presidential candidate for the green party she explains why she believes her country's political system is a pale shadow of democracy. 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 us that makes it so hard for a third party to break into those two horse race 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 getting things and the 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 of voters the supreme court passed and another law

which it just and livings all limits from contributions 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 being 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 in the democratic party it's it's a little harder to see clearly what they are 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 foreign 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 is 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 in 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 in the suppression of our civil liberties as people were brutally attacked let's talk foreign policy but switch gears for many years now probably since the collapse of the soviet union every u.s. president ever. every administration took the idea of the us as being the walled police sort of to the next level president obama was no exception what is it what is it the basis of this walled police policy as you see it and would you carry on with that as a 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. pakistan then went on to spread the drone wars into somalia and into yemen he he served 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 make 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 they're less 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 storefront 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

this is why you should care only dot com. the headlines on r.t. . fresh algeria's former foreign minister could replace kofi annan as the un's envoy tried to revive the peace process in syria. orphanages in central russia receive most of the twenty seven children who were forced to live for a decade in an eight story series of catechumens by an islamic sect. and gazans a stand to lose their only lifeline to the outside world after a border of violence and promise of egypt to seal off the massive smuggling tunnel network crucial to the region. for the world of sports in particular sports all of that is next with dmitri.

welcome to the sports. goods have a company again and coming up when the bullets are. making history. and ideas it takes seeing both lose their respective funny about. one minute forty point nine one seconds david rudisha set a new world record in the main street hundred meters. and sprain two same bolt retains his two hundred meter title. and we're aware made that podium just to make. to the london games first where russia has moved up to fourth place thanks to mary a very pos victor in the women's wrestling she won the gold in the seventy two

category to become the first ever russian female olympic wrestling champion there also to silver and bronze on day thirteen for russia his richard put. russia continue their steady progress of these olympics of a gold two silvers and a bronze to show for very often some day thirteen however things could've 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 be the vastly experienced from bulgaria who was actually a fine time world champion so it looks as though natalia has a bright future ahead of her and she's earned the russians want spare twelve gold medal of these olympic games so far as a surprise bronze for russia in the men's double canoe with aleksey you have people who can claim a final spot on the podium first place going to germany with bella ruse claiming the silver medal nevertheless the russians were delighted with their performance in

the sport where their country really shines. could do little though we wanted to produce the best results we possibly could. to see who was in front of us and who was behind us we were just concentrating on do what we had to do we had been working really hard for the last year or so and that paid off for these games as this was our first olympics and we were the youngest pig here so hope we can do even better at the games to come you know we missed the north of you know a national birth and it was so near but yet so far for russia's women's boxers or manage to claim two silver medals guy ever was second in the women's might weight category but lost to iran tribal islands katie taylor claimed the gold and in fact taylor's unbeaten in six years. just last night there by a couple of points there was another silver in the women's boxing for the ideas of top our hour she was outclassed by america's closest shields was in fact only seventeen years old the american really cruised to victory in mount bouts pole to

miss golds farah but it looks as though russia's rhythmic gymnastics 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 team competition for russia in fact won every single gold since the sydney olympics in two thousand and former champion elin airports of inner says after day for the team's performance russia looks set to repeat this feat. just in the ninety's and really pleased with how the girls performed today in their in first place there's a little really confident there are no signs of nerves the this doesn't happen very often leave her competing in the world's biggest event they talons are currently in second which is a bit of a surprise for me. we need only given time that you never know what might happen. meanwhile russia's women's basketball team crashed out of the tournament has been missed out on a place in a gold medal game after losing to france why eighty one points to sixty four of russians from our play australia for the bronze medal on friday where we turn of

russia's men as andre generally i'm going to go up against spain for a place in the final for russia's men's volleyball team up against the area with when i'm going for it of a 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. hearty london. staying in the british capital the first world record of a flat six olympic tournament 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 the kenyan run out was hot favorites in the final set a blistering pace from the start and went on to smash each world's best achievement exactly one tenth of a second british it would click on a credible time of one minute forty point nine one the race was so quick that all

eight finalists set personal best all seasonal best times seventeen year old nigel imus that's one arcane second for silver while another can intimidate the two completed pulled you. give me time and space to man's two hundred meters final saw no world record but the winner was seemingly known even before the race defending champion new same boat won the event with a time of nineteen point three two seconds it's the rival john blake finished second losing by twelve hundreds but it wore away claimed braun's the jamaican super sprinter is now the five time olympic champ. i was now worth exploring what i came in for to sort of work on the best. i am the grease that. put myself in. urban a can really order when michael johns god is great at the top for me so honored to be in that door. now

bolt is aiming to complete another olympic trouble in london after winning the one hundred and two hundred meters his eyes are now totally set on the one hundred relay but the americans are looking to spoil the party with sprinter tyson gay insisting his team can win with a new world record and caught up with him. sport can produce upsets can the americans upset the jamaicans in the relay finals 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 standard you same boat a great athlete but comparing legs we matter pretty well and there's a good level in the relay has called the baton how important will the change always be and could they decide who gets the gold i think so. trying to make it a little bit more conservative and i think the celebrity 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 towns running against a guy passing to bring the better to me so in their case you know is there enough for anyone but you know so far and i'm interested when you are racing against him do you see mitchell in the race so do you have tunnel vision honestly tunnel vision till about the last maybe team leaders agassi but i can see him for a more spin the general impression about the london games i mean great you know 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 of elizabeth pleased that the weather's been holding up pretty much every bit and that's pretty important right because if it's cold it can make a huge difference to him and we know race yes is very important the sun came out in the morning first the sun came out. the wind was perfect don't they 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 to the team credited their head coach with a success in london after winning three gold one silver and a bronze medal and they tell in russia is the world's did a powerhouse in twenty twelve failing to take any medals four years ago in beijing in a single stunning breeze past favorites here akihiro all of japan in the men's sixty kilogram final to clinch an unexpected gold while inside also won in the men's seventy three final by beating another japanese world champion ricki lake and to give him a life one day one hundred kilogram gold and all three when it is considered

a new head coach to be the main reason for their triumph come understood paid attention to the whole team so our results didn't depend on the performance of just one person is goal was to have everyone bring back in a limb big medal so we worked 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. taus double sent into the europa league playoffs hitting. ten men vitesse to nil in the netherlands the visitors went into the match with a comfortable sunil lead from their home leg but they took no chances pushing the hosts to the limit right from the beginning with cameroon star striker finally breaking the deadlock right after half time symonds was sent off at home following a second yellow card on the hour mark and saw grabbed his and second of the night

with a late panel took it as a formal exit victory i find that our soccer where the top pick player of this season's n.h.l. draft nail yakupov was on the scoreboard for russia youth team last time to canada by a single goal in a game to mark forty years since the famous summit serious because of winning a ceremonial face off against canada captain ryan mari force chosen second overall and a child raf but it was the this who dominated the match in europe as quick goals in the second period gave them the lead and they hung on for this victory the game was tarnished by a couple of minor brawl to solve it legit blows laughter jap says it's something that's hard to avoid in such emotional games. these are going to be

friendly matches but don't expect the players to be friends on the ice canada and russia are the two teams complete each other in the finals of google championships and we've invited the top young stars from both countries to move first. well that is all for me for today kate partridge will be here in two hours time with more sports news good bye.

wealthy british style. markets why.
