a word which will return saddam did to go and. read this in the kernel was her job as a retreat. the house of representatives has approved a bill to increase the u.s. debt limits paving the way for the senate to budge on the plan to default but i think it's say even if the bill passes through congress months of political bickering has severely damaged america's reputation worldwide. also the u.s. and the use step up their push for more sanctions against syria after the latest crackdown on protesters reportedly leaves more than one hundred people dead with moscow condemning violence from both sides. and the gyptian troops clash with protesters in cairo as security forces moving to break up a rally by protesters demanding faster political change demonstrators have been camping out into rehab square for weeks calling for swifter reforms after five reasons for funding.

news from russia and iran the world this is all see with me thanks for joining us after months of political squabbling u.s. lawmakers in the house of representatives have finally approved an emergency deal to raise the country's debt ceiling to avert a potentially devastating default now it's up to the senate to support the legislation. is following developments in the u.s. capitol for. lawmakers did finally hash out a deal party leaders with the white house and now of course the senate the other chamber here in the u.s. congress is also expected to vote on this the timing is a lot more tricky on this but the majority leader harry reid does expect for some sort of vote this evening there is a lot of criticism i mean standard and poor has said that they might not they might not be willing to keep the u.s.

prize aaa rating as it is regardless of what comes out of this they don't think the cuts go deep enough and quite frankly this kind of last minute negotiating really taking the nation to the brink of default right against the clock is it's not a positive sign for the markets for other financial watchers it's quite an embarrassment here in the u.s. and please let's we all have to keep in mind that this whole debate over the debt limit really is about previous spending spending that the united states has already agreed to make it does not address the bigger deficit problem and the long term picture the long term fiscal health of the united states so the raising the debt limit has been heavily criticized by some who say it's a big victory for republicans but. would you repeal. the end. i think the republicans and the tea party one i think this whole deal is really ransom basically to get back the government because they basically brought the

government to its knees with their threats and their pressure both obama and the republicans are going to claim a victory here obama you know acted responsibly you know he did default he averted so far a downgrade which still could happen by the ratings agency you know he looks good as a leader and as a broker or a negotiator the republicans say no we changed the whole game we enforced our issues on the agenda we won so they're arguing about who deserves to win but who is lost is the issue american working people are losing both again on friday new economic data came out saying that our economy is not growing at all in fact unemployment remains very high foreclosures remain very high they're talking about this being a possible new recession where others see it as a possible new depression because no recovery is taking place and by cutting

government spending when you have this kind of economic crisis you're likely to actually intensify the crisis rather than resolve the crisis and that's the problem here are we on a suicide mission we may be you know basically gesturing you know to kind of deal with debt at the same time make it impossible for the government to play any role to save the economy in the economy is going down rapidly. and the decision on capitol hill has far reaching implications for america's economy that after the base have passes and wrangling the question out the question of rises to about how it affects the political situation in the u.s. and samoa now joins me live from atlanta georgia by jason johnson a professor of political science at hiram college mr johnson thank you so much indeed for your time so the u.s. has a vote to default just hours before the deadline how much is this situation washington's

fault oh it coarsely washington all the. go this has to do with partisan right. or are you part of the ultra party and really none of this is helping americans with jobs and so in the end there are little victories and this is really is washington the crux of the problem. the bill the away this bill is the outcome of a battle between the democrats and the republicans and on capitol hill so which of the parties can claim victory over its contents and the compromises. well it's interesting you know who wants a clean break. and that's all that's left of congress' approval ratings have dropped to twenty percent of the president's approval ratings have dropped no one wants to claim victory or a bill that no one is really happy with it so you're not going to hear or you're going to hear a lot of people so for a while where you know what you're going to hear is people saying let's move forward and try to get their overall system before the end of the year. effect so

well these bots which went to the why haven't the political climate in the us and how will it impact the twenty twelve presidential election from from your point well it's going to a huge impact on two thousand and twelve at least in the short term for obama is what once the who already has overhead yes strangely he still has a higher worry now all the way to this point in his career that he did at this point in scooter or jimmy carter so he can recover if you can reassert leadership and do something about the economy which was so sixty miles away because it has got to do something to reinspire the public because those laws. the bill of provides us policy a special committee to come up with new ways of cutting spending so how do you think this is going to play out. well it's going to be excited about all of this new committee is going to be put together it's not particularly democratic it's not something we're going to be able to express their opinion one way or another and so

it's not helpful but i think this credit was so bad the consequences for both sides were so high i think because they don't push through a policy that will obviously get houses and work on the economy again i don't think anyone wants to repeat those battles six months or ten most republicans or democrats right jason johnson professor of political science at hiram college thank you very much indeed said thank you. the air in part of america's possible default has resonated far and wide as russia's prime minister vladimir putin says that the current deal struck by u.s. lawmakers will not solve and delighting problems in the american economy and he said raising the debt ceiling yet again merely postpones inevitable difficulties. actually there's nothing good about it we're just postponed making more systemic decisions this colossal debt fourteen trillion or more means of the country has

been living on credit which is really bad for one of the world's leading economies this means they live beyond their means and put a part of that burden on the entire world's economy to some extent they sponge on the world's economy and on them on a political position this means that firstly other reserve currency should show up in the world not just the dollar and the euro should be consolidated to come up with a regional reserve currencies the ruble can become a regional reserve currency. and they cannot wait for this but we're now joined by patrick chovanec at professor said university school of economics and management in beit j. in. the trick thank you very much indeed for joining us right now is that how they were has been averted by the u.s. economy with this agreement. well certainly the worst has been averted it's probably a step in the right direction and it does take the us

a significant step towards a fiscal responsibility but of course it gave everyone a scare and i think it highlighted the fact that there are growing concerns about the big gap that's emerging between revenues and expenditures not just immediately but especially in the out years and this takes some steps towards towards dealing with that. china has blasted american lawmakers to being too partisan. what conclusions do you think china and other countries worldwide will draw from this particular situation. well look this whole process where these issues are thrashed out between multiple parties in an open ever serial process this is something that doesn't happen in china the chinese aren't used to and they're not comfortable with but having said that look i think that they need to ask themselves is it better to have this disruptive process and come to

a result that actually leads towards some fiscal responsibility or is it better to sort of just brush it under the rug not have the open debate but then not really have steps towards a resolution i think in the long run the concrete results is actually going to be more important than the disruptive process. of course we know most politicians in the u.s. sound the influence of a little being but big corporations get the current policy taken all the concerts and see which obviously those big companies would not want. why couldn't they don't make it get their act together as. well because you have a big difference of opinion in the united states between people who want smaller government less taxes and people who think that the government needs to step forward and take a more active role in the economy and then people especially on the higher income end of the spectrum should pay more and so you've got a big debate and

a lot of disagreement and i don't think it's so much the rule of corporations as it is the role of grassroots. voters people. politician will the united states will always rather have votes than money because money is simply a way of getting out reaching out to people for votes so really what was driving this was the feelings of different people throughout the u.s. and big difference of opinion between them. how do you expect the markets to. me the asian markets turned it trading today in the red. what i think that probably markets are right now are sifting through exactly what all this means and there still is the possibility of a downgrade of u.s. debt because this is this compromise didn't reach the levels of savings three to four trillion that some of the rating the agency said that they wanted to see in

order to avoid a downgrade so there still is some uncertainty but i think this is taking a lot of the more immediate uncertainty out of things and the markets hate uncertainty above all else they might not like this as the best outcome but they would prefer a certain outcome in this is least what this provides right and finally the taps should the u.s. take to return the american economy around. well it's the same with the u.s. as it is. you're ultimately cutting. cutting cutting spending and raising taxes those things can provide an interim solution in terms of revenue but they don't really provide an ultimate solution the ultimate solution is to get the economy growing again and then means thinking about productivity it means thinking about wise investments both public and private and it also means of thinking about what kind of tax system really makes sense and i think that there is this debate about raise

taxes or lower taxes but i think you'll see this evolve into a much more substantive discussion in the united states about how to reform taxes make them more conducive to growth and hopefully if that happens then we will see growth and will grow out of this problem. patrick professor university is call it cannot mix of economics and management in beijing thank you very much indeed. moving on now the u.n. security council has held a closed door meeting on syria with pressure growing after the latest shootings by security forces killing around one hundred opposition demonstrators in the city of hama on sunday european nations are circulating via a revised draft of the motion condemning the government's crackdown but russia china and others are opposed to military intervention repeating what happened in the. russia has condemned the violence in syria calling on both the government and

opposition to seize conflict and abide by the law meanwhile the new has expanded its sanctions on damascus imposing more asset freezes and travel bans against government officials including president bashar al assad and the sale eastward former british ambassador to syria says it's not the sanctions that may bring a sad down but the disastrous state of its country's economy. the economic sanctions are not of themselves going to bring. but what will. him over time is the fact that the economy is collapsing it is a truism of syrian politics that if he loses the sunni little lost support from damascus and aleppo to a lesser extent. he will not be able to maintain his hold on power and when they see that the road he is leading them down is leading to economic disaster then they are more likely to turn against him the moment he has talked

about reform but not done anything he's talked about checking the security state but in fact as unleashed it i don't see that intervention militarily would be anything other than disastrous within syria all syrians would object to that would be the one thing that might unite all syrians behind the government in fact. egyptian troops have clashed with protesters can thing out in the center of cairo with at least eighty reportedly detained if comes out to demonstrate is a flooded task of square demanding faster political reforms after febreze revolution and mark almond a professor of modern history at oxford university says the current unrest made me to another are frightening. the secular opposition who are happy with the train distance or barak they feel the military go in practice is a continuation. and also they want to have not been down. to

exist when we could see this attempt to clear the square may well grow more protests more violence the beginning of ramadan the other hand it also may be a sign that the government wants to use ramadan as a mom to calm the situation before we are supposed to have elections. in eight weeks time now of course more protests we could see as we've seen in other parts the arab world experts. in evening after the end of past and people were just afraid the hospitals would demonstrate we could see the government continue this would be an opportunity to correct them. strong support from people who feel they've had enough from instruction to caro but you have a kind of weariness with i'm sure but of course there are many people who. would also go far. and these are all thousands take industrial action in tel aviv in protest against the government the strikes follow a weekend of massive demonstrations over rising house prices and an escalating cost of living people are demanding social justice and better working conditions. for us

following developments and tell of it. israelis are mobilizing on the streets of tel aviv tonight in my day for a demonstration against the government although the numbers on my team to reach the tens of thousands never witnessed over the years the demonstration is much the same as it has been over the pasta the needs of the minds to mobilize on line the grievances against these may be government's economic policies of course but the israeli prime minister even that's a not which resigned as well as for a regime change now a short time ago the israeli president shimon peres sniffled some of news to protest organizers the initiator of the meeting in city wanted to see what the grievances were and finding that means when you say that what needed to be changed would be change a very different message compared to what we feel in concert than it's on the path of the tsunami and solve has been for two months over these protests since they began and we know that he is pushing for a thousandfold to be fostered it is possible this is

a poll that looks at you walk to see surrounding construction land. that's not the spokesperson say that means demonstrations were also a proportion and that was really put to me with sound and healthy having said that though the director general of the finance ministry the science that's in the office of the special committee to meet with the protestors are looking to make grievances the supreme government is struggling to deal with what is really one of the largest midst of crises that they've had in recent years there are of course part of those being made between what's happening there with its role what we saw over the arab world over the arab spring in the last few months but it was at this stage seem to be no indications of this approach is dissolving into violence although we have a pen till there have been a number of the race and they've executed as possible in the weekend before there was another mobilization happening online for a million man march tens of thousands of these raids have already signed up for that which is scheduled to take place the first weekend of september perhaps the

were russia's ambassador to egypt for a number of years. and witnessed the tragic events that shook the country the life of the vast majority of egyptians remain bitterly hard and it's constantly deteriorating do you think there's a possibility that egypt will experience another way of mass protests this time inspired by economic demand what are the prospects for egyptian state or considering the influence of the region any crucial decisions taken should only be taken by the people employing a democratic procedure be it a referendum plebiscite or a nationwide election did you know that there has been an action plan for reform drafted in egypt which includes reforming the electoral system for both parliamentary and presidential elections introducing amendments to the constitution adjusting existing legislation on adoption important new laws that will affect this social economic and political aspects of life for the out of community we hope our gyptian friends achieve progress and success on their possible reforms. into syria now which is one of the most difficult problems in the region the west responded

negatively to the statements and the actions of the syrian government on the use tightening sanctions against syria the un resolution is being used to probe the situation for the possibility of military intervention higher the chances that western countries will indeed unleash a military campaign against syria when we realize that city is going through a very difficult stage of development similar to a few other countries in the region an internal civil conflict broke out between the government and part of society political social and economic problems of aged both in terms of numbers and complexity we think the best way to deal with these problems is a nationwide dialogue combined with crucial political social and economic reforms we also call in the sitting government to keep their promises and live up to the hopes and aspirations of the people that were adequately express during the mass rallies that russia has refused to even discuss the draft resolution on syria proposed by france what is the reason behind such a tough stance especially with regard to the fact that moscow did not stonewall the

u.n. security council. well resolution on libya are there any other ways of resolving the syrian crisis with international help. we believe that the city and should address their 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 etc on the other hand we should learn our lessons this is the first the un resolution on libya you've mentioned we are all witness to it and we still see it neither the 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 tighten their position and opt for a tougher approach which is by no means opposed of achievement in terms of finding a mutually acceptable solution europe is becoming increasingly wary and

disappointed with nato military campaign in libya the conflict shows no sign of ending the plight of the civilian population is deteriorating radically what measures would you consider necessary for the conflict and parties and the international community to take in order to bring about a solution both in political and humanitarian terms but from the very start we have urged the parties in the conflict to cease all military action declared a truce and work at a sustainable solution for peace in libya in order to kick start the process of political reconciliation in this regard we have highly appreciated the contribution of the african union which prepared a route mile for reconciliation in libya the u.n. secretary general's envoy for libya is also contributing a lot to this process having come up with a number of additional settlement proposals addressing both military and political aspects as we discuss events in this region we can't avoid touching upon its key problem i mean the palestinian issue new generations of israelis and palestinians have maturity since the middle east peace process was launched but we still haven't

seen any fusible progress in the goshi asians would you say this is a deadlock or is there a way to get the peace process on track and what would it require. i think that everybody realizes that the palestinians and israelis are bound by destiny itself to live side by side as you know russia advocates establishing an independent palestinian state as soon as possible for the state to live alongside israel maintaining peace and security we are committed to this purpose both as a permanent member of the security council and as an octave participant of the middle east quartet there was a ministerial meeting of the quartet in washington recently which featured a very specific detailed discussion on the situation with regard to the palestinian israeli truck we are certainly concerned with the negotiation been stalled at the moment who still hope that both parties will find a way to agree on resuming the talks with a view to establishing an independent palestinian state as soon as possible and to resolve all of the remaining issues in order to reach

a final settlement between israel and the palestinians. last time close up team was in the cool gallery where men flock from all over the world to add a few centimeters to their self-confidence. this time are to go to the average. or still gets people like to. try to save a culture. where craig.
