hundred fifty thousand anti-government protesters flood streets across israel demanding prime minister netanyahu step down but some say the arab spring has now spread to israel. and a very warm welcome to the program this is all season cleaver of you i mean i shook my valentine story now the political game of chicken as china has put it has continued in washington as the country heads towards a disaster as a default for weeks now lawmakers have been struggling to reach a compromise deal to raise the u.s. debt limit and there's all season marina and i reports with just hours left to august second deadline calls intensified for politicians on capitol hill to come be partisan bickering and just do their job. well what we hear and what we see are two different things in terms of what is happening in washington regarding this debt
7:02 pm
deal it's been dramatic there's been a lot of political posturing taking place but no deal as of yet sunday morning we did see us republican leaders take to all the mainstream media saying that a deal is close shortly after we saw u.s. democratic leaders say that there is no final agreement later on about four hours after that there was a vote in the senate where senator harry reid's plan for this debt deal with actually voted down it only received fifty votes and it needed sixty two pounds that was a democratic plan at this point what we know is that the white house is holding closed door meetings with republican congressional leaders but there is a lot of division that still takes please what is being reported is that the republicans and democrats are trying to agree on a deal that would raise the debt limit in two stages that would get that would
7:03 pm
get the u.s. through the two thousand and twelve elections and that amount would be anywhere between two and three trillion dollars and at the same time they're trying to come to an agreement that where they would cart the u.s. deficit by three trillion dollars over the next ten years the sticking point here is where to cut this spending the republicans do not want any taxes raised the democrats do not want programs such as social security medicare and medicaid to be touched so at this point what both parties are trying to come in agreement come to an agreement on are is where to cut three trillion dollars over the next decade the overall climate within the u.s. it is a climate of frustration americans are losing out it is the americans that are going to take the brunt of this burden and overall it's the u.s. law. makers it's those that are taking the opportunity to get to chew mudslinging
7:04 pm
to not come to a compromise and as a result of that there's been a block cloud of uncertainty uncertainty hanging over the u.s. overall foreign investors are very concerned the u.s. is the biggest lender china is very concerned about the fiscal management of the united states the fact that there can't be a compromise or u.s. business owners are hesitating from hiring new workers because there is a lack of confidence in the leadership if the u.s. were to default on its loans this would mean a catastrophe for the u.s. economy it would trickle throughout the world and what it would mean in the u.s. is that interest rates would rise people would lose jobs it would be a replay of the two thousand and eight fiscal crisis so at this point i could tell you that the consensus is most of most americans is that their elected officials in the u.s. can not lead they could do a better job fighting and arguing then leading if they come to a compromise it will happen but it will happen at the last minute and some say that
7:05 pm
so much damage has already been done to the reputation and the credibility of the u.s. economy. and kyra nonnative president of a new york based financial advisory service says u.s. lawmakers only have time for a last minute quick fix to that's unlikely to be effective if they don't. it's good that it's happening the way it's happening is not very good because we were three to six months ago in a position where we probably could have had a more substantial deal to solve the problems. of the country but the politics is there is no put us in a place where we're not going to have a ok type of compromise even if we get the most aggressive which is somewhat closer to four trillion we're only just been managing to bring down the debt level of the u.s. to about eighty percent level right now so right now we're just talking about slowing the rate celebration of the problem which is look it's better than nothing at least
7:06 pm
if you can get something it won't get worse and worse but as far as it goes on a good trajectory we need something somewhere closer to the three to four trillion dollar over ten years range to even begin to address that turn to us is not the only the u.s. rather is not the only place trying to deal with financial crisis a massive debt think europe trying to get more and more countries into trouble with the fifteen concern over the economic stability of the eurozone on the eve of its problems not that. we should a bump egypt and greece from the euro zone long ago so they agree drain has started tough act to spain as the country prepares for that was the credit rating of the thank if i feel is over the new european deal for rescue the stable euro zone hard now work automatic intrinsically. also has admitted that the pilot error led to the polish presidential plane crash in western russia which killed than president lech kaczynski and scores of the country's top officials but the
7:07 pm
government commission still a part of the blame on russian air controllers for that is our thin april last chair players have to reports now and how a national tragedy has become undertaken by politics. another day another blame game although very own probe into last year's presidential plane crash and smolensk all got confirmed the findings of russia's investigation that the crew was almost solely responsible for the tragedy. at this point there is an obstacle at tree that the aircraft collides with a fragment of the left wing is detached the aircraft begins their attention 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 there 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
7:08 pm
away should have told the crew to start descending horizon command should have been issued exactly at this moment this shows that the landing zone controller was performing his duty in an encouraged way and these three such statements come as little surprise to experts with some of them saying acceptance of the 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 play on sunday 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 a simple rule if you don't see the runway or its mikes of a decision height you have no other choice than to raise the landing gear and go to
7:09 pm
your reserve airport the initial russian lead 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 with well thought tactics. and here i think we are now witnessing some political games to shift the blame from the polish sign of i was an explosion this commission and i was surprised to learn that the crew was chosen immediately before the flight such 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 smolensk plane crash but instead it once again be used as a political tool experts say the timing of the publication is not quite sure this could be exploited also in the political electoral campaign because this should be
7:10 pm
no longer than two months after being. parliamentary elections this report and all that issue but if you are terribly it will be. 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 skate has no courage to take up the responsibility for the plane crash and has shuffled it off under 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 imposed on or your national forum which will get to the bottom of this case as this is what we owe to those who died while the society is still deciding whether to admit the playful responsibility which comes with a report experts are speculating whether this is
7:11 pm
a fair and objective investigation or an attempt to please all the players in the long lasting blame game. r.t. reporting from warsaw in poland. and for. a closer look at the timeline of the polish presidential plane crash visit our website. you'll find a transcript of the cockpit voice recorder providing a detailed insight is that a tragedy that unfolded so outside of home with the place to go. israel has become the latest middle east country to see nationwide antigovernment protests at its peak some one hundred fifty thousand people took to the streets on saturday after more than two weeks of rallies protesters are demanding that prime minister binyamin netanyahu steps down a lengthy undertakes sweeping economic reforms policy attended the biggest demonstration to love it. obviously i did in fifty thousand people here with the
