settled all outstanding bilateral issues relating to russia's assertion to the double ichiro and code but edward told me last week in the studio that that wasn't exactly the case so what's your impression where are we actually my impression is that we have. with us which are of concern to our partners or years of negotiations. probably mr on is of the right if you think symmetry we have to discuss together with united states and. trading partners into the world within the. framework so we have to do it. about. virtual disk with us we think it was well russia has already signed by letter agreement with the united states and back in two thousand and six yet if i'm not mistaken so what has changed since when you have to sign this well come up with another agree what we did with us in two thousand and six in hanoi we agreed on terms of market access to russian. market of goods and services but we have not discussed the so-called systemic commitments be sure russia has to undertake a course of its accession its commitments. in respect of how russia implement troops and most was negotiated

tragic night just making this up. .doc how do you make these assertions? >> guest: i have a lot of evidence. >> host: there's no evidence. >> guest: he appeared at a fundraiser in chicago, at which he spoke that obama maintain a relationship with them and tell his death a few years ago. but most of us don't maintain -- >> host: do you have other sources -- i'm from chicago and another. >> guest: one of them was he socialist. they were pretty close. they were texting each other right up until the election at which point he disappeared and he told david resnick i did want to be edited because i'm a revolutionary. if people find out about my close connection with obama it's going to hurt obama. that's the quote. "the roots of obama's rage" that's common sense. >> guest: bill and to my point is this is not a matter of stokely carmichael coming to my house. it's associations throughout his life. is a big difference. >> host: i would ask you why you only focused on the association that had with so-called radicals without evidence establishing much in closer, and

the point is i can assert anything i want. but you have as a good journalist you would ask me how do we know that's true? do you have documentation to prove that? if the chamber opens up its books and says here's where our political money is coming from, here are the million dollar, two or three million dollar contributions we've gotten from this company or that industry, then we'll know. but until they do that, all we have is their assertion. >> schieffer: do you... i guess i would put it this way. if the only charge three weeks into the election that the democrats can make is that somehow this may or may not be foreign money coming into the campaign, is that the best you can do? >> no. i think that we have a more fundamental concern, bob, which is that the republican party and the interest groups who are now the major force in some of these campaigns want to turn the clock back to the very same policies that got us into this mess in the first place, that exploded our deficits, that put the special interests in control to wri

i think they are a series of assertions that were made by officers in the field these assertions were by and large what the people who are writing them believe happened. we're in the unusual position of not being able to test them. sometimes we can cross reference what was suggested in these files against what was what is already on the public record so i think that there was a good faith amongst the people that were writing them down bearing in mind that were not meant to be leaks so it's not like they're rushing for any other audience than the military superiors so by and large i think that the wiki leaks trials are indeed credible. that's not to say that every single assertion that was made is correct live from baghdad that's martin speaking to us thank you for your time the middle east correspondent for the guardian. you're welcome. we've got more on that story including interviews and in that coverage on our web site r t v dot com you can find out what the wiki leaks spokesman has to say about the exposé and why he believes secrecy leads to corruption. but rather football found o

but until they do that, all we have is their assertion. >> schieffer: do you... i guess i would put it this way. if the only charge, three weeks into the election that the democrats can make is that somehow this may or may not be foreign money coming into the campaign, is that the best you can do? >> no. i think that we have a more fundamental concern, bob, which is that the republican party and the interest groups who are now the major force in some of these campaigns want to turn the clock back to the very same policies that got us into this mess in the first place-- that exploded our deficits, that put the special interests in control to write their own rules: the oil industry, wall street, insurance industry. that presided over economic policies that punished the middle class. their incomes dropped by 5% during the eight years before we got here. and that ultimately crashed our economy. and now, they want to turn the clock back to those policies. we just can't afford to do that. but these... this issue of this special interest spending is very important. it's

position we know it has made a couple of efforts to block russians assertion to w. is it being successful. continue accession and. is in the room. where we negotiate. struve. from plants. will not support session but what this means in terms we do know of three rules of the bhutto is loving to what country to walk accession of it has never happened in history and we hope that it will not happen no. optimistic in this respect but it's for double to members to decide. russia should accede not that do you think that other countries deadly two countries can influence belief c. so the georgia would stop blocking russia's and say will they want to do that what's your expectation. my expectations. of all the trade body with more than one hundred fifty countries. members real body real organized themselves in a way which we'll eliminate any possibility of blocking off activity of this organization. or even a few members so we were told from the beginning of the accession to the good fish is driven by members members of decisive force who saw as a result of what we hear from

there is a lowered expectation from the us latin america has become more assertive it's the versified its international policies countries like china and india are gaining a real share of of the market they're becoming. part of the the the region in and i think the countries of the region are taking many more decisions into their own he n yes i think the united states is backing away somewhat i think also though with a condom ia fifteen trillion dollars which is four times the economy of all of latin america put together u.s. markets u.s. investment u.s. technology remittances are still tremendously in poor. certainly for. mexico and central america and the caribbean and if you look at the economies of south america less important but nonetheless very very critical so yes the u.s. has a lowered political profile but it's still tremendously important economically ok oscar if i can ask you i mean peter let me. go ahead. yeah i'm not sure the puter understood me i do not think that the social progress suspend being made is because there's a consensus between these countries much of the s

in some way his assertions that actually gave the u.k. a very strong voice and it prevented further budgets being asked from the u.k. by the command that there was more spin than a washing machine assembly line he basically told us that he was going to say it was the law he knew he couldn't do that he knew the minimum it have to pay is the true point nine billion pound commitment because there was no way out of it and that's what's happened today he's trying to spin it that he saved the other four percent edge garbage absolute garbage and i am worried as well there's been some dodgy deal done with the germans and the french so that there isn't a referendum on the changes that they want to the lisbon treaty as well this is an affront to democracy not just for you but for germans and french and the other twenty seven countries in the european union a lot of sort of you've been rubbing your hands with glee then when we see a lot of this intense internal debate over the bailing out of weak economies obviously a lot of dissent between some of the major players would you rather then see the whole
