bides barack obama and republican opponent mitt romney trade blows in the penultimate presidential t.v. debate but the rest of the green party candidate outside fails to make the mainstream headlines. human rights watch claims sixty seven gadhafi fighters and possibly the late libyan dictator himself were executed by rebel militias who are still clinging to power today. and russia is ready to welcome pop diva madonna back this time she's wanted in the courtroom rather than on the stage.

from a new center here in central moscow international news and comment live on r.t. barack obama narrowly edged his republican challenger mitt romney in the second installment of what's been dubbed america's most popular reality show the latest televised presidential debate saw the men clash ahead of next month's crucial poll but one item was missing from the mainstream coverage of the event the arrest of a presidential candidate outside the venue. reports now 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 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 leave and the murder of the american ambassador there and the president did come up with a. 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 i've throughout my presidency is when folks mess with americans we go after them as far as leave yeah the administration would want to present the mission of toppling qaddafi as a huge success as they had before 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 can see entirely 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 smile their world body potion as they stand up where 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 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

this presidential election outside these two parties very few americans know anything about that is because as jule styne told me when we sat 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 the american system is also rigged but in ways that are not as 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 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 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. well as she said going to church can spoke to the green party's presidential candidate jill stein and you can watch the full interview in around twenty five minutes from here on r.t. . well as we've been hearing the candidates from the green libertarian and constitution parties have been excluded from those t.v. debates and largely ignored by the media politics professor stephen zunes 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 to see. so one problem with the american political system is that we don't have apportion representation 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 affect the head nor to get elected specially the president you need to raise in 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 both preferred of the political system where we could get our conscience vote our ideals for what we believe in instead we seem to be naturally stuck in this cycle every four years according to freud the lesser evil in many respects. but well frustrated as i am that there

is not more differences between the candidates at the same time i do know they recognize. it. and even these small differences fit have major major repercussions what will change when america picks its pressed it amid muslim rage working the iran tight rope pushing china russia as occupy anger spreads the two parties still dictate will their. u.s. election close they are to beginning october 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 connell still play a major role in libyan politics. president of the arab law's association says the revelation was already common law mich. i think churchill said that the first victim of war is the truth. looks at the government in libya saying what the rebels

have said well they don't indeed even the major powers that the u.s. and britain are all telling a lie to say the least this is this revelation is not. does now document it but it is not new everybody expected 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 western powers. got themselves 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 was led 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 of

their feet by the revolution and by nato to iran 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 euros but the latest essentials ban all dealings with iranian banks iran's been on a consistent pressure over its nuclear program and it fears it might be off to an atomic bomb went off of the oil embargo financial and trade sanctions nineteen reigning in t.v. and radio stations were taken off air in europe but energy hungry asian countries refused to comply with the european the restrictions with india saying it won't reduce the amount of oil it buys from iran political analyst charlie says that the e.u. cannot dictate to the rest of the won't. the indian government is very firm that we are not going to. any more iranian oil imports we will continue buying from them and therefore the financial arrangements and we won't know. but i think now that there is a time for a regional currencies to gain ground and for trading to happen in our terms of

currencies apart from the euros and the dollars i think the longer the traders who 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 gracie'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 factor in trying to force iran onto its nice 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 more we want better luck here in india most of us feel the same and 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 going through and this impasse has been going on for years now and we would like to see how we could more view from the terms of region change and this kind of warfare or

solutions. the material girl is what did back here in russia done a staged prayers could cost have millions of dollars a moral damages for gay propaganda that's another story just ahead. looking at some dogs you simply do not believe they come speak and goodness how they can run oh. it's an international sled dog race with those driving the dogs. coming from as far away as australia canada and the us they come to russia and everybody is so very friendly they welcomed me with open arms and the scenery is so beautiful it's very much like alaska and so i felt at home the first black dog was brought here from what's truly analysis try and come

to this remote russian village to take part in the race it's not surprising they love it this thing and trail are amazing. but even more amazing is the story of how racing first started here a toll it wasn't the tough mushers of sled dog racing who set the trail ablaze but a nun and for all friends who brought their idea to life. five years ago. bill to duck kennel in the village kids from the local open age came around to take care of the dogs and one day they state their life might seem extreme to some the boys wake up at six to feed to the dogs before school in the evening they spend up to three hours training that full legged friends but smother purse kibble also encourages her kids to become depth hands on the computer and internet the boys who regularly updates their websites and they're in touch with the busy ma the twenty four seven on the phone. but children are the most important thing my own interests not play

any rule any more and regardless of whether parsky has hoskins window race or not she hopes the composition will take place in the village next year. but called these dogs and the children it really is not the weaning but truly just the taking part that counts.
