welcome back the latest news on the week's top stories are not seen i believe is a variation is us danger by budaj accounts of the death of a great leader as allegations emerged he was executed by lynch mob a rebel points here meanwhile deposed about a future in that sense as ethnic and tribal divisions and urge among leaders and once united in government. more street violence in greece this week as the country's government approves more tonsilitis is what is concentrated at the beginning of a busy o.b.e. if you are in the i.m.f. and while if european leaders out there are running at a lengthy brussels meeting over resulting the crisis has been told to talking about all major decisions until another summit on wednesday. the battle over barricades and nato forces fail to remove road they just putin survey of course will be as i think subsequently been ok to stop the peacekeepers advance. and right now i don't

see the ongoing occupy wall street movement which started over a month ago shows no signs of slowing down we'll talk to author and social critic james kunstler about the phenomenon and what kind of impact it might have on the future of your. archie sitting down with author blogger and public speaker james howard kunstler so thanks so much for joining us and it's nice to be here let's get started with the occupy wall street movement is seen many media outlets try to ridicule them marginalize this movement as something that's temporary and really out of his teenage behavior and he was actually called this bogus in your blog let's talk about that what is your take on occupy wall street well first of all it's hilarious that all of these scolds in the media are shaking their fingers at these him people and say oh you know you can articulate your position you don't have any agenda

we're living in a time in the united states when the consensus about reality is so fractured even among people who are supposed to know what's going on we cannot construct a coherent story about what's happening to us and what we're going to do about it so to expect the young people to be able to construct a coherent narrative when nobody else in the culture is capable of doing that i think it's a little unfair. what's more you can kill just from the placards that they're carrying around we know where their heads are at the the most significant or telling one that i saw said. i have seventy thousand dollars college debt twelve thousand dollars in medical bills i'm twenty two where's my bailout so that's a good enough reason to be out there i think so and i think what it represents is very clear it's the idea that this younger generation feels like their future

has been sold out from under them but with major unions joining we've seen a much more kind of mature knowledgeable group of people come out onto the streets thousands of people do you think that's reason enough for the media and politicians to really start. seriously i don't know if we're capable of really interpretating what's going on politically in our country right now is no i have a pet theory that the more social and economic distress a culture goes through the greater the delusional thinking gets so that you know as the social stress rises the crazy ideas and delusional ideas tend to increase it's not a very. good it's not a very good set of conditions for you know arriving at a picture of reality if you compare occupy wall street to the arab spring we saw

american politicians and the mainstream media plotting the arab spring yet this is somewhat of a similar beginning of some uprising along those lines doesn't go double standard a little bit too obvious yeah it's amazing it's amazing that we were cheerleading for all those people in the street in tahrir square you know anderson cooper was down there and you know all the other. usual media suspects were there cheering for the protesters in spite of the fact that there was a very good chance that the outcome of the revolution might not be so good let's put it this way you know the outstanding feature of the politics in the last three years has been that nobody on wall street has had to sit in a court room to answer for the tremendous amount of misbehavior in banking and you know this includes acts that can only be described as swindles and

frauds well people have been talking about the lack of accountability ever since the financial meltdown took place three years ago but we haven't seen anybody come out onto the streets why now and do you think that this movement could end up taking america to a. better place at least in terms of pushing palate politicians to hold someone accountable if just i do think there's a reason why we haven't seen a lot of protests the kind of things that have been happening to americans are very shameful they lose or draw up they lose their income they can't support their families they can't feed their families their house gets taken away from them you know these are things that tend to be humiliating and shameful and i think that because of the way our system works where you know this is the land of freedom and liberty people blame themselves and they internalize a lot of the bad feelings and then you know they suppress it because it's shameful

the combination of the shame and anger that's all kind of mixed up with that has not really expressed itself and may take a bit more to shove it over the edge and may take you know a bit more hardship now in one of your articles you say the hope invested in obama will end up in a museum of lost hopes along with the integrity of t.v. news i want to ask you if this were to be obama's only term as president what would he be remembered like in history well i voted for obama i think that he's probably all said and done he's probably a decent chap but it also appears that he's either a hostage to history or a hostage to a certain faction and was in our culture and economy like the wall street bankers. remember over a thousand people were successfully prosecuted for the misdeeds in the savings and loan scandals of the late one nine hundred eighty s.

and early one nine hundred ninety s. no significant figure from the banking community has really been even sat in a courtroom and had to answer for any of their their deeds you know there have been a couple of fluky cases including bernie made off. you know these are outliers these are the marginal cases but really the heart of the system hasn't been touched i think that. mr obama will be remembered as kind of a spectacular failure and i also think that this is a period of history that is comparable to the eighteenth fifty's in the usa that was the period that preceded the civil war and it was a period in which political institutions were failing you know an interesting thing happens in situations like this institutions lose what's called legitimacy legitimacy a reason to exist and the faith among people who have subscribed to to their

beliefs that they are worth believing in and you know we're seeing a grand failure of legitimacy now in the political system in the usa and it's rather fragmented you really sort of forecast every year for the year ahead what the united states should await i mean your forecast for twenty eleven you said that the number one question really is kind of political economy floating later when he that will loon of gusts of sheer fakery. balloon pops well i think that the air has been going out of it steadily but surprisingly slowly for three years and you know we're the whatever pin prick in this balloon you know where we are it seems to be located at the moment is over europe with tremendous questions about the legitimacy of the european union and the banking sector

more more generally but you know all of the banks in europe and north america are. interrelated and there's no chance that what happens on one continent is not going to affect another i think that there are sooner or later we're going to see similar problems. in the usa the air is going out of the balloon. it's been remarkable that the fabric of this bubble was so strong but when all is said and it's a fabric of faith and confidence that the system is meaningful and sustainable and people are beginning to doubt that that it that it is if we could return to the role of the media you return to this issue in your blog quite often you've written that they shout down invited guests commentators pander to their demographic and just their rivals for ratings what role do they play these games well you know culture goes through cycles where institutions. take various forms

acquire a certain legitimacy and then blow it throw it away and i've seen it happen in my lifetime where you know the authority of the evening news on the networks was unquestioned but what's happened is that you know i think that the media has lost its confidence it certainly in a great state of. convulsive transition we do know that younger people tend not to really get their news from t.v. at all you know they mostly get it from the internet. there are very few kind of vested legitimate authorities on the internet who are trusted news bringers they all appear to have an agenda of some kind or another whether it's left right wing capitalist socialist you know we never won it is and you know i think we have a long way to go before any of these things are sorted out and it's one of the

reasons that we can't construct a coherent narrative about what's happening to us do you think the united states could face its own person i prefer to call it a reset because i don't think it's the end of the world or the end of culture. where the end of america i think it's a reset of culture but it but it can be very very painful and you know there will be a lot of losses in vault of of property and status and you know things that were important to people that they're going to lose and so we have to somehow be prepared for this period of history that's very difficult what i think we're seeing is something that i did expect that we would mount a campaign to sustain the unsustainable because of our tremendous psychological investments in the stuff that we've got running you know we put all of our national treasure into building freeways and building these massive suburbs and building all

of the accessories and furnishings for them you know the strip malls and the malls and all the you know all the stuff that comes with them. that's where our national wealth has gone and you know we're not going to just kick it into the garbage can without a struggle. but i don't think that it's going to work very well for us anyway so the final in the final analysis what i think is going to happen is america is going to be dragged kicking and screaming into a reset of daily life how a concert thank you so much for your time.

today violence is once again flared up. these are the images seen from the streets of canada. for asians to rule the day. on. a very warm welcome to you this is your news today protesters on the bolts since they have. ladies and gents a good chance the chance is to get the status of the human experiments give it a little. weeks you will see this right you suppose it goes to the movies lately trying to censor global economy and its arcane slogans as financial tips to the researchers to maintain our confidence in markets and. wants to be easing trade

part of their walk into this course of data now to thanks for joining us this hour first let's take a quick look at what's making the sporting headlines around the globe. blackout new zealand crowned rugby world cup champions for the second fly following a close victory of the frogs. across in russia the exciting game from north america draws a lot of new follows across the ocean. and bust of a career w.t. it's hard so the record so both of survivor picks a canary in the women's singles final to lift a crummy car in the russian capital. so new zealand the twenty eleven rugby world cup champions the all blacks tried thing by the narrowest of margins over a french team in auckland it may have been their love with scoring this side the

other it was also one of the most exciting one try a place for the sides returnable kowtowing before the house fifteen minutes in a french captain to read this touchdown eight minutes after the break of the steven dog pile to prove crucial eight to seven school ends and park the all black starts to celebrate the second world crown. the guys who have won the world cup and there is a state. i would be through a lot together is richard c. and a lot of the guys played in the last group. fell with the quarter final and the witnesses . there's not words for quite frankly look i'm hostile to these emotions certainly we have always thought we always said that the all blacks are the best team of all time but tonight i think our team was great even tremendous for you but it was difficult when you did just a tiny bit more here. now football when the russian premier league leaders in

a have retained their top spot following a three one away victory to restore visitors needed nine minutes to open this has done it registered another go there for two minutes in defend smaller to front or behind in the area so the referee had no other option but to point to the spot on a look which make no mistake that by the thirty second minute extended their lead to three girls headed home after a process to become also called why go back straight after the break that was it for the house so three one a finished and still on top of the standings i. thought the most good meanwhile have gone forth in the standings as if fresh to see tom at the luzhniki stadium for mail opened the scoring for the muscovites ten minutes brazilian striker double delayed just before the break i see plenty of time to fire

his powerful short interval top right corner after the break spot substitute matric a human contributed his career first go for the team to make a friend and finally the net once again for the home side two minutes before the whistle to seal the final result before. in the late game to mail it to stuff for the home defeat by second place northstowe that was finished five drinks learned to ski is meant. to do with a hat trick to his name. to the english premier league now where manchester city have threshed cross-town rivals united six one at old trafford my rehabilitation and. with a double there for the visit. added a consolation bell for alex ferguson's men. sixty five points clear of their closest rivals united. cannot three one win is against. city editor going wild

picks up all three points that full on in other games told them is back on the winning track as they defeated two girls three one first place the charts a surprising loss to the league's new board screens are rangers. but now let's take a look at brazilian football where current champions luminaires a loss to lead to common error by two girls and missed the chance to move third in the table with his does open this score in eleven minutes into the game. i thought from the chest down last the midfielder found the net from the penalty pick as the strike appeared to be to throw in full few minutes as goalkeeper diego that is good and went in first half injury time crossed the helm at the near post. to finish the miserable night after the hosts referee in culver sleep center uses several minutes before the final whistle. over to tennis now where it gets

a book or has won her first ever career double duty title the kremlin crowned that's after beating in the women's singles final here in moscow i think our turned out to three was the stunning play with open a rather easily six three but eight seed for the storm back in the second should want on a tie break sibel who was also betting they decided taking it seventy five to match the trophy. in the men's game and was ready to claim the title following a straight sets victory overcome patrick and defending champion because of troitsky top seed tips ravaged opening set six four it was a no confidence in the second one plan only two games there to win the cup. now the north american sports all across has become an unlikely pastime a rush the exciting game drawing a lot of new followers here this year as can sort of put up with now explains. what

course is recognized is that all this north american sports with origins in the feet century the native americans could take it to their hearts even went as far as calling it the little brother of war many amendments have occurred since then alone huge popularity in the ass indeed worldwide to flourish. is a team game so it's got that competition thank is in the air so it's now here three dimensions and there's more scope for dinner clever stuff like that you know you've got you've got your staking you've got yeah it's like if they sort of it's ok i think harry. and because i think a fight is ok you know padded up you know you're not going to get back really because he does not like about the bow and suddenly like for guys like it's kids really you know it was like ross has been a surprising revelation for russian audiences he's been having few domestic players and just to be clubs one each in moscow and st petersburg this poor state sure is

growing in every match between the rivals is a big event at the moment foreign fans are in the majority in the stands. i think in russia it's a console it's you know it's a brand new sport and i think you know we have a lot of americans a lot of british people here trying to play with the russians and teach the russians how to play the cross and hopefully integrate it into russian culture it's a great game for young people because it's it's a i thought i don't think you know it's good to see out there to become fit to get stronger and to make friends to be a team like ross has been a tool in the games in one thousand no foreign made you know weight with canada topping the podium on both occasions it's also the national summer sport of the country the physically demanding pastime with its full context downs not too dissimilar to the country number one sport ice hockey i was looking for team mates to play hockey and got into lacrosse and now i like it not a lot of people here know anything about the game and i like to watch people's

amazed. faces when they see my stick and helmets in the streets it has a lot of common with hockey so i mean the shooting i mean the game itself tragedy involved it's pretty similar to hockey hockey is popular here so i mean i think you could definitely grow in russia there is still a long way to go for crossing before it becomes a well known sport on russian soil relief the enthusiasm of the people really playing it here is anything to go by the signs i did it will happen sooner rather than as a mother or a cheat. and follow very sad news italian rider marco simoncelli has died after a crash at the malaysian military to pay than in supplying they twenty four year old was hit by two by a ton of evan after appearing to adverts and bullets in a row see the american right also but this tape serious injury while fellow italian wasso was able to return to the pits the race was immediately stopped after the tragedy so much ellie and let it be ryder for two seasons following at a checkered career in their classes so yet another jesse in
