a very warm welcome this is live from moscow u.s. lawmakers all racing against the clock after another week of political bickering between republicans and democrats brought no results a plan to avoid default by choose day otherwise washington be able to pay its bills the next vote is scheduled for later today investor and author jim rogers binny's 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 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 it's not going to go anywhere they're trying to get published it in for themselves their 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 all of these guys are at play ground 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 currency is 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 it's going to be a mess on america's biggest credits had sinus and species and patients washington's debt ceiling dead long u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton rushed to reassure asian leaders this week that the issue would be settled on time but investment says china can be done but don't last it's making 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 and the real problem for china is that there's no way that america can pay back the money

that the chinese are very 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 the problem is the debt not the ceiling the sooner the chinese start to stop enabling by this phony economy that we have this 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 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 debt drama also continues to unfold in europe later this hour how the year is a new congress feel today pride of being a member of the club is fading in slovakia but the bailout may simply crush an

already. warsaw admits its crew was responsible for last year's fatal plane crash in western russia that killed president lech kaczynski along with dozens of the country's ruling and passed the inquiry still a part of the blame moscow saying that russian air traffic controllers also contributed to the disaster. report and how that 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 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 moscow. here's where the approach controller two thousand meters away should have told the crew to stop descending. commands should have been issued exactly at this moment one of the 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 on bearable they can't take it now i don't. i 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 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 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 led an investigation was greeted by an avalanche 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 computer but if you skew i think we're now witnessing simply school games to shift the blame from the polish side of i was an expert in this commission and i was surprised to learn we did 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 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. interaction is this report and all 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 in. it 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 at the

international for who should get to the bottom of this case as this is what we owe to those who died while the police decide who is still deciding whether to admit the plane 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. we've gotten from warsaw in poland. for an in-depth look at the timeline of up presidential plane crash to visit our website. where there's a second by second analysis by the interstate aviation conversation with a transcript of the current. providing a detailed perspective on the cause of the tragedy check it out at r.t. dot com. israel's become the latest middle east country to see nationwide

choice so would you say people have been inspired by the demonstrations taking place in arable. what is your sign saying we're going to go home guzzlers on earth. why do you want him to go home. to go on to the fullest and 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. syria levanon 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 they don't need anymore 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 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

creditors germany's finance minister says well write a blank check to buy back bonds that was a key part of last week's second bell package you get on with all the pattering young says greece should have been pushed out of the euro zone 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 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 solve 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 inch closer to the idea of a toll call your remote on. europe's economic bailout but maybe affecting the euro zone's richest members but it hitting the poorest hard and countries like slovakia risk being crushed under the weight off europe's debt crisis aussie 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 vacuum may be one of the poorest countries 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 home michelle 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 here is going to be such high hopes it was also kind of prestige to be the first one among hungary and probably polish people read about for the one from central europe to be you know in the zero club that the year using it seems isn't all it was cracked up to be as we join the euro zone there was always been treated that was saying that that's of one country liability 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 if it may bring new year easing countries have felt the benefits
