2:00 am
accusations of lies and hypocrisy are flung both ways as barack obama and mitt romney lot has and their penultimate debate ahead of the presidential vote. but it all this discussion about who won who lost the media here somehow completely ignored the rest of another presidential candidate right outside the town hall where the last night debate took place i'll be back with more in just a few moments. and madonna don't preach the singing superstar's sent a summons by russian prosecutors after civil activists take offense at her saying that his book concert. well the material girl is at it again and we'll tell you why
2:01 am
madonna's latest antics mean just land her in a russian court room those details coming up right next. lots while the israeli government to make sure no one forgets the terrors of holocaust we reported how it turns a blind eye to those that actually survived. ten am in the russian capital you're watching our team with me marina josh welcome to the program pulling the u.s. economy back from the brink and retail hating for the killing of american diplomats took center stage during the second presidential debate between mitt romney and barack obama they faced off to train fresh blows was less than a month left before the crucial vote for white house dominance well let's get latest now from our correspondent going to count is following the debates for us
2:02 am
and of the states guyon at alabama and romney have been running neck and neck so it doesn't look like they are late as had to had just tipped the scales. well by all accounts this debate was thought to be crucial for the president and and his chances for getting reelected especially after the first debate two weeks ago when the president looked less and less competitive then governor romney this time around he was on the offensive flow which got the media and his supporters very excited according to television audience polls the president came out as the winner in this debate they kept arguing the tax plan is going to add more to the country's gigantic dad true would be better at competing with china and the rest of the world in terms of economic growth and it was very it was very little on foreign policy there was one more debate coming out before the election that one specifically on foreign policy where there was one question about libya and the murder of the american ambassador there and the president did come up with much of the punch line to that he said this. most important world we are going to find out
2:03 am
who did this and we're going to hunt them down because one of the things that i throughout my presidency is when folks mess with americans we go after them. well as far as levy the administration would want to present the mission of toppling qaddafi as a huge success as they had before at the tragic tragic attack this september in benghazi but now it's hard to cover up the fact that libya is very far from that success story that it's a mess with radical forces on the rise but again these debates are not about discussions they're more about who's going to deliver a better punchline who provide for a better show essential and it says the news cycle here where you focus entirely or around the debates has been like one big reality t.v. show with all these never ending discussions on the body language of the candidates all the channels do that the experts to analyze the candidates. body potion as they
2:04 am
stand up where they sit down during the debate they are of course have this cardiogram with the viewers reaction to what they're saying so there is a very skilled pool of build up of excitement here which makes great reality t.v. but it's a big question whether americans really have a choice. well now let's move on now to the next question that many would like to know the answer to we know that the parents of the bipartisan debates are stealing to have a line so to speak and in the meantime there is little mention of other presidential candidates why is that. well this is very interesting something that has gone completely unnoticed uncovered by the mainstream media here by this nonstop reality t.v. was the arrest the arrest of a presidential candidate in this election jule styne nominee from the green party she was arrested shortly before the debate right outside the town hall where this
2:05 am
debate was being held that she and her running mate were protesting their exclusion from these presidential debates they were asked to leave they refused to do so and they were arrested for blocking the traffic the fact that there are other candidates in this presidential election outside these two parties very few americans know anything about that is because as jule styne told me when we set down for an interview a few months ago they're being pushed out of the debates by those who are interested in keeping a two horse race she was referring to special interests take a listen. 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 the american system is designed to eliminate political opposition like some of the. you know dictatorships that we criticize the rigged political systems in many ways is the american system is also rigged but in ways that are not as straightforward.
2:06 am
well jill stein will be on ballots although not in all states she was also telling me how hard it is for an independent candidate to get on those ballots in the u.s. that every state has its own intricate rules centrally designed to keep it a two party race as far as these big televised presidential debates they're organized by the democratic and republican parties through the commission on presidential debates so there's not much enthusiasm on part of that commission to lead a third party in but you would think the media that's somewhere between discussing the body language of the candidates the chemistry on stage the dresses of the wives that somewhere between all those things they would mention the arrest of a presidential candidate but no it's being completely ignored or i am thanks very much for this and alice correspondent and reporting live from washington d.c.

volatile after okada increased its activity during the wake of the arab spring. a u.n. commission on human rights abuses in syria says there is an increasing risk of islamist groups radicalizing the conflict and this comes as american intelligence officials recently admitted the bulk of arms flowing into syria are going into the hands of al qaida and other islamist militias the government's and damascus has long blamed much of the violence on foreign backed terror groups as its forces continue to pound rebel strongholds in the country's north according to the u.n. more than twenty thousand lives from both sides have been lost since the uprising began in march last year. now it might be a good time for madonna to check her new york letter box the queen of pop's been invited back to russia this time though it's not to appear of before her adoring fans but the angry prosecutors all the details live from our correspondent lisa
2:11 am
caputo hello lizzie now what caused those of us tell us more. well the material girl herself is unlikely to materialize but that hasn't stopped a russian court in russia's second city of st petersburg from agreeing to hear a case a lawsuit against her for more than ten million dollars in damages by anti-gay groups who allege they have suffered quote moral down. just from a performance that she held recently in that city in august now the development in the story is that basically one of the plaintiffs has told the media that they had found an address for madonna in new york city that they're trying to send a summons there it's unclear whether that's been translated from the russian language into english so that she could appear they've also sent a summons for her to a health and fitness club the hard candy club here in moscow and they're basically trying to get her into the court room again in order to hear this case which alleges that madonna's centrally promoted so-called homosexual propaganda adjourned
2:12 am
her concert there where she spoke out about gay rights and equality to a crowd of about twenty five thousand people that included minors so it's a bit of a weird story but this is this is the recent alleged development that we're talking about well certainly interesting twists and turns there and be interesting to see how it develops as you rightly said now what's interesting though is why would a case like that end up in court. but here's the thing the backdrop to all this i mean what madonna actually did whether or not it's controversial in itself is debatable she did speak out about gay rights gay equality she asked people to sort of raise their hands and support and handed out t. shirts and banners and whatnot but st petersburg unlike the rest of russia had recently passed a law that bans the so-called promotion of homosexuality bisexual ism transgenderism as well as well as paedophilia to minors the board of the law itself is a little bit vague so it's quite unclear how exactly that plays out but what that translates to is this to effectively
2:13 am
a ban on for example gay pride parades and things of that sort so these groups allege that what madonna did effectively trampled on that law violated the law and supposedly psychologically damage the conscious and the feelings of the residents who were exposed to that while we do also have to keep in mind of course that madonna is no stranger to controversy from banning. burning pardon me burning crosses in the music video in the in the u.s. to exposing and nipple in istanbul to speaking out picking a fight with a national front in paris by screening a video of their leader with the swastika on her head and a four star controversy here in russia also by speaking out in defense of the punk band group pussy riot she's no stranger to controversy the question is whether she'll actually appear in this courtroom and as of now us specially if they don't get the summons translated it doesn't really seem likely we'll of course people all over the story for you will indeed listen thanks very much for the subject was a couple of reporting from boston thank you. and still to come here on our t.v.
2:14 am
silencing the other side of the story and you are a little satellite provider takes a rainy and stations off the air and as a result of the latest sanctions we ask what about the freedom of speech very shortly here in r.t. . the mighty volga that runs deep through the russian so it has provided inspiration for songs and poems and is the country's main north south phone tree i'm just came to go schumann ingenuity connected it to the don't revert to the west the vogue the dawn canal is an engineering marvel within a day a vessel can pass the canals thirteen looks ten million tons of shipping does so every year. another concrete giant is this finished fifty years ago it's the

biggest hydroelectric plant in europe empowers the local city of volgograd and sends lots more electricity to moscow the hydroelectric plant behind me is a potent example of how much the volga can provide but harnessing the river like this isn't without its cost. fishermen who've been watching fish for years. they see the slow damage the downing of the river has done especially to russia's prized sturgeon the source of caviar put on the president of the high during the trip plant has done significant damage because it stocked fish swimming up river to the spawning grounds. within a year all these houses would have gone fallen into the river depending on how many of the hydroelectric plants turbines are on the water level can change suddenly and dramatically too suddenly for the banks to absorb. control of the river the flow by the plant has made building the bogus flood plain more attractive serious floods

are less likely but the water that is put into the drains is taken away from the fish that need it now but lost the voice of the voters ecology might stop being good. the first time in fifty here is the rules will contain a point on maintaining biodiversity in the river would still have a chance to bring the volga back to life. meaning that the mighty volga is treated with the respect it deserves. wealthy british style. markets why not canada find out what's really happening to the global economy

2:18 am
nineteen iranian t.v. and radio stations have been taken off air in europe as a result of new sanctions on tehran the latest measures are aimed at spread suring iran's government to be upfront about its nuclear program the restrictions are targeting iran's banking sector gas exports and oil shipments to iran says the regulations won't affect the country's economy in the long run but will hurt ordinary people political analyst chris bambery says cutting off broadcasting is simply an attack on the freedom of speach. you don't have to be a conspiracy theorist to think that by banning. media nineteen t.v. and radio stations from access to europe it does look like you further step towards military intervention against iran given it happens on the same day that the imposes for the sanctions on iran and against the background of a continuing military buildup by america with his british and french allies in the persian gulf and the siren calls from tel aviv for american action against against
2:19 am
iran day therefore it seems to be a father ramping up of this and this was a decision taken not just by private satellite company to withdraw access it was taken as we're told by the european council of foreign ministers very highest level or perhaps by the european commission other waited bodies by the way there's nor we are overturning the decision the european parliament is going to pose to do that to do that and for it seems to be a very significant attack on freedom of speech what they're trying to do is snuff votes on the turns a view of iran being offered to people in europe as opposed to view or force fed which is of some kind of terrorist state which is out of control and the danger of that and of course we're also going to be denied the fact that iran is offering concessions in compromise on the whole nuclear issue not quite as it's painted by the way just. now over one million jewish children two million women and three
2:20 am
million men were killed across europe in the holocaust the israeli government does everything to ensure the world remembers the terrorist of the third reich however as artie's policy or in our reports it forgets those who actually survived it. a celebration of life and age dismissed by many here as offensive and misguided nearly seventy years after these women cheated death in nazi concentration camps their competing to be holocaust survivor beauty queen. whoever went through the whole cost it's in them inside we will never forget how we were put through but the younger generation it is possible we understand their roots but otherwise no one really thinks of us. every month dozens of these water victims die in loneliness and poverty forgotten by the country that was supposed to be their promised land the fact that many of these people survived a terrible ordeal and decades of struggle for normal life that followed is pay me
2:21 am
laugh the coolest irony is that many flocked to israel after world war two thinking they would live out their lives in safety and prosperity of course why was built this country they went through so much we have about ten years to make it right over there won't be any survivors left alive better to spin lives alone in hotel of apartment she spent her childhood hiding from the nazi occupation in the ukraine she and her parents were the only survivors from her family today survival is still her main worry. i was supposed to get help from the finance ministry ten years ago but they didn't help they give me nothing only when i fell and broke my back did i get some assistance but it wasn't easy even then to get this money i did get a little help from the germans three years ago they started giving me about four hundred dollars a month which i now live off. israel it seems always remembers the holocaust but tends to forget those who survived it
2:22 am
a third of the country's holocaust survivors live in poverty with little or no help and support in two thousand and eight a state inquiry found that tel aviv failed to pass on some thirty billion dollars that had been paid to israel by germany you would think that. the holocaust will be behind them but some of them are here and are living the same horrible stories again they are alone without food. without a person in this world who takes care of them. and. it's horrible. so while some may see this is distasteful this pageant is an attempt to reach out to the is to me to fifty thousand two hundred costs of i was living below the poverty line the proceeds hoping to pave the way. the government doesn't do nearly enough to help us i received a one time payment from germany for two and a half thousand euros that's it and my husband who is in the ghetto gets four

hundred dollars a month for everything it's a value put on those who survived a living hell in a country supposedly cost as a result of their suffering to protect them. r.t. . or else he was happening in the world of business marina cars are always keeping a fingers on the paul there are so worried of what's happening this wednesday morning well good morning right now there are some markets just hits of the trade session that made the complete surface like a look at the numbers will see that there impost of territory oil prices are helping quite a bit because they're at the highest level in one we can see the figures they're moving on to the currencies where the euro is a flight suit negative when it comes to the dollar when it comes to the russian currency as we can see it's mixed against the currency basket and that also. seeing k.b.p.s. as the saga my being finally coming to an end and that's because the british co-owners can now sell their fifty percent stake to anyone there was a boy who has all the details for us. twenty five billion dollars is the price tag
2:24 am
on the list of person b.p. stake and its russian joint venture at b.p. it's been a lucrative nine years in russia for the british royal major headquartered here in london sir james this they've made nineteen big. pounds after investing seven despite the big dividends relations between the partners in the joint venture have gone from bad to worse in the last year so that in june b.p. announced that it was selling out of russia's number three oil company. and russia had shot for the stake but. just a few hours off to which b.p. will be free to sell to whichever company it light the billion as a still expected to make a bid but it's unlikely to succeed instead state oil giant is widely tipped to win the prize ross staff has already secured a fifteen billion dollar loan which is expected to cover the elements of the deal
2:25 am
the rest is likely to be in the form of a stake in ross now which would instantly catapult the british to being the biggest shareholder to the russian state now the four billion as the haul for b.p. will also be facing in the future this time with the russian state caught in. a more malleable western oil they've been clear this is something they don't want and analysts are now looking at a scenario where if the russian businessmen have to be themselves well up sticks altogether by selling off of the business well now even if they scrape together the funds to buy out that is there a way. to sell to the russian state oil giant in order to secure its own future interests in russia. and that's how business looks as. our interview segments on muslim artsy speaks to mike's who's a profession a professional
