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 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. the story because he was a stubborn to become a shelter for the jewish now europe becomes the shell of the true sleeping is. that of 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 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 good eighty in 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 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 vain 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 his leading israeli journalist gideon levy that people are tired of living in a war zone the israeli leadership. basing its leadership on creating all the. frying in comparing against anything and the payoff is a population that feels unsafe with one eye on europe. damis 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 draw in world war two the one who are favored were the ones who got the wide berth for their leisure. if you're going to go out. that can help you to move. out of danger zone then you do it every year more jews leave israel for europe and the skates then 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 points leader r t tel of of. lately good news about the economy has been few and far

between with layoffs austerity and a growing u.s. national debt some are staying optimistic saying things could be worse as our resident on the streets of 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 effects of a bad economy need a better job this economy's not give me a better job here desire to try to go to college and then i can because car my car gas is all expensive at school so expensive so small in the 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 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 in the us are i'm actually in the military so i do not feel that at all that's the only perk i. park 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 and i guess we have bigger problems to worry about the economy and we had. 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 haven't to cut back 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 that we've seen the bottom what 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 are each 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 impacted the bottom line at the global economy apparently continues. he was called the father of the bolshevik revolution and though highly debated his role in russia's history can't be ignored a little later we retrace lenin's path in moscow. to change the course of the straits and starting off red square next to the magnificent kremlin. as we take a look at his epic journey. with his life around.

moscow is coming your way in the next hour here on our team devoted scientists give up the comfort of home in the company of family and friends to work in extreme conditions at the ends of the earth or he's sean thomas takes a look at the 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 and it was pretty bad it was. thirty thirty thirty but not. just rolling around. you had to put the. kids. in this in between us. so we're rolling around pretty violently trying to make very good rather. yes. the crew of this ship was able to pull through the

tempest and even work with nearby stations to repair their damaged vessel but they were lucky operating in such a remote environment means that 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 to challenge us to try to make your big science was a very small amount of equipment because of the hearts and three weather conditions and our think there 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 done right deadly during the same storm the crew from that would go 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 of my career in such moments i start to sing that good just once is to try is out here. 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 stop which the moment required a stop to think to express compassion we had to go on with our work which we finished at 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 airlift. 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 be cautions and avoid actions that me get one of those hurt for example when the

airplane engine failed we have avoided doing anything that could have gotten any of us hurt in any way so we don't have to airlift anybody else and here we have avoided any wrists until another airplane arrives when we need a system derived from unfortunate necessity which keeps those living and working in the face of danger and safe as possible in antarctica sean thomas. as plenty more videos and stories from sean's adventures across the antarctic on his blog on our website r t dot. oh a little later on r t the new battle of tara we follow the story of one man's personal fight to preserve a world war two battle ground and memorialize the fallen is coming your way in our special report. seventy six hours of intense fighting. six thousand dead at a beach front battlefields several kilometers long. and now there is only one
