many of the members which we could call me it didn't mean years here in wages if one bought stand outside after another year of skeptics who wanted danger from the start they have become the unlikely hero this tale just who the hell 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 you rob them of their democracy but they are left with is nationalism and by those countries are now waking up to the reality of the night land that says the euro is a political prison for for 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 on their feet greece ireland portugal italy spain it dominates continue to topple the year and it seems there will be no happily ever after. i see athens. while fears of a looming default is forcing governments to cut spending a british union leader says people refuse to suffer for something they're not responsible for later tells us how he thinks 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 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 markets in just twenty minutes from now here on r.t. and on the other side it learned it president obama has warned 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 want to bombers urging the parties to ignore political differences and a virt armageddon economics professor rodrigo trembly believes a deal will be struck and the debt limit will once again go up. the united states is not in the same position as and they are a country this is the country you know reserve currencies use internationally and

therefore they can afford to trim more dollars than the euro can. guarantee but that debt 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. expecting that he will do the same he would take the fall of a few days or a few hours before the deadline of august second that could be a similar situation as that happened in one thousand nine hundred four when representative getting rich close the government for a few days or should if you are nearly two weeks. held very much to president clinton at that time to be reelected in one thousand nine hundred six that's what president obama is hoping now that the republicans will be so extremist

than they in two thousand and twelve next year he may be reelected you with r.t. still ahead free the love of labor how india's hard work ethic is the driving force behind the country's economic success leaving western countries lagging behind. and from a russian orphanage to a golfing prodigy report on the young man's latest challenge of trying to trace his siblings. and stories to come 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 and started checking the reports from new york it seems there's still a strong market for tabloid titillation. sex drugs cheating and lies phony political scandal flashing dirty laundry racy 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. as 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. of the 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 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 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 the 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 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 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 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 rag 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 healthiness all six new yorkers why digging around for sleaze seems to be 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 the mark true because. people. you know they like to end with you they like. to win. but that's not what journalism

specifically what's true but never believe the media's. if you're 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 it is 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 be. paired for their own journey to get. special floating cranes are preparing to lift the doomed ship which sank in russia's volga river last sunday the search operation for fifteen missing passengers continues in the area nearby islands on board one of the ships watching the recovery efforts. the two enormous cranes behind me have begun the process of

lowering two cables which will then be threaded underneath the ship and used to right it is currently leading on its left side divers will then be able to go under to check for any of the remaining fifteen bodies that are yet to be found the shores are also being searched for any of those bodies and they'd also be able to search for the potential damage caused to the bulgarian to sink they will eventually find that damage as the ship is ready to be raised and they'll have to seal the hole to let all the water in and any other holes and then all the water inside the bulgarian will be able to be pumped out making it's light enough to be raised the divers though i've got a difficult task ahead of them with me is under a you are digging he's from the emergencies ministry under a could you maybe just tell us a bit about the conditions that the divers are working in. divers are currently working on the river bed but it's really difficult because of

crew visibility basically you can't see anything even if it's right in front of you that's why the divers are preparing to lift the ship up there barely able to see what they're doing obviously this operation now everyone is waiting especially the relatives on the banks people who have yet to 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. dot com and here's what else you'll find on the web site at the moment the u.s. activist 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. also on the web site of the with the ukrainian man launches on a wild experiment planning to spend over a month living with a family of law and small blogging about his experience and what he's planning to

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've got a train to catch for many years in britain and you have the risk that some people. in britain people don't work weekends is 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 we did notice of 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 the

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 and i don't have off. that it is an office working because they all have been processed that these things are being organized. but what may seem a fine example of did occasion may actually be. in the office environment i think people are expected to do the job of two or three people. even though the contract adele's 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

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 head 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 because 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 i don't remember much of what we're going to become close. she just goes there listening 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 filed zero 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 see moscow. the two largest nuclear powers russia and the us and moving towards a safer world by reducing their atomic arsenals but all countries feel the same a little later we assess the dangers of living in a world of competing 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 a lot of nuclear weapons on hair trigger alert. focus of a difference to use it as a three it all as an extra bit but 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 nuclear weapons or

sector as a direct result. in the delivery of welfare cuts in funding of education for young people and also a tax on people's pensions in addition to many of the communities up and down the country libraries close cuts in social services everything that people have taken for granted as. you seem to see these cuts in terms of rights in a moral position but isn't there has to be respected example they didn't see and 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. was double what it is now. millions of houses schools hospitals are. recognizing actually economically.
