3:01 pm
debt crisis falls apart of the senate with a clock ticking towards choose days deadline to evolve avoid default and. as it says veterans gather in a stony to celebrate the nazi past causes outrage activists say turning a blind eye to this could lead to more tragedy similar to what happened in norway. could be watching r t from moscow with me kevin owen it's eleven pm here now on our top story for you the biggest wave of protests in years has begun in israel demonstrators are taking to the streets in seven cities across the country thousands have been camping out across the country for about a fortnight calling for social justice and for progress to netanyahu to go and biggest rally is now underway into. let's catch up with artie's paul asli she's
3:02 pm
there to bring us up to date with what's happening. again so organizers were predicting earlier a massive turnout have they got the backing they wanted tonight. well it certainly seems if they do have the backing they wanted this is one of some ten different valleys taking place across the country right now saturday evening here in tel aviv they must easily be some fifteen to twenty thousand people a short time ago they marched from what's child boulevard which is a street not far from here they marched here as i say from my chart which locals have dads the tough here square of it all to hear of course in a throwback to cairo where the egyptian protests and egyptian revolution was tainted around now here in the coming hour we are expecting organizers to outline their specific demands the mood is certainly beating and hopeful although there is a heavy security presence police choppers are circling overhead police are called
3:03 pm
cordoned off all the roads here they are very concerned that they could be a repeat of what happened last saturday when there was a similar demonstration although few in numbers that protests or some thirty thousand people and that protest actually erupted into violence afterwards when several people were arrested for disturbing the quiet on the street so police would not want to see a repeat of that this demonstration and these protests that have seen thousands of people take to the streets across israel has taken the government out of the israeli prime minister bibi netanyahu by surprise and they certainly do not know how to deal with that want to put on your drawing similarities with. israel now the events in egypt you touched on it just a couple seconds ago are we really talking about the potential overthrow the government here though. that certainly is the only comment here this is the political demonstration it might not have started off like that sixteen days ago but certainly here we are hearing calls for netanyahu the israeli. why minister to
3:04 pm
step down there are boards for every scene change and the latest polls suggest that as many have eighty per cent obvious mainly support the stemmons station now it is interesting though that in the in today's media saturday israeli press is reporting that netanyahu is mulling over certain kinds of tax breaks as a way to peace people and that has caused critics thirty people on the left of the israeli political spectrum to say that he's behaving in the same way that the egyptian president hosni mubarak reacted shortly before he was overthrown so nice people here making parallels between what is happening in israel and what happened in egypt it is interesting though that israelis did support the democratic move of egypt chim protesters the city here we are witnessing the democratic move of israelis and just talking to people get people are excited by the fact that so many people are being mobilized across the country with the potential to possibly overthrow the turnout who you know i was going to ask you the more there's the all
3:05 pm
important mood just looking over your shoulder there we've got cameras daughter grown elsewhere as well bring your views the latest live pictures paula what is the mood there we're just focused on the stage now i mean what are these jobs so you know are they protest songs i can't understand what they're saying if you got a better idea. but they're not focused on space and they populate israeli sunset that is my this is really having a spirit people coming together i think that's really the sense i get here of units the obvious main is uniting behind a common theme and israeli society city hasn't missed something like this in years the netanyahu government in a true and a half years and it's been in place has been completely caught by surprise and i think what did start as a protest against rising costs of living against education the the police for example the doctors have been protesting for several months already so it started with very specific concerns but if we has unified people into rallying call calling
3:06 pm
for an. down i mean an hour across walking constant people who were holding up posters saying mubarak aside netanyahu that also gives you a sense of the perils of being made so sick even newt is jovial it is a unity it is a coming together of people calling for regime change ok you hearing the protests for that call out his policy thanks for bringing us up to date what you're seeing around you will be crossing back to you later thank you for that well we're hearing all is peaceful and quiet there at the moment but tell of these based activist and lawyer while fears the government could resort to some provocative measures to try and disperse the crowds the government sending people here to make proper occasion 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 the process will continue that's for sure it took sixty years to people to actually get out of the couch income and demonstrate for social issues we haven't done it before
3:07 pm
you know what we have here it's a mystery this will be remembered in history because the israelis used to be. a bad thing to the situation if the government won't listen to the sound of the people the government will fall that's basically if we can take the government sent him home one of the main organizers of the protest stuff shifted believes in a desperate attempt to stay in power the government could begin a new war to try to avert attention from the social problems at home. well you can see it in the now is under big pressure he was unprepared for but 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 going on we're in we're not allowed to talk about the way we live because we're always under pressure we always under thirty correct and that's what people
3:08 pm
want to change now they want to say ok they're our friends and we are in a very very big problem with the countries around us and with the palestinians but here 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 where we spoke to just now there's a mention policy it will be updating us throughout the night on the developments in tel aviv for the very latest as well you can head to our twitter page at our to underscore com there she is posting a comment right now oh she's saying that thousands carrying signs say gave over and bibi go home movie of course means begin to. keep up to date there are plenty of tweets and other news stories as well r t underscore com. another plan to avoid a u.s. debt default has failed to pass through the senate after the democrats rejected a cut bill proposed by the republicans with the clock ticking down the tuesday's deadline there's even less time now to find
3:09 pm
a way out of what president bob was called a mess and avert an unprecedented default crisis economists much fred wolf told us the proposals on the table just putting off 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 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
3:10 pm
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 which thing 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 just lead to us place trends journal believes the u.s. government that 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 first of all devaluing the dollar and we've been saying it all along gold in the last month has gained a hundred and fifteen dollars an ounce the dollar is crashing against the swiss franc and other currencies you can see what's going on and let's look at the bigger
3:11 pm
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 that made fourteen billion 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 job selenski and later in the program we have the streets the big apple to ask americans what they think of that drama. to me wonder how they ever get anything done in israel or in italy or any place where they have multi forty's i will go to parties two and
3:12 pm
a half hours to be included she does 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 they were just so i don't think there is anybody really what they really want. in a stony f.s.s. spectrums of neo nazis holding their annual meeting they have gathered with the support of the local authorities on the other hand of how to put an anti nazi march said by a few set of verses more from the same. we're here in this stony atlanta cinema for the annual gathering of the versions of the. now the event has attracted widespread criticism of the years of being seen to glorify nazi as the authorities here are saying you're being heavily criticized for being seen not only to condone this talk but for having made it increasingly difficult over the years for those who oppose this to come and host a rally now the anti fascist movement hold
3:13 pm
a rally very nearby at the same time 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 be able to enter and take part again today coming in a lot of the people who are involved in the anti fascist movement rallied it's happening it by. a question by police we know that the head of the anti fascist finnish organization was actually detained last night at the pool of talent and he wasn't allowed to leave the base and i was. very much supportive. russia since two thousand and five has been introducing 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
3:14 pm
been events like this that have cost the government support heritage certainly cause a lot of anger and at the very least as being morally and politically insensitive. from the finish with you says the turning a blind eye to such events and maybe toward trying to do so similar to the attacks in norway. all nor will there be if you mean break their vows i'll agree and there keep your speech very outrageous that it is the new prime minister it's not going to be ending because they're all but somebody supporting it and equal european union in the lousy and weak the promises of european union and only believe themselves all the right wing extremists in which it's the right thing now you're not the only one out lacking already complete one one example of each. of all the states become infamous in recent years indeed for what's been dubbed the rewriting of history the annual meetings of nazi veterans are happening in latvia as well

3:17 pm
throughout media have meant far fewer journalists to investigate policy and procedure we're losing a sense of accountability in government in business in our. life lives if we lose journalists who aren't asking questions about what's going on and 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 inductors if you

equal access to education for children of different backgrounds may be a very good idea but it's getting a mixed response nonetheless in india right now the government some president had rights to education aim to provide compulsory and free education for all children aged between six and fourteen but it's india's centuries old social divide this getting in the way priests reader found. it's dawn in india's capital city of new delhi an eight year old cushy just always getting ready for school ball there are nearly two hundred million elementary school children like coaching 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 maker i haven't studied much that's why i want
3:22 pm
to educate my children after growing pressure to address the educational disparities in india the government passed an x. making it mandatory for all children between the ages of six and fourteen to get a free education and 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 today 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 names and their names to school that means if they're like what you can attend an elite private school if the answer than 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 cool but aren't attending schools like the ones pushing its hands now could get overcrowded but the idea of free schooling in india has its
3:23 pm
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 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 over those who have been getting elected in the sense that he comes from. his been so probably. leaders or whatever they're. putting him in that sort of fit into i mean so he would have trouble getting assimilated in spite of the mixture starts in the integration model received her children like cushy education is simply about accomplishing her dreams i want to study to twelve angry ten become a teacher i but it's
3:24 pm
a dream that may just fall through the gap of india's socio economic divide. preassure either r.t. new delhi india. or turning out one of our top stories the us debt ceiling deadline coming project august the second deadline with no solution on the horizon lori huff a list as more. 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
3:25 pm
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 think of representative reports as they think to the river representing but i don't i think they keep on saying the american people want to be with has. anybody really what they really want what do you want i would like to compromise right now the drama right now is largely contrite there is a debt crisis but will make it through. 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 that 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 giving any ground i've seen no you log before for many many years and this is absolutely truly amazing and makes
