into the plane crash that killed the country's president except the majority of the blame for the tragedy which found pilot error causes but described ford is incomplete. and washington american n.g.o.s stand accused of supporting both governments and opposition movements worldwide in an attempt to hijack democracy. watching r.t. live from moscow i'm marina joshie welcome to the program russian lawmakers have reopened debate on a key arms control deal with the us a new strategic arms reduction treaty or start has already been ratified by the u.s. senate and all it needs now is the green light from moscow. has more. because the people behind the think that it was going to give one to the world's biggest

nuclear power is significant to me. at least if they're. there to do it maybe it was by nearly the souls of very important step for their relations between russia and the night they need a significant warm up in their relations but this last year one of the seats was starting to believe this tendency was teaming with their education of the fiji coast that's applying the new start treaty changes and the united states are giving an example to other nuclear powers powers in the world to join them and have the words in nuclear free. but if she was signed back in april with the statement at. the ready to read by immediately bought the united states senate doesn't that seem now to miss in their decision barack obama's opposition. to see their pictures of the streets by trying to amend it they believe to do so they include eleven pages

worth of remarks and visions detained by the state duma deputies are leading to mark. ballas them in their. seats he was accepted by the states it was a piece in the first meeting state they are proceeding with their second meeting the last one the third meeting will take place on the twenty fifth there's several things to be concerned the one to make sure the should come out to the streets in case the united states violates any terms of the treaty oh so there will be. dozens of people are. going to be concerned with nato splats do you deploy it sometimes so defense shield and you also adept these boats. sure that that's occurring this receipt but not decreasing the funky defensive capabilities

that president barack obama has promised why would he do you see the number of nuclear warheads what he might do upgrades the meeting once a. month he's president to make the same promise to them now that was he to give us that before will take place on the twenty fifth of january and hopefully shortly after that we will see the rest patient. but i know a girl reporting there the stories poland has acknowledged its responsibility for april's plane crash in southeast russia which killed president lech kaczynski and most of country's political elite however a war so will carry out its own investigation into the causes of the accident after it described the intrastate ideation committee report as incomplete how the report published in moscow concluded a pilot error of bad weather and pressure to land from passengers were a man on the main causes of the tragedy poland claims russian air traffic

controllers should have banned the plane from landing in moscow says under the existing regulations it's up to the captain taken depending decision concerning takeoff and touchdown mission security expert chris kate sas an investigation was thorough and carried out by standard. there is nothing more to be said quite frankly i think they. the committee that did this investigation has to make sense to read job. they they found what they found which is that the primary blame should be telling the truth and the protocol from what. you know there is more important law in the transcript of the conversations between pilots ground during the. final approach crossed into the airport. that is there is new condition

for landing samples and quite frankly with that sort of information being given to the pilots the pilot should then made the judgment to follow traffic instruction and transfer to another ports nearby where better visibility better conditions for landing might well have persisted. and one polish m.p. believes the tensions over the report my doubts once relations with russia as political politicians could use the tragedy to score points in upcoming elections. the political temperature in poland is called for many reasons because of the social economic situation and first of all we are approaching the parliamentary elections i am a fret frankly speaking very all this could firstly made. this debate ahead of the election more court and could be the

main one of the most important bones of. contention between the major political forces and secondly that this could. negatively. impact on the polish russian relations i'd like not to be a prophet. but such a danger can exist. still have the sour case closed find out how critics are slamming the u.s. for going out against an attack or it's the spot of being against the law. and russia is among the world's twenty five least free nations while the u.s. gets a perfect score the washington backed watch dock freedom house as the level of liberty around the world has a client for a fifth consecutive year with moscow listed as an authoritarian regime but why american author says as long as the u.s. is seen as a standard bearer for 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 as 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 meant of organizations like

community groups like acorn and potentially of people like bradley manning and potentially of wiki leaks for no crime at all. and 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 of both sides of the political divide but as for it has been finding out very early 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 the us 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 and they have for quite a long time. 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's southern command to write similar reports on what it calls strategic culture but critics like 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 her prevent any sort of you know what we really can see is in many cases democratic manifestations. 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 and he also founded and finance the electoral monitoring group the egyptian democratic academy. and it's two story cairo office the group then recruited formerly militant activists like the two. before so we're going to totally believe the worst and democracy it's an international issue 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 five the understand the american approach to very clear american everybody supporting to the 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

while a network of u.s. government funded n.g.o.s actively pushes to finance the opposition movement. lawyer and there's no oppose the two thousand and nine military coup that ousted honduran says democratically elected president he sees the current government as an extension of the coup and what he calls master organizations as trying to portray hunt duras today as democratic they will get to him. marcus they want to 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 honduras and egypt the money is hardly without strings attached. many of these u.s. government funded n.g.o.s and focus on 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 movements lose out at the cost to real human rights change around the world in florida are washington d.c. . and spain has put forward a proposal to change the regime which could make it easier for russians to travel in and around europe it would mean a single would be given first outpatient a two year a multiple entry the second a five year lease on the third and all this come under of the recent regime which covers much of continental europe and return moscow says it is ready to widen the

he's being threatened don't talk to journalists or will send you back but afghan authorities say they've had enough of american intimidation. or new government in the doctrine of the constitution six years ago it was acceptable that american troops would soon afghans to want tournaments 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 face between two countries about the legal system it's very difficult for me to see that there is a meeting between the american legal system and the afghan legal system and why should they be argues the 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 pect exists between afghanistan and the united states. the american in aircon courts are different you know afghans are most ones who are 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. superior 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 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. and check out our t. dot com for more on the stories we're covering as well as blogs and videos from our contributors a quick look at what's online right now. i proposed ban on sex ads on the back pages of spanish newspaper a spark there brad debate but how will it affect the world's oldest profession. and she's inspired a youtube song that attracted nearly one hundred eighty thousand facebook fans mean they are like oh yes of stars heidi cross-eyed apostle.
