it's transformative but it's worthy of note and somehow hasn't much been mentioned that not a single plan out there reduces the national debt they just change the speed by which it grows while the politicians battle it down to who would be to blame if the american economy hits a brick wall so so then say from the us space trends journal says the political elite recognize simple solutions to curb america's deficit the country is going bankrupt just look at the numbers the numbers don't lie the politicians lied but let's look at the bigger picture first of all they devaluing the dollar and we've been saying it all along gold in the last month has gained one hundred fifteen dollars an ounce that's what they're not talking about in all this deficit reduction hey how about the military budget how about slashing foreign aid fifty seven billion dollars a year how is that companies like general electric that made fourteen billion

dollars last year paying no taxes there's plenty of room out there to start raining this thing in and turning it around we do not have a representative form of government we have a government that represents only the very powerful and the very rich and that's all this is about letting them keeping their parks. economic illiteracy is plunging america deeper into crisis so says monks kinds of financial expert and host of the kaiser report. but the world is adjusting the dollar will lose its status as a world reserve currency us debt will lose the aaa rating and it's a complete different configuration and washington is not the biggest player in this if they were being mad as shit by somebody who knew something about economics not barack obama who's financially illiterate they would allow the dollar to collapse against other currencies let the economy go through two or three years of a gut wrenching depression and come out of it and rebuild but keep their sovereignty intact otherwise america will end up like greece losing their

sovereignty america will end up like other countries and they rose and like ireland that's lost its sovereignty to the i.m.f. in these other banking institutions i think most americans would prefer to be sovereign and free than to be a vassal state of international bankers. orchestra second deadline for raising the debt ceiling in the us is rapidly approaching and there's still no solution on the horizon but we hope for this ok the rest in the streets of new york to find out whether americans feel the financial collapse is around the corner. with the looming debt crisis the us is watching the clock tick down to an economic armageddon what is that even mean this week let's talk about that big keep that it dates over and over again and nothing happened just the negotiation process so it's i don't brag. i believe so do you expect more from the people you elect.

neither party is going to let this actually happen where they would let it expire and then the united states would go into default i don't think that's going to happen i think that's a bluff but i think what actually is at hand is for real and they're they're using it as leverage to push their respective issues but i think americans if i'm speaking for myself as an american are sick of it or they did represent a few boards that they think that they were representing but i don't i think they keep on saying the american people want this american people want this but i don't think they're asking anybody really what they really want what do you what i would like to compromise right now the drama right now is largely contrived there is a debt crisis but will make it through and you know we'll pay the bills and things will be fine so all this drama i think is just making people crazy why are they doing that now i mean we raise the debt ceiling every year why is this drama unfolding right now well it's largely political because the upcoming election to know it's a good thing it's finally happening i think the people are speaking up. and

hopefully will get our way but sometimes it takes a while to bad things really are i mean nobody is given any ground of so you know you log before for many many years and this is absolutely truly amazing and makes me wonder how they ever get anything done in israel or in italy or any place where they have multi parties i mean we've got two parties to an airport if you include the two guys and we can't get anything done it's utterly embarrassing this will be ashamed of themselves no matter what happens with the u.s. debt crisis the bottom line is we're bound to see a lot more pasturing from all the politicians involved as. well still to come on the program uplifting expectations. to use it as a. first steps to free the country's small craft from taking restrictions on this paperwork. also more than

a year has passed since the indian government gave children a right to free education has it helped to bridge essential divide. tens of thousands of protesters gathered in egypt's tahrir square one of the biggest rally since president mubarak was overthrown five months ago the largest group in attendance ultraconservative muslims calling for the introduction of sharia law journalist and blogger austin michael is in cairo says the arab spring has produced a strong and divisive islamist movement they unity and it was a sign the liberal islam is forces were going to come together to continue their push for sort of basic democratic rights but down in the square i was just down a little before i came here this is a huge number of. muslim brotherhood members it's deadly the most just lovely.

time that i've been here and they there's many chants of. islamic identity this is the islamic nature of egypt which is cause some friction with. the secular forces who are normally does it you know forces dominate they're the ones who run the running it sit in there for a month since the clashes that happened at the end of june but today. the islamists . but a similar show of unrest is taking place in neighboring israel thousands of young protesters pitched tent camps across the country cities calling for social justice and voicing discontent at government policies and mass rallies planned for saturday . israeli journalist. predicts israel is edging closer to revolution. two thirds of the poor in israel are working poor people who are working every day people who have a great jobs and still are not able to go above the poverty level so that's the reason that people are coming out of the street if you look at how the protesters

started it's almost identical to how it started in egypt and internees and other places started through facebook somebody who made a post on facebook through social media that's how people organize or was organized completely in the beginning by the young people in israel student people who feel that they have no future people who feel who can't afford living here and i was realizing that this is not the way to go forward and he's trying to figure out ways to deal with it because the government could definitely fall its role and these are ground and i think he is in danger especially that the process in the wrong while israel has been under a building in tel aviv in haifa in all these major cities in israel is or have been overbuilding in the west bank focus of the israeli government at the moment is more sustaining the occupation and more sustaining the settlement rather than caring for the majority of the population who actually oppose that the lands and oppose occupation and israel proper so that the problem here though is a still many israelis have not been able to make that connection and the more and

the sooner israelis make that connection realize that declaration affects their daily life affects the pennies that the government spending the money the government spending in the west bank verses in israel i think you will see a real revolution in israel. more than a year has passed since the indian government announced the unprecedented rights to education act the law was aimed at stamping out of literacy in battling the country's economic divide the concept was to provide compulsory and free education for all children aged six to fourteen however as artie's discovered the form is facing tough challenges. it's dawn in india's capital city of new delhi an eight year old cushy just getting ready for school while there are nearly two hundred million elementary school children like coaching in india only half that number ever complete the eighth grade most end up leaving school to help their parents with domestic work or to get

a job to bring in some extra money maybe but i haven't studied much that's why i want to educate my children after growing pressure to address the educational disparities in india the government passed an act making it mandatory for all children between the ages of six and fourteen to get a free education even requires elite private schools with tuitions nearing five hundred dollars per month to grant a quarter of their states to students from disadvantaged backgrounds like cushy. today there are just as many schools where students have to pay a choice unlike this one as there are free schools that are funded by the government according to the act it's up to the parents to decide where their kids to school that means a student like cushy can attend an elite private school if she enters that awareness the lottery and gets into the twenty five percent quota it also means

that if government workers are able to identify and successfully enroll this is cool but are at a time doing that just schools like the ones pushing attendance now could get overcrowded but the idea of free schooling in india has its opponents with concerns even raised by proponents of the act schools have no art and quality and i think. much smarter than that. and they want quality and quality is something that the principal of cushy school knows has a different definition depending on the school while the teachers want to see their students succeed they believe that integrating indian children from a lower class. into a private school would not be practical. it's going to have a very high standard only juden whose parents are educated can study in schools like these schools want to maintain their high standards and reputation how can poor people send their children to schools like these because their parents are an educator even at home there is no one to tutor or supervise their studies or

homework it's a position supported by the well off members of indian society the school is not meant for them. it's meant for the people the people at the beginning elected in the. background his probably be labelled as a what they were there. were things him to fit into i mean so he would have trouble getting assimilated in spite of the mixed reception the integration model received for children like cushy education is simply about accomplishing her dreams i want to study to the twelfth grade ten become a teacher. but it's a dream that may just fall through the gap of india's socioeconomic divide. preassure either r t new delhi india. on our web page on t. dot com you can always get more news stories of features as a quick look at what's available few right now online only to find out more about

us almost eight hours to get their views with time turned steak in november last year russia docked at a new war for small aircraft pilots it sounds very promising abolishing much of the preflight paperwork letting the pilots use new airfields and generally adopting international flight rules it's a dream for any plane owner in russia however not all of the old restrictions were lifted back in the soviet times you actually had to have all the paperwork with you during the flight now the rules have changed but there are still some through and sometimes even up third requirements for the pilots of small planes for instance even if the pilot and the mechanic in the same berth and you know has the main plane with her come in they phone from one to another the new regulations allow the so-called notification mode instead of asking for permission for takeoff from the authorities in theory the pilots can now use the internet for air traffic control of their plans but in reality it rarely works. as you can see there are many forbid

in all restricted zones around moscow so it's impossible for us to use notification mode anywhere within a two hundred kilometer radius of the capital even with the new law dozens of government organizations issue all sorts of contradictory instructions for pilots it's a major disincentive for pilots to make the effort to take to the skies and that means that russia is missing out on the potential pot of gold will some countries like the u.s. get billions of dollars from small aircraft fees and taxes russia doesn't get a cent. of the current regulations are in chaos and in that mess we're losing around five hundred billion rubles annually. the cover of the many pilots like that what this year scoop on air show are up to mystic about fighting the real chrissie. the new always just the first time any step the rest of the world is ahead of us but eventually we will learn how to fly again russia's small aviation
