guys are at play ground yet again as 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 so 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. the plan is to avoid default has to be reached by teasdale washington won't be able to pay its bills on the next boat is scheduled for late to today meanwhile americans think it's credits and china thing's been easing patients who've washington's debt ceiling deadline u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton rushed to reassure asian lended said this week that the. time on investment comes to sheffield's china could even dump the dollar menu is that calm and say. we can't afford bad relations with china see beijing
10:05 am
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 have already loaned us politically is just not going to happen is specially 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 on 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 debt drama also continues

from fold in europe later this hour explores how the gear is a new coming still today the fight of being a member of the club is fading into the vacuum where the bailout basically crushed and reading we call it may. also admits his crew was responsible for last year's fatal plane crash in western russia they kill president lech kaczynski along with dozens of the country's ruling elite but the inquiry is still a part of the play on the moscow thing that russian air traffic control is also a contribution to the disaster and i see it as a reporter how the national tragedy has become a poor 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 treaty that the aircraft collides with the fragment of the left wing is detached
10:07 am
the aircraft begins the rotation 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 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 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 think the. the polish investigators think
10:08 am
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 it's like the decision height you have no other choice than to raise the landing gear and go to your reserve airport the initial russian light 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 good to put it to scare you i think we're 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 that the crew was chosen
10:09 am
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 consider this could be exploited also in the political electoral campaign because this should be known that the. interactions 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. prime minister to say has no courage to take up the responsibility for the plane crash and has stuff. under his staff nevertheless he's
10:10 am
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 we 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 lost in the blame game is. all we've gotten from warsaw in poland. or for an in-depth look at the timeline of the polish presidential plane crash do you visit our website. as a second by second analysis on why the interstate aviation commission with a transcript of the cockpit voice recorder provided to tell the suspect and the

the international monetary fund and france that it needs to impose cuts to avoid becoming europe's next debt crisis victim and the biggest burra greece has been dealt another blow by one of its main creditors germany's finance minister says the boat write a blank check to buy back greek bonds that was a key part of last week's second bailout package economics author patrick 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
10:15 am
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 enjoyed closer to the idea of a total euro melt on europe's economic bailout but maybe affecting the year is aims were it just members but it's hitting the poor it's hard on countries like slovakia risk being crushed under the weight of europe's debt crisis reports on whether membership at the 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 down the i'll tell you what joining the euro zone brought responsibilities but
