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 the 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 two 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 its own set of rules which are very

demanding very detailed and bureaucratic and require a lot 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 on to the ballot basically by hiring signature gatherers and people to keep track of this is getting seems that 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 out we didn't voters the supreme court passed and another law which it just and living all limits from contributions and invalid and what i was going to add was that in our state when we passed it by voter referendum the 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 percent democratic party they repealed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 being 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 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 fit. she had 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 been big enough to make sort of it took a 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 earlier. in majority of americans a substantial majority of americans was very sympathetic and supportive of the agenda that occupy was are but really i mean 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 an 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 let's talk foreign policy but switch gears for many years now probably since the collapse of the soviet union every u.s. president ever. every administration took the idea of the us being the wall police sort of to the next level president obama was no exception what is it what is it the basis of this walled police policy as you see it and would you carry on with that as a 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 more secure for it we spent trillions of dollars in iraq when we withdrew from iraq how do 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 iran 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 elections 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 i.

that's the legacy no one should be proud keeps of scrap metal littering pristine arctic landscape building stilton over their foundation pipes spewing black smoke over the snow covered peaks the traces of the soviet industrial activity on the bergen archipelago don't make a pretty picture the guiding principle here is the worse the better locals like to tell the story that back in soviet times when norwegians were visiting barons were they also on the express lanes when it was and how prosperous the settlement was well times have obviously a challenge where they saw it lags they still attracting a region tourists are barons work i would then commerce watch native cash that's why when. our goal is common as was uncovered here a few days ago instead of throwing it away the local administration decided to paint the bin you and put it at variance with central square that in the nine

hundred eighty daryn's work was a burgeoning mining community the soviet union was determined to maintain its own costs. are located halfway between north america and western europe in archipelago is part of norway but a special status that allows other countries to set up industrial bases here in the middle of the cold war it served as the use of stars westernmost outpost now it's one of the soviet union slask preserved relics. of the soviet union if it was cut off from any financial support for two decades curious interested i think it could be even more appealing for russia's treaties to keep its presence on spitsbergen russia still maintaining a coal mine here but in terms of profit is far behind local souvenir shops so between. bill it is a big hit the defunct arne curtain still helps keep the money flowing. it's the

russians doing your show but you can explain rumbles they're also. the local administration is increasingly under pressure to bring the infrastructure up to more than standards these modernization efforts are not very popular with tourist operators if you come into a very authentic place like non-sport should stay the way it is that would be my wish i mean that's the part of the a little you know authentic tradition. i should not i would not like to have it in a shiny condition to be on those they tend to change even for the better is not always good for business something that even a local band has become attuned to when they try to add the morning russian songs to the repertoire the audience called older wanted to hear it was a song comfortably familiar.

if anything it was

a lick i think because. top stories this hour. barack obama and republican opponent mitt romney trade blows in the penultimate presidential t.v. debate while the green party presidential candidate is a arrested outside the venue as she was trying to make her way in to be part of the debate. human rights watch claim sixty seven gadhafi fighters and possibly the late libyan dictator himself are executed by rebels the findings also imply the very same militias that toppled the colonel still play a major role in libyan politics. and 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 homosexuals propaganda during

her recent concert their. stories in fifteen minutes from now in the meantime is next with sports these. thank you very much but welcome to the sports headlines coming up leaving it right russia make it four wins from four in world cup twenty fourteen qualifying but azerbaijan pushed them all the way. kings sweden germany to the footballing world by recovering from four goals down to draw the group c. encounter in bali. on the medals on their mind we catch up with two of russia's prime candidates for success at the next winter olympic games in sochi. but first let's start with football what england have drawn the latest world cup qualifier with poland in warsaw the match was played on wednesday because of choose days

fixture was postponed because of torrential rain england were below par but took the lead through a deflected wayne rooney header on thirty one minutes and side appeared to be heading for a crucial three points. glic leveled for the house with nineteen minutes to play the point but singling top of the group one point ahead of montenegro where they cover played a game all. the more russia maintained their winning record in world cup qualification it's now four wins from four much as for fabio capello's men and they are yet to concede but choose days one zero win over azerbaijan was not straightforward which of importance explains. russia will finish two thousand and twelve on top of group passed a perfect record of four wins from four games however they were made to work very hard for the latest victory against azerbaijan however three points is three points from here capello was delighted that his team have yet to concede and therefore qualifying group games so far as the deal is to do this will be a good game as

a bird or a fool's to be reckoned with in the first half of games and they don't concede but the voters organize the very world to 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 for 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 has been that's the best they can play i feel sorry for them russia continued to be frustrated in the second half despite alexander has a cover on should all kovan given to combat of all going close but they're finding it very difficult to break down and azerbaijan's side are often putting ten men by high in the ball and had no real interest in attacking themselves well you had

a number of close opportunities russia to create a number of chances but a combination of good goalkeeping and poor finishing kept the scores dollars going into final ten minutes it's always difficult to play against such sides who just want to defend in a way it's easy to go up against portugal who actually want to play football i don't know what they wanted to do there today that. i'm happy we won you can play good football and lose but we got the result we needed i think it's better to play poorly and win and qualify for brazil but as it. well it seemed as well as of us are going to hold on to what would have been a completely undeserved. points just with minutes from time roman 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 they really struggled to be teams or even score against teams who put a lot of men behind the ball amounts reasoning that fabulous goal to work on his side want to be successful looking at the positives russia has set top of group

earth with four wins from the four games they 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 free to r.t. . sway in russia's group israel moved up to second place following a routine three nil home when either luxembourg but one of the shocks of the evening occurred improved portugal held to a one one draw by northern ireland side one hundred fourteen places below them in the world rankings an incredible result and one which pushed russia's chances of securing the automatic place for brazil twenty fourteen. meanwhile sweden completed one of the greatest comebacks in the history of international football the hosts completely on top for an hour in germany rowdies message in the fourth goal here after a bracer miroslav klose and a pair of strike in the first half however for sweden the show was only just starting the latter abraham of each mikael lustig johan elmander on the rasmus elm

to the fool in producing one of the most sensational comebacks of all time elms equaliser coming well into injury time to send the visiting fans into raptures germany for sweden for the follow result. now in south america where the world cup will actually be held argentina remain top of their group after beating chile two one in santiago the visit didn't wait long to show their attacking prowess world player of the messi putting argentina in front of the twenty seven minutes another primera liga star gonzalo it why a added the said. and soon afterwards sergio aguero could have got his name on the scoresheet but the woodwork denied him on the vatican chaney would pull one back in injury time but all three points were to go to the stand alone need as in south american qualifying. move to tennis where it's been a successful stop for maria kirilenko at the kremlin cup here in moscow the seven

seeded russian is through to the second round she had no problems in seeing off compared to the lane of his nadir in straight sets meanwhile to feel out of its end of sweden but a place in the third round following a surprise straight sets win over marion bartoli six three six love on the third seed then allan wozniacki is on her way to victory over us a lot rather than sky. so unfunny on the ice where they such a winter olympics are now less than five hundred days away it's a big eighteen months or so of sport here in russia training has moved up again for many medal hopefuls including the young russian ice dancing pair of elaine and unique and the key to cast off michael kors caught up with them. with just sixteen months until their own winter olympics in sochi russia is making sure their athletes are getting well prepared and so in ice dancing they've secured the services of legendary coach nikolai morales of to train young hopefuls yelena even if you keep up with.

them. but he has his work cut out for him because the ruling he germany has shifted away from russia in recent years americans meryl davis and charlie white as well as canadian pair test of virtue and scott moore stole the show in vancouver twenty ten and shared gold and silver at the last three world championships but the lender is confident about her and her partner's chances this season. like everybody's well then 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 if you would this program we can move forward it won't be easy for the pen but coach morals of is

a must of choreography has been tinkering with their programs now the music that let me tell you train is generic that will be used in the coming season it will be done soon to specifically made custom music that will be used for the courtesy and done it's something that train and the guy miles of hopes will give them that little bit of extra competitive advantage of the move to get as the 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 lena 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 it was was like singles and we have a really tough characters so we all want to be like like they're

so and after right now like in two years i understand how it is so we need to be one couple one like to help each other right now is no problem so we having fun oh 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 it's 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 without any emotion in this week however on character we want to sure this bunch we've been working together for a long time and words. very comfortable with one another. with the couple of patently happy with each other as well as being excited about performing to their new music it's clear they intend to take the ice dancing world by storm and with their trainer threatening to quit if they don't they won't want to disappoint. moscow region. and that is all from the wall to spoil for now but there's plenty
