latest eleventh hour attempt to avert a u.s. default has failed with the republicans rejecting a cuts built by democrats washington remains in deep deadlock them with a decision needed now by tuesday to extend the nation's debt ceiling and allow the government to borrow more to keep going economist mark fred wolf says all the proposals on the table are simply 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 where deep into the eleventh bordering on the trough 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 to mans of the republicans in these negotiations and therefore is
5:07 pm
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 you know celebrities from the u.s. space trends journal he told us he believes the u.s. government represents only the elite is ill equipped to deal with the overwhelming problems facing right now. the country is going bankrupt just a look at the numbers the numbers. the politicians let's look at the bigger picture first of all did you valuing the dollar and we've been saying it all along gold in

the personality the finalization of the. newspapers like the seattle post intelligencer the rocky mountain news and hundreds more have now become relics from the past. slash budgets have starts the presses at newsrooms nationwide. and nast layoffs throughout media have meant far fewer journalists to investigate policy and procedure for losing a sense of accountability in government in business or our. life. if we lose journalists who are now 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 a public relations industry is expanding at one time a one to one ratio between p.r.
5:15 pm
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 are trying to create their own story you have the public relations spin doctors if you will driving in the circle john nichols along with robert mcchesney 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 your characters are the first they're going to fill it up because. p.r. disguised as news the newsgroup is called mimics press releases also often read on the air or posted on the web before any fact checking is done with a focus often on getting it first rather than getting it right good evening
5:16 pm
everybody. breaking news tonight but we are cutting into our program with some breaking news we are corporate and government p.r. departments are filled with former journalists who know how to sell their message they understood how 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 between the press than p.r. the present government is causing real concern about what the long term effects could be if the influx of spin doctors take over the message machine completely but there is very little journalism be done in an awfully lot as you create some dangerous circumstances for citizenry for democracy and so go straight to questions white house spokesman jay carney worked for twenty years as
5:17 pm
a journalist for time magazine now he's president obama's spokes person former broadcaster and columnist tony snow went on to serve as spokesperson for president bush and jamie rubin went from the state department under president clinton to executive editor at bloomberg news it's so common such as a common practice and no one no one is questioning or writing or 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. . who coverage all our top stories online as well twenty four seventh's. was a wide variety of content there's some a bit of bit more offbeat to the stories you might be interested in the spirit of robin hood as arrived in central russia instead of bourbon of a bush here on the breadline left the body of

a. you know say that you should use the money to help yourself. these are the heart of gold also amazing tale of love and fidelity of male swans managed to hutches a young after a stray dog killed the. side more about the single fathers success and of course all our news stories to cut our teeth are all part. of. the. equal access to education for children of different backgrounds may be a good idea but it's getting a mixed response in india the government some president and right to education act into provide compulsory and free education for all children aged between six and fourteen but it's india's centuries old social divide is creating a problem as artie's priest frida reports. it's dawn in india's capital city of new
5:19 pm
delhi an eight year old cushy just walls getting ready for school ball 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 made 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 in apt 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 there are just as many schools where students have to pay a choice in like this one as there are three 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 that means it's been like cushy could attend an elite private
5:20 pm
school if she entered the 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 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 as. these elite schools have a very high standard only children 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 who. didn't get elected in the sense that he comes from by going on his own so it will be lived. it's
5:21 pm
a way with their. putting him in that sort of thing in a way 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 agree to become a teacher. but it's a dream that may just fall through the gap of india's socio economic divide what preassure either r t new delhi india. or turning out or top story the u.s. debt ceiling deadlock on the approaching august second deadline with no solution on the rise and yet l'oreal finance the laws known as the resident has been falling out with the people feel a financial apart apocalypse is indeed 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
5:22 pm
that this week let's talk about that they keep setting dates over and over again and nothing happens just part of the negotiation process so it's idle threat. i believe so do you expect more from the people who 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 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 representing the viewpoints as they think of the river as any but i don't i think the image they keep on saying the american people want is america be one does. anybody really what they really want what you want but i would like to compromise right now the drama right now is largely contrite there is a debt crisis but we'll make it through it 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
5:23 pm
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 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 party each time we get to cordy's 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. just be a lot more posturing from our the politicians and bots. well you have some top stories making headlines from around the world at least four

reported the actions being blamed on rainy weather the airport remains closed leaving hundreds of passengers stranded and delaying dozens of flights. staying with aviation and the pilots of small planes and russia have long been grounded by unimaginable amounts of paperwork but recently adopted law hopes to clear the runway for more frequent flights however many obstacles do remain before it's the golden age for russia's small aviation as there is a lot ski picks up the story. dozens of pilots wind their way across russia for the second annual cuban air show for most small aircraft enthusiastic the perfect chance to meet other pilots and to enjoy the beautiful southern scenery. he took us almost eight hours to get their views with the new turn sticking in november last year russia today 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 all the 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 frame know what has the main thing. to come in they phone from one to another the new regulations allow the so-called looks of a creation 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 third 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 pilots
5:27 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 two lanes of dollars from small aircraft fees and taxes russia doesn't get a sound of current regulations are in chaos and in a mess we're losing around five hundred billion rubles annually. however many pilots leafleting at this year's air sure are optimistic about fighting bureaucracy and another pretty much with the new law was just the first and only step the rest of us will eventually we will learn how to fly again through russia small aviation enthusiasts feel that brock received has served only to clip their week's no hopes are high have seen blue sky on the horizon as well as ski r.t. across the region just a couple of minutes now to explore the latest in the high tech world in our latest
