accusations of lies and hypocrisy are flung both ways as brock obama and mitt romney longhairs in their penultimate debate ahead of the presidential vote. but it made all this discussion about who won who lost the media here and somehow completely ignored the arrest over another presidential candidate white outside the town hall where the last night debate took place i'll be back with more in just a few moments. but donna don't preach the same superstar sent a summons by russian prosecutors after a civil activist take a fancy to her saying that his book concert. material girl is at it again and we'll tell you why madonna's latest antics may just land her in a russian courtroom. box while the israeli government make sure no one forgets the

terrors of holocaust we were born and how it turns a blind eye to those that actually survived it. eleven am in the russian capital you're watching. pulling the u.s. economy back from the brink and retail yang for the killing of american diplomats took center stage during the second presidential debate between mitt romney and barack obama they say stuff to trade fresh blows with less than a month left before the crucial vote for white house dominance are just going to she can has the latest from washington. by all accounts this debate was thought to be crucial for the president and and his chances of 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 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 lead and the murder of the american ambassador there and the president did come up with. the punch line to that he said this we were going to find out who did this and we're going to hunt them down because one of the things that i've said throughout my presidency is when folks mess with americans we go after them well as far as leave you know the administration would want to present the mission of toppling qaddafi as a huge success as they had before at the 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 will provide for a better show essentially and it says the news cycle here where you focus entirely on 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 by experts to analyze the candidates they are world body potion as they 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 something that has gotten cool. please lee i've noticed 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 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 true horse race she was referring to special interests take a listen 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 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 straightforward 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 the big televised presidential debates there are 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 let 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 addresses 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. now going to shoot down there and you can watch her full interview with the green party's presidential

candidate jill stein next hour here on our team what will change when america picks its president amid muslim rage walking the iran tightrope pushing china and russia as occupy anger spreads the two parties still dictate will be there for. you a selection of clothes guys if they are t. beginning of july twenty second. now the us a set to help libya create a new five hundred strong commando force to fight islamic extremism which has been on the rise since the beginning of the arab spring the panda god has diverted nearly eight million dollars from its operations and aid and pappa stand to begin building the elite living force which is reportedly due by the end of next year even as remained highly volatile since last year's uprising against moammar gadhafi which was supported by the us and according to. coauthor of pakistan terrorism ground zero washington still has no intention of leaving the region. there's no

functioning state. media intervention in the country and it's worse the situation. would also. be an airline's moved to detroit like more because of reduced number of small dictators and small donors and warlords who are pushing libya into a group that's true in iraq in chaos during. the war on terror i do strongly. that he concentrated in upon his design bugs on your own but as the americans placed on these jihad these forces or all to fall in america in the middle east as well so that is one reason for america today were funds from pakistan to be and there's a new reason this is become clear in the recent years that american. cities are changing the moment after spending more than a decade in the price of the no american strategic pull this is shifting to the city the middle east and each of those who preach and i'm sure americans are used

to for a longer period of time in middle east and asia pacific region. now let's take a look at some other stories from around the world greece is set for more protests with likely to be virtually paralyzed for too few days doctors lawyers engineers journalist and many other professionals will stay away from work today with a nationwide general strike do on thursday greece is fast approaching the deadline to qualify for a next while bailout traunch from its international creditors country continues to slide deeper into recession with unemployment at alarming rate. and attacked by a gunman on a motorbike left a senior security official dead in the capital of yemen on tuesday it's the latest in a series of high profile assassinations recent months most of which have been claimed by a car that this comes amid a joint offensive with the u.s. military against insurgents currently underway in yemen the country remains volatile after al qaida increased its up to the during the wake of the arab spring

. commission on human rights abuses in syria says there is an increasing risk of as long as groups radicalizing the conflict 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 islam as militias the government 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 and both sides have been lost since the uprising began in march last year. it might be a good time for madonna to check her new york letterbox the queen of pop's been invited back to russia this time though it's not to appear before her door and found spots angry prosecutors has all the details 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 damages from a performance that she held recently in that city in august now the reason we're talking about the story today is the plaintiffs have confirmed to the media that they have found madonna's new york city address and have sent a summons there for her to she will show up to the st petersburg court they've also sent a summons for her to a health 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 share this case which alleges that madonna essentially promoted so-called homosexual propaganda during her concert there where she spoke out about gay rights and equality to a crowd of about twenty five thousand people that included minors she asked people to sort of raise their hands and support and handed out t. shirts and banners and whatnot but same 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 fourth the law itself is a little bit big so it's quite unclear how exactly that plays out so these groups allege that what madonna did effectively trampled on that law violates the law and supposedly psychologically damage the conscious and the feelings of the residents who were exposed to that what would you 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 a nipple in its. and will to speaking out of picking a fight with a national front in paris by screening a video of their leader with a swastika on her head and a four star in 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 court room and as of now a specially if they don't get the summons translated it doesn't really seem likely

we'll of course keep following the story for you. this account of reporting there will still work on the program silencing the other side of the story and your satellite provider takes a rainy and stations off the air in the e.u. as a result of the latest sanctions we ask what about the freedom of speech there shortly . would think that the holocaust there will be behind them but some of them are here and are living the same part of old stories again. they are alone without food. without a person in this world who takes care of them. and. it's horrible. where report on how decades after the fall of nazi germany many of the jews who survived the horror have been all but forgotten by their country and the story more just.

the sun rises over what seems like analyst forest here in new directions cry for hundred kilometers north of light of all storms as much of the world it's disappearing at a catastrophic rate. mortgages both illegal and those finding ways to outsmart the system filing down the forests of the region for them profit goes well beyond the future of our planet and the result could be an ecological crisis we are on the hunt for illegal loggers and it's not going to be easy to forests. and their chances are slim now for now we can stay in our dreams but as soon as we find quality tracks we'll have to drop our wheels and get out silently in order not to scare the waters off the xander someone in ca has been a ranger for over twenty five years he can spend weeks at a time tracking a single group of loggers easier to work when snow falls in autumn it's impossible

to find human genetics. and even transport tracks are hard to see after hours of driving we get sent in the right direction by word of mouth you can see that the ground us soft here which means that they've twelve's the tractor trails are very fresh which in fact means that we need to be quiet in order to not scare them off as we get closer. to. this team says they're legal but have no documents now xander can now call the police to take over his work here is done he is overwhelmingly outnumbered there are too few rangers working in the promote the region and the w w f he says the government isn't doing enough to stop it just you . know it was no one tries to stop them in just five years the force will be gone what will the people who live after those who do it's a question more and more people are aware of today climate change in the safety of our environment as a whole are being discussed around the world and perhaps it's those small steps

that might be a start to people living in harmony with nature. cultures that so much as i can recall right on it again so here it is meant to be but what kind of foreign policy could the world expect from a romney administration his supporters claim he would restore america's are. well into the. audience technology innovation all the latest developments from around russia we've got the future covered. more news today is once again flared up. these are the images the world has been

seeing from the streets of canada. giant corporations rule the day. what about you watching our team now the iranian state broadcaster is reportedly saying it could take legal action against a leading rypien satellite provider for cutting off its programs this comes after nineteen iranian t.v. and radio stations have been taken off air in europe as a result of new e.u. sanctions on tehran the latest measures are aimed at pressuring iran's government to be upfront about its nuclear program their strictures are targeting iran's banking sector gas exports and oil shipments to iran says the regulations one affect the country's economy and the long run but will hurt ordinary people political analyst chris bambery says coming after our casting is simply a tap on freedom of speech. the 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 against the background of a continuing military buildup by america but is british and french allies in the persian gulf and the siren calls from tel aviv for american action against against their own day therefore it seems to be a father run playing all of this and this was a decision taken not just by a 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 have overturning the decision the european parliament is going to pose to do that to do that. for it

seems to be a very significant attack on freedom of speech what they're trying to do is snuff votes on the tones a view of iran being offered to people in europe as opposed to view or four spades which is of some kind of terrorist state which is out of control and the danger of that and of course we all schools with an idea of the fact that iran is offering concessions and compromise on the whole nuclear issue not quite as it's painted by the way. now over one million jewish children two million women and three million man were killed across europe in the holocaust israeli government does everything to ensure the world remembers the terrors 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 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 promise land the fact that many of these people survived a terrible ordeal and decades of struggle for normal life that followed is pay me 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 build this country they went through so much we have about ten years to make it right over to go there won't be any survivors left alive better 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 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 estimated fifty thousand two hundred costs of i was living below the poverty line the proceeds helping fell's and 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 this suffering to protect them policy r.t. . all right straight to the world of business now we're. ready to raring with the business news and we're hearing that there is a new twist in the tank a piece from what i understand so tell us more exactly or basically we're know that there's been an ongoing dispute between the russian and the british partners of the

oil from but now with other people has been trying to sell its fifty percent stake and the british partners the lock in period is now over so they can sell it to anyone they want and our very own poly boyko has all the details for us. twenty five billion dollars is the price tag on the lists of. state and its russian joint venture. it's been a lucrative nine years in russia for the british royal major headquartered here in london st james this. nineteen billion pounds for investing just 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. billionaire as in russia shout for the stake but the period expires in just a few was off to which b.p. will be free to sell to whichever company it light began as

a still expected to make a bid but it's unlikely to succeed instead state oil giant role snapped is widely tipped to win the prize now ross staff has already secured a fifteen billion dollar loan which is expected to cover the elements of the deal 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 partly owned haul for b.p. will also be facing a new future this time with the russian state of. a more molly a bill of western oil for they've been clear this is something they don't want on the list and now looking at a scenario where if the russian businessmen have to put themselves 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 that he would prefer to sell to the russian state oil giant in order to

secure its own future interests in russia. ok now let's go get some international markets european investors just picked. the trade in session there and we're seeing that it's all holes at the pretty much flat by the figures and there's little often isn't enough because we have signs that german resistance to spanish and now let's move on and take a look at the russian markets and near the do particularly well and that's because oil prices are at their highest level in almost one week so the r.t.s. gained almost a half a percent there quick look at currencies where the euro is still pretty much flat to the u.s. dollar as you can see those risen just a bit from the previous hour when it comes to the russian currency it still makes through the currency basket now let's take a look at the asian markets and necessary getting ready to go home but stocks there are still rising and we have investors buying up financials shippers as well as resource shares and with that in the case adding over

a warm person this hour and this is how business looks but up next you can join peter lavelle and his guests for another heated debate in the latest edition of crosstalk stay with us here on our. trimmings in this tree even for specialists a voice can produce several sounds it warms the to the means the art of throat singing comes naturally picked up like a language. a language of communicating with nature it said that's where throat singing originates from the unions believe not only animals but also all surrounding objects like reverse forests and different stones of souls imitating the sounds

they believe assumes to capture the power of nature. was. there are special instruments that accompany the singing give gainey says there is even a legend about his instrument a gill it says once there lived a poor shefford who had the best horse that won every competition but jealous people killed it on the course was revived as an instrument. of stop the fall is because of the spirit of the horse coming to his dream he said make an instrument from the tree the sounding board from the leather of my face the strings. and to remember me make an engraving of my head part of the instrument he did so i called the instrument again which means come back and this melody only instrument is called.

to fly as one of the most famous groups in the republic there. it's goal is to tour broad they say for you or peons it's difficult to pick up and sing so i ask them to teach me and see if i can do it the you cheer it up and they were. sharing it oh you. did that was sure to say can you know who was you think gang a r o. but now it is a moody part of the song and not the actual throat singing which i wouldn't even try to repeat. so maybe you have to be born here to be able to sing like this i thought so until i met she looks like a deveny and i don't even speak their language but she is from japan.

most of us to modern minds from two hundred years ago until sappy here she's not planning a professional singing career she keeps practicing just because it's become part of her nature. you. stand. alone in welcome to cross talk i'm peter lavelle to meet us what kind of foreign policy could the world expect from a romney administration his supporters claim he would restore america's honor and standing in the world critics retort his rhetoric in world view are remarkably close to that of george w.

bush and there are those who see romney is no different from barack obama. to cross-talk the world of mitt i'm joined by and shell pfeffer in london he is a journalist and columnist for her outs in washington we have penny lee she is a political communications and government relations strategist and president of bennett strategies and in las vegas we cross to wayne root he is a political commentator and author of the conscience of a libertarian empowering the citizen revolution with god guns gold and tax cuts right cross talk rules and i think that means you can jump in anytime you want when i always go to the first person i got up for the program so i'm going to go to you first is what is make romney just a bush retread when it comes to foreign policy. well you know i'll give you a disclaimer as i start this segment the disclaimer is i am a fan of mitt romney i'm supporting mitt romney i've adores mitt romney.
