of. a very warm welcome to you this is r.t. live from moscow on a recent show we put a model that has taken a swipe at his media rivals labeling accusations against news corp as total lies and that only nine mistakes have been made in the phone hacking probe the embattled media mogul now has an f.b.i. inquiry on his hands over claims that the voice mails of nine eleven victims were intercepted me rolling the scandals claimed its biggest scout yet rebecca brooks has quit she ran murdoch's u.k. newspapers and was editor of the news of the world when a murder victim of a million dollars phone was hacked next week children rupert and james murdoch are facing a parliamentary grilling with autism or and it reports while he fights to save his media titan. of altars are already circling. god every media outlet in town t.v.

radio even the scariest when bought imitates life the long running simpsons takes a shot at its owner rupert murdoch aka montgomery burns in an episode broadcast apparently coincidentally this week. but it's not the only piece of timing in the extraordinary phone hacking case that seems to get more scandalous every day the list of something like four thousand names which the police have have since about two thousand and four three thousand and five and yet they promise facie evidence of criminal activity by these individuals and boy by the murdoch empire and yet they have not acted on it so why now just as the murdoch deal to take control of satellite t.v. giant b. sky b.

look sure to go ahead his arch rival the guardian newspaper releases catastrophic allegations of a moral journalists and their shady practices that when the deal collapses the times for example which currently loses money you could have transferred some of the profits from. investing in the times and if you will for example the guardian or the daily telegraph. that it's not just rival newspapers who stand to gain from murdoch's empire crumbling the b.b.c. could retake t.v. territory lost to b. sky b. and the labor party which was wounded by years of relentless attacks by murdoch papers can finally take revenge but where will all this lead.

and you see. all. this. you know. that would suit the government just fine the british press is famous for its sharp teeth and no holds barred doggedness particularly where its own government is concerned prime minister david cameron has all but shut down the press complaints commission and already talks of statutory controls to govern print journalists back in springfield mr burns is thought it was the townspeople who put up their own newspaper and he's almost right. as it is possible to control the media because of rupert murdoch. murdoch found as did mr burns that you just can't buy all the newspapers those outside his control have

been gunning for him think it is and this time they may have succeeded just as he looked sexy consolidate control over a launch section of the ukase media markets the first being pulled out from under him and it's all over the hidden scandal now revealed that the police have known about it for years nor have it's hot seat. been hearing a culture of control by the mode of media got out of hand. who runs a t.v. network social activist says there are parallels with some nations wider imperial ambitions. you can make an analogy i think on an international scale between what happens in takeovers the united states and britain took over iraq and who do they bring in power who they employ they employ. slogans and i think that same thing has happened in the tabloids where we have a man's power in the against and murdoch in an opinion the other big barons and who

they hire what they propose who they hire not painting every journalist with russia but certainly if you look at murder whether it's on television where you've got the assassins strike o'reilly and hannity and the united states i don't know about in britain. it's a whole culture of power and control and deception or an agenda and that engender i think it was the agenda of collars both in britain and the united states. we are asking what you think of the tabloids tactics and get into the story let's have a look at the numbers here and see what you're saying at r.t. dot com so far the most votes say such reporting methods are outrageous and on ethical and should be punished twenty nine percent think it's ok as long as it doesn't cross the line around a fourth believe the approach is simply meeting the modern public's demand for the rest of think it goes in line with society's move towards less privacy cast a vote now at r.t. dot com and here are some of the other items we have lined up for you today. the

names you put in vladimir putin discover why the russian prime minister's been given at the bond treatment on billboards in moscow also online. the creatures in crisis as a ferret a parrot and a monkey escaped from a siberian circus scene really because the bad summer weather is getting them down more on the furry friends in a fluster party talk. with r.t. live from moscow drastic spending cuts are on the way in italy as the parliament desperately tries to fend off a spiralling debt crisis it all bodes badly for the euro italy's finance minister even compared the current troubles to that of the titanic because financial writer patrick young told us the government may find itself in

a conflict with the public set against cuts who will be one significant difference between the people who take to the streets between greece and italy and that is that a greece at least thank goodness the taxi drivers don't go on strike where is nuclei expected almost everybody is going to end up on strike and it's going to be absolutely chaotic the only way they can slip this through is perhaps because we do have this long lead in time until the cuts really start to make an impact in two thousand and thirteen but i think the problem is in the meantime a large one. the sort of the leftist opposition in italy for c. the fact that silvio berlusconi due to many of the reasons will stick which are outside of the direct school reason are and he's a wounded animal at this point in time and in some ways i think he's going to be very difficult to hold his government and so there aren't big problems in western europe they hear them to be definitely to the east and everyone not so fortunately extends further to the prizes because the academic contingent seems to be spreading

and we have no political leadership seeming to do with that turned into those crosstalk labelling discussed discuss why the e.u.'s leadership is so adamant about saving the euro a penny cost but here are some of what's coming up next hour right here at a. level three school break up it would be good for greece it would be good for the europe would be good for the world if greece went bankrupt and wrote see how to pay their bills or stop a lie then you would have everybody would know it's a strong sound currency based on a strong sound economy while i'm out and go buy a profit and in europe in america we've had states go away grocery and cities go bankrupt we've had counties go bankrupt it didn't in the united states and it didn't in the u.s. start i'll tell you why because of the four hundred billion dollars a greece has fifty percent is held by german and french banks and those countries bill want to put in their financial markets is that. it is.

still. there are clear reflections on the other side of the atlantic to president obama has given an unyielding u.s. congress thirty six hours to raise the country's debt ceiling but it looks are already spurred two or three major credit rating agencies to threaten to downgrade america's aaa status and investment analyst max wolff tells us here are so you know why. john's addiction to death is clouding both sides for a real solution america's been running on debt for years this is a disaster in the making and i would liken the situation here to a cancerous tumor inside a body there's no better time to cut the cancerous tumor out quickly as you possibly can that said the u.s. government has been running on debt for many many years and we've been raising the budget the total debt ceiling for many many years as a budget issue and we've successfully had deals struck it has become the political

norm in the united states that whatever party is in the white house has to ask to raise the debt ceiling it's always been raised in the past the party that's not in the white house that's out of power screams and yells for three or four days at most usually about how the government spending too much and should live within its means the debt ceiling that name gets raised and it's business as usual that's been the case for thirty years so we have one side in the congress right now that's decided no increase in revenue is acceptable i don't other side has decided that not raising revenue is unacceptable and so we've reached an embarrassing impasse that has dragged on for weeks longer they should and is the reason that we're going to see the growing chorus of foreign and domestic voices urging congress and the white house to stop riling already strained global markets with a political impasse. it's a now eleven minutes past the hour here in moscow despite treaties and agreements to curb the spread of nuclear weapons governments keep investing in perfecting their arsenals and for some activists the danger will remain personal most people

remain pathetic later in today's program auntie's a special report tells the story of citizen crusaders who hope to sound a wake up call for countries refusing to relinquish nuclear weapons. the. end of the cold war and the going away of the soviet union many people thought that nuclear weapons recipient. the risk is not zero that something might be going off find this to expose really nuclear weapons on hair trigger alert. the pacific and to use it as its rate as an extra but you know if you keep spinning a trillion dollars a year on weapons of eventually you're going to blow everybody up you you know people are dying from these weapons but until we actually see it people don't wake up to nuclear weapons or a bill. that represents all of the firepower of the second world war

this. is the equivalence of fire power the world's nuclear arsenal today. welcome back here with me arrest warrants have been issued for the captains of its two vessels which passed by the sunken volga river cruise ship without stopping to help survivors they will reportedly face and negligence charges it comes just a day off the two people linked to the disaster were arrested the head of the firm which rented out the vessel and the registrar certified the ship suspected of violating safety regulations resulting in projects to severely overloaded crews that went down on sunday in a russian republic of tatarstan killing at least one hundred fourteen people including twenty seven children the sunken ship is to be brought to the surface within the next few days after you spoke to the captain of

a vessel which came to the aid of the support. there's we were nearing the site we began to figure out how many people there were in the water and older was hard to do because there was a lot of rubble floating around as well it was very hard to pick out individual people. from him on the floor to breathe some people were in dreadful condition i mean you were injured they had it all over their skin because when the ship sank the fuel oil came up to the surface and spread everywhere and covered the people that made the rescue even harder because the oil made the victims creasing and hard to get a hold to pull them on board change children and their condition that was particularly hard breaking. and you can now watch the full interview with a captain and as many in the country are consider him to be a hero when he was online in full dot com. but the u.s. may want to be seen as the world's human rights advocate but homophobes as growing up his actions of hypocrisy thousands of professional torture of supporting have

been trained over the past sixty years with approval from the department of defense and asking for thought out it's ready to export its interrogation expertise. it's been thirty years since colombian soldiers kidnapped be starved and electroshock hacked there are east peace about all for having a quote subversive book. but it's a memory he lives every day people have been called on this time very lucky to be able to tell the story. people get told to for those that stand there and then they get shot and kill many have been these appear after says the colombian soldiers who tortured him and later killed his brother. were trained right here on american soil at the school of the americas and for benning georgia army major garrett the player was an instructor there i was very much in favor of the school of the americas the in the cold war era but major blair says he was horrified with what his former

students did with their intake communist training in their own country the classified. the army school the american use of the words terror again next door assassinate to. come in line. with all the waits for. graduates from the school of the americas have been implicated in massacres and torture throughout the hemisphere and the more than sixty thousand soldiers and police to have graduated ten thousand of them have been colombia has been the largest user of this school of the americas i don't think it's an. abuser of human rights and it was sometimes for the eighth amendment to the us constitution forbids torture and other forms of cruel and unusual punishment as as the geneva convention but they did happen there's no question that in our country not only in games and torture and so taught others how to do it we also

render people we also sent people to prisons in other countries where they were in fact or truth there although congress demanded more oversight of military training programs an internal investigation by the government accountability office showed that school of the americas manuals advocated using quote torture truth serum blackmail and execution the pentagon said it didn't know what the manuals contained because it staff advisors assigned to review them didn't speak spanish united nations special repertoire for torture one man gets himself a survivor of torture says a lack of transparency in the u.s. led to further abuse in the eighty's unfortunately the. military aid and police aid was restored and after that it's been difficult to document to what extent that includes teaching. techniques that are prohibited by law or by international law it's a legacy that sharply contrast with u.s. rhetoric about respect for human rights abroad torture survivors and religious

leaders in washington d.c. have come together to demand a full commission of inquiry into what they describe as torture practiced or enabled by the united states including in its own prisons like guantanamo bay and by the cia when president bush says that he waterboarding and he would do it again . and set them right that he had ordered that. that's a very serious problem for the spirit soul of our country as the myth of how many prisoners were tortured by the united states are hard to find survivors like hector's even numbers don't tell the full story when someone gets torture only that person was so forth or for us to deal with a big wound. part of those under torture is also someone who has to be humanized themselves in order through the human eyes i know it's human being but a society. is going to pay a price a very big price that's worth killing for in our t. washington d.c. . as the u.s.

expands its antiterrorist network a broader there are now reports of secret prisons in somalia besides officially belong to local security forces but are run and paid for by the c.i. a journalist jeremy scahill says he's visited the persons of the americas mainstream media makes it hard to report on what's really going on. inside this dungeon prison there are no windows there is no sunlight there's a bedbug infestation according to prisoners who've been there mosquitoes all over the place the air is thick and disgusting some prisoners are said to be losing their minds there are also reports from prisoners that there were very young boys inside of the prison some people have been held for eighteen months without charge without access to lawyers without access to the red cross in fact the red cross told me that they were not aware of the prison and that they've never been given access to it but i know for a fact that journalists from several major american news outlets were aware of these facilities in mogadishu and it's for those networks to answer why they've

never reported on it both c.n.n. and a.b.c. have allowed their facilities their media outlets to be used as conveyer belts for the spin of the cia and that's the job of the cia and they do it well but the job of major media outlets should not be to be a conveyor belt for the propaganda of u.s. intelligence agencies so i would leave those those questions for other media outlets as to why they're not reporting on this very serious life and death issue that has to do very much with the rule of law in this country and whether or not there's been any change when it comes to respect of international human rights laws and standards now i'm talking minutes past the hour here and also you with all its you let's check out some of the silence of the world news for you the pentagon has admitted suffering one of its largest ever time with thousands of sensitive defense files stolen deputy defense secretary william lynn says all the data was taken in a single intrusion in march officials blame an unspecified foreign government and comes after revealing a new internet strategy which treats cyberspace as an operational terrain like land

and sea. senior officials from some forty countries have mechanised to discuss libya and to try to find a political solution to the five month long conflict u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton and nato secretary. general anders fogh rasmussen also are taking part in the multinational libya contact group talks they want to ask the road map for peace in libya as proposed by turkey. mexico's biggest ever marijuana plantation has been discovered by authorities two hundred fifty kilometers south of the us border it covers one hundred twenty years and is wanted by and advanced irrigation system last year investigators found a tunnel running from mexico to the u.s. that was fitted out with lighting ventilation and a railway to transport drugs but they also uncovered forty tons of marijuana. you are up to date with with all the hard news here on r.t. but next it's the business juice with dimitri in just time it.

a russian bank business southeast the teleco has morning sir. it will be. purchased outside the former soviet union it's quite widespread bank starts at the spenser plant in eastern europe it's lucky to still bear very similar to russia c.i.s. markets and borders they can sell for the very lucrative targets for its opposite the rest are made at fourteen billion dollars and it has a wide network of branches they cross nine countries in central and eastern europe what we know by now is that today is their bank accounts the purchase all fake hundred percent over the eastern european union both bank international forest made eight hundred forty million dollars the talks started last year but then had been complicated by the ownership structure of the bank but now the deal is expected to be closed this year and we're now hearing banks that have what is waiting for they had a bank get a monkey have to give us all the details on the upcoming deal. russia will not

make concessions over its tax regime for conley to gain membership of the world trade organization under the current rules manufacturers which make more than sixty percent of the vehicle in russia received financial concessions this is intended to boost local production of cost promised the president says the system is not open to negotiation. oh poor ms insist we drop the requirement for sixty percent localization production of three hundred thousand calls in a year we have the position cannot be changed but it's a riddler and we cannot cross because we can't alter burned in the interests of domestic producers separately prime minister. plans to build a second line of the eastern siberian pacific ocean line system for exporting crude oil to asian markets he also suggested another line could be added to the north korean gas pipeline which goes into the baltic sea and ends in germany has no time

frame for the project. same take a look at the markets we start with commodities so well is a lab mix the investors suspect us fuel consumption may climb that's ahead of reports that may show industrial production increase the juden consumer confidence improved in the united states. repealed markets are down as traders remain cautious ahead of the release of bankers' stress test results due out later this afternoon france is down a notch announced that point three percent. in russia pretty similar picture the markets are flat and next barely moving there before the r.t.s. nice x. if we look at the main stock movers actually some outstanding stocks we've called their specially bt beats up one point four percent when i was actually losing more than one p.c.b. is involved in the limelight seeing the purchase of passes from the bank of moscow at the moment and this is creating some volatility around the stock is worth

getting support from the news that it is finalizing the agreement about you but some european units is up one point eight percent rather gazprom is barely changed . coal prices are close to record highs as investors look for a safe haven from the storm brewing in the world's biggest economy it's seen as a traditional store of value gold is being driven by concerns over the us debt situation and the prospect the federal reserve may print even more dollars. ethiopia's capital believes there's no limit to the current running for gold. it did look like a few weeks ago the price of gold was going to come in lower but in you you're starting to see increased eurozone concerns increased inflationary concerns the prospect of more const of easing more stimulus spending from the from the federal reserve we thought that that finished at the end of june and now in the last couple of days or so there's an increased likelihood that the federal reserve could start

to print more money and that is going to go to where is this going to go to gold and into equities are most likely gold at the moment so obviously sixteen hundred dollars would be an obvious level for gold to hit and then you start to see some profit be in second off the table but then you could push through that and there's no ceiling you carry on going to seven hundred eighteen hundred dollars and gold stocks remain a favorite on the russian market most interesting call from capital pick some names he thinks will continue to attract investor interest the best birds know in the market will be the gold companies. which are essentially hedge against weakness in the in the other currencies. the middle school has. been doing quite well. has been very well couple of ways names such as the corner kelley also quite good page positions and unicorn for reasons. internal restructuring has been opened for
