mikail said that gold scam plus the libby did have a arrived at the courthouse where the first day of their second charge will be read today for the details stay with their teeth. merry christmas you're fired. no job and no joy for millions of americans this festive season while the bankers rake in benefits and splash out on lavish parties. and want a tourist are the latest weapons being gauged by israel in lebanon as a bitter rivals launch competing war zone theme parks to get their points across. the rebel has hit a two and a half month high last december and continued to grow and this project thought the strengthening of the currency were in business in twenty minutes. ten am in the russian capital you're watching r t m arena joshie welcome to the program a moscow court has begun delivering its verdict in the second trial. the former head of the oil giant hugo see is already in prison for tax evasion and money laundering and faces new charges of theft we now cross live to our correspondent the result of all of this for us today because we know when it is a judge to give a court.

the whip and early in the new year they will make a decision concerning a possible rematch between libby devon hug plus they will look to get explanations from the supervisor and all three judges of the badges in written form vision but it's. a major disappointment believe it if his professional record is now twenty one wins and one loss however the thirty one year old is full software what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. frankly speaking we overestimated hug right up to the end i expected him to push forward in iraq and that's why i just held myself back trying to save energy that's why i didn't hang on the ropes after the end of the fight i was still fit i wasn't exhausted at all. i was knocking at the door and the door open but i didn't come it is just that this fight was all about herman i could have finished up several times but i didn't go for it it was my mistake so i'm far from blaming anybody it's all up to me i was thinking over the about a lot i hope it made me stronger and more experienced i've learned much from this fight and i will do my best to become tougher. next ti

in the center of your but you are absolutely wrong and the entire message is that the second point libby finish the second point is. he wants to sort of play of a parallel line between what happened in kosovo at the hands of a lot of its machinery of war machinery and what the k.l.a. did which you cannot do and it's absolutely wrong and thirdly in this report there is and not any new clear evidence to substantiate what he writes he says he has some if he has some left to reveal everything he has every fact to the ulick's office and possible then when we talk about of the fourth point where the cost of oil is a viable state or not and whether nato has been depicted the way of it i have heard from both you would gentleman is very unacceptable nagel's hands are not bloodstain at all nato did what it was required to do to protect an entire people from manipulation and actually nato put an end to the balkan wars and we have all the fact they were for doing that otherwise we would have seen probably more atrocities going on in nato in in europe and i don't agree with the terms of what i have h

the court concluded that mikhail khodorkovsky blood on libby's if planned and carried out a complicated scheme of embezzling oil and money through dealings with three smaller subsidiaries of ucas some modern you have to guess you gonski have to guess and after all oil extracting companies each was forced into a deal that was highly on profitable for them but extremely profitable for you can see their results thirty billion dollars worth of oil stolen by her that. through you can here's how it worked the oil was bought from the companies i don't know me or price said by ucas it was then sold at the same level to offshore trading companies secretly owned by so that called skin liberty if when it was then resold at market price they pocketed the difference six billion dollars was moved offshore through tomsk nafta alone. indeed this latest trial was also widely criticised by the west calling you that you are a validation of human rights but the russian foreign ministry has made an official statement statement about this saying that if such a case were to appear in the united states for exa

president at edelman digital and in auburn we go to lou rockwell he's a founder and chairman of the libby gun muse's institute and another member of our crosstalk team yellin the hunger all right gentlemen crosstalk rules are in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want gentlemen we live in a new age apparently we were all told that we need a structural change to our economy because of the great recession that we're still going through but will attitudes change as well because it seems to me they have to match and i'm course talking about consumption jewels if i can go to you we have we were talking about structural changes all through the eurozone in the united states but what about lifestyle choices in attitudes about consumption that they have to change as well. well i think they do and i think there's plenty of evidence that they are already changing plenty of evidence that societies in general shifting away from the hyper consumerism zeit geist to a more citizen centric zajac guys so i think this was already starting to happen pre recession i think the was already a need for

local reports at the time one lost track of a hundred thousand vials during the move to mexico asta libby's yeah they were going to send him to building seven down there at the world trade center complex but of course they blew that one up they consented to building seven they already took down building seven as newscasters in the u.s. are now tacitly admitting the fact that that was a controlled demolition so they sent him to war as mexico of course that would work makes sense for washington mutual which is now part of the whole wells fargo conglomeration of money launderers and drug gangs that's what cobi out go get out of that business now well it makes sense to get close to the source of where you're getting your drug you know money to launder you know whatever you are spragg is the bank do sure to recycle all that drug money it's hard to keep track and then the other headline of course that isn't really making news but here on the keiser report is the bailout of ireland eighty five billion euro fund for banks and public finances so that even the i.m.f. will offer the government of irel

>> there was a sense that the intelligence was shaky, the whole scandal that unfolded with scooter libby and some of the writing that's taken place on vice president cheney that's notably absent from the book. i mean, bush does apologize or admit kind of the crisis of confidence that resulted both in him and in the country from the failure to find weapons of mass destruction. but the questions that have been raised how much did national security experts actually know is not in the book and that's not surprising. but i do think it's a piece of the story that will have to be addressed, will have to be researched. in terms of the caller's question, you know, after we entered iraq and we learned that the weapons weren't there, there were some making that argument. remember -- and i can't remember but the suggestion they had been hidden. they had been moved. but it is notable that president bush doesn't say that in this book he doesn't fall back on that defense. so that's really speculation to say that. and i think they would need to be a lot more evidence to support that claim at this point.

liberals i think will desert the coalition as supporters of it because they voted for the scooter libbyral party at the last election not expecting a coalition government. so there was a huge opportunity for progressive politics in this country. i want us to succeed in building a nation that is economically stronger but i also see that you've got to balance economic growth with fairness and a strong sense of social justice. and so you need a strong progressive party in our country and i think the labour party will take from the liberals a large proportion of their support and this is the opportunity for what is really going to be a decisive shift in the way british politics is seen in the future. >> rose: to hear you say that suggests that you believe some new progressive labour party is a better idea than what new labour was personifyed by tony blair and you. >> no, because what tony and i tried to do was to adjust the labour party to the times that we faced then. and it's really a continuation of the argument i put right at the beginning. this is a new world, charlie. you know, we've

president bush commuted libby prison sentence. let's go to richard, independent line in michigan. caller: hello, i would like to thank the congressman for taking my question. i have three comments about what we are talking about today. when i will let you respond and i will hang up. -- then i will let you respond and i will hang up. when i hear the republicans talking about the mandate of the people from the last election, sure, it was, but in 2008 there was also a mandate of the people. i have seen two years of republican sitting on their hands doing nothing about that mandate. also, i'm a small business person, and these tax cuts in no way affect me. i would say most people, the vast majority, if the tax break was not extended -- guest: 10 i asked richard a question? host: i'm sorry, i just disconnected him. that is my fault, richard. guest: every third dollar that you are counting on now goes to government, you've got a problem. if that business is trying to expand and hire a new person, right now, they are not. it is hard enough to try to cut -- to predict the market. if we do

you stated the national credit union administration expects a libby, approximately $8 billion in assessment which is a good bit of money. what impact will these assessments have on credit unions? can they still be viable? >> yes. the credit union industry is well capitalized. they have capital and that is under 10%. i do feel that there are some credit unions -- no doubt the a burden.s are the corporate stabilization fund -- we appreciate your support. it allowed us to spread out the costs to the credit unions. it will affect the roa of some credit unions. we feel because of the significant capital, credit unions have, there will be able to meet those assessments. >> your insurance fund, what is the value of it today? >> it is about $800 billion. >> you have $800 billion in hand. that would be a lot more money than the fdic ever had. >> $8 billion. >> that $8 billion in shares how many -- the value of your accounts today. the first of december. >> the assets are bad. $800 million. >> it insures the credit, the integrity of $800 billion. you think that is adequate? >> i do. >> especially in

the commutation by president bush -- scooter libby's sentence -- it was dealt with, as you say, with sentence to jail. i am interested in your comment about assange, in the sense about some contribution he may have made. one of the reasons i find this all very difficult is, as one can see, by reading our newspapers, some of the material that had been made available -- even though it does not show misconduct from the united states -- does permit a better understanding of certain things going on in the world. at the same time, that the understanding can proper -- compromise our ability to accomplish whatwp want in the world. when wikileaks reports about yemen, for example, the about -- about the yemenis leaders saying to an ambassador, you, the u.s., can continue to bomb al qaeda, and we will say we did it. and that, in general,ç is something that the u.s., its people, believe is a good thing. we want to combat al qaeda, but at the same time, we learn something of significance, in reading that conversation. are we better off, on balance, knowing that, or letting it happen without know

sharing between the department of defense and the fbi, clarified analytic responsibilities and new and libbying courses within the community, improvements and refine its in the watch-list process that service the counter-terrorism community. accelerated deployment of advanced imaging technology in airports and advances from carbo screening and security cooperation. protecting the american people is an ongoing and constantly evolving process. it is the goal of the counter- terrorism community to stay several steps ahead of our adversaries so we can stop terrorists dead in their tracks before they are able to carry out either small scale or potentially devastating attacks. that is what the president has directed. that is what the american people rightly expect and deserve. and that is what we are bound and determined to do. thank you. >> wondering if -- you cannot talk about specifically intelligence, but you know of anything that is driving these efforts? >> as we have discussed previously, we're concerned about how high the's plan to carry out attacks and the state department has issued an a

. >> libby asked a couple of questions.the question i think i was asked earlier about the hub and spoke system and other countries, or the congress for that matter. that hubbard's boat question is very much like ours, a experience where facing terrace with that for the weakest link to book for the system. because of the system will be screened and rescreened generally speaking. so what, for example in africa does the hub and spoke system look like? and am i right that which i would for the terrorists would try to find the weakest link on the hub and spoke system in order to get the system and how are responding to that? soon i guess, serotonin is a very limited number of supports in africa that provide direct service to the united states. from every airport except preclearance airports i mentioned previously, at every airport, everyone has to be rescreen. the passengers are prescreened. their accessible property is rescreened and checked packages rescreened. it's not as though, the person gets on an aircraft in uganda and f
