israel was created as the promised land to provide a home for all the jews of the world but tens of thousands of flow become for the past few years and more are lining up to leave. but fears over security mean many are seeking a new safer life in europe or the us rachel shites has no reason to like germany she was born there before the second world war within six years have been expelled and most of her family killed the guy really is she now wants a german passport. holder get money i want 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 thirty thousand israelis have applied for us citizenship and a quarter of a million already have a second passport of sunlight he that any other country in the world has such a large percentage of new immigrants preparing to leave. the story. because he was a stubborn to become a shelter you know europe becomes

12:19 pm
in this case then the other way around one in five of 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 the so-called insurance passport is unlikely to lose popularity any time soon points leader r.t. television. good news stories for the u.s. economy are few and far between with mass job cuts layoffs and a growing national debt however some are staying optimistic saying things could be even worse as our own resident in new york has been finding 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 impact of the bad economy or better job this economy's not give me
12:20 pm
a 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 so it's money vicious cycle is really bad but i'm happy because brazil is growing like for me it's good so is that kind of the way goes when when some countries are hurting other countries can prosper more yeah greece is looking bad spain is looking bad i feel like we're on the right. so they're just exaggerated not in greece and spain now i feel like reports in the u.s. are i'm actually in the military so i do not feel that at all that's the only perk i would say that's that i'm one perk my job steady paycheck 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. back so we had to come back even more so we could take cruises you come to new york this. crucial
