4:01 pm
with you as 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 by online whistleblower wiki leaks a correspondent has more now from washington. those files exposed definitely exposed diplomatic information never meant for public eyes but experts say most of those documents are nothing new for the international diplomatic community most employers are kind of aware of the u.s. attitudes take a listen we know pretty much more of the united states thinks of being leaders of the village events and for us to seize the very same thing would be simply to see in print on if we should documents some experts are saying what's really embarrassing is not the fact that the us has secrets but that it's no longer able to keep those secrets also the reason the release shows not so much some huge
4:02 pm
secret facts but rather the level of correspondence among u.s. diplomats which which some described as similar to high school kids chat the u.s. embassy in paris for example described the french president as as a naked am per things skinned and officer or the german chancellor angela merkel who had mentioned as angola tafel on merkel whatever that means or among other things the u.s. embassy in moscow described president medvedev as playing robin to putin's batman you find a lot of nicknames in those files actually that would be an amazing great if it were not so diplomatically embarrassing there are lots of versions on who would want all that secret secret diplomatic correspondence revealed someone did bad still not clear who one of those versions is that the leaks word used to undermine obama take a listen as i understand ministries is supposed to pay the bills or of the last administration because of the documents of break they did back to
4:03 pm
the year two thousand and four two thousand and five so i personally have a friend in the know this is an attack on president obama which started north today . to allow him to be reelected many were quick to dub it as a diplomatic crisis for the u.s. not just because of the fact revealed in those files but most. most of all to first of all because of the revelation itself how is that possible right the secretive us they department allowed this to happen how weak their protection system must be if more than two hundred fifty thousand classified files managed to pour out and second of all how embarrassing and often undiplomatic those cables actually actually were some are saying the leaks could be an inside job by some disillusion and or discourage the u.s. government workers. these leaks would never have happened if not for the number of in scientists who are ready to leak this information it looks like it's linked to the wars in iraq and afghanistan when officers and they're looking for
4:04 pm
a not exactly fair business in this moral decay and so it depends again pulls these leaks the main thing this leak has done is break delusion that the state department has everything under control they have been exposed mechanisms not secret but quite simple and cynical public news of the us will be more careful now it's another sign that the us is no longer dominating the world for those who remember earlier this year we can mix released thousands of secret documents on u.s. actions in afghanistan and iraq they showed civilians killed by american forces so this was just another huge batch of classified files leaked by the whistle blowing web site the wiki leaks are definitely causing a lot of american and for the obama administration they're trying to sort of play this down in obama's case just just they get more he walked out on a reporter who asked about the we are later today secretary of state hillary clinton is now doing all the damage control work sort of sort of here's what she said i want to make clear that our official foreign policy is not
4:05 pm
set through these messages but here in washington our policy is a matter of public record as reflected in our statements and our actions around the world mrs clinton as we know is now on her way to central asia wanting guess some awkward moments are awaiting her there because of us they pull. it's opinions on a whole variety of of a shift in the region available to everyone now now over the last many countries that were mentioned in those files were kind of restraint in their comments including russia because. it was fun to read sure but in actual policies we prefer to base our decisions on our partner's concrete actions we're going to practice this approach in the future. meanwhile obama ordered to tie can measure us to safeguard classified information but we can expect them assist to reveal more i haven't heard an opinion here at that maybe we can leave you as diplomacy a favor or that would make them work better and maybe watch what they're saying
4:06 pm
behind the backs of their allies the been. talking to me a little earlier now to discuss the effect of the latest leak on global policy i'm now joined by trend for costa gerald celente he's there in new york good to see you gerald so what do you make all of all of this do the what do the latest leaks tell us about confidentiality in the us state department well it's just another example of how inept the united states government is just another level whether it's losing wars in iraq or afghanistan whether it's insane policy that they call at the t.s.a. to grow people and feel up as they're going through security whether it's failed health care or how about this one a failed economic policy everything that washington touches they turn to ruin and this is just merely another example of their levels of
4:07 pm
incompetence let's talk about the methodology here is this latest revelation do you think a sign of how we're going to get our information in the future is this a new kind of journalism or somewhat and journalism moving away from conventional ways of getting information. i think it is the new way of journalism because journalism today in the american media does scrapes how about you know look at the garbage they talk about michael jackson for months on end tiger woods so the internet is opening up a whole different way of of new journalism for the twenty first century and this is an example i heard hillary clinton's quote about how american foreign policy is public while great this is these wiki leaks are making it more public we're seeing how incompetent they are how would double speak they use how they show was handshakes and smiles on t.v.
4:08 pm
while they're doing dirty talk behind their backs no this is the new way of of journalism however but look what's going on also some clowns out there that call themselves congressman call this stuff terrorism yet so we're going to have a position with the federal government as they did last week they're going to start closing down side and prosecuting people let me just ask you though that nevertheless there are claims that this could in danger lives this could ruin international relations and also threaten national security it's a reckless way of getting information what do you say about that. or were those their claims the basis of the claims they have about this claim saddam hussein has weapons of mass destruction and ties to al qaeda i mean they make claims all the time where i would any one of the thinking adults mind believe anything the government says to them especially when we see these facts revealed in another
4:09 pm
light read my lips no new taxes i did have sex with that woman monica lewinsky i smoke but i didn't inhale we the people should have the right to this information they run a transparent government let's have it but what about the dangers where this can definitely affect relations either between the us all rush to the scene between saudi arabia the u.s. and iran i mean this is very dangerous sensitive stuff all based on what many say is just between diplomats but is actually being made public that can be extremely damaging and it's not actually official lingo rather than chat this is more than chat between diplomats this is what's really going on how about this being damaging to the public how about the crown pin prince of that democracy saudi arabia telling the americans that we should go to war to fight his battles and that's who the people do the american boys and women and men and women die for oil yet we should have every right to this information this is it shouldn't be hidden information
4:10 pm
what is this coming from higher ups don't make it public let's let everyone know what's going on this is the diplomatic clock this is levels speed just finally you mentioned earlier that you do agree that this could be a new form of journalism in a way of accessing information now to do you think that we can mix will continue to reveal classified documents or do you think the u.s. administration will actually succeed in shutting up the whistleblower which of course it would love to do. it's very hard to tell but boy this guy's life is on the line i really started these. people want to blow his brains out i have you know we had these crazy congressman and i don't want to call him a terrorist so now they're going to try to stop it every way they can but you know it's very difficult to say where it's going to go what is very interesting here what you have to say it absolutely joining us live there in new york thanks very much indeed for your input here on r.t. thank you thank you. for an intelligence officer an analyst glenmore turnier harvey
4:11 pm
told me a little earlier that the whole we could leak story is an embarrassment for the u.s. what it shows the whole intelligence community have become over reliant on technology i mean the idea of something called. our net the secret internet protocol and the idea was for an exchange of information you know after nine eleven where the intelligence services were sharing their information together that what has happened that where as maybe forty thousand people within the intelligence community would have access suddenly bizarrely diplomats military people and indeed intelligence people there's over two million people. so what is extraordinary we haven't had leaks like this before and does that mean in effect that we can it's is
4:12 pm
done in the us a favor here where i just noticed that right now the u.s. the white house has said it will be tightening security after all they say it's not in favor of someone talk about stable doors closing after the horses bolt. a dreadful day and it's hugely embarrassing. well the news now a senior iranian nuclear scientist has been killed and 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 men on motorcycles who attached bombs to the cars iranian government blames israel in the united states for the incident journalist and broadcaster mokhtari told r.t. from tehran that it was an attempt to hamper iran's nuclear program from approved. if you live in iran it's a very peaceful place and nothing much ever happens here when these kind of actions are carried out it is generally from abroad and it's carried out with their coordination with their planning and via their agents who might have been able to get in the country which in this case they have and their countries that are
4:13 pm
interested and are using iran's nuclear program to broadcast adverse publicity are known to the world and they're also known for their terrorist activities and the proxy terrorist organizations in the middle east so our contacts ban anymore on that there are interested parties and 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 hamper country's efforts to get on i have no idea they're reactors they used to make medicine they used to generate electricity their light water reactors there can't be any deviations keeping iran under their thumb is one of the main main objectives of such actions. by the way can find more on our web site is r t dot com and here are some of the stories online free at the moment including an armored vehicle on the streets of a lot of all stock in russia's far east raise fears that war was about to break out however it turns out his owner was just popping to the shops. and a glimpse of

a sea of blue is also the yellow sea of china and people's republic of china is getting very nervous along with north korea everything was. staged in this theory of the korean war which started in one thousand nine hundred eighty has never ended the arms disagreement which was concluded in one thousand nine hundred sixty three simply stops the. exchange between the parties so whoever starts the fire on either side of the demilitarized zone or the normally limited line may be named as an aggressor of course staging military exercises is not is not. part of this armistice agreement so it's a clear violation from what they were side happened so it's out here in the united states start military exercises solve all of the thirty eighth parallel or the northern limit line which they we're literally on the west where. the

4:20 pm
years since nine eleven two cards and one when international community came to afghanistan to liberate afghanistan from different of the taliban. afghanistan is fierce internment is trying just to do so. because for thirty years the war the country which solidly was a poor country has been completely destroyed so the challenge is the hard rebuilding the country giving the normal life toward people are our children go to school to have a health care target you cation. that is what you're trying to do now with or prince british defense chief general sir david richards said that nato should prepare for another thirty forty years to stay in afghanistan which makes and mockery of the plans transition in two thousand and fourteen why do you think nato changed its strategy and do you think that strategy defeating the tribal opposition was right in the first place number one it's not

a tribal position it is a fight against terrorism and extremism and to try. chief in this troubled people are the first victim of the terrorism which had been killed or to. date of two thousand and fourteen afghan proposal president karzai as the first inaugural speech in the second term said that afghanistan should take the responsibility of its own security starting by two thousand and eleven and if an issue by two thousand and fourteen that's been proposed and i dropped it in london and kabul conference by international community and it's been concretized. had that summit in lisbon that's a real things that afghanistan should be in the hands of afghans and the security of afghanistan is the responsibility of the afghans so starting by two thousand and eleven and finishing by two thousand and fourteen the afghan national security forces will be in charge of security. and the remaining force of international
4:22 pm
community need to or not there will be supporting force not a fighting force how is the russian effort to help the russian effort to what to help the war effort perceived in kabul i think russia is a great country great power in the world is a great partner of afghanistan in the region and we seek the support and cooperation of russia for peace and security in afghanistan because the security in afghanistan the stability of afghanistan is not only for afghanistan it took effect disability and security of the region including russia so wonderful our product in war foreign policy the fight against terrorism and extremism and stability of afghanistan in the region is a region of cooperation because the fight against terrorism and extremism is not only individual afghanistan it is a regional issue so if you cannot find a solution the additional solution for it will be in deep trouble because that will continue and take longer time sir he told the u.n.

4:24 pm
be a first for us suffer first before they are there will suffer from it and you're not taking the benefit of that because the money produced by the traffickers will go outside afghanistan and not stay in afghanistan so definitely it is there it is a major fight it would be a good conduct this fight cannot be done by afghanistan alone we need support of international community we need the support of the regions by enforcement of law by us mentioned a precursor which are not produced in afghanistan has proved outside afghanistan and came inside afghanistan we will do our things our job to deduce and eliminate poppy cultivation in afghanistan but also a role in the region should do did it forced to reduce the demand because because because the demand the production of poppies there so it's a common effort commonly for reducing the cultivation and giving too far out of afghanistan the alternative which they would accept to to grow something poppy
