literally relations with russia are very important to us and we would like these relations to be economically beneficial as well you'll also like to find out how russia could assist lebanon and equipping their army and security forces in this respect we are going to propose some ideas that are russian friends. is ten members of nato will benefit from its partnership with russia the organization secretary general has sat in an interview to a german newspaper ads for grossness and also stated that russia and nato cooperation is the best protection for the alliance members secretary general was optimistic about joint work on missile the fans of europe what will be a key issue abigail summit in lisbon this week which russia will attend but why analyst male choice from a car's foundation is positive about russia nato joint projects but says moscow shouldn't forget its other allies. i believe should the mentum be retained in

russia need to relations should brush formally become. all of nature in missile defense many of the issues will be sorted out by themselves given the level of mutual trust between nature and russia will increase significantly should they have joint missile defense of course russia will need not to compromise any of its existing. blocks of relationships it's a very amicable relationship with china russia will only become closer with nato as objectively as some of the world's most effective militarily countries and looks. as we haue troitsky political analysts from the carter's foundation here in r.t. . the republicans call to slash spending across the board seems to have gone down well with voters in the u.s.

midterm elections with the economy in ruins politicians say there will be cuts in education and health care but there is one multibillion dollar area that they won't touch. with the u.s. debt in the trillions in the economy still in the toilet it's no surprise politicians in washington are calling for this solution it's across the board spending cuts and in fact it was the rallying cry of heard around the cable channel talk on midterm election night when you get right down to the details so charity may be here medicaid you can however that is not what i say it looks a lot more clear that across the board cuts really exclude a fifty eight percent chunk of the budget and i mean that's why it has turned to spending would you cut defense across the board as well as domestic have you do you do not cut defense that how can politicians afford not to touch the six hundred billion dollars a year elephant in the discretionary room. that rises to over a trillion dollars depending on what you factor into what you're calling defense minutes a politician democratic or republican or

a particular session of congress begins to we need to significantly cut spending there's an immediate outcry of those congressional districts that are impacted. and sure it's political and hey being a superpower doesn't come cheap it's a question of maintaining ready to have a capability to project force in other words it costs a lot of money to support this it's our empire we have an empire we have half a million of our troops you know other people's countries all over the world. maybe the spending isn't that big of a deal when you put it like that sounds like a huge giant number of terms of u.s. dollars but we have a fourteen trillion dollar economy but here is what else is quickly approaching fourteen trillion dollars the u.s. debt get the u.s. continues to demand spending almost as much on defense as the rest of the world come. fine relies on other countries to pay for this countries like china to fund us debt or another words to fund us to america storing all of these dollars in iraq

and. afghanistan in japan and its bases around the world that's what the deficit is and that's what the us isn't talking about at the fed all american politicians would rather sidestep the issue i never get bored or protect defense at the cost of programs americans count on such as social security some high profile players are drawing attention to what actually resembles reality comedians for one america is like a family that spends way more than they bring in and dad to give up that big stupid boat. and you know what america's stupid boat is it's our empire oh yeah and former budget director of republican presidents. and the. son is an imperialist power and we can't have credit card imperialism we can't be the policemen of the world because we can't afford it we're going to cut defense

drastically but with the will on capitol hill looking more like this if you do you do not cut defense and the president overseeing this astronomical defense driven debt what does this really mean for the country it means that mr obama is trying to turn the united states into a third world country just as george bush did and just as clinton did there's just as reagan did so there's been a constant movement of the united states to run up foreign debt without any ability to pay or even without any intention to pay and when that credit card is maxed out that tough talk we're hearing now that you're going to be falling on defense. more and lyster r t you york. and are always more stories on our website r t dot com here's a quick preview of what might catch a ride in one casters predict the coldest winter russia has ever seen. there's no sign of it yet what moscow is experiencing a record breaking warm november day. and it seemed to be puppy love at first sight

a blog to let people know the problems moscow's homeless face those who come to her for help simply call her doctor elisa. we help some people to return home the priority here is people who are seriously sick with cancer and tb those who are beaten up if we can we find their relatives i also try to help those who have come out of prison all at once a week the homeless and the needy from all over moscow come here so that they can get supplies of food and even medical treatment if needed but as is the case with many operations of this kind the supply just does not meet the demand. in summer will lack t. shirts in the winter we don't have enough food because they need to stay warm in the winter which is impossible without food we need more room it would be good to have a place where they could stay at least when it's really cold though she faces a daunting task with limited resources those who know her say their lives are

him who are the caregivers also become emotionally handicapped they have no where to go for help a dilemma that gives dr lisa the inspiration to continue to help one person at a time sean thomas r t moscow and coming up in ten minutes time here in r.t. we take a trip to a place geologist called nature's an egg that's our special report that can talk about and so on in the far east of russia but here is a preview. are you. comfortable. just. hearing.
