lead to is it is courage to know how to tax countries and be governments is going to keep growing want to keep. our reform it means we are really busy. territory. and it will lead to new competition so we sure are going to be me certainly you don't even have to give us your powers to get a member states to paralyse only what will happen in the long run and we're going to be the simple solution to get congress to spend less money to start with you know if there's numerous below money that will have to cut spending. well the european financial turmoil has been accompanied by massive protests of violence and often africa in the streets you can find pictures of all of this at r.t. dot com also online for you human trafficking horror in the u.k. it's a new official report shows that the trade in people's lives is on the rise in the

just over two hours from now crosstalk will be here on our to the home country of julian assange she's reportedly been sharing its intelligence on him with washington for around the past two years earlier accused australia of quote disgraceful pandering to its foes naming the u.s. as a key one he's now holed up in acquittals london embassy on able to cross the doorway with the british authorities desperate to get a hold of him. sara for us it's being full months since julian the sons came to seek asylum here at the ecuadorian embassy in that time and we do granted him that asylum and yet still he remains caged behind these doors the british government refusing to grant him safe passage saying that he'll be arrested if he's so much as one toe outside the embassy doozie can see the police presence here at

the door and that's causing huge concern amongst the public at the fact that taxpayers' money is going to fund this diplomatic headache it's costing eleven thousand pounds a day to keep the police here is already told. and that people say is every day killers some of money to be spending to keep the security operation up and running as they did in the magic standoff continues he's wanted in sweden for questioning eva sexual assault allegations julian assange and his team said they were baseless and they were always willing to gates to sweden to face that questioning the main concern has always been that if they were to go to sweden they'd then face its addition to the u.s. and the u.s. some of the. charges that julian assange could be faced with still carry the life sentence the u.s. is named sealy an astonishing enemy of the state and anyone who supports him could

equally be told we went to meet the man himself talking to t.v. in a cell and inside the embassy oh you'll see a spike at the allegations that are being thrown at him then of the fact the full month and he's banished the distance of the cell somewhat from the very personal nature of those allegations that had such a feat impact on head now remember it's been an incredibly bumpy ride today in the solomons the man who was hailed by the british press as a. was then toned down briefly by the very same media institutions wiki leaks continues to do that all important what they set out to do that has been so pivotal in revealing some of the things that the world would have otherwise not known about the iraq war logs the afghan war logs the civilians in some of those countries it has been hugely revelation mean really changed the face of whistleblower a. reporting right been closely following the fate of julian assange before and

after he took refuge of the ecuadorian embassy the timeline of events and more in his case can be found at all website we also saunters exclusive on the program all eleven episodes of variable on the. homeland security now has robot trueness seriously robot fish the drones in the sky spying on you just weren't going off effective revealed that they're going to be using robotic hummingbirds soon who how cute these things can only see you though above the water now the. in the one percent or less of your life that you spend swimming homeland security will be keeping you safe since nine eleven we've heard ad nauseum that we need to be kept safe so americans have given up their rights but

have things gotten that much safer honestly has any of the stuff ushered in some sort of peaceful utopia no it hasn't the best terrorism prevention would be to not bomb secular regimes in other countries like libya so that some fanatical wackos come the power that would help way more than robotic spy fish i hear a lot of people talk about personal responsibility in a lot of speeches and yes personal responsibility is a key component of the american way slit people provide for their own defense what is going to protect you more a shotgun under the bed or terminator tune so hey homeland security can of tuna right but i should might be. sometimes you see a story so you think you understand it and then something else you hear sees some other part of it and realize everything is. welcome to the big picture.

enjoy your favorite. t.v. is not required to watch on t.v. all you need. any time. the for. it's a two fifteen pm moscow time this is on t. with me rule re sushi u.s. voters are waiting for a final faceoff between barack obama and mitt romney before making that choice at the ballot box and while the debates have become one of america's most watched programs taking part in them remains a privilege for the chosen two candidates from this side the two main political

parties almost never appear in televised confrontations and green party candidate jill stein and her running mate arrested while trying to gain entrance to the latest debate that's despite stein's name appearing on eighty five percent of the ballots across the country but man ski the green party's campaign manager believes the two party domination is due to outdated laws and ultimately that of corporate control the reality is that there's nothing in our constitution which prevents a multi-party system from emerging here in the u.s. 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 progressive parties in particular of to emerge here at the green party we have overcome many of those challenges jill stein is on eighty five percent of the ballots yet there 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 while most of the u.s. media limits the people's choice to two candidates we bring you the full spectrum though of political opinion. this presidential election is not just about obama and romney there are also third party candidates on the ticket and they will influence its outcome see a debate among this nation's major third party candidates right here on r t i cover twenty thirty.

in a moment a marina with a business for a while for the cia has the white house to approve a plan to expand the fleet of u.s. drones and the agency seems to be ignoring the latest statement by the pakistani interior minister who said eighty percent of those killed by american on demand as strikes were civilians this figure is backed by the growing anti u.s. sentiment among the population robert naiman the policy director of the independent think tank just foreign policy things pakistan is sending a quote sick and tired message to the united states. independent reports that the only two percent of the destined drone strikes since two thousand for the entire global terrorist leader still that's not the actual policy nearly turned. to receive so the alternative to a policy that cavalierly kill civilians is to not have

a policy to cavalierly kill signal the pakistani government is putting a little pressure on the us by giving the international media something to appeared on in terms of their claims about silly deaths and weighing in on the side of the hinduism and then the researchers if the parts that the government really decides that it's going to stop the drone strikes in pakistan the government can do that we may be seeing the government moving in that direction. at the time to autopsy. and now concerning a. marina good to see you today how do you tell us though i d k p p it's always some sort of drama surrounding it now there's even more from what i understand. well what's happened in this time is one of the top managers of team g.b. has been detained right here in moscow and that's not legations awful corruption within the company itself and basically we're trying to on the side to how this will affect the deal if it will happen of course between the roles that and b.p.

and we have here all of our is standing by for us there the headquarters of ross that there he is hello peter now can you tell us will this a bad deal this will be p.r. also that in every way. well the short answer to that is no it shouldn't really affect the deal at all this particular b.p. manager that is being detained for questioning over allegations of corruption these allegations relate back to when this man was a government official would have to do with these dealings then in terms of what is happening right now with regards to the deal well it seems that rosneft are trying to drum up as much extra revenue as they can to put into into the pot to try and buy the piece fifty percent share in t.n. k b p it seems that they'll be issuing bonds at an attempt to drum up so that sure revenue because they won't be able to get the whopping twenty eight billion u.s. dollars that could be required to buy that fifty percent share through the sale but

they could receive that amount around six hundred fifty million dollars all of that going toward them trying to buy out that fifty percent share as part of their bid to take over the whole of t.i.n.k. b.p. would try to make the largest teach publicly traded oil company in the world well this no there's no reward without risk and the risk which rosneft faces in taking over all the tea in case b.p. comes in the pool of death if they do take over the whole of that company. then they could be in line for around sixty billion u.s. dollars. as much as some european countries are going to be. the oil price to give them some return on their investment if they're playing poker they've got a good hand. and they're hoping that the guy doesn't have a. no in terms of what b.p. . well. afford to pay them twenty eight billion dollars they simply don't

have that type of money well they're going to be looking to be. somewhere between ten and twenty percent of still there won't be a really what they want to hold on to they don't want to be out entirely they just want to be out of the. rights to explore the arctic for oil so all of this on the table for negotiation and london is that if he comes out of those negotiations. well there have been so many twists and turns around that i would not be surprised if we hear something completely random. thank you very much that was you know all of our reporting to us live by the headquarters of raul snuffle we have a little bit of time left so let's take

a look at some international markets starting with europe where there we are seeing . also those leaders have already expressed progress. on the targets but they're still evaluating the situation there another thing investors are eyeing google shares on wall street overnight with all that. and that's because google shares nine percent after the end. early by accident reports show this profits fell twenty percent from the previous year to just over two billion dollars google said the results were supposed to be released after the closing bell in fact trading was even suspended for two and a half hours and when that resume shares recovered slightly to end the day eight percent lower all right and now let's take a look at the russian markets if we may and of course they are tracking not general

lackluster sentiment we're seeing overseas about the r.t.s. and then why stocks are shot over half a percent oil prices have been going up and down a little bit of volatility there so russia investors are really really waiting for big news to make the drastic moves that we're used to and if we can move on to currencies now and see what's happening with the euro dollar and ruble of course when it comes to their euro continues we can against the u.s. dollar the russian currency remains a mix through the currency basket this of friday and of this bring us up to date on this edition of business but do stay with us because up next we have an exclusive and we'll be discussing the latest shift in global politics with the president of the u.n. general assembly stay with us for that. gracefully dancing across the arctic tundra more than just a scenic image it is

a way of life traditionally the people are. herders in many ways they. are also highly skilled and organized. response this summer is depending. on the day we found this particularly camp they were settled near the coast of the. here for families work together to manage nearly a thousand reindeer herding reindeer is not just a job for the people. and a way of life. but they can use almost every single part of the reindeer to help them survive. a deer is a means of transportation. equipment. for the outside and. the life in the tundra is harsh and so before winter hits many of the children are

helicoptered to the center of the district for boarding school. students learn different languages utilize modern technologies through specialized grant programs and even learn arts skills all within a protected environment the school was founded. a scientist who wanted a better way of life for his people but even with the most progressive ideas and education many say they don't want to trade the modern life. i have returned to the tundra and i actually like it here if you're outside there's fresh air fresh water looks at the site you can see here it's a joyful sight. us. sentiment that hopefully ensures that russia's northern reindeer will have caretakers for generations to come.

the general assembly is the main deliberative organ of the united nations one hundred ninety three countries belong and the art of diplomacy is constantly tested the new president at the helm of this sixty seven session is thirty seven year olds . he spent the past five years as a reserve his foreign minister today he deals with the world's problems sitting down exclusively now with r t mr president thank you very much for sitting down with r.t. thank you very much indeed my pleasure you have assumed the presidency position in a very difficult time these days many would argue that the un. is dealing with somewhat of a crisis in confidence many see the institution as a stage where disagreements are more often displayed rather than all parties seeking or coming to any kind of agreement or solution the most obvious

example here's the crisis in syria is the un more about preventing international military interventions rather than resolving conflicts with what i witnessed in the last few weeks was a deliberation after delegation and i had the chance to talk to almost everybody and the last couple weeks ninety one by a lot of the meetings there was ninety one below actual meetings i mean a week it was it was a pretty tall order but i tried to put forward is the necessity to act swiftly and to act so that the violence stops now in my opinion. a political future of syria that is to be decided first and foremost by the syrian. i believe it's a strategically important very important for the world but it has to come second to the cessation of the violence and hostilities we just went through the general debate which is the highly.
