continues here in our to ukraine's election commission says it's impossible to determine the results of parliamentary voting in five constituencies it suggesting polling in those districts be repeated today opposition protesters gathered at the commission in kiev accusing the ruling party of election fraud. politics in ukraine are back to being a boiling point only a week after the parliamentary election now we understand that the vote counting still continues with more than ninety nine percent of the votes have been counted so far and as it stands it seems that the ruling party will be winning this election and will be gaining the majority in parliament once again but the opposition is believing that this result has been falsified that it's been rigged and on a number of occasions on certain polling stations where the votes were counted
1:32 pm
there have been fist fights and confrontations between between the authorities between the police and members of the opposition who believe that a result that those particular polling stations were falsified now a thousand around the thousand people have gathered in central kiev near the central election commission to protest against what they believe to be a full supplied result and we understand that protests will continue this only the first action where waiting for the official results from the central action commission to come out and certainly the protests are likely to intensify as the date of the official announcement draws closer the situation is certainly getting more and more tense with calls in the opposition are getting more and more vocal to hand over the mandates to lay down their seats in parliament and thus cancel the result of this election and cause a revote but if the official results if the final result will stand that definitely we're in for a very turbulent new parliament in ukraine because about ten percent of the votes

were guarded by the radical right wing nationalist party and this already has causing lots of controversy in ukraine this party openly supports the insurgent army of one thousand forty's which many believe in ukraine to be nazi collaborators and definitely in the country which suffered greatly from the nazi invasion things like having this party in parliament would definitely cause lots of controversy and we'll probably see more fights in parliament and more heated debates inside the ukraine is the gist of body. stories available for you right now in a coma website include. big business big game with the story of one supermodel one of billionaire husband planning to stage an elephant polo match to mark the. fiftieth. as unusually colored lobster apparently wanted to take part in the latest on the weekend festivities naturally choosing the perfect costume. stores and plenty of others. as britain grapples with the e.u.

over how much it pays for membership cash appears to be leaking in another direction has been revealed that some politicians are spending tens of thousands of pounds flying to exotic holiday spots on so-called fact finding missions. reports. china miami we might all dream of jetting off to some exotic destination but unfortunately in the middle of a double dip recession with thirty measures biting we're being kept to ground not for some lucky and just think of the some of the far flung destinations of fact finding mission one fact that has been found is that these trips costing millions in taxpayers' pounds so take a look at the figures they regularly come in at more than forty thousand pounds per trip and one checked singapore in china cost a whopping seventy two thousand pounds something has clearly gone wrong when you have a co trip costing eight to ten thousand pounds per member of parliament on the trip

they're either either staying in luxury hotels when they could look at more modest accommodation or they're using business class travel when they could travel economy most of the rest of us not surprisingly the public's not impressed i certainly think it's excessive and i think they can say taking the piss but they're taking advantage there's absolutely no question can spend their way less than that because i find a good place. to have the patience to look in the right. sites and if the m.p.'s need some advice on how to say the pennies the public has. send a bill me. i. think even while we'd all love to get into the sunset to help us deal with the economic crisis these excessive expenditures are going to leave many m.p.'s looking like they simply got their heads in the clouds.

1:43 pm
today is that i always. been it's his first interview to a media outlet and we are all honored his agreed to talk to us. he came to moscow to launch the russian edition of your book the empire of terror what kind of threats does washington still pose to cuba. the
1:44 pm
situation has not changed much because the factors that led to the dramatic situation must still out there something similar might happen again because the reasons that triggered the grave international crisis that put the life of all humankind under threat still exist. has nothing changed at all. no because the main players are still the same the people who are in power now carry on with the policies of their predecessors those who were responsible for creating that situation in the first place in other words the world's one superpower is still the only superpower. in so it doesn't matter who wins the election obama do you think foreign policy will remain the same. the truth is there isn't much of a difference between the main political parties in the us including their foreign policy stances. foreign policy strategy is presented as something that both parties
1:45 pm
have approved but the fact is it's devised in the interests of the real decision makers behind it it's not necessarily just one person but it is one system the so-called establishment the real power in this country it consists of politicians and businessmen who make decisions because they have the economic power. so what are the actual threats today. as you know there are a number of ongoing military complex in the middle east and. central asia the us military presence and continuing military operations are explained by the desire to benefit from occupying these countries it's clear that the us is there because it wants their natural resources it's clear that the us policy is very much driven by economic interests. so you think the uprisings in libya tunisia egypt or syria or not brought about by grassroots movements
1:46 pm
calling for more freedom and civil rights. i think they would and they have my full support these countries faced serious social problems which triggered the uprisings in the first place but the trigger for the problems themselves was external we need to uncover the real reason for the unrest for popular discontent how did it come to be if it's rooted in the policies that these countries carried out the policies prescribed by international financial institutions mainly the international monetary fund and the world bank these institutions are nothing more than washington's was used by the ruling elite to push to its financial interests that they seek to profit from these countries financial flows and make them indebted that's already happened to many neoliberal countries this in turn breed social unrest and discolored people rise against their
1:47 pm
leaders because they can't satisfy their own needs. medical necessity but how do you distinguish between the people's pursuit of freedom and civil rights and other countries interference. in theory. i could ask you the same question since you're the professional journalist here let's think back to the role the mass media played in libya syria egypt and other countries where people were really protesting because of the problems triggered as i said before by the neoliberal policies imposed by. the worst part is that the people seeking to benefit from the situation exploited people support to overthrow legitimate governments established in accordance with the law and of the constitutional still they have the government smeared by the mass media to justify subsequent aggression. so what's the difference between democracy and dictatorship that. it's very clear
1:48 pm
democracy is when the constitutional rights are guaranteed when the people elect their government by the majority of votes the laws of the same yet the west isn't satisfied with them in some arab countries and turns a blind eye to their violations in other arab countries are the ones that are its allies. which doesn't bridge the gap between people and the actual lawmakers in many countries people have no say when it comes to adopting was the decisions are made at the top but the reaction might be positive or negative. but that meant that we've been watching protests taking place in latin america and africa as well as in europe and the so-called developed countries. were the reasons for the people in these developed countries to come out into the streets to voice their anger against the very government that it's supposed to represent them the reasons of the same that led to uprisings in north africa and the middle east very often these public protests get distorted in the media and portrayed as
1:49 pm
a violation of public order that has to be suppressed and punished. staggering video footage of brutal police responses in many of these countries and they're the countries that take pride in their democratic system their freedom of speech and people's right to self-determination and money and yet they find it unacceptable that people went out onto the streets to fight for solutions to major issues basic issues like employment and social care that affect everyone. judging by your book and by what you're telling us right now you don't think that the situation in the world has changed but men. latin american leaders are convinced that we now live in a multi-polar world you don't see that. the multipolar world that we all want to see is not here yet but it's our aspiration rather than reality a number of countries not even the countries themselves but their governments their political elite still dominate putting their intentions above the interests of the international community and the governments of different countries define the term
1:50 pm
terrorism differently and what's your definition well. that's an area where double standards are often applied the west has its own understanding of terrorism and the countries that the west suspects of terrorism and puts pressure on as a result of a different approach cuba is against all forms of terrorism wherever terrorist acts take place and whoever is behind them terrorism cannot be a solution or a tool but we disagree with the anti-terrorist policies that the u.s. adopted after nine eleven they're motivated by revenge the measures that the u.s. takes aggressive and destructive they use the war on terror as a pretext for achieving their political strategic and economic goals instead they should be looking at terrorism as something that puts people's lives in danger it is the one you were in angola and participated in the armed conflict there do you think you would do that again or would you think twice before going there now. i
1:51 pm
would do it again what because cuba did not seek any selfish gain when it got involved in angola's internal conflict cuban internationalists went to angola to show solidarity they wanted to stop what the world powers secretly trying to do it in slave destroy and divide angola following their own political and economic agenda. do you think the same for the latin america armed conflicts that are already in the past. looking at the history of. manatee i think they are in the past we have so many other tools which we didn't have before we now have a better understanding of things unfolding around us there are new ways of engaging in this kind of fighting historically only the ruling powers in the financial moguls could use these means i'm talking about the media which could be a very effective weapon in political conflict other governments don't bother to study the reasons for terrorism and order to have
1:52 pm
a successful war on terror we need to know why terrorism exists and the reasons a social isolation unemployment conflicts between different ethnicities and other minority groups that feel neglected by their governments and are often attacked it's important to make sure that all people have access to information where new technologies so that countries can develop what we need to create opportunities for people and this will eliminate risks and break destructive patterns which put humanity in jeopardy as we all know that there's a risk that our planet will soon become uninhabitable. today there is economic freedom in cuba do you think that cuba is free politically as well. cuba is free economically politically and socially we've always been open to everything and there's a certain angle when we talk about political freedom but we have people who are paid by foreign countries especially to go west to organize unrest in cuba. they
1:53 pm
use this money from the us budget i destabilize the political and social situation in the country negative attention to us and discredit cubit internationally this way they're trying to justify a potential attack as in the case of. this has been going on for fifty years so it's nothing new to us but we're interested in the opinions of true cubans the patriots who want our country to prosper and those who want to create not destroyed that we don't care about what traitors think about it and i mean i would guess that i would castro has said that cuba needs some fresh blood in his political leadership what's your vision what will this new leader should be like. the wrong people of different ages holding different political offices in cuba many think that the destiny of a revolution depends on its historic leaders and that's true of its individual leaders who've made crucial political process possible with. speaking of one particular leader how is fidel castro feeling you published his picture
1:54 pm
recently is he feeling well. but if it out of it you know i think the media made a mistake here i didn't take that picture like a couple it was probably another family member with the same last name but not me. i want to ok but really how is fidel castro feeling. told us about his health in a recent article he wrote pretty well in his signature sarcastic style he made fun of those who've been trying to pronounce him dead as many times before people have been doing that for fifty years probably before you were even born you were very young reports about. first started coming when he was in sierra maestra people said he'd been killed and then it kept happening for fifty years in cuba we used to it and no longer pay attention to such rumors. fidel is an amazing person he's done the impossible many times he continues to surprise as even at eighty six he's able
1:55 pm
to find common ground with people everywhere in the world not just in cuba that's why many still see him as an exceptional individual. who has cuba changed. how is it different from fidel zero. like comparing romney and obama and asking how the u.s. will change of romney's elected president maybe it's not the best comparison but what i'm trying to say is that there is no difference whatsoever there is total continuity but nothing that shouldn't change will change. in complete agreement and they have the same strategy in actions and thought this is seen in the way they deal with strategic and tactical issues they may differ on how things should be done but they achieve the same goal. that's why i compare them to romney and obama because i've been asked before about the difference between a democratic and republican presidents my answer is there is no difference they are
1:56 pm
identical but it is the same in cuba. thank you for your time thank you. sigrid laboratory to mccurry was able to build a new most sophisticated robot which on fortunately doesn't give a darn about anything tunes mission to teach creation why it should care about humans in the world this is why you should care only dot com. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realized everything you thought you knew. i'm tom harpur welcome to the big picture.
