see. this is the line from moscow the democratic controlled u.s. senate has salt down a republican the debt ceiling plan just hours off to it was pos 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 along with a similar amount say in spending cuts and as the clock ticks down to a second when the debt limit is reached there's less time to make that come to an end to a default crisis which might call the u.s. navy's its credit rating senate democrat leader harry we now have his proposal with a compromise which could keep the government afloat and according to economists matts from wolf this plan is more likely to get the green lines. 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 twelfth hour the debt reduction plan that president obama has endorsed at least rhetorically that comes out of harry reid in 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 does 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. while the politicians battle the town saying he would be to blame a team american economy hits a brick wall charleston ente from the u.s. based trans general says the position he was recognized simple solution to america's deficit the country is going bankrupt just look at the numbers the numbers don't lie the politicians lied let's look at the bigger picture first of all they're devaluing the dollar and we've been saying that all along gold in the last month is deigned a hundred and fifteen dollars an ounce that's what they're not talking about and all this deficit reduction hey how about the military budget how about slashing foreign aid fifty seven billion dollars a year how is that out companies like general electric that made fourteen billion

dollars last year paying 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 when you can only see as punching america deep into crisis states has not kind to handle x. path and haste off the kaiser of course here on aussie. the world is adjusting the dollar will lose its status as a world reserve currency the 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 they 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 are like ireland that's lost its sovereignty to the i.m.f. or these other banking institutions i think most americans would prefer to be sovereign and free than to be a vassal state of international bankers. second deadline for raising the debt ceiling in the us is rapidly approaching and there's still no solution on the horizon or how often as the resident hit the streets to find out whether americans feel the financial collapse is around the corner. with the looming debt crisis the u.s. is watching the clock tick down to an economic armageddon what does that even mean that this week let's talk about that they keep setting dates over and over again

and nothing happened just the negotiation process i think so 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 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 representing the reports that they think they're representing but i don't i think they keep on saying the american people want this market want this but i don't think anybody really what they really want what do you want i would like compromise right now the drama right now is largely contrived 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 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 to parties to an airport if you include the two guys and we can't get anything done is utterly embarrass amish will be ashamed of themselves no matter what happens with the u.s. debt crisis the bottom line is we're. just the a lot more posturing from all the politicians involved it's. still to come here on the program uplifting expectation line your aim play russia just go to use the i was enthusiastic welcome the steps to free the country small

ask crawford outdated restrictions and this paper was. also more than a year has halted the indian government gave all children the right to a free education because it helped to bridge a social. and stony s.s. that trains a national as a holding that until meetings involved will they call it dave remembrance for those killed in world war two the gatherings been condemned by many countries and organizations for glorifying meltzer's them. as at the site of the gathering. we're here in this tiny a town a cinema for the annual gathering of the veterans of the a stain in waffen s.s. now the event has attracted widespread criticism of the is being seen to glorify naziism and providing for and near fascist ideas now the ceremonies going on at the moment and the organizers say that they use that as an opportunity to commemorate

the soldiers who fought against say here occupation but as we said this event attracting widespread criticism in the authorities here is saying you're being heavily criticized for being seen not only to condone this type of event but for having made it increasingly difficult over the years for those who oppose this to come face to rally now the anti fascist movements hold a rally very nearby at the same time as this is going on and as we said in recent years we've seen people coming from latvia from is the way in year from finland they've been detained at the borders and not being able to enter and take part again today coming in a lot of the people who are involved in the anti fascist movement rally that's happening nearby have been stopped and questioned by police we know that the head of the anti fascist finnish organization was actually detained last night at the port of thailand and he wasn't allowed to leave the bases so he's being sent back today. to participate in demonstration.

for liberation. of the border. the government. through the british. as he said these events really attracting widespread criticism now russia since two thousand and five has been introducing legislation to the un condemning the glorification of nazi isn't we've seen a number of countries get on board with this but there have been some that haven't events like this that have got the government support hair in a stadium certainly cause a lot of anger and at the very least is seen as being morally and politically insensitive. also discuss the events i'm now joined by professor tads xpress of the treatment of holocaust history in the baltics and many thanks for

being with us here in austin why is this meeting of fashion supporters allowed to go ahead in a stone yesterday. good to be with you it's a very sad day for a modern democratic stonier the government like those in the other baltic states is simply mission guided ultra nationalist pandering to the far right semitic anti russian pro fascist firewall fascist elements and it's a terrible mistake for the people of a stone here and the entire region and i suppose you're starting all foresees on that it's freedom of speech just interests and certainly the country isn't alone in allowing pro nazi marches to take place with similar scenes being witnessed in other baltic nations so why is this movement really flower showing in the region do you think i think we have to be careful not to blame the fine people of the region i think that the elites in the region government. press

intellectuals have been veering to the far right the ultra nationalists them and i'm not trying to read or write history in a way to cover up their own involvement and collaboration with naziism it's a spirit of his star revisionism that feeds right into the new role not sci fi right so it's a very dangerous development in the eastern part of. the european union let's talk more about history now your research project into the history of the holocaust is cold defending history exactly who will was all you defending it from we're defending history in two senses first of all we are defending the his star a record of the wonderful defeat of not system by the allies the united states great britain the soviet union and the other allies the defeat of hitler we're not allowing that magnificent achievement in western civilization to be written by the

neo fascists and their sycophants who would like to reduce everything to equal evils an equivalent totalitarian regimes and a stark model secondly we are defending the freedom to debate with the way media in two thousand and ten its parliament passed a law criminalizing the opinion that there was only one genocide in lithuania that by the nazis one can be in prison for up to two years for it is to reason with the government's version of history and how degree in two thousand and ten the government passed a law threatening three years of prison so it's incredible that democracy is being diminished on this very issue of its theory whereas the standard accepted and proven matter that if of world war two it's not only being discarded it's being criminalized and the free world must not stand i don't leap on so why do you think that the russians have the pos trough to resolutions to the un condemning the

glorification nonces and have been opposed by some nations to be frank it's part of the problem that the opposition to the far right in eastern europe seems to be coming only from russia which of course has its very complicated problematic history on its own is starting doorstep in its neighborhood in its region what is absolutely shocking. if that more voices have not come forward in the european union in north america against a far right revisionism i can tell you that the baltic states are investing a fortune in bringing in nyc westerners from western europe and north america for a visit through junkets for honors in order to persuade them of the new it's three supposedly have to equal totalitarian regimes so i think our movement has to grow and we also have to come back the fire efforts in the european parliament which in

two thousand and eight big group there proclaimed the prague declaration that declares naziism and communism to be the same thing which is absolute nonsense ok professor cats are afraid we're going to have to leave it there i expect the cheap holocaust history in the baltics many thanks thanks. now more than a year has possums the indian government announced the unprecedented right to education and the law was aimed at stamping out an interest in battling the country's ses he can only divide the concept was to provide compulsory and free education for all children aged six to fourteen however as the scope of the reform is facing a tough challenges. it's dawn in india's capital city of new delhi an eight year old cushy just wall is getting ready for school while 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 i made 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 elite private schools with tuitions nearing five hundred dollars per month to grant a quarter of their seats to students from disadvantaged backgrounds like cushy. and. 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 they met their needs to school that means a student 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 this is one that are at a time they were not 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 preschools have no art and quality and i think poor patrons are much smarter than that. and they want to quantity 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. these elite 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 digital 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 who. didn't get neglected in the sense that he comes from. his parents or probably be labeled as a what they were. putting him in that sort of 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 socio economic divide. preassure either r.t. new delhi india. and on a web page or call me can always get morning news stories and features his is a quick look at what's available for you right now i will log on to find out more

where revenue has been cut nearly in half while the journalism industry is shrinking the public relations industry 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 trying to create their own story you have the public relations folks the spin doctors if you will driving the news cycle john nichols along with robert mckee has me 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 staffed news stations often use company video news releases or vienne ours like this one if you have x. about characters are the first are going to show up because they need to apply p.r. to skies as news the new treatment is called mimics press releases also often read

enthusiasts dennis polaski explains. dozens of pilots winging their way across russia for the second annual cuban air show the most small aircraft enthusiastic supporter fictions to meet other pilots and to enjoy the beautiful southern scenery though. it took us almost eight hours to get their views with one term stick in november last year russia dumped 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 but 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 some through and sometimes even a third requirements for the pilots of small planes for instance even if the pilot

and the mechanic is the same burthen is no one has the main plane ridden with recommendation from one to another the new regulations allow the so-called notification 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 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. guys 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 sound parkar if the feel of the current regulations are in chaos and in that mess

we're losing around five hundred billion rubles annually if there were recovered however many pilots like the team that worked on that this year's scoop on air show are up to mystic about fighting the real chrissie model when you watch the mile and the new law was just the first in any step the rest of the globe's 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 now hopes are high of seeing blue sky on the horizon dennis followed ski r.t.e. across the region. that with updates of the headline shall be stable.
