As horrific as present-day events are, such sadism would be unthinkable today in most of the world. This is just one example of the most important and under appreciated trend in the history of our species: the decline of violence. My optimism lies in the hope that the decline of force over the centuries is a real phenomenon, that it is the product of systematic forces that will continue to operate, and that we can identify those forces and perhaps concentrate and bottle them.

Между выпусками новостей - интервью в прямом эфире, спортивные и биржевые сводки. Идея англоязычного российского телевизионного канала появилась, когда стало ясно, что зарубежный зритель или вообще ничего не знает о событиях в современной России, или знает очень мало.
Новости из России и о России. Из сегодняшнего выпуска новостей зарубежные телезрители могли узнать о переговорах между Газпромом и Минском о цене на газ, о том, погода в декабре выдалась необычно теплой и как москвичи собираются встречать Новый год. Беспристрастно и объективно - но это не значит холодно и отстраненно, говорят на канале. Russia today - это пристальный взгляд на развитие современной России, в которой успехи чередуются с проблемами. Играть на одном информационном поле с такими признанными лидерами, как CNN и BBC - задача трудная, но, как оказалось, выполнимая. У англоязычного российского телеканала получилось самое трудное - стать своим среди чужих.
