fall that's 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. welcome 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 days 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
2:03 pm
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 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 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 of that could be pushed through none of these plans make real efforts to reduce the long term problem of insufficient revenue and
2:04 pm
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 gels to lead to from the u.s. space trends journal believes the u.s. government represents only the elite is ill equipped to deal with the overwhelming problems. that country is going bankrupt just look at the numbers the numbers don't lie the politicians let's look at the big picture first of all the devaluing the dollar and we've been saying it all along gold in the last month is gained one hundred fifteen dollars an ounce the 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
2:05 pm
dollars a year how about 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 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 and lights in the program hit the streets of the big apple for you to ask americans will they think of the dead. makes me wonder how they ever get anything in israel or italy or any place where they have multi forty's and we get to portuguese to an airport if you include the ticket and we can't get anything done sometimes it takes a while. things really are that you don't see any american people with this american we were just but i don't think anybody really what they really want.
2:06 pm
in a stunning. new nazis are holding their annual meeting they've gathered with the support of the local authorities who will have a hand of how put in. me a boy. has more from the scene. we're here in the is staying in town a cinema for the annual gathering of the veterans of the estate in us now the event has attracted widespread criticism of the is being seen to glorify nazi is. here and it's a new 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 to rally now the anti fascist movement 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 this the way in here from finland
2:07 pm
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 base and i was told. i have remained true to the country and of course didn't want to get any kind of other opinions from their own opinion which is really very much supporting this is. now russia since two thousand and five has been introducing draft legislation to the u.n. 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 herin to stay in year certainly cause a lot of anger and at the very least is seen as being morally and politically
2:08 pm
insensitive to sort of like to be slightly from the finish and the fashions committee says the use turning a blind eye to such events some could lead to more tragedies similar to the attacks in norway. all nor will there be if you mean break their guns i think they keep your speaker e and outrageous that this is their story in prime minister it's not on the in the list at all but i'm supporting it and because european union has been still loves and we were promised that it will be new and you can all meet that the only themselves all this is a right wing extremist in the just right thing now if you're not going to want to know what i think norway the freak is like one example of the. the baltic states become infamous in recent years for what's being dubbed as the rewriting of history the annual meetings of nazi veterans out in latvia as well with an official court ruling authorizing them back in two thousand and seven
2:09 pm
a stony the thought is removed you may recall a monument commemorating the soviet soldiers suit liberated the country from nazi occupation at the time that move caused violent protests who were quite 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 side of our new documentary channel there you can discover an awful lot more about it it's all at t d's dot com. and that's it.
2:10 pm
yes but you challenge you can see the address on your screen is there now the biggest wave of protests rallies in years 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 of the 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 artie's paullus leaders in tel aviv for us. the police have been on the streets away for hours they've been cordoned off the main roads they've shoved us aside several times now this is the sixteenth day of this demonstration it started rather innocently with a television is it and complaining that her landlady had asked her written to and
2:11 pm
she pitched a tent in a main street here in tel aviv known as a watch child a boulevard now on that street now you see dozens hundreds of tents there is in fact many signs that say what's child corner of it here a throwback to what we saw happening in egypt during the arab spring firstly you hear the chants that are coming off the streets people have been chanting the revolution people have been chanting the people demand so sort of social justice and walking around earlier many people are holding up their cards saying bibi referring to the israeli prime minister bibi netanyahu go home so they said 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 that 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 this note so it will be interesting to see what happens tonight as you mentioned earlier the
2:12 pm
largest demonstration that israel has seen in years. corresponding paula slayer the government we're hearing could resort provocative measures to try and disperse the crowds that is the view at least of yeah the more oil activist and lawyer who's also in television. 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 mystery this state will be remembered in history because the israelis used to be . a bad think to 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 send
2:13 pm
him home and in a desperate attempt to stay in power the government could begin a new war maybe to 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 it in that the now is under big pressure here wasn't prepared for such kind of movement at the moment actually our biggest fear is that not they're now being so afraid of what's going to happen and will 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 the way we live because we're always under pressure we always under threat 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 problems 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 that later in
2:14 pm
the program first among equals more than a year since the indian government gave all of the right for free education the social divide still remain and we had that to find out why. the sky plans flying your own plane is russia gets easier as new legislation clears the runway from a list. little journalism a lot of p.r. the frequent findings of recent media surveys in the u.s. newspapers across the country close the p.r. machine is rushing in to fill the vacuum christine for finding out what but maybe for society. it is. the first of all of this intelligence or newspapers like the seattle post intelligencer the rocky mountain news and hundreds more have now become relics from the past. slash
2:15 pm
budgets have stopped the presses at newsrooms nationwide. and nast layoffs throughout media have meant far fewer journalists to investigate policy and procedure who are losing their sense of accountability in government in business in all our. life lives if we lose journalists who aren't 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 the spin doctors if
2:16 pm
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 your ex about terence's are the first there but we showed up because we need to apply 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 they understood how media word what. reporters thought of as a good story as opposed to hype butch ward worked for nearly twenty years as
2:17 pm
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 the press and p.r. the press and 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 where there is very little journalism be done in an awfully lot of spin you create some dangerous circumstances for citizenry for democracy itself goes 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
2:18 pm
a common practice and no one else no one is questioning or anymore 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 force a state actually survive. in washington christine for sound are. just one of the many stories we're also covering online as well if you want to read quite yourself with it twenty four seventh's. these stories as well might interest you tonight the spirit of robyn hode the arrived in central russia he said a burgeoning of a bush girl on the breadline. so bunny on a note saying she should have used the bunny to help herself. also that amazing tale of love and fidelity of male swarms managed to hatch a stray dog killed the mother for more than a single father success of course or other stories. log onto our t. dot com.
2:19 pm
equal access to education for children of differ. 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 as india's centuries old social divide is getting in the way as artie's pretty streeter found out. 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 maybe but i haven't studied much that's why i
2:20 pm
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 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 names to school that means a student like pushy can attend an elite private school if she enters that winning 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 attending schools like the ones pushing attendance now could get overcrowded but the idea of free schooling in india has its opponents while the teachers want
2:21 pm
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 juden 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 school is not meant for them. it's meant for the. people of. the good miller did in the sense that he comes from. his. believe it is a word they were there. putting him in that sort of fit into i mean. 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 grade ten become a teacher. but it's
2:22 pm
a dream that may just fall through the gap of india's socio economic divide five preassure either r t new delhi india was about our top story the u.s. debt ceiling deadline coming approaching or guess the second deadline with no solution on the horizon laurie half a list of the was known as the residents been 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 that this week let's talk about that they keep setting dates over and over again and nothing happened just part of 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
2:23 pm
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 viewpoints that they think they were representing but i don't i think they keep on saying the american people want this america be one does 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 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 hopefully we'll get our way but sometimes it takes a while to bad things really are i mean nobody is given any ground i've seen
2:24 pm
ideologues 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 i mean we go 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. bound to be a lot more posturing from all the politicians involved. some top stories in brief for you a syrian troops have reportedly stormed of damascus suburbs of the middle east for people who are rights groups say it brings the number of dead now to twenty two since friday after security forces were said to be got a new crackdown to government protests since the uprising you gold syria in march activists say police violence has killed more than a thousand demonstrators. also tonight nato commanders say they've destroyed three

t.v. satellite dishes near the libyan capital tripoli the attack was said to have been carried out in accordance with the u.n. resolution to protect people from government oppression through the media however it's failed and libyan state t.v. off the air it's now been four months since nato 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 all one hundred sixty three aboard the boeing seven three seven here survived although the worst some injuries reported the accidents being blamed on bad weather and in time the airport remains closed leaving hundreds of passengers stranded in the late hundreds of flights to. stay with aviation and pilots of small planes in russia have long been grounded by unimaginable 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
2:26 pm
enthusiasts as dennis blot ski explains. dozens of pilots winging their way across russia for the second annual qubani air show for most small aircraft enthusiastic supporter fictions to meet other pilots and to enjoy the beautiful southern scenery or. it took us almost eight hours to get their views with fantastic one although in november last year russia docked 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 back 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 still thumb through it and sometimes even up third requirements for the pilots of small planes for instance even if the pilot and the mechanic in the same berth and they'll have the
2:27 pm
main plane ridden would come in they phone 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 fitbit 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 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 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 of service with the current regulations are in chaos is alive and in that mess we're losing around five hundred billion rubles and your you were there on the
2:28 pm
cover of earth. however many pilots like the team that looked at this year's scoop on air show are up to mystic chrissie and another pretty much the modeling team the new it was just the first any step the rest of the goods ahead of us but eventually we will learn to fly again russia's small aviation enthusiasts feel the broker see it served only to clip their week's no hopes on high of seeing blue sky on the horizon. r.t.e. crossed the region. 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 the sport case called these incredible pictures of a russian two time olympic pole champion conquering almost lethal one of the more that the cup also the mates edition of moscow out as well coming up for exploring some pages per tonight at the say it's here now to see of course from moscow this saturday.
