sedona to go clear from the city the colonel was virtually as a treat. washington takes the first step to improving the long awaited deal to increase the u.s. debt limit just a day before a potential devastating default. the destiny of the bill is now in the hands of the u.s. senate but after months of political bickering it will be enough to avert a financial crisis. global stocks rally as the self-imposed crisis in america is averted but confidence in the u.s. economy's reputation as the world's creditor has been severely down. russia says u.n. action could help bring an end to violence in syria but warrants against excessive measures that could lead to a libya style intervention experts stress the e.u. what american sanctions are being enforced against umask us are only making matters

worse. and the voices of tens of thousands of anti-government protesters and calling for the prime minister to stand down are going on reported by the international media. just after twelve noon here in the russian capital you're watching our t.v. now the lower chamber of the u.s. congress has passed a last minute deal to prevent a devastating a full scale default that's after months long political confrontation well the only remaining hurdle for the legislation is senate approval which is expected later on tuesday. is in washington with more. not a lot of good news in terms of the big picture for the u.s. economy of course the only thing that we can be certain of that this deal means is

that it averts the self imposed potential crisis of a u.s. default what we do know in this legislation is it does sort of cut spending by about two point four trillion dollars over the next decade what that means in the short term for the u.s. economy is potentially a lot of stifling of growth now we have to keep in mind that the unemployment rates are still astronomically high at nine point two percent and so a lot of economists are saying this is not really the time to be cutting the spending this whole battle over the debt limit is kind of a proxy war an ideological proxy war between the republicans in congress and the democrats in congress and we have to keep in mind that the two thousand and twelve election is coming up for both the congress and of course president obama and a lot of political analysts are saying this is just another way for the republicans to try to embarrass the president to make them look bad the irony in all this is that neither the left and nor the right really liked what came out of the deal at the end we saw one democrat said that this was

a sugar coated satan sandwich you lift the bun and nobody likes what they see and of course by creating the special commission that will sort of figure out where to cut spending over the next few months that issue is still going to come up right in time for the elections so no one really wins in this deal while the compromise agreed in washington comes just in time to prevent an immediate catastrophe that actual analyst max kaiser believes it won't be enough to persuade ratings agencies to let america keep its precious aaa credit score. u.s. treasury bond market will be downgraded it will no longer carry the aaa rating no matter what they decide and this is exactly what wall street banks want you don't make much money trading aaa rated u.s. government debt most of the economy in america over fifty percent of the economy is tied to investment banking and wall street trading so they control the g.d.p. for them to continue to make money they need to look for new business new revenues

turning america's aaa rating to junk will make them many many billions of dollars in fees it's just simple economics and simple business just follow the money of the folks on wall street the american public by the juggler and they going to keep squeezing until they end up putting another fifty or sixty million of people permanently into poverty and just destroy this economy what obama needs to do if you're working in the interest of the people would be to nationalize j.p. morgan and goldman sachs immediately fire these crooks and start all over again because you've got a predatory monopolist down there on wall street who is interested in wiping out the middle class for a quick buck and that is tyranny. all the risk of america's possible self-imposed default has resonated far and wide with global stocks rallying following the house vote but artie's previous reader reports that despite the immediate economic relief more voices calling to replace the dollar as the world currency are being heard.

chinese newspapers are calling this entire u.s. debt deal debate irresponsible and even immoral so although people are celebrating the fact that this did pass there is a lot of cautious optimism here well it's important to note that asia has a huge vested interest in what's going on in the united states that is held by asian countries china being number one szczepan being number two so confidence has really gone down here many critics of this deal are thing that this isn't going to do anything to help american unemployment which directly impacts the asian economy as well as you know asia is the manufacturing center of the world so if the unemployment problem isn't solved in the united states that also means that consumer confidence goes down for america and that means that they're not going to be buying exports from asia so that can really impact. people's jobs here in this continent. that was. reporting there from india.

and coming up ahead in the program on the reported voices. i haven't seen anyone from c.n.n. or from fox news or any other big news channel here and it's really sad that we also deserve the chance to be heard out. tens of thousands of israelis demanding that their government stands out and say the international media is turning its back on the country's problems. all reports are coming in of dozens more protester deaths at the hands of government forces in syria russia says limited a un security council action could bring quote good results in helping stop the ongoing violence in the country but moscow warns that any measures must be restricted to solving not aggravating the conflict now the security council has held a close emergency session on syria amid reports the government forces there killed

over one hundred protesters on sunday moscow's already issued its strongest condemnation of the violence appealing to both sides of the conflict russia has been cautious about international action on syria fearing a repeat of what it calls the violation of the un mandate on libya will damascus is already under a set of american and sanctions but a former u.k. ambassador to syria told our team that internal developments of the country will oust the leader. the economic sanctions are not of themselves going to bring down but what will undermine him over time is the fact that the economy is collapsing it is a truism of syrian politics that if he loses the sunni middle class 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. so i don't see any prospect of it. a western officials have ruled out military intervention in syria but economic sanctions against of ask us are being stepped up middle east expert charter landis thinks these measures will eventually backfire on the syrian people. all of the syrian opposition leaders who have matt said no and elected executive committees have all demanded that there be no

foreign intervention now of course foreign intervention is a very broad and gray area there is military intervention likely be up but there is also economic strangulation of the country which could come along the united states already has sanctions fairly severe sanctions on syria the west feels it needs to do something it doesn't want to stop trade you know we've tried sanctions in iraq in iran libya they haven't worked very much and when they have work they starve the people and not the government and that's the danger of sanctions if they feel good because you feel like you're doing something and you could tell the opposition you're on their side but then fact they often hurt the people you don't want to hurt. following all the events taking place in the middle east where the rest continues you can go to our website that's our dot com to get the latest news updates and videos and waiting for you right now an egyptian police clash with activists of the long lasting demonstration on cairo's tahrir square trying to

israel off it goes unnoticed because the country only attracts coverage for its role in conflicts. many americans think somehow the israeli government is very popular the leaders of israel are to get a lot of attention in the american media israel is presented almost as a model with the country when it's actually an extremely divided country a massive protest of the kind we've seen in israel about you just the economic realities that people there are experiencing is something americans have no understanding of because there's no context in the reporting israel's only reported in the context of its conflict with iran or its conflict with palestinians the actual reality of life in israel what's happening to people there and how this right wing government in israel is handling the economy is something that we never really hear about whatsoever it's a very unstable situation the economy there is very unstable as well you know when

you look at the middle east generally speaking they talk only about the arab countries only they have internal the discord the never hear about israel's internal discord and the fact that this uprising essentially is taking place in israel while the same time as one going on in syria this one going on in egypt you know shows that the same pressures are you know being experienced by israeli people as well which is inflation economic pressure food prices rising oh all kinds of economic uncertainty. more news is coming from e's row where the prime minister has announced he is ready to discuss is really borders with the palestinians benjamin netanyahu has agreed to negotiate a possible return to pre-one nine hundred sixty seven territory lines israel has been occupying lands in the west bank where palestinians hope to build their own state since the a six day war over forty years ago

know vehicles are reports. i've got it's is a nickname soviet soldiers gave to the strong standing wind of afghanistan over twenty years ago they regarded as their main enemy as they struggled through air missions over high mountains in extreme weather now it's these the soviet designed and why seventeen which made its name as of guided survivors. the engine of this helicopter me not to be the most advanced but it's well protected from the destructive sound unlike many of its alternative is very powerful and perfect for the extreme climate of afghanistan it will be able to operate here for about twenty five years if. the u.s. led mission in afghanistan will end soon when they do its troops go the only seventeen's will make it come back to face the afghan is whence once again russia will ship twenty one helicopters to afghanistan to help the country's security in

years and pilots work together to perfect and ease operating of m y seventeen s while it seems quantum physics to me afghan pilots are already familiar with the machine many of them trained under soviet air force instructors even now twenty years later speak perfect russian. i graduated from a pilot school in the russian city of christendom in one thousand nine hundred four when i got back to afghanistan to serve in the army we only had soviet aircraft those machines were the best to get to the most difficult and isolated parts of the country with the us will be for afghanistan's m.-i seventeen's something which put american helicopter manufacturers in a spin with congress and using russian military aircraft the countries had plenty of helping hands after the soviet invasion and russia provided millions of dollars worth of military hardware and wrote off a ten billion dollar debt to the u.s.s.r. now the deal is sealed russian engineers are working to assemble the helicopters

eon is asking for further reduction so the company is suffering have the losses due to the gap between gazprom surprise and that's all the european markets which serves but gazprom wants to stick to its long term contracts which it says provides a secure it's of all the customers at only a small premium to the support prize the talks have lost it for more than a year now without success so eon is now taking the matter to the arbitration court lawyers we've spoken to suggest it is within the court's power to instruct the gazprom to decrease what it charges but it would need a contractual reason to find a buyer. looking at the markets oil prices are on the pressure following a disappointing report on u.s. manufacturing that boosted concerns over crude demand like so it is currently trading below ninety five dollars a barrel while brant is losing twenty six cents and is trading at one hundred sixteen dollars a barrel. precious metals are gaining this hour as investors look for safe haven

gold is gaining nearly half a percent while silver is over a quarter of a percent and the black. stocks are in the red investors are concerned about the slowdown in u.s. manufacturing japanese exporters strained under the weight of a strong yen lost three percent and intended drop over two and a half percent overnight falls in commodity prices also hit the region's resources and banking stocks are among the worst performers in hong kong. stocks in europe open lower with banks and focus markets are keeping an eye on us where the debt deal now is heading to the senate after winning approval in the house of representatives shares of b.m.p. perry point six percent up to second quarter results barclay's rose over two percent. after its earnings. and here in moscow it's a similar story of main indices in negative territory the r.t.s. is down three quarters of a percent while wise x. is down a third of a percent now let's have

a look at some individual movers otherwise x. energy and banking stocks are weighing on in the c.s. gas problem is losing a point six percent while the t.v. is a third of a percent down and russia's air carrier air flight is also down despite positive results the company has almost doubled its net profit in the first half of the year reaching two hundred forty three million dollars. plus an internet investment group d.s.t. global has bought five percent of social network twitter for four hundred million dollars that's according to the financial times quoting a source close to the deal the newspaper suggest the investment might be the last one before twitter list of wall street d.c. global also owns almost eight percent of facebook. the united states may have avoided defaulting on its debts but that has created little optimism on the markets instead investors are focusing on the poor state of the world economy

also adding to concern is the fact that washington will be cutting spending by two and a half trillion dollars over the next ten years we do this deal in plays we're going to see some significant cuts in public spending in the second half of gear exactly at a time when the u.s. economy is slowing down so obviously i can use to imply some good old divisions downward revisions in green growth united states and united states is going to mean the world i think that we're going to see some growth down don't want to be regions in the world and in such kind of environment usually russia doesn't do very well we have done a couple of calculations we estimated if. growth united states for example is very easy to do by one percent growth in russia could actually suffer by two percentage points which is not non-trivial nontrivial impact. that's our business of that for this hour the backward law and funny that's.
