in the movie goer to join the hotel's a movie that's the case we go to the grand imperial truly the george west coast coromandel you can a little closer to the to sit down to go and. read this and the colonel was so chilled as a treat. heading down the standard and poor's the strips the us of its highest credit rating infuriating the country's lenders with china already saying it's time to ditch the dollar as the reserve currency. is ready to brace for another round of unprecedented mass protests as people rally against the government others compare the country's plight to that of revolutionary egypt. and russia's jurassic park we take you on a trip to the remote for eastern a region where new breeds of dog will sort of be discovered.

international news in coming this is r.t. live in moscow just on eight pm here in the russian capital good to have you with us this hour the united states prized talk aaa credit rating has been cut for the first time since one thousand nine hundred seventeen standard and causes dropped america's ranking to a a plus this comes after a last minute deal earlier this week narrowly rescued the country from the fault s. and p. he says the spending cuts agreed by congress one of the hoff trillion dollars short and if it's not changed the rating could plummet further in the coming years of the a bomb and ministrations says the analysis is way off damage any recovery. to the economy is in washington for us. well it really is more than anything a huge a symbolic and unprecedented blow to the united states to its status as a safe investment basically what this credit rating lowering does it is it really

raises questions about the validity of the united states and the ability of the u.s. politically to get its financial house in order so to speak the record questions here for the american people for the u.s. government could be severe now while this only takes it down from a aaa to double a plus with a negative outlook threatening in fact that the rating could get lowered even more in the next two years what it does is of potentially it sends the message that the united states is a risky investments that could send interest rates going up for the federal government and because other borrowing costs are tied to that that means mortgage payments will go up mortgage interest rates can go up car interest rates can go up and really the rest of the u.s. economy could be severely affected now one thing that we do have to keep in mind here is that the obama administration had pointed out that the s. and p. had made an error of about two trillion dollars in. projections in releasing that information now the s. and p.

doesn't make these decisions based on any sort of special information they really it really is a political reaction based on facts that are available to just anyone and so the other thing we have to keep in mind here is that these same credit ratings agencies essentially allowed top ratings to continue in the united states at a time when we were investing a lot of money in these mortgage securities that essentially on the collapse and pulling down the u.s. economy with it so they don't really have all of that much credibility in the eyes of the world market still however we don't know what will happen on monday when the markets will open and if those interest rates do rise there could be a ripple at this very unstable economic time here in the united states with the passage of this debt deal the u.s. government's hands are essentially tied in terms of stimulating. economy in terms of any sort of new spending that could boost growth we saw g.d.p. growth would have stalled to almost a crawl in the second half of the year we saw on top of that the jobs report that

came out on friday for united states while it was somewhat positive it actually showed negative growth because it means that more people here in america have given up looking for work so politically there's really not that will in washington to do what's needed to stimulate growth and financially they simply do not have the tools in their possession in order to improve things here and so while these credit rating agencies may sometimes be accused by some financial experts having missed the mark long ago these small tiny effect in terms of higher interest rates could really really cripple what's already seems to be a worsening recession here in the united states. kevin zeese director of come home america door to us says the rest of the world is now realizing that america is losing its financial again many of the real years our economy is in terrible shape and the government's actions are actually counterproductive as number of nobel

prize winning economists and other top economists and so the focus now should not be on deficit should be on the only kind of moving in creating jobs unfortunately government is going in the opposite direction focusing on terrorists there's really choke the money supply even more is the lack of prosecution of wall street executives for a collapse in the economy. real spinelessness even more bad policy decisions the regulation of wall street which was led by the guys who caused the problem who work now for obama actually was inadequate i think people see the mystery action of our economy and recognize a few days of us edge of money on the economy are coming. and renowned economist richard wolfe told us that many are waking up to the reality that the u.s. economy is crippled. we've had twenty years of being told that our private enterprise economy is the royal road to success and prosperity forever then we had a crash of that system now we've had a recovery by

a government that took care of the banks and insurance companies first and assured us it will trickle down it's not trickling down that's what these unemployment numbers mean that's what the increasing foreclosure of people being thrown out of their homes means and so on the stock market is finally the investment community itself realizing that this system is broken and there is nothing on the horizon to take it out and the anxiety that used to be among all the average people the vanishing middle class and all the people worried about government spending that anxiety is now spreading even to the top of the economy as they realize they've gone way too far and may have killed the goose that is laying the golden egg at least for them. china view not as holder of the u.s. debt has immediately reacted to the news of the downgrade saying washington needs to cure its debt addiction beijing also called for

a new stable reserve currency instead of the dollar it concerns are also rising in asia the third largest economy india where the finance minister called the situation grave and it is reports now from new delhi. these markets are tumbling they were it's humbling on friday obviously we don't know what's going to happen on monday and specific reaction to this news many analysts many financial analysts here predicted this especially after the u.s. debt ceiling debate that will go along and in many ways is what people are saying led to these lower approval ratings they guess you could say the markets have tumbled here people are losing confidence in the american economy obviously there are things that soaring there is think a lots of decisions not specifically being made when it comes to that two point four trillion dollars in cuts a lot of people are wondering if the top of the u.s. this along as it comes to it this isn't just to raise the debt ceiling how much longer could it take to actually figure out specifically where to cut and asia has

a very vested interest in this if you think about what these ratings actually means that means that the united states won't be able to repay a lot of their loans and aid to actually hold three trillion dollars in the united states alone so people here are watching what's happening in the united states very closely. well the going rate came too late to hit europe's stock markets which you've already taken i'm going this week being blasted going the euro zone america's debt difficulties we've all the e.u. leaders criticize the u.s. rating agencies blaming them of double standard saying they will create a european one in response and dotty's daniel bushell has will now force from brussels. we use downgraded trust the rating agencies to junk. the agency admitted a two trillion dollar miscalculation when deciding this downgrade they claim to have the world's best minds working for them has really surprised people here because most know that america's has had unsustainable that for many years now well

everyone apart from the rating agencies it seems and they collapsed in the credit crunch they still had aaa ratings on those companies now that made the agencies lose their reputation but people lost their whole savings and triggered the world recession that followed. the rules are furious about s. and p's double standards they held with the white house a foolish decision they'd prefer it when it would take place what would happen and that's allowed the white house to prepare a response to the media or even question the agency's judgment none of the happened last week when the agencies graded the european union countries and their ratings now that suggests that the agencies are inconsistent to say the very least and as a result the european union is creating its own agencies. for americans who will see themselves having to pay more and more interest on their

loans and having to pay more. is bad really for everyone around the world who lend money to to america because it raises the risk of not getting that money back. one small debt for a man one giant a black hole for a government coming your way next we're in new york to ask what's the difference between our debts and those of our leaders. it's much worse for a government to be and why because we trust the government to do the right thing and they're doing absolutely the opposite of that don't you trust you sound to do the right thing and live within your means i do mean dad so it's that i can pay it off. thirty one u.s. special forces personnel and seven afghan soldiers have been killed in a helicopter crash in the eastern province according to president karzai his office the incident marks the biggest single loss of life for american forces in the

country well for more on this i'm now joined live from kabul by political analyst dr b. thanks very much indeed for joining us now president obama says that these deaths show the extraordinary cost of the war but at the same time the u.s. of course is talking about withdrawing the troops from the country and leaving it to a stable future does this sound realistic to you after this attack. of course the united states wants to reduce the number of its troops in afghanistan but they think in the future it will be. reality on the ground in afghanistan i think the united states will withdraw all the air forces by. fourteen from from afghanistan because it would be costly to sit in for the international community and for the government tender for the people of afghanistan as well but of course. they do not just states and you are me. pays

war casualties in afghanistan particularly in this attack. which happened in. afghanistan this is the first time you are meet. losses. to one of its soldiers and special soldiers in afghanistan and it is the highest american casualties in afghanistan but i think it will not effect. on the government of america to wait to draw all of its forces from afghanistan but they knew that there will be more in afghanistan into war against the taliban and al qaeda because al qaeda and the taliban are getting are gaining ground in afghanistan air campaign stronger and stronger. as you say in july you're saying how strong the al qaeda and the taliban are

getting as we know in july ahmed wali karzai the probably the afghan president was killed we're not too sure what because all of this helicopter crash was with the taliban of course are claiming responsibility for it i mean this is an indication as you're saying that the taliban is gaining strength and you're saying that maybe the troops won't go by twenty fourteen does that mean that the afghan security services won't be ready to handle the situation by twenty fourteen and they will need that backup from foreign forces. yes when the taliban announced. start teaching for this. confrontation with american and nato soldiers in afghanistan point of. view was to target. the key officials of the government of afghanistan in the taliban actually end up past three four months deviate in get implemented to this point of the sword in afghanistan and they killed

a number of afghan officials political and military officers. in afghanistan in taliban. that they well they will increase that number of attacks against foreign troops and and ask afghan troops because the taliban are gaining ground and they are they are becoming stronger and stronger in afghanistan so she may just really ask you i have to say rick sorry to interrupt but you talk about the taliban gaining strength you all there in afghanistan in kabul tell us what life is like there how it's changed over the past ten years and what is the overall sentiment of the older people there in terms of the results of the foreign occupation and indeed the strength of the taliban what is the feeling there just briefly. but this tradition has changed so many extended in afghanistan particularly in the big cities in afghanistan and. if we compare this to asia and to the taliban through it

in afghanistan it is better now back. it is it has the worsening situation is worsening in afghanistan because the taliban came in more strong and they can attack the targets and everywhere in afghanistan in many parts of the country even in big cities which is more secure in. areas that they have been remote areas in afghanistan because the taliban conducting suicide attacks in car bombing attacks such as aipac so it is not possible for. foreign troops to confront it because the people of afghanistan pays to be an all for war in afghanistan which is going on same studios on one and. the taliban the taliban. to expand the activity and active military activities in many parts of the country

because of the number of civilian casualties is increasing in afghanistan besides all afghan military forces and foreign troops. would have to leave it there thank you so much for your time there live from kabul political analyst dr hubby about hockey and thank you very much indeed. the first wave of massive and she government protesters judas recalls israel this saturday noise activists are hoping for two hundred thousand will take part in the third weekend of rallies due to start in a couple of hours from now one street has already been renamed by some as israeli tough here after the square where the egypt uprising took place and all these poor slip this report the basis of a saturday tens of thousands of protesters will be taking to the streets here in tel aviv as well as in several other cities around the country where they'll be holding mass rallies against the government there hoping to top the one hundred fifty thousand nationwide who took to the streets last weekend this is the first

saturday in a row that protests all be held they are united under the banner of the government has abandoned the people and the central message coming from organizers is that the people are taking the country back now the plan tonight is for demonstrations to march from last time with all the ways of the business council meet it tames city has been established the final destination is not far from here at the curia just plains compound and there will be holding a mass rally causing to a number of demands on the government of the civil speakers several popular singers also imprisoned in the last week there have been a number of smaller demonstrations that have been held for several hours earlier this week taxi drivers blocked off a number of main roads they were protesting against the high cost of diesel there was also another protest among teachers university professors and students and they were united under the banner we education for all and another demonstration just

yesterday we hundreds of parents with strollers took to the streets and they were protesting against the wizened costs and the high cost of having children feeling as well because many prime minister. has been surprised by the massive support all these demonstrations and these governments. struggling in terms of how to deal with in this instance what you can hear some people here in israel saying is that in the time yahoo was so obsessed with gathering intelligence for threats from the mediterranean birds who missed the opportunity to see what was happening. under his eyes. see. well let's get some more insight on the situation from in this. should say one of the founders of tent number forty eight an organization campaigning for equal rights for israel's jewish and arab citizens thanks very much indeed for joining us here in our she's sure we've seen calls for. over the last three weeks or so but you organization is raising political issues so what do you

actually protesting about. trying to discuss the. national and the political situation of palestinians inside and outside of israel as a part of this protest we don't believe that there can be socially change without. addressing this issue of palestinians in israel it's a core issue and it has to do with economics with housing and with actually every government government decision would you think that any reaction would be raised just was could you can you get any reaction from the government over those issues you're campaigning about. we're hoping we're not sure because we're calling for major change we're calling for a palestinian and this is something that i'm not sure the government is willing to

talk about in this stage and what some are calling a brutal fall in tel aviv where the campsite is they're actually calling it i think you're right at the moment they're calling it the israeli town here referring of course to the revolution square in egypt where. of course their revolution started you think that's a fair comparison. actually no i don't think this is their revolution and not yet and i think that the fact that this protest chooses to focus only on social issues and to be only jewish and zionist protest is actually. not a route towards really political change like. the one that happened in egypt for example and yes it is the malaria in their regard of young people joining that

but just people coming out to the streets which is very blessed but this is not enough and i don't think the way this struggle is now. being managed is going to really. cause serious change of course a good many issues being raised where as you say many social issues were getting back to your course concerning the israeli arab relationship on the one of the interesting thing is that it is really our citizens are also of course experiencing housing shortages and facing your fictions all we're actually seeing a man on the streets and campaigning for their cause. it's a very problematic situation because there first of all we do see. some arab citizens palestinians citizens of israel joining the protest but we are not seeing major change in the. palestinian population in israel i think because exactly

this point that this struggle is not yet. a real political struggle that addresses the palestinian issues and israel and outside of israel and just briefly a little bit ashamed of i shall tell you of course a lot of pressure from the u.s. and all the other countries concerning. settlements issue number of course is one of your main initiatives today do you think there's any so i'm not sure we see the israeli government backtracking on the settlement issue just briefly. talking about government policy and in here is about the settlement issue obviously something which israel's been very much criticized the government can criticize every settlement policy at the moment obviously something that you are concerned about do you see any backtracking there tall from the government standing down any compromise at all. no not that. i didn't see any doubts about settlements and not yet anyway actually settlers joining this protest

and are now also protesting for better housing. budgets from the government and they are part of the base and that complex thing when fixation of the lands from palestinians but. i don't see any movement in the government in this direction very much being there to protest. you know sorry i just finished the spanish thank you our care where we were obviously a bit of a communication problem i thank you very much indeed and this. is going to be anticipated turn also a massive turnout tonight saturday nights of course we'll be keeping. an eye on the developments there thank you very much indeed one of the founders of tent number forty eight a single isolation campaigning for equal rights for israel's jewish and arab citizens joining us live for a living as i say we'll keep you up to date with the events that and of course paula slip she's our correspondent she's in tel aviv and she's posting comments on

our twitter account it's all she underscore called on what's actually happening out of the so-called israeli head of those mass rallies which we're talking about which if you did some nice and one of the latest tweets says the protesters pledge to continue their rallies until prime minister netanyahu meets demands you can log on to all of the underscore comments upon the latest on this and other developing stories we're covering here on t. v well next we travel thousands of kilometers east of moscow and also millions of years back in time. and we're in the far east in a region that's a remote rich area holding russia's largest reserves of precious metals but not easily severed has met one team whose treasure lies not in gold but bones this week the russia close up team is coming to you all week from the far eastern

hour more region after many this region's distinctive juice to its proximity to china and its mass reserves of war materials and natural resources but one paleontologist and his team it's the bones of ancient dinosaurs the skull the deep within the ground here that will put this region firmly on the mount. you even on the ski is a not obsessed with the promised a bygone age when dinosaurs rule this part of russia he may have been born in the countries that rest in areas but it's the far east on tap jurassic history in the region to which he has devoted his life to restore her very near has just been known since about nine hundred forty eight the work of an unbelievable number of bones are buried here and i think will be digging for at least another two years when they literally everywhere here we are no region is looking up one of the few functioning archaeological sites only here can a site boast of having produced

a complete dinosaur skeleton that discovery made a decade ago led to the full recognition of a new breed of dinosaur an order to town or giant swan at twelve nice along harbor of all found almost exclusively here and it was really some of the first stops of the fragment of tail bone sticking out of. unsound went on to make a really intelligent history than since followed in his father's footsteps it's painstaking work requiring patience and skill in equal measure when we discover the war we begin to remove the ground around it. in life your hand and the show where you go for very slow because there are more bones in the ground around it. a lives this. year and his team have been excavating this site for the ponds three years of already they found well over one thousand dinosaur bones approximately

sixty five million years old but they believe that the bones of hundreds of more dinosaurs i gets to be found it in this small plot alone i'm told that these are all new slightly fragments of another giant duckbilled planted unique to the region and named in its own or more source is another previously undiscovered breed credited to team a lot skill which includes natalia also and scientists it was she who came up with both dinosaurs names as well as taking day to day charge of running the region's only paved logy the burra tree and new zealand each new discovery missed you can clone one examines the aim is to inspire the next generation dinosaur how much of this move was too much on ensuring the family's feats don't do i manage but i reckon it's about what go on up here you can see a photo of your boats here of asian sites and here you see photos of my bonus hours
