system is often similar to the dictatorships washington wishes to bring down. my guest today is jill stein nominee for president of the united states with the green party thank you very much for joining me dr stein it's pretty to be with you can really really appreciate it thanks for coming i read you said you'd be the underdog candidate for the underdog boulder's who are these on the docket voters it's certainly most of the american public people are losing their jobs wages are declining millions have lost their home another million are in the pipeline to lose their homes this year the cost of health care is skyrocketing public higher education is increasingly out of reach we have thirty six million young people who are students or recent graduates who are effectively indentured servants because

they don't have the jobs or the wages to repave these unforgiving debts and the political establishment is not doing anything about it while a very small segment of the american population the one percent we say is making out like bandits so neither party is fixing this i just want to make this clear you're going to be on ballots but not in all states can you explain what is it in the system in the u.s. that makes it so hard for a third party to break into those two horse races exactly the american system is designed to eliminate political opposition like some of the you know dictatorships that we criticize that have rigged political systems in many ways the american system is also rigged but in ways that are not as straightforward so you

have to actually see what it takes to get on the ballot if you're not already on as one. the big machine parties each state has its own set of rules which are very demanding very detailed and bureaucratic and require a lot of signatures in order to get on the ballot so for the most part you need a lot of money many millions of dollars to buy your way on to the ballot basically by hiring signature gatherers and people to keep track of this is using names and that money is to powerful here in washington is there a way you see to go against money the power of money absolutely i mean the voters don't like this the voters repeatedly are calling for getting big money out of politics. in my home state in massachusetts we passed a law to get the big money out we do voters the supreme court and the other law

which it can and living all limits from contribution and invalid and what i was going to add was that in our state when we passed it by voter referendum the the legislature which was eighty five percent democratic party they repealed it you know so the entrenched system is is very hostile to the needs of the american people the green party often described itself as the party that represents main street versus wall street as you just been say in what way do barack obama and mitt romney represent wall street that is against the interests of the american people mitt romney doesn't really pretend even to do anything other than advance the economic elites agenda he has a track record which is to advance the likes of his own you know to acquire enormous amounts of wealth by tearing down other companies and businesses and

firing workers and offshoring jobs and gobbling up the profits himself so he's got a track record which is pretty clear and he's you know he's pretty much straight ahead wall street agenda with barack obama on the democratic party it's it's a little harder to see clearly what they're about because they do talk a populist line but to actually look at their record it's pretty clear who their allegiances are to so george bush provided about eight hundred billion in bailouts for wall street but under barack obama it's been many trillions some four and a half trillion dollars worth of bailout that has already been dispersed and then there are many more trillions worth of loans and emergency loans and. guarantees and then quantitative easing through the fed and all kinds of back doors to basically funnel either out in out bailouts or free money to to wall

street so mitt romney has wall street you know he's the wolf in a wolf's clothing barack obama that will finish and clothing but they both essentially have the same agenda. can you talk a little bit more about your involvement with the occupy movement has the movement been big enough to make sort of it took tonic shift in u.s. politics. i believe that that tectonic shift is happening and occupy is one of the indicators that it is happening and it's happening because one out of every two americans is now either in poverty or low income americans are really hurting and are desperate for foreigners for solutions which they are not getting so there is a rebellion that is in full swing occupy speaks for that rebellion

we saw in the polls early on that a majority of americans a substantial majority of americans was very sympathetic and supportive of the agenda that occupy was are but really i mean it's kind of a silent rebellion right exactly we are silenced you know i believe it is not silent but our voices are continually muzzled through all kinds of ways we can speak out politically the media is very much in the hands of big corporations congress' approval rating is eleven percent so it is people are unhappy but it's a silent by design right so that people have to work very hard to break through and occupy got to critical mass by assembling you know in our public squares and they were very effective in breaking through until the public relations campaign begin to be conducted against them and we saw that because that p.r. campaign actually got leaked it was

a many many hundreds of thousands of dollars campaign that was constructed even before the counterattack began so you had both a media counterattack and then you had a a counterattack by way of police brutality and the suppression of our civil liberties as people were brutally attacked of let's talk foreign policy but switch gears for many years now probably since the collapse of the soviet union every u.s. president. every administration took the idea of the you was being the wall police sort of to the next level president obama was no exception what is it what is it the basis of this wall to police policy as you see it and would you carry on with it as the president this world police policy is bankrupting americans we're spending about a trillion dollars a year on the military industrial security complex that budget has

roughly doubled over the last ten years and we are certainly not more secure for it we spent trillions of dollars in iraq. when we withdrew from iraq how did we do it we withdrew from iraq in the dead of night at a secret undisclosed date because we were afraid that we would be ambushed in the process how many friends exactly did we make in this war what kind of a stable democracy did we make in iraq you know iraq continues to teeter on the brink of a civil war it has certainly not become a staunch and reliable ally for the united states or for democracy or for women's rights for that matter the barrel of a gun has not been an effective diplomat and we need to heed that and take a lesson from it unfortunately president obama basically embraced george bush's you

know militaristic approach to foreign policy on his third day in office he intensified the bombing in pakistan then went on to spread the drone wars into somalia and into yemen he he surged the troops into afghanistan we still have about twice as many troops as we had under george bush it has certainly not made afghanistan a safer more secure place we are not in a better position to you know withdraw now and declare victory than we were you know years ago you know that when you have the kind of civilian casualties that you have with drone bombing for example that you would you simply aid and abet those very terrorist organizations that you are trying to go after in the first place what is it that makes you. concerned with regards to mitt romney's foreign policy plans if anything you know his plans are basically let's increase the military

budget you know i mean and. he you know he has a lot of sort of machismo in and bravado and he beats the war drum you know he wants to. really flex muscle against iran but you know so too does the obama administration though they're a little bit more their lesson warmongering about it but they're basically in agreement about coming down very hard on your iran and holding no options off the table so they they both threaten to use war where we should be using diplomacy we talked about money in politics and everyone knows campaigns are not cheap your position your net worth is probably far from mitt romney's two hundred million dollars your party is financing

a lost cause basically at this stage what is the goal the real goal at this stage in my view to say it's a lost cause is to say that our economy is a lost cause. you know it's to say that it's inevitable that we're going to crash and i don't mean that ok i mean the elections i would agree i mean i think that the the the uphill battle for our election is identical to the uphill battle to rescue our economy we are a real political party you know we're not just you know the store front that looks like it's main street but is actually funded by wall street that's what the other political parties are they they pretend to really have public support but what they really have is the support of the one percent and then they have a propaganda campaign going on and intensive public relations and psychological warfare that's intended to convince people that they don't have any options dr staying thank you very much for being here thank you it's great talking with you.

good leverage sure it. was easy to believe it's most sophisticated which will unfortunately doesn't do the doing about anything mission to teach religion and why it should care about humans in. this is why you should care what you only. get. your. forty acres and nineteen ninety three and decide it would be a great place to find my build a home and retire. there

new man a fresh plant all here his former foreign minister could replace kofi annan the u.n. envoy and try to revive the peace process and turbulent syria. firsthand report from the disturbing scene in central russia where a muslim sect kept almost thirty children in an eight story underground and they can tell without daylight for a decade. and gaza stand to lose their only in line flying to the outside world after war violence bronze age up to seal off a massive smuggling tunnel man who fell to the blockade and we try. to have lines of sports next with maytree. follow the sports on our teeth thanks for joining us this hour in the program.

making history at russia's sofia and. takes over in boxing as they both lose their respective final about. one minute forty two point nine one seconds can endeavor be she set a new world record in the men's eight hundred new cases. of the same ball retains his to proud of me telling the title. made just to make. it to the london games first why russia has moved up to the fourth place thanks to a mirror of victory in the women's wrestling she won the gold in the under seventy two category to become the first ever russian female olympic wrestling champion there are also two silver and bronze on day thirteen for russia he's richard put.

russia continue their steady progress of these olympics of a gold two silvers and a bronze to show for their efforts on day thirteen however things could have been so much different having have a little bit more skill and a little bit more luck on their side i want to tell you about the other one gold in the women's wrestling seventy two kilogram category which is only twenty one years old and produce a performance beyond her years to beat the vastly experienced and got to start over from bulgaria was actually a five time world champion so it looks as though natalia has a bright future ahead of her and she is and the russians want spare twelfth gold medal of these olympic games so far as a surprise bronze for russia in the men's double canoe with alex a kind of a shock of new year peter who can claim a final spot on the podium first place going to germany with better roots claiming the silver medal nevertheless for russians were delighted with their performance in the sport where their country really shines. a little though we wanted to produce the best result we possibly could. to see who was in front of us and who was behind

us we were just concentrating on doing what we had to do we had been working really hard for the last year or so and that paid off at these games as this was our first olympics and we were the youngest pay here so hope we can do even better at the games to come you know we missed the at the bureau in washington for them it was so near but yet so far for russia's women's boxers as they managed to claim two silver medals sufi a guy ever was second in the women's lightweight cancer green but lost out to iran tribal islands katie taylor claimed the gold and in fact taylor's unbeaten in six years but just lost by a couple of points there was another silver in the women's boxing for an idea of top power power she was outclassed by america's closest shields in fact only seventeen years old american really cruised to victory in that bouts pole to miss gold fair but it looks as though rushers rhythmic gymnasts will be returning to the top of the podium once again a lot of the opening day of competition there one and two in the individual program

of a also. topping the teen competition russia in fact won every single gold stands for sydney olympics in two thousand and former champion airports of inner says after day thirteen performance russia looks set to repeat this feat. just the ones i'm really pleased with how the girls performed today in their in first place they looked really confident there are no signs of nerves the this doesn't happen very often leave her competing at the world's biggest event they talons are currently in second which is a bit of a surprise for me that. we need any given time you never know what might happen just the way it meanwhile russia's women's basketball team crashed out of the tournament has been missed out of a place in a gold medal game after losing to france were eighty one points to sixty four of russians from our play australia for the bronze medal on friday where we turn of russia's man as andre to learn going to go up against spain for a place in the final for russia's men's volleyball team up against colby area with

when the going for it for gold medal game so plenty to look forward to in russia that man lived up to full place in the middle table but they're got a lot of work to do if they're going to catch britain are in third place but only three days of competition remaining. hopefully to r.t. london. staying in the british capital the first world record of a flat six olympic championships came in the men's eight hundred meters david rudisha became the first human being to run the distance and one minute and forty one seconds they can run a favorite in the final and set a blistering pace from the start and went on to smash world's best achievement by exactly one tenth of a second edition loken incredible time of one minute forty point nine one seconds the race was so quick the ball eight finalists sat so best season times seventeen year old marge imus of its won it came second or so while another can intimidate

the two completed the forty. thanks. to the mean time the hard and separated names two hundred metres final so no world record but the winner was similarly known even before the race defending champion the same ball won the event with a time of nineteen point eight two seconds to escape rival blake finished second losing by twelve hundreds compared to warren where claimed braun's the jamaican super sprinter is now a five time olympic champion was now worth exploring what i came here for to show the world that i am the best. i am the greatest there was and i put myself in. the urban a can really are to win michael johns god is great at the top for me it's an honor to be in that door. so bolt is aiming to complete another olympic trouble in london after winning the one

hundred eighteen two hundred metres his eyes are now set on new fall by one hundred relay race but the americans are looking to spoil the party with sprinter tyson gay insisting his team can win with a new world record and reform are caught up with him. sport can produce upsets can the americans upset the jamaicans in the relay final i hope so that's to go very positive right now my team is positive and we're definitely for their gold medal and from the times you've been posting at the moment your quartet looks pretty close to the jamaicans here i think so out there we matter pretty evenly were down and everyone is staying there you same boat a great athlete but comparing legs we matter pretty well and there's a good level in the relay he's called the baton how important will it change always be and could they decide who gets the gold i think so. i don't to make a little bit more conservative and i think this on their base we're going to be a little bit more risky you know because we want to go further for the world record as well you mentioned the same boat what's it like to race against him is it

frightening is it or inspiring. i mean it is burning a sense that you know i've been a part of history several times running against a guy passing to bring the better to me so in their case you know it's tough enough for any but you know it's part and i'm interested when you are racing against him do you see him at all in the race so do you have tunnel vision honestly tunnel vision about malaria maybe tamera's agassi him but i can see him for that and what's been the general impression about the london games you've been great you know it's been great. a lot of people home saying they're trying to keep up with the games they just want to be a little bit of time to cop a side that i've been a lot of great feedback a lot of people have elizabeth and pleased that the weather's been holding up pretty much every bit that's pretty important right because if it's cold it can make a huge difference he might win a race yes it's very important the sun came out in the morning first the sun came out. the wind was perfectly no one really had a window to race so everyone pretty much achieved

a lot of great goes. next year we have the world championships in moscow which is where we're based that is your plan is it to race that definitely i've never been you know so it's going to be exciting for me to go to russia for the first time and i look forward to it. in other news russia's returning team credited the coach with a success in london after winning three go at once silver and a bronze medal and russia. was the powerhouse in trouble twelve after failing to take any medals four years ago in beijing. crossed over into iraq with her all over japan in the men's six takeover final to thank an unexpected gold while. also one gold in the men's on the seventh to record one final thing another japanese world champion ricky and i. had to live one day one hundred kilogram gold gold for what is considered a coach to be the main reason for that time. to come but you can see the whole

team has made second if you can progress six out of seven reached the semifinals these proofs and so is a phenomenal coach thanks to his efforts the whole squad has become very strong and should come under so there's only paid attention to the whole team so our results didn't depend on the performance of just one person his goal was to have everyone bring back in a limb big metal so we work with all of us he turned our squad into a family we've been together for four years three hundred days a year he built a good team where people get along great and as he said there's a team they'll be results. and russia swimming. has called the games their success after that in one form of also this self was second only to michael phelps in the one hundred meter butterfly after failing to medal on two previous occasions said russian swimmers in the quarter and semifinal set four years ago but also said the results have changed his future plans. i had plans to retire

completely from swimming after the olympics but because of my success i have now had to radically rethink my future i guess the next event i'll be focusing on will be the upcoming european championships. funny football and super star striker has bags a brace to send into the europa league playoffs hitting ten men of a test in the netherlands the. team went into the match with a comfortable. no chances pushing the limit right from the beginning with cameroon finally breaking the deadlock right to restart. central homesites following the second book. and to grab and second on the night with a late pounds of kick. for aggregate victory. to
