i'm positive like. the points pushers and i would print certain peaceful individual in touch with sufficiently to let you build the future a good how would international flood achieve every green leafy chill. as washington mutual ships and troops claims this in libya there's growing concern the u.s. how do you play needed military intervention in the country. absolutely how all he always revolts run their course in the middle east and north africa has spin doctors being recruited to wash away the blogs. as america's top diplomat hillary clinton campaigns are dissolved or missing america's news in the media war we look at how the u.s. is currently spending the cash for most of washington's message. and to business

the world's largest island medium producer roussel has rejected neurochemicals offer to buy out twenty percent of its shares saying it wouldn't be in the best interests of its shareholders more entrenched minute's time. very warm welcomes and this is a line from moscow there's increasing speculation the u.s. and u.k. could intervene in libya with the use of force president obama said he's keeping all options open and is ready to act if the crisis deepens washington has already increased its presence in the region as the as more on the situation. the u.s. has already seen washed up that has reached the mediterranean and are making their way towards libya we're hearing that four hundred u.s. soldiers are in the mediterranean right now ready to board these warships at the

same time the british prime minister david cameron of course but in no fly zone there were many there in the international community who are against this including the arab league as well as russia they say that it creates an area where you have to have some kind of short term solution being put on the table but no long term prognosis in terms of how this will play out we are hearing the same from locals here they are against any kind of international intervention with opposition leaders saying as much they say that it will spread the conflict it will undermine the democratic movement and at the same time we're hearing that a no fly zone who will involve military attacks on libya's air defenses now this was done in other countries such as iraq and there it proved that it is unlikely to halt the regime's helicopter and ground operations of anything it runs the risk of expanding the violence here as gadhafi will then have the justification he needs to

merely stick cut is fighting and his campaign is against people who oppose him he was renewed fighting between government troops loyal to leader moammar gadhafi as well as opposition forces according to residents and eyewitness reports they were new airstrikes in the town of brega the town was briefly taken over by government forces before what we hear it is for me back in the hands of rebels it is no mean two weeks of violence and one hundred duffy is losing control of the eastern half of his country but he has vowed to stay in power and continue fighting. well washington's also not ruling out the idea of a stamp machine and may fly zone over libya which has been proposed by its nato allies the u.k. just recently the pentagon said such and we could be an act of war as it requires the bombing of libya's air defenses this hegemon from the stop the war coalition since the country is considering intervention in libya should learn from their previous mistakes and stay away from the region i think the international community

should actually keep well away from what is going on in the middle east the people of the region in chile is here in egypt in bahrain and all these places have shown with great courage exactly how you do get rid of dictators and they have to be allowed to do this in libya but the international community after all of the people who backed hosni mubarak right so were very people who sold. arms and weapons which is now using against his own people and it's simply a fact that you cannot trust them to intervene we've already seen in iraq we've already seen in afghanistan the terrible mess that the americans and the british have made and they really should not be even thinking about trying to intervene in any way here but when it comes to revamping a damaged image is the weapon of mass destruction whether it's a bloody dictator or

a shady business and they will turn to certain companies to help polish away their silent reputations as artists or emmet reports there's no such thing as dirty money . the influence of p.r. companies in distorting the truth is well known in hollywood movie wag the dog a p.r. agent engine is a war to distract from the president's philandering. to shoot the world it's a passion. and sometimes truth is stranger and much more damaging than fiction spin has been crucial in middle eastern politics for many many years i mean spin is what took britain into the iraq war for example . headlines about weapons of mass destruction and in forty five minutes p.r. industry experts reckon the majority of the arab states in turmoil bahrain egypt libya have some kind of representation in a london p.r. and the reason they come here and lack of regulation while in the us if a p.r.

company takes on a foreign government it has to register the fact with the department of justice in the u.k. there is no such rule but if you are a foreign government looking for representation in london. then bellhop to be in the building behind me although very cagey about who its clients are is believed to represent the level of bahrain deliveries and exiled russian tycoon bodies but it's going to be the fact it's also been writing to do this in recent days on behalf of the member of the libyan oil family and it's all based certainly representing government elsewhere in the region bellport injured declined to give us an interview for this story but they've assured r.t. in the past that p.r. can influence questionable regimes for the better a country frequently will modify. its actions and its policies.

but that doesn't always happen libya for one has used london's p.r. machine before with misleading results in one thousand nine hundred five u.k. based. our agency was paid four million pounds to try and subvert the evidence that pointed towards libyan involvement in the case and this is what has led to all sorts of alternative theories about lockerbie although of course the lives instead point to the fact that our macgraw and female were actually responsible so you know how to play by these rules they know how to play the game and it's transparency that's lacking in u.k. p.r. information appears in the media but people have no idea who put it there and the only way that one can be really sure about all the information that will be bombarded with on a daily basis is where does it come from and is that person partial or impartial and in that way we get a much clearer idea of what it is that we're being told although there is a new body in the u.k. designed to regulate the p.r. industry declaring clients is still voluntary london's soho is the heart of the

p.r. industry in the capital where images of burnished and the unpalatable becomes palatable london's top p.r. firms are known to be working on declared to some of the world's most unpopular regimes but their expertise could be being used to shape the future political landscape of a vulnerable region nor am its hearty london. you're with still to come in the program preparing for an out of this world judging. the next guys says crew is undergoing final examinations in preparation for their flight to the international space station on the fiftieth anniversary of the first manned flight into space for details just ahead. we zero away three hundred kilometers north of moscow to show you how a lot of russians all this tells us keeping up with the twenty first century.

america is losing the war of words to new players being one of the new u.s. top diplomat hillary clinton has lamented that foreign english language media is putting homegrown news networks to shame she's asked congress for more cash range america's agenda toward assays cain who investigates and money is actually going. since one thousand nine hundred forty two the us has broadcasted its culture and politics around the world. how to hide the ball great. washington transmitting in over fifty languages to the tune of seven hundred forty five point five million dollars per year but what happens when people just start tuning out more and more u.s. funded media outlets designed to promote america's image abroad are channels in search of an audience but taxpayers are still footing the bill and.

america has sunk one billion dollars into al huda an arabic language news network author and professor phil see it says the network's model is stuck in the past when american news was welcomed by some competition in. the arab world. zero zero. zero. that there really is an audience outside of their work. fifty three percent watch al-jazeera while only half a percent of arab viewers watch al queda which is broadcast from suburban springfield virginia and its credibility. arab audience for the most or wants to hear about themselves from other arab critics say that from day one there was a major disconnect executives who didn't speak arabic staffing the network with lebanese christians to broadcast to it overwhelmingly muslim audience. and it audience that associates the channel with the u.s.

the architects of the iraq war soon a new television service will begin providing reliable news and information across the region and supporter of unpopular and repressive regimes throughout the middle east but even now what has small viewership is a lofty goal for another u.s. network kevin martin we're going to. be watching some of these of the photos. for twenty six years raw and getting mighty have fallen on deaf ears in cuba says cuban journalist alone so champ. it's hard to talk about the impact of radio and t.v. marti because on television it's not seen and on the radio it's practically unheard and on top of that in cuba the signal is jammed congressional reports point out the miami beach channel's quote failure over many years to adhere to the generally accepted journalistic standards of all american what i'm talking about a radio show that tells people to go into cuban leaders from the point of view of journalistic ethics it's very troubling that he may have had a fifteen million dollar budget in two thousand and eight to pay cuban dissidents

on the island as its reporters and rent fuel in flight to go upstream planes that circled violent to broadcast t.v. marti and the u.s. isn't just paying for news u.s. state department dollars also finance eagle four and afghan police drama former marine jake delivered says shows like this send a subconscious message to support the military support the police force in this sort of thing and in many ways it does on a broad scale what twenty four did here in the united states ten years into the u.s. war in afghanistan a deliberate though says forty five percent of the media is run by rupert murdoch's news corp. creators of twenty four a series designed to drum up support for the war on terror in the u.s. twenty four was also created to support the doctrine of torture much of much of eagle force propaganda instead of afghanistan's trying to make trying to say that

confronting insurgents and confronting terrorists and what it is is a good thing and afghans who support what's on screen in afghanistan contrast with the reality off screen with little sign of afghan support with a staggering one point four trillion dollar deficit at home and propose cuts in everything from medicaid to education so merican they're saying that the u.s. should switch out of international broadcasting and let the rest of the world watch what they would be watching anyway kalen ford r.t. washington d.c. . u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton is raising the alarm and finding as time when republicans can't have. the media professor the team down and. facts or who are seen as american news outlets for the words and. the corporatization don't mess to clean up american has basically thrown out the whole need for news gathering and real reporting in exchange for punditry and

entertainment and sensationalism because that spin to deliver the demographics to the guys who pay for the commercials what's happening is we've opened up these huge gaps because we're more concerned with reality t.v. and people arguing and people attacking the president than we are with having people on the ground finding out what the problem the problems are and when you do that you can produce a product that people here and around the world are going to respect the amount of money we're talking about she could literally set up an entire. voice for america on steroids a real state run news network she's not that's not what's going to happen they're going to try to go into these countries and probably try to find news basically to be a true propaganda arm rather than a news gathering and reporting outlet which is what our t.v. al-jazeera and the chinese network are going to be yes they're going to have their messages but they're real news networks they are pretty much where c.b.s. a.b.c.
