india is available to move go and join people to the isle of villas the gateway to the grand imperial through the george was bush coromandel new kind of fertile socialism that you see don't need to go. right this is the kernel was her child as used to retreat. talky they were effective democrat led senate kills republican debt ceiling plan shortly after it was narrowly passed out of house as u.s. default deadline looms. cultural conservative islamists overwhelm egypt's tahrir square demanding sharia law but in the wake of revolution spreading in the region israelis take to the streets to protest social justice. as the number of journalists in the us decrease its population sector grows rapidly some say the ultimate victim of the trend will be democracy.

world news and much more twenty four seven you're watching r.t. the democratic controlled u.s. senate has shot down a republican led debt ceiling plan just hours after it was passed in the house of representatives the plan put forward by house speaker john boehner would raise the country's debt ceiling by nine hundred billion dollars and then with a similar amount in spending cuts as the clock ticks down to the second the debt limit is reached there's less time to avert an unprecedented default crisis which might prompt us to lose its top notch credit rating for senate democratic leader harry reid hopes his proposal would see a compromise which could keep the government afloat under according to economist next 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 that 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 of 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 plan out there reduces the national debt they just change the speed by which it grows while the politicians. who would be to blame if the american economy hit something cool so cement a from the u.s. space trends journal says the political elite will recognize simple solutions to could america's deficits. the country is going bankrupt just look at the numbers the numbers don't lie the politicians rise but let's look at the bigger picture first of all 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 would that out companies like general electric

a fourteen billion dollars last year pay no taxes look 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 perks but economics editor see a sponge in america do you think a crisis since as much kinds of financial expert and host all kinds of reports aired out. 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 managed by somebody who knew something about economics and not barack obama who is 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 they come out of it and rebuild but and keep their

sovereignty intact otherwise america will end up like greece losing their sovereignty america will end up like other countries in a rolls oh might ireland that's lost its sovereignty to the i.m.f. and he's other backing institutions i think most americans would prefer to be sovereign and free than to be a vassal state of international bankers for the longest second deadline for raising the debt ceiling in the us is rapidly approaching and still no solution on who runs a little home for mistaking the resident in the streets of new york to find out whether americans feel the financial apocalypse is around the corner. with the looming debt crisis the u.s. is watching the clock tick down to an economic armageddon what is there even mean this week let's talk about that they keep setting dates over and over again and nothing happens just the negotiation process i think it's idle threat. 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 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 don't represent your boards or they think that they're of representing but i don't i think they keep on saying the american people want this america to win because they're asking anybody really what they really want what do 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 has given any ground i've seen a large 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 party it's america to portage to an airport if you include the two guys and we can't get anything done it's utterly embarrassing to should 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 posturing from all the politicians and. still to come on the program uplifting expectations flying your own plane in russia just go easier that's easy yes work on the first steps to free the country small aircraft out taking strictures on interest paid work.

also more than a year has passed since the indian government gave all children the right to free education has it helped to bridge a social divide. in estonia s.s. veterans and nationalist are holding their annual meeting to mark what they call a paper membranes for those killed in world war two the gathering has been condemned by many countries and organizations for glorifying nots isn't finished human rights activists you know hundreds has been prevented by this from entering a stand to participate in the anti nazi rally he says it's a sign that holland tolerate snots and. support to a party. they can. all sort of rationing but. i will say. look the border of.

the union government is appropriate. for the british. precisely. right. to miss and around the world and they are using their youth was because. mainly mainly a celebration of. the troops. rather the skies the event oh we're joined by elaine a hit and from the finish and the fascist committee thank you for joining us here in l a t r the historian prime minister has stated that the s.s. meeting has nothing to do with nazi ideology what's your view on that. the agree or because we all nor the mean i agree. each green and outrageous that the it is. not on the in the or

right on it. so now they have also been s.s. and national smart she's and other baltic states why do you think the movement seems to be so prominent in these countries. nationally and if you are all tools or is are only basically in the uk and in the e.u. so all the tools for the national. in all the country. and while of course they have very many hi there or hike or likely end up in it. but the other have also been reports the anti fascist groups have been prevented from protesting near the controversial meeting

while dystonia authorities take this position. well. you get the only man who. called me up and of course all of the stockport or is. the it now be it. so very accurate but. now russia has been trying to put forward draft resolutions to the un general assembly condemning the glorification of nazis and but it's been voted against a number of countries why's that. well it united nations and european union so they're going on the right of the ball. and all. and was the fortification of p. three and because european union have you feel loved and weak. that european union can all only relieve themselves of the right wing extremism which is rising now in

going up and we were all. lacking or if one an example of that i do think that this is an attempt to rewrite history. it is getting it reports are getting a piece of the really big it is kind of a. very well the country. will only need the or who soviet union and now to germany and the rest of europe is because they are not they don't understand the history they don't know of the fact that at any rate equal to leave each total big and bigger and he story so it is getting worse year by year even not like it or is that their government is doing nothing but supporting it and i think now the great. ok we'll leave it there linda hirshman from the finish and the fascist committee thank you for joining us here at r.t. . well tens of thousands of protesters gathered

in egypt's tahrir square one of the biggest rally since president mubarak was overthrown five months ago a lot of scrutiny attendance for ultra conservative muslims calling for the introduction of sharia law journalist and blogger austin marco was encouraged says the arab spring has produced a strong and diverse of islamist movement gave was a sign that liberal islamist forces are going to come together to continue their. basic immigrate rights down in the square i was just. came here is a huge number all. muslim brotherhood members of the most islamic countries where has the. time that i've been and they there's many chance of. islamic identity this islamic nature of egypt which has caused some friction.

for secular. leaders think you look also. look they're the ones who run the the running is sitting there for a month since the clashes at the end of june but today a. show of unrest is also taking place in neighboring israel pounds of young protesters pitched tent camps across the country cities calling for social justice and voicing this content of government policies for mass rallies planned for saturday palestinian israeli journalist. predicts israel is edging closer to resolution. two thirds of the poor in israel are working poor people who are working everyday people who have a great job and still are not able to go above the poverty level so that's a reason that people are coming out of the street and if you look at how the protest they 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 his old student people who feel that they have no future people who feel who can't afford living here and if any i was realizing that this is not the way to go forward he's going to figure out ways to deal with it because the government could definitely fall its role in these the ground and i think he is in danger especially that the process while israel has been under a building interloper even when all these major cities in israel is all have been overbuilding in the west bank focus of the israeli government at the moment is more sustaining the occupation and more sustaining the seventy rather than caring for the majority of the population who actually oppose the lands and oppose occupation and its role cropper so that the problem here though is the still many israelis have not been able to make that connection and a more and the sooner israelis make that connection realize that the accusation 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. for more than a year since the indian government announced the unprecedented rights to education that the law was aimed at stamping out in this recession that country's economic divide the concept of i thought pulse free and free cation for all children aged six to fourteen however as teens discover reform is facing some 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 schools to help their parents with domestic work or to get a job to program some extra money maker i haven't studied much that's what 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. today there are just as many schools where students have to pay a choice unlike this one as there are three schools that are funded by the government according to the act it's up to the parents to decide where they met their needs to school i mean sister like course she can attend an elite private school if she enters that 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 in this is that are attending schools like the ones pushing

attend now could get overcrowded but the idea of free schooling in india has its opponents with concerns even raised by proponents of the act free schools have no arts assaulted in quality and i think poor parents are much smarter than that want to be and they want to be and quality is something that the principal of cushy school knows has a different definition depending on the school well 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 work in a boy these elite schools 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 educators even as 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 are close to. the getting elected in the

sense that he comes from a background his parents are probably be able to do what they were there and were doing him in that sort of fit into i mean so he would have trouble getting similitudes 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 the twelfth grade and become a teacher. but it's a dream that may just fall through the gap of india's socio economic divide. preassure either r t new delhi india. website dot com you can always get more on our stories and pictures as a quick look at what's on line right now just a click away if you log on there you can find out more about america's ghost town in the state of indiana nothing compared to the post evacuation chernobyl. and c.c.t.v.

russian pilots taking to the skies and small airplanes have long been grounded an unimaginable amount of paperwork but recently a door has dropped some of the legal road clearing the runway for more frequent flights over many obstacles to remain before it's the golden age for russians he says that's disgusting expects. dozens of toilets their way across russia for the second annual one air show for most small aircraft enthusiastic perfect chance to meet other pilots and to enjoy the beautiful southern scenery. he took us almost eight hours to get their views with time turned sticking in november last year russia drafted a new law for small aircraft pilots it sounds very promising abolishing much of the preflight peeper work letting the client 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 all the restrictions

were lifted back in the soviet times you actually had to have all this paperwork with you during the flight now the rules have changed but there are still sometimes even a third requirements for the pilots of small planes for instance even if the pilot and the mechanic in the same burthen will have the main thing in. the coming days and from one to another the new regulations allow the so-called looks of a cation boat 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 through bit 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. take to the skies and that means

that russia is missing out of 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 like our. current regulations are in chaos or right and in that mess we're losing around five hundred billion rubles annually if you will recover for however many pilots like what's up to this year's coupon air show or up to mystic occult quite a girl chrissy from a brain washed up and wiling the new year was just the first time he stepped the rest of the girls ahead of us but eventually we will learn how to fly again russia's small aviation enthusiasts feel the bureaucracy has served only to clear their weeks now hopes are high of seeing blue sky on the horizon tennis ball ski r.t.e. crossed the region. great stuff about it actually hit the headlines they changed.
