and you're watching all of you welcome to the program there's still no consent between us no makers on tackling the country's debt crisis as a senate fails to agreement deal proposed by the democrats on friday a proposal to raise the debt ceiling was passed in the house of representatives of the senate killed it was later the u.s. capitol remains in deadlock as they try to avoid default ahead of tuesday's deadline. political games are driving the country into a deeper recession. they're not going to do anything serious they're going to go now at something if the day before the day ah but the day after and they're going to say everything is ok but in six months from now a year from now america is going to be in worse shape than it is now they're going to continue to spend and drive us all deeper into debt we've been doing this for
5:04 am
forty years it's not going to go anywhere stocking shay's the dow jones industrial average is near its all time i what kind of price this is that when the financial markets are all fat and happy and most people are well i mean yes there are people that are better despondent and suffering right now but that's not a crisis america is the largest debtor nation in the history of the world it's just getting worse u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton rushed to be a show asian leaders this week at the dates debate would be settled on time beijing as america's biggest creditor seems to be his impatience with washington's financial mess basement analyst says china could even dump the dollar as its main currency we can't afford bad relations with china see beijing holds the cards you know we're dancing to the tune that they play the real problem for china is that there's no way that america can pay back the money that the chinese are very low interest politically is just not going to happen specially when interest rates rise
5:05 am
i'm surprised it's taken the chinese so long to figure out that they've been throwing a lot of good money after bad i don't think we're going to default i think we're going to inflate which is just as bad but you know we're going to raise the debt ceiling the problem is the debt not the ceiling the sooner the chinese start to stop enabling this phony economy that we have the sooner we as americans can begin to repair the damage and what's going to happen is when the dollar collapses americans are going to see a big reduction in our standard of living. later now we take a closer look at other struggling economies that hopes for some evolutions who are taking up the. fight in a natural. light a. separatist movements are gaining momentum in belgium sparking fears of a chain reaction across the whole of europe. also refuses to shoulder full responsibility for the polish presidential plane crash in western russia saying
5:06 am
russian traffic controllers also contributed to the aviation disaster the crash killed the late president lech kaczynski dozens of the country's ruling elite last spring and. reports many in poland are unhappy that the national tragedy has become a political weapon. another day another blame game poland's very own probe into last year's presidential plane crash and smolensk all but confirmed the findings of russia's investigation that the crew was almost solely responsible for the tragedy . at this point there is an obstacle a treaty that the aircraft collides with a fragment of the left wing is detached the aircraft begins the rich ation but let me emphasize it's not that the tree was too high the aircraft had simply been at a location where it shouldn't have been it seems the very things that got in the way of the plane are now getting in the way of warsaw taking full responsibility and trees are not the only thing rooted in poland failing to see eye to eye with
5:07 am
moscow but. here's where the approach controller two thousand metres away should have told the crew to stop descending the horizon command should have been issued exactly at this moment this shows that the landing zone controller was performing his duty in an incorrect way on this day. such statements come as little surprise to experts with some of them saying acceptance of total responsibility would be impossible for the polish society they've been given the truth and the truth is on their. they can't take it now i don't think that the polish investigators think they can pin the blame on anybody else but i do think that they are looking to pin some of the blame on somebody else aviation experts echoed this opinion calling the swipes against the russian side and substantial some of your claims concerning the airport all controllers they have nothing to do with the crash i've been a pilot for over thirty years and i know
5:08 am
a simple rule if you don't see the runway or its likes of the decision height you have no other choice than to raise the landing gear and go to your reserve airport the initial russian lead investigation was greeted by a novel launch of criticism from some movements in poland they expressed doubts about the reliability of the report often based on anti russian sentiment and some experts say it is not pure emotion driving this but well thought tactics and you put it here i think we are now witnessing simply to call games to shift the blame from the polish side of i was an expert in this commission and i was surprised to learn that the crew was chosen immediately before the flight such a poor preparation for such a high profile flight publication of this report had been delayed for several months and was very much anticipated in poland it was meant to put paid to all speculation regarding this millennium plane crash but instead it could once again be used as a political tool experts say the timing of the publication is not coincidental show
5:09 am
this could be exploited also in the political electoral campaign because this should be known that in two months they had to be in. parliament elections this report and all that issue but if you're a tablet it will be. even easier is it in the electoral campaign and the twin brother of the late president kaczynski was quick to prove this suggestion with a sharp round about the report. the prime minister to say has now. courage to take up the responsibility for the plane crash and has shuffled it off on to his staff nevertheless he is responsible for all the games he played with the russians he's responsible that the poles were not conducting or even participating in the investigation he's responsible for not defending polish interests and at the international forum which will get to the bottom of this case as this is what we owe to those who died while the polish society is still deciding whether to admit
5:10 am
that playing full responsibility which comes with a report experts are speculating whether this is a fair and objective investigation or an attempt to please all the players in the long lasting blame game. after reporting from warsaw in poland. israel has become the latest middle east country to see nationwide antigovernment protests tens of thousands of demonstrators taking to the streets in major cities protests to say they'll demand that the prime minister benjamin netanyahu steps down unless he undertakes sweeping economic reforms parties following the developments interview the biggest rally took place all these easily a hundred and fifty thousand people here with the most popular chanting we demand for 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
5:11 am
if he ran his name is mentioned he is why are you here tonight i'm here because it's just becoming possible to live in this country anymore we work we give and we give and we keep on giving and there's no end to this is this is the only hope we have to change just because you don't have any other choice would you say people have been inspired by the demonstrations taking place in their. hearts or what is your sign saying. gosselin is on earth why do you want him to go home. alone to the fullest and 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 to do. syria lebanon and what you see in libya also there's a lot of influence of both and that's when people understand they have the power that they can they can organize by them does it don't need any more government to
5:12 am
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 power back to you so they said is the spirit of revolution here a number of israeli populace son singers have also been taking to the states. and mike summed up what you had said i'm translating the new middle east to the storm. coming up for you on the program cross border trouble so protest against nato take near the border crossers of course are been warning victim to territorial unrest throughout the week also. apparent triple disaster tuesday claimed lives months after a devastating earthquake and tsunami triggered the fukushima nuclear disaster a different way it's quickly country on depression and suicide. in europe the number of a struggling economy seems to be increasing spain suffering recession and mass

5:14 am
at the banks through greece this package will certainly not help the greek economy the greek economy needs growth and since you are in the midst of a very bad recession you are blind to the country to cut spending to increase taxes then throwing some money at it is not the solution. well smaller e.u. countries that the republic of slovakia also feel their economy is being crushed under the weight of the currency crisis with bailouts for eurozone member states nations like the vacuum are feeling the pinch and as artie's sarah firth reports some say the expectations of prosperity off the engineer opinion have disappeared. they say that charity starts at home also a vacuum may be one of the poorest countries but with pressure from the e.u. to participate in a second bailout their money could soon be going to greece it on them i'll tell you
5:15 am
what joining the euro zone brought responsibilities but not benefit in fact slovakian pensions a significantly lower than days in greece people here at this hey michel to tell us they barely cover their food costs with the money they receive we have to now. deal with homelessness we have to reform our pension system our health care system this never enough money. that back in two thousand and nine when slovakia joined the year is a it was such high hopes it was also kind of prestige to be the first one among hungary and probably polish polish people read about for the one from central europe to be you know if you're a club that the year isn't it seems isn't all it was cracked up to be as we joined euro zone there was a lisbon treaty that was saying that that's of one country liability just this one
5:16 am
country in may two thousand turned the rules changed dramatically days left out of the year a gang may well now be breathing a sigh of relief if a neighboring nonny here is saying countries have felt the benefits slave actual peers have been heading to their check out in a bid to escape the year a we come just across the border from the back here to the czech republic where these super store outlets doing a been in business more and more people make the regular journey to do their shopping because the prices here is simply much cheaper with people now shopping outside the country so vacuous retail revenues have fallen dramatically and the high prices mean the tourism industries have been hit hard to certainly not the results hopeful when the. has joined but every club has its leaders and what they say apparently gays even if they're the ones who got you into trouble in the first place you see be created this is the reason that all the countries in the euro zone
5:17 am
are. more generous the greek bonds are as good as german bonds. make it possible for greek to world so much money back in may be contributing this time it's left many of the is it fair to say eager to join the year a gang feeling that now simply being pushed around. back in. norway could have witnessed even more bloodshed last week has its view of the man who admitted the recent shooting ball massacre was reportedly planning to attack other targets the royal palace and the headquarters of the ruling labor party were believed to have been part of and those products plans meanwhile crowds have been gathering in downtown austin a massive tribute to some people. i think as expressed strong teams in the unions which were described as good excellent one right wing tugun and politicians radical views triggered outrage in poland and calls for his resignation whether
5:18 am
there are some commentators who believe these extreme views will try to grow support across europe. i think what this is really highlighting is your changing and you're been changing while it's been relatively economically stable influx integrated so you know you're. on your way in particular had a pretty decent two thousand to two thousand and ten what you're seeing now is with a decent living standards with you know a lot more confusion particularly in the lower classes about job security you're going to see a lot more focus on immigrants i think you're going to see a lot more islamic extremism and i think you're going to see a lot more break really extremism particularly in the skinny in countries almost norwegians probably didn't know that i'll post. percent immigration but we're right they know a lot more you know statistics now i think you're going to you know people saying well gosh this guy was a crazy lunatic but he had another pretty serious problems you know without asking and i think you know i think you will see you know
5:19 am
a lot about you know people tend to be you're more right wing and right i mean groups definitely say yeah clearly don't shoot children but hey guys he had what. now belgium is a hotbed of international politics we're paying representation of this prosperous country seems to be failing to resolve its own internal differences and artie's daniel bushell reports the country's north-south power squabbles are sending a warning signal to other nations some weight to the divorce before planning their mixed marriage but were lowered near the southern region of belgium the country's been with elton fictive government for record fourteen months fringe speech he was loons in the self and flemish speaking floor in the north disagree on pretty much everything many analysts think the most likely outcome will see the country break into as soon as it splits with floor does complete the world loons will look to hook up with france for richer or poorer but mainly for richer. going it alone when
5:20 am
you're a small region is clearly not appealing they say political clout is important the main appeal is money. is part of france in everything but name that we have the same language we watch french t.v. not belgian but above all our economies controlled by french crims. polls suggest that whole foods sixty percent of the french want to become one presidential front runner marine le pen last week said she would with the southern half of belgium with france president sarkozy's ruling party and the opposition are already in talks to tie the knot we have contacts with other parties with you m.p. and we have contacted the socialist it has been confirmed to us that's in case belgium would speed up then one would be welcome in france. the biggest party in the northern half want to split two experts say belgians already divided people
5:21 am
don't know any more about the other half of the country the flemish people don't know who are the popular singers or writers today in the french speaking part and vice versa king albert's fears belgium's national day last week was its last he added the crisis threatens not just every belgian but european integration itself. was e.u. is scared that the divorce of belgium the rest of europe catalonia leaving to be scotland leaving a great and we're already seeing separatist marchers in mixed community towns here turned violent with guns getting you to take just one big clash from brussels to become. that conflict mass killing not suffered in europe since world war two neighbors turned on each other as you can slow via broke up and the determination of regional identity is not to be underestimated french unionists say they have the flag and everything else worked out to become from. twenty eight. live to.
5:22 am
see rossi's. a series of clashes at the cost of the serbian border this week led to nato forces taking over control of two crossings on wednesday consequent police moved in to seize the checkpoints previously controlled by serbs you see provision shortly after one of the crossings was attacked by some two hundred. through fire bombs and torched the customs office forces then took control of the post coming under attack in the process of blocking convoys from reaching a base in the north of the country as not to protest the balkans politics expert says it's not a doctrine that the go ahead for what he calls its puppet masters in washington. you should bear in mind that the. union leaders could have done nothing without the ok from the us administration and we know that the us has got
5:23 am
a massive investment in kosovo it's got the biggest military base in the world in cambone still smack bang in the heart of the cost of oil and so everything that. gets up to is also raised by washington in the first place having said that the policy in kosovo over for all peoples albanians as well as serbians is so huge that they're suffering already under this combined washington regime which has brought them nothing but poverty and pain and really has done nothing for the region but bring organ harvesting and pain and quality to everybody we know who can stop it and it is time that the us administration stopped its extremist puppets in prishtina from even further expanding into. recognized territorial area. the earthquake that devastated japan may have happened in march but the country's death toll is still rising suicide rates have increased since the radiation crisis unfolded massive tsunami the government a fairing a depression epidemic could emerge sean thomas has been to japan to find out why so
5:24 am
many people there are taking their own lives a triple disaster on a scale the world has never known causing damage and destruction and uncertainty forcing tens of thousands of japanese refugees to leave their lives behind and seek shelter anywhere they can some people do. but the problem is they are a minority they be they have been accused by. you know of course by offshore. causing. people. not. primarily a move towards self-preservation this idea of desertion is defined by many as characteristically japanese and has earned those who have evacuated the dishonorable title of traitor. of course it's hard to hear that we have family
5:25 am
members think about our health but in other words we run away we escape because we're scared of radiation but there is no example in the world of something similar and the consequences are still ongoing. while those who have moved to shelters here in tokyo are facing that guilt and the pressure to move back home there are others who have lost everything cannot handle the overwhelming change and they are facing even darker demons japan already has one of the highest suicide rates in the world and following the disaster in march the government has issued a warning about a possible nationwide epidemic of depression here. organic farm us committed suicide because you know the. soil is everything they have good soil for after many. it's just contaminated one night going to go so. far so i'm very
5:26 am
sad to hear the news and many other us are also very much depressed a recent national survey in japan performed by dr roshini and his team shows that suicide rates in japan have in fact increased in the months since the disaster compared to the same timeframe in the previous two years but the demographics are not what you might expect the. rate increases. note. that the areas because some by birds striving to. they have not had to make suicide this disaster has certainly taken its toll on japan's economy and such constant reminders of an intense topic can harm the collective psyche of the people who live here as well because of the. tsunami disaster plus
5:27 am
nuclear disaster many people actually lost their jobs or working on the show has crushed. so. yeah they have of so many good reasons to commit suicide. causing japan's death toll to keep rising even though the initial disaster subsided months before in japan sean thomas fourteen. this week saw rising hopes of a revival of the storm six party talks on north korea's nuclear disarmament while a two day meeting between washington and pyongyang representatives nork both discussion a positive and productive u.s. envoy said that south korea and participants in the six party talks must be consulted before any progress is made the talks involving both koreas u.s. china and japan originally started in two thousand and three but going on with jus after suffering sanctions test more long range missile and valid never to return
5:28 am
the u.s. says north korea must dismantle its nuclear facilities before any deal reached and you expect. that would be tough as north as always if you the u.s. is hostile. smacks a little bit of desperation specially because when you look at the build clause which is you can dismantle it you nuclear program first and then we decided to talk to you that's an absolute no no i was in north korea last year and i confirmed from north korean officials directly that the state awfully is the same state of play as it was fifty eight years ago fifty eighth anniversary of the armistice that did not end the north korean war for that matter of north korea south korea are still at war with each other and the war from the north korean point of view is a war against america is not south korea they view it as a bloc that government of the americas so over the last year start to really know
