8:02 pm
to go. to the colonel was her job as a retreat. gather demanding the resignation of prime minister binyamin netanyahu in protests which some observers say mirrored the demonstrations which have swept the arab world yet. the country is very corrupt just look at the numbers another plan to resolve the u.s. debt crisis and prevent default falls upon the republican controlled house of representatives reject the democrat bill that's true today's deadline looms even closer. and trans gathering in the stadium to celebrate the nazi past causes outrage with anti fascist activists saying allowing such events could lead to more outrages like the massacre in norway.
8:03 pm
international news live from moscow this is all she was me thanks for joining us nationwide protests have engulfed with social slogans are rapidly being replaced by the 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 rally is now underway in tel aviv. reports it's hard not to notice the similarities between these abounds and 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 is 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 he is why are you here tonight i'm here because
8:04 pm
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 this is the last chance this is our only hope we have to change those because you don't have any other choice so would you say people have been inspired by the demonstrations taking place in their. hearts or what is your sign saying. go home and you guys are leaders on earth why do you want him to go home. alone because of the full distance how much of these demonstrations green inspired by the protests we saw taking place in the arab world well i think there's a lot of influence of what happened in the ground and now syria lebanon iran and what we see in libya also there's a lot of influence of voting and that's when people understand i do have the power that they can they can organize by the endo they don't need anymore the government to tell them what to do they can start telling the government what they want. to do you know they can they can start deciding for themselves take the power back to you
8:05 pm
so they say me is the spirit of revolution here a number of israeli populist sun 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 is up to us. and television based activist and lawyer yet if more yell says the israeli government may try to engineer trouble to justify dispersing the crowd. the government sending people here to make bro. occasionally 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 a mystery this state will be remembered in history because the israelis used to be
8:06 pm
. bad 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 them home. and stop chef air is one of the protest leaders things these really government desperate to quell the protests may even try to begin a new move to divert attention from problems at home. well you can see it at the now is under big pressure he wasn't prepared for so it's kind of movement at the moment that actually our biggest fear is that now 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 there pressure we always under pressure 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
8:07 pm
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 citizens. and we heard from our correspondent in the hall it's clear and will be updating us throughout the night on developments in tel aviv and for the very latest you can always follow us on twitter. home where she is posting her calling and she's saying that the police have arrested several demonstrators i protested up looking roads in the city center calling for being on the netanyahu to quit the failed against government policies so keep up to date with plenty there are plenty of tweets and other news as well and stories i want to underscore called. to make this eleventh hour attempts to avert a u.s. default has failed with republicans rejecting a bill by democrats washington remains indeed deadlock with a decision needed by tuesday to extend the nation's debt ceiling and allow more money to keep growing and economy stocks floodwalls says all the proposals on the
8:08 pm
table is simply putting all the. less than two business days away from the worst souls 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 that we're deep into the eleventh bordering on the twelve hour. action 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
8:09 pm
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. anteros hélène team from the u.s. based trans general believes the u.s. government that represents only the need to is in equipped to deal with the of a well known problem in. that country is going bankrupt just look at the numbers the numbers don't lie the politicians lie let's look at the bigger picture first of all they're devaluing the dollar and we've been saying that all along gold in the last month has gained a hundred and fifteen dollars an ounce the dollar's crashing against the swiss franc and other currencies so 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
8:10 pm
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 only the very powerful and the very rich and that's all this is about letting them keeping their perks. and later in the program we hit the streets of the big apple to ask americans what they think of the death drama. makes me wonder how they ever get anything done in israel or in italy or any place really of multiparty which i will go to portage to an airport if you include the two guys and we can't get anything done to take. things really are they give us any
8:11 pm
american people want this american b. or does. anybody really what they really want. in a stand here s.s. veterans a new nasa holding their annual meeting they have gathered with the support of the local authorities who on the other hand have hunted and ninety nine to march said to happen nearby. has more from the same. we're here in this town a cinema for the annual gathering of the versions of the estate in us now the event has attracted widespread criticism of the is being seen to glorify naziism the authorities also here and is saying you're being heavily criticized to 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
8:12 pm
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. or 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 very very much support 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 here in
8:13 pm
a stone year certainly cause a lot of anger and at the very least is seen as being morally and politically insensitive. to mr leno heaton and from the finish and to fascist communities that supporting such events may need to move tragedies similar to the mass killing rampage in norway by far right extremist. their own creatures. it is really. all but big. support the elite and european union you still loved and we were born ones that do for you and you can all meet there leave them shelter all this is right extremism which is rising now you're not a new world like you know already the street is once one example of the. so on your meetings of nasa veterans have become a new tradition in the baltic states are blocked in largely by a court decision international critics say it's an attempt to rewrite the history of world war two commemorating those who fought with hitler and back in two thousand and seven these stimulus sorties removed

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 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 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

health insurer independent blue cross before returning to work as a journalist not 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 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 else no one is questioning. or in a time when how can flag are all thin one in the same and the spin machine works

magical recent. in india to provide free and compulsory education for all children between six and fourteen has been welcomed by educationalist but the country's social divisions are getting in the way with some not wanting integration of children from different backgrounds in the classroom priya sridhar reports. 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
8:21 pm
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 enrolled this is one 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
8:22 pm
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 live. over those who do get neglected in the sense that he comes from a good on his own so probably leave it. putting him in that sort of fit into i mean. he would have trouble getting a simulator 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 i but it's a dream that may just fall through the gap of india's socio economic divide. preassure either r t new delhi india. and returning to main stories the

us debt ceiling deadlock with d.-day fast approaching on tuesday and our resident reporter in new york laurie hoffman it has been finding out all the views on the streets of the big people feel financial doomsday is around the corner. with a 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
8:24 pm
speaking for myself as an american are sick of it or they don't represent the reports that they think to the river representing but i don't i think the minute 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 but 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. things really are i mean nobody is giving any ground. 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 really
8:25 pm
a multi-party to portage to an airport if you include the two guys and we can't get anything don't. be ashamed of themselves no matter what happens with the u.s. debt crisis the bottom line is we're bound to the a lot more posturing from all the politicians involves. and most tourists from across the world who are covering for you are they sound at least four people are believed to have been killed by syrian troops opening file in protest as the deaths come a day after tens of thousands of demonstrators took to the streets against their rule of president assad human rights groups say twenty two have now died since friday in the latest crackdown by security forces have assessed or made over eighteen hundred demonstrators have been killed by security forces since nationwide protests began and. nato warplanes have bombed three state t.v. satellite transmitters in the libyan capital tripoli but have failed to take this

8:27 pm
many obstacles remain before the golden age for russia's small aviation enthusiasts says dennis benoit's case. dozens of pilots winging their way across russia for the second annual cuban air show the moost small aircraft enthusiastic chance to meet other pilots in to enjoy the beautiful scenery. he took us almost eight hours to get their views with one term stick 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 but 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 through and sometimes even absurd requirements for the pilots of small points for instance even
8:28 pm
if the pilot and the mechanic is the same burthen you know has the main plane ridden. from one to another the new regulations allow the so-called notification 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 really works. as you can see there are many. the bit in all 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 of 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
8:29 pm
around five hundred billion rubles annually if there were a number of them however many pilots like the team that did this year's air show are optimistic about fighting the real chrissie. the new deal was just the first in 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 across the region. and as more soaring high in the air over the next half hour. for you here on r.t. like in this sport case called incredible pictures of a russian two time olympic pole vault champion concrete almost five meters from a couple. of the latest edition of oscar out exploring the wonder of the front pages that stay with
