a torturous and lengthy road to reach inclement has down as to america's reputations senator from illinois help us avoid the fall debt ceiling nation default and this crisis time's running out the entire world is watching it's been a public spectacle filled with the 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 which five trillion dollars of america's borrowing is owed by foreign countries experts say washington's mismanagement may

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 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
7:07 am
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 my last economic saying spent months of the volvo about what's ahead for the u.s. sponsored once the deal is in place he believes that the spines of an immediate threat of default washington has failed to produce a solution capable of sustaining america's 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
7:08 am
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 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 that has and continues to hurt 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
7:09 am
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 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
7:10 am
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 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. but you had to call him for the full version off that interview with knives and both opinions and analysis from us on the content on that with much more on all. the online right now norwegian investigators discover that on the. news palm prints something signed just quit needed for the massacre that took the lives of seventy seven. and wants to massacre video of a violent tornado is seeping through russia's far east as it calls the paul destruction.

a hundred people on sunday when government forces raided this is your home are with tanks wreaking havoc on the opposition strongholds it's the latest round of crackdowns on protesters who according to president bashar al assad to step down more than one and a half thousand people are said to have been killed in clashes since march germany wants an emergency session of the u.n. security council to convene on monday or syria's already addressed that american and new sanctions but so far i'm moved up president is the arab noise the satiation think the west doesn't have the credibility to interfere in syria is the fact this . the interference of the outside world in my view can be counterproductive unless it's damage to property rather than just making wild statements like for instance the usa would decide whether the president of syria is next in this you or not
7:13 am
everybody is asking what right do the americans have to put this question anyway let alone deciding it but they seem to be doing this said electively they've done it with syria not delegate with libya but of the same time they have not done it with yemen they have. done it with other places where there is uprising including. when president obama says what he's saying everybody in syria and in the arab world with the big you respond back i want them all bad about abu ghraib and about the rest of the afghanistan situation all of these things so dreams are low and it doesn't give any comfort that generally speaking the world seems to be content with condemning and making these wild crazy statements whether it's you know the regime is less than a dollar not there or whether it should be it's using use of force the world can play at all but i think at the present moment it's not playing that i cards russia has stopped short of the porty any u.n. resolution targeting damascus the kremlin warns that steps could lead to
7:14 am
a libya style off the now area where the nato led coalition has been accused of stepping outside the limits of its un mandate that's just over an hour's time lost his deputy foreign minister tells r t why the syrians should be solving their problems themselves. programs we believe that the syrian 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 of the scale of public protest on the other hand we should learn our lessons a number of international players tend to degrees 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.
7:15 am
this is serious the situation in syria has left many wondering how can this crisis be resolved to share your opinion on the issue visit all web site and con's deliberate also just number of pages feel that staying away from serious problems altogether is the best approach around a favor a peaceful solution to the conflict suggesting our son should be helped in the stands and dialogue with the opposition of the twenty one percent of the opposition should be aided announcing our product and then hold free elections and the least number of the jews believe in more radical measures likes and it may take changed by the country if you haven't voted already heads to altie dot com. although not as them is condemned worldwide they're all still pockets of support in some areas of europe over the weekend dystonia veterans of the nazi s.s. which fought the allied troops in the second world war rallied on the anniversary
