10:01 am
a very warm welcome to you this is seen live from moscow now another plan to avoid a u.s. debt default has failed so paul street the senate democrats rejected a cut still proposed by the republicans with the clock ticking down to tuesday's deadline there's less time to find a way out of what president obama called the debt mess out of the rest of the into default crisis economists matzoh father of all for says all the proposals on the table are just putting all the worst outcome. 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
10:02 am
trough that our debt reduction plan that president obama has endorsed at least with horrifically 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 some 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 to mans of the republicans in these negotiations and therefore is possible it's 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 plan out there reduces the national debt they just change the speed by which it grows a u.s.

government that represents a need the nieces and equipped to deal with the ever well known problems say says that johnson entity from the u.s. based trans channel. the country is going bankrupt just a look at the numbers the numbers don't lie the politicians let's look at the bigger picture first of all the devaluing the dollar and we've been saying it all along gold in the last month has gained one hundred fifteen dollars an ounce of dollars crashing against the swiss franc and other currencies you can see what's going on and let's look at the bigger picture 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 that made fourteen billion dollars last year paying no taxes but there's plenty of room out there to start
10:04 am
raining this thing in and turning it around we do not have a representative form of government that's only for a little kiddies to believe 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 well that's from the ground we hit the streets the take out americans what they think that that. makes me wonder how they ever get anything done in israel or in italy or any place where they have multi parties to porteous to any employees if you include the two guys and we can't get anything done sometimes it takes one to. things really are the key ones in the american people want this america to work as well as it is there is anybody really what they really want. and. that trends in their nazis holding back on the only thing they've counted with

been camping out across the country for a week now calling for social justice and prime minister netanyahu to go and the biggest rally is expected to start in a matter of hours in tel aviv let's cross live there now to talk to. an independent journalist a blogger many thanks for being with us here on r.t. now you said in an article that you wrote the protests sprang up out of the blue almost overnight but surely the tensions in israel must have been brewing for quite some time to force people out onto the streets like this. yes the tension has been building up for the middle class but it was around mostly economical issues there have been some protests that involve petrol prices cheese prices and all this chain of cost of living protest which just has been the biggest so you're talking about anger raising the cost of everyday living every day. some people that we've been
10:10 am
speaking to on this channel have been drawing comparisons between what's happening now in israel and the protests that we saw taking place i'm not sure we were. well i think the arab revolution served as inspiration for some of the protesters and they're using slogans that were used in egypt or in other places but still. this is really is a lot to do with economical reason within the israeli society. then in the actual part of the torrent of protests around the middle east ceases to be economic situation within israel being felt by the middle classes you've also written about the fact that you believe israel stopped long ago being the welfare state that its founding fathers really dreamed of but why do you think that that's . exactly what happened is during the seventy's and eighty's.
10:11 am
left the well first great model and began to dream in. the cardiology and since then the gaps in society has waited tremendously this used to be one of the most equal societies in the west and now it's only second to the united states in the gaps between rich and poor and there his has been some outrage by the middle class about this issue but we never see him as protestants because of this one and a connection. do you think between israel's state problems that you've been talking about and the occupation on the palestinian territories the very unique in sternal struggles that we see taking place in israel today. but i don't think that this protest was affected directly from the geopolitical game or from the occupation but i think it will have effect on it and said that this is a real challenge for what has been so far the most stable government. in years now
10:12 am
and i think you know was able to maintain his coalition when it comes to the palestinian issue but even if he doesn't survive this challenge this would have serious a third song geo political game let's talk about the reaction of the government he say fossils taking place in israel you've also said that the government first dismissed these protesters as a spoilt kids situation it's really quite serious tell us it was so much space actually calling for a revolution do you think the government changing its position on how to react. yes i think the government is. there been improvising ever since this process started at the beginning it was to portray this as something that only happens in full of the bunch of spoiled kids but when this spread around the country. the new talking point is the protesters have some
10:13 am
serious she issues but it's not this government fault. i don't think the government has a real policy of easily disproved this right now i think that you know is mainly improvising and here is yet to come with something that would satisfy the needs of the protesters i'm not sure if he's actually able to do that or capable of that because you know it's the soup of fish and that is most than the new liberalism in israel both. in his first term as prime min. finance minister beginning of. this is really personally i'd. be interested to see how far his or her head they are he reacts once this protest in tel aviv gets under way there she's our independent journalism blogger better than speaking to us. thank you. now a little journalism a lot of the frequent findings of recent media surveys in the u.s.
10:14 am
as newspapers across the country close the p.r. machine is rushing to fill the vacuum. and find out what it may mean for society is the. person who did the five all of this little nuggets of newspapers like the seattle post intelligencer the rocky mountain news and hundreds more have now become relics from the past six years slashed budgets have stopped the presses at newsrooms nationwide. announced layoffs throughout media have meant far fewer journalists to investigate policy and procedure who are losing their sense of accountability in government and business are. life lives if we lose journalists who are now asking questions about what's going on in the numbers particularly dramatic with newspapers where revenue has been cut nearly
10:15 am
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 were trying to create their own story you have the public relations folks spin doctors if you will driving the cycle john nichols along with robert 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 your ex about terence's or the person who was sort of reporting to p.r. to skies as news the new pretty good as gold mimics press releases also often read
10:16 am
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 but we are putting into our program with some breaking news where corporate and government p.r. departments are filled with former journalists who know how to sell their message they understood our need you weren't what. reporters thought of as a good story as opposed to hype butch ward works for nearly twenty years as a journalist with the philadelphia inquirer but after layoffs he left to work for health insurer independent blue cross before returning to work as a journalist that revolving door between a pranced and p r the present governor. it's causing real concern about what the long term effects could be if the influx of spin doctors take over the message machine completely but there is very little journalism been done in an awful lot of
10:17 am
us didn't you create some dangerous circumstances for citizenry or democracy it's our go straight to 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 at bloomberg news so common such as a common practice and no one else no one is questioning. or in a time when hakken flack are often one in the same and the spin machine works overtime as the printing presses come to a halt the question becomes can a meaningful for the state actually survive. in washington christine for r.t. a full coverage of all top stories is available twenty four seven at dot com and

here's just some of what else is online few right now the spirit of robin hood arrives in central russia is of burbling of a scar on the breadline these needs the money under a note saying she should use the money to help herself also. an amazing tale of love on the delicacy of male swan in spanish to how his own young after a stray dog killed the mother the moral of the single father success and of course all all that he's long gone. equal access to education for children of different backgrounds may be a good idea but is getting a mixed response in india the government's unprecedented right to education and provide compulsory and free education for all children between six and fourteen
10:19 am
because india's tench results social divide is getting in the way is artie's issued a report. it's gone 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 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 part in some extra money maybe i haven't studied much that's why i wanted 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 and 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 cushy today there are just as many schools where students have to pay
10:20 am
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 demand their kids to school i mean sister like pushy can attend an elite private school if she entered 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 kids insist that aren't attending. schools like the ones pushing attends now could get overcrowded but the idea of free schooling in india has its opponents 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. it's a position supported by the well off members of indian society the schools are not meant for them. it's meant for the people who are close. to getting elected
10:21 am
in the sense that he comes from a very good on his own so it will be labelled as a work there were there. were doing him in that sort of. 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 start well from greece and become a teacher. but it's a dream the mage's fall through the gap of india's socio economic divide. preassure either r t new delhi india you can follow the latest developments on this story on our twitter feed. or call it pressure to reveals she's been speaking supposed rich and poor parents to find out what they think of the reforms she shares what many wealthy indians believe that children would be academically held back if there was
10:22 am
a quota for the poor while a school principal in a poverty stricken neighborhood told a he believes his judeans would never be able to compete in an elite private school keep up to date with the first one hundred. page school cop. and returning to our top story now the u.s. debt ceiling deadlock on the approach an august second deadline with a solution on the horizon health lest the president and find out whether people feel a 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 does that 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 i don't fret. i believe so do you expect more from the people you like. neither party is going to let this
10:23 am
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 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 viewpoints of they think that they're representing but i don't i think they can say the american people want this market where this. anybody really what they really want what he what i would like to compromise right now the drama right now is largely contrite 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 you know it's a good thing it's finally happening i think the people are speaking up and and
10:24 am
hopefully will get our way but sometimes it takes a while to realize how bad things really are i mean nobody is giving any ground i've seen no 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 portage 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 be a lot more posturing from all the politicians and it's. more uncertain news from across the globe now and may take. the story of three t.v. satellite dishes near the libyan capital tripoli was said to have been carried out in accordance with the u.n. resolution to protect people from government oppression through the media however
10:25 am
it's failed to knock libyan state television off there it's now been four months since nato his military campaign began looking government claims under the civilians have been killed in the air strikes. norway's royal palace and the headquarters of the ruling labor party were among other possible targets of a mass killer on those brevik also according to a prosecutor he spake to the media because it was questioned for a second time quietly it comes as the country continues to be the seventy seven victims of the bomb attack and six last night shooting us on a toy items. russian pilots taking it to the skies and small airplanes have long been grounded by unimaginable amounts of paperwork but recently adoption law has dropped some of the legal age clearing the runway for more frequent flights however many obstacles remain perforce the golden age for russia's small aviation enthusiasts and that has been explains. dozens of pilots
10:26 am
swing their way across russia for the second annual air show for most small aircraft enthusiastic the perfect chance to meet other pilots and to enjoy the beautiful southern scenery. it took us almost eight hours to get there the views with time turned stick and november last year russia and you all feel 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 gene 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 the paperwork with you during the flight now the rules have changed but there are third and 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 pain ridden we're going to
10:27 am
need a 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. for them as you can see there are many third 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 or 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 skies and that means that russia is missing out of 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 a mess we're losing around five hundred billion rubles annually if they were
10:28 am
recovered or. although for many pilots leaflets what's under this year's coupon air show are up to mystic about why it's a girl chrissie and the mother bring us with them while in the new year was just the first time he stepped the rest of the goods ahead of us but eventually we will learn how to fly again through russia's small aviation enthusiasts feel the broker see has served only to clip their weeks no hopes are high of seeing blue sky over the horizon tennis ball ski r t across the region up next the moscow i don't seen gets out of moscow where the guides have russia's all the capital a vast army back but ahead life just.
