a major embarrassment for the u.s. state department that thousands of classified diplomatic files have been released by the whistle blowing web site wiki leaks i'll be back with more in washington you know. to senior iranian nuclear scientists targeted in bomb attacks tehran blames israel saying it's an attempt to hamper the country's nuclear program . and keeping tensions high south korea pyongyang with a regional joint naval exercises with the u.s. coming dangerously close to directly provoking conflict. live from our studios here in central moscow this is r t with you twenty four hours

a day so 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 with wiki leaks corresponding 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 documents some experts are saying what's really embarrassing is not the fact that the u.s. has secrets but that it's no longer able to keep those secrets also the reason the release shows not so much some huge 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 emperor things skinned and off 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 pres the mid of it 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 as someone did that still not clear who one of those versions is that the leaks were used to undermine obama take a listen as i understand ministration is supposed to pay the bills or of the last administration because of the some documents of eight dated back to the year two thousand and four two thousand and five so i personally have

a friend in the know this is ongoing an attack on president obama which started north today which aims. to allow him to be reelected many were quick to dub it as a diplomatic crisis for the us not just because of the fact revealed in those files but most. most of all but first of all because of the revelation itself how's that possible right the secret of us they department allowed this to happen how weak their protection system must be if more than two hundred fifty thousand classifiable files managed to pour out and second of all home bearer saying 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 us government workers. 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 in this moral decay and so it depends again who's these

leaks the main thing this leak has done is break delusion that the state department has everything down to control they have been exposed mechanisms not secret but quite simple and cynical public news of the us will cancel now it's another sign that the u.s. is no longer dominating the world as we remember earlier this year we can release thousands of secret documents on u.s. actions in afghanistan and iraq they showed civilians killed by american forces though 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 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. that's opinions on a whole variety of of issues in the region available to everyone now nevertheless many countries that were mentioned in those files were kind of restraint in their comments including russia. it was fun to read sure but in actual policies we prefer to base our decisions on our partners concrete actions we're going to practice this approach in the future. meanwhile obama ordered to tighten measures to safeguard classified information but we can explain this to reveal more i haven't heard an opinion here at that maybe we can you eyes diplomacy a favor that would make them work better and maybe watch what they're saying behind

the backs of their allies the. kind of content to me to learn and director of the trends research institute says the leaks show how incompetent the u.s. government is. well it's just another example of how inept the united states government is it's just another level whether it's losing wars in iraq or afghanistan whether it's insane policy that they call it at the t.s.a. it grow people feel about it they go. whether it's failed health care or how about this failed economic policy everything that was. they turn to really and this is merely another example of their levels of incompetence we the people should have the right to this information they want a transparent government let's have you know we should have every right to this information this is it shouldn't be hidden information what is this coming from

a higher law not make it public let's let everyone know what's going on this is the diplomatic story this is the and then we have the congress i don't want to call him a terrorist so 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. and he talking to an alert and the former intelligence officer an analyst. he says the whole we can leak story is an embarrassment for the u.s. . what it shows is how the whole intelligence community has become over reliant on technology i mean the idea of something called super that our net the secret internet protocol and the idea was for an exchange of information you know after nine eleven where the intelligence services weren't sharing their information together the waters happened that whereas 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 at texas to it so what is extraordinary we haven't had leaks like this before and does that mean in effect that we can x. is 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 in a sense not in favor in some way in talk about stable doors closing after the horses bolt this is a dreadful day and it's hugely embarrassing. it was a lot more twenty harvey talking to me a little earlier now the debate over the approval of a key arms reduction treaty with russia is heating up in washington democratic senator john kerry is urging the house to ratify the latest arms reduction treaty before the newly elected congress is able to block it next year in. the new start

he is quite simply a commonsense agreement to control the world's most dangerous weapons and stability between the two countries two countries that preserve us over ninety percent of them. just think of the statement it makes. to those countries contemplating where around may be going when the countries that possess ninety percent of these weapons begin to dismantle more weapons and provide intrusive verification steps between us for how we will both behave what an important statement this motion element of time with respect to a rainy and behavior with respect to north korean behavior and what a completely opposite irresponsible decision it would be if the united states senate just got bogged down in politics and walked away from this moment unwilling

to make the kind of decision that offers the kind of leadership that the world that i think certainly the american people expect us to make. the treaty signed in prague in april by russian and american presidents would see each nation's nuclear bomb about thirty percent the agreement tops above his foreign policy but needs to be ratified by the u.s. senate republicans are trying to stall the process saying they need to be sure that the u.s. nuclear arsenal will be modernized and that the treaty will not have put u.s. missile defense efforts. well what could be more important than trusting the news and information we see and hear in her special report next hour on american veteran journalists examines how the media shapes public opinion and whether it is an information gate way or a means of manipulation. it was created to serve public interest to inform and to entertain. 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 newspaper radio stations television stations the cable outlet. public opinion versus f.c.c. broadcast blues. a senior iranian nuclear scientist has been killed in another one when did 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 attach bombs to the current iranian government blames israel and the united states for the incident journalist and broadcaster kim mokhtari told r.t. from tehran that it was an attempt to iran's nuclear program from approved. 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 planning. their agents who might have been able to get in the country which in this case they have 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 can't expand any more on that they're all 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. to get on i had no idea they react as they used to make medicine they used to generate electricity their 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 south korea holding four day joint military exercises in the yellow sea near the disputed maritime border pyongyang has reportedly put it surfaced surface missiles on alert comes just days after the north claim it was provoked product hillary on an island belonging to the south killing for it patrol a korean studies that says u.s. efforts to keep north korea on edge are coming dangerously close to deliberately sparking a conflict. 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 you will see is to make sure the koreans and their manes. along with japan in this region well trained well prepared needs more weapons. probably the provide the needed books and finally that north korea is weakened or annoyed. intimidated the problem

is the political damage in this war games is that china which is just sharing the same. the west in a sea of blue is also the yellow sea of china and people who are probably china is getting very nervous along with north korea every time those drills staged in the spirit of the korean war which started in one thousand and fifty 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 or not 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 literally do in the west where. the actions can easily be interpreted misinterpreted by north koreans as a violation of arms disagreement. let's have a quick look at some other stories now from around the world making the headlines and first to egypt where people have taken to the streets of the capital protesting results of sunday's election demonstrators claim that the ruling party rigged the ballot in chanted slogans your position says the ruling party wants to control the parliament to pick a successor to the current leader hosni mubarak who has been in office for almost three decades the presidential election will take place next year. a series of protests have taken place in haiti in the wake of sunday's election while the government declared the ballot a success most candidates are calling for the results to be canceled due to fool many candidates have also accused the outgoing president of rigging the election quite devastated country is still battling

afghan foreign minister thank you very much for being with us today my pleasure mr foreign minister when soviet forces withdrew from afghanistan you have been publishing air resistance journal for eighteen years what did you and your compatriots expect for your country's future back then as usual afghanistan wanted

to be free independent and sovereign country to be friendly with its neighbors. and have his own destinies that are on her and something that you want it and that's something that afghans always will how would you describe the state of your nation as of today afghan people have been at war for the last of thirty years since nine eleven two cards and one when international community. came to afghanistan to liberate afghanistan from developed the taliban in afghanistan is facing tremendous challenges to rebuild itself. because for thirty years for a country which solidly was a poor country has been completely destroyed so the challenges. 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 who would or friends 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 their plans transition in two thousand and fourteen why do you think nato changed its strategy and do you think its 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 the tribal chief in the tribal people of the first victim of the terrorism which are being killed every day. date of two thousand and fourteen afghan proposal president karzai is a first degree speech in the second term signal 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 and 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 of afghanistan and the remaining force of international community need to another's will be supporting force not a fighting force how is the russian effort to help their russian effort to what they help the war effort perceived in kabul i think russia is the great country. in the world is a great partner of afghanistan in the region and we seek the support and cooperation of russia for p. 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 one off war product in war foreign policy the fight against terrorism and extremism and stability of

afghanistan in the region is regional 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 in addition to a solution for it we'll be in deep trouble because that will continue until a longer time sir he told the un general assembly and i quote you to complement our efforts towards eliminating poppy production who wish to see greater action to counter smuggling of precursors into our country and to reduce demand and consumption of drugs in other countries as of today over two and a half million russians are addicted to afghan heroin this is where mr why has your administration and your allies failed to tackle the poppy production first of all the poppy production in afghanistan have to result of thirty years of war and lawlessness and despair of the afghan people who do new tomorrow he's going to be a life or not you know security for their future. secondly when he came to our back

to afghanistan in two thousand and eleven to two thousand and one two thousand and two don't have any institution to fight it no police no judicial system no army and that will take time before you can put. in place but the fight that gives not quite pick is also one of the priority of the afghanistan because afghanistan will be first of all that suffer first before they are there will suffer from it and you are 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 to get them done this fight cannot be done by afghanistan alone we need support of international community we need the support. regions by enforcement of law by us mentioned a precursor which are not produced in afghanistan is proof outside afghanistan and came inside afghanistan we will do our things all job to reduce and eliminate poppy

cultivation in afghanistan but also do a war in the region should do do 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 giving too far out of afghanistan the alternative which they will accept to grow something poppy elections have also been a lot in need lately two actions have taken place since to me till that invasion both sat fraudulent with the rigging with results published only two months after the poll what do you say to those who claim when you and your allies are planning an unsustainable political system afghanistan is a democratic system afghanistan after thirty years of war and lawlessness and no government practically were different kind of government has now system to democratic process is taking root but you know you cannot make democracy in one day

in your country especially in a country that i've been a war for for thirty years so i think that there are probably going to be problems and i think the problem on election is not only in a specific in afghanistan a lot of countries even more developed countries have a hard problem in the election but the process is going on. people are. living in democracy that's the reason people are complaining millions of people in a very difficult condition of security when to vote a lot of women for the first time in afghanistan or will know in the election to be men a lot of priests there are good news with afghanistan where the afghanistan cannot be switzerland or sweden in nine years mr foreign minister thank you very much for this interview and i wish you and your people every success in achieving peace and democracy in your country.
