contributors says washington isn't prepared to admit the shortcomings of its campaign. if anybody was impressed by a burka bomb a speech regarding the tempo and scale off u.s. forces was drawn from afghanistan it was afghan president hamid karzai only the one side there as good leader was a happy camper regarding american president announcement and all the other side there was so much air for him and shit regarding very action. from the u.s. military and from vox populi as far as the military effort is concerned it was mostly limited only to armchair commandos and the u.s. secretary of defense robert gates in fact to the admiral michael mullen opinion represents the bunker mentality and conventional wisdom all conventional group

think the only part of the u.s. military and intelligence committee who really have the grasp all of this situation less likely to step up to the t.v. cameras and to spill their guts that after ten years all for us uphill battle in afghanistan it turns out that ninety percent of the failure of a conventional force is due to conventional thinking. and eleven minutes past the hour now here in moscow at least forty six people have been injured eleven seriously by a gas explosion at a wedding in russia's republic of north south and six children are reportedly among the victims in the city of a lot of costs the injured were taken to hospital many suffering a severe burns it's not yet clear what caused the blast with the much of the firefighters and police still working at the scene. well coming up here in the twenty first century find out why it was raining european and american in 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 party's policy found that fears over security mean 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 have been expelled and most of her family killed but the irony is she now wants a german passport. holder get money grab the german 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 us citizenship and 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 shelter for the jewish people and now europe becomes the shelter of the jew sleeping is. this is my place the american heart of tel aviv here you'll hear more english than hebrew and you'll be forgiven for thinking that you're in the us and not in the promised land most israelis here have a second passport many of them grew up abroad or have a parent who came from another country i have canadian israeli and i would never give them a canadian and i probably would give up my israeli the american i wouldn't give up because i have family there and i want to be out to go there any time british passport or european passport is doorway to opportunities eight years ago the bar was blown up by a suicide bomber three people were killed and fifty injured the bar didn't close down but some say the rush for new passports heated up in there because of the suicide bombings and there was a feeling of insecurity so yes there was an increase both in immigration and in the demand 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 this meeting israeli journalist gideon levy that people are tired of living in a war zone the israeli leadership basing its leadership on creating all the. frightening comparing against anything and the payoff is a population that feels unsafe with one eye on europe. than the sun 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 the drop in world war two. the one who are favored were the ones who got the wide berth for their lashon is that if you're going to get. that can help you to move

out of danger zone then you do it every year more jews leave israel for europe in this case than the other way around and one in five or so if you choose 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 pointlessly r.t. television. good news stories for the us economy are few and far between with the massive job cuts layoffs and the growing national debt however some are staying optimistic saying things could be even worse as our own resident in new york found out. 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 facts of the bad economy

need a better job of this economy is not getting me a better job yeah exactly try to go to college and i can't because car my car gas is all expensive at school so expensive so it's on the vicious cycle is really bad but i'm happy because brazil is growing like for me is 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 perk i would say that's the number 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 then i guess we have bigger problems to worry about the economy is bad and you had to cut back or we had to cut back even more so we could take cruises to come to new york this. crucial british 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 have a comeback on a lot of other things do you think that we've seen the bottom of this crisis or are we headed for bread lines and even worse things i don't think we've seen the bottom 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 their 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 give up the comfort of their homes and the company of family and friends to work in extreme conditions of the earth. investigates the price people have to pay to fulfill 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. thirty thirty thirty but not. so it was the focus rolling around for a bit we had to put them. in that and then in this in between as well so we were rolling around pretty violently trying to make very good rudder. as your ability the crew of this ship was able to pull through the tampa stand even work with nearby stations to repair their damaged vessel but they were lucky operating in such a remote environment means replacement parts aren't always available and the workers

here have to make do with what they can it is pretty hard to get here good equipment to get here sophisticated equipment so why don't want challengers to try to make your big science was a very small amount of equipment because of the hearts and three weather conditions and arthur is considered one of the most dangerous environments on the planet and because of this operating down here logistically it can be more than a convenience it can be downright deadly during the same storm the crew from that little guy 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 in my career in such moments i start to sing that good just once us to try is out here in with the wind but in antarctica time is a valuable commodity and work crews have limited time to prepare the base for winter when the after the accident happened we didn't even have time to make a start which 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 air live. 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 dwell on the difficulties when the key thing is to tackle all problems as soon as possible or the opportunity will be lost when there is no immediate response would be cautions and avoid actions that may get one of us hurt for example when the airplane engine failed we are doing anything that could have gotten any of us hurt in any way so we don't have to airlift anybody else out of here we have avoided any risks until another airplane arrives with one thing in
