with max concert for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines kaiser report. downloads the official placation. touch from the top story. on the. video. costs and feeds with the palm of your. question on the. military nine hundred sixty six because of the things i saw other things i was doing and this is the reason we were given for doing it was a personal protest. during the vietnam war an antiwar movement emerged that altered the course of history this movement didn't take place on college campuses but in berets and on ships penetrated the military colleges like west point and it spread

throughout the battlefields of vietnam. today few people know about the g.i. movement against the war in vietnam. after the army will we set free the army or fun travel and adventure but it really meant to be harmed. russian lawmakers preparatory open debate on a landmark nuclear arms reduction treaty with washington a long awaited deal is now on the verge of getting the green light. and the state duma deputies promised to rectify the treaty before the end of the month join us for the details later in the program. poland says it will launch its own probe

into the plane crash that killed the country's president isn't satisfied with the conclusions that official report that found pilot error was mostly to blame for the tragedy of. washington an american n.g.o.s stand accused of supporting both governments and opposition movements worldwide and that tam to hijack democracy. it is a day out of the russian capital you're watching r t was marina josh welcome to the program and russian lawmakers are getting together on friday to reopen debate on a key arms reduction key arms control deal with the u.s. the new strategic arms reduction treaty or start has already been ratified by the u.s. senate and all it needs now is a green light from moscow well you know cross correspond the tell you that tells

for us more so remind us why this treaty so significant and why it's considered so important for russia or u.s. relations. well this is the biggest treaty of it's going signed in the past twenty years when to the world's biggest nuclear powers will be reducing their strategic nuclear arms by a third and delivery vehicles by nearly half and this is a case when the two countries will be giving an example to other nuclear powers to follow their example of course this is also a very important step for their relations. between the washer and the united states as we have seen. significant warm up in the relations back in two thousand and ten and hopefully if this is tepid you will continue with the ratification of this treaty this year. helen treaty was signed by the madrid bid of on barack obama last april as we know so why is it taking so long to ratify it. all the most those state

duma deputies is that next step that they were ready to rectify the treaty back in summer after it was signed in april so they were almost immediately ready to ratify it whether. in the united states the senate sir was not that's unanimous in their decision because the barack obama's opposition was trying to sink the whole idea of rectifying to the street and then try to change the g.g. they did manage to do so but they added a lot of amendments eleven pages worth of amendments to the treaty that are now being read out of the state duma and now the state duma has to respond to those amendments before ratify the treaty. of this point is there anything that perhaps russian lawmakers are most concerned about and really stick with speaking when can we expect start to finally come into force. will there are several things actually

that the deputies are concerned with first of all they're wondering how could russia pull out of the treaty if the united states reaches a given begins to increase its nuclear arsenal despite the c.t.o. see the relation of course the relation between defensive and offensive nuclear weapons is also very important in and that's in that respect respect. anti-missile defense shield in europe comes out as a concern for the russian deputies out into the ocean hopes to be a part of that. anti-missile defense shield and you also president barack obama. because even though the nuclear warheads in the united states will be cots the remaining nuclear warheads will be modernized deputies once the country's president to make a similar promise to them but. first reading at the state duma that she was accepted this is the second reading taking place today and. that.

will take place on the twenty fifth of january and hopefully it will be rectified. and after that mutual inspections will begin hopefully after that we will finally see a reduction of nuclear warheads. thanks very much indeed for bringing us the very latest on the cover there. and poland will carry out its own investigation into april's plane crash which killed the polish president and most of country's political elite warsaw express anger over the official findings of the interstate aviation committee and to the causes of the fatal accident in southeast russia. the report concluded pilot error bad weather and pressure to land from passengers were among the main causes of the tragedy poland claims russian air traffic controller should have banned the plane from landing have used security expert chris kate says

investigation was for and carried out a high standard. there is nothing more to be said quite frankly i think the. best to go. they found. that the primary blame should be. true. but you know there is more important in the transcript of the conversation between pilots. during the. final approach to the aircraft into the airport. there is a new condition for this airport and quite frankly with that sort of information being given to the point that the pilot should then made the judgment to follow traffic instruction transferred to another airport nearby where better visibility

better conditions might well have persisted. watching r t live from moscow still have a sour taste close to find out how critics are slamming the u.s. for trying afghans in american courts aspire to being gassed a lot. and russia is among the world's twenty five least free nations while the us gets a perfect score the washington backed watchdog freedom house says the level of liberty around the world has declined for a fifth consecutive year with moscow listed as an authoritarian regime but one american author says as long as the u.s. is seen as a standard bearer of freedom the findings will lack credibility. well anybody gets to say anything we don't have to take it seriously i think such a report can be of some value but it is heavily biased in appearance because most of the funding is from the government of one country which school is

a perfect score has as do many others it's a very simplistic account you're free or you're partly free or you're not free it's hard with such a simplistic report to make sense of the scores that some countries get to including russia and it overlooks the policies of the countries that are getting perfect scores it clearly has a very low standard for perfection rule of law comes into play in the analysis of many countries in the united states we now have the president able to announce the policy of assassinating us citizens and anybody else by the way we have the absolute lack of the rule of law for those in power they can go on book tours writing about their crimes and we have one issue that of organizations like community groups like acorn and potentially of people like bradley manning and potentially of wiki leaks for no crime at all. now u.s. funded n.g.o.s seeking to promote democracy around the world have come up with

a unique policy give money to organizations on both sides of the political divide but as artist callen ford has been finding out it rarely works as planned. when it comes to u.s. foreign policy in the developing world backing one side apparently isn't enough from the middle east to latin america to eastern europe and the u.s. government has made it a policy to fund the regime and the opposition and when it publicly can't it turns to a network of government funded n.g.o.s for help i think the strategies of funding the right wing but also funding the resistance movements in order to co-opt them go hand in hand they have for quite a long time and one of them on the rebuilding following the cuban revolution the kennedy administration funneled money into project camelot. a controversial research project to write counterinsurgency manuals and people's revolutionary movements in latin america in order to co-opt them. the endeavor was abandoned after students in chile found out about it shortly before the nine hundred seventy

three chilean coup. recently florida international university teamed up with the u.s. military southern command to write similar reports on what it calls strategic culture but critics like in their politics adrian pine say south com is returning to camelot they're trying to figure out how to manipulate the different populations based on different cultural elements to prevent rebellions for prevent any sort of you know what we really can see is in many cases democratic manifestations of. democratic opposition to the u.s. backed mubarak regime in egypt is actively courted by u.s. funded n.g.o.s like freedom house the international republican institute and the national endowment for democracy any d. also founded and financed the electoral monitoring group the egyptian democratic academy and its two storey cairo office the group then recruited formerly militant

activists. to. the motor city is before sobering to totally believe the worst of the war. on international issues on domestic issues. but the obama administration spends twenty million dollars annually on what it calls democracy promotion and good governance programs in egypt and sixty five times that amount and impressive one point three billion dollars in military aid fathi understand the american approach to very clear. to everybody. or some more things are going to strangers and supporting the war. the us continues to send millions of dollars in aid and military assistance to the government in honduras. well a network of u.s. government funded n.g.o.s actively pushes to finance the opposition movement. lawyer and there's no opposed the two thousand and nine military coup that ousted

honduran democratically elected president he sees the current government as an extension of the coup and what he calls master organizations as trying to portray hunters today as democratic then we're going to. see want a president is elected by only twenty five percent of the voters in the country seventy five percent of the population is part of the popular resistance there are more than five hundred thousand people in the streets and protest pine says that while working as a professor at the american university in cairo freedom house tried to co-opt her students in a bid to silence them on certain issues like egyptian complicity in human rights violations in gaza once people accept this money they accept the conditions that go along with them and those conditions force them to stop talking about the political the underlying political causes of the violations. but while grant's of a thousand dollars can go a long way in poor countries like egypt the money is hardly without strings attached and many of these u.s. government funded and find financing human rights work around the world without

ever recognizing the underlying political military and economic causes for human rights violations many of the result of america pursuing its own interests abroad but when these organizations pay big popular movement lose out at the cost of a real human rights change around the world in port arthur washington d.c. . and look at some other stories from around the world and rescuers are being joined by victims relatives in the mass search for survivors in remote areas of southeastern brazil ravaged by floods and landslides mountain villages have been badly hit by heavy rains which have already claimed over five hundred lives thousands have been left homeless in the disaster which is the worst ever experienced by the country officials say the number of dead is a. ekta to rise. the un says a number of its goals been attacked in the ivory coast main city of abidjan by supporters of the country's incumbent president laurent gbagbo is refusing to cede

power to his rival following november's disputed elections despite international condemnation last month he instructed all foreign peacekeepers to leave the country nor the order saying he doesn't have the authority to make such decisions. antony's just opposition has welcomed president ben ali's decision to step down when he's term ends in two thousand and fourteen after a quarter of a century in office the president's pledge came in response to weeks of unrest over high unemployment and food and fuel prices human rights groups estimate at least sixty people have died in the widespread violence in his televised address the president also said he was ordering police to stop using live ammunition against protesters. by watching r t live from moscow in a little later in the program we reported the buried remains of priest organ animals and how they are being put to use and russia's far east. to hold the giant woolly mammoth. coming up from scientific discovery to artistic symbol of culture

we'll talk all about. afghan citizens snatched from their home country shipped to america and locked up on charges of terrorism are now finding themselves standing trial in u.s. courts only with no official extradition treaty in place it could be america that's breaking international law post reports. he's the hero of the streets of kabul and also the symbol of american injustice mohammad jawad was only twelve when he was captured and locked inside guantanamo or seven years later he was found innocent and freed but the damage had been done here at half in society. he cannot talk with. anybody you want to sleep in a room all the time. you want to be along karim was one

of the few journalists to speak with jawad but now jawad lawyers say he's being threatened don't talk to journalists or we'll send you back but afghan authorities say they have had enough of american intimidation more than a new government in the dogshit of the constitution six years ago it was acceptable that american troops would soon afghans to guantanamo but to date no wait but according to the law it should have always been no way because there's never been an extradition treaty between afghanistan and the states not then and not now the basic thing when we speak about extradition is that there is a faith between two countries about the legal system it's very difficult for me to see that there is meeting between the american legal system with the afghan legal system and why should they be argues a recon when the afghan justice system is so corrupt the new constitution was adopted in general two thousand and four and while it allows kabul to enter into

extradition treaties with other countries until today no such pact exists between afghanistan and the united states. the miracle in courts are different you know also afghans or most ones who were in support afghans being tried and prosecuted by the united states. the implications are far reaching i guess afghanistan would be an easier country for someone who has committed a crime or committed a crime that the united states wants to prosecute them for. to preen without fear of being brought back to the united states for that issue but afghans argue justice is still being served. during the last nine years we've had many cases with the united states where they ask for people and we agree we've sent back many afghans accused of drug smuggling to face charges in the states. since two thousand and one there were new crimes in afghanistan drugs and terrorism to counter these kinds of

problems the afghan government needed and wanted to cooperate with the international community but will that need and want to translate into action every time because for as long as no extradition treaty exists they really can be no guarantee of justice between both countries. kabul. well check out our t. dot com for more on the stories we're covering as well as blogs and videos from our contributors and a quick look at what's online right now. shot by a quarry a man umbrella group claims he was wounded by a fox he was hunting but local police say they are somewhat skeptical. and if you feel like you need to get away from the big city then you might fancy a move to the make believe town of cardboard you work everything's made off well you guessed it cardboard.

the ivory trade but the people of you have found a loophole of sorts leading them to say mammoth ivory is perfectly acceptable. mammoth task is fossil which cannot be restored or have been dead for ten thousand years most of the fossils are in northern regions that's where the material is delivered from as far as we know a lot of these fossils are dug up but we are the only ones doing it legally because it is so scarce each year large expeditions are sent up north when there is a break in the weather to search for newly exposed tusks. during small beaches surface and that's where we dig and this is hold labor you have to work with a shovel and take x. you can't always tell a task from a tree you think it's a tree but then you know that it was special stick and realize that it's a task the biggest. killers but they can be as big as one hundred and twenty or even one hundred and thirty kilos. did indeed roam the entire planet but ninety

percent of the artifacts have been found right here and that's because of the extreme weather conditions found here allowing scientists to find their bodies largely intact. i took part in almost all the recent excavation project so i was the project leader my first big expedition was to the trans polar reaches of the river. we excavated and almost tears in. man with the leg and a body of a wolverine when you digging and suddenly see some flash or hair you get very excited if you found a huge big mammoth in some instances the giant animals are preserved so well the meat itself is still edible of course. so a mammoth meat preserves its taste back in one thousand nine hundred seventy when we dug out of memphis leg we gave some pieces to dogs and they ate them of course both the taste and smell of the man must meet a quite foul and it's not advisable to eat it but there are some people who claim

they ate it and they're even pitches in some newspapers. so you shouldn't expect to find mammoth meat on a menu any time soon the wildly popular giant animal is still contributing to the akutan society today from artistic creation to scientific research on the legend of the mammoth who lives on in your coots sean thomas our t.v. . and on the way here in our team back in the u.s.s.r. find out where to enjoy the best of stories saw good times and modern day moscow. this next location will bring up the whole of as it is the museum of soviet arcade games and there are dozens of red term a c. in c. f. about six space invaders. they range from nine hundred sixty five all the way to ninety ninety one and best of all is that they're all in working order just the nicest thing to pack he's in the say here at this museum provides.
