whopping budget deficit and with the euro sinking this week artie's sarah first reports on why the future of the single currency doesn't look so bright anymore. as the crowds gather. to continue timescape now lie ahead. everybody here. for the future if you think countries like italy looking on increasingly unstable grounds can the year i write out this financial still this is really something quite frightening if indeed italy really goes into big trouble on the financial markets this is certainly a totally new face of the euro crisis you mention here a fairy tale with all too appealing countries chips they didn't sell through bites of the g.c. apple now nenni left taking the bait that. got

bad i mean. after more than a decade of great businesses like badasses have been hit hard both the center shopping street in athens is still bustling the problems with the economy means that many businesses here in greece. doing the year in many european prices many of the members we could colonies it didn't mean european wages is one thought after another year of skeptics who wanted danger from the start they have become the unlikely hero 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 employed under before untold millions but so that your

euro dream to continue if you broke people of their identity you wrote them a bit of opera say but all that which is nationalism and by those countries are now waking up to the reality of the nightmare that says the euro is a political present for countries such as greece and spain and they need to be liberated from that prison. recreate their own currencies have their evaluation make their exports cheaper make it easier for tourists to visit their countries and they'll get back on their feet please. put your girl it's really a come in a continued to topple the year it seems. likely ever and. i see things. while fears of a looming default are forcing e.u. governments to cut spending a british union leader says people refuse to suffer for something they're not responsible for but either marx or was going to tells us how he thinks governments

will be made to listen once hundreds of thousands strike. the idea is to build pressure so the government realise 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 minds 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 won't negotiate 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. you can watch the full interview with a british trade union leader mark swapped our next hour right here on r.t. as the eurozone debt crisis shock waves are spread

a ratings agencies have put the us in the firing line as well america is on the verge of reaching its fourteen point three trillion dollar debt ceiling which means obama and his republican opponents need to strike a swift deal before the government runs out of cash in theory at any rate but economics professor roderick tremblay believes that the debt limit will once again go off as it always has done in american history. the united states is not in the same position as an auto country this is the country currency this year was internationally and therefore they can afford to print more dollars than the euro. currency but that debt level is very high raises the debt ceiling each year will be raised because the president obama as a federation of caving in to the demands of the republicans he did it he did it twice before so the republicans are. expat think that he will do the same it would

take a fall a few days or few hours before the deadline of august second that would be a similar situation as that happened in one thousand nine hundred four when representative enrich chose the government for a few days or should if you are nearly two weeks this held very much the president came down at that time to be re-elected in one thousand nine hundred six that's right president obama is hoping now that the republicans will be so extremist than they in two thousand and twelve next year may be reelected and later on in the program of the formula for prosperity we look at the driving force of boosting india's economy to make it to the tenth largest in the world. and in another story of success this time a russian or friend who's become a golf prodigy after being adopted by american parents but his biggest challenge is not in the world of sports but in finding the family he left behind.

rupert murdoch has apologized for the news of the world phone hacking scandal with full page ads in seven british national newspapers and the media mogul is it now working with a team of top p.r. experts before a grilling from british m.p.'s on tuesday amid public outrage over illegal accessing of the mobiles of murder and terrorism victims. and to dead soldiers families in crisis has already forced him to shut the one hundred sixty eight year old newspaper scuttled his bid for b. sky b. and claimed two of his top executives journalist afshin rattansi says however some are set to benefit from the meltdown murdoch's media and. the political classes here finally feel freed up for the first time in decades of decades so i don't think appeasing would or could particularly work everyone is watching for tuesday's committee where rupert murdoch and his son james will appear so it will be

interesting to see that i think we should remember that the prime minister here in me will probably not today because it's saturday said the truth is we've all been in this together the press politicians and leaders of all parties and yes that includes me very sorry indictment for democracy in this country and coming through there i suppose one could say that it was multinationals who are using murdoch in a way so they're lobbying rupert murdoch it's the big companies big multinationals and so forth that seem to get things done by helping m.p.'s behind me perhaps not as bad as in washington but i don't think it's the end of the outside influences outside undemocratic forces as regards influences on the parliamentarians but i mean it is interesting that he owned these newspapers and they would say rupert murdoch loves newspapers he basically had newspapers so that he could manipulate not only concerns over his broadcast interests which actually did make money unlike newspapers newspapers are just a tool as a word he has lots of enemies out there he probably

a lot of ammunition to go back at them though thanks to all the muckraking journalists who spent their time. looking at sex scandals very he does have lots of friends one should add but it looks at some m.p.'s have it unbelievable that he has the right to own any form of media in this country we're about to grab united states because that's. it gets really interesting the democratic party in congress is a full on party doesn't really have anything any hope left now that president obama has destroyed his reputation warmongering and his reaganite economic policies as he deals with the deficit the democrats have nothing much to do but they all hate one particular influential cable channel four news and i'm hearing that if if the nine eleven victims have been hacked by subsidiaries of news corp then fox news is finished it took it took the most curious cases of hacking rather than any kind of

regulator body to be able to get murdoch through finally. finally overthrew him as it were is an amazing story we'll be. looking for the hollywood law. as we've just heard there the scandal in britain is now starting to spill over to the u.s. where even bigger trouble could lie ahead for murdoch with reports that phones of victims of the nine eleven terrorist attacks were hacked charges could also result in the u.s. over bribing the british public police by staff corruption abroad is illegal for american based companies but as an associate trippin to reports the tabloids keep flying off the shelves thanks drugs cheating and lies a political scandal flashing dirty laundry. and crime stories almost beyond human imagination. all this just served on a platter and sold for

a couple of quarters by tabloids headless man in topless bar or something. in the freezer. i thought it veteran journalist michael musto is one of millions falling for the bait after 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 slap a story they probably make up sources i mean when you read them a source. a source said well who is it many times they can just make up the quote themselves joe smith from queen said blah blah blah 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 really just we 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 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 murdoch's big apple cat protesters demanded an investigation into this publication that we know why it 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. tools of criminals that there could be when it comes to giving scandal fooled in the u.s. counting on the reader 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 were able to keep selling and repackaging the same story that isn't even a story no publication would admit to paying for. permeation but that's also off to 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 charitable 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 mean they've been around a long time but. we blame it on them because we're their children while some will always remain fascinated by tabloids as right 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. as reading newspaper gossip columns has become a daily habit for millions more harsh honest people in new york of the phone hacking scandal surrounding murdoch's media will make them change. 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 it. newspapers have to try to compete with the internet. with up to date you know. dirt i think it's absolute trash

his 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 of 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 of 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 and they're not special there are the opposite of special they have no scruples we have in the market. because. people. like to. but that's not what journalism supposed to be what's true

but never believe the media's. going to keep getting worse probably do you think journalism like that is bound to spread around the world from become as rampant as it is in britain i do unfortunately and it really is a journalism i mean. it is logical reason that you're garbage 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 general to get a lot of. emergency crews are to use a special crane boats and lifting equipment to raise the bulgaria cruise ship from the bottom of the volga river after it sunk on sunday killing one hundred twenty nine people twenty eight of them children and search operation for fifteen missing bodies continues artie's time part reports from the site the two enormous cranes behind me 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 also be able to search for the potential damage caused to the bulgaria to sink they will eventually find that damage as the ship is ready to be raised and not have to seal a sense with the hole to let all the water in and any other holes and then all the water inside the bulgari 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 andree could you maybe just tell us a bit about the conditions that the divers are working. with divers are currently working on the river bed but it's really difficult because of

previous ability basically you can't see anything even if it's right in front of you that's why the tigers are preparing to lift the ship up there barely able to see what they're doing obviously this operation now everyone is waiting especially when it serves on the banks people. you 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. about reporting for us there now let's turn to some other international news in brief we're covering for you today. syrian opposition members have been holding meetings in damascus and it's down ball to discuss ways of asking president assad this comes after a massive nationwide protest rocked the country on friday leaving at least thirty two people dead hundreds of thousands of anti-government demonstrators poured on to the streets of the capital and other cities before facing

a crackdown by security forces and government has launched a national dialogue where protesters are demanding president assad step down. venezuelan leader hugo chavez has transferred part of his presidential power to the vice president and minister of finance says he travels to cuba for a new round of cancer treatment he's been given unanimous approval from the national assembly for the trip even from the opposition chargers a battle with cancer has raised doubts over his fitness to leave the country but he insists he still plans to run for reelection next year. despite warnings from china u.s. president barack obama has held a private meeting with the exiled tibetan spiritual leader the dalai lama the chinese government earlier called on the united states to cancel the talks saying it would damage relations between the countries the leaders were expected to discuss the dalai lama's hopes for tibet to be semi autonomous china has accused

him of pushing for full tibet and independence. india has recently become one of the top ten largest economies of the world a key driving force is the willingness of indians to work long hours for low pay doing their western counterparts reports. it's a busy city with busy people india is a rising economic locomotive so what's the driving force behind its success it could very well be that people like you and can now both are co-directors of a small one import company called divine and as indians have developed a strong liking for french and spanish language is young men are working overtime to fill their glasses you have to be very flexible with your working hours. engineers were 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 we can't fix families 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 stay later because i go to trains or catch work for many years in britain and you have the risk that some people don't work in britain they wouldn'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 we did notice of the most significant difference between the kind of work culture in india and in britain is the pressure people are under to work above and beyond their contracted hours and it's everyone we do this irrespective of really is.

there's work to be done if there is a small enterprise to run then all state regulations go to the window if sacrifices equals success then you have to meet them i wouldn't really feel seven. working in i don't know but off i work. i'm in office working because the order was reprocessed being organized so i asked for the person. because no one. but what may seem a fine example of did occasionally actually be a drawback when in the office environment i think people are expected to do the job or two or three people. in 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 oregon is probably the most popular god in the entire hindu pantheon in india he's

supposed to bring prosperity and success to those who worship him but the success of indian businessmen should not be attributed to the divine help alone ninety five working hours just don't cut it here indian still long hours of hard labor but at the end of that hard work pays off in those cards. for more exciting stories in videos check out our current here's some of what you'll find on our website. the ukrainian man goes truly wild planning to spend over a month living with a family of lions while blogging about his experience. also online and more than half a ton of radioactive blueberries have been found in moscow stores and find out more on this story and similar cases energy dot com. young russian boy has become a golf prodigy after being adopted by american parents but the biggest challenge
