resident on the streets of new york. 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 a bad economy a better job this economy is my job here because 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 is good so is that kind of the way because when some countries are hurting other countries can prosper mark yeah greece is looking bad spain is looking i feel like we're on the right path so they're just exaggerating not in greece and spain no no i feel like the reports from us are i'm actually in the military so i do not feel that at all that's the only perk i don't want park my job i think instead you

paychecks for five years yet i can't be 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 and you had. to we had to come back even more would show we could take cruises you come to new york this. crucial british air force time in new york city today but it doesn't sound like you're hurting that it sounds like you're doing ok we haven't cut back on a lot of other things 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 or is the bottom look like. well it was pretty bad during the great depression 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 when they're not even personally impacted the bottom line is the global economy apparently continues to fall flat. devoted scientists give up the comfort of home in the company of family and friends who work in extreme conditions at the ends of the earth archy's sean thomas investigates the price people have to pay to fulfill their passion for making new discoveries. antarctic storms are known to be fierce sometimes forcing those who have to endure them to take safe harbor it was prepared it was. three to three. years rolling around. had to. get. the we're rolling around. trying to make
