saying all is fair in love and war has been used to justify many military decisions but when during the vietnam war the united states began deploying a chemical weapon a claim agent orange over this country not many could have predicted that fills up from the most will be the soldiers on the battlefields but their children most of whom mourning even born at the time. who to whom is thirty four years old he would never guess by looking at or born blind and with many severe physical difficulties her parents feed and bathe her to this day her life was taken away from her before she was even born. my daughter was born blind and we didn't know why until would soakers of the hospital in. and the doctors did some blots that's when they said she was affected by agent orange it's very difficult i can care of her because she's completely helpless completely dependent. for a decade american jets dispersed eighty million liters of the then brand new

herbicide over the territory of vietnam operation ranch ranch did not win the war but did achieve its goal of destroying millions of hectors of agricultural fields and expose nearly five million people to its deadly poison. half a million children in vietnam were born with severe physical and mental disability all because of agent orange. no u.s. government nor the chemical companies that made the herbicide have paid a single cent in compensation to those whose lives were destroyed by their work their only relief has come from the vietnamese government and various international organizations like the red cross who have set up so-called peace villages their affected children get their chance to live a life with as much normality as their conditions allow power who can treat kids and then detain them at the same time we only get fifty cents per child from the government but we need more of course to help the children in the home they study

in a school on site play with friends living in the village and get medical and physical treatment from the doctors but not many of them will ever grow to be fully independent and self-sufficient adults and that is the harshest of all their burdens. even if the united states bade some compensation for what they did no money can give my daughter her life back nothing can pay for this pain. gas rumors are r.t.e. vietnam. us officials war the rising and chinese sentiment in washington could spark a crippling trade war with beijing and that's despite china being america's biggest creditor and its number two trading partner but as r.t. has guided to count reports the chinese are in the only improvised bogeyman on the u.s. horizon. when the economy's bad unemployment hard i blame china many u.s. politicians use that tactic to get elected this year maybe you ought to run for

senate trying something close to hatred is being promoted against china here to the point when new york city mayor michael bloomberg said enough is enough. i think in america we've got to stop blaming the chinese and blaming everyone else and take a look at all cells but china is not the only scapegoat us politicians use to score points. when it comes to security and defense issues there's a host of other countries actively promoted as boogie man in the u.s. flyers like this are being turned out by a major conservative think tank in washington they're designed to form a negative public opinion on the landmark arms control deal with washington that's up for ratification in the senate it would be absolutely wrong for anyone to try to demonize russia at a time when we need russia's cooperation in order to limit the amount of nuclear

weapons when it comes to the future of the start treaty the ramifications of washington's fear mongering policy can be destructive as far as i'm concerned forget about reset by not ratifying start by not going forward with deputy accession we are just going to bolster that latter group that people don't want to do business with the west sending mixed signals has become normal business in washington d.c. has a media organization which oversees america's international broadcasting walter isaacson has recently included the country's suppose partners china and russia on his list of america's enemies as he put it a statement that he later backtracked on speaking of capitol hill is popular trending demonizing china michael bloomberg warrant that the cahsee quincy's may backfire badly if you look at the u.s. as who we are electing to congress to the senate they come treed i bet

a bunch of these people don't have passports where to start a trade war with china if we're not careful only because nobody knows where china is nobody knows what chinese. fear mongering thrives where there is a lack of information with ignorance making people more susceptible to theories and some u.s. politicians take advantage of it but a question they don't answer is it here will be able to remedy the country's economic difficulties or make americans more secure vanish check on our team washington d.c. . the u.s. has been pushing china to revalue its currency at a time when washington has been pumping billions of dollars into its economy the issue of exchange rate is expected to be one of the toughest discussion points at the g twenty summit in south korea later this week u.s. economist michael hudson believes there is no hope a deal will be reached. when the united states is declaring financial war

on other countries the united states is going to china and saying we want you to commit their comic suicide just like japan did we want you to follow the same thing we want you to revalue your currency we want you to squeeze your companies we want you to go bankrupt so we can make profit at your expense we want you the chinese to allow our banks to gamble on your currency and make a huge gain on foreign exchange speculation sort of our banks can get out of the problem that we've got them into will you please help us by going bankrupt for our benefit well you can imagine what the chinese are saying they're laughing they're thinking you know are you guys jochen. now the full interview with us economist michael hudson is coming up in about twenty minutes so stay tuned to our team. another problem facing the u.s. is the ratification of its arms reduction treaty with russia which has ground to

hold a new start treaty signed in april should cut the country's nuclear arsenals by a third but i won't come into force until ratified by both sides something moscow says it's ready to do foreign policy reporter josh rogin explains what's holding washington back. if they've made this decision that they want to postpone the vote on the agreement on next year or if they just want it to go down altogether or not pass at all that's a decision that's going to be made totally absent of the rational substantive arguments for against the treaty how it affects our security this is pure politics it's not really about the merits of the treaty it's about the politics of republicans versus the obama administration you've got the public in leadership who wants to sort of see if they really think this could be a benefit to national security and then you've got this far right group there it is foundation and there are friends in some party some members of the tea party caucus we're just going to be against it off together who stands to benefit those who want to put an end to the u.s. russia reset as put forth by the administration the bottom line here is that what

they have to benefit is to deliver a huge foreign policy failure to the bomb ministration what we have here is their white house putting all of the credibility of the reset process on this agreement and it's also one of the only few foreign policy successes that they can really tout this year so if this goes down this looks very bad for obama looks very bad for the senate democrats it looks very bad for those republicans who want to work with senate democrats so there is a new thinking about russia both in the administration and in congress but for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction so those who are skeptical of the u.s. russia relationship are ripping up their efforts to oppose this new dynamic and that's what we're seeing here and unfortunately the takeover of the house foreign affairs committee by a noted russia skeptic representative ross lane and points to increased power for this group within congress minority and small as it may be for resisting further u.s. russia cooperation so it's much easier to thwart initiative then to implement it so what we're going to see here is increased attempts by those who are russia skeptics to push back against the administration's efforts to improve relationship with

russia and the administration will have to read but its efforts even more to overcome that we just don't know yet how it's going to play out. for him possibly for josh there. and still to come in the program old classics are in the ever forgotten dominates modern t.v. parents are turning their kids towards old soviet war two. and us palestinians remains to rounded by giants concrete fence the world is marking the international day against the wall some locals are using the five hundred kilometer long barrier for their own benefit and while palestinians are organizing wall tours to showcase their oppression some israeli companies are cashing in on the barrier. honey a mare lives on a hot piece of real estate but it's not because of his view seven years ago the israeli army both had sworn in front of his house and behind it and to the sides of

it so that now he's completely closed in this gate his only contact with the outside world and he's the only one with the key but over all the soldiers try different ways to get me to move they tried to force and also by offering me money indirectly they offered me an open check and told me how my life would change if i took the money and left the country construction on the wall began eight years ago along the nine hundred forty nine armistice line between israel and the palestinian west bank israel insists it's for security but palestinians complain it's a part of hate and the international court of justice has said it breaches international law since the wall was built so i want to clear as well as keeping people out it's also been bringing others in businessmen who has son runs what he calls alternative to is and brings tourists to see israeli settlements checkpoints and border fences but he's highlight the wall of the mill mine mainly the work your

shop i have a lot of people been occurring in the polls you know on the i have like some jewish people come with an office of jewish americans but jewish israelis aren't allowed to sign up to go into the palestinian territories it's shutting this program in as a fan of pink floyd that i thought that this world belongs to belong to the past so this is these people here can not get into jerusalem nobody some of them there but they have to go through checkpoints. you know what's the box like. israel insists the walls kept suicide bombers out army spokeswoman avatar leibovich says most of its nearly five hundred kilometers is infected feigns with less than four percent. concrete in the entrance to bethlehem you will see a concrete wall because in two thousand and four fifty percent of the suicide bombers that entered israel came from bethlehem so only in those places that has

extra security sensitivity that's where the concrete wall was built elsewhere as you can see here we're talking about a regular fence with electronics but there's nothing regular about caging people in say this israeli couple who are taking the wall on to a goal to gussy is leaving for america where she's arranged to give talks and raise money to help palestinians are injured by a wall and that she can't leave without having certain film let's. hear it live in poverty but the war means money for some travel agencies winning business from showcasing or perhaps revealing in israeli security measures. if you're planning a trip to the holy land gone are the days of visiting traditional religious sites now if you go online you'll find two is like the ultimate counterterrorism mission a tour with the army territories i'm a tour that involves a palestinian raid but it's no holiday for honey because while tourists can come

a favorite with both kids and adults in russia and beyond and as criticism towards modern day telly and its obsession with violence rises a number of parents are turning to old school cartoons as a way of educating their kids yet with huge funding cuts the future is looking bleak for those drawing out the future artie's tom barton reports. the. time in the moskovitz household. on the telly not the latest animation creations rather old soviet classics i mean apart from many other things these cartoons lay the very basics of my concepts about life what's good and bad what's bible and what's to be ignored. like them or not these old cartoons have a huge following throughout eastern europe in the former soviet union and new generations are just as captivated. yes they gave us

a very good message. that mental many say they prefer soviet cartoons even if they're decades old to western creations and one called hedgehog in the fog the little hero has to find his courage and some friends to help him out of the mist. but mostly it's about good over evil he was lonely and fearful in the fog able to tell who or what was around him but then he was helped by his friends and was rescued here the cartoons creator says that works like his to live a healthy morals to children as well. we're speaking of humaneness pope john paul the second used to say if you want to bring up your children in a humane way show them cartoons. of the most famous is called go. where the furry little hero learns lessons about life and friendship with his crocodile friend again or another just you wait who can wolf

chases a hare without the violence of some of its western counterparts. when i was small i love to watch just to wait for who is my favorite character i always pity the wolf to the wolf was perhaps my favorite more than the hare. and here was one of the homes of modern russian animation the center of national film in moscow has helped create welcome stroker a new animated feature film about the famous one nine hundred sixty s. . bass talks so far it's sold well but its critics say it is just a copy of american cartoons which certainly there are some american clichés nonetheless is a unique product a unique russian picture we tried gathering as much information as possible about the fifty's and early sixty's to demonstrate it in our film despite the team's hopes some old russian cartoon micah's worry that the innovation of the soviet era is over the reason capitalism in the financial crisis have slashed state funding in half. with state sponsored films one could take

a risk the film that didn't go to distribution could be written off the program produced it these days would never take risks he just wants to make money from films. which means that for now the mascot children will stick with the current is that parents watched soviet and russian animators have long innovated despite a lack of funding the cartoons they created scene if anything to be growing in popularity with the current funding situation as bad as it is the question is whether the question animation can survive inspire children like things. that's going. on we are in line for you twenty four hours a day with many more stories and videos and here's a taste of what you'll find right now at. the new mayor of moscow is now tackling the city's most pressing issue traffic as outlined basic measures aimed at solving the problem. and saying sorry might be all of that sounds but don't worry as

service guarantees will be forgiven and offers to apologize to loved ones on their behalf taylor. childs here with the latest from the world of business. hello welcome to the business program with me i was folly countries are continuing to lash out of the u.s. decision to print six hundred billion dollars in new stimulus money central bankers and economists warn of inflation new bubbles and hot money inflates and russia could be on the receiving end of more as such out of work over ports. stimulus wars. the biggest are fanciful and the restaurant

has washington's decision to print new hundreds of billions on greenbacks japan was first with over sixty billion dollars of freezing but the u.s. shot back with a round of stimulus ten times as big huge waves of hot money are expected to hit men in the eastern and southern emerging economies russia's official response so far is surprisingly positive but it could be some additional capital inflows into russia of course you know interest currently foreign capital is very small and we are interested in attracting further capital so in the short term this move can be seen as a plus for us. but to many voices are critical germany calls the us policy clueless it will lead to artificial economic growth in the u.s. asset prices bubbles all over the world and eventually in march higher inflation that will erode incomes and savings if you're a businessman and you want to get

a credit to do business the bank would incorporate this inflationary expectations you know screw the streets which eventually would mean that troops would go up. as a result would slow. agonists a developing countries inflation is already quite high and they cannot match the u.s. moved by increasing their own money supply so analysts predict the dollar will depreciate against many currency is speculates of capital stock markets now keep assets overvalued in ben bernanke his words higher stock prices consumer wealth increased confidence and spirit spending analysts say this is simply a rerun of the ass a bubble before the crisis broached as it must once again that's your business are to the. times of the. us so

economies and russian officials are concerned about i think we're not at that point yet so i think there. inflationary pressures that we see there is to a manageable and so in my view yeah give us more money. jav in fact in september showing europe's largest economy is slowing down no point five percent of time surprise economists were expecting again as is the feeling the montagues from europe's top exporter as the region's governments cut spending. all it is outline is tax and spending plans to use military affairs commissioner as a struggle to avoid a greek style bales would trim next year's budget by the equivalent of eight billion dollars with fewer investors willing to lend to the country as cash reserves may run out by the middle of next year experts doubt the country can afford even more these five percent interest offered in the greek rescue. russia is
