a right cause they have quite ambitious goals as well which are not only to get into the state duma as the next election but also to become the second most powerful political force in the country right there next to the united russia party and even though a lot of political career is just starting he's already aiming for the senior levels for russia's political elite. i'm not the kind of person who tends to dream or plunges into illusions where particular goals to get into russia's lower house of parliament with the maximum number of votes what i also understand is that i would be a good prime minister if the party successful i would fight for this position the worlds. well there you go to. certainly made a name for himself as a successful businessman but tell us how is he actually planning to make his party successful in russia. well even though the party is talking about meeting

change and the impact improvements through their modernization of himself has asked the members of the right cause already not to refer to themselves as the opposition explaining that the current leader of the term opposition is critically understood by millions of russians who according to crawford also see the current opposition in russia as this organized more gentle force on capable of making any changes the changes that paul thought of any sporty are talking about and they are already giving concrete ideas of continuing the modernization of russia and making a liberal improvements perhaps even returning the elections of governors the mirrors of at least moscow and st petersburg perhaps even the elections of judges and police chiefs helplessness and politics are not only interest he's got a few expensive hobbies as well that one of them told you about that. surely is why

man lead on me personally is that he really does know what he is talking about and that this is for him is yet another old well thought out your we calculated project and i personally think that process has all the reasons to believe that the right cause a party really doesn't stand a chance. these are going to snow in central moscow. on the way here on our financial woes grip europe we take to the streets of new york to find out if people there feel they're heading down the same road. freezes work in bad spain is looking feel like we're on the right but i think we have to think that on the global level but i think we reach country have to lower the their expectations it was pretty bad during the great depression that is a bottom that we can compare it to i know it will get that bad but i don't think we're there yet.

tempo and scale of u.s. forces withdraw from afghanistan it was afghan president hamid karzai on the one side the afghan leader was a happy camper regarding the american president announcement and on the other side there was so much effort hanchen regarding their we action. from the u.s. military and from vox pluckily as far as the military effort here is concerned it was mostly limited only to armchair commandos and the u.s. secretary of defense robert gates in fact to the editorial michael mullen opinion represents the bunker mentality and conventional wisdom all conventional group think that the only part of the us military and intelligence community who are real a hell of a grasp of the situation less likely to step up to the t.v.

cameras and to spill their guts that after ten years all of us uphill battle in afghanistan it turns out this ninety percent of the failure can still be conventional forces due to conventional thinking. eleven minutes past the hour now here in moscow at least forty six people have been injured seriously by a gas explosion at a wedding in russia's republic of north a seventy six children are reportedly among the victims in the city of logic half castes the injured were taken to hospital many suffering a severe burns it's not yet clear what caused the blast with emergency firefighters and police still working at the scene. well coming up here on r.t. twenty first century exodus find out well since it was raided by the european and american in the hope of leaving the promised one. person we discover what the unpredictable sound hole has in store for those brave enough to try and whether.

same sex marriage illegal i bet you massive celebrations across the state with gay rights activists saying the passage of the bill was a victory for their movement new york is the sixth and most populous american state to approve of gay marriage is the law will take effect in some thirty years. in syria twenty people including two children were killed when a security forces reportedly opened fire on demonstrators without warning and new wave of protests thousands took to the streets of several cities to call on president bashar al assad to step down after four decades his family has ruled in the capital damascus meantime protesters also came under fire because they blocked roads leading to the second center of a three month long crackdown is reportedly left for three hundred people. but we'll have more on the situation in syria you can find more details on that online just go to our web site that's all it dot com i watch one interview with an independent

journalist who says e.u. sanctions will not bring any resolution to the crisis in syria and. also online for you those are no a fairytale ending for a real life cinderella a russian girl turned global super model and the tally of forty one splits from her royal husband. vandersloot a jazz legend saxophonist dave cost of this is must go and talk to our series about his passion for music what about interview with him on our website on does he taught college. just on a quarter past the hour here in the russian capital israel was created as the promised land to provide a home for all jews of the world but tens of thousands of fled the country over the past few years and more are lining up to leave out in support of founded fears over

security means many are seeking a new safer life in europe or the united states rachel shites has no reason to like germany she was born there before the second world war and within six years had been expelled and most of her family killed but i really is she now wants a german passport. or money another join citizenship to help my children and grandchildren which might be shocking if it wasn't so common in israel today in the last decade some fifty thousand israelis have applied for european citizenship a quarter of a million already have a second passport it's unlikely that any other country in the world has such a large percentage of new immigrants preparing to leave it's really. because he is or was a stubborn to become a shill for the truth and now europe becomes the show but we do sleep it's him this is my face the making heart of tel aviv here you'll hear more english than

hebrew and you'll be forgiven for thinking if you're in the us and not on the promise land most israelis here have a second passport many of them grew up abroad i have a parent who came from another country. and i would never give them a canadian and i probably would give up my israeli and american i wouldn't give up because i have family there and i want to go to go there any time british passport or european password is doorway to opportunity eight years ago the bar was blown up by suicide bombers three people were killed and fifty injured the bar didn't close down that some say the rush for new passports heated up in there because of the bombings when there was a feeling of insecurity so yes there was an increase both in immigration and in command for passports and that demand has only grown in the last five years israel has been in two wars and many fear another is not far off and the government's policy of settlement expansion has only isolated the country internationally so

it's no surprise is eating israeli journalist gideon levy that people are tired of living in a war zone the israeli leadership basing its leadership on creating all the hard. frightening complaints against anything and the payoff is a population that feels unsafe with one eye on europe no less than a son has processed nearly five thousand applications for a second passport in the last ten years that works out at about forty passports a month and he's only one lawyer working in the field the fate of untruth in world war. the one who were were the one who got the i'd. call. that if you're going to go up. and help your move out of danger zone then you do it every year more jews leave israel for europe in this case then the other way around one in five soviet jews has already returned home and with no

israeli palestinian peace talks on the horizon and growing israeli insecurity about the arab demonstrations on the doorstep this so-called insurance passport is unlikely to lose popularity any time soon princely r.t. television. good news stories for the us economy are few and far between with the massive job cuts and layoffs and the growing national debt however some are staying optimistic saying things could be even worse because our own resident new york valgerd. all the latest data indicates the global economy is going limp are you personally affected this week let's talk about that have you felt the effects of the bad economy or better job this economy's not better job yes i try to go to college and i can't because car my car gas is all expensive at school so

expensive. it's really bad but i'm happy because brazil is growing like armies good so is that kind of the way it goes when when some countries are hurting other countries can prosper more yeah greece is looking bad spain is looking bad but i feel like we're on the right. so they're just exaggerated not in greece and spain no no i feel like the reports from the u.s. are i'm actually in the military so i do not feel it at all that's the only for them one perk my job i've been getting steady paychecks for five years yet i can't see that the american military is going to go out of it if they do any time soon and i guess we have bigger problems to worry about the economy is bad and you had to cut back on things for we had to come back even more so we could take cruises you come to new york this. crucial first time in new york city today so that doesn't sound like you're hurting that it sounds like you're doing ok we haven't come back a lot of things you think that we've seen the bottom of this crisis or are we

headed for bread lines and even worse things that we've seen the bottom about what is the bottom look like. well it was pretty bad during the great depression that is a bottom that we can compare it to i don't know if we'll get that bad but i don't think we're there yet so do you think we can fix it i'm a global level or do you think it's time countries started looking at themselves first i think we have to fix it on the global level but i think we reach country have to lower the their expectations of. the living standard i think we all have to go down whether or not you've been personally attacked the bottom line is the global economy apparently continues to fall flat. now at twenty minutes past the hour here in the russian capital devoted scientists to keep up the comfort of their homes and the company of family and friends to work in extreme conditions off the earth. the price people have to pay so you feel

their passion for new discoveries. antarctic storms are known to be fierce sometimes forcing those who have to endure them to take safe harbor and it was pretty bad it was that and. thirty to thirty but. so it was rolling around for a bit he had to put them. in their beds and they can as in between us. so we're crawling around are you guy only trying to mayberry care to get better we can get us here with the crew of this ship was able to pull through the temple stand even work with nearby stations to repair their damaged vessel but they were lucky operating in such a remote environment means that replacement parts aren't always available and the workers here have to make do with what they can and it's pretty hard to get here the equipment to get here sophisticated equipment so one one challenges to

try to make your big science was a very small amount of equipment because of the hearts and inferior. and parker is considered one of the most dangerous environments on the planet and because of that's operating down here. or going to. it can be downright deadly during the same storm the crew from that would go on t.v.'s base lost one of their team when a jeep rolled down an embankment into a frigid antarctic lake. that was the most difficult experience of my career in such moments i start to think that god just wants us to try is out here with the wind but in antarctica time is a valuable commodity and work crews have limited time to prepare the base for winter after the accident happens we didn't even have time to make a start was the moment required. to express compassion we had to go on with our work which we finished that's about four am the next day the incident sparked an outpouring of international support from the surrounding bases but in

a twist all too appropriate for the harsh realities of working in antarctica the chilean air force plane that was to airlift. the body back to south america suffered an explosion in the left engine as it was taking off the pilots on board of hurting another fatal tragedy by a matter of seconds still the southern continent doesn't provide the opportunity to do well on the difficulties we're not going to run the key thing is all problems as soon as possible or the opportunity will be lost when there is no immediate response because shien's and avoid actions that may get one of those hurt for example when the airplane engine failed we have already doing anything that could have gotten any of us hurt in any way so we don't have the airlift anybody else here we have void any risk until another airplane arrives in the wind going into a system derived from unfortunate necessity which keeps those living and working in the face of danger and safe is possible in antarctica shan thomas. i know
