you more analysis and news on that later in the program but now let's go to some other news to the us where president obama's democratic party has narrowly managed to retain a majority in the senate in the midterm elections but the house of representatives is now in the hands of the republicans what with congress now divided between the two parties it will be much harder for obama to move forward with his legislative agenda but many voters have other concerns they're worried about the corporate bankrolling of candidates after vast amounts of campaign cash was poured into these elections a spokesman for the u.s. green party says the runaway spending is detrimental to the country's political system where america does great for the party approach. well the important thing to point out is that that money comes from corporations and corporate money has poisoned our democracy but the real problem is an election system that is rigged against us in several ways there are state laws regarding

ballot access that democrats and republicans have passed together to privilege themselves to privilege their own candidates while hindering the ability of all the parties and independents to participate in the democratic process we need to get those laws overturned and we need to make the us a multi-party democracy the only real democracy is a multi-party democracy. where with political difficulties in sight for getting legislation through former congressman thomas andrews says it will make it even harder now for washington to solve its pressing economic problems. there are a lot of things that need to be done in this country that are not being done unfortunately the script in this election is number one we haven't seen the change in the economic prospects of this country change enough with a nine point six percent unemployment rate nationally and in some of these very

competitive districts double digit unemployment rates and of course the deficit has continued to increase as the economy has continued to slide so what you have is people who are taking advantage of bad that very dire situation and saying it's the politicians in washington who are spending like drunken sailors and causing this economic collapse and we need to change fundamentally the decision makers in washington d.c. the problem that we're going to face is that these candidates who are now being elected who have been running on the basis of this very very high octane rhetoric and all these negative ads are not going to be in a position or feel that they're going to be comfortable compromising and engaging in the kind of give and take that you need in order to make a government work people are anxious they're nervous they want to see immediate change what they don't want to see is gridlock and i'm afraid that one of the consequences of this election will be gridlock in washington and i think that will translate into a pox on everyone both parties houses if washington can't step up and get some

things get some things done once these election smoke is cleared here in the nation's capitol. live from moscow you're with our two you know our web site of course is also keeping you up to date twenty four hours a day here's some of what you'll find online right now at our dot com pope running low for women in afghanistan a shocking number fall victim to domestic abuse and violence with the suicide rate on the rise despite international efforts. and the moscow landmark metro unveils a new attraction as it turns one of its stations into a public museum for more head over to r.t. dot com. a famous russian drug in force or who authorities want to jail for up to twelve years has been sentenced to two and a half years probation you could recall of tackled the drug problem in the urals by forcing addicts into rehab but his methods were slammed as inhumane despite winning huge public support argy sara first has more. discussed today then looking for you

but of course he has been found guilty that kidnap and legal at attention that these women must it's the bitch and the action fix that is the tough. part of that take me to help pick up full sting people to quit and fight that addiction he was found guilty with to police and we see this case really showing nationwide attention even president but they did commenting about it as saying that the case needed closer attention and many supporters have been saying that i fall for him being punished which coach i actually have enough commended for his action with fish of operating efficiently to help him and that is the main foundation city without a new question but that the people who actually live that have seen the positive effects the biz actions have had we actually fitted your custom bike to stay for a month the guy had the people who is addicted to the cheap ten years ago that

would know you guys and so the truck addiction was so bad you know people were afraid to get their freight so that their children live in nice area and now there's been a few. very very positive impacts and even more interestingly actually some of the drug addicts at least like to come to see the treatment that themselves the thirty's methods are incredibly harsh but that actually they work how we can end up in the fountain you get a voice but he has the same approach that despite the criticisms the most important thing here is that you test the fact that these methods are having a positive impact for eagle carried out about two hundred operations against drug as a result the mortality rate is hosed the gypsies were afraid to sell drugs and consequently don't bribe you for it is clearly this or it is that i didn't like that. interests me as well to compare the method because in this case again to you cast him back with the foundation's been up for

a take much longer for even ten years at the. if not go to a situation where they're actually working with all parties i'm not working very well but that's a that's lovin legal i with in the old city the city that sunday chavez cup in south has said that they would simply say that they get the feeling. that wasn't big or just up in the first place such a dictionary much as he spoke of this is a mistake but rather that he was a people a good guy that could take this is the test they say that that was the fall of many a drug addict in russia that's only a drug addict it is an issue that needs to be tackled. brazil's news president dual who saf has vowed to intensify the government's efforts in fighting rampant poverty but despite advances made by her predecessors hunger and unemployment are still the reality for millions of brazilians but now the downtrodden are sidestepping government and leading their own fight for change from the ground up long list to reports from sao paolo. a simple life this is lettuce tending your own

garden or be growing your own food it's a simple life worth fighting for even if you've built it illegally say six times they've tried to kick us off and together with the church and with some politicians we've been able to standing your ground because another life when you've worked to escape is always in sight not far from where you toil these are the favelas they are the slums in brazil it's the way the majority of the poor live in this country and where here are just a stone's throw away on a settlement this is where a group of people now live off the land in a commune as an answer to the poverty and joblessness in the slums brazil is the largest country in south america and almost half of the farm land is controlled by just one percent of the landowners and there's a lot of activism to a huge social movement in fact behind changing that but i do study because it limits the struggles so brazil can do radical agrarian reform so that we can settle

bill land and get rid of property pushing to get all poor brazilians like the forty families living here back to the earth oh after they were pushed off by the world. when the green revolution led by powerful foundations and governments like the us turn farming in the developing world into an expensive and high tech agricultural industry. with this revolution huge businesses occupy the land and this has been happening since the one nine hundred fifty s. and they've been kicking small farmers off the land the kick them off and they send them to the city saying that the cities need a workers. but the cities didn't need all those workers so while the land became a means to produce and export food for the world to consume benefiting the few people who controlled it it was lots for the large landowners the bank owners and the multinational corporations small land workers like these lost their jobs to technology or lost their land going into debt trying to compete with that and were

left to starve or today it is very much an oppressor capitalism is becoming a monster because wherever the market or product is the principal focus everything or everyone else and excluded but everyone's included here in their own collective socialist solution a model of their dream for brazil. that we want wealth distribution for the poor and the workers we want land distribution the green revolution of their own. like a simple life worth fighting for lauren lyster r.t. so paulo brazil. and other news iraq has been rocked in the wake of its bloody as weak for months at least seventy six people have been killed and over two hundred wounded in a series of attacks centered around baghdad shia neighborhoods in several blast came just days after al qaeda militants took a christian congregation hostage resulting firefight there fifty eight dead with a total u.s.

pullout scheduled for the end of next year despite escalating violence in iraq you say they feel abandoned and it's forcing some to join the enemy one sunni militia group praised by the u.s. for its help in providing security is now falling back into the hands of local warlords and hopelessly reports. there is still a force to be reckoned with tens of thousands of sunni muslims angry at the shiite iraqi government known as the sons of iraq four years ago they were won over by american dollars to fight al qaida one of the strains they live in the neighborhoods in which they keep watch their. we did a great service to iraq members were working with the terrorists before they joined us and they give us information about the armed groups but despite attempts by the iraqi government to disarm them in communities like this they continue to patrol the streets because they insist iraqi soldiers just can't keep the peace.

and security forces sometimes just turn a blind eye to what's going on there's lots of human rights violations and there aren't enough human rights organizations to defend and protect people. but all these paramilitary groups upholding the rule of law all some of their activities questionable as suggested in the four hundred thousand iraq documents released by wiki leaks in one account has sons of iraq leader is said to be responsible for the murder of innocent civilians conducting insurgent activities under the guise of a sons of iraq leader extortion and rape. everything has a positive and a negative some leaders use their position for settling tribal scores stockpiling weapons making money and killing innocent civilians but the majority brought stability. but that majority also feels abandoned by an america which armed trained and paid them and despite big promises less than half of the ninety thousand strong force has been given work or absorbed into iraqi security forces but this man is

one of the few who has but he's afraid to reveal his identity. to talk after the americans were finished with his groups after iraq or security they no longer supported us especially when the iraqi government charged our leaders with crimes a lot of the leaders have lost trust in the american and iraqi government and are afraid that working for them for being white face charges and or assassination the . iraqi security officials say hundreds of sons of iraq members have returned to al qaeda and that many of the thousands now in the iraqi government. secretly aid the insurgency for observers like hamid deal iraqi security forces are running a losing race to keep up to speed to either integrate the groups or to be able to secure iraq without them and i think of how that the training given by the us was not complete and it never will be because america wants iraqis to keep giving them

they don't want to rock to build a strong army and that way they can justify staying in the country and making sure iraq is never strong enough to control the region and. in army bases like those iraqi federal police are trained in intelligence a tactical side exploitation of medical anything like that. patrols connor is that for many iraqis what the americans left behind was destruction and devastation it will take a lot for them to rebuild the ruins of their lives. armed and dangerous these paramilitary groups struggle to find a place for themselves meeting some observers to warn that while they might have been used for short term military gains in the end they could be the roadblocks to peace policy r.t. baghdad. trying to our top story now the visit of moscow's moscow to moscow i should say of nato is changed russia has reaffirmed its readiness to create a joint anti-missile defense system in europe with nato but only on equal basis

let's get more now from your countrymen groucho but she is following the visit it gets you know what exactly has come out of the meeting. well this press conference has just wrapped up and the main outcome of the meeting was that both love rolf and nato's chief rasmussen have been saying that they need to overcome consequences old the cold war that they have to boost partnership and get we don't the image of cold war anime's love that one of the main principles on which russia stands and builds up with security. and military doctrine is indivisibility of global security it's now obvious that both moscow and nato face pretty much the same challenge as terrorism drug trafficking natural catastrophes of regional conflicts the war in afghanistan as well russia is helping him get a stand with its intelligence data to carry out some hope gratian says that while

serial of are upset that these the time when russia and nato stood on different sides of the barricades is now a thing of the cost and that now they are moved into a conference. we flew to respect the rules and regulations that exist within nato we don't have the right of the veto or anything like that was when this is all clear of course but we are more interested in the result not that in the proofs or so such in the result we need to she's to strengthen security. thinks that there are russian nato council works on like counterterrorism fighting terrorists even the so fighting the drug trade and many other things old these things are real they really strengthen security in all of our countries if you listen and we'll see you this week you few

will without a good issue to do so those in the any restrictions school. future the fact that russia is not a nato member really should show i think we would be more appropriate to do the winter in which the moves are not to pay attention to procedure should we charge rather than later sized in a school trip to a lot of media attention some of the sensation no someone had helps you shows your news we should focus on the clear sense of this is our approach in our relations with nature. nato is now working on a new strategy for global security for the twenty first century and russia wants this new strategy to reflect russia's own security concerns in particular concerns over european missile defense nato has recently invited russia to take part in that system in this new european security architecture and mosco wants to know in which

which role it will be playing in this new european system as a as a participant as an observer and also russian foreign minister today the press conference specified our cooperation is not aimed against a certain state as far as missile defense systems are concerned it is global security strategy. now we know that the summit russia nato major summit is going to take place at the end of this month and nato is chief today said that these talks are up hard to all but crucial progressions for the summit they are about to finalize their joint review of the main threats and challenges of the twenty first century and there are no methane out spheres so for common interests and cooperation. there was also a question asked to both love rolf and ross musson on whether nato plans to further expand east was and whether it is possible that nato one day invites russia to join

the north atlantic alliance is said. i hope. these cooperation will represent a fresh start modernization in all the russian nato relationships that we don't see each other as. ration will take place as equal partners and use that instead of raw treats on whether russia will join nato or not they should focus on the areas where they share the same security concerns. so pretty much the same on russia's accession to nato saying that it's more. rhetorics rather than the rules of the future. around you catherine the great job of reporting live on anders fogh rasmussen visit to moscow thank you very much for three and. a brief look now at some other international news for you this hour the government in greece has suspended international mail deliveries for forty eight hours after
