2:52 pm
if you give an announcement and this announcement isn't immediately followed by some kind of counter information you have people accept some ideas and afterwards it is really hard to change them if. you can see. how. you and i create an event and with this event i modify reality that it is true that in times past the states always followed this principle for instance by murdering a political opponent using a hired killer but it's a well known story in other cases they provoked a riot or encourage terrorism in a certain area and nowadays this event theory has been imported into the civilian sphere from the political and the military wants from us that there are schools and communication companies which employed corella marketing means that the threat today there are too many communication tools to figure out what is truly happening
2:53 pm
in reality as it is progressively more difficult to realize what is really going on . and influence on this information is becoming more relevant for two reasons it became global and most of all it isn't real time limited as in the democracies the news reaches the audience in real time and so the t.v. audience anticipates the governments because the governments need to follow longboarding to proceed to know the news me in terms of strategy and politics this provokes a more direct influence of the public opinion in the management of the conflicts compared to the past.
2:54 pm
along with the representation of the war there are changes about the concept of war in the audience at this stage we do not talk about people anymore we talk about the audience in this context it is normal to raise adult about the possible manipulation which can be either intended or not it can be intended when for instance a scene is shot on purpose in order to influence the audience's ideas but it can also be an will for some reason the fact is selected ends up on the news and for everybody it becomes the expression of everything happening in a certain context who looks back at the facts no one does the first of all we cannot broadcast a fact a present that's only its representation in the area before communications were closely tied to human relationships there were many more forms of defense face and yet there was less space for fabrication. and now as social control fades
2:55 pm
information is being turned into something different from reality something in between reality and imagination and this is what information is the virtual pending world. to invent a piece of news diffuse it on the web massively no one can know whether that piece of news really counts as on the websites because the websites use it or because someone puts it there. to get it so our enemy is the news that is the power of a real weapon is the news and the influence that it can have i can be addressed he can be shot in the back with information in certain situations this is one of the biggest issues he will have a new weapon is information and the war is in progress of his family eighty five percent of the broadcasted information comes from the same subjects that are also.
2:56 pm
but information just think of the press agencies they give us information about their employers the companies they work for. not just this we have to consider the tv's and newspapers are not stakeholders are not the audience nor the consumers of the product they're. the ones deciding the political approach of media are the advertisers that if a piece of news does not have to be spread the subject involves buys a whole page of a newspaper and the piece of news disappears with a little bit of a cool rate going on there is another thing for the possibilities of misinformation increase enormously the audio visual media is a juxtaposition of very short spurts one minute one to have thirty seconds and so on if. you're if there is a smart effect editor he can combine the images to lead the perception of the audience and then get a political reaction out of them fully. news

3:03 pm
only twenty years old many lives cut short in such a tragic event and now the community looks to move forward to rebuild if you will there is some comfort in the fact that the investigation is starting to brew juice some answers we have been told through the investigative committee that the engines were working fine on this airplane but people are starting to find out exactly what happened as people pieced together the final moments of this flight before it burst into flames but beyond the actual technical aspects of it there is a sense that this community wants to rebuild the hockey spirit here as well we talk to the next generation. of the players the people who hope to become professionals and this is what they had to say about moving forward from this tragedy as a city continues to mourn one a very dedicated group of young men have chosen to honor their heroes in a unique way by getting back on the ice with it but you love it because it's told us that we should go out onto the ice and play for all the guys who lost their
3:04 pm
lives in this british old us to win for them it's best just for these players practicing here is special as it was from this very arena where the doomed team gone their skates for the final time. i met them on the fifth and sixth of september their training sessions before misc they were confident and quite optimistic and determined all of the bring very high spirits. one coach working with his youth team was supposed to be on the flight and though he's back working now his thoughts are still strong for those affected by this tragic loss i think it sets hard hearted voter photo by fans families and relatives and so i attest to the serious ystem are going to. go on a hot mike on this everybody and for the next generation of jaroslava lokomotiv hockey players it's not just about rebuilding the team for the future of the city
3:05 pm
it's also about getting back on the ice as a form of therapy to help them get through their grief. they also have a strong wish to win big are going copping out when they use championship and dedicate their beaks original my friends hobart was young and while this team practices and even the younger group is ready to follow in their footsteps. come on the players who don't mind where some are still they told us about them in ca monoid an eighty page in the team only ever got stock market school i want to be in a new team that will repeat as examples not committees. next we can get you to be tested for the clark county is going to come right. proving that even though they've gone from the ice the members of this ill fated lot of teen will continue to be in the hearts and minds of the people of jaroslav all in the nation for generations to plant in your solutions honest party. the city was robbed of its
3:06 pm
sports stars also its families and their loved ones know the investigation into what went so tragically wrong continues now on our web site r.t. dot com we keep up to date with the latest some of the initial theories behind the deadly plane crash are slowly being ruled out now the focus is shifting to the possibility of pilot error or technical problems we've got the latest online for you. security is being stepped up across the u.s. following a terror threat on the eve of the tenth anniversary of the september eleventh attacks american intelligence intercepted communications from an al qaeda operative in pakistan indicating plans for a vehicle bomb plot against new york city or washington result is more important i have found out a decade or many u.s. citizens still feel vulnerable in their own country. ten years ago america was rocked by unprecedented terror.
3:07 pm
nearly three thousand innocent lives were lost and of post nine eleven world was born. our war on terror. begins. but it does not in there. it will not end until every terrorist group of global reach has been found stopped and defeated washington's military reach began with a high pro-sumer bin ladin america strikes back afghanistan as only with bombs and missiles from the air and sea then a preemptive pounding into iraq. in the decade that followed america's fight for freedom has been stated by torture secret detention and rendition human rights violations symbolized by landmarks like one ton i'm ok i'll do grade and the blog airbase prison we had garnered the empathy not only of the world but the muslim world and if we had the courage to be vulnerable. we would be far safer and more
3:08 pm
secure than we are today instead we drank from that very dark liks of nationalism journalist in office chris hedges says america's terror unleashed throughout the middle east has opened a pandora's box of evil and sorrow over a million iraqi dead since the invasion. you know hundreds and hundreds of civilians killed in pakistan thousands killed in afghanistan not to mention millions of people displaced in a refugee camp some in the terror that we have unleashed will not go on. it is and it will strike us eventually however in a post nine eleven america citizens have been forced to compromise their freedom. in the name of security the past decade has paved the way for new state practices such as warrantless wiretapping intrusive airport screening and greater authority
3:09 pm
for law enforcement what some call a police state in the making as this national security state he rose and as it becomes easier for the government to scrutinize geysers in all aspects of our lives i think that we are in for we worried about this issue. than just the specific isolated as it is in the ether that is all around us much of it may be right here at home from people in our own country. since nine eleven a rising tide of islamophobia has passed through this formerly tolerant nation according to the f.b.i. for man intended to carry out their plan today dozens of muslim americans have been arrested and convicted in so-called f.b.i. for oil terror plots plots that were orchestrated and manufactured by government paid informants these cases have been created by the government and yet we're
3:10 pm
supposed to feel safer because criminals that would not have come up with a plot had it not been brought to them on a platter by the u.s. government are now in jail and we have you know snowball the islands that's going on around the world anyways more hatred only various more that feelings only reinforced my new narrative is very violent and the narrative of american imperialism around the world and we think we've created more enemies than friends you know we targeted communities rather than making them partners not only has it not made us any safer i think that it has undermined you know the very fabric of american society the fabric of a post nine eleven america the united states has conducted an operation that killed osama bin laden the leader of al qaeda. still waging war in the name of freedom i never. get there yeah right but it's the holiday
3:11 pm
military see. around the world the man behind nine eleven may have been. the international scene and yet the literary arena artsy. let's go live to washington to talk to former u.s. diplomat george penny mr kenny thanks thing i know it's international ten years ago to the us a place to start the war on terror put over the past decade as in washington only spread violence by unraveling its own terror in the middle east what are your thoughts on that well there's several things one what we're doing internationally has not been effective we're productive for anybody least of all the united states and second of all this whole idea of a war on terror has been an enormous distraction from real fundamental serious problems here in the united states and despite everything that mr obama has said despite everything that the republicans have said what we really need is
3:12 pm
a paradigm shift where we're concerned with the well being of americans and not just the top one percent of people in this country but that but having wars overseas spending trillions and trillions of dollars for those wars is just a complete waste it's foolish it's unjust it's immoral it's just wrong the off the mouth of nine eleven was supposed to be united nations everyone together in grief but you know in fact it could be argued that it's going the opposite thing by spreading nationalism and fear their response to nine eleven. well that's true kevin but i think that understand it we need to look at a number of different time frames for about a year after nine eleven even a majority of democrats supported george w. bush but over time as president bush's policies became pretty obvious to everybody then the partisan lines hardened and we haven't gotten out of that but i would suggest that the partisanship that we see and all of these internal disagreements.
3:13 pm
are not really a function of nine eleven as much as they are a function of the ordinary way the american political structures work with the way that they were designed to work over two hundred years ago and that in fact instead of looking at the united states as a normal country that's gone off track the proper perspective the one that makes sense to me in any case is to understand american politics as the politics of a dysfunctional government that's always been dysfunctional and it really needs to look hard at its own constitutional foundations all right on the face of it some of bin laden live in eighty eight off the that we heard all the media hype about it a big buildup to it after that how does the world become a safer place that was intimidation sponsibility terror placed on just one man and he's organization alone but it basically focused on one man didn't it. yeah well i think your question answers itself. a lot of people are going to object to what the
3:14 pm
united states is doing overseas most americans don't really understand what the united states is doing they don't understand that we're spending and unbelievably mind boggling amount of money on making people's lives miserable around the world that we have all these military toys that we use but the those toys cause death and destruction and i find it hard to imagine that anybody outside the united states thinks what the united states does is rational reasonable or necessary. so. are we in a safer place the answer is in fact equally no we're not we're making the world a more difficult more dangerous we're getting more people mad at us and we ought to understand that and of course to message this world is so qualified for freedoms actually for so many american citizens to give up their liberty isn't it. well yes and the question is sort of how far will that go before people realised that the liberties are gone or in my cynical moments i ask how dumb will americans get
3:15 pm
before it's too late for us to turn things around but you know kevin if if if we had a society in which there was a very small group of rich people that declared war on everybody else and said we're going to take from you by force everything that we want well that wouldn't last very long but what's happened is that the very small group of rich people a fraction of one percent of the country has declared a silent war and is managed to trick everybody into allowing them to steal everything and that's that's a situation that cannot last and eventually. i'll tell you or make this. prediction eventually americans will catch on and when they do they won't be very happy george one final thought on this ten year olds is of course a long time but the pain of the nine eleven is still very wolf in so many in the u.s. and around the world focusing on the u.s. these days is the emotion more about solo for the dead or and get towards the
3:16 pm
perpetrators well that's a difficult question of the night in thinking about it i mean it seems to me that by asking that kind of question all and that question is being asked everywhere on this anniversary i think what we're seeing is a lot of confusion really about what is it that went wrong why is this happened what kind of condition are we in and as i suggested earlier the things that we ascribe to our response to nine eleven really should be understood in a different context of things that are just going wrong in america for other reasons for more fundamental reasons and that to fix that we need a paradigm shift in how we think about american politics kilkenny former u.s. diplomat real pleasure to have you on our team to nationals and i thank you for being on the program. that thanks again. but the developing story tonight egypt's on high alert after a night of riots in cairo left at least three dead and more than
3:17 pm
a thousand injured a demonstration for reform in the country quickly turned violent as protesters vented their anger against the israeli embassy rage a mob stormed the building with police slow to react eventually they did manage to push the rioters back with force of his policy as governor his from tel aviv. israeli officials have condemned this in the act most terms he is ready prime minister benjamin netanyahu saying that it is simply unacceptable now israel has withdrawn all its embassy staff and the exception of one person that it's keeping in cairo in the hope that it can maintain some kind of diplomatic relations between both countries the egyptian prime minister has offered the resignation of both him and his cabinet to the high military council and this is almost as a form of apology for the fact that the police stood by it for several hours while protesters stormed the embassy and the police simply did nothing this resignation has been rejected there were hundreds of protesters they smashed down the embassy wall day three thousand documents out of the window they say that two police
3:18 pm
vehicles ally it they threw molotov cocktails at the police and burnt an israeli flag now three people were killed we've been told hundreds if not thousands were injured many of them by the tear gas that the police were forced to use to disperse the crowd the u.s. defense secretary called cairo while all of this was happening and urged the police there to do something and for something to be done to protect the israeli embassy and it seems as if it was almost off of this phone call that the police intervened in the situation was eventually brought under control the incident was actually sparked by israel's refusal to apologize for killing five egyptian soldiers last month and that was in a cross border raid that israel says was a mistake but it hasn't gone the step of actually apologizing for those gifts all of this comes just months after the former egyptian president hosni mubarak was ousted he of course was a longtime friend of israel and this is why many here are also suspecting that israel because of its traditional behavior is likely to react much strongly in the coming hours if not in the coming days but of course israel is in
3:19 pm
a delicate position because it needs all the friends that it can have particularly in light of the fact that it is just one week since the israeli ambassador was expelled from turkey all of this coming at a critical juncture for israel just days ahead of palestinians going to the united nations security council to call for a palestinian state. mideast correspondent there elsewhere around the world tonight in libya hundreds of people in the rebel town of brain garcia of walked on to the streets to protest against the actions of the country's new government meantime libyan rebels are pulling back from bani walid one of four remaining colonel gadhafi strongholds as nato airstrikes reportedly start in the area the terms held by loyalists have been given until saturday to surrender to the new libyan leadership as the rebels continue the search for the fugitive leader colonel gadhafi is latest audio messages claim he's still in libya despite reports of his family and some associates crossing the border into new g.m. . the arab league has reached an agreement with syrian president bashar al assad
