calls for the government to step down tens of thousands of demonstrators have taken to the streets in seven cities across the country the biggest rallies now underway . reports it's hard not to notice the similarities between these events in the beginning of the egyptian uprising earlier this year. well these easily a hundred and fifty thousand people here with the most popular chant being we demand a social justice a whole new way of speakers have been taking to the stage they've been calling on unity and message coming across very strongly as one by one people here can bring change a lot of criticism being leveled at israeli prime minister bibi netanyahu in fact every time his name is mentioned. why are you here tonight i'm here because it's just becoming a possible to live in this country anymore we work we give and we do and we keep on giving and there's no end to this is though this is our only hope we have to change

just because we don't have any other choice which is a people who have been inspired by the demonstrations taking place in their. hearts or what is your sign saying. gosselin is on us why do you want him to go home or. to go on because of the full distance how much of these demonstrations green inspired by the protests we saw taking place in arab world well i think there's a lot of influence of what happened in the ground and now syria lebanon iran and what you see in libya also there's a lot of words of boasting that's when people understand i do have the power that they can they can organize but instead they don't need any more the government to tell them what to do they can start throwing the government what they want. to do you know they can they can start deciding for themselves and take the power back to you so they sent is the spirit of revolution here a number of israeli populists on singers have also been taking to the stage and one

song that was sung had the chorus and i'm translating this is the new middle east we created the storm the future it's up to us it's got to be in the studio. television based activist and lawyer young of moyle told us the israeli government may try to engineer trouble to justify dispersing 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 more 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 an 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 more forces time from stuff

chef it was one of the protest leaders warning that the israeli government's desperate to quell the protests could even try to begin a new war to divert attention from problems at home. 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 night they're now being so afraid of what's going to happen and will 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 rick 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. a correspondent

in israel policy who heard from their arms of dating is for the night on developments in tel aviv you can keep updated as well on twitter at r.t. underscore corbett she's posted the latest comments you saying that thousands are carrying signs saying gave her babies go home the view of course starting with that young prime minister of israel you can keep up to date with the latest and plenty of tweets and other news stories as well for us at our team underscore. the latest eleventh hour attempt to avert a u.s. default has failed with republicans rejecting a cuts built by democrats washington remains in deep deadlock them with a decision needed now by choose date 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 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 plan out there reduces the national debt they just change the speed by which it grows you know celebrities from the us based trends journal he told us he believes the u.s. government represents only the elite is ill equipped to deal with the overwhelming problems it's facing right now. that country is going bankrupt just look at the numbers the numbers don't lie the politicians but look at the bigger picture first of all they 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 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. for the program hit the streets the big apple to americans what they think of the drama surrounding them. it makes me wonder how they ever get anything done in israel or in italy or any place where they have multi parties to portage to an employers if you include the two guys and we can't get anything done sometimes it takes a while. things really are good once the american people want this america bit what does. anybody really what they really want.

best friends of the stolen wartime s.s. division have been holding an annual meeting of the country supported by the country's ruling party and has come to demonstrate they have been harassed by the authorities with one lead detained at another entry from finland. as more from the same. we're here in this staying in 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 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 and host a 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 is the way in year from finland they've been detained at the borders and 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 rally that's happening nearby have been stopped and questioned by police we know that the head of the anti fascist finish 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 any kind of other opinions than their own opinion which is very very much supporting this is. 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 insensitive what is corresponds to refer. to them from the phoenicians the fascist

committee says that supporting such events may lead to more trying to do similar to the mass killing rampage in norway by a far right extremist. they're outrageous that the it is the prime minister it's not on the in the at all but in supporting it and european union have been still loves and weak before my eyes. and all neat shells all this is a right wing extremist in which it's the right thing now you're not going to go well i think the rabid freak is one funny example of the. well i knew meetings of nazi veterans of become a new tradition of the baltic states backed in latvia by a court decision international critics say it's an attempt to rewrite the history of world war two to memory to those who fought with hitler back in two thousand and seven the estonian authorities remove the monument to solving its soldiers who liberated the country from nazi occupation at the time that was a move that sparked violent protests if you want to quote yourself more with all of

a little journalism a lot of pain there the frequent fire the exit of recent media surveys in the u.s. newspapers across the country closed the machines rushing in to fill the vacuum is christine for finding out what that all means for society it is the end of the first of all the biggest. newspapers like the seattle post intelligencer the rocky mountain news and hundreds more have now become relics from the past weekend slashed budgets have stops the presses at newsrooms nationwide. and nast layoffs throughout media have meant far fewer journalists to investigate

policy and procedure we're losing a 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 terence's or the first resort up because they need to apply p.r. to skies 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 saw 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 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 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 in a time when hakken flack are often one in the same and the spin machine works

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 aims to provide compulsory and free education for all children aged between six and fourteen but it's india's centuries old social divide that's creating the problem as artie's priest read a report. 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 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 named their names to school that means a student like or she can attend an elite private school if she enters that awareness the lottery and gets into the twenty five percent quota it also means that if government workers are able to identify and successfully in a row should insist that are attending not just 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. its a position supported by the well off members of indian society the school is not meant for them. it's meant for the little people who do go over those who do get miller did in the sense that he comes from good on his own so probably leave it. as a word they were there. putting him in that sort of fit into 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. or turning out our top story the u.s.

debt ceiling deadlock in the approaching august the second deadline with no solution on the rise and yet laurie oftenest of the as known as the resident has been falling out with the people feel a financial 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 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 threats 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 they don't represent the reports as they think to the river representing but i don't i think the they keep on saying the american people want this american people want this but i don't think they're asking anybody really what they really want what do you want i would like a 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 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 i mean we go 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 are the politicians and law. really have some top stories making headlines from around the world at least four people are believed to have been killed by syrian troops were opened fire on protesters the deaths covered day after tens of thousands of demonstrators took to the streets against the rule of president assad human rights groups say twenty two have now died since friday in the latest crackdown by security forces activists estimate over eighteen hundred demonstrators have been killed by security forces since nationwide protests began and. nato commanders say they've destroyed three t.v. satellite broadcasting 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 or not 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 airstrikes. miraculous escape of these passengers of this plane when it overshot the runway and broke into two in guyana all one hundred sixty three on board the boeing seven three seven eight hundred survived although some injuries were reported the accidents being blamed on rainy weather meantime the airport remains closed leaving hundreds of passengers stranded and delaying dozens of flights. staying with aviation and 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. ski picks up the story. dozens of pilots winging their way across russia for the second

annual qubani air show for most small aircraft enthusiastic supporters fictions to meet other pilots and to enjoy the beautiful southern scenery or. he took us almost eight hours to get there but the views were fantastic although in november last year russia adopted 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 this paperwork with you during the flight now the rules have changed but there are still some third 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 of the house the main plane ridden 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 however many pilots like the
