a hundred and fifty thousand anti-government protesters take to the trees across israel to mounting prime minister netanyahu steps down but some say the arab spring has now spread to the. hello and welcome to all cheese it will play with you i'm. storing up the immediate threat of a disastrous us debt default seems to have been averted at the eleventh hour with president obama announcing that lawmakers have finally reached a deal after weeks of political bickering and stalemate then also and comes after barack obama held last ditch intensive talks with democrats and republican leaders on increasing america's debt limit so the two step compromise all made us boring to continue. after tuesday in exchange for one million dollars in spending cuts

however the political struggle is far from over with the key issue of how to balance the budget being put off for a later date when you cross party congressional committees to be set up as part of the deal to advice on cuts including tax reforms medicare and social security but is now reports the tortures and lengthy road to reach an agreement has damaged the reputation of the u.s. . will 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 if they beat over raising the u.s. debt ceiling created an unprecedented climate of uncertainty over america's so-called sound economy the damage has 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 won't 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 is like being married to someone to serve. the rich or you want to know what'll i do. with this relationship the us will be in for a lot of the you'll be gaining share with the your community is making noises chinese making noises or 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. times 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 mortgages. which amounts to a huge tax like on the american people at the countdown near zero all three big reading giants movies fitch and standard and poor's threatened america's hollowed triple ace or unless the deal was hammered out and the fourteen point three trillion dollar debt 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 towers are flat all of this is that what we're trying to do is say we've got a little bit of money in the bank let's pay that debt 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 around the debt instead of us president repeatedly asked americans over the past week or so during the campaign to borrow and spend more make a phone call some of the e-mail tweet keep the pressure on washington and we can get past this while the eyes of the world's 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 a green on how to solve it. r.t. new york. and send her money the president of the new york based financial advisory firm says the u.s. political leaders and i have reached a deal overcoming their political differences much more quickly would have been better for the people. we had the possibility of having no deal which would have been the worst possible outcome and would have gotten us into

a default that fortunately is going to be averted right now what we're talking about is getting an extension so that we can pay our current bills and what is on the table is essentially our proposals that will cut spending anywhere between one to four trillion dollars over the next ten years look a lot of this i think is i mean it's good that it's happening the way it's happening is not very good because i think we were three to six months ago in a position where we probably could have had a more substantial deal to solve the problems i think we could have had something far superior to this if we did not have bitstreams data stream of both parties digging in for so long now over these last three months and a month ride well with an economy thrown greengrass capital that even that they needed crisis has the nevada's the american people still suffer the consequences of

irresponsible policy making washington may still see a downgrade of u.s. sovereign debt from aaa to double a and i don't think that it's a callous catastrophic outcome but it's serious it's negative and this process itself has and continues to hurt the faith and credit the world has in the united states it's very real the american business men and women and the american products all over the world that no longer have this sort of halo around them of a successful place that's impressive and interesting but now may even flip over to having a negative association and which people begin to associate the united states with out of control and irresponsible policy making. and the u.s. is not the only plate struggling to deal with financial crisis that massive debts in europe are dragging more and more countries into trouble with persisting concern over the economic stability of the eurozone and the impact which problems are nothing. we should have amputated greece from the euro zone long abou the greek drain has started to affect spain as the country prepares for the worst of

a grade rating exacerbated by fears over the new european deal to rescue the unstable euro zone partner so we'll report on that in just a people. also has admitted that pilot error led to the polish presidential plane crash in western russia which killed the president left a chance can scores of the country's top officials but the government commissions delayed part of the blame on russian air controllers for the disaster in april last year. the reports now of how a national tragedy has become overtaken by politics. another day another blame game very own probe into last year's presidential plane crash and all but confirmed the findings of russia's investigation that the crew was almost solely responsible for the tragedy of this point there is an obstacle i treated the aircraft collides with a fragment of the left wing is detached the aircraft begins their iteration 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 for here's where the approach controller two thousand metres away should have told the crew to stop descending horizon command should have been issued exactly the same moment the show's landing zone controller was performing his duty in an incorrect way and these three. such statements come as little surprise to experts with some of them saying acceptance of total responsibility would be impossible for the 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 can the blame on anybody else but i do think that they are looking to pin some of

the blame on somebody else aviation experts alco this opinion calling the swipes against the russian side and substantial some of the 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 your reserve board the initial russian out 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 and people put it to scare i think we're now witnessing simplistic 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 immediately before the flight surgeon paul 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 in place all speculation regarding this millennium plane crash but instead it 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 year we know that in two months after being. parliamentary elections this report and all that issue but it will be use it or 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 it got and has shuffled it off on to his staff nevertheless he's responsible for all the games he played with the russians he's responsible that the poles are not conducting or even participating in the

investigation he's responsible for not defending polish interests imposed on or at the international forum 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 playful 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. forty 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 detail inside of the tragedy as he'd come forward it's always 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 step down unless he undertakes is sweeping economic reforms he's pulis lir attend is the biggest demonstration intel of it for us all these really happened to him fifty thousand people here with the most popular chant being we demand 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 the israeli prime minister bibi netanyahu in fact is he trying his name is mentioned he is why are you here tonight i'm here because it's just because you need to live in this country anymore we work. and we do and we keep on giving and there's no end to this this is a chance this is the only one has to change is because you don't have any other

choice would you say people have been inspired by the demonstrations taking place in their services rather what is your sign saying. guzzling. why do you want him to go home. alone because of the politicized and it should be salman stray sions i mean inspired by the protests we saw taking place in the arab world well i think there's a lot of influence of what's happening to. syria lebanon and what you see in libya old still there's a lot of good job. that's when people understand i do have the power that they can . be denied but instead they don't need any more government to tell them what to do they can start telling the government what they want. to do you know they can they can start to study projects go. back to what they think is the spirit of revolution here a number of these really populist sun singers have also been taking to the stage

and like something that was done you had chorus and i'm translating and you know you've created this you chose. between forty five and one hundred people have been killed in syria by government forces storming this is he of hama according to local human rights groups u.s. president obama has vowed to increase pressure on the regime after this fresh round of violence but it's about time president of the arab lawyers association says western provinces alone won't bring positive results president obama says what he's saying everybody in syria and other world will be here to respond. one time or. the rest of the afghanistan situation all of these things and it's really futile and it doesn't you know give any comfort however i think the west can actually and the world can assist the syrian regime we don't it's a policy of quiet contact but playing to them what are the ways that they can move

into this rather than just making statements and changing the laws seem to be content with them being in making these crazy statements why would the regime is lets them out or not. later in the program. the depression where it spreads across japan surrendered to go trees already high suicide rates soaring as a designer radiation grips the population falling marchers earthquake and tsunami. there's a crisis raging in europe is claiming more and more economic sculpts spain's suffering recession and unemployment has now been put on review by the credit rating agency moody's and the international monetary fund has warned france that its credit rating could be slashed if it does not impose more spending cuts meanwhile the eurozone is because bailout received their degrees has been dealt another blow by one of europe's main creditors and germany's finance minister has warned you won't

write a blank check to buy back the bonds of countries in a move also intended to deter other troubled states from believing more relief is on the way despite reckless boring and economics also patrick young says kreis that should have been pushed out of the year 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 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

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 entered closer to the idea of a toll called euro meltdown. so the u. is under strain but a country which has as its headquarters belgium is literally a breaking point it's on the verge of splitting between the flemish speaking north and the french speaking south and as r.t. has daniel bushell reports other e.u. countries will be watching developments carefully for fear they could be repeated at home. saw some of the divorce before planning bit mixed marriage. of the southern region of belgium because we will fix the government record fourteen months fridge speech in the cells and flip the speaking floor nourse disagree pretty much everything. but most likely all call.

this month flames and burning out have been shooting two hundred fifty meters up into the sky in boats the strongest of the recent eruption is the latest victim city began on thursday morning and continued into the weekend ok so he's all the damage has been reported so far. japan is struggling to cope with the psychological consequences of martyred tsunami and earthquake with an already high suicide rate of rising in a further since the catastrophe the government is concerned the country could be in the group of a depression epidemic with many worried by radiation fears after the nuclear disaster which followed sean thomas reports now from japan. a triple disaster on a scale the world has never known causing damage destruction and uncertainty forcing tens of thousands of japanese refugees to leave their lives behind and seek shelter anywhere they can some people do. the bucket but the the the

problem is the minority they be they have been accused by. their classmates or you know of course by offshore. that they are causing. the people who make these not. primarily a move towards itself preservation this idea of desertion is defined by many as characteristically and in germany is and has earned of those who have evacuated the dishonorable title of traitor. of course it's hard to hear that we have family members we think about our health but in other words we run away we escape because we're scared of radiation but there is no example in the world of something similar and the consequences are still ongoing. while those who have moved to shelters here in tokyo are facing it guilt and the pressure to move back home there are others who have lost everything cannot handle the overwhelming change and they are facing

even darker demons japan already has one of the highest suicide rates in the world and following the disaster in march the government has issued a warning about a possible nationwide epidemic of depression here are some organic farmers committed suicide because you know. soil is everything they've. all after many hours of hard work and it's just contaminated and i think you know so. far. i'm very sad to hear the news. and many other farmers are also very much depressed a recent national survey in japan performed by dr roshini and his team shows that suicide rates in japan have been found increased in the months since the disaster compared to the same time frame in the previous two years of the demographics are not what you might expect. a late increase.

but if you're years because some struggling and you go through life if they have not had to something to mix and say this disaster has certainly taken its toll on japan's economy and such constant reminders of an intense topic can harm the collective psyche of the people who live here as well because of the. tsunami disaster last year disaster many people actually lost their jobs or their working on the show was crushed. so. yeah they have a for many good reasons to commit suicide. causing japan's death toll to keep rising even though the mishal disaster subsided months before in japan sean thomas color t.v. . characters and i'll be back in

a couple of minutes so they we kept our top stories they changed. the people of the united states and our friends and allies will not live at the mercy of an outlaw regime that threatens the peace with weapons of mass murder is

regime as an actor program to acquire and develop nuclear weapons and let there be no doubt about we know for a fact there are weapons there. this were just being carried out in the direction of dr david kay respected scientist and former u.n. inspector was leading the weapons search in iraq we are determined to take this apart we have a tremendous a group of dedicated american men and women involved in this with the best assets of the intelligence community and for by. david kay he is not going to be done with this for quite some time david kay wants more time and he says it could take another six to nine months to make a definitive finding ministration is asking congress for hundreds of millions more six hundred million dollars to fund a continuing search have not yet found shiny pointy things that i would call a weapon before we draw from conclusions we need to let the iraqi survey group complete its work. we were all wrong probably in my judgment.

and that is most disturbing. sometimes the true patriots take the unpopular course that helps their country of origin stakes and even if they come this way at least from track patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels and i think these are scoundrels they have no argument now they have no defense for what they did the country is in a terrible international security situation and i think it's perilous so they're attacking the patriotism of others. will. bring you the latest in science and technology from the realm. we set up the future.
