more longer than i'm still alive still annotate like i mean i like young people and then they call me later i don't really know what's the real meaning what i did because like my little brother they caught me like a brother. so you've been to new zealand yes but we're selling some silver. which comes. along with the first time only fifteen because he says fifteen. and then and then remember just memory guy for that. but you were there with hugo you know already girlfriend scene because his catalog began before us of course i want to. have

a. wife. and then to these even you going to by reading this yes well we're doing that. study. man to man t. it's. also with girlfriends it's not stopped. when they're like they're like they want to or they will get mad about a woman that had one head on. because they're really wanting a band and. it's been nice all right be nice i think business why not. so she took me to the terrace with them she left to. stay there. and that's how the leg work european like. to.

have nice weather. is. what that means i couldn't find them in my partner were things like this nobody talked to me. yapping all about and here i have lived together two years with the new zealand strat. but the same still the same time and still the style of life. based make the correct. so why never marry who coming to. no idea.

something i've been away. for so scary. now i'm twenty seven if i'm more than thirty years or not so it's not maybe when i want to that's got. i'm still. different really. but i still can do it because. i would have been more dead afterward that if i have to go. back. now do you feel lonely if you don't miss the companionship. that's what keeps you going you must continually listens. to. your body and i think that's. what he is that he picked back.

i have known i have known you see. well in the fifty's and. in the sixty's then again ben says because. of something different by the beach but since it didn't perform so with. sickly he succeeded. in. kind of. this. this is because of that knowledge that if you're going to anything. there's always been that sort of that element anyway i mean women coming here looking for. young boys or men that's been around forever. i think

it's all to do with mater and how you present applies anywhere i think everybody knows it's not really paradise but for those women i guess it is. all it's on the beach. and it is. it's my life. someday i would love some to. be. in the beach boy find a customer. base and really. if it's not just there for. a customer. of ours you don't know what i want to go.

money from the humboldt joan. all eyes on syria tonight as president assad promises reform but will it be too little too late we'll tell you about russia's latest attempt to defuse the tension between syria the u.n. and the world once again despite has been taken into the heart of baghdad were not on the outskirts were not in greater baghdad this day. off of the sidelines and into the story embedded journalists risk life and limb for the inside scoop but are the relations between reporter and subject becoming a little too close to be considered objective. is ridiculous no no we would

need to do the job but we think the government could do a little bit better it would be doing known. well it's a hard knock life for the us that's right just blocks away from the wall street ball is america's fourth district welcome to the south bronx. it's tuesday february seventh seven pm in washington d.c. i'm liz wall and you're watching our team. well we begin tonight with the deadly conflict in syria the u.n. estimates the death toll now what over six thousand russia and china facing condemnation from the west an arab states for their decision to veto a u.n. resolution on syria as diplomatic efforts fail a list is growing of countries pulling their basters out of syria yesterday the

u.s. shut down their own busy the u.k. called its ambassador or recalled its ambassador to damascus and today france spain italy all called their ambassadors home the united arab emirates bahrain saudi arabia oman qatar and kuwait did the same it's all aimed at putting pressure on the assad regime and while they want president assad to step down russia and china refuse to choose sides are going to pour in i joined us just a short while ago from new york and gave me the latest on the conflict after getting heavy criticism for not backing the resolution for assad to step down i asked her just why isn't russia and china caving into pressure from the international community. the reason there's many reasons for it liz but one of the many reasons is the fact that russia and china will not support any draft resolution or international push towards regime change both countries have stated over and over again that the security council should not be used as

a tool to overthrow governments of solver and states and because draft resolution on syria was vetoed and there was no consensus reached on saturday we did see russia's foreign minister and head of russia's foreign intelligence service visit damascus on tuesday to personally meet with syrian president bashar al assad that meeting proved to be successful in many ways because following the meeting foreign minister lavrov informed the press that president assad has agreed to talks with the opposition groups he has also agreed according to mr lavrov to follow the arab league's road map for increasing the number of observers in syria also president assad has agreed to send a government delegation to moscow which would meet with representatives of the opposition group now the syrian national council has agreed to allow moscow to

mediate the roadmap for dialogue between the two sides this is an enormous positive sign considering the kind of standoff that the dividing parties have had in syria and the internet international community has had on reaching some type of consensus on how or how to approach the circumstance in a peaceful and fair manner now russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov said that moscow is committed to bringing peace and balance to syria but he also called on both sides of the conflict to. lay down their weapons and put a halt to the violence. our approach is based on a clear and simple goal to stop civilian deaths the region needs peace syria needs peace it is clear that efforts to end the violence need to go along with the start of a meaningful dialogue between all political sides today we've received confirmation

from the syrian president of his readiness to participate in that process we will continue to work with various opposition groups but anyone who has more influence on them than russia should also work with them as. a court according to russia's foreign minister syrian president bashar al assad also has agreed to call a referendum shortly that would allow the syrians to vote on a new constitution and to hold parliamentary elections in the near future so clearly a lot of progress being made by the visits that were made by russian officials to damascus and marion i want to ask you because as the death toll continues to rise there in syria and we are seeing because reports of the devastation in the country these shocking images could russia be blamed for the bloodshed in syria. well i think certain certain members of the media even certain diplomats are positioning

their story that way we did hear the u.s. ambassador to the united nations susan rice saying that because russia and china both cast a veto on a resolution on syria the blood will be on their hands and i'm sure a lot of a lot of experts may may blame russia may blame china but russia and china will point to several examples one being libya there was military intervention into libya one of the security council approved one where the western countries promised would bring peace and security and now look at libya the fallout and the consequence has made libya more unstable than it was before colonel qaddafi the former lever leader was removed or and foreign intervention took place military intervention took place what russia and china are saying this is what they're saying that governments cannot continue to be removed disposed of when the international community decides there are no longer good for

a country this problem in syria specifically russia and china believe is up to the syrian people to decide and it's and the responsibility of the international community is to help facilitate a fair and balanced decision that ultimately they say should be made by the syrian people it's a hard problem no it's not easy clearly well we're going to thank you for keeping us updated there that was our to correspondent in a park in iowa. well today republican presidential candidates are honing in on colorado minnesota and missouri where caucuses and primaries are taking place right now since early on in the race campaign coverage hasn't gult the mass media airwaves but despite the nonstop coverage are voters getting a genuine look at the candidates well i take a look at how in covering both war and politics a certain type of reporting campaign imbeds as it's called can often lead to biased journalism and as you'll see this practice can affect the message that gets out to

the public. one embedded journalists came to rise during the war in iraq once again this fight has been taken into the heart of baghdad we're not on the outskirts we're not in greater baghdad is it the department of defense planted hundreds of reporters in the field giving front row seats to approved media outlets like fox news and reporters like greg kelly well so happens to be a lieutenant colonel and the u.s. marine corps reserves this was the first time that we were seen war happening basically to live on television twenty four seventh's with the reporters right there in the middle of it but also enabling the military to control what journalists see and better tell their story you might focus more on those troops and what their perspective is gina cavallaro was imbedded in both afghanistan and iraq when you're embedded with the military you're covering the military you're not likely to just leave and go and stay with the villagers and

from or to politics today reporters in bed with political candidates it's a technique commonly used by the mainstream media they've been dubbed him pay off their network producers and follow the candidates around. these reporters are linked to their candidate almost around the clock for the moderate on the plane on the bus they get an up close and personal look the day in the life of the candidate they follow i think of it there we go any one of them yeah but he goes he back there he goes right in the process the reporters get to know their candidate well at least on the surface it's actually very gratifying to hear the things feature over and over again when you're covering someone man to man you notice the differences. the tiniest things that he might say differently in a stump speech in a place like new hampshire versus a place like iowa are but our political reporters for the mainstream media then campaign insiders and does the line blur between covering the candidates. and

working for them this iowa caucus was almost like it was a sham it was like a year ritual they were just reinforcing these rituals. and for elections meanwhile a recent poll shows public opinion of the media at its lowest point in decades sixty six percent say news stories are often inaccurate some of the seven percent think news organizations tend to favor one side and eighty percent say the news is influenced by powerful people in organizations which some say is why one candidate doesn't get his fair share of coverage ron paul. a strong anti-war message strays from the republican mainstream when they do you have to cover him. not to cover him in a very probably again days away and try to see the president disenfranchise him and while overlooking one candidate perhaps too much is divulged on others because we've got these twenty four hour cycles with these you know it from

a should traveling very quickly their coverage is going to be even more superficial one of mitt romney's most recognizable features his hair and of course leave it to the new york times to track down his stylist who says that he's trying to tell romney to go more natural so when journalists form such cozy ties with candidates and set of covering and exposing them are they actually catering to them from the bias to the superficial reporters may need to break away from the bus and order to get the story right and the public truly informed and washington liz wall artsy. and earlier i spoke to journalist and political contributor david seaman on his point of view of the campaign coverage we've been seeing in the media take a listen. sure first of all thanks for having me on and covering this really i haven't seen anything like this before where one candidate is pretty much given a free pass and i'm talking about mitt romney of course the story will come out

about him or his financial ties and it just basically disappears the next day goes no further than the blogosphere and then on the other hand as you were saying in the last piece. ron paul and even governor buddy roemer who's also running for president are not getting much coverage and when they do it tends to be negative and so we just took a lock at mainstream media this trend of literally embedding their reporters with candidates how do you think this practice and other journalism practices a fax campaign coverage so when you embed a journalist in a war zone for example that has some very legitimate journalistic uses because you have somebody on the ground with a camera who can speak to soldiers and all that but when you have embedded reporters who are on the campaign trail and have you know sort of an unspoken allegiance to a certain candidate that's very dangerous because you have a reporter who's acting more like a p.r.

person than an actual journalist because they know if they dig a little too deep or dig a little too hard that they can be thrown off that campaign bus you know they can stop being invited to these press conferences where there is limited space and i don't like a lot of the embedded reporting that we've seen so far in the g.o.p. primary and this type of reporting most of the time it's hard to avoid inevitably this will lead to biased reporting how do you think campaign coverage can affect the outcome of elections. it has a tremendous effect you know the average person all the information about these candidates is out there it's online but the average person has such a busy life right now and they're so worried about paying their mortgage and doing all these other things that they have to do that really they just turn on the t.v. for a few minutes at night and that's really that's where their opinions are coming from and so when they see that mitt romney is a strong leader and is going to turn this country around and when they see that ron

paul is you know as bad foreign policy views that's really all they hear and they don't hear the other side which is that that isn't necessarily the truth at all and also in the campaign debates the questions they're throwing to these candidates are not the most controversial issues in the country right now they're not asking them about sopa and protect which were fascist internet censorship bills that congress tried to push through they're not asking them about. which the national defense authorization act president obama signed into law a little more than a month ago and it gives them powers that are much closer to the powers that a dictator or an emperor would have and they're not asking these candidates what they think of that and it's a big deal and i know that you are a very outspoken critic of the n.d.a. of the national defense authorization act a law that president obama recently signed off on i mean why haven't we seen it much coverage of this there has been many opportunities to discuss this so many of

these g.o.p. debates have gone have gone on very little time has been dedicated to discussing this topic. absolutely it's it's really surprising i mean as a journalist it's kind of interesting to see them ignoring this topic and skirting the issue but as an american citizen it's really terrifying it's not interesting to see them not talking about the fact that our a lot of our civil rights have been signed away and it's being dismissed as not a big deal but what do you think is behind it this kind of selective picking and choosing of what's important and what's not important what the cover what not to cover when something like the n.d.a. and the a.s.x. every citizen and has huge implications for our freedom. why are we seeing certain types of stories covered and others overlooked well this is just my opinion but the n.d.a. is a very treasonous piece of legislation it's perhaps one of the most dangerous laws

we've ever signed into law in the united states and i think the media knows that if this got out there and you know all three hundred eight million americans knew about it there would be such outrage that pretty much everyone in congress would have to go they would have to be replaced. and i think there's that fear there and the other problem is we don't really have a wide variety of media options ninety percent of radio and television networks in the united states right now are owned by only a handful of companies and many of those companies have the same advertisers that they need to please and they also don't want to upset politicians because if you upset a politician who voted for n.d.a. they may not come back on your show and if you can't get a good guess you can't maintain good ratings and you're out basically you know. that's an interesting point that you make so what is your suggestion suggestion that to a voter that wants to be informed truly informed about all the issues what's really going on how does one go about doing that. sure other than watching r.t.

america you need to get on twitter and just do some searches on their search for the candidates you're interested in and see the real time conversation that's developing you use google news search for every candidate search for ron paul search for governor governor buddy roemer don't limit your coverage and don't limit your searches that just you know mitt romney because you probably already know about mitt romney it's time for you to learn about these other people who are also running for president and also have a lot of experience david thank you very much for weighing in that was journalist and political contributor david seaman thank you. well it's an issue the occupy movement has brought a voice to and one we highlight here at r.t. the sad tale of two america but the income inequality gap growing in the middle class dwindling the american dream for many is dead and perhaps it's a new york city where this tale can best be told just miles away from the wealthy and.
