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 everybody else and take a look at ourselves but china is not the only scapegoat u.s. 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 the people who don't want to do business with the west sending mixed signals has become normal business in washington d.c. has the media organization which oversees america's international broadcasting walter isaacson has recently included the country's supposed 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 trend in demonizing china michael bloomberg warrant that the cahsee quinces may backfire badly. if you look at the us you look at who we're electing to congress to the senate they can't read i'll bet you a bunch of these people don't have passports we're about to start a trade war with china if we're not careful only because nobody knows where china

is nobody knows what china is fear mongering thrives where there is a lack of information with ignorance making people more susceptible to wargaming theories and some us politicians take advantage of it but a question they don't answer is a fear will be able to remedy the country's economic difficulties or make americans more secure get a check on our team washington d.c. . the ratification of the latest russia u.s. arms reduction agreement has been stalled by washington the new start treaty signed in april should cut the two country's nuclear arsenals by a third but it 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 the 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 subsidy 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 the heritage foundation and their friends in some party some members of the tea party caucus who are 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 count this year so if this goes down this looks very bad for obama it 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 leighton 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. foreign policy reporter right there well still to come for you in the program here on r t sometimes the old one the. good cartoons are more popular than the modern day t.v. comic. the world is

marking the international day against the war more than two decades after the fall of the burlington beriah palestinians to who still live surrounded by a concrete fence in the west bank demanding it be torn down but has been finding out some locals are using the five hundred kilometer long wall for their own benefit. 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 bills had sworn in front of his house and behind it and to the science of it so that now he's completely closed in this gate he's only contact with the outside world and he's the only one with the key bridge over i was told just try different ways to get me to move they tried to force and also by offering me money indirectly they offered me an open chair 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 parties 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 his son runs what he calls alternative to it and brings tourists to see israeli settlements checkpoints and border fences but he's highlight the wall part of my mind mainly the work you are shocked i have a lot of people been occurring in the proof you know on the have like some jewish people come with an offer of to have jewish americans but jewish israelis aren't allowed to sign up to go into the palestinian territories it's shutting this well i mean i as a fan of pink floyd that i thought that this world belongs to belong to the past so

this is these people here they cannot get inside jerusalem nobody some of them there but they have to go through checkpoints. you know what's the what's like. israel insists the walls kept suicide bombers out army spokeswoman avatar leibovich says most of its nearly five hundred kilometers is in fact 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 girl to gussy is leaving for america where she's arranged to give talks and raise money to help palestinians you know started by

a wall and that she can't live without having certain candidates. live in poverty but the wall 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 or territories and a tour that involves a palestinian raid but it's no holiday for honey because while tourists can come and go he's stuck hear him didn't buy an israeli wall polish fear r t israel. a prominent russian journalist who was brutally beaten in moscow is in critical condition in hospital two attackers ambushed oleg kashin with metal rods on friday night nearly beating him to death investigators say the there is

disturbing. vietnam may be one of the only five socialist states in the world but its economic progress is notable business is booming hirees offices sprout up everywhere and the people have opportunities to improve their lives but that wasn't a vietnamese struggle and not french reasons. that 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 nicknamed agent orange over this country not many could have predicted that those from the most well be the soldiers on the battlefields but their children most at home or even born at the time. hootie 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 blot says that's when they said she was affected by agent orange it's very difficult to in 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 problems he can cheat 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 paid some compensation for what they did no money can give my daughter her life back nothing can pay for this pain. yes rumors are over the. top afghan government official has been killed by a roadside bomb in the east of the country they say were also reported two of its

a grim picture for russia's modern day cartoonists as artie's tom bart reports. it's cartoon time in the mask of each 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. will you 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. to mental many say they prefer soviet cartoons even if they're decades old to western creations in one called hedgehog in the fog the little hero has to find his courage and some friends to help him out of

that parents watched soviet and russian animators have long innovated despite a lack of funding the cartoons they created seen if anything to be growing in popularity with the current funding situation as bad as it is the question is whether you cross an animation that can survive to inspire children like these. s.k. . it is now about twenty minutes past the hour here in the russian capital bear in mind we are online for you twenty four hours a day with many more stories and videos to what you'll find waiting for you right. now tackling the city's most pressing issue traffic has already outlined basic measures aimed at solving the problem. and saying sorry might be more difficult but don't worry as a new service guarantees you'll be forgiven and to apologize to loved ones on your behalf details waiting for you.
