a very warm welcome to you this is live from moscow u.s. lawmakers are racing against the clock after another week of political bickering between republicans and democrats brought in a result a plan to avoid a default must be reached by chuse day otherwise washington won't be able to pay its bills for the next vote is scheduled for later today investor and author jim rogers believes it will witness a last minute agreement which won't change anything. they're not going to do anything serious they're going to announce something either 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 spin and drive us all deeper into debt we've been doing this for forty years is not going to go anywhere for trying to get publicity for themselves they're posturing that's what politicians do the studies show that the people do a good politician so the people who are good at playground grammar school and these guys are a playground yet again only it's with our money and it's driving america deeper

into debt america's now the largest debtor nation in the history of the world this cannot go on forever yes eventually the creditors are going to say listen no more that's the end of the line you think the problems of bad now you wait till we don't have any more credit you wait till the current just collapsing you wait till interest rates are going through the roof and inflation is going through the roof it's not going to be a pretty picture there's going to be social unrest is going to be a mess. and america's biggest creditor china's new species and patience with washington debt ceiling deadline u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton rushed to reassure asian lenders this week the issue would be settled on time but investors on this because she says china could even dump the dollar his main reserve 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 but the real problem for china is that there's no way that america can pay back the

money that the chinese are worried loaned us politically is just not going to happen especially when interest rates rise 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 that the problem is the debt not the ceiling the sooner the chinese start to stop enabling by this phony economy that we have the sooner we as americans can begin to repair the damage and what's going to happen is where the dollar collapses americans are going to see a big reduction in our standards of living because we're not going to be able to consume all these consumer goods and all the resources that we consume today because the price is going to be much higher. and as the debts drama all say continues to unfold in europe later this hour spalls how the year is a new companies feel today. with pride at being a member of the club is fading in slovakia where the bailout basically crushed

already weak economy and. a more certain it says crew was responsible for last year's a faithful plane crash in western russia that killed that kaczynski along with thousands of the country's ruling elite but the inquiry is still a part of the blame on the mosque a saying that russian air traffic control is also contributed to the result aussies and reports of hope a national tragedy has become a pawn in the political game. another day another blame game poland's very own probe into last year's presidential plane crash 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 tree that the aircraft collides with a fragment of the left wing is detached the aircraft begins there are taishan 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 moscow . 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 tuesday. 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 unbearable 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 echo this opinion calling the swipes

against the russian side and substantial some of your claims concerning the airport or controllers they have nothing to do with the crash i've been a pilot for over thirty years and i know a simple rule if you don't see the runway or it's like of the decision height you have no other choice than to raise the landing gear and go to your reserve airport the initial russian load 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. what if you skew. i think we're now witnessing some political games to shift the blame from the polish side of i was an expert in this commission and i was surprised to learn to 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 a break through all speculation regarding the plane crash but instead it could once again be used as a political tool experts say the timing of the publication is not coincidental this could be exploited also in the political electoral campaign because this should be known that the. interactions this report and all of that issue but if your tablet 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 no 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 for 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 the painful 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 lost in blame game. are reporting from warsaw in poland offering an. look at the timeline of the polish presidential plane crash to visit all websites. where there's a second by second alice's by the interstate aviation pressure the transcript of the cockpit voice recorder providing a detailed perspective on the cause of the tragedy check it all out on r.t. dot com. now israel has become the latest middle east country to see

nationwide antigovernment protests some one hundred fifty thousand people took to the streets on fathers' day night after more than two weeks of rallies protesters are demanding that prime minister benjamin netanyahu step down unless you undertake sweeping economic reforms aussie's paul is clear attended the biggest demonstration in tel aviv. 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 the israeli prime minister bibi netanyahu in fact every time 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 their all and there's no end to this is joe jones this is our only hope we have to change those because we don't have any other

choice would you say people have been inspired by the demonstrations taking place in their full house or what is your sign saying forever do they go home and gaza leaders on earth why do you want him to go home. to go on because of the full distance how much of these demonstrations i mean 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 lebannon and what you see in libya also there's a lot of influence of vote that's when people understand i do have the power that they can they can organize but instead they don't need anymore their 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 take the power back to what they said is the spirit of revolution here a number of israeli populace some singers have also been taking to the stage and

one song that was sung have a chorus and i'm translating this is the new middle east we created the storm the future it's up to us. well paula is keeping abreast of developments in tel aviv and for the very latest you can follow us on twitter at r.t. underscore com where she's posting her comments and i made this tweet say that protesters have been chanting israel is a police state as the security forces arrest several demonstrators here as a there are plenty of tweens and other news stories there as well to log on to r.t. underscore com. the debt crisis raging in europe is claiming more and more economic scallops spain suffering recession and mass unemployment has now been put on review by the credit rating agency moody's the international monetary fund's warn france that it needs to impose cuts to avoid becoming europe's next debt crisis victim and the e.u.'s biggest burra greece has been dealt another blow by one of its main creditors germany's finance minister says berlin won't

write a blank check to buy back greek bonds that was a key part of last week's second bailout package economics although patrick young says greece should have put a pushed out of here as a long ago this is typical of contagion we've been talking about it for weeks we have you know when you get some degree of illness and it goes through the body ultimately you have to decide when to amputate it and the truth is we should have amputated greece from the euro zone long ago there are fundamental huge problems going all the way through the euro zone and we don't have any leaders who are willing to give us a sustainable solution we've got the situation at the moment where provincial libraries in northern germany are being closed because the money isn't there because it's being used to fund people in the mediterranean i think german voters are going to get very angry about that very very soon and i actually think the political will is not there amongst the people to endlessly keep bailing out their saw their neighbors it's going to be

a huge problem because ultimately the contagion is going to hit and i really do believe that after last week's events unfortunately we only inched. closer to the idea of a toll call your real meltdown. europe's economic bailout may be affecting the euro zone's richest members but it's hitting the poorest hard countries like slovakia respin crushed under the weight of europe's debt crisis r.t. sarah first reports on whether membership of the euro club is failing to live up to its promises. 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 the second bailout their money could soon be going to greece it on them i'll tell you what joining the euro zone brought responsibilities but not benefits in fact slovakian pensions a significantly lower than days in greece people here at this homeless shelter 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 easily it was such high hopes it was also kind of prestige to be the first one among hungary and republic polish people read about for the one from central europe to be you know in the zero club that the year is saying it seems isn't all it was cracked up to be as we join the euro zone there was this month that was saying that that's of one country liability of just this one 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 the fact neighboring not only here is in countries have felt the
