washington agrees on measures to avoid a default and end the debt crisis which is weighed heavy over america with a plan to save the country from an economic collapse it's criticized failing to solve the nation's long term financial and by. the west and threatens to punish the syrian regime for the nation's rather pratt downs on protesters which reportedly killed more than one hundred most cases condemned the violence and is calling on the warring sides in syria to maintain a ceasefire. alarming tendencies as a state he is known as the s.s. veterans and supporters hold rallies activists say the glorification of knowledge has the rise to nationalism and xenophobia across.

a very warm welcome see this is a lie from moscow u.s. and lawmakers are finally reached an emergency deal to avoid a disastrous debt default off two weeks of political bickering and stalemate if paulse by congress the two step compromise will permit american boring to continue after tuesday's deadline in exchange for more than two trillion dollars in federal cuts over the next decade well the deal was struck off a held last ditch details of talks with democrats and republican leaders. on increasing america's debt limits however the political struggle is far from those over key issue of the house of salads the bottles being put off pro and made to date but as marina point ny reports the two. roots reach of the cream and has damaged america's reputation. help us avoid the fall debt ceiling nation default
6:04 am
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 a 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 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 it's like being married to someone deciding it just so when they were jerks you want to know what do i do how much can i put up with this
6:05 am
relationship the u.s. will be in for a long time the only game in jail but the european community is making noises chinese making noises were you know we're not 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 mortgages and on kora loans which amounts to a huge tax hike on the american people as the countdown neared zero all three big rating giants movies fitch and standard and poor's threatened america's hallowed triple a score unless a deal was hammered out and the fourteen point three trillion dollar debt getting
6:06 am
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 debt 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 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 agreeing on how to solve
6:07 am
it in a port niall r.t. new york. economics expert months in front of wolf about what's ahead for the u.s. budget once the deals in place he believes that despite the media threat of default washington has failed to produce a solution with the sustained the america's insatiable appetite for borrowing. this whole crisis started as an opportunity of political theater these guys couldn't even choreograph success out of their fake crisis and so now we have a huge international failure which has already done possibly lasting and certainly serious damage to the standing and reputation of the united states of america how hasn't much been mentioned that not a single plan out there reduces the national debt they just change the speed by which it grows all the showdown all this fanfare is about changing the exact forecast ten years speed of debt growth none of these plans make real efforts to
6:08 am
reduce the long term problem of insufficient revenue and these plans do reduce spending in ways that will be painful and for many communities in the united states transformative but that will only reshift focus on to the more important long term issues of the absolute in sustainability of being committed which we are committed to having insufficient revenue for the amount of spending that we're going to be doing for the forseeable future while having a fourteen point three trillion dollars national debt this process itself i have pointed to news to her the faith and credit the world has in the united states united states has the kind of budget imbalance that normally does occasion a downgrade we do have a particular set of opportunities in the united states not available to countries which is a good reason not to downgrade and that is we can print the world's global reserve currency not without debasing and devaluing that currency but we can print it so the united states borrows in dollars and has the sole unique legal right to pay things and produce dollars which is eniac situation and makes us more credit worthy
6:09 am
a downgrade which i think is quite possible and the sheer spectacular public failure of the american political system will take a while to figure out but they will not be minor and they will not be positive just so people know the statutory debt limit of the united states has been raised ninety times since one nine hundred forty that's an average of one point three to one point. times a year every single year there's another funny thing that no one seems to mention about the debt ceiling which i find interesting something of an economic historian and that is that the debt ceiling came into being in one nine hundred seventeen because people in the united states were afraid that congress would enter world war one the looming conflict of its day and the idea was to make sure that our government the united states government didn't enter us into wars without being sure they could pay for them without being mindful not to increase the national debt a lesson that i think we were prudent to be concerned with in one nine hundred seventeen and someone failed to remind us of as we went into afghanistan and iraq so there's
6:10 am
actually a very interesting historical story around the debt ceiling or statutory debt limit which i've noticed hasn't been much told of late well head to dot com for the full version all five months both the beauty and the balance is on the u.s. economic conscious they both know as well with much smaller also on offer online right now no we didn't investigate his discomfort with the mandate he's going to shake things like a prize the clinton he did for them asking for to the winds of seventy seven. and it was so dramatic video of a finding to an eighty something through the russians the far east because the palm springs.

6:13 am
in syria and out of world will immediately respond back about one time and then about abu ghraib and about the rest of the afghanistan situation all of these things so dreams hallow and it doesn't give any comfort generally speaking the world seems to be content with condemning and making these wild crazy statements without its you know the regime is less than it or not or without it should be it's using use of force the world can play on all but i think at the present moment it's not playing the right cards. russia is joining the warring sides in syria to refrain from violence but still opposes any u.n. resolution targeting damascus mosque a warns that steps could lead to libya. where the nato led coalition has been accused of stepping outside the limits of its un mandate in around twenty minutes russia's deputy foreign minister tells why the syrians should be solving the
6:14 am
problems themselves. with the programs we believe that the syrians should address your problems as part of their domestic agenda this is an internal civil conflict and it should not be internationalized as for the situation in libya of course every country is unique in terms of its particular situation the background of its conflict the form and the scale of public protest on the other hand we should learn our lessons a number of international players tend to digress from the strict observation of both the instructions and the spirit of these resolutions therefore we are not really concerned that such loose interpretations could only result in making some of the opposition circles taking their position and ordered for a tougher approach which is by no means a post of achievement in terms of finding a mutually acceptable solution. well the serious and situation in syria has many wondering how can this crisis itself want to share your opinion on the issue do you think that all website calls
6:15 am
to all votes and so far we can see that the largest number of pages that are going away from serious problems are together is the best to citizenship around a third of a for at least full resolution to the conflict to directing us down to health and starts with dialogue with the opposition while another eighteen percent of the opposition should be aided in ousting assad and then hold free elections and the least number of they didn't believe the more radical measures like sending naysay cheats to occupy the country with a few hundred votes already. had to ask dot com i have to say. how they narcissism is condemned worldwide there are still pockets of support in some areas of europe over the weekend as stony and veterans of the s.s. which fought the allied troops in the second world war rallied on the anniversary of a battle with the red army at the same time or thought refused to authorize
6:16 am
a rival anti fascist demonstration as i discovered a stone is show of support the narcissism is feeding a dangerous new ultra right. we're here in the estonian town the cinema that in one thousand nine hundred forty four is a scene of fierce fighting between saviors soldiers and yes this is where here by the monument to commemorate the soviet soldiers that died in that fight less than a mile away and this also the scene of the gathering of veterans of this day near that sort of game widespread criticism of the glorifying not theism. of. association of former soldiers the officers i off or on but it's something at the moment you don't think about later or think about people but. the war that for a. country and most of year at these kind of events and.
6:17 am
in order to hear. it in a sting it's a different story altogether. it's common in the story you to call these people freedom fighters we hold our protest rallies on the stream do you do you hold this event to remind them what they are given allegiance to hitler to tell them that they had never liberated dystonia moreover none of them are engaged and all of them are more or less accomplices of the crimes committed by nazi germany. in fact in recent years the astin you know thirty's have made it increasingly difficult for those who come to oppose the event this year once again members of the anti fascist movement we detained at the buddha pulled over by the police the car we were traveling in was also stopped for questioning on the way in i was stopped and i was told. i have a trip to the country and of course they don't want any kind of other opinions than their own opinion which is very very much supporting the. revival of the

6:22 am
building here in the center of moscow was formerly empty we heard that now there are many immigrants living here in very poor conditions are illegally right in the center of the city. they would perhaps have gone unnoticed if it weren't for the fuss raised by quiet center a group of local residents wanting the migrants off their doorstep. you seriously think it's good for you to live in crowded conditions who knows what diseases they may have many of them don't work where they get money to eat make stealing or committing other crimes that's almost ego or his fellow activists call the authorities and the next day we return with offices of the federal migration service. for. the migrants who do work in their doors soon wish they hadn't course they might hear you paying rent to you for this place. but i'm just against you just again do you live here.

6:24 am
all over moscow is unemployed and often illegal immigrants they're forced to pave stay in old in abandoned buildings if they can't they're thrown out and what about the illegality of this day the local housing committee in turn shares its earnings with the city council and a district police inspector because it's impossible without their consent when we took these allegations to the federal migration service they admitted it wasn't the migrants fault they wanted someone to live in moscow central district government was even more damning confirming our suspicions and admitting the rot goes deep inside the housing administration that's clear the way they did you know disorder it really are proceeding should be initiated and the kids should be in this to get into into court or else other officials abusing their job positions will worsen the habit of letting dilapidated houses to legal migrants. our investigation revealed just a small part of the scheme to charge illegal rents at hundreds of sites across moscow to people in a desperate position and by providing false hope of
