borrowing is owed by foreign countries experts say washington's mismanagement may cause investors to abandon the devalued dollar and end their partnership with america is like being married to someone decide. they were jerks you well know what or why do how much can i put up with this relationship the u.s. will be in for the only game in. the. making noises chinese making noises you know we're alone now in our ability to be a repository of refining in the world the results 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 core
12:04 pm
loans which amounts to a huge tax hike on the american people as they count down near zero all three big rating giants movies hitch and standard and poor's threatened america's hallowed triple. a school unless a deal was hammered out and that fourteen point three trillion dollar debt getting higher economists say america's unsustainable budget deficits are the biggest threats to the nation it's like the batteries we're now in this part. 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 say that 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 creating any way to get out of the debt instead of the u.s. president repeatedly asked americans over the past week or two during the campaign to borrow and spend more. than e-mail tweet keep the pressure on washington
12:05 pm
and we can go first 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. r.t. new york. city was a financial journalist and editor of your money konami publication with very early bird let's talk to no show really hi there thank you being on the program so normally because of how we know this last minute deals have put the first vote in congress. for all the u.s. economy's color of bills or they just delaying the inevitable do you think. definitely the latter the inevitability of that system that has been hoisted on americans in the rest of the world is something that sooner or later is going to have to be realized and the price will be paid this sort of
12:06 pm
a charade that we've witnessed over the past month and a half or so is this debate is heated up in the name stream media has continually bombarded people with fear especially the pensioners and their and the retirees that you know the checks will be in the mail all this is is a distraction meant it's meant to get people on the telephones and tweeting as obama wants and through to the local politicians and try to get them to have a base for continuing this this circumspect circumspect circumspect system we do not have any means at this moment kind of getting out of bed as long as the people who are running the political structure of america and the central bank of america continue to believe that you can print money as a way to get out of a crisis which is completely existence because of the fact that they've been doing that all along to begin with and you know this this isn't anything more than a band-aid and it's like story alcohol down the throat of a drunken expecting him to become sober it doesn't work it will never work and so he will talk about the broader picture the middle and they do what happens if all goes wrong let's focus and even if washington does manage to avoid to fold this
12:07 pm
time around as this very public political stalemate in pickering already used investors trust in the u.s. . i look at it a different way kevin i look at it hopefully it's opened up people's eyes so they can see in front of them the crisis that is that is seriously looming into into a real serious situation what we've had so far is just a warm up act and if people are paying attention then that means people will be able to take individual steps to to avoid the calamity that is in front of us this is no laughing matter any longer and people can no longer just turn a blind eye to the amount of debt that's been artificially created and the disastrous effects that are coming home to roost the entitlements need to be split slashed and military spending overseas has got to stop america has to rein it in and people have to get down to reality and realize that unless they do the whole thing is just going to be one great big debt balloon that's going to explode over america creating the worst financial hurricane of the world has ever seen so i want
12:08 pm
you to paint a picture for me now what if it doesn't get through want to an agreement isn't reached before the deadline what it will it will it will be reached and i don't think there's any shop it won't be they've got all the ammunition they need now on both sides of the aisle to act like they usually do which is as one one aisle. dialectic as well in play here and this is just been a charade that it's going to go through so i don't think there's much point in talking about is ok fair enough is there a danger that america's might lose its aaa credit school. they should have lost a long ago this whole aaa credit rating score and that you know the risk free trader eases people like to refer to them as the whole thing is ludicrous if you really peel back the layers of this of this dead body and look underneath of it what you'll see is that ever since the federal reserve was put in place since nine hundred thirteen they've been devaluing the dollar through it and insidious process of a hidden taxation which is being levied against every human being out there that has dollars in their savings accounts retirees savers of any sort in any country their
12:09 pm
leverage to the u.s. dollar this process of destruction is one whereby when montauk cattle get out of the local grocery store to fill up their grocery cart when they go out and go to chelsea pay for it they realize that the dollar doesn't go quite this far they don't quite understand why but they know that the bureau statistics in the united states and their ridiculously low and under reported rates of inspiration are not really the reality of the situation on the ground so this iteration is far from real. thanks for being with us financial journalist as you are joining someone from barcelona today thank you. thank you. several nato states threatening action against syria says eye witnesses report that the country's security forces have renewed their attacks on the city of hama more than one hundred people are said to have been killed on sunday when government tanks forced their way into a position stronghold russia's condemned violence in syria calling on both sides the government and opposition to abstain from brutality and applied by the law he's
12:10 pm
called for the emergency u.n. security council meeting to discuss the situation which will be held on monday that's with the even posing more sanctions on damascus let's get more of what's happening in syria then talk to jonathan directly he's a political science is joining us to learn from the jonathan thanks for being on artsy international much appreciate you taking the time when there were fourteen hundred now reported killed in syria's violent crackdown there is the u.n. likely to make a stronger stand. well i hope so very much and it's absolutely over to you but i have doubts that there will be meaningful effective sanctions by the u.n. security council also because maybe russia and china felt after traits how things went through of libya but at least i hope there will be a strong condemnation of the regime and i'm very much hoping for stronger and effective sanctions from our coalition of other states for example european union well it's national pressure is mounting on syria is there
12:11 pm
a danger where heading for a repeat now of the libya scenario maybe well i don't think so because. the syrian regime is really minority regime and. sect is now ruling and i think that it has much less. of a power base inside syria and in libya. fractions inside the country are much more complicated in syria so i'm hoping that it's. bases off the ocean it's not just looking at what's happening in egypt as the speaking tonight i mean the arab spring revolutions haven't brought about quick changes of they could any potential regime change in syria happen any quicker than what we've witnessed elsewhere if it did happen. well as i said. chances i think are petty in syria
12:12 pm
because it's really clear that the power of the people who are in power now really do not represent the people of syria so a way of protesters are chanting the people who runs to overthrow the regime think they can do it with some legitimacy and also what i see from the syrian opposition . i think they have at least the right ideas and i have a good admission for the future of the country and i think they deserve all the support that they can get from the west and other countries with these new e.u. extended sanctions on the country what kind of power base there's a sad have left in the country and realistically how long do you think you'll hold out as president while it's hard to say how long he can stay in power pots finger we have to see clearly that he a slave is tracked down it's not a sign of strength but a sign of weakness or what regime couldn't really stop the protests for months now
12:13 pm
for over four months now and they in vain try to offer the opposition some kind of fake reforms and it's really clear that. reforms are not an option especially in a situation where you have protective tauriel regime that is ruled by a minority in any meaningful regime is equals. regime change so i think maybe our side will stay a little bit longer in power if this prove to correct our own part of fink in the long run he will fall ok jonathan likely scientist i'm sure your thoughts on the program for billy. it's. gyptian troops are crushed with protesters camping out in the center of cairo hundreds of demonstrators were cleared away from tahrir square where they've been gathered for weeks to demand faster reforms of the figures revolution where this is a new uprising maybe starting despite attempts by the interim government to
12:14 pm
suppress it the violence was very severe there was a lot of people with bloodied faces and serious head injuries that i saw and it's not clear exact numbers of injuries but i would be in the thousands would be easy to guess and i don't know the reports that have been run killed but they have been completely rested definitely their demands will probably be the same as a lot of the rest of the protest movement is a good end to the military trials which protesters are being subjected to politic and or malaysian officials perhaps slow civilian trials protesters on the streets are being sent through a very speedy and military system that would also be they're supposed to rise in the minimum wage but basically the idea is that not enough is trying that they want more they want to revolution not just the resignation of one man and this is definitely here i mean honestly and other human rights organizations have to say that their best advice and support things like the now infamous unity jets referee
12:15 pm
my protesters were tested by the army says they were persians in their words i mean others would call it right there's been plenty of places very unfair trials in beatings and torture that's been reported through incredible organizations. would definitely line a similar process there's almost no question about. some people here say that the first revolution is still not over that was just the beginning. coming up on r t with me kevin no internet rewriting history veterans of hitler's clash troops hold a rally in a style in iraq being banned in other countries it's stirring fears of revived naziism in europe right now. next to israel tonight thousands are preparing for industrial action there in protest against the government in tel aviv the planned strikes follow a weekend of massive demonstrations over rising house prices and escalating cost of living people demanding social justice and better working conditions that his policy is following the latest for us in tel aviv. well of the stage it certainly doesn't seem as if tonight's protest here in tel aviv will reach the kind of
12:16 pm
numbers we saw over the weekend some twenty four thousand people have signed up on facebook and like the demonstrations happening here in israel over the past two and a half weeks tonight's approach instance also being organized online the grievances are much the same people are criticizing the israeli government's economic policies they are calling on the israeli prime minister or any given that on yahoo to resign but also calling for regime change now a short time ago today was a meeting between israeli president shimon peres and a number of the protest tent organizers it was initiated by the president he said he wanted to hear what their demands were and following that needs and he said that what needed to be corrected would be corrected this is a very different tone to what we're hearing coming out of the israeli prime minister netanyahu scamp that some yahoo itself has been pushing over these protests his spokesperson has come on record saying that these protests are out of proportion he says that the israeli economy is healthy and sound although there
12:17 pm
certainly is a disagreement within the politicians because we know that the director general of the finance ministry has resigned we also know that a special committee has been says have done it on after themselves to look at how to deal with these protesters and they grievances at this stage it seems unlikely that these demonstrations will dissolve into violence although having said that this past weekend on the weekend before after the official demonstrations ended there were a number of protesters who simply sat in the roads and refused to be moved and they were forcibly removed by police a number of us were made and they certainly was the mood and attention on the streets that they would be violence now there is another protest being organized online it's being dubbed the million man march and really tens of thousands of people have signed up for that it's a protest that scheduled to take place the first weekend of next month and it certainly echoes what we saw happening in egypt over the past few months where there were several million man march as maybe the best way to describe the mood in israel the. it is what was said by
