journalist with russian thuggery but certainly if you look at all murder whether it's on television or you paid verbal assassins right to light early on hannity and night it states i don't reckon. it's a whole culture of power and control and conception or an agenda and that agenda i think is the general prominent powers both britain and the united states. oh you're asking what you think of tabloids tactics getting the story and here's what you're saying at our t.v. dot com so far most votes say it's ok long as it doesn't cross the line thirty four sansa viewers things he approaches in one meeting the modern public's demand around a fifth believe such good morning acids are outrageous and ethical and must be punished all the rest thing again is in line with society's move towards less

5:08 am
a financial writer patrick young told us the government may find itself in conflict with the public that's dead set against cuts. there will be one significant difference between the people who take to the streets between greece and italy and that is that greece at least thank goodness the taxi drivers don't go on strike where is nuclei expected almost everybody is going to end up on strike and it's going to be absolutely chaotic the only way they can slip this through is perhaps because we do have this long lead in time until the cuts really start to make an impact in two thousand and thirteen but i think the problem is in the meantime a large amount of the sort of the leftist opposition in italy for see the fact that silvio berlusconi due to many of the reasons will soon which are outside of the direct fiscal reason are well i mean he's a wounded animal at this point in time and in some ways i think that he's going to be very difficult to hold his government together there are big problems in western europe they haven still be here definitely to the east everyone not so fortunately
5:09 am
expect further to the crisis because the epidemic the contagion seems to be spreading and we have new political leadership seeming to do with. as days crossed out here the values gas discussed why the e.u. is leadership is so adamant about saving the euro and yourself what's coming up at eleven thirty g.m.t. . let greece go break up it would be good for greece it would be good for the europe it'd be good for the world if greece went bankrupt and rose to the highest pay their bills or stop lying then you would have everybody would know it's a strong sound currency based on a strong sound economy why lahman go bankrupt this isn't in our euro in america we've had stage go away grow here in cities go away grow up we've had characters go great growth it didn't in the united states and it didn't in the u.s. start i'll tell you why because of the four hundred billion dollars a bet that greece has fifty percent is held by german and french banks and those countries don't want to take a second hit in the financial markets is that simple. if you.

want to be. very clear reflections on the other side of the atlantic to president obama has given an unyielding u.s. congress thirty six hours to raise the country's debt ceiling the deadlocks already spurred to office three major credit rating agencies to threaten downgrading america's aaa status but best alice max will tell you that washington's addiction to debt is clouding both sides appetite for real solution. america's been running on debt for years this is a disaster in the making i would liken the situation here to a cancerous tumor inside a body there's no better time to cut the cancerous tumor out as quickly as you possibly can that said the u.s. government has been running on debt for many many years and we've been raising the
5:11 am
budget the total debt ceiling for many many years as a budget issue and we've successfully had deals struck it has become the political norm in the united states that whatever party is in the white house has to ask to raise the debt ceiling it's always been raised in the past the party that's not in the white house it's out of power screams and yells for three or four days at most usually about how the government spending too much and should live within its means the debt ceiling debate gets raised and it's business as usual that's been the case for thirty years so we have one side in the congress right now that's a sided no increase in revenue is acceptable i don't other side has decided that not raising revenue is unacceptable and so we've reached an embarrassing impasse that has dragged on for weeks longer than it should and is the reason that we're going to see a growing chorus of foreign and domestic voices urging congress and the white house to stop riling already strained global markets with a political impasse despite treaties and agreements to curb the spread of nuclear

5:13 am
and this second sound is the equivalent firepower of the world's nuclear arsenal today. iran stories have been issued for the captains of two vessels which passed by the sunken volga river cruise ship was out stopping to help survivors and they will reportedly face negligence charges comes just a day after two people linked to the disaster were arrested to hand over the farm which rented out the vessel and the registrar for certify the ship are suspected of violating safety regulations resulting in the deaths severely overloaded crews are went down on sunday in russia's republic of tatarstan killing at least one hundred fourteen people including twenty seven children the sunken ship is to be brought to

leaders in washington d.c. have come together to demand a full commission of inquiry into what they describe as torture practices been able by the united states including in its own prisons like one time ok and by the cia when president bush says that he waterboarding and he would do it again. and set them right that he had ordered it. that's a very serious problem for the spirit soul of our country as the myth of how many prisoners were tortured by the united states are hard to find but survivors like hector's say the numbers don't tell the full story would someone gets torture no only the person will suffer for the year with a big. part of those on the trigger there's also someone who has to be humanized themselves in order to be humanizing those human beings but a society that supports it is going to be upright a very big crisis illinformed artsy washington d.c. . as the u.s.

these facilities in mogadishu and it's for those networks to answer why they've never reported on it both c.n.n. and a.b.c. have allowed their facilities their media outlets to be used as conveyer belts for the spin of the cia and that's the job of the cia and they do it well but the job of major media outlets should not be to be a conveyor belt for the propaganda of u.s. intelligence agencies so i would leave those those questions for other media outlets as to why they're not reporting on this very serious life and death issue that has to do very much with the rule of law in this country and whether or not there's been any change when it comes to respect of international human rights laws and standards. well some of this hour's other world news now the pentagon has admitted suffering one of its widest ever happier attempts with thousands of sensitive fans file still deputy defense secretary william lynn says all the data was taken at a single intrusion in march officials blame an unspecified foreign government and comes after revealing a new internet strategy which treats cyber space as operational terrain like land
