12:31 pm
smuggling tunnels. that's the way it is at the moment i'll be back with another summary for in fifty minutes from now the meantime jill stein the u.s. presidential candidate for the green party she explains why she believes her country's political 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 great 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
12:32 pm
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
12:33 pm
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 using teams 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
12:34 pm
of politics. in my home state in massachusetts we passed a law to get the big money out we don't voters the supreme court and the other law which it is just and 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 were 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
12:35 pm
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
12:36 pm
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
12:37 pm
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 a poll earlier. a majority of americans a substantial majority of americans was very sympathetic and supportive of the agenda that occupy was art 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 corporation of congress' approval rating is eleven percent so it is people are an 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
12:38 pm
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. 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
12:39 pm
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 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
12:40 pm
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. 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
12:41 pm
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 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
12:42 pm
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 is 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
12:43 pm
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.

12:48 pm
while on thursday russia rose to forth in the overall medals table as the vote of your god became russia's first ever and we means wrestling champion the twenty one year old cringe to victory in the seventy two kilogram category after producing that performance of her life to beat the vastly experienced ones from bulgaria who'd been a five time world champion not gold rushes twelve of these olympics while there were also teach silvers and a bronze on day thirteen. well i brought this came as a surprise in the men's double canoe the sport in which the country really shines where aleksey. and in europe of claimed the final spot on the podium gold went to germany with world champions in belarus taking this stuff. 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 have been working really hard for the last year or so and that paid off for these
12:49 pm
games 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 your way while in the women's boxing russia claimed two silvers garber was runner up in the lightweight final after losing out by a couple of points to irish arch rival katie taylor unbeaten in six years arrived home to a champions welcome. it's amazing to come home to such support i knew there was belief a nice even though there are didn't seem to be too many russian supporters in the stands but now we realise a huge amount of support came from all the fans watching us on their t.v. screens i'm slightly disappointed in the second place but no this we really tried our best. while the other silver in women's boxing went to their start up over the experience russia was outclassed by american claressa shields who only seventeen years old but that didn't dampen the mood and tone of posers return home. the more
12:50 pm
i felt more thought i was leaving the plane my legs were shaken from the realisation that i'm home breathing in the air which is totally different especially when you couple that with all the warm support words can't describe this you just have to feel it go do you. go over it looks as though russia's referring generous were returning to the top of the podium as russia held onto its top spot in the group all round standings after the second and final day of qualifying russia had won every single gold in sydney to. thousand and four much unction elaina says the team looks set to repeat this feat just in the ninety's and i'm really pleased with how the girls perform today in their in the 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 was this which is a bit of a surprise for me a new team can we need any given time you never know what my how does the brave but
12:51 pm
in the meantime kenya's david rudisha has set the first athletics world record at the tournament with victory in the men's eight hundred races thought favorite set a blistering pace from the start i went on to become the first athlete to run one minute forty one with a time of one minute the o.t. point nine one seconds the race was so fast or light finalists that personal or season's messed times seventeen year old nigel amos of botswana took silver with another kenyan to be quite a completing the podium. for me while you same both became the first man to retain both sprint titles with victory in a highly anticipated two hundred meters the defending champion won in a time of nineteen point three two seconds while training partner yohan blake took silver twelve hundred a second behind and one when i competed a jamaican sweep of the medals however for vault a fifth and the gold ensures him netting the state. is now worth exploring what i came here for to sort of what are in the best family legend now i am the

12:53 pm
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. to me it is burning a sense that you know i've been a part of history several times running against a guy who can seem to bring a pet out of me so in their case you know it's there for not for any but you know so far 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 he had tunnel vision about the last minute team leaders agassi but i can see him for a more spin the general impression about that and in games i mean great you know it's been great. a lot of people home saying they're trying to keep up with the gang and they just want to be a little bit of time to publicize 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
