a so-called threat to national security are g.'s reporter investigates what's really behind the motion and what kind of consequences he could possibly face. with normally in the filmmaking process script changes are made all the time but few realize it's the pentagon frequently calling the shots next hour he talks to writer and former journalist for the daily variety and the hollywood reporter they even rob he shares his thoughts and chance lie on the approval process. with mays david rabbit a veteran hollywood journalist and he has been nominated for the pulitzer price three times in one of his books he takes his readers behind the scenes during the making of many well known movies in hollywood and also we reels deep connections between the pentagon and hollywood thank you very much for joining me here today thank you medina's my pleasure and your book operation hollywood how the pentagon

shapes and censors the movies you claim that the pentagon selectively supported some movies and some filmmakers and that the way it has done is unconstitutional why do you think so the pentagon admits that they do selectively support some filmmakers and not others if you are willing to give your script to the pentagon and let them review it before you shoot the movie and if they have any changes that they want to make if they want to take out a portrayal of the military that they think is negative that will hurt their recruiting goals. if they want that taken out and you agree that you'll take that out or to put in something that's more positive to help them recruit people then they'll assist you with your movie then you can get the great you access to aircraft carriers and submarines and takes and ships and planes and if you don't

play ball with them they won't give you that stuff it's unconstitutional because the supreme court has ruled over and over and over again that. the first amendment states that. congress shall make no. so make no law abridging the freedom of speach. the supreme court has ruled that that means that the government cannot favor one form of speech over another and that's exactly what the pentagon does if you say what they want you to say the hope you with tax payer funded equipment and if you don't play ball they won't help you but these are just b.s. is it just movies this is just going to taint why's it that important it's a form of speech and that's what the constitution protects government interference in the government can't give you tax breaks by saying nice things about them. movies or our form of speech just like a book if a book if people thought that their newspapers or our books are being sent it has

by the military if the military was telling book writers or newspapers what to take in and want to take out of their scripts people be outraged why do you think so few people are aware of the situation at the end of every movie at the very bottom of the ball the credits pass all the the music and all the actors and all the drugs everybody is a long long list of credits at the very end they'll be a little things thing we great feeling gratefully acknowledge the cooperation of the us. army or air force and that's the only way you'll know that this is happening to the movie you just watched so you mention in their book that there was a link between the pentagon and hollywood and that link was the film liaison office so why did that office do well right here in los angeles a few miles from the u.c.l.a. campus there's a tall building on one entire floor as the film liaison offices of the marine corps air force army navy and the coast guard and they are. i sit up there and they and

filmmakers who want military assistance give them their scripts they look at the scripts they mark out what they think is they don't want and make suggestions on how to change the scripts to get approval then if they make a deal they sign a contract then once they start shooting the film they have a military minder who actually comes on to the set to make sure that it's shot just the way it was agreed to be done and then before it's released to the public it has to be screened in washington d.c. for the generals and admirals i think the american people knew that their films were being sent to ties by the military and then prescreened for the for the. in washington for the generals and admirals that they would be outraged so what kind of scripts for approved by the military and what kind of scripts were blocked they want films and television shows that will aid in the recruiting and retention of

military personnel they want people to see a movie and to be inspired by the heroics and join up and join the military and if a film negatively portrays anyone in the military they consider that not helping their recruiting goals so they will not help any picture that shows war crimes shows military people doing bad things drunk cursing you mentioned that they target children they really do they they target children because they are the future recruits and there's. a great example letter my book is based on thousands of pages of the pentagon's notes to the producers and their own internal documents talking about how they're wanting to influence the. filmmaking. one of the notes was written from an air force. colonel to the producers of the

the film the right stuff which is about their early days of the american space program the colonel told the producer of this picture the it was based on a book by tom wolfe which was filled with lots of cussing very funny very colorful book but the military didn't want that and the colonel wrote the obscene language jews did seems to guarantee an r. rating distributed as an art cuts down on the teenage audience which is a prime one to the military services when a recruiting goals are considered so they change the script in accordance with what the military want and they they took out a bunch of the city and they got a a g. rating and then. actually got a p.g. rating right and then they got the target they got the target audience the by changing the script and so everybody was happy whatever benefits such cooperation are for hollywood what hollywood wants which is cheap access to really

expensive military weaponry and hardware and personnel and hollywood has what the pentagon wants which is an audience millions of eyeballs looking at their their movie and thinking positively about the military of course filmmakers have the right to say no they can certainly say no i'm not going to do and many have done that many many filmmakers of didn't have any and said no i'm not going to do and they made their own movies or in some cases they weren't able to make the movies and many films and not been made because they couldn't get this insistence from the military can you in naming popular name them both off popular movies that went through the military control before they were actually filmed james bond golden eye. the. one of the dupes in the film was american admiral and the milage is a no will help you but you have to change the nationality at most they changed it

to a french enron but then later they wanted to go to they went to france to actually shoot the picture. and the friend said well you want some of our stuff will help you but you got to switch the the admiral to something else so the actually in the film it's a canadian hollywood filmmakers were just given access to classified information concerning the bin laden s s nation what do you think of that well when i was interviewing the for the book the producers of the films they would always say oh no we didn't give any trade off the only way you can really tell is by seeing the notes the producers and the exchange of course spies train the the military and the producers i haven't seen those notes and i think anybody seen those notes i don't know if there's been a trade off or there was no trade off i don't have a problem with that the government wants to just release information to people and

there's no quid pro quo there's no deal i think that's fine but is it's the problem is when there's a deal made behind the backs of the american people in violation of the constitution american law that's what i object to how do you think this long term collaboration between the padding on and hollywood a fact at the minds of the americans when the american people are seeing hundreds and hundreds of films and television shows that have been sanitized by the military and to make military seem more heroic than it really is and never wrong and always good that this creates a false image in the american people's mind and i think it's helped make the american people a more warlike people thank you. thank you. and three.

with the end of the boer war and the going away of the soviet union many people thought that nuclear weapons disappeared from the risk is not zero that something might be going off by mistake especially of the nuclear weapons on hair trigger alert. purpose of a difference to use it as a threat all as an actual weapon you know if you keep spending a trillion dollars a year on weapons of benchley you're going to blow everybody up you you know people are dying from these weapons but until we actually see it people don't wake up to nuclear weapons or a bill. that represents all the firepower of the second world war and this second sound is the equivalent firepower of the world's nuclear arsenal today.

preparations about three weeks ago played free warm up matches in that final warm up match for big italy which is a really big confidence boost for the team and it really in relaxed mood since that landed in warsaw and travelled to here down here of the game itself i mean russia of a really dominated from around the fifteen minute mark didn't start to well after they really took a stranglehold of the game the attacking trio of under their shot and islands ago of an alexander character called really causing offense no end of problems it was really no surprise but russia did eventually manage to open the scoring for about man as a go if i may go to up later in the first half of the czechs did manage to pull or go by but even intervention of roman public really did give the russians a boost and he provided the go over to seconds ago it would eventually go on to win the man of the match and it was not a change to him so he was suffering for bit of a grueling injury early in the week when he showed that he's back to full fitness

as he grabbed a fourth to get russia a fantastic start and some really big boost for dick out guardsmen have played so well in this march against the czech republic as we go into the rest of their games the next match of course being in poland on the twelfth of june which is a national holiday in russia and trying to get a spear in warsaw but certainly this russian team shown has said in the lead up that russia on really want to favorites to win the whole of veins but certainly showing a lot of a bigger nations the likes of germany the level in spain they'll be taking those shifts of this russian side especially be attacking prowess that russia has through the lines of it's a good way of. publishing going to specially i'm going to charlotte in the middle child and he received a lot of stick really when he was at arsenal where the year before played quite well for the national team during that time but today he really was sensational his movements his his direction of the ball is will to win was just fantastic and it's going to be a great boost obviously for de kalb the cat he's kept in and really how is. his

return to form so all in all a fantastic result for russia to get this year as two thousand and twelve campaign off to the best possible starts. which about four feet there and meanwhile the other group a clash which open the tournaments in warsaw finished all square coups poland drawing one one with greece the first half an all polish furball it was the greeks who really should have not all three points in this second time off the two thousand and four winners left to the missed penalty calling arsenal goalkeeper wojciech to chesney's sending off. so let's take a look at the group a table following the opening day's action russia putting themselves in prime position to take one of the two qualifying spots indeed a favorable result on choose the against poland will all but guaranteed them last state football the co-hosts themselves that will be striving to get off the bottom while the czechs on greece shall be in the market for their first win on june twelfth as well. but plenty more action before june twelfth saturday today sees the

so labelled group of death d. take center stage for european heavyweights are preparing to go head to head with the netherlands taking on denmark and then germany on portugal facing off cape partridge has the preview not from ukraine. we're here in liverpool which was the venue for the first ever officially recognized football match in what was poland is now ukraine that was in eighty ninety four and on saturday here right two thousand and twelve three time winners germany were take on two thousand and four pinus portugal in the second match of group b. so-called that day. germany were one of the pre-tournament favorites and have the best european correct order of all the countries taking part at euro two thousand and twelve as well as winning the trophy three times i've also been runners up three times and they're also a team in form after reaching the semifinals of the world cup in south africa they soon made up for that relative disappointment picking loves a side won all ten of their group a match is conceding just seven goals in the process and became the first team

through to the summer's finals however they were drawn in the difficult group they not only with tricky forge a goal but also nine hundred ninety two champions denmark plus the recent world cup runners up and assistant coach anstey to flick is targeting a vital opening victory as it's always important to win the first game especially in our group because the next games against the netherlands and denmark are going to be even more difficult despite there we believe that we're going to survive in the so-called group of death. in south africa germany had many players missing but this time their full strength influential midfielder bastian schweinsteiger returns after missing the final warm up friendly with israel due to a calf injury yet despite this and their impressive defensive record in qualifying flicky is not taking the portuguese attacking threat lightly. yesterday evening we started study in portugal and we pointed out how strong the portuguese team is especially in attack with nani and rinaldo there are two extraordinary players who

get always do something special in the game we have to be aware of this one portugal in possession in contrast the portuguese have never won the european title but have been twice beaten semifinalists and lost to surprise winners greece in the two thousand and four final yet despite having the services of that talismanic skipper christiane iran out there and nani along with pet a realm radish as well portugal's road to qualifying was also a bumpy one drawn in a five team group h. the portuguese started poorly during with cyprus and losing to norway which prompted the sacking of coach carlos queiroz palla bento took over and after then going unbeaten and finishing second they went through after beating bosnia herzegovina in the playoffs. well we know as you know that germany are a great attacking team with very few weak points there are very few moments in a game against them that you can benefit from one of their weaknesses but they occur in every game of football and then we have to be very quick and take our

chances. the late surge in qualifying was matched by the domestic former now though who is flick highlighted could prove pivotal the rail madrid star scored forty five goals in the legal last season as he helped lead los blancos to their first league title in four years and will be aiming to replicate this form on the european stage so with the first two matches of euro two thousand and twelve over in poland the attention switches to co-host ukraine the netherlands face denmark in kharkiv to get the group b. ball rolling while a potential thirty thousand feet. in the deval farina plus thousands more in the city's fan zone as well as millions worldwide will be anticipating a clash of the titans a partridge r.t. live off ukraine. and the atmosphere is indeed building in the ukrainian cultural capital of laval's the city dubbed the florence of the north lie seventy kilometers from the polish border and provide the venue for three matches in group b. as well as germany versus portugal the purpose but laval verena will host denmark

against portugal when stay in denmark and germany next weekend for those fans but much tickets the fans own smock buying in the historic city center is a lively plan b. you can watch the action partake in plenty of entertainment too before the main events. let's move on to tennis where novak djokovic sits one win away from his first ever french open crowd but means a career grand slam the serve dawning two thousand and nine when roger federer in the semifinals extending his winning streak to twenty seven straight matches in major events the twenty five year old avenging aforesaid loss to federer during last year semifinals at this joke which occurring the first set six four to set the tone for the encounter federer would take a five second serve lived up to his number one ranking six four seven five six three the final score talk which burst still on track to become the first men's player in forty three years to win a four consecutive meter. was the best match of two thousand and twelve wrong gross

for me so i raised. my game when i needed to i played really well was the most important so that's something that gives me confidence when you see before the finals i thought he played well you know tough conditions. and i was unable to sustain. maybe a solid enough game today i guess. coming up on a rough also has a chance to make history after thrashing fellow spaniard doubled for rougher barely breaking sweat in the six two six two six one semifinal victory which i put him one win away from an unprecedented seventh french. now it hasn't been the most memorable last couple of months for rory mako royal the golfing greens but the northern irishman has at last made the halfway cut of the p.g.a. event the reigning u.s. open champion returning to form in stunning friction up the sin jude classic mike

royko shooting a five hundred sixty five in tennessee after a birdie in three of his final words shots his right on friday marching his lowest p.g.a. tour run this year and also propelled him into the weekend after missing the cut his last event no less a trio second just a stroke off the leader and six the informed you off jeff my good j.b. holmes who is still working his way back from brain surgery last september our two . and finally lewis hamilton looks like he could be the speed of the catch at the latest stage all of the formula one calendar the mclaren driver fastness in both practice sessions ahead of sunday's canadian grand prix a closely run thing though in montreal britain having rory on the alonso who in turn just edged out his teammate for me said last week's winner monocle mark webber couldn't even manage a top ten p.c. slop indicative really of the topsy turvy season to date with six different winners
