number of trucks clothes and shoes coming into gaza and this causes problems with coordination in gaza. last month twenty two international organizations issued a report claiming the easing of the blockade has helped bring in materials only for 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 equal the costs of the goods so even if we receive the goods back now we can't sell them they're spoiled and those goods that are getting in there are 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 well just two hundred dollars for a rather simplistic alternative that what can we do you know fuel for vehicles spare parts inevitably result that it's kind of transportation to donkeys this is

it seems americans can stop spending despite the country's massive financial problems and the painful lessons of the financial crisis left to rely on their credit cards shopaholics come to fight the urge to find a new style or a good bargain but there are some of you are putting up a very loud fight against around and consumerism even if the theater could have met one of. true. you should. stop. her. but styles and new must have items of the fashion world changes

fast as the seasons but one thing that never goes out of style in the us is shopping america is the birthplace of modern consumerism nowhere else in the world do people buy more than here with officially more shopping malls in the us than high schools if i didn't spend enough money on sunglasses i could probably save for college and things like bad very few actually admit to an addiction is a dora does exactly what. the obvious way to twenty five things we do we need for a new dose of jackets sweaters and skirts she considers herself a shopaholic how many pairs of shoes do you have. so hundreds be urged to possess has taken over men to statistics age men and women compulsively shop equally in the us nowadays i'm actually excited about expensive runs during the last couple of

years i've spent i think of a one hundred thousand dollars on clothes while these numbers are simply unimaginable for millions of americans only a few are putting up a very loud fight against consumerism. reverend billy says a credit card exorcism on the entire nation is what can cure america fifteen million americans are addicted to shopping but many more americans than fifteen million shop too much stuff shaping his mean life mission is to chase away. shopping devil by putting an act in churches and shopping malls around the country the credit crunch the purpose of the exaggerations is to make americans see their flaws yes. the splash took. too much money the consumer a consumer. it's a church but controls us it's a fundamentalist church like the roman catholic church in the fourteen hundreds

these desperate times normally accept my credit card limit every mom could be calling for desperate measures like spells and exorcisms the things that the letter of the week does with our appeal to you since more often than not in the us legally the majority of people have too much month left at the end of the money the average american is said to generate over fifty tons of garbage by the time they are a senior with millions buzzing around new york stores this holiday season it's hard to tell who is doing it responsibly and who is completely out of control because of shopping not considered a mental disorder there are dozens of there are people and clinics in the big apple for those who are willing to admit they have a problem an indication of no lessons learned even after the big crash of a recession once they see true art see new york. the start of the new year is a great time for wishful thinking and with unemployment high in the u.s. hopes for better days are high as well many blame because of his problems on

globalization as american jobs are outsourced abroad and web talk show host lloyd oftenest has been finding out what people in new york think about the trend. 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 very important that we grow together and that we also care about each other because we are for review for europe where we want to be taken care of here as well and understand we do for you as well 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 asia. ok yes for sure is that you can't 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 is beer. to get it depends on where your chances 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 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 got repercussions from it but i guess they've got to figure out a way to control that don't they who are the very i don't know have 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 it doesn't look like the trend is going to end anytime soon. a look now at some of the stories making headlines around the globe thousands of egyptians took to the streets in protest of the deadly new year's day bombing at least twenty one question worshipers were killed and seven to hurt in the suicide attack outside a church in alexandria demonstrators accuse the government of failing to protect the country's really just minority that timekeeping worst against egyptian christians in a decade. about two hundred thousand australians are in the midst of a flood that's been described as reaching biblical proportions the flood has so far claimed over one one victim a woman whose car was washed off the road while another man remains missing though heavy rains have stopped rivers are still searching to new heights bringing water

ten area larger than france and germany combined if it's even queensland state is expected to reach a level of nearly ten meters by wednesday. in pakistan the ruling coalition has lost its second largest party after the united national movement joined the opposition party also with two minutes from the continent after the government's decision to raise fuel prices although the prime minister denies the government was in any danger part of this engine could result in a vote of no confidence that the opposition must as enough support. right now buckle up because next we are all on a siberian expedition as we take a closer look at russia's most distant regions are now closer to. and this time i would travel to the southwestern almost creature in an area that is

fast becoming the sporting capital of siberia locals like to say that growing up in the famed tundra i did see a real backbone and judging by the way germans olympic contributions and their professional i thought it was certainly truth in that on face time bomb exposed the secret service out there and strongman. i and almost goes wild the local hockey team album god puts another goal in the net they may look like other teams from around russia or in the world but they know they're special i guess they're. so you're still missing my list since we were little we've practiced outside in the cold weather so we use the conditions it's room i know america so we're the toughest players. and it's not just seasoned players enthusiasm for the test of courage and strength comes young. and. i like the way they play hockey the pull of the strikes and the opportunity to become

a still life. ice hockey isn't the only had two million and dev attracting attention here how about the why don't no turning a minibus. of those boys even say bierria in winter with sleeper it's pretty hard to. pulling minibuses isn't the only way this is why you have to show their strength they can also find many other ways to flex some siberian muscle. he was in a gym the team lifts bends and pulls anything they can lay their hands on for competitions across russia they also put on public shows to entertain the crowds but earn some extra money for your day in the. way out it's about heaving that little bit more. moan that i had to separate the sim it's different i just like it that's all i like wrestling against these pieces of equipment i like to achieve high results with. the team only formed a few years ago so they haven't won

a major titles yet but again the siberian spirit infuses them and they have a strong sense of its special qualities are sure that out there what could possibly come to us and historically people from siberia have been very strong and made great soldiers i think they greatly contributed to our victory in world war two conditions here make people learn how to survive because he thinks they might strong indeed in fact you could hardly describe these lot as being in survival mode . if it looks lift a bold move all these guys will try and muscle it around me to tire moving. me some giant weights lifting. or perhaps even me. it's not a problem for the men with the muscles.
