back bloody meet putin for president in two thousand and twelve is the prime minister's greater popularity interview to the russian media has it sparks debate about the country's political future. and in the besieged libyan town of sea or to the humanitarian situation remains critical people are dying because of a lack of vital medical supplies amid fears fighting between pro and anti gadhafi factions thousands have already fled to the battle as forces loyal to the interim government claim they are slowly winning the battle. r t interview parties interview with noam chomsky a linguist to author and of the mit professor is coming up for you 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 to speak with 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 through the financial institutions the banks are bigger than richard 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 the 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 like rising well it's about time for some protest what may be in there in the coming year for that twenty twelve election is that many including yourself have speculated and assume that campaign spending for the u.s. election two thousand and twelve. well exceed one that we had for each friend to keep tidy that is that mass will probably be much higher 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 mccann 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 and 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 a committee. in the house or the senate you have to pay off the party to pay for it and 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 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 these very nicely 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. of cultism iraq it's going to happen now 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 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. 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 osama bin laden 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. they 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 murder someone on their soil but also that they're being. pressured or forced to take part in an american war in afghanistan some of the conservative military analyst 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 on this bush bush's policy was to kidnap people. whatever you thought about them. take them to guantanamo by ground or some other torture chamber and. extract some information out of them we know what that was like describe it obama's process is just kill.

killing them all over the world targeted assassination camp and you know to 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 gone 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. the hatred throughout the

muslim world and when anybody has got their eyes open you talk about the obama administration and how the us 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 un membership and statehood the us says that they will cast a veto 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 sit back to them and to me as it was mostly france they are calling me 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 test of the progress 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 almost no relevant party disagrees with except that the united states and israel let it happen haven't 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 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 artist 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 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 u.s. was supporting them nothing happened then the u.s. withdrew support almost instantly apartheid collapsed saying it's in israel's best interest and the us soul out of this palestinian un membership with a foot for thirty five years the sense in which a family where 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 and 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 then i might as well take george bush to. bring the message you do what the united states tells you stop this nonsense about statehood and go back to negotiations that's where we now stand and it's up to the people danced industrial countries to compel a government to go along with the world has a chance to thank you very much for your time.

league. this.

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 for a vast majority of a 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 tough similar numbers attending the training sessions or even autograph sessions. were not really used to this level of attention from the fans and the t.v. and stanmer autographs 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 science 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 at 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 in less than a month 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. we're only going to have supporters rush is they they probably are going to have many supporters so we go for a new table russia fear so oil cap a grade two or any zero and there is plenty for russia to build on the over the next four years they will have to find a new head coach after nikolai neeraj 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 of one experience or has been for the bears over the last month or so i was worried a lot of friends around here in new zealand and around the world with their exemplary behavior off a page as well but i'm spirit in which. richard i'm hoping r.t.

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 share. their names to the score sheets. looked well on their way to completing a shot sides 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 into effect for in the chill. the twenty three year old

broke his own course record order to reach. i mean the coveted piece of silverware he first shattered the mark in the semifinals and then went on to lower the fire that in the decider of a championship winning run fifty five point eight four seconds russian surprised by kitch. cuts to settle for a ninth place prevailing qualification however while such was a happy mom trick of titles is what the young dare devil is the he craves. a pretty hefty and well i mean. it's hard to over for our british my girl after work to do next year then i can celebrate. and that's all sports news by phone.
