a big time. principles that of course is part and parcel of the whole process of european integration for quite some time now. with the removal of. school policy from national governments effectively since the creation of. this really huge democratic deficit. proposals that will give more power to elected officials in brussels and from. particular amounts of power to. stronger states. is fundamentally and is rolling back the whole principles of what european integration was about when when it was founded. after the second world war . the proposed changes to fiscal policy will allow brussels to tell member states how to spam their money twenty maneuvers chairman of the libertarian party of the netherlands thinks it will endanger the european people. if the european union gets

a very limited cas we examine why the us presidential debates remain the privilege of just two candidates despite the support both for show for the pan and promise. us fleet of on manned planes known as drones could be alone in size as the cia has urged the white house to approve its expansion the agency seems to be ignoring the latest statement by the pakistani interior minister is that eighty percent of those killed by american man air strikes were civilians i just want to go has more. they don't even come the hover overhead with an incessant buzz the watch they see and they kill. thousands of deaths all in the name of security of the united states there are terrorists holed up in those moms who murdered three thousand americans they are plotting to strike again this precise claim of self-defense in the face of the ever present terror danger has been in the works for over eight years now more than. hundred drone attacks in the tribal

administrative areas located on the border between afghanistan and pakistan have taken according to different estimates between two and three thousand lives the problem however isn't just with quantity as it is still unclear whether there was killed are actually terrorists the americans themselves often don't know who they've hit and there's huge discrepancy over the focus. that we follow and find out that a lot more civilians are being killed but these are the people that the americans don't tell you about and they actually catch these people over a circular by scholars from new york and stanford university's found that approximately two percent of the total number of deaths were actually terrorists. among the remaining several thousand victims of the drones hundred seventy five were children at one point the u.s. military argued that everyone who was killed in the operations was a militant some believe this stems from americans ignorance in matters concerning

foreign cultures what generally happens in the tribal areas every person that walks around almost an example to see in clothes if you wear a white or a colored. grass and every tribal person carries a weapon and you're forty seven which is. officially pakistan acknowledges the need to wipe out terrorists in the area but it's adamantly against such broad military action on its territory something they have been very vocal about it on strikes are not. counter productive but. roads are good. but washington is quick to hit back with threats of cutting out french will aid an important factor and its relationship with islam a body though pakistan boasts a nuclear arsenal the admit it's hardly the answer to their financial woes and

islam. temper is running out when twenty four pakistani soldiers were killed in the u.s. that airstrike last year the country closed down the nato supply route for seven months and reopened it was only after an official apology from the us secretary of state the united states henry manipulated cynically manipulated and used forces unprepared when the same forces follow their own political or religious agenda it seems to have the opposite was the good thing that's it's that's the tax her own personal financial aid to the us was twenty six think the us was wasn't supposed to have was was the was the was caught. right now and policy director of the independent think tank cast foreign policy thanks pakistan is sending a sick and tired message to the us independent reports say that the only

two percent of the destined drone strikes since two thousand and four have been top level terrorist leaders so that's not the actual policy narrowly targeting. terrorists here so the alternative to a policy that cavalierly kill civilians is to not have a policy that cavalierly kill civilians the pakistani government has now is putting real pressure on the us by giving the international media something to report on in terms of their claims about civilian deaths and weighing in on the side of the n.g.o.s and then a researcher's if the pakistani government really decides that it's going to stop the drone strikes by just any government can do that and we may be seeing the government moving in that direction. now more expert opinion on the u.s. drone offensive in our teeth dot com and also online today. the u.k. suffers from a surge in human trafficking with more people including children being forced into

slavery. the biggest no smoking zone ever that's what russia would become in two thousand and fifteen if you and i had to back a law is approved banning smoking in all public places including bars and restaurants. u.s. voters are waiting for a file on their face off between barack obama and mitt romney before making their choice ballot box but while the debates have become one of america's most watched shows taking part in them remains a privilege for the chosen two candidates from outside the two main political parties almost never appear in televised confrontations green party candidate jill stein and her running mates were arrested outside while trying to get answers to the previous debate and that's and that's despite stein's name appearing on eighty five percent of the ballots across the country band the green party's campaign manager believes that to party domination is due to outdated laws of corporate

control. the reality is that there's nothing in our constitution which prevents a multi-party system from emerging here in the us but we do have laws on the books all across the country and we also have the actions of private corporations that have grown up over the last sixty years to prevent independent parties from challenging the two establishment parties here in the united states the laws that we have in the books prevent or make it very difficult for independent parties to get on the ballot to give voters that choice those laws date from the cold war they date from the mccarthy era in which there was a fear of communism and socialism and they tried to make it very difficult for a progressive party some particular to emerge here at the green party we have overcome many of those challenges joel stein is on eighty five percent of the ballots yet they're still preventing her from taking part in the debate if you look at the success of the green party despite all the obstacles we face it says that there is a great demand for the greens people vote for the greens here in the u.s. and coming out ideological warfare becomes part of global culture hollywood use

resources to the advantage of u.s. foreign policy as it does its best to keep the hero and villain stereotypes places comfortable for the american government. now more army units are reportedly having towards the libyan town of bani walid the area which is to be a bastion of the old regime has been under siege for the last two weeks and saw over a dozen people killed in a standoff with government forces on thursday activists and journalists cancian down believes the former gadhafi stronghold could become the birthplace of the new libyan revolution. i'm getting numerous in europe well actually reports from residents of bani walid that indeed the first so-called nongovernment they call themselves are stable obviously is not a state is four hundred militias conducting more brutal across libya. are sieging but he will leave at the moment including with grad rockets and with chemical

weapons you know at a time when human rights watch and amnesty that have suddenly stated that the rebels are killed around over sixty of gadhafi is convoy a year ago nearly to the day and executed gadhafi himself and of course they did because it was all over you tube from the very first day of the libyan rebellion the atrocities that the rebels money will lead is the really the home the center of the new libyan revolution and mr juggle who is actually a representative to the united nations of the current libyan giunta has just been sacked because he said aren't the people of ben he will lead civilians to why isn't the united nations putting in one nine hundred seventy three resolution in this situation so i think that that's really a worthwhile point to remember. apart from media it's the syrian conflict which could prove a powder cag where the potential to inflame the whole region to days crossed our guest discuss in a couple of hours whether those who backed regime change in syria could ever become

beacons of democracy for the embattled state. i don't think the moment that the saudi royal family or the qataris are out of frame hoarders all felt human rights you know they are not they're not the leaders absolutely but i think it's inaccurate to say that all countries will support those who are in our undemocratic look at turkey turkey is a very democratic country look at egypt egypt has recently had a revolution and it's been my friend and we are says the democracy. let's take the democracy internally if. democracy. and won fair and square. minorities and got to keep i believe. what what is the what the where as i just quoted does and thirty. eight.

drone attacks troops in remote states and analysts hawkish rhetoric top level u.s. politicians maintain all of this as necessary to keep the country safe from terrorism and always eager to help them imprint image of the enemy deeper into american mind as hollywood. now reports. seized in the lives of american citizens to be held as hostages hollywood's latest thriller takes movie audiences back to the iranian hostage crisis of one thousand nine hundred seventy nine the plot surrounds a cia mission aimed at rescuing six americans who escaped the takeover of the u.s. embassy in tehran and hit in the canadian ambassador's own the film glamorizes the cia's secret mission to bring those six americans home however the portrayal of a brave american mission with the backdrop of violent muslims is troubling for some especially at a time when tensions between the u.s. and iran are. if you look at all the propaganda being fed to the american public

right now in terms of iran we have movies here coming out argo we've got the mainstream media over saturation of coverage of the iran situation hollywood is typically labeled as liberal but critics say the industry has been more than willing over the years to create villains out of u.s. political foes and typically raise american intervention abroad as always just patriotic these programs really balance really give you real context and background they tend to mobilize you to think in a certain way not to be critical of what the u.s. government is doing form in the people who share the death to america a little hollywood entertainment has historically followed u.s. policy well reinforcing stereotypes of political enemies from the russians during the cold war you realize you're the first american corruption of guns.

more real. depictions of villainous middle eastern terrorists. this kind of if is used just as a backdrop for entertainment when the real life implications want to being a lot more sinister journalist and middle east analyst believes popular films and t.v. shows combined with the misinformation in the mainstream media can be a dangerous mix a poll of americans just two years ago found seventy percent of americans believe iran already has nuclear weapons this new season of homeland actually begins with an israeli attack on a nuclear facilities as as the main plot point to kind of set everything in motion two days ago israel bombed five nuclear sites deep inside iran tell us about abuse of klein and other members to retaliate against the west as nuanced as that show may think it is it actually winds up reinforcing a lot of stereotypes that. we constantly see well to run in other middle eastern

cities are constantly shown as centers of bile and extremism it is unlikely hollywood will be making an upcoming blockbuster critical of the cia's torture and ridesharing program hollywood provides the images while politicians provide the arguments as u.s. politicians continue wrapping up their fear mongering of nuclear threats and evil dictators hollywood script writers will be hard at work beating the war drums to crack. the shows the fire in los angeles. r t l so it's a lot of stories from around the world south sudan assessors even while protests settling a better route over a transit fees that saw it come to the brink of war with its northern neighbor earlier this year and deal brokered to with sudan saw the countries agree on the use of pipelines and the setting up of a buffer zone along the disputed border you know it's a dance off on the bloody civil war lasting twenty one years before the south and

mantles but why. this year. the colombian government and the guerrilla group far have agreed on a joint declaration to try and so merely have one entry of conflict members from both sides have been negotiating at a secret venue outside although we're talking said to move to cuba in mid november fark is considered a terrorist organization by both the us with washington having supplied colombia's armed forces with military aid to combat the guerrillas. right now into the world of business marina is there with all the very latest of course so house trading session going to have the weekend hi merino as always right now asia is the only one trading by we'll get to see a little glimpse of what happened overnight on wall street for example as well as here in russia as we can see right now it's a mixed sentiment and messes are really on the lords as there is that soon they even somewhat safer place in brussels there is about greece so far in their leaders

have said that there is progress being done in greece but of course they're still reviewing the financial situation of the country now when it comes to wall street investors that were really surprised by the fact that nasdaq tanked that it did so mainly because of google says so let's talk of more about that and what happened basically shares of google dropped by a staggering ninety percent and that's after the internet giants released its third quarter results early by accident the reports show this quarterly profits fell twenty percent from the police this year to just over two billion dollars that was way below analysts expectations that google said the results were supposed to be released after the closing bell trade it was suspended for two and a half hours and when it resumed shares recovered slightly in the day eight percent lower. and a quick look at the russian markets and how the previous session was going it was a mixed tracking basically that we saw overseas oil prices helped slightly as they

were quite high for the day but the markets will open here in about two hours of we'll take a look at the updated figures that are now currencies where the euro is a flat versus the u.s. dollar when it comes to the russian ruble at end of the recession and next to the currency basket well one of the stories i will bring following of course is the saga and now apparently russia's energy a major roles that has made a twenty five billion dollar bid for b.p.'s fifty percent stake now the brits us that's because the software today so we might find out what will happen later in the day the deal is expected to consist of cash as well as shares and the may give b.p. broader access to other deals in russia this comes after their own computer it expired which meant other companies could try and claim b.p. shares other than the russian partners and by that i mean they are consortium but in an unexpected move the russian partners announced that their fifty percent stake is up for sale as well there were many reports that ross that is considering buying

all the shares estimated to be worth over fifteen billion dollars in total what if that did happen it would make the biggest oil producer in the world but we already know that fitch ratings agency said that it risks downgrade not only. rolls that as well and that's because. a lot of money to make that happen and i actually spoke about the studio. gas analyst from renaissance capital and here's what he had to say about the financing of this whole procedure if it goes through. the best structure that would avoid that would allow rosneft to avoid investment grade rating downgrade at the same time for the government to be not diluted beyond below fifty percent that is complicated structure i think that will have. will have to use of the food payment throw just the one of the partners may not get all that cash immediately probably will be getting in installments otherwise rosneft that

will be too high or the government will be diluted below fifty percent and someone from a show don't think abt itself it's all reserves exceed nine billion barrels almost all of the firms for the auction situated in russia and also has a five of its own oil refineries with one of them located in ukraine and over fourteen hundred pratfall stations are in russia ukraine and balad rooms but most importantly take a v.p. proved itself as one of the most profitable oil companies with total dividends region thirty eight billion dollars since the company was set up and this is how business looks to south i do say without c s coming up we have an exclusive interview about the shifts in the global political events and that will be with the president of the u.n. general assembly stay with us for that.

well for the future of science technology innovation all the news developments from around russia we've got the future covered. the gold fever. times thousands into slaves. my father but also among brothers involved in the monsoon and since i started working in amman i stayed here . to multinationals. make it a cash cow to be milked dry and if i think that in this country gold medal logie as an environmental cost which is unacceptable to local business was labeled illegal and controlled by criminals people in order to protect our lives our families and to work in peace. most book most but we are forced to pay protection to illegal groups watch for prices colombia going to pay.
