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 mark in just over an hour from here from now here on t.v. . on the other side of the atlantic 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 dollar debt ceiling on a bomb resulting the parties to ignore political differences and of armageddon economics professor rodriguez tremblay believes a deal will be struck the debt limit will once again go up. the united states is not in the same position as any other country this is the country you know reserve currencies use internationally and therefore they can afford to print more
1:04 pm
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 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 chose the government for a few days or so 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. but with an arty life here in moscow still ahead of this out love of labor india's hard work ethic is the driving force behind the country's economic success leaving western countries liking behind. little sister to come from a russian orphanage to a golfing prodigy report on the young man's latest challenge of trying to trace his siblings. a story still to come but 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 analysts on both sides at ninety eight with his media empire crumbling on all sides but then i started checking the reports from new york it seems there's still a strong market for tabloid to nation. 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
1:06 pm
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 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
1:07 pm
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 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
1:08 pm
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 and for me. 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 terrible 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 and there's just sort of this snickering tone that is very american you know we're a juvenile society we're a 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
1:09 pm
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. one newspaper gossip columns have become a reading habit to millions of people or a whole new york is 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
1:10 pm
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 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 of the mark two because. people. you know they like to end with you they like. to win. but that's not what journalism
1:11 pm
specifically 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 it is logical reason that your gar 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 general to get. special floating cranes are preparing to lift the doomed ship bulgaria which sank in russia's volga river last sunday the search operation for fifteen missing passengers continues in the area and on nearby island 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 write 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 bog area to sink they will eventually find that damage as the ship is ready to be raised and not have to seal the hole but let all the water in and any other holes and then all the water inside the ball gary 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. he's from the emergencies ministry under a could you 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 poor
1:13 pm
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 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 that we're covering here on screen you can always had to altie dot com here's what else you'll find on the web site at the moment u.s. activist a monument to torture is it emerges that journal cold war america trained interrogators who abuse their brutal methods at home and abroad. but a ukrainian man launches on a wild experiment planning to spend over months living with a family of law and small gloating about his experience you can find out what he's planning to achieve at r.t.

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 at 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 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. 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
1:17 pm
contracted hours. everyone would. 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 by working twenty four seventh's. working or not i work on sunday that it is an office working because the order would be processed being organized so. 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 two or three people. even though the contract adores 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 us 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
