for the full slate we've got it from. the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers on. the torpedo affected democrat led senate killed republican debt ceiling plan shortly after it was narrowly passed by the house as u.s. default deadline looms. ultraconservative islamist wellman egypt's tahrir square demanding surreal draw out in the wake of revolution spreading in the region israelis take the streets to protest for social justice. as a number of journalists in the u.s. decreases the public with nation sector grows rapidly some say the ultimate victim of the trend to democracy.

with day here in moscow this is r.t. world news twenty four hours a day work the democrat controlled u.s. senate has shot down a republican debt ceiling plan just hours after it was passed in the house of representatives the plan put forward by house speaker john boehner would have raised the country's debt ceiling by nine hundred billion dollars and then with a similar amount and spending cuts as the clock ticks down to august second when the debt limit is reached there is less time to avert an unprecedented default crisis which might probably westerlies its top notch credit rating senate democrat leader harry reid hopes his proposal see a compromise which could keep the government afloat and according to economist max fraud wolf this plan is more likely to get the green light. less than two business days away from the worst self-imposed crisis of america's standing in the world and

america's credit rating and at least a century it's a fairly emergency situation and we're deep into the eleventh bordering on the trough our debt reduction plan that president obama has endorsed at least rhetorically that comes out of harry reid and the democratic majority in the u.s. senate does make massive cuts in spending more than two point five trillion dollars over ten years so more than two hundred fifty billion dollars a year because no increase in revenue at all which was one of the early if i think somewhat unwise demands of the republicans in these negotiations and therefore is possible is actually does more to reduce the deficit and the debt in the united states over the next ten years than the rival republican house plan the cut cap and balance plan and so it's possible that that could be pushed through none of these plans make real efforts to reduce the long term problem of insufficient revenue and these plans do reduce spending in ways that will be painful and for many

communities in the united states transformative but it's worthy of note and somehow hasn't much been mentioned that not a single plant out there reduces the national debt they just change the speed by which it grows by the politicians. who would be to blame if they meant an economy hits a brick wall so solenn tape from the u.s. face transgender says the political elite recognize simple solutions to america's deficit. that country is going bankrupt just look at the numbers the numbers don't lie the politicians it looks look at the big picture first of all the dollar and we've been saying it all along gold in the last month is gained one hundred fifteen dollars an ounce 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 about companies like general electric they want the billion

dollars last year pay no taxes but there's plenty of room out there who start reigning this thing in and turning it around and 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 perks for economic interest see it's plunging america deep into crisis since as much kinds of financial experts and most of the closer portero. of the world is adjusting the dollar will lose its status as a world reserve currency the u.s. 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 out as by somebody who knew something about economics and not barack obama 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 in tact otherwise america will end up like greece losing their

sovereignty america will end up like other countries in the euro zone like ireland that's lost its sovereignty to the i.m.f. and these other backing institutions i think most americans would prefer to be sovereign and free than to be a vassal state of international bankers. but august second deadline for raising the debt ceiling is rapidly approaching and still no solution on the horizon but take a rest and hit the streets of new york to find out whether americans feel a financial pocalypse is around the corner. with a looming debt crisis the u.s. is watching the clock tick down to an economic armageddon what is even need this week let's talk about that big dates over and over again and nothing happened just . so i don't read. i believe so do you expect more from the

people you like. neither party is going to let this actually happen where they would let it expire and then the united states we 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 in there 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 don't represent the records or they think that they were representing but i don't i think they keep on saying the american people want us american they want does. anybody really what they really want what you want i would like compromise right now the drama right now is largely contrite there is a debt crisis but we'll 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 you know it's a good thing it's finally happening i think the people are speaking up and 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 and we go to parties to an airport. and we can't get anything done it's utterly embarrassing mishal be ashamed of themselves no matter what happens with the u.s. debt crisis the bottom line is we're bound to the a lot more posturing from all the politicians and it's. come on the program lifting expectations. like. easy c.c.s. well the first steps to free the country. thank you mr actions. and endless paperwork

. more than a year has passed since the indian government announced the unprecedented rights to education act the law was aimed at stamping out illiteracy and battling the country's social economic divide concept was to provide compulsory and free education for all children aged six to fourteen well he's reassuring discovered reform is facing tough challenges. it's gone in india's capital city of new delhi an eight year old cushy just getting ready for school ball there are nearly two hundred million elementary school children like cushy 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 maker 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 a leap private schools with tuitions nearing five hundred dollars per month to grant a quarter of their seats to students from disadvantaged backgrounds like cushing. and. i am young. today there are just as many schools where students have to pay it's russian like this one as there are three fools that are funded by the government according to the act it's up to the parents to decide where they mend their kids to school i mean sister like course she can attend an elite private school if she enters and wins the lottery and gets into the twenty five percent quota it also means that if government workers are able to identify and successfully enroll kids this is all that are attending 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 our free schools have not assaulted and quality and i think poor parents are much smarter than that. and they want to be 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 it integrating indian children from a lower class. into a private school would not be practical. basically in schools have a very high standard only children 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 on educators even at home there is no one to tutor or supervise their studies or homework it's a position supported by the members of indian society the schools are not meant for them. it's meant for the people who've. been getting elected in the

sense that he comes from a background his parents are probably laborers or whatever they're. putting him in that sort of fit into i mean so he would have trouble getting assimilated in spite of the next first option the integration model received for children like cushy education is simply about accomplishing her dreams i want to study to twelfth grade ten become a teacher i i but it's a dream that may just fall through the gap of india's socioeconomic divide i. pretty sure there are teen new delhi india. tens of thousands of protesters gathered in egypt's tahrir square one of the biggest rallies since president barak was overthrown five months ago largest group in attendance for conservative muslims calling for the introduction of surreal rule journalist and blogger austin macko who's in khara says the arab spring has produced a strong and divisive is the most movement gave was

a sign that the rule islam is forces would come together to continue to push basic democratic rights down in the square i was just before i came here is a huge number of. muslim brotherhood members. and day out there's been a chance of. islamic. nature of egypt would just cause some friction with. secular. normally. on the run it is good in there for a month since the clashes that. they. want to show rest is also taking place in neighboring israel thousands of young protesters pitched tent camps across the country cities for social justice voicing discontent government policies but

a mass rallies planned for saturday should be attended by both students and professionals where we can cross staff so fair one of the main protest organizers to get more on the story thank you for joining us here in our to another protest movement doesn't seem as yet produced a clear list of demands are leading many to view the demonstrations as really following the great pollution the trend set by egypt and tunisia is that the case. we actually do have a clear list of demands. this process is a very unique process in that sense because it's not organized by any organization or any political party it's a process that was organized by the people when we started it and we had no idea what size and strength it's actually going towards and but we do have a demand the demand is what everybody has as as a dream for the ideal country you want to be

a part of people talk about social justice and in this process started as a as a protest about housing about the fact that we don't have a place to live even if we work full time in full time jobs and we don't come from low socio economic families we're still so i have we can't really see our future in terms of how thin or education or health because all of these things that are so basic in our lives done exist anymore in this society so everybody could actually. feel the same like like the people who started these protests and at the moment it's the biggest social movement that ever started in israel. and when people scream in the streets we want social justice so people talk about about public education that is actually very good and about public health like health and because public health i mean for i wonder what english was for that. but it's

a little heated a language with a sleeping with a lawn if it is the biggest protest movements or how serious is the situation for the prime minister and his government could this pressure even talk albany minutes earlier. well you can see that night in the hour is under big pressure he wasn't prepared for such kind of movements as a monitor actually our biggest fear is that netanyahu been so afraid of what's going to happen we'll start a war somewhere because that's the situation in israel we're used to be part of this big war zone we're in we're not allowed to talk about the way we live because we're always under pressure we always under a certain threat and that's what people want to change now they want to say ok so there are threats and we are in a spin very very big problems with the countries around us and with the palestinians but still there are things that we have to solve and the situation

outside of israel is also related to what happened here between us between our citizens you mentioned palestinians there could there be a connection between israel social problems and occupation of the palestinian or salt autonomy or water your opinion has triggered this unrest. well of course there's a connection because when we have when you have a society where people keep fighting with each other don't talk just about israeli with the moment and there used to be in a certain struggle longer so so of course there are problems with other communities as well. and as we saw after discovered yesterday there was a protest in jenin and the palestinian territories. of believe are at sea with the protesters here so of course something happened and there was a secular and religious stance that started in the north of israel story of

religious religious jews and arabs from we live in the same community but they never talk to each other so you see the changes because once you see people come together and they stick together in those tents all over the country at the moment we have there is a chance. in israel and it just go in and people come together and they talk and they can just talk and live with each other so they realize that we can have a different society here and how it started i would actually think you poll people and read about it know it was an interim change how will people in israel react if the government fails to address the issues which you're talking about which sparked this public backlash. what i can hear and so yes i'll repeat that i mean how will the people in israel in general react if the government doesn't do anything about what you're saying doesn't

do anything about it i don't think there's a chance of that happening because. the demand at the moment is just too strong you see. you see everybody in the street and you see people from all kinds of of sectors and ages and today we have such a strong voice together and it's one voice and i think that everybody is aware that nobody is going to to take their tents back home and forget about this process because i think what happened here is that people realize that they can dream that it's ok to dream that it's ok to ask for a different future. it's something that we didn't have before and then for many many years and now people are industry and they're not embarrassed and they're not ashamed to say that they have a dream and that's what they want and that's the place where they want to live and they want to live happily and we have that now so nobody can take it back from us

ok leave it there show ferrera thank you very much indeed for joining us a lot to thank you. well that on our web site artie dot com you can always get more on that and other news stories and features here's a quick look at what's available few online right now go go and find out more about america's ghost town and state of indiana and compare it to post a regulation chernobyl. and there c.c.t.v. footage from central oslo where a deadly terrorist bomb was detonated i mean death and destruction are the videos from that tragic day of the bodies for it's available here on the huge. news today violence is once again flared up. in these are the images the world in

seeing from the streets of kenya that. giant corporations rule today. recent polls show the number of journalism rolls in the u.s. is shrinking and direct contrast expanding public relations industry as newspapers across the country clients professional journalists are being picked up out of p.r. machine christine for zara's being finding out why do some journalists might be a threat to democracy is the end of the personnel for the look of all this is how this little soldier through the newspapers like the seattle post intelligencer the rocky mountain news and hundreds more have now become relics from the past. slash budgets have stops the presses at newsrooms nationwide. and mass layoffs throughout media have meant far fewer journalists to investigate policy and

procedure who are losing their sense of accountability in government in business in our. life lives if we lose journalists who aren't asking questions about what's going on and the numbers particularly dramatic with newspapers where revenue has been cut nearly in half while the journalism industry is shrinking the public relations in just three is expanding at one time a one to one ratio between p.r. employees and journalists today that ratio is four to one with p.r. revenues jumping from three point five billion to eight point seven billion dollars journalists are simply overwhelmed by folks who are trying to spin them or trying to create their own story you have the public relations folks spin doctors if you will driving in the cycle and john nichols along with robert mcchesney wrote a book about it the death and life of american journalism in

a sense we are becoming one of the most propagandized countries in the world short staff news stations often use company video news releases or vienne ours like this one if your characters are the first or been filled up through p.r. to sky's as news the new treatment is called mimics press releases also often read on the air or posted on the web before any fact checking is done with the focus often on getting it first rather than getting it right good evening everybody breaking news tonight we are heading into our program with the breaking news where the corporate and government p.r. departments are filled with former journalists who know how to sell their message understood al need you worked what. we saw those good story as opposed to hype which ward worked for nearly twenty years as a journalist with the philadelphia inquirer but after layoffs he left to work for

health insurer independence blue cross before returning to work as a journalist that revolving door between france and p r a present govern. it was a real concern about what the long term effects could be if the influx of spin doctors take over the message machine complete with there is very little journalism be done in an awfully lot of spin you create some dangerous circumstances for citizenry for democracy itself august data questions white house spokesman jay carney worked for twenty years as a journalist for time magazine now he's president obama's spokes person former broadcaster and columnist tony snow went on to serve as a spokesperson for president bush and jamie rubin went from the state department under president clinton to executive editor. so common so it is a common practice and no one at no one is questioning anymore in a time when how can flag are often one in the same and the spin machine works

overtime as the printing presses come to a halt the question becomes a meaningful for the state actually survive. in washington christine for r.t. plus about international top stories for you they tell commanders say they've destroyed three t.v. satellite dishes that libyan capital tripoli statement says the attack was carried out in accordance with the u.n. resolution to protect people from government oppression through the media for months since the nato air force operation in libya can carry around seventeen thousand missions up and flown is the libyan government's claim of kill hundreds of civilians. and nato convoy in the north of serbia has had to turn back from its intended route after a crowd of protesters blocked its path hundreds barricaded the road in response to the alliance taking control of two checkpoints up close the border with serbia on thursday nato troops have moved in after

a series of clashes between course of the police and protesters who control the crossings. russian pilots taking to the skies in small airplanes being grounded by an unimaginable amount of paperwork but to drop some of the eagle those clearing the runway for more frequent flights however many obstacles remain before it's the golden age progressions aviation the easiest. reports. dozens of pilots going their way across russia for the second annual cooper on air show the most small aircraft enthusiastic the perfect chance to meet other pilots and to enjoy the beautiful scenery. because almost eight hours to get their views were fantastic in november last year russia adopted a new law for small aircraft pilots it sounds very promising abolishing much of the preflight paperwork letting the plight let's 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 wide now the rules have changed but there are still some third and sometimes even absurd requirements for the pilots of small planes for instance it will have a pilot and the mechanic is the same person you know has the main thing. will come in they phone from one to another the new regulations allow the so-called beautification 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 plants 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 organisations issue all sorts of contradictory instructions for pilots

it's a major disincentive for pilots to make the effort to take to the sky. and that means that russia is missing out on the potential pot of gold will some countries like the u.s. get julien's of dollars from small aircraft fees and taxes russia doesn't get a sound. of current regulations are in chaos and in a mess we're losing around five hundred billion rubles and your your. mother or whatever many pilots like what this year's air show are up to mystic about fighting the real chrissie and. the new deal was just the first of many steps there is to the goods ahead of us but eventually we will learn how to fly again russia's small aviation enthusiasts feel the broker see has served only to clip their weeks no hopes are high of seeing blue sky on the horizon. r.t.e. crossed the region. and as those flying high in point new technology to facilitate
