12:05 pm
pressure ultimately come forced them to change direction the point is to change their minds and say you want to go see just when they're having a chat with a few people in a room is one thing so you want to go through 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 british trade union leader in just twenty minutes from now here on t.v. and on the other side it learns that president obama has warned the u.s. is quickly running out of time to deal with its own financial troubles and congress not raise the current fourteen point three trillion dollars debt ceiling now the bombers are urging the parties to ignore political differences and avert armageddon economics professor trembly believes the deal will be struck and the debt limit
12:06 pm
will once again go up. the united states is not in the same causation as any other country this is the country currency this year was internationally and therefore the can afford to print more dollars than the euro can only out of currency but that death level is very high they raise the debt ceiling each year and they have done it before that they will be raised because the president obama has a tradition of giving in to the demands of the republicans it did that he did it twice before so the republicans are. expat think that he will do the same he will take a fall a few days or a few hours before the deadline of august the second record be a similar situation as that happened in one thousand nine hundred four when representative enrich closed the government for a few days so should if you were nearly two weeks this held very much to
12:07 pm
president clinton at that time to be reelected in one thousand nine hundred six that's right president obama is hoping that the republicans will be a story extremist than a thousand and twelve next year you may be reelected. it with r.t. still ahead for you the love of labor how india's hard work ethic is the driving force behind the country's economic success leaving western countries legging behind. and from a russian orphanage to a golfing prodigy reporter the young man's latest challenge to try to trace his siblings. as to his talk on the first 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 as i started checking the reports from new york it seems there's still a strong market for tabloid titillation. sex drugs cheating and
12:08 pm
lies phony political scandal flashing dirty laundry racy made up celebrity gossip and crime stories almost beyond human imagination the. old list is served on a platter and sold for a couple of quarters by tabloids publish marilyn's hope those 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 slam a story they probably make up sources i mean when you read a source. a source said well who is it many times they can just make a call themselves and they stayed joe smith from queens. a lot of times they 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.
12:09 pm
and great britain we are both countries and both media environments and the gossip sells and there's a tremendous interest in celebrity both countries are of was 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 cat protesters demanded an investigation into this publication that we know what her dog 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 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 by the ones that are owned by rupert murdoch without question the new york post. is one of the most hideous deceitful.
12:10 pm
tools of criminals that there could be when it comes to giving 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 them photographed 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 have missed 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 is very american and you know we're a juvenile society where young society i don't really know what the brits excuses i
12:11 pm
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 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 and laurie hall from this new yorker is why digging around for sleaze seems to be taking over the news. how is 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
12:12 pm
business. you know. newspapers have to try to compete with the internet. with up to date you know. i think it's absolute trash it's nose space in this world for it all i hope they'll go in there but they're not going i'm sure 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 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 easier 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 of her whoever they want you know do you 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
12:13 pm
have no scruples we have it in the market. because. people. know what they like. but that's not what journalism specifically what's true never believe. it's 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 is that journalism i mean there is no logical reason that your car 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. cared for their own journey to get. special floating cranes are preparing to lift the ship bulgaria which sank in

12:15 pm
a could you maybe just tell us a bit about the conditions that the divers are working on. for the divers are currently working on the river gate but it's really difficult because of crew visibility basically you can't see anything even if it's right in front of you and that's why the divers are preparing to lift the ship up the appeal evil to see what they're doing obviously this operation now everyone is waiting especially the relatives on the banks people who have yet to hear from those fifteen will be desperate for news of what has happened to their loved ones and increasingly investigators want to know what caused this ship to sink and sink so fast causing so much tragedy. if you've missed anything we're covering here on our on screen had to r.t. don't call him and here's what else you'll find on the web site at the moment u.s. activists demand an end to torture as it emerges that during the cold war america trained interrogators who have used their brutal methods at home and abroad of.

stop people from spending more time in the office than needed by the notice of the most significant difference between the 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 wasn't ready for seven. working at them. i work at it is i'm an office working because of all the first thing that are being organized so our problem. is. but what may seem a fine example of dedication need 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 do it was might say one thing
