welcome back here with r.t. here's a look at the top stories i'm afros egypt a c three billion dollar bailout bone but it's fear it will only line the pockets of the former president's proteges who continues to run the country some observers suspect the west is trying to bribe the big shots and fire over and retain an influence over egypt. america's unemployment rates risen back over nine percent leaving college graduates learning some hard lessons about why despite investing thousands of dollars in their own education

just one of five students will find world. plus an international crew of three is preparing to blast off from tulsa stout in a few hours and the man behind the mission are in high spirits a russian an american and a japanese astronaut spent half a year on the space station. america's on iran as a worrying echo of what happened over iraq in the view of pulitzer winning writer seymour hersh has been telling our t.v. that washington's ignoring its own intelligence because it's hell bent on finding nuclear weapons that just don't exist. pulitzer prize winner and legendary american investigative journalist seymour hersh is best known for exposing the my lai massacre in vietnam since then his investigations have continued to shake up washington from uncovering torture at alba grog to exposing secret u.s. military operations overseas to his latest piece which pokes holes in the commonly

held the starvation here in washington that iran is developing a nuclear weapons program mr hurst sits down with r.t. to discuss his latest story in the new yorker magazine where he says the obama administration allowing fear and not facts dictate a potentially disastrous foreign policy towards a wrong mr hurst thank you so much for sitting down with us based on your investigation is the united states wrong to assume the worst when it comes to iran if the fear is based on the notion that you know that he has the bomb or is going to get a bomb soon that's ridiculous because every bit of evidence of it from their own intelligence community. the people who talk of the government no there's no weapons there we've known that for years we've been looking for years after years of years we support of sanctions program that's designed to stop the punishment is it's aimed at stopping the arrhenius from doing something you know we know they're not

doing to me and as i wrote the article the analogy between what they're doing what obama's doing with iran is very close to what bush and dick cheney the vice president then did to iraq as they came out of the punish they wanted to make a case against iraq they didn't like the politics. and so we made a case about nuclear weapons we were talking about mushroom clouds making a case to go to war i don't i'm not suggesting these guys want to go to war i mean there are elements in america so many elements in israel that would love to see us attack iran but that would be suicidal and. there's no actual evidence of the iranians developing a nuclear weapons program but why why do the fear mongering and the rhetoric whether it's the administration or the mainstream media there's no evidence at all of weaponization there's no evidence anywhere i went you go to london you go to you go to you go to the french you go the germans they all say the same thing we thought we still think they might want to go but we we don't have anything it should be open and shut we should move on but we're not instead what you're seeing

is the mom mowing me and what i wrote and they're ignoring it to a point that there's always a group that doesn't ignore stuff but the mainstream press basically they have their narrative and they don't want to change and they're that i've been writing about the secret operations we've had inside iran in the new yorker for about five years because they started in radio four maybe zero five vice president cheney was convinced it was a secret facility somewhere underground in iran and so our special forces units were going in and we went into herat and in afghanistan we went into baluchistan. in pakistan we've been going into iran covertly with money and chemicals and support chemicals i mean by plastic explosive materials we've been dealing with these and yellow we've been dealing with the iranian kurds is the resisting groups inside iran with the goal of trying to trying to find. neutralizing their what

their weapons program and finding their secret program we found nada nothing and now it is going to internal what i wrote about in the magazine is that in two major internal studies that's known as national intelligence estimates so it is the most secular saint documents we have in our government in terms of an assessment and they've both said nothing there what the obama administration disagrees with. i mean big deal i mean you know. i'm doing my job when when when the white house is mad at me i could care less and by the way. from my point of view these guys are no more the more then the. more straighter with us than the bush white house was and that's a shocking thing to say with there they're pretty much the same why is the main stream media not reporting to us i get a lot of stuff from colleagues around the world were more open than the american press is through its criticism of america but i have somebody one of the guys from the boston globe guy. who just said something nice to me i said well why don't you write about it if it's you know pick you don't have to write my story to pick up on

it he said well we're not going to give two thousand words to the new yorker. so you do talk about there is now a sense with with the internet and everybody competing for the fewer and fewer dollars that are out there is a sense of. economic competitiveness too but that's only part of what the real issue is the underlying meaning the is the white house controls things in a way that they always do and this white house is just as interested in controlling things from when somebody like me comes out you just kick me around and so on and it's easy to do because everybody is very even if what you don't get now is you get perfectly professional stories representing the view of the ministration but they're marketing anybody on the inside is telling them a different story and so we're stuck we're stuck with the major newspapers reporting pretty much what the administration wants and so when somebody like me goes up against them. it's the same story that happened this story it's happened every story i've done since nine eleven really a good one. right so why is it you cannot with

a piece that says iran is not the threat it's made out to be and you're suddenly considered a heretic it's not about me it's one with the mission as i said they have a narrative and the narrative is iran is bad they're making bombs even if we can't find it we know it must be they're evil people and so what's the consequence for the american public if they're not aware that most american public is right there with twenty four hour cable more interested you know the latest stupid thing some congress i did with. the internet which is chronic and goes all the time has the united states taken the right course in responding to the so-called arab spring you know we have such a we've you have you think you are american prism everything and it's to learn that you know for me to believe that the sun revolved around us and we didn't remember about anyway. look if you're an iranian going to middle east and you know what's going on in the world rain and you see the white house. iran.

and criticize the run at the same time everybody in iran and everybody in the middle east is watching what's going on and more rain and we think nothing how do we think it effects going to be a park or see there's no love for us a bit and not my gulf anymore because we certainly betrayed the trust. in the streets of egypt when obama finally came in support of him there was there was. you know they were done with us they wanted him so bored early and so. we missed the boat on that those movements were probably the best tools we've had certainly better than the use of force that we've been using. and all that stuff for the you know the renditions and yet you know we've knocked that up so it's it's it's a true mess this is ministration it's focused on iran as a source of all evil and iran is hoping it's helping the syrians mccardell right to

do what it does in syria and see if the sunni what syria needs any help from anybody to get tough they know how to do it but president obama was elected because he was supposed to represent change response to chart this country down a different course than the bush administration told c'mon c'mon don't get through with me. through the election you're going to be reelected the only hope a lot of us have is that in the second term you such a break i had a second term he'll be anybody who becomes a link and we thought he might be but he's got he's got he's got it you know he's got a real action. you could argue that he knows that getting some of that is great but he's going to be reelected and the price of oil and jobs and when the oil for the economy stating becomes he's thinking right now because we're being we're paying for it after i was sort of oil for gasoline a gallon and so what's his big issue is big issue is he's got to convince the saudis that it's going to make nice that look the other way is the people around the middle east and spend their money because he wants to meet girls more

a day of oil is well more important than democracy for president obama welcome guys . what do you think what's your assessment of the obama administration's handling of the afghanistan war ghastly ghastly the double minus i mean i know everybody you know i'm talking even the most committed hawk with the exception of general petraeus and other people have to see what they have to say i know nobody who thinks we have any future in afghanistan the faster we get out of there i was talking to somebody the other day. a very conservative very pro war person saying i just thought of another american life that we see in terms of america being here afghans. are crazy no more it's not worth it not worth one more life and what's going on there is ghastly just ghastly it's out of control and those are good leaderships forward when you have a bunch of boys running around in fear of death from

a landmine although iraq of course is still unraveling all rough because as we talk day by day we're actually to be probably obama's biggest problem next year and it's going to be a very tough call about whether he stays or goes with the troops i feel if he keeps troops there he's got my car beside her and those three more extreme shia going after i think it's going to be reported on the vietnam war even further and conflicts throughout the years throughout the decades what happened to the learning curve. and i think america. what if there is no learning curve we don't learn from the past mistakes we haven't you know spent your life exposing us but i'm also realistic there are better instead. that we could go into another country which we knew very little with no language and think we could change a society. going into it we think we could do that i mean was there a learning you know what could we learn what do we learn from vietnam we went in the good eight or we could even win that one very well you know that was sort of

silly so when. there was an improvement in the press i think when ronald reagan went into nicaragua salvadorian it was more criticism so i thought maybe we'd learn something from vietnam but i think that the last ten years or so of the nine eleven . part of it was the american want to pay back we were scared but. the reason we you know i would argue that the american press totally failed after nine eleven we became george was bush's cheerleader and its partner and sort of looking critically at things and that's happening now to mr hurst thank you so much for your time. in one thousand nine hundred two dr ralph ben straight university of pennsylvania said what if i can take the gene responsible for growth in human beings and put it

into a mouse. gone all the main risk issues what's next if there is a ninety five percent of all competent scientists in these fields are verkin for the produce aside and only five percent are read genuinely independent. there's not a lot of science that says train genic fish is unhealthy for people to consume which is what the food and drug administration looks out there's a lot of concern about the environmental impacts if the transgenic fish escapes what kind of horrible impact will it have on the rest of the fish population i don't know what this might do to us or our children or our children's children in our congress here in the united states legislatures out there will be void all these different laws tax laws and corporate laws what could be more important than
