second chance at life. where they are watching r t welcome to the program carriage austin now thousands of american homeowners facing foreclosure have been queuing for up to thirty hours to get free help from the housing advocacy group in washington d.c. more than three hundred thousand homes are being repossessed in the country every month and you know those who face the using the roof over their heads feel the government's program ended helping them is failing not easy christine for so reports. these are the faces behind the crisis we're waiting and hoping and praying to but we can decide to help everybody you know to help you know to help and that's what we're looking for you know the desperate voices of those who have reached the end of the line or am i to am what time nine thirty nine

thirty last night and if you sleep here you're right gondola nichrome naomi lawrence took several buses from florida eighteen hours then arrived at the washington d.c. convention center thursday morning waiting thirty hours to get in oh you've been our boy it's tat and we don't have no place to one bathroom. but they waited anyway for a chance to restructure the mortgages on their homes all part of the save the dream tour good you need to go on put on by the neighborhood assistance corporation of america or natca this is a look at foreclosure activity around the united states during the last year the height of it came in march of this year but never once did it fall below three hundred thousand homes in a month everybody here has tried to work with their lender and it's failed c.e.o. bruce marks calls himself a financial terrorist and with the help of many volunteers works with people to

help them they get counseling and meet with lenders to come up with an affordable mortgage or to lower their interest rate or both not everyone qualifies but everyone is at least promised an answer the where in adjustable rate mortgage and that rates just keep going up and it's this and believable not the targets people with nowhere else to turn my more dish basically is out of reach some actually. choosing whether to keep or pay mortgage. there are also target scenarios of big banks who they say caused this crisis five protesting outside their houses putting furniture. on their lawns they also protest inside the capitol even though congress wants to pretend that there's no crisis out there and re president obama wants to pretend that. the fact of the matter is it's just as bad it's not getting better deborah phillips told her daughters it was president obama they were here for they

think they're here for the white house that's all they've been talking about saying obama but. i guess that we're not trying to let them understand the struggle a struggle shared by everyone here in varying degrees we've been having struggles with paying our bills we had to take our son out of private school and i'm actually doing it for my dad he can't come here. family members passed away and that's why we got lost and. went over. started a last hope in an economy still in peril reporting in washington christine for his our party. and the prospects for struggling americans continues to look bleak as a federal report says more people face defaulting on their mortgages to make. sense that's because thousands of people are simply thrown off president obama's program which is meant to save homeowners from food. i was in atlanta with the naacp.

for closure effort to try to help people and all twenty five thousand people showed up there they've been showing up around the country precisely because the government programs are now working something like five hundred thousand people have been thrown off the government program because they don't meet various criteria as a consequence only a small relatively small percentage of those facing foreclosure are being helped at all and when we say helped means that their mortgages are modified either the interest level is reduced or the in some way the terms of payment are made more affordable for people but by and large the services so-called mortgage servicers who work with the banks are really controlling the process the government is not imposing rules here they're not really offering debt relief to people as they do to people in other countries so we have a situation where the foreclosure crisis could lead to

a million new foreclosures this year. britain's defense secretary has admitted that u.k. forces used depleted uranium i mean this new iraq war in two thousand and three for the wiring which actually uncovered more than forty sites across the country that had high radiation contamination dr liam fox told me that one point nine metric tons of grain used the u.n. told the patients the ammunition is widely condemned because of the potential long term effects such as. manatees british position. then says the iraqi people are suffering the consequences. we knew that in the first iraq war depleted uranium was used in shells and it certainly is very very likely to be used again and it uses a ballast because of its density. but unfortunately it's not as radioactive is it

might be. the gamma radiation has been reduced to a weapon of mass destruction but. of eternal destruction because the dust on the battlefield and gets into the water supply into the. can give children can. be called to pick the iraqis would be for a long time where the battles took place. big increases in childhood cancers and even birth defect and threatening to sue. the government for this awful contamination it's almost certainly taken place. but when they're on the dangers of depleted uranium weapons. with r.t. still ahead this hour putting life on ice. heads aid refrigerator

they'll point you to the door if you don't like it here you're free to leave it's very hard to find a job here in estonia therefore put up with working in slave like conditions dystonia has one of europe's worst pay gaps between men and women studies say women get paid seventeen percent less than men on average but in a stone year it's as much as thirty percent people think that we don't have the problem is that there is there where ness of the problem and. and the problem that people don't have their gender lenses how to say this when there is an equality going on. it goes much further than wages so-called segregation in the economy means women often remain in lower paid jobs like health care and education while men dominate the more lucrative private sector experts say that's not just infer that it's bad for business if this for example of concrete to

a woman feels she can i do the job or cannot take up the career that she would lie and she she has a talent for that and of course this is some human resource loss to their cause there also appears to be an ethnic dimension but as soon as large russian minority receiving low pay the nearest early in counterparts and ethnic russian women come out bottom of the list it's a structural issue in the labor market. that. russian speaking we mean the they are perhaps working in the sectors where the pages where the wages are especially low and this where of course increase. the pay gap even more whether it's over it's in the city or gender stereotypes that have been identified as one of the root causes of inequality in green latitudes of what to seen as the proper roles men and women should perform a passed down through generations the government says it's trying to weed them out

but it's going to take time. i would submit. the problems there is no point of. hiding the problems that your country faces it is a lengthy process and. and the certitude of people to not change overnight are all good though it's simply a case of double standards. i think if our prime minister was peed myself even if he didn't have to pay the utilities i don't think it would last him a week. children and parents are enjoying the summer sun behind me but for many estonian women it's a rare luxury and with gender stereotypes dying hard it could be years before stoning women catch up with their male counterparts tom barton r.t. to live in a store near you can see more of the stories we're covering online that r.t. dot com let's have a look at what else is there right now on our site a woman in georgia claims her cat has given birth to

a puppy and it numbs is tail played out what you want is the making of it all. and discover how russians are less prone to depression than smiley americans went to a new study. in . washington has apologized to moscow for failing to report it had detained a russian citizen in africa in may and blames it on someone pressing the wrong fax button constantine schenker pilot is accused of transporting four tons of cocaine worth up to six million dollars but moscow says he has in effect been kidnapped by the united states and it's a see a chicken there is following the story. basically we have moscow accusing washington d.c.

of having abducted a russian citizen a pilot going under the name constantini or shen co and feeling to inform russian officials about having done so and traditionally under international law when one states. arrests or captures or abductor kidnaps or whatever it may be a citizen of another country they're supposed to inform the country of citizenship that this has been done this is not the case however and we have washington d.c. accusing this man of having been part of an international cocaine trafficking ring and he was he's been accused of having been part of a scheme to transport as much as four tons of cocaine from south america to africa with the intention of leader transporting the drugs to europe and the united states right now this man is that jail in manhattan awaiting trial with four other people who were arrested along with him and we have been hearing from the prosecution that they're saying that the group wanted to acquire as much as four and a half million euros as part of this profit of this scheme meanwhile we have the

defense lawyer in russia saying that. it's not true that your shine co didn't even have a plane that was good enough to fly overseas and the defense lawyer of his family has been seeing that he has never actually been to south america let alone traffic drugs from there but for all of the details of the missteps carried out for u.s. officials now let's go to the reports of our correspondent. he was abducted and covertly transferred to the united states from africa he was not an american or liberian citizen he was a russian citizen and was effectively missing for over a month his home country russia did not know about his abduction and rendition to the u.s. and the fact that the americans did not tell the russians until now is about steering controversy we have. apologized to russia the u.s. says sorry and insists everything minus faxing the memo to the wrong embassy was within the rules and regulations of an international transfer but that is not how

the russian government is interpreted ness we pressed the wrong button on the fax machine. to be brutally for a reset button that. the russian foreign ministry called the incident a kidnapping of a russian national from a third country and because the us did not follow the formalities of international rendition law which requires all parties involved in the secret transfer to know about it prior to the president leaving the third country the russians have labeled it as a sign of open lawlessness so were we involved and sharing information with liberia yes indeed word was were there particular u.s. participation i'm not aware of that. but it's you it's hard to say what the true reasons are for such behavior of the american side especially considering the fact that here at the consulate you don't have the official information from our american colleagues on the matter in question it's

a case very reminiscent of victor boot and alleged arms dealer who was apprehended in thailand with the knowledge of the russian government the difference the u.s. struggle to extradite due to the u.s. for prosecution and conviction the thai authorities were cautious of the evidence from the u.s. and deny the transfer in the case the u.s. skipped the legal procedures and rendered him without his home country knowing. about it so who's that if the u.s. doesn't follow its own laws in terms of how alleged suspects are transferred from one country to another. i mean the rule book is no longer valid it's an incident that could spell disaster for the u.s. especially as the details of how your schenkel was transferred are leaking out and whether the u.s. violated its own laws. r t washington d.c. . and investigative journalist contributor wayne madsen thinks the idea that

someone simply pressed the wrong fax machine buttons a poor excuse i think this is part of the carry over from the bush cheney administration where the u.s. basically thumbs its nose at international law and we've seen it time and time again it seems like the reset button doesn't work at the state department fax machines but the idea that there's a bank of buttons that they push it i guess if they push the next one they would have gone to rule rwanda which is next in the alphabetical list so that sounds like a very strange story and i don't think anyone would buy that why didn't they contact the russian embassy or the russian government itself why wasn't justice department to the ministry of justice in moscow you know direct talks between. take a look now at some other news stories from around the world at least twenty three bodies have been found buried in northern mexico what's believed to be a mass grave used by drug gangs to dispose of the victims security forces say an
