are dying from a lack of vital supplies amid ongoing fighting something experts say makes it made his mission to protect civilians more questionable than ever. artie's interview with noam chomsky a linguist author and mit professor is coming your way next. 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 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 well as in the wall street is just a short hand to the financial institutions the banks are bigger and richer than before 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 the institutions behind them so fiscal policies 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 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 protest what may be in there 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 in two thousand and twelve. well exceed one don't you for each friend to touch it that is that mass will clearly be much wider than that 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's one obama what gave him the election was primarily 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 only a part of it and 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 there bought if you if you want to become chair of a committee. in the house or the senate you have to pay off the party to pay for it where do you get the money to pay for the same pocket you don't so. provides even more influence to the your already overwhelming floods 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 sort of reaching the extreme level but what's left of america's democratic system if this is the process that has been cemented in plates

and what is really left if from every angle there's the is that man's land for me just take a look at public opinion they'll tell you. about two thirds of the public thinks the entire congress already thrown out. but that doesn't 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 digits for president not much higher in the same month 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 but 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 u.s. assassination of osama bin laden and that continuity you say between george w. bush and barack obama. the killing of osama bin ladin is an 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 pakistanis were already. overwhelmingly anti 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 conservatives 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 policy was to kidnap people. whatever you thought about them. take them to one ton of moer bug rum or some other torture chamber and. extract some information out of them we know what it 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 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 gone now you just kill him if you think. so he was apprehended. no resistance he was alone with his wife a defense nothing. 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. the hatred throughout the muslim world in fact and when anybody has got their eyes open you talk about the obama administration and how the u.s. actually is right now could be in fury 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 if they do because they believe that the record low shisha should take place between palestine 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 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 want democracy is wonderful and then they moved to try to ensure that the regimes would stay pretty much as they were and so it's a very old pattern but putting that aside it's true that the united states

announced that it would cast of the progress thirty five years of 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 have a fact check right now and turkey have really sever their relations if you see that's an effect of the arab spring what that 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 now it's interesting that israel is reacting too much the way 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 worked 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 they're saying it's in israel's best interest and the us i tell allowed

this palestinian un membership to stay with us for thirty five years the same scenario which a murderer 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 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 cowardly them out like this but they don't like to step on the tone and 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 i don't have to comment on him but then i might as

well pick george bush to. bring the message you do what the united states tells you to stop this nonsense about statehood and go back to negotiations that's where we now stand and it's up to the people then just industrial countries to compel their government to go along with the world the rest chomsky thank you very much for your time you know. twenty years ago i just. said. and. six i'm going to a janet you a crew.

cut. through a. commitment it's six or. six or six and we thank you and. six with six sixes.

a nine six lead before the break and it was all. all i learned in the second half he so running two of their three tries no mean feat for the center mark his twenty fourth birthday ireland have taken part in every world cup since the tournament began twenty four years ago but it's the first time they've talked to their pool thanks to the run through the great face. off that was the best yet it was just to see green everywhere you looked and how our job was to give them something to cheer about in the bar and distance. is really incredible to play here well island have never made it further than the quarterfinals and standing in the way now a wales who thumped fiji sixty six nil to finish second behind south africa improve day while argentina defeated georgia twenty five seven to progress from pool be at the expense of scotland call a winners new zealand finished off with a seventy nine fifteen thrashing of canada but that win was overshadowed by the

news all black staff fly half dan carter will miss the rest of the tournament after damaging his growing cheering a practice session on saturday. i just feel for this young fellow. he is already up to this world cup probably maybe it wasn't it was a vision two years ago got certainly over the last few years and it was a big stage for him twenty nine at the peak of his powers and that's been taken away so that's very. well a look at the quarterfinal draw or season eight team line up with that scotland for the first time in the world cup his favorites new zealand face argentina south africa take on australia england will play france and ireland take on wales those games will be played next weekend. now russia's debut world cup campaign has ended with the team flying back to moscow on sunday the bears might not have managed to win a game but as richard found poor feet reports they were warmly received by

a very appreciative and sometimes fanatical local support. over the last month or so rusher of made a lot of friends around new zealand the vast majority of the team they have never experienced such a level of interest from the general public if league matches in russia only attract a few hundred spectators it is fairly surprising for the squad top similar numbers attending the training sessions or even autograph sessions. were not really used to this level of attention from the fans in the t.v. and san marotta groups here that have done throughout my life here everyone follows both russian and global rugby it's great it's inspiring and it gives you the motivation to work even harder. this wasn't most of the players first experience of new zealand the team had been here on a training camp just after the new year. the squad would take the opportunity to see the sights as well as taking time off to take their minds away from all things rugby. this was by far the biggest events russia's players ever played in and in

terms of experience it will take something special to beat the memories the bay of hide from this world cup it's been awesome it's really good to be to be here at the heart of the world. being that the world cup stage is just it's just an amazing experience and very welcoming from from from the local people and we've already been to quite a few towns and cities so it's very interesting to see lee did mention that russia had to do plenty of traveling and this was perhaps be only downside of the trip being new boys to rugby's biggest event the bears were given a very tough schedule which would see the team have to travel more than seven times to different locations unless for the mum of the critics of the russians there were hardly ever any complaints and they always had a smile on their face while they would pick up an army of unexpected followers along the way who went to rather extreme measures to show their dedication of a new found heroes. only zero is good enough supporters rush is they they probably

are going to have many supporters so in a booth they would go for and say my russian fear so oil cap and a great two or any sale and there is plenty for russia to build on over the next four years they will have to find a new head coach after nikolai nero's resigned however at the moment it is likely that kingsley jones will take up the reins of the bears on a more official basis before the moments for russians can be turned proudly back home in the knowledge that they have played some excellent rugby over the last month or so here in new zealand for russia as the world cup campaign has come to an end one experiencer has been for the bears players over the last month or so i was made a lot of friends around here in new zealand and around the world with their exemplary behavior off the page as well but i'm spirit in which. richard i'm hoping artie nelson. now danny for jersey has claimed his third win of the season with victory at the resettled and dramatic japanese moto g.p. it was an action packed race on the first lap to cathy's valentino rossi crashed

out forcing ben speeds to run off the track as well then championship leader casey stoner who have started on pole and was in front had a rare slip up brake failure saw him run into the gravel on lap for. seized his chance to head the field yet in his wake there was more drama at that barbera tumbling on the mark taking circuit breaking his collarbone while nicky hayden also hit the tarmac recovered to finish seventh however pedrosa stayed after trouble for victory seven seconds ahead of fellow spaniard jorge lorenzo stone at managing to finish third at the australian championship lead with cuts to forty points by lorenzo with three races left. and i snuck in and have bounced back from their defeat by city rivals spartak to comprehensively beat syria three one in moscow the hosts had to wait more than a quarter of an hour for the right man for alexander because coffee converted a power play to finally break the deadlock and then the army men proceeded with

confidence netting a goal in each of the three periods who shared. their names to the score sheets. looked well on their way to completing a shot at but finished forward yardy later saved some point for syria with his goal in the dying seconds but it was too little too late as the visitors felt their fourth straight defeat. had finally defending his world crown is not enough for extreme kayakers some sudden as the daring new zealand plans to take three titles from as many attempts next year the extreme kayak world championship took place in austria and sutton was interesting for in the chill. the twenty three year old broke his own course record order to reach. in the coveted piece of silverware he first shot at the mark in the semifinals and then went on to lower it is that in the decider of a championship winning run fifty five point eight four seconds russian surprised by
