this is. a country already accused of being involved in smuggling weapons to the syrian. over twenty children forced to live in.

homes. sealed off from. the border which forced the closure of the ground smuggling tank. the us presidential candidate for the green party she explains why she believes her country's political system is basically a poor 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 great to be with you can you 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 of 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 we do voters the supreme court passed and another law which living 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 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 earlier. 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 it 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 forced to cure for it we spent trillions of dollars in the rack 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 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 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 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. and. your. forty acres and nineteen ninety three and decided it would be a great place to find me build a home and retire. there she is. we call it our new neighbor neighbor nine o seven. we have seventy acres and i can't convince them that they

need to drill somewhere besides two hundred feet from. the needs of a growing economy also means expanding our domestic production of oil and natural gas which are vital fuel for transportation electricity and manufacturing. for any problems with the full weight of the rifle and then answer. your flows are not toxic and we get a lot of there's a lot of mis understood. handing out what exactly in the fluids. time they said you could not here unless you come on here and live in my house for a week. i have no rates. will go through the. science technology innovation all the news developments from

around russia we've gone to the future covered. the headlines on r.t. diplomats reveal who could replace kofi annan that's an international envoy to syria it's former algerian foreign minister locked up but he must post an old links to jordan a country already accused of being involved in smuggling weapons to syria and russia. over twenty children forced to live in tunes in central russia by an islamic sect have now been often introduced they spent over ten years on underground cell phones until being rescued by. plus egypt briefly reopens its crossing to gaza but only tonight palestinians back into the blockaded region gaza remain sealed off from vital aid routes off the border violence which forced the closure of underground smuggling. oil worldwide sports and of course the olympics next with kate.

hello malcolm to the latest polls and here's what's coming up making history russia's. pullup all but take silver in the first ever limping ballots in women's boxing. but i'll be all over it takes gold in this race that. was the sprint king hussein bolt becomes the first man to retain two sprint titles as jamaica sweeps the podium in the two hundred meters. on the top mark kenya's david rudisha sets the first track and field world record at the london games with victory in the men's eight hundred meters. so let's go straight to london where russia has moved up to fourth in the overall medals table thanks to let it be over who became russia's first ever olympic

women's wrestling champion the twenty one year old clinched victory in the seventy two kilogram category after reducing the performance of her life to be a vastly experienced. a little area is deemed a five time world champion but gold is russia's twelfth of these olympics also teams so just in the wrong city and wrong this came as a surprise in the men's double canoe a sport in which the country rarely schilling's where alexei pushkov be a part of work in the final spot on the podium gold went to germany where champions the roost and so. we wanted to produce the best results we possibly could we weren't looking around 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 i hope we can do even

better at the games to come you know we miss them while it was a case of so near but yet so far for russia in the women's boxing where they claimed two silvers sophia garbo was runner up in the lightweight final but lost by a couple of points to irish arch rival katie taylor and unbeaten in six years while the other silver in women's boxing went to another still torn up over the experience russian was outclassed by claressa shields who's only seventeen years old with the american cruising to victory. however it looks as though russia's respect gymnasts will be returned to the top of the podium the country lies first and second after the opening day all they top the team competition russia have won every single goal since sydney two thousand and former champion elena seven-up says the team looks set to repeat these. i'm really pleased with how the girls perform today and they're in first place they looked really confident out there and showed

no signs of nerves this doesn't happen very often when are competing in the world's biggest event they talons are currently in second which is a bit of a surprise for me. to win it any given time you never know what my happen. while later this friday the russian men's basketball team led by and i will play european champions spain for a place in the final while the men's volleyball team up against pole garia with the winner also going through to the gold medal. well meanwhile kenya's david rudisha has set the first athletics world record at the tournament with a victory in the men's eight hundred meters that favorite set a blistering pace from the start and went on to become the first off it's a one hundred one minute forty one with a time one minute forty point one was the writer so fast who like primus said personal four seasons best times seventeen year old not just any worse off what's wanted to so well you know the pain to me it's an inside look. for me

meanwhile even in the same boat it's becoming the first man to attain by sprint titles with victory in a highly anticipated two hundred races the defending champion won in a time of nineteen point three two seconds kind of from a young boy to excel but. the second. morning we're going to continue to speak the medals however for both this and the gold conspiracy legend restates. was our sixth grade so what i came here for to sort of what are in the best family legend now i am the grace that their voices and i put myself in. herb mechanically hard away in my car john saudis great at the top for me so honored to be in that door. and bolt is aiming to complete another olympic travel in london by guiding jamaica to victory in the fall by one hundred meter relay but as i'm sure father found out tyson gay hopes the american team can spoil the party and him well

draco time. can produce upsets can the americans upset the jamaicans in the read a final i hope so that's to go home and i'm 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 yeah i think so out there we matter pretty evenly would have been everyone to stand by you same boat who's a great athlete but comparing legs we matter pretty well and there's a good level in the relay his call. the baton how important will it change i was b. 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 to the world records where you mentioned you 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 a pet out of me so in that case you know if there are not friendly but you know

it's a farm and i'm interested when you are racing against him do you see him at all in the race or do you have tunnel vision honestly had tunnel vision about malaria routinely as agassi but i can see him for a more spin the general impression about the london games have been great you know been great. a lot of people home so they're trying to keep up with the gang 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 and 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 perfect don't they no one really had a winner to race so everyone pretty much achieved a lot of great goals. next year we have the world championships in moscow which is where we're based at that is your plan is it to race that definitely i've never been you know so it's going to be safe for me to go to russia for the first time

and i look forward to it. now on to football and samuel eto struck twice as angie went into the europa league playoffs with a two no victory at ten ten saw them the visitors went into the match with a comfortable you know the from the home like watch they took no chances pushing the house right from the beginning and stones i get out finally by the dugout just drop the whole time to because he didn't sign a three goal advantage and then only now the home side tossed the worst one simon the owner was sent off for a second yellow card and at wrapped up victory we invite him to cornell and i guess i should place another upside he's about. now looking at that draw elsewhere will go to germany find shit gone small fellow moscow side just not want to take a trip to swedish high solar last year's runners up athletic bilbao will host helsinki into man will take on remaining in team living five time european

champions league football meet hearts will need constant united will go to two weeks side up from the toss legs will take place on august the twenty set. go back in london the legendary pele has urged brazil to bring home best first ever lympics go to see received an honorary degree for you guys to that embrace widely regarded as the best player of all time the seventy one year old strike it lifted three rizzo's record five world comes but at the olympics like ever so far managed to settle this thing a bronze how about politeness show that neymar and i can break this duck and i play mexico at wembley on saturday. brazil has a good team you know it's a good name i was the best player so i wish we had the only man who wouldn't have you know the olympics and the matter where i am here i would say come back to brazil with a good mood and they take the opportunity if they want to see me in brazil. on the

very pleased with it. and finally i saw the where the n.h.l.'s top draft pick not yet coupon scored for russia but the used team still lost three two i'm to canada in a game that marked the fortieth anniversary of the summit serious make up of one a ceremonial faceoff against canadian captain ryan murray who was the second pick in the season strong fast it was the visitors who dominated the munching on the saddle with two quick goals in the second period given the lead times they hung on for that three to victory the gang was mobbed by a couple among groups so it led to that distinctive jack said it was something that's hard to avoid in such emotional games. too much. 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 who often play each other in the finals of the world championships and we've invited the top young stars from both countries so more first class action is in store for the fans it would that would put us all sports
