shapes and sensors the movies you claim that the pentagon selectively supported some movies and some filmmakers and that the way it is 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 though assist you with your movie then you can the great you access to aircraft carriers and submarines and tanks 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 speech 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 help you with tax payer funded equipment and if you don't play ball they won't help here. but these are just b.s. is it just movies is just a form of entertainment why is 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 of 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 great everybody is a long long list of credits at the very end they'll be a little things saying we great feeling gratefully acknowledge the cooperation of the u.s. . 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 plane chua's 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 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 thais by the military and then prescreened for the for the wash in washington for the generals and admirals that they would be outraged so what kind of scripts for approved by the military and why the 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 target children because they are the future recruits and there's. a great example letter that my book is based on thousands of pages of the pentagon's notes and to the producers and their own internal documents talking about how they're wanting to influence the the 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 the 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 they 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 what are the benefits of such cooperation 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 have not been made because they couldn't get this insistence from the military can you name a new popular a sample south popular movies that went through the military control before they were actually filmed james bond golden eye. 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 had mostly changed it to

a french admiral 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 they actually in the film it's a canadian hollywood filmmakers who are just given access to classified information concerning the ben ladan s.s. nation what do you think of 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 correspondence between the military and the producers i haven't seen those notes i don't think anybody's 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 the problem is

when there's a deal made behind the backs of the american people in violation of the constitution and american law that's what i object. how do you think this long term collaboration between the padding on and hollywood a fact of the minds of the americans when the american people are seeing hundreds and hundreds of films and television shows that have been senators 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. no . with the end of the boer war and the going away of the soviet union many people

thought that nuclear weapons disappeared. the risk is not zero that something might be going off by mistake especially a lot of nuclear weapons on hair trigger alert. purpose of a difference to use it. all as an actual grip and you know if you keep spending a trillion dollars a year on weapons of venture 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 know through weapons or a bill. that represents all of the firepower of the second world war and this second sound is the equivalent firepower of the world's nuclear arsenal today. there hasn't been anything good on t.v. . it is to get the maximum political impact.

warm up matches and the final warm up match could be gratefully free meal which is a really big confidence boost for the team and that it really in relaxed mood since they've landed in warsaw and traveled here down here are all slow of the game itself in the rush of a really dominated from around the fifteen minute mark didn't start to well after they really took a stranglehold of a game the attacking trio of under their charge in islands a go 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 money and they go to up later in the first half of the czechs did manage to pull a goal 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 self who was suffering from bit of a growing 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 of the 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 especially a fantastic atmosphere here in warsaw but certainly this russian team showed the cards said in the lead up to russia on really want to favorites to win the whole of veins but certainly in the showing a lot of a bigger nations the likes of germany the netherlands spain they'll be taking those shifts of this russian side especially the attacking prowess that russia has through the lines of it's a good way of. publishing can especially i'm going to charlotte in i mean a child and he received a lot of stick really when he was at arsenal were in 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 cats he's kept in and really just how is my . has returned to form so all in all

a fantastic result for russia to get this year as two thousand and twelve campaign to the best possible starts. which about four feet there meanwhile the other group a clash which opened the tournaments in warsaw finished all square coups poland drawing one one with greece the first half an old polish furball it was the greeks really should have not all three points and the second time off the two thousand and four winners left a really missed penalty calling arsenal goalkeeper voice checks to chesney's sending. 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 dida favorable result on choose the against poland will all but guarantee them lost a football the co-host 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. but plenty more action before june twelfth saturday today sees the still able 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 a partridge has the preview now from ukraine. where harry live up 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 hero two thousand and twelve three time winners germany will take on two thousand and four pinus portugal in the second match of group b. the so-called. germany were one of the pre-tournament favorites and have the best european culture record of all the countries taking part at euro two thousand and twelve as well as winning the trophy three times they'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 they can live 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 for 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 flic 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 are 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 et al 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 greek people rolling while a potential thirty thousand. in the divorce arena plus thousands more in the city's fan zone as well as millions worldwide will be anticipating a clash of the titans a partridge arty novel of 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 and wedding 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. but 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 force at last the federal. government's joke which occurring the first set six four to set the tone for the encounter federer would take a five four seconds then serve lived up to his number one ranking six four seven five six three the final score brokerage thus they're on track to become the first men's player in forty three years to win four consecutive meet. who was the best match of two thousand and twelve wrong girls 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 final you know it will be played well you know tough conditions. yeah and i was unable to sustain. maybe a solid enough game today against. coming up on a rough also has a chance to make history after thrashing fellow spaniard down for rough 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 mcilroy in the gulf in greens but the northern irishman has a blast that 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 shooting a five hundred sixty five in tennessee after being three of his final shots right

on friday much ng his lowest p.g.a. tour run this year and also propelled him into the weekend after missing the cut his last vence no less a trio sits second just a stroke off the leader and six the informed you off jeff my guest 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 served to catch up the latest stage all of the formula one calendar the mclaren driver facets in both practice sessions ahead of sunday's canadian grand prix a closely run thing though in montreal a briton having rory on the lawn so 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. is indicative really of the topsy turvy season to date with six different winners from the first six. all your sport or whether it's next paul
