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 voters 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 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 tool horse races exactly 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 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. it's own set of rules which are very

demanding very detailed and bureaucratic and require lots 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 onto the ballot basically by hiring signature gatherers and people to keep track of this is getting teams and the money is too 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 of politics. in my home state in massachusetts we passed a law to get the big money we do voters the supreme court passed and another law which you can and living all limits from contributions and belittle and what i was going to add was that in our state when we passed it by voter referendum that 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 just been 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 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 in the democratic party 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 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 being 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 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 in the polls early on that a majority of americans a substantial majority of americans was very sympathetic. porritt of of the agenda

that occupy was arguably the majority 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 corporations congress approval rating is eleven percent so it is people are unhappy but it's a silent by designing this 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 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 of 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 you was being the wall police sort of to the next level president obama was no exception what is it what is of the basis of this wall to police policy as you see it and would you carry on with it as the president. this world police policy is bankrupting americans we're spending about a 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 want to secure. or

if we spend 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 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. surged 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 very terrorist organizations that you are trying to go after in the first place what is it that makes you. concerned with regards to make 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 in 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 ran 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 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 election is 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 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 i .

the mighty volga that runs deep through the russian soul has provided inspiration for songs and poems and is the country's main north south artery and decades ago schumann ingenuity connected it to the dawn river to the west the vocal dawn canal is an engineering marvel within a day a vessel can pass the canals thirteen blocks 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 it powers 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 a river like this isn't without its cost. fishermen have been watching fish stocks for years they see the slow damage the downing of the river has done especially to

russia's prized sturgeon the source of caviar. the hydroelectric plant has done significant damage because it's 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 flow by the plant has made building on the whole this 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 last the voice of the voters of color jay might start being heard. the first time in fifty years the rules will contain a point on maintaining biodiversity in the river we still have a chance to bring the volga battle. life. meaning that the mighty vogue is treated

with the respect it deserves.

the headlines on our t.v. bytes barack obama and republican opponent mitt romney trade blows in the put all presidential t.v. debate by the green party presidential candidate is arrested outside the venue she was trying to make her way in to be part of the debate. iran looks to turn a profit despite the e.u. sanctions over its nuclear program currently about half of india's payments for oil have made in euros but the latest sanctions ban all dealings with iranian banks. that russia is ready to welcome pop diva madonna back only this time she's wanted in the courtroom rather than on stage she's accused of violating some petersburg's laws against her sexual propaganda during her recent concert. are more news in

fifteen minutes time for now though it's paul and the sport. thank you very much rory welcome back to the sports headlines here's what's coming up. leaving it late for russia make it four wins from four in world cup two thousand and fourteen qualifying but azerbaijan pushed them all the way in moscow. comeback king sweden stunned germany on the footballing world by recovering from four goals down to draw their group c. encounter in. the medals on their mind we catch up with two of russia's prime candidates for success for the next winter olympic games in sochi. russia have maintained their winning record in world cup qualification is now four wins from four matches for fabio capello's men and they yet to concede but tuesday's one will

win over azerbaijan was not straightforward which of importance explains russia will finish two thousand and twelve on top of group asked for a perfect right to water four wins from four game. however they were made to work very hard for the latest victory against azerbaijan however three points is three points and capello was delighted that his team have yet to concede and therefore qualifying group games so far as the d. has to do this will be a good game as a bird or a force to be reckoned with in the first half of games and they don't concede but the voters organize the very world the show this organization tonight but we managed to win and this is a very important result for us. luzhniki was far from full but the fans but did turn up certainly did their best to cheer on their respective teams azerbaijan showed from the early encounters but they haven't come to moscow to make up the numbers to the russians until around a quarter of an hour mark before they started to hit their stride but they weren't

helped by playing against a team who really weren't interested in playing football and were very rough to play against themselves they did nothing throughout the game they never looked to attack only try to stop us history and that's the best they can play i feel sorry for them russia continued to be frustrated in the second half despite alexander because your government should all kovan to be combative all going close but they're finding it very difficult to break down and azerbaijan side often putting ten men by how in the ball and had no real interest in attacking themselves well very had a number of close opportunities russia to create a number of chances but a combination of good goalkeeping and paul finishing the scores goal or stay in the final ten minutes it's always difficult to play against such sides who just want to defend you in a way it's easy to go up against portugal her if you want to play football i don't know what they wanted to do earlier today that they were more than just i'm happy we won you can have a good lose but we got the result we needed i think it's better to play poorly and

win and qualify who is ill if the brazilian story which it seems worse about sharma going to hold on to what would have been a completely undeserved points for just with minutes from time robin shock of hit home from the penalty spot to save russia's blushes. but it seems that russia still having to learn a plan b. just isn't the euro championships in two thousand and twelve but it really struggled to be teams or even score against teams who put a lot of men behind the ball amounts recently to be a capello's goal to work on their face i want to be successful well here the positives russia said top of group passed with four wins from the four games that played so far with no goals conceded and things are looking very good for fabio capello's side going into two thousand and thirteen richard pombo three don't see. well elsewhere in russia's group israel moved up to second place following a routine three nil home where the luxembourg one of the shocks of the evening occurred in porto portugal held to a one one draw by northern ireland decide one hundred fourteen places below them in

the world rankings an incredible result and one which pushed russia's johns's of securing the automatic place for brazil twenty four day. meanwhile sweden completed one of the greatest comebacks in the history of international football the hosts against germany they were playing completely on top for an hour in berlin. the fourth goal here after a brace from there was laughter and a pair of matches aka strike in the far south however for sweden the show was only started rattling the hell of it because i listed johan elmander on the rasmus elm to the fall introducing one of the most sensational comebacks over time elms an equaliser coming well into injury time to send a visiting fans into raptures germany for sweden for was the final result. now it's going to be hard to produce anything as thrilling for any other of the teams in action but england and pilot didn't even have the chance to try that great age picture called off duty to ensure a controversial as the warsaw national stadium has

a roof which wasn't used for hundreds in and ready made for nine exide will give it a second try very shortly that kicks off in ten minutes. now in south america where the world cup will actually take place argentina remain top all. that group after beating chile two one in santiago the visitors didn't wait long to show their attacking prowess world player of the message putting argentina in front of twenty seven minutes another primera liga star gonzalo higuaín added the second soon afterwards sergio aguero could have got his name on the scoresheet also but the woodwork denied him on this occasion he would pull one part in injury time to free points were to go to the stand alone leaders in south america qualifier. now let's move to tennis where it's been a successful start for maria kirilenko at the kremlin cup here in moscow the seventh seeded russian is through to the second round have no problems in seeing off compatibly elena vesnina in the meantime sophia albertson of sweden but to

place also around three following a surprise two sets win over marion bartoli six three six love and caroline wozniacki who is the third seed will take on a rather advanced got a little bit later on. down to the ice finally where they saw she winter olympics are now less than five hundred days away a big eighteen months of sport in russia training has moved up a gear for many medal hopefuls including the young russian ice dancing pair of you elaine l. nico and nikita katz the up of. caught up with them. with just sixteen months until their own winter olympics in sochi russia is making sure the athletes are getting well prepared and so in ice dancing they've secured the services of legendary coach nicholai morales of to train young hopefuls yelena even. up.

but he has his work cut out for him because the ruling had germany has shifted away from russia in recent years americans meryl. davis and charlie white as well as canadian pair tests of virtue and scott more stole the show in vancouver in twenty ten and have shed gold and silver at the last three world championships but dilemma is confident about her and her partner's chances this season. like you have of these world and after we feel we feel we can do it was in the top five so we're stating anyone who would like to have skied test this canadian. range so. now i feel with this program we can move forward it won't be easy for the pair but coach morals of is a must of choreography and has been tinkering with their programs on the music that live and he tell you training is generic that will be used in the coming season

they'll be done some to specifically made custom music that will be used for the tour of the sea and done it's something that train and miles of hopes will give them that little bit of extra competitive advantage of the move but as if no one has heard this music before which makes them fairly interesting it's a brand new composition where the musicians created music to our specific movements i'm still coming to terms with it but both when and i really like it. being one of the only couples to have had music specifically composed for them is a credit to the duo but the big question as always is just how well they get along with each other it was a little we had some problems that was it was like singles and we have a really tough characters so we all want to be like like live there. and after right now like in two years i understand how it is so we need to do one

couple one like to help each other so right now it's no problem so we having fun always on the practice it's always easy for one side of the couple to be happy about the status quo but it always takes two to tango. all of that a little bit of the plot of german training there's always going to be disagreements but that's part and parcel of working together you shouldn't be skating and dancing with itanium ocean in the spotlight we have our own character we want to show it but we've been working together for a long time and we're very comfortable with one another. with a couple of pounds lee happy with each other as well as being excited about performing to the new music it's clear they intend to take the ice dancing world by storm and with a trainer threatening to quit if they don't they won't want to disappoint my coaching cook mosco region. and that is all from the world of sports now but i'll be back with more and just on the two hours time here on auto he didn't join me that.
