will fall but basically it protesters on the streets of israel fear the government could send in violent troublemakers to discredit the uprising that's already been compared to the arab spring revolt. you're watching r.t. from moscow with me kevin oh in this hour it's now ten pm here on 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 the deadline there's no less time than ever to find a way out of what president obama has 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 outcome. less than two business days away from the worst self-imposed crisis of america's standing in
2:02 pm
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 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 than 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 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
2:03 pm
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. solenn to from the u.s. base trends journal believes the u.s. government represents only the elite is ill equipped to deal with the overwhelming problems. the country is going bankrupt just look at the numbers the numbers don't lie the politicians let's look at the bigger picture person of wall devaluing the dollar and we've been saying that all along gold in the last month has gained one hundred fifteen dollars an ounce 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 is that out companies like general electric they made fourteen billion
2:04 pm
dollars last year paying no taxes but there's plenty of room out there and start raining this thing in and turning it around we do not have a representative form of government that's only for 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 parks and later in the program we hit the streets of the big apple foyer to ask americans what they think of the dead. and makes me wonder how they ever get anything done in israel or in italy or any place where they have multi porkies to forty's two and a half hours of who to teach and we can't get anything done sometimes it takes a while to realize how bad things really are they keep on saying the american people want this america deal with this but i don't think there is anybody really what they really want.
2:05 pm
dystonia spectrums and they're nazis holding their annual meeting gathered with the support of the local authorities with the other hand of how important and see nazi about set to happen is by the so has more from the scene. we're here in the is staying in town a cinema for the annual gathering of the versions of the. us now the event has attracted widespread criticism for being seen glorify nazi is. heavily criticized for being seen not only to condone this type of event but the having made it increasingly difficult over the years for those who oppose this to come and host a 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 the thruway near finland they've been detained at the borders not being able to enter and take part again today
2:06 pm
coming in a lot of the people who are involved in the anti fascist movement rally that's happening by. a question by police we know 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. country and of course didn't want any kind of all the opinions that. very much supported this is. now russia since two thousand and five has been introducing legislation to the u.s. condemning the cation of nazi isn't we've seen a number of countries get on board with this but there have been some that have the events like this that have caught the government support here it is stadia certainly cause a lot of anger and at the very least is seen as being morally and politically insensitive. from the finnish fascist community says
2:07 pm
the used turning a blind eye to such events and could lead to war tragedies similar to the attacks in norway. all nor will there be if you mean great there guys i'll agree and get into a speech very outrageous that if it is only in prime minister it's not on believe it at all but some of it supporting it and because european union has in still loves and weak the promise that you and you and you can all meet themselves all this is right to bring extremists in the just right and now if you're not going to work out well i think no really really is like one example of the. baltic states become infamous in recent years for what's being dubbed as the rewriting of history the annual meetings of nazi veterans that mean that we are as well with an official court ruling authorizing them back in two thousand and seven a stone you thought is removed you may recall a monument commemorating the soviet soldiers suit liberated the country from nazi
2:08 pm
occupation at the time the cause violent protests who acquaint yourself with more information all about this long running story head to the website we've got it r t dot com for you the site of our new documentary channel there you can discover an awful lot more about it it's our t d's top home. about six.
2:09 pm
it's pretty challenging see the address on your screens there now the biggest wave of protests rallies in years is starting in israel as a speak demonstrators are taking to the streets in seven cities across the country activists are hoping the rally in tel aviv alone will attract a half a million people thousands have been camping out across the country for about two weeks now calling for social justice and for prime minister netanyahu to go out his policies leaders in tel aviv for. the police have been on the streets already for hours they've been cordoned off the main roads they've shut that's aside several times now this is the sixteenth day of this demonstration it started rather innocently with a television resident complaining that her landlady up to her returned and she pitched a tent in a main street here in tel aviv known as a rough chart of boulevard now on that street now you see dozens hundreds of tents
2:10 pm
there is in fact many signs that say what's child corner of to here a throwback to what we saw happening in egypt during the arab spring thirty you hear the chants that are coming off the streets people have been chanting revolution people have been chanting the people demand it so social justice and walking around earlier and many people are holding up their cards saying bibi referring to the israeli prime minister bibi netanyahu go home so this is this clear course for every scene change at the same time this demonstration has been mobilized online particularly with facebook and that is what we witnessed in egypt and in other countries have participated 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 as noted so it will be interesting to see what happens tonight as you mentioned earlier the largest demonstration that israel has seen in years. correspondent paula slayer the
2:11 pm
government could resort provocative measures to try and disperse the crowds that is the view at least more oil and activist and lawyer who's also in tel aviv. 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 of 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 mystery this state will be remembered in history because the israelis used to be . back into the situation if the government won't listen to the sound of the people the government will fall that's basically it we can take the government sent him home and in a desperate attempt to stay in power the government could begin anew wall maybe to
2:12 pm
try and divert attention of the social problems there that's the view of staff shifa one of the my organizers of the protest. well you can see that nothing 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's the situation in israel where used to be part of the big war zone we're in we're not allowed to talk about it when we leave because we're always under pressure we always under pressure 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 us between our citizens there's later in

2:14 pm
meant far fewer journalists to investigate policy and procedure who are losing their sense of accountability in government and business in all our. life lives if we lose journalists who are now asking questions about what's going on 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 inductors if you will driving in the circle john nichols along with robert mckee wrote
2:15 pm

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 not revolving door between france and he are the president governor. is causing real concern about what the long term effects could be if the influx of spin doctors take over the message machine completely true there is very little journalism being done in an awfully lot of you create some dangerous circumstances for citizenry for democracy and so 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 a spokesperson for president bush and jamie rubin went from the state department under president clinton to executive editor at bloomberg news so a common search is a common practice and no one else no one is questioning or in its time when how can

if. you. equal access to education for children of different backgrounds may be a good idea but it is getting a mixed response in india right now the government's unprecedented right to education act able to provide compulsory and free education for all children aged between six and fourteen but it's india's centuries old social divide is getting in the way this art is pretty street of. it's gone in india's capital city of new delhi and 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 put in some extra money maker but i haven't studied much that's why i want to educate my children after growing pressure to address the educational
2:19 pm
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 require as 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 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 be active such as the parents to decide where the name and their names 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 insist that are 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
2:20 pm
a private school would not be practical as you can do these elite schools have a very high standard only children whose parents are educated can study in schools like these chinese want to maintain their high standards and reputation. its a position supported by the well off members of indian society the school is not meant for them. as many people live. the good many are good in the sense that he comes from. his. he lived as a with a with a zero. putting him in that sort of thing in a way 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 till the twelfth green ten become a teacher was i but it's a dream the mage's fall through the gap of india's socio economic divide i previous
2:21 pm
reader r t new delhi india i thought about our top story the u.s. debt ceiling deadline coming approaching august the second deadline with no solution on the horizon or a half a list of the was known as the residents and father 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 that might happen just part of the negotiation process ok 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 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
2:22 pm
as leverage to push their respective issues and i think americans if i'm speaking for myself as an american are sick of it or they don't represent reports of a thing to the river representing but i don't i think if they keep on saying the american people want this market where does. 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 will make it through and you know will 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 we'll get our way but sometimes it takes a while to. things really are i mean nobody is giving any ground i've seen ideologues before for many many years and this is absolutely truly amazing and
2:23 pm
makes me wonder how they ever get anything done in israel or in italy or any place where they have multi parties i mean go to parties to an airport. and we can't get anything done it's utterly embarrassing initial 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 and are the politicians and it's. some top stories in brief for you a syrian troops have reportedly stormed of damascus suburbs for the least for people human rights groups say brings the number of dead for the two since friday after security forces were said to be got a new crackdown to government protests since the uprising in gold syria in march activists say police violence has killed more than a thousand demonstrators. also tonight nato commanders say they destroyed three t.v. satellite dishes near the libyan capital tripoli the attack was said to have been
2:24 pm
carried out in accordance with the u.n. resolution to protect people from government oppression through the media however it's failed not libyan state t.v. off the air it's now been four months since nato's military campaign began the libyan government claims hundreds of civilians have been killed in the airstrikes. miraculous escape today for all passengers on board a plane that overshot a runway and broke into two in guyana one hundred sixty three aboard the boeing seven three seven here survived although there were some injuries reported the actions being blamed on bad weather meantime the airport remains closed leaving hundreds of passengers stranded in late hundreds of flights to. stay with aviation and pilots of small planes in russia have long been grounded by imaginable amounts of paperwork but now a recently adopted law hopes to clear the runway for more frequent flights however more obstacles remain before it's the golden age of russia's small aviation enthusiasts as dennis plots explains. dozens of pilots swinging their way across
2:25 pm
russia for the second annual cool one air show the most small aircraft enthusiastic supporter fiction's to meet other pilots and to enjoy the beautiful southern scenery. almost eight hours to get their views with time turned stake in november last year russia dumped at a new low 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 in the soviet times you actually had to have all the paperwork with you during the ride now the rules have changed but there are still third and sometimes even up third requirements for the pilots of small planes for instance you know the pilot and the mechanic in the same perth and you know how the main thing. will come and they both run one through another the new regulations allow the so-called blitz
2:26 pm
of acacia mode instead of asking for permission for takeoff from the authorities in theory the pilots can now use the internet june for air traffic control of their plants but in reality it rarely works. as you can see there are many for a bit in all restricted zones around mosco 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 toilets 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 julian's of dollars for a small aircraft fees and taxes russia doesn't get the south park or the fear of current regulations are in chaos is a mess we're losing around one hundred billion rubles and your your. over the
2:27 pm
over many pilots like what's up with this year's one air show are optimistic a build for it's a girl chrissie and a lot of pretty much the modeling the new deal was just the first time he stepped in the rest of the goods it could have us but eventually we learn to fly again russia's small aviation enthusiasts fuel the bureaucracy served only to clip their week's no hopes on high of seeing blue sky over the horizon to the spolsky are to cross the bridge. but it's not just the aviators reaching for the heights of course either looking ahead to the next hour or so here on our t.v. tonight in a sport case called these incredible pictures of a russian two time olympic gold champ in concrete no most lethal live in the world at the cup also the mesa addition of moscow out as well coming up for exploring some pages per tonight and say it's here now to see of course from moscow this saturday.
