israel was created as the promised land to provide a home for all the jews of the world but tens of thousands have fled the country over the past few years a more alarming up to leave artie's paula slayer found that fears over security mean that many seeking and you safer life in europe or the us rachel shites has no reason to like germany she was born a 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 i think that those i hope i 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 fifty thousand israelis have applied for you appeal 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. because he is or was a stubbly to become a show. now europe comes the show. you can sleep in it's. death of my face 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 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 am canadian and israeli and i would never give up my 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 go to go there any time british passport or european passport is a doorway to opportunity eight years ago the bomb was blown up by 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 vain 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 this leading israeli journalist gideon levy people are tired of living in a war zone the israeli leadership basing its leadership on creating all that are. frightening comparing 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 the truth in world war. the one who are favored were the one who got the wide berth

affected this week let's talk about that have you felt the impact of a bad economy or better job this economy is not get me 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. it's really bad but i'm happy because brazil is growing like for me. 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 exaggerating not in greece and spain no no i feel like reports in the u.s. are i'm actually in the military so i feel it at all that's the only perk i would say that i'm one perk my job i've been getting steady paycheck for five years yet i can 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 or we have to come back even more so we can 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 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 that we've seen the bottom of the bottom look like. well it was pretty bad during the great depression is a part of 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 living standard i think we all have to go down whether or not you've been personally affected the bottom line is the global economy apparently continues to fall flat.

a remote environment needs replacement parts aren't always available and the workers here have to make do with what they can but it is pretty hard to get here good equipment to get here sophisticated equipment so while one challenge was to try to make your big science it was a very small amount of because of the heart and it's very radical difference and part that there is considered one of the most dangerous environments on the planet and because of this operating down here but we can be more going to convenience it can be downright deadly during the same storm the crew from the older guy on t.v. space lost one of their team when she pulled down an embankment into a frigid antarctic lake. but it was the most difficult experience of my career and such moments i start to feel that good just once just to try it out here and then with that in 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 happened we didn't even have time to make

a star which the moment required. to express compassion we have to go on with our work which we finished was about four am the last day the incident sparked an outpouring of international support from the surrounding bases but in a twist of all to appropriate for the harsh realities of working in antarctica the chilean air force plane that was a little. 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 and the difficulties we're not going to get under the key things all the old woman as soon as possible with your questions you will be lost when there is you immediately because it was unavoidable actions that me get one of those hurt for example when the airplane engine failed we have avoided doing anything illegal could have gotten any of us hurt and anyway so we don't have to airlift anybody else out of fear we have avoided any risk to another airplane arrives or may not

that went into the system derived from unfortunate necessity which keeps those living and working in the face of danger and safe as possible in antarctica sean thomas. by the way more videos and stories from sean's adventures across the antarctic on his blog that's available on our website a lot si dot com. more than a month. in one of the most extreme environments on the planet this is and large adults and people have to be aware that they are far away from civilization and sean thomas discovers what makes antarctica so special and attractive for many wildlife in antarctica is the bones and the fragile. expedition to the bottom of the earth artsy. a century of sweet victories and it's a loss is russia's
