in violent troublemakers to discredit the uprising that's already be compared to the arab spring revolves. welcome you're watching r.t. for moscow with me kevin owen it's now nine pm here in our top story another plan to avoid a u.s. debt default has failed to pass through the senate after democrats rejected a cut bill proposed by the republicans so with the clock ticking down to choose days deadline there's less time than to find a way out of what president obama's called a mess and avert an unprecedented default crisis economist max fred wolf told us all the proposals on the table are just putting off the worst. 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
1:02 pm
a fairly emergency situation and we're deep into the eleventh bordering on the twelfth 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 and 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 than the debt in the united states over the next ten years but 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
1:03 pm
which it grows. as a u.s. government that represents only the elite is ill equipped to deal with the overwhelming problems says gerald celebrities from the us place trends journal. the country is growing bank route just look at the numbers the numbers. the politicians let's look at the bigger picture first of all the devaluing the dollar and we've been saying that 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
1:04 pm
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 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 reading them keeping their perks for more perspective on it next we hit the streets of the big apple to also americans what they think of the debt drama. makes me wonder how they ever get anything done in israel or in italy or any place really of multiparty america to port east to any employers of included and we can't get anything done sometimes it takes a while. things really are good once the american people want this america we were just there is anybody really what they really want.

in a studio and i suspect the new nazis are holding their annual meeting they have gathered with the support of the local authorities who on the other hand of competent and not see much said to me by sort of firth as more from the same. we're here in this town a cinema for the annual gathering of the versions of the wealth and now the event has attracted widespread criticism of the is being seen glorify not see it. here and. criticize being seen not only to condone this talk but for having made it increasingly difficult paving the years for those who oppose this to come and to rally now the anti fascist movements hold a rally very nearby at the same time if this is going on and as we said in recent years we've seen people coming from latvia from is the way in here from finland they've been detained at the borders 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
1:06 pm
happening by. a question by police we know that the head of the fascist finnish organization was actually detained last night at the pool of thailand and he wasn't allowed to leave the base i was. true. any kind of other opinions the. very much supported this is. now russia since two thousand and five has been introducing tough legislation to the u.s. 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 have been events like this that have got the government support here it is saying you're certainly cause a lot of anger and at the very least is seen as being morally and politically insensitive. from the finish and to fashion is committee says the e.u. is turning a blind eye to such events and it may lead to more progeny similar to the attacks
1:07 pm
in norway all nor will there be if you mean there was any breaking in the kicker's each country and there are traitors this is when your prime minister is not on the ending or writing about it supporting it and because european union has been so lousy and weak the one was in union and only really in the shells of the as right wing extremism which is rising now you're not and we were all laughing already. one example of the. the baltic states become infamous in recent years for what's being thought of the rewriting of history the annual meetings of nazi veterans are happening in latvia as well with an official court ruling authorizing them back in two thousand and seven to stony the thought is remove the monuments commemorated we saw your soldiers who liberated the country from nazi occupation by the time that move cause violent protests if you want to find out more and more details you can

i. this is r.t. from moscow the biggest wave of protests rallies in years is due to start surely it israel demonstrators will take to the streets in seven cities across the country and activists hope the rally in tel aviv alone will attract half a million people thousands have been camping out across the country for about a week now calling for social justice and from prime minister netanyahu to go out his policy is in tel aviv with those cuts over the now paula very good evening to you the organizers are hoping all day from massive turnout are people pouring in then. well this is the in point of way tonight saturday's massive protest will take place and as you say the police have been on the streets away for hours they've been cordoned off the main roads they've shoved that's aside several times in interests a patient at several thousand people will take to seven cities of israel here in television learn expect as many as eight hundred thousand people now this is the sixteenth day of this demonstration it started large innocently with
1:10 pm
a television is it and complaining that her landlady had at her rent and she pitched a tent in a main street here in tel aviv known as rothschild boulevard now on that street now you see dozens hundreds of times there isn't technically signs that say what's child corner of to here a throwback to what we saw happening in egypt during the arab spring but what is interesting is that this demonstration started with her with calls for cuts to be made in housing in education in medicine we have seen forty four months doctors at public hospitals protesting their long working hours and a low pay but it has very quickly taken on a strong political flavor and we now hearing increasingly calls for the israeli prime minister bertie natanya who to step down we are hearing calls for regime change and certainly the protest is mobilizing the entire israeli society to point you touched on comparing the events in israel with the arab spring you were in
1:11 pm
cairo during that uprising where we all remember it well could you see any sort of any similarities at this early stage. they certainly are similarities firstly you hear the chants that are coming off the streets people have been chanting revolution people have been chanting the people demand social justice and walking around earlier many people are holding up placards saying bibi referring to the israeli prime minister bibi netanyahu go home so this is this clear call for every change at the same time this demonstration has been mobilized online particularly with facebook and that is what we've witnessed in egypt and in other countries a park. so painted in the arab spring so thousands of people have been mobilized through facebook through twitter through other social media now the israeli prime minister was taken by surprise this is the largest demonstration in these two and a half years of office and certainly his ratings have never been this note a poll that was issued this week it's tomatoes that his ratings have dropped at nineteen percent in just two weeks and he canceled
1:12 pm
a trip abroad and he is increasingly having to look at options in terms of how to deal with the demands by people on the street it's interesting also to notice that the arab community here in israel has also come on board there are protests in three arab cities among them nazareth as well as jaffa it is interesting the a unifying factor because one of the protest cost earlier had a banner outside that save for jews if they don't build for arabs they demolish it just last night there was a tent here in tel aviv with a palestinian flag flying about and that was torn down by right wingers so while it has the potential to unite it also has the potential to ignite a lot of emotions that will be interesting to see what happens tonight as you mentioned earlier the largest demonstration that israel has seen in years closely following events over the next few of them with your help. or you know this so far well indeed the government could resort to some provocative measures to try and disperse the crowds is the worry of yaniv moyle an activist and lawyer he's in tel
1:13 pm
aviv as well. the government sending people here to make provocation in order to find a reason to take this demonstration to a violent situation to give him a cause to clear this whole thing out we're not going to let them do that or this will continue that's for sure it took sixty years to people to actually get out of the couch and come and demonstrate for social issues we haven't done it before now what we have here it's a history this will be remembered in history because the israelis used to be a bad think to the situation if the government warned this into the sound of people becoming will fall that's basically it we can take the government send him home well more thoughts in a desperate attempt to stay in power the government could begin a new war to try and divert attention from the social problems but somebody of stuff fear one of the main organizers of the protest. well you can see that nothing
1:14 pm
now is under big pressure here wasn't prepared for such kind of movement at the moment actually our biggest fear is that not only our being so afraid of what's going to happen we'll start a war somewhere because that situation in israel where used to be part of the big war is we're in right now to talk about the way we live because we're always under pressure we always are under thirty and prep and that's what people want to change now they want to say ok so they're our friends and we are in a very very big problem 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 our between our citizens. look ahead sort of later the progress coming up first among equals more than eight years since the government gave all children have right to a free education the social divide still remaining as we head there to find out why

. sky high plans flying a plane here in russia gets easier as new legislation clears the runway from this paperwork report of much to. that so. little journalism and a lot of p.r. that's the frequent findings of recent media surveys in the united states as newspapers across the country close the p.r. machines rushing in to fill the vacuum that is christine has been following what it may mean for society. here is the. personality the final edition of this. newspaper is like the seattle post intelligencer the rocky mountain news and hundreds more have now become relics from the past. slash budgets have stopped the presses at newsrooms nationwide. and nast layoffs throughout media have meant far fewer journalists to investigate policy and procedure we're losing
1:16 pm
a sense of accountability in government and business in all our. life lives if we lose journalists who aren't asking questions about what's going on in the numbers particularly dramatic with newspapers 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 or trying to create their own story you have the public relations folks news spin doctors if you will driving in the circle john nichols along with robert mckee wrote a book about it the death and life of american journalism in
1:17 pm
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 appearances or the person reporting to p.r. described 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 but we are cutting 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 and i understood our media works what. reporters saw those good story as opposed to hype which ward works 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 army 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 when there is very little journalism be done in an awfully lot of you create some dangerous circumstances for citizenry for democracy itself i'll 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 folks person 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. in a time when how can flag are all things one in the same and the spin machine works

the. equal access to education for children of different backgrounds may be a good idea but it's getting a mixed response in india right now the government's unprecedented right to education act aims to provide compulsory and free education for all children between six and fourteen but it's india's centuries old social divide is getting in the way as artie's pretty streeter reports. it's gone in india's capital city of new delhi an eight year old cushy just falls 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 put in some extra money maybe 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 ox making it mandatory for all children between
1:21 pm
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 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 the name and their needs to school i mean sister like her she 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 enrolled kids insist that our attending schools like the ones pushing attend 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 as you can do these elite schools have
1:22 pm
a very high standard only children whose parents are educated can study in schools like these two as 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. as many as we believe people of the over those who do get me elected in the sense that he comes from a good on his view leave it. as a word they were. putting him in that sort of thing in a way i mean so he would have trouble getting seemingly in spite of the mix restarts in the integration model received for children like cushy education is simply about accomplishing her dreams and want to study to twelfth green ten become a teacher. but it's a dream that may just fall through the gap of india's socio economic divide by zero clear street or r t new delhi india. also making headlines this saturday evening in

being blamed on rainy weather in town the airport remains closed leaving hundreds of passengers stranded and delaying dozens of flights. was a should surely and the pilots of small planes in russia have long been grounded by a magical amount of paperwork recently adopted law hopes to clear the runway for more frequent flights but many obstacles remain before it's the golden age for russia to use the earth's resources did his plots he explains. dozens of pilots swing their way across russia for the second one air show the most small aircraft enthusiastic the perfect chance to meet other pilots and to enjoy the beautiful southern scenery. almost eight hours to get their views without any turn stick in november last year russia dumped it a new law for small aircraft pilots it sounds very promising abolishing much of the preflight paperwork letting deploy its used 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 in the soviet climes you actually had to have all the paperwork with you during the wide now the rules have changed but there are still third and sometimes even a third requirement for the pilots of all planes for instance even if the pilot and the mechanic are the same perth the no one has the rain. will come and they run one through another the new regulations allow the so-called looks of occasional boat instead of asking for permission for takeoff from the authorities in theory the pilots can now use the internet giant for air traffic control of their plans but in reality it rarely works. as you can see there are many three billion or restricted zones around mosco so it's impossible for us to use notification 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
1:26 pm
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 julien's of dollars from small aircraft fees and taxes russia doesn't get a sense. of the current regulations are in chaos and in a mess we're losing around five hundred billion rubles annually. however many pilots like what seems at what's on to this year's scoop on air show are up to mystic about fighting the real chrissy from a lot of what he wants for the money and the new deal was just the first time he stepped in the rest of the woods ahead of us but eventually we will learn how to fly again through russia's small aviation enthusiasts feel that brooks received has served only to clip their week's no hopes a high of seeing blue sky on the horizon in a small ski archie cross the region. in just a few minutes now explore the high tech business heighten sweeping russia in the
