likely expressing their plans set in motion by the united states or entertained by the united states in their wishes the wishes of the united states government there are perhaps plans in the war against iran their movements that take place today across the globe or against the hedge or monica expansion of the united states people of iran have been a ganster such a hedge of money for the last thirty two years and it is clear that during the last thirty two years because of the choice of the people of iran the united states government has been against that choice that rising that was taking place. place in libya that was against. germany the united states was taking place in libya. yes it was what is the wish of nations to rise up against the head germany of the united states today they can very quickly hold free referendums in libya. see whether people are against the germany of the united states or not but nato has not and will not allow such a thing to take place nato occupies nations by the force of their missiles by the force of aerial bombardment and with vast media campaigns they will not allow they will not allow their legitimisation o

who sees-- ceased the relationship, us or the united states government? during the algeria contract in its first amendment the united states government has committed herself not to intervene in any action, nor contribute to any action against the government of iran. allow me. i sent a message to mr. bush, to former president bush, former president bush instead of responding properly and diplomatically was quite offensive. i sent a message t president obama, never received a message back. >> rose: i think he wrote a letter to the supreme leader, dihe not >> you see, allow me to complete my thought. i sent him the message. he should not have taken a politically advantageous step in his own mind, at least. doest matter whether the letter was sent to me or the leadership. but it's a diplomatic move. you know how it works and everyone knows, when i am the origin of the messa, the response goeso another part of the authority. i am not heartbroken that the response went to the leadership. but it was intended to resolve issues. >> rose: so you are inviting america

determine the will of the people these if we engage the influence of the united states to think the higher ups in the united states government and the capitalist owners know this and they're always financing such moves. iran has enjoyed very good relations with turkey however turkey has just allowed the united states to place a nato anti-missile radar its territory which is obviously directed at iran and it is taking turkey is taking a harsh stand on syrian authorities that iran according to reports has been supportive or do you believe that iran is. relationship with turkey in any way given those two put it out. our ongoing relationship with turkey is a very good one it doesn't mean that we don't have differences establishment of those radar bases and radar systems i think it's been imposed on the nation of turkey today the united states of america is a bully has force and imposes its will just as you see that it's able to impose its will on many bigger powerful governments and nations but this in the long run one benefit the united states of america today the relationships between the various nations of the world and not d

wall street that somehow there would be a danger investors ignored all of this because the united states government like any central bank can print all the money it has there is no way that the united states government can default on its debt because it controls the printing press so of course it's impossible to downgrade it so the downgrade was only political nothing to do at all with finance well as you mentioned obama experts say going to burma will have to make a very hard maybe an impossible even choice right now what should be his economic priority tackling tackling the sovereign debt or unemployment he should of course tackle unemployment his policy is to increase unemployment his objective is to lower wages by ten to twenty percent because he believes the neo liberal myth he actually believes that a race to the bottom is how to win that if you cut back living standards if you lower wages that will make the economy more competitive or actually it makes the economy less competitive but his loyalty really is with wall street he believes that wall street is necessary to make the industrial econ

question of what's appropriate or inappropriate for the cuban government to respond i think if if a former cuban politician came to the united states and demanded to see my client the government would. not respond very supportive lee to that request we become victims of our own propaganda and certainly when for example a voice of america was set up in the in the days following the second world war congress recognized that and took very very careful step stay insulate the american public from the propaganda message that we were broadcasting abroad is it is it terribly surprising that they come to believe the very message that they were transmitting the question is are those grievances still the the appropriate way for us to to develop and execute our foreign policy yes or now i think. there are absolutely legitimate grievances that there is no question but if every person or you know my own family came to the united states because of the irish potato famine the irish potato famine doesn't drive our foreign policy with respect to ireland interesting point that would layman north attorney for defendant luis medina now fifteen activist

false imprisonment the violation of people's due process rights is a routine function of the united states government but instead because they are watching a corporate sponsored media they say well that's what's happening in iran that's what the iranian government does rather than focus on what their own government is doing which of course is far greater in terms of what it is doing around the world in terms of. disarray in people's due process rights. you know these hikers they reveal that while they were in iran that the guards would constantly remind them of comparable conditions and guantanamo back. and so do you think that the u.s. human rights record can be compared to iran's. well i i think the u.s. human rights record is one of the worst in the world and i think it's a fantasy that the u.s. media presents that somehow the americans are democratic and there's due process rights and people's people are not tortured when in fact it's just the opposite i don't know what the conditions are exactly in iran certainly i'm against any abuse of any prisoner held anywhere i think people's human rights a

market prices at one point just on august twenty fifth despite all these efforts by the united states government to go after this arcade which is a norwegian owned by some norwegian fellow based in london despite all the attempts by united states government to sue this company and somehow open up the yemenis. markets to other bidders also bidders american companies in particular they still go to contract and they purchase three million barrels barrels in august twenty fifth of this year i did ninety three per cent discount from the current price of brant crude so that when the underlying story here the story i think we're trying to get at is that oil gas business as a very capital intensive business and while the there was a lot of oil flowing in a lot of credit flowing these two things were hand in hand moving this relationship forward but now that if it peak credit let's say in two thousand and seven where credit is hard to get at you know the banking industry is collapsing so this is bringing to the surface really the nasty underbelly between banks and oil companies in the in these regions so

well the united states government has taken it upon it so to create terror a list of terrorist organizations not objective thing that gets you all who are there are. wild claims in the building because it would make you a terrorist it having a different political out with the united states government and so in many cases i disagree with our government's view about who is a terror act i think that bombings that you go over afghanistan and iraq really calls into question our own government that discuss the question of terrorism that said i traveled to colombia more than ten years ago where one of the things i did was probably in southern yet where people talk were happening with the revolutionary armed forces of colombia one of the groups on the terrorist list was very public about my experience i wrote about it when i returned that is very interested in with the process where for people. and we now know that in fact it was my work and that of one other person in saudi arabia was the colombian people that initiated this into. some of us look at our group have been to colombia though not very m

exclude them but i'm sure they're not happy about coverage that might be critical of what the united states government is doing in the same way the government of qatar may not be happy with the coverage that's critical of what they're doing especially when they're paying the bills so there's always this tension between the people who only media and the people who run media and other governments that are trying to influence media media is as a suggested a sort of battleground today and it will continue to be so but which what al-jazeera used that bed at that administration hasn't lavished praise on many you mentioned senator hillary clinton's comments but there are reports that senior white house administration officials have lavish praise on al-jazeera for their coverage of the arab spring which you know people are legendary and lined with us interests so do i i wouldn't be i wouldn't be surprised by the lore but you know virtually everybody in the media world lavish praise on al-jazeera for their getting on this story and staying with it as long as they did in as comprehensively as they did it was an

they have nothing, whatever, to do with the united states government. they don't even use u.s. passports if possible. they use their own passports. they don't vote. they don't let census workers on their land. this is where i did my interviews. they consider themselves a separate country. and one that predated this upstart in the united states of america and canada. so -- >> which is correct, of course. >> of course, yeah. >> and they are the same way and i think two or three others that are the same way. they are simply in their way self-supporting. and they don't take social security. now, if somebody needed food stamps, individually, some people do that. and some people on the reservation -- i think about half of them do go to churches and the others go to traditional longhouses. so this is their decision. and it's fascinating to me. they absolutely won't vote. they don't take any federal money for anything. they're just -- and they don't have a lot of money. these are the controversial people who sell cigarettes to get some money. and i did notice that everyone in the -- al

happening now, breaking news, the targets killing of an american citizen by the united states governmentls of the assassination of top al qaeda leader anwar al awlaki. >>> killed with him, another american who played a critical propaganda role for al qaeda. putting out its english language online magazine, a man who once said, he was proud to be an american traitor. >>> but there are serious questions about whether the killings are legal. critics are slamming them as summary executions. welcome to our viewers in the was around the world. wolf blitzer is off today. i'm joe johns and you're in "the situation room." >>> he was an american citizen who preached violent hatred toward america, and as leader of al qaeda affiliate he was linked to multiple terror plots. including the ft. hood massacre. months after taking out bin laden, the united states has killed anwar al awlaki, a leader of yemen-based al qaeda in the arabian peninsula. u.s. and yemeni officials sell cnn al awlaki died in a u.s. drone strike in yemen, along with another american man who produced al qaeda english language onlin

united states intelligence and law enforcement say they are concerned about revenge attack for the death. they say the government remains in a state of high alert and security overs haven't been reduced since the scares about the 9/11 anniversary. >> now the latest from washington where engineers have finished inspecting quake damage at the monument. today they went down the monument to remove loosened pieces of stone and mortar the priority to keeping anything loose from falling hurting anybody. they stressed its sound. >>> now to a remarkable story of are you verial in southern california. a man was found alive after crashing his car and spending six day s alone at bottom of a ravine. it was his family that found him. >> we stopped at every hill and ravine. we kept screaming we heard him say help help and there he was. >> reporter: it's an amazing story. he survived by eating leaves and drinking water from the creek. he asked for a chocolate heck shake. he broke a few rib. another car and a dead man were found nearby, apparently an earlier victim of the same road. >>> and a day after it was announced boa would

the united states government also has a lot to do. this work has got to continue. i know that we face a lot of challenges. we faced challenges of joblessness, and education system that is not quite working, if immigration policies and not quite working, we face deficits and debts and uncertainty about economic future. but let us never forgets the premise that our own security is linked to the well-being of others. and let us never forget, too, that out of chaos comes danger. the united states of america must lead. we must lead because it is important that the most compassionate and the most generous and the freest company -- country on the face of the earth would be the most powerful. we do not have an option to retire to take a sabbatical from leadership in the international community and in the world. if we do, one of two things will happen. there will be chaos. without leadership, there will be chaos. that is dangerous. it is quite possible that if we do not lead, somebody else will. perhaps it will be someone who does not share our values of compassion, the rig

probably more than that. >> so interesting, too, that this was an american and that the united states governmentgn soil. it's war. this is someone who had basically declared war against the united states and was doing a pretty effective job of radicalizing people against our interests. how important is it his citizenship? >> well, look, it took a good deal of both legal work and then leadership and courage on the part of the administration to be willing to target an american. john brennan my successor said quite clearly in a public speech, we won't let anyone wrap themselves in the pellflag and protect themselves while trying to protect us. this was a big deal and also sends a message to others who think they might be protected by the american citizenship. that that's not the case. and let's remember, i think when people think of al awlaki they think of his relationship with nidal hasan, the ft. hood shooter or the christmas day underwear bomber, but, let's remember, he goes back to 9/11. this was a very substantial figure. his information was found in the german apartment of ramsey ben al sheed

the united states government has been on an enhanced security measures in advance of the tenth anniversary of 9/11 already. the president's obviously asked the counterterrorism officials to redouble their efforts in light of this credible, but yet unconfirmed threat. >> it's your sense this is for real? >> it's been reported that it's specific and credible but it's not confirmed. given this is the tenth anniversary, obviously the way osama bin laden's compound, if you have 2346gs that this was the type of time frame, obviously, al qaeda would potentially target. we need to be very vigilant here and both at the federal government, local government level as well. >> let's turn to the speech, then. given what we've been seeing out of washington over the past several months, the president getting nothing out of this congress, he couldn't even make the speech on the day he wanted to. explain how what the president said tonight is relevant to that overriding concern out there, jobs? >> well, the president made, and i think a passioned plea to congress that the american people need action right a

the united states government began sending combat troops to south vietnam and. ask yourself what's going to happen all the. america's stated goal was to spread democracy and defend freedom but thirty years later the legacy of that ten year war which left fifty thousand americans and over three million vietnamese dead still remains unsettled. and in the decades of debate that followed the end of the war some stories have yet to be heard. today your soldiers sailors airmen marines and coast guard are better educated. or better informed. that traditional american ingenuity and if you. are better as a post fast. and understand what the war is all about killing . the sling. live. you misunderstand it like being. in front of the good. news here and when you're in basic training this crap and reported it to school or school at night will want to. really get over it i try to spend my whole life having people live a better life and basically feel better that's what nurses still. they tried to trick me into a killer they tried to trick me into somebody who would take a lif

lester brown uses scientific and economic studies together with data from the world bank united states government m.p. united nations to draft a global budget for restoring the earth we look at the two sort of major components of what we think it's going to take to create a sustainable future one is poverty eradication and population stabilization and then we treat those as one because we think they're closely related when we put the budgets together for eradicating poverty stabilizing population plus what we call the earth restoration budget it comes to a total of one hundred sixty one billion dollars now that's a lot of money it's a third of the u.s. military budget. it's a third of the u.s. military budget and the u.s. military budget is half of the global military budget which is now about a trillion dollars and if you asked the question could we reduce the u.s. military budget by a third. and shift those expenditures into poverty eradication population stabilization earth restoration i think it's clear that we would do far more to insure our future than if we just stay with a half trillion d

knew that the united states government nor the manufacturers of agent orange have compensated the vietnamese people. when we first started working in afghanistan and one of the things that surprised me was that it it actually was an area where natural and wild pistachio woodlands grew i didn't know that they actually existed there before and in fact they were a significant part of the pre-war economy people picked the pistachios and actually exported them that was worth millions of dollars as a source of income to people. in the deforestation we see in afghanistan is a product of three forces first of all you have the mujahideen that were using the forests for cover the soviets destroyed some of the force to prevent that second of all you have the afghans themselves harvested the forests. and stockpiled the wood because they feared that they'd be taken away during the collectivization process. and third you had land mines that were put in agricultural areas by putting the land mines agricultural areas that forced people to find other areas to grow food and the most obvious where the forests

too mr netanyahu has rules and he does so not because the united states it's subservient to israel now it's because the united states government and president when he faces such. huge domestic pressures domestic problems and then comes close to a reelection time. he has very small margin of maneuver on other issues such as the relationship with israel. so maybe if mr obama is reelected he might be more capable of really pushing for the program he suggested two and three years ago that all settlements or to stop including these jerusalem so that it would allow a more reasonable climate for negotiations are you concerned it's going to be violence for several months now the israeli army has been preparing for violence but there are those who are saying that it's almost as if it's creating the violence and it's preparation for it. yes that i think that's our. hypothesis that if there is any violence it would be really created by the israelis but we'll do our best not to respond. i mean look all the area around us. with the exception of libya the nato and all of that but syria egypt and tunisia you really have people who took as mu

the eagle is the only active square rigger in the united states government and it's the largest tall ship. >> we started out an i nice note. we were nice and dry earlier we were nice and sunny. now the clouds and starting to see rain as well. let's go head and zoom in on some of the moderate rain. up into aberdeen, even into perry man at this time. we are also looking, farther to the south we should see wet weather, annapolis, mayo, sliding across the bay, over to the eastern shore and we have a nasty storm now firing up, heading over toward church creek and we can see about 27 lightning strikes, this will be the situation through the rest of the evening. as you head out and about take the rain gear. we can see the temperatures in the 60's. mostly cloudy and by tomorrow it'll be much cooler, temperature around 58 degrees. i will elaborate on that coming up. >> thank you. if you want to know what's happening in your neighborhood, any day or night you can down load the weather app for the i- phone or i-pad. you can plan out your weekend, get an hour by hour forecast or the seven day ri

some years were quite closely with the united states government remember that the pens wanted security from the united states has. missile systems space that it has a large u.s. military base. so it's certainly for about five or six years now the income to if you lose weight for something and how to steer it it suited. and it suited. its anti american stance was known about on the arab street because that of course if catron gave. a great deal of popularity so unfortunately these cables reveal the reality that there had been some sort of you know negotiations and indeed you know relatively good relations so in that sense i think the. time for had to be sacrificed once and to come out in the open. twenty minutes past the hour here in the russian capital time for the world update now here on our city and a u.s. in death row in green executed by lethal injection in the state of georgia for the one nine hundred eighty nine shooting of an off duty policeman troy davis was convicted of the motor and nine hundred ninety one maintain that he was innocent the weapon was never discovered and d.n
