r.t. sitting down with for over an ounce scholar linguist author and mit professor noam chomsky professor chomsky thank you very much for taking time to speak of r.t. glad to be with you the first issue i want to speak with you about is the recent clashes that have taken place on wall street between americans who are turning out to demonstrate and police officers from what i read you recently sent a message to support the activists of this group called occupy wall street you've called them courageous and honorable you can talk to me about your take on occupy wall street well as in the wall street in just a short and to the financial institutions the banks are bigger and richer than before corporate profits are retreating record levels for much of unemployment is about the level of the great depression real unemployment these people are saying no let's blame the institutions behind them so fiscal policies
12:32 am
like taxation rules of corporate governance deregulation and so on it does set in motion a vicious cycle which is getting worse and worse in new york so walk down the streets you can see it very serious poverty on the other hand phenomenal wealth right side by side the much like a third world country what you see if you go to so if there are enough with the meanwhile infrastructure is collapsing and schools are collapsing and all of that increases the. keeps the cycle going and in fact rising well. it's about time for some protest what may be in there in the coming year for the twenty twelve election is that many including yourself have speculated and assume that campaign spending for the u.s. election two thousand and twelve will exceed one billion dollar each for having
12:33 am
twenty that isn't massive it will clearly be much much higher than where does that come from well you know a lot of it comes from financial institutions like you look at the two thousand and eight election and what's one obama what gave him the election was permanently financial institution contributions they preferred him to make and they expected to be paid back when they were. on the next will be even worse and certainly that's why a part of it in parliamentary systems including our own up to old maybe twenty years ago. positions of influence in a functioning part of a parliamentary system what's the chair of a committee. comes from principle at least from experience seniority. legislative contributions and so on that's gone now they're bought if you if you want to become chair of the committee. in the house of the senate you have to pay
12:34 am
off the party have to pay for it and where do you get the money to pay for the same pocket you know so it. provides even more influence to the your already overwhelming flints of concentrated capital so it's harder and harder to distinguish between the elected officials and. economic concentration it never was easy to distinguish i should say this is not something novel but now it's reaching the extreme level but what's left of america's democratic system if this is the process that has been cemented in place and what is really left if from every angle there's these very mandolin for me just take a look at public opinion they'll tell you. about two thirds of the public thinks the entire congress would be thrown out. without as a member of it's going to happen no but it means that the system isn't working and the public knows it. the popularity of favor ability rating for congress
12:35 am
and single digit president not much higher and the same runs across all other institutions it's a very widespread sense that everything is going wrong that tells you the democratic system is just not functioning now in fact i don't want to suggest that this is totally new so you go back a century and you can still predict throughout all this period pretty well the outcome of elections by campaign funding but there are degrees and now it's gotten extreme. the levels to which the u.s. is deported from other capitalist societies are pretty remarkable you released a book recently. called nine eleven was there an alternative focusing on the us assassination of osama bin laden and that continuity you say between george w. bush and barack obama. killing us on that laudanum interesting case it was done.
12:36 am
in such a way as to infuriate the pakistanis which is extremely dangerous that's the most dangerous country in the world and go into it but you have a professional army committed to the sovereignty of pakistan the pakistanis were already. overwhelmingly and he american this shoots through the stratosphere the army is bitterly angry not only at the invasion of the country and the murder of someone on their soil but also that they're being pressured forced to take part in an american war in afghanistan some of the conservative military out a list soon wrote about the bin laden assess nation i quoted some of them pointed out quite accurately that there's a shift between bush's policies and obama's and this bush bush's policy was to
12:37 am
kidnap people. whatever you thought about them. take them to guantanamo or bug rome or some other torture chamber and try to extract some information out of them we know what it was like to describe it obama's policy was just to kill. killing them all over the world targeted assassination camp and you know to kidnap them and torture him you're still in. the bin laden assassination was a case in point it's hard to remember but there used to be a system of justice in the west which said that a person is a suspect until he's proven guilty of until then he's a suspect he's innocent until proven guilty well that's one night you just kill him if you think they're guilty so he was apprehended. no resistance he was alone with his wife the defense doesn't. highly trained commandos could certainly have
12:38 am
apprehended him and they didn't they were under orders to murder him and then toss his body into the ocean acts that are almost designed such a way as to increase her and. hatred throughout the muslim world and when anybody who's got their lives or them you talk about the obama administration and how the u.s. actions right now could be infuriating the muslim world the arab world the obama administration has supported the tunisians has supported the egyptians has supported the libyans and the so-called arab spring the palestinians have officially submitted an application for u.n. membership and statehood the u.s. says that they will cast if you go against it they do because they believe that the record low shisha should take place between house and israel before there's an independent palestine first of all i have to make a qualification of the united states and its western allies did not support the
12:39 am
egyptian and to newseum revolutions they opposed them they said they backed the winters it was mostly france it's their call and fix going in egypt was the united states and britain they supported the dictators until the last minute and when. the army turned against them and it was no longer possible to support them then they said ok we want democracy is wonderful and then they moved to try to ensure that the regimes would stay pretty much as they were in sight of this very old pattern but putting that aside it's true that the united states announced that it would cast of the for about thirty five years the united states and israel have been rejecting a political settlement that is supported by virtually the entire world the arab league the organization of islamic states which includes iran and hamas supports it
12:40 am
almost no relevant party disagrees with except that the united states and israel won't let it happen haven't the fact that egypt right now and turkey have really sever their relations it's really see that's an effect of the arab spring what's happening there are changes in the world what's happening is israel's getting harm or isolated meaning the u.s. is getting poorer i saw for example a couple months ago there was a meeting of the the oligarchy people pretty much on the economy they warned the government that they better accept something like this resolution because that is it otherwise israel will be as they put it south african iced even more isolated you know boycotts refusal of ships and so on and our economy will collapse now it's interesting that israel is reacting too much the way so. if you look back at the history but about nine hundred sixty we have the records south african foreign
12:41 am
minister called in the american ambassador described this to and said we don't really care as long as you back us because you're the one who matters and that's how it works right through the one thousand nine hundred eighty s. u.n. border u.n. embargo corporations were pulling out. sanctions all over boycotts they were doing fine. the reagan administration was backing them. as long as the us was supporting them and nothing happened then the us withdrew support. almost instantly apartheid collapsed saying it's in israel's best interest and the us still allowed this palestinian un membership saying look i thought for thirty five years that censoring the chamber is a smell that has been for almost forty years there's a choice between security and expansion very clear choice israel is like
12:42 am
other states is preferred for since the early seventy's it's had a choice between security and expansion can have peace but not with expansion into the territories which incidentally is recognized to be criminal but everyone including israel. they can get away with it as long as the most powerful state in the world backs them and as long as europe goes along and europe is remarkably tolerantly them out like this but they don't like to step on the opponent also the masters so they go along so you know it's the court that has backed the united states they picked tony blair you know they want to comment on him but then they might as well stick george bush to it to bring the message you do what the united states tells you to stop this nonsense about statehood and go back to negotiations with that's where we now stand and it's up to the people then just industrial countries to compel the governments to go along with the world the rest chomsky

12:47 am
a practice session on saturday later on the island take on a swing with buddies meeting a big three to be sure of making the quarter final. quarter finals i would destroy anything creeps a need at least losing by this point against fiji so may the last three days. meanwhile. has been explaining why he stepped down as coach of the russian rugby team he made the announcement to his sides to think through strategy yesterday and the final game of the world cup your dish says he wants to concentrate on his coaching role at the russian club boy made the decision to quit the national team some weeks ago adding his remit was to leave the. go world cup despite losing all four matches at the tournament russia did score more tries in any other nation on the world cup they be eight in total and three came against the aussies watching russia with some pride. russia save their best performance last against
12:48 am
australia school and made it fairly one sided in all of his favor but then again so is a strength and deb's between the two teams was running free tries one of the best teams in the world and to keep the scoreline to below fifty points in terms of points difference they can be extremely proud of their performance. i'm really happy to put on a good second half school three tries and posted twenty two points against those trillions is just great through us so we're leaving this world cup with our heads. of it was a fantastic atmosphere coming into the game plenty of green and gold simple in the australians but russia were lacking in support. if you had made the trip from his reasons from russia to the distances all travelling but many of the locals from nelson they take themselves out in russia and would cheer the bears on just like they would try and cheer on the all blacks but when the game would finally get underway the russians were in for a rude awakening as they really find it very difficult to compete but pace and
12:49 am
power of the australians and especially at the breakdown where the australians offloads you know just just a little disappointed we are in all of them really in the first twenty one minutes which is natural you know a lot of these guys they only see on the television play in super rugby and train asians but once we overcome the fact that they are human like everybody else we showed what we can do in this experience stand all these players in great stead and you know hopefully the more excuses like we charge this rugby world cup the better we will become and we will really become challenges at this level well after the initial shell shock the first twenty minutes for bears really came into the game there are some fantastic attacking rugby. and the great thing about their performance artist coleman is very learning from them stains and also they were really helpful when trying to be passionate crowd many of them who were from new zealand but really were shouted mare all for the prayers and i gave them fantastic support. of the guy and
12:50 am
a lot of experience from plying gause that you know why this sort of standard of rugby working week and now you see you can try and through experience all this you have to play and i think you know. the guys that apply will be. no use this is an experience that i want to get in hard for the improvement on are that i think they've improved as a tone that's gone on so that's that's good so i can only get better on a number of russia's players have really enhanced their reputations after his totem and one example is probably one of the smallest man this world cup i've only five foot seven he was absolutely outstanding for a while as we speak to grace if you want to second that man of the match award against australia has told him and it's great to those two guys you know. with his injury was a blow for us in april and i really didn't expect him to be back to his best thought he could get back to playing with the right treatment and training but to be back to play in his best is great for russian rugby great for the team and
12:51 am
showed overvalue really is in games and victor you know i've worked really hard with days is so much potential for russia going out of a pool stage where they really can be incredibly proud of their first ever world cup well put in some fantastic displays for a while didn't want to a lot of friends as well as running an eight chinese and just our first ever world cup and they will learn from their mistakes and will be better prepared in four years time if they manage to qualify and receive on hopefully d'arcy nelson new zealand. yeah russia but i am with some pride that i am full unbelieve our instructor twice is the nominee to leapfrog to scar to go second and the russian premier league after coming from behind twenty one at home to cross and you can see in had put it this is the head off the hof a now. former liverpool. striker varney never within three minutes. and that's the way now with the crude remaining the most a side of nine one for the last five games all across and are among seven points
12:52 am
adrift of i'm struck by finishing in the regular season. there was a disappointing day even nearly getting his form a spot that most. churches solve got off to a losing start with his new sites headache the chechen club conceding that when after eighteen minutes the nineteen year old man who made the cliche had. school to go his side won not one though against elsewhere last off left to left it light and struggling pleased to get off on. the goal small equal getting the punishment five minutes left the ball bounced off and into the back of the net to give the high side a one minute victory balmy a dry pose of age was back at the helm and after leaving the club three years ago but the montenegrin coached by all to produce an immediate success as his charges were how it would go a sure bookies ball got both sides to the man sent off lights on in that gritty
12:53 am

12:54 am
jack rodwell standing off after twenty three minutes was influential. free kick i would have been disappointed and if he'd given. it was not for i think people need to. ask the manager because you want the manager to see things which are going to be for use in each people who watch football to see whether i think it was pretty even eleven against eleven. i've never seen the incident. whether they deserved. i think. they were very. professional very. composed. now on sunday chelsea are away at bolton and could could leap frog new castle into third with a victory spurs entertain are still in the north london darby swans they look to defend their own against the i'm full of. well let's switch to go where there is
