let's look. at the. markets why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy is a report on our to. do with our live from moscow to have bonds the first u.s. marines reach australia as america's military moves in on the asia pacific region to challenge china's growing influence. russia warns against arming the syrian rebels with peace efforts underway saying they can't topple president and it will only lead to carnage. and the hague's rejection of a palestinian request to investigate a lead's israeli border crimes on their territory throws down over the court's impartiality. up next we focus on what a growing number of americans see as

a major flaw of u.s. politics the two party system that's next. arts he's sitting down with jerry white socialist equality party presidential candidate for the upcoming twenty twelve election mr right thank you very much for joining our team today thank you very much well according to a gallup poll a record number of americans now identify themselves as independents that's actually more than those who identify themselves as democrats or republicans what do you think that says about american politics really central question is the years social opposition has always been channeled back into the democratic party which has presented itself as the people's party right so you had huge protests for example against the iraq war in two thousand and three but then the lead. ship of

those protests quickly put that movement behind first the john kerry campaign then finally the obama campaign you have the occupy wall street protests an expression an initial expression of enormous anger over social inequality the domination of big money over the government the imperviousness of the government to the needs of the population but again the leadership of these movements in one way or another channel that behind the democratic party maybe via the trade unions which. you know the argument being that somehow the democratic party is really a people's party but it has always been a capitalist party it is the second party of american capitalism and so it has functioned primarily to channel social opposition completely behind a couple this program a bushwalk program workers face governments which are completely controlled by the

world bank so the oligarchs or the corporate elites and in every country the working class needs a political program and our program isn't based just on slogans or media conjuncture a live event it's based on an understanding of history in the long struggle by the socialist movement and such figures as leon trotsky there's no national solution for american workers or greek workers were confronting huge multinational corporations but nowhere in the world a prize that our national election receive in garner the type of financial donations that contributions as an election in the united states are u.s. president barack obama is expected to raise a billion dollars or more for his reelection campaign this year and i'm sure whatever republican opposes him. will have

a large amount of money too is there any way in the future that every president presidential candidate runs on the same amount of money why can't it be an equal playing field or candidates are actually working to get votes from citizens rather than getting money from citizens and corporations well it's the best government that money can buy in the united states and it's a good it's a government that serves those money when he didn't trysts i mean the you're correct to say it's one of the most undemocratic ballot access laws for instance even get on the ballot requires tens of thousands of signatures which have been scrutinized by the democrats and republicans to exclude any independent parties even once you get ballot access as you noted the media generally excludes any oppositional voices so i think that the question of a broadening of

a democratic. electoral process is bound up with a political awakening in the political struggle of the working class you can't have genuine democracy when one percent of the population control such vast wealth and carries out policies which is so antithetical to the interests of society as a whole they can't do it democratically they have to use more and more authoritarian methods of repression there is opposition to the war in this country in afghanistan and iraq yet they preparing for another war are there nations whose leaders in your opinion truly represents the people such and represent what you see . now that one nation no not at all in this war none of them on at all so you're saying there's no democracy there's no genuine j.r.c. anywhere because genuine democracy is bound up with social equality it means that the most important decisions of

a society not simply choosing between two representatives or three representatives of big business but the most important decisions how societies resources allocated peace or war these decisions have to be made by the working population which is the vast majority of the population in every country how would you say u.s. foreign policy could or would change if what americans wanted was represented by the american leader well i mean clearly the american population just says the working people around the world have no interest in slaughtering one another in battles over the interests of huge energy conglomerates and so forth. we we are fighting to give voice to the sentiments and the needs of the american working class and i want to stress that our campaign is not simply an american campaign we are fighting to unify the working class internationally.

against the dangers of a new war. the type of crimes that have recently emerged as as in the massacre in afghanistan these aren't simply the issue of stretched out soldiers as as abuse these soldiers are themselves the american soldiers are but it's a very character of these types of wars that are being carried out wars of occupation wars to subjugate entire populations including the recent war in libya which was carried out in the name of human rights it was a war as iraq as afghanistan. the reemergence of colonialism of imperialism and the working class in america has no interest in that and the working class around the world has no interest in that we see the struggle for genuine peace as the struggle for socialism the struggle for the working class

to take economic and political power in its own hands it is almost always a republican and a democratic candidate that will dominate presidential elections in the reply to states if americans had to choose between are two models of cars or two types of cereals they would they would like it they would want more choices more variety so why are americans ok with just having this combination of a two party system well it isn't the choice of americans the ordinary americans that you have a monopoly of two corporate back parties mean that the it is in the interests of those two corporate backed parties to exclude any voices that challenge the political monopoly of the financial elite over society. no none of the major decisions that affect the lives of millions of people are ever put before me for the population no one asked the american people whether or not an invasion of iraq

in two thousand and three. we should go ahead no one asked the american people in two thousand and eight and two thousand and nine should trillions of dollars be handed out to the reckless financier's on wall street that destroyed the economy if they were asked they would clearly say no that money should go to schools should go to jobs it should go to health care the basic needs of the population so the political monopoly that exists isn't because of there is a a a general consensus in the population for that it is it is if it is a monopoly against genuine democracy against genuine democracy and serious amy america's leaders don't represent the people and if they tell us that they are going to get votes you can't say that they don't get full well i mean that's the decay of american democracy isn't going on you know consistently for decades and decades you haven't stolen election of two thousand and two thousand you had the

explain the events of two thousand and one nine eleven which we utilize to more and more attack the most basic democratic rights you now have a president obama was the clarion that he has the right to assassinate u.s. citizens anywhere in the world without genuine due process the millions voted for obama for example in two thousand and eight because they wanted an end to what bush represented and obama has gone even further in the tax on wages and living standards and social programs than the republicans ever did many critics believe that our so-called american style of political theater is replicated in many other democratic countries like france for example do you agree with that of course it's a crying shame you know the degradation of of politics is being brought that everything has to do with celebrity everything you do is slogans and appealing

certainly not. to to reason and and through reasoned argument but the crassest appeals and so on but that's also an indication of how distant the french government is from the masses of working of working people you know you have this tragedy and to lose the other day in and of course that was that was an incredible crime but however the french government's engaged in wars it's banning birth the burka it's using anti immigrant an anti arab chauvinism in france at least it's horrible tragedies are an inevitability into those conditions and what is politics in every part of the world blaming immigrants for the problems of unemployment while the political figures hand over trillions to the banks they blame immigrants for unemployment or for taking slots in school so everywhere bush what politics is is is a decaying to such crass appeals you know you contrast that for instance in the in

the period where american political life there in the american revolution or lincoln when he came to company union here in new york before engaging in his election campaign they actually spoke in an intelligent fashion they made arguments they explain with what slavery a ruckus they explained the incapacity of society moving forward on such of basis they made an appeal to reason to deep democratic small d democratic sentiments in the population what can what can obama do except claim to the population and i feel your pain i'm really on your side while he's getting busy in a myth is that the columns from wall street so course the level of politician politics is so degrading but these are deep social forces the breakdown of capitalism around the world the incredible levels of social inequality

imperviousness of the political establishment is giving. rise to the emergence of a powerful movement of the working class kerry by the socialist equality party presidential candidate thank you very much for sitting down for tea and here is very much. if it makes kitchen dates him believe me or just say we want to cheer execution date isn't enough for anybody to go to more leisure. you know more than thirty percent of the people here are a few texans are not. like you know live in north darfur is merry. christmas night you know we execute our convicted capital murder we have the highest execution rate in america we're not afraid to do it we do it well this becomes a point we do comes. out of new home. our

thought you knew you don't know i'm sorry welcome to the big. party's top stories the first us marines reach australia as america's military moves in on the asia pacific region challenge china's growing influence. russia warns against arming the syrian rebels with these efforts underway saying great parent topple president and they will only lead to carnage. and the haze rejection of palestinian requests to investigate alleged israeli war crimes on their territory throws doubt over reports and see out of the. next status here with the latest.

divorce up to the top stories. neck and neck out on god has tracked in game four of a closely fought playoff series to decide in a moscow in the finals. while love for paul solo to beat ac milan three one and final munich crews possible say to reach the semifinals of the champions league. on fighting talk of russian crew. it is a waste that is look at that pass for the first offense he still be a proud it is shawn cox. first i thought he and the playoffs where regular season winners tractor are looking to level their semifinal series against our vanguard narrowly lost the last two games to trial two one in this best of seven contest but struck top one but i think ounces during the regular season and the score is on the skids currently one nil to the highest court there is on target i'm god and whoever

prevails in this series will face a red hot sit in on my moscow in the garden cup finals the capital plots the roller stars of petersburg six one on tuesday to beat a surprise series whitewash denise mussel you offered a cracker after just five minutes to set in the past the home crowd alight ability stadium. double their lead midway through the opening period after he and lisa converted from play one just five minutes later there were a lot of stunned half the star goalie half of step in there yet again for a short handed goal. tended to discard all after that but the substitution didn't help of the golf and then again and used in schools in three minutes of each other for a nice incompleted a hat trick to get the hosts and six in the lead with over half the game to play well they need to come in in netted a consolation for scott well two men up but it's still a breeze into their maiden final which they believe will be tough regardless of the way. both teams are extremely strong. great season the.

series will be a bit surreal belongs in the previous round so. it doesn't really give. letting on to european football where holders barcelona and force i went as my munich us through to the semifinals of the champions league after both came home victories in the second leg it was all it scored twice in the german giants beat marsay to feel to go through four nil on while in already scored two controversial penalties is the author ac milan three one zero pass a line a coach pep guardiola the referee decisions right. then they were penalties it happened to us during the first leg on t.v. it looked like him since i can see little else about it when a player catches you in the penalty and the referee blows the whistle sometimes they don't know when a player is holding the surety of an element in the area that he must be sanctioned for barcelona when expats are the chelsea or benfica who play their second leg at

stamford bridge this wednesday the blues hold a one nil away goal advantage and have hit form on the head like a manager about the di matteo i talian remains cautious. in the i mean these ties fought a lot but they have scored in every away goal in this chair bits of the. season so we know our day it's a difficult task ahead for us tomorrow night and we have to approach this game like like they're not really doing. well then feed you need a victory but only twice in champions league history has a team recovered from losing the first leg of home to win the time i watch the portuguese side have lost only once away this campaign and we're taking to chelsea . still prefer to wish a career yes of course there were a goal siren important and we're going to approach this game by being fancy obviously we need to play as a team we need to score to progress that's all good it's like i said we're going to

play an offensive game taking game and i'm sure we can take the game to chelsea. however only a disaster could prevent rail madrid from playing by you know in the last four or nine time european. champions host minnows up well after winning three nil in cyprus in the first leg the legal leaders have only conceded three goals in a match twice this season against arch rivals barcelona but trail coach doesn't really know still targets victory. or that this is a champions match we had a very good result not everybody can expect the win here but football is football we have to respect football we have to respect our fans who want a good game so i'm going to make very few changes we're going to play with a really strong team. now not every russian football fan can go to poland and ukraine this summer to what she wrote twenty twelve so for the first time in a decade big screens will go up across the country to show all the games found

zones will be set up in moscow st petersburg and find other cities where supporters can watch every game championships well the zones will also be in place the london olympics in the day about the sporting activities for the kids and during evening matches but the beer on sale for the adults from a russian before that looks nice but in the zones will have a great atmosphere among men on travelling fans but of course most logical what a fan wants to watch a football match they want to get with friends normally to a camp can cheer on their team which is part of the this summer i'd recommend supporters country fans own seat in the stands and feel like a class of reaction or i think this is a better alternative to actually being in poland and ukraine some originals now going on to golf and with a day to go until the start of the year's first major of the masters world number two rory mcilroy has been out on the augustus course where he suffered a nightmare collapse in the final round last year the twenty two year old northern irishman blew a four shot lead on the final day but says he learned from that bitter experience after that mother he went on to win the u.s.

open and thinks his new found mental toughness will give him a real chance to win the green jacket on sunday. you know as i said it was just great to be back obviously you're the first i'm afraid of talking last week you know obviously there's no reason to come back and remember that you probably don't want to. it's fine you know i got i got that all of the way and you know just looking forward to this week i'm looking forward to trying to put myself in contention the to try and win this thing. and also raring to go is tiger woods the american has regains top form and is the favorite to clinch his fifteenth major title and first since the u.s. open in two thousand and eight the thirty six year old ended his thirteen month down streak on the p.g.a. tour last month winning the arnold palmer invitational by five strokes to break back into the world's top ten says that. it wasn't like it was easy in the scores were pretty high and. to go out there with the lead and. increase the lead. was it was

a good feeling the way i got my own part although it was felt like i went out there and earn the win. boxing and russia's top cruiserweights denise lever their faces a test of the on line this wednesday evening as he begins the defense of his w.p.a. interim title against shaun cox when all bade us both weighed in on cheers they would love it at heart a killing last november's fight against james tiny but the russian was still four hundred pounds lighter than his next opponent well lesser known cox based a solid record of sixteen wins from seventeen bats though ringside who better known stars such as reuters tina brown finds and director sora negatives trainer and former champion costas who says fans can expect the unexpected. fish from the water will like information about him but it's ok we'll make adjustments in the first rounds and as usual my plan for the five is to make there is unpredictable for his opponent. and finally russia's wrestlers are bidding for places at the london

olympics and the recent freestyle domestic championships here in moscow are in some way to deciding who make it trying to go once records. this year russia's freestyle wrestling champion should held a special importance the result of this conversation along with the other major events will provide the basis for team russia just to lead the country struggles in this summer's olympic games in london and despite the fact russia still hasn't got a link licenses into weight categories out of the for the coaching staff confidence the situation is going to change before too long yes or. no i don't think there's a real threat that we won't have our athletes in any weight divisions over in london we're going to fight for the silverware in all possible categories of them almost as though you're at the event in the mostly region russia's news champions in all only equates with determined taking full advantage of the team leader larisa

since the and if forty eight killers class so young tell and step into the fore as a result twenty year old and. the father of a plane has first domestic gold. in the final the under fifty five he was title holder was contested by some of the strongest competitors around at the moment. but there is full of. twenty was facing the church on european bronze medalist marriott. and the youngsters triumph in straight rounds was not totally unexpected but had dominance was a little bit surprising as it was very hard to win him to be honest the best athletes are here but when you take part in such a tournament it can hardly be a different expression if it's part of a limping game selection was the and to sixty k. category twenty eleven runner up in us this year braccio a christian strong for ricky and jennifer mentor as she claimed the first two rounds of the final in pulpit in fashion while the most highly anticipated bouts of

the day was the one between world championship silver medalist gets written a book at the three time youth world champion. and this and the seventy two kilograms final lead up to expectation aggressive style and her an early leads in the opening rounds however it didn't last its full length as her opponent was pinned to the net much to the ration of the stick sates is. not at all as i didn't expect the final to go the way he did but it's wrestling you know and of course i'm very very happy to mean here despite the fact that the names of the athletes will represent russia the twenty twelve olympics and that no one gets a country strongest wrestlers step up into the final part of their group gratian but the only thing is already certain everybody is common they will get to perform a delimits of their abilities in london in four months time a chunk of variance r.c. . i think.
