everyone is at least promised an answer the where in adjustable rate mortgage rates and the rates just keep going up and there's this and believable now targets people with nowhere else to turn my more dish basically is out of reach song by actually. choosing whether to keep or pay more ditch. also target c.e.o.'s 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 he's solved it 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 even with paying our bills

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 the 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. well still to come here an artsy view the world through inspiration explores mysterious projects that fit perfectly into the landscape and join us for the annual art festival in just a human. american and british forces used to

today the sun is shining on olga it's a break from her hard working life learning money to raise her son but as a single mom she has to sweat it out to the factory just to bring in a me get paid. just to put it to grads it's thirty three degrees celsius in their work shop but our employees don't care if you try to stand up for your rights 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 and distilling it there for put up with working in slave labor 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 to see when there is an inequality 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 for example a concrete to a woman feels that she cannot to their 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 connolly it also appears to be an ethnic dimension but this journey is large russian minority receiving low paid and there is still only encounter. parts of ethnic russian women come out bottom of the list it's a structural issue in the labor market. their. 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. their the pay gap even more

whether it's over at the city or gender stereotypes that have been identified as one of the root causes of inequality in green latitudes of what to see as the proper roles mon women should perform 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. but there was this in the national i think it for a 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 stony. it is now a quarter past the hour here in the russian capital. and an international landscape design festival is taking place for the fifth time here in central russia the event brings together designers on architects from around the world to exchange ideas and inspire each other to even greater achievements we can all cross live to our correspondents or both who is in the region for us and talk to me what's the what's caught your eye at this festival this year. but this says it's a very interesting installations this is of course the landscape projects festival and it brings together this an architect from all over russia he put together this very interesting t.j. event there you can probably see one of the installations behind me here everything here is made from natural materials say we've seen a lot of these installations made of wood and stone and hey so suddenly lots to see

on using these natural resources that's the whole point venice where everyone's coming along to bring in their camp. getting involved and just enjoying the out there are places that are here. to go about so you can go and start constructing your very own piece of amazing art sara for the reporting from central russia at the art festival thanks. well they may be the stuff of horror movies bird returning from the dead is also the hope of a few rather rich people a clinic in russia offers clients the chance to put their brains and bodies on ice until science advances enough to let them outsmart the grim reaper artie's visited what is the only facility of its kind outside the us. sylvester stallone put death on ice in the science fiction film demolition man freezing his body to be awakened in the future. and more than

a decade later must go by that is laughable is it simply to have his immortality on earth in his mind heaven can wait my parents had a mixed reaction to this my mom thinks it's a stupid waste of money most of my friends support me in this decision because they are also pro cry on it. he's paying thirty thousand dollars to have his body stored after he dies at the cruise clinic in moscow which freezes humans in the hopes of future thirty taishan it's the only facility of its kind outside of the us and so far it can explain it can't stand for and the head of aid refrigerating gas are stored in this liquid nitrogen field of that cracker with says it can't make any promises but this might just be a way to get a tape to run like if science catches up with imagination they'll be transferred to new bodies the cost of a simple brain freeze is ten thousand dollars even if we can't reverse this is

better than a mission right now if we can preserve the structure of the information about the person then we can still put pressure revive him her and. future while some in the scientific community support investing in cryogenics they believe major advances in the field are a long way off controlling the fine process is a major challenge but nothing compared to bring someone back to light. the problem at hand is resuscitation it's biological death and irreversible derangement only. but if the future can bring this lands the rest of the icebox back to life what does he hope to do you hear that my immediate goal is to fly somewhere to a star closest to us. for vengeance law and investment and what seems impossible today may be worthwhile and many tomorrows stacy did r.t. . ok let's check out some other news now making headlines all around the world north korea has threatened a nuclear response to a joint u.s.
