here and live in my house for a week. i have no rights. to. welcome back you're with r t here is a look at the top stories of massive syrian military forces allegedly preparing a final assault to crush the defined rebel stronghold in aleppo the city has seen sporadic fighting in shelling over the past week with insurgents claiming to hold more than half of its districts. the trial of the female punk group pussy riot and her is its second week with the fans expected to continue making its case three women are facing up to seven years in prison after pulling an anti-abortion stunt and russia's main orthodox cathedral. a year since the last dog this destructive

bride said london ablaze man i believe the issues that so far the unrest have yet to be addressed blunders feel unemployment and abiding hysterical because it would be at any time. now the most sophisticated rover announces ever sent to mars a lands and sends back images from the red planet the craft stuff with cutting edge equipment including a russian hydrogen and water detector which will help discover whether a wife on mars is possible. well next in our interview with u.s. congressman dana rohrabacher who has some strong criticism of washington's foreign policy especially towards china. we are sitting down congressman dana rohrbacher u.s. representative from california forty sixth district also a former official with president reagan's administration congressman thank you so

much for sitting down with us i want to focus today on some foreign policy issues so let's start right away with china i know you've been a staunch critic of the way the u.s. relationship with china has evolved how would you rate that relationship today well we're getting our just rewards for having those stupid policy we have built china into a major economic power without demanding any type of political reforms we've given the most favored nation status when we want a free trade we permitted them to steal our technology they get away with murder quite literally economically or figures or really economically but quite literally . you know in reality when they're murdering dissidents and taking the people religious dissenters like the falun gong and throwing them in their prison so what we've got is we've created a monster what was a very weak country before we are permitted to build into

a massive economic power with the course are a lot of our own industrial leaders making a profit by doing that well i was just about to say you know along those lines china was only one of a handful of countries actually exempt from u.s. sanctions these are countries who were importing crude oil from iran china doing that but was exempt why is that why you know these policies how do they benefit the u.s. well i think it's. it is a horrible double standard that we have what. we have heaped on russia all kinds of requirements and restrictions and mandates if they're going to get anything. you know if it's the repeal of jackson van eyck which should have been done twenty years ago which less most favored nation status while china has had no liberalization at all and russia's had enormous liberalization their churches are fold aoun you have opposition groups in opposition papers in russia you've got

nothing like that in china whatsoever but let's be honest china has in many cases taken up the debt of the u.s. has come to lend it helping hand i'm always ready to mouth but also to be very aware that we bend over backwards for these people before they had our debt we have we are the ones who created them into an economic power and which they could. loan money back to the united states so it is there are there is a certain member of big business that in this country who have profited greatly by the china trade the average working people have lost out greatly because the jobs that they should have in manufacturing have gone over to china and the technology that they paid for in their taxes the r. and d. has gone to china for free who specifically has benefited in this country well you've got some very big businesses of established manufacturing units in china and they do so thinking that they're going to go for my ten percent profit to

a twenty percent profit well in the long run. the people who own the stock it. lose out because the chinese confiscate some of the properties over there and our own working people because they lose manufacturing jobs and then there's maybe the c.e.o. puts a couple million dollars in his pocket as a bonus and then after a year or two faves away even though the long term result has been catastrophic for for his company what is your concern if these policies continue are you worried that it could have a negative impact on the u.s. i think it to be a negative impact on the whole world to have the world's. worse human rights abuse are which china is. to have enormous economic power and transferring that to military power and i think you will find that china is becoming is already becoming much more aggressive than it was twenty years ago and i think you'll find that

places whether it's russia will find for example that china will start making claims again to territories that were taken at the time of the czars from china china now claims all of the south china sea they claim huge areas in the india that's the size of texas this is a regime that's made arrogant land claims and i might say frightening lie and claim land land claims because if they try to move forward based on those claims all bees will come close to a war and i think russia and all the other countries surrounding china had better start thinking about the future and realizing when as they gets more powerful it's going to become a much greater threat to them let's switch over to afghanistan i know you recently had a trip planned there president karzai thought ah congressman rohrabacher is not welcome here what had you planned to do when you went and why do you think president hard i

don't want to see you well president karzai is a stooge of the pakistanis all right he is their boy in afghanistan and by the way our state department. just kisses up the pakistanis and has been doing so for the last thirty years which is one of the major reasons we've had problems down there but isn't that one of the major reasons that that the u.s. needs to do that is to keep the borders open to be able to get you know the flow of goods to afghanistan where the troops. who wants to be in afghanistan i mean why should anybody the russians should understand how that that is a rotten place for people to station their foreign troops. they're not going to make any friends and the afghans traditionally when they open their eyes and they see foreign troops around them they say i don't like them and i don't want them here in my country and. what we've god is afghanistan has been manipulated policy has been really really manipulated by pakistan and i think that

my recognition that the government that this was a stablished after nine eleven and afghanistan does not reflect. the values of the afghan people themselves and so it's a totally different structure it's a centralized system where afghans demand more centralized authority in their village and tribal leaders and karzai of course has no basis support so as i'm pointing those things out and the fact that he's so tied into the pakistanis. cars i didn't want me around so he exercised is just to be clear you think that you the u.s. should not be in afghanistan at all i think that right now we should get our butts out of afghanistan as quickly as we can so that as few americans are lose their lives in afghanistan as is as as possible if you

have some perspective on this i know that you you know when you worked with reagan back in the late and play eighty four in afghanistan against you or whoever watching from russian t.v. i mean i i think that i was there with the mujahideen and where you also said the taliban wanted to form and wanted to establish a disciplined moral society what happened. now that quote what happened was i was opposing the taleban every step of the way and the taliban were not the mujahideen who defeated the soviet union the tell about a creation of pakistan's military intelligence so so you cannot support the taliban and never. never but there's a couple two or three quotes that have come out. because i was opposing them and then it was a fait accompli they took over kabul and i tried to put. the most hopeful about clothes as they could be out for two or three weeks and then the back of the

taliban started acting the way i always knew they would oppose them every step of the way they got power i tried to put the best face on it for a couple weeks but after that i went to work in the one nine hundred ninety s. creating the coalition against the taliban based on the king of afghanistan and what later became the northern alliance so all of this nonsense about according to interviews i did and was trying to be optimistic but it didn't turn out things change certainly as far as afghanistan goes i mean you said that we should get our butts out as fast as possible a lot of people are starting to be concerned that when if and when that happens there's just going to be a crazy ridiculous civil war that all the factions are already preparing us and reporting on this are ready preparing their training they're putting up weapons and then it's going to be back to you know the soviet. afghanistan and has a very. decent lives culture and decentralized system of

power and they have ethics. groups that have lived next to one another for centuries and the ethnic groups of know they have to have be have arms because they call them warlords but in fact what they are armed ethnic leaders who protect their people from attacks from other ethnic groups that's why it's been for century after century after century so there's nothing wrong with these people having arms they always will that's their culture but what's happened is that you have pakistan trying to working through an alliance with one ethnic group the push to trying to. and all of afghanistan that's what the taliban were all about wouldn't tell them to go over kabul thirty thousand of these quote taliban were actually pakistani troops dressed up as taliban and yeah if when the united states leaves the most important thing is that those people who have opposed the are not left vulnerable and we can

do that we can do that very easily could make sure that. we do not leave for example we can work with those in the northern alliance that defeated the taliban originally and make sure they can defend themselves. and in iraq are from california forty six and that's right. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else and you hear or see some other part of it and realized everything you thought

you don't know i'm sorry welcome to the big picture. new to the fashionable side. radioactive fallout of government betrayal of the government. and law and lauded

and claude how can the truth be revealed if there's no official evidence there was into a very bright day to the servicemen concerned who were given no proper protection and to the people of this country generally because of radio like the full. the secrets of the u.k.'s nuclear tests x. .

a mass of syrian military forces allegedly preparing a final assault to crush the defined rebel stronghold in aleppo the city is seen sporadic fighting in shelling over the past week with the insurgents claiming to hold more than half of its districts. the trial of female punk group pussy riot anders its second week with the fans expected to continue making its case three women are facing up to seven years in prison after pulling an anti porton stand and russia's main orthodox cathedral. here since last august destructive riots said london a blaze many believe the issues that sparked young breast have yet to be addressed when the nurse feel unemployment and blinding hysteria could cause and repeat any

first gold in london twenty eleven world champion among the last soft clinching top spot in the seventy four kilogram category elsewhere that was a silver and five bronze for the country's athletes former reports. rush's wrestlers came to their countries rescue in beijing four years ago with six gold medals and now here in london they have created another allin pick champion roman blastoff winning gold in greco-roman seventy four kilogram category beating armenia's ass and on points to add to his world title before that russian minion semenov took bronze in the fifty five kilogram section so not a bad day on the mat overall russian now have four gold medals it might not sound like an awful lot with just a week to go but russian olympic chiefs remain calm and confident. everything is going according to our medal at the same stage in beijing we had five gold and twenty three medals overall so the results are pretty much the same four

years ago we had twenty three gold medals by the end of the games so our aim is to gain at least as many again while russia did come within touching distance of another gold medal weightlifter tatiana broke our own world record in the snatch to lead the women's over seventy five kilogram competition but china is losing then setting a limpid record in the clean and jerk to claim the gold by a single kilogram. but elsewhere the bronze medals were floating in tatiana patro he came third in the women's marathon pesci got on the podium in the women's vote in artistic you nasty x. and then his album hands in took a bronze in the men's four exercise while up at wimbledon russia got a bronze in the women's doubles maria kirilenko and coming away with a medal after beating americans and these arraignment however it isn't all good news poor performances have seen head coaches resign in fencing and shooting igor's relativity of quitting after the shooters picked up just

a bronze during the howl of the games and former olympic fencing champ pavlovitch also threw in the towel after his squad failed to win a gold although the silver medalist severe has a. him to stay. sharp i think it's a permit your decision the head coach was just emotionally overwhelmed when he decided to quit and hopefully there will be some negotiations and he'll stay the team's performed well especially the full team probably the results didn't meet expectations so heads have rolled but world records have also fallen and russia's wrestlers have picked up from where they left off at the last olympics you have to remember that traditionally russia always does well in the latter part of these games and a very early signs are that could be the case again andrey farmer. london. it's sweeter because you dieted me the words of you saying both after the sprint sensation successfully defended his one hundred meters and the crown on sunday
