tonight thousands gather in israel demanding the resignation of the prime minister these pictures from tel aviv where protesters say they fear the government could send in violent troublemakers to discredit the demonstrations. the country

is going bankrupt just look at that number is another plan to resolve the u.s. debt crisis falls apart in the senate with the clock ticking towards choose day deadline to avoid default. and an s.s. veterans gathering in the stonier to celebrate their nazi past causes outrage activists say turning a blind eye to this could lead to more tragedies similar to what happened in norway . welcome you're watching our team from moscow with me kevin though in this hour it's now midnight here and our top story the biggest wave of protests in years is underway in israel with demonstrators taking to the streets across the country tens of thousands have been camping out for about a fortnight now calling for social justice and for prime minister netanyahu to go the largest rally is now underway in tel aviv in artie's paula slee is following

the latest developments. this is one of some ten different rallies taking place across the country right now here in tell of it there must easily be some fifteen to twenty thousand people a short time ago they marched from us child boulevard which is a street not far from here which locals have dubbed the tough here square obvious for all to hear of course being a throwback to cairo where the egypt ssion protests and egyptian revolution were centered around police choppers are circling overhead police are called oldendorf all the roads here this demonstration and these protests that have seen thousands of people take to the streets across israel has taken the government of the israeli prime minister bibi netanyahu by surprise and they certainly do not know that come to deal with it that this is a political demonstration it might not have started off like that sixteen days ago but sadly here we are hearing cause for netanyahu the israeli prime minister to step down there are cause for every scene change and the latest polls suggest that

it's many hesitate to send obviously any support system in 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 this 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 a lot of people here making parallels between what is happening in israel and what happened in egypt. to the activist a lawyer feels the government could resort to some provocative measures to try and disperse the crowds. 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 the us

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 in history this state 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 it we can take the government send him home and close to one of the main organizers of the protest shifa who believes in a desperate attempt to stay in power the government could begin a new war to try and divert attention from the social problems. well you can see it at 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 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 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 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 citizen. correspondent we heard from just then will be updating us throughout the night on developments in tel aviv but for the very latest as well you can catch up with it on our twitter page our to underscore call there she's posting the latest comments she's saying the fountains the people there carrying signs saying gave good bibi go home video for we've been given that yahoo keep up to date with plenty of tweets coming through from her and other other news stories as well very latest r t underscore.

next deep deadlock another plan to avoid a u.s. debt default has failed this time the republicans in the house of representatives have rejected the democrats' cut bill on friday it was the democrats rejected the republicans plan in the senate economist says 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 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 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 plant out there reduces the national debt they just change the speed by which it grows joe celebs who in time 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 they 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 us was

crying and other currency 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 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 all only the very powerful and the very rich and that's all this is about letting them keeping their perks but later in the program tonight we hit the streets of the big apple would have meant it couldn't the state of the drama surrounding them. makes me wonder how they ever get anything done

in israel or in italy or any place really of multiparty america to port is to an employers if you include the two guys and we can't get anything done sometimes it takes a while. things really are that they keep on saying the american people want this america they want this but i don't think anybody really what they really want. in a stone in excess veterans of neo nazis are holding their annual meeting they've gathered with the support of local authorities who are the other hand. see much set to happen. as more from the sea. we're here in this town a cinema for the annual gathering of the versions of the estate in waffen s.s. now the event has attracted widespread criticism of the is being seen to glorify naziism the authorities here and is saying you're being heavily criticized to 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 to 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 is the way in year from finland 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 that or have remained true to the country and of course didn't want any kind of other opinions than their own opinion which is very much supporting the this is. now

russia since two thousand and five has been introducing draft legislation to the u.n. condemning the course cation of naziism 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 insensitive. hard for them from the phoenician to freshers' committee so that you used turning a blind eye to such events and it may lead to more trying to do similar to the turks in a new way. all normal that the if main break there was any breaking to keep their speech story and their outreach is that the is this the new prime minister or in the ending that they're all. supporting it and because european union has been so lousy and weak the hormones. and all the neat themselves all these as right wing extremism which is rising now you're not going to go at all well i think it's

. funny example of the. the baltic states of become infamous in recent years for what's being dubbed the rewriting of history meetings of nazi veterans also happening in latvia too with an official court ruling authorizing them now back in two thousand and seven a study in authorities would then remove the monument that was commemorating the soviet soldiers who liberated the country from nazi occupation that would cause violent protests but to find out more about this and quite yourself more this long running story you can head to our website and our new documentary channel online to discover more about the history of world war two there we've got a collection of the original footage for you bringing you a chilling reality all from the experience as it was for the millions of people who suffered from it log on to our. daughter r.t. dot com once again that's. our team dot com to find out more.

you're watching r.t. from moscow next little journalism and a lot of people there the 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 christine has been finding out what all that means for society. the first for the final list for this year.

newspapers 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 mass 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 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 chances are the first resort up before the age of p.r. disguised 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 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 weren't what. reporters thought it was a good story as opposed to hype butch ward worked 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 the press and p.r. the press and 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 where there is very little journalism be done in an awfully lot of spin 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 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 no one is questioning or anymore in a time when hack and 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 fourth of state actually survive. in washington christine r.t. . that's one of many stories we're going online for twenty four seven at r.t. dot com always a wide variety of content that's sometimes a bit more off beat these stories the spread of robin hood arrives in central russia instead of purging a bush on the breadline thieves left money other note for saying that she should

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 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 act making it mandatory for all children between the ages of six and fourteen to get a free education it 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 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 they mend their names to school that means a student like course she can attend an elite private school if she enters 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 this is cool 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 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 in. the getting elected in the sense that he comes from. his view leave it. it's

a what they would they're. putting him in that sort of frame in the 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 grade ten become a teacher. but it's a dream that may just fall through the gap of india's socio economic divide by preassure either r t new delhi india. one of our main stories the u.s. debt ceiling deadlock on the approaching or the second deadline with no solution on the horizon laurie are first otherwise known as the residents of falling or whether people feel a financial apocalypse it's 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 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 or think of representative reports as they think to their of representing but i don't i think they keep on saying the american people want this market want this but i don't think they're asking anybody really what they really want what do you want i would like to compromise right now the drama right now is largely contrived 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 hopefully will get our way but sometimes it takes a while to bad things really are i mean nobody is given any ground of so you know 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 parties to 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 on the politicians involved. more stories making headlines around the world now syrian troops of reportedly

stormed a damascus suburb killing at least four human rights groups say brings the number of dead to twenty two since friday after security forces were said to be going to new crackdown on anti-government protests since the uprising engulfed syria in march activists say police violence has killed more than a thousand demonstrators. nato commanders say they've destroyed three t.v. satellite broadcasting dishes near the libyan capital tripoli the attack was said was being carried out in accordance with the u.n. resolution to protect people from government oppression through the media however it's failed to knock libyan state television 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 air strikes. iraq has escaped for passengers on this plane it overshot a runway and it broke into two in guyana all one hundred sixty three on board the boeing seven three seven survived although some injuries were reported the accident being blamed on bad weather authorities temporarily closed the airport delaying dozens of flights and stranding hundreds of passengers. lucky escape there will

same 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 many obstacles remain before it's the golden age for russia's small aviation. explain. dozens of pilots winging their way across russia for the second annual qubani air show the most small aircraft enthusiastic supporter fiction's to meet other pilots and to enjoy the beautiful southern scenery. he took us almost eight hours to get their views with time turned steak 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 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 main plane rig would come in they 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. as you can see there are many forbidden no restricted zones around moscow 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 cent. of the current regulations are in chaos and in that mess we're losing around five hundred billion rubles annually. recovered many pilots like. this year's air sure are optimistic about fighting bureaucracy and the other pretty much but that the new law was just the first of any step the rest of the go ahead of us but eventually we will learn how to fly again through russia small aviation enthusiasts feel that broke receive has served only to clip their weeks no hopes are high of seeing blue sky on the horizon. r.t.e. across the region. but of course is not just aviators reaching for the heights he they're looking ahead to the next half hour or so here on r.t. in the sport case got these incredible pictures of
