RT, originally Russia Today, is a Russian government-funded television network which runs cable and satellite television channels directed to audiences outside the Russian Federation, as well as Internet content in various languages including Russian. RT International, which is based in Moscow, presents around-the-clock news bulletins, documentaries, talk shows, and debates, as well as sports news and cultural programmes about Russia. RT operates as a multilingual service with conventional channels in three languages: the original English language channel was launched in 2005, followed by the Arabic language channel in 2007 and the Spanish language channel in 2009. RT America (since 2010), and RT UK (since 2014) offer some locally based content for those countries.
RT is a brand of "TV-Novosti", an "autonomous non-profit organization", founded by the Russian news agency RIA Novosti on April 6, 2005. During the economic crisis in December 2008, the Russian Government headed by Vladimir Putin included ANO "TV-Novosti" in the list of core organisations of strategic importance of Russia.

Late last night I saw you doin' the street
Dodgin' the cops on the beat
It wasn't necessary to know my name
Just to, take me home to play
Sidewalk Sally, crawlin' down the alley
On her hands and knees
Sidewalk Sally, knows what she's sellin'
A little taste of apathy
Now the girl with the golden touch
? short week, don't cost much
I got the money honey, you got the bun
I'll pay for your time, grab the money and run
Sidewalk Sally, crawlin' down the alley
On her hands and knees
Sidewalk Sally, knows what she's sellin'
Apathy
She's on the street again
Out on her path alone again
She can't be late for the devil's son
She looks scared, watch her run
So scared mama look at you run
Run run run, mama look at you run
Yow! So scared mama look at you run
Run run run, mama, look at you run
Sidewalk Sally
Sidewalk Sally
Things were different, in the beginning
There was a future you were winning
But wear and tear, has started to show
The white lady, she won't let you go
Sidewalk Sally, crawlin' in the alley
On her hands and knees
Sidewalk Sally, she knows what she's sellin'
She's shortchanged ya, with apathy
Sidewalk Sally
