because of attempts to impose standards on others of those looking for books which ship to turn it into a confrontational forum to exacerbate this ystem crisis of that organization i think we need a unifying projects that would consolidate the european space and promote consensus on the fundamental security concerns we still have this window of opportunity last december we would always see foreign ministers in dublin launched. plus forty hopefully in twenty fifteen when we are marking the anniversary we will be able to develop a common agenda which is for that reflecting our commitment to strategically efforts. to realize the principle of indivisible security of the missile defense is an important test to match our declarations with the issue we are all

risking to miss another chance to build a europe. russia is offering a very simple solution of europe to agree on is that you get until he's old and which the missile defense is not being directed against countries and to develop a military technical criteria of them to. assess the use when the purposes of missile defense is neutralization of the of the missile threat it is also important to clarify the current missions of native not that we are trying to interfere but would like to have some clarity for your. europe would be genuine partnership between russia and nato who is still impeded by attempts to. use the point about russian threats. and this is sometimes this. prince. underlies defense planning at

a time of financial. deficits some military activity is being stepped up in europe as if we had some security threats that. efforts continue to loom of the large nato to move the military infrastructure east words as if we had no statements at the highest level about the negative effects of divisions in the continent some of our european all of the partners are now drawing new dividing lines so that trying to divide integration projects between good and bad there but on the night is discussing and smart defense but it does not say who it is going to defend itself from is much more important to launch a new smart foreign policy relations that will maximizing the opportunities for collective work instead of wasting our resources if the leading economies as part

of the g twenty good where it makes solid efforts to address the financial crisis why cannot we do the same in policy russia join w t o and we appreciate the states europe and other countries who supported that but we look at the w t o was set up to fight protectionism in trade and. economies if we try and look at this situation. now at the current blog might says i think this is protectionism a myth of the security policy if that's true this mindset is in contravention with the current imperatives of today which call for open systems and equal security for all our proposals on indivisible security have been formulated on a number of occasions. a c e at n r c but they're still on the table it's.

codifying you. look with commitments not to enhance your own security at the expense of others could improve the military political climate in your atlantic region with. the proposed could promote a unified economic and social space collective approaches to an equal jatra texture in the do your atlantic region and. also by the civil society not only policy makers in this connection i would like to draw your attention to the work done by i think that of germany poland to russia and with europe france commissioned by the on the republic day sions own security bureau security what someone said. that was supports of this project which certainly we are at

a very important time in history is that it calls for major initiatives it's time to write off our historic debts and give each other good and to crisis alone alone of trust and partnership expected me to talk about russian american relations i basically agree with what my good friend joe biden said indeed we have a very rich and positive agenda. but the major powers like. to have some differences and we do sometimes serious differences so you are aware of that what. we have very. serious about anything that is subject to the agreement based on the principles of mutual respect equal rights and mutual interests more than all issues. with the luggage that we cannot believe in. porn is

a new word upon for the benefit of our countries will be continue to employ working and that we will continue to do that in conclusion let me quote the president above it is inauguration address he said with the united states will seek to resolve differences with other states peacefully not because they are naive but because journal work the corporation is the best tool to address the fears and prevention this approach based on international law is the ones were taken by russia in its foreign policy and we count on your reciprocity thank you very much like to thank thank you thank you very much mr mr spicer because before inviting burnous ashton to speak to us let me also give you a first question from the stack that i've already received this is

a question as by a member of the start the german parliament. newly poor from the green party. his question is where is the russian red line in case of the use of chemical weapons in syria question mark. well i believe the red line is the cover line for all of us we are categorically against any use of weapons of mass destruction be the chemical be biological be nuclear and we are very seriously engaged in daily efforts in coordination with the americas your bill this with other partners to make sure that we know. what is the state of the chemical weapons in syria and we have very sustainable information we are confident that as long as the government keeps control of those weapons the situation is safe

our partners agree with us that the biggest threat. is is the probability of possibility that the rebels get hold of those chemical weapons so we are monitoring the situation in the wake of confidence that the situation does not cause any serious concern and this was recently read the rated also by the american experts where they were making comments regarding the strike or strikes against some serious efforts. thank you very much it is now the moment for the european union to speak. and you have the floor. move going thank you very much of the seventy one russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov addressing the annual security

conference that in the name of the world's biggest secure stations have been discussed as well as russia as well in particular in the european and global security and also never called for equal security for all lines vizsla important issues like syria and coming out madsen a couple of minutes i've been asking is breaking the set. you live on one hundred thirty three bucks a month for food i should try it because you know how fabulous i had lunch i got so many i mean ten pounds i know that i'm still really messed up. in the old story so actually. it's. worse for the little thing the white house or the. radio guy minestrone they want what we're about to produce never seen anything like this until the.

greens earthlings i'm abby martin and this is breaking the set so today as secretary of state hillary clinton's last day on the job i know i'm sad to well her farewell happens to fall in the same day a suicide bomber detonated explosive device outside the entrance to the u.s. embassy in the turkish capital amman carra secretary clinton's last months in office of been subjected to scrutiny but the attack on the u.s. consulate in benghazi last september eleventh and infinite that left four americans dead and unfortunate for us as americans that clinton's last day in office will be remembered by yet another terrorist attack against this country's diplomats abroad attacks like this one today speaks volumes about the hatred and resentment so many people still feel toward the government of the united states or resentments that is not founded on shallow sea over our freedoms but on the aggressive military and

oppressive economic policies that this government exports around the world are resentment that will not go away until we make a significant change in this country until that happens i'll be breaking the set. a little harder. to do the job or she's going to be like i'm drunk. all right let's talk about the economy the jobs report released today was somewhat mixed there was a gain of one hundred fifty seven thousand jobs on one end but on the other a slight increase in unemployment to seven point nine percent this uptick in unemployment became all the more prominent after yesterday's g.d.p. numbers showed signs of a contracting economy so how seriously should we take these numbers and it what do they really mean help us break it all down as bob english independent trader and guest contributing editor at economic policy journal dot com thank you so much for

coming on bob thank you so what do these numbers really mean break it down for us we have basically two headline numbers that came out today the first is the actual unemployment rate which ticked up a little bit to seven point nine percent means seven point nine percent of the people who are looking for jobs don't have jobs and then we have the second number which is the number of payrolls that were added the number of jobs that were added it was one hundred fifty thousand one hundred fifty seven thousand so that was a little bit less than what was expected but still not too bad and it also doesn't really count for moonlighting i mean people who are picking up second jobs third jobs even to make ends meet really no no not at all when you look at the actual demographic breakdowns you have older people holding on to their jobs a little bit longer and younger people can't find jobs so it's not pretty right absolutely it's not a pretty situation all i mean all these rumors of you know the slowdown in the economy even rumors about another recession coming how much of this is residual from this these fiscal cliff hysteria talks is there any merit to that we're facing

this again i think there's some merit to it but the fiscal cliff is going to be resolved i think it's overhyped i happen to come from the austrian school of economics we look at what the federal reserve is doing in terms of money printing and they've been shoveling a lot of money at the big banks and into the system and we're seeing the effects of that in terms of a higher stock market in time in terms of higher food and gas prices for you and me will def there's no doubt about the fiscal cliff been overhyped. but you know it's it's not the government's job necessarily to create jobs but yet they just close down this job council office i mean what what should we see the government do to really remedy the situation the government needs to get out of the way and stop trying to you know the thing to let markets clear which is basically say's law and economics if you get out of the way you stop trying to mess with prices and even wages or for the prices then the markets will take care of themselves so the government needs to get out of the business of meddling with everything we'll wait

but. they're saying the market is going to regulate itself i mean how much more free can the market really get if it's pretty much already in our government right now i think it's kind of a misnomer that we have a free market especially when it comes to finance the number of regulations have been increasing exponentially we have dodd frank now everywhere you look there's a new there's a there's a new pool of regulators that are just jumping or chomping at the bit to get their teeth into the system but what about i mean the banks essentially own our i mean we saw bankers put obama and you're saying there's too much regulation on the very banks that pretty much own well the big organizations the big guys get a pass and that's part of the system right so they get loopholes and loopholes are created for them they write a lot of the regulations and they're able to game the system now i'm not saying that they should be regulated but i'm saying the way the system is set up is to benefit them and hurt the smaller players. disagree with you there why would they close down that office do you think that was kind of not doing anything i mean i know that they only met like four times in the last two years it was kind of

a show anyway but i mean should they just maintain this illusion that they're at least trying to. maintain the illusion that well i mean we're only one month into the new term. could've been done to the others and yet we shot of the original in time but it's funny because jeffrey immelt the head of general electric was put in the position there's nobody probably who's who's benefited greater from government large us than him he has all these huge defense contracts which have built his business. general electric over the years and he's typically a republican but then when obama came around the winds were shifting and he jumped on the obama bandwagon then about a year ago he shifted to romney he thought that romney was going to get so i think it's time you know it's kind of had kind of come all of a nora goes around and around doesn't really matter what party as long as it's benefiting you but what is going to happen what needs to happen here for economic policy to really make a good change forward here. well like i said the government needs to get out of the

business of trying to interfere with everything so in a certain sense gridlock is good the fiscal cliff you know it's not all bad from that standpoint but what about the inequality that's just continuing i mean you're saying that this is the inequality that we're seeing rising more and more year after year is due to government regulation too much government regulation and in the market yes definitely because the more interference you have the more markets are distorted and you have money going to all these sectors in the government and the friends of the government into all these wasteful projects when really you're just transferring wealth from people who excuse me the productive people in the people who are not productive and wealth inequality expands when you have more intervention not the reverse all hopefully we can apply the same laws that were subjected to these giant corporations and bankers so we don't live in a two tiered justice system maybe we will see the inequality lower i don't know if we can agree on how the solution is made but thank you for your opinion bob english

financial contributor appreciate you coming on. i want to talk about something that's very dear to my heart using art as a medium of self-expression art its many splendid forms as verse a tile in a way that's as limitless as our imagination can also be a very powerful tool to relay profound social commentary through symbolism and imagery jazz singer and civil rights activist nina simone once said an artist's duty is to reflect the times and in the most beautiful way and in his music reflected a struggle for racial and gender equality yet in today's society art is going through a transformational crisis contemporary artists are becoming victims of a consumer culture of mass commercialization and corporatization the most perfect example of this i think i can think is shepard fairey the man who coined the viral

obey brand and a person who i used to look up to quite a bit has created some amazing art depicting propaganda posters that criticize war and empire and in fact i took the whole obey message as being a mockery of how ludicrous it is to worship a figure or state which is why it was especially fascinating for me to see him pioneer the most viral image marketing campaign for obama's election i'm sure you've all seen this image over the last four years has obama our help to galvanize this country's youth to support the very establishment that he once mocked one that perpetuates empire work injustice and inequality all after coming to terms with us apart proceed from one of the most well known commercial artists i realize that there is a serious lack of political artist in today's society to follow true to nina simone's message now let me be clear there are a multitude of artists out there who are doing groundbreaking work in the form of music photography and all different mediums of artistic expression their visibility

however is overshadowed by a consumerist culture a culture that no longer values the merits of the blood sweat and tears it takes to create something by. hand instead it's replaced by ten dollar walmart prints in a high brow. art gallery culture that overlooks true radicalism and replaces it with a bland commercialism personally i could speak to this frustration as an artist i started painting merely as a catharsis initially i used abstract art as an outlet to escape the intense political activism that dominated my normal life however while living in oakland i saw an enormous lack of political commentary and what was supposed to be one of the biggest counterculture art hubs in the nation and it made me realize that i needed to shift my focus on creating art that critiqued the very things that i rally against with my words every day. here's my depiction of obama's logo called killing hope never before obama's presidential campaign had it ever seen

a candidate brand themselves with a corporate logo the official logo appears to be a giant blue o's sun rising over an american flag horizon symbolizing the supposed dawn of a new beginning. four years into his presidency obama has not only continued to most of the corrupt unjust and inhumane policies of the criminal bush term but in many cases his administration has exacerbated them at this point it's more than fair to say that the obama regime has blood all over its hands my interpretation of his logo is one where the american stripes are spilling into a deep pool of blood representing the carnage and death that has resulted from the perpetuation of these horrendous policies the blood also represents the slow death of the false sense of hope that his campaign galvanized broken promise broken promise more people are breaking out of the baseless propaganda and empty rhetoric and starting to acknowledge that true change and hope can only be sustained through

love strength and peace not a corporate marketing campaign financed by corrupt banks and bloodthirsty military contractors this next one is entitled riot cops it's a photo that i took of a line of riot police during an oscar grant rally in oakland the cops looked so absurdly robotic and aggressive holding their batons that i wanted to take the image and make it beautiful so i decided to draw over and make a whimsical depiction of something that was so inherently disturbing and intimidating. this next piece of my depiction of the b.p. oil spill called holocaust of sea creatures as you can see bush and obama are both the pickton because both are equally complicit in securing the continuation of the two. live one where corporations like b.p. can poison the entire gulf and instead of getting punished they're rewarded for their criminality meanwhile the critters of the ocean are left to suffer with no

one left to speak for them my last piece that i want to share with you today is called nuclear fear it's my portrayal of the fukushima nuclear disaster and it was intended to show the horror and tragedy that comes with the world's dependence on nuclear energy. needless to say if you're passionate about something it is in part your responsibility to express that passion and reflect it through a medium that speaks to you art is a universal language that speaks directly to humanity's subconscious one that can serve motions that no words can so i implore you to heed nina simone's advice in a world so corrupt with so much injustice is it not our duty to reflect the ugly truths instead of feeding into the very institutions that work to suppress them. if you like we see so far go to our you tube channel your turn dot com breaking the sets of rob tell us check us out on hulu as well hulu dot com slash breaking the

a really amazing art exhibit right here in washington d.c. it's called crude and it's a sharp critique and dramatic observation of the political conflict between social liberty and the business of oil earlier i talked a conceptual artist behind crude. what is are in what he believes is the evolution from a natural resource to a national identity take a look. just. because i use oil. and what. it's about to fall in this to take a boil in this three and a pull to two is a good space and let's let's take a look at some of it unfortunately we have f.c.c. regulations so we can't show some of the words but i think that we can get the gist i wanted to show that yes we can if you so we had to block it out but i mean this really does speak for itself i mean what's amazing is that that's a ballpoint pen. stuck to little by

a ballpoint pen when i was in military service was a good fit. for. duty involved months to write a letter for my parents that's why. and they. use both and they take. my. my way expressed myself and why this language i mean yes we can pretty much what is what is this making. you made the posters here so we can. just be and usually you still have a distance between each and these. installations would seem to give as if behavior one sentence that. can be closed for each as it's a made two and sentence yeah yeah you're taking a really popular image and just saying this is kind of the darker reality of. brand

that's what made this sentence. i love i loved it i mean it's incredible let's look at the democracy piece i mean this piece really says it all. you know you that's why i love you don't have any captions explaining it's just like this is this is it i mean you have the pumps with the oil pumping through why did you choose this word to display you know because. he. told people and they. called my keels as it's. possible to be democracy. when you wait to see a kid not to speak of it. you know the guy these concepts are really there's so much more behind them i mean when we're go around and spread democracy in the world what are we really do we know what's our intent really so this is just so powerful

to see this and. so amazing to see up close and the bubbling in kind of his scene of the of the crude oil and the letter. that was conceptual artist if you want to check out the rest of his exhibit called crude it's being shown through mark at the washington d.c. american university art. i speak about the importance of art as a form of political and social expression with a name to reflect the times my next guest in bodies this notion is a street artist who uses mixed mediums to create some of the most amazing political art and murals i've ever seen as our ranges from political satire to a critique of the socio economic system that controls our lives and it's so compelling that it sparked much controversy as well as admiration from those who see it so joining me now from our new york studio is muralist an artist i'm sorry l.-i studio here one thank you so much for coming on thank you so mira have you

always done political our was something specifically that drove you to start using art to relay a political message. yeah i've kind of always had a political edge to my work but in the i guess the reagan administration. i became more aware of political conversation and adding that into my are saw the works of robbie connell on the streets of l.a. other political artists is really inspiring to me also while it's really hard to do miracles i've only done one of my life but it was really difficult and that's why i admire your work so much because i know how hard it is and you do a lot of incredible inspirational miracles i wanted to take a look at some of them for our audience i want to show the freedom for humanity and mural that you did in london. picks the all seeing eye bankers sitting across a monopoly board on the backs of pretty much humanity you have nuclear destruction in the background chains machine gears and a guy saying new world order is the enemy talk about the peace. it's kind of

a an allegory of how i see the world currently right now and how it's been for a long time i feel like we're all. living under a level of economic slavery in this world all producing products and material goods for some cause that never really seems to benefit the majority of us people in here and we're just continually dying off all the wealthy live these lives of luxury in the mural was innocence you know framing that concept in. i want to make people aware of this and make it kind of popular to talk about some of these subjects or you'll bring them up to people and people think your know your conspiracy theory is there are a series of different you know terms so call you at the end of the day these things are really happening and it's important to open our eyes to it wake up in add to

our conversation well that's what's so great about your art because it really speaks to people that sometimes words can get across but when you see an image it can affect you so profoundly and you know it was so controversial in fact that this miro actually made worldwide headlines there was an article in the daily mail that said thank you protest miral resembles not c. and d. medic propaganda and it was supposed to be removed from the east and i mean what the hell was this about will it. i feel the the message of my mural kind of. taken away by. hysterical story that these were not c. propaganda characters when they weren't they were they were they just like they're like that old white man to me basically they are and it's a characterization of different bankers i looked up from the robber baron era of everyone from warbird to rothschild so rockefeller these guys are twisted gnarly

looking old man and that's what i want to interpret what is the creed and you know it's whiston this within them well i guess when you. the first baby steps are joy. foals. are not a big deal. but they can cause terrible trauma. for children can be broken by dare touch. and only the will of life can make. i'm source way. fragile people on our team.
