1:01 pm
from the new center here in central moscow international news and comment live on r.t. if you're just joining us a very warm welcome barack obama narrowly edges republican challenger mitt romney in the second installment of what's being dubbed america's most popular reality show the latest televised presidential debates all the men clash ahead of next month's crucial poll but one item was missing from the mainstream coverage of the event the rest of a presidential candidate outside the venue now he's got a gun reports 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 will be better at competing with china and the rest of the world in terms of economic growth and it was very it
1:02 pm
was very little on foreign policy there was one more debate coming up before the election that one specifically on foreign policy where there was one question about leave and the murder of the american ambassador there and the president did come up with a much punch line to that he said this was up we were going to find out who did this and we're going to hunt them down because one of the things that are 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 the tragic attack this of pember 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 and who will provide for a better show essential and that says the news cycle here where you focus entirely on around the debates has been like one big reality t.v.
1:03 pm
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 or they sit down during the debate they are of course have this cardio ground with the viewers reaction to what they are saying so there is a very skilled pool of build up of excitement here which makes for great reality t.v. but it's a big question whether americans really have a choice something that has gone cool. please 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 debate was being held 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
1:04 pm
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 an 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 as straightforward 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
1:05 pm
a two party race as far as these 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 add 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. ghana spoke to the green party's presidential kind of a joel stein and you can watch that interview in full in just over an hour from now here on altie. the candidates from the green the potemkin constitution parties have been excluded as we just heard from ghana from those t.v. debates and largely ignored by the media politics professor stephen zene says it's america's electoral system that's robbing people of a genuine choice unfortunately the choice is not as great as many of us would like
1:06 pm
to see. one problem with the american political system is that we don't have a portion representation that we have so it's a winner take all system by state through the electoral college pretty much realistically anyway the only choices are these two main parties combined effect had nor to get elected specially the president you need to raise millions and millions of dollars and you have to of course go to people who have that kind of money and many americans myself included with the preferred of the political system where we could get our conscience about our ideals or what we believe in instead we seem to be naturally stuck in this cycle every four years of voting for the lesser evil in many respects. well as frustrated as i am that there is not more differences between the candidates at the same time i do i do recognize.
1:07 pm
that you can even these small differences fit have major major repercussions. what will change when america picks its president amid muslim rage walking the around tightrope pushing china and russia as occupy anger spreads the two parties still dictate will there be. a selection of clothes they are to be giving up to twenty second. libyan rebels executed sixty seven gadhafi fighters and possibly the dictator himself a year ago that's according to a new report by human rights watch the findings also imply the very same militias that toppled the colonel still play a major role in libyan politics so i'll look to the president of the arab lawyers association says the revelation was already common knowledge i think churchill said the first victim of four is the truth if one looks at the government in libya
1:08 pm
saying what the rebels have sad well said indeed even the major powers that the u.s. and britain there were all telling. the least this is this revelation is not. you know is now documented but it is not new everybody expected that the number i've attended a number of hearings in the human rights council where people were questioning the number of civilians who were killed by nato but i venue of the day nato and the u.s. and the western. sounds involved in removing the regime without knowing who with whom they are going and that they have not looked at what is the possibility that after any any attempt to try and say that the revolution she didn't lead with some sort of a policy libya this is just not correct the people revolted nato jumped on board and that's the result of it so of course the human rights abuses were done by their
1:09 pm
feet by the revolution and by nato. tehran says it's working with new delhi to find ways to settle payments for iranian oil currently about half of india's payments are made in neuros but the latest e.u. sanctions ban all dealings with iranian banks there are other consistent pressure over its nuclear program and it fears it might be after an atomic bomb on top of the oil embargo financial and trade sanctions nineteen iranian t.v. and radio stations were taken off air in europe but energy hungry asian countries refused to comply with the european restrictions with india saying it won't reduce the amount of oil it buys from iran political analysts charlie says that the e.u. can't dictate to the rest of the world. the indian government is very for that we're not going to all. anymore of iranian oil imports and then we will continue buying from them and therefore the financial arrangements are being worked out but i think now that there is a time for a regional currencies to gain ground and for trading to happen in our to rid of
1:10 pm
currencies apart from the euros and the dollars i've seen the longer the trade will go on and the sanctions will not impact india's ability to have relations with iran europe is in a state of decline i need to be becoming grace it's i think they are punching above their weight in trying to impose a solution on the iranian question and i think it is fanciful to imagine that you're up against a whole be the decisive screen actor in trying to force iran onto it since i think the west unfortunately is not interested in a solution they want to keep this part modeling short of war i mean the real solution is no sanctions no war we want better luck here in india most of us feel assuming i mean this is totally unreasonable the kind of pressure that's being exerted on a country where the allegation that it's developing nuclear weapons is not even true and this impasse has been going on for years now and we would like to see how we could more view from the threat of region change and this kind of warfare toward
1:11 pm
solutions. the material girl is wanted back here in russia madonna's stage presence because the millions of dollars in moral damages for gay propaganda that's another story just ahead. the sun rises over what seems like analyst forest but here in new directions crime hundred kilometers north of light of all stalk as in much of the world it's disappearing at a catastrophic rate. bloggers both illegal and those finding ways to outsmart the system for 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 the forest is enormous and our chances are slim now for now we can stay in our
1:12 pm
dreams but as soon as we find solid tracks we'll have to drop our wheels and get out silently in order not to scare the loggers off alexander 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 tracks 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 is soft here which means that there's twelve 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. this team says they're illegal 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 says the government isn't doing enough to stop it. there's no
1:13 pm
one tries to stop them in just five years the force will be gone what will the people who live after 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. wealthy british style. markets why not come to. find out what's really happening to the global economy

1:15 pm
months turkey's also stepped up its war rhetoric towards its neighbor resulting in cross border shellings and the interception of syria bound flights well last week suspected militants attacked a number of turkish schools leaving several students injured a group of master salience being linked to the p.k. k. through molotov cocktails the security video shows a teacher trying to prevent one of them entering a classroom well for more on this we cannot talk to professor hussein back chief from the middle east technical university. while turkey is increasingly alarmed by kurdish activity is this new escalation and what will kurds achieve if they are actually targeting schools and civilians. first of all the crude issues should be real further escalate the turkish government is going on with the progress we do to form so this is why. it's getting more and more aggressive aggressive. sometimes attacking the schools harming the school children it looks like
1:16 pm
ron if you were wrong it's very difficult to understand why. the schools the children are educated so this is one part where the other related question. in case of syrian situation i think turkey is not going to attack syria there will be no conflict between turkey and syria how. will remain one of the domestic and foreign policy headaches of turkish politics and turkish government last sunday. party had convention and very clearly openly they were demanding from his government if you want to know me this is a new situation it is not anymore that they want to have the language or their culture now it is a monster further they want to get now out on the one step further independence it
1:17 pm
will be again the big conflict for the future how are the troops one disadvantaged turkey russia turkey syria iraq and iran they are not interested to provide their lands. so that there is a crude discount to this kurds will be divided among the four powers includes of turkey terror will continue but the turkish government is not going to give i think any autonomy in the sense of political freedom but as you say being issued the kurdish issue is escalating is that because of the tensions the instability we're seeing in syria now and if so how should the turks react. it is related to of course. the careers have now much more money they
1:18 pm
control the certain parts and. in the history in the last thirty years the killer say have never been so strong i mean has never been the strong. government and turkish army and also get such a large space to read they can move together with the other two describes to be in syria or in northern iraq but. as terror organization operating in turkey they will not be successful to establish an independent state. as all passed out on me like in northern iraq the turkish government initiative coolish optimistic i think it will continue the economic development making progress and this is why i. think the more turkish economy is getting better all of the more politically trying to create high tension and try to destroy
1:19 pm
not only the schools but also. economic activity in the region so it will continue there is no solution at the moment however. the turkish. government is continuing with this. policy we will see where it will lead but there will be hardly an independent autonomous region in turkey as called could be in the near future group or not the case i think professor same backing from the middle east technical university thanks very much for talking to us live there from tel aviv. you're welcome. criminal investigations been open against prominent opposition figure out software sick used to plotting mass riots in russia that comes after a recent documentary claimed he received millions of dollars in orders from georgia

1:21 pm
order to try and drum up donations political donations for his party left front so no charges brought against him has been released however these all of this is a very serious investigation the charges that are being investigated bring with them a very severe penalty anybody convicted of looking to organize riots or this type of mass unrest could face up to ten years in prison and the investigation continues . the pop diva madonna is want to back in russia although this time it's to appear before prosecutors not her fans that she can material compensation from the material girl insisting parts of her recent concert left people morally damaged. explains. 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
1:22 pm
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 in there for her to she will show up to the st petersburg court 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 essentially promoted so-called homosexual propaganda during her concert there 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 so these groups allege that what madonna did effectively trampled on that law violated the law and supposedly psychologically damage the conscious and
1:23 pm
the feelings of the residents who were exposed to that madonna is no stranger to controversy from burning crosses in a music video in the u.s. to exposing a nipple in istanbul to speaking out picking a fight with a national front in paris by screening a video of their leader with a swastika on her head and of course turned 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 especially if they don't get the summons translated it doesn't really seem likely we'll of course keep following the story for you. because you know for all the latest on the markets hi bill yeah with the russian markets they gained this wednesday muscles and thus is a. jested the latest. reports of the russian. are now selling their haul in the event state oil major.
