border post. hit hard by nato troops several people. who are now a special interview with no chomsky a linguist author the mit professor that's coming up for you right now. r t sitting down with for over an ounce scholar at 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 you talk to me about your take on occupy wall street wells in that wall street is just

a short hand to the financial institutions the banks that are bigger than richard b. who are a 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 a couple of the institutions behind them so fiscal policies like taxation and rules of corporate governance deregulation and so on was set in motion a vicious cycle which is getting worse and worse in new york so the 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 it meanwhile infrastructure is collapsing and schools are collapsing and all of that increases the. keeps the cycle going and like rising well

it's about time for some purpose what may be new in the coming year for the two thousand and twelve election is that many including yourself have speculated and assume that campaign spending for the u.s. election two thousand and twelve. exceed one billion dollar each friended tatty that is and massive it will clearly be much nicer than where does that come from well you know basically a lot of it comes from financial institutions but if you look at the two thousand and eight election what swung obama what. gave him the election was primarily financial institution contributions they prefer him to mccain and expected to be paid back when they were. and the next will be even worse and so that's only a part of it in parliamentary systems clued in our own up till maybe twenty years ago. positions of influence and suctioning part of

a parliamentary system terror of a committee. comes from principle at least from experience seniority. letters with contributions and so on that's gone now there but if if you want to become tear of committee. in the house of the senate you have to pay off the party to pay for it where do you get the money to pay for it same pocket you don't so. provides even more influence to the already overwhelming influence of concentrated capital so it's harder harder to distinguish between the elected officials and. economic concentration it never was easy to distinguish issues this is not something novel but now it's reaching the extreme level of what's left of america's democratic system if this is the process that has been cemented in quite what is really left from every angle their very nicely 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. i mean you have 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 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 democrat . 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. has departed 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 the killing of us on that laudanum interesting case it was done 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 the 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 adolescents who wrote about the bin laden assassination 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 kidnap people. whatever you thought about them. take them to guantanamo or bagram or some other torture chamber you know to extract some information out of them we know what that was like to describe it obama's policy is just to kill. killing them all over the world targeted assassination camp and you know and kidnap them and torture him just kill him. the blood necessities it 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 wrong now 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 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 has got their eyes open you talk about the obama administration and how the us actually is 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 un membership and statehood the us says that they will cast if you go against it if they do because they believe that their 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 egyptian museum revolutions they opposed them they said they backed the winters it was mostly france they are calling me fix go i mean 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 a very old pattern but putting that aside it's true that the united states announced that it would cast of the periphery so as 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 almost no relevant party disagrees with except that the united states and israel let it happen how does the fact that egypt right now and turkey have really covered 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 four more isolated 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

boycotts refusal of ships and so on and our economy will collapse not interesting that israel is reacting too much to it so. if you look back at the history by about one hundred sixty we have the records south african foreign 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. embargo 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 i told this palestinian

un membership saying look i thought for thirty five years that the sensor in the chamber is now that it's been for almost forty years there's a choice between security and expansion very clear choice israel is like other states prefer it 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 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 quartet has backed the united states they picked tony blair you know off to comment on him but that they might as well

stick george bush to it to bring the message to 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 other governments to go along with the world the rest chomsky thank you very much for your time. please. let's. just say.

a top ego strongly called what a great strike don't you know the price you follow it when you say i. inside of one victory. which was back at the helm after leaving the club three years ago but his side failed to score again in a gritty can both teams had a man sent off. now in england on sunday chelsea away a bolton could leapfrog third place newcastle with a victory spurs entertain arsenal in the north london. to defend their own beaten home record against them. but whatever happens manchester united will remain top two one male to male win for them on saturday keeping them above man city but only by one goal difference city struggling black elsewhere someone came to go stand with him to west brom. aston villa also

undefeated after beating we've been. seeing a win at everton manager's admitting jack rodwell sending off after twenty three minutes with pivotal. would have been disappointed if he'd given up. for. the manager because you want the manager to see things which are going to be for us but you need people who watch football to see whether they think it is pretty even eleven against eleven. in the incident. i do know whether this is a very. good thing i have to. be very. composed . now the rugby world cup oil and wales in argentina grabbed the last quarter final places on sunday holland beating easily thirty six six to top group

c. ahead of runners up or strike earlier while stunned fiji sixty six nil to finish second behind south africa to pull the biologically defeated georgia twenty five seven to regress problem at the expense of scotland pull a win is new zealand finished off with a seventy nine fifteen thrashing of canada but that win was overshadowed by the news all blacks fly half dan carter will miss the rest of the tournament the damage is growing during a practice session on saturday. he's been a world class play for a long time probably one of the greatest players of abuse by this country this was going to be his pinnacle correcting world cup he said a lot of focus on this tournament for us can be. as devastating that he can be in the world. on the cards we're grown and it's really important we quietly i'm superior to that to go out there we play the cards we were godly do after this with . and the group obviously chatted with this news i also

how resilient group of people who are very focused to doing this job brought. on a look at the court floor a new zealand will face argentina south africa take on the strain england face france and ireland wales these gangs to be played next week at. has been explaining why he stepped down as coach of the russian rugby team he made the announcement after his side's to feed to australia yesterday in their final game of the world cup says he wants to concentrate on his coaching role at the russian club . via a made the decision to quit the national team some weeks ago adding his remit was to lead them to the world cup despite losing all for much use at the tournament russia did score more tries than any other nation on their world cup debut eighteen total and three came again. the ozzies. some cry isn't example that. russia save their best performance last against australia school and made it fairly

one sided in all of these favor but then again as so as a strength and deb's between the two teams was running free tries to get one of the best teams in the world and to keep the school and 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 for us so we're leaving this world cup with our heads held high i thought it was a fantastic atmosphere coming into the game plenty of green and gold supporting the australians but russia weren't lacking in support eva very few had made the trip for obvious reasons from russia due to the distances involved in travelling but many of the locals from nelson they dig 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 found it very difficult to compete with the case and power of the australians and especially at the breakdown where the australians

offloads. just a little disappointed we were 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 in training missions but once we overcome the fact that they are human like everybody else we showed what we can do in this experience to stand all these players in great stead and you know hopefully the more excuses like we've hired this struggle that 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 produce some fantastic attacking rugby and the great thing about their performance at this tournament is they're learning from their mistakes and also they were really helped on by an incredibly passionate crowd many of them who were from news. but really were shouting there all for the bears and i gave them fantastic support. for the young guy in a lot of experience from plying you know why this sort of standard of rugby working

we. know he you can try and through experience or this you have to apply and i think you know. the guys that apply. for use this is an experience that i want to get hard for the improvement on are that i think they've improved as the tournament to go on so that's that's a good song i can only get better on a number of russia's players have really enhanced their reputations after this told them and have examined is probably one of the smallest man this world cup has only five foot seven he was absolutely outstanding for wired as we speak to grace if you want to second that man of the match award against australia at this tournament it's great to those two guys you know. with his injury was a blow for us in april. i really didn't expect him to be back to his best the thought he could get back to playing with the right change meant in training but to be back to playing his best is great for us in rugby. for the team and you showed

no value really is in games. you know of work 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 or put in some fantastic displays for a while and won a lot of friends as well as running in a 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 boldly darcy nelson new zealand. yeah well done to them now spain's dani pedrosa has won motor g.p. japan grand prix for his third victory of the season it was an action packed race on the first lap because he's valentino rossi crash that forcing ben inspired to run off the track as well then championship later casey stoner who started on pole and was in front had a rare slip up brake failure saw him run into the gravel on lap four and danny could. see says chance to head the field in his weight was more carnage to barbara tumbling on the twin ring circuit here followed by nicky hayden who also tasted the

tarmac but recovered to finish seventh however the driver stayed out of trouble for a victory seven seconds ahead of fellow spaniard wrong. with stoner finishing his championship lead to forty points by lorenzo with three races left. because you made a mistake and it was going to beat sure you know. so i wanted to do the good in the bengals were going to show that it was not so bad when we could do a good race. and were finished with some golf where there is a two way tie for the lead in las vegas nicky what me and kevin are take a one shot lead into the final round of the justin timberlake shriners hospitals for children open now was at the top of the leaderboard at the start of the penultimate round in carded a sixty six to go seventeen and finding the greens no problem at all on saturday. was what may who went a couple better with a sixty four he had
