government's flagship employment program critics also say it stifles any individuality young job seekers may have the first met one of the many for straight to job hunters in the week. for months now twenty five year old j. paxton's being keeping a video diary about his experiences on the government's work programme today were. the work programs the government's flagship scheme that pays private sector organizations to place people at work and they called it a revolution in welfare but the first figures released since its launch revealed a resoundingly failure something that hasn't surprised slightest save left a to going keep his appointment now it seems pretty tightly regimented we watch people running in all morning to keep that appointment g.'s been coming to this job center once a fortnight for the past six months that he's been on the government's work

programme in the time he hasn't found a single job unfortunately that's not uncommon the latest figures released by the department of work and pensions say that joe is just one of hundreds of thousands of people signed up to that work programme skein he found absolutely nothing in fact between jean two thousand and eleven and july this year of all the people who were signed up to the work programme only three point four percent were found work far below the target of five point five percent which is the number of people who find work without any sort of programme it means that people like you to stickley less likely to find a job the next their own no work programme whatsoever can you talk of. the last six months what has the experience been on a on a daily basis with this work programme well. einstein once said the definition of
11:34 am
insanity is to do one thing and then to repeat that action and expect a different result and after doing the same thing going to the same results for six months i'm starting to feel pretty insane that it is maddening the frustration be anguish despair most of the time in the experience is having serious effects are actually gone to the doctors a couple of times because i have are sleeping cycle problems i'm sleeping way too much and i should be the doctor's them sounds interesting from what sounds pretty horrific when you feel. like oh you've got clinical depression. at the start i was drawn science i'm going to be the next greatest thing show the world it's like i don't want to take. a drug to do something more constructive
11:35 am
things are pretty much where it's gone. tells us that the one size fits all formats is the work program is stifling the individuality of young. people i speak to quite intelligent quite bright some of them have to bring some of them. some of them are quite well skilled and they hate being told what to do and they like to take appropriate action for themselves and usually quite good at finding work for themselves. in these difficult with the work program what we see now is that in fact when you get the best of the private sector involved when you pay them lots of money they actually do worse than doing nothing at all we asked the government why that program was pretty things that pull results and why the figures they really seem designed musk the cheeks of the face. he responded saying. it's ridiculous to suggest the work programme is not helping people into work despite being faced with
11:36 am
a rain suit coming it seems the government still doesn't want to listen to people like j a telling then loud and clear i regret to inform you that on this occasion you have been unsuccessful. in london. russia says it's drawing up a list of american officials it considers guilty of human rights abuses it's in response to the so-called magnitsky list of banned russians approved by washington lawmakers this week it's named after the lawyer who died in russian police custody in two thousand and nine the u.s. blames moscow for his death but journalist on the bar says the raw exposes american hypocrisy russian foreign minister should respond to such an obvious insult where the united states probably the preeminent violator of human rights at this point in terms of scale magnitude and depth pointing its finger at anyone certainly the person who's having their finger that finger in their face should reply point
11:37 am
out you have no standing to accuse us of anything and stand up for themselves canada has been voting and acting in concert with the united states for the last few years now if you look at the votes on israel for example you'll find the united states canada and you know like some small rock in the middle of the pacific voting on one side and the rest of the world on the other now the big news stories this past week china is one india against pursuing oil exploration in the disputed south china sea this after new delhi threat to send warships to the resource rich area to protect its interests and i was the go pers can offer explains though a conflict between the two nations could see both countries lose out. as china and india rise economically their military muscles are growing as well both need energy to keep that kind of growth going and that may be putting the two asian giants on a collision course because of the mess that nationalism the indian government
11:38 am
cannot afford to be seem to be weak in dealing with china obviously a higher power with government. over two hundred billion barrels of oil and large amounts of natural gas that's more than the vast majority of the world's energy rich nations have all hidden under the south china sea china claims most of the territory for itself but india has also managed to get access by buying a stake in a vietnamese gas field shortly after hanoi accuse chinese boats of sandwich dodging exploration india warned it's ready to use force to defend its interests hopefully as i said that should not be leading to a longer term conflict but you know it's it's nearly inevitable because all these countries now large ambitions of becoming global actors and players both china and india have been pumping billions of u.s. dollars into their armies and navies holding drills on
11:39 am
a regular basis and beijing has also announced its police will soon start to board and inspect foreign vessels sure the vast oil reserves in the south china sea are just too big of a crash for neither china or india to pass out because i really want to accomplish between the two economic power houses so it's a really a game that neither can win the two asian giants can't afford any weaknesses and that would make it easier for other countries to take a bite of the vast resources the u.s. has long been increasing its economic and military presence in the region this in yes there west strike to pick this expansion by bolt in the china dance of the last . four holes that the last thing that they want is a military clash so if the two eastern powerhouses can share nicely the kashmir very well go on to some other players already prowling on the sidelines you've got this kind of party. thanks for being with us tonight live from moscow coming up
11:40 am
we'll be discussing the ins and outs of fox standoff with the government one of the organizations officials speaks to us right after this break. in the glow of russia's north from away from civilization and a new three hour helicopter treat from the nearest village. they still don't family have been living here for a long time in tents made of reindeer skins. lodging

11:42 am
a chance to come across each other they belong to different worlds even though there's sometimes a similar. welcome alexandra it's good to see you here. many revolutionary leaders have given up an armed struggle over time some even consider the thing of the past but that's far too honest to pursue dialogue fit into this trend is it that you no longer believe in guerilla warfare no. i wouldn't say sorry. the reason we are now in havana is that we have always asked for dialogue and
11:43 am
a peaceful solution but the colombian government has kept us banned from politics we took up arms not because we wanted to or because we enjoy fighting we only use them as a means of justified protection from the terrorist ways of the colombian government the colombian government has been trying to put an end to this armed conflict for decades so what's new and different about this attempt at talks and how ronna is compared to the previous ones and do the prospects look any brighter. we are very optimistic and the fog delegation about the peace talks colombia has always displayed a pattern of rise in decline in regards to social movement its present movement and its labor movement but right now i believe that movement is gaining ground in an unprecedented way it is apparent that the people of colombia can't take this rule any longer they are already asking for peace and they're increasingly joining the social movement we actually want to the colombian people to stand behind us in our
11:44 am
efforts to establish dialogue and so they will i believe that a large scale popular movement is what makes all the difference as compared to the previous attempted peace day after day more people are taking to the streets to protest it seems they're no longer afraid of the government and its terror tactics because it's more than they're willing to put up with another factor is that latin america has changed they're getting support from cuba venezuela and other latin american nations and in fact it's been very helpful for us in forging an understanding with the colombian government it is a very powerful external factor as you know. but most colombians to believe that fark should take responsibility for the crimes they committed and be the penalty for them what's your view on this because the specter. bridgie. it somewhat absurd to ask for the punishment of people who have always acted out of an adjustment need to protect ourselves and as i've already said we're not hurt
11:45 am
because we want one we want peace but social justice too and we've never had any of this here in colombia if someone hits you fast and you hit them back in self-defense are you to be punished for that i said this is just an example to show you how we actually view the war in colombia and our role in it it's all about self-defense. or you have declared a ceasefire do you think the government of colombia may follow suit on the go in there. looking the government seems unwilling to respond with a cease fire in their turn so it's going to be a unilateral act for a two month period they have been asking us to take some steps for a long time they keep saying that they need some peaceful justice so we take those steps but we wonder what the response of measures from the government are. they pursue them in a couple of years ago after diaries had been seized by the army and disclosed you
11:46 am
were in the spotlight all over the world from those notes many people concluded that you were criticizing the system that we're going to zation how do you explain that if that's true then how come you're a member of the organization whose internal regulations you don't fully approval. with them into the political system. first i'd like to note that this was a very inappropriate use of my diary which was supposed to be personal property and i set out to pass it to my parents but this is a different story everything that was written that dealt with my daily routine every person in any organization have their ups and downs and can sometimes be critical who makes press our criticism out loud and sides of the organization and that's resolve the problem that period was particularly hard for me as i had to adapt to living in a guerrilla group in the forest and moreover i needed to get used to colombian culture so it was not easy for me and i recall those days quite often. people call
11:47 am
us terrorists many of them claim that to attack civilians and recruit children by fools why then there was nothing of that in my diary nobody has ever wondered i've never come across any speculation on this issue in the media no one tried to figure out why there wasn't anything written about me having just returned from a mass lot of civilians or about me recruiting kids i have never written anything like that in my diary i wrote for example that i had run out of cigarettes and our commander had some so those notes were really light headed and it occurred to me how silly they were when i was reading them still those were my thoughts which i had back then and you can trace back the entire process of my adaptation to living in the woods with a guerrilla group really groups lost several of their leaders in recent years and they seem to be weaker how do you view your organization how large is it and house is structured. when it appears i think when we speak of ups and downs they're
11:48 am
always there for our organization a downturn means that state terrorism and apparel isn't are dominating we have seen this and the plan colombia and the patriot plan which provided for in or out to or against us large scale military operations complete with our strikes therefore our movement as presently on the defensive but we should take a broader outlook into the future because drunk one started with a meow fusee eight members if we still had that many today we wouldn't be there in havana right now and why are we here from a military point of view the government is not one to negotiate with a losing opponent that partnering with us because they realize they have been unable to defeat us and military terms that's the most important reason behind the negotiation. with. the. us you
11:49 am
do the first members live by the rules of communism as was initially proclaimed or are these signs of capitalism influencing you as a community. we have our regulations which lay out the rules and requirements for all the fact fighters at all levels from commandants timony and down to every single guerilla including those who might have joined our ranks just yesterday those rules apply to all admittedly violations a car there are always people who neglect rules for example being a gorilla you're not supposed to keep a personal radio or an m p three player because it can get you detected and fired upon if a fighter violates this rule when it to instill some sense into them it may be some sort of penalty or a critical written assessment of that person to be deliberated at a group meeting such meetings without ever eight days you can voice personal criticism if you believe that a fellow gorilla has behaved in appropriately act as
11:50 am
a chauvinist or gravitates towards capitalism and wants to have things with oneself and disregards the interests of the team the fighters comrades will point to these issues and even the person in question may criticize once out of money problems get solved this way it will be. the colombian government and the united states have always insisted that far the lives of drug trafficking but the guerrillas have always he denied it if it's not drug money used to find your bev a listener is struggle than what. how to know when colombia known as act governor to which of largest every citizen to pay a special tax to finance the government's war against its own people that fool would believe anyone who makes a million dollars the moon must pay a revolutionary tax to the guerrillas so will love this tax under now as well as they grow coca plants and where people have nothing else except for the coca we tax
11:51 am
the cartels who make a lot of money on this business but we won't tax village folk who own but if you have to is of current bush's each that is why everyone wants to draw a relation between coca and the guerillas in other areas where they have different businesses who also have a our tax differently but the reality in colombia is such that every institution across the country is involved in drug trafficking so wherever we go collecting our tax now always local drug dealers and cartel members to be found and they will have to pay us a war acquires money just like a car needs an engine to run. fark announced earlier this year that it would no longer kidnap people but if you individuals are still held captive what are their prospects is their plan to have them released. we hold no captives. some time ago there was an organization that used to claim that we how
11:52 am
some three thousand people in captivity that was before last february when we announced we would stop taking captives due to economic reasons and that was when we took an account of all our prisoners and found that we have nine of them all in all i think it would be helpful if the government were to announce a cease fire emma could invite the right course of human rights missions to each of our fronts for them to see first hand how many captives were holding and they would see that their alleged schools of prisoners were how they are actually nonexistent now i'm aware that there are some fifty thousand people missing in our country after all these years of fighting and that suggests that some of those fifty thousand must be in our custody so why not find out what the truth is and let the world know to say. you've requested me to go to alexandra why is it so important for a gorilla to go under a different name. for. this because this is my
11:53 am
combat name when you come to the bush is human new name because war acquires secrecy secrecy and mystery are of great importance for guerrillas who don't know each other's legal name is and we don't keep our ways that's the way it goes in any war that's a rule the media always call me by my legal name which doesn't really bother me but just to prefer my combat name because this is what they always call me among the guerrillas and for me this is part of the rebel spirit. to what have you gained by joining the guerrillas was it something you couldn't get in europe where your life was peaceful and prosperous according to many. i believe being among gorillas is the most important thing for me is the appreciation of the international solidarity by the guerrillas that i experience in my daily routine i would often go somewhere minding my own business and then
11:54 am
someone would come up to me and say i'm really proud of you for being here i am happy that i don't have to feel alone in this battle in spite of everything that the me just said about us all the negative propaganda against us and spite of all that you came over to help us it's very important for me i would never get anything like that back in the netherlands. you know do you have any regrets do you ever think about the way many young ladies go about settling down and having a family where you. know. men never i mean i had regrets many times when i would not be able to go through another track i was saying to myself i cannot do it i won't be able to do it but every time i go back i was happy i had managed these are the kind of obstacles that you put up for yourself and then you overcome them each time more successfully than the last time
11:55 am
as her regrets about on having a family definitely no i wouldn't want a lot of that kind. what do you expect for the future do you see yourself involved in colombian politics for instance. by the way i see it my future is with thought doing what have is required for them if the organization needs me as a teacher or a politician i will do it for them. clark is by all means a key player in the armed conflict has been lasting for decades now and at stake in many lives do you accept this responsibility would you be willing to ask forgiveness for anything. i would be willing to ask for social justice rather than forgiveness and that's it nothing will. to get us some to thank you so much for this interview.
