final it was a massacre with the russian legion side winning it seven behind all that is course a lot of blood is because we spend a lot more than any other team and yes we spent time over here by practice and we spend thousands of hours by plane we spend hundreds of hours by making special fitness exercises and it's just our level but it's not just about physical ability or shooting skills for coaches prepare the team for each tournament where it's a battle of wits as well you must know tactics if you're playing just by yourself you will do nothing so the team and the squad is out of five people and each person that squad must know what he's doing to help his guys and so lead him as a real part of the squad that can do. his job as much as possible however is real

professionals the team doesn't to be a tourist in their laurels they're dedicated to pinball and want to attract younger soused to the sport and make it for people in russia and the world success is the best advertisement of the month for the truth is that the best league with the best players is in the u.s. where pinball is very popular where delighted to be them on their home ground but of course we'd like to have a strong league here in russia and i hope the sport will grow to be popular and lots of youngsters will get involved and if the russian legion team continue their winning ways it could well achieve their aims of making pain will even more popular here in their native land constrained by top of. the sun and that brings the end of the sport for the moment a bit lighter.
