in india oh she's available in the movie the joint the hotel rooms the home of the that's the great way to go to the grand imperial truly the taj was there. you can go with her till the close richard to say don't need to go and. read this in the kennel was her job as a retreat. the emergency deal to avert a debt crisis has been approved by the lower chamber of the u.s. congress now really escaping a devastating defeat. of the death of the bill is now in the hands of the u.s. senate after months of political bickering will it be enough to mark financial crisis. and a global stocks rally as america escapes their self-imposed budget collapse put confidence in the u.s. reputation as the world's creditor has been severely damaged. russia says a u.n. action that could help to bring an end to violence in syria but warns against
6:01 am
excessive measures that could lead to a libya style intervention experts stress the e.u. and american sanctions are being enforced against damascus are only making matters worse. than the voices of tens of thousands of anti-government protesters in israel calling for the prime minister to stand down by going on reported by the international media. a very warm welcome to you this is r.t. live from moscow i'm referencing shake the lower chamber of the u.s. congress has passed a last minute deal to prevent a devastating full scale to force after months long political confrontation the only remaining hurdle now is for the legislation in the senate to get approval that's expected later on choose day. as in washington with mine. not
6:02 am
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 avert 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 tightening of growth now we have to keep in mind that 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
6:03 am
that neither the left and you are 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 to lift the ban and nobody likes what they see that 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. cut off reporting like that from actual writer peter bill that says that a good deal won't help avoid a bigger us crisis in the lunch. it in fact is not a victory for anybody the republicans are certainly not happy and they are on the other side the democrats and that of course includes the president they wanted to see rich americans paying making a greater contribution to the deficit reduction of what could have meant higher taxes for very well to do people the republicans have stopped that and so naturally
6:04 am
to the democrats they are also not happy the actual credit rating this aaa rating night paean to out now and it's possible that one of the rating agencies would either downgrade that aaa rating or put it as well as call on negative watch in other words that's a warning but if things don't improve they would turn great at some point in the future that of course is going to alarm everybody but could certainly have an impact on banks all through the world and if banks are unable to use their treasury bills as collateral in order to borrow money from their central banks and the valley is one of a big this event of course we could see another freeze up of the world banking system but way we did in the year two thousand and eight with who knows what sort of. impact on the world economy we could be not only having a double dip but another another major recession and that is the fear which whatever they do in the united states having run up these enormous debts that fear
6:05 am
is going to remain and it's a valid fear to. follow the risk of america's a possible self-imposed default has resonated far and why with the global stocks rally following the house vote but our teams previous reports despite the immediate economic relief more forces called in to replace the dollar as the world currency being at. chinese newspapers are calling this entire u.s. debt deal debate irresponsible and even immoral so although people are celebrating the fact that they did pass there is a lot of cautious optimism here but 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 to pan being number two so confidence has really gone down here many critics of it feel or think 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 is the
6:06 am
unemployment problem isn't solved in the united states but 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 the people's jobs here in this continent. and that was are things are pretty shrewd of the reporting from new delhi well there you are with our two younger still to come on the program reporting voice. i haven't seen anyone from c.n.n. or fox news or any other big news channel here and it's really sad we also deserve a chance to be heard out. tens of thousands of israelis demanding that their government stands down to see the international media is turning its back on the country's problems. reports coming you know dozens more protester deaths at the hands of government forces in syria russia says limited u.n. security council action could bring quote good results in helping to stop the
6:07 am
ongoing violence in the country but moscow warns that any measures must be restricted to solving and not aggravating the conflict the security council has held her close to emergency session on syria amid reports the government forces there killed over one hundred protesters on sunday goes already issued its strongest condemnation of violence appealing to both sides of the conflict which has been cautious about international action on syria fearing a repeat of what it calls the violation of the un mandate on libya damascus is already under a set of american and e.u. sanctions but a former u.k. ambassador to syria told us that internal developments in the country will end up asking 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
6:08 am
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 status but in fact as unleashed it i don't see that intervention militarily would be anything other than disastrous within syria all syrians would have ject 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 well or western officials have ruled out military intervention in syria economic sanctions against americas are being stepped up the middle east expert joshua landis thinks these measures will eventually backfire on the syrian people all of the syrian opposition leaders who have yet.
6:09 am
elected executive committees have all demanded there be no foreign intervention now of course foreign intervention is very broad in gray area there is the alternate dimension like libya but there's also economic strangulation that come along the united states already has sanctions fairly severe sanctions on syria the west feels it needs something it doesn't want to stop trade you know we've tried sanctions in iraq in iran. they haven't worked very much and when they work they start not the government and that's the danger of sanctions it's the feel good because you feel like you're doing something and you could tell the opposition you're on their site but in fact they are to hurt the people you don't want to hurt . i know we are following old events taking place in the middle east where the unrest continues you can follow us on our website just in the good offices or come

6:13 am
well on the way for you here are back to the front line after two decades find out why the u.s. sealed a multi billion dollar deal to supply russian helicopters to afghan security forces . now are turning our attention to israel where the mainstream media is being accused of burying their heads in the sand over coverage of the biggest antigovernment protests the country has seen in decades tens of thousands of people fed up with the living standards of staging demonstrations calling for prime minister binyamin netanyahu to stand down but as he's pull reports from tel aviv protesters voices are simply going unheard by the rest of the world. tens of thousands on the streets of israel angry today and protesting for change but is anyone listening when it comes to a lot of the foreign media want to see more of an action movie and. it's been very. very positive. well into week three the
6:14 am
largest demonstration in israel in over a decade and how did a.b.c. c.b.s. and n.b.c. cover it they didn't a young a woman set up a tent the editors of france twenty four b.b.c. and sky coughed up just a few meager seconds perhaps not even that interesting. but. in the studios there's a protest what exactly is a protest a social protest for the revolution it's not the same kind of story the pollution is not as big and dramatic some of the bigger revolutions happening around the middle east and i mean of his writing isn't surprised by the worldwide lack of media interest he's worked in the israeli press for decades but pushing for media both foreign and local there is a box that the international media has put israel in and the palestinian conflict was sort of israeli lebanese and syrian conflict and anything that doesn't fit into
6:15 am
that. type of of news item which is unfortunate that just makes hundred reyes and others angry for nine days she's been camping here furious that she can't make ends meet as a university student it makes me feel sad that when egypt decided to stand up and say we've had enough and eleven and they decided to say we've had enough the media was all over there i haven't seen anyone from c.n.n. or fox news or any other big news channel here and it's really sad we also deserve a chance to be heard out on the street has been. it's not your corner by for the people who have an optimism perhaps the bates who can bring down a government in the way they neva think talking with clay would pass with the cameras they were willing nonstop to hear a pretty excellent call to see oxy tell if it mattered to. her.
6:16 am
and i mean time danny schechter says that the reality of life in israel often 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 kill 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 even just the economic realities that people there are experiencing 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 and 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
6:17 am
you look at the middle east generally speaking the clock only about the arab countries only they have internal the discord to even never hear about israel's internal discord and the fact that this uprising essentially is taking place in israel while the same time there's a lot 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 now incoming from israel where the prime minister has announced he is ready to discuss israeli with the palestinians and the new minute netanyahu was agreed to negotiate a possible return to pre-one nine hundred sixty seven territory lines israel has been occupying land in the west bank where palestinians hope to build their own

over afghanistan over twenty years ago they regarded as their main enemy as they struggle through air missions over high mountains in extreme weather and now it's easy described these the soviet designed am i seventeen which made its name as a by any survivors. the engine of his helicopter i mean not to be the most advanced but it's well concerted from the destructive sounds unlike many of its alternative is very powerful and perfect for the extreme climate of afghanistan if you'll be able to lotteries here for votes twenty five years of. the u.s. led mission in afghanistan will end soon when nato troops go there and my seventeen's will make a comeback to face the afghan is when once again russia will ship twenty one helicopters to venice than to help a country security engineers and pilots work together to perfect and ease operating
