they have all of them said that now is the time to get out and obama as the steward of the empire can't say that and so he also said well i gradually gradually to get out gradual to get. but that's different from getting out now which was what even though gingrich search on a different note related to domestic politics i want to ask you about the occupy wall street movement and where you think it's heading these people took to the streets to protest the culture of revolving doors in washington that cozy relationship between corporations and politicians of a limited contributions to political campaigns which many see as legalized corruption do you think their voices were heard. in the general defiantly diffuse cultural sense i don't think. that wall street banks students or cultural

heroes anymore the way that they work the way that they used to be in terms of policy making went in terms of policy making probably not. with this administration so far but there was a backlash the talk create a forum and that went to a kind of awakening kind of consciousness raising and where that goes now as the spring is coming and a new forms of struggle are likely to emerge and how that will interact with the political campaign which he has to respond to which i mean fortunately of the union address for example he would say that you know there is a need to keep the last reading chair that it needs to be better regulated so you don't say all those words he can even say that and then he can go right out and not keep wall street and soon americans will face a choice between mitt romney most possibly and barack obama candidates from two

parties democrat and republican you wrote that romney's and i quote here awfulness will win the election for the democrats i want to ask you about the two party system and the two horse race that he'd established effectively do you think americans. have that much of a choice when electing a president it's sort of like. coke and pepsi and the level of entire going is that doubt of we exist in the places where those things are manufactured and marketed at the level of underlying political vision or underlying political orientation there isn't that much difference and romney would probably be perfectly happy doing what obama does we have a media which is so thoroughly controlled and all the institutions that manufacture opinion are so pervasive and our electoral system has become basically like an advertising it's become sales promotions there are brands and there are people

trying to sell different products one of two products. and it's. a pressure that's not all it's not so much the pressure that's hard to resist it's a pressure that most people or most people aren't even aware that there is an alternative and can't be measured but i wanted to ask is there a chance for third product to somehow get into this well historically that only seems to happen to some small extent when the third party product is backed by a huge amount of money when ross perot was running for president and. the greens can't do that and they're not going to have a nine hundred ninety two very that was in one thousand nine hundred ninety two you know you know according to. one of the latest gallup polls a record number of americans forty percent of americans identify themselves as independents and never happened and they don't have their candidate. effectively

rope we have a very profound disconnect between what people want in any recognized meaningful and recognizable sense of the term and what the political process offers in the way of all of alternatives by the way that the party system has evolved especially in recent years that makes it it and by it. indefensible jurisprudence which has made it increasingly possible for. corporations and for very rich people effect of lead to control the political process and under those circumstances it doesn't matter that much what people want or even that much how involved people are thank you very much thank you dr levin. thank you.

although after woods he did meet it wasn't entirely straightforward. this little box today was complicated because very das go gave me a lot of different serves plus he's left handed one was sliced one of thirty five miles per hour so it's never easy to get into it and there are some wind also today but i'm really happy i feel good there's always a relief when you get through the first week. and the man who beat federer to take gold lympics andy murray is three although he needed almost twice as long to defeat for the china lopez despite having beaten him six times before mary was a bit labored as he eventually won three sets to what. was toughest physically physically. you know i actually felt better towards that. through it. i think. it was probably going to a combination of you know having. but. that's just took.

session it's you know it's so important to come back after the break up to such a long break with with a good result in certain races tomorrow but this is this is close to winning a grand prix for me it's been it's been so long. in other news golf's world number one rory mcilroy has a one shot lead at the halfway stage of the doj bank championship in boston the northern irishman started brilliantly this approach setting him up for an eagle on his opening hole. he then went on to the next one goes into the penultimate round a shot ahead of south africa's new susan he wasn't playing too badly himself this is him here tiger woods is two shots back after firing a sixty eight. now finally at the paralympics oscar pistorius has set a new world record in the two hundred meters the south african who also competed lympics shaved more than half

a second off the previous record finishing his heat in a time of twenty one point three seconds the paralympics he is the defending he's defending his one hundred four hundred meter titles as well as the two hundred many new records have been set at these games begging the question how much is down to new technology and how much is down to natural ability with more on that from london is from costa. south africa's oscar pistorius is arguably the most famous paralympian in the world the sprinter became the first man in history to participate in both events of the summer games following his exams at the sites of the earlier this summer pistorius is achievements has prompted debates whether paralympians good suit outperform their able bodied counterparts as the person advances each year. stickpin takes care of the russian paralympic team's prosthetic limb stock and contrary to the critics he believes that technology has little to do with the actual improvements of results. of course the manufacturers of all this

equipment are competing between each other always trying to improve something but i want to stress it's in the end everything depends on the athletes and then mooney represents the african nation of ghana at the paralympics has come a long way in sports starting with the amputee football at home and now road cycling in london and he probably knows better than anyone that state of the art technology comes a distant second to strength of character. how yes all their best technology has been implement always been modified it and athlete. is not able to put forth it will. never succeed or be the best athlete so it's all about. determination discipline integrity in the. intelligence given back. and we need

oscar pistorius prove to his fellow athletes with disabilities that competing at the able bodied the olympics is not an unachievable dream naturally they cannot do without artificial limbs but one thing's certain paralympians are the driving force behind the advancement of person that's a product. so what's in store for the future of technology for people with disabilities are we ever going to see a so-called blade runner to the one hundred meters faster than the same bolt well the answer to that is still not sure prosthetics manufacturers have already made a huge technological leap in large part thanks to the efforts and courage of paralympic athlete on call sort of artsy london. and interesting to fight that is always full for the moment we've got the weather coming at least.

story of the trades this week western nations ramp up calls for military intervention in syria in order to protect refugees but face criticism aiming to help all of the rebels he's fighting toxics are accused of being crimes. drew down a song try to have suspended for six months to hold yet they quit or an embassy in london whistleblower makes a full cars during a rain to say it's for a diplomatic resolution to the sunday. class no longer iran refutes minutes of its international isolation by hosting a high profile summit attended by leaders and senior pointers from other hundred countries this opposition from washington. only gongs and russian business like romana ramon the truth wins in

a multi-billion dollar basile with fellow countrymen bo is very is also here in london caught in a case of accusations of dirty dealings right. hello welcome to see twenty following us live from moscow. with the latest news on the week's top stories fast western powers have pushed this week for setting up foreign protected sabes earns in syria a move that would effectively mean almost intervention given their opposition to the idea from russia and china britain has hinted foreign nations could act without the approval it's been all gives the buffer zones and needed to help syrian refugees but some experts believe those behind the initiative are pursuing other interests in the first place. it's a pretext it's still another way to divide and take over the country using the

united nations as your vehicle is unfortunately a repetition of what happened in libya where the united nations is being used to promote for instance promote case that playbook worked in libya they want to try the same playbook and do it those work anymore but there is no desire by the west nato to have a negotiated settlement the oldest purpose of this exercise is to make sure that there is no competition in the middle east for pipelines such as by way of syria iran and other places all these other things are excuses to claim that they care one bit about humanitarian concerns as it is a gross. the rebel fighters say that foreign power is coming in and establishing a no fly zone over syria would significantly help them and i find against assad's government meanwhile think toxics employed by the opposition on the ground are raising more questions as if he's in this account now found out it was another disturbing example of the many atrocities committed throughout the syrian war

a truck bomb with homemade explosives headed for a checkpoint to the entrance of syria's largest city. you know love what i do but the men that are loading it aren't assad forces they're one of the many groups fighting under the banner of the free syrian army and their captive is said to be a member of the should be a militia with a very close ties to the government the video filmed by the new york times and turn into an on air segment by the b.b.c. captured what human rights groups called evidence of an attempted murder a potential war crime under international law review of rebels from the free syrian army trying to use a prisoner as an unwitting suicide bomber in their attacks on government forces now the cameras didn't follow the prisoner who had no idea that while being blindfolded he was actually embarking on a suicide mission he simply thought that he was being given his freedom the very next morning he was said to have a scaped after the bombs failed to detonate and the b.b.c. had aired a story on august twenty second but this glimpse into the darker side of some of

the tactics now being used in the uprising never aired again the story was also pulled from the b.b.c. website the network told me that this was due to copyright issues and this very video raises the question about whether such tactics may be more widespread among the opposition than what has been previously documented they have yet to draw the same level of scrutiny as the crimes committed by the government were challenged in syria is met with more protests whether by the government or the rebels the violence seems to be the name of the game and he further shatters the prospects for peace agreement reality for the civilians caught in this bitter war lucie county jail for r.t. and moscow although it's still unclear who exactly forms the front of the syrian opposition western governments are keen to help them see the. country france has asked us not opposed to the current national government promising to recognize it as the major damage representative of the new syria not a sense of what could be behind the suggestion by paris and its potential implications of the one for you. two

men a songe once again the birth of his son. giving his first interview since being granted political asylum by ecuador talking to a pan latin american t.v. network their whistleblower defended the wiki leaks cause pointing out that no one was hurt as a result of publications on the web site is something that cannot be said about america's actions in iraq and afghanistan where it exposed also lashed out at the u.s. overwhelming subelements practices and what he called a global spy network implemented by google they stay we can leak a believes is leading to a transnational totalitarianism with the public to blast increasingly influenced by press many poor nation speaking about his own future has been holed up in the ecuadorian embassy in london for over two months now so that's my take from six months to up to a year for him to become a free man with a friend from the caves independence party told r.t.

that assange might be why to count on sweden adventure dropping the case against him. i don't see. a very quick resolution to this unfortunately for our coffers the. police weren't under enough pressure with all the other policing that having to do it would be a lympics of everything else at the moment. but i don't see a resolution that you know william hague will stop threatening to storm the ecuadorian embassy which i think he was very foolish to even hint to regionally but we might come to some arrangement with the ecuadorians i don't know but i think the most likely thing is that sweden will realize that they've created by not sending a prosecutor to talk to him in england as he offered to do to speak to them to answer their questions by going this heavy handed route i think they've they've made a rod for their own back and they're going to end up having to drop it but i don't think they'll do it anytime soon. and of course all the twists and turns of julian assange has a long running soap.
