quote revenge and. targets that people aren't going to share confidential the chatter. this is wrong with that movie and should be trying in their own country and i certainly did no harm trying to washington this morning has led to this alleged. that and were taken this morning from the corinthia hotel in tripoli by armed gunmen people on the scene and witnesses who work in the hotel say it looks more like a restaurant as there was any violence to take it to undisclosed between the government and said that he was taken by what they believe to be who were rebels the government expected to six rebels the chamber revolutionaries and fight against crime. saying that it's more the kidnappings took a book for you to know exactly what's happening right now because. a lot of. the resolution which topple gadhafi the government could struggling to control tribal

militias. militants to control parts of the country it's very unclear exactly what we're going to run against in the coming out of the thing whether you could take it on corruption charges or in fact kidnapped is a mystery. all right. alliance thank you very much indeed. the u.s. government shutdown is well into its second week now and the country could default and another seven days and while officials on capitol hill wrangle over politics the lines of many ordinary americans are literally depending on an outcome in a fortnight explains 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.i. age 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 during upward r.t. . the ongoing government in parts is affecting foreign policy today with president obama canceling his four nation asian told us today secretary of state john kerry warns the big u.s. won't be able to sustain its goals abroad if the deadlock continues on he's an isa now a spoke to one of america's most prominent political analysts and linguists chomsky who brought down what hey sees as the shortcomings of u.s. foreign policy. on the faculty at mit and i'm. getting more heavily involved now they were activities for the last few years a thinker writer a linguist cognitive scientist and non-conformist for decades. like the recent very very serious defects flaws in their. church history.

noam chomsky's work 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 us foreign policy and it is going to set policy and special interests in certain places aside most will never hear the press respond to those. straightforward sweeping and powerful let's just say get over it because. we want to we 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 pressing global issues he 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 longstanding efforts to establish. a 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 would participate. then everyone was waiting to see what was interesting was waiting to see what iran would say iran's they would participate with no conditions immediately obama called off the conference. giving the reasons which are the official israeli reasons can't have a conference until this regional peace settlement of course in the background there can't be a regional peace settlement until the u.s. and israel stop blocking the international consensus and israel palestine agreement as they are doing and 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 terrorist journals or in articles that i write things on the fringe with the presses so i know about it 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. curious comical weapons are not there just for fun they were there as a counter to is really nuclear weapon there's only. so there's a broader issue this goes back to the question of weapons of mass destruction freezone in the middle east which the us is the blocking for the same reason so this is a partial. it's good in itself but very partial on the broader opportunities not being who flew 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 the 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 is very low. and drones according to trump ski are a direct threat to america. well four of the biggest tours in the world. never grow. which would prove a moratorium or it's generated. from the highest level. short of. the road it was create and 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. doctor charm school gave you all see plenty more insight into how the u.s. operates domestically and abroad so make sure you log on to auntie dot com for the interview that. in a show of optimism they agree government's drowned budget is assuming the economy will slowly start to pick up next year but there are many go down greece will return to growth so soon with unemployment expected to remain high the forecast for october promises a new record with around twenty eight percent agreed struggle is thousands of workers are at threat from the or thought his cost cutting drive has aussies under far more reports. there was a time when the bay of the rim just north of athens could only support a small fishing community but the arrival of the large 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. on his body now by going any worker imagine his future without work i live here i was raised here my grandfather worked here so 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's a money making machine that when you. feed. one side you get let it all go or 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 largo have rallied and handed their own plan to be i.m.f. who they believe is wrong to question the plant's 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 either supply or services including the support disappears those jobs due to. across the water the people who

quietly go business. create. community generations have lived and worked here the burning question is for how much. andrew farmer. in a lecture given in london hung garin prime minister viktor orban criticize the. optimism confidence and lacking a clear image of the future to push for member nations to push forward with their own policies while praising the way his own country has reformed. asked him why he was speaking out against brussels. when viktor hungary controversal prime minister gave a talk at chatham house in prague of journalists and members of the institute he started to go on i am 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 his relationship with the european union first the sort of the sort of on the table land of opportunity but increasingly he said hungary and see a european union which is on this and unclear where it's going in the future politically that hungary still has very positive feelings about being a member of european union but that which has an opportunity for renewal and regeneration of the institutions in his country has shown he says that things cannot go order as they are to neglect the differences between the e.u. countries he was very clear about saying no one here is a member should have the right to dictate that economic policy with three of. the all the g. and knowledge the diversity between that this concept of patriotism and nationhood still exists inside the european union but i also am about the risks of doing

movements to arrangements. policy with regards to you know you came. close by brussels the flood the political and economic integration he was very clear about the baltic allies relation and i'm old i'm going to strongly related to success. if hungary if you have a successful country if it be not isolated if you feel if you think it's all about a nose day that his close to politically differentiate hungary from the rest of europe be an experiment in the poetry of hungry that includes a profile pic gets more of. this is coming out western companies listed exploit any problem between washington and tehran to move into iran's markets around the country scholar industry outranks investors despite top sunshines story in a few moments. i

think. it's a good dream speech will. respect the strength. of the front. seat. there's a media lead also we believe that maybe. the city pushes you to the other your party years ago. for shoes that no one is asking with the gas that you deserve answers from it's all politics only on our team.

you're watching the line from moscow welcome back iran and the you asked recently it signaled a stall in political relations and many now hoping that an easing of the tough sanctions against iran could follow but one area that is thriving regardless is iran's automobile industry and iran ranks as the middle east the biggest culprit juicer and assertive than the wild it produces one point six million vehicles a year and industry which accounts for ten percent of g.d.p. final the top ten come producers in iran are based on french designs as you can see here and despite a buy on parts shipments some of the most popular show and rain or models are still made in iran no official business is possible between the u.s.

and iran now but american companies like auto maker general motors are already moving in to secure their positions and sure melbourne or a drone is for the french low figure a newspaper has been closely following the industry believes the u.s. is preparing the ground to take over iran's market. i think already there of been some secret contacts between us for ns and iranian counterparts in order to to prepare a. political deal between iran and the united states mainly these contacts. in the automobile sector and fortunately for us in france we are the brother the last one in europe to who tried to to to go to iraq because for the last the last years france was extremely active in the fighting against the iraq war from was exerting

a lot of pressure you know for the last twenty years the us were outside the the french businessman i do quite a good position in iran to draw or know 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 it's time now for our she's a world other days the sound fast we go to china shanghai as close dozens of zoos and parks as a deals with flooding the mount of rain was the highest in a single day for half a century thanks to typhoon fades out roads and houses were inundated and the storm cause rivers to breach and also power failures schools and factories have been suspended and some residents have nothing to eat and drink at least seven million people across china have been affected. sixty people have been reportedly

killed in sectarian clashes near the mining village of gargling in the central african republic fighters mostly from neighboring chad and sudan at target christians and fought with local militias in return for previous assault on the rich and resources but with a poor economy the african country has descended into mayhem since mostly muslim seleka rebels took control of the capital that prompted france to call for international intervention the un security council. and berlin has gone through a drafting transformation a festival of light in the german capital has eliminated its most famous landmarks buildings streets and squares international and local artists gathered for the annual event which is taking place for the ninth time the first of all it has become part of the international illumination of circuit alongside displays in new york sydney and mosque. the u.s.

government shutdown as if actually many thousands but not the employees of essential federal services which includes drug enforcement agents america has been engaged in a war on drugs since the nineteen seventies costing the taxpayer billions of dollars a year and it seems that it has hardly been winning this battle with many questioning its economic sense and 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 candidates has suffered a nosedive or about eighty percent and not only have the drugs become cheaper the purity on the contrary has risen and done work from the international center for science and drug policy says the u.s. war on drugs is based on the wrong strategies. given the billions that has been spent over the past two decades in particular on the war on drugs and just the

increasing volume of drug seizures over this time it's surprising that these trends towards lower prices increasing period a year or 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 globally 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 coming up next states breaking descent with highest i've been awesome here and i'll see.

you know it's getting old trying to beat the war drums to invade iran i think the let's invade iran talk has been going on since i was in college to keep the saber rattling rolling israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu declared in front of the un that iran is building nuclear weapons that could hit new york in three to four years no he said new york obviously he is trying to spook a certain country with nuclear destruction the delegates from namibia were probably unmoved sadly this time netanyahu failed to bring a funny cartoon bomb picture with him like in his two thousand and twelve un speech in which he also warned the world about the threat of a nuclear iran you know i might be more optimistic about israel accusing other

countries of being nuclear threats if they had a better track record themselves although israel is a bit candid with their arsenal according to a b.b.c. article the federation of american scientists believes that israel's arsenal has grown to about two hundred nukes based on their surveillance of ever expanding facilities inside the country also let's not forget that israel has plenty of ways to deliver those two hundred nuclear bombs if the need be so my question is why should we automatically trust israel with a lot of nuclear weapons but not iran is it because they're bureaucrats where european suits and shave i don't know it just seems to me that disarmed countries are better advocates for nuclear disarmament but that's just my opinion. i was convinced in all my interaction with you that. iran was not on determined to make nuclear weapons. but it was important for them. than the identity.
