after. i see him. and i while fears of a looming to falter is forcing e.u. governments to cut spending a british union leader says people refuse to suffer for something they're not responsible for later marcus' so what tells us how we things governments will be made to listen once hundreds of thousands strike back. the idea is to build pressure so the government realise the 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 cum 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 a room is one thing saying you want to go see it 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. he's going to be very powerful.

and you can watch the full interview with the british trade union here on art see it's coming your way in about twenty minutes time to stay with us. and 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 a fourteen point three trillion dollar debt ceiling once again president obama is urging the parties to set politics aside to avoid an economic crisis economist. 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 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 the 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
10:05 am
stable the dollar however has nothing to go down against except the prank and if you look at the dollar and the frank 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. good to have you with us on this. still ahead for you this hour love how in. the driving force behind the country's economic success leaving western countries lagging behind. a former russian orphanage prodigy girl born is like the challenge of trying to trying to discipline. forty two thousand americans die each year car accidents only a thousand. seven hundred thousand people. and thirty two thousand will kill

you with all to live from moscow now rupert murdoch has made a public apology for the phone hacking scandal that he called serious wrongdoing by the news of the world he's rapidly losing allies on both sides of the atlantic with his media empire crumbling on all sides but is also used to reports from new york it still seems there's a strong market for nation. sex drugs cheating and lies phony political scandal flashing dirty laundry racy made up celebrity gossip and crime stories almost beyond human imagination. old list 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
10:08 am
have sleazy tactics i mean they will slant a story they probably make up sources i mean when you read in a source. or said well who is it many times they can just make up the quote themselves and they say 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
10:09 am
was caught and we want congress to investigate what he's doing here in the united states we don't know if newspapers are backing 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 u.s. counting on the reader short attention span is a common publishing trick jennifer aniston brad pitt have 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 organization and then the news will happen to donate twenty thousand dollars
10:10 am
to that terrible organization the culture of sensationalism in the press is putting teacher 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 rats 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. while a newspaper gossip columns of become a reading habit for millions of people laurie huff and i stocks new yorkers why
10:11 am
digging around for sleaze is it 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
10:12 am
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 and we like. to win. but that's not what journalism supposed to pay and 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 there is no logical reason that you're garbage the bottom line is that if the rampant popularity of tabloid journalism in the u.k.

10:14 am
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 judging their allies and getting themselves involved but i think all of this is because nato cannot accept afford a defeat nor can the white house so they're using this stumble conference to mock some eyes might some eyes pressure on the khadafy government. well. right now. the during the cold war america. experiment. with a family of. videos

a small one import company called divine and is indians have developed a strong liking for french and spanish mintage is young men are working overtime to fill their glasses you have to be very flexible with your working hours. it interferes well recovered 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 says because i got a train to catch up for many years in britain and yet there is that so 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
10:20 am
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 strict regulations regarding labor hours but that doesn't stop people from spending more time in the office than needed. the most 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 wouldn't twenty four seven. working at another level off. that it is an office working because they're all division processed that distinguish are being organized so. it is nonexistent
10:21 am
but what may seem a fine example of dedication 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 lord garnishes probably the most popular god in the entire hindu pantheon in india he 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 nine to five working hours just don't cut it here in the long hours of hard labor but at the end all of that hard work pays off in. new delhi. he was a russian born gold prodigy had his chance in the game after being adopted by

american parents but for nikolai a couple of ski his biggest challenges in finding form on the fairways but finding the family he left behind. was the 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 alecky was an eleven year old when he was adopted by an american family you can never say that orphan 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. i don't remember exactly but i had no idea what it was i just was
10:23 am
a piece of metal and i asked him what it was and he told me it was god and then he asked me to he said you want to do want to try and i tried it and i had his fake. 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 i'm lost track of them he rejected several sports scholarship offers at top u.s. 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. 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
10:24 am
seer 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 of. but we're going to come close . she just 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 were 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 absi in moscow. all right now i just ahead here on out here we ask operators trade union leader whether workers should accept the cuts tax hikes being imposed on them but first though a reminder of our main stories in just

governments cut back spending to tackle debts that refused to budge themselves or less convinced that they should pay for the mistakes of banks and politicians next we hear from a union leader who says the public won't 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 thanks for talking to me 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 to the big that most people would 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 we're seeing changes in the delivery of welfare cuts in funding of

education for young people and also a tax on people's pensions in addition to that in 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 rights and wrongs almost a moral position but isn't there has to be respected for example they didn't reform and soon it looks like they might be able to afford. 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. deaths as a proportion of our g.d.p. was double what it is now then we millions of houses schools hospitals are. recognizing actually economically. far better to cut the deficit by employing people who pay taxes.
