opportunity for others and with money in short supply for companies in the west they're taking their operations and dollars to the cheap east. looks at how the american financial downturn has been great news for the indian economy. it's the great recession of the twenty first century what started as a collapse in the housing market in the united states has led to unemployment hunger and debt crises around the world and while countries are struggling to protect their interests increasingly western businesses are shifting their work east to cut costs welcome to guard down a modern suburb of new delhi everywhere you look there are options of american companies at the time of the importance the united states has placed on the country during the financial crisis according to the reports american companies have been production in that country as much as that in time in the past three years. care of corporations is a multi-billion dollar american heating and ventilation company they say that over

the past decade their business has shifted from being seventy percent u.s. base to just forty percent today removing consciously in that direction so the idea is to have a good balance it's not a bar being focused on one market or the other but having a good balance and all this me you know when merging markets like india china and asia as such continue to be for us globally. and carrier isn't alone according to the u.s. department of commerce the same number of jobs that have been cut from the united states in the last decade have been added to these companies overseas operations it's a phenomenon that angers many americans who are struggling to make ends meet i think it's despicable disgusting and we have people here that have worked here all of their lives in a losing jobs left and right because somebody on top wants to make a buck and pay the cheapest possible. dollars to go to stimulate the economy. i think are american companies should hire american workers. because of the

shrinking middle class and the fact that middle class wages are decreasing over the last thirty years so many. don't. do to me and i do think that is the wrong thing to do is. and it's not just manufacturing work american i.t. companies and innovation jobs are also moving here in droves as well as huge savings on wages many companies say india's fast growing economy and young workforce make it a desirable place to find staff there are amazingly talented people here in that part of the workforce and you know it's a matter of helping other other markets understand you know there are very talented people here who can do a lot of great work and it's not just about outsourcing and it's growth that these american companies don't anticipate will end any time soon within the markets we have a good old from the last forty years almost rebirth and that's last i think yes

british military would like to double the business before i use a confidence not often found among their colleagues in the west preassure either r t new delhi india. the want to see is threatening to veto the republicans plan to put a limit on u.s. debt congress speaker john boehner is willing to allow a higher level of debt but in return for massive cuts in public spending there is less than a week left to raise the country's multi-trillion dollar debt ceiling if it wants to avoid a potentially devastating default and president obama is concerned that down into spending cuts could affect the provision of medical care and social security in the years ahead bester in the author jim rogers says the political games are driving the country into a deep recession. they're not going to do anything serious they're going to announce something the day before the day ah but the day after and they're going to say everything is ok but in six months from now

a year from now america is going to be in worse shape than it is now they're going to continue to spin and drive us all deeper into debt we've been doing this for forty years it's not going to go anywhere but stock in shea's it out you know that does your leverage is near its all time high what kind of crisis is that when the financial markets are all fat and happy and most people well i mean yes there are people that are better despondent and suffering right now but that's not a crisis america's the largest debtor nation in the history of the world it's just getting worse. when covering low standards in high finance auntie's economic gurus like skies from stacey habits make their own fuel cost about where the u.s. financial tensions are heading you can watch the kinds of reports in fooling this out he's a tastefully. let's take these videos dizzy what america might look like the next rather the next time the deficit ceiling is hit here's india's parliament you see a nice brawl there. let's turn to the flu jab parliament. and then just for

memory intense bebop fires and the record heat waves were blamed for the dense smog that sent pollution levels soaring ten fold and was thought to have contributed to tens of thousands of deaths in the capital the authorities swore they would be prepared this year to find a place like this you don't have to go far from the capital this smoke is familiar to everyone who was in moscow last summer back then doctors said breathing in the smoke that covered the city was equivalent to smoking a pack of cigarettes every hour now the question on everyone's mind is whether the smog misery is back again pede bones may look harmless with just tiny flames on the surface but in fact every square meter requires a ton of water to extinguish the fire burning deep underground the value of that evidence why did it turn a small green peas beneath the surface may undermine or work. the authorities insist the situation is under control and most of the flies in the moscow region

have been successfully extinguished however campaigning state officials are underreporting the extent of the problem both around moscow and across the country . and the situation has made it worse by the bureaucrats instead of reacted swiftly it bent all the time concealing their formation about fires and does make it more difficult to get the bill on time but it would. campaigners say part of the problem is that the forests are being mistreated they say more needs to be done to prevent five by better management with summer at its peak remnants of camp fires are all across the forest despite advance introduced a month ago and there's only so much flinty is can do. when i was driving into the forest that in seeing it from getting a sign at all there is a huge tax cart at the entrance to the right. breaking heat of summer two thousand and ten resulted in devastating forest fires that killed sixty two people destroyed one hundred ninety nine towns and reduced city two hundred houses to ashes but

the fire was literally coming towards us we could hear the trees crackling they were burning and then hoose the wind blew it the other way that this year most of the country's advance was rain and the fires are raging once more large areas of forest have already been destroyed in russia's far east while parts of the north are already choking on small and with all the still to go russians from the capital to the countryside hope this summer sun won't be as deadly this time. r.t. moscow region. but there's a lot more to discover on our website at r.t. dot com despite the extreme hate shorts are getting out of fashion in russia's northern capital. for cults debate is heating up but even the threat of violence flushing a bit too much leg also online. to russian cities are rated among the

a worldwide competition for energy resources between the number one and the number two powers now energy users in the world and the fact that the united states has pretty much surrounded most of china with maces that go all the way from central asia to the north pacific that's the context in which this takes place. international top stories for this hour an asiana airlines cargo plane crashed into the sea about one hundred kilometers west of the south korean city of jejune both the pilots and copilots were killed contact with the plane was lost shortly off the coupon to mechanical difficulties but speculation that strong wind and rain may have caused the tragedy. israelis are reinforcing the northern border of the occupied golan heights syria with a one hundred twenty kilometer long fence eight kilometers have already been built the move comes after the last months of rest when hundreds of syrian and pro

palestinian protesters stormed the border. israel is checking all its contested borders ahead of the un vote in september on the recognition of a palestinian state. libya's foreign minister has described britain's decision to recognize the rebels and expel its diplomats as illegal and responsible government is also on freezing one hundred fifty million dollars of libyan oil assets to help fund the rebels letters ocean m.p. and peace campaigner jenny corbett said cain is trying to play the role of the judge and jury in the future of the north african state. is involved selves in a civil war between the government and the gadhafi regime in tripoli and i suspect this is going to run for a very long time and incredibly nasty and bloody and there are human rights abuses being reported on both sides including the treatment of african people by the

transitional government as well as the treatment of opposition people by the government of market f.e the reality on reality is a war for regime change and this is now been successful and i think that this is going to be subject to a lot of legal argument it's a very strange situation all round because britain formally recognized the government of gadhafi indeed we were providing arms and training for his forces until march of this year huge amount of trade with libya and indeed a vast amount of libyan investment in britain then the war started in libya britain and france joined in nato jointly and they persuaded the u.n. to pass one of the three which is allegedly a no fly zone and now they've decided they're going to switch horses and expel the diplomats from tripoli and replace them with the people from benghazi will seems to me that we are now deeply involved in the civil war in effectively trying to play judge and jury on the future of libya surely the future of libya is for the libyan

people the source not western arms. well it's been more than a thousand years since ancient russia was christianized and to mark the occasion top off talks officials in worshippers are gathering in the ukrainian capital let's see our show skis in kiev where the message started to spread the millennium ago. thousands have gathered in key of central monastery the key of the chest a lot of the one you can see over there behind me to attend the biggest liturgy the biggest service held by the head of the russian orthodox church but they have to deal with came over to the ukrainian capital to mark the celebrations of the christianization of ancient russia indeed a thousand and twenty three years ago. who was back then reigning in the key of adopted christianity he took several citizens of the key of to the waters of the river here in kiev and turned them into orthodox christians this is the biggest religious holiday for the believe years old across the post soviet space indeed

russia ukraine and belarus are celebrating this holiday and today it's thursday is the final day of the celebrations were understand that services and liturgy will be held everywhere across these countries and also this will become a native with bright colorful concerts later in the evening now indeed of course this is a very important for the history of russia that the country adopted orthodox christianity but that choice may well have been different and the beautiful monastery which you can see over there may have easily been a mosque because back then in the year nine hundred eighty eight delegates from all religions came over to key of two of the priests to offer their religion historians are still finding proper explanation why did lead even to choose orthodox christianity some even joke that just choice because the orthodox christianity in fact allowed people to drink wine well maybe this is a joke this is being debated by historians more likely that the choice for the

orthodox christianity was more geopolitical because. even wanted to have closer ties with the other european powers nevertheless this was a historical decision and believes all across the post of its base are celebrating this day. well there in this here the latest business update. i. allow and welcome to business here on r.t. now most people jetting off on their holidays this week probably aren't heading for the north caucasus but politically troubled russian region is barely on the tourist map however the government's hopes to change all that's as much in the courts never explains. the creation of new tourist destinations in the north caucasus is a key strategy of the russian government to bring economic revival to the trouble to region the sums involved have been raised several times but now it's predicted
