3:04 am
and unreasonable and too hasty. what happened to well that's to remind the president do you remember you promised to review the european treaty you didn't do that here in germany set a three percent deficit isn't real but now only say it's possible etc etc you can't not do what you promised meanwhile recent polls show a little rise in the fringe of disapproval rating forty four percent in january to december forty percent the lowest since we launched an office in may. every week that is a new subject to discuss in the french media and to draw people's attention from the real problems like gay manager day produce or now molly this strategy may work but not for long. after all land won the french election last year some analysts described his victory as a victory against his predecessors on causey wrapping paper. now you see many of

really sad when someone is thrown out because he has no one he can take care of him . this meeting between the leaders of germany and spain comes ahead of a very important summit taking place this week where european leaders will try and decide on the new budget something which is separated countries within the union thus far and economics professor at boston university laurence kotlikoff says to overcome the banking crisis you need to revamp the whole system and make it more transparent and exclusive interview with r.t. selfish of nic he said that's the lesson to be learned from america's embattled financial system. the traditional banking system the model is one of very high leverage banks borrow a lot of money promised to repay and then there's opacity they take the money and
3:08 am
they do something with it but they don't tell you what they're doing with it so it's a very unstable situation when you promise people things and then you don't show what you're doing with their money and then and that's what happened in lehman brothers and bear stearns and. merrill lynch and all these companies that one on one under one after the other everybody started worrying because they couldn't see the assets so. what we need to do is. get rid of this faith based banking we need to have. no leverage and we have to have transparency. and you can catch the full interview with economist laurence kotlikoff at eight hundred forty five tram. all those scientists say lie detectors are

unreliable in identifying national security risks more than seventy thousand of americans each year tested on them washington is promising to draw up a new national point of graft policy following allegations u.s. federal agencies are exceeding their legal and ethical limits to determine who can be trusted marina work not talk to those who believe a point of wealth is a tool used to incriminate the innocent for more than three decades john sullivan worked as a polygraph examiner for america's central intelligence agency today the retired cia employee is offering some strong opinions about the nation's lie detector policy too many honest people are too many people who should be passing new tests aren't and and there's no there's no accountability for that. last year more than seventy three thousand americans were reportedly required to undergo polygraph tests in order to get or keep jobs with the federal government

according to an investigation by mcclatchy newspapers a growing number of u.s. agencies are asking employees and applicants intimate questions that extend way beyond the realm of national security probing matters such as sexual conduct financial matters and past personal relationships a woman was pressured to talk about her experience being molested as a child. and when the polar bear for said that he refused to go on with the interrogation he alleges that he was pressured to go back and continue and tara gating or a decade ago the national academies an organization advising washington on scientific matters urged the feds to stop using polygraphs as a screening technique scientists found that polygraphs aren't reliable enough to prevent innocent people from failing and deceptive candidates from passing i think it's important to understand that the polygraph is not just. for screening it's an
3:11 am
interrogation tool. there's no question that the trip that leads to. the drilling down. questions that they get asked may well be quite true over the past ten years at least fifteen federal agencies including the n.s.a. and f.b.i. have reportedly continued or expanded their polygraph screenings with nearly five million people having access to classified information or washington maintains that polygraph testing is the most effective way from preventing secrets from being leaked lisa ribicoff is an independent polygraph examiner and investigator who uses the polygraph program designed by homeland security she contends that it's ninety eight percent accurate i do think that there are some questions pertaining to some emotional aspects and personal situations should not be included but i do
3:12 am
understand why they're included on the basis of that the government needs to see how exactly what their breaking point is what are they willing to discuss what are they not willing to discuss however applicants who are denied a coveted position after failing a polygraph are prohibited from accessing the records of their interrogation and are often barred from contesting the results were filing complaints in federal court in two thousand and five. for the cia veteran who conducted lie detector interrogations for thirty one years failed his own screening there was absolutely no question in my mind the test was really a guy you know it's this was a terrible test sullivan lost his security clearance and was denied a job with a federal contracting agency he claims his examiner falsified the results possible retribution for solving his book detailing america's polygraph system subs are coming in for a polygraph test now are guilty until proven innocent and i think that's a. a corruption and an abuse of the process the obama administration is now

project a free meal gondar t.v. dot com. hello again you're watching l.t. live from moscow president bashar al assad says syria can take on any force that confronted while accusing israel of trying to destabilize the country it was his first public statement saying as an alleged is rated as trike inside syria last week israel's defense minister has given the strongest indication yet that they i.d.f. was behind that time always point to slee ever before. it does come from the israeli defense minister a good bloke and he has said that it is proof that when israel says something it means that he did stop short of actually a third being israel's involvement now u.s. officials have said that the strike targeted an arms convoy that was carrying anti aircraft weapons from syria to lebanon according to the israeli defense minister
3:16 am
ehud barak he said that we do not think and i'm quoting that syria should be allowed to bring advanced weapons systems into live unarmed it is important to make the point that his comments does not constitute acknowledgement of israel's involvement in the strike but it certainly does suggest the possibility that it took place and it was responsible for it but also said that the syrian president bashar assad's fall is imminent and that it would serve as a major blow to his and iran need to look at this israeli strategy and it's a strategy that israel has employed in the past and that is namely a strategy of silence it is strategic it doesn't give any kind of confirmation or any kind of denial of what israel has done in the past is norwegian attack then leave and it really its response has been a no comment which really leaves the question in observateur minds it is a culture lated moves because the simons allows israel's enemies to save face and thus reduce the risk of reprisals and its collation against the jewish state of the

us the international for now for any kind of israeli strife in syria would create immense arguments in the international community we've heard for example from moscow who says that if indeed israel did carry out the strike it was an attack on a sovereign state and as such it breached international law and the arab league has also condemned the strike saying it is in violation of international law and it is faulted against in another sovereign state so israel of course will not want to come out publicly and acknowledge that it carried out such a strike because it would not want to have the kind of diplomatic complications and diplomatic fallout that would follow from such an admission. and very worried race maybe a stark split on a risk the maskers has means to return date against any israeli time. by now i don't believe that there will be. military warfare although we have to remember the. law is one of syria's allies iran is also one of syria's allies and it's
