guys are staying with us here on r t six fifteen am in moscow the promised land of the jews israel is now facing something of an exodus of its own tens of thousands of fled the country over the past few years with many others considering packing their bags policy or a ports fears over security have forced many israelis to look for a safe haven abroad. rachel shites has no reason to like germany she was born there before the second world war and within six years had been expelled and most of her family killed but the irony is she now wants a german passport. 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 it's really. his story because he is or was a stubborn to become a shill for the jewish people and europe becomes the shell of the juice leaving. that of my faith 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. and i would never give up my canadian and probably would give up my israeli the american i wouldn't give up because i have family there and i want to have 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 month and he's only one lawyer working in the field of fate of the jews in world war two. the one who are favored were the one who got though i'd. call. if you're going to go. that can help you to move. out of danger zone when you do it every year more jews leave israel for europe and the states and then the other way around 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 pointlessly r t tel of of good news for the economy is few and far between with layoffs austerity and a growing us 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 facts of a bad economy a better job this economy is not get me a better job here because i try to go to college and i can because car my car gas is all expensive at school so expensive so it's more musicians 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 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 the reports in the us are i'm actually in the military so i feel it at all that's the only perk of our system one perk 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 is bad and you had to cut back or we have cut back even more would show we could take cruises you 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 got 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 reach country have to lower their their expectations of. the living standard i think we all

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 a good seat on the key things is all problems as soon as possible or the opportunity will be lost when there is no immediate response because shien's and avoid actions that me get one of those hurt for example when the airplane engine field 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 here we have avoided any wrists until another airplane arrives when
