first . it's not damage done washington announces a deal that could raise the debt ceiling avert default but critics say the move doesn't solve america's problems and its reputation is going down the drain. the u.s. and the e.u. stepped up their push for more sanctions against syria for a crackdown on reporters reportedly left more than one hundred people dead moscow says violence on either side of the country's conflict is unacceptable. egypt's own fire again the troops in cairo clashed with demonstrators demanding faster february's revolution. and a rare deadly tornado hits one far eastern russian city injuring dozens widespread . and on business crude oil prices are falling back down

but that has been a good thing for russia and the world economy more on that end business and. hello it's nine pm monday night here in moscow you're watching the live from the capital with me kevin now in this hour first u.s. lawmakers are gearing up to vote later on monday all of emergency deal to raise the country's debt ceiling and avoid potentially devastating default it was finally struck after weeks of stalemate and political wrangling between democrats and republicans the hard won compromise will let american borrowing continually be exchanged for more than two trillion dollars in cuts over the next decade agreement was reached after president obama's last ditch efforts to persuade both parties to set aside their differences the u.s. could send ripples throughout the world's fragile economy if its fourteen point

three trillion dollar debt limit isn't raised but she stays. been finding out fraud . see the bumpy road on eleventh hour consensus has already dealt a severe blow to america's reputation in the eyes of its investors and 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 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 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 end their partnership with america it's like being married to someone deciding after so many years they were jerks you want to know what or why do how much can i put up with this relationship the u.s. has been for a long time the only game in jail but the your community is making noises chinese making noises well 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 at the countdown near 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 that 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 dad but really because we're not creating any way to get out of the debt instead of a u.s. president repeatedly asked americans over the past week to join the campaign to borrow and spend more make

a phone call 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 nial r.t. new york with the johnson joins us now from california he is not to destroy the campaign for america's future which ones progress in the u.s. led to what he's going to say. you're going development show you are the thing to bring on are two lawmakers the last seem to have reached agreement don't buy but it's of course not a done deal yet till it's gone through it could still fall through in the vote in congress here. well i think the world doesn't need to worry that we are having a debt crisis there are a lot of people aren't happy here with this agreement by the agreement is so if

this is a manufactured crisis but the world doesn't need to know we're going to default on any day we're not you absolutely sure about that i mean what would hope would the worst case scenario be if it didn't go through you absolutely categorically show yourself that it will all go through smoothly later. if this deal doesn't go through the congress will vote to pass what's called a clean bill with no conditions because we will not allow to all ok now this deal involves nine hundred seventeen billion dollars in cuts doesn't it over the next said ok so when the people are going to be hardest hit by the cuts on this enormous scale well this is a two faced the oath first the first part is the many cuts but then there's a whole another round of all of them fall along people none of them fall on the wealthiest. and the one of the american public think about than the public has in polls overwhelmingly shown that they understand the problem we're having is that

there's a jobs crisis. jobs fix deficits that when you have people working they're paying taxes they're not collecting unemployment they are not getting food stamps and things like that and if we were to put money into investing in our infrastructure that would create jobs there also that would pay for itself by leaving behind the infrastructure making our our new work added the polls reflect this people want tax increases on the wealthy they want investment in infrastructure they want programs for jobs and i guess i'm going to be realistic as well because the bills have to be paid only well that's how you pay the bills you know the deficit down don't forget all of this hysteria you heard not to just a few months ago when the deal was to force it was another crisis they were going to holding hostage unemployment benefits for people in or were forced through an extension of tax cuts for the wealthy and that added the hundred billion dollars so

this problem we're having now but you didn't hear any of this hysteria the ratings agencies were threatening to downgrade our rating and things like that so this is a manufactured crisis. unfortunately there was no choice but to capitulate to but people are very unhappy with this they're tired of being held hostage they're tired of. elite rulers coming in and telling us how it's going to be. we the people in america being able to have our city on ok day johnson activists from the campaign for america's future good if your thoughts on the program tonight thank you thank you. several nato states a threatening action against syria tonight says i when it says report that the country's security forces have renewed their attacks on the city of hama more than one hundred people is said to have been killed on sunday when government tanks forced their way into the opposition stronghold russia's condemned the violence in syria calling on both sides the opposition and the government to abstain from

brutality and abide by the law germany many times called for the emergency u.n. security council meeting to discuss the situation which will be held later monday with the e.u. imposing more sanctions on the mascot's political analyst frank spring thinks serious problems should be settled without external interference. it's going to be a mix that of people who have decided that the way to deal with this issue is to take arms and contest for the monopoly of violence we've seen that happen in syria a number of times including in ninety two which of course resulted in a truly brutal crackdown tens of thousands of people killed so there is some of that there will also be beyond that a core of you know what syria's less developed civil society that have decided they've simply had enough so it's going to be a combination of the two and of course you would expect the regime to. exaggerate the role of armed insurgents in this or on forces and you know significantly downplay the number of simple of citizens who have just had enough and one of the reasons this is kicked off is people are unhappy at the same combination of concern

over military control and real economic hardship if you're not able to maintain that the energy subsidies among other things that the state is so often given its people that's led to this kind of unrest how much longer before you start having issues with your military payroll at that point you have a minority of officers directing come script in soldiers to fire on their own people and the conscripted soldiers aren't sure if they're getting paid and that's that is not a sustainable model for a country to continue repression like this. we turn to gyptian troops a clash of protesters were camping out in the center of cairo hundreds of demonstrators were cleared away from tahrir square where they've been gathering for weeks now to demand faster reforms after february's revolution my garments professor of modern history at oxford university he says egyptians are ready for another uprising because they see too much of the old regime and the new one the secular opposition who are happy with the changes and with barak they feel that military go to practice is a continuation of the old regime and also they want to have not been down well the

danger in two ways is when we could see this attempt to clear the square may well vote more protests more violence but beginning of ramadan the other hand it also may be a sign the government wants to use ramadan as a month to calm the situation before we're supposed to have elections. in eight weeks time now of course provoke more protests we could see as we've seen all across the arab world there. you really are the end of casting people won't just break their hospitals or demonstrate what we could see the government thinking that this will be an opportunity to correct some support from people who feel they've had enough demonstrations in cairo that you have a kind of weariness of the demonstrations but of course there are many people who are stopped demonstrating. which own could also die you all see from moscow with me clearly no in this hour it's good to have you with us ahead rewriting history that friends of the hitler cracked troops hold a rally in a stone year of being banned in other countries and that's stirring fears of

revived nazi is that when you are beautiful. focusing on israel next though there are thousands have taken industrial action in tel aviv in protest against the government the strikes follow a weekend of massive demonstrations over rising house prices and escalating cost of living people are demanding social justice and they want better working conditions our correspondent paula slee is there following the latest in tel aviv. israelis are mobilizing on the streets of tel aviv tonight in my day for another demonstration against the government although the numbers on my team to reach the tens of pounds and that we witnessed over the week and the demonstrations are much the same as it has been over the past two and off weeks it's been burglarized and mobilized online the grievances are against the israeli government's economic policies caused the israeli prime minister bibi netanyahu to resign as well as for a machine change now a short time ago the israeli president shimon peres mix with some of these to protest organizers he initiated the meeting in city wanted to see what the

grievances were and finding that means when they say that what needed to be changed would be changed a very different message compared to what we're hearing on to the next one we often have between now in the salt has been putting money over these protests since they began and we know that he is pushing play housing bill to be passed as quickly as possible this is a bill that looks at you walk us through the rounding construction mandate at the same time that an awful spokesperson said that means demonstrations were also a propulsion and that means rain economy with sound and healthy having said that though the director general of the finance ministry the science that's anomalous is a special committee to meet with the protesters and look into their grievances to sophie the government is struggling to deal with what is really one of the largest the midst of crises that they've had in recent years there are of course part of those being made between what's happening in this world cup we saw over the arab world to be arab spring in the past few months there was at this stage seem to be

no indications of this protest is old and into violence although whenever pentel there have been a number of arrests made that's according to this past weekend of the weekend before there was another mobilization happening on line for a million man march tens of thousands of israelis have already signed up for back which is scheduled to take place in those reclaimed of september perhaps the famous way to describe the mood here in this one at the moment is gone and if we. maybe politics in the state at this. late date on the merits of the country is simply war and back in one nine hundred forty eight or you see on t.v. a lot. before the situation in israel let's bring into the conversation though a razzie now from the israeli social movement the national left no thanks for being on r.t. it all started with dissatisfaction of a rising house prices then it moved on to social injustice as it now grown into nation wide discontent with the government in general what's your view. well first of all good evening and thanks for having us i think that it is going to be general

discontent from the government i think people long ago have seen more and more legislation moves that benefit the rich or benefit upper class and basically worsen the status of the middle class the middle class is suffering now in the middle class are the voters and when you go against them yes they will rise up against the government you know a lot of people drawing similarities between the events in israel right now what we've seen in north africa the middle east since the beginning of the year is that a fair comparison. in some ways yes and in some ways no i think in the crisis and protests in in africa are. basically brought the people to their greatest despair is i think we're not that. not in that great despair i think we have great motivation to change thing i think we believe in democracy and the

fact that we have a democracy and we can basically vote our opinions. in the elections is a great difference than the situation in north africa the people out on the streets in tel aviv over the weekend but it is one thing to be able to voice your opinion that's great but of course it's also very important to be heard as far as you're concerned we heard in our correspondent report there that. was largely numb to the protests what do you think do you think it will make people go to more extreme measures to make their voices heard. i think the general agreement with all protestors is that violence is not an answer i think we should try to make our voices be heard in any measure we can but violence is definitely not one of them we will continue until someone hears us if it's not him then we will go to election but violence is definitely not the answer would you like to see. and you mean netanyahu resigned. i think so i think this current government is not the

answer to what we're looking for. neoliberal economic measurements and way of thinking is benefiting the wrong people it's benefiting the six strong families in the israeli economy and not benefiting the people so i think this current government and its prime minister is not the answer to what we're looking for just briefly no more demonstrations planned where does it go from here that. we don't know this demonstration is moving day by day living it day one day at a time i believe we will see more demonstrations i will believe i believe we will hear more specific and more well organized ideas about how we should change things and how we want to see our future. i believe we will demonstrate until someone hears this and something changes i hope it will go to the election no or the from the israeli social movement the national left thanks for joining us from london

thank you very much. it was a lot for course on our web site out of your several stories you see news views pictures of so much on here like these tonight china opened its own coffee cup. for us to join furniture store in the style of the iconic swedish crown no doubt with meat balls as well it's an authentic imitation here right down to the navy yellow color of the free pencils and paper route for overtime more about online moscow's old architectural gems are getting a new lease of life but not in a good way they've been turned into bunny trucks start getting illegal immigrants who want the back story there we've got it for you tonight tito. veterans of hitler's elite troops who fought against the soviet army in world war two have traveled from around europe to hold an annual rally in a former members of the nazi waffen s.s. referred to locally as fighters for freedom we're joined by neo nazi groups of the

country but as artie's sort of first reports now it's feared that the stone is glorification of naziism is feeding dangerous far right movements across europe. association of former soldier of lawfulness. but it's something at the moment you don't think about late in the things about people but. for. him country and maced of year at these kind of events a band we cannot come to hear. it in a sting it's a different story altogether. it's common in the stone age and to call these people freedom fighters we hold our protest rallies on the same day they hold this event. in iraq that is what they had given allegiance to hitler not to tell them that they had never liberated dystonia moreover any of them were engaged in and all of them

are more or less accomplices of the crimes committed by nazi germany. in fact in recent years see a stain you know thirty five that made it increasingly difficult to come to oppose the events this year once again members of the anti fascist movement we detained at the buddha pool day that by the way the car we were traveling in was stopped for questioning on the way in i was stopped and i was told that i have an entropy bishan 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 movement of the revival of the far right across europe has caused growing concern right parties a gaining ground in countries that austria finland and france savage sluice are by far right extremists in this three vic in norway recently driven shame just how dangerous these he's willing i think this is

a problem off. the extremism far right wing extremism and the fact that authorities. close calls. there are. parts of this these who say far failed to take decisive action to stop nazi commemorations within its borders russia's push for international legislation to condemn the glorification of wartime fascism but events like the one in a sting you're making clarion a clear the not all countries are on board critics of this event hoggy that the gathering provides a for and for dangerous neo fascist i did the government's failure to ban it is seen at the very least as being morally and politically insensitive surf. dania. elsewhere around the world tonight's twenty five refugees from libya have been found dead on a boat which they used to sail to the italian island of lampedusa officials say the

russia as yvonne chicago from renaissance capital explains. if you look at the u.s. economy for example one reason why because it has not done very well in the photograph of you it is because the american consumer has suffered because of the high oil prices social have discovered also the use the purchasing power of the american consumer and again this is a drag on global growth in my opinion the best price for the global economy right now and maybe even for i choose not to convert them to it departments around one thousand five hundred dollars or a little bit of a. little bit would be nice you know prices right now i think would be very beneficial for united states for the world and for us. let's take a look at those oil prices right now light sweet is currently trading at nine to four dollars per barrel while brant is at one hundred sixteen. and over in the u.s. markets have turned sort of thing south after open positive initially investors were
