live from our studios here in central moscow this is alex here with you twenty four hours a day good to have you with us unflattering assessments of world leaders by u.s. diplomats and spying on the u.n. secretary general that's information anyone has now access to after classified documents from u.s. embassies across the globe were revealed online whistleblower wiki leaks correspondents in washington. in moscow have more. those are thousands of cables from american embassies around the world sent to washington and from washington they expose diplomatic information never manned for public eyes for example the documents show hillary clinton ordered american diplomats to spy on you when leaders including bank ki-moon and the permanent security council representatives from china russia france and the who hate among many other files two years ago u.s. ambassador in georgia for example reported at about preparations a by georgia's president mikheil saakashvili to attack south osage here and after the attack it

would wipe to washington with calls to come up with a response to those who don't believe it at the indices of saakashvili in those documents are also direct calls from saudi arabia to attack iran or detailed accounts of what u.s. diplomats think of the afghan president and his corrupt brother this batch of secret diplomatic correspondence includes some unflattering u.s. intelligence assessments of its relations with many countries and their leaders the u.s. embassy in paris described the french president for example as a as a naked emperor thing skinned and all three tarion or the german chancellor angela merkel was mentioned as angela tafel and merkel because so little seems to stick to her or among other things the u.s. embassy in moscow described president medvedev was playing robin to put bettman as you can see some of the wires may sound amusing but never the last one revealed in

public they proved to be a major embarrassment for the state for the u.s. state department as i understand a bomber administration is supposed to pay the bills or of the last administration because of the some documents of rate dated back to the year two thousand and four two thousand and five so i personally have a friend in the on going attack on. president obama which started not today and which aims not to allow him to be reelected a number of the documents concerning russia have been passed over to the a risky part toward the russian border magazine and the dude who didn't contain some the sensitive and controversial information if it is sure you just heard being then talking about some political nicknames being given allegedly by american diplomats in their conversations when talking about leaders all some of the states and allies of the united states for example the political tongue down between the

prime minister of russia vladimir putin and the president meeting with was allegedly referred to as the batman and robin and pushing himself was allegedly referred to as the alpha dog suggesting that the power in russia is in the hands of the prime minister rather than after president foreign minister said you have all saying that moscow is not going to change its approach towards its a foreign policies because of this scandal according to him the approach is based on the actions that precise actions on measures conducted by foreign partners rather than. is based on some leaks of documents we've also heard from meet the press secretary of the russian president who said that the kremlin didn't find anything interesting in these documents and in fact compared some of them to stories made up by hollywood there's not that much new information in these documents and some of the facts represented contained in them already well known

facts in the back station foremost we know pretty much more of what the united states thinks about leaders in the ballot events and cross the seas. there is a thing would be simply to see it in print on official documents though bomb administration is ordering government agencies to immediately review. seders for safeguarding classified information someone describe it as a as an epic blow to the u.s. diplomacy and a blow it is u.s. officials are trying to dampen the damage somehow hillary clinton made some call sort of ahead of the week he leaks released as she called china for example leaked u.s. diplomatic cables put china's relationship with iran for example under way new scrutiny by suggesting beijing hadn't complied with u.s. requests to stop transfers of tehran a technology and materials that could be used in its weapons programs this is just yet another huge batch of classified files leaked by the whistle blowing web site

earlier this year wiki leaks released thousands of secret documents and u.s. actions in of ghana's stand in iraq they showed civilians killed by by american forces and some experts believe that the state department is no longer able to control the outburst the for information there. are these leaks would never have happened if not for the number of inside just who are ready to leak this information it looks like it's linked to the wars in iraq and afghanistan when offices and they're looking for a not exactly fair business and this moral decay inside the pentagon caused these leaks the main thing this leak has done is break the illusion that the state department has everything under control they have been exposed mechanisms not secret but quite simple and cynical partners of the u.s. will be more careful now it's another sign that the u.s. is no longer dominating the world for the revelations are often so embarrassing for the u.s. that was saturday here called for the state department to include we kill leaks in the list of terrorist organizations and those were all two correspondents going to

con from washington d.c. and you could open a can of reporting from moscow well no stranger to the secret life of diplomatic circles the former british ambassador craig murray says envoys should not talk behind other leaders backs but address their concerns directly. most of this material is not really very highly classified and it doesn't contain a great deal but the world wouldn't have suspected already. the difficulty is of course that there's been a great deal of discontent with the united states foreign policy ever since the iraq war with the continuing occupation of afghanistan so a missile launch on a gauge your ground to have people putting out information into be public domain that's a new fact of life that diplomats services have to come to terms with i think diplomats should speak honestly about world leaders i think the difficulty is that you have people speaking honestly and private cables but not speaking on this lead to people

stay says diplomacy shouldn't just be a synonym of duplicity if you have a problem with a world leader you should tell them so explain what the problem is politely but firmly. where you get trouble is where your very very polite to people spaces and been very good about them in in private and that sort of behavior shouldn't be any more acceptable in diplomacy even is in private life difficulty comes where you pretend for example the british or american government tends to be very concerned about human rights worldwide but in fact in certain countries they're willing to overlook human rights abuses you won't see them talking much about human rights abuses in saudi arabia in israel or in others of their close allies and i think. the big embarrassment for them is that that kind of double standard is exposed by these by these leaks i don't think anybody can say the should be no secret state would be a crazy position to take but i think far too much as kept secret far too much as

kept confidential far too many documents over classified when a more straightforward and honest approach would remove the need for that and remember the public are paying for everything the public. have international relations conducted in the name of the people and people dearly have a delight to know what is going on. what could be more important than trusting the news and information we see and hear when her special report later next hour an american veteran journalist examines how the media shapes public opinion and whether it's information gate way or a means of manipulation. it was created to serve public interest to inform and to entertain. these days there's nothing easier than opening a new media outlet but there is nothing then revoking its license in case of corruption.

you can get involved in a community where you have one large corporation controlling the deal the newspaper radio station television stations the cable outlet. public opinion versus f.c.c. broadcast blues. a senior iranian nuclear scientist has been killed in another one wounded in two separate bomb attacks in tehran wives of the physicists have also been injured the attacks were reportedly carried out by many cycles who touch bombs to the cars iranian government blames israel in the united states for the incident journalist and broadcaster told r.t. from tehran that it was an attempt to hamper iran's nuclear program from abroad. if you live in iran it's a very peaceful place and nothing much of a happens when these kind of actions are carried out it is generally from abroad

and it's carried out with coordination with. their agents who might have been able to get in the country which in this case they have and countries that are interested and i using iran's nuclear program to broadcast. to the world and they're also known for their terrorist activities and the proxy terrorist organizations in the middle east so i contact anymore on that they're all interested parties i think the world already knows who they are iran's nuclear program is very extensive but it is entirely peaceful now why would they want to. country's efforts to get on i have no idea they're reactors they used to make medicine they used to generate electricity they light water reactors they can't be any deviations keeping iran under their thumb is one of the main main objectives of such actions. and you can find more on our website it's r t dot com online all the

time and there are some other stories there including an armored vehicle on the streets of a lot of russia's far east raised fears that war was about to break out over it turns out it's only was just popping to the shops. and also on vine a glimpse of a russian underwater bicycle pedal powered submarine opens up the wonders of the ocean depths to everyone with or without diving experience. reports suggest china is planning to send a top foreign affairs diplomat to north korea as part of attempts to ease tensions on the peninsula beijing wants an emergency meeting of the six nations involved in north korea disarmament talks south korea says it's not interested in formally resuming talks on the subject tensions have been stoked by the u.s. and south korea holding four day joint military exercises in the yellow sea near

the disputed maritime border and has reportedly put its surface to surface missiles on alert it comes just days after the north claiming it was provoked fired artillery on an island belonging to the south killing four. korean studies electrum says u.s. efforts to keep north korea on edge coming dangerously close to deliberately sparking a conflict. there are many questions about the reasons behind the u.s. . military exercises that have been already the fourth military exercise in the last eight months i believe that is to make sure the koreans and their manes. along with japan in this region are well trained well prepared needs more weapons. probably the worst providing. needed republics and finally north korea is weakened or annoyed and. intimidated the

problem is the cultural damage in these war games with china which is just sharing the same. water area the west in the sea of blue angels the yellow sea of china. the people's republic of china is getting very nervous along with north korea every time those drills are staged in the spirit of the korean war which started in one thousand he has never ended the arms disagreement which was concluded in one thousand p.t. three simply stops the fire exchanged between the parties so whoever starts the fire on either side of the demilitarized zone of the normally limited line may be named as an aggressor of course staging military exercises is not. part of this armistice agreement so it's a clear violation from what they were side happens here in the united states start

military exercises solve the thirty eighth parallel or the northern limit line which they will literally in the west. the actions can easily be interpreted misinterpreted by north koreans as a violation of arms disagreement. the u.s. led war in afghanistan has now been waged for longer than the soviet campaign in the country already close to a decade the u.s. presence is set to last for another four years with combat troops not withdrawing until twenty fourteen but as all of these military contributor colonel is going to khrushchev says the situation is only getting more complicated. u.s. military campaign in afghanistan. has beaten this of its record. duration well naturally based on your american record has triggered lots of questions regarding to what extent is it possible even to compare the size of it and nato campaigns in the same country well what most experts and analysts have totally

missed is that it is not correct to compare at all that then saw it and now american military presence in afghanistan paradoxically for no other reason that it these steel the same thirty years plus war that had been triggered by a bank in one thousand nine hundred seventy nine it started as the cia proxy war against this some of its union then after the soviet forces was drawl that television came in to get rid of the anarchy only to be followed by the united states operation enduring freedom when they came counting for osama bin laden so now this is the american face of the same thirty years plus war beach was also triggered by the united states now it's totally in capsulated within these bermuda triangle pakistan to united states and afghanistan itself. we're going to push off

there and incidents of abuse and civilian deaths in afghanistan are things u.s. forces have long been blamed for parties so if you discuss this and other aspects of the american led campaign with the afghan foreign minister now that interview is coming up your way in about ten minutes from now here's a quick preview of what dr zalmai rassoul believes the afghan forces could do. with creative tension build would be sure of detainees be sure of civilian casualties. of the night raids in the house more and more afghan forces will be charged after combat less than this would be described of problems. well before we join for the business news let's have a quick look at some other stories that are making headlines around the world at this stage of the day the government of haiti declared sunday's elections

a success although the majority of candidates are calling for the cancellation of the results due to fraud it accuse the outgoing president of rigging the election the quake devastated country is still battling a growing cholera epidemic which has so far claimed more than a thousand lives and much of the eleven billion dollars in aid promised by the international community has not yet arrived. the brazilian government has claimed victory in a major battle against drug traffickers security forces swooped on a gang stronghold in rio de janeiro's most dangerous slum units were deployed in the military operation in which least thirty five people were killed brazil will host the twenty fourteen football world cup and the twenty sixteen olympics and bringing crime under control is its number one priority. here is even now the prime minister has ordered an inquiry into the mine tragedy that left several dozen workers dead the blast occurred two weeks ago at the plant

river called. killing twenty nine people several other explosions followed and the rescue teams were unable to enter the pit the coal fire which started after the last explosion is still burning and emergency officials say retrieval of the bodies could take weeks. what do stay with us here on r.t. we've got that exclusive interview for you with the foreign minister of afghanistan that's coming your way in a few minutes or so just a reminder of our web site is r t dot com online all the time they can check out our program share jools we can listen to and see your feedback on anything you see here on r.t. and also plenty of other news stories too it's all available at r.t. dot com the business news is next now with shredder. hello welcome to our business program. president dmitri medvedev has suggested more tax cuts for those who back innovative startups he was speaking at a gathering on modernization and technology the president said investors should be

exempt from taxes when they sell their shares in a start up projects such as invest their own money differing from venture capitalists who manage third party funds the president suggestion is the latest proposal to inspire a russian version of silicon valley but business leaders doubt the economy can be modernised by decree one thing. is a big bust doctors. are used to actions how to how to implement and. it's also important to develop infrastructure also develop trust in business and why should promote development of joint interest. before us is a little bit more skeptical about government. investing in the particular technology if you wish to google it but i would search for the good government should do and will stoop should do is promote equal rights and promote. the right climate for such investments to prosper. well let's take

a look at the markets in russia the indices had a positive start but closed down on the day plus hydro and ross now lost just under one percent on the my six year old kallie shares fell after damage to a railing the company uses to ship potash from its main washing line and no one else nickel were also down over one and a half percent on the us. the e.u. has agreed on an eighty five billion euro bailout package for our land but that is still only a fraction of the money the bank and ireland have lost and many doubt this summer is enough to halt the crisis the head of london school of economics told business r.t. that the bailout package is credible but irish banks will have to give up their global ambitions. the i.m.f. and the rest of the european union are now standing behind the irish government the question remains however what is the future for the irish banks because in the past they were very large they did

a lot of international business particularly in the u.k. and my own view is that's over that we will have to see a significant contraction in the activities of the irish banks and they will have to go back to being essentially local domestic banks because this adventure that they went on overseas was a failure last week chancellor merkel made a strong quote she asked if politicians had the courage to confront the bankers and bondholders to make those who took the risks share in the bailout how comments were barely reported in the western press why is this a touchy issue because if you say that's what you are thinking about people in the market react to it immediately so this is not something that you can speculate about either have to have a clearly worked out plan which involves a debt restructuring which is for everybody painful maybe but at least

equally painful if you have that plan and you can do it you could do that for greece or italy for portugal you could say we're going to have a standstill and over the weekend we're going to work out but everyone's going to take a haircut that's possible what you can't do is speculate about it is this still a threat of a double dip recession in europe and should any additional losses be taken i'm not personally concerned about a double dip in the center of the european economy if you look at what's happening in germany which remains by far the largest economy the economy is moving ahead really quite well the french economy is doing ok and the british economy is also recovering actually rather better this year. people expected the problem is in the periphery if you like the southern european countries including. the very last competitiveness during the years the first decade of the euro

particularly the southern europeans did and they now have a fundamental structural problem they have to try to improve their competitiveness which unfortunately within a single currency zone means they're going to reduce their wages and reduce their prices and that's what is going on and it's very very difficult to do and that's all the updates for this hour but you can always find more stories on our website at r.t. dot com slash business stay with us. the
