over a new era of racial hatred. also a growing number of russians are choosing cheap copies of luxury brands but psychologists caution buying fakes can lead to living a fake wife. this is already coming to live from moscow a marina joshie welcome to the program four hundred children of immigrant workers are to be deported from israel in a drive by the government to preserve what they call the jewish character of the state despite being born in israel and speaking hebrew they say they are not treated as citizens of the country and as reports the situation is many people questioning what it means to be israeli. he's five and a half thousand miles away from most of his family living in a country where his mother is unemployed and frightened and now they're about to be
12:03 am
deported but this is the only world a four year old john michael knows born in israel he speaks hebrew his friends are his raby and he understands precious little about the place he's about to be sent to the very place his mother came from the philippines she asks us not to name her killer his beak with the language he knows their food their friends i asked him one time j.m. you like to go to filkins. philippines. full. we're still friends of course he did you don't know that the place in my contract where my about my yes and he said ok i'll go to field beans with my friends. in explained to him. it was a journey that started with so much hope john michael's mom like forty thousand other filipinos was lured with a dream of work and
12:04 am
a new life in the promised land but soon after she became pregnant she was fired and her visa canceled for months now israelis have been torn over what to do about the future of hundreds of children who like john michael are born and bred in israel but who not considered israeli citizens most of the children's parents arrived in israel in the early ninety's they were placed cheap palestinian labor that was becoming harder for israelis to access curfews and roadblocks have made it difficult for palestinians to get permits to work in israel which is why today as many as half a million foreign workers live in israel earning much more than they would back home but the payoff is the uncertainty that now clouds they trailed ins future the interior ministry says it has to the fourth is children because they are already so many illegals in this country it says they threaten the jewish character of the state but it's a controversial decision that has many asking why truth and should have to pay the price for the government's lack of
12:05 am
a clear policy. and the anger of many has spilled over onto the streets after months of thinking it over the israeli government now says it will deport four hundred foreign children and their families who do not match strict criteria that would have allowed them to stay in israel these include living in israel for five years being part of the school system and having parents with valid work permits. the holiday is over they make ten times more money here than they do in other countries like romania for example enough with this a park or see any of these children rise up and cry stop talking rubbish they will return to their families that's where they need to be. the protesters say it's by expelling children that the very character of the jewish state is threatened for me personally it's nine days children working with them already for three years seen them and understanding that they're not only israeli best israeli because they love this country just want to contribute and be
12:06 am
a part of us so i really can't understand how anyone the treaty knows them can stand aside and let them be deported from their homeland these very very important that did democratically product reason only probably will be made its voice very loud and very clear and bright this. is to do it to make the right decision it's really nor says that every jew around the world has the right israeli citizenship but for john michael who sees radian every since of the wood just not his faith that citizenship is a distant reality he's one of the four hundred children threatened with deportation . tel aviv. i mean one of the world's most pressing problems immigration is the source of not only heated political debates but human tragedies all over the world . government is divided over the issue there are shocking reports that some homeless immigrants in britain have resorted to eating rats simply to survive.
12:07 am
as the u.s. declares an official end to its combat mission in iraq many are asking if the war is really over around fifty thousand troops remain in the country in a supporting role and to local forces take complete control a former cia officer jack rice says the u.s. government and the pal god are misleading the american public by glossing over the true situation in iraq. the obama administration and even the pentagon to some degree as well it's basically look at the political side of this they can't continue this indefinitely they can't and so they've looked at what the american people want and everybody wants this war could be done in the united states the problem is is it is it is not done i mean a lot of the problems that we faced a lot of the problems you walkies themselves faced in the past they're still there i mean a schism that you're finding within the country still exist the problems that within their legislature still exist the violence still exists just because it's under the surface doesn't mean it's disappeared it's just that we desperately want it to
12:08 am
disappear so we really believe showing up and say well mission accomplished unfortunately a lot of the things that we thought were going to be major ships in the obama administration simply turned out to be a little bit more of the same specifically i recall the argument of transparency of this war is both or is that how we deal with the war on terror and i was in the room in the white house in the situation room as they were talking about this and what they talked about at the time i was that there was going to be more transparency and then his people came out and said well we've decided to essentially continue with the bush administration almost same policy so the more changes the more it stays the same the british coalition government is divided over plans to place a cap on the number of immigrants and touring the country some politicians say the decision will damage the international image of the u.k. and harm the country's economy while they debate the future of the immigration system and many of those directly affected are struggling to survive on the streets

. in london it said you're never more than two meters away from of wrapped their dirty disease infested often poisoned but according to charities homeless migrants from eastern europe have become so desperate that some of have no choice but to eat them eastern european migrants. leaving on streets in squalor in extreme life situations is a consequence of the transition period in european union so basically for the first year of their stay in the war. and they have no rights whatsoever if for example someone becomes addicted to alcohol or something they lose their job and end up on streets not. this of the you know detox no accommodation for homeless eastern europeans the problems so serious that polish charities like barca work in conjunction with local authorities to get eastern european migrants
12:10 am
off the streets and encourage them to go home if they fall and on hard times recent figures show a quarter of london's four thousand homeless are from central and eastern europe because of their lifestyle many have serious alcohol problems with reports of some drinking alcoholic handwash stolen from hospitals for people are known to have died often it only takes a relatively minor life event to pull the rug from under their feet. instead of going home david felt he was better off squatting in london and that's true of latvian martins too he ended up sleeping on a park bench and scavenging for food from bins off to several job losses now scorching and hoping to find work he's got a message for anyone considering coming to the u.k.
12:11 am
to seek their fortune. to. find who you're going to work what you're going to do no one is waiting for you here and just as a marine dying from the sky many homeless eastern europeans day because tomorrow might be the day they find work and a better life that and the feeling that going home would be an unbearable admission of failure the major problem that faces migrants from eastern europe is the lack of a safety net what may seem like relatively minor misfortunes can easily leave them on the streets in mid two thousand and eleven. the e.u. will enforce regulations that mean migrants will be able to claim housing and unemployment benefits after just three months in the u.k. but if you are forced to survive by eating maybe three months is still very you know the time you were at it. existing immigrants in the u.k. manger more rides for next year the number of new image migrants coming into the

country could be kept one of the founders of the u.k. in a palace party gerrard barden believes uncontrolled entry only harms britain. immigration into our country has been out of control for a very long time now purely on the numbers basis we are one of the most about the most densely populated country in europe it is absolutely absurd to have effectively unlimited and uncontrolled immigration into this country anyway from within the european union where we can't stop people coming even wanted to and we don't really control it from outside either so yes you have to have very strict controls the time has come to cite this we need an end to mass immigration we need controlled immigration on a very limited level and only where it benefits britain its people and its economy all of this increased immigrant immigration and population growth which is entirely due to immigration actual facts and burst to immigrants we see it's simply unsustainable on the basis of the amount of land we've got to live in our public

over a new wave of racial hatred lauren lyster is in new york for us. the united states has always been a country of immigrants but they're not always welcome we've seen mexicans targeted in the western state of arizona which passed a tough law targeting undocumented immigrants there's many many people that come to this country and they go through the proper channels to do the proper thing and and the people that don't do that they're breaking the law despite a backlash. now we're seeing more signs this sentiment is making ripples across the country far from the mexican border in one area of new york city. there has been a string of a dozen attacks on hispanic residents in recent months the victims like were helio number nine infidel you can literally find them simply walking through the neighborhood and the suspects unfortunately most of these attacks most recently in
12:16 am
the acts against him which according to these victims they were targeted by teens while minding their own business like it was right here in the back of my head. and then they hit my arm which entry point for no other reason than being mexican they were appears to be a divide between the minorities sharing this poor area of new york despite this when you go through these statistics you want education and trying to bring at the bottom the blacks and hispanics meet let me show you one common then we don't have a problem but here the rift appears to be growing with the influx of hispanic immigrants city blocks that used to be vacant are now flourishing appearing to leave behind the she lot of michigan working you know let's work here this is the main thoroughfare of this neighborhood it's where many of the mexican shops and markets like this one have popped up it's also where many of the anti mexican attacks have occurred now the police presence across the street as

12:20 am
a fifteen billion dollars on fakes last year and growth has risen from just about five percent in two thousand and eight to fifteen percent in two thousand and nine this is the question there are two reasons why people buy fakes on purpose first is the mentality of having style and status the label is important second there is a large gap between luxury and cheap products so there is not my choice in between here so it seems fake products fill that gap the owner of this shop selling copies of luxury goods has jumped on the opportunity and he swears by the quality of his merchandise but. there are good and bad fakes their factories in china that made the real thing in the ninety's and today he was the same materials to make copies they are exactly the same you don't have to pay a lot of money just for the stamp of the brand name so what's in a brand name different people have different opinions but whatever the reason behind the super pattern is a fake luxury products the fact of the matter is the russian market is
