of her family killed but the irony is she now wants a german passport at the. 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 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 these are rules established. for the jewish. sleeping. with of my place to make it harder to live here you'll hear more english than hebrew and you'll be forgiven for thinking if 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. and i would never give them

a canadian and probably would give up my very the american i wouldn't give up because i have family. i want to go to go there any time british passport or european passport is a 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 the peak of the bombings and there was a feeling of insecurity so yes there was an increase 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 is leading israeli journalist media navy their people are tired of living in a war zone. releasing its own creating all. of

leader r t television and news for the economy has lately been few and far between with layoffs us territory and growing u.s. national debt some are staying optimistic though saying things could be worse as our 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 or better job this economy is not a better job here does 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's 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 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 us are i'm actually in the military so i feel it all that's the only per hour system one perk my job i think getting steady paycheck 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 is bad 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 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 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 know where they live their expectations of. the living standard i think we all have to go down whether or not even personally in fact that the bottom line at the global economy apparently continues to fall flat. chicago's former mayor richard daley held office for twenty two years and actually tells all girl the secret of political jeopardy coming your way a little later this hour here's a preview you sort of six to well two terms in office is one of the fundamental principles of american democracy democracy in a lot of countries in the world so shouldn't it be applied to to the post of the maid or you know if you put your name up you say you want to left here now that's

it that's the thing i think people say well the public is that they're smart we have to limit terms the public the smarter than anyone else they can say we like you or reject you what you believe in the presidential term well i don't know i don't know the american people elected their academic for the fifteenth and i wouldn't i wouldn't i wouldn't mind i think any president should right but when you start limiting people that means you say the public doesn't have enough education or enough confidence or were thought to understand whether or not you're doing a good job and so my belief is you run for you run for election and if they accept who they accept you then you carry that on well maybe maybe they think that when you are in for the sea you've got too much of what we call the administrative resource i mean you can you can you can you can pull in more and more money more resources to being relaxed you got them to go after the number because you just weren't really elected and you know were about doing your job then you care for reelection most people worry about that maybe they have accumulated money i get my

campaign going and they forget about doing their job and so the mayor is more it's not a partisan job the mayor is about people and that's where the mayor's office is about . devoted scientists give up the comfort of their homes in the company of family and friends to work in extreme conditions sometimes at the ends of the earth or he's sean thomas investigates that price people have paid 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 pretty bad it was. and it was thirty to thirty. years rolling around. in this thing. that we're rolling around. trying to make hair on
