more involvement sid investigating how an adopted russian child died while the u.s. still awaits the autopsy results nearly a month after the boy's tragic death. and another nationwide stoppage with labor unions embarking on yet another strike in protest of a crippling a stereotype measures. the majority of british people do not trust the country's journalists and politicians for worse partly in a nationwide poll we asked. good morning just after midnight here in moscow kevin are you watching r t our top story

russian investigators want an active role in the u.s. probe into the death of a young boy adopted by an american family it's almost a month since three year old died russian officials believe he was fatally abused by his adoptive american mother but u.s. authorities say they're still waiting for autopsy results. that is in the family's hometown in texas where this tragedy unfold. russian officials are outraged at yet another case of a death of a russian child living an adoptive family in the united states we're standing outside the home of allen and laura shadow parents two three year old max shadow known in russia as mean the three year old boy after suffering severe bruises to his legs head and internal organs had died in january this year just a few weeks after his third birthday right now his parents are not making any statements if you call their voicemail it says if you're a reporter or news agency we have no comment now according to russian officials the

investigation that they're conducting they're saying allegedly was the mother of the child that was behind this death they're saying not only was the child severely bruised but had also been fed for a long time anti-psychotic drugs meant to treat sky it's a free mia in adults a drug that is sold by prescription in the united states we do know that the younger brother of much continues living with the family here at the county sheriff's office an investigation is currently ongoing in cooperation with russian officials and local child protection services on the afternoon of january twenty first the local police department had received a call from a local hospital emergency room while a police officer was on his way there a three year old boy had already died unfortunately these kind of this particular kind of calls for. every day. somebody has had a heart attack we don't put pressure. we have a child that's been injured in an a.t.v. we don't put a pressure unless we start suspecting that something may be out of the ordinary. it

wasn't a little bit later that we started getting some suspicions of what was going on and then all developed from talking to the parents the people that lived there he just took a little more time for us to develop. currently an autopsy is underway. and the police is not really releasing any further details in terms of what they can tell us about this case what we do know as according to them the autopsy results may come any time from a month from now they tell us that there are no suspects in this case as of yet and no arrests have been made and. after county texas. meantime the children's. russia has the right to the return of the other child who is adopted by the american family if it is proved that they caused the death of his brother really postponed to me from the foundation against child trafficking she told me

the u.s. adoption system supervision. so the session is national competitions i mean the u.s. state level the comfort level so it's not the u.s. state department interfere this is adults and children actually said like any other children in the u.s. like you know the love of their parents and so state level ok martin the fear is that you're going to rush out who are in jail the most are in child protection supervised care summarized by rights out there from officials from the state in one child adults and often you're basically if that's out well private family it's like any other child so there's nobody supervising and there's nobody can offer you anything you post that often reports will be a light sensor rush out there just rock the boat i don't hear the sirens or by the sound of a loss an agency. says i love these people. say anything to be critical about

your thoughts on her so work on that you know don't work with the current and work towards reintegration into the family. with traffic halted school shots and hospitals desperately understaffed labor unions in greece are embarking on yet another twenty four hour strike over the country's crippling austerity around forty thousand people have marched in athens in anger spending cuts and tax hikes police say there were some clashes but no arrests or injuries maybe unions are demanding the government gets rid of the bailout agreement which requires further severe austerity measures meanwhile the e.u. struck a deal empowering the european commission to verify the budgets of the blocs members documentary filmmaker. to follow says greece is turning into a dock with debts ocracy. when you have. good leg one that greece and other countries of the european very very are facing you start losing

levels of democracy trade the sun don't. forget that one year ago we had nothing like the prankster and after the election we have a government that promised to renegotiate. the. best in riot police in unconstitutional. and we are spirit the country i'm afraid that we have. become a third world country not only as far as the economies closer and also as far as democracy is which europe was one of the major players that destroyed the greek economy by forcing business to be measures only countries. that we not follow the orders of the i.m.f. for big financial institutions to survive. this crisis and i don't mean countries like argentina or iceland who didn't follow any of the proposals of

the big financial institutions or the you or the governments. the u.k. is normally renowned for its quality press and higher tauriel standards but a survey shows journalists are among the most untrustworthy people in britain oh dear well let's have a look and what the source mori poll found as you can see the figure speaking from cells if members of parliament did better than journalism at least a quarter of the british public trusting them to tell the truth as they financial crisis drags on bankers' believability has plummeted to put them in the bottom three two thirds said they don't trust their politicians in general did come out worst here trusted by only eighteen percent of those surveyed but sadly for journalists over seventy percent of people in britain no longer trust them well tony goes there is an investigative journalist himself he told me it's not the reporters fault but maybe a bosses who are to blame. it's not the fault of journalists because the people actually control the media really are not the journalists themselves journalists

are hired and fired by the managers and boy bosses vaal papers the senior staff well it is actually and it's the owners as well i mean it's been one of the byproducts of the financial crisis has been very handy for some because the it's been become much much easier to hire and fire journalists and so what's happening is the media is concentrating in the future of fewer hands and these owners are basically using their outlets to push the pedal their own political line and it's very difficult to tell the truth the idea being basically if you're a journalist like me you know don't rock the boat you might end up on the dole you know you've got wife and kids to feed ok right so generally just studying for this people feel that media is all too frequently lying to them study as you see it in britain is that a fair assessment or is it overblown. well i think it's overblown to say they're lying it's just that we're not told the entire truth i mean for example in denmark about ten years ago one of the news presenters was actually sacked for being on the

news and saying at the end of the news that is what we decided to tell you tonight as a bit of a joke but you know there is a lot that isn't being said in our media i mean the b.b.c. is losing its credibility slowly ever since really the one nine hundred ninety s. because of the way it's been being managed not through the fall of the journalist but i mean for example at the moment we've got the chairman of the b.b.c. is chris patten he's a former senior conservative cabinet minister you know he's coming from a very specific point of view i mean i don't really think he should have people without political persuasion or any x. you know senior politicians running the b.b.c. and of course the result is being things like the savile scandal of coming out but nobody is actually being sacked for that. investigative journalist tony goes like. the break with me kevin i mean the print they could really give you and literally scientists from the verge now developing a machine to reproduce a living tissue but there are concerns over cloning because of it we've got the full story just ahead of you can stay with.

said that it's ready to talk but without any preconditions or clearly there are still major sticking points including the fate of president assad but russia's foreign minister says that there is room for potential progress now moscow has been saying that it's not taking sides in this conflict but is calling on the international community to require you apply equal pressure on them in order to begin a political process in syria. until recently there were those who discouraged the opposition from participating in dialogue with the regime just as far as i understand now the situation is changing and so it's important that this readiness of the syrian opposition's leadership will be met with the government's response that they are willing to do the same in the meantime of the situation in syria continues to deteriorate and on tuesday russian emergencies ministry's plane evacuated around one hundred russian and c.i.s. citizens and there's also speculation that several russian navy ships have been sent to the mediterranean to assist possible further evacuations. how do you ensure

your allies in the future good question well one way apparently is to educate them in your own country while they're young and indeed there are a fair few potential foreign leaders currently in america's education system getting inside from luminaries including former secretary of state hillary clinton who's in deed signed on with a public speaking agency recently was going to shoot you can't blame finding out it is a strategy that does appear to be bearing fruit. the u.s. is investing in potential for invaders by educating them in america convinced that back in their home countries when the time comes most of them will side with u.s. interests impair our future generations of political leaders who've had a positive american experience and they are more likely to be global partners leave us mahmoud jibril could be one example having studied in the us he went on to become the head of leave us transition government he's now the leader of one of the

country's biggest political parties there's little doubt which country he would favor when it comes to dividing lucrative oil deals in the future u.s. foreign service officers had their eye on him even before the revolution broke out a leaked diplomatic cable from november two thousand and nine written by the u.s. ambassador to libya gene credits described mr general as quote a serious interlocutor who quote unquote gets the u.s. perspective and of course mr gibril is not the only one who gets the u.s. perspective i'm not going to measure how many kids were really just on a program but i'm going to do is look at where they are five years later and you know what ninety two percent of the people who go on u.s. government exchanges go on to work in civil society positions in the parliament or in an n g o sariah took a two year course in public diplomacy in two thousand and six at the university of south in california in this particular program this was every single lecture has

a state park remember this. so you know that you're not really learning public relations. how to implement. the u.s. trade and development agency an offshoot of the state department's usa id claims that what they call aid is actually investment the agency is deputy director says every one dollar they invest they get eight dollars back in u.s. exports america's officials maintain that it's hard to overestimate the benefits of being this thing in public diplomacy the investment i do not call it spending it's an investment it's absolutely an investment and there's a return on investment. it is very hard to quantify that return completely but i can tell you that you could quantify it in troops but you don't have to stand somewhere so i never pursued a career with the training she were seek to. part it was interfering in other

countries i mean i may not be fond of the government in iran but i think it's not pretty and i was sitting in this class. lectures and people saying how do we think the market i'd be undermined the government so for me it was a real challenge to see the programs through. which it was their lives definitely of the soviet union we thank in two thousand and seven when i was in their program they had already started the first with africa diplomacy is good business as has been made clear by the state department time and time again getting poor in leaders and their advice is to think in english and to subsequently favor the united states in their policies is much cheaper than bombing their country so the state department will certainly be more forceful in their efforts at exercising some power in washington i'm going to shake them. if you have a smartphone you know those just for everything these days but tell you online

tonight now there's one seed of post post-mortem tweets on. twitter to keep online spirit alive long enough you have mortally logged off it's true but online from us also in france will seriously worrying rise in attacks on jews of more than fifty eight percent in the wake of last year's shootings into losers targeted soldiers and civilians reporting online in depth at r.t. dot com. high fuel prices have been a burden for many consumers but now even those working in the industry say it is holding the world back from recovery making it worse of the sanctions on a random the ongoing uncertainty in the middle east more than two thousand key players than from the oil and gas industry to try to thrash out the problems front to find solutions to in london sarah ferguson been hearing from the experts. thousands of oil and gas professionals from around the world have gathered here in

london for the annual international petroleum week listened to talks from senior industry figures last year and the buzz around sanctions on iran dominated the talks these sanctions were supposed to bring iran to the negotiating table over there need clear program that the sun and the sanctions could have come at a worse time a loss of production in south sudan in yemen in the north sea and now in syria has been driving prices higher and a reigning queen still in demand in asia with the u.k.'s problem with millions of homes struggling with fuel poverty being echoed all across the european union right now is it the european consumer has been hardest hit by these sanctions we've been speaking some industry insiders to find out what they think so obviously you've got the private companies then sort of carrying out political decisions are having very tough economic as they say today looks like the oil and gas companies sort of in

bed with the government i don't i don't see that we are taught i think the politicians around the world have to make the decisions companies have to get on with business technology business commercial business and now we see with with iran oil being used as a political weapon and i wouldn't use that sort of phrase i mean i think it's always the case as years go by governments around the world seppala seize on trade and other things and move the comfort of the company's job is to apply the best technology in the best commerce to comply with whatever the environment is at the time to get the best deal for can seem is ultimately ultimately that's the job yes it can seem is it saying right now they're getting oil prices through the roof of the best think yes you're right on the best thing we can do is invest so i unfortunately the age of easy or oil and cheap oil i think is past but we're finding more oil the technology is getting better and better what we've got to do is to ensure it doesn't beat on the best thing that we can do is to get the technology. deployed get the best work practices get the finance in and get additional oil production because that's the best thing the companies can do to

dampen. the potential rising prices thank you very much for joining us thank you there for a while sanctions on iran have reduced its oil exports and investors will keenly watch the next week's nuclear talks are signs of a shift deep seated tensions remain in the west which suspects to run a developing atomic weapons back in two thousand and seven the white house came very close to military action against iran recently stopped by a national intelligence report saying iran had hold to its covert program we spoke to the report's author the judgment that we made was that. it was a political decision to halt the weaponization portions of its program or continued to fizzle material fissile material was the pacing element is that the. at the time required to go from physical material to or. if we did it was shorter than a dime to get fissile material on but they'd halted it. for

terminology we used was because the international scrutiny and pressure but that center was a political decision it was a matter of a technical problem. or a change in geo political situation they still lived in a tough neighborhood. that they could turn the program back on again at any time and we also. released part we weren't sure we would know if they turned it back on . and it was full interview with the former chief of the u.s. national intelligence council in twenty minutes here on r.t. tonight as well. next press freedom has become one of the key roadblocks to turkey's e.u. membership a journalist rights watchdog reports says the country's become the world's number one media prison many reporters are detained under anti-terrorism laws and being

held without charge for prolonged periods of time artie's reports. it's because of people like me near that turkey who is the number one spot in the world for the number of journalists in jail nadeem was arrested and held for two hundred days his charge opting in classified documents and insulting government officials he suspects it was because he published a book investigating the death of another journalist which unnerved government officials. the main reason the government arrests journalists is to stifle voices of disagreement the best way to do that is to silence the journalists who speak out against the government then their audience will also fall silent that's the main reason behind the imprisonment of journalists it's not just journalists you get put in jail doctors students labor union leaders the risk of people being thrown in jail in turkey. his words are backed by research from the committee for protection

of journalists which claim turkey's their cake laws for journalists for writing anything their thirty's might consider on turkish on par with terrorists the problem with press freedom in turkey stands mainly from the legal framework it has to be reformed and it has to be fundamentally reformed in order for turkey to stop conflating terrorism with journalism turkish officials promised last november and proposal to parliament that laws be changed to improve the treatment of journalists at the time the country's news agency is quoted the turkish deputy prime minister who responded to this report for us the number is not important we are greatly saddened even by one journalist being jailed for their rights and drawings journalism activities. reporters have been incarcerated or they're legit connection to organic on a deeply secret anti government organisation most of whose members have never been

identified and which exist many believe only in official papers turkish journalists . affiliation with their unicon is just one of many clever ways the government gets away with lucky them up. the government says. press cart to qualify as journalists. and that's of course a primitive reply. which befits well there'd be a prime minister who said the people did prison because. treason why because why not have had prescott's journalism is about a popular career choice for young people in turkey the country boasts numerous news papers and a plethora of to the channels but in the current circumstances every reports could end up being a one way ticket to jail. because i teach journalism in a university families of my students tell them go learn journalism but don't become

journalists still a lot of young people feel it's a good way to express their view on the government the disagreement it's a popular career but a dangerous one this c.p.g. says turkish officials use all their legislative powers not just incarcerate journalists but also scare them from reporting anything the government doesn't like a tactic that won't deter people like nadine because this is there's no fear my trial continues i may be out of jail but i'm still facing a fifteen year term and in turkey anything can happen the police can accuse me of anything but being a member of a terror group for example someone can send them an anonymous letter mail use it as evidence and back behind bars. in turkey it even goes i t. some other world news headlines now starting with the ongoing violence in syria where a footballer has been killed today and several others injured after a mortar bomb hit a stadium in damascus two shells landed in the sports facility there in the center

of the city but a home's based team is training at the time just a day earlier to. morse's exploded near the presidential palace in the syrian capital causing damage but no casualties. france's far right leader has been to britain because the less that warm welcome really pen was invited to cambridge university to debate about the e.u. and french politics police clashed with around two hundred ninety fascist demonstrators outside the venue the pair news often criticised in france for abuse came third in last year's presidential election and has been a euro m.p. for nearly a decade. or gary's entire government has resigned after a series of nationwide protest rejected the public anger was initially restoring electricity prices noster it in ages but later took it out to government twist the prime minister of the e.u.'s poorest country said that he could not stay in power amid such violence saying quote every drop of blood is a shame for us. now it's no new thing is it that there are computer printers that

can bring us vivid color even photo quality but what about one which prints human organs is definitely on the cards in development now and scientists working on it think it will provide a watershed moment for medicine or the other a fee is to then over human cloning that could make this so-called people printing to sell their poor the details. major universities corporate laboratories and biomedical engineers are printing experimental heart valves need cartilage is bone implants kidney cells and even healing tissue now three d. bio printing essentially squirts ink of the living cells to build up to shoot structure eventually biomedical engineer is hoped to print out taylor tissue suitable for surgery and entire organs that can be used in transplants experts say that ideally they would like to create organs for those that are on lists waiting for organs and possibly you know in life circumstances in dire life

circumstances so pioneers of this bio printing believe it will be a huge benefit to to the public and to the medical community to i could essentially use photographs of you and then create a three d. image of you which is quite scary because with these three d. printing we don't know how far will go how far will develop and to know that a stranger can find a piece of your hair or your cigarette but if you smoke or a glass that you drank out of or even a few pictures of you and create a three d. facial structure of you is is a bit terrifying i mean forget about surveillance and privacy issues knowing that a stranger could do something like that view it doesn't mean it doesn't keep a sense of calm within the public and this is just the start of it who knows how it will develop five years from now maybe a person can be cloned or

a parent person can be replicated between their photographs between the hair and their d.n.a. and between them and also add to that the virtual identity that most people have created for themselves online through social media through uses of skype through e-mail essentially there's a footprint of someone everywhere be through your hair or your activity online and that could essentially be duplicated with all this new software and technology that's pioneering right now. and report model is kind of creepy isn't it but i hope it helps save lives in the in the long run if you see it created has been assured of truants of information from the us from the fed what or so yeah you know this is they hold on to every single one of these minutes from the federal reserve meeting and i can tell you that it's actually revealed a debate between the benefits of the stimulus and as a result the markets are declining so have a full rundown after the break in the business for us and given.

if you have a business than you need customers right this is perhaps the simplest law of capitalism but if your business is making juvenile prisons how are you going to attract more customers by bribing judges into condemning innocent children so you'll have all of the captives i mean customers that you need to charge mark c. of a junior from pennsylvania has been sentenced to twenty eight years in prison for illegally accepting money from a juvenile prison developer the pennsylvania supreme court determined that he may have unlawfully convicted up to five thousand youths some of former as young as ten years old for crimes they didn't commit this is obviously sickening a total exploitation of power but the thing we need to think about is the fact that the us has by far the world's largest prison population and a booming prison industry it leads me to believe that maybe this one scumbag judge

from pennsylvania isn't the only one out there abusing his power if you see a prison full of kids near you you better make sure that they're actually baby guilty of something but that's just my opinion. mission. critical three. three three three. three. three. three broke. the story your media projects c.e.o. don carty dot com.

hello there welcome to business i'm casey program thank you indeed for joining me. more than a hall full of a rushes nearly fifty billion dollar illegal capital outflow in twenty twelve could be down to one single organized group that's exactly what the chairman of russia's central bank is suggesting anyway quite an accusation considering the staggering amount of house to two point five percent of the country's g.d.p. in total all of which left the russian borders illegally so these transactions can be anything from drug smuggling to tax evasion and if we look at how much cash that she escaped over the last three years it's no wonder the russian government wanted or at least stop money from escaping so as you can see capital outflow has been

a problem for a fair few years now now twenty twelve witnessed fourteen no i billion dollars jumping the border twenty eleven was the was with eighty one billion twenty ten nearly forty billion went on a foreign holiday and today to put a cave as she spoke to bed areas from business new europe all the central bank suggestion. see if there is not very media. isn't a very high media profile and so these comments of doubly so in coming from him because he's usually quite quiet and started in conservative central bankers there and here he is making headlines around the world with these you know he's saying in effect that sixty percent of the money that's going out of the country comes from crooks and this is an official statement of something. which is not what we're used

to hearing from the how to take the timing of the message if the because ignites he was going to leave his position he's certainly going to leave with a bang i mean he's to to be replaced he has to step down the end of his term in june but at the same time i mean if you step back for the moment this comes in the context of what i see is a rapidly expanding and increasing more serious and see corruption drive to the deputies and longer allowed to have foreign bank accounts in all foreign assets and the deputy that quit today because it was discovered thirty million dollars worth of property in flop in florida he didn't he didn't declare that this isn't a veto exactly what you have at the central bank is talking about talking about officials who are hiding money overseas and you know these deals these property deals a done under the table because they don't want to credit here in russia because it's embarrassing and here's one pretty good quote and it's got say what kind of

think you know about this message found through the markets to the investment community to the world and russia's been criticized for its corruption is a serious problem and has been for a long time but as i say i think the. political will to do something about it has been growing steadily stronger ever since the defense minister was sacked last november and since then we've seen a raft and then on a weekly basis some new action taking place do you see the. worth finally turning into real action they have to because the russian budget is sort of just about breaking even and the days of massive surpluses and lots of extra cash spending. going forward the government's now focused very much on you know controlling the system a bit better and stopping the leakage and i think serious comments are very much in that context for us or ignored the corruption problem for most of the last decade

because there's just this complete feet of cash everywhere and suddenly when the cash disappears they've been goaded into doing something about it but you could argue i think are convincing me that it's a bit late or rather they're coming to very late they should have started. in two thousand and five in the middle of the and now they're doing it when the economy is already slipping into stagnation which is not a good idea and it makes it hard to do because you're asking people to make very painful changes at a time when it's already quite difficult to operate in that well we have to wait and see i mean it means everything is down to the reform program now and they're really going to make it work and it's provided the political will should before on the basis of conviction now that political will is being driven on the basis of a necessity. all right a check of the markets u.s. stocks are continuing to fall from those five year highs and that's because of what we can expect to u.s. housing construction data i was just saying to kevin just now about those f o m c

meeting minutes that came out and they do show that there's a bit of a debate going on between the risks and benefits of further stimulus actions that's part of the reason why u.s. stocks all declined in the nasdaq as you can see just the a one and two tenths down negative territory right now if you got europe and see what happened there see what happened that we had unemployment in the u.k. actually fell once again and the number in work reached a record high so that means the footsie is in positive territory by about a quarter of a percent mail and european stock markets so they will. and that's because of what we can expect to eurozone consumer confidence data that's despite an encouraging figure coming from france though their business confidence actually rising want to mention the fact that it's a big week for italy we've got the elections coming up for the weekend investors holding out for that the russian ruble then we'll see what happens to that it did indeed lose out to the u.s.

dollar but gains to the common car as you just said the x.'s here in moscow that they saw declines with the r.t.s. the my sales ended up the day in negative territory actually by. six tenth's down for the r.t.s. and seven for the my six just though we did have some game is a big after vast and telecom did better than the market. and moving on britain could face crippling fuel bills after warnings to consumers from energy watchdog of the chief executive of china is also raising fears of a nine hundred seventy s. sell by now because of a slowdown in coal and oil production early today i spoke to professor of global energy from work business school on what this means for britain's poorest citizens . in mentioning the this what the government tends to call fuel poverty or the very first that people from low income brackets are excessively. challenged by

these conditions where energy prices tend to hit them much more the than perhaps others more and more affluent consumers and so it is is in the it is in the interests interest of the government as well as the industry energy industry to look at ways and means of helping those. consumers that are most heavily affected by those prices and are and. there are a number of initiatives already under going but it would help if if consumers increase the pressure if the organizations that look after people and their interest particularly those for in poor income brackets they get the support they need from from or from a wide range of sources and a few minutes last promised exclusive interview with america's former chief of national intelligence council on how his report helped stave off a military showdown with iran

a few years ago. you know how sometimes you see a story and it seems so for lengthly you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm tom harpur welcome to the big picture. choose your language. of holy week you know in federal court today still some of. the music can sense you can. choose the opinions that immigrate to. choose to stories get in high school life choose me access to your office.

well to the front to the finish as a world class athletes descend on sochi brand new a little big big news are kept safe by high tech sensors behind the scenes congestion battling infrastructure digs deep and hard to get thousands where they need to be it's building bluebook fueled by clean energy while research is pretty new life into gold medal dreams the race is on going to see our day hero. leave the country. we are facing a lot of problems. because no one. school. what's not enough wealth is

a law in the needs you want to. be. done for. i was fired i must fight so. i'll fight. for rights. please please please. please

. with me today is thomas finger a former chairman of the national intelligence council and a man who many say played a big part in preventing us from taking military action against iran by boldly claiming it had halted its nuclear weapons program well if we could just start by talking about what happened back in two thousand and seven he waiver saw a national intelligence estimate on iran's nuclear program at the time you'll government was posturing for war he was claiming that iran was trying to develop a nuclear weapon but your report effectively blew that out of the water was it difficult to get the truth and the reality with in the government

was almost universally this is really good work. the focus was on the quality of the intelligence collection efforts that have been successful and the quality of the clarity of the analytic process and judgments there were people outside of the government that did not like the conclusion of the implicit conclusion diplomacy had worked if diplomacy had worked it might work again. and that. the tactic they adopted was not to attack the substance. which they couldn't do because they hadn't seen it classified except for the little summary and. because it became clear very quickly that the trade craft in a sling was good you couldn't say it was

a sloppy is the iraq. so it became an ad homonym these evil incompetent individuals who oppose the president dash this off with all to repurpose so given what you've said is this guy full feature whistle blow if i could call you that for someone to come forward with an opinion that's different there was no political blowback. that me not from within the government from outside of the government but. that the. no members of congress read newspapers are affected by what their constituents read in the newspapers. one needs only to watch the. criticism of susan rice at the

possibility of she would be announced of chuck hagel. that. is this ludicrously unfair of course it is of course is. but that's also part of the reality of living in a political environment so six years on do you think iran is still after a nuclear weapon in your opinion whether the judgment that we made was that. it was a political decision to halt the weaponization portions of its program it continued to fizzle material fizzle material was the pacing element is that the. the time required to go from physical material to what. we did it was shorter than a dime fissile material. but they halted it. for. terminology we used was because of international scrutiny and pressure

but that sense it was a political decision it was a matter of a technical problem. or a change in geo political situation they still lived in a tough neighborhood. that they could turn this program back on again at any time and we also said in that release part we weren't sure we would know if they turned it back on a more about intelligence is the intelligence good enough today to ascertain whether iran actually does one see the g.c. nuclear weapon and whether it has started well i've you know i'm outside of the. government and the access to that but. the director of national intelligence must give an annual report to the congress it's called the world wide threat assessment report of the budget process every year and. there are both classified unclassified version of that report and the unclassified version of that

report. continue to reaffirm the judgments in the two thousand and seven estimate. that leads me to judge after all the years of experience since the tend not to say something different in public than it would say in a classified version that the. either there is no intelligence to reverse that judgement or not adequate dodges to reverse mn judge or the intelligence is there reaffirming. i don't know which it is but i know it comes out in the same place is the scope for this intelligence to be manipulated in any way for example using the case of iraq it was claimed that it was trying to produce weapons of mass destruction that preys not to be tricked. is there a fear that each intelligence could be east a manipulative for a case against iran. no i really don't because the iraq there are

a lot of things wrong with it iraq has to me and my name is one of the ones on i was part representing the bureau of intelligence and research we were the dissenters on the nuclear portion of it so there was not evidence of reconstituted nuclear program which was the only one that really mattered but there were there were many many flaws and problems in that estimate in the process has changed in the years sensed to to fix that kind of problem there was not pressure there that led to any skewing there was interpretation of what the intelligence said. by politicians that went beyond what the intelligence community judgments were example of the vice

president referring to the relationship between saddam and al qaeda. and the intelligence community he kept asking the cia which was the piece asked. for to look into this and they kept saying there's no evidence. no conclusive evidence no persuasive evidence and asked many times he didn't say the intelligence community says there's a link he says the intelligence community has given me thirteen reports on saddam's connection with al qaeda and when he says that how did he feel you angry frustrated it's not a prudent thing for politicians to do because the intelligence community is presenting the same judgments to members of congress

members of congress can ask do you agree with what. and the answer would be i don't know specifically with no that's not the judgment of the intelligence community. so they're back to original question and i worried overly about politicisation about a deliberate distortion i'm not i think that. the number of instances of political distortion of intelligence intelligence community caving into political pressure from people who have done this work recent books by paul pl or and by. joshua rove both look at it at this and summers there's not very many examples in there decade sweep they've got basically the same examples and if my memory of both books is correct all of the examples are of the

director of central intelligence not lower level. it's at that level a position that straddles the boundary of the divide between analysts intelligence and policy makers the members of the national security they're supposed to be policy guides as well one of the last fourteen years we have seen to a large extent becoming an agent for us tonight that interventions from you can slavia three to iraq libya and then mali do you feel that this sort of intervention is aiding the fight against terrorism mali though it's a lot of it is depicted in. counterterrorist terms and part of you know the u.s. and other support of the or mali an army i think that the. if there's any upsurge in terrorist activity directed at. the west in general because french now u.s.

supported with the air airlift capacity it would be pretty small. well given what you said in the west's reaction is we're going to come and get the do you think that we're not going to see war interventions in the future i would doubt it i would doubt it that and i if i understand what president obama. is the tempting to do. to. scale back u.s. involvement scale back the assumption that the u.s. is you know nine one one if you've got any problem. in the world. that we'll be less assertive in doing it. other developed countries. we. don't have the military

capacity and it's a very much harder calculation in totally interconnected world transparent world communications that changes are going to come they're going to come out internally and most of it to six i think the prevailing mood is if you try to help insiders. conduct a revolution against a knock yourself or a terry and incompetent regime you take them you taint them and you taint yourself . so you. hope for the best sometimes you provide some assistance you come in they after they've got. some motive come of success so that's my sense of the way the wind is blowing your trajectory of the world so i was thinking thank you very much fewer thoughts in your time thank you for the questions and the time.
