. and let's not turn to some other news this hour. you have brought you the brinkmanship has the most vulnerable with hundreds of patients forced to wait for treatment until the government shut down and. were horrible for. their growth. which. we're now an american intellectual chomsky talks to see about the way it's being global politics and the controversial wall of the. also employment in greece is expected to hit another record high enough job despite the government promising a recovery will bend away on my next. class iran sky industries booming in defiance of top western sanctions on its economy but

foreign companies look to move in and take advantage that. this is see coming to life. and welcome to the program the u.s. government shutdown as well into its second week now and the country could default on another seven days and while officials on capitol hill wrangle over politics the lives of many ordinary americans are literally depending on an outcome in a fortnight explain. the ten day u.s. government shutdown is not only jeopardizing our america's economy and credibility it has also turned into a life or death situation for hundreds of citizens for each week the shutdown

continues roughly two hundred sick patients cannot be accepted to clinical treatment trials at the national institutes for health that's nearly four hundred sick americans desperately in need of medical treatment for illnesses including cancer the n h says among the patients being turned away include children with cancer are reported seventy five percent of and i his employees thousands of people have been furloughed because of washington's self-inflicted shutdown as a result michelle langbehn who is battling sarcoma hasn't been able to receive the treatment and medication needed to save her life the new mother along with hundreds of others couldn't begin trial treatments and i age at the start of this month now langbehn started a petition designed to put pressure on congress to reopen the government and as of wednesday one hundred thousand people have signed on to support her effort the problem is us leaders who have the power to change the situation have failed to

agree on a budget a political deadlock that leaves the lives of cancer stricken adults and children in limbo reporting from new york. r.t. . growing government impasses having an impact on foreign policy of turkey with president obama counseling his four nation asian told us today secretary of state john kerry warned that the u.s. won't be able to sustain its goals abroad if the deadlock continues and knew so now is spoke to one of america's most prominent political analysts on linguists charles kaye who broke down what his sees as the shortcomings of u.s. foreign policy. i'm. right on the faculty at mit and i'm. getting more and more heavily involved in every war activities for the last few years a thinker writer a linguist cognitive scientist and non-conformist for decades. like thirty six very very serious defects flaws in our society here in this picture institution

. noam chomsky's work that goes well beyond the walls of the massachusetts institute of technology the author of over a hundred books has long been debating the other side of u.s. foreign policy and he says it is going said i'll see some special interest in certain places side of most whenever i hear the press responded because by yourself mr straightforwardness with the powerful let's just say get over it because. we want to read we have for sure the world but for the present chomsky invited our two to sit down with him in boston to discuss some of today's prices global it seems they began with iran and hopes of a new u.s. policy. is pessimistic. last december there was supposed to be an international conference in finland to carry forward a longstanding effort to establish. zone free of

nuclear weapons or weapons of mass destruction in the middle east didn't happen the first thing that happened is israel announced they wouldn't participate. so it was waiting to see what was interesting was waiting to see would iran would choose your room so that they would participate with no condition immediately obama called for . giving the reasons which are the official israeli reasons cannot have a conference until this regional peace. of course in the background there can be a regional peace settlement until the us and israel stop blocking the international consensus on an israel palestine agreement as they're doing have been thirty years so no meeting people in the united states have done very almost nothing about it for a very simple reason not a word about this is appeared in the american press literally you can read about it

in arms control journals or international affairs journals or and articles that i write things. with the presses so i don't so no pressure on syria chomsky says getting rid of chemical weapons is a good first step but not enough great opportunities are being missed during kind of the weapons are not there just for fun they were there as a counter to is really who cares what is or is the only. nuclear. so there's a broader issue just goes back to the question of the weapons of mass destruction free zone in the middle east which the us is blocking for the same reason so this is a partial. it's good in itself let her partial on the broader opportunities are not being pursued we also talked about one of the most pursued men in the world

chomsky doesn't buy edward snowden is a threat to u.s. national security and security is almost always relevant but its security of the government from its own population that's the security concern genuine security like security of the population. and very low. and drones according to tom ski are a direct threat to america where the ground is where four of the biggest story of the world. never wrote. which would. prove the more it's meet or it's generated. from the highest level of the most sort of. routine that the grown ups create will. thank you very much for your time for inviting us to your office here at mit that with noam chomsky and i mean it's in our way for

our team. and let's go beyond tel breaking news this hour so edward snowden's father is here in moscow snowden sr is here and will try to reunite with his son who has been at an undisclosed location here in russia is going off is at sheremetyevo airport where long snowden. you go high about this trip by long snowden has been several months in the making what took him so long. good morning we're standing right outside a launch pad should a major way forward and. should enough we've been consulting edward snowden pretty much since the beginning of the story since he landed in moscow were actually at the chance and fallen off the same shooting into an airport she's already inside the building and the windows so we saw him accompanying

a man. right at the window all the checkpoint sort of supporter checkpoint so i presume that that was mr edward snowden's father and he's now inside obviously has landed if it's him and he's now being accompanied by music which should be enough but both of them are inside right now so we're waiting for them to come out this could happen at any moment if it does that i'm going to stop this week for of course i'll come back a bit later i'm going to try to ask mr snowden senior. watches questions that. lots of representatives of the media want to ask him but for sure this trip has been in the planning for quite some time there speculation that mr snowden senior finding to visit his son back in august but reportedly there were problems. in the united states with his visit he did legibly receive

a russian visa but it's only happening now it's very unexpected too. and we're going to be asleep he is coming here to meet with his son we don't know yet whether it's going to happen later today a whole perhaps in the next few days and where it's going to be like you said edward snowden himself has been pretty much kept at an undisclosed location all we know is that he's in a safe place and he is going through this. troll graham all. the images ation sort of in russia now snowden himself became in the center also the global media spotlight. back in june when he arrived at should be made to airport in the transit zone of the jim sounds of controversial documents suggesting that the national security agency or united states has been spying on ordinary

civilians and special worldwide so this story is once again peering into world headlines and well like i said we're going to wait to see what's going to happen a bit later today and of course we're waiting for mr snowden's father to come out of the v.i.p. lodge absolutely you are thank you very much indeed and of course we'll be talking to lace on this developing story as they fall though than to say whistleblower edward snowden is a moscow to see his son a risk and all that with an update say a girl many thanks indeed does of course we'll bring you more information as we get it on this developing story. let me go now in a shot of optimism the greek government's drawn the budget is a fuming the economy will slowly start to pick up next yet but there are many who down to greece will return to growth so soon with unemployment expected to remain cripplingly high this whole conflict from this is a new record with

a wrong twenty eight percent greeks out of jobs thousands the walkers are right to fret by they also were his cost cutting drive as a hit and you saw a ripple. there was a time when the bay of the arena just north of athens could only support a small fishing community but the arrival of the lark a smelting plant on its banks changed all that i employing a thousand strong workforce for decades however its days could now be numbered the government is considering closing it as part of radical cutbacks and workers turn up fearing what lies ahead. as a government is boring now but can any worker imagine his future without work i live here i was raised here my grandfather worked here how can i imagine my future without this plant. largo's commercial manager gave me a tall amid the grime and flames he pointed out the plant is among the biggest and

most modern in europe a recent slump in profits he says is a result of a short term plunge in the price of nickel and the government's doubling of the price of electricity closure though in his eyes is not an option he wants privatization it is a money making machine that when you. meet. one side you get but it will go there no government is good. business with. each other but that. we want to be private. but we want it to be forever does the good way then as it is. the greek government has tough choices to make to meet i.m.f. bailout conditions it has to x. four thousand public sector jobs and reduce the salaries of twenty five thousand more by the end of the year in the meantime workers at lark i have rallied and

handed their own plan to the i.m.f. who they believe is wrong to question the plants viability. or we can prove the i.m.f. is wrong this factory is profitable and has a future and we have made a plan to counter the lies and tell the truth. the future of this plant will also determine the fate of the surrounding economy and that's because around twenty thousand people are employed in industries that leave the supply or service it including this port so if largo disappears those jobs due to. across the water the people of low quietly go back their business model only has lark oh created jobs spawned a community generations have lived and worked here the burning question is for how much longer andrew farmer for r.t. . and back to our breaking news now and he is the latest

exclusive footage from the show metro airport where edward snowden's father has landed and we hope to see him at passport control as far as standard at moscow's sheremetyevo airport right now and this footage comes courtesy of r.t. is roughly these are agency and of course we'll bring you more information as soon as we get it to stay with us. in the lecture given in london hungary and prime minister all been criticized the e.u. for losing it optimism confidence and lacking a clear image of the future he pushed for member nations to push forward with own politics while praising the way his own country has reformed smith i ask him why he was speaking out against brussels. when viktor orban hungary's controversial prime minister gave a talk at chatham house in prague of journalists and members of the institute he

started his new mexico on i am on gary and he's that we have a unique and we produced more history that we could possibly manage he started by telling the story of hungary's relationship with the european union first the stories of the sort of on the table land of the opportunity but increasingly he said hungary and see a european union which is on the person and unclear of where it's going in the future politically he said hungary still has very positive feelings about being a member of european union but the places which opened up an opportunity for renewal and regeneration of the institutions in his country has shown he says that things cannot go order as they all do neglect the differences between e.u. countries he was very clear about saying no new reason members should have the right to dictate their own economic policy with free of an ideology and knowledge that diversity between this concept of patriotism and nationhood still exist inside

the european union but i also know about the risks of doing the most to bring to this policy with regards to you know he came to talk first by brussels of the political and economic integration he was very clear about his own political isolation in the mold. i'm going to strongly related to success. if hungary if you have a successful country to be not isolated if you feel if you think it's all bad news day that his close to politically differentiate hungary from the rest of europe an experiment in the forestry of hungary that includes a profile pic that's for us. coming out for you later this hour western companies look to secure a position in the ana as the country's kind of tree grows rapidly despite top sanctions. and also i had a lot has america's war on drugs achieved well look and they affect so be closely

bought so in a few modeling. clay .

i. millions around the globe struggle with hunger. what if someone offers a lifetime supply no charge. let's move on now this is as watson banks backed sanctions take a toll on a rainy and oil sales tehran seems to have found another way to boost revenues with the country's automobile industry iran ranks as the middle east biggest copper juicer and thirteen's in the world it produces one point six million vehicles a guess as industry which accounts for ten percent of g.d.p.

five of the top ten cars produced in iran are based on french designs as you can see here so some of the most popular and are enormous rolls are made in iran as well and while european producers try and buy tired rather by western sanctions u.s. images are already moving in to secure a possible positions in the country among the most active u.s. automaker general motors and george bernard journalist for the french low figure our newspaper has been closely following the industry believes u.s. companies are preparing the ground to take over iran's market. i think already there of been. secret contacts between us for and iranian counterparts in order to to prepare or to anticipate a political deal between iran and the united states mainly these contacts of kurds in the automobile sector and fortunately for us in france we are the brother the

last one even tried to to to go to iraq because for the last the last years france was extremely active in the fighting against that you war from is exerting a lot of pressure you know for the last twenty years the us where outside the the french businessman i do quite good positioning around the. automobile sector and now they're afraid that these all these years of the force will be cleaned by the new deal which will between us and iran for sure that the european companies will be most probably losers in this kind of agreement and news just in their reports say the libyan prime minister ali's a down has been kidnapped by an armed militants in tripoli witnesses say they had a big government was taken from a hotel and taken away in an unknown direction on this as we get.

the u.s. government shutdown is affecting many thousands but not the employees of essential federal services which includes drug enforcement agencies america's been engaged in a war on drugs since the nineteen seventies costing the taxpayer billions of dollars a year but it seems that it has hardly been winning this battle with many questioning its economic sense according to the latest numbers over the last forty years it cost washington at least one trillion dollars despite all america's efforts in the years between one thousand nine hundred ninety and two thousand and seven the average price of heroin cocaine and kind of it has suffered a nosedive and about eighty percent but not only how the trunks become cheaper their purity on the contrary has arisen downward from the to national center for science in drug policy says the you are sworn drugs is based on long stare

strategies given the billions that has been spent over the past two decades in particular on the war on drugs and just the increase in volume of drug seizures over this time it's surprising that these trends towards lower prices increasing career year so start at present you know i don't think there is a lot of interest in moving towards more effective approaches i would suggest that you know it doesn't matter what you do to try to contain this market when it's worth three hundred fifty billion a year low believe it's going to be incredibly difficult to to constrain it but instead i think what needs to be happening is a movement by governments by international bodies like the united nations towards using metrics that you know are more focused on reducing demand for drugs rather than trying to you know continue on this costly and ill fated attempt at reducing

supply. and now it's time for our wild. fires to china shanghai city has closed dozens of zoos and parks as a deals with flooding that amount of rain was the highest in a single day for half a century thanks to typhoon photo rows and houses war and data and the storm caused rivers to reach and power failure is schools and factories have been suspended and some residents have nothing to eat and drink and at least seven million people across china have been affected. sixty people have been reportedly killed in sectarian clashes near the mining village of gandhi in the central african republic fighters mostly from neighboring chad and sudan attacked christians and forth with local militias in retaliation for previous assault on the rich and resources but with a poor economy the african country has descended into the mayhem as most of the

muslim seleka rebels took control of the capital that prompted france to call for international intervention at the un security council. and has gone through a darkly transformation a festival of light in the german capital has eliminated its most famous landmarks and buildings streets and squares international and local art has gathered for the annual event which is taking place for the ninth time the festival has become part of the international illumination circuit alongside displays in new york sydney and moscow. so edward snowden's father lawn is now in moscow having touched down at the airport and here are the latest pictures from there courtesy of. the reader agency so i hadn't seen his trip has been planned since august and he's finally arrived at the very same airport where his

son spent five weeks in transit limbo before receiving asylum and of course we'll bring you more the story as we get it. coming up it smacks of stacy with the latest edition of the kaiser report that came up. all. i was convinced in all my interaction with iran that. iran was nobbs determined to make nuclear weapons but it was important for them. and identity. be seen and shown a sense of dignity. deliberate torch is on its epic journey to such. one hundred and twenty three days.
