security council to intervene in syria militarily to protect civilians as britain refuses to rule out taking action beyond the organization is most powerful body. also a series of one on big topics and drooling on the latest interview the whistleblower promises more we can leaks revelations and claims the media has been manipulated over what's happening as for his own predicament he might have to spend six months to a day in the ecuadorian embassy in london. and no news of rumble to be due us republican candidate promises to show. if he wins the election but faces criticism himself flip flopping on cain trades. with matronly now officially named a republican nominee for u.s. president also he's a remailer. ivan eland about the race for the white house.

what do you read into the g.o.p. convention. well conventions in the u.s. now are sort of beauty contests they're not they used to be in the history of the used to have a lot more effect the nominee was actually chosen at the conventions but now we have a party primary and caucus system which does that so it's just sort of a coronation of the nominee of the particular party and they script them pretty heavily romney has complete control over the conference convention there of a sort of you ron paul supporters that kicked up a little bit but largely even ron paul is playing the game inside the party so you don't see hardly any disputes or anything like that over the platform or anything else and no surprises all of the romney started at the very. beginning of his

campaign was very rough there was a lot of combat this and a lot of other candidates so basically this credit ahead and yet now at the convention it seems as the g.o.p. just wants from need to be the president yes well they've all that's the tradition in american politics usually is they have about a battle during the primaries call each other all sorts of names criticize each other's policy and then all of a sudden you see people who are criticizing him before when he gets enough electoral i mean convention delegates he flip and then start supporting him so is it romney's time they think now for the u.s. well usually they're on the republican side they they nominate the person who lost last time the next in line the democrats are a little bit more if he but but i think basically comes down to these conventions and surface are surface phenomena at the don't really mean much people who actually study elections in the u.s.

say it's not really between two candidates it's a referendum on the current administration so you know they could have almost anybody running and the economy is bad and it's going to be very close but i think some of the models predict obama still eking it out of. close victory but it's going to be close so those models could be off as well but i think obama has an intrinsic. advantage in the electoral college because in the united states you know we don't. as we saw in two thousand election we don't elect the president on the popular vote it can sometimes be different than the electoral college so we really don't have a national election we have a state by state election and so. the candidates have to win so many states which add up to two hundred seventy electoral votes and so that can sometimes differ from the national popular vote totals so this could be another election where that happens we'll see but obama has a slight edge in the electoral map and they kind of means that romney's policies

are too far to the right and he seems as if he's moving even further to the right choosing paul ryan for instance a lot of people like his and accuse him of wanting to show it to the right wing of the republican party do you think the u.s. is moving in that direction or is it just politics that brought him here well the republicans seem to think that they can energize their base more than the democratic base because the democratic base is kind of disappointed with obama in certain respects and if they can energize their base they can win that way but i don't know that's a bit iffy i think they may have made a bad choice in paul ryan and i think that's choosing him said ok we're going to mobilize our base instead of going for independent voters because he would have picked romney would pick somebody that was like chris christie or somebody that was more moderate to go out to the center and that may have been a mistake because most of the conservatives are going to vote against obama. and so

they really didn't need paul ryan they needed somebody to get people in the middle particularly. suburban women and you see these comments by the republican candidate. one of the senate candidates on abortion and rape. you know that really. disaffect women so the republicans led that's what happened leading up to the convention so they don't really want to talk about that the republicans want to talk about the economy and they want all those social issues which are very divisive and might turn key voting blocks like suburban women against them so and in a close election they really need everybody on their side do you think he's able to move to appeal to the middle well not as much i guess somewhat it's hard to say where he stands on many issues he's kind of moved around enough that's believable but after you do that and now if people you know stick you with the flip flopper

type thing flipping back and forth between you know like john kerry was labeled with that. a while back for the demo on the democratic side you know if you're inconsistent on your and and mitt romney has been inconsistent on abortion assault weapons ban and even on health care yes in fact obama and mitt romney have switched positions because used to be obama was against his own what became his own healthcare plan because hillary originally proposed it during the primaries and of course mitt romney was the guy who dreamed up the whole thing is governor of massachusetts and now he's against that sort of thing so you never know what's going to happen or what position they're going to take but that changing of positions don't you think it's going to weaken his campaign running his campaign especially now when you're talking health care economy. jobs well i think it does certainly when you flip around flip flop around on positions but i think really

it's a referendum on obama that's what the experts say who are political science used to study these things i mean they could put anybody in the in the chair and one of the key factors but not the only factor is the economy so we'll have to see if they. g.o.p. the republicans can keep you know on the offensive on the economy and if they can do that that that highlights the problem but it's not really even the unemployment rate of change and really. the economy would have had to improve probably by may to help obama and that didn't happen so that the fundamentals of the election are set you know months in advance so we'll just see what the what the last count is but in an election this close to you know course they're pulling everything out on both both camps to attack the other one because they need every vote they can get so then let's face the economy what are the challenges facing romney at this election's and the selections well i think the main one is getting distracted by

the social issues old many people don't agree with the social issues in the public and party because they're very much to the right of the population and i think those key voting groups that would be shy about voting for romney and that so they have to kind of keep that under the table but this just sort of sprang up at this senate candidate saying these things which are really quite outrageous about rape and that sort of thing and so lots of women might but this is the south romney completely distance himself from. the platform and the his vice presidential candidate both say no exceptions for rape or incest in the an anti-abortion platform so mitt romney has personally done that but he's still kind of weighted with those days and it also is just kind of a big idea another many women who are against abortion out there and they probably will vote of course republican but you know there are if you're trying to get votes

in the middle that's a key constituency the other problem that the republicans have well they have two other problems working. union worker who a lot of times support. republicans during the reagan era that's dwindled because we've had we have fewer manufacturing jobs so there's fear of those people the other thing is the hispanic population is it has been a rage by some of the republican stances on immigration so that's the fastest growing minority and you see a lot of western states colorado nevada which used to be solid republican are moving in the democratic camp or at least neutral and so that's where oh obama has gotten an advantage on the electoral map the state by state election which is really the key election but it's a slight edge at this point on foreign policy is it seems as if economy. jobs these are the main factors of the elections here about what about foreign

policy and do you think that romney has any advantage or writes well i if anything i think he has the last advantage he's trying to make a big deal about the iran thing but you know obama killed osama bin laden and here are some of bin laden is bill and number one and you know it took them ten years and george w. bush never got them so that's a feather in his cap here in the united states i think. romney has been very hawkish but people are tired of two wars here they want to get out of these war so i don't think if anything that's a detriment to him that he's got all these neoconservative hawkish foreign policy advisers one policy won't traditionally hasn't provided played much in u.s. elections because it's usually domestic issues and the economy and in this case it's even more so since we've had this long recession and now a long sluggish period of recovery so i think even more so people are turning

inward because they want to get rid of these wars and you know get back to what they're doing and that's why it's going to be mainly on the domestic issues so if anything i think foreign policy his views probably are handicapped form but the critique that they did. they're criticizing obama on syria as he said on iran and other issues and it seems as if he's romney is trying to win base for him by criticizing obama on these issues i think they are criticizing him but most most american voters don't really care about that to be quite blunt and so i mean they just you know they may read the newspapers and they don't know very much about these issues foreign policy and defense stuff they don't know which what our policy should be in many of the countries because they're not even familiar much with the countries but they know their own paycheck they know the educational system they know the state of the highways they know stuff and domestically and that's why u.s. elections usually tend to focus on that unless there's a big war going on or unless there's some crisis like the iranian hostage crisis

during the one thousand nine hundred eighty for jimmy carter something like that then it becomes a bit more of an issue and less than three months left for the elections obama is still leading do you think that's going to be the case for until november sixth or do you see that his will while the polls there are about even depending on which polls but those polls don't mean anything because it's state by state and i think you have to look at the electoral map and obama does have an edge there although they kind of his bad do you think he needs a miracle for the economy to keep that lead in the elections or is it also the fact that romney has issues with health care with the economy is not going to help obama but he probably will he's probably benefited from those. these groups that have become disaffected with republicans like hispanics you know and that's sort of thing and i think he's got an electoral edge because of that i.

present with new legislation set to be introduced in september to try and curb a problem that simply won't go away richard on port fleet has more. talking football hooliganism in russia is often discussed however every season to see many problems seem to occur with rival supporters clashing both inside and outside stadiums across the country. part of the problem is very is no effective legislation in place to tackle the problem and this is something we're far teasin looking to change or if we're looking to bring in legislation to try and combat football hooliganism unfortunately there are no universal laws in place at the moment to deal with this problem in the autumn the duma will discuss this problem will also look to try and angle things like players instead as this has a negative impact on the game fires are all too common at stadiums around the country despite heavy fines from the way for pyrotechnics are still let off the

champions league and europa league matches but clubs are the ones who have to foot the bill or bowser guilty of bringing foreigners into the grounds often get away with a fine of just a few euros bats are very even courts. will be looking to liaise with clubs and fans to try and make stadiums safer places and the new legislation will be much tougher and those who want to break the law were looking at how the authorities in england and germany have managed to deal with hooliganism they have dealt with the problem very well and will be looking to try and bring in similar laws into russia to overcome this problem supporters groups have often campaign for stewards to take the place of police in football stadiums as is the case across much of europe. this may have some effect in reducing the problem however the only way football hooliganism can really be tackled is if the troublemakers are held accountable for very actions. the laws and fines football hooligans for years have to be tough for

if they are shown on t.v. or displayed in newspapers for all they have done then i think they'll think twice about doing it again and if you choose a fine of ten euros it's nothing and to keep on causing trouble the police and the clubs need to work together to try and tackle this problem it's high time that a proper stance against hooligans is taken however it seems as though your forties finally accept there is a problem but it's crucial that the new legislation being discussed ease implemented and comes down hard on blues intent on causing trouble which you've been brutally dancey. paralympic action our russia didn't wait around too long to open their medal tally in london the team racking up two goals swan so run a bronze on the opening day their two top place finishes coming courtesy of four hundred meter freestyle specialists oxana circuit political subject and no stranger to standing atop the podium having won three goals in beijing in the fifty one

a method of training for climbers back in the nineteenth century nowadays it is sports but those using their body as the ultimate to. strength exterior and even the mental skill of problem solving all put to the test in the short routes to the top this year the world cup series reached its pinnacle in munich germany with two climbers sharing the overall lead going into the final stage of the two thousand and nine world cup champion russians were stunned game enough. and the quiet time trophy winner. yet the most it was i've been in the sport for quite a long time and know kilian few shopper well he's got fantastic technique and outstanding skills when he's focused it's nearly impossible to beat him but sometimes he feels to perform at his best usually i can focus on climbing really

well said just think about climbing just about bells and the ball there so i have a strong head that are struggling so much however this time around the great australian was far from his best to rising with failing to qualify for the semifinals. did with this point all touch bringing him the twenty twelve ball the world cup over the completion was far from over with the battle for stage victory still ahead in the endgame and finish the stage fourth with his compared to it means you should have food enough proving the best in munich. i knew i had already won three big cock and did his hard to compose myself once again for the finals i tried to stay focused but it still feel different so my body and my mind just refused to act out through a capacity but there is no doubt the day to day. r.t. . not wraps up the sport for now whether it's next year and twenty four hour r.t. .
