when the economy's bad unemployment heart blame china many u.s. politicians use that tactic to get elected this year maybe you ought to run for senate trying to get 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 everybody else and take a look at ourselves but china is not the only scapegoat u.s. politicians used to score points. when it comes to security and defense issues there is 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 their designs 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 the beauty of 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 the media organization which oversees america's international broadcasting walter isaacson has recently included the country's suppost 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 trendy in demonizing china michael bloomberg warrant that the cahsee quinces may backfire

badly. if you look at the us you look at who were electing to congress to the senate they can't read a bit 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. this and some us politicians take advantage of it but a question they don't answer is if the year will be able to remedy the country's economic difficulties or make americans more secure get a check on our team washington d.c. . well he was foreign policy changed significantly during the george bush era especially following the nine eleven attacks after staying out of the limelight since leaving office almost two years ago america's forty third president is now having his own say on his time in office it is memoir decision points he reveals

his thoughts on the most historic and controversial parts of his reign he says he was shocked and angry with no weapons of mass destruction were ever found in iraq but nevertheless believes the u.s. invasion of the country was right he also describes his lifelong problems with alcohol. and of terror suspects he says he personally approved the use of waterboarding because he believed it helped prevent attacks former cia officer raid the government says no such methods can ever be justified. well number one it saved no lie in itself is a big lie the proof is in the putting it creates more terrorists secondly it could ever be justified torture is one of the techniques but one of those things is always intrinsically wrong just like slavery. or genocide

always wrong by george bush's. because there is some lawyer said he hired to give them the correct answer so you know you could go ahead and waterboard people waterboarding being universally recognized everywhere but in the white house as torture is you don't get to disengage psychologically from a dependency such as our alcohol without help this person is about the almighty intervening and his turning himself over to the almighty is in the extreme he needed professional help and when he listen to the almighty child who want to invade iraq well that's where it gets really ridiculous it's not the almighty that i know about well still ahead for you in the program going to extremes find out why british political parties and membership rules have a lot of their party important and toxic legacy people soldiers left vietnam and

decades ago point out how america's use controversial use of chemical warfare continues to cost suffering. and while politicians are trying to bring peace to the middle east thousands of palestinians say they're living under a birthday of our almost seven hundred kilometers law has been dividing the west bank for eight years israel says it's for security but palestinians insisted segregation polls leader want to check all what's hiding behind the peaceful side. 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 ironically as well as keeping people out it's also been bringing others in business man abu his son runs what he calls alternative to is and brings tourists to see israeli settlements checkpoints and border fences but his highlight the wall of the mill mine mainly the work he was shot i have a lot of people been occurring in the polls you know on the 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 it shutting this well we i mean i as a fan of pink floyd that i thought that this world belongs to belong to the past so this is this people here 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 infective fence 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 enter 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 you know surrounded by a wall and that she can't live without having certain candidates. and you 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 and a true if it involves a palestinian raid but it's no holiday for honey because while tourists can come and go he's stuck here him didn't buy an israeli wall paul is here r t israel.

doctors say a russian journalist who was severely beaten up in moscow is still in a critical condition all leg kushan was rushed to hospital after two men assaulted him with metal vaults on friday night nearly beating him to death russian lawmakers say they will consider a draft that would toughened punishments for attacking journalists caches assault follows a series of attacks on reporters in russia in recent years they've vested gaiters they caches work for the newspaper and as it turned out bloggers the most likely cause for the incident the journalist made a name for himself by slabbing several high profile government officials president dmitri medvedev has vowed to bring the perpetrators to justice. now the vietnam war may have ended thirty five years ago but the suffering it created remained to this day the u.s. used a poisonous herbicide called agent orange to destroy forests and agricultural lands but the deadly chemical also killed hundreds of thousands and continues to cause

horrific birth defects now you may find some images it got that he does a lot of us report a disturbing. vietnam maybe one of 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 thousands of vietnamese struggled and not financial reasons. to 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 will suffer from it most won't be the soldiers on the battlefields but their children most of whom or even born at the time. thirty four years old never guess by looking at or born blind and with many severe physical difficulties her parents feed and beat her to the. stay her life was taken

away from her before she was even born. my daughter was born blind and we didn't know why until wood soakers of the hospital in one thousand eight hundred one 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 is completely helpless completely dependent on us. for a decade american jets dispersed eighteen million liters of the then brand new herbicide over the territory of vietnam operation ranch and 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 someone who can treat 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. they study in a school on site play with friends living in the village and get medical and physical treatment from the doctors but now 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 meters are our t. vietnam well there's always much more to get your teeth into on our website dot com

including find out how poverty of despair pushes many iraqis to smuggle bad alcohol to neighboring iran at the risk of their freedom and their life. in picture imperfect how chasing beauty becomes a game of russian roulette with tons of fake a sweat exploding the market all the details that are. now the far right british national party is back in court to face charges that its membership rules discriminate against whites the equality and human rights commission is behind the legal action and this is a bad thing that clauses it says are racist or removed a ruling is expected next week as are a lot of it reports this is a case that originally. battle that began last year when the b.m.p. was ordered to remove a cloth or its constitution that banned nonwhite members and this court appearance

that's going on on monday and tuesday this week is about failing to comply with that order because the equality and human rights commission says that there are still clauses in the b.n. peace constitution which are discriminator and racist they cite two specific clauses one that still requires new members and existing members to oppose this simulation or integration of what the b.n.p. calls indigenous british people which have to be construed as meaning white people the equality and human rights commission accuses nick griffin the party leader of being a persistent offender right wing politics all over europe really has gained quite a lot of ground in the last eighteen months these right wing parties are more playing up the support of people who feel that the mainstream political parties aren't supporting them in their beliefs that immigration is out of control that domestic societies are being diluted by immigration and that is always particularly common in times of recession b n p one two european parliamentary seats in two

thousand and nine and that really was the pinnacle of its achievements the party faithful see this particular case is going on the moment as a win win situation the old adage there's no starch thing as bad publicity regardless of the outcome was it good to win win situation if we you know if it's. if they don't throw it out the. door the general public will see that we are the dogs and we're being picked on for what we believe in. also told me that the b.n.p. is signing up hundreds of new members every week but regardless of what they might say they are certainly in trouble these these european parliamentary seats they want in two thousand and nine really that's the best that they have done in may's general election they had high hopes for winning parliamentary seats but in fact they won none and they. all through the loft all but two of their local council seats and since then the party's been beleaguered by publics back leadership

contest which went horribly wrong with a lot of expulsions the result of this case all three may be that nick griffin may lose his european parliamentary seat. president dmitri medvedev has voiced concern about north korea's controversial nuclear program he was speaking to south korean media ahead of the g twenty summit in seoul the russian leader said that north korea's ambitions are a challenge to the entire nonproliferation regime and pose a greater threat that iran he also stressed that moscow is worried that the secretive state conducts its test so close to russia's borders but he said the problem must be resolved through diplomatic means alone north korea has carried out several nuclear tests since two thousand and six tensions increased after ya'll withdrew from the six party talks on this sort of a bit last year. and out to some other world news this hour british prime minister david cameron is in china for his first official visit to the country he met with

the question is how do you bury it in a way that is polite you want to do it slowly you don't want to do it suddenly but very politely they'll tell us your time is over so essentially the dollar will be a paper currency that can't be used so the irony of this is that the federal reserve in order to save banks that got into trouble by running crooked dishonest operations to save these banks they are sacrificing america's position in the world . you can watch that full interview around ten minutes time here on our t.v. but first the latest business headlines with kareena. and i welcome to business good to have you with us and we. start with our top story today gold and silver surged to a record high fueled by inflation and eurozone sovereign debt woes gold is hovering
