the u.n. and international building projects ordinary goods they say are still not getting in our goods have already been detained in israel for three years but the fines that we've paid already equaled the costs of the goods so even if we receive the goods back now we can sell them they're spoiled and those goods that are getting in . they're too expensive for most people here. the goods that we receive are not of a high quality but we have to buy them because we don't have an alternative. cars have also become a luxury two thousand dollars for an engine while just two hundred dollars for a rather simplistic alternative what can we do there's no fuel for vehicles spare parts inevitably result that it's kind of transportation to donkeys this is one of the largest cattle markets in gaza and as the economy here plummets it too is struggling to survive. we have no animals and no barley today and even when we have

2:25 am
across the atlantic new york celebrations always around the slow descent of a six ton crystal ball with thirty thousand lights in earlier in moscow at least half a million people took to the streets to watch fireworks and also listen to president with their this new year address. now something else which brings the world together but rarely gets the champagne corks popping is globalization all i can satisfy our hunger for cheap goods it means some communities see thousands of jobs shipped abroad where talk show host laurie healthiness asked people in new york if making the world smaller is really better. society is becoming more and more globalized is that a positive development or is it the beginning of the end this week let's talk about that i think it's really important that we grow together and that your superior go
2:26 am
to each other because we feel. you have europe where you want to be taken care of here as well and on the same you do for us what do you think the effects of globalization are on our children oh i think it's a good thing i'm actually in education so i see it every day but. exposes our kids to different cultures and they're more understanding i think more tolerant just overall it helps more people to throughout the world so in some other places that may not necessarily have the opportunities that we have it presents them some of the opportunities that we have so that's a positive pressure as if but the negative it's taking things away from here you're too many things are going to. ok yeah sure is that you can control where the things are going to go and there's you have to compete with a lot more people that's right you know global economy could be good. carbon footprints and all there has been. good at the present where your stance is i don't think it's a good thing i think in theory it should be good but i think in reality i don't
2:27 am
think it is because i feel like the countries that need needs are going to join the globalization movement they're just being exploited for cheap labor. so it's not like we're all becoming one happy global it's we're taking advantage of others. i would say by recent events it's ridiculous that people can post anything they want out there or not have not get repercussions from it but i guess they've got to figure out a way to control that too don't they who are the vague i don't know how you met them no i don't know them either but you trust them i don't trust anyone i'm in new york i live in a paranoid world no matter what your feelings toward globalization might be the bottom line is that it doesn't look like the trend is going to end anytime soon. now are all from a siberian expedition as we take in more of russia close. where
