tale just who the hell do you think you people are you are very very dangerous people indeed your obsession with creating this your right state means that you're happy to destroy democracy you appear to be happy for millions and millions of people to be unemployed and to be poor untold millions but suffered so that your euro dream could continue if you rob people of their identity you robbed them of their democracy but they are left with is nationalism and violence countries are now waking up to the reality of the night man chats and. the euro is a political prison for for countries such as greece and spain and they need to be liberated from that prison recreate their own currencies have devaluation make their exports cheaper make it easier for tourists to visit their countries and they'll get back in on their feet greece ireland portugal italy spain dominates continue to topple the year and it seems there will be no you happily

ever after. i see things. and while fears of a looming default is forcing you governments to cut spending a british union leader says people refuse to suffer for something they're not responsible for markets so what tells us how governments will be made to listen once hundreds of thousands strikes back. the idea is to build pressure so the government realise the working people the length and breadth of the u.k. are not just going to let them get away with what they're doing and we believe that pressure to make me come force them to change direction the point is to change their mind and saying you won't negotiate jess when they're having a chat with a few people in a room is one thing saying you want to go see it when there could be millions of people taking strike action is entirely another and we actually believe that the six million trade unionists plus the thousands and thousands or hundreds of thousands of pensioners and students all becoming a joint campaign is going to be poetically very powerful.

and you can watch the full interview with the british trade union leader mark so what go in just part of twenty minutes time here and i think. well on the other side of the atlantic the u.s. is quickly running out of time to deal with its own financial troubles congress must raise the current fourteen point three trillion dollar debt ceiling once again while president obama is urging the parties to set politics aside so avoid an economic crisis economist dr roger. says those differences are interfering with attempts to reach a solution. there's a personality conflict between the majority leader and the president which is quite unique and this has been taken into the public avenue of discussion once that happens and trust is lost between leaders it's far more difficult to secure an agreement behind the scenes if you cut spending you're going to also impede economic growth because the government is one of the largest employers if you bring

troops home and stop the wars you also have a problem with employment as servicemen and women come home these are classic economic problem problems what's required in the u.s. is a drastic program of infrastructure development and public jobs to guarantee wages and non interest loans for average americans if italy defaults for instance in europe it will be impossible for northern europe to bail out italy that will take the u.s. over if the dollar significantly loses value when the u.s. is unable to help europe that will in turn take the u.s. down the japanese no more have do not have sufficient liquidity to help this time around as they did in two thousand and eight the euro is intrinsically weak one is not a competitor for the dollar the ruble stands to be fairly stable given russia standing the major energy producer and natural resource giant on the world scene so the ruble should remain relatively stable the dollar however has nothing to go down

against except the prank and if you look at the dollar and the franc that monetary relationship is an all time low and that portends trouble for the future the best two currencies probably other norwegian krone and the swiss franc at this point gold is over traded and as we saw in two thousand and eight there can be a paradoxical drop in the price of gold during a market market crisis so banking on go is a highly risky proposition. it's good to have you with us on this saturday you're watching all it's still ahead for you this hour the love of labor in hard work i think is the driving force behind the country's economic success it's leaving western countries lagging behind. and from a russian orphanage to a golfing a prodigy report on its latest challenge of trying to trace down use of. rupert murdoch has made a public apology for what he called serious wrong doing by the news of the world on the pages of several british newspapers he's rapidly losing allies on both sides of

the atlantic with his media empire crumbling on all sides but as aunties honest and i reports from new york it seems there's still a strong market for tabloid took a nation sex drugs cheating and lies phony political scandal flashing dirty laundry brings the made up celebrity gossip and crime stories almost beyond human imagination. all this is served on a platter and sold for a couple of quarters by tabloids headless man in topless bar or something to kids moms in the freezer. like i bought it veteran journalist michael musto is one of millions falling for the bait of catchy headlines even though he knows the business inside out in america we don't break the law per se but they do have sleazy tactics i mean they will slant a story they probably make up sources i mean when you read them a source. a source said well who is it many times they can just make up the quote

themselves joe smith from queen said blah blah blah a lot of times i feel they're just inventing these quotes to back up the thesis of the story fascination with scandal is almost religiously observed in the u.s. and great britain we are both countries in both media environments where gossip sells and there's a tremendous interest in celebrity both countries are a buzz after rupert murdoch's news of the world newspaper phone hacking shocker broke in london his empire stretches far and wide across the u.s. as well let's not forget he owns the new york post the wall street journal and the daily at a protest outside rupert murdoch's big apple pad protesters demanded an investigation into his publications that whole we know what murdoch does in england because he was caught and we want congress to investigate what he's doing here in the united states we don't know if newspapers or other people in this country yet but i see no

reason to put it past them so how far from potential public embarrassment do american newspapers stand but the ones that are owned by rupert murdoch without question the new york post. is one of the most hideous deceitful. tools of criminals that there could be when it comes to getting scandal sold in the us counting on the readers short attention span is a common publishing trick jennifer aniston brad pitt has gotten together about forty two times so far this year and i haven't seen import a graph together since two thousand and six they're able to keep selling and repackaging the same story that isn't even a story no publication would admit to paying for. information but that's also often a technicality what a lot of mainstream news publications can get away with doing is even though they won't explicitly give someone money in exchange for an interview someone might set up a terrible organisation and then the news will happen to donate twenty thousand dollars to that terrible organisation the culture of sensationalism in the press is putting the future of journalism on the line the anglo-american style is it's trashy it's

ribald and there's just sort of this snickering tone that is very american and you know we're a juvenile society where young society i don't really know what the brits excuses i mean they've been around a long time but hey we blame it on them because we're their children while some will always remain fascinated by tabloids as rags continue to sell others have reached a breaking point i don't have that great of a sense of what happens in britain but i know it's pretty bad here and there are a lot of people who are really upset about the culture of news in america and just a little information so you see it out in between all the gossip the press has to be vigilant and in the united states the press has fallen asleep and r.t. new york. well newspaper gossip columns have become a reading habit for millions of people laurie how thinnest asks new yorkers why digging around for sleaze is taking over the news.

how has tabloid journalism become so influential and so popular in today's world this week let's talk about that i mean people like to read about other people's business. you know. newspapers have to try to compete with the internet. with up to date you know. dirt i think it's absolute trash there's no space in this world for it at all i hope they'll go in there but they're not going under they're increasing in power i don't believe that this is going to be the biggest takedown ever rupert murdoch is going down i think it's more of a pop culture based audience and so the journalists kind of cater to that and in turn it's kind of fun for them to be secret detectives but isn't it terrible i mean it might be fun but it's still criminal acts it's horrible i hate journalists you

know whatever that whatever it takes to get the story and her whoever they want you know and do you ever do you have that attitude at your job no not at all so what makes journalists special and they're not special they're the opposite of special they have no scruples we have it in the market. because. people. you know they like to end with you they like. to win. but that's not what journalism supposed to pay what's true but never believe the media is. it just going to keep getting worse probably do you think journalism like that is bound to spread around the world and become as rampant as it is in britain i do unfortunately and it really isn't journalism i mean there is no logical reason that huge gaar reach the bottom line is that if the rampant popularity of tabloid journalism in the u.k. is any indication the rest of the world should preserved be. parrot for their own

gentle let them to get a lot dirty air. it's and then a quarter past the hour here in moscow you with art see the libyan rebels now have the official recognition of more than thirty countries including the us following a diplomatic meeting in istanbul western and arab members of the libya contact group announced they would deal with the opposition until an interim authority is in place a decision came after four months of fighting to oust moammar gadhafi and gives the rebels potential access to billions of dollars of the leaders frozen assets in u.s. banks but mideast peace activist dr franklin lamb he told us that nato is running out of options in its campaign against gadhafi. there's a lot of questions about who these different factions who are arguably now fighting among themselves for power in the in the east what will ultimately be their relationship with the americans who have

a long history you know of misjudging their allies and getting themselves involved but i think all of this is because nato cannot accept or afford a defeat nor can the white house so they're using the you stumble conference to mock some eyes might some eyes pressure on the khadafy government. all the latest news from libya. our website right now u.s. soccer. is that during the cold war. over a month living with a family of. of course.

the official. video. thank you for joining us here on arts he now special a floating cranes are preparing to lift the ship which. last sunday the search

operation for fifteen missing passengers continues in the nearby islands. a people on board one hundred fourteen. twenty eight children. have been arrested in connection with the disaster the head of the company the boat. the inspector who certified it as fit to sail both face charges of negligence that led to the deaths arrest warrants have also been issued for the captains of two cargo vessels which pass the sinking ship without stopping to help. i don't know why let's get some other international news in brief for you here on r.t. syrian opposition members have been holding meetings in damascus to discuss ways of president assad this comes after a massive nationwide protests rocked the country on friday leaving at least thirty two people dead hundreds of thousands of anti-government demonstrators poured onto the streets of the capital and other cities before facing a crackdown by security forces because what has launched

a national dialogue with protesters are demanding that president assad steps down. and as well as president hugo chavez is to return to cuba for more cancer treatment including chemotherapy recently asked the national assembly to authorize his trip required by the constitution return to venezuela after spending nearly a month in cuba where he had a cancerous tumor. removed his battle with cancer has raised doubts over his fitness to lead the country but officially he still plans to run for reelection next year. china has called on the united states to cancel a private meeting between president obama and the tibetan spiritual leader the dalai lama beijing says it could interfere with the country's internal affairs and damage relations between them leaders are expected to discuss the dalai lama's hopes of tibet to be semi autonomous china meantime has accused him of pushing for full tibetan independence. a japanese nuclear reactor has been closed down because

of problems with an emergency cooling system there was a sudden pressure drop in the safety tank at the ohi plant just west of tokyo pressure return to normal after about an hour meaning there was no radiation leakage but engineers have decided not to take any chances the closure will lead to power problems in areas of struggle. to get back online still after the earthquake and tsunami. well they say that to get the best in life you have to put the hours in something the people in india know all too well statistics show they work harder and longer than that their western counterparts. on our way in to reveal the reality of life in the new delhi rat race. it's a busy city with busy people india is a rising economic locomotive so what's the driving force behind its success it could very well be that people like. bulls are co-directors of a small one import company called divine and his indians have developed

a strong liking for french and spanish mintages young men are working overtime to fill their glasses you have to be very flexible with your working hours of. interviews we're going to globalization and because of oh you know you're interacting with so many people from abroad especially america or you know europe so. we can't be fixed by means where we can say we're only going to go from nine to five but people in britain for example can and do say that seven spent years working as a business consultant in the u.k. and he says brits watch that clock closely in britain people leave a five o'clock and they won't start i said because i got a train to catch up for many years in britain and yet there is that some people. in britain people don't work weekends it's changing a little bit now particularly in periods of economic recession. but generally it's a monday to friday as recently as just two years ago india had

a six day long week the government has put in stricter regulations regarding labor hours but that doesn't stop people from spending more time in the office than needed to save them a significant difference between the kind of work culture in india and in britain is the pressure of people around to work above and beyond their contracted hours. everyone will do this irrespective or really if there's work to be done if there is a small enterprise to run then all state regulations go out of the window if sacrifices equal success then you have to make them i'm working twenty four seventh's. working as a. i work on sunday that it is i'm an office working because they're all division processed that distinguish are being organized so as for the person. it is nonexistent but may seem a fine example of did occasion may actually be a drawback in the office environment i think people are expected to do the job for

two or three people. even though the contract to those might say one thing which isn't always such a good thing because if you work such long hours it's going to affect your performance while europe and the u.s. spend their money on fighting wars and their time on trying to figure out a way to get out of economic slump india is busy getting things done the indian way or garnishes probably the most popular god in the entire hindu pantheon in india is supposed to bring prosperity and success to those who worship him but the success of indian businessmen should not be a trip to the divine help alone ninety five working hours just don't cut it here in the. hours of hard labor but at the end all of that hard work pays off it in. new delhi. for twenty two pm here in moscow you with artsy he's a russian born in gulfport and she had his chance in the game after being adopted by american parents but for a couple of his biggest challenges in finding form on the fairways but finding the

family he left behind a. story. he might have a smoother swing but from the outside nicholai looks no different to the pampered junior players in this hyper exclusive moscow golf club but this couldn't be further from the truth nikolai come alaska was an eleven year old all for when he was adopted by an american family you can never say that orphanage life is easy you know and basically they're the they make you feel like it's nothing you're nothing to me when i came to united states i had a lot of problems emotionally he's an incredible young man he's someone who's taken on many challenges in his life and he's always overcome then came the gulf one day i just saw my desk going in a golf club in the backyard and. i don't remember exactly but i had no idea what it was i just was a piece of metal and i asked him what it was and he told me and then he asked me to

he said you want to do want to try and i tried it and i headed straight for my first ball and he said you're playing. despite making headway in sport was one thing nicholai could not get over when he moved to the united states nikolai was separated from his younger sister and brother and lost track of them he rejected several sports scholarship offers at top years colleges to play for the russian national golf team so he could search for his siblings. then this year during a top junior tournament heard news about his sister my whole life. my dad and we have paid a lot of money to different companies to try to find her and then i met family out of nowhere and they found there in less than two weeks so to me i never thought that i was ever going to see her again reunited at last nicholai sister and the seer was never adopted she's about to graduate from

a school in southern russia. when they heard about my brother and i thought it was a prank my friend played on me i don't remember much of him but we're going to become close again she just goes there was nick i'm going to buy her a computer so that we can talk to each other all the time so that we never lose touch again but when you put it earlier back in moscow nikolai has won the prestigious faldo series tournament and will compete against europe stop young players later this year but he says now his priority is finding his brother we can only wish nicholai the best in his dream to become a professional golfer but what he's had to overcome whatever happens next he is already a winner. see in moscow. right now at twenty five minutes past the hour here in the russian capital the two largest nuclear powers russia and the u.s. are moving towards a safer world by reducing their atomic arsenals but not all countries feel the same

a little bit later we assess the dangers of living in a world of competing nuclear interests. with the end of the boer war and the going away of the soviet union many people thought that nuclear weapons disappeared. the risk is not zero that something might be going off by mistake especially of sounds of the nuclear weapons on hair trigger alert. purpose of the difference to use it as a three ball as an actual weapon you know if you keep spinning a trillion dollars a year on weapons of venture you're going to blow everybody up you you know people are dying from these weapons but until we actually see it people don't wake up to know through weapons or build the new. that represents all the firepower of the second world war and this second sound is the equivalent firepower of the world's nuclear arsenal today.

and that are fascinating reporters on air in about an hour's time here and. we ask a trade union leader whether workers should accept cuts and tax hikes imposed on them that's off the top stories i'll see you in just a. first

. second explosive blast to go deeper than the. earth the remains are. lethal on.

an. assignment holds. happening to the global economy.

the majority of. the world. media.

e.u. governments cut back spending to tackle debts that refused to budge themselves that they should pay for the mistakes of banks and politicians we hear from. the public take this without a fight. today i'm talking to mark hughes one of the brains behind the thirtieth of june nationwide strikes in the u.k. he's head of the public and commercial services union mr walker thanks for talking to r.t. today know this is possible to plan to cut public spending in this country just how drastic are these cuts going to be give us an impression of what they might mean for the cuts of the big that most people will have seen in their lifetime projected

to mean half a million jobs lost in the public sector six hundred thousand jobs in the private sector as a direct result. in the delivery of welfare cuts in funding of education for for young people and also a tax on people's pensions in addition to many of the communities up and down the country will see libraries close cuts in social services everything that people have taken for granted as. you seem to see these cuts in terms of right and wrong almost a moral position but isn't there has to be respected example they didn't reform and soon it looks like they might be able to afford teachers or nurses. in greece this is the fifth largest economy in the world and if you look at historically the british economy for fifty consecutive years from one thousand nine hundred on words our debt as a proportion of our g.d.p. was double what it is now then we built millions of houses.
