6:01 pm
leaders by u.s. diplomats and spying on the u.n. secretary general it's information anyone now has access to after classified documents from u.s. embassies across the globe were revealed by online whistleblower wiki leaks our correspondent has more 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 u.s. has secrets but that it's no longer able to keep those secrets also the reason they released shows not so much some huge secret facts but rather the level of correspondence among u.s.
6:02 pm
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 also read or the german chancellor angela merkel was were 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 as someone did bad still not clear who one of those versions is that the leaks were used to undermine obama take a listen as i understand a bomber administration is supposed to pay the bills or of the last administration because of the documents of eight dated back to the year two thousand and four two thousand and five so i personally have
6:03 pm
a friend in the on going attack on president obama which started not today which aims. 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 the first of all because of the revelation itself how is 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 how embarrassing and often undiplomatic those cables actually actually were some are saying the leaks could be an inside job by some disillusioned or discouraged 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 officers and they're looking for a not exactly fair business in this moral decay and so it depends again who's these
6:04 pm
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 cancel now it's another sign that the us 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 should save you and 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 if you walked out on a reporter who asked about the way we are a leader 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
6:05 pm
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 get some awkward moments are awaiting her there because of us the pool. it's opinions on a whole variety of of a shift in the region available to everyone now never the less 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 tighten measures 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 the you eyes diplomacy a favor that would make them work better and maybe watch what they're saying behind the backs of their allies even. director of the trends research institute gerald
6:06 pm
celente says the leaks showed the u.s. government's shortcomings. 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 at the t.s.a. to grope people and feel about as they 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 incompetence we the people should have the right to this information they want a transparent government let's have it 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 ops not make it public let's let everyone know what's going on this is the
6:07 pm
diplomatic top this is the bulls and then we have these crazy congressman i don't want to call them a terrorist so no 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 to really are my colleague bill dogs to bill dogs spoke to a former intelligence officer an analyst glenmore trenor harvey he says the wiki leaks story is an embarrassment for the u.s. government. what you choose is how the whole intelligence community has become over reliant on technology i mean the idea there isn't something called super net it's ip on it 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 that what has happened that whereas maybe forty thousand people within the intelligence community would have exes
6:08 pm
suddenly bizarrely diplomats military people and indeed intelligence people there's over two million people attacks and stuart so what is extraordinary we haven't had leaks like this before and does that mean in effect that we could leaks 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 to fail in some way it talk about stable doors closing off the hole so that this is a dreadful day and it's hugely embarrassing. the debate over the approval of a key arms reduction treaty with russia is heating up in washington democratic leading senator john kerry is calling for the new strategic arms reduction treaty to be ratified before a newly elected republican in a fuse senate is able to block it next year new start is quite simply a commonsense agreement to control the world's most dangerous weapons and
6:09 pm
have stability between the two countries to countries that possess over ninety percent of them. just think of the statement it makes. through 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 moment 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 and i think certainly the american people expect us to make the treaty signed in prague
6:10 pm
in april by the russian and american presidents would see each nation's nuclear arsenal cut by about thirty percent the agreement tops obama's 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 hamper u.s. missile defense efforts. what could be more important than trusting the news when information we see and hear in a special report later this hour an american veteran journalist examines how the media shapes public opinion and whether it's an information gateway or possibly a means of manipulation. it was created to serve public interests 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

6:12 pm
attempt to hamper the country's nuclear program from abroad. if you live in iran it's a very peaceful place and i think much of happens when these kind of actions are carried out it is generally from. with that coordination with. 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. for their terrorist activities and the proxy terrorist organizations in the middle east so i can take anymore on that there are interests that. i think the world already knows who they are iran's nuclear program is very extensive but entirely peaceful now why would they want. to get i have no idea they react as they used to make medicine they used to generate electricity the light polluted react is the combi any deviations keeping iran on

6:15 pm
needed three weeks and finally that north korea is weakened or annoyed and. intimidated the problem is the political damage in these war games with china which is just sharing the same. west in a sea of blue in the hills of china and the people that are probably china is getting very nervous along with north korea every time it was. staged in the spirit of the korean war which started in one thousand t. has never ended the arms disagreement which was concluded in one thousand nine hundred eighty three simply stops the. exchange 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
6:16 pm
is not. part of this armistice agreement so it's a clear violation from what they were side so it's out there in the united states start military exercises solve the thirty eighth parallel or the northern limit line which they you know that. the west where. the actions can easily be interpreted misinterpreted by north koreans as a violation of arms disagreement. taylor now as well as stories making headlines across the globe in egypt people have taken to the streets of the capital protesting the results of sunday's election demonstrators claim the ruling party rigged the ballot enchanter slogans. the opposition says the ruling party wants to control the parliament to pick a successor to the current leader hosni mubarak who's been in office for almost three decades the presidential election will happen next year. a series of protests have broken out in haiti in the wake of sunday's election while the government declared the ballot

6:18 pm
afghan foreign minister thank you very much for being with us today our pleasure as a foreign minister when soviet forces withdrew from afghanistan you had 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
6:19 pm
to be free independent and sovereign country to be friendly with its neighbors good region and have his own destinies or her and get something good 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 thirty years since nine eleven two cards and one when international community. came to afghanistan to liberate afghanistan from different after taliban. afghanistan is facing tremendous challenges to rebuild itself and because for thirty years of the war the country which solidly was a poor country has been completely destroyed for the challenges the hard rebuilding the country giving the normal life toward people how our children go to school to have a health care i tried to you kate. that is what you're trying to do now
6:20 pm
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 major change that 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 the tribal chief in the tribal people of the first victim of to have been killed or to get a. 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 in london and kabul conference by international community and it's been concretized and had that summit
6:21 pm
in lisbon that's a real things that afghanistan should be in the hands of afghans and the security to 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 or not there will be supporting force not 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 region. including russia so wonderful are a product of our foreign policy to fight terrorism and extremism and stability of
6:22 pm
afghanistan in the region is a vision 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 in addition to a solution for it we'll be in deep trouble because that will continue until the longest time you 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 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
6:23 pm
to afghanistan in two thousand and eleven to go 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 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 a it is a major fight. to get. this right cannot be done by afghanistan alone we need support of international community and we need the support of the regions by force of the floor by the precursor which are not produced in afghanistan has proved outside afghanistan and came in sight. we will do all of things all of the job to reduce and eliminate poppy cultivation in afghanistan but also. in the region
6:24 pm
should do did afford to reduce the demand because because because the demand the production of poppies there so it's a common effort not commonly ford of 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 the nato led 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 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 cause you know you cannot make democracy in one
6:25 pm
