2:12 pm
a champions of those same policies and indeed many irish senior irish political figures have ended up in senior positions within the european union because they are of a mind body in pursuing these failed policies that have done so much damage to this country and to the european economy if the european commission and european central bank want to save the euro then they should pay for it on the bondholders and the speculators who caused the crisis they should pay to save the euro not for. poor people and working people who have no responsibility no hand our part in creating this crisis in the first place and frankly i don't care one way or another whether you're a survives but i care about as is that there's fairness for ordinary people that they aren't expected to suffer hardship and poverty as a result of the mistakes of politicians bankers and financial speculators. but a reasonable turn surely was a staged in performance from a kremlin crew. prime

minister putin takes to the mike find out why a little bit later tonight. supporters of wiki leaks declared cyber war against companies they see as obstructing the anti secrecy website master card visa and pay pal all come under attack when they stop taking donations for wiki leaks and after the swiss bank account of its founder julian assange has frozen he's been arrested in britain and is currently waiting extradition to sweden where he's accused of sex crimes meanwhile as art he's going to count found out the firms that have cut off weiqi leaks appear happy though outspoken hate groups among their clients. the u.s. government has presented no charges against julian a song but that hasn't stopped government officials from reportedly putting pressure at the highest level to cut off weekly leaks money supply
2:14 pm
a senior executive of america's money transfer giant pay pal said the state department had written to the company claiming the online whistleblower was involved in illegal activities so people how long with massive card and be so are no longer accepting cash donations for the controversial web site the threat of this has some impact on national security and would you say that in the united states everybody. you know what's their patents and they do what they're told. and so i think that it's a misconception in some cases that people think that the us is purely a money driven society it's not the government has certain parag particularly over national security no court ruling no legal procedures were needed to crack down on the radio going ization later pay-pal backtracked on its statement it had acted upon a government's request mastercard and visa were most the face of on the subject but
2:15 pm
the general explanation they give for not accepting donation payments for we kill it says that the site quoting courage is promotes facilitates or instruct others to engage in illegal activity but on the other hand nine their master card more. problems processing donations for say nuku clark's clan a racist movement and his two nanny with a history of extreme violence with the goals of racial segregation and white supremacy and yet it takes seconds to make a donation to the klan a number of senators including the chairman of the homeland security committee joe lieberman were quick to pat those companies on the back for cutting off cash to weaken but americans crack down on the organization that appears to be fighting for transparency and freedom of speech leaves many asking what happens to american values of freedom of expression these are very difficult things for us to space as americans this is not what we believe in our country we believe it's
2:16 pm
a country that respects the marker on going to be shown that we're the opposition is not easy but us politicians do not shy away from flashing their democratic values when rooting for a chinese fighter for freedoms he won the nobel peace prize so there you see the governor of west over the so-called international community. is targeted for having released information. what what you should be doing and you have a case where the same people will be pushing for a candidate which is this isn't within the people's republic of china so they are playing double standards with that regard some even suggest why not give the price to julian of songe. freedom of speech will surely. be a rational explanation for giving it to wiki leaks others can't help asking if us
2:17 pm
officials are so down and we kill leaks why aren't they after the new york times in the same way or the british newspaper the guardian or germany's they're speaking it those are the we kill its partner papers one other incredible thing about the prosecution is that so many people are falsely reporting that wiki leaks has dumped two hundred fifty thousand documents that's not true at all they only were putting stuff up on their web page when you go to the new york times or der spiegel. or the guardian or a place where putting up. so what could possibly be the legal rationale for going after we can leaks and not going after the new york times there are a lot of unanswered questions about week one thing is on the surface the u.s. shows it can interpret democratic values however it wants depending on its games ganesh chicken or t. washington d.c. a poll of the american people shows that concern for their country's wars in iraq and afghanistan has hit

a low when he was stumped when asked basic questions about the conflicts but maybe it's not entirely their fault as artie's lauren lyster explains next tonight some blame the us media for putting celebrity gossip above what's really important. an average day on the streets of the big apple an urban metropolis of lights cameras and action these stars and stripes preside over it all. they're the same one seen here that come marching somberly home from the us wars overseas though they seem a world away so too do the wars in afghanistan and iraq for the american people who know only this black president of. the order of it's the. confusion of ballons over who the us is fighting and where with no defense of the losses how many u.s. troops u.s. soldiers would you say have been killed in the war in afghanistan oh far too many obviously and it's and it's terrible and i i hope it can be resolved i hope that
2:19 pm
how many would you say. more than forty four hundred u.s. troops have been killed in iraq more than thirteen hundred in afghanistan. and along with lives those missions together have cost the american taxpayer a lot of cash i would say probably about twenty billion. the wars together have cost more than one trillion dollars and counting money spent since the u.s. invaded iraq back in two thousand and three and afghanistan when. one question because unlike the afghanistan. two years the u.s. has been there since two thousand and one nine years the responses we've gotten here in the heart of new york city's times square are that surprising when you look at a recent poll it down public concern with the wars is very low just seven percent of americans consider the wars in iraq and afghanistan to be the biggest problems
2:20 pm
facing the united states now why this is the case is up for debate but some point to the role of the u.s. mainstream media which focuses more attention on sin. seasonal news even entertainment headlines then on coverage of the war stories when it's hard to dramatize our successes and you know our heroic accomplishments you know people tend to look the other way it's something that's sort of more engrossing if you will perhaps a less important for the news this is a low and say in rehab has been cut short focuses more on something like this from a court ordered rehab coverage of the rehab stints of the young hollywood actress morning network shows they definitely like to focus on the fluff and in turn people searching to come up with answers to questions about the wars their country is fighting have no trouble answering this lindsey lowe an issue still in rehab. now i think she's out there she's going to be made we have known these are headlines they
