and welcome to aussies weekly review and main story now the threat of a disastrous us debt default has been averted at the eleventh hour with president obama announcing that lawmakers have finally reached a deal after a seemingly endless political bickering and stalemate however the political struggle is far from being over with the most important issue of how to best balance the budget being good hard for a later date the announcement comes after barack obama held intense talks with democrat and republican leaders the call from eyes a well they will punish us boring to continue. after tuesday in exchange for more than two treaty when the dollar is in the long term spending cuts but as offseason are in a fortnight reports the deal may have been reached the u.s. reputation has been damaged. so help us avoid default debt ceiling nation default

and this crisis time's running out the entire world is watching it's been a public spectacle filled with bickering grandstanding and lack of compromise i devise of debate over raising the u.s. debt ceiling created an unprecedented climate of uncertainty over america's so-called sound economy the damage been done no matter what happens now everybody really thinks the united states isn't so secure it isn't so safe even if the craziness subsides it seems to have gotten real close and who knows whether the next month next year this want to blow up again since the underlying causes economic problems are getting worse in this country four point five trillion dollars of america's borrowing is owed by foreign countries experts say washington's mismanagement may cause investors to abandon the devalued dollar and their partnership with america it's like being married to someone decide. if they were jerks you want to know what i do how much can i put up with this relationship

the u.s. will be in for a long time the only game in jail with the your community is making noises chinese making noises were you know we're alone now in our ability to be a repository for financing in the world the result could spark a replay of the two thousand and eight economic meltdown except this time washington not wall street would be responsible for the first time in history our country's aaa credit rating would be downgraded leaving investors around the world to wonder whether the united states is still a good bet. interest rates would skyrocket on credit cards on. among. which amounts to a huge tax hike on the american people as the countdown neared zero all three big rating giants moody's fitch and standard and poor's threatened america's how lowed triple a score unless a deal was hammered out and the fourteen point three trillion dollar debts getting

higher economists say america's unsustainable budget deficits are the biggest threat to the nation it's like the batteries worn out the spark plugs don't work the tires are flat all of this and so what we're trying to do is say we've got a little bit of money in the bank let's pay that down but we're not doing anything to fix the economy and so we're putting ourselves in a bigger and bigger hole not just because of the dad but really because we're not creating any way to get out of the debt instead of the u.s. president repeatedly asked americans over the past week to join the campaign to borrow and spend more make a phone call send an e-mail tweet keep the pressure on washington and we can get past this while the eyes of the world have been following the heated saga playing out between u.s. politicians the main problem not going away is america's debt and the growing realisation that elected officials may never be capable of agreeing on how to solve

it marina port niall r.t. new york. the u.s. is not the only place struggling to deal with financial crisis massive debts in europe that are dragging more and more countries into trouble with persisting concern over the economic stability of the eurozone and the impact of its problems on others. we should have amputated greece from the euro zone long ago. so the greek drain has started to affect spain as the country prepares for the worst over its credit rating exacerbated by fears over the new european deal to rescue the unstable euro zone so we're reporting on that in a few minutes. and right now we also has a debater's that pilot error led to the polish presidential plane crash in western russia which killed ten then president lech kaczynski and scores of the country's top officials but the government commission still laid part of the blame on russian air controllers but the disaster in april last year. reports now on how

a national tragedy has become overtaken by politics. another day another blame game poland's very own probe into last year's presidential plane crash in 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 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 hughes 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 unsubstantial 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 rush unload 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 you purport if you can hear 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 paid to all speculation regarding this 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 in two months to be. parliamentary elections this report and all that

issue but if your tablet will be. even easier than 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 skate has no courage to take up the responsibility for the plane crash and has shuffled it 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 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 plane for 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. reporting from warsaw in poland.

and for a closer look at the timeline of the polish presidential plane crash visit our website. and you'll find a transcript of the cockpit voice recorder providing a detailed insight into the tragedy unfolded so our home is the place to go. israel has become the latest middle east country to see a nationwide anti-government protest 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 benyamin netanyahu steps down unless he undertakes sweeping economic reforms or his policy attenders the biggest demonstration and tell of it. well these easily a hundred and fifty thousand people here with the most popular chanting 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 is one by one people here can bring change a lot of criticism being leveled at israeli prime minister bibi netanyahu in fact every time his name is mentioned he is good 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 though as this is our only hope we have to change those because we don't have any other choice which is a people who have been inspired by the demonstrations taking place in their full service of. what is your sign saying the rewards are going to go home guzzlers on us why do you want him to go home. to go on because of the full distance how much of the statement stray sions dream 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 in our syria lebannon and

what you see in libya also there's a lot of words of boasting that when people understand are they have the power that they can take an organized by them does it don't need any more 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 son singers have also been taking to the stage and one song that was sung had the chorus and i'm translating this is the new middle east we created the storm the future it's up to us. between forty five and one hundred people have been killed in sea where by government forces storming the city of hama that's according to local cuban rights groups u.s. president obama has vowed to increase pressure on the regime after this fresh round of violence but tough president of the arab louis association says western promises alone won't bring positive results president obama says what he's saying everybody

in syria and out of world will immediately respond. the rest of the afghanistan situation all of these things and dreams are low and it doesn't have any comfort however i think the west can actually and the world can assist the syrian regime with a policy of quiet contact to explain to them what are the ways that they can move into rather than just making statements and changing laws the west seem to be content with them in making these crazy statements well i would say you know the regime is less than a dollar not. and later on the program a depression of spreads across japan sending the country's already high surf side rates soaring as a result of the radiation creates the population falling marchers earthquake and tsunami. that has crisis raging in europe is claiming more and more economic

scalps spain suffering recession and mass unemployment has now been put on review by the credit rating agency moody's the international monetary fund has warned france that its credit rating could be slashed if it does not impose more spending cuts meanwhile the euro zone's biggest bailout recipient greece has been dealt another blow by one of europe's main creditors germany's finance minister has warned the you want to write a blank check to buy back the bonds of failing countries in a move also intended to deter other trouble states from believing more relief is on the way despite a reckless boring so they cannot mix 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 to 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 inch closer to the idea of a total your real meltdown. here of sitting on the burden. maybe affecting the euro zone's richest members but it's hitting the poorest hard and countries like slovak air risk being crushed under the weight of europe's debt crisis. 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 to participate in the second bailout their money could soon be going to greece. i'll tell you what joining the euro zone brought responsibilities but not benefits in fact slovakian pensions a significantly lower than days increase 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 is not never enough money. but back in two thousand and nine when slovakia joined the year isn't it was such high hopes it was also kind of prestige to be the first one among hungary and triggered public polish polish people read
