punk group pussy riot and urged secondly with the fans expected to continue making its case the three women are facing up to seven years in prison after a point in time boredom stunned and russia's main orthodox cathedral. a year since last august destructive riots said one to the blaze man i believe the issues that sparked the empress have yet to be addressed one on earth fiona boyd and the body is dirty could cause a repeat at any time. all next on our t.v. our interview with u.s. congressman dana rohrabacher has some strong criticism of washington's foreign policy especially towards china. we're 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 to any type of political reforms we've given the most favored nation status one will free trade we permitted them to steal our technology they get away with murder quite literally economically or figuratively 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 the 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 of 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 who've established manufacturing units in china

and they do so thinking that they're going to go from my ten percent profit to a twenty percent profit well in the long run. the people who own the stock get it so 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 fades 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 lying claim flat land claims because if they try to move forward based on those claims obie's 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 it 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 it one of the major reasons 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 would 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 his prerogative so 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 night plane eighty four in afghanistan against you or as it was over watching from russian t.v. i mean i i think that i was there with the mujahideen and were you also said the taliban wanted to form and wanted to establish a disciplined moral society what happens but 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 the the tell about a creation of pakistan's military intelligence so you can not 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 i had opposed 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. wise culture and decentralized system of power and they have ethnics. groups that have lived next to one another for centuries and the up the 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 and took over kabul thirty thousand of these quote taliban were actually pakistani troops dressed up as taleban and yeah if when the united states leaves the most

important thing is that those people who have opposed the telly 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 all right congressman dana rohrabacher from california forty six thanks and that's right. radioactive government betrayal. and

claude and claude how can the truth be revealed if there's no official evidence there was a very great danger to the service make a search given no problem protection and to the people of this country generally because of radio like the fall of. the secrets of the tests.

russia's main orthodox christian for. a year or since last august destructive ride so long that employees many believe the issues that sparked the unrest have yet to be addressed on the nurse field unemployment and by the sterett a good cause i repeat at a time. now straight to the world of sports and yet it is a bearer of good news at last and now a gold for team russia and the one that indeed it's taken a few days but again only this time not in judo the one three golds in judo but in greco-roman wrestling number four coming on so. in the evening and also i mean the days are packed there are the olympics and intriguing battle developing in russian football yes right we have the latest from the russian premier league as well as moscow versus in petersburg is a neat first as both a top of the table much more not coming up right now.

thanks for joining us this is for today and we have plenty ahead few of the next ten minutes or so including the stories and brief. finish ressler room on the last soft claims russia's fourth gold medal at the olympic games. fastest man on earth again you seen bold wins the most anticipated event at the games the men's one hundred meters retaining his olympic title in the process. on capital gains the first moscow darby of the russian premier league season since sparked a. no other place to start but the olympics of course were team russia have claimed their fourth goal to in london wrestler soft clinching top spot in the greco-roman seventy four kilogram category elsewhere that was

a silver five bronze for the country's athletes under former reports. brushes wrestlers came to their countries rescue in beijing four years ago with six gold medals and now here in london they have created another elim 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 seven of 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 plan 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 but he came third in the women's marathon maria pesca got on the podium in the women's vote in artistic gymnastics and then his album hands in took a bronze in the men's floor 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 or 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 whole 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 syfy of the league has a. him to stay. i think it's a permit change decision the head coach was just emotionally overwhelmed when he decided to quit hopefully there will be some negotiations and she'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 i'm rush's dresses have picked up 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 in a very early signs are not complete a case again and three pharma. london it's sweeter because you darted made the words of the same boat after the spring sincere and successfully defended his one hundred meters a limp a crown on sunday evening the most anticipated event the games just build. versus the united states bolton can potter do on blake aiming to show their superiority

over the u.s. pairing of just gatland and tyson gay and despite a less than stellar start it was bold to blitz the cross the line and on a limb pick record time of nine point six three seconds takes over the counting house or the four year bond we're talking six. i came here thirty five my legend my legend c. and i started out good stuff happy myself now know how to push on people converse gotta work hard what is this whole london experience mean to you it's a great experience for me it's wonderful crowd is just amazing i knew was going to be all about when you were a car my name i could be your what you were thing to be the energy there i was just wonderful. earlier in the day that was the life for tennis player on the murray the team g.b. member winning gold after sweeping aside roger federer in straight sets six two six one six where we match of the wimbledon final just federer won the seventeenth day but it will start murray and ruptures this. the upset in the bronze medal match

up to it argentina won that martin del potro beating novak djokovic in straight sets seven five six four clearly showing no ill effects of this record breaking martin semifinal defeat to federer. but weekend for three no williams meanwhile the day after becoming singles champion williams along with sister venus secured the women's doubles title winning checks and all but over on the scene of a decade in st. louis plenty of success on the mat over the last few days but the same can't be said in the pool for team russia instead it's the americans who dominated the swimming podiums in london richard from port fleet has more. america's dominance in the swimming pool has been clear for all to see sixteen golds and a total of thirty medals overall rusher in comparison only able to come home with a couple of silvers and bronzes rushes on to see is who ever claimed a second place finish in the women's two hundred metres backstroke believes america's approach gives them

a key advantage. when you get out and go to the american swim is amazing they're just so confident they're always laughing and joking amongst themselves and not for one minute what you think that they have an important final in just a few minutes this approach is just fantastic as they're always so relaxed going into a big race i wish i was as relaxed. only a hundred of his comments seem to be backed up by legendary swimmer michael phelps there's one an incredible eighteen olympic gold medals i'm a twenty seven year old stated there's a constant desire within the american camp to improve as an american and we. just do whatever you know we train as hard as we can to make sure we stay on this you know obviously you know the people of a major changes and you know ryan's made changes both in and out of order to make himself strong faster and then you know missy is has you know thought out her events and you know try to play about her routine and. i think it's more that

we're always thinking about it we're always trying to be the best that we care however it's not just the americans relaxed attitude in the poll which gives them a massive advantage according to it's a competitive nature of swimming in the usa which sets from a parts of the u.s. but we don't have a college system set up in russia tool there's a good children's program and adult system in place but there is nothing in between in the u.s. everything is so different missy franklin is only seventeen years old while the girl who won the eight hundred meters katie diski is even younger just fifteen even though they're so young they have no fear what the lack of competition for russia's top swimmers is clearly evident as they really challenge the squad is almost exactly the same as one of the competed in beijing or something but surely the laments. you know that state of god that over the last four years i could count the number of new swimmers are not team on one hand the americans and chinese have

completely new squads and i don't even know the majority of their names they have such great strength in depth. america's dominance of spain phenomenal and it's evident russia need to make drastic changes to their setup if they're even going to have a chance of competing with such a dominant force in the future richard d'arcy london. whatever is a neat can do sports to that seems to be the message coming from the moscow side after they went joint top of the russian premier league on sunday sparked a troubling to city rivals de namo in the day after two wins in their opening couple of games and after a cagey opening period the game flew into life twenty three minutes in the new york village enough hitting the back of the net after some lackluster goalkeeping spartak getting the attacking bug after that new manager unite emery seeing his charges fire him three more times in the second round

a brilliant free kick from nicklaus for four minutes after the break was then followed by a superb move on finish by john know the icing on the cake coming right out the death row feel for you picking his spot for a full final scoreline so sports like move alongside reigning champions need to up the summit both with three wins from three while genomics they rooted to the bottom without even a single. g. also looking solid in the league so far a winner round car on the day the seventh. despite having one thousand nine hundred with star talent it was the summary you already got the love for you and decide to spend my last six third of. sunday's only other game clearly something out of came from behind a big two one and moved into the top half with. a constant positive for team russia at the games has been in judo three gold one

silver and one bronze medal putting them on top of the sport in london on the stars have now arrived back in the russian capital saying they hope their success can act as a springboard for other athletes in action this week. i'm going to lose that is a historical achievement for russian judicial. we are very proud to be the first applets to win this medals at the olympics and hopefully help our country mates do better in other sports. for me personally the success of our judith's he means a lot especially in terms of bringing the spall to the masses i really really hope that after these olympic games many keys in russia will start practicing judo so i'm not his only thought whether it's next year in twenty four hour r.t. .
