and their bitter rivalry each side is showcasing their side of the propaganda war with competing theme parks but critics question the morality of displaying the spoils of battle. europe's streets are quiet for now but come the new year the austerity cuts will start to bite in many countries in britain it's the students who've been most vocal as they fight government plans to make them pay three times as much for college fees political grandy tony benn is giving the violent demonstrations his backing interviews coming up next. today i'm talking to the right honorable taney been one of britain's form a socialist and the president of the stop the war coalition tony benn thank you so much for talking to r.t. now you're a big believer in democracy as the means to pos power from what you call the wallet to the ballot what do you think is the state of democracy in the world today very
6:32 am
imperfect i mean if you look at the world people are beginning to see the world as a single unit i mean my granddaughters school in london with seventy six nationalities waiting to go to school it was like addressing the general assembly of united nations and i think that the younger generation see the world now as just roco village and they wonder who governs it can be controlled how it could be influenced and so on an area where i'm looking at the government of the village or the country or the. or the world it bound to our sense of what power do we have over the people who passed the lords and with the power of big business which is now enormous going across the world many big decisions are made by people we didn't elect cannot remove who do not have to listen to us so it's a very very big issue i think and you're talking about organizations like the
6:33 am
international monetary fund from the european central bank consoles or they are instruments of the international power of capital and they have a huge influence over the government policies you know or spain or britain or greece and and i think that issue is going to become a very big one look ahead and how can we post the power from the wallet to the ballot well historically it's been done by people who campaign for it i mean slavery was abolished because people looked. slave owner for all being a slave and said who gave him the right to do that to that man and once you are sequestered who gives him the right to do that then you have opened up a debate about democracy and is that what we're seeing happening now with these protests on the streets of europe well i think all demands by people to be heard. sometimes expression themselves in protest but otherwise you know argument or leads
6:34 am
are dumond's. central to the future advance of mankind and how has that happened do you think that we have gone from being a fairly politically apathetic population particularly in the u.k. to turning out on the streets in huge numbers and shouting about how government well if you look at it historically history is a good guide because if you don't know where you came from you don't know where you are or great trade deals have been made by exactly the same type of political campaigning how do women get the vote to get with you know there was a very little movement then women were determined to naked and painted they were and how did men get the vote in britain the trade unions get recognised how did slavery and there are moments in history when people look around and say we are being controlled by those who don't have to listen to us we've got to change it but do you support these people who are coming out to protest sometimes in quite
6:35 am
a violent and destructive way i very strongly support it because the right to education is a basic human right i mean we have accepted you know most parts of the world but the right to be educated the right to health. the right to use justice are human rights and if you take some of the way they're doing with the university training you have to pay to go then you are taking away people's rights and influencing the future of the country we seem to be saying somewhat of a hiatus. in the process and maybe with christmas and the new year coming up what do you think is going to happen once people recover from that new year stupor and realize what's going on well i mean i'm not a forecast journalist for cross the world i try to influence the time involved in the campaign against the cuts and i believe it will build up and build up because i think it is a threatening the whole nature of our society and so i would expect it would have
6:36 am
very very profound political effects in the future and as a campaign of what's your next step going to be to bring people together. solidarity say that students support pensioners who are finding their pensions are . disadvantaged public service support benefits are being cut to the thing becomes . a very very powerful political movement for justice and once that happens governments have to listen you're huge supporter of free health care for all and of the welfare state in general we've got figures from the department of work and pensions that say one point six million working age people in britain have never held down a job do you think the welfare state gone too far no. i remember the birth of the welfare state and it came in this way i was in the air force in the war as a pilot and i learned to ride africa and the nine hundred forty three i went out in troop ship and we had thousands of young people. and which i did have
6:37 am
a meeting on war aims and one young man i wish i knew his name but i didn't said this he shed in the one nine hundred thirty s. we had mass unemployment b. said we don't have unemployment in wartime he said if you could have full employment killing germans why can't you have full employment building hospitals recruiting doctors recruiting nurses building schools building and that was how we got there were first take we decided in one nine hundred forty five to apply the same determination to meet the needs of peace that we had throughout the war applied to be the needs of war and i think it wasn't an ideological so much of a practical solution and very incomplete and the conservatives in britain never really liked it and the cuts now our way of fighting an excuse for reducing it abit not created a sort of underclass of people who want most of asia to get a job because they can live fairly comfortably on money from the government i think
6:38 am
so i mean there are people who are homeless and there are people who are not employed and working class people are at the mercy of those who have the money to employ them and if you can keep a lot of people unemployed that is a threat to those that work because people say to themselves oh well if i don't accept low wages my job will go to somebody else i don't accept that argument and let's go back to democracy more generally do you see it as a panacea that can be applied to countries and cultures across the world name ottawa underlying principles are i think we're have a country and our lives in the dumond of people to be. and have some control is a natural couldn't. bond i heard a program of trying to gauge the other day which was about a school in trying where they agreed to elect the school representative and it was
6:39 am
a. sedating program because you realize that in that chinese school all the characteristics that we associate with voting in britain were taking place and then one day you know children will say well if we could choose our school represented when we were young why should we have a role in deciding the government and i think these things happen but. in order for them to develop you can't have a threatened society because of threatened society will repress domestic dissent because they feel it weakens them and we went to war in iraq ostensibly in the name of democracy but that's obviously not something that you support no i didn't think we did we went to war in support of interests and we use arguments governments use arguments to justify what they do and then everyone has the right no with the information of the disposal to question these arguments and say are they valid or not and if they are not valid why we're doing it and to stop the war movement built
6:40 am
up the biggest political campaign in britain in history of two million people live in london the next stop the war but it creates. a pattern of public opinion that compel governments to train their policy and since then have you seen support for what the stop will coalition is doing to minister in any way now i think it i think it built up to the point the maximum point just when we were going to war and now we will be in crowds and thoughts about the war tisn't the most dominant question but i think governments realise that when you do get your campaign of that power against what they're doing they are very vulnerable and wiki leaks and julian ourselves what do you think that wiki leaks has done to support your campaign releasing all this information about the iraq and afghan wallace well my opinion is the information is itself a very very powerful weapon in general governments want to know everything they can
6:41 am
about us they want. to tap our telephone open all letters to find out what we're doing and don't want us to know anything about them and so when all this information is circulating between ambassadors and diplomats without knowing about it we could buy it when we know we're able to put questions and so on and i think that with colleagues is a very very important event and a very profound one and very relevant to democracy and overstate the opposition to a case this saying that it puts the soldiers and those who are collaborating with the u.s. and british on race in afghanistan in danger what do you think about that well i think the question is why should we be it afghanistan or in iraq and that's the question everybody has to answer somebody with a story about a young person an old man said to him are you interested in politics and the boy said no and so the old man said we'll take an interest in politics before politics
6:42 am
takes an interest in you puts you in the obvious answer to afghanistan i think debates about policy are absolutely right. and let's separate out if we can for a moment the information about the iraq and afghan wars that we got from wiki leaks and then this latest u.s. diplomatic cables that have been released i would have thought that as. an antiwar campaign you would support diplomacy by any means as a as a as a first and last resort doesn't this weaken to play misty in the world no i think all it does is to reveal the way good progress is conducted but you're quite right diprivan machine is the alternative to war and therefore if you can get diplomatic contacts going so much the better but people are entitled to know what is being done. but does it really matter what insight is in the diplomatic corps think about presidents why isn't another sort of tattle tattle well that's gossip and go see if
6:43 am
you have to disregard because the politics of gossip is makes people cynical about test to that since that happens you must know it happens because it helps you to understand better what is really going on among powerful people tony bennett thank you very much. culture is that so much good news really create a lot of people a very up look at us consumption western lifestyles are being adopted globally but with the advent of the global recession all those who were once rich. the club still team has been to the region where industries are rapidly developing . now watty goes to the homeland of those with strength of mind

video. and. the palm of your. former oil tycoon mikhail khodorkovsky found guilty of stealing billions of dollars worth of oil a lot during proceeds the former head of oil giant yukos is already serving a jail sentence for tax evasion and fraud and. millions of americans struggling to find some christmas cheer this festive season even though jobless benefits have been extended for a further ninety nine weeks employment is still proving hard to come by. and tourists are the latest weapons being engaged by israel in lebanon in their bitter rivalry each is showcasing their side of the propaganda battle while competing with competing theme parks but critics question the morality of displaying the spoils of
6:46 am
war. joins us next with a sports highlights stay with us here on r.t. . hello there thanks for watching the sport and this is what is coming up. high flying monkey because they're incredible december run going in the cage. while you're going to be told the national side has learned his lessons from a disappointing twenty ten. bunch tonight to keep hold of top spot in england after victory and. start though with the kontinental hockey league where informatic make need to go when number six this month to make three likely because anyone see seven games in the whole of december. because nets are more or defending champions
6:47 am
as a goal or to also sell about your life came back from behind and scored for an ounce of gold to be beat by two and to your skull got a second win in a row with victory over. god got a good win on the road with the nominee. got the better of you in overtime. to stay with you because twenty time was a year to forget for russia's national hockey team there was the shock seven three defeat to canada at the olympics while a star studded lineup failed to bring home gold at the world championships rich poor feet caught up with the head coach for just because he says the next few years will be a rebuilding process for russian hockey. it's been a very difficult year for the russian national team the loss in the quarter finals of a lympics to the canadians amend defeat in the final of the world championships how difficult has it been for you personally was by the way it is difficult not to lose not just in sport but as a rule in life in general dealing with the most important thing is to make the
6:48 am
right moves and to pick your head up and start moving forward again it's a necessary fact of life in order to improve one must also experience what it's like to lose of course the defeat to canada in the olympics was difficult to swallow not just for us but also the team's fans and the country as a whole the world championships we tried to play more attacking hockey and finishing second isn't the worst result in the world and you always want to finish first but that isn't always possible as at the moment there are five or six teams who also want to win gold and count to serve as again sometimes it's important to lose in order to move forward to do it for you a little surprised that of course i was surprised that what happened i would never have expected us to lose seven three in a quarter final against canada when you're in a situation like this when you go behind quickly it's very important to make quick decisions to try and turn the game back in your favor when things are going against here one must never start to show their emotions it's imperative to stay calm to
6:49 am
try and give yourself a chance but unfortunately this didn't happen and psychologically we weren't able to compete with the canadians more and more russian veterans are returning to play in the cage from the n.h.l. does this mean it's much harder for russian youngsters to break into the national team is one of them on the bridge trying to build a national team around the best russian players whether they're old or young or that there are two or three youngsters going volved at the moment at the world junior championships and buffalo you're going with you i will be interested in having a look at it once they get back and call them out to the national school. on the other hand these veterans can give these russian youngsters a wealth of experience the great togetherness with me to play alongside experienced and talented players is an invaluable source of support as they're able to teach youngsters so much about the game both on and off the ice after returning to play in russia i think these veterans understand that it's part of their job to try and
6:50 am
teach the new generation of just like how they were taught by more experienced players when they were starting out their careers or process has been a long time since russia's produced a player of the caliber of alexander ovechkin or and gainey mao can already have a players out there but moments who could perhaps become as good as one of these three players which i mentioned last years. we do have some talented young players the most important thing is that they want to become stars and if they are prepared to put in the necessary work in order to achieve this they've got everything at their feet in order to reach the same sort of level of the three players you've mentioned everything is in their hands a star is only born when a player is ready to become a star on a summer that will get them ok shells now in its first season is just the toughest year of competition in your opinion at the it's a very interesting season as i'd say the gap between the clubs is closing i think this shows that the league is growing in stature and the teams in the cage are
6:51 am
developing and it's getting tougher and tougher to win the going cup figure ever so much for your time. now let's turn to the football where manchin ited states top of the english premier league after to know when i was sunderland berbatov scoring twice at old trafford to ensure they stay two points to a revival of manchester city. twice for them as they beat new castle three one changes part of spurs a fit after a two one win over villa despite having to face off in the first half with both goals for tottenham boss meanwhile the top of the table after they lost to wigan and west ham they've fallen away i still got it here when they're at blackburn involved and got the better of west brom a couple of games were suspended because of the weather evidence game against them in this called off as black hole vs liverpool. win by united puts the pressure on arsenal to get a result against chelsea on monday at the emirates the gunners are five points off the top and have had poor results against their rivals recently but are itching to beat the blues to the first time since two thousand the night we have mixed
6:52 am
feelings because we came out of both games against. man united but it was possible and. it was not the difference between the teams and so we have a good opportunity to show that in the coming months and to show as well and i believe our room for improvement is bigger than any of the team because we are very young side and so it's whole room will respond to what happened to us. man united. chelsea meanwhile are trying to get back to winning ways they've drawn the last three games in a slip to fourth spot but a happy to have the chance to put things right is important game because. both team are involved in the fight for the title really one would think the
6:53 am
team can remain this game will be excited game my things in this period. but i am happy to play this game because between will. we move on after the moment we are able to come back to play a world full blown and to try to do everything to him in russia welcome back to moscow have started their pre-season early this year with new coach who are recursion ajahn saying reinforcements are needed for their next campaign he replaces you're a shim and he sank to the end of the season after guiding the railway men to fifth spot and the europa league place class in asia and took spot it now takes the sixth place in the same season and has been casting is i over his new squad most of the foreign stars including first choice striking to me so i was absent a cousin of john has made it clear he wants to bring in some new faces. but without question the team needs some way enforcements you can come from the
6:54 am
outside as well as from the inside and the internal structure is the main thing we're focused on right now as well as getting players physically ready for the training camp now the news for my stars of synchronised swimming or putting on a christmas show in moscow the before means was produced by three time olympic champion maria castello over he now hopes it could reach a global audience let me spit back took his seat at the pool side. there will be a few seats now so over the next two weeks and they're in piskies swimming pools in the sky maybe the steam has created a unique show you chain reaction to what we see in the swimmers but diverse and. he should know what his tried several do creations after short term and six years ago but says she is no happy with this show but i was ready to learn if the kids love their own performance then we're happy if we manage to keep their attention throughout the show and they love this place delightful then we've achieved some
