well do you think you people are you are very very dangerous people indeed your obsession with creating this euro 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 must suffer so that your euro dream could continue if you rob people of their identity if you rob them of their democracy but all they are left with is nationalism and violence countries are now waking up to the reality of the nightmare that chap said. the euro is a political prison for poor countries such as greece and spain and they need to be liberated from their 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 it down the nays continue to topple for the year and it seems there will be no happily ever

after south i see athens. and i while fears of a looming defaulters are forcing e.u. 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 he thinks governments will be made to listen once hundreds of thousands of strikes back. the idea is to build pressure so the government realize that working people the length and breadth of the u.k. i'm not just going to let them get away with what they're doing and we believe that pressure to make me calm forced them to change direction the point is to change their mind and saying you won't negotiate just when they're having a chat with a few people in the room is one thing saying you won't negotiate when they 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 our british trade union leader mark in just over an hour's time here on artsy 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 dollars debt ceiling once again president obama is urging the parties to set politics aside to avoid an economic crisis economist dr roger. says that these 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 the 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 the 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 as a major energy producer a 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 in 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. you without a lot from moscow it's a good to have you with us to tell you so if you give us our. views hard work i think is the driving force behind the country's economic success with leaving western countries lacking behind. and from a russian orphanage to a golfing prodigy we report on his latest challenge of trying to trace his siblings . rupert murdoch has made a public apology for the phone hacking scandal that he called serious wrongdoing by the news of the world he is rapidly losing out eyes on both sides of the atlantic with his media empire crumbling on all sides but it's all to use the necessity to

check in to reports from new york it still seems there's a strong market for tabloid. drugs cheating and lies phony political scandals 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. 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. said well who is it many times they can just make up the quote themselves

and they say joe smith from queens 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 abuzz 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 at home we know 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 are 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 fooled in the u.s. 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 the photographs 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 organization and then the news will happen to donate twenty thousand dollars to that charitable organization 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 there's just sort of this snickering tone that is very

american and you know we're a juvenile society we're 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 how little information seems to get out there 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 huff and asked asks new yorkers now why digging around for sleaze is taking over the news.

how it tabloid journalism becomes 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 it's nose base in this world for it 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 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 do you ever do you have that attitude at your job no not at all so what makes

journalists special 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. but that's not what journalism supposed to be 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 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 be prepared for their own journalism to get a lot dirtier. with

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 work 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 for many years in britain and you're there is that some people don't work 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. a more 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 of 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 at another level. i work on sunday that it is an office working because they're all division processed being organized so. it is nonexistent but what 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 of two or three people. even though the contract to those might say one thing which isn't always such

a smoother swing the trend 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 unless he was an eleven year old often when he was adopted by an american family you can never say that or think his 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 emotion that he's an incredible young man he is someone who has 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 seven 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 it was golf and then he asked me to he said you want to head you want to try and i tried it and i headed straight for my first ball and he said your point. 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. this year during a top junior tournament heard news about his sister my whole life i was searching for it with 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 understood here was never adopted she's about to graduate from a school in southern russia. knew when they heard about my brother and i thought it was a prank my friend played on me i don't remember much about him i don't. going to become

close. 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 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 either overawed now. in moscow. now right now or 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

disappear the bit of risk is not zero that something might be going off by mistake especially of thousands of nuclear weapons on hair trigger alert. purpose of a difference to use it as a threat or as an actual rip and 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 a bill. 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. you do not want to miss that report is coming your way in less than five minutes time here on r t up but first up about to remind you of our top stories do stay
