4:09 am
for clients who were arrested in the middle of october october eighteenth to be precise and that they were accused of espionage for russia and they were given a preliminary to put two month prison sentence now and there are many peculiar points about the story of course one of those being the fact that the ministry of internal affairs of georgia has kept him on about this case for what it seems like at least two weeks another aspect is that the news was broken by foreign media sources which a lot of critics say is out of her to offer when someone aspiring of such dimensions as this is purported to be has been broken usually of that in the with the minister of internal affairs to whoever does their arrest is a priding themselves on the on this on the circumstances and actually makes they announced it not so in this case also we have to remember this is not the first time a spy story between russia and georgia comes to the foreground back in two thousand and six four russian offices were arrested in georgia on suspicion for spin of course they were later released but that's took relations between most goods

now one state's halfords to promote his democratic interests have led to some shocking results across the world so-called independent media sources have been sponsored by the u.s. government for nearly thirty years to convince the public of the need for america's wars are the scale and ford reports in the recently declassified evidence. when most americans open a newspaper they expect all the news that's fit to print not to plan but declassified documents show that in the one nine hundred eighty s. the state department was doing exactly that known as white propaganda editorials and stories were planted and pushed in major u.s. media outlets the washington post c.b.s. usa today the new york times and more. ensuring favorable coverage of the
4:12 am
controversial contra war in central america the office of public diplomacy had a very innocuous sounding name but in fact it was a sinister covert office running eagle propaganda operations hello my name is art all right meet the man at the forefront of this effort cuban american cold warriors and former head of the office of public diplomacy for latin america has the reputation of a tough operator that's a lot you are telling a lie employing special psychological operations experts to craft messages for the american public putting people secretly on the u.s. payroll reporters writers and having them then pretend to be independent and writing op ed pieces and nobody would know that this was a u.s. government financed and directed opinion but from these declassified documents we know that auto reich was behind these similar tactics were used by the bush administration and the lead up to the iraq war the iraq war is
4:13 am
a textbook case of how a government or a couple within a government uses propaganda planting stories in the u.s. media to convert public opinion favorably toward a war within a matter of days on september eighth the new york times michael gordon judith miller published a front page long story you know which they talked about how u.s. intelligence officials had. found out that saddam hussein had purchased llewyn tubes which they believed could only be used for nuclear weapons what they did not say of course was that that was a minority view within the intelligence community the drums of war beat faster the u.s. invaded in march two thousand and three in two thousand and nine and mediately after the president of honduras was overthrown in a military coup i don't reich resurfaced in the mainstream media quoted by columnists interviewed by pundits. well what i want to know about stuff like
4:14 am
this there's nobody else better to call than the guy you're about to meet right here you could better explain what is happening and just about everybody else otto reich is who i'm talking about every since he was in charge of what he was doing back in the eighty's and he's been around like a like a ghost and you see him personally writing op eds for important newspapers in the u.s. and you see him working behind the scenes for mongers in honduras and what you what you have to wonder is who's paying him to do so why propaganda has proven effective in garnering support for america's more contentious foreign policy the office of public diplomacy it became the sacrificial lamb of the iran contra scandal follow your congressional investigation otto reich moved on unscathed first to become ambassador to venezuela then assistant secretary of state he remains an influential consultant here in washington frequently quoted in the media and regularly called
4:15 am
to testify here on capitol hill as an expert witness for our t. washington d.c. . norman solomon american media critic and founder of the institute for public accuracy says political lobbying by a powerful government in democratic societies much more dangerous than in totalitarian states. in a dictatorship often it doesn't matter what people think and so propaganda is often less rigorous in a society with important elements of democracy it's all the more important to try to affect public opinion this is a characteristic of governments around the world there's a lot of spinning out of the governments and those who are aligned with it through the news media the propaganda game it's all the more important when it's a powerful country perhaps most important for the world when it happens in the united states and we have that going on where there are economic political social and military agendas being pushed and the end result is we have this worldview of being reinforced all the time which often has very little to do with human rights
4:16 am
when you have this contradiction of how human rights as a standard is applied in practice when you have a multiple set of definitions of human rights and orwellian terms then you've got what you got from our right in the one nine hundred eighty s. in the reagan administration and all too often what you still get today. and for the first time ever the u.s. is coming under review by the u.n. human rights council the body will examine allegations of abuse committed by americans and as. far from the american civil liberties union suggests the scrutiny could raise problems for the u.s. as its human rights record is far from impeccable. there have been some advance questions submitted by by countries in advance of the review including by the russian federation and the issue of torture for example is a question that was raised by the russian federation we think very appropriately as it stands now in the united states sadly in the in the so-called war on terror victims of torture and rendition have been denied their day in court the federal
4:17 am
government has been able to use judicially created dr and including what's called state secrets privilege to prevent civil lawsuits alleging torture. and degrading treatment and this is something that has prevented victims of torture from even having a day in court even having the opportunity to have their grievance heard so our hope is that these issues will be. will be discussed in the us will have to explain these issues and we will be able to pass legislation domestically which would limit the ability of the united states to use the state secrets privilege in qualified immunity to allow victims of torture to have their day in court and also to for the government to affirmatively prosecute perpetrators of torture as you your viewers may be aware in the last few days we've heard that former president bush had given an approval of waterboarding and as as this wrecking internationally recognized waterboarding as a form of torture and so we're hoping that the obama administration and those in government will prosecute or those who engage in torture and those who ordered

4:20 am
into new volatility new and growing industries and that includes technological innovation scientific research and development as well as start up companies well tom is continuing to carve a name for itself in technological and scientific innovation now in this report we'll look at some of the people behind this effort as well as the business ventures that have come out of this region. it's one of the oldest towns in siberia but it was only officially open to foreigners in one thousand nine hundred ninety today wooden houses hundreds of years old still line the streets and there contrasts it by the youthful enthusiasm of students who flock to toms the home of siberia's first university. is a graduate of the thomas cloyd technique university he's only twenty four but he's already working on a ph d. and is running his own welding company with twenty six branches all over the country. i started doing this three and a half years ago while still in underground where we first models in
4:21 am
a small garage then we want to few contests and received grants which allowed me to launch a company. but in the world of business a great idea needs money to get off the ground. and that's where venture capitalists like nikolai but dual income in. my business is. different ways i could invest and i found something was best. it's creating new products new technologies. one of the many businesses. but julian invested in is this water purifying technology it's still in the testing stage but he believes in its potential. at first the main goal was to filter out viruses but now we're more concerned with heavy metals arsenic in particular well after the process of filtering the water this is apparently drinkable so let's try.
4:22 am
nope no arsenic there but dylan has another project up his sleeve a new technology that may be able to advance the battle against cancer. in two thousand days we started testing the drug silver all on twenty eight counties eighteen later tested healthy scientists still need to study this drug but i personally have not seen anything better for treating leukemia business must say one of the main advantages of having a baby so when tom says the abundance of great minds universities live the main street here in the city center and one in every six people is pursuing some form of education. we were told that in this town it's cool to be an intellectual well one intellectual locals aren't cool with this russian playwright and don't check out who once wrote a sister saying tomsk is a very dull town to judge from the drunkards whose acquaintances i've made and from
4:23 am
intellectual people come to tell their respects to me the inhabitants of. chekhov's unfavorable comments earned him this marking statue and amusing reminder that the people of tom's don't take kindly to such remarks even from an intellectual. class are cilia r.t. reporting from the tomsk region. and after the u.s. midterm congressional elections the republicans are more eager than average to put a spanner in the works of president obama's agenda kratz however challenge them to come up with better solutions and a discussion ground this discussion around this got pretty heated cross talk show it's coming up in less than ten minutes but here's a taste or. so the tea party is going to have to compromise but they haven't got a clue about their positions because they will not be able to stop spending on social security and medicare those are desperately necessary to stop poverty in the
4:24 am
state about what about defense and i exactly right and they will not be able to and they refuse they refuse to say that the fence spending can be cut even though secretary gates says it can be so they have no clue as to how to really stop government spending ok to let me ask you this does anybody have a clue or is anybody going does anybody have a clue let's be honest neither. do i agree oh no come here it is a good outline but nobody. is coming about ten minutes time before that child is here with the latest business news. and i welcome to the business program here and with me. the sky is the open once again across russian pilots no longer need to seek permission to fly in the city but while certain regulations for light weight been canceled some up schools remain
4:25 am
as the native unfaded explains. this guy's a little russia open to small of the session as of this week light aircraft flying below three thousand meters no longer have to seek permission from their route twenty four hours it had been given permission authority is now required pilots to notify them of their flight plans small of nation existence is far from floor showing and while the new rules are welcome once more law doesn't make a summer as the saying goes on an international regulations regional regulations are still an obstacle to open skies it's a rather small but important development for russia's air industry well it's a little small aviation can become a good base the pilot training because now you face a serious deficit of pilots small aviation can also keep alive the whole range of regional airports all over russia in the future and may even form the basis of commercial transportation. unlike europe and united states flights over big cities
4:26 am
up and regional flights have to navigate a mountain of people who are it requires commercial and political will to develop the segment legislation might ease the way through but it wouldn't change dramatically if saw a market driven. and in our case or in case of the aviation market development in russia it's about the mentality change mine your own russia even in small planes is still a lot of room then and every day reality with the russians vast territory to develop air transportation at all levels we're going to starting small but the potential benefits are huge. zinaida movie business r.t. . now the federal reserve's decision to pump extra dollars into the u.s. economy is the worst thing they could day go into economists and co-author of the
4:27 am
gathering storm were eighteen investment experts published their views about the global economy. decision to increase quantitative easing by six hundred billion dollars is a complete disaster i mean we're not in a situation where the total is going to be something like eight hundred fifty to nine hundred billion dollars by the end of next year and that's going to be approximately one hundred ten billion per month which effectively means that really what we're seeing is a sort of a repurchase agreement of the american deficit if you look at the economics actually manufacturing was rebinding in october according to american statistics true there hasn't been a particularly exciting number of private sector hiring but the truth is that actually the job picture was improving ever so slightly within the private sector which is the engine of the american economy the american government is certainly not the retail sales have been remarkably strong over the course of time therefore it's quite bizarre because what we're risking is an economic and market distortions
4:28 am
the dollar is being pushed through the floor and that's really the sort of a polling beggars our neighbor kind of approach which isn't going to help the american economy because it's simply making imported foodstuffs more and more expensive and creating inflation for the average working mom while at the same time it's basically leaving places like the eurozone with a further problem because it's increasing the value of the currency and making those economies less competitive. time around have a look at the locket the performing in on the green day for asian stalls that high on friday following gains on wall street closely related shares are on the rise the meantime the next aligning with about five point three percent and in fact going to from four percent in take. day for now we can always find most or it's on our website if you don't call.
